Saying that, this cannonball exploded at the gate of the imperial city, and everyone lay on the ground, and then another loud bang burst out, and another cannonball flew in the direction of Chen Yuejing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Yuejing saw that the cannonball was approaching, so she pushed it to everyone, and she also rolled to the side, the cannonball exploded at the city gate, and the guards in this row were blown up in the air, and the thick city gate suddenly rose with green smoke, and a burst of dust flew down.

Chen Zhi saw that the Jinling guards were already approaching the gate of the imperial city, so he immediately shouted to the Praetorian Guard: "Let them enter the city first, close the gate of the imperial city, I'm afraid this last barrier won't last long." ”

The fleeing people immediately came like a tide and rushed into the gate of the imperial city, until all the people came in, and then the gate of the imperial city was slowly closed.

On the city wall behind this, all the guards rushed up to the city tower, and on the high slope of the imperial city, six cannons were already in place, just waiting for the gate of the imperial city to be broken, which was the time to open the cannons.

This is more or less, some bleak scenes, people have attacked one after another, from the outer city to the inner city, now the inner city is broken, and gathered to this imperial city, if the imperial city gate is lost again, the palace gate behind, that is over the wall can be entered, thinking of this, Chen Zhi couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

"Lord Chen, the emperor sent the old slave to ask how the battle is going? If you can't hold it anymore, the emperor wants you to raise your head to see it!" A voice came from behind him, Chen Zhi looked back, and saw this eunuch Wen Tao, supported by Wei Zhongxian, slowly coming upstairs along the stone stairs.

Chen Zhi immediately stepped forward, bent down and clasped his fists and saluted: "Gonggong Wen, Xia Guan is preparing to send someone to report it, since you are here, then there is Lao Dai to pass it on, you have also seen it, this Dongying artillery is really powerful, where it is exploded, there are all earth and stones splashing, even this strong city wall, under its artillery fire, is also like mud, after a few clicks, it has cracked, and now these thieves have come to the imperial city, I am afraid it will not last long!"

"Hehe! Is it? Where is Fan Gang of the Military Department? Where is Zhai Hu, the commander of the Praetorian Guard?" the old eunuch looked at the defeated general with a look of disdain and asked.

"The lower officer and soldier department temporarily replaced Shangshu Fan Gang, this crime of losing the outer city should be the brunt, please ask the father-in-law to act on behalf of the general court, remove the crime of failure to investigate the lower official, and the criminal minister is willing to be punished. In the midst of this chaotic army, Fan Gang crawled out, covered in mud and bloodstained on his face.

"That's it, now that the national crisis is at hand, General Fan invites it, the old slave can't afford it, you kneel, defend against the foreign world with peace of mind! As for this thorough investigation, wait for the emperor to make a decision after the war. Wen Tao picked up Fan Gang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a whisk of dust.

"Zhai Hu, the commander of the Janissary Guard, believes in the king of Jinling in the outer city, which caused the loss of the outer city, and I ask Gonggong Wen to convict and investigate. This trembling person came out, and Zhai Yinghan next to him hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Lord Zhai Hu! You open the door to lure the wolf into the room, this has already been reported, our family is just a messenger, as for what crime should be, after this war, it will be decided by the emperor, and we will guard the door with peace of mind, our family will go back to restore our lives, we will say goodbye, we will have a period in the future! Let's go, go back, Xiao Weizi, lead the way ahead." After Wen Tao finished saying these words that were neither light nor heavy, not itchy or painful, with the support of Wei Zhongxian, he waved the dust and staggered down the stone stairs.

When he was about to go downstairs, this Wen Tao turned around and shouted upstairs: "Chen Baihu, you come down for a trip, the old slave still has a few words, it is the concubine Niangniang who asked the old slave, this person is so inconvenient, you just move downstairs, can you?"

Chen Zhi heard this Wen Tao's shout, so he hurried downstairs and came downstairs, only to see this Wen Tao whispering to him, which frightened his face suddenly turned blue.

"Father-in-law Wen, this matter will be annoying for you to run away, if the siege of the imperial city is to be solved, Chen Mou will set up a banquet to thank your father-in-law, walk slowly, and the next official will not be far away from you, be careful on the road!" Chen Zhibi was respectful, bent down to salute Wen Tao, and then turned around and looked at the city tower and walked up.

Outside the imperial city tower, tens of thousands of iron horsemen in Jinling gathered one after another, Zhu Zaixiong nodded and bowed, guiding Tokugawa to the imperial city gate: "General, the front is the gate of the imperial city, as long as the last city gate is broken, the palace wall behind it can not stop the footsteps of the iron cavalry at all, this final victory is just around the corner, can you please Your Excellency, bomb again, the day of the city, I will not forget the grace of the adult's assistance." ”

Tokugawa looked at the red wall and green tiles, the solemn and majestic gate of the imperial city, and said with some pity: "Zhu Sang, this is your world soon, and you have to bombard it with artillery fire, and then you have to spend silver to repair, in my opinion, there are only tens of thousands of guards guarding the city, and there are many old, weak, sick and disabled, let's attack the city directly, don't use artillery fire." ”

Zhu Zaixiong actually has no bottom in his heart, he is the first to bear the brunt, attacking the inner city and the outer city, there are three thousand casualties, looking at his own remaining eight or nine thousand iron horses, this is his last old book, the partner has not arrived for a long time, who will kill this deer? It is still unknown, so desperately seize the city, I don't know how many iron horsemen will be killed and injured, this old saying has a cloud: "The praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow magpie is behind, the sandpiper and the mussels fight, and the fisherman profits!"

Looking at Zhu Zaixiong's hesitation, Tokugawa patted him on the shoulder: "Zhu Sang, don't worry, this is a siege, my empire will help you, Zuo Yujun, it's time for you to go out." ”

Zuo Yu walked out from behind, bowed his head and said, "Please rest assured, Your Excellency General, at this hour tomorrow, the general will definitely be able to drink and have fun with Zhu Sang in the palace, and everything will be wrapped up in me." ”

Zuo Yu turned around and turned around, pulled out the command sword, and shouted: "The city gate in front of you is captured, and the silver two beauties are big, and the flower girl's is big, rush!"

I saw that these 30,000 would-be robbers, like tigers out of the cage, rushed forward viciously, and Tokugawa patted Zhu Zaixiong on the shoulder: "Zhu Sang, our warriors have set off, quickly give the order to attack the city! Please remember that our warriors are helping you, fighting to the death in bloodshed for your imperial cause." ”

Zhu Zaixiong was unsettled at this time, and under his coercion, he had to wave his hand and say: "Siege!"

Xie En stepped forward, bent down and clenched his fists, and said, "The last general will obey." Little guys, today's decisive battle is imminent, wait to break through the gate of this imperial city, point the sword at Jinluan, and add officials to the knighthood is just around the corner, attack the city!"

Xie En took out the sword at his waist and pointed at the gate of the imperial city, only to see the Jinling guard, pushing the battering ram, the ladder, and the catapult, slowly approaching the gate of the imperial city.

On the tower of this imperial city, Fan Gang was sweating profusely, and kept wiping with his sleeves, seeing the figure surging like a tide under this tower, the shouting of killing was deafening, and it was gradually approaching.

This Zhai Hu looked left and right, only to see this eyeball, the thief glanced around, and slowly retreated from the city tower.

I saw the siege of the army, brandishing weapons and shouting to kill, just when it was approaching, the left wing of a shouting and killing sounded, only to see the first general, wearing a golden helmet on his head, wearing a golden armor, a red cloak tied around his neck, holding a heavenly halberd, rushing towards the gate of the imperial city......
