Chapter 555. Celestial Star Cage Yuan

Mao Jue's current performance is definitely the No. 1 loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, asking for silver for silver, and food for food! If you want soldiers, you can count it as soldiers! Lu Zhong, the inner ghost of this brocade guard, sent Emperor Chongzhen to the Guanning army to abandon the Guanning army to guard the pass, and the news of entering the Guanqin King had just left the Beijing division less than two days, and Mao Jue, who received the news, directly pressed the city with a large army and forced Wu Sangui to go south.

Wu Sangui is not stupid, he is not as naïve as Emperor Chongzhen, and he still regards Mao Jue as a loyal minister and filial son, on the verge of the front line, he has already felt Mao Jue's aggressiveness, this southward defense of the Beijing Division, and the decisive battle with the Chuang army, is completely used as cannon fodder for the Guanning Army! When the Chuang army and the Ming army fought for the same, he had a good army to go south to pick up the cheap.

Similarly, it is said that he is a loyal minister and a filial son, is Wu Sangui really loyal? In fact, he is not faithful! If he was really a loyal minister like Cao Bianjiao, he would have fought a bloody battle with the Qing army in the Battle of Songjin instead of taking the lead in escaping, Wu Sangui still represents the interests of the Liaodong generals, and he is still more inclined to himself than between the imperial court and the Liaodong generals.

So compared to rescuing the Beijing Division, he is still more willing to occupy the two nests of Ningyuan Mountain Customs, compared to history, taking refuge in Mao Jue is undoubtedly more acceptable than taking refuge in the Qing Army, and once it is dragged to the fall of the Beijing Division, Mao Jue will definitely be in a hurry to enter the customs, at that time his position is much more important, and in the negotiations with the Liao State, he can also obtain a more favorable position.

Even, absorbing the nutrients of the Dongjiang River, developing and growing in the future, it is not impossible to be the master of the water and dominate one side! Historically, didn't he Wu Sangui rebel in the end and proclaimed himself the emperor of the Great Zhou.

It's a pity, no matter how good the plan is, it can't compare to the cannon, seeing that Mao Jue is really going to move seriously, Wu Sangui finally coaxed, and under the power of the three giant cannons, he was afraid! The Wu family army guarding Ningyuan reluctantly went south, and the Dongjiang army unceremoniously entered from the other three city gates, took over the city defense, and incidentally took over the population of 200,000 or 300,000 households in Ningyuan.

The game is more addictive, hundreds of people at the three city gates are holding high the banner of Mao Jue's Liao King, scrambling to run towards the Yamen of Wu Sangui's general army, to be the first person to run the Dongjiang Army, the first to plant the banner at the head of Ningyuan City, and at the other end, Mao Jue is looking at the Wu army who is getting farther and farther away in the gradually dim sky, pulling his fingers and muttering.

"Leaving today, receiving orders on the way, it should be about four days better than that time, plus that, Song Xiance will work hard, time should be enough, and the two poles in the world should be gathered!"

"What's better than that? Didn't you already know something? Are you the legendary prophet? Tell me, tell me!"

In such a grand plan, what surprised her especially was Mao Jue's foresight, which had been pre-arranged in various inconspicuous positions more than a year or even a few years in advance, just like the giant cannon in front of him, as well as a series of actions in the Beijing Division, sometimes he was like a blind sage in the West, calculating every step of the old empire, which couldn't help but make Adriana even more curious.

It's rare that Mao Jue seems to have missed a little bit, she is impatient to go up, a pair of big lake blue eyes staring at Mao Jue's face, and her little hand tugging on Mao Jue's collar and shaking.

It's a pity that Mao Jue is no longer the original Wuxia Ameng, who is so thick and black that he is so thick-skinned that he boasts that he is comparable to Cao Cao, how can he be bluffed by such a girl like her, even if Adriana is so abrasive, Mao Jue still easily rolls up with a big eye.

"Ask God!"

Seeing Mao Jue's triumphant appearance, the Western beauty whose curiosity is comparable to that of a cat is a pair of angry little tiger teeth squeaking.

…………

When Mao Jue was still leisurely watching the excitement in Liaodong, the huge chess game in the world was between the two stars in the palace, but an incomparably fierce spark had already erupted.

Chuang army, or Dashun army, is still so overwhelming, the army east from Changpo, and then to Zhoushan, the distance between the front and rear armies is dozens of miles, history was rewritten by Mao Jue after all, Yuan Chonghuan, who is much stronger than Sun Chuanting, hurt Li Zicheng, killed him almost fell short, after the establishment of Dashun in history, a million Chuang army was guarded by him just to seize the land, Dashun destroyed the Ming, in fact, the strength was only a hundred thousand, but this time, Li Chuang, who was scared, had at least 500,000 troops, and wanted to completely destroy the Ming Dynasty in a war.

Today's Dashun army is no longer a rabble that was driven up the mountains and down the sea by tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, such a long war career, coupled with the integration of the official army, the Dashun army already has a considerable combat effectiveness of the army, especially after the capture of the three sides of Shaanxi, the Dashun army is almost a new look, walking in the forefront of the large team is red, with the official army standard armor, the spears at hand are neat, the sword and bow are new and sharp, and the heavy baggage team behind the head is pushed up more than 200 heavy and stocky general cannons, The whole army even had the feeling of changing shotguns.

But such a fierce force, in this poor ravine, slammed its head and broke the bloodstream.

"Attack! All to Lao Tzu to attack! Don't retreat, those who retreat will be killed!"

His throat seemed to be broken, Hao Shaoqi shook his big banner and shouted loudly, but unfortunately, no matter how loud his voice was, he couldn't suppress the retreating army.

From under the lead-gray city in front of him, crackling firearms came overwhelmingly, nailing the intruders running behind to the ground.

The battle of Taiyuan was effortless at all, and the famous Yanmen Pass Niangzi Pass was also vulnerable, and the official army was completely ignored by the Shun army, who knew that in front of this inconspicuous Ningwu Pass, the army would suffer such a big loss.

According to the saber, Zhou Yuji, the chief soldier of Ningwuguan, looked at the retreating Shun army with a pair of thick eyebrows and gloomy eyes, and was silent, but beside him, Luo Saitong, the chief flag of the pro-soldiers, scratched his ears and cheeks excitedly, stabbed wildly in his hand, and skillfully hammered the gunpowder, and then raised the gun suddenly, slammed it out, and it was more than one hundred and fifty meters.

"It's still a good thing!"

Listening to this muttering, Zhou Yuji's face was also rarely relaxed, but in an instant, it became tighter again, and he couldn't help it, he turned his head and glanced in the northeast direction.

For more than a year, the officials and troops of Ningwuguan seem to have gone lucky, from time to time there is a "Jin King Caravan" carelessly lost a live thing here, there are canned grain, weapons and armor, muskets and gunpowder, and even hundreds of horses, and the same as the army, for more than a year, the officials and troops of Ningwuguan have also come to a shotgun to change their guns, and now there are 4,000 flintlock guns in the pass, more than 120 large and small artillery, and the grain that could not eat the autumn harvest has become at least a year's surplus, so many troops on the nine sides, it is considered to be the richest in Ningwuguan!

Zhou Yuji is not stupid, he can have such strong financial resources, and there seems to be only that number one in the entire north! He knew that all this came from Mao Jue.

However, although as the saying goes, other people's hands are short, it does not mean that Zhou Yuji looks at Mao Jue pleasing to the eye, in his opinion, Mao Jue calls himself the King of Liao, and he is rebellious, and there is no difference between the aggressive thief in front of him, they are all national thieves all the way!

But this is called involuntarily! knew that Mao Jue's move should have no good intentions, but he didn't want to do it around Yuji, and he had to follow Mao Jue's intentions and fight to the death with the million troops in front of him.

I don't know how Mao Jue will make a move after this step, this feeling is like walking on the road at night, with this ghost hidden in the dark and ready to disadvantage him at any time, fear and disgust go hand in hand.

"Master Jun, these grandsons are going to run away! Do you want the cavalry to go up and chase after you? ”

Luo Guang's excited voice finally interrupted Zhou Yuji's thoughts, withdrew his eyes from the northwest, and looked at the battlefield again, he shook his head heavily.

"No! Order all armies to defend the checkpoint and not to go out lightly!"

Even if Yuan Chonghuan, in the face of Li Zicheng's million-strong army, he had to defend Tongguan, intending to resist the intrusive army here, he had a few catties and taels around him, and he knew it in his heart.

A rout of the pioneer Hao Shaoqi made the army pay attention to it, and a non-stop team like a marching ant had to stop.

When he became the emperor, he was still dressed in the red cloak and big-brimmed hat with that set of symbols, but Li Zicheng began to pay attention to the pomp, in front, more than a dozen eunuchs captured from the Qin Palace, with big flags and Huangluo umbrella covers, and behind, more than 20 palace maids in the Qin Palace, with a large group of peasant generals wearing bobcats and beasts and bandits in the green forest, no matter how you look at it, there is a sense of nondescriptness.

However, although the style is a little corrupt, the vision of fighting for so many years has not been blinded, and as soon as he entered this Ningwu Pass, Li Zicheng only had the only one eye left, and his brows were immediately locked.

It is worthy of being a dangerous pass in the world, Ningwu Pass is located on the Huagai Mountain of the remaining veins of Heng Mountain, the left is close to the Hui River, high on the hillside, and the siege can only be carried out from here.

Moreover, the mountains around here are rugged, which can be regarded as an open valley, which is nothing if it is for the Mongolian cavalry who come and go like the wind but only a few people, but for the large number of intruding troops, it has become a bottleneck.

However, although he frowned, Li Zicheng didn't take Ning Wuguan too seriously now, after all, the more dangerous Yanmen Pass and Niangzi Pass were gnawed down by the Dashun army, and after a few glances, Li Zicheng waved his hand arrogantly forward.

That attitude, like a dog with a bone in its mouth, Li Chengqing, the eunuch of the prison army who was captured in Taiyuan City, nodded and bowed, and then rode on his horse, first ran to the city of Ningwu Guan, shook his body, and as if he had changed into a person, he bared his teeth and shouted at Guancheng with a hateful face.

"Mr. Zhou is there? Our family is Li Chengqing, the Taiyuan Prison Army!"

But no one paid attention to him!

has always been arrogant, which of the generals from all over the nine sides does not treat him as an ancestor, and now it is the time to make meritorious contributions in front of the new master.

"Listen to the surname Zhou! Emperor Dashun came here in person, specifically to crusade against those traitors in the court, and to return the world to a peace, not against Your Majesty! This is in line with the way of heaven, if you help the abuse again, perversely, the emperor will break through the gate, not only your family's life is not guaranteed, this radius of a hundred miles will also leave no chickens and dogs, kill a clean, if you don't want to die, you ......"

Bang~

After a gunshot, the goosebump-raising sharp voice came to an abrupt end, and unlike the one that came out, in front of the large-caliber breech gun, the dead eunuch's head burst open like a rotten watermelon, leaving only a tongue exposed, disgusting.

This dead eunuch forgot that the generals of the Nine Sides were afraid of him, all because they were afraid of the imperial power behind him, and now that everyone else had surrendered, they were still afraid of him as a bird? Luo Guang happily put down the smoking firebolt, his face was grim, and Zhou Yuji roared loudly.

"Listen to the thieves! I thought that I could Ningwuguan! Just keep your head for road money, just like them!"

In the crackling sound, the more than 100 heads and watermelons that had just been cut off from the city by the retreat of the army were dumped out by the Ningwu defenders.

The messenger was killed, and he was so humiliated, and in an instant, Li Zicheng's eyes also turned red, full of rage, he roared and waved his arms forward, and at the same time turned back and roared angrily at the generals behind him.

"Spread the holy decree and slaughter the dog head of a dog baby for Lao Tzu!"

"Yes!"

Again, the flames of war burned violently, first dozens of cannons roared and spat out tongues of fire to the city, and sparks flew on the gate of the heavy cannonballs, followed by the cover of artillery fire, and the dense army rushed towards the city like ants climbing rocks.

But the officers and soldiers who were frightened when they saw the momentum of this charge in other Guancheng didn't seem to be a mother, and before the intrusive army carrying the ladder rushed to the bottom of the hillside and raised his head from the gunpowder smoke of the city, Zhou Yuji had already pulled out his sword sharply, and again, the crackling gunfire fell down like rain, and the intruding army carrying the ladder in front of him suddenly shook his chest, and a huge blood hole erupted, and he immediately fell directly to the ground.

The intruder behind him grabbed his position and picked up the ladder again, but before he could take two steps again, he was also shot and vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Under such astonishing casualties, just like the siege team of Hao Shaoqi just now, thousands of intrusive troops rolled down the sloping hillside, and the red blood smeared one hillside red, and the rest scattered in panic like lost dogs.

Since the Battle of Lushan last year, he has never encountered such a hard bone to gnaw, looking at the scene in front of him, Li Zicheng's eyes were blood-red, and he couldn't stop roaring.

"Fire! After breaking through this broken tower, Lao Tzu wants to slaughter the city!!"
