Chapter 14: The Holy Maiden Appears

Qi Jiguang ordered someone to check the ammunition and so on, and immediately wanted Zhu Youzhen to report: "Back to the emperor, there is still some ammunition, but it must be replenished tomorrow, otherwise it will affect the battle." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said:

"Okay, I know, I'll replenish the soldiers with ammunition tonight, and this gold sore medicine will be used to treat the injured soldiers."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Some people say that the strength of the Liukou is not strong at all, and when they encounter the Eastern Captivity, they are almost defeated with one blow.

This is all one-sided, the Liukou is known as a million-strong army, there are a lot of hungry militias and the surrendered Ming army is good, but there are also very elite infantry and cavalry.

Among them are 50,000 heavily armored elite cavalry, all of them are riding two horses, which is better than the cavalry in the east, and there are also 50,000 elite infantry, these elites are Li Zicheng's core strength.

As for the history of being defeated by the Eastern Captivity, there are other reasons, the Battle of Shanhaiguan because of a sandstorm.

The eastern captivity is to go with the wind, and the rogue is to go up against the wind, and the rogue cavalry can't open their eyes, how to fight.

You must know that before the Eastern Capture did not send troops, Wu Sangui was almost completely annihilated by Li Zicheng, and in the end, only a few light cavalry were left to break through with Wu Sangui.

In this siege, the Liukou army did not make any preparations, and went into battle in a hurry, which was a tactical failure of Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing, and they were too arrogant.

Niu Jinxing received information two days ago that not only did the head of the Jingshi City not have much gunpowder, but there were almost no soldiers defending the city.

Liu Zongmin's 100,000 army can break through the city gate at any time, but it really can't be done, Hao Shaoqi is still behind to support, so the elite of the Liukou didn't move at all.

They didn't expect that the Beijing division would have such a strong defense, and they actually repelled the two armies of Liu Zhongmin and Hao Shaoqi, and paid so many casualties.

Liu Zongmin originally wanted to take the lead, but the recruit camp was almost wiped out, and he angrily walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and shouted at Niu Jinxing.

"Niu Jinxing, what bullshit information do you have, there are not only 100 cannons at the head of the Jingshi City, but also tens of thousands of soldiers defending the city, and the tactical literacy is also very high, and my 100,000 people are almost wiped out."

"What? It can't be ......"

Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing stood up almost at the same time, and the 100,000 soldiers were almost wiped out, how could this be possible, there should be no problem with intelligence.

It was all the information provided by the Ming officials and the White Lotus Sect, if it changed a lot, the information of the two of them could not be the same, what was the problem.

"Huang Hu, don't worry about it first, something may be wrong, let's discuss it again and suspend the siege today."

"Yes, the siege is suspended today, because it is inconvenient to carry, and we don't bring a lot of artillery, so we will go all out to attack the city tomorrow and strive to break through the Beijing Division in one fell swoop."

Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing both felt that something was wrong, the information sent by the Jingshi was completely useless, and they wanted to contact the anti-water officials in the city and the White Lotus Sect, and they would come to meet with each other tomorrow.

In a secret room of a temple in Jingshi, five men and a beautiful girl were discussing something, and a man who looked like a monk walked into the secret room with an arrow in his hand.

"Report to the Holy Maiden, Liu Zongmin failed to attack the city today, and the losses were very large, we received information that King Chuang asked us to take action tonight.

It is necessary to find out the deployment of the troops of the Beijing Division, it is best to quietly enter the palace to solve the Chongzhen Emperor, if Chongzhen is killed, the Ming Dynasty will have no leader, and then the inside and outside should join forces to break the Beijing Division. ”

"Yes, I'm also very strange, Emperor Chongzhen can't be transferred alone, how can so many troops suddenly appear, and many officials who are related to us were raided and wiped out overnight."

"Holy Maiden, the spies we planted in some officials' homes also collapsed overnight, and now almost none of them have come back to report, and they are probably all killed."

The people who spoke were none other than the White Lotus Sect's Holy Maiden Qinglian, as well as the White Lotus Sect's left and right envoys and the four protectors, who were originally the eight protectors, but they were killed by Zhu Youzhen and Cao Zhengchun in the early stage.

Qinglian is the current saintess of the White Lotus Sect, just more than a month after taking office as a saint, 18 years old this year, not only is she very beautiful and has a good figure, but also her martial arts are close to first-class, she is the current supreme commander of the White Lotus Sect in Beijing.

The White Lotus Mother had an agreement with King Chuang, and the White Lotus Sect helped King Chuang to attack the city and rebel against the Ming officials.

When attacking the city, he and King Chuang should be together, and after the city was broken, Qinglian married King Chuang, and the White Lotus Sect became the state religion of Dashun.

Li Zicheng had long taken a fancy to the young and beautiful Qinglian, and when he heard that Qinglian would marry him after breaking the city, Li Zicheng didn't even think about it, and agreed to Bailian's mother's conditions.

After hearing the reports of the two protectors, Qinglian fell into deep thought for a while, and she suddenly had a premonition that she seemed to have been deceived by Chongzhen.

There is obviously no one available in the capital division, where did those tens of thousands of horses come from, it is impossible to fall from the sky.

As the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, what ghosts and gods she says every day are all deceiving the common people, and she herself doesn't believe it at all.

Qinglian listened to the report of her subordinates, and was very angry in her heart.

Her efforts in Jingshi for so many days were almost destroyed by Emperor Chongzhen almost overnight, and Qinglian decided to take revenge.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how many sect members do we still have in Jingshi?"

"Hui Shengnu, there are about five hundred people, and there are also some Ming officials and squires who have been brainwashed by us, all of which should add up to more than a thousand people."

Hearing the Holy Maiden's questioning, the White Lotus Left Envoy reported the general situation to the Holy Maiden.

Knowing that there were still more than a thousand people in the team, the saint's face softened a little, and she nodded and ordered:

"Spread the decree of the Holy Maiden, start acting tonight, first get rid of Emperor Chongzhen, and the Holy Maiden wants to see who those people are still defending the city for.

Tomorrow, the time has come to cooperate with King Chuang to open the city gate and test my White Lotus Holy Sect, I hope you will not disappoint my mother. ”

"Obey the law and follow the instructions of the Holy Maiden."

Qianqing Palace

Zhu Youzhen and Yue Nu A Qing returned to the palace and brought back to the Qianqing Palace more than 200 palace maids and eunuchs who had behaved well in the morning.

Zhu Youzhen left more than 20 palace maids and more than a dozen eunuchs, and the others asked them to go to Cining Palace to wait for Princess Changping.

Such a big harem, although the mother and the imperial concubine are gone, the staff still want it, at least someone must do it for cooking and hygiene.

As soon as Zhu Youzhen sat on the Taishi chair, Ah Qing came behind him and gently massaged his back and shoulders.

"A-Qing, you still know how to do this, it's very good."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment, those who practice martial arts can be familiar with and master people's acupuncture points, otherwise how can they be fatal with one blow when fighting with people."

Ah Qing's pretty face was slightly red by Zhu Youzhen's praise, and she was also a little moved in her heart, and her hands moved even harder.

Zhu Youzhen smiled and nodded, the characters rewarded by the system are really great, they never know how to oppose the host, and the orders and services to the host are in place.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you will get 400,000 war points for killing the enemy today."

"Ding, the host now has a chance to draw a lottery, may I ask if it is a lottery?"
