Chapter 149 Moths to the flame

"Accelerate, we rest in front of Beijing City and prepare to face the enemy." Ye Qiu said.

Lu Zhenggang and Dai Zhitai behind him were shocked when they heard this, "Sir, aren't we going to the city?"

Ye Qiu shook his head and said, "Of course I won't go in. The soldiers and horses behind Huang Taiji are biting too tightly. If the city gate is opened, the Jurchens will definitely rush in."

Then he smiled softly, "Why, are you scared?"

Lu Zhenggang and Dai Zhitai suddenly turned red. Lu Zhenggang, who was impatient, said: "I am not afraid of Jurchen slaves, but your safety is just yours..."

"You are not afraid, what am I afraid of? The only one in this world who can kill me Ye Qiu... is myself, hahaha!"

Ye Qiu had something in his words, but neither Lu Zhenggang nor Dai Zhitai could hear it.

On the city wall, several pavilions, including Ye Xiu, all went up to the top of the city and looked at the direction of Ye Qiu and Huang Taiji's army.

After looking at it for a while, the Minister of War couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "The Jurchens are all cavalrymen, and Beijing City is fine."

"How do you say this?" asked a cabinet master.

"The Jurchen cavalry are all elites of the Jurchen clan. If one dies, one will not be used to attack the city. I believe Huang Taiji is just here to demonstrate." The Minister of War explained.

"Demonstration? I'm afraid they stay outside the city and don't leave. In this way, the prices in the city are probably..." A cabinet master said very pessimistically.

No wonder he is like this. This year, there was another drought and locust plague in the Ming Dynasty. The food was already tight. When the Jurchens were trapped in the city, the food prices in the capital were probably going to soar.

Ye Xiu did not speak at first, but looked at the Ye Qiu cavalry rushing from afar, and then suddenly said: "Can you let the city gate open a hole and put my nephew in?"

"This..." The Minister of War was a little hesitant, but Ye Xiu couldn't afford to offend him, so he thought for a while and said, "Yes, but it can only be opened for half a quarter of an hour, and only Ye Qiu can come in alone." Then he explained, "After all, the army is too slow to go through. If the Jurchens take the opportunity to rush in, it will be a big problem."

"Yes, but I still have to send someone to notify my boy."

A gap was opened by the city gate, and a cavalry pegasus rushed towards Ye Qiu's army, and soon came to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiujun started to slow down two miles from the city wall.

The cavalry looked at Ye Qiu and said, "Mr. Ye, please take a step to speak."

Ye Qiu had already seen this person, and when he heard this, the army stopped.

He took a few steps forward and came to the knight, "Brother, what's wrong?"

The cavalry leaned to Ye Qiu's ear and whispered a few times.

Ye Qiu was stunned when he heard this, then hugged and clasped his fists at the city of Beijing and said, "Ye thanked all the care of all the lords, but I cannot leave. I am grateful for the emperor's kindness and was appointed as the general's important task when I was in a young age. How dare I not do my best to serve? Now that the Jurchens have entered the pass and the army is coming to the capital, it is a great shame for Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty. The Lord humiliated me and died. How can I hide in the city wall and watch the Jurchens show off their power? Besides-"

Speaking of this, he pointed behind him and said to the knight: "These are soldiers brought by Ye. They trust Ye to follow Ye here to fight with the powerful Jurchens. They can sacrifice their lives to help me, how can Ye abandon them for a lifetime? You don't have to say anything, go back..."

"By the way, let me tell you, Ye will fight the Jurchens to the death with the Jurchens under the city of Beijing, and will never let one Jurchen soldiers touch the Beijing city wall."

The knight showed admiration in his eyes, and he immediately clasped his fists at Ye Qiu, "Take care, Lord Ye." Then he ran towards the city gate.

When Ye Qiu's words were heard by him, the city wall was silent, and Ye Xiu slapped heavily in his heart, "I'm confused! I'm afraid I won't burn if I keep the green mountains?"

However, deep down, I admire this nephew who is not good at adapting.

Don't be afraid of death!

It’s simple to say, but how many people can do it?

Soon the words Ye Qiu said were spread throughout the entire city wall by the knight who admired him, and then spread from this city wall to the soldiers on other city walls.

The civilians and men on the city wall also heard the conversations of the soldiers.

They passed on what Ye Qiu said into Beijing.

So, when Huang Taiji and his army stopped, Ye Qiu suddenly received a large number of chivalrous values ​​reminders in his mind, diluting a little sadness of being about to part.

Cao Huachun, who was also on the city wall, hurriedly went down the city tower and came to a yard in the city. The yard was tightly guarded because Emperor Chongzhen was here.

"Why did the patriot Cao come? The Jurchen slaves attacked?"

"Your Majesty, the Jurchens did not attack, it was just Ye Qiu..."

Cao Huachen passed on all the things Ye Qiu said to Emperor Chongzhen, especially the paragraph "I am grateful to the emperor..."

Chongzhen's face slowly turned red, and then his eyes turned red. He suppressed his excitement and said, "Okay, okay, this is my loyal minister and general, this is my Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty!"

Then he pulled Cao Huachun's sleeve and said, "Hurry up, partner Cao, send someone to summon the army to serve the king. Ye Qiu cannot die, and such a loyal minister cannot die!"

Cao Huachun smiled bitterly. When he came down to the city, the Jurchen scouts had already spread out from all directions. It would be difficult to send people out of the city. As for the Beijing city, those Beijing soldiers had more than enough to defend the city, and going to fight would give them a head!

Fortunately, several orders of troops had been sent out before.

As for how many soldiers and horses can come and when can they come?

It can only be left to fate.

Outside the city, Huang Taiji's army slowly stopped, and Huang Luo's umbrella moved to the front army in Ye Qiu's gaze. Huang Taiji carefully looked at the young general in front of the opposite formation.

This Ye Qiu... is really young!

He had tried to recruit, but this person was loyal to the Ming Dynasty and rejected himself several times. Now he can only kill this powerful general who is rare in a century.

Unfortunately...however... so handsome, why do you have to be enemies of my Jurchens?

Huang Taiji originally wanted to say something, but after seeing Ye Qiu, he suddenly didn't want to say it. Huang Luo umbrella slowly retreated back.

Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes, watched Huang Taiji slowly move back, and suddenly spoke to Lu Zhenggang and Dai Zhitai, "You each lead a thousand soldiers and horses to wander on both wings, don't fight head-on, just harass them. Most Jurchen slaves are heavy cavalry and cannot catch up with you."

"Sir, what about you?" Dai Zhitai asked.

"Me? I'll kill Huang Taiji!"

Ye Qiu's words moved Lu Zhenggang and Dai Zhitai at the same time.

So everyone on the city wall saw this scene. Ye Qiu's three thousand cavalry divided into three groups, and rushed towards the black army of Jurchens like moths to the flames.

Huang Taiji was still retreating, retreating very slowly. When he saw Ye Qiu rushing, his face changed, and then waved his hand and the heavy horn sounded.
