Chapter 74: Outwitting Juyongguan

Hearing the adjutant general's screams, and then falling from his horse and dying, the soldiers were stunned. But before they could react,

A beautiful woman riding a war horse with the lieutenant snorted coldly, flew down from the war horse, raised her leg and kicked the lieutenant's corpse aside.

"Brothers and sisters, do it."

As soon as she gave the order, a team of fifty people immediately took out their weapons from the carriage and rushed up to slash at the group of soldiers.

The caravan was the Red Lady and Yan Yingyuan pretending, and the two of them were holding steel knives and slashing several people in a row, which was unstoppable.

"Oh my God, what's going on?"

The Juyong guards who escorted the caravan were stunned when they saw that the caravan had become a murderous maniac in seconds, and when they reacted, twenty or thirty people had already been killed.

If the soldiers of Juyongguan have not been trained for a long time, they have long been disheartened, and their combat effectiveness is almost equal to zero, how can they be the well-trained and elite opponents of the Ming Dynasty.

Under the leadership of the Red Lady and Yan Yingyuan, fifty elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty quickly killed most of the defenders who escorted them.

It's okay to bully and bully the common people in peacetime, but it's not okay to really fight, and the remaining soldiers don't dare to fight, so they run in all directions.

At the same time, two cavalry suddenly sprang out of the mountains and forests outside the city gate, and their speed was amazingly fast, like two whirlwinds.

By the time Du Zhizhi found out that something was wrong, they had already arrived at the city.

"It's not good, close the city gates, there are enemy troops outside the city."

"Pull up the drawbridge and close the gates"

"Flutter Flutter Flutter ......"

Pull up the drawbridge and close the gates?

How can it be so simple, the Red Lady and Yan Yingyuan led fifty elite soldiers, and after a burst of killing, most of the defenders of Juyongguan City Gate were killed.

There are still a few carriages on the suspension bridge, and the carriages are full of military rations, no matter how Du Zhizhi shouts, the suspension bridge is difficult to pull up for a while.

The Xuanjia Iron Rider instantly rushed onto the suspension bridge, and the Mo knife in his hand rose and fell, cutting the suspension bridge iron cable, and then entered the Juyong Pass.

After the suspension bridge iron cable was cut off, Li Yan led the army to the city, and the Ming army quickly entered the city.

The defenders of the city were killed and wounded by a burst of cavalry, and they could not organize an effective resistance.

They were already in a weak position, and the weapons in their hands were not good, as long as they touched the Mo knife in the hands of the Ming cavalry, they would be broken in half in an instant.

The defenders of Juyong Pass had never seen such a mighty army, and the soldiers who were not killed fell to their knees and raised their hands in surrender.

As soon as Du Zhizhi saw that the general trend was gone, he knew that returning to Daming was also a dead end, so he led three hundred cronies to prepare to escape from another city gate.

"Stand still and put down your weapons, or you'll be killed."

But as soon as they reached the city gate, suddenly a group of red-clothed women appeared in front of them, about fifty or sixty men, all of whom were armed with flintlock pistols.

Du Zhizhi began to be taken aback, and when he saw clearly that there were only a few dozen people on the opposite side, he hurriedly shouted:

"Shoot them and get out of the city."

Every officer in the Ming Dynasty had his own personal guard, and almost all of the salaries they deducted from other soldiers were used to train their own personal guards.

These guards will not fight for the country, nor will they listen to the emperor, they are loyal to the master who cultivated them, and Du Zhizhi is of course no exception.

As soon as he gave the order, his guards raised their firearms one after another, but before they could light the fire, the red lady waved her hand violently, and the flintlock pistol in the hands of the women's army began to shoot.

"Hit hard"

"Bang Bang ......"

The red lady gave an order, and a burst of gunfire rang out.

The female soldiers in the front row finished shooting, and immediately loaded the bullets, and the female soldiers in the back row immediately stepped forward to raise their guns to shoot, and the two rows of female soldiers took turns shooting, and the guards next to Du Zhizhi fell one after another.

Du Zhizhi only discovered at this time that the firearm in the hand of the women's army on the opposite side did not need to be ignited at all, and it could shoot immediately, and its performance was obviously much stronger than that of the firecracker.

When the fire was successfully lit by his personal guard, the muzzle of the gun had not had time to be aimed at the female soldier, and the flintlock pistol in the female soldier's hand spewed out tongues of fire again.

In dozens of breaths, there were only five or six of the guards who could stand next to Du Zhizhi, and nearly three hundred guards were killed by fifty of the opponents.

Du Zhizhi's legs trembled, unknown water traces began to appear under his feet, and there was an unpleasant smell, and the old eunuch was frightened and incontinent.

"Adult ......"

The few guards beside him were quite loyal, and they were still using their bodies to protect Du Zhizhi at this time.

If it weren't for their sworn protection of Du Zhizhi, he would have been killed a long time ago.

The red lady waved her hand to stop shooting, and looked at Du Zhizhi coldly, she felt that this old man should be a person with Juyongguan's identity and wanted to capture Du Zhizhi alive.

"Stepping on ......"

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and Li Yan led two hundred Xuanjia iron horsemen to the north city gate.

As soon as he arrived here, he recognized Du Zhizhi.

When Du Zhizhi opened the gate of Juyong Pass and surrendered to the Liukou, Li Yan was a famous strategist of the Liukou, and they met.

"Du Zhizhi, Du Jianjun, Du Gonggong"

Li Yan called out the three names of Du Zhizhi in one breath, of course, there are official names, as well as real names and eunuch names.

Du Zhizhi was hiding among the guards with his eyes closed, when he suddenly heard someone call his name.

The old eunuch opened his eyes and saw that it was like seeing his own father, and he knelt down in front of Li Yanma with an ordinary sound:

"General Li help, I am Du Zhizhi, all this is a misunderstanding, I was ordered to guard Juyong Pass, we are all Dashun Army, you can't kill me."

This guy thought that there had been a misunderstanding, how could he have thought that Li Yan had now become the governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty and was ordered to recover the lost territory.

Yan Yingyuan came late, he didn't know what was going on, he looked back at Li Yan, and didn't understand the relationship here for a while.

Li Yan laughed:

"Du Zhizhi, who is with you, I am the governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty, what are you, just a gelding."

"Someone come, break his limbs, and send him back to Beijing to be dealt with by the emperor."

"Don't, please ask the general to pass the villain once, you just treat the villain as a fart, let the villain go, the villain must be a good man."

Du Zhizhi was greedy for life and afraid of death, so when the Liukou army was approaching the city, he surrendered the Liukou without a fight, and he didn't even discuss it with Tang Tong.

As a result, when he heard that Li Yan was going to send him to see Chongzhen, this guy was scared and cried.

Chongzhen's temper Du Zhizhi knows best, he hates the person who betrayed him the most, and even Yuan Chonghuan deceived him and was killed, not to mention a eunuch.

If he is sent to Emperor Chongzhen, it will definitely end up with a thousand cuts.

Yan Yingyuan heard that he now understood what was going on, it turned out that the emperor had sent him to be the supervisor, and the old eunuch actually took the lead in surrendering to the rogue, he snorted coldly:

"Du Zhizhi, you are also worthy of being a man? Dogs are inferior, dogs' loyalty to their owners is not comparable to you, so be prepared to scrape it alive today. ”

"Who are you? Why is it so ruthless. ”

Du Zhizhi looked at Yan Yingyuan, he hadn't seen it at all, a young man actually dared to intervene in Li Yan's affairs.
