Travel back in time and become Chongzhen, watch me turn the tide

After entering the tenth month of the lunar calendar, the climate in Jinan suddenly dropped. At this time, the guards guarding the city gate were still wearing thin military uniforms, and they were shivering when a cold wind blew.

Because of the Qingzhou Incident, the entire city of Jinan is now under martial law, and all the city gates have been closed to guard against a sudden attack by the Ming army.

At Qichuan Gate, the east gate of Jinan City, the guards on the city wall hid in the leeward place to bask in the sun to avoid the cold north wind.

At this moment, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats sounded. Outside the city gate, a group of cavalrymen with about a hundred people came from the east. The people on the horses were wearing tattered iron armor and looked in a miserable state.

"Who is guarding the city gate?" A group of people came up on horseback and shouted loudly.

"Where are you from?" Just when these people were shouting impatiently, a head popped out from the city wall and asked loudly.

"We are from Qingzhou. Open the city gate quickly!"

"Qingzhou?" The people on the city wall were stunned and asked, "Hasn't Qingzhou already fallen? Who are you?"

"We are the subordinates of Lord Wang Aoyong," the visitor said. "Lord Wang Aoyong was injured in the previous battle. Why don't you open the door quickly and ask the doctor to treat Lord Wang's injuries!"

"What happened?" At this time, the city gate officer Li Yue came over and asked.

"Sir, a group of people came outside. They said they were subordinates of Lord Wang Aoyong and were escorting Lord Wang from Qingzhou," the soldier said hurriedly.

"Master Wang, he escaped?" Li Yue was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly asked, "Have you seen Master Wang?"

"They said Lord Wang was injured and asked us to open the city gate quickly so that Lord Wang could recover quickly," the soldier scratched his head and said, "We don't know Lord Wang and don't know whether we should open the city gate..."

"This..." Li Yue was also a little stunned. He had never seen Wang Aoyong. He could not open the city gate for them based on what these people said.

But if the city gate is not opened, and if Lord Wang cannot get medical treatment, whatever consequences may arise, Li Yue is worried that his head will be in danger.

"Sir Wang, I am responsible for defending the city, and I need to confirm your identity." Li Yue thought for a moment and called out to the people below the city: "Could you please raise your head?"

Although Li Yue had never seen Wang Aoyong, he had heard of him from others and probably knew what he looked like. He asked Wang Aoyong to look up at this time just to see if the visitor would feel guilty.

Upon hearing this, Wang Aoyong did not hesitate and looked up at the city wall.

Li Yue looked closely and found that the man's body shape, facial features, were similar to those of Wang Aoyong mentioned by others.

"It should be fine," Li Yue hesitated for a moment, unsure in his heart, and could only say: "Qingzhou is in chaos now, Jinan Prefecture is empty, and Lord Fang has strictly ordered that the city gates cannot be opened at will..."

"Why, even I can't go in?" Wang Aoyong took a deep breath and said weakly.

"Our Lord Wang has been seriously injured by bandits and needs medical treatment urgently. Please open the city gates immediately and let him in!"

"This..." Li Yue hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "You guys wait outside for now. I'll report to Lord Fang right away!"

Although it seemed that these people did not have any problems, Li Yue was a cautious person. To prevent any accidents, he decided to report to the Governor Fang Dayou first.

"Sir, the gatekeeper won't be fooled," it was Zhao Yingyuan who had just shouted. Seeing that the gatekeeper refused to open the gate, he felt a little impatient and whispered to Zhang Huangyan beside him, "How about we storm it?"

At this time, behind them, 5,000 new troops and 10,000 newly trained soldiers had been waiting for a long time. As soon as they received the news, they would rush up to join the battle.

"No," Zhang Huangyan looked at the top of the city wall, shook his head and said, "They don't actually doubt us, they are just being cautious..."

"But they have gone to find Fang Dayou. When he comes, we will be exposed," Zhao Yingyuan said anxiously.

"I have a plan," Zhang Huangyan smiled slightly and whispered to the man pretending to be Wang Aoyong, "Pretend to collapse and fall off your horse!"

The man who pretended to be Wang Aoyong was an excellent actor. After listening to what Zhang Huangyan said, his body shook and he fell to the ground from his horse!

"Sir, Sir Wang, what happened to you?" Zhang Huangyan saw this and shouted, "Open the door quickly! Sir Wang has fainted. If anything happens to him, I will not forgive you!"

"Gatekeeper, open the gate for me!" Zhao Yingyuan shouted. "If you don't open the gate, I'm going to attack the city gate!"

"Sir, please open it," the old soldier beside him whispered, "These people are the confidants of Lord Wang Aoyong. If we offend them now, will they forgive us when Lord Wang enters the city? Why bother..."

"Well, I think we should be more careful," the city gate officer said with a sigh.

"But Lord Wang just fainted from his horse," the old soldier advised with a wry smile, "It's already this late. If you don't open the city gates, you'll really offend them. Why bother?"

"All right," the city gate officer sighed and said, "Pass the order down and open the city gate!"

Seeing the tall city gate slowly opening, Zhang Huangyan's palms were already full of sweat. It seemed that his gamble was right this time. These people were still afraid of offending the Death King Ao Yong.

"Hold your composure and wait until we enter the city before taking action," Zhang Huangyan whispered, "Leave one person behind to send a signal once we enter!"

The more than one hundred people who came with him this time were all carefully selected elites. Each of them could fight ten men at once. As long as they could enter the city, controlling this city gate would naturally be a piece of cake.

Seeing the city gate wide open, Zhang Huangyan waved his hand and everyone slowly walked towards the gate.

At this time, after receiving the news that Wang Aoyong had arrived at Jichuan Gate, Fang Dayou hurriedly stood up and prepared to go to the gate to greet him. Just as they walked out of the government office, a firework suddenly exploded in the air.

"Where is that?" Fang Dayou looked in the direction and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, so he asked.

"It should be Jichuan Gate," Gao You looked in the direction, frowned and said, "But who would set off fireworks at this time?"

"Oh no! Is there something wrong over there?" Fang Dayou's face changed, and he said hurriedly, "Quick, take people there quickly to prevent any changes!"

Gaoyou couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. In order to expand as quickly as possible, the newly recruited soldiers were sent to various parts of Shandong. How many soldiers were left in the city of Jinan?

During this period, they recruited soldiers on a large scale. Now there are only two thousand people in Jinan City. Those who went out to defend the city, and now there are only more than two hundred people around Fang Dayou!

Even so, Gaoyou quickly mobilized its troops and rushed towards Jichuan Gate at full speed. However, before they arrived, a soldier came to report: "Jichuan Gate has been lost, and a large group of Ming troops are heading towards Jinan City..."
