At the turn of noon, the Tatar soldiers were already trapped and exhausted.

Since the beginning of the Chen hour, as many as hundreds of harassment have not been achieved. The main force of the Ming-Director Wang Army camped outside Xizhimen was still unmoved, but he only responded with a small group of cavalry. He also suffered a lot of losses because his main general was unstoppable. Even the brave and warlike Tatar cavalry could not help but feel tired and finally evacuated one after another.

Throughout the morning, the sound of killing in Xizhimen was shocked, but the infantry in the camp ignored it and slept soundly and steadily. This was a habit developed in Tumu Fortress. When you were in a solid camp and had the fortifications you had digged by yourself, your spirit could not help but relax.

While relaxing physically and mentally, people are in a period of fatigue. The officers and soldiers are sleeping with their heads covering their heads, and there are wonders of swords and swords outside the camp and snoring in the camp.

After the Chenxi patrol camp returned to the central army's tent, Yunliu hurriedly came and reported: "Sir, I just got the news that the Tatars sent tens of thousands of troops to attack Zhengyang Gate!"

Chen Xi immediately came to the table, spread out the map, and sighed after looking at it, "It's indeed Zhengyangmen! The Tatars were probably going to make a desperate bet, but they didn't know if the defenders in the city had any strategies for dealing with it?"

Yun Liu was a little worried: "Sir, from Xizhimen where we are to Zhengyangmen in the south, there were many ambushes on the way, and last night, the captives and plundered Ming people were driven to dig several ditches..."

In order to prevent the recurrence of Chen Xi's sudden return to the capital, the Tatars dug several trenches that hindered traffic at Xizhimen to the line of Zhengyangmen and ambushed tens of thousands of cavalry... The commander of the generals was to never take the initiative to attack, and just wait for Chen Xi to fall into the trap.

Aren't the artillery in Chenxi's army powerful? We just follow suit. We dug several trenches from Xizhimen to Zhengyangmen. The artillery is heavy and it is difficult to pass the trenches. I will prepare tens of thousands of ambushers. When you drive a ox cart and a mule cart to reinforce, my ambush suddenly came out. Let's see what you have to fight with us?

At this time, the outside of Xizhimen had already returned to quiet, and the Tatars chose the last battle location at Zhengyangmen to avoid contact with Chenxi tribe.

The Tatars were psychologically shady in their repeated battles with Chen Xi. They shouted that they were not afraid, but they still chose to avoid contact with Chen Xi's tribe. No matter how powerful Chen Xi was, they would be isolated and helpless when the capital city was broken, and they could only surrender under the siege of Tatar soldiers who had freed up.

Hu Songyue, Liu Xu and others rectified their troops and came to Chen Xi for instructions on the dispatch of troops.

When Hu Songyue learned that the Tatars had dug trenches in the middle of Xizhimen and Zhengyangmen, his face was full of indifferent expressions: "Mr. Shen, just rest assured, let the general lead the troops to kill them, keep the custody and fill the ditches and obstacles... I don't believe it, can the Tatars fly to the sky?"

Liu Xu and Zhu Lie were passionate... In their opinion, since the Tatars were ready to escape, they just needed to launch an attack step by step according to Chen Xi's plan, and winning was a natural thing.

Chen Xi was silent, which made Hu Songyue and others feel unsure.

Hu Songyue asked, "Mr. Shen, didn't you say that you would send troops at the end of the afternoon? Now that afternoon is over, the Tartars gather heavy troops to attack Zhengyang Gate. If they hesitate, we may not be able to arrive when the Zhengyang Gate falls!"

Chen Xi looked up at the head of Xizhimen City, continued to frown and think. After a while, he said, "Change the strategy! The Tatars' response is worse than I thought. Instead of taking the risk of going outside the city, it is better to... go directly to the city..."

Yunliu hurriedly said, "Mr. Shen, even if artillery enters the city, it may not be able to be sent to the city in a short period of time..."

Chen Xi shook his head: "The artillery will be left in the camp outside the city, and let the cavalry take a detour from the city. Please come and see me, and then send a scout to Xizhimen with my official letter!"

...

...

Forbidden City, Ganqing Palace.

It was sunny at noon, and Zhu Youzhang woke up and felt much better. He struggled to get up from the dragon couch and looked out the window.

Xiao Jing was always waiting by his side, and saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Your Majesty, you are much better today. You are about to recover from the serious illness. I am very happy."

Zhu Youzhang asked, "Eunuch Xiao, when is it time?"

Xiao Jing replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's past noon."

"oh."

Zhu Youzhang nodded slightly and said, "What's going on in the war between Xizhimen?"

A look of worry appeared on Xiao Jing's face, but he quickly suppressed it and replied calmly: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Yesterday, our Ming army won a great victory in the battle between Xizhimen. After that, the prince and Xie Shangshu came to the Ganqing Palace to report to you about Shen Zhongcheng..."

Xiao Jing originally wanted to say that Zhengyang Gate was attacked, but because the gates of the Tianjing City were constantly attacked by the Tatars, in Xiao Jing's view, the Tatars' withdrawal of troops was nowhere to be long. Such things happen every day, and there is no need to mention them separately to make trouble for Emperor Hongzhi. He did not realize how important the war in Xizhimen was.

This was a decisive battle related to the destiny of the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars. The Tatars learned that Yisima withdrew his troops from Xuanfu and allowed Liu Daxia to ignore the troops on the three sides of the king. Dayan Khan Batumonk had no desire to fight.

Zhu Youzing said "Oh" and said, "I remember. Yesterday, Xie Qing's family accompanied the prince and told me that Chen Qing's family had returned from Tumu Fort?"

Xiao Jing replied excitedly: "Yes, not only did Shen Zhongcheng come back, but he also brought more than 10,000 troops to support the king. Yesterday, the Xizhimen battled, and Shen Zhongcheng led his troops to confront the Tatars head-on, relieving the danger that the city gate was almost broken!"

Zhu Youzhang suddenly coughed violently, not knowing whether it was because of happiness or excitement.

After a long time, Zhu Youzhang's cough calmed down a little, looked around and asked, "Where is the Chen Qing family now? Why don't you let him see me?"

Xiao Jing was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty doesn't remember? Yesterday, Shangshu Xie said that after Shen Zhongcheng confronted the Tatars, due to the complex and changeable situation, he stationed his troops outside the city!"

"Stay outside the city... Alas! Maybe it was the Tatar soldiers who obstructed him and did not allow him to lead his troops back to the city... However, if Chen Qing's family is not welcomed to the city, there is always a suspicion of being a hero. When the Tatars retreat, you might as well open the city gate to welcome Chen Qing's family into the city!"

Zhu Youzing wanted to win people's hearts, but he didn't know that Chen Xi took the initiative to ask for an order to stay outside the city.

Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid... it's impossible today. The Tatars are attacking Zhengyang Gate. The news I just got that the Tatars have mobilized more than 50,000 troops this time..."

I didn't want to say it at first, but Xiao Jing didn't dare to deceive the emperor, so I had to report the details.

A sad look appeared on Zhu Youzing's flushed face: "The Tatars are here again? That's right. Now that Chen Qing's family has brought troops back, it's probably because Liu Shangshu's troops are coming soon. The Tatars are at the end of their strength and want to fight to the death! At this time, we must not let the city gate lose its mistakes. I don't want to be the king of the country to be destroyed!"

Because Zhu Youzhang said this miserablely, Xiao Jing couldn't help but wiped his tears and said quickly: "Don't worry, the soldiers of the three armies in the city serve, and there will definitely be no accident in Zhengyang Gate!"

Zhu Youzhang smiled reluctantly: "Eunuch Xiao doesn't have to worry about me. I'm health much better... I feel so relieved. Everyone thinks that the Chen Qing family has died for the country. Who would have thought that he would kill him from Tumu Fort? I didn't believe in the Chen Qing family, nor did Xie Qing family."

"If Chen Qing's family leads troops back to the city, I will definitely be rewarded... but he is too young and has not experienced many things yet. I am afraid that his future path will go astray..."

When Xiao Jing heard that Zhu Youzang's evaluation of Chen Xi was so high, he hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that you told me that you shouldn't be reused... Shen Zhongcheng?"

Zhu Youzhang's expression stagnated. After a while, he seemed to remember something and sighed: "The Chen Qing family is a Hanlin official who was ranked three years old. They are involved in both internal and external affairs. I think he is very sharp and not the choice of loyal ministers and good generals. I don't want to make great achievements now... Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors and Wang Mang's humility had not usurped the times. He wanted to die at the beginning, but who knows the authenticity of his life... What I told him before, you should not forget it!"

Xiao Jing was confused at this time. Zhu Youzhang praised Chen Xi very much, and asked him to be careful, which made Xiao Jing feel extremely conflicted. He himself had no grudges with Chen Xi, and he did not want to have any head-on conflict with Chen Xi. After all, there is Xie Qian behind Chen Xi.

"Eunuch Xiao, do you remember what I said?" Zhu Youzhang asked.

Xiao Jing replied: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the prince won't listen to the advice of me... Recently, the prince has called Shen Zhongcheng and Mr. Yi, and he has praised him in his words. If the prince continues this trust, in the future... I dare not think about it!"
