At Ningwu Pass, 300 miles away, Zhou Yuji, the general soldier of Daizhou, sent people to count the remaining gunpowder, projectiles, grain and grass, and fell into deep thought, and did not plan a countermeasure until the east was white.

Facing the rising dawn, he silently prayed to the sky: "I am a Ming general, I have the responsibility to defend the land, and I should live and die with Ningwuguan - I should do my best, may God bless me!" ”

Zhou Yuji's appearance is simple and stout, his complexion is dark, and his whole body naturally exudes a sense of perseverance. Yesterday's hard battle, sleepless all night, but not only did he not get tired at all, but he also looked even more heroic. Taking advantage of the dawn of dawn, Zhou Yuji quickly made a deployment.

As he expected, before entering the Chenshi, the Shun army began to attack the city again.

This time, the Shun army also brought artillery and fired artillery to attack the city. And Zhou Yuji used the soil bags and stones that had been prepared to fight. The walls were repeatedly bombarded, but they were immediately repaired by the soldiers on the walls with earth and stones. The Shun army set up a ladder to attack the city, and Zhou Yuji used the hot tung oil to defend the enemy......

Two hours later, the Shun army had to withdraw its troops, and the casualties were thousands. By the afternoon, Zhou Yuji adopted a new tactic. When the Shun army attacked the city, he pretended not to close the city for defense, but sent weak pawns to lure the battle, attracting thousands of Shun troops to enter the city gate. At this time, Zhou Yuji ordered to fall down the gate, and annihilated the enemy who entered the city with the elite of ambush, killing a mountain of corpses and blood in the city gate......

Another day passed, and at dusk, the reinforcements led by Li Zicheng finally arrived in front of Ningwu Pass.

Li Zicheng listened to the siege report and the number of casualties in the past two days, and his heart was furious. On the spot, Li Guo was whipped twenty lashes to vent his anger. Then, he scolded the generals under his command:

"It's just a Ningwu Pass. A Zhou Yuji with a few thousand remnants of the guard, he lost 20,000 of our horses - continue to fight like this. Do we still need the city of Beijing? ”

After losing the battle, Li Guo, who was whipped, lowered his head and did not dare to speak, the atmosphere in the whole camp was as cold as an ice cellar, but Li Zicheng continued to scold endlessly: "Tomorrow to attack the city, whoever dares to retreat will be killed!" ”

After the generals came out as promised, Li Zicheng sulked alone in the big tent of the Chinese army.

The anger and anger in his heart were greater than any previous setbacks and failures, because the city of Beijing was not far away, and the acquisition of the whole great tomorrow seemed to him to be a matter of imminent importance. It's like it's at your fingertips. But the people and horses in his heart were trapped by a Zhou Yuji - Li Zicheng couldn't help but be angry, especially the main general of this defeat turned out to be Li Guo, who had always been brave and good at fighting, which made him feel a hidden worry that he didn't want to speak......

Li Zicheng walked to the handsome position, sat down, and muttered: "Since I proclaimed myself king, I have never fought such a defeat." Even Wu Sangui, with an army of 100,000, could only shrink in Luoyang City and did not dare to confront me, and eight or nine times out of ten Daming City was successfully surrendered...... Now, if you can't solve Zhou Yuji, you will be trapped by such a small Ning Wuguan. Once the news spreads, the places that surrendered voluntarily will not be able to do the opposite......"

I have to admit that Li Zicheng is still very self-aware, and the current invincibility of the Dashun army is actually just a momentum, and everyone is frightened by the "500,000" army. There is no resistance at all. Like that snowball, it gets bigger and bigger; And like the bubble, which blows bigger and bigger. What Li Zicheng is most afraid of is the day when the bubble bursts!

Even, he regretted it a little: he knew it was like this. Why bother in the first place? You should take another way to Beijing, ignoring this week's Yuji...... Now it's delaying him. The morale of the military will also be affected as a result. Along the way, Beijing City, as well as several important towns in Beizhili, if you meet someone like Zhou Yuji, you don't know how long it will take to hit Beijing, maybe......

Li Zicheng didn't dare to think further, the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and soon ordered the generals to come over. The generals also knew that King Chuang was on fire now, and no one dared to provoke him, and Li Zicheng couldn't say it clearly, so he could only scold angrily all the way, scolding everyone in front of him in fear. After a while, Tian Jianxiu, who was friendly with Li Guo, stood up to play a round.

Tian Jianxiu saluted Li Zicheng and said loudly: "Before my army set off, Li Yan and Li Gongzi told us that Zhou Yuji is good at defending the city, if he can't defeat it, he will change to the technique of long-term siege, and when the grain and grass in Ningwu Pass are exhausted, it is naturally the right thing to break the city!" ”

Li Zicheng has many generals under him, but there are very few people with brains, Li Yan is counted as one, and Niu Jinxing, who claims to be the military advisor of the Dashun Army, is naturally counted as one.

After Li Yan is an official eunuch, Niu Jinxing is not bad, but he is a real brand of the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, Niu Jinxing was introduced to Li Zicheng by Li Yan, and it is said that the relationship between the two is naturally very good. It's a pity that there is an old saying called "peers are enemies", and it is unfortunate that Li Yan and Niu Jinxing both rely on their brains to eat, and they are also interested in Li Zicheng to obtain the position of "prime minister" after he reigns in the world. In this way, the relationship between the two gradually became like water and fire.

As soon as Niu Jinxing, the "future prime minister" of Dashun, heard Li Guo talk about Li Yan's strategy, 10,000 grass and mud horses popped up in his heart, and with the thinking habits of Daming scholars, everything that is supported by political enemies must be opposed, and what political enemies oppose must be supported by cliffs!

Niu Jinxing immediately stood up and raised objections, he took two steps forward, walked up to Li Zicheng, and said respectfully: "The minister thinks that you must not delay time here. My Dashun army has spread the word to the world, and it will be in charge of Beijing in April, and this matter is known to the world. If you don't move forward here, won't you disappoint the people who eat pot pulp to welcome the king?! King, don't listen to Li Yan's strategy! ”

Niu Jinxing is now the military advisor next to Li Zicheng, and according to his own positioning, he should be the role of Wu in the Water Margin. But Song Jiang can't compare to Li Zicheng after all, so Song Jiangguang thinks about Zhao'an, how can he have the courage to build a country by himself?

As long as the political enemy Li Yan is eliminated, wouldn't the post of prime minister of Dashun State be captured?

In fact, Niu Jinxing's opinion may not be wrong, if he can gnaw away the well-known hard bones Zhou Yuji, the general soldier of Daizhou, it will also be beneficial for Dashun to march into Beijing.

Now it depends on the courage of King Li Zicheng, do you dare to fill it with human life? Thinking that Ning Wuguan is only a few thousand remnants, even if they are all iron-clad elites, they can't withstand the onslaught in turns.

Niu Jinxing saw that Li Zicheng was a little hesitant, and immediately added: "King, how can there be immortals in war?" Even if we lose tens of thousands of people in front of this Ningwu Pass, what do we get? As soon as the Ningwu Pass is broken, there will be no more soldiers around Beijing! ”
