Almost at the same time, Baoding Governor Jie Jingchuan returned to the backyard of the Yamen. Just as he was waiting to catch up on his sleep and take a good rest, he suddenly heard a panic sound coming from far and near: "Master, it's not good, it's not good... "

After hearing the explanation, he was frightened. This matter was related to his future. If he did it well, he would have a bright future. If he didn't do it well, he might lose his head.

He pushed away the concubine who was warming the bed, and while hurriedly getting dressed, he shouted loudly: "Why are you panicking? What's going on?"

"Master, Jianlu...the Jianlu army is coming!" the servant who reported the report said in panic.

There was a "Plop" sound. He was so frightened that he sat on the ground after reading the scriptures. Then he stood up like crazy. Regardless of whether he was wearing his official uniform, he strode out and shouted at the same time: "Quick, hurry up, close the city gate." , prepare the army for war!"

This time, he returned to the city as quickly as possible. What he saw in front of him made him relieved. The flow of people heading to Zhangjiawan was like countless panicked and disorderly ants, still rushing to transport grain. Most of them were still heading towards Zhangjiawan, and only a few people were already running back with grain on their shoulders.

In the distance, some cavalrymen were running towards this side. At this time, they were being affected by the situation, and the cavalrymen in other directions were also running towards the city. As for Jianlu's shadow, I haven't seen it yet.

The general soldiers, such as Hei Yunlong, Madeng Yun and others, probably had just received the report and were rushing to the city to gather around the governor of Baoding.

Jie Jingzhuan looked around and immediately asked: "Why is the city gate not closed yet? Where is the Jianlu army? How many Jianlu troops are there?"

"..." No one could answer, some were just confused and silent.

After a while, the general in charge of this section of the city responded: "Go back to Zhongcheng, there are people inside and outside the city, and the city gate cannot be closed at all!"

"What are you still doing? Sound the gong as a warning, burn grain, and tell the soldiers outside the city to quickly return to camp and form a formation near the city!" Jie Jing Chuan went crazy.

The sound of "clang, clang, clang" sounded, causing the flow of people outside the city to stop for an instant. After looking around, they all suddenly rushed back to Tongzhou City in unison. At the same time, accompanied by a wider range of cries for father and mother, more people People are being trampled on, but no one can control anyone!

After a while, more and more cavalry returned, but they could not enter the city and had to gather close to the city wall.

Even though it was a cold winter day, the explanatory notes on the city walls were still sweating, and people asked these cavalry soldiers about the situation of building a large army of captives. But I found that no one could tell the specific situation. Either they said there were many, or they saw some cavalry running first and then they followed.

Jie Jing Chuan suddenly had a bad premonition, because he was on the front line and knew more or less the urinary properties of these women.

At this moment, a thick smoke rose from the Zhangjiawan Caoliang side, and it was obvious that they had started to set fire to the grain.

In the distance, more and more cavalrymen were escaping, running back desperately. Behind the last cavalry, the shadow of Jianlu finally appeared, unscrupulously harvesting the last fleeing Ming army cavalry.

At this time, Jie Jing Chuan was completely panicked and quickly ordered: "Quickly, close the city gate!"

"Zhongcheng, there are so many people rushing to the city now, it's impossible to lock them up!" the general reported with sweat on his face.

Outside the city gate, it was indeed full of people. Not only the common people, but even the Qinwang soldiers who were originally going to return to the military camp outside the city as planned also lost their heads and rushed towards the city. It would be weird if the city gate could be closed due to the dense crowd of people!

The sweat on Jie Jing Zhuan's forehead was dripping down. If Jianlu took advantage of the situation and attacked the city, it would definitely be over!

He panicked and ordered in a loud roar: "Shout quickly and tell them not to enter the city!"

Then, he turned his head and ordered to the general soldiers: "Quick, let your servants regroup, and be sure to prevent the Jianlu from approaching before the city gate is closed!"

"Zhongcheng, the cavalry has just withdrawn, its morale has been lost, and each of them was not under their control before, so they can't fight!" Hei Yunlong immediately cried out bitterly.

What he said was indeed the truth, and other generals also shouted, saying that there was no way to stop the cavalry outside the city from going to meet the enemy.

"Are you just going to watch Jianlu take the opportunity to attack the city? If Tongzhou city is destroyed, you and I will inevitably die!" Jie Jingzhuan got angry, "Don't forget that the emperor has just issued an imperial edict. No matter whether he surrenders really or fake, he will be killed without mercy. !”

They all felt the emperor's determination from the imperial edict, and knew that this matter would not be a joke. In a hurry, Ma Dengyun suddenly clasped his fists and reported: "Master Zhongcheng, now the only way to close the city gate is to cut off the flow of people!"

After hearing this, the interpreter was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the crowds of people swarming in outside the city gate, and suddenly understood what his suggestion was.

If this kind of thing were usually known to political opponents, they would definitely attack it, but at this time, there is no way to choose the lesser of the two.

"Shan, it's up to you to handle this matter. Go quickly and be sure to close the city gate within a quarter of an hour!" Jie Jie Chuan's face looked a little ferocious and he ordered loudly.

Ma Dengyun didn't expect that this job would fall on him. Just when he was about to refuse, he noticed that the eyes of Jie Jing Chuan looking at him seemed to be cannibalistic. In desperation, he had no choice but to clasp his fists and accept the order: "General, I will obey!"

After a while, at the top of Tongzhou City, above the city gate, the rolling logs and stones used to defend the city suddenly fell, and the unsuspecting people below were suddenly smashed to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers, causing death and injury. The flow of people was interrupted, and the city was completely destroyed. The door was finally closed.

Soon, the flow of people outside the city came to their senses and knew that they could not enter the city. The cry suddenly shook for dozens of miles. Everyone went crazy in despair. They either fled in all directions or surrounded the city, thinking Get as close to the city as possible. In this panic, countless people were trampled to death.

On top of the city, Jie Jingzhuan and others breathed a sigh of relief and finally closed the city gate. Only then did they raise their heads to observe Jianlu in the distance.

But at this meeting, even the governor of Baoding, who had never dealt with Jianlu before, noticed something fishy. He immediately turned around and looked at the general soldiers around him, with an angry look on his face, and roared loudly: "What on earth is going on?"

Besides, Cao Huachun received the emperor's permission and immediately reported: "Your Majesty, when I came back, I saw a lot of censors gathered at the Meridian Gate, as well as some officials from the six ministries. They seemed to be saying that if the emperor stayed in Zhong, they would Again, it’s very noisy..."

Upon hearing this, Hu Guang understood. Afraid that these censors could guess that his solution was to stay in middle school, they planned to imitate the great ceremonial disputes during the Jiajing period outside the Meridian Gate and prepare to kneel down collectively to remonstrate. These civil servants were proud to receive the imperial staff at that time, and each of them seemed to be ready to die. They gave such a powerful Emperor Jiajing a headache!

"You don't need to say anything, I know what's going on!" Hu Guang's face suddenly became a little ferocious, "How dare you try something like this with me, haha!"
