At this time, on the wall of the urn city of Dongzhimen, a white flag was suddenly erected, and then it began to be shaken back and forth.

Qiu Qinghui was holding a telescope at this time, opening one eye and closing the other, his eyes were sore, and he was always observing the movement on the city wall around the city gate.

Just now he saw that there seemed to be some commotion on the city wall, but he never saw the agreed signal, and after such a long wait, he himself felt a little impatient.

Is this information accurate? Will the gates be opened? As time passed, Qiu Qinghui felt that his heart was becoming more and more bottomless, and his feelings began to become a little anxious.

It wasn't until he saw the white flag erected on the city wall in the telescope that Qiu Qinghui breathed a long sigh of relief, threw the telescope to the guards, and shouted: "Follow Lao Tzu!" ……”

The two infantry brigades, with seven infantry battalions totaling nearly 10,000 people, let out a shout in unison after receiving Qiu Qinghui's order, followed Qiu Qinghui's back, and rushed towards Dongzhimen.

Nearly 10,000 people almost shouted in unison, just like a rolling thunder sounded on the ground, and the crowd rushed towards Dongzhimen like a huge wave.

This time there was no cannon sound of counterattack on the city, but there were some panicked shouts and scolding, when the Yu family army under the leadership of Qiu Qinghui, rushed to a distance of hundreds of steps away from the Dongzhi Gate gate, the city gate was suddenly opened from the inside, and about dozens of people rushed out of the city on horseback, rushing straight towards the Yu family army.

The people on the distant horses are holding a riding spear, but they are helping a white cloth on the riding spear, and after approaching, you can see that each of them has a white cloth wrapped around their arms, which is very eye-catching, and the leader is a Ming army general wearing fish scale armor, tall and strong, with a beard, and looks quite powerful.

Qiu Qinghui rode his horse and brought some guards to meet him, both sides grabbed the reins of the horses at a distance of more than ten distances, and controlled the horses, Qiu Qinghui hugged his fists on the back of the horse and hugged his fists to the Ming army general on the opposite side and asked loudly: "Is General Gao on the other side?" ”

"It's down there! It's General Qiu? The general of the Ming army answered loudly with his fists in reply, and asked rhetorically.

"It's down there! General Gao Yi! Qiu thanked General Gao on behalf of our marshal! This is not the place to talk, what is the situation inside? Qiu Qinghui asked loudly.

"Gao's soldiers have already controlled the city gate and the urn city, but there are still some officers and soldiers in the city who are unwilling to open the city and surrender, and now they are trying to fight back and recapture the city gate, without further ado, General Qiu hurriedly led his troops into the city! Let's talk about it after entering the city! Gao Minghui looked anxious, at this time, there were several defenders' cannons on the city wall in the distance suddenly fired, and the cannonballs whistled and smashed into the Yu family army outside the city near the city gate, and immediately opened two blood alleys in the Yu family army, killing and wounding some of the soldiers of the Yu family army.

Gao Minghu's face tightened, and he turned his head and scolded angrily: "That's the people under Gao Qiqian's command who refuse to open the city!" General Qiu quickly entered the city! If it's late, I'm afraid the city gate will be lost! ”

Qiu Qinghui nodded, and once again gave Gao Minghu a fist salute on horseback: "Thank you General Gao for your righteous action!" Let's talk about it after entering the city! ”

After saying that, Qiu Qinghui wanted to urge the war horse and lead the army to rush over from Gao Minghu's side, but at this time, Gao Minghu's face tightened again, and suddenly shouted: "General Qiu is slow, and listen to Gao's words!" Gao Mou and your ministry said in advance, Yu Dashuai's soldiers and horses can enter the city, but after entering the city, they must not harm the current saint, otherwise, even if Gao Mou is a ghost, he will never let you go! ”

Qiu Qinghui immediately replied: "General Gao, please rest assured, my marshal has strictly ordered me to wait, and we must not disturb the people after entering the city, kill innocents indiscriminately, and not attack the palace!" As long as the defenders in the city do not resist, then the Yu family army will guarantee their safety! As for the emperor, we are here this time to be the king of Qin, the side of the king, and we will not embarrass the current saint! ”

Gao Minghu gritted his teeth, nodded heavily, and shouted loudly at Qiu Qinghui again: "That's good!" I, Gao, believe General Qiu this time! A qiē please! ”

At this time, the artillerymen of Yujia's army outside the city could not bear it anymore, and when they saw that there was a place in the city to start bombarding their brothers in Yujia's army, the officer immediately ordered to open fire.

Dozens of artillery cannons of the brigade artillery began to roar in an instant, dozens of shells flew over the heads of the Yu family army outside the city, and smashed heavily into several positions on the city wall that were firing, almost instantly drowning the artillery that fired in those places, and the bricks and stones on the city wall flew wildly, and the screams kept ringing, and a few cannons that had just fired were completely dumbfounded in almost a moment.

Qiu Qinghui followed Gao Minghu, led a large number of Yujia soldiers, roared and rushed to the Dongzhi Gate, Dongzhi Gate at this time the city gate of the urn city had already been opened, guarded by a group of officers and soldiers with white cloth wrapped around their arms, the vanguard greeted them, under their call, immediately rushed into the urn city.

In order to prevent Gao Minghu from cheating, the first batch to enter the city is the two companies selected in advance, which can be regarded as a group of dead soldiers, once it is Gao Minghu to cheat, these two companies rush into the urn city, there will be a great risk, it is very likely to be caught in the ambush of the official army urn, and the whole army will be annihilated.

So they carried the burden of pathfinding, each of them clutched the weapon in his hand, and the sword and brand bearers around them held their shields high to cover the brothers around them.

Rushing into the urn city, they saw that the inner city gate was also wide open at this time, and the two company commanders who led the team were slightly relieved, and led the troops to rush directly to the inner city gate without stopping, dividing the troops of two platoons, taking over the city gate of the urn city, and sending a signal to the follow-up troops.

Qiu Qinghui then ordered the follow-up main force to start entering the urn city, and after a short time, the vanguard took control of the urn city, and rushed into the inner city gate, taking over the defense of the inner city gate, Gao Minghu led his subordinates, and handed over the defense of the urn city and the inner city gate to the Yu family army, so that the Yu family army completely controlled the inner and outer city gates.

At this time, a group of officers and soldiers were very close to the city gate, attacking the city gate, trying to recapture the city gate, as soon as the soldiers of the Yu family army rushed into the city gate, they immediately began to take over those Gao Minghu's personal soldiers, and began to withstand the counterattack of this group of officers and soldiers.

After hearing the sound of a shocking dense musket, the group of officers and soldiers who were desperately attacking the city gate were instantly knocked down.

As soon as this group of officers and soldiers saw that the Yu family army had entered the city and was killed and wounded, even though the hall was scattered, as more and more Yu family troops rushed into the city, the battalion commanders immediately began to disperse in accordance with Qiu Qinghui's prior order, and a group of people immediately took control of the area inside the city gate, and went up to the city wall, attacking both sides of the city wall, repelling those officers and soldiers who did not surrender, controlling the longer city wall, and completely controlling the horse roads and stairs on the city wall.

The two battalions of the 7th Brigade, under the leadership of a battalion commander, went directly along the city wall and attacked towards Chaoyangmen without saying a word.

As for Qiu Qinghui, after a short conversation with Gao Minghu in the city gate, the two sides agreed on some things, Gao Minghu led his soldiers to evacuate the area around the city gate, rest in the predetermined place, and not participate in the rest of the operation.

Qiu Qinghui immediately led the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade to rush all the way along the street and rushed in the direction of the palace.

"Oh no! The rebels have stormed the city! Run! ……”

"Big things are wrong! Gao Minghu judged the enemy! Dongzhi Gate is broken! ……”

All kinds of panicked shouts rang out, and many officers and soldiers immediately began to flee in all directions when they heard the news.

Some of the generals fled into the city and reported everywhere, but Qiu Qinghui did not hesitate to lead the generals of the Fourth Brigade under his command to roll through the streets like a whirlwind and rush towards the palace.

And these Yu family troops entered the Beijing Division, many people turned a little, the vast majority of them have never entered a big city of this scale, all kinds of streets, and all kinds of luxurious buildings, making them a little dizzy, if it weren't for the sea wolf lurking in the Beijing Division in advance to lead the way, it is estimated that they can't even find the imperial city anywhere, they have been completely dizzy.

Some scattered officers and soldiers along the way also tried to block the Yujia army's attack towards the imperial city, but in front of the guns of the Yujia army, their resistance was insignificant, and in front of the muskets, every qiē martial arts was ineffective.

In addition, although the Yu family army attacked the city, putting the Beijing division under martial law, and everyone was in danger, but in the Beijing division, they were not ready to break the city, and there were not enough reserve troops left in the city, let alone obstacles such as barricades were set up in advance.

In addition, the discipline of the Yu family army was strict, and after entering the city, the generals under the leadership of Qiu Qinghui were like an arm, and the officers of each battalion also performed their duties and acted in strict accordance with the order, and everyone rushed down the street towards the imperial city like a tide.

Although they passed through a lot of very luxurious buildings and courtyards such as yamen along the way, because Qiu Qinghui's order was to go straight to the imperial city, the soldiers of the Yu family would turn a blind eye to these luxurious buildings and facilities along the way, as long as no one stopped them, then even if they saw that the doors of some courtyards were open, no one dared to break in and loot without permission, but followed the officers to fly forward.
