The next day, when the sky was bright, I heard a horn sound (woo, woo, woo) from outside the city, the Liukou army quickly gathered and began to fight, the horn also alarmed the Ming army to defend the city, many soldiers looked outside the city to see the Liukou were ready to go, the Shun army archers stepped forward to prepare to release arrows, frightened the Ming soldiers panicked and hurriedly shouted to the city, "The Liukou are coming, the whole army is on alert!" ”

While talking and running to report the situation to the generals, I learned that the governor of Gansu hurriedly rushed to the city tower to attack the Liukou, and suddenly hundreds of arrows shot at the Ming army defending the city, some Ming troops blocked it with shields, and some Ming troops lowered their heads and leaned on the battlements, and a few Ming army gunners who shot with guns were killed by arrows in their hands! Li Rong, the commander of the Ming Ganzhou avant-garde who was in charge of the command in the city, took advantage of the fact that the Liukou army was changing teams and charging at the same time, and ordered the musketeers to aim and fire back.

But the commander of the Shun army, the general of the battalions, was not afraid of the Ming army at all, because he planned to take the offensive of wheel warfare, and sent the soldiers to divide into three teams to take turns to besiege the Ming army. After all, artillery shells and gunpowder were limited, and once they ran out, it would be the real end, so the governor of Ming Gansu had no choice but to pin his hopes on the Ming army going south.

Xiningwei also received a letter asking for help, and the commander of Xiningwei had to abandon the garrison and lead the army to the northern expedition in an attempt to flank the Liukou, but now there is heavy snow everywhere outside, and the soldiers are braving the heavy snow to advance, and the cold north wind blowing makes the soldiers lose their fighting spirit! Ming Xi Ningwei commanded the same acquaintance: Cai Chong, he was very angry when he saw the soldiers sluggish, so he rode forward and whipped a few soldiers whose waists were not straight, and the soldiers who were whipped still had no fighting spirit and let them be beaten.

This made him very helpless, in order not to provoke a mutiny, Ming Xinningwei commanded Tongzhi to order the soldiers to take a rest when they were tired, and to drink ice as water when they were thirsty, so they marched without hurry.

However, Shaanxi Xingdu Division will not be able to hold it up! The continuous attacks and artillery bombardment caused most of the city walls to be blown up, and the generals defending the city anxiously shouted, "Quick, resist, hold me!" ”

The Ming artillerymen kept changing the shells, and the gunners finished firing in a row and continued to shoot in a row, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air and drifted far away.

The army of the three banners of the Western Tumut of Southern Mongolia came to the Dapingbao area, and the leader of the Western Tumut of Southern Mongolia: Erwinbulu Nasaka, dismounted and walked over to report to the Western Tumut of Southern Mongolia, "Mongolian: Lord Qiyu Dutong, the last general found that there were bursts of wolf smoke coming from the city of the capital of Shaanxi in front of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that the rogues are attacking the city?" Dare to ask Lord Totong if we are going to cheer? ”

I saw that the southern Mongolian and Western Tumut were silent for a while and said, "Mongolian: No, I want to see who wins and who loses?" "Having said that, he still let the deputy capital of Monan Mongolia and Xitumut next to him lead the troops first, and set up a position behind the Liukou army, once the victory or defeat is clear, he will launch a surprise attack immediately, and he can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

At this moment, a large number of Liukou under the leadership of General Shun Junquan set up a cloud ladder to charge the city, and the Ming infantry cooperated with the fire gunners to throw rolling stones and pour hot water to counterattack the Liukou, and the battle line advanced to the top of the city tower, and all the Ming troops defending the city were united together to defend the city gate, and at this moment of crisis, the three Ming armies went south to finally arrived at the city of Xingdu in Shaanxi Province and opened artillery near the Zhangye River.

With the commander of the Ming Suzhou Guard: Shen Kuinian, the main leader led the soldiers into two routes, the Ming army of Zhenyi Shou Yu Qianhu was responsible for sneaking up on the flank of the Liukou, and the Ming army of Gaotai Shou Yu Qianhu was pinning down the Liukou artillery battalion, and then the Suzhou Wei Ming Army was attacking with all its strength to fight for a way to join the Ming army in the city, so as to achieve the strategy of attacking the Liukou inside and outside (this strategy was originally feasible, but there was no Xining Wei Tieqi responsible for cooperating, so it was not enough to deter the Liukou).

After the military order was arranged, the general of the left battalion of the Shun army on the flank was shelled by the Ming army, and a burst of cannonballs fell in the camp, killing more than half of the rogue archers and spearmen.

Then the artillery battalion of the Shun army was also killed by the Ming Gaotai Qianhu: Jiang Yangxing, who led the army to use the earth-shaking thunder to blow up ten bowl guns and three ammunition boxes, which made the Shun army's artillery fire suddenly interrupted, and the charging Shun army's heavy armor soldiers and Shun cavalry were also attacked by the Suzhou Weiming army.

Seeing that there are reinforcements to rescue the five guards of Ganzhou Ming army instantly have confidence, and then Ganzhou guard, Ganzhou left guard, Ganzhou right guard, Ganzhou middle guard, these four guards of the Ming army first killed the retreat of the city on the rogue Kou, in the city to cooperate with the battle only left Ganzhou avant-garde a Ming army and the capital of the army to defend the city, watching the defeat into victory of the Ming army increased greatly, the commander of the Shun army began to ask for support to the follow-up new Shunwang army.

Before the herald was dispatched, the king of Xinshun also led the army across the river to the city of Xingdu in Shaanxi, he directly asked the soldiers of the Shun army to wave the flag and beat the drum to attack from the front, and the general commanded the spear cavalry to assist the Shun army in the front of the Shun army to attack the city together, and the soldiers in front of the eastern battle in the south of Mongolia and Xitumut immediately reported when they saw this, "Mongolian: Lord Qiyu Dutong, Liukou sent a large army to help, look at the banner There are about 100,000 soldiers and horses?" ”

Monan, Mongolia, and Western Tumut all smiled and said, "Mongolian: Sure enough, as I expected?" This eighty percent is the leader of the bandits: Li Zicheng, led the army to attack the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, if our army saves the Ming will be the enemy of the Liukou, and with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it will never cede half of the land to us! The leader of the Monan Mongolian West Tu Mut Zuo next to him couldn't figure out what he meant, so he asked, "Dare to ask Lord Dutong, what should we do?" ”

Thoughtful he thinks that if he shoots now, he will inevitably be involved in the battle of Ming and Shun, and if he takes a step back and captures the land he wants now, then neither Ming nor Shun will have time to appear to stop him.

After two days of fighting between the Shun army and the Ming army, there was still no winner or loser, and the only Jing'an Fort of the Ming army defending the city was also attacked by the cavalry of Xitumut, which damaged the grain road, and the Ming army in the city had no food to eat! The governor of Gansu in the Ming Dynasty began to worry, and hurriedly took out 20 taels of silver from the treasury to reward the three armies, so that they could exchange grain with the rich merchants and merchants in the city of Dusifu, and successively exchanged 100,000 stone of grain and 3,000 mules and horses, temporarily solving the grain problem.

After that, the governor of Gansu in the Ming Dynasty dispatched an iron cavalry from the five guards of Ganzhou, intending to go out of the city to kill the Liukou to see if he could get through the contact with the outside world?

This iron cavalry composed of five guards in Ganzhou killed from the main gate, the Ming army in the city opened artillery fire cover, the new Shun king saw that the Ming army in the city organized cavalry, and also sent the Shun army iron cavalry to fight, only to see the Ming Ganzhou five guards iron cavalry came up to surround the Shun army iron cavalry and slash, fully showing the majesty of the Ming border army iron cavalry, but the Shun army iron cavalry is not weak horse war to switch with fire (lancet) to cut.

This kind of cavalry slashes horizontally when rushing to kill, the strength is particularly strong and the sharp blade makes the Shun army iron cavalry not fall behind, and the Shun army general who is watching the battle is a little itchy and wants to go up to try, with the cooperation of the two Shun armies, the Ganzhou Wuwei iron cavalry is tired and tired to meet the enemy on both sides! But still seriously injured many Shun cavalry, seeing that the battle was stalemate, the anxious King Shun hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the Shun army iron cavalry, and killed this Ganzhou five guards iron cavalry with artillery fire!

After the last hope was dashed, the two Ming armies of Gaotai Shouyu Qianhu and Zhenyi Shou Qianhu were also defeated, and even the Suzhou Weiming army was surrounded by the Shun army and forced to surrender after killing 8,000 Liukou! Then the Shun army continued to surround the isolated Shaanxi Xingdu Division, the king of Xinshun in order to let the soldiers in the city surrender to the Prince of Mingsu Hui up, to the city to persuade the surrender of the city, "the Ming army inside listen to His Royal Highness the Prince of Mingsu in the hands of Lone, if you don't surrender Lone, kill the king of the vassal first in the broken city, if you want to live, come out now, Lone can order not to blame you for the past to save your life and reuse, otherwise...!" ”

At this time, some generals were said to be moved and were ready to go out of the city to surrender, and the governor of Gansu in the Ming Dynasty saw that the general trend had gone and was unwilling to make senseless sacrifices, so he let the officers and soldiers open the city gate to surrender to the Liukou, while he himself stood on the city tower and saluted to the east, "Your Majesty, the old minister has no shame to face your high hopes!" and the kindness of the imperial court, only the afterlife is repaid! "After that, he drew his sword and killed himself! There were also three generals and generals below 1,000 households who died with him.

At the time of Youshi, King Xinshun led his army into the city to accept the surrender of the Ming army, and the Ming army was very respectful to Prince Hui of Ming, which immediately attracted the attention of King Xinshun, he thought; Keeping this cohesive vassal king by his side is always a threat? Once the surrender of the Ming army wants to support Prince Ming Suhui to resist, then it will inevitably cause heavy losses to our army! Therefore, King Xinshun thought about it and decided to kill Prince Mingsu Hui to solve his worries.

On the other side, in Fushan County, Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin were discussing the matter of the red-robed woman with the monk Haikuan, and the monk recalled it carefully and replied: "The old man seems to have heard of this?" When I was young, I heard that the master said that the Emei faction's Shanyi Shitai had asked the Songshan Shaolin Temple to adopt the Southern Song Dynasty Emperor Duzong: Zhao Yu, the second daughter of Princess Zhenjing: Zhao Guangyi, and the Southern Song Dynasty Dali Temple Cheng Ma Duwei: Huang Cai, son: Huang Dasong, the son of Shaolin disciples to avoid the Yuan army's investigation, this matter has become a big taboo in Shaolin Temple! ”

The curious Liu Ruilin asked: "Since it is a taboo, dare to ask the high monk Haikuan, how do you know?" The monk replied, "Lao Wei also inadvertently heard about the master and the head of the Emei faction in the back mountain: Mrs. Kongjing, speaking of this, Mrs. Kongjing also confessed that there is a woman in the sect who loves to wear red clothes since she was a child?" ”
