    Everyone calmed down and looked at Lu Qingli. Lu Qingli smiled and said to Zhang Lun, "Mr. Zhang, is this shot not powerful enough and does it need to be fired several times? You just need to nod or shake your head.  ¡ó¡ý¡± Zhang Lun nodded.  "In that case, Kerr and I will just go and fire a few more shots. You don't understand the operation of this iron chariot. Only we know the proportion of gunpowder, and I can't tell it casually. All the secret recipes of the arsenal are secret.  That can't be said easily. What's more important is that Kerr and I are already deaf, and the craftsmen who were with us just now are probably also deaf. This is actually a good thing, no matter how big it is.  Don't let us be deafened by the sound, so Kerr and I decided to fire again and asked Mr. Zhang to prepare for the attack. "Ye Fanggu shouted: "No, the ears may just be damaged.  , If you go again, you will only add to your injuries. What will happen if it cannot be cured in the future? " Dai Su'er whispered: "Sister, they can't hear clearly. " Zhu Fengtong took a branch and wrote on the ground to express Ye Qanggu's worries.  After Lu Qingli and Yang Keer understood, Yang Keer smiled and said: "I was unprepared before. If I go again, I must wrap up my head and face. Please ask some sisters to bring cotton towels. Can't we wrap them up tightly? For those craftsmen and helpers  We are looking for some protection. If they are all deaf, their livelihood will be a problem. I hope my sisters can help them solve their worries. "Zhu Fengtong sighed: "What a kind girl, you are like this yourself, and you are still thinking about others."  Still hesitating, Lu Qingli pointed at the sky and said, "It's already dark. Do we have to wait until the bad news comes about our eldest brother before we make a decision?" Everyone looked at the little princess, who looked at Ye Fanggu. After all, Qingli is Fanggu's.  Cousin, the little princess couldn't make her own decision either. Ye Qinggu's eyes were wet, she hugged Lu Qingli and Yang Kerr and nodded towards them.  The cotton scarf was quickly brought out and pushed, and more than a dozen craftsmen were pulled over to wrap their heads, faces, and ears. Lu Qingli and Yang Kouer had their ears wrapped in several layers. They were all bloated like big-headed dolls. Zhang Lun  They sent people to cover them and returned to the iron chariot. The soldiers and horses above the city wall were in panic and did not fire any artillery fire.  Lu Qingli gestured to several craftsmen to check the support of the front barrel and the aiming direction. The vibration of the previous shot was likely to cause loosening and deflection. Before firing, it was necessary to check that the fixed aiming was in place. After everything was ready, the cannon shell was  Boring, lead ignition.  "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" was an earthquake-like roar every time after a cup of tea. After three consecutive rounds of artillery fire, no figures or pictures could be seen clearly on the dark city top, and the dark blue twilight sky was completely covered by  Shrouded in black clouds, it was completely in a state of chaos.  Zhang Lun sent a dozen soldiers to rush into the smoke to check, until they were face to face with the city wall. Not a single arrow was shot down from the top of the city. These dozen soldiers actually climbed directly onto the hot ruins, waiting for them to climb down from the ruins.  When I arrived, I suddenly found myself in the square within the Zhengyangmen city wall.  This joy is no small matter. It turns out that a big gap has been penetrated in the city wall, and the city wall collapsed.  Under the illumination of torches above and below the city, the gradually dissipating smoke revealed a large gap about five to six feet wide in front of everyone. Although the collapsed earth and rocks were piled up to ten feet high, it was no longer enough to serve as a barrier and could not be stopped.  The attack of the army outside Zhengyang Gate.  After learning that the city wall collapsed, Yang Ting, Liang Chu, Zhang Wei and others on the top of the city were dumbfounded. The roar of the giant cannon was still lingering in Yang Tinghe's ears. His face was frighteningly white, and he faced the gap.  , he couldn't speak for a moment.  Liang Chu shouted: "Master Zhang, quickly order people to block the gap. Use sandbags, stones, even corpses to block this place." Zhang Wei sighed and shook his head: "It's useless, it's useless.  Nothing can be blocked. Even if we can barely block this place before they attack, the cannons under the city can be blasted away with just one shot. " "What do you mean?  Can't we stop Zhang Lun's troops? There are more than 20,000 troops in the inner city, and Zhang Lun only has more than 10,000 men, so we still have the strength to fight," Liang Chu said angrily.  Zhang Wei looked at Yang Tinghe, who was silent.  Fei Hong whispered: "Mr. Yang, the last way is to attack the palace immediately to capture Song Nan alive. If we can succeed, we still have the capital to negotiate. Mr. Zhang will lead the troops to resist for a while. I will go to the Daming Gate and talk to Tan  Let's attack the palace together to see if there is any chance of improvement." Yang Tinghe sighed and shook his head: "We have already made a mistake. To continue killing is to make more mistakes. It is better to stop here. We are also important ministers of the imperial court and have nothing to do.  We should think about the overall interests of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise we will become the sinners of the Ming Dynasty." Liang Chu was furious and didn't say anything.He said politely: "Mr. Yang, how can you say such a thing at this time? It was you who made the plan at the beginning, and now you are the one who has backed down. Are you still thinking that Song Nan will let us go? This matter can be decided by  If you don't do it, if you give up now, we will all die in Song Nan's hands. What happens today is that the boat will be destroyed and the fish will be destroyed. Moreover, the outcome is uncertain and the outcome is uncertain. How can we be so depressed? " Yang Tinghe shook his head and said: "Call Zhang Hou?  Tell me, are his more than 20,000 soldiers and horses a match for Zhang Lun's Fenwu Camp Shenji Camp and thousands of Jinyi Guards? Song Nan holds thousands of fire blunderbuss.  There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses among them. It¡¯s not like you haven¡¯t seen thousands of swordsmen and sword-bearing officers in the palace who can¡¯t defeat even a thousand Han generals. Need I say more?¡± Zhang Wei sighed.  "That's true." Liang Chu waved his hand and shouted: "Then we can't let go. By the way, aren't there still six regiments of soldiers and horses in the outer city? If they are willing to take action, the situation will be reversed immediately. You are the chief minister of the cabinet.  Why can't you order them to send troops to suppress the powerful ministers?" Yang Tinghe looked at Liang Chu with a slightly pitiful look and said slowly: "Master Liang, you are not a three-year-old child, you should know the six regiments.  If they were willing to help, they would have done it long ago. They just want to preserve their status and not offend." Liang Chu stamped his feet and said, "No, I want to go find him.  They are sending troops. You hold back here first. No matter what, I will persuade them to send troops. Mr. Zhang, you must hold on no matter what. Let Mr. Tan start attacking Daming Gate. Let¡¯s use a two-pronged approach to capture Song Nan or send troops from the regiment.  We can turn the situation around, and we must not give up easily. As for Yang Shoufu, he has lost his fighting spirit. He is a veteran of two dynasties and may be able to escape with his life, but we must not compromise with Song Nan. " Zhang Wei knows that Liang Chu's words are reasonable.  He glanced at Yang Tinghe and finally nodded and said: "Master Liang, I will do as you say. I will defend here to the death. I hope you can persuade the regiment to send troops." Liang Chu nodded, looked back at Yang Tinghe, and spat viciously.  Tumo went down to the city, mounted a war horse and galloped westward.  Yang Tinghe stood blankly for a long time, then walked numbly towards the city. Fei Hong hurriedly shouted: "Where are you going, Mr. Yang?" Yang Tinghe turned around and said in a daze: "I can't help here. I'll find a place to clean up." Fei Hong said hurriedly.  "I'll accompany you, but don't wander around in the mess." Yang Tinghe waved his hand and said, "You can help defend the city here. I'll come back as soon as I go. Don't worry." Zhang Wei and Fei Hong could only watch Yang Tinghe go down.  The back of the city was walking away, and I didn't know what to feel in my heart. I suddenly heard shouts from below the city. A long dragon with countless torches was gathering from Zhengyangmen Square to charge towards the gap. Zhang Wei shouted: "Fill the gap, prepare."  Meet the enemy." The generals kept passing on their orders, and the archers and crossbowmen quickly gathered on the walls on both sides of the gap, and began to shoot arrows in the face of Zhang Lun's troops rushing in.  In the square below, Zhang Lun was wearing armor and sitting on a war horse. He pointed the long sword in the direction of the city wall and shouted: "At any cost, rush through the gap and attack the inner city, at all costs!" Suddenly  , he found that the figure running towards the gap in the city wall was extremely familiar. He couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly realized it and shouted loudly: "Sister, what are you doing? Come back, come back quickly." The figure running past was exactly the same.  The back view of the little princess. Next to her is Ye Fanggu, who is holding a dagger with murderous intent. The other female retainers of the Song Dynasty are too weak to charge and kill the enemy like the two of them. The little princess actually has no martial arts skills, but she  Before, she was the female devil who ran rampant in Zhengnanfang. She was nimble in body and limbs, and could use swords a few times. Now she didn't care about Song Nan's safety anymore.  Fortunately, he was accompanied by two strong maids, General Heng Ha and Ru Hua Ru Yue, as well as Ye Fanggu, a highly skilled martial artist. He gained heroic courage and rushed out shouting, leaving Zhang Lun's shouts behind.  Zhang Lun slapped his thighs and pulled his hair anxiously. As the coach, he couldn't rush to protect him. Just when he was anxious, Li Daniu and Zhao Dapeng rushed forward with their firecrackers and bodyguards. They hurriedly stopped them and told them  Li Daniu and Zhao Dapeng were also shocked when the female members of the Song Dynasty rushed forward. They hurriedly patted their chests and promised to find two ladies from the Song Dynasty to protect them. Zhang Lun felt relieved.   Liang Chu was furious and walked westward. He wanted to leave the inner city from Xuanwu Gate and go to the regimental camp where he was transferred to the outer city. Xuanwu Gate was still controlled by foreign troops, and the sound of killing at Zhengyang Gate was loud and the sound of cannons rumbling.  , but the thousands of foreign soldiers stationed here seemed too leisurely.  The wind lantern illuminated Xuanwumen Square, but there was no one around.  There were no attacking troops on either side of the moat.  Liang Chu ordered the defenders to open the city gate and let him out of the outer city. When he arrived at the square,After thinking about it, I decided to go west to the bases of Guoyong Camp and Kuangyong Camp in Xuanbeifang. The admiral of Guoyong Camp, Changsheng Houma Wanxun, and the admiral of Kuangyong Camp, Pingshan Hou Zhou Liang, had been very close to Ding Guogong Xu Guangzuo, and they  The relationship between Zhang Wei and others was also good. Liang Chu thought that it would be easier for them to persuade them.  Having made up his mind, Liang Chu rode his horse and headed west, heading straight for the military camp at the northwest corner of Xuanbeifang Street along the empty street. He walked to the northwest of Xuanbeifang Street and was about to turn into the avenue leading to the military camp when he heard a loud noise.  There was a commotion of soldiers and horses ahead. Liang Chu became aware of the situation and ordered his entourage to come forward to spy on the situation. The entourage came back after a while and reported: "It seems that the soldiers and horses of the regiment camp have left the camp in whole and are heading here."  Come." Liang Chu was surprised, happy and suspicious. He was so surprised that the troops of the regiment were dispatched. What he was happy about was that if the purpose of dispatching was to help foreign troops, then the situation could be reversed immediately and he would save himself a lot of money.  Lip and tongue, what is suspicious is that no one has given the order, how can these two battalions take the initiative to send troops?  Liang Chu hid in a small alley and watched secretly. Soon he saw a large number of soldiers and horses trotting past the street outside the alley, heading towards the inner city. There was no doubt that they were participating in the battle between Beijing and China.  In the crowd, Liang Chu also saw Ma Wanxun and Zhou Liang sitting on horses.  Liang Chu thought for a while and gritted his teeth before going out to greet the two regimental princes. Suddenly, as if he was being shocked by electricity, he twisted his body and quickly retracted into the shadows, almost breaking his old waist.  Because, he saw a person, the person he least wanted to see here, a person wearing a black robe, riding a horse and following behind the two marquises. The person just turned his face and was caught by the dim lights on the street.  It hit the face.  Liang Chu could see clearly that the man with the long, thin face and fluttering black beard was none other than Yang Yiqing, Minister of the Ministry of War. When this person appeared here, Liang Chu naturally knew what it meant. These two regiment soldiers  The horse did not go to help his own side, but was taken by Yang Yiqing to attack the foreign army.  Liang Chu was hiding in the dark alley, looking at the soldiers and horses passing by in front of him. He had no strength in his legs and feet, his heart was beating fast, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat.  I don¡¯t know how long I waited before all the soldiers and horses on the street passed by. Liang Chu was stunned. One of the two followers stepped forward and whispered: "My lord, my lord?" Liang Chu suddenly woke up and said hoarsely:  "What?" "The soldiers and horses have passed, sir, let's go back to the inner city?" Liang Chu slowly walked out of the dark alley with his head in the air, standing on the dark and empty street, the wind blowing through his sweaty body,  It made him feel a chill all over his body; but he could resist the coldness on his body, and the coldness in his heart was his biggest fear.  Yang Yiqing has obviously persuaded Guo Yongyong and the two battalions to participate in the operation. The two battalions are least likely to participate in the operation. Once they join Song Nan's side, the rest of the regiment will definitely join in. Liang Chu is very worried.  Knowing the style of these people, which side has the advantage, they will favor that side in order to get a share of the victory.  However, the foreign troops were already struggling to deal with Zhang Lun's Fenwu Camp and Shenji Camp and the thousands of Jinyi Guards under Song Nan. Otherwise, how could Yang Tinghe lose confidence and himself?  Why did they come to bring in reinforcements?  Now that the regiment has joined, the defeat has been established, and there is no chance of recovery; this time, we really lost, in a mess, and with nothing left.  Liang Chu quickly calculated that it was futile to seek help from other regiments and camps, and returning to the battlefield in the inner city would be a recipe for death. He must leave the capital as quickly as possible before Song Nan ordered the city to be sealed off, and escape as far away as possible.  The better.  Although it will be difficult for him to live in the world from now on, even if he lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and dies of old age in a remote wilderness, it is much better than being captured and humiliated by Song Nan and finally beheaded in public.  "You two quickly go to the inner city to report to Yang Shoufu and Zhang Tan, saying that Guo Yong Yong and Yong Guo Yong's two battalions of soldiers and horses have been dispatched, and ask them to be ready." Liang Chu turned his head and whispered to the two followers.  "What about you, sir?" "I'm going to the east of the city. Yaowu Camp is stationed in the east of the city. I'm going to persuade Mr. Yu to send troops." "Then sir, be careful." "Don't worry about me. It's urgent. You  The two of them came back quickly." The two attendants immediately mounted their horses and galloped away. The sound of hooves could be heard, and soon the only sound left on the street was the rustling of leaves in the wind.  Liang Chu struggled to climb onto his horse, but instead of heading east of the city, he plunged into the alley and headed south along the spider web-like lanes.  Liang Chu thought very clearly that Xibian Gate and Guang'an Gate would never be able to get out, because since the Guo Yong Yong Second Battalion had decided to join Song Nan's camp, the two gates on the west side of the outer city would be controlled first.  Although the situation of Dongbianmen and Guangqumen in the east is unknown, if you run to one of the two city gates now, you have to make a big circle, which will delay a lot of time.After receiving the news, the troops stationed in the regiment and camp decided to send troops to assist Song Nan. When he arrived there, they also fell into a trap.  The only way to go now is Yongding Gate in the south, which is not too far away, and the Fenwu Camp and Shenji Camp stationed east of the Temple of Heaven and Earth have been deployed to fight a fierce battle. Yongding Gate is still in the hands of foreign troops, and I will definitely be able to  Passed safely.  With such a wishful thinking in mind, Liang Chu quickly walked through the streets like a mouse in a maze. Fortunately, he had been in the capital for more than 20 years, and he was familiar with every corner. When he popped up again  When I arrived, I was already on the street not far from Yongding Gate; I saw the tall black shadow of the city gate standing in the distance, and looking back at the fierce shouts of killing in the inner city, Liang Chu gritted his teeth and galloped towards the square behind the city gate.  "Stop, it is forbidden to stop at the city gate. Those who come, stay back." A soldier shouted from the top of the city.  Liang Chu straightened his clothes, puffed out his chest, coughed and said majestically: "How dare you, I am Liang Chu, the cabinet scholar. I have to go out of the city overnight for business. Why don't you quickly open the city gate and let me out?" "Liang Chu?" There was someone on the top of the city.  He screamed in surprise, and then suddenly there was no sound.  Liang Chu sat quietly on his horse and stared at the few dark shadows on the top of the city that seemed to be running around in a hurry. He felt a little comforted in his heart. Although he was about to become a lost dog, and the title of cabinet bachelor would no longer be useful, at this moment  This last moment can still be used as a deterrent, at least it can make the foreign troops at the top of the city panic.  There was a sound of footsteps, and seven or eight figures quickly descended the steps of the city wall from the city gate and rushed towards him. Liang Chu knew that they were here to accuse them and immediately opened the city gate. He was ready to tell these soldiers  No need to be polite, just hurry up and open the city gate, and even planned to encourage them a few words, but the next moment he suddenly realized that something was wrong.  Those people ran very fast, the weapons in their hands were shining with cold light. Although they could not see clearly their attires, a murderous aura rushed towards their faces. Liang Chu was like a rabbit in danger, extremely sensitive to the aura of danger, and instinctively  He shouted: "Don't come over, just open the city gate." Someone on the other side laughed loudly and said: "I didn't expect that our brothers could catch big fish while guarding the city gate. Hahaha, Mr. Liang, we, Mr. Song, have seen you  You will definitely be very happy. We brothers will be very grateful if you give this credit to us." Liang Chu was very frightened. Hearing this tone, the gatekeepers were not foreign troops, but Song Nan's men. When?  Has Yongding Gate fallen into Song Nan's hands?  This surprise was no small matter. Liang Chu quickly turned his horse's head and was about to run away. There was a continuous clicking sound from behind.  "Master Liang, stop immediately, or you will bear the consequences." The soldiers at the rear shouted.  Liang Chu didn't care what he said. He whipped the horse's butt several times. The horse was startled and neighed. Liang Chu thought to himself: Can you catch up with the horse?  "It's credit for dying, but it's not credit for running away. Brothers, do it." "Boom, boom, boom." The continuous sound of firecrackers was very harsh in the quiet night. The birds on the big trees in the surrounding streets and alleys had just  After being able to rest peacefully for a while, I was startled and flew into the sky again.  Liang Chu on the horse only felt a burst of intense pain in his back, arms, and thighs. The horse under him also staggered and was about to roll over. At the last moment when he was conscious, Liang Chu suddenly heard the clicking sound behind him just now.  What.  "That's the sound of Jinyiwei's gunpowder being charged with gunpowder. How could I have forgotten this? I'm so stupid. I'm so stupid." Liang Chu rolled to the ground amid his last self-blame, his body stiffening like a rag doll.  He rolled around on the brick floor for more than ten times, hit a bluestone on the side of the road, and lay there on his knees. Dozens of holes in his back, legs and arms were bleeding, and a moment later they became a sea of ??blood.
