Chapter 40: Bombarding Li Zicheng (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)

Li Zicheng's righteous son, Li Shuangxi, rode a jujube red war horse, led two hundred cavalry, pressed two embarrassed Ming vassal kings, stood in the open space a hundred steps away from Fuchengmen, squinting at the city.

Of course, it doesn't take 200 people to escort the two soft egg vassal kings, and Li Shuangxi is enough for one person. Therefore, the purpose of Li Shuangxi bringing 200 people was not to escort anyone, but to find an opportunity to "shout the city".

The so-called "shouting city" is actually a means of attacking the city. Instead of fighting, the city is broken by intimidation or inducement. In order to carry out the "shouting city" operation, it is necessary to be able to get close to the enemy's city, and it is necessary to approach the enemy without firing cannons or guns. Otherwise, the cannon will sound loudly, and who will be able to hear what you are shouting? Therefore, as a rule, the "shouting of the city" takes place at night.

However, today is an exception, shouting the city and Du Xun's entry into the city are both part of Gu Junen's plan to attack the heart, and they can be carried out at the same time.

As long as Emperor Chongzhen has illusions about peace talks, then Li Shuangxi can let his subordinates go up and shout. Tempt the defenders with heavy rewards, and at the same time bluff and intimidate them. And Du Xun can even contact the officials and eunuchs in the city to promote the benevolence and righteousness of King Chuang.

With such a two-pronged approach, the already panicked city of Beijing will definitely break itself without attacking!

Thinking of breaking the city of Beijing, Li Shuangxi is indescribably proud! King Chuang has no own son, only a nephew Li Guo, who is a few years older than King Chuang. And who will inherit the throne after a hundred years of King Chuang, it is still undecided.

If Li Guo died before King Chuang, then compared with Li Guo's son, his Royal Highness, a righteous son, may also have the possibility of ascending the throne - after all, he Li Shuangxi is not a child picked up by King Chuang, he is also the son and nephew of King Chuang, but the blood is too far away from Li......

Maybe he Li Shuangxi will be Emperor Taizong of Dashun in the future!

"Brothers, Breaking Army......"

When Li Shuangxi was thinking about how to become Emperor Taizong in the future, half of his armor suddenly poked out from behind the battlement of the arrow tower of Fuchengmen, and he was still shouting loudly: "The next official is Zhu Chunchen, the chief of the Beijing camp, and Gonggong Du has already entered the palace to see the saint." If the two of us don't fight, we will soon be able to serve in the same palace...... Now can you ask Qin Jin Er Fan to come forward and speak? ”

Got it! Li Shuang's preference is unpleasant, and Beijing City has won! The officials of the court are stupid, so deceiving!

He waved his hand and said to the left and right: "Escort the two kings of Qin and Jin up, and go to the moat." ”

The cavalry that followed him were all veterans of shouting the city, and they were eager to try, and when they heard his order, they responded with a bang, and then rode forward one after another.

However, Li Shuangxi did not participate in the shouting city, he was the future Emperor Taizong of Dashun, and he had to respect his identity, so he just smiled and looked at the Fuchengmen Tower.

Just when the Dashun cavalry of the city was lined up, approaching the moat, but before they could call the city, the Ming Dynasty's Jingying General Rong suddenly leaned out half of his body, still carrying a ball of unknown things in his hand, and shouted: "The traitor Du Xun has been ambushed!" My Beijing soldiers swear to defend the Ming Dynasty to the death! Daming Wansheng ......"

What the? What's going on? Du Xun has already been killed?

Li Shuangxi couldn't believe his ears a little, and before he could react, a new change happened.

Between the battlements of the city wall, more than 300 black "burning sticks" suddenly stretched out!

This is...... Firebolt!

Li Shuangxi was so shocked that he wanted to order a retreat. But it was too late, and the three hundred firearms roared almost at the same time!

This is not an inferior firearm built in Beijing, but a high-quality firearm ordered by Zheng Zhilong from Guangdong - of course, it doesn't cost a lot of money, but the thing is definitely good! Not only will it not blow up, but the air tightness is also very good, but the recoil is too large, and it must be erected on a bracket or a battlement of the city wall to hit accurately.

So the first salvo of these 300 turtledove-foot firearms knocked over forty or fifty veteran battalion soldiers who broke into the army! Some of them are people who have been hit, and they are basically certain to die! What a caliber of the turtledove's foot firecracker! One shot is a fist-sized bloody hole, and even rescue can be avoided. And the other part of the people were knocked over by the war horse under the crotch, and they fell to the ground with the people and horses.

"I've been tricked,!" As soon as Li Shuangxi's shout fell, something more terrible happened.

A roaring sound like the sky collapsing suddenly sounded over the head of Fuchengmen!

Boom, boom......

Six redcoat cannons fired at the same time!

At this time, Li Shuangxi even forgot to escape, and quickly turned around and looked nervously at the yellow felt tent behind him. I saw a few small black dots streak across the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then fell sharply in front of the yellow felt tent, and then suddenly bounced up and swept forward, one of which seemed to hit the felt tent and swept away a corner of the felt tent. There was also a cannonball that passed through the middle of the soldiers of King Chuang's royal camp lined up next to the felt tent, and it overturned more than a dozen rows of people in one fell swoop!

"Wan Sheng! Victory ......"

The soldiers on the walls let out a cheer!

Although they don't support Daming, they are even a little looking forward to Li Zicheng's arrival. However, for the sake of the hard work of one or two silver a day, it is still necessary to shout a few voices.

And Li Zicheng may be killed! If that's the case, they have to continue to be good officers and soldiers and good people in the Ming Dynasty!

"It's a pity!" Zhu Cihong held up the binoculars and saw the chaos in front of the yellow felt tent, and also saw a large group of people escorting a guy in a red cloak and running in the direction of Diaoyutai.

Needless to say, this "red cloak" must be King Li Zicheng. Look at how fast he runs, and you know that he is not injured.

"Reward!" Zhu Cihong then shouted loudly, "The gunner will be rewarded with five taels each!" Two taels for each hand! One person will be rewarded with one or two! ”

Although he didn't kill Li Zicheng, he did hit the felt tent in the first round! The reason why Li Zicheng can't be killed is just because the cannonballs can't work, and if there are flowering shells, Li Zicheng is afraid that he will be more than lucky. However, this round of shelling should be able to scare Li Zicheng, and he should also know that Beijing is not easy to fight.

"Woo Woo ......"

Another round of gunfire sounded, and the eunuch gunners fired a second round. The fixed ammunition apparently increased their rate of fire, allowing them to fire another round of ammunition before Li Shuangxi's men could retreat to a safe distance. The results of this battle were much smaller, only a dozen people were overturned, and most of them were cavalrymen who had choked because their horses were killed and injured before. But it still makes Li Shuangxi feel distressed, those are all old battalion soldiers! It's distressing to kill one, but this time I actually confessed to dozens of people, which is really hateful.

However, Li Shuangxi soon couldn't care about being distressed, because the six red-clothed cannons on the arrow tower of Fuchengmen opened fire again! Six more solid bullets rolled and drew an arc in mid-air, and then smashed down the Dashun officers and soldiers who were messing around the yellow felt tent, and I don't know if they hit the Dashun Emperor Li Zicheng?

If Godfather Li Zicheng dies, where will his Emperor Taizong of Dashun go?

Worried about Li Zicheng's safety, Li Shuangxi hurriedly turned around and ran back, and when his subordinates saw him running away, none of them wanted to stay in Beijing anymore, and they all ran with him. I actually forgot that they were holding two captured Ming Dynasty vassal kings!

Zhu Cunji and Zhu Xianxuan, the two princes, were also really fatal, they were caught by Li Zicheng and not killed, and they were dragged to the city of Beijing and shot with half a stick of incense. The two fellows were so frightened that they forgot to even hide from their guns, and they knew that they were sitting on the ground and crying, and at last they were safe and sound—they were both dressed in the prince's regular clothes, and the soldiers who were firing on the city wall recognized them, so naturally they would not aim at them both.

However, the two pampered princes were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they couldn't walk anymore. In the end, a few Beijing soldiers were put down with hanging baskets on the head of the city, carried them across the moat with their heads and feet, and then loaded the baskets into Beijing City.

Zhu Cihong won the first battle this time! not only killed dozens of thieves and elite soldiers, killed Du Xun who betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy, but also rescued two useless rice bucket vassal kings, think about it is wise and martial!

However, Li Zicheng, who was outside Beijing, didn't know that there was a wise and martial prince in the city now, and he only thought that he was calculated by Zhu Chunchen......
