In September, the ice frost and snow began to drift in most parts of Shanxi, the cold wind from Siberia was as cruel as a knife, and the fierce beasts in the mountains and forests all rose up, not daring to face the terrifying power of nature.

However, this did not stop the offensive of the displaced army.

Jinbei.

Ning Wu Guanxia.

The twilight had gradually fallen, but the huge battle formation of the Wandering People's Army still had no intention of stopping, and continued to launch their seventh wave of offensive today.

"Woo~~Woo~~"

Accompanied by the roar of the trumpet, the five or six thousand hungry pioneers, under the coercion of the elite of the old battalion of more than a thousand exiled people's army behind them, stepped on the corpses everywhere, against the cold wind like knives, shouting, roaring, burning all the energy in their bodies, and the tide generally attacked towards Ningwu Guancheng.

"Haha, it's all for Lao Tzu to go up, they can't hold it! Passing on Lao Tzu's military order, those who are the first to break the city today will be promoted to three levels and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver! ”

In the front camp of the Wandering People's Army, under the flying banner, Hao Shaoqi's elite armor was covered with a suede vest, just like the nouveau riche wearing mink in later generations, smoking dry tobacco while laughing recklessly.

"Hao Ye has an order, the first to break the city, the official will be promoted to the third level, and the reward will be a thousand taels of silver!"

"Hao Ye has an order, the first to break the city, the official will be promoted to the third level, and the reward will be 1,000 taels of silver......"

The guards around him quickly passed his order to the front, making the countless hungry people who were already raging and restless suddenly more tyrannical, and their voices were about to shout hoarse, and they rushed forward even more desperately.

At this time, the Wandering People's Army's attack method of 'sweeping the sand in a big wave' may seem inhumane, but history has proven that this is a very effective and incomparably fast way to train troops.

The exile army conscripts hungry people, and it has always been a refusal to come, as long as it is a leader.

This leads to a mixed mix of good and bad.

But they did not block the road to ascent, as long as you have the ability, can kill the enemy, and can make meritorious contributions, you will be promoted and rich, step on the heads of others, and even be accepted as the core.

Coupled with the huge power of the Exile Army at this time, even if they are cowardly, in this environment, they will give birth to blood and want to fight for a future with their lives.

"Hehe, Hao Shaoqi, it's available."

In the Chinese army, Liu Zongmin looked at Hao Shaoqi like a reckless man embroidering, accurately controlling the rhythm of the audience, and couldn't help but smile and nod.

He didn't want to come to Ningwuguan, after all, it was too cold here, and it was snowing all the time, he didn't want to come to suffer this crime, and the direction of Baoding on the eastern front was much better than Shanxi.

But Zhou Yuji actually lasted two more days than he expected, which made Liu Zongmin also interested, so he came over to see in person who this Ming general, who had blocked the righteous army for seven or eight days, was sacred.

"Hehe, what you said is very true. I also recently discovered that this guy looks like a reckless man, but he is thick and fine, and in time, he may become a pillar of my righteous army. ”

Gao Yigong smiled beside him.

Although he is related to Li Zicheng, he understands Liu Zongmin's position better at this time, and in the face of Liu Zongmin, he can only laugh and flatter.

However, Rao is Gao Yigong's superficial kung fu is good, but Liu Zongmin still quickly captured Gao Yigong's emotions, and said with a smile: "Old Gao, this is also your discernment." If it weren't for the fact that you had worn off the sharpness of this week's Yuji before, Hao Shaoqi would not have been so comfortable today. ”

When Gao Yigong heard this, his heart suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "You Hou, my righteous army and military still have to rely on you......

Just when Liu Zongmin and Gao Yigong were chatting freely and began to distribute the post-war benefits of Chiguoguo, at the head of Ningwu Guancheng, Zhou Yuji's group of new troops and remnants of the army also reached the last moment.

"Brothers, hold on, hold on, drive these straight thieves down, let's drink broth and eat steamed buns together tonight!"

"Third brother, third brother!! Ahh ”

"Be careful ...... your head"

"Two Sons ......"

"Dashuai, Dashuai, you can't go to the front......"

The city was littered with corpses, and even though many were frozen in ice, there were still more fresh corpses, and hot blood broke through the cold and surged everywhere.

Under the city, on the frozen moat, the wandering army no longer even used ladders, and directly used corpses and a small number of sand bags to pile up several large slopes, which could be rushed up directly.

Rao is mottled corpse of the wandering army in the corpse, much more than the corpse of the Ming army in the red mandarin duck battle jacket, but the number of the wandering army is too much, Zhou Yuji is already the remnants of the new army, and the logistics supply can't keep up, and after fighting all day, Zhou Yuji has a personality charm, and it is already the end of the strong crossbow.

"Kill!"

"Over there, Zhou Yuji is over there!"

"Haha, brethren, rush! slaughtered Zhou Yuji, everyone was promoted and made a fortune! ”

"Chong, slaughtered Zhou Yuji......"

At this time, as the elite of the Wandering People's Army rushed up on several dirt slopes and slaughtered a large area of space, the situation quickly triggered a chain reaction, and countless people followed closely and rushed straight to the direction of Zhou Yuji's handsome banner.

"Dashuai, no, I can't stand it, let's take a step back first, wow......"

Zhou Yuji's pro-military battalion has long been regarded as a reserve and is about to run out, at this time, there are only seven or eight people by his side, but everyone is injured and not in shape.

Seeing that the Wandering People's Army had already rushed over here, Zhou Yuji was about to rush over there with a shout, and the commander of the personal soldiers around him hurriedly hugged him to prevent him from being impulsive.

Several of the pro-soldiers were also teary-eyed.

In this battle, it's not that they didn't do their best, it's not that they didn't work hard, it's really too big a disparity between the enemy and us......

There are only five or six thousand people, and the equipment and grain and grass are all uneven, but they have to face the hundreds of thousands of troops of the displaced people's army......

Who would believe it if they didn't experience it firsthand?

"Let go of me!"

"Let go of me!"

Zhou Yuji roared like a tiger, and suddenly broke away from the commander of the pro-soldiers: "We have received the emperor's favor in the world, and at this time, we are loyal to the country and coexist with the city, how can we escape?" Sons, kill the enemy with me! ”

Before he could finish speaking, he had already rushed forward.

Zhou Yuji really had no choice at this time.

Just this morning, the Son of Heaven commended him for his meritorious service in defending the city, which had just been issued, and it was impossible for him to break through even if he wanted to.

Zhou Yuji's hometown is in Liaodi, and he belongs to the lowest military household, and he climbs up all the way with his military exploits.

However, the intricacies of Liaodi, without a foundation, even if Liaodi is his hometown, there is no door to go up at all, and he has no choice but to leave his hometown.

I thought that this life would be like this, and the muddy nightmare was the past, but he didn't expect that the invasion of Shanxi by the Wandering People's Army gave him such the best opportunity.

He really seized this opportunity and listened to the heavens, and his name has been read by the Son of Heaven and the bigwigs almost every day in the past few days.

However, just like when he was in his hometown of Jinzhou, the situation in Shanxi is not much easier than that in Liaodi.

He had no foundation at all, no strong support......

Blood courage can support for a while, but how can it support a lifetime?

After exhausting his years of accumulation in Shanxi, the situation was completely out of his control.

"Kill the thief! Kill! ”

Zhou Yuji is also really brave, even if he is already in his forties, even if he is exhausted, after rushing into the hideous battle formation of the homeless army, he is still vigorous, and he has cut down three or four people one after another, and the elite of the old camp of the homeless army was kicked to the ground by him, and he just knocked it on the city wall, and a few of his front teeth were broken, and his face was suddenly covered with blood, and he screamed in pain.

"Dog thing, you're looking for death!"

"Poof—"

This group of elites of the wandering army are all soldiers of a hundred battles, and when he has been recuperating for a long time, he just kicked the old battalion soldiers here, and next to him, someone's spear directly stabbed into his right armpit, and the end was a steady and ruthless!

"Hmm......"

Zhou Yuji's tired body suddenly stiffened, and he wanted to say something, but he only felt a tumbling in his trachea, something was rushing out, and he coughed again and again.

But he still turned his head with difficulty, wanting to see what the thief who killed him really looked like.

"Fuck your mother's turtle grandson, dare to look at your grandfather!"

"Huh!"

The elite of the Liumin Army didn't buy his account at all, and reacted very quickly, directly discarded the spear in his hand, pulled out the saber on his waist with his backhand, and slashed it directly at Zhou Yuji's neck.

“……”

Suddenly, blood splattered, Zhou Yuji didn't blink an eye, and the head was still subconsciously looking at the elite of the people's army......

The elite of the people's army ignored him at all, laughed and let Zhou Yuji's hot blood splash his face, and violently lifted Zhou Yuji's head and raised it high above his head: "The enemy general Zhou Yuji is dead, haha, the official dog is finished!" ”

"Oh-"

"Zhang Ye is mighty, Dashun is mighty!"

"Dashun Wansheng ......"

A shocking wave suddenly erupted in the battle array of the Wandering People's Army, cheering and cheering, until the sky was about to be destroyed.

How could the rest of the Ming army dare to fight? Many people even threw away their weapons directly, only hating their father and mother for having two legs missing, crying and running for their lives.

"Long live the king......"

"Long live Dashun......"

Between the fine snowflakes, on the head of the towering Ningwu Pass City, only the surging shouts of the hormones of the Wandering People's Army remained.

……

If it was said before, Da Ming was almost removed from the bottom. pants, but there is always Zhou Yuji's fig leaf, which can barely block the key point.

Emperor Chongzhen really did not hesitate to reward this fierce general from the grassroots, and was directly promoted to the chief military officer in a short period of time, and the tree was an example.

But with the death of Zhou Yuji, even the body was not preserved, just like Xiang Yu back then, he was carved up and fought for merit, and the Huanghuang Ming Dynasty was almost stripped naked!

The news was transmitted back to Beijing early the next morning.

Emperor Chongzhen had raised fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver at this time, and was preparing to transfer troops from Beijing to support Zhou Yuji in the past, but before the bigwigs in the court were entangled in good candidates, the news that Ningwu Pass was lost and Zhou Yuji's bones were gone, and it came over......

“……”

“……”

“……”

In the magnificent Imperial Palace, the original noise was like someone choking the neck, and it suddenly became a dead silence, and the needle drop could be heard.

Emperor Chongzhen's face had been frozen on the spot, and after a long time, he wanted to move, but he couldn't move, leaving only the disobedient muscles twitching again and again.

Immediately, even the muscles stopped twitching, as if they were frozen in ice.

The bigwigs in the hall had gradually come back to their senses at this time, but no one dared to say a word......

Ningwu Pass was broken, what kind of concept is this?

This will mean that Shanxi will collapse completely, and the main force of thieves will soon enter Datong and Xuanfu......

But the imperial court is in Datong and Xuanfu, and it has long been without much combat power......

This is really a trick from God.

Previously, Xu Changqing protected Yang Guozhu, the chief military officer and veteran of Xuanfu Town, and Li Fuming, the former chief military officer and veteran of Shanxi, in Songjin.

If these two veterans are general, even if the situation collapses, there is always a little room for maneuver.

But Li Fuming accidentally fell from his horse and died on the way back to Shanxi from Beijing that year, and the veteran Yang Guozhu successfully returned to the Xuanda station after being rewarded, but he was old after all, and it didn't take long for him to catch a heavy wind......

Although Yang Guozhu has not died at this time, he is already similar to a vegetative person, and his son, who took over his position, not only does not have his ability to do one-twelfth, but the loser is playing a slippery game, and the veteran who can fight in the Xuanfu army, who is dissatisfied with him, has already been almost assigned by him.

This is really a roof leak that happened to rain overnight, and the broken ship encountered a head wind......

At this time, the Ming Dynasty, in addition to having some combat strength in Datong, was almost undefended from the control area of the Liumin Army to the hinterland of the Beijing Division......
