In the face of the flattery of the rich businessman, Inspector Sun readily accepted it and gave him a glass of wine in return, and praised: "Gu Yuanwai is really polite, which makes the governor a little flattered?" As soon as the words fell, a soldier ran over and whispered a few words in his ear, which made the originally straight-faced Inspector Sun a lot happier at once, he laughed three times and stood up and asked, "I heard that there are many good fields outside the Gu Yuan?" I wonder if I can borrow some food for the Governor's rations? ”

When Gu Qingyuan heard this, he hurriedly pretended to be poor and said, "This, the old man does have some land under his name, but now he has just encountered the epidemic, and his income is not very good!" can only barely feed the family in the house, and he has also paid a lot of taxes, so he really can't get food. ”

Looking at the rich businessman who was crying and pretending to be poor, he immediately felt disgusted, he immediately clapped his hands, only to see the soldiers led by Wu Junzhen escorting Gu Qingyuan's family and the rest of the squire's family up, and Gu Qingyuan was frightened on the spot, pointed at Inspector Sun and asked, "Sun Chuanting, what do you want to do?" Privately detain the people and be removed from their posts and investigated according to the law, and let go of the old man's family quickly, otherwise the old man's officials in the court will definitely join you! ”

If you don't say this, as soon as you say it, I saw Wu Junzhen quickly take out the notes and the evidence collected before, and handed it to the general guard of Ming Qinzhou and read, "The profiteer Gu Qingyuan colluded with the commander of Tongguan Wei to privately swallow nearly 15 acres of people's fertile land, and seized 300,000 stone of grain in the city, and during the epidemic, the people also defrauded the pension money by pretending to be dead officers, a total of 4,600 taels of silver should be beheaded according to the law, and the squire in the north of the city: Wang Kangchen, took 7 acres of fertile land and 160,000 stone ...... of grain. ”

Listening to the data of these profiteers' corruption, Inspector Sun scolded angrily: "All of your 13 families are people who bring disaster to the country and the people, oppress the people and confuse officials, is it really true that this governor is a person like He Zongbing?" Before, the governor was still hesitant to arrest you, but now it seems that even God has helped the governor, and it is precisely because of your tooth decay that the Ming Empire will continue to grow, do you know what the people's hearts are? The people's heart is the money and food, the food and clothing of the people three meals a day, and it is also the continuous reserve strength of our army, which is why he Li Thief can lose ten times and eight times, and my Sun Chuanting can't afford to lose once! Who have you been fighting for for more than ten years? It's not for me that the Ming Dynasty can sweep away all obstacles and return to the prosperity of the empire. ”

After the evidence was announced, Inspector Sun confiscated their money and grain, left Huamanlou and passed the Ming Tongguan guards to go to the house to personally order materials to prepare for storage, just when everyone was happy for the money and food, there was a rolling horse's hooves outside the city and galloped in the dust, and the leader was the Shun army under the account of the new Shun king: He Jin, the left wing is the Shun army left battalion general: Liu Fangliang, and the right wing is the Shun army right battalion general: Li Yan.

300 steps away, the Shun army has set up ten bronze Frankie meteor cannons, seven general iron cannons, two red-clothed cannons, under the command of the Shun army's right Guoyi general: Ren Weirong, the soldiers of the Shun army quickly loaded and pressed the shells and gunpowder with the battle, and began to ignite the cannon (dong, dong, dong) to explode to the city tower, and the soldiers of the Ming army defending the city panicked! Frightened, Mingtong Guan Wei Zhenfu hurriedly ran to find Inspector Sun in person.

After more than a dozen rounds of artillery fire from the Shun army, the king of Xinshun ordered the cavalry to charge close to the city with all their might, and shoot arrows back to kill the Ming army, so that the Ming army gunners at the main gate were defeated, and they could only rely on artillery to continue to defend the city gate and dare not shoot the guns easily.

With the sound of artillery fire spreading, it also alarmed Wu Junzhen and others in the city, Mingtong Guanwei Zhenfu met Inspector Sun on the street, and reported: "Lord Qiqi Inspector, there are a large number of rogue troops approaching Tongguanwei and are attacking the city gate, and I also ask Lord Inspector to show it." Knowing that the situation was urgent, he immediately asked the general soldiers of the Mingtong Pass Guard and the general soldiers of the Ming Aid to go out to meet the Liukou, so Wu Junzhen also went to defend the city with the soldiers in the army, and the king of Xinshun originally planned to break through from the various gates, but when he saw that the defense of the main gate was too poor, he surrounded the rest of the gates and did not attack for the time being, but pounced on the main gate with heavy troops, and wave after wave of Shun troops pushed the Lu bus close to the city.

The general army of the Mingtong Pass Guard saw that the enemy was menacing and had the idea of preserving his strength, and he was afraid of being held accountable by Inspector Sun and fled from the north of the city to Tongzhou from the north of the city.

Wu Junzhen, who was shooting the rogues, suddenly felt that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him? Suddenly realized that something was not right, so he turned his head and asked, "Brother Ma, where have all the soldiers of our army gone?" Why are only a few people left defending the city? As soon as the words fell, a few shells exploded into the city tower, and three Ming soldiers were blown off, and their arms fell to the ground, and they were in pain! Wu Junzhen looked around and found that there was no one behind him! Immediately realized that the commander had fled from here, leaving only the men and horses of the Ming Aid Suppression General Army to continue to fire artillery to return fire at the enemy, but the Liukou offensive was too fierce so that the Ming army's ammunition quickly ran out, and the Ming Aid Suppression General Soldier, who was familiar with the habits of the Liukou, was afraid of being captured, so he also led the soldiers to flee to Xicheng.

This move was quickly detected by the rogues outside the city, and they hurriedly reported to the general of the left battalion of the Shun army: "Report, Qiqi, the general of the left battalion found that the general of the Ming army had fled at the gate of the west city? Hearing the news that the Ming army abandoned the city and fled, the general of the left battalion of the Shun army immediately made a decision, and rushed to kill the city while the city gate was not closed, and the few Ming troops who did not evacuate the city hurriedly ran to close the city gate, but it was too late The agile light cavalry of the Shun army quickly rushed into the city, and shot down the Ming army at the gate of the city with a strong crossbow and attacked the city.

Immediately afterwards, Inspector Sun also began to arrange defenses, he pointed to the strategic map of Tongguan Wei and said, "The general soldiers of the Qinzhou Guard obey the order and you quickly lead the troops to garrison the east gate, the Guyuan Guard General Soldiers obey the order, you quickly lead the troops to garrison the West Gate, the Lintao General Soldier obeys the order, you quickly lead the troops to garrison the South Gate, and the Yulin Wei General Soldiers obey the order and you quickly lead the troops to garrison the North Gate, and the rest of the generals go to the south gate with the governor to meet the Liukou, and the whole army sets off." ”

After arranging the defense, Wu Junzhen of the main gate (south gate) has already been in close combat with the rogue knife player, he connected and slashed dozens of people to death with a knife and killed six rogue who landed in the city with wind and fire and thunder, Ma Wei also stabbed five enemies with a spear and killed one rogue Kou, and there were fewer and fewer Ming troops fighting side by side with him! Seeing that he was about to be surrounded and captured by the rogues, Ma Wei ran to Wu Junzhen's side and pulled him after tripping a group of rogues with his spear, and said, "Brother Wu, the current situation is not favorable for our army!" Why don't you retreat to the city? Otherwise, we may be captured by the rogues at any time! ”

But the stubborn Wu Junzhen said that he didn't want to retreat, and pushed Ma Wei away and continued to rush towards the Liukou soldiers, and quickly waved his knife to kill the four Liukou, and happened to be discovered by the general of the Shun army in the camp who landed in the city, he quickly pulled the bow and shot the arrow, and the arrow shot Wu Junzhen's knife-wielding arm! The saber fell to the ground in an instant.

Wu Junzhen tightly covered his arm and still kicked the rogue who rushed over with his foot, fortunately, Ma Wei used a spear to shake down the knife-wielding rogue, stabbed to death the two leading rogue generals, and helped Wu Junzhen to retreat into the city, so the king of Xinshun ordered the army to quickly break through the city gate, the clever Ma Wei chased after the rogue in order to prevent the rogue from coming, he deliberately walked the street in the city and went around the dead end to successfully avoid the pursuit of the rogue soldiers, and Wu Junzhen's arm was still bleeding, Ma Wei immediately thought that Dr. Zhao and Dr. Wu could heal minor injuries, He helped him bypass the Shun army on the street and enter Dr. Zhao's medical hall.

Dr. Zhao, who was grabbing the medicine, saw Ma Wei helping the injured Wu Junzhen over, so he went to the door and looked around to see if anyone was chasing him? Then he closed the door and hung a sign of closure, and walked over and asked, "Mr. Wu Qian, what's wrong with you?" Ma Wei helped explain, "The Liukou have already entered the city, and Brother Wu was unfortunately shot by an arrow while we were defending the city!" I also asked two doctors to treat him quickly. ”

Seeing this, Dr. Wu cautiously picked up his arm and looked at it, feeling that the wound was not very deep, so he stretched out his hand and gently pressed his arm to pull out the arrow, only to see that the arrow pulled out was moon-shaped, Dr. Wu immediately went to get the medicine box, smeared the medicine around the wound, and bandaged the arm, and said to him: "Mr. Wu Qian, the arrow wound on your arm is fortunately not poisonous, and the treatment is timely, otherwise it is easy to be infected with the power of the shovel arrow!" ”

After treating the wounds, Wu Junzhen was worried that the rogue would hurt Dr. Wu and Dr. Zhao, so he proposed to protect them and kill them, but he didn't know where to break through? At the critical moment, Dr. Wu suddenly thought of a road that could lead to the outside of the city, which was the remote path he had learned about when investigating the epidemic was overgrown with weeds.

At this time, the army of King Xinshun entered the city one after another, and before the Ming generals rushed to the gate of the city to resist the four gates, they were breached! The soldiers of the Ming army hurriedly ran to pass on the military information, and met Inspector Sun on the street, and then played a report: "Master Qiyu, the four gates are broken!" I'm afraid that Tongguanwei can't stand it anymore! I also asked the Governor to evacuate to Tongguan to prepare for the Thousand Households to temporarily avoid the edge. In despair, Inspector Sun clenched his saber and looked up to the sky and sighed, "God, you have failed me!" Li thief, this governor and you will not stand apart. After speaking, he was dragged by the Ming Qinzhou Guard and the generals to the east gate, so that all the defenders who did not evacuate in the city were killed by the Liukou one by one, and even Zhang Eryou was killed in the chaos for fighting the Liukou, and General Shun Junquan also led the troops to loot the granary and the warehouse to see if there were any materials left?

King Xinshun entered the guard command post to check the situation as soon as possible, only to see that the house was empty, and the abandoned account books were all over the place, and the whole looked embarrassed! The soldiers of the Shun army captured a few captured Ming soldiers and led them to the king of Xinshun, who grabbed a soldier and asked, "Where is Sun Chuanting?" The frightened soldier replied, "Master Governor, flee in the direction of the Tongguan Imperial Thousand Households!" After getting this information, King Xinshun did not take the opportunity to chase and kill, after all, it was late, so he had to order the soldiers to camp and eat on the spot, and it was also convenient to take stock of the materials in the city and organize the soldiers and horses to pursue.
