Immediately, the wall of Xifengkou was like a boiling pot, and began to spit out flames one after another, and the defenders set up various large and small artillery on the top of the gate, at this time began to be ignited at the same time, and dozens of various artillery, like a big broom with a red-hot handle, scattered bombs swept on the heads of these attacking Jiannu.

Just after the fight was fought all at once, these soldiers and generals of the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion, who were still showing off their might, were like hitting a nail board, and their faces were covered with blood.

Shi Tingzhu was stunned and looked at the pass and wall of Xifengkou, he couldn't react for a while, and it took a while to realize what had happened, he didn't expect that the defenders of Xifengkou were not frightened by them at all, but waited for them to come to the door, so they beat them up, so seeing that the defenders had strong firepower, he quickly ordered the troops to retreat and reorganize the troops.

And Abatai and Hauge, who were watching the battle from a distance, were also taken aback, they also didn't expect that the defenders of Xifengkou suddenly became so tough, and the artillery fire was so fierce, it can be seen that the defenders here have actually been on guard for a long time, ready to fight, and they are all chuckling in their hearts, secretly shouting that something bad is happening!

But they finally came here, although they accidentally found that the Xifengkou defenders have strengthened their strength, and the resistance is obviously very tenacious, this Xifengkou seems to be not very easy to fight, but since they came, they must always find a way to try, Shanhaiguan has become that virtue, if they can't attack Xifengkou here, won't it be inconvenient to go south this time to become a joke? Then he Abatai and Hauge can't explain to Huang Taiji when they go back!

So Abatai immediately sent reinforcements to Shi Tingzhu to strengthen the attacking forces, and sent people to work hard to add a few Hongyi cannons that he had brought with him, and began to bombard the Guancheng in the area of Xifengkou.

For a while, the area of Xifengkou also began to hear the sound of cannons and shouts of killing, for three whole days, the Guancheng of Xifengkou was bombarded by the cannon of Jiannu is full of holes, but it is still unstoppable, the defenders seem to be Wang Ba eating the scales in general, and the iron heart wants to live and die with Xifengkou.

In the past three days, Abatai and Haoge can be said to have tried their best to attack Xifengkou, and even almost attacked the wall several times, but they were killed by Zhou Yuji, the defender of Xifengkou, at the most critical moment, and killed the Jiannu soldiers who attacked them on the city wall, especially the Han soldiers of the Wuzhenchaoha battalion of the Han army with red flags under the command of Shi Tingzhu, who suffered heavy casualties under the pass, and the morale of the Jiannu army was much lower in three days.

Abatai and Hauge looked at each other, thinking that it would be easy to attack the battle in the pass, but they didn't want to fight this virtue, seeing that the Ming army guarding the Xifeng Pass was actually like a chicken blood, becoming strong and incomparable, and they went forward and fought desperately on the wall to resist, and it was a cannon bombardment, and the fire was fired in unison, and the bow and arrow were fired like rain, in short, they put on a posture of martyrdom in the city, so both of them couldn't help but have the idea of retreating.

In their opinion, since Xifengkou is not easy to fight, they can't afford to die here, now three days down, they have lost nearly 2,000 soldiers, God knows how many people will die if they storm Xifengkou, they are going to rob the Ming Dynasty this time, not to shed blood in this Guancheng area, so they don't have to be here, they have to die to the end, Xifengkou is not easy to fight, they can go to Gubeikou to fight Huangya Pass, these two passes, I heard that there are not many Ming troops stationed, It's better to go to those two passes, and the province can't be dragged here.

However, they were still a little unwilling, early in the morning of the fourth day, they launched a fierce attack on Xifengkou again, but the battle was until noon, but they still could not capture the city, so Abatai had no choice but to order the troops to retreat, give up attacking Xifengkou, and continue to find a way in the mountains to the west, towards the Gubeikou and Huangya Pass in the direction of Miyun, and find another way to enter the pass.

But if Abatai and Haoge knew the situation in Xifengkou Pass, they would definitely regret their decision to be green in their intestines, because they launched a four-day onslaught on Xifengkou in a row, and it was not easy for Zhou Yuji, after all, Jiannu's troops were too many, and the firepower was not weak, especially which Hongyi cannons, every time they were released together, the defenders on the wall suffered heavy casualties, and many of the walls had just been temporarily repaired, and they were not strong. Some places have already begun to collapse by the cannon bombardment of Jiannu.

Although Lu Xiangsheng and Yan Chongxi sent him a batch of artillery guns and ammunition, and also replenished him with 200 generals of the army to strengthen his strength, but in the past few days, the generals under his command have always stuck to the front line as the main force, and the losses are extremely heavy, and the little silver he took out as a bounty to reward the generals, he was sent a fine in two days, and in the next two days, he could only give the meritorious generals a white note, but fortunately, at this time, the generals were also red-eyed, and they no longer cared about the bounty or not. One by one, they are still fighting bravely.

Jiannu launched several fierce attacks, all of which narrowly broke through their defense line and broke through the city, but often at the last moment, Zhou Yuji personally led the troops to kill, and knocked Jiannu down with a knife and a gun, but the casualties of the defenders were also increasing day by day, and by the fourth day, it could be said that it had reached a precarious level.

And Zhou Yuji in the morning of the fourth day of the fierce battle, also in the city was seriously wounded, not only hit by the bullet, but also by the Jiannu archers hit several arrows, but also when he led the troops to repel a group of Jiannu who attacked the city wall, but also by a Jiannu with a spear stabbed in the waist and abdomen, although he reluctantly repelled the attack of Jiannu, but Zhou Yuji has also reached the point of running out of oil and lamps, and can no longer stand up.

Although Zhou Yuji was seriously injured, but seeing the fierce attack of the slave army, Zhou Yuji endured the pain and refused to let his subordinates carry him down the city wall to receive treatment from the medical officer, for fear that someone would see him fall, so that the army's heart was scattered, so that the battle to defend the pass fell short, so he gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates to erect a shelf on the city wall, he leaned back against the shelf and let the two strong men stand on him left and right, and continued to stand on the city wall to boost morale, although the ribs were broken, and from time to time he was still vomiting blood, But he still stood at the juncture, shouting that he would not stop killing slaves.

The subordinates saw the blood at Zhou Yuji's feet, shed a big pool, each of them cried loudly, one by one crazy in the city and Jiannu fought endlessly, during which there were many singing and crying things, many families in this battle, or died in the city, or held the Jiannu who attacked the city wall and fell off the city wall, and died in the enemy, and fought until Jiannu was cold, and finally collected the troops and retreated.

And Zhou Yuji has been on the city wall to watch the Jiannu army retreat, only to faint, many people only then know that Zhou Yuji has already been seriously injured, but still insist on commanding them to fight fiercely with the enemy, each is quite infected, after Zhou Yuji was carried off the city wall, many people still stick to the city wall, staring at the retreating Jiannu army.

Zhou Yuji was very seriously injured, after being carried off the city wall, he was in a coma for a long time before he woke up, and at this time, his soldiers came to tell him that the Jiannu army outside the Xifeng Pass had retreated from the Xifeng Pass and evacuated the Xifeng Pass.

After hearing this, Zhou Yuji laughed out loud a few times, and then spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, then sighed, struggled to order someone to help him up, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three heads in the direction of Jingshi, and muttered: "Shengshang, Zhou Yuji is favored by the emperor, and he can't guard Jingshi for Shengshang, but he blocked the entry of the Jiannu army here for Shengshang!" Wechen can be regarded as loyal to the saint! I hope the Holy One can take care of himself! Wechen has taken the first step! ”

After saying that, Zhou Yuji fainted again, and then he woke up again, but he was already in a dying state, because his injuries were too serious, whether he was treated in time, the blood was almost dry, and the gods were unable to revive him, when he was dying, he summoned his generals to the front and told them that they must stick to this pass, no matter what happens, they can't give up here, if the world really wants to change in the future, these subordinates will decide for themselves where to go in the future, Even if he was under the Nine Springs, he wouldn't blame them!

Several of his subordinates cried loudly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhou Yuji, guaranteeing that they would never give up this pass, and they would hold on until Jiannu retreated and returned to the pass!

And after Zhou Yuji explained the aftermath, he immediately died, and died extremely heroically in Xifengkou Pass, and after his death, all the soldiers and civilians in Xifengkou wore linen and filial piety to see him off, and a military Chinese official wrote down in detail this battle of Xifengkou Pass, describing in detail the details of Zhou Yuji's death, as well as the words he said to kowtow to the direction of the Jingshi before his death, and then sent someone to send this report to the Jingshi overnight.

Later, the emperor Zhu Youjian in the Beijing division sighed heavily, and immediately posthumously named Zhou Yuji as the Taibao, and gave the name of Zhongwu, and after the death of the Ming Dynasty, the Dazhong Emperor recognized his posthumous seal of Zhou Yuji, and at the same time ordered Zhou Yuji to build a large tomb at the mouth of Xifengkou for future generations to worship and pay respects, and Zhou Yuji's family also received special care from the Dazhong Dynasty, and later Zhou Yuji's son also became a member of the Dazhong Dynasty Sailor General.

After Zhou Yuji's death, the remnants of his command faithfully carried out his orders, stationed at Xifengkou, and did not disperse because of Zhou Yuji's death, and insisted until the Dazhong Army came to take over the defense, and the whole army surrendered to the Dazhong Army, and all of them were not disbanded by the Dazhong Army, but were retained by Xiao Tianjian's order, and were organized into a separate battalion, which was included in the guards under Liu Yaoben, and was named Zhou Yuji's battalion, and ordered that this battalion be retained forever, as a commendation for Zhou Yuji's merits! In the future, all the people who will be incorporated into this battalion will be passed on by their predecessors to these recruits about the battle of Zhou Yuji's lone army defending Xifengkou, so that those who can enter this battalion will feel very honored for this.

This is also a unique thing in the Dazhong Army, after all, Zhou Yuji represents an army of the Ming Dynasty, he was always loyal to the Ming Dynasty before his death, but after his death, the Dazhong Dynasty named a unit belonging to the Dazhong Army, this kind of thing in the Dazhong Army, it can be said that there is no one before and after the ancients, so that Zhou Yuji has enjoyed glory forever, and has become a well-known national hero in China later.

And Abatai and Haoge, it was only later that they learned that Zhou Yuji, the Ming army guard who guarded the Xifeng Pass, actually when they withdrew, was already seriously injured, only one breath left, after the two of them learned about it, they beat their chests and regretted that their intestines were almost green, at that time, if they insisted a little longer, then they might have broken through the Xifeng Pass, but at the last moment, they chose to retreat, so that they incurred the later defeat, and then the two persuaded themselves, saying that this may also represent the will of heaven in the dark, Just comfort yourself.
