Chapter 196: Opening the City Gate

"Well, well, Brother Xining is right. It's just that this matter still needs to be decided by my brother first, and I think it's still the advanced Ming Jingshi who is talking about it. The king of the journal smiled hehehe, and on the surface he listened to Xining's suggestion, but in fact, his understanding was still limited, and it was difficult to achieve anything.

Seeing this clearly, Xining simply stopped saying anything. After waiting for the actual capture of the Jingshi, I am afraid that the leader of the first will come soon, and it is not too late to make suggestions at that time.

At this time, both the King of Saikan and Xining regarded the Daming Jingshi as their own back garden, in their opinion, where the army went, the enemy must have heard the wind and surrendered, but they didn't know that Yang Chendong had been waiting for them for a long time.

It's another day and the sun is slowly rising in the east.

With the arrival of a new day, the city of Jingshi is extremely quiet. Because of the fear of war, most of the people who could leave left, and those who stayed behind were always those who did not want to leave for various reasons. In Yang Chendong's words, these remaining talents have a stable mentality, and they will not easily make trouble even if the war starts.

If no one makes trouble in the capital, his worries will be reduced, and Yang Chendong will be able to fight against the Warat army wholeheartedly.

Although it is said that it has the new army of the Yang family and the most advanced firearms in the world, after all, the number of people is too small, plus the hundred Leng Feng led by Xiao Feng before, the number is only 400 people, and it is not a little sloppy in the face of dozens of times the enemy.

War has always been a very serious matter, and it is also the most changeable thing.

A carelessness, a lack of attention in a section, or a problem in a link can directly lead to a change in the result. Of course, Yang Chendong is still very confident in the cold fronts of the new army of the Yang family, and there will be no problem if they prohibit it separately. What he was worried about was the 10,000 city defense troops given to him by the emperor, including 5,000 soldiers from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

These people are used to being rampant in the city, and there is naturally no problem in bullying ordinary people, but what kind of result will be for the elite Warat cavalry, then I dare not say. Even when it comes to a tailwind fight, it is doubtful whether it is possible to achieve complete victory.

So early in the morning, Yang Chendong called five commanders and led them to stand on the tower of Desheng Gate, the north gate of the Beijing Division.

Along with the five commanders, there was also a general named Yang Guang, who was originally the identity of the deputy commander-in-chief, and when Shi Heng, the commander-in-chief, lost the battle and disappeared, he naturally became extremely important.

Yang Guang still has some skills, and more importantly, he has a good attitude, as soon as he saw Yang Chendong, he shouted Hou Ye on the left, and Hou Ye shouted again, feeling very close. Under his leadership, the five conductors including Sun Yu also changed from the original title of Yang Hou to Hou Ye.

Standing opposite Yang Guang and Sun Boe, Yang Chendong pointed to the open space behind him, that is, outside the Desheng Gate, and said: "It won't be long before the cavalry of Warat will appear here, and a big battle is inevitable, everyone, are you afraid?" ”

Yang Chendong's tone was very calm, even cold, as if saying that the appearance of the enemy army was like telling a story, which could not arouse the slightest wave in his heart.

In contrast, these six people performed as unsatisfactory as they should. Yang Guang and Sun Yu are still better, at least they can still stand there with their bodies straight, Tao Jin, Yang Jie, Gao Li, and Mao Fushou The faces of the four conductors are obviously much more ugly, and even if you look closely, your legs are trembling all the time.

In this month, the morning of Jingshi is not hot at this moment, but it is far from being related to the cold, but the four of them are still nervous and break out in a cold sweat, which is enough to show the panic in their hearts.

"Well, the four of you will lead two hundred soldiers to take care of the security of the city, as I said before. But it must be remembered that if the enemy army does not enter the city, there must be no chaos in the Jingshi, otherwise whoever has a problem will be punished. Yang Chendong didn't want to let Tao Jin and the four of them stay, because with their existence, it was a good thing for morale and morale, and it was easy to bring other soldiers to make them feel afraid.

Hearing that they didn't have to face the Warat cavalry, Tao Jin and the four couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and they all hugged their fists and bowed to Yang Chendong and then retreated from the city tower.

Only Yang Guang and Sun Yu were left. Yang Chendong opened his mouth and said: "Deputy Chief Yang Bing, you are responsible for leading the five thousand cavalry to stay under the Desheng Gate, and when the time comes, you will lead the army out of the city to pursue when you listen to my order." Remember, you can't attack without Benhou's order before, and when you go out of the city, you can't go too far, with a limit of ten miles, and you will immediately retreat if you exceed this distance, understand? ”

Yang Guang, who was named by name, looked puzzled. Listening to Yang Chendong's meaning, he led the cavalry to attack and chase the enemy, didn't he need to fight face-to-face?

If you don't fight, how can you be sure that the other side will escape? If you don't run away, where will you come from the pursuit?

It's just that I don't understand it, the military order is like a mountain, Yang Chendong is the commander of the Daizong Zhu Qiyu, even if he has the military order, he only needs to obey it.

"Yes, please rest assured that the humble post will definitely follow his orders." Yang Guang, who finished clasping his fists, went down to prepare. Five thousand horses, this is a number that has been collected in the city for a long time, and it is also one of the strongest forces in the capital that everyone can see.

Yang Guang also left, leaving Sun Yu and a commander standing there, holding his head up, but there was also a momentum.

Sun Yu chose to take refuge with Jin Ying in history, and he was once in the limelight for a while, but the final ending was still very tragic. Yang Chendong, who learned about this period of history from the book, found that this person still has some ability, as long as he is well guided, he will become a good general, so he intends to train him and keep him by his side.

"Commander Sun, the remaining 4,000 people in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will be handed over to you, all of them are placed on this victory gate, to give people the feeling that there are soldiers everywhere, is it possible?" Facing Sun Yu, Yang Chendong gave his task.

"Please rest assured, Master Hou, you will do a good job." Sun Yu replied in a loud voice, but in fact, he was already puzzled in his heart. What does it mean to be loyal to the Marquis? Did he only lead his troops over the gates? Don't you need to send people outside the city to meet the enemy? It seems that he is going to passively defend the city, but I just don't know if he can defend it.

Sun Yu went to arrange it with full doubts. When he was still thinking about whether he should rely on the city tower to resist the Wara army, a new order was handed down, which made him completely dizzy, and he couldn't understand what Yang Chendong was going to do.

The new task turned out to be to close all the castles of the capital except for the Victory Gate, and the only victory gate that was not closed had to be opened, giving people the feeling that they could enter it with a long body.

I don't know why the city gate was opened, didn't that lead to the entry of the army of Warat? You must know that the cavalry is best at attacking on land, if you refuse to defend the city, there may be a slight chance of victory, but open the city gate, once the city is let in, it is not to say that you have given up your own advantages, which will only increase the difficulty of defending the city.

Sun Wei, who was really puzzled, arranged for someone to do what Yang Chendong wanted, and at the same time ordered his cronies to go to the palace to inform Jin Ying's father-in-law. The wheels of history are so similar, the previous life took refuge in Jin Ying, and this life has the same trend.

In the palace, all the officials were summoned to the court. Compared with the usual court meetings, all the courtiers today have lost their minds to play.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the dragon chair, but the dragon chair was big, and it didn't seem to be able to calm him down.

In fact, he couldn't help but worry. Once the Jingshi is lost, it means that he will be the emperor at the end, and he will also become the second emperor to be defeated by Wara after Yingzong Zhu Qiyu, which will become a shame in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, whether he will become a high-ranking emperor, or become a prisoner, or even a dead man, it all depends on how this battle for the defense of the capital is played.

Unlike in history, Yu Qian, the squire of the military department, is gone. Under the guidance of Yang Chendong, there was no battle with the Warat army on the periphery. After Shi Heng's defeat, all the pressure was focused on the victory gate, where the final outcome of the battle would be decided.

"Report!"

Just when Zhu Qiyu was still worried, the soldiers sent by Sun Yu to inform the news came outside the Jinluan Palace.

"Enter the temple!" Jin Ying, who was standing beside Zhu Qiyu, was also concerned about the success or failure of this battle, and this time he shouted out directly without waiting for the emperor's promise.

At this time of life and death, no one is thinking about whether Jin Ying has overstepped his authority by doing this, what everyone thinks about is whether there is any result ahead, is it a victory? Or is it defeated?

The soldiers who reported the news were allowed to enter, and immediately bowed their heads and walked into the hall, and then fell to the ground with a pounce and said loudly: "The door of victory is wide open, Yang Guang, deputy commander-in-chief, with 5,000 iron cavalry, ambushed in the city, and the commander Si Sun Yu with more than 4,000 soldiers was arranged on the tower of the victory gate. ”

"What?"

As the soldiers who reported the news finished talking about the situation at the city gate, the entire court suddenly became lively.

"How is it possible to open the gates of the city? The best thing for the Warat cavalry is to charge into battle, and the tall city wall is our only reliance. ”

In order to show his erudition, the military department Shangshu Yiming spoke out at the moment.

"Yes, yes! This move is really inappropriate, inappropriate. The other ministers also coaxed along.

"That's enough." Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, saw that the court was in a mess of porridge, and he was like the people in the market, and his lips trembled and he yelled loudly.
