Chapter 34 I am the emperor, open the door!
"No, Your Majesty, absolutely no!"

Zhang Fu hurriedly stopped him, and persuaded: "Once the city gate is opened, the blood of the soldiers these days will be shed in vain!"

Of course Zhu Qizhen knew what it meant to open the city gate, but how could he turn a blind eye to those Ming people who were being driven and tortured by the Wala people under the city wall?
He took a deep breath and said with a serious face: "I am the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and I ask you to open the city gate now!"

"Your Majesty, you can't open it!"

Zhang Fu knelt down directly, and Chen Ying and others also stepped forward to dissuade them. They didn't ignore life, they just had the mentality of choosing the lesser of two evils. After all, the importance of these refugees is far less than that of the soldiers guarding the city. , let alone be compared with a city gate.

"You are the British Duke of Daming!" Zhu Qizhen pointed at the people under the city, and said firmly, "Your salary, the fat of the people, the anointing of the people, your duty is to protect the people of Daming from foreign enemies. If they were slaughtered by the enemy, if they were ignored, how could the Qing family be worthy of the title of Duke?"

"Old minister... death to death!"

Zhang Fu was scolded by Zhu Qizhen, and he was immediately ashamed.

Zhu Qizhen drew out the long sword at his waist again, and shouted: "Preach my will, open the city gate!"

This time, there was a cold light in his eyes, showing the majesty of the Ming Emperor.

Under the might of God, the officials finally stopped insisting.

The gate of Badaling Chengguan opened slowly, and the captured people under the city suddenly saw hope and ran forward desperately.

How could the Oirats let these people go? They immediately raised their butcher knives and bows, and wantonly slaughtered these unarmed prisoners.

In fact, the Oirats didn't come to attack the city when they went back and forth. Their purpose this time was just for revenge.

Exit the Great Wall, Paul is dead!

These eight words are not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

First of all, he was a man who must take revenge. He was ridiculed by the Ming army, how could he swallow this breath, so he sent three thousand cavalry to drive out the five thousand captives who plundered along the road. He wanted to kill all of these people in front of the Ming army. A massacre!

I can't beat you, but I can kill your people!

But they never expected that the Ming army opened the city gate.

The people rushed to the city gate like crazy, and the Oirats chased after them, and one after another, their fresh lives fell in a pool of blood.

Judging by the situation, no one could reach the gate of the city alive.

On the city wall, Zhu Qizhen's teeth were almost broken.

"Li Zhen!"

Xiangcheng Bo Li Zhen stepped forward immediately: "The minister is here!"

"Three thousand battalions are assembled!"

"Yes!"

In this battle to defend the city, the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion were the main forces, and the main task of the Three Thousand Battalion was to defend the city gate.

As the order to assemble was delivered, only the noise of people and horses was heard, and the three thousand soldiers were ready immediately.

"Report to the emperor, the [-] battalion has been assembled!"

Zhu Qizhen got off the city wall, stepped on his horse, and came to the front of the battle.

He glanced at the formation, and suddenly asked: "Can you ride a horse?"

"meeting!"

Three thousand soldiers shouted in unison.

"Do you have a sword in your hand?"

"Have!"

"That's good!" Zhu Qizhen raised the dragon-patterned sword in his hand and said loudly, "Come out with me and kill the enemy!"

hum!
The crowd immediately exploded. Everyone thought that the emperor was here to cheer everyone up. Unexpectedly, he would personally lead the team out to kill the enemy.

Li Zhen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, let me go! You are the commander in chief, you should stay and preside over the overall situation!"

Zhu Qizhen didn't hesitate at all, pulled the reins, and the horse ran towards the city gate neighing.

Fan Zhong didn't have time to think about it, and immediately chased after him.

Li Zhen didn't dare to hesitate, and followed closely behind.

Then, there are the soldiers of the [-] Battalion.

When these people left the city gate, Zhang Fu realized something was wrong.

Where is the emperor?
Looking down, he saw that Zhu Qizhen was already outside the city.

He thought he was dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes, but when he looked again, it was really the emperor!
"emperor!"

Zhang Fu is going crazy, what are you doing?
Not only Zhang Fu, Kuang Ye, Chen Ying, Luo Tong...all of them went crazy.

You let the city gate open, we opened it, and you asked the Three Thousand Battalion to go out to save people, and we agreed, but why did you run out by yourself?

Zhang Fu felt his mind was blank, and subconsciously walked down, planning to chase him out.

Suddenly, a voice came from under the city.

"Your Excellencies accept the order!"

Zhang Fu turned around and saw that Zhu Qizhen reined in his horse and stood still, looking up at him.

He hurriedly knelt down and worshiped, and said in his mouth: "The minister waits to welcome the imperial decree!"

The others followed suit and knelt down to salute.

Zhu Qizhen said loudly: "Except for the [-] Battalion, everyone is not allowed to leave the city gate! When I am away, the British Duke will lead the whole army. Wangqing's family considers the overall situation in everything, and don't act on your will!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his horse's head and rushed up to meet the refugees and Oirats.

On the city wall, Zhang Fu was taken aback for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "I obey the order!"

Kuang Ye said anxiously: "Prince Ying, don't be dazed, send troops quickly, or it will be too late!"

But Zhang Fu asked back: "Didn't you hear what the emperor said just now?"

"But, the emperor is still outside!"

Zhang Fu said angrily: "You want the old man to resist the order?"

"It's this time, and you still think about your own head?" Kuang Ye was also angry, and said loudly, "If the emperor makes any mistakes, even if we have a hundred heads, it won't be enough!"

Zhang Fu sighed, and said, "Master Kuang, this old man is not cherishing his old life. You can see for yourself that the emperor is going out with three thousand battalions. The cavalry is fast and flexible. If this old man goes out with five battalions for support, At that time, it will become a drag on the emperor!"

Of course Kuang Ye understood this truth, although he was impatient, he had no choice but to give up.

Under the city wall, Zhu Qizhen personally led the army to rush over. The Wala people never thought that the Ming army would dare to go out and fight back. They were caught off guard for a while, and they stopped pestering the captives immediately, but raised their knives to kill the Ming army. .

The two sides quickly became entangled. When the people saw the officers and soldiers coming out to rescue them, they immediately saw hope again and rushed towards the city gate while the two sides were fighting.

Now it is three thousand against three thousand, cavalry against cavalry. It stands to reason that the Oirats are good at riding and shooting, so they should have the upper hand. The fight was defeated steadily.

Zhu Qizhen took the lead, holding a sword in his hand and fighting fiercely, beheading several people in a row, which was unstoppable.

In fact, it was Fan Zhong who stood by his side, and if an enemy approached, he would hit him with a hammer first.

This person's arms are extremely strong, and if he is hit by his hammer, he will either die or be injured. Even if he can barely parry, his arms will be numb from the shock, his mouth will bleed, and he will lose his fighting power in a short time.

However, in the melee, there are still times of negligence after all.

Just as Fan Zhong knocked one person to the ground, he saw another enemy slashing at Zhu Qizhen from behind with a knife!

 Thanks to Gu Xi's wife for the reward, and thanks to the book friend Sunnydian for the reward! !
