Chapter 36: Can't Let You Surrender!
Li Guo wanted to fight Tang Tong, and of course Tang Tong's people would not let others kill him, and a small conflict began.
"Li Guo, I didn't betray King Han!"
But how can Li Guo listen to it, he is known as a tiger, and his personality is straightforward and hot, Tang Tong, this idiot, when he had the danger of Juyong Pass, Song Junshi let him come out to meet him with a small plan! Then he was defeated and surrendered without any backbone! This kind of stupid general with no bones, you say you don't oppose me, Li Guo doesn't believe it!
"Dingxibo, come into the city!" The heralds at the gates shouted
"Tang Tong, take your life!"
There was no way, there were more people in Li Guo than Tang Tong, so Tang Tong had to hurriedly run away and run to the city gate with his men and horses! And farther away, Li Zicheng also galloped towards the city gate with a large army!
Chongzhen couldn't help but praise: "It's amazing, you can still run so fast without sleeping all night!" ”
Li Ke, the general who defended the city, laughed happily when he heard it, the emperor's move is true or false, which makes it really wonderful! According to the report from the spies, Li Zicheng's camp last night was waiting for the Ming army's attack on the camp with ten times the spirit, thinking that the Ming army would not have to attack the city with heavy casualties, but he waited left and right, and waited until dawn before he came to attack the city! And on the side of the Ming army, except for those who were on duty to defend the city normally, the others slept soundly last night! Also, the emperor's discord and fanning the flames are also first-class, and he even opened the city gate and shouted for the enemy Tang Tong to come in, this blood is really big! No wonder Li Guo will fight, everyone has opened the city gate and waited for you to Tang Tong, you still dare to say that you didn't hook up with Chongzhen!
The soldiers defending the city in Beijing are also looking hard! Put a few arrows every now and then! Watching other people's dogs eat dogs is the best thing to do!
Also, by their side, it is the emperor, it is the emperor!
The emperor has come to defend the city with them in person! Not to put on a show, but in front of the whole army, he took off his yellow robe and replaced it with armor! Eat and live with the whole army! He also worked with the soldiers to transform the urn city! Since ancient times, the emperor drove the expedition in person, that is, he made a show and followed the whole army, and the emperor was really on the front line!
Also, since Liu Zongmin was beheaded by the emperor in public, the three law divisions, together with the Jinyi Weidong Factory, publicly interrogated Liu Zongmin and brought 2,000 people, and Daming Daily summoned students in Beijing to interview the whole process, so Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin did in Xi'an, Lanzhou, one by one, to bully men and women and rob the grain and money were exposed, this Li Zicheng is not the legendary "King Chuang comes and does not pay for food", he is a liar! No food, no food, what your 500,000 army eats and drinks!
Right now, following the emperor to defend Beijing City is the most important thing!
Li Zicheng led the army that was sleepy and lacking horses, and saw that Li Guo and Tang Tong's were definitely fighting, and hurriedly asked the army to attack Tang Tong and siege the city!
Chongzhen opened the door just for show, and when Tang Tong's army was still more than ten meters away, Chongzhen immediately asked people to close the city gate.
"Dingxibo run, let's cover" The herald on the city gate shouted loudly according to Chongzhen's order!
Then there was the cannon bombardment towards Li Guo, who was chasing Tang Tong!
Tang Tong saw that the city gate was closed, and a group of grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart! People who are so close to me can go in, and you can close the door when my people go in, or you can close it when I go in alone! Li Guo is chasing and killing me, and Li Zicheng's army is also here! I'm not safe outside!
Tang Tong is not a fool, after a period of grass and mud, he immediately understood that it was important to escape now, the people on both sides were fighting, and the army was already in a mess, how could Li Zicheng have time to listen to your explanation! What's more, the artillery of the Ming army is staring at Li Guo and Li Zicheng to bomb!
But it's not easy to run, more than 400,000 people have already completed the encirclement, and they can't run, Chongzhen has closed the city gate!
Seeing his soldiers retreating step by step, Tang Tong understood that at the moment, he would either be strangled and wiped out by Li Zicheng's army, or he could only beg the generals defending the city to open the door, and there would still be a glimmer of life!
"Open the door, open the door!"
"Tang Tong, in the past, the Li thief attacked the city, I recruited the world's soldiers and horses into the king of Jingqin, you are the only one who came, I am grateful to you, I pinned all my hopes on you, but you failed me and surrendered to the Li thief!"
Although the speaker was wearing armor, he even claimed that I was me! Tang Tong took a closer look, and it turned out to be really the emperor!
"Your Majesty, the rank of the supervising army Du Zhizhi took advantage of me to go out of the city to meet Li Zicheng, opened the door and surrendered, and the last general had to surrender to the enemy."
"I used to order you to take the risk of Juyong Pass and guard Juyong Pass, but you went out to meet the battle without authorization, lost the battle and surrendered, and shifted the responsibility to others; You said that you had no choice but to attack Beijing with Li Thief; After the peace was negotiated, why did he follow Li Thief again? ”
Under Chongzhen's three consecutive questions, Tang Tong didn't know what to answer, yes, he guarded Juyong Pass that day, he could have relied on the cliffs of Juyong Pass and the natural danger of the world's first Xiongguan, he could have defended it for a few months anyway, but I, Tang Tong, surrendered!
"Fight to the death, and you won't disgrace the reputation of your Tang family!"
Although Tang Tong was ashamed, his desire to survive made him unable to control so much, fighting to the death, 20,000 to fight more than 400,000 people, that was a moth to a fire! Since the emperor will not open the door here, he can only beg Li Zicheng to surrender!
"Dog Emperor! You have been the emperor for seventeen years, and how many civil and military generals have you killed! I'm Tang Tong, but I'm just complying with the destiny of heaven! ”
"Obey the destiny of heaven? You see what Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin did, are they really for the people? Is it really in accordance with the destiny of heaven?! ”
“.......”
Tang Tong was speechless
"Withdraw, the soldiers obeyed the order to surrender to the king of Han"
Tang Tong fled the city gate with the pursued soldiers and went to Li Zicheng.
"Beat the drums and fire the cannons!"
With Chongzhen's order, the drummers in the city beat the drums of the attack, "Boom, boom, boom!" "The artillerymen also fired a hundred cannons in unison, and one shell after another blasted towards Li Guo's army! And Li Zicheng heard the sound of drums and cheers for the attack, the shells of the Ming army bombarded towards his army, and then saw the Tang Tong army that originally fled to Beijing City running towards his side, Tang Tong, this is to start a war with me Li Zicheng!
"I can't help myself! Firecrackers! Shoot the arrows! ”
Li Zicheng gave an order, and ten thousand arrows were fired, and the soldiers on Tang Tong's side were killed and wounded a lot!
"Stop! Stop it! Own! I'm the general Tang Tong! Tang Tong shouted pleadingly!
But no one on Li Zicheng's side paid attention to Tang Tong, and the scene of hundreds of thousands of people was too chaotic! And the drums of your side of the attack are we fools? Is the cannon that bombarded our side fake? Kill! Kill!
"Surrender, we surrender!"
But this is useless, Li Zicheng still has no one on his side to pay attention to Tang Tong and surrender, what is the drum of the attack? Bows, arrows, and cannons are still on our side!
Tang Tong helplessly saw his soldiers fall one by one, but he couldn't do anything!
"Withdraw! Come on! Tang Tong gave the final order.
But Tang Tong's order was completely useless, Li Zicheng's army was dozens of times his army, and it was already surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, where could he run!
"Zhu Youzhen! You're ruthless! ”
