Chapter 61 Unexpected

The government troops came to the south, and the most people gathered outside the Lizhengmen, Zhengnanmen, Peiping.The artillery fire roared outside the city and the smoke of gunpowder rolled, but the prince was still in charge of Lizhengmen!

Zhu Gaoxu, Yao Guangxiao and others also stood next to the prince. Everyone in the city tower couldn't help but cough... from time to time.The smoke from gunpowder and the thick smoke burning with harsh tinder were very choking.

The smell of burning tinder was like a mixed smell of gasoline and asphalt, and Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be in a ragged car of thirty years old.

Although the people on the city tower were condescending, their vision was affected by the thick smoke and they couldn't see clearly what was outside.

From time to time, soldiers walked into the city tower and knelt on one knee to report the situation. When the cannons were dense, they often couldn't hear the sound of their speech, and the atmosphere around them was noisy and tense.

Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself: Although the offensive and defensive momentum of Beiping City is larger than the previous Yongping City, the truth is the same.

The danger comes from the continuous consumption of the defenders, which will lead to weak troops; the one that can really solve the problem is reinforcements!

This battle has not been fought for a long time, so Zhu Gaoxu is not very worried for the time being.

At this moment, a blood-stained general suddenly rolled into the Lizheng Gate Tower!Everyone looked at each other, and the prince was also attracted by the eyes.

Without waiting for inquiries, the general immediately spoke: No!Your Highness, the Zhangyi Sect was broken!

What? ! The prince's fat body suddenly became extremely agile and suddenly bounced off the chair.

Everyone in the city tower was immediately uproared, and their faces changed. Even Zhu Gaoxu, who had just been distracted, was shocked.

Someone next to him said: How could the city of Peking be broken in less than ten days?

Yao Guangxiao couldn't sit still: The situation was dangerous!There are many officials and soldiers, and once they flock into the city, Beiping will not be able to defend it!Prince, send someone to reinforce immediately, and regain the Zhangyi Sect regardless of everything!

Seeing that the prince was unable to move, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't sit still. He was now a grasshopper on the same rope as everyone in Peking!

He immediately clasped his fists and said: Brother, the people I brought back happened to be in the west, and there was no arrangement to go to the city.Please give me the order, and I will lead my army to reinforce immediately!

good!Second brother, go quickly!The prince also let go of his personal grudges for a moment and said in an extremely sincere tone that there is still a turning point when the second brother leaves!

I will do my best.Zhu Gaoxu clasped his fists and said, then hurriedly ran out of the city tower.

The prince was still talking to the generals behind and was arranging more troops near the Zhangyi Gate to reinforce.

Bang...bang... Zhu Gaoxu ran down the city, and the heavy armor on his body collided with violent movements.

Once the city gate is broken, the rhythm of the battle will suddenly accelerate, and every second is very fatal!

Zhu Gaoxu rushed down the city tower, turned over and jumped onto the war horse, and ran towards the west of the city as fast as possible.

Fortunately, the prince had ordered martial law throughout the city before the war started. Several streets across the city were blocked, and no people were allowed to enter, just to keep the road open at an emergency so that soldiers could be dispatched quickly!

After riding a horse for a while, Zhu Gaoxu finally saw the infantry and cavalry lined up on one side of the street.

Before he could run to the place, he immediately shouted: Wang Bin, take your cavalry with me to Zhangyi Gate!Veda led the infantry to run and advance immediately to Zhangyi Gate!

Get order!

Although Zhu Gaoxu has tried his best to reinforce as quickly as possible, it takes time to mobilize troops after all!

After some delay, I don’t know how many official troops entered the city during this period!

The officers and soldiers outside the city had as many as 500,000 troops.

This is unscientific!It shouldn't be done so easily, right?

Zhu Gaoxu led the cavalry to Zhangyi Gate first, and then he heard the sound of killing in front of him trembled. When he got closer, he saw that the gate of Zhangyi Gate was wide open, and the soldiers and horses at the door were rushing into a group.

There were nearby defenders who arrived without waiting for the central army's orders.

The smoke filled the city gate, the arrows flew around, and the muskets kept firing. The city gate was crowded with people, and Zhu Gaoxu's cavalry could not get up for the time being. He saw a general shouting there, so he rushed forward.

Zhu Gaoxu called the general and asked with an angry look on his face: How can the official army break the door?

The general recognized the Prince of Gaoyang and immediately clasped his fists and said: The last general had just arrived for a while. It is said that because there were few officials outside the Zhangyi Gate, there were not many guards in the Zhangyi Gate.The guard general took it lightly and was climbed up from the ladder by the official army!

This official army was very fierce. While our army was unprepared, it quickly climbed up the main wall from Yuecheng. The defenders on the city wall were defeated, and the official army rushed down the slant over there, cut down the defenders from the city gate, and opened the city gate!

After hearing the general process, Zhu Gaoxu had several resistances and no one blocked them. Isn’t this official army’s offensive unstoppable?

At this moment, I suddenly saw a scattered mass at the city gate, and a large number of Yàn soldiers fled to the streets on both sides, screaming and shouting loudly, and it was like throwing away his armor!

The Yàn army behind quickly advanced forward with the shouts of the generals.

Zhu Gaoxu and others led the cavalry to follow and saw the official army standing at the gate of the city, but they were defending and not rushing into the city.

There is also a spacious slope passage near the city gate, leading to the city wall, where officials are defending the opening there, probably mainly to prevent the defenders from reinforcements from the city wall.

The government army's infantry formations were in front and the cavalry were behind, and the men and horses were purged.Zhu Gaoxu couldn't believe that with the organization of ancient troops, the chaotic troops that had just attacked the city gate could quickly deploy their formation?

Ask Duke Cao to mobilize troops, hurry up!After the official army's infantry formation, a general riding a horse shouted loudly, and even Zhu Gaoxu could hear it.

Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself: No wonder the official army did not take advantage of the situation to rush into the city. The defenders of Zhangyi Gate were thin and there were not many officials and soldiers entering the city. But this official army general was very smart. He first defended the city gate and could immediately kill the reinforcements as soon as they arrived!

Zhu Gaoxu pointed at the general and asked: Who is the enemy general?

Someone replied: Governor Qu Neng!

At this moment, the battle ahead suddenly became fierce, and a large number of troops rushed closer to the city gate.

Bang bang bang bang... The muskets in front of the official army rang one after another, and the cavalry behind them were riding and shooting on horseback. The city gate was not big, and the people were crowded, and screamed in tears.

Zhu Gaoxu paid attention to the observation and saw that the infantry in front of Qu Neng were arranged unusually, and there were muskets and crossbows between the spearmen. A large number of melee infantry fought with the Yàn army in the front. There were muskets and crossbows in the middle and fired nearby, and there were bows and arrows behind them...

At this time, the sound of killing in chaos was shocking, but Qu Neng's men and horses were organized, and the firepower was combined with a long and near range, which was quite deep!

It is quite difficult to maintain this effect in such a narrow place and a chaotic and tense battle!

Zhu Gaoxu understood the situation and did not dare to lead his troops to rush forward for a while... Last time, Wang Bin's heavy armor was shot through by a musket, which left a deep impression on him!

The danger of rushing into the formation of Qu Neng in front of him is too great.

Go away, bring the cannon!Zhu Gaoxu made a quick decision and shouted.

At this time, the generals who had rushed around several times suddenly came to their senses and shouted that they were carrying the cannons to bomb!

Or suddenly being broken into the city, many guards were panicked and were eager to retake the city gate, so they rushed to rush hard to scrub the military formation here; but it took a lot of time, except for the continuous increase in casualties between the two sides, it did not play any decisive role.

Fortunately, there is no flawless military formation in the world.

Qu Neng was blocked at the city gate, with no movements in the infantry and cavalry, and so crowded, so how could the cannon collapse after being bombed?

At this moment, the people on the city wall passage were empty and began to rush towards the city gate in groups. The cavalry in the city gate corridor also turned around and retreated outside the city... Just as Zhu Gaoxu heard Qu Neng's shout, the shouts of Zhu Gaoxu just now seemed to have been heard by Qu Neng.

The Yàn army finally gained the upper hand and continued to advance towards the city gate.

Stop chasing, block the city gate first!Zhu Gaoxu shouted again, "The soldiers of all the troops will immediately go to the city wall!"

Qu Neng's troops left behind a piece of corpse and wounded soldiers, and passed through the urn city one after another, running out of the city.Ga... A huge sound sounded from the heavy city gate and finally slowly closed.

The last ray of sunlight outside disappeared from the crack in the door, and Zhu Gaoxu's heart, which had been hanging for a moment, finally landed temporarily.

Ah!Ah... There were still screaming everywhere in the city gate. The Yàn soldiers took spears and waist knives and stabbed at the enemy soldiers who were not dead.

Zhu Gaoxu let out a long sigh, flipped off the horse's back, and walked towards the city wall passage.

As soon as his feet fell to the ground, his feet felt very sticky and uncomfortable. He looked down and saw blood flowing on the bricks and floors, and walking on them was like stepping on mud.

He walked up the ramp to the wall and looked out, a group of people had retreated to the opposite side of the moat.

A horse riding general in front was also looking up, his face facing this side, maybe Qu Neng was.

Zhu Gaoxu also looked at the man.

The two of them were standing up and down the city wall, across the moat, looking at each other speechlessly.

It is useless to scold you at this time. The sound of cannons from far and near is very loud, with the sound of wind, guns, strings, and shouts buzzing in your ears... It is useless to shout even if you scream through your throat!

Zhu Gaoxu stood on the city wall and could only communicate vaguely with Qu Neng through guessing.

I don’t know what Qu Neng is thinking at this time, is he expressing his admiration for Zhu Gaoxu?

He thought of using cannons very quickly... Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself: His urgent intelligence is not the key, the key is that the government army did not reinforce in time, and no one has come yet.

Otherwise, once tens of thousands of people rushed into the city of Peiping, would the defenders in Peiping fight against the streets?

Zhu Gaoxu only has the fear of being afraid!

At the same time, he was secretly surprised that he had never met Qu Neng, but he had a Sanda game with Qu Neng's son Qu Liangcai at Zhuozhou Inn. Qu Liangcai was Zhu Gaoxu's defeated player!

Unexpectedly, the good-credit's father Qu Neng was so powerful. He could break through the city gate of Peking with just a little force, organize defense, and occupy the city gate for so long!

Outside Zhangyi Gate, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the field of sergeants around Qu Neng, and there might be only more than a thousand people.
