Chen Yue and Li Banghua discussed properly, called the iron lion, and asked him to take the right battalion to help defend Zhengyangmen. Behind Zhengyang Gate is Qipan Street, where there are many yamen in the imperial court, which must be the focus of the thief's attack, and you must defend it to buy time for yourself.

"My lord, where are you going?" The Iron Lion asked suspiciously.

Chen Yue glanced at Li Banghua, saw him shaking his head slightly, and said: "I will take the personal guard battalion on Qipan Street, and I will reinforce wherever it is tight." ”

The iron lion nodded, the guard battalion is full of cavalry, and there is nothing wrong with using it as a reserve.

"Your Excellency!" Seeing Chen Yue turn around to leave, the iron lion couldn't help but shout.

"How?" Chen Yue smiled and turned back and asked.

Looking at the resolute expression on Chen Yue's face, the iron lion hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "It's okay, my lord, be careful." ”

Chen Yue nodded and turned around.

"My lord, his family is all in the city, he must have gone home to collect his family." Henchman Lu Dayou said in the ear of the iron lion.

"Big brother, we can't hesitate any longer, otherwise how will you explain to King Chuang! Now that Chen Yue is gone, it is better, here is your biggest! ”

The iron lion nodded, but his heart was very heavy for some reason.

The north of Zhengyang Gate is the Daming Gate, through the Daming Gate to the north is the Chengtian Gate, and the Chengtian Gate is the Imperial Palace. Daming Gate is not a city tower like Zhengyang Gate Chengtian Gate, it is a brick and stone structure building with a single eaves resting on the top of the mountain. There is a tablet of dismounting outside the door, to this civil official dismounts the sedan chair military attache dismounts, inside the door is the royal road, except for the emperor, the queen, the queen mother's dragon car and phoenix, others can only walk through. The middle door can only be opened when the emperor, the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen can be opened, and the others take the side door.

Of course, the cavalry of the brigade could not pass through the Daming Gate, and they were all left in the square outside the gate. After Chen Yue got off the horse, he thought about it for a while, called Chen Yan, and asked him to lead people to his home on Xuanwumen Street quickly, and bring his father Chen Jianghe and Wu Wan'er and others, as long as they received Chongzhen and others, they would forcibly break out of Beijing, and their families could not stay here.

He also instructed Yu Feng and other generals to stay here and not listen to the orders of anyone other than themselves, even if it was to break into the inner city! Now the command system of the Ming army is extremely chaotic, and the nine gates of the inner city are defended by civilian officials and eunuchs respectively, and the orders are different, maybe someone will want to pull this team away to other city gates to assist in defense.

After the arrangements were made, Chen Yue followed Li Banghua through the Daming Gate through the side door, and walked towards the Chengtian Gate along the thousand-step corridor on the left.

Before Li Banghua left, Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, came here, and he was in charge of the defense of Zhengyangmen together with the eunuch Gao Shiming.

Seeing Chen Yue leave with the cavalry of the personal guard battalion, the iron lion made a look, and Lu Da walked to the middle of the soldiers of the right battalion with understanding, and began to connect with the iron lion's henchmen.

In the past few months, the soldiers of the right battalion have been controlled by the iron lion alone from training to promotion, coupled with the iron lion's strong martial arts, boldness, and fairness, he is deeply loved by the soldiers of the right battalion, and the prestige of the right battalion is not under Chen Yue. In addition, the more than 40 of Iron Lion's original subordinates have become officers at all levels, which makes him control the army like a command.

Lu Dayou went to control the army, and the iron lion himself walked towards Zhang Jinyan, the supreme commander of Zhengyangmen and the secretary of the military department.

Zhang Jinyan was discussing defense with Gao Shiming at the head of the city, when he suddenly saw an officer walking towards him, and he could see from the armor that it was Chen Yue, the governor of Tianjin, and he motioned for his subordinates to let him go.

"What do you have to say?" Zhang Jinyan barely raised his eyes to look at the iron lion, that is, he was willing to say a few words to such a middle-level officer when he was employing people now.

"Lord Zhang, now that the Dashun army has invaded the outer city, it will soon attack Zhengyangmen. Da Ming's qi has been exhausted, rather than stubbornly defending the jade and burning, it is better to open the city to meet the Dashun army, so that it can also save the life of glory and wealth. The iron lion stood at the head of the city, staring at Zhang Jinyan's eyes and said slowly.

"You, who are you? Want to rebel or not? Zhang Jinyan was taken aback, his body hurriedly retreated, and several guards beside him pulled out their knives, blocked in front of him, and looked at the iron lion viciously.

"Hahaha, a certain is the commander of the right battalion of the Xishan Army Iron Lion, but there is another identity, which is Hao Shaoqi, the general of the Dashun Army." The iron lion laughed out loud, he was ordered by Li Zicheng to infiltrate Beijing, and he was fighting the idea of attacking Beijing in the future.

For Li Zicheng a year ago, he had just broken through Kaifeng and occupied most of Henan, and he didn't expect things to be as smooth as now.

The iron lion came to Beijing, met Chen Yue by chance, joined the Xishan Army, and with Chen Yue to Tianjin, he thought that his task could not be completed, who knew that Chen Yue took him to Beijing to Qinwang. Now, the Dashun army has entered the outer city, as long as he opens the Zhengyangmen gate, Beijing will be broken, so he can be regarded as having completed the task.

"Ahh Zhang Jinyan's heart sank, and then there was endless fear, the thief's spies had already entered the inner city, how should this be?

"Since you are a thief and a thief, what about Chen Yue?" Zhang Jinyan asked desperately.

"Alas, Lord Chen, he doesn't know the current affairs, and he still thinks about being able to defend Beijing at this time, it's a pity!" The Iron Lion shook his head and sighed.

"Lord Zhang, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is too late for the Ming Dynasty, so order the city gate to be opened and surrender." In addition to more than 1,000 of his own right battalions in this city, there are many other Ming troops, if Zhang Jinyan can be persuaded to let him open the city gate, there will be no need to fight, the soldiers will not have to go through the bloodless battle to welcome the Dashun army.

"Bastard, come on, kill this thief's spy!" Gao Shiming, the eunuch who had been listening quietly beside him, suddenly shouted at the top of his voice, and with his words, several brocade guards came towards the iron lion with sharp blades in their hands.

The iron lion snorted coldly, waved the thick mace in his hand, and smashed the killing brocade guards to the ground one by one. Looking at the bloody brocade guard on the ground, Gao Shiming screamed and turned around and ran, the iron lion raised his hand and threw out the mace, the thick stick head was hitting Gao Shiming's heart, and a crisp "crunch" sound came, and I don't know how many bones were broken by the mace.

Looking at Gao Shiming, who was twitching on the ground with blood spraying wildly, the muscles on Zhang Jinyan's face twitched, and a strong fear surged into his heart, making him almost unable to control his body, a sense of urine couldn't help but gush up, and the crotch of his pants was hot, and a warm liquid flowed down his thighs.

"Your Excellency, can you give the order to surrender?" The iron lion appeared in front of Zhang Jinyan with a demonic smile, and Zhang Jinyan nodded blankly.
