The east gate of Ningwu Pass was bombarded by the mountain artillery of the Mandate of Heaven a lot, He Jin took the east gate as a breakthrough, and finally climbed to the top of the city after paying the price of thousands of casualties, at this time there were no soldiers in the arrow tower above the city gate.

Zhou Yuji personally guarded the east gate, but there were too many soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and a small number of soldiers climbed up to the top of the city, blocking the defenders in the city, and the soldiers behind followed the ladder and climbed up continuously......

Li Zicheng put down the binoculars, his face was very solemn, although he broke through the Ningwu Pass, but the casualties of the Heavenly Mandate Army were really beyond his expectations, thousands of soldiers died under the city, which has exceeded the number of defenders in the city......

Maybe the attack in the early stage was too smooth, and there were thousands of casualties in front of Ningwu Pass, which made him unable to accept it for a while, and seeing the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army climbing up to the top of the city in batches, there was no joy in his heart.

With the help of the telescope, Niu Jinxing saw a large number of Heavenly Mandate troops rushing to the city, not only overjoyed: "Your Majesty, Ningwu Pass has broken ......"

Li Zicheng was silent for a long time, and Fang said leisurely: "If the lord of every town is as resolute as Zhou Yuji, when will we be able to reach Jingshi?" ”

Niu Venus suddenly seemed to be poured a basin of cold water, the excitement just now completely disappeared, thought for a moment, and said: "The emperor can rest assured, Zhou Yuji is only a minority, we are in Shanxi, all the way is like a bamboo, it is the capital city of Taiyuan, and the Ming army does not have much resistance!" ”

Li Zicheng didn't believe it very much, Taiyuan was just a capital city, and military towns like Ningwuguan and Yanmen Pass would be stationed with heavy troops from the imperial court, and there were Datong, Yanghe, Xuanfu, Juyong, Miyun, and countless guards in front......

After the Heavenly Mandate Army broke through the city and entered the city in large numbers, He Jin breathed a sigh of relief and swaggered into the city through the open east gate, however, the battle in the city was not over.

The Ming army continued to fight by using civilian houses and lanes, and Zhou Yu rode on horseback, galloping around, while facing the battle, while shouting, although the Ningwu Pass was broken, the morale of the Ming army did not seem to be low.

He Jin, under the escort of his own soldiers, entered the Dongcheng and rushed into the city along Dongshi Street, and there were many routs along the way, but these routs almost did not surrender on their knees, but continued to resist.

After walking less than fifty steps, there was a lot of noise in front of him, and suddenly a war horse rushed out of the alley on the left, and the military general on horseback, although he was wearing armor, was covered with blood, and his face was covered by bloodstains, and he couldn't see his original face clearly.

This person was wearing the armor of the Ming army, exactly the same as the cavalry of the Heavenly Mandate Army, He Jin couldn't tell whether he was the general of the Ming Army or the Heavenly Mandate Army for a while, and he was stunned, and a few more horses rushed out of the alley, shouting: "Wang Zaimao, look where you still want to run!" ”

Only then did He Jin understand that this person was Wang Zaimao, the deputy envoy of Ningwu Armament, because he wanted to chase after him from a certain distance, he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up, so he took off his bow and arrow and released an arrow at Wang Zaimao.

His archery skills are good, and the distance is not far, this piece is in the heart of Wang Zaimao, Wang Zaimao screamed "Ah", unconsciously turned over and fell off the horse, the soldiers who were chasing just now got off the horse, cut off Wang Zaimao's head, and several Ming soldiers next to him were stupid for a while, and then knelt down and surrendered.

He Jin's heart moved, Ningwu Pass had been broken, but the Ming army in the city refused to surrender, mainly because Zhou Yuji had not yet been caught, as long as Zhou Yuji was killed, the Ming army lost its backbone, and it lost the courage to fight.

He immediately shouted: "Catch Zhou Yuji, reward one hundred taels of silver, and the same is true for the head!" ”

"Kill, kill Zhou Yuji, and receive the silver!"

The soldiers all shouted and rushed forward, not far away, and sure enough, they met Zhou Yuji at the entrance of the alley, and he took advantage of the narrow alley to command the soldiers to resist stubbornly.

The superior forces of the Mandate of Heaven Army had already surrounded the entrance of the alley, but Zhou Yuji was not afraid, He Jin arrived, took advantage of the gap in the battle, and released an arrow at Zhou Yuji, right in the left arm.

Zhou Yuji couldn't stand on horseback, so he rolled off the saddle, but he was fighting on foot, a cavalry of the Mandate of Heaven Army stepped forward and slashed with a knife, wanting to cut off Zhou Yuji's feet, Zhou Yuji jumped up, and he could avoid it, but the long knife in his hand was pushed forward, hitting the soldier's chest, and the blade was not half cut.

The soldier screamed, and the saber in his hand fell to the ground......

Zhou Yuji landed on his feet, sent the long knife forward, and shouted: "Thief of the Heavenly Mandate Army, go to death......"

He Jin was furious, and when he reached the end of the road, he dared to be so rampant! He urged the war horse and stabbed at Zhou Yuji with a spear, but was avoided by Zhou Yuji, and when the two of them were wrong, they didn't know who put the cold arrow and hit Zhou Yuji's thigh.

Zhou Yuji pulled out the arrow on his leg, and immediately the blood flowed, his eyes were hideous, but he took the initiative to pounce on He Jin, "Thief, go die......"

He Jin used his spear to pull Zhou Yuji's long knife, feeling that his strength was quite strong, and he was angry for a while, and he actually fought Zhou Yuji alone.

Zhou Yuji lost his horse, was hit by an arrow in his thigh, and had many inconveniences in his movements, but he was not afraid and made a mess with He Jin.

He Jin knew that Zhou Yuji had put life and death aside, but the Heavenly Mandate Army had already entered the city, and he was not afraid that he would run away, so he accepted his ambition and faced the battle carefully.

If the two of them fought alone, He Jin Tie would definitely not be Zhou Yuji's opponent, but Zhou Yuji was fighting on foot, and he was injured a lot, and he was worried about the soldiers behind him, and his combat effectiveness had been reduced to a critical point.

Zhao Yingyuan, the head of the third regiment who followed He Jin, wanted to come forward to help, but he couldn't find the opportunity, so he took off his bow and arrow, and the arrow was always aimed at Zhou Yuji.

The battle lasted for more than a quarter of an hour, Zhou Yuji lacked strength, injured his thigh, had difficulty moving, and was stabbed in the left shoulder by He Jin.

Zhao Yingyuan looked at the air and released the arrow, and in one arrow, it hit Zhou Yuji's waist and eyes, Zhou Yuji's body was stunned, and he was pierced through the chest by He Jin with a shot and pressed to the ground.

Zhao Yingyuan threw the bow and arrow, turned over and dismounted, drew his sword and cut off Zhou Yuji's head, He Jin laughed: "Ying Yuan, you also have half of the credit for killing Zhou Yuji, so let's divide you fifty taels!" ”

"Thank you, General!" Zhao Yingyuan threw Zhou Yuji's head and bowed.

He Jin said to the soldiers who were besieging Zhou Yuji just now: "This general order, kill Zhou Yuji, reward 100 taels of silver, although you did not kill Zhou Yuji, but you were killed, this general will succeed, and the remaining 50 taels of silver will be divided among you!" ”

The soldiers cheered, these are the soldiers of the Fengtian camp, they were rewarded by the lord, and they naturally rejoiced, and Zhou Yuji was not killed by them, but killed by the lord himself, although they fought bloodily, the reward of fifty taels of silver, but it was for nothing, whose heart is not grateful to the lord?

Zhao Yingyuan was still worried about the fifty taels of silver, but when he saw that He Jin gave the reward to the soldiers, he naturally didn't want to pick it up, so he raised his hand to the soldiers and said: "It's not fifty taels, it's one hundred taels, and the fifty taels of the general will also let you share it!" ”

The soldiers cheered again.

He Jin glanced at Zhao Yingyuan, shook his head and smiled, and then said to the cheering soldiers: "Take Zhou Yuji's head, go and surrender the Ming army, and those who refuse to surrender will be killed!" ”

The soldiers rushed forward, but He Jin turned to the right and came to the yamen of the town army, thinking that there should be no defenders here, so he received the yamen first, but he didn't expect to release some cold arrows, and some arrows came from the roof.

He Jin saw that several soldiers had been killed or wounded, and he was furious in his heart, Zhou Yuji was dead, and you still resisted a bear? When he looked up, he was startled to see that there were one or twenty female soldiers squatting on the roof.

He waved his hand to stop the soldiers and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" Why resist the Mandate of Heaven here? ”

"We are Madame's guards, guarding the public here," said one of the female soldiers, "Get out of the way if you know each other, the old lady's arrows don't recognize anyone!" ”

He Jin asked the soldiers who were guarding him, only to know that Zhou Yuji was the chief soldier of Shanxi, who had always been stationed in Ningwuguan, and his family members stayed in the yamen of the town army.

Damn, dozens of female soldiers, just want to stop the pace of the Mandate of Heaven!

He Jin shouted to the other side: "Zhou Yuji has died in battle, you surrender quickly and avoid killing!" ”

"Surrender?" The female soldier on the roof opposite sneered: "There is no one in the Zhou family who surrendered," glanced at He Jin, and said: "You dare to curse my master and eat me with an arrow!" As soon as he finished speaking, his right hand was loosened, and an arrow "swished", and Ben He Jin came.

Fortunately, the distance was far away, and the arrow landed on the ground more than ten steps in front of He Jin.

He Jin was furious, and at this time, he still didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he waved his spear and shouted: "Brothers, kill, don't leave the chickens and dogs!" ”

Hundreds of soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army rushed forward, and a burst of arrows shot all Liu's guards, I don't know if Liu is dead, He Jin Gu can't check the corpse, but he took the soldiers and slaughtered them into the back office, regardless of the old and the young, all of them were slaughtered.

The order in the city was a little settled, Li Zicheng entered the city with his own soldiers, saw the corpses everywhere in the market, and knew that there was still a battle in the city, and sighed in his heart.

Although Zhou Yuji was an enemy general, he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and his family died heroically, which can be regarded as a well-deserved death, fulfilling the name of loyalty.

When Li Zicheng led people to clean up the battlefields inside and outside the city, the bodies of Zhou Yuji and his family were not burned, but buried on the bank of the Hui River outside the city, and they were personally sacrificed.

He Jin slaughtered Zhou Yuji's family, Li Zicheng did not blame, Zhou Yuji was the enemy at that time, and his wife Liu led the guards to resist the Mandate of Heaven Army, if they didn't kill them, could the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven Army let them shoot them?

In the battle of Ningwuguan this time, the Shanxi troops under the jurisdiction of the Fengtian Camp He Jin Department suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers killed in battle alone were close to 3,000, plus the seriously wounded soldiers, the battle losses totaled more than 5,000, and the casualties of the Fengtian battalion itself were not light.

Li Zicheng made a deal on behalf of He Jin, and asked the Fengtian battalion to rest at Ningwu Pass for two days, digest the accepted surrender troops, and then go to catch up with the army in front.

That night, Li Zicheng was holding a military summary meeting of the Yanmen and Ningwu wars, and Lu Yang, the commander of the first regiment of the pro-soldiers, quietly came in, whispered a few words to Li Zicheng, handed over two unopened messages, and then left.

Li Zicheng was puzzled, opened the message and looked at it, and was immediately overjoyed, opened another message, it was still a surprise, and then hastily ended the military meeting, and the haze of war under Ningwu Pass was also swept away.
