Chapter 942: Accident
The streets of Xuanwu Gate were surrounded by tens of thousands of Ming troops, and Xuanwu Gate was blocked by bricks and stones and other debris, and the fire was raging, and the nearly 10,000 Tatar cavalry who took the lead in entering the city were the first to enter the city without a door to enter the ground, and in desperation they had to attack the head of Xuanwu Gate.
There is a stone step on both sides of the Xuanwu Gate, which is used by the defenders to climb the city in peacetime, and now it has become the focus of contention between the two sides, and the Tartars abandon their horses and rush up the stone steps, often before they rush halfway through the spear and sweep down.
Bang bang bang......
The Shenji Battalion and the Jiangxi Army were condescending, and gave full play to the powerful lethality of firearms, almost killing them with guns, but the sharp arrows of the Tartars also flew up to the city like raindrops, and the Jiangxi Army and the Shenji Battalion also suffered a lot of casualties, after all, the defense on the inside of the city was not as strong as the outside, and the time was limited, so the temporary fortifications they erected were very simple.
At this moment, Xuanwumen is like a terrifying meat grinder, dying every minute and every second, and every living life is being smashed.
Looking outside the city, there are as many as 50,000 or 60,000 Tartars who have not entered the city, and they are also frantically attacking Xuanwu Gate, and the training battalion and the Fenwu battalion are responsible for defense, and they are exhausted after fighting for most of the night, and they are exhausted under the attack of several times the Tartars, and the situation is not optimistic.
Fortunately, the situation in the city was very good at this time, and tens of thousands of battalions surrounded the streets of Xuanwumen into iron barrels, and slowly advanced in front of the pikemen, constantly killing and killing the Tartar cavalry on the street.
"Sodokhan Khan, this is not the way to go, we must break through immediately, otherwise we will have to annihilate the whole army." Zhao Quan shouted hoarsely beside me.
The sound of gunfire and shouts of killing was so loud that it was hard to hear even if it was close without shouting.
I replied that at this time, I was already red-eyed, and roared angrily: "Jing is talking some, don't you see that the sons and daughters are desperately trying to grab the city? ”
Zhao Quan came to my ear and shouted: "Soduo Khan, the subordinates mean to give up the city and choose other directions to break through, the city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus the Ming army has arranged heavy guards, it is too difficult to take it, even if it is taken, our people are almost exhausted." ”
As the so-called word wakes up the dreamer, I replied blindly thinking about breaking out of the Xuanwu Gate, but ignoring the important point, the defensive force of the Ming army at the head of the city is the most powerful, it can be seen by looking at the sharp firearms that keep ringing, on the other hand, the Ming army surrounded by the Ming army, although there are many people, but there is not so strong fire support.
Realizing his mistake, he immediately and decisively adjusted his strategy, and led his own soldiers to turn around and kill in the north.
"Sons, follow Ben Khan to the north to break through!" With a wave of his scimitar, the Tartar cavalry in the street turned around and charged north.
To the north is the Shenwei Battalion and the Xianwu Battalion that have been surrounded from Anfufang, but when I saw two thousand pikemen in front of me, I looked at it, and the dense spears flashed with a fierce cold glow under the light of the torches, which made people's scalps tingle.
However, as the so-called dog jumped over the wall, the Tatar cavalry on the street was already cornered, and could only live to the death and fight desperately!
"Kill!" The Tatar cavalry, at the urging of Alta, fearlessly rushed to the pike.
Bang Peng......
Like moths to a fire, dozens of horsemen in the front row were poked to death under the guns on the spot, but the Ming army pikemen in the front row were not comfortable, the impact was too great, and dozens of people were shocked to vomit blood and fly out.
A wave of ...... Two Waves ...... Three waves!!
Under the repeated onslaught of the Tartar cavalry, the gun formations of the Shenwei Battalion and the Xianwu Battalion were loosened, and the formation was obviously beginning to be disorganized.
"Kill!"
Dozens of Tartar cavalry galloped up again, the speed became faster and faster, like a wild wave pouring down the mountains and seas, the Ming army pikemen in front showed an extremely frightened expression, and I don't know which cowardice turned around and fled first, this is broken, it instantly caused a domino effect, and all the pikemen collected their guns and fled.
This was a terrible thing, the Tartars threw a round, and the rain of arrows nailed a group of retreating pikemen on the spot, and then the cavalry swept by, directly cutting through the defense line of the Shenwei camp and the Xianwu camp.
I Da and Zhao Quan were overjoyed when they saw this, and shouted: "Chong, you want to live with Ben Khan!" ”
The Shenwei battalion and the Xianwu battalion were miserable, and they were rushed by the cavalry led by me, and they were suddenly scattered, with countless casualties, of course, the casualties of the Tartar cavalry were not light, only more than 2,000 people broke through, and the rest failed to escape, and were divided and surrounded by the Ming army.
On the top of the corner tower, Xu Jin saw that more than 2,000 horsemen broke out of the siege and went to Anfufang Street to kill, his face couldn't help but change slightly, Zhu Hou was so angry that he stomped his feet and scolded angrily: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable!" The Shenwei Camp and the Xianwu Camp are just rice buckets, and when they are angry, the boiled ducks can fly away! ”
Besides, I answered with more than 2,000 horsemen to break out of the encirclement, and rushed to Anfufang Street for his life, anxious like a frightened bird, panicked like a fish that slipped through the net!
The closest city gate to Anfufang Street is naturally Fucheng Gate, and I Da and Zhao Quan are planning to rush out of the city from Fucheng Gate. However, it was the brave battalion that was responsible for guarding Fuchengmen, because the British public Zhang Lun took away 3,000 brave people to rebel, so at this time, there were only about 1,000 people left to guard Fuchengmen.
As the so-called hundred secrets are sparse, Xu Jin has made thousands of calculations, but he actually missed this point, maybe this is also my answer to the fate!
However, just as I was fleeing to Fuchengmen Street, a cavalry suddenly came out of Xi'an Gate on the right-hand side and cut off the way.
As mentioned earlier, the Fucheng Gate is almost facing the Xi'an Gate of the Imperial City, and is guarded by Teng Xiang Zuowei, in order to clamp down on the British Gong Zhang Lun's brave battalion, after the British Gong Zhang Lun was captured, Teng Xiang Zuo Wei retreated to the Xi'an Gate of the Imperial City to continue to guard.
The commander of Teng Xiang Zuowei is called Niu Jihong, and after capturing the Ying Gong Zhang Lun, the eunuch Lai Yi returned to the palace to restore his life, so Teng Xiang Zuowei is now under the command of Niu Jihong.
Niu Jihong is more greedy for merit, hearing that there is a stream of Tartars breaking through to escape here, this thing suddenly became lively, when he learned that the Tartars who broke through only more than 2,000 horses, he even started to beat the water dogs, by the way to make a contribution.
So, Niu Jihong opened the gate of Xi'an and led more than 3,000 horsemen under his command, intending to intercept the rout of the army.
Besides, I answered, seeing that he was about to flee to Fuchengmen, he was suddenly intercepted by a cavalry, and he couldn't help but be surprised, thinking that the Ming army was still behind, but at this time, he didn't have time to think about it, and he took the lead in rushing to kill with his sword!
More than 2,000 Tatar cavalry were now trapped beasts that had been cornered, and they raised their sharp swords and killed Teng Xiang's left guard with a hideous expression.
Niu Jihong thought that there was a bargain to be made, but when he saw the crazy and violent Tartar cavalry in front of him, his smile slowly froze, and then turned into fear, but now he has become a tiger, and it is too late to retreat to Xi'anmen.
Niu Jihong could only bite the bullet and shout: "Brothers...... Yikes! ”
Niu Jihong screamed as soon as he shouted three words, and a powerful arrow hit his chest, falling off the horse on the spot~ Died on the spot!
Zhao Quan shot Niu Jihong, the commander of Teng Xiangwei, with an arrow, hung the bow casually, and then drew ~ out the long sword, and when the two armies approached, the long sword waved, and easily killed the two people.
Bang Peng......
The 3,000 Tengxiang left guards and the 2,000 Tatar cavalry collided, and almost collapsed at the touch of a button, and were killed to the point of being, and fled to Xi'an Gate one after another.
I replied that I was eager to flee for my life, and I had no intention of chasing and killing Teng Xiangwei, and was about to turn the horse's head to Fuchengmen, but Zhao Quan was moved in his heart, and pointed to the Xi'an Gate where Teng Xiangwei fled in: "Suo Duo Khan, that is Xi'an Gate, entering Xi'an Gate is the inside of the Imperial City, where the Wanshou Palace is located, and then it is Taiye Pool, through Taiye Pool is Xihua Gate, and attacking from Xihua Gate is the Forbidden City!" ”
My eyes flashed and said, "What does Mr. Zhao mean?" ”
Zhao Quan said happily: "As long as we attack the palace and arrest~ Jiajing and the Queen Mother, maybe we can turn defeat into victory!" ”
A flash of ecstasy flashed in my answer's eyes, today's defeat is not clear, and tens of thousands of cavalry have been lost, how can he be willing, if he can go straight ~ smash Daming's henchmen and turn defeat into victory, it can't be more wonderful!
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, he was originally a brave wolf, who came thousands of miles just to eat meat, such a great opportunity is in front of him, how can he let it go? On the spot, he clapped his hand and said: "Okay, the sons and daughters and Ben Khan entered the palace to capture the Ming Emperor and the Queen Mother alive!" ”
After I finished speaking, I took the lead, slapped my horse and pounced on the Xi'an Gate, and slashed a slow-running Teng Xiang guard into two with a wave of his sword.
At this time, Teng Xiang's left guard was completely chaotic, and was scrambling to flee into Xi'an Gate, so the city gate was also wide open, and two thousand Tartar cavalry chased all the way into Xi'an Gate!
It's bad now, it's just that people are not as good as heaven, no matter how careful the plan is, it is easy to have all kinds of accidents, and it is often not because of how strong the opponent is, but because there are pig teammates in their team!
Teng Xiang left back is undoubtedly a proper pig teammate!!
On the corner tower, Xu Jin has been paying attention to this Tartar cavalry breaking through with a monocular, and when he saw Teng Xiang Zuowei open the Xi'an Gate and go out to intercept it, he felt inappropriate, but the next scene made him even more frightened, and he couldn't help but explode directly!
Although Xu Jin understood that the combat power of the Tengxiang cavalry was far inferior to the Tartar cavalry, he didn't expect that it was just a face, and the Tengxiang left guard, who was superior in numbers, collapsed directly, and the most terrible thing was that these bastards didn't close the Xi'an Gate, and only cared about fleeing for their lives.
Xu Jin originally had a trace of luck in his heart, the Tartars would flee in a hurry, who would have thought that instead of choosing Fuchengmen to escape, the Tartars would directly enter Xi'an Gate, and the goal was self-evident!
"It's not good, the Tartars have entered the Xi'an Gate, big head, three shots!" Xu Jin shouted and rushed to the city, and Zhao Datou and Xie Sangun hurriedly led two hundred soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to rush down the city.
Jin Biao and Sima Yuan also led more than a thousand brocade clothes to catch up and rush straight to the palace!
Zhu Hou's face was also instantly pale as paper, and he lost his voice: "The queen mother is in danger, quickly, order Yu Linwei and Wei Jinwu to support Xihuamen quickly, !! ”
