Soon, the Tongguan defenders couldn't cheer.

The belly and back are under attack, the door is wide open, and the army is exhausted. However, the enemy was reluctant to attack, and even if he wanted to fight for his life, he had no chance.

Three days later, deep despair permeated the entire Tongguan.

It's no secret that the military rations have long been exhausted, after all, this is not an open place, it is clear at a glance, there is no way to hide it.

Originally, Tongguan was a place to store grain, but after three years of drought in Shaanxi, officials were corrupt and erosive. These regulations have long since died in name, and the huge grain storage room is so empty that not even a mouse will make a home here.

Everyone leaned weakly on the city wall, their eyes empty and expressionless.

They are not greedy for life and afraid of death, nor are they incompetent cowards. But in this battle, there is no hope at all.

No one dares to repair the gap in Tongguan, and no one wants to repair it. Hong Chengchou locked himself in his room and didn't come out for three days. He was the first to foresee the current situation, and the first to despair.

Outside the pass, the Luoyang soldiers had already cleared the battlefield. At the risk of transporting wounded soldiers and corpses that were far away from the city, they were still intact.

Zhao Hong ordered that the corpses of the fallen soldiers be placed under the gate and worshiped today.

The simple and majestic drum horn sounded, and the Tongguan defenders struggled to get up, and some people even had a hint of joy in their eyes.

They are old Qin, and they would rather die in battle than starve to death on Tongguan.

But soon, they were disappointed. The hateful Luoyang soldiers did not attack the city. They set up the altar and were paying homage to the dead robes.

The Tongguan defenders bared their heads and looked at the dead bodies with envy, they were happier than themselves when they died. The sacrificial cattle and sheep were roasted by the fire, and the aroma was blown into Tongguan by the wind. In this city wall full of hungry ghosts, thousands of times richer, many people have already swallowed their saliva.

Zhao Hong took the stage, dressed in white: "Tonight, the Hades Palace is full, so that the Hades can know that all the people who come are my brothers in life and death." Bo wine dedication, may the Lord of Yama greet me and wait for the robe, and on the day we meet under the spring, there will be a heavy thanks!

Come on, toast! ”

Dozens of huge wine vats poured the wine on the ground, and tens of thousands of people held cups and drank in unison: "Tonight, the Hades Palace is full, so that the Hades can know that all who have come are my brothers in life and death." Bo wine dedication, may the Lord of Yama greet me and wait for the robe, and on the day we meet under the spring, there will be a heavy thanks!

”

The sound resounded through Tongguan, and the aftermath was endless. Tens of thousands of people chanted in unison, which was better than a loudspeaker. The voice was sad and heroic, and even Zhu Yousong's eyes were full of joy when he heard it.

In the eyes of the Tongguan defenders, there was envy, and the little soldier Li Yu threw the spear in his hand, and said angrily: "We might as well be dead, if we can be a soldier in the Luoyang army, what does it matter if we die." ”

The commander next to him kicked Ren Yuan and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? This kick was menacing and extremely powerful, but when it came to Li Yu, he had no strength.

After three days without food, he had already exhausted his strength, and in his heart, he did not have such thoughts, but he just refused to say it.

Sun Chuanting has left Beijing and arrived in Shaanxi, but his plan to besiege Luoyang from all sides is very important, Hong Chengchou wants to defend Tongguan.

But like everyone else, he also made the fatal mistake of underestimating Luoyang. The impression that the incompetence of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty is only money has been ingrained, and no one believes it, and in three days, the 50,000 army cannot hold a thousand-year-old Xiongguan.

Hong Chengchou finally walked out, his resolute face was exhausted. Dark eye circles, messy hair, disheveled clothes. In Lord Hong, who has always paid attention to appearance, there is the sloppiness that he once hated the most.

Bai Xiaowu hurriedly came over, he didn't have any hope, but with a hint of change, it still made this group of desperate people who were extremely bored and waiting for death excited.

Hong Chengchou didn't speak for three days, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while, coughed lightly, and said, "Gather people and horses, let's go to the national disaster together." ”

A trace of inexplicable meaning flashed in Bai Xiaowu's eyes, and he took the order and left.

Lord Hong is right, they can only "go to the country", because according to Luoyang's firepower, these people were harvested by artillery bows and arrows before they could reach the front of others.

The defenders of Tongguan walked out of the pass one after another and walked down the city wall, their steps were heavy, and none of them had the strength to speak.

On the side of the Luoyang soldiers, they immediately waited for the battle, the gunpowder projectile was loaded, and the bow and arrow crossbow cart was full.

Six hundred steps not far away, usually a few back and forth, but at the moment it seems like a huge chasm that cannot be reached.

At this moment, there was an exclamation from behind Tong Guan. The sound of fighting rang out.

The rushing defeated army shouted: "The rear army has surrendered to Kaesong, and the enemy is coming from behind." ”

It turns out that in a desperate situation, there can really be a worse situation. At this moment, all the Tongguan Ming Army had this idea in their hearts.

Hu Bawan jumped his horse again and came to the front of the battle, shouting loudly: "We are all Ming troops, the Ming people don't kill the Ming people, are you willing to be loyal to King Fu?" ”

He said it cleverly and did not use such humiliating words as surrender. But these people, born warriors, have no one to lead.

Zhu Yousong was in the distance, his palms were sweating, he looked at this side, and sighed: "Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou, you surrender faction, don't be tough this time, the lives of tens of thousands of Ming athletes." ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Hong Chengchou, who was surrounded by his own soldiers. His eyes were black and he almost fainted from hunger, but what sanity remained told him it was time to surrender.

I have lasted long enough, whether it is King Fu or the imperial court, there should be no too vicious rumors. If you surrender at this time, you should be able to save your reputation as much as possible, and your career is not over.

He forced his face and just wanted to say a few words, but who knew that he had overdressed, and the soldiers thought that he wanted to resist to the end and sacrifice himself.

Bai Xiaowu shouted angrily: "Hong Chengchou, if you want to die, don't pull so many people and bury you." The Ming court has even deducted my salary, we have to follow King Fu, I'm sorry! ”

Before Hong Chengchou could scold angrily, seven or eight cold blades came in response, and several personal soldiers chopped him into meat paste.

Bai Xiaowu lifted his head and shouted loudly: "We have descended, we are willing to descend to the blessed king." ”

With the lead, the Ming army surrendered one after another. When they put down their weapons, the Yue family army roaring behind them just arrived.

Ge Jiu and Lei Dong took the lead, elated and about to fight and make contributions. Zhao Hong threw a javelin out of his hand in front of the city gate, stopped the galloping horse, and said, "Don't do it, they have descended." ”

Ge Jiu tugged at the reins, raised the front hooves of the horse under his hips, and crossed the spear. After frozen, he shouted backwards: "Big brother, they have also descended!" ”

His voice is very useful, at this time, these 2,000 troops surrounded by them are all guarding Tongguandongwei, and there are still tens of thousands of Tongguanwei, waiting to be collected.

If it weren't for Yue Chenfeng hearing this voice, I am afraid that he would have fought with Wang Jun and others with people everywhere.
