Chapter 22

The head general of the Tatar in the east was already unhappy and was very dissatisfied with the fact that the battle had not ended for such a long time.

At this time, a lieutenant came in and asked them to go to rescue immediately.

"What did you say? You say it again?" the chief general stood up in shock and asked at the captain.

"General, the Ming army has used new weapons and is powerful. Our soldiers are simply unreliable. Even saying that it is difficult to organize an attack. Now, we have suffered huge casualties! Please go to rescue!" The captain knelt down and said.

"Where is the great prince?" the chief general of the Tatar continued to ask.

"I don't know, it's too messy inside, and the soldiers were all broken up. With the Ming army blocked the exit, I still came over the mountains!" The captain continued to bow and said.

"Come here, order 5,000 people for me and kill them with me!" The Tatar general shouted loudly, and then walked outside, and the captain followed.

At this moment, a lot of people came at the entrance of the palace, five of the six ministers came, many officials from the Ministry of War also arrived, as well as some ministers from the cabinet, etc.

They were at the gate of the palace, hoping that the emperor could order the palace gate to open, let them enter inside, and discuss with the emperor.

But the guard at the door heard news that the emperor said that no one would see tonight.

"How can we not see each other? Now there are fighting outside, maybe the Tatars attacked! Why not see such a big thing?" Xu Jie said anxiously at this moment.

The explosions outside are still continuing, and it is difficult for them to sleep peacefully.

"Well, what's going on? Do you know the Ministry of War?" Lu Ben said as he looked at several officials from the Ministry of War.

They didn't know that no one reported to them now. Besides, the one who commanded the defense of the capital was their Shangshu.

"Don't worry, the Tatars did not attack the city, but our Ming army went out!" Yan Song saw that the officials were so anxious, so he spoke.

"Get out? This... isn't this nonsense? Who is so bold?" Xu Jie shouted angrily when he heard this.

"Didn't I communicate yesterday? The Tatars are going to withdraw in the past two days. Why do we have to make trouble? Isn't it messy enough?" Lu Ben said anxiously.

"It's the British Duke. Didn't the British Duke keep clamoring to fight? I guess he will fight outside!" Yan Song said to those people again.

"I want to participate in him, how can I have such a lack of overall view? Will he be happy to force Tatars to capture the capital? He knows the combat capabilities of the soldiers in the capital best, and he still has to attack rashly?" Lu Ben was also very angry at this moment. He was originally a good man, but he was so angry that he was surrounded by Yan Song.

"Ge Lao Yan, why did the British Duke go out of the city to fight? Who gave him the order? I believe he dare not disobey!" At this time, Duke Wei Xu Pengju asked.

Xu Pengju is Zhang Rong's father-in-law. Now that he heard Yan Song say this, and the minister said he wanted to participate in him, he would have to ask about it.

"This... he has been asking to go out of the city to fight. I don't know the specific matter yet!" Yan Song hesitated for a moment. He couldn't say that it was Ding Rukui's words. If this is the case, Zhang Rong was ordered to fight, so he would not blame him for going up to his head.

However, once Zhang Rong dies, there is no evidence of death. At that time, it will be said that Zhang Rong goes out of the city to fight without authorization.

"Hmph, it's impossible. I don't know who my son-in-law is. How can a cautious person make such a mistake? Say, is it the order you gave or the order Ding Rukui gave!" Xu Pengju didn't believe it at all, staring at Yan Song and questioning.

The others also looked at Yan Song at this moment.

"How could I give orders? Ding Rukui wouldn't have given such an order. He knew that he couldn't beat him and still wanted them to fight. Isn't this let them die?" Yan Song said without blushing.

When the others heard this, they nodded. No one could give such an order, only Zhang Rong could go out of the city to fight without authorization.

"Boom boom boom!" The explosion outside continued.

At this moment, Yan Song was thinking about how the explosion came about. The red-clothed cannons in the city obviously did not fire. Moreover, it has been almost an hour since Zhang Rong fought out and was still persisting. I heard that Zhang Rong brought about 5,000 people out, how could he last for so long?

However, if you come back alive, you will be in trouble and the matter will be exposed. I just don’t know if Ding Rukui has gone to pick up the city defense in the north. If you take it, Zhang Rong will not be able to come back then.

"Lu Fang!" At this time, Jiajing suddenly shouted in the elixir room of Yuxi Palace.

"Your Majesty, I am here!" Lu Fang hurriedly trotted over.

"It's been an hour?" Jiajing asked.

"Yes, it's been an hour. Now it's still exploding outside. I guess the British Duke is still fighting!" Lu Fang nodded immediately and said.

"Okay, okay!" Jiajing nodded, and as he said, he was about to come down. Lu Fang hurriedly supported him.

"I have been persisting for an hour and have not been completely wiped out. Even if Zhang Rong was defeated in this battle, he was still honored even though he was defeated. He led 5,000 people out. Facing tens of thousands of Tatars outside the city, it would be great if he could last until this time!" Jiajing said solemnly at this moment, with more hope in his heart. Zhang Rong had told him before that the victory or defeat was 55%!

"Yes, Your Majesty, are you going to rest for a while? It's already very late now!" Lu Fang stood there and suggested to Jiajing.

"Let's wait, it's going to dawn in less than 2 hours?" Jiajing shook his head and asked.

"Yes, it will be dawn for only one and a half hours!" Lu Fang nodded and said.

"Okay, then I'll wait a little longer!" When Jiajing heard this, he started walking with his hands behind his back, unable to sleep.

After all, now we are fighting outside, and we are also ministers whom we trust.

"Your Majesty, many ministers outside are waiting for you to summon you, are they here? Do you want to meet?" Lu Fang asked as she looked at Jiajing.

"No, I don't see you. Go and ask them to see if they impeached Zhang Rong?" Jiajing said sneeringly at Lu Fang.

"This!" Lu Fang hesitated for a moment and dared not answer.

"Well, that's fine, so when you collect their opinions, ask them what's wrong with me, saying that I'm resting, and you need to convey anything on your behalf." Jiajing thought for a while and said to Lu Fang.

"Yes, I'll go now!" When Lu Fang heard him say this, he turned around and went out.

After a while, the explosions outside became less and less. Jiajing couldn't help but go to the back door again and wanted to see it, but it was impossible to see it here. Jiajing began to get angry, thinking whether Zhang Rong and the others would all die for their country.

"Hey!" Jiajing sighed and walked back to the Danfang, feeling confused.

At this time, Lu Fang also came back.

"But Impeach Zhang Rong?" Jiajing asked as he looked at Lu Fang.

"Return to the emperor, it is indeed true that they said that the British Duke went out of the city to fight without authorization, and he would anger the Tatars at that time. I don't know how to withdraw from the siege!" Lu Fang stood there and said honestly.

"Ha, the rescue of my capital depends on when the Tatars will withdraw from the siege? Well? Is this my minister of the Ming Dynasty?" Jiajing sneered and asked after hearing this.

How dare Lu Fang speak? All fools know that Jiajing was dissatisfied with those ministers.

"Listen, there is no explosion outside, Zhang Rong may have died in battle. They are not going to let it go? Well, will they still be impeached?" Jiajing said with great grief.

Lu Fang kept standing there with her head down.

At this moment, in the woods to the north, a slight horse rode to Zhang Rong's side: "General, the Tatar soldiers in the east have reinforced, all of which are cavalry, about 5,000."

"Okay!" Zhang Rong was full of confidence at this moment!

There are not many Tatar soldiers here, and some Tatar soldiers have even gone inside. Now Zhang Hao is chasing him. At this time, the Tatar reinforcements have arrived, so why don’t Zhang Rong be excited?

"Come on, put the tripod in front of us, and in addition, cut down the trees and cut down the big trees to prevent the Tatar cavalry from charging!" Zhang Rong shouted loudly.

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately followed suit and started to work hard. Now the soldiers are very excited and are no longer tired from throwing grenades.

After a while, Zhang Hao returned here.

"Dad, the Tatar reinforcements are here?" Zhang Hao asked to Zhang Rong.

"Well, here we come, Hao'er, are you injured?" Zhang Rong looked at Zhang Hao happily and asked.

"No, I'm going to hit them right here. I'll take advantage of the evening to let them not know our background and deal with them hard. Dad, which reinforcements are there?" Zhang Hao asked excitedly at this moment.

"On the east!" Zhang Rong replied.

"How many people have come?" Zhang Hao continued to ask.

"About 5,000 people!" Zhang Rong continued to answer.

"Okay, dad, after killing them, we will attack the Tatars' Dongda camp and kill them!" Zhang Hao shouted happily when he heard this.

Now they still have a lot of grenades, and they can continue to attack.

"Do you still have to fight?" Zhang Rong heard this and was stunned for a moment.

"Dad, why don't you keep them if you don't fight? You don't believe it. After this battle, the Tatars' army besieged the capital will soon retreat. It's not easy to find them again!" Zhang Hao looked up at Zhang Rong and said.

"Well, that's right, then let's see. If the soldiers are not tired, continue to fight!" Zhang Rong heard this and felt that it made sense, so he would definitely fight.

At this moment, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from a distance, and the ground was a little vibrating.

"Get ready!" The captain on Zhang Rong's side immediately shouted loudly.

The soldiers raised their shields, and the soldiers who threw the grenades were ready to start throwing the grenades.
