Outside Ningwu Pass, the 500,000 army led by Li Zicheng has already besieged the city for more than five days, in order to take this hard bone, Li Zicheng even sent his most elite old battalion, but in front of the majestic Xiongguan, there is no progress except for leaving countless corpses.

In the past few days, Zhou Yuji has tried his best to resist and constantly kill and wound the enemy with artillery, and the Dashun army has suffered heavy casualties.

"Big brother, give the last general another chance, I must capture this Ningwu Pass. Although Li Zicheng had already founded the country, Liu Fangliang and other old brothers were still used to calling him that.

"Okay, all the men and horses of the old battalion will be brought to me!" Li Zicheng made a bloody investment this time, he didn't believe that such a lonely city would actually block his 500,000 army here, he had to capture Ningwu, otherwise he would not win Beijing.

"The last general will obey the order!" After receiving the assistance of Li Zicheng's old battalion, Liu Fangliang was overjoyed and hurried down to prepare for the siege of the city.

"Brothers!" Liu Fangliang shouted loudly on his horse, "Break the city, no chickens and dogs will be left!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" Li Zicheng's artillery team, which had finally arrived, began to exert its might, constantly tilting the anger of the Dashun army on the city wall in the past few days. Cannonballs continued to explode on the city wall, and every time the cannon sounded, there were always a few unlucky officers and soldiers who were blown up.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Dashun infantry, which had long been ready, forcibly built a bridge, carrying a ladder and rushing towards the city wall.

At this time, the officers and soldiers on the city wall were having lunch, they did not expect that this rogue would actually distribute an attack at noon, and with the continuous sound of artillery fire, the defenders on the city tower began to move to their posts against the city wall, and began a new round of counterattack.

"Release, release!" Zhou Yuji kept urging his artillery team to open fire, and the black shells were sent into the cannon chamber, constantly roaring, and the officers and soldiers on the city tower began to shoot at each other with the rogues downstairs.

"Boom!" A small colonel had just put the shell into the barrel, but before it could be ignited, the already red chamber suddenly exploded, and the soldiers who couldn't dodge next to him were blown into the sky one after another, and their stumps fell to the ground with broken limbs and feet.

"General, the artillery time is too long, and we don't have many shells!" The adjutant general of the artillery unit reported the situation to Zhou Yuji almost with a sad face, as the commander of the artillery unit, of course he understood what it meant to lose the artillery!

Zhou Yuji was shocked, this artillery had a problem at this critical moment, but as the commander, he couldn't show this panic on his face, "Brothers, without artillery, we still have bows and arrows, and spears! We swear to live and die with Ning Wu!"

"Swear to live and die with Ning Wu!" Zhou Yuji's encouragement suddenly ignited the morale of the entire officers and soldiers defending the city.

"General, Madame personally led twenty female soldiers to the city to help in the battle!" Just as Zhou Yuji ordered to defend the city, the guards beside him hurriedly pointed to the Madame who was fighting in the distance and shouted loudly!

Zhou Yuji's wife, Liu, is a Mongolian, who has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and is extremely brave! At this time, she had already changed her dress and personally led her 20 female soldiers to the city to resist the enemy.

"Brothers, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the generals!" Liu's behavior of defending the city suddenly pushed the morale of the entire official army to the highest point, and every official and soldier had only one thought in their heads at this time.

"The official army has no artillery, and the official army has no artillery!" The soldiers of the Dashun Army, who had been ravaged by the official artillery under the city wall, suddenly felt that the artillery that had been roaring before stopped shelling, and shouted excitedly for a while.

Liu Fangliang, who personally led the troops to fight, saw that the official army had no artillery, and hurriedly took the lead in continuously attacking the city wall.

Without the support of artillery, the Dashun army under the city tower began to erect ladders, and soldiers kept climbing up with knives in their mouths.

At this time, the city tower kept throwing down rolling stones and trees, and the archers who had been preparing for a long time also began to shoot the rogue who climbed upward, and the rogue on the cloud ladder became a live target of the Ming army without any cover.

However, today's rogues did not retreat as before, but the greater the casualties, the more ferocious the attack of this group of rogues, with the continuous erection of a cloud ladder, there began to be rogues slowly climbed the city tower and fought with the Ming army.

"Die!" Liu Fangliang stabbed to death an officer and soldier who was about to throw down stones, and jumped onto the city tower and began to continuously harvest the heads of the defenders in the city.

The city tower is now in chaos, the Ming army and the Dashun army are mixed together, and both sides are fighting to the death for control of the city tower! With the influx of more and more Dashun troops, the Ming army on the city tower began to gradually lose its support and retreated.

"Kill!" Just when Liu Fangliang was glad that there were more and more Dashun troops on the city wall, Zhou Yuji's long-prepared reserve troops finally showed their fangs, and Zhou Yuji personally led this new force to launch a counterattack against the Dashun army.

The Dashun army, which had just gained a foothold by relying on a breath of air, was defeated and retreated by the Ming army that suddenly came, and it was finally able to stand firm on the wall and was driven down again, and the two armies were fighting under the city tower.

Li Zicheng's face on the hillside in the distance was extremely ugly, he originally thought that after investing all the strength of the old battalion, plus the cooperation of hundreds of thousands of troops to take Ningwu Pass, he should be able to capture it, but he didn't expect that the result would be like this.

"Mingjin retreats!" Li Zicheng reluctantly issued the order to retreat, at this time the Dashun army had lost the best opportunity to fight, and if they did not retreat at this time, it would only increase casualties in vain.

The low horn sounded continuously, and the Dashun army that came like a tide retreated as quickly as a tide, Liu Fangliang looked back unwillingly at Ning Wuguan, who had long been out of shape, and his heart was full of anger.

Li Zicheng made a big account, and some logistics officials had already reported today's battle damages, and the Dashun army suffered more than 30,000 casualties in today's war, and the old battalion alone suffered more than 2,000 casualties.

At this time, Li Zicheng's heart was dripping blood, this old camp was born and died with him, it can be said that it is the elite of the Dashun army, but now it has lost nearly 2,000 people and horses in the small Ningwu Pass, how can this not make Li Zicheng's heart ache.

"Your Majesty!" General Liu Fangliang is asking to see you outside the tent!" Just as Li Zichang sighed, the guards entered the tent and announced.

"Come in!" Li Zicheng waved his hand.

"Big brother, big brother and little brother are guilty, guilty!" At this time, Liu Fangliang was dressed in *, with thorns tied to his back, and knelt down with a thud as soon as he entered the tent.

"Brother, what are you doing here!" Liu Zongmin saw that Liu Fangliang was dressed like this, and hurriedly reached out to help.

"Brother Liu, the younger brother has lost so many old camp brothers and returned in vain, the little brother has no shame to face the big brothers!" After saying that, Liu Fangliang kept kowtowing and confessing, of course he understood the importance of the old camp to Li Zicheng.
