"Bump!"

A huge head arced in mid-air with a slip of blood, and then fell with a bang, and Durena's head with a hint of consternation and a hint of hideousness rolled on the ground for a few times, and then finally stopped rolling with a cloud of dust, and slowly stopped at Pang Gang's feet, surrounded by a dull gaze.

Pang Gang took the first step and grabbed the money rat braid behind Du Le's head, grabbed it in his hand, held it high in the air, and shouted: "The thief chief is dead, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will kill them with me!" ”

"Kill!"

In any era, if the commander of an army is killed in battle, the impact on morale is very great. Now when Pang Gang held Durer's head high and signaled to the surrounding soldiers in the battle array, there was a sudden chaos among the Qing soldiers, and countless Qing soldiers looked at the head raised high in Pang Gang's hand in horror and shouted in Manchu in horror: "General Durer is dead, General Durer is dead!" ”

With the intensification of the Qing army's agitation, the morale of the Qing army, which had been condensed by the generals, finally collapsed, and the remaining Qing soldiers scattered and fled, Pang Gang naturally would not let go of this good opportunity, he did not pursue the fleeing Qing soldiers, but took the pikemen to seize the time to insert the front, he now has only one thought, that is, to meet Li Chongzhen as soon as possible, as long as the two sides of the army are united, they will have a steady stream of reinforcements, as long as there are cavalry to protect their wings, there are friendly troops behind him, You don't have to be afraid of any attack.

Not only did Pang Gang see this problem, but Azig and Lu Xiangsheng, who were the commanders of both sides, naturally did not fail to see it.

The furious Azig in the Qing army camp grabbed a herald and shouted at him: "You immediately tell Yanguli that you must break through the Ming army's defense line in the shortest possible time, regardless of casualties!" Did you hear me clearly? ”

"Scum, the minions will go immediately!"

Azig, who was furious, turned blue at this time, and his fingers were so hard that the bones between the knuckles rattled, and the herald didn't dare to say a word, so he ran to give the order.

On the other side, Lu Xiangsheng also sent orders to Li Chongzhen and Zu Dashou in front, ordering them to make peace with Pang Gang before the Qing army's reinforcements arrived, and then jointly resist the counterattack of the Qing army.

The fierce battle situation also saw the cold sweat on the foreheads of Chongzhen and the civil and military officials on the city wall, and those who were still forced by Chongzhen to watch the fierce battle under the city gate after vomiting the food in their stomachs found for the first time that the romantic wars described in the history books and biographies were so cruel and tragic, there was no warmth, no mercy, and no so-called demeanor, and some were just naked violence and killing.

At this time, Chongzhen was sitting on a goose-yellow soft chair that Wang Chengen had moved, looking at the soldiers on both sides who were fighting fiercely under the city, and their moods also fluctuated with the battle situation, especially when he saw the tall figure who was like a no-man's land in the midst of thousands of troops, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.

When Chongzhen was thinking about his thoughts, his nose suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face when his mind moved, but then he straightened his face and said: "Yujiao, don't hide, hurry up and get out of here!" ”

With Chongzhen's voice, a little eunuch dressed in light blue clothes slowly stood out from his side, this little eunuch was about eleven or twelve years old, with a slender body and picturesque skin and eyebrows.

Looking at the little eunuch who slowly came to him with his head down, Chongzhen was angry and funny in his heart, and shouted in a low voice: "Yu Jiao, how did you get in, don't you know that this is in front of the two armies?" ”

The little eunuch's little face showed a look of fear and grievance, a pair of crystal clear eyes were faintly foggy, she slowly came to Chongzhen with her hands behind her back, stretched out her little hand and hugged Chongzhen's arm and said coquettishly: "Father, people just heard that my Ming is going to have a decisive battle with the Tartars today, and I want to come and see it!" ”

This little eunuch is Chongzhen's daughter Kunxing Princess Zhu Yujiao, which is what later generations called Princess Changping. She was born to Concubine Shun, the mother of this daughter, Concubine Wang Shun, died of blood collapse shortly after giving birth to her, and was raised by Queen Zhou. This time, she put on the makeup of a little eunuch and mixed with the eunuchs serving Chongzhen and went up to the city tower together, because she was too close to Chongzhen, she was discovered by Chongzhen.

"Then you saw it, do you want to keep watching?" Chongzhen asked with a straight face.

When Chongzhen asked, Princess Kunxing cried out with a "wow", she suddenly threw herself into Chongzhen's arms and convulsed: "Woo woo Father, the war is too terrible, I saw a lot of people dead below, and everyone was scared to death, so I came to my father's side, I didn't expect people to scold people as soon as they came to my father!" ”

Looking at the daughter who was crying with pear blossoms and rain in his arms, Chongzhen let out a long sigh and comforted softly: "Emperor, fighting is a man's business, this is not the place where your daughter's family should come, and the father scolds you for your own good, don't stay here, your father will send guards to send you back to the palace!" ”

Although Zhu Yujiao cried a lot, she still shook her head vigorously in Chongzhen's arms, and said in a muffled voice: "People don't go, people want to be with their father." ”

Looking at her daughter whose face was stuck with tears and snot like a little flower cat, but still stubbornly refused to go back, Chongzhen shook his head and said helplessly: "Okay, but if you promise your father, stay by your father's side, and don't run around!" ”

"Hmmm! Father, rest assured, people must be obedient! After Zhu Yujiao heard that Chongzhen would no longer rush her back, her little head nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, and a smile appeared on her little face that had not dried her tears.

"You!" Chongzhen looked at his only daughter with a helpless look on her face, and lightly flicked a chestnut on Zhu Yujiao's little head, and said with a smile: "I really don't understand you little girl, since you are so scared, why don't you want to go back?" ”

Zhu Yujiao covered her little head and said unconvinced: "Father, look at those civil and military officials on the city wall, which one of them is not afraid, so many people are vomiting, but no one will go back?" ”

Chongzhen sneered: "Hmph, you're wrong, if it weren't for the emperor's decree that no one should leave, these people might have run away for the most part." ”

Zhu Yujiao spit out her little fragrant tongue, and she was smart and did not continue to discuss this topic that made Chongzhen angry, but turned her head to the outside of the city wall and pointed to a tall Ming army general who was holding a huge mace in the Qing army and said: "Father, you see, this general is so powerful, people just saw him kill Tartars is really amazing, people on the city wall to see him kill Tartars is like chopping melons and vegetables, just like the book said that there is no courage of ten thousand people, After the war, you can praise others. ”

Sure enough, Chongzhen's originally unhappy face also showed a smile after hearing his daughter mention this Ming army general, and his originally tense face eased: "The emperor is right, this Ming army is indeed very brave, it is said that he is from Lingshanwei, Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province, a thousand households named Pang Gang, I didn't expect Qingzhou to have such an outstanding general, it's really good!" ”

"Hee-hee!"

Zhu Yujiao secretly looked at her father, whose face was gradually improving, and secretly laughed with a small fragrant tongue.

Just as Chongzhen's father and daughter were talking, after Pang Gang and Li Chongzhen's desperate fight, the two armies finally got together, and after a while, Zu Dashou's cavalry also joined them to chase and kill the fleeing Qing soldiers.

After the Ming army joined forces, Pang Gang, who had no worries, immediately led the pikemen back to kill them, because behind them, the bird gunners and sword and shield soldiers were struggling to resist the onslaught of the elite cavalry led by the Qing army.

"Bang bang bang!"

The bird soldiers hiding behind the cart immediately took a few steps back after reloading ammunition and shooting at the fastest speed, and then continued to reload and shoot again, in this short period of time, it has become the instinct of the bird soldiers to keep loading and shooting, they just feel that the Qing soldiers in front of them seem to be endless, and a group of dead ones continue to come up.

If it weren't for the large iron thorns and two carts that were not collected in front of the car formation on the eve of the battle, the Qing army would have rushed in a long time ago, but even so, this defense line would have become precarious under the repeated attacks of the Qing army without casualties.

"Quick, quick, reload!"

"Fire!"

"Reload!"

"Fire!"

At this time, Li Yuan, who was standing on the front line to command the bird soldiers, had long since taken care of any segmented shooting, and he had only one thought in his heart, that is, to use the fastest speed to let the bird soldiers shoot out the lead bullets in their hands.

"Quick, reload! Bastard, what are you doing, why don't you reload yet! At this moment, Li Yuan suddenly found several bird guns standing in place, holding bird guns in their hands, stunned.

In a rage, Li Yuan strode up to the bird soldier and kicked out a sergeant, scolding loudly: "You bastards, why don't you reload, if you let the Tartars rush in, Lao Tzu will cut you according to military regulations!" ”

The sergeant who was kicked by Li Yuan wept and mourned, and even raised the bird gun in his hand and said with a crying voice: "My lord, the bird gun has already become popular, and if it is fought again, it will explode!" ”

It turned out that after dozens of consecutive firings, the barrel of the gun had already turned red, and the gunpowder had just been put into it and spontaneously combusted in the chamber, and in this case it could no longer be fired.

Li Yuan was stunned, looked at the gunfire that had almost stopped around him and the Qing cavalry who had already rushed up, and was about to grit his teeth and order the sword and shield soldiers to resist, when suddenly there was a shocking killing sound from behind him
