Fortunately, in this era, Xungui's family did not have wine bags and rice bags, and their children rushed up with their families to help the officers and soldiers stabilize their positions.

"Xiangye, retreat to the noon gate, this outer imperial city is too big, we can't defend it at all!" Seeing this, Xue Xiang hurriedly asked.

"No way!" Li Shanchang said categorically: "Even if we die, we can't let those untouchables defile the Forbidden City!" ”

As he spoke, he drew his sword, cut off a piece of his beard, and said, "Those who dare to retreat again have such a beard!" ”

"Whoa!" A group of officers and soldiers, noble children and family members responded violently, and immediately poured blood into their pupils!

The Ming military order is like a mountain, and those who retreat will definitely die, and it will also make the family suffer an indelible shame.

It's better to die in battle!

Then fight to the death!

The two sides were red-eyed at the head of the city, shouting and killing, screaming, metal impact, sharp blades entering the flesh, blood and flesh foam flew sideways, and the broken corpses kept falling inside and outside the Chengtian Gate......

~~

At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the two sides were still fighting.

Suddenly, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and a large group of cavalry swept along the heavenly street.

The thousands of horsemen were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were approaching, and the warring sides quickly saw their banners clearly.

"It's Fengyang Zuowei who is back!"

"And the right guard!" The morale of the defending side was boosted, and the exhaustion of the whole body was swept away!

But the offensive of the attacking side is also more violent. Seeing that there was no way to live, the people were completely open.

I was cheap, and I was pulled down when I died. And on the other side, each life is expensive, and they will not lose anything, and they will make a lot of money if they kill one.

They have no regard for their own lives or deaths, and even take the initiative to use their blades in exchange for the opportunity to hold the enemy and jump off the city. Even if you can't die together, you have to slash them to the death! If you don't have a weapon, you have to bite off a piece of meat with your mouth!

So the battle at the head of the city became more and more intense......

Outside the imperial city, it was a different scene, the cavalry of Fengyang's left and right guards, but the elite divisions that could drive the Mongols back to Mobei, they rode high-headed horses, tigers into the flock, rampage. They wielded their long knives fiercely and skillfully harvested the heads of the 'rebels', which was a complete one-sided slaughter.

In the blink of an eye, the heavenly street was full of the corpses of the Red Turban soldiers and the people, and the blood flowed all over the ground, gathering into a river, flowing into the deep moat......

Under this brutal one-sided massacre, the rebels finally could not support it anymore and broke down and fled in all directions......

The cavalry of the official army did not stop them, but only rushed back and forth along the moats to relieve the pressure on the defenders at the head of the city.

Without a steady stream of follow-up support, the rebels at the head of the city gradually could not support it, and were soon divided and surrounded, and then disappeared into the city like rolling soup and snow......

With the last Red Turban Army being picked off by Jiang Xiahou's son Zhou Ji with a spear, this battle to defend the Forbidden City finally ended.

Up and down the imperial city, cheers rang out.

Looking at the bloodstains up and down the imperial city under the rising red sun, Li Shanchang only felt shocked.

"Alas, I thought I would be able to sit back and relax with the Forbidden City." He sighed and collapsed.

At the most dangerous time, the Ming disciples were only three feet away from him, and blood was splashed on his face.

"Xiangye was clever, first lured the snake out of the hole, and then killed the horse gun, and then extinguished this Mingjiao rebellion." Xue Xiang hurriedly supported him.

"Remember, it's not a rebellion, it's a riot!" Li Shanchang said sternly: "I have to say the same thing with them, this is just a small riot, everything is under control!" ”

"Yes, yes." Xue Xiang nodded hurriedly, but looking at the scene of rivers of blood and dead and wounded pillows in the square in front of the noon gate, he felt that his conscience was condemned.

"Xiangye." At this time, Zhu Xiang, the prefect of Fengyang, came up out of breath and reported: "The riots in the city are basically under control, but with only the three guards and horses, it is really impossible to catch all the traitors. ”

"It's not a traitor, it's a rebel!" Xue Xiang hurriedly corrected it.

"Is there any difference?" Zhu Xiang asked puzzled.

"Don't worry so much." Li Shanchang interrupted him and said: "Order Ding Bin and them to control the city gate first, protect all the important construction sites and the minister's mansion, and then arrest people when Huai Yuanwei and Chang Huaiwei arrive...... They should be there soon, too. ”

"Yes!" Zhu Xiang responded and asked again: "When the time comes, will they all be arrested?" ”

"yes, are they all caught?" Xue Xiang also asked.

This was a migrant workers' rebellion, and I don't know how many craftsmen and people were involved, and I couldn't tell who was involved and who didn't.

If they are all arrested, the Zhongdu project will definitely be stopped, and he doesn't have so many people to review them one by one.

"What do you think?" Li Shanchang threw the question back to Xue Xiang.

"If you want to say that they are all involved, there must be those who have been wronged." Xue Xiang pondered: "But there have to be two or three...... No, one or two percent of people are involved. ”

In order to kill as few people as possible, he added: "The point is, killing too many people will delay the progress of the project!" ”

"Hmm." Li Shanchang twisted his beard and his head, and then ordered: "Then kill Yicheng first, and deter it." ”

"Yes. This ......" Zhu Xiang said with a bitter face: "Who to kill or not to kill?" ”

"I don't care, whether it's a lot, or whatever the points are, you can do it yourself." Li Shanchang said coldly: "Then tell the rest of the people that the progress of the project cannot be delayed, otherwise they will also die." ”

"This will inevitably allow the real traitors to escape." After all, Xue Xiang is a scholar and cannot accept this barbaric random killing method.

"That's right, you can't let a real traitor escape." Li Shanchang laughed and said, "Then when the cultivation of Zhongdu is completed, it will be good to kill them all......"

"This ......" Xue Xiang's hairs stood on end when he heard this, but he didn't expect that his kindness would harm those people.

"Quickly send someone to clean up this place, and wipe all the blood stains for me. There are still areas that should be repaired and repaired, and they must be in good condition! Li Shanchang stopped talking nonsense with him and gave orders directly.

Then he said to Zhu Xiang: "Governor Zhu, this time Xue Shangshu has suffered a lot of losses, and you must replenish his manpower as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, yes, but all the people that Fengyang Mansion can levy have been requisitioned." Zhu Xiang made a difficulty.

"Stupid!" Li Shanchang glanced at him depressedly, if he hadn't had to point at this guy in the future, he would have kicked him as far as he could.

"The Ming Sect has made such a big mess in the Middle Capital City, is your Fengyang Mansion indifferent? Shouldn't the counties be ordered to arrest their followers? If it wasn't enough, wasn't it in Yuanqiu that day, and tens of thousands of people watched the play? It doesn't hurt to count them all! ”

Seeing that Li Shanchang is still the simple and crude method of the war years. Xue Xiang shook his head secretly, I really want to say, my lord, times have changed.

It's a pity that he didn't dare to say it.

In Jinqiaokan, the field has begun to turn yellow, and the rice has also entered the grain filling stage.

"It doesn't matter if there is less water in the field, but when grouting, you must keep the water level at about an inch!" Tang Jiachang stood in the field, holding a hoe in his hand, and said to the Hong brothers who were working next to him:

"If the grain filling is good, the rice grains will be full, and the yield will naturally be high. It can be seen that the rice ears are not large, the fruit is not fruitful, and the deflated grain rate is not high.

Zhu Hu and Zhu Zheng worked together to carry a bucket, drawing water from the river on the side to the field, and they worked harder when they heard the words.

Their field is good, but the terrain is a bit high, and it is inconvenient to divert water for irrigation.

was working hard, and saw Zhu Zhen and Zhu Di driving the ox cart to the edge of the field.

"Fourth, don't follow the sixth child, it's better to help my brother carry a few buckets of water if you have that kung fu." The third child couldn't help it when he saw the fourth.

"Hey, let's see this time." Zhu Di smiled proudly and carried down a big guy from the ox cart with the sixth child.
