When he was excited, he saw that Wei Zhongxian, who was reading the letter, changed his face, and he didn't read it, but handed the letter to the Emperor of the Apocalypse. ”

"Your Majesty, the first priority at this time is to let the thief retreat, although the conditions for him to splash the sky are agreed, if the thief does not go, the general situation is critical, if the thief goes, there is still a chance to clean up"

Thousands of cavalry led by Sun Chengzong have entered Shuntianfu, but they did not dare to advance when they stopped at Jizhou, because the soldiers and horses of the Zhao family army were between Baodi County and Xianghe County, dozens of miles south of them, if Sun Chengzong's soldiers and horses moved, it was likely to be cut off from the back road, and the cavalry and the infantry brigade behind were cut off from it.

If the cavalry ignores the westward division of Beijing, grain and grass is not a problem, but if it is blocked by Xuzhou soldiers and horses outside the capital, and then flanked back and forth, it is very likely that the whole army will be annihilated, and the Xuzhou soldiers and horses will firmly nail the reinforcements in the direction of Jizhen and Liaozhen, and the Jiliao border army will not only retreat to the station, but the risk of advancing is extremely great.

At this time, the imperial court could no longer afford another big defeat, and Sun Chengzong naturally knew this, so he sent a fast horse into Beijing to deliver the letter, for fear that his own progress would affect the judgment of the monarch and ministers.

Xuzhou soldiers and horses have been cut off from north to south, the Xuanda soldiers and horses in the west of the capital are either disabled or immovable, and the Jiliao border army in the east does not dare to move, at this time is being nailed to death by Xuzhou soldiers and horses in the Jizhou area, Sun Chengzong's letter dispelled the last trace of luck and fantasy in the hearts of the monarchs and ministers.

In the Wenyuan Pavilion, the Son of Heaven, the ministers, eunuchs and nobles looked at each other, everyone had a true or false discouragement on their faces, everyone was staring at others, hoping that the words of this peace would be said by others, at this time, there was no other choice, but whoever proposed this peace proposal, I am afraid that they will be held accountable in the future, if there is anything to speak of.

Eye contact, and finally the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian's waist was a little rickety, but he still took a step forward, but before he could speak, he heard hurried footsteps outside Wenyuan Pavilion, everyone subconsciously trembled, Sun Ge Lao's reinforcements were blocked in the middle of the road and couldn't move, and there was still some bad news to run over!

"It's not good, it's not good, the thieves are coming towards the city"

***********

The second regiment of the first brigade of the Zhao family army and the vanguard cavalry converged and rested for the night, and at noon on the second day, the soldiers and horses of the Zhao family army outside the capital set up an array and approached the city wall, and the capital shook!

Under the command of the banners and drums, the spears and firecrackers of the second regiment of the first brigade lined up in columns and marched forward in a neat pace, while the more than 3,000 cavalrymen were separated from the two wings, slowly moving forward, the foot soldiers were in the center, and the cavalry were divided into two wings.

There are people in the city and outside the city who are keeping an eye on the movements of the Zhao family's army, as soon as they move here, they immediately know inside and outside the city, looking at the five thousand people of the Zhao family's army approaching, no one dares to move inside and outside the capital, and the two large camps in Jingnan and Jingbei have gathered soldiers and horses, but the officers and soldiers in these two places do not dare to go out of the camp at all, no matter how the will urges, everyone does not dare to move.

The defeated soldiers have brought back the description of how strong the thieves in Xuzhou, the news of the defeats, the exaggerated descriptions that are true or false, have long made the officers and soldiers lose their fighting spirit, if they can fight, everyone is still willing to fight, but the deed of death is still forgotten, and they can't be beaten, so why bother to toss it.

In these two large camps, the eunuchs and Wenchen who came to urge began to speak sharply, and then they lost their voices, and the eunuchs and Wenchen who commanded the soldiers and horses here just explained with a bitter face that they did not dare to accept the matter of sending troops, and in such a situation, the generals who really led the troops had a plan, and the soldiers under their hands were not to protect the family and defend the country, but the capital of their own future wealth or life, besides, in the current situation, who dares to urge too tightly, force too tightly, and cause a mutiny, who can still survive in the chaotic army.

It turned out that the arrogant eunuchs and civil servants did not dare to urge the generals, and the generals who treated the soldiers like pigs and dogs did not dare to persecute the soldiers, everyone only dared to maintain it so vaguely, in these two large camps, enough grain and grass, double the reward, and maintain a point of dignity, if you go to war, then there is no condescension, it depends on who has a knife in his hand.

On the city wall on the east side of the capital, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty hid behind the battlements and low walls, tremblingly looking at the approaching Zhao Jiajun, the artillery on the city has been filled with gunpowder, the rolling wood and stones are also piled up everywhere, and the water and oil in the cauldron have been boiled.

Since watching the scene of dozens of Xuzhou cavalry besieging the official army that day, all kinds of unbelievable rumors from the defeated soldiers in Tianjin and Shandong have been taken as true, and no one dares to go out of the city to engage these killing gods.

Jingshi is the second largest city in the world, second only to Nanjing, which is built by using the mountain, the city wall is towering and towering, like a giant on the Yandi Plain, since the Ming Dynasty, the Tartars from the grassland, the thieves from all over the Ming Dynasty, more than once came to this city, but no one can shake him, the monarchs and ministers in the Beijing Division have such self-confidence, but I don't know why, seeing the Xuzhou soldiers and horses outside the city, no one is stable in their hearts, they have heard that the Xuzhou thieves used a giant cannon to defeat Jinghai County, can this capital be stopped, everyone has no bottom in their hearts?

A thousand or several hundred infantry regiments, three thousand cavalry, and a team of nearly five thousand people are not small in scale, but compared with this majestic giant city, it is like ants and people, but this ant is moving forward without fear, and people are trembling and helpless.

"Get ready, get ready, listen, the day of loyalty to the country has come, let's not embarrass our ancestors!" The somewhat bloody military general yelled at the head of the city, and his personal soldiers were all full of righteousness and awe-inspiring.

But those ordinary soldiers are indifferent, and even a little sarcastic, everyone eats food as soldiers in the Beijing camp, and the food is less than five months a year, although there is no practice, but they are not idle all day, either to go to the big man's house to be a slave, or to farm and work for the big man, these are all done in vain, and they are not even paid.

On weekdays, you are calling for cattle and horses, and at this juncture, what do you say to be loyal to the country? Why? Everyone didn't say anything, but they all had a plan in their hearts, the enemy army really wanted to fight, scatter the damn ones, see if they can go into the city and make a fortune, who will work hard for this harsh court!

There is a mess in the city of Jingshi, there is no news to hide on weekdays, and there is no way to keep it secret at this time, as soon as I heard that the Xuzhou thieves are going to attack the city, everyone in the city is frightened, and everyone who has a way to run towards the west gate, but now that Hu Wang does not dare to make this fortune, the city gate is closed, and he does not dare to have a trace of ambiguity.

The eunuchs guard the key intersections everywhere, the forbidden army is riding horses on the streets, the capital is under martial law, the eunuchs are eunuchs practicing martial arts equipment and weapons, and they have been prepared for a year or two, to say that the combat power can not be counted, but now the most reassuring thing in the palace is them, the forbidden army several battalions are the core of the force, to be used as a maneuver, and then to escort the royal family out of Beijing also depends on them.

The celebrant supervisor, the imperial horse supervisor and the Dongchang and Jinyiwei are all guarding everywhere, their identities are there, and they are not afraid of any noble relatives and high-ranking officials who want to sprinkle them, the apocalypse decreed, Wei Zhongxian and the cabinet also let go, if anyone doesn't make trouble for a long time, then arrest it, if the identity is not enough, then it will be killed,

Relying on these people to maintain it in the city, the order has not generally collapsed, but everyone has a string in their hearts, and everyone feels that they shouldn't be so nervous, even if it is three heads and six arms outside the city, it is only a few thousand people, how can these thousands of people be able to defeat the capital division of this million people, how is this possible? But everyone thinks that it is possible, that the Xuzhou thief army is too strong......

In this absurdity and panic, the team of the Zhao family army arrived at a position about three miles away from the city wall, and the artillery at the head of the city roared one after another, and the momentum was not small, but the shells were all missed, and the artillery on the city was fixed, and it was impossible to change the direction, and the queue of the Zhao family army deliberately avoided these ranges.

"If our Xuzhou cannon is on the head of the city, how dare we swagger forward."

"If we are in Xuzhou, how can we close the city gate and defend it, how can we let people run rampant outside the city."

Someone in the team replied in a low voice, by this time, to this distance, no one was nervous, everyone was just excited, and against the head of the capital on their side, whether it was true or not, all kinds of defenses had been prepared, if Xuzhou dared to approach, the rolling wood and stone bow and arrow firearms immediately poured down.

At this time, those Beijing camp soldiers have nowhere to run if they want to run, because the forbidden army began to go to the city to supervise the war, and under the threat of the bright sword, everyone does not dare to have any other thoughts, which makes people sigh, it turns out that the old man knows the details of all aspects, and knows how to deal with it, but why don't you usually ignore it! If you look at the layout of the city, you will be a lot more stable, if the thieves in Xuzhou really want to attack the city, all kinds of equipment in the city will definitely be bloody and kill.

But what the defenders of the city head of the capital didn't expect was that the queue of the Zhao family army stopped at a position three miles away, separated by more than a thousand steps, but there was nothing to do, which made everyone in the city breathe a sigh of relief, it was better not to fight.

The artillery of the Zhao family army has begun to be erected, and the cavalry has also dismounted to help, and the three heavy guns are quickly in place
