The southern army was overjoyed, and Qu Neng led the army to personally rush to Zhangye Gate, and all the soldiers around him joined the siege battle.

The soldiers in the army immediately went to inform Li Jinglong about the breaking of Zhangye Gate, and asked him to quickly deploy troops to attack Zhangye Gate.

Cheng Yuan comforted the panicked Yan Jun: "As long as we don't die, they can't rush in, fight to the death with the southern army, kill!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The Yan army knew the danger of breaking the city, brandished their knives in an orderly manner, raised their guns, and did not dare to stop, they used their lives to besiege a human wall in front of Zhangye Gate.

The snow and ice were immediately soaked with blood, Cheng Yuan transferred troops to block, and then ran to the city tower, Xu immediately hurriedly met with Cheng Yuan, and they also learned about the breaking of Zhangye's door.

Zhu Gaochi's pace also accelerated, and they were not followed by the Yan army, but the chaotic and unformed city citizens, and some peasant men who had been temporarily assembled.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the southern army has been freezing and starving for the past few days, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened, don't be afraid, hold Zhangye Gate, and we can win."

Princess Yan Xu had blood on her face, her hair was scattered, she grabbed the weapon in her hand and said: "Cheng Yuan, Zhangye's door is broken, the thing I promised my husband has not been done, I may not be able to wait for him to come back to help." ”

The Xu family is also a descendant of Xu Da, she followed a few sons of the Xu family, and she also had a hand in the war, and this time she panicked when she saw that Zhangye's door had been broken.

"Princess, if there is no city gate, we will form a human wall to guard it, and we will resist even if we die." Cheng Yuan encouraged her.

Xu gritted her teeth, Ming's armor could no longer see the color, she carried a spear, looked at the Yan army who was fighting to the death below, didn't care about wiping the tears on her face, and immediately organized the people on the city wall to defend.

The tears and blood on her face mixed together and ran down her cheeks, and Cheng Yuan patted her on the shoulder: "Princess, we will win." ”

After speaking, he ran down the city tower to fight with the southern army, and the Xu family also ran downstairs to meet the battle and resist the enemy army in Zhangyemen.

Cheng Yuan waved his double knives in his hands, and rushed forward with the remaining Yan army.

Xu's "female students" also gritted their teeth and came to fight, and the soldiers who had been struggling to support saw Princess Yan and Cheng Yuan, and they also began to resist desperately.

Under the desperate rush to kill, the knife sank into the flesh and blood of those southern troops, and invisibly killed the enemy troops who rushed into the Zhangye Gate Cave for several feet.

Qu Neng immediately led a few soldiers to start a counter-killing, and the farmer who went downstairs had never killed anyone with a knife on weekdays, so he also picked up the sword on the ground and slashed at it.

The old and weak women and children had no weapons, so they leaned over and smashed the snow and ice head-on, like a group of fierce beasts, frantically fighting against the southern army.

Zhu Gaochi also ran down at this moment, and after Cheng Yuan repelled a few southern troops, he turned his head and said: "Shizi, don't come over, retreat to the inner city immediately, once the outer city is not protected, you will hold the inner city, and wait for the prince and them to come back to save you." ”

"No, even if you retreat into the inner city, sir, you have to retreat with us, it is impossible for me Zhu Gaochi to leave you behind and escape alone."

Zhu Gaochi's fat body was also unbalanced under his feet, he screamed, and the whole person flew out very far, and fell on the snow with his back facing the sky.

I couldn't climb up, and I slipped and circled in the snow, which was very embarrassing.

"Gao Chi!" Xu Shi turned back anxiously, looking at his son who fell to the ground, his eyes were full of heartache.

Zhu Gaochi said: "Mother, I'm fine, I'm fine...... Oops. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he fell down again.

Xu had tears in his eyes at the moment, gritted his teeth and rushed into the fight with the Southern Army, Zhu Gaochi patted the snow on his back, and limped to ask for help.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't care about being funny, and ran to the inner city, he wanted to ask for reinforcements.

After running in the snow for a short time, Zhu Gaochi waved his hand happily and looked at the people and horses rushing out of the inner city.

There was hope in his eyes again.

Not far away, Da Yu'er carried her Mongolian knife and led a team of guards to gallop forward, and the horses' hooves kicked up several feet of snow foam.

After Da Yuer and the others heard that Zhangye Gate was lost, they immediately obeyed Geng Bingwen's dispatch and took Qiu Fu and them to gallop on horseback.

"Prince of Yan!"

"Miss Yu'er, General Qiu!"

Zhu Gaochi was so anxious that he shouted: "My mother and Mr. Cheng are already fighting with the Southern Army at the door, go and rescue them." ”

Da Yuer raised the horsewhip: "Yes!" The prince, please go back to the inner city and wait. ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded, his best way at the moment was to go back to the inner city and not cause trouble to the Yan soldiers.

Qiufu and they immediately went to help.

Cheng Yuan's face was covered with blood at this moment, he screamed, fought, and quickly ordered people to throw the corpses of the southern army together, and build a wall with snow and ice.

The weather was very cold, and the snow melted slightly when it touched the human body, and then froze again, barely blocking the temporary passage of the Southern army.

Cheng Yuan had already torn off his wide robe, and the two big knives were waved like the wind, and Da Yu'er rushed over and said, "Cheng is in charge, let's do it together." ”

Qiu Fu also came to assist Xu.

Qu Neng suppressed the psychology of the Yan army while killing in the crowd, and scolded: "You are doomed, as soon as our army arrives, we will immediately raze Beiping City to the ground." ”

Cheng Yuan said: "Come on, who is afraid of whom!" ”

"Our soldiers in Beiping Mansion will die together!"

"If you want to die, you have to die together!"

A few Mongol guards, two women, and two men, led those civilians who had no combat experience to resist the southern army.

"Pour out the snow and pour the water up." The peasants kept shoveling up the snow with shovels and raising it on the faces of the Southern Army.

Their eyes will be blinded by the snow foam, and they will wield their weapons indiscriminately.

The other farmers picked up hoes and gave them a flower, and the blood was red, and in this way, a few people cooperated, and also killed several Southern troops.

Qu Neng and a few of his subordinates were forced into the city gate.

Cheng Yuan said: "Yu'er, Qiu Fu, you hold on first, I have a plan to delay." ”

"Yes! into a steward. Qiu Fu shouted.

Soon after, Cheng Yuan asked people to carry a lot of firewood and a few jars of fire oil.

"Yan Jun retreated, stepped back." Cheng Yuan shouted and threw the firewood rack into the doorway.

Qu Neng only thought that they had no bricks and stones, and used firewood as a city gate, and they were a little proud.

But soon he felt that something was wrong.

Then a lot of fire oil fell from the air and on the firewood, and some of the fire oil was splashed on the body of the Southern Army.

Immediately after a few bundles of firewood, the oil continued to be poured on, and Cheng Yuan shouted: "Stand back, all stand back." ”

When he had finished speaking, he threw the fire fold up, and the flames went up with a bang.

Cheng Yuan burned firewood with fire oil and lit it in the door of Zhangye Gate, so that the fire was so strong that they could not come over.

It turned out that when he was in the barracks, Cheng Yuan heard Zhu Di say that he was trapped by the wall of fire that time, and immediately thought of this.

The fire will be extinguished, but it will be as long as it can resist, buy them time.

If someone jumped from the fire in the doorway, the Yan army immediately moved at the moment when the southern army pounced.

The flames engulfed the city gate, rushing into the air, unable to cross for a while, Qu Neng immediately ordered someone to go outside to carry snow blocks to extinguish the fire.

Later, several peasant households brought a lot of wall bricks from the city, brought cold water, some held the bricks, some carried the bricks, and came to the city gate together.
