Chapter 61 Unexpected

("readerFs").className = "rfs_" + rSetDef()[3]

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

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

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

Although the people on the city tower were condescending, their vision was affected by the thick smoke and they could not see clearly the scene 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.

Without waiting for inquiries, the general immediately spoke, "No! Your Highness, the Zhangyi Sect has been broken!"

"What?!" The prince's fat body suddenly became extremely agile and suddenly bounced off the chair. Everyone in the city tower was immediately upset, his face changed, and 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 is dangerous! There are many officials and soldiers. Once they flock into the city, Beiping will not be able to defend it! The prince will send people to reinforce it immediately. He will regain Zhangyi Gate at all costs!"

Seeing that the prince was unable to move, Zhu Gaoxu could not sit still. He was now 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 up the city. Please give me the order and allow me to lead the army to reinforce immediately!"

"Okay! Second brother, go quickly!" The prince also let go of his personal grudges for a moment and said in an extremely sincere tone, "As soon as the second brother goes, there is still a turning point!"

"I will do my best." Zhu Gaoxu said with his fists and 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 was broken, the rhythm of the battle would suddenly accelerate, and every second was very fatal!

Zhu Gaoxu rushed down the city tower, turned over and jumped onto the war horse, and ran west to the city as fast as possible. Fortunately, the prince had ordered martial law in the whole 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 and generals 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 reach the place, he shouted immediately: "Wang Bin, take your cavalry with me to Zhangyi Gate! Veda, lead the infantry to run and advance, and immediately move to Zhangyi Gate!"

"Get orders!"

Although Zhu Gaoxu has tried his best to reinforce at the fastest speed, it takes time to mobilize troops! After a while, I don’t know how many officials have entered the city! The number of officials outside the city is as many as 500,000.

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, and when he approached a little, he saw that the gate of Zhangyi Gate was wide open, and the troops at the door were rushing into a group. The nearby defenders arrived without waiting for the orders of the central army.

The smoke filled the city gate, the arrows flew around, and the muskets were "bang..." and the city gate was crowded with people. Zhu Gaoxu's cavalry could not get up for the time being. When he saw a general shouting there, 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 government troops outside the Zhangyi Gate, the guards at the Zhangyi Gate were not arranged too much. The guards were slightly careless and were climbed up from the ladder by the official army!

This official army was very fierce. While our army was unprepared, we 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 group of soldiers at the city gate, and a large number of Yan soldiers fled to the streets on both sides, screaming loudly, and it was like throwing away their armor! The Yan 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 city gate, only defending and not rushing into the city. There was also a spacious slope passage near the city gate, leading to the city wall, and there were also officials defending the entrance there, probably mainly to prevent the defenders from reinforcement from the city wall.

The government army had infantry formations in front, cavalry behind, and the troops were purged. Zhu Gaoxu could not believe that with the organization of ancient troops, could the chaotic army that had just attacked the city gates quickly deployed its formation?

"Call Duke Cao to mobilize troops here, 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 in front suddenly became fierce, and a large number of Yan troops rushed closer to the city gate. "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 they 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 Yan army in front. There were musket bows and crossbows in the middle and fired nearby, and there were bows and arrows behind them...

At this time, the chaotic and killing sounds were shocking, but Qu Neng's men and women had rules, and the firepower was combined with a depth and depth! It was 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! It was too dangerous to rush into the Qu Neng formation in front of him.

"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 the city was suddenly broken, and many guards were panicked and were eager to retake the city gate, so they rushed here to fight against Qu Neng's scrupulous army. However, 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 blocking the city gate, with no movements in the infantry and cavalry, and so crowded. The cannons would not collapse even 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 be heard by Qu Neng.

The Yan 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, "All the soldiers of the tribes, go to the city wall immediately!"

Qu Nengmen left a piece of corpse and wounded soldiers, passed through the urn city one after another, and ran 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..." The city gate was still screaming everywhere, and the Yan soldiers took long spears and waist knives and stabbed them wildly 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 landed, his feet became sticky and very uncomfortable. He looked down and saw blood flowing on the bricks and floors, walking on them was like stepping on mud.

He walked up the city wall along the slanting 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, with his face facing this side, maybe Qu Neng. Zhu Gaoxu also looked at the man.

The two of them were standing up and down the city wall, looking at each other from a distance across the moat, looking at each other speechlessly. At this time, it was useless to curse each other. The sound of cannons from afar was very loud, the sound of wind, guns, strings, and shouts were in their ears, "buzzing..." and it was useless even if they shouted to the throat!

Standing on the city wall, Zhu Gaoxu could only communicate with Qu through guessing.

I don’t know what Qu Neng was thinking at this time, was 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 was only afraid! He was also secretly surprised. He had never seen 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, Liangcai's father Qu Neng was so powerful. He could break through the city gate of Peiping with a little force, organize defense, and occupy the city gate for so long!
