"Fuck it." Zhu Neng didn't seem to be able to hold on, so without saying a word, he turned around and went down to the city.

He ordered all the cavalry, gave an order, opened the city gate, ignored Guo Liang, boomed, and rushed out with a large force of iron horses.

On the other side, Zhu Gaoxu had been guarding against them early, and when he saw the city gate open, he also waved his flag, and more soldiers and horses rushed over.

Zhu Neng regretted it after rushing out with his troops, and the front was all blocked by dense cars, forming a natural low wall.

A large number of officers and soldiers stood behind the cart.

As soon as the cavalry entered within sixty paces, it swished, and a dense rain of arrows flew over like rain on the opposite side.

While resisting the rain of arrows, he hoped that Guo Liang behind him would be able to blast away these cars with a cannon.

However, there are also sandbags piled up on the official and military trucks, and even if the cars are broken, the sandbags will still pile up on the ground, forming obstacles, not to mention the layers of sandbags behind them.

Before the cavalry could rush to the front of the chariot, they had already suffered many casualties, and Zhu Neng ordered to shoot arrows in the direction of the trebuchet.

But it is not easy to shoot a trebuchet with an arrow.

The two sides fired at each other for a while, but Zhu Neng's cavalry could not rush through the chariot, and even if someone dismounted and fought on foot, they would only be beaten back by more officers and soldiers.

At this time, the trebuchet of the official army suddenly stopped throwing, and Zhu Neng looked back and saw that he almost fell off the horse.

Guo Liang had already raised the white flag at the head of the city, and the city gate was slowly closing.

At this time, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the officers and soldiers from other directions were pushing the carts around them.

Zhu Neng was frightened and frightened and led people to rush left and right, with no way out at all, and soon some cavalry jumped off their horses and surrendered to the officers and soldiers.

Half an hour later, Zhu Neng led dozens of henchmen and soldiers and was heavily surrounded.

"Phew" He was covered in blood, and at least a dozen arrows were stuck in his body, and many arrows had already been broken by him.

He spat heavily on the ground and scolded: "Zhu Gaoxu will only use these shameless methods, is there a kind of one-on-one with Lao Tzu?" ”

In front of him were all carts, one by one, and there were several rows, and behind each row were archers, crossbowmen, and pikemen.

In later generations, Jin Bing's trick was used by Zhu Gaoxu and took off coolly.

After surrounding the cavalry with a chariot, it is almost impossible to kill unless you fly out with wings.

"Chengguo Gong, it's better to come down." A confidant who had followed him for many years whispered at this time.

"Bastard." Zhu Neng grabbed his collar with one hand and glared at him fiercely.

The other party did not dare to look at him, and lowered his eyes to look at the horse's back.

Zhu Neng stared at it for a moment, but still put down his hand and sighed: "You want to surrender, now and in the past, I will not be sorry for Your Majesty." ”

Listen to the generals, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end no one passes.

"Okay, I can't live together, I die with my brothers, rush." Zhu Neng shouted frantically and rushed forward with the only remaining dozens of horses.

At this time, the opposite side did not let go of the arrows, and let them rush to the front of the cart.

Whoosh, dense spears stabbed forward, and from time to time a few short knives and spears flew out.

Zhu Neng and them landed one after another like dumplings.

In the blink of an eye, there was no one at the scene who could stand up.

When Zhu Neng fell, he was stabbed several times in his body, and his body was full of various holes.

Special mother, the moment his eyes were closed, he suddenly regretted a little, maybe he should have supported Zhu Gaoxu as the crown prince.

At the beginning of November, Zhu Gaoxu broke Yongping, killed Zhu Neng, and Guo Liang raised troops to surrender.

At the end of October, Qu Neng and Sheng Yong broke Taiyuan and captured Zhang Wu alive.

At the beginning of October, Qu Neng, Sheng Yong, and Ping'an led an army of 300,000 from Shanxi into Hebei, surrounded Baoding, and Chen Zhixian surrendered to Baoding.

Two days later, Zhu Gaoxu's troops came to Shanhaiguan, Zheng Heng and Chen Qi raised troops to surrender, and Zhu Gaoxu stayed with Gu Xingguo and Yang Lei to guard Shanhaiguan and returned to Jizhou.

It turned out that Jizhou had no soldiers, Wang Cong retreated to Tongzhou with 10,000 defenders, and joined forces with Huo Zhen and Fang Sheng, wanting to keep warm.

Almost at the same time, Zhu Di's cargo was similar to the time of Jingjing, and he led 50,000 elite horsemen to raid Tianjin, wanting to burn the official ships in the Weihe River in Tianjin.

Unexpectedly, he was beaten by the artillery on the ship, and the officers and soldiers on both sides of the Wei River were guarded by the camp, and Zhu Di let people fight desperately into a road, and after entering, there were ditches and walls everywhere, and they were also defeated and returned.

But this is also a ruthless person, leading more than 40,000 remnants of soldiers to retreat to the vicinity of Xianghe County and hide.

In early November, Zhu Gaoxu crossed the river from the Lu River with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and as soon as the front had passed about 20,000 men, the sentry cavalry crossing the river hurriedly returned to report that they had found a large number of enemy troops.

"It seems that Zhu Di is still leading the troops." Sentry riding road, see the dragon flag.

"Ha, how dare you come out to fight? Good. Zhu Gaoxu didn't say a word, took the horse lance from behind, thought about it, and put it down again.

"Let's go, I'll meet Zhu Di."

Zhu Di raided again, this time he brought the elite of the Northern Army, and finally seized the opportunity of the official army to fight in the field, and rushed over desperately.

The two sides met on the south bank of the Lu River and immediately fought.

Although Zhu Di was a surprise attack, Zhu Gaoxu had more soldiers and horses, and he stabilized the front formation on the one hand, and the rear formation continued to cross the river to support.

Zhu Di is relatively fierce, but now his soldiers and horses are really demoralized, not to mention that he has just been defeated in Tianjin.

The morale of the officers and soldiers is like a rainbow, one after another, fighting against the river, but the more they fight, the more courageous they become.

When it was almost dark, there were more than 50,000 officers and troops crossing the river, and at this time, Huo Zhen and Fang Sheng from Tongzhou also heard about it, and the rebels reached 70,000, and once again the strength of the army had the upper hand.

But there are many infantry battalions in the official army, and the lineup is strict and the morale is high, but Zhu Di still can't break it.

Seeing that the two sides were at a stalemate, suddenly a huge cold wind began to blow in the sky.

Zhu Di was overjoyed, thinking that it was the same as Jing Nanzhong, and God was going to help him again.

Unexpectedly, this time the wind blew on the rebels' side, and then hail fell.

The hail fell on both sides, but the soldiers and horses brought out by Zhu Gaoxu were the elite of the elite, and most of the forwards were trained by the queue in Yunnan, and they were strictly disciplined, and the rain and hail did not move.

Even if you are hard to hail, you can still rush forward.

Zhu Di's soldiers and horses were not good, they were originally facing the wind, and then they were hit by hail, and they were suddenly defeated.

Zhu Di's soldiers and horses lost their armor and ran all the way back to Beiping from the Luhe River, but Huo Zhen and Fang Sheng didn't dare to go back to Tongzhou, and ran back to Beiping directly.

After returning to Beiping, Zhu Di inspected the troops and horses, and only more than 40,000 of the 70,000 troops remained.

The rest either surrendered or ran away.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about him, and the whole army went to Changping.

Zhu Di waited for Zhu Gaoxu to leave, and wanted to go back to the army to fight back to Tongzhou, but Tongzhou is now guarded by Wang You and Guo Liang, there are not many soldiers and horses inside, only 10,000, all of them are Zhu Gaoxu's people, and Guo Liang has only one person to help Wang You inside.

Zhu Di couldn't do Zhu Gaoxu in the field, and even more so in the siege, so he hurriedly played a round and had to retreat to Beiping.

On November 10, Zhu Gaoxu broke Changping and captured Tan Zhong alive.

At this time, Hou Zhu Gaoxu returned to the army again, and at the same time, Qu Neng and Sheng Yongbing also arrived, and the two sides joined forces.

In the middle of November of the first year of Hongxi, Zhu Gaoxu, Qu Neng, and Sheng Yong, with a total of 500,000 troops, all came to Beiping City, and surrounded the three outer layers of Beiping City.

At this time, the morale in the city was low, and it was far from when Li Jinglong led an army of 500,000 to besiege the city before.

After Zhu Gaoxu surrounded Beiping, the archery book demanded that Xue Lu, Liu Rong, Jin Zhong, and Tan Zhong, who had been arrested before, including Zhang Wu and others who had just been caught, be exchanged for the families of a large number of generals who had surrendered and rebelled before.

Zhu Di originally didn't want to change, and wanted to kill these family members who had already surrendered to vent their anger, but at this point, doing this kind of thing would make his subordinates deviate from morality, and Liu Rong's family members were also in Beiping City, under Yao Guangxiao's suggestion, Zhu Di compromised and exchanged.

November 14th.

The Wuying Hall in the Imperial City of Beiping.

The construction of the imperial city of Beiping was stopped after about one-tenth of the repair, and it happened that the Wuying Hall was repaired, and the construction around the Wuying Hall had not yet started.

Zhu Di sat in the middle with a gloomy face, and on both sides were the only remaining close confidants.

At this time, in Beiping City, civil officials include Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yao Guangxiao, Yuan Hui, Jin Zhong, Guo Zi, and military generals Qiu Fu, Xue Lu, Liu Rong, Huo Zhen, Wang Cong, Tan Qing, Tan Zhong, Fang Sheng, Xu Li, Fang Kuan, Tang Rong, Zhang Wu, etc., and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the third son Zhu Gaosui are here.

There was a gloomy atmosphere in the main hall, and everyone was thinking about their hearts.

In the past, when Beiping was besieged, they still had the confidence to insist, because there was Zhu Di outside, and now even Zhu Di is surrounded here, and the territory outside has been lost.

Now the entire Ming Dynasty, except for Beiping, has all descended to Zhu Gaoxu.

Although Zhu Di still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, and most of them are the confidants and old brothers of the earliest Yanshan Three Guards, no one dares to determine how many fighting intentions these soldiers and horses have.

"How much grain is left in the city?" Zhu Di asked at this time.

Guo Zi thought for a moment and whispered: "Back to Your Majesty, there are still 100,000 stones." ”

This is considered an official grain stockpile, not a private stockpile.

But there are quite a few official people, only the army has 40,000 or 50,000 people, as well as the families of military guards, and a large number of ordinary people.

It won't last long on this little food.

Now Zhu Gaoxu doesn't need to worry about someone outside coming to save Zhu Di, he can surround Beiping City for a year and a half.

Yao Guangxiao said: "It is impossible for Zhu Gaoxu to surround for a year and a half, it is not easy for him to transport grain from the south of the Yangtze River, the 500,000 army, the daily consumption is a terrifying number." ”

And recently, he has also collected more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, all of which are raised by Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Di didn't think about this, he was thinking, what should he do after Zhu Gaoxu's soldiers and horses retreated in the spring?

It's not easy to fight back.

He is now more uncomfortable than Jingnan, he has lost almost all of his territory, and if he wants territory in the future, it is equivalent to fighting down one city after another.

Go to the outside of the plug? Take the people and horses to the outside of the plug?

Zhu Di suddenly had a big brain and thought of this question.

If it's really impossible to go south, why don't you flee?

If you can't beat this rebel, it's okay to beat the Mongols?

The point is, how many people are willing to follow?

This goods is also a very thick-skinned person, he didn't discuss anything that day, mainly arranged the city defense, and then waited for the people to disperse, he recruited Yao Guangxiao and Yuan Heng to discuss secretly and prepare the way back.

Then they were ready to go down with the officers and soldiers.

The official army really did not attack the city, and they were doing fortifications under the city every day, and the mascot Li Jinglong often rode a horse around the city, and Zhu Di was angry when he saw it.

He knew that the rebel son deliberately humiliated him, and on the day of the city break, he still had to let Li Jinglong lead the troops, which was simply a great humiliation for him Zhu Di, because the history books of later generations would definitely write like this, in a certain year, Li Jinglong led the troops, recaptured Beiping, and captured the thief Zhu Di alive.

and then degraded Zhu Di to uselessness, not as good as Li Jiujiang's waste.

This little animal, Zhu Di cursed Zhu Gaoxu dozens of times in the house every day.
