I am the commander of the loyal battalion, and Li Jin, the rejuvenating country, is now under the command of Liu Wenxiu, the commander of the Northern Expedition, the king of Shu, and the deputy commander Ma Jinzhong. I am now the rejuvenating candidate of the Ming Dynasty and the commander of the Ming army, but I once had an identity, and I can't hide it, my original name was Li Guo, and I was called 'a tiger'. ”

"It's really you!" Li Jizong's blood flowed backwards, and he immediately pulled out a knife and put it on Li Jin's neck, but Li Jin didn't even hide, he still stood tall with Tong Tou in his arms. Even Zhang Zhiyou and Yuan Xiaohu were like ignited cannonballs, almost ready to explode at any time.

"Calm down, generals! Rong Li Jin finished speaking, and then you will kill if you want to. ”

"Hmph, you killed my eldest brother with your own hands back then, what else do you have to say now? There must be a grudge to repay the grievance, there is a revenge to take revenge, and the truth of killing to pay for one's life! ”

Li Jin smiled, "You are still not a military household of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Of course, my Li family has been a military household of the Ming Dynasty for generations!"

Zhang Zhiyou and Yuan Xiaohu also said yes.

"Since you are a military household of the Ming Dynasty, don't you want to see me, the official, now? By the emperor's order, Tongguan City was thereafter garrisoned by the Loyal Battalion. ”

Several people were stunned, and the bigger surprise was still behind, Li Jin actually took out another holy decree from his waist, "This is the will given to the military households in Tongguan today, see for yourself." ”

Zhang Zhiyou took the holy decree and read it, and then held the holy decree tightly in his hand, "Brother Zhang, what is written on the holy decree?" Li Jizong asked.

"The holy decree allows us to Tongguan military households, temporarily listen to the dispatch of Xingguohou, after the end of the Northwest War, all Tongguan military households will be included in the Ming Imperial Camp Forbidden Army."

"What? At his disposal? Li Jizong jumped three feet high, and Zhang Zhiyou drank: "What's the noise?" Li Jizong, do you dare to resist the decree? ”

Li Jizong swallowed a breath, Zhang Zhiyou patted him on the shoulder and said, "The holy decree also orders the military households in Tongguan, the son to step the father, and the younger brother to the brother, in the order of the eldest and youngest, inherit the former position of the father and brother, and jointly participate in the national disaster." ”

Li Jizong's voice didn't know whether it was despair or excitement, but Li Jin hooked his lips and smiled: "Hehehe, then Li Jin has to congratulate you, Commander Zhang, Li Yanshi, Yuan Qianhu?" ”

Several people looked at Li Jin silently and didn't speak, Li Jin continued, "I know you hate me, but now is not the time to settle personal grievances, the city gates on the north, south and east sides still need me to join hands with the kings to capture, just wait for our army to take Guanzhong and Ganzhou Suzhou, if any of you want to take revenge, you can come to me, I, Li Jin, can fight with you in the ring and sign a life and death contract with you, how about it?" ”

"Okay, remember what you said today, let's make a decision, and when the time comes, I, Li Jizong, will definitely find you!" Li Jizong is not a reckless man who doesn't know the general situation, so he agreed in one bite.

Yuan Xiaohu also said, "Okay, I'll be counted as one when the time comes!" ”

Li Jin looked at him, although he was level with the gun, his figure was very thin, I am afraid that over the years, his life as a weak-crowned young man with a long body has not been easy, so Li Jin said: "Doll, if you want to fight with me, you still need to step up your martial arts practice to practice guns, my Li Jin's knife, don't kill the doll." ”

"You!" Yuan Xiaohu picked up the gun in his hand, and Zhang Eryou shouted, "Xiaohu, stop!" Then he took the lead and gave a military salute to Li Jin, "The new commander of the Tongguan Guard, Zhang Eryou, has seen Master Hou!" The soldiers behind Zhang Eryou also immediately saluted Li Jin with him, and said in unison: "I've seen Master Hou!" ”

Li Jizong no longer hesitated, his dark eyes flashed with compelling brilliance, but he still hugged his fists and said with Yuan Xiaohu: "The last general Li Jizong and the last general Yuan Xiaohu have seen Master Hou." ”

"Well, okay, to be your Shangguan, I, Li Jin, also have mixed feelings in my heart, but today, we, the veterans of the Dashun Army, are going to fight back to back with you, the military households of Tongguan, and fight side by side.

Li Jin was not worried that their conversation would delay the fighter, after all, Tongguan had become a Jedi for the Qing army, and it had been occupied by the Ming army and the rebel army on all sides, and the defenders of the three city walls had nowhere to go even if they wanted to escape.

The pupils of the defenders on three sides were dilated, and the people were panicked, and they saw that the black pressure under the city was full of enemies, with Li Jin, Zhang Zhiyou, and Li Jizong taking the lead, surging towards the city gates on three sides like a tide, and there were many children like Yuan Xiaohu in the wave, as well as old people with gray sideburns.

The rest of the battle is not exciting at all, the defenders have no fighting spirit, they are almost about to collapse, and even if they want to fight, there are only hundreds of defenders on each city wall, but the wave composed of tens of thousands of old and young masters in the city will definitely shoot them on the beach, and Li Jin's two thousand ironclad elites are the core of the battle, and there is no suspense in this battle at all.

The three city walls were also taken down in an instant, and most of the defenders chose to surrender, Li Jin did not kill all the prisoners this time, he just did that, just to deter the remaining defenders.

Next, he ordered all the troops to patrol the city to clear out the remnants of the enemy who were hiding, but the remaining stragglers had nowhere to hide, they would die wherever they ran, and there were Tongguan soldiers everywhere who wanted to tear them apart, and regardless of men, women and children, the people of Tongguan in the Ming Dynasty almost participated in the battle.

This battle appeared in the commentaries of later generations, and became the talk of many Han people after dinner.

On the top of many eaves of the Tongguan, on the other side of the courtyard wall, and behind the wooden door, there are stuffy sticks everywhere that can beat the defenders to death, so that the remnants of the Qing army are like rats crossing the street, and there is nowhere to hide. Guanzhong men, women and children, once the enemy of life and death, the Qin army and the Dashun army on this day side by side, back to back, together outside, to the noon of the same day, the defenders of Tongguan from the Han army Xianghongqi Meile Zhangjing Tong Tho, 2000 people, the whole army was annihilated.

When Li Jin raided and captured Tongguan, good news from all over the country was also frequent.

Fu Qingzhu of Shanxi has also led 25,000 rebel troops to occupy Hejin County one after another, as well as Longmendu, the Yellow River ferry west of Hejin County, and Hancheng County, Shaanxi Province, west of Longmendu.

Liu Tichun also bypassed the siege of Xi'an and arrived in northern Shaanxi, and after occupying Yan'an Prefecture, he went all the way north to absorb the rebel army Wang Yongqiang and Wang Yongzhen in Shaanxi and accepted the Yanchuan County and Qingjian County occupied by these rebels, and joined forces with the rebel army to take Wubao County in Suide Prefecture and control the east bank of the Yellow River crossing at the mouth of Wubao River.

Liu Tichun not only occupied northern Shaanxi, but his army also increased from the initial 10,000 men to nearly 180,000 after merging the rebel armies.

The rapid growth of Ma San, Liu Tichun and others relied on the Sun and Moon Banner of the Ming Dynasty.
