Chaoyang Gate.

Chen Yi, the commander of the Beijing camp guarding the gate, looked at the fire in the distance.

At this time, all the city gates had been taken over by the Beijing camp. Each city gate was divided into three shifts to defend in turn. One shift was on duty, that is, patrolling and guarding the city walls, one shift was on guard, that is, resting in the Tibetan camp waiting for rotation, and one shift was really resting, that is, one shift was at his own home.

Each battalion has six hundred people.

Rotation every six hours.

At any time, there are always 200 soldiers who can directly enter the battle on the city wall, and 200 soldiers who can invest in support as soon as possible.

This number is the minimum limit to defending a city gate.

After all, such a city gate is very big. The main city gate and the gate on the urn city gate, as a huge arrow tower, as a defense support, all require a large number of soldiers. Two hundred people may not be able to use the arrow tower if they are fighting. However, the defense system at this time was not only dependent on them. There were countless Red Turban Army that could be mobilized at any time. As long as the city gate was attacked, these Red Turban Army would gather in the shortest time and then climb up to the city wall to defend their homes.

The real people are soldiers.

However, at this time, all the Red Turban Army in Sichengfang had rushed to put out the fire.

"Captain Chen, why haven't you gone to put out the fire yet!"

A familiar voice suddenly rang out.

Chen Yi turned to the south. At the entrance of the alley leading to Nanshui Pass, the eunuch Liu Chaozheng, the gatekeeper of Chaoyang Gate, walked over, followed by a group of monks, led by the head of Zhengyin Temple...

"Eunuch Liu, why are you here?"

Chen Yi said.

At this time, there were still eunuchs from all sects, and the keys were in charge of them.

However, these guys usually go back at night, so they are not interested in accompanying the soldiers to blow the wind on the city wall, and the keys are left directly.

"Our family is getting angry. I'm afraid of any accidents, so I came over and took a look. On the way, I happened to meet a master and a man to help put out the fire, so I came with them. Captain Chen, hurry up and let the brothers go over together. There's nothing wrong here."

Liu Chao said.

After saying that, he walked over directly.

The monks followed him, and the presiding of the Zhengyin Temple later paid tribute to Chen Yi.

"There are no shortages of these hundreds of people. The city gate is ultimately the responsibility."

Chen Yi returned home and said.

"That's true!"

Liu Chao smiled and stretched out his hand to him.

Chen Yi quickly untied the key from his waist and handed it over.

Liu Chao is the real custodian, so he will certainly give it to him when he comes now.

Liu Chao took it with a smile, but at the moment he took it, he suddenly grabbed Chen Yi's hand. Before Chen Yi could react, he suddenly flashed to the side. The host behind him also dodged by the side at the same time, and then the muzzle of a three-eyed gun appeared behind him. The next moment, flames spurted out there. Chen Yi, who was caught in his hand, had no time to dodge. The bullet hit his chest instantly, and he fell down with a look of astonishment.

Almost at the same time, dozens of three-eyed guns sprayed out flames at the same time in the hands of the monks who followed the presidency.

The soldiers beside Chen Yi were caught off guard and fell in large numbers amid the dense gunfire...

"Quick, seize the city gate!"

A roar sounded at the entrance of the alley behind.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of fully armed strong men rushed out of the alley with various weapons in their hands and rushed directly to the horse road that was climbing the city.

"Quickly, stop them!"

"Enemy attack!"

...

Accompanied by the chaotic shouts, the soldiers on the city wall who were still watching the fire woke up and quickly drew their swords to rush to the entrance of the horse road, especially those on the city tower, and then extended their muzzles. With the sound of shooting, the strong men who were hitting the horse road fell one after another. But these guys were obviously very brave, and there were obviously heavy armor under the monk's robe. They shouted up with long swords in their hands and quickly climbed up the city wall to fight fiercely with the defenders. Although the Beijing camp, which was in a hurry to fight tenaciously, was too small in number.

They really got onto the walls soon.

Liu Chao didn't care about this. He looked down at Chen Yi's eyes dying with his eyes closed, and then took the keys from him...

"Brother Chen, don't blame me!"

He said proudly.

Then he turned to look at the host...

"Master, thank you!"

He said.

"It is my duty to eliminate traitors for the country and save Your Majesty from danger."

The latter said with kind eyes.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Liu Chao smiled proudly.

Then he walked into the city gate hole and took the key to the city gate with the locked one in front.

Suddenly he stopped.

He raised his head as if instinctively. The next moment, accompanied by a strange sound, a black shadow suddenly fell. Eunuch Liu instantly lowered in a strange way like some images in an American cartoon. Then he turned into countless splashes of flesh and blood. His arm, which was still holding the key, also flew up at the two-ton high-speed drop, and then fell into the arms of a man in a green robe behind him...

The Censor Yuan Keli held Liu Chao's arm, and kept his instinctively leaning back, standing there trembling all over.

In front of him was the Qianjin Gate of Hengduan City Gate.

"Censor Yuan, Censor Yuan!"

A man behind him patted Yuan Keli on the shoulder and shouted at him.

Yuan Keli breathed a long sigh and threw away Liu Chao's arm in annoyance...

"Commander Horse, hurry up, launch the rocket!"

He said.

"Hurry, launch the rocket!"

Commander horse roared.

The soldiers outside immediately took out the signal rocket, then ignited the fuse, and the rocket quickly rushed straight into the sky with a sharp whistle.

"Fortunately, you loyal and righteous people are there!"

Yuan Keli looked at Commander Ma with emotion and said.

"Your Ma Shi, you are polite. After all, my Ma family is still the hereditary Jinyiwei and has received the emperor's kindness. Now, at this time, of course we have to fight the thief to the end and let this dog continue to do it. The Ming Dynasty is really over. Any loyal minister and righteous man who believe in is incompatible with him, but what should we do next?"

Commander Ma said.

"Come on the Qianjin Gate quickly, Li Rumei's army should arrive!"

Yuan Keli said.

After saying that, he walked over and picked up the key from Liu Chao's hand.

At this time, in the wilderness outside the city, the deputy envoy of the Shandong Censorate, Yang Hao, was suppressing his excitement, watching the rockets rising above the capital...

"General Ziqing, you will be granted the title of marquis today!"

He said.

Li Rumei, who was beside him, pulled out her knife and turned to look at the cavalry waiting behind him...

"Brothers, the city gate is opened, and you will get two hundred taels of silver for each person!"

He yelled.

The cavalry behind were roaring excitedly.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Hao and Li Rumei activated their war horses at the same time, and led three thousand elite cavalrymen to violently hit Chaoyang Gate ahead. It was only four miles away. The cavalry charged at full speed arrived almost in a blink of an eye. They rushed straight to the small bridge across the moat. But just as they were about to rush across the bridge, ten flames that were obviously muzzles suddenly spurted out, and dense shotguns immediately hit the cavalry...

"Damn it, haven't they opened the city gate?"

Looking at this scene, the lagging behind Li Rumei roared angryly.
