Chapter 657: Turning the tide of battle
Only a few of the anti-army forces this time belong to Zhu Yonghao, and most of the others are cultivated by Zhu Henghe with all his efforts, which is all his confidence. Seeing that the situation is not right at this moment, where can Zhu Henghe let Zhu Yonghao continue to risk his people?
What the?
Storm? What if after half of the fight, what should I do if Yan Anjun was cut off by the rear plugged in?
Deal with Yan An first? Forget it! Yan Anjun is so difficult to fight, full of tenacity, where can he be defeated overnight? Once dragged into the quagmire of the Great War, what should I do if I can't get out?
As a result, Zhu Henghe proposed two plans that were diametrically opposed to Zhu Yonghao:
The first is to make a strategic retreat first, and wait and see whether the Yan'an army will really rescue or fake the capital before deciding the next step. The second is to abandon the capital, retreat to the Liaojiang River, use the Liaojiang River as a base, and start to rearrange the land from encroaching on the Gyeonggi land......
Disagreement, just like that, came out.
Zhu Henghe's proposition is to retreat, but if he retreats to Liaojiang, won't he become a real anti-king? It's still the kind controlled by Zhu Henghe! Where is Zhu Yonghao, who has been planning for many years, willing!
He didn't say yes!
In this way, the two sides reached a stalemate.
Time is also passing little by little.
Zhu Henghe fought in the end to control the military power, and ordered the main army and the defenders of the city gates to retreat five miles and wait and see.
However, as soon as the news was sent, there was an urgent report: "Lord Wang, it's not good." Dongzhimen, we were secretly attacked, and the forbidden army has reached Andingmen! ”
The two of them were stunned, what do you mean? What does it mean to hit Andingmen? Forbidden Army...... Out of town?
……
After Zhu Chengyi's victory on the side of Deshengmen, as soon as the city gate was closed, all the troops began to move to Dongzhimen.
The speed of moving around the city is much faster than the rebels who go around the city walls.
When Zhu Yonghao's rebel army had just arrived at Deshengmen and shouted, most of the actual defenders had already taken up positions at Dongzhimen.
At that time, the main forces of the Dongzhimen anti-army were all transferred, and it was a time of emptiness.
When the two anti-kings were disagreeing on the next step, it was when the defenders of Dongzhimen were attacking with all their might.
The defenders were concentrated, and with the cooperation of more than 20,000 archers on the city wall, the rebels outside Dongzhi Gate, who numbered less than 10,000, scattered and fled without any resistance.
And this time, Dongzhi Gate was not immediately closed.
More than 20,000 defenders poured out in a tide, and pursued the rebels who fled north, intending to merge with Zhu Yonghao's main force.
When the rebels fled to the vicinity of Andingmen, they were also wide open.
A full 10,000 defenders poured out of Andingmen, directly blocking the way of this group of rebels.
In this way, almost most of the defenders in Beijing gathered here and surrounded this group of rebels.
At this time, there were 50,000 militiamen pouring out of the city, and they blocked several roads to the east and north to the direction of the Liaojiang River near Andingmen, directly forming a semicircle.
There is strength in numbers, they come quickly, and they go faster. As soon as the task was completed, he retracted into the Anding Gate again......
When the two anti-kings received the news of Dongzhimen, they hurriedly came to answer, intending to quickly shrink in the direction of the Liaojiang River after receiving the people, but only then did they find that they were blocked at the intersection of only one mile away from Andingmen.
On the road ahead, there were almost dozens of zhang long, half-man-high large crossbars, and for a while, the horses failed to rush up. The rebels here were about to pull their horses and jump onto the horizontal pile, but they seemed to smell a less wonderful smell. Seemingly, is the oil?
Sure enough, in an instant, arrows rained down on the walls.
Naturally, each arrow was lit on fire with a tarpaulin.
The beams were ignited in an instant, forming a wall of fire that blocked their way.
And the most hateful thing is that they can clearly see that behind the wall of fire, clusters of signal flares are lighting up in the sky above Andingmen not far away, which are all the distress signals of their Liaojiang soldiers.
They could clearly hear the clashing of swords and the shouting and wailing of their brothers with Liaojiang accents.
It's just a mile away!
It's just such a wall of fire!
It is clear that they are more numerous, and their strength is stronger, however, they just can't get there in time, they just can't rescue people! It's just for them to watch, and there's nothing they can do.
It's a terrible feeling.
Aggrieved, angry.
At this moment, even if they can go around far, I am afraid that it will be too late to rescue.
And they didn't know that the defenders were just trying to hold them back, so that they could only be trapped in this vicinity for a while and could not evacuate easily.
The defenders are forcing them to confront the approaching Yan'an army head-on!
It's clear that they don't even plan to leave them a back road!
"Zhu-Cheng-Yi!" Zhu Yonghao gritted his teeth at the name again......
Zhu Henghe's face turned even darker.
There is a wall of fire in front, and there is Yan Anjun in the back.
The side is to prevent the sneak attack of the city wall, and you can't get too close to the city wall!
And the bad thing is that they have just given the order to retreat. The Liaojiang soldiers of the other gates didn't know the situation here. If they retreat in the direction of Dongzhimen, they will definitely encounter the forbidden army. If they retreat in the direction of Xizhimen and Deshengmen, they will just be bumped into by the Yan'an army.
And the reason why Zhu Chengyi and the defenders created a wall of fire is probably because they want to wait for the rabbits, and wait for the Liaojiang soldiers of the other gates to bump into them in batches, and plan to break the scattered armies one by one first, right?
Hateful!
If Zhu Chengyi really had such intentions, wouldn't that mean that the brothers of the other sects had already set foot on the road to death? And the people who can be used by themselves, aren't they just the more than 60,000 people who remain around at the moment?
Zhu Henghe was so angry that his liver hurt, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhu Yonghao fiercely. Let's just say that the situation is not good, and we have to retreat, right? If it weren't for the fact that this idiot had wasted a lot of time arguing with himself, how could he be in such a precarious situation at this moment? ……
Zhu Henghe's anxiety is indeed what Zhu Chengyi wants.
If the troops are insufficient, the best way is naturally to break them one by one.
Just because of the Nine Gates, the number of rebels was dispersed.
Therefore, Zhu Chengyi's original intention was to leave the main force of the rebel army to his father, and he planned to take advantage of this time to take the elite soldiers in Beijing to spend some time and physical strength to clean up the rebels first.
As long as Zhu Yonghao's troops can't be concentrated, the number of troops that are about the same as the strength of Yan'an's army will be about the same. Yan Anjun is brave and good at fighting, why be afraid of them?
If you really can't fight, it's a matter of delay!
Therefore, at this moment, Zhu Chengyi, after destroying the Andingmen rebels, personally commanded people to guard the northeast corner of the city wall outside the capital. Knowing that the rebels had no chance to attack the city, the elite defenders of the capital had already turned against the guests, and they went out of the city one after another, intending to take the initiative to meet the battle.
There were 40,000 people, forming a net, calling the anti-army who "evacuated" according to the signal to come and plant a group!
Most of the 30,000 rebels were wiped out in a blink of an eye.
The situation has long been reversed, and it is the forces of Beijing that have launched the pursuit, but the rebels have not been able to find their main force and the two "princes" in the middle of the rat rush.
Compared with the defenders in Beijing, they relied on the flexible scheduling and opening and closing of the city gates, and soon let these remaining rebels take the initiative to put down their weapons and beg for mercy in the encirclement and interception. Many of them have long since wanted to fight, and they want to go home......
At this time, Yan Anjun was also in position near Andingmen.
The two armies approached the city and faced each other.
With a flash of inspiration in Zhu Henghe's mind, he raised his neck.
