(Thanks for acxld's monthly pass, thank you fishtank's monthly ticket reward gift; the subscription is a little slow, and the heart is a little unsmooth, kneel down and begging to subscribe!) Chapter 261

It took seven days for the bald army of the 'little prince' to reach the southern foothills of Daqing Mountain from Ulabaatar and step into the invasion channel north of Weizhou.

Before the army arrived, the sentry of the front flag of Chahar sentry eagles all the way to scout and follow the movement of the emperor's car of the Ming Dynasty. When Zhengde's car drove through the mountains south of the Great Wall, the small group of Tarot cavalry north of the Great Wall also maintained the same speed and followed the driving position all the way. Trace.

The baldness can hurry up and finally arrived at the open area in the north before the emperor of the Ming Dynasty crossed the middle valley. When it began to rain, the baldness was very happy. In this weather, there is almost no possibility for the Ming emperor to escape.

Vulcan has formulated a strategy of clamping the middle raid with two wings. On a heavy rain, tens of thousands of people on both sides launched an attack on the flattenant Wei Tianchengwei and Wan Quanwei. Vulcan did not intend to break through the occupation of these important strongholds. His only purpose is to stop the support of the Eastern Ming army for the emperor's car in the middle. .

According to the plan, after the attack on both sides began, the baldness may rush through the Great Wall Pass, which has been broken prematurely in the middle of the night, arrive at the valley area in the north of Weizhou, and capture the Ming emperor in one fell swoop. However, the change is greater than planned, and the heavy rain naturally makes it difficult for the Ming emperor to escape, but the Great Wall pass is a must pass. Dao also had several landslides due to the rain, and mud and rocks blocked the road, which made the baldness furious.

The bald man ordered to repair the road immediately and dig up the earth and rocks. He knew that after the attack on both sides began, it was very likely that it would make the emperor of the Ming Dynasty panic and choose to escape. Although there were hundreds of Tatar warriors in Yangyuan in the south, it was really hard to say whether they could delay them. If the Ming army in Weizhou was allowed to come and reinforcements If so, this action of mobbling the teacher and mobbling the public may be in vain.

After the road was opened, it was already dawn. The bald army crossed the pass and rushed into the valley. In fact, he did not have much hope. One night, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, whether he was deaf and blind, knew that there was a war on both sides. Even if he did not know the movement of his army, it would be out of safety considerations. I will not go east anymore, but will choose to retreat south.

However, happiness came too suddenly. Shortly after entering the valley, the news came from the outpost that the Ming emperor's camp car was in the valley and did not evacuate at all. For a moment, the baldness even suspected that this was a trick of the Ming army, but obviously, in this valley, the Ming army could not play tricks. The southeast here There is no way out in the northwest, and the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty is already in his pocket.

The baldness was not in a hurry. Even if he saw the accompanying Ming army withdraw into the abandoned Xinping Fort one after another, he did not order the cavalry to stop it, but ordered the 20,000 troops led by him to enter the valley in an order to surround Xinping Fort and catch turtles in an urn.

Song Nan stood on the wall of Xinpingbao and looked at the dense Tsars who were surging on all sides and twisted their eyebrows. The Tsars actually sent tens of thousands of horses. It seemed that it was inevitable. Song Nan guessed that if Zhengde was baldness was captured, he might take advantage of the situation to occupy Weizhou. With the emperor as a hostage, and Weizhou spit Yes, not to mention the huge advantage of military strength.

"What about the emperor?" Liu Jin stood in a piece of sewage with a sharp voice and looked up.

Song Nan said, "Duke Liu, please go to the beacon to accompany the emperor."

Liu Jin quickly turned around and climbed to the beacon. Song Nan did not remind him that he had a bamboo basket to sit on. He hoped that Liu Jin would fall to death in the process of climbing up, but unfortunately, although Liu Jin struggled to climb, he climbed to the top of the beacon without damage.

The Tita soldiers flocked here, and the dilapidated wall was completely vulnerable. Song Nan suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake. He should not concentrate hundreds of accompanying guards in this dilapidated fortress at all. It's better to ask them to run for their lives. Maybe there are still people who can escape.

The reinforced wall facing the southeast of the fortress was soon broken, and the Taran soldiers poured into it like a tide. The guards bravely met them, and the two sides were hanged together. The sword rose and fell and screamed. This was a hand-to-hand battle with no hope to win, but it had to fight with their lives.

Song Nan cut down a salam soldier with a knife, and Wan Zhi next to him rushed over and shouted, "Your Excellency, withdraw. If you don't withdraw, it will be too late."

Song Nan gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay, invite your brothers to the beacon."

Wan Zhi shouted loudly, and more than 20 guards led by Song Nan gathered and quickly ran to the beacon.

"Soong Nan, save me!" Someone shouted behind him.

Song Nan looked back, and Shi Wenyi and Qiu Ju's helmets were skewed, covered with blood, and they stumbled over.

Song Nan waved and said, "Come on to the beacon."

Wan Zhi whispered, "Your Excellency, what do you care about them?"

Song Nan sighed and said, "How can I ignore it? Although the stupidity of these two people led to the current situation, after all, it is my Ming official."

Everyone quickly climbed to the beacon. A small group of Tatari soldiers behind them shouted strangely to catch up. Shi Wenyi was injured and the crawling speed was very slow. Qiu Ju, who followed him, urged him repeatedly, but Shi Wenyi still couldn't climb fast. Seeing several Tatans catching up along the stone steps, only a few steps away from him, Qiu Ju was anxious He cursed repeatedly and reached out to grab Shi Wenyi's ankle, which was crawling slowly in front of him.

Shi Wenyi turned his head and said in shudrage, "Lord Qiu, what are you doing?"

Qiu Ju smiled ferociously and said, "Shi Commander, you are blocking my way."

Shi Wenyi was stunned and suddenly felt that his ankle was pulled hard. He fell from the stone steps from the side with a slanted shout. When he landed, his left arm landed on the ground and heard a 'kara' sound, and his left arm had been broken.

Shi Wenyi shouted loudly and cursed, "Qiu Ju, you traitor, I won't let you go as a ghost."

Before the words fell, more than a dozen Tatari had been gathered around. Shi Wenyi gritted his teeth and raised the embroidered spring knife to resist. After several rounds, he killed a Tatar soldier, but in the blink of an eye, he was hit by seven or eight knives on his body and screamed and fell on the dust and died.

Qiu gathered his hands and feet and followed the pace of Song Nan and others. He threw the tartar on the stone steps behind him far away and was relieved, but he saw the people in front of him stop.

"Mom, why stop? Hurry up, come on, the Tircon is catching up. Qiu Ju shouted and cursed loudly.

The guard of Beizhen above ignored it. Qiu Ju looked up and saw more than 20 pairs of eyes staring at him coldly.

"What do you do?" Qiu Ju was a little worried.

Song Nan's cold voice sounded: "Lord Qiu, you shouldn't be alive. You should die with Commander Shi."

Qiu Ju hurriedly said, "Soong Nan, don't get me wrong. Your stone commander fell down."

Song Nan sighed and said, "Lord Qiu, I will say in front of the emperor that you and Commander Shi are loyal to the country by killing the enemy bravely. Go at ease."

Qiu Ju opened his mouth and shouted in fear, "Song Nan, how are you doing? Aren't you afraid of raiding your family and extermination?"

The words are still not over, and the soles of a huge boot are coming.

"Fight you." Wan Zhi scolded and kicked Qiu Ju's head. Qiu Ju's body was like a ball jumping down from the stone steps, knocking down several tartans who climbed up the stone steps and chased them. With the muffled sound, he fell and fractured his tendons.

......

The wall below has been completely broken through. On the beacon, Song Nan and Zhengde and others stood on the edge and looked down. They saw the dense Tatar soldiers rushing into the camp. When the knife light rose and fell, the blood light splashed and their limbs flew across. Dozens of eunuchs and accompanying musicians cried and ran away, and soon after a while He was chased and killed by the thir.

Although the escort General Han and Fanzi resisted desperately, they were also soon submerged in the sea of tars. They only had a meal. None of the attendants left under the beacon survived. There were corpses and blood stains everywhere, and there was no living person.

With a "wow", Princess Kang Ning rushed into Song Nan's arms and cried loudly.

Song Nan gently patted her on the back to comfort her and motioned Dai Suer to help the princess to rest under the tent.

Dai Suer came forward with a pale face and left with the princess. Song Nan whispered, "Don't be afraid, we will be fine."

Dai Suer stopped and turned her head and said, "I'm not afraid. Don't worry about me."

Zhengde's face was pale and his lips were trembling, and his eyes were full of tears. Looking at the massacre in front of him, he could hardly stand.

"What should I do? What should I do? Zhengde muttered around, and his eyes were full of panic.

No one can answer his question, and no one knows what will happen next. The beacon is already an isolated island, and only more than 30 people left above are all survivors. Under the siege of tens of thousands of Taterson soldiers, even if it is steep and difficult to attack, how long can it be preserved?

"Soong Nan, what should I do? Tell me, what should I do?" Zhengde grabbed Song Nan's shoulder and asked.

Song Nan whispered, "The emperor, don't worry, I swear to protect the emperor's safety. This beacon is not so easy to attack. I have sent Wang Yong to break through the siege and ask for help, as long as the reinforcements arrive."

Liu Jin said in a trembling voice, "How to stick to it? How can you stick to these 30 people?

Song Nan scolded: "Prince Liu, this is not the time for you to say dejection. I have proposed to evacuate last night, but you refused. Today's situation can be said to be caused by you. From now on, you just need to serve the emperor and don't get in the way again. If anyone is in the way at this time, I will do nothing for the emperor's safety. Don't hesitate to leave you off the beacon.

Liu Jin shouted angrily, "Now is not the time to investigate who is right and who is wrong. If you want to take responsibility, it is also the sins of Shi Wenyi and Qiu Ju. They are responsible for guarding their duties. The emperor and I naturally respect their intentions. If we want to investigate and investigate the sins of these two idiots, we should also be investigated. Where are Shi Wenyi and Qiu gathered? Why don't you get out and plead guilty?"

Someone whispered, "Lord Qiu just fell down on the way up, and Commander Shi didn't come up below. I'm afraid he died in battle."

Liu Jin's face was ashes, his calf was soft, and he almost collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, a eunuch's eyes and hands quickly held him.

Zhengde said painfully, "Song Nan, it's all my fault and has nothing to do with them; it's because I didn't believe what you said, and the responsibility lies with me, and I shouldn't have come out on this trip at all."

Song Nan said soothingly, "Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself. Everything is God's will. Please relax, but if you have a minister here, you will never let the Taran touch the emperor's hair."

Zhengde nodded and said, "At this point, it is useless to lament and regret. I will never fall into the hands of the Tatars. Listen, from now on, Song Nan will be in charge of all affairs, and all personnel will be dispatched by him, including me. Song Nan, if the Tatans attack the beacon and want to capture me as a hostage, you need to let me and the royal sister return to heaven before the Tats, and never let me and the royal sister be humiliated by the Tatans.
