At the critical moment when the Tartar cavalry entered Xuanwu Gate, Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houcong actually climbed the corner tower of the imperial city, and was wearing a bright yellow rolling dragon robe. Isn’t this a target for the Tartar archers?

Of course, Xu Jin could also understand Zhu Houcong's mood at this moment. The capital was besieged and the outer city was captured. This was undoubtedly a great humiliation for the Ming Dynasty, and it was even more unwashable for him, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, he had the opportunity to avenge his shame, so he naturally wanted to witness it with his own eyes.

In addition, the emperor personally visited the front line of the battlefield to watch the battle, which not only encouraged the morale of the Ming army, but also improved his own prestige. Just imagine, there is a record added to historical books after the Ming Dynasty:

On the seventh day of the 10th month of the fourth year of Jiajing, General Xu Jin of Pinghu made a plan and set up an ambush around Xuanwu Gate to lure Altan's troops into the city. The emperor personally visited the southwest corner of the imperial city, and all the troops were ups and downs in the blink of an eye. Altan's command was destroyed in the ashes...

Isn't it very ignited and long-faced to read this way?

So, Zhu Houcan came to find a place tonight. He was wearing a bright yellow rolling dragon robe and undoubtedly became more majestic and added to the sense of ritual. This also shows the young man's character. After all, this kid is less than nineteen years old this year.

At this time, Xu Jin, Yang Yiqing and Fei Hong had already come to Emperor Jiajing to salute, and the latter waved his hand and said, "Mr. Yang, Mr. Fei, Xu Qing is exempt from gifts!"

After Zhu Houcong said that, his eyes were already looking away. When he saw the Tartar cavalry who was driving straight into Xuanwu Gate, his face turned pale. The shock of thousands of troops roaring from him can only be experienced by being there.

At this time, the vanguard of the Tartar cavalry was about to reach the end of Xuanwumenli Street and was about to reach the intersection with Chang'an West Street. At this moment, the straight line distance from the head of the Imperial City was only two or three hundred meters.

Fei Hong hurriedly said, "This place is full of dangers. The emperor is a body of thousands of vehicles. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Please return to the palace quickly."

Yang Yiqing also said with a serious expression: "There is no sight to the sword and gun. Please go downstairs and leave it to the ministers and others."

Zhu Houcong came to find a place tonight. He wanted to see with his own eyes how the Tartars were imprisoned. He was reluctant to leave. He even asked Xu Jin for help.

Xu Jin coughed dryly and said, "The defense line set up by Mr. Yang, Mr. Fei, is firm. In addition, this place is above the city and is still a distance from the battlefield. It should be okay for the emperor to stay here. Moreover, the emperor personally visits the front line to supervise the battle, which is also conducive to boosting morale and cultivating the emperor's courage and courage."

Zhu Houcong nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice and said, "Yes, yes, what Xu Qing said is very true. It was common for Taizu Taizong to lead a large army to fight back then. What is it that I just watched the battle on the city tower? What if I want to become a heroic and talented hero like Taizu Taizong, how can I not sharpen it? Mr. Yang and Fei agree?"

Yang Yiqing and Fei Hong were speechless, and Zhu Houcong immediately stepped towards the corner tower without waiting for the two of them to answer. Xu Jin hurriedly followed and reminded: "If the emperor wants to stay on the city tower to watch the battle, it is best to take off the dragon robe."

Zhu Houcong was afraid that Yang Yiqing and Fei Hong would come again and immediately asked the palace servants to take off the dragon robe and replace it with a black big rope.

Seeing this, Yang Yiqing and Fei Hong could only smile bitterly. Well, this place was on the top of the imperial city. If the defense line set up by Xu Jin on the street could not be resisted, the emperor could also calmly withdraw to Da Nei.

At this moment, Emperor Jiajing, protected the guards' layers of shields and went to the female wall in front of the corner tower to watch the battle.

At this time, the vanguard of the Tatar cavalry finally arrived at the intersection of Chang'an West Street and Xuanwumenli Street. Xu Jin looked at it and found that there were about seven or eight thousand Tartar cavalry entering the city at this time, all of which were flooding the Xuanwumenli Street, and some were trying to attack the city of Xuanwumen...

"You can start!" Xu Jin ordered in a deep voice. To be on the safe side, Xu Jin only planned to eat about 10,000 Altan's riding horse. After all, he would not be able to chew too much, and he would swallow himself if he didn't do it well.

With Xu Jin's order, the flag soldiers on the corner tower set out to send out a signal of starting. Since it was at night, the signal was not in the flag language, but in the way of hanging lights. How many lights hung on the top of the corner tower meant an order.

At this time, two lamps were hung on the corner tower, indicating that the second step of the order was immediately implemented. The first step was to open the city gate and let the Tartars enter the city.

As soon as the lights on the corner tower were hung, the earth-shaking artillery fire roared!

At this time, the vanguard of the Tartar cavalry rushed to the intersection of Chang'an West Street and Xuanwumenli Street. At this time, they were shocked to find that the streets ahead, left and right were filled with deer antlers and horse-repellent horses, and solid fortifications were built with sandbags and debris. Behind the fortification in front, more than a dozen Flang machine cannons were driven, and the dark muzzles were aimed at them!

The vanguard of the Tartar cavalry was shocked to set their horses. Before they could send an alarm, the dozen or so Folang cannons were powerful...

boom……

A solid bullet roared, and the flesh and blood flew away instantly. The Tartar vanguard and his men and horses turned into a red rain of solid and liquid mixed with their bodies...

Boom boom boom boom...

The shells were shot after shot, like the arrival of hell, and the blood holes were smashed one after another in the dense team of Tartars.

Due to the width of the street, even if the front and back rows are arranged in a staggered manner, fifteen Flang cannons can be set up on the street, but this is already quite terrifying. You should know that Flang cannons are rear-loaded, with one shot with six sub-guns, and ninety shells can be shot in just a few minutes.

Moreover, fifteen Folang cannons were set up on the top of Xuanwumen City, and they were also aimed at Xuanwumenli Street, forming a north-south attack. In addition, the Tatar cavalry were all crowded on Xuanwumenli Street, with dense formations, and a large number of shells were killed.

Boom boom boom boom...

The north and south fired at the same time. In less than five minutes, nearly two hundred shells were smashed into the cavalry of the Tartars, and the explosion was full of holes, like Shura hell...

This wave of "head-head-tail cannons" blew the Tartar cavalry into the darkness on the spot, killing more than a thousand injured people directly. If the war horses were frightened and trampling on each other, there would be at least two or three thousand people.

At this time, Altan and Zhao Quan also entered the city. Seeing the situation in front of him, they were shocked and both knew that they had fallen into a trap. They hurriedly ordered to withdraw from the city. However, the formation was in chaos and the crowded people were trapped. How could it be easy to retreat?

On the corner tower, Zhu Houxiang's face turned red with a blushing smile and said, "Okay, good bang, Xu Qing, come again!"

Yang Yiqing and Fei Hong nodded in the beard. This wave of cannons shocked the Tartars, and they were really happy.

Xu Jin looked calm. He ignored the urging of Zhu Houguan and ordered the third lamp to be hung.

On the top of Xuanwu Gate, Wang Lin'er saw three lamps hanging on the corner tower and immediately shouted: "Chain the city gate!"

Minzhuang and the five cities' military officials had already prepared a lot, and they brought bricks, stones, and mixed trees to throw them under the city.

At this time, the Tartar cavalry outside the city were still rushing in, while the Tartars on the street were rushing out, in a dilemma. Stone bricks were smashed like raindrops, and countless people were killed instantly. Soon, a large number of bricks and sandbags near the city gate were blocked by a large number of bricks and sandbags, and they were unable to move forward or retreat.

"Pour oil!" Wang Lin'er shouted loudly, and buckets of turmeric oil poured down, making the streets near the city gate soaked.

"Light!" With a cold shout, soldiers threw the torches in their hands down the city, and the fire immediately ignited. A sea of ​​fire near the city gate was turned into a sea of ​​fire, and it was even more strange that people would not be close to it.

The Tartars were cut off from retreat, and in despair they even attacked the city crazily. In order to rescue their companions in the city, the Tartars outside also launched a crazy attack outside. For a moment, all the pressure was concentrated on the defenders at the Xuanwu Gate city.

The raucous waves were slapped at the head of Xuanchengmen, extremely tragic!

Xu Jin obviously also considered this situation, so he sent the most powerful Shenji Camp and Jiangxi Army to guard the city. In addition, the Jianwu Camp and Fenwu Camp, as well as Minzhuang, etc., the number was as high as 20,000.

Bang bang bang bang...

The gunshots kept rising and falling like firecrackers. The Shenji Camp and the Jiangxi Army firmly guarded the defense line and swept down the Tartars who were trying to rush to the city one by one. In just half an incense stick, the stone corpses on both sides of Xuanwu Gate accumulated like mountains, and blood washed all the cracks of the rocks.

Of course, there were many casualties and injuries on the Ming army, and the Tartars' archery skills were not vegetarians!

Boom boom boom boom...

The second round of the Fran machine cannon was in power, and the storm cavalry on the street made the Tartar cavalry overturn and flee with their heads in their arms!!

Altan and Zhao Quan roared in despair among the Tatar cavalry, urging their commanders to attack Xuanwu Gate's city with no chance. They all understood that if they wanted to survive tonight, they would have to take down the city, otherwise they would be dead.

At this time, there were about 10,000 cavalry of the Tartars trapped in the city, and there were 50,000 or 60,000 Taurus soldiers outside the city. Although the Shenji Camp and the Jiangxi Army were strong, there were only 6,000 people and 6,000 flintlock rifles. At this time, they were surrounded by nearly ten times the force, and the pressure could be imagined.

Fortunately, they occupied the geographical advantage, otherwise they would have been torn apart by the Tatar cavalry.

Xu Jin naturally understood that the pressure at Xuanwu Gate was huge, so after the second round of shelling, he decisively ordered the fourth lamp to be hung.

As soon as the fourth lamp on the corner tower was hung, the Jing camps that were ambushed after the fortifications moved away the debris, deer antlers and horses, and shouted and rushed towards Xuanwumenli Street.

Xu Jin transferred a total of eight battalions in the 12th Regiment to form an encirclement circle, with a total force of more than 30,000. At this time, looking from the corner tower, I saw torches all over the streets and alleys, and soldiers from alleys surrounded Xuanwumenli Street like a torrent. The scene was extremely shocking, even more than the so-called blockbusters.

Zhu Houcan was excited to see it, and patted the wall and said excitedly: "My great Ming army is so magnificent!"

Yang Yiqing stroked his beard and smiled, "The overall situation is settled!"
Chapter completed!
