From morning to evening, Yang Yiqing has not been idle, although he is the secretary of the military department, but at this time, his power is almost zero, and the right to transfer troops in the military department is not as good as the right of the generals to command the troops at this moment, and the so-called current officials are not as good as the current management is a true portrayal of this time.

The old and the new alternated, and the two major forces began to fight, and the decisive role was played by the people who held the military power, and in the case of lawlessness, any so-called orders from the upper officials were a dead letter.

But Yang Yiqing can't stand by and watch, the holy decree issued in the name of Zhengde to alternate the duties of guarding the soldiers and horses in Beijing is naturally suspicious, the foreign army entered the city with a hula, and the regiment and battalion were ordered to stay in the camp and not be allowed to act, which itself is unreasonable; However, it was a holy decree issued by the emperor from the palace, and even if there was any suspicion, it was difficult to inquire in person because he could not see the emperor.

When the news of Song Nan's entry into Beijing reached Yang Yiqing's ears, Yang Yiqing knew that a storm was coming. He didn't even have a chance to meet Song Nan, and this battle began like thunder. Zhang Lun's soldiers and horses, Jinyiwei's soldiers and horses participated in it Yang Yiqing was not surprised at all, but from his point of view, this time the outcome was unpredictable, because Yang Tinghe had already arranged, and the number of soldiers and horses in the foreign army was also more, and the army in Song Nan's hands was outside, and it was difficult to quench the thirst of the distant water, and it was full of variables.

Yang Yiqing hated that he was not a secretary of the military department at this time, but just a regimental and battalion marquis who led the army, so that he could lead the army to participate in it without hesitation; He understood that these marquis were all people who looked out for the wind and the rudder, and if the shape was unclear, they would not go out at all; Once the shape is clear, it is very likely that your side will fail.

So Yang Yiqing had to become a lobbyist, abandoning his identity as a secretary of the military department, and since the afternoon, he has been shuttling and lobbying in several regimental camps, but unfortunately most of the Hou Ye have clever tricks, either accidentally missed it, or did not see anyone at all, in short, he avoided it.

Yang Yiqing gritted his teeth, and simply sat in the two camps of Guo Yongyong and did not leave, waiting for the arrival of the two marquis, the reason why he chose to persuade these two people, Yang Yiqing had his own considerations; These two people were very close to Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, which was the reason Yang Yiqing used to persuade them, Yang Yiqing wanted to sue them, they were already in a precarious position in the regimental camp, and if they didn't show it this time, they would have no place in the future.

At the same time, Yang Yiqing had to brag about Song Nan in front of others for the first time in his life, and he informed the two Hou Masters of Song Nan's big and small battles in the northwest, strategy and command, with the intention of letting the two Hou Ye understand that Song Nan would never fail this time, and reminded them that helping Song Nan earlier would give them more credit and affection. At the same time, taking this step ahead of other princes is the key to the future meritorious service.

The two marquis hid for a long time, and finally couldn't help showing up, and they were also a little tempted under the clamor of Yang Yiqing's incorruptible tongue, plus the sentinel they sent reported that the battle situation in Zhengyangmen seemed to be about to be reversed, and the two finally made up their minds, so there was the scene that Liang Chu saw.

Although sending troops at this time is already the icing on the cake, it will still play a decisive role in the rapid calming of the situation.

This was quickly proven by the facts.

……

After the collapse of the Zhengyangmen city wall, Zhang Lun led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Shenji Battalion of the Fenwu Battalion to immediately launch a ferocious attack on the pass area, when the city wall is no longer an obstacle, the gap between the combat power of the two sides is obvious, although the number of regiments and battalions after rectification is less, but the ability of the equipment and weapons personnel has gone up to a level, and the old soldiers of the past are very different.

What's more, the first battalion of the regimental battalion held by Zhang Lun in his hand, and the Shenji battalion with more than 2,000 bird guns and single-barreled firearms, its lethality can be imagined in close combat. Not to mention that there are eight. Nine hundred Jinyi guards guarded the battalion, and thousands of Jinyi guards from thousands of households in the outer city helped each other.

Although Zhang Wei ordered his soldiers and horses to fight to block the mouth of the collapsed city wall, and thousands of archers also poured dense arrow rain into the open space in front of the gap, they were still unable to stop the charge of Zhang Lun and the Jinyi guards and horses, and soon hundreds of soldiers climbed onto the ruins of the collapsed city wall and began hand-to-hand combat with foreign troops.

At the same time, outside the Daming Gate, Tan You led the foreign army on the 5,000 square to begin to storm the palace gate, if no reinforcements arrived, then the capture of Song Nan was the last straw, originally planned to draw troops and horses to attack the East and West Huamen after dark, but also the collapse of the Zhengyangmen city wall and disrupted the plan, at this moment can only attack from the main gate of the Daming Gate.

Song Nan personally sent Kang Ning back to the palace, and when he turned around and rushed to Daming Gate, it was already a burning war, Wang Yong and Wan Zhi's commander Jinyi Wei Dahan generals relied on the protection of the battlements, and the firearms were fought down in rows, leaving the swarming foreign soldiers and horses under the root of the imperial city; The remaining more than 2,000 brocade guards and horses were led by Sun Xuan and Hou Dabiao to each lead 1,000, stationed on the narrow city wall on the east and west sides of the Daming Gate, they had no firearms, and could only use a small number of bows and arrows to snipe the foreign soldiers and horses that attacked the city wall.

At the beginning, the firepower of the Jinyi Wei firearm occupied an absolute advantage, and the foreign troops attacking head-on suffered heavy casualties, and they were repelled by dense firepower without even touching the Daming Gate twenty steps away, but the limitations of the firearm gradually became prominent, and the need to kill at close range often made the opponent rush closer, increasing the possibility of the opponent rushing into the dead corner under the root of the imperial city; Another fatal problem is the problem of ammunition, the Han general's camp is equipped with a lot of firearms, but the amount of ammunition is limited, Song Nan gave Jinyiwei the Han general's camp with 100 rounds of ammunition per person, originally to quickly quell the rebellion in the palace, that amount is enough, but at this moment, it is facing a large-scale attack, and after the consumption of the previous battle of the Heart Cultivation Palace, the ammunition is simply not enough.

This cannot be blamed for the lack of preparation, the current production capacity in the arsenal is actually very low, and at the same time it is impossible to manufacture several types of firearms, double-barreled firearms, multiple rocket launchers, grenades, mines, all kinds of shells and ammunition. What's more, Song Nan led the army to quell the rebellion before, and most of the ammunition was given priority to the army to quell the rebellion, and it was impossible to give the Han general's camp spare ammunition.

If it weren't for Song Nan's long-term thinking before the expedition, worried that someone would be playing tricks behind his back, and he would not have much strength in the capital to stop emergencies after he went out with soldiers and horses, he would not even have given the Han general's camp a firecracker.

Half an hour after the battle, the flag schools of the Han General Camp suddenly found that the ammunition was not enough, and the previous shooting was so hot that once the ammunition was exhausted, the fire gun in his hand became a burning stick and was useless.

After paying the price of more than 1,000 casualties, at the main gate of Zhengyang Gate, the foreign soldiers and horses finally attacked the city, and the Jinyi guards didn't even have stones and wood to throw down, they could only watch the foreign soldiers hit the city gate with giant trees, waiting for the moment when the palace gate was breached.

Song Nan looked at this qiē quietly, looked at the direction of Zhengyangmen, the fire was soaring there, obviously the war was in full swing, and it was impractical to wait for Zhang Lun's arrival, or that sentence, a qiē here can only rely on himself.

"Wan Zhi, Wang Yong, Hou Dabiao, and Sun Xuan listen to orders." Song Nan shouted loudly.

The four of them shouted in unison: "Humble duty." ”

"Remove all the Jinyi Wei brothers from the city wall, and set up a position behind the Daming Gate, the long road from the Daming Gate to the Noon Gate is the burial place of the foreign army, they can break through the city gate, but I want them to pay a huge price for every step towards the Noon Gate."

"Inferior obedience."

As everyone knows, this order is the last order of hand-to-hand combat, the narrow royal road leading from the Daming Gate to the Noon Gate is the battlefield of both sides, Song Nan is going to use flesh and blood to block foreign troops from entering the palace in this narrow area, and the battle has reached the most cruel time.

Tan You roared loudly with red eyes: "Knock open the city gate, add a few more people, and hit me." Haven't you had enough to eat? Use all the strength to feed Lao Tzu. ”

"Bang bang bang!" The huge crashing sound was like a crash in everyone's heart, and the battle between the two sides suddenly came to an end at this moment, none of the defenders on the city head were gone, and the foreign troops outside no longer fired arrows at the city head, everyone stared at the city gate, watching the city gate be smashed and cracked, and even collapsed with a bang.

The gate of the Daming Gate collapsed, after the dust and sawdust, both sides saw each other through the broken city gate, on the road inside the city gate, thousands of brocade guards held torches like clay wood carving statues waiting in line, the front of the team Song Nan was in the center, and the left and right sides were Wanzhi Wang Yong, Sun Xuanhou Dabiao, Song Nan crossed his legs, and the five-clawed golden dragon python robe on his body had been taken off, revealing a tight small back, and the scarlet cloak was as bright red as blood in the firelight.

"Zhenguo Gong, you are known as the god of the Ming Army, I Tan You have not been very blessed, when the Beijing camp was in the big competition, I asked to join it to compete with you, but unfortunately I was rejected; Today, someone Tan is fortunate to be able to finally compete with you, and let someone Tan see if you, the god of the Ming army, are genuine. ”

Tan You held a giant axe in his hand, his voice was as cold as winter ice, his weapon had not been used for many years, and he was equipped with a sword on weekdays, and few people knew that his weapon was this big axe about seven feet long and weighing more than forty catties.

Song Nan smiled and said: "Many people don't believe that others are more capable than themselves, and Marquis Tan is not exempt from vulgarity, you want to prove yourself, it's understandable." I was going to say that you weren't qualified, but it seems that even if you weren't qualified, I had to give you this opportunity today. Tan Houye, there seem to be many opportunities in life, but in fact, there is only one critical opportunity, your opportunity is at this time, if you can't seize this opportunity, you will never have a chance. ”

Tan You laughed and said: "Zhenguo Gong is quick to talk, I admit that I don't have your Zhenguo Gong's fame and fame, but this doesn't mean that I will lose to you; You said that people need opportunities, I agree, you just have more opportunities than me, if I Tan You can have so many opportunities for you, I am confident that I will not do worse than you. ”

Song Nan nodded and said, "So, come on, the opportunity is in front of you." ”

Tan You's face turned cold, and suddenly the muscles on his face began to distort, and he opened his mouth to let out a terrible shout: "Kill ......!" ”

"Kill!" The four thousand soldiers and horses of the foreign army roared in unison, Tan You dragged the big axe under his feet, he was in the prime of life at the age of forty, his steps were vigorous and steady, and he did not have the weakness of the pampered and the superior, under his leadership, hundreds of foreign soldiers followed him and rushed into the Daming Gate like a whirlwind, and in an instant, he was twenty steps away in front of Song Nan.

Dozens of flag schools who still had ammunition in the boring silently raised their firearms, Song Nan stared at Tan You who rushed and shouted: "Don't fire, I promised to give him this opportunity, I can't break my word." ”

Huo Gong silently hung down and returned to his waist, this qiē was in Tan You's eyes, Tan You shouted loudly: "Zhen Guogong, Tan has some admiration for you." ”

Song Nan Canglang pulled out the embroidered spring knife, the long thin blade flashed under the torch, and laughed loudly: "You will admire me even more later." Kill! ”

With Song Nan's shout, the long knives of the Jinyi Guard Banner School burst out like a forest, shouting and rushing forward, the two teams of soldiers and horses collided together without any fancy fancy, just like two huge waves that came relatively well, at the junction of the intersection, red waves instantly appeared. The moment they met the enemy, each side killed and injured dozens of people, and blood splattered above the crowd, looking strange and terrifying in the firelight.

Between the Daming Gate and the noon gate that really entered the palace is a long corridor about 500 steps long and about 30 steps wide, and nearly 7,000 soldiers and horses are congested in this long corridor, just like a tiger and leopard being locked in a narrow cage, there is no possibility of escape, there is no room for maneuver, all the two sides can do is to kill each other, there is no other possibility. Every time you fall, another face will appear in front of you, and you have to continue to slaughter him, or he will not hesitate to cut off your neck.

This kind of fierce fighting in the narrow terrain is even more tragic than the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops in the wilderness, because there is fierce fighting everywhere, fighting everywhere, and there is no respite at all.

Even so, in such a small area, the soldiers and horses on both sides still left a small gap for Song Nan and Tan You, although Wang Yong and Wan Zhi tried their best to replace Song Nan and Tan You to kill, but the beast nature in Song Nan's blood has been ignited, and the adventure in his bones dominates Yiqiē, he resolutely refused Wang Yong and Wan Zhi's request, he wants to really give Tan You a chance.

This is also an opportunity for Song Nan to prove himself, abandon the advantage of crossing, then let this last adventure become his chance to nirvana, after today's pass, Song Nan can rest assured that he has become a real person of the Ming Dynasty, and the advantages brought by crossing.

The whirring sound of the big axe wheel in Tan You's hand, with a faint sound of wind and thunder when waving, Tan You has never left his martial arts for many years, even if he lives comfortably, lives in Gyeonggi, and has not led his troops to meet the enemy for more than ten years, but this person has always been ready to go out at any time to make meritorious contributions.

Many of the relatives of the Ming Dynasty are like Tan You, living an idle life on the surface, but secretly they have never relaxed, and once the opportunity comes, they can calmly seize the opportunity. It's a pity that there are always so few opportunities, which is one of the reasons why the relatives are becoming more and more decadent and decadent.

In Tan You's opinion, Song Nan is just a good brain and good luck, if you want to talk about face-to-face hand-to-hand combat, Tan You is confident that he can beat Song Nan eight at a time, so he doesn't leave a back hand at all, the big axe in his hand goes straight up and down, left and right, as long as he hits an axe, Song Nan will be killed. Tan You wanted to bully Song Nan with this oppressive slash and destroy Song Nan's fighting spirit from the momentum.

However, his wishful thinking failed, Song Nan is certainly not as weak as he imagined, now Song Nan has been trained in the battlefield for a long time, has been born and died several times, his body is strong, and his mental tenacity is very unimaginable. The thin boy in Ulzhou Mansion back then has now grown into a big man who stands up to the sky.

Although the face is still fair and handsome, there is no trace of childishness on this face, and the figure is still cultivated, but only the wives and concubines of the Song Mansion know that after Song Nan took off his clothes, the bulging muscles between his arms were as hard as iron, and it was the long-term military career and long-term exercise that made the once weak body strong and mighty.

Song Nan's figure is exactly the type that later generations said that 'dressed thin and undressed with flesh', but unfortunately the wives and concubines of the Song family are not traversal people, and they can't say this kind of incisive description, they will only caress the muscles on Song Nan's body after passion and exclaim addictively: "The husband is so strong!" In terms of the image of the description, it is very different from the praise of later generations.

Even so, Song Nan did not choose to fight with Tan You, just like his criteria for doing things for others, Song Nan will also choose a smarter way when fighting for life and death, his body moves in the storm of the giant axe, and the embroidered spring knife in his hand flies like a butterfly through a flower, never touching the giant axe; Find a gap in Tan You's body to cut a small opening, although Tan You is brave, but his bravery is not martial arts, but relying on strength and momentum to win, encountering Song Nan's hybrid fighting style of both some martial arts and some yoga body is like Xiucai encountering soldiers, tangled and upset.

After dozens of moves, Tan You already had more than a dozen blood grooves on his arms and thighs, and he was drenched in blood all over his body.

Tan You obviously knew this, and felt that the big axe in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, and it was no longer as easy as when he started to swing it, and now every time he cut out an axe, it was like a large part of the energy in his body had been drained, and his mouth opened unconsciously, making a heavy gasping sound.

"Give up, Marquis Tan, stop at this moment, or there is still hope for life, it is Yang Tinghe who is making trouble, not you Marquis Tan, at best you are just an accomplice, I will consider this, but you need to abandon the darkness and turn to the light immediately." Song Nan, who was moving, did not forget to hit Tan You's mind.

Tan You yelled and slashed out an axe, Song Nan dodged and pulled a knife on his calf.

"I know that the Zhengyang Gate is broken, and you are attacking the palace in order to take me down and reverse the situation, right? I don't blame you for being deceived by Yang Tinghe and others, but I sue you now, the emperor's edict is in my hands, and the edict in Yang Tinghe's hands is fake, if you don't surrender, you won't give yourself a chance. ”

"Shut up, if it's wrong, it's wrong, what if it's wrong? You think I'm going to take your word for it? With what you have done, will we be forgiven? That being the case, it is better to fight to the death. Tan You roared angrily, and the big axe in his hand slashed several times, forcing Song Nan to scramble.

Song Nan's face was cold, and he reprimanded: "Even if you know your mistakes, you will not repent of dying." Yes, I really won't spare you, because you have committed the taboo of the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and you are a great rebel, and you have no reason to be forgiven. But if you persist in your mistakes, it will not only be you who will die, but also your family and relatives, and you will die in exchange for the continuation of the bloodline, this is my forgiveness for you, you have to understand. ”

Tan You opened his mouth and laughed: "If I die, why do I leave my parents, wife and children in the world to be bullied and enslaved by you, wouldn't it be clean for them to die with me?" Besides, even if I die, I will pull you on my back, and you will never want to live in the world. ”

Tan You shouted suddenly, threw the big axe in his hand on the ground, pounced on his empty body like a big bird, and hugged Song Nan with both hands, his intention was obvious, to grab Song Nan's beating body, and kill Song Nan with his fists and kicks, and even in order to do so, he ignored Song Nan's horizontal slash.

With a poof, Song Nan's knife slashed Tan You's shoulder blades, Tan You roared and swung his shoulders, and actually pulled the embroidered spring knife cut on the bone away from Song Nan's palm, at the same time, his right hand had firmly grasped Song Nan's shoulder, and he pulled it vigorously in front of him, and his left hand clenched a fist the size of a wine jar, and turned it over according to Song Nan's temple.

Song Nan didn't expect him to come with this hand, so he hurriedly shrank his head to dodge the punch on his head, only to feel that the wind was blowing above his head, and this punch brushed his scalp. But Tan You then returned his fist and swung it towards the temple on the other side, Song Nan was restrained by his right hand grabbing his shoulder, and it was difficult for his body to dodge the action, so he jumped up half a foot in a hurry and resisted the punch with his shoulder. The moment the fist swung onto Song Nan's shoulder, it was obvious that a muffled sound could be heard, and Song Nan's body was smashed to the side by this punch like a paper kite, crushing the two soldiers who were fighting to the ground.

Tan You's body froze, looking down at the chest and abdomen, where the handle of a dagger was dripping blood outward, and at the moment when Song Nan flew away, he also saw how Song Nan pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it between his chest and abdomen, in that case, Song Nan made the most cost-effective act, resisting himself with a fist in his shoulder in exchange for a fatal knife in his chest and abdomen.

Song Nan's left shoulder hurt and couldn't move, his left arm hung down without any strength, he slowly got up from the ground and slowly walked towards Tan You; Tan You stood still, watching Song Nan's vague figure slowly approaching let out a long sigh, and his body slammed back and fell heavily to the ground.
