"The Emperor has ascended to heaven! The emperor has ascended to heaven......" Wang Chengen's sharp voice with grief and indignation sounded in the sky above the north gate of the Beijing Division. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info seem to be crying, and it seems to be seeing them off. Except for his voice, there was suddenly no sound up and down the city.

The civil and military ministers who surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, including those eunuchs, such as Cao Huachun and others, none of them still had the disdainful or gloating face before. Most people don't know if they are stimulated, and their conscience finds it, and they bow their heads with shame, as if they are mourning in silence.

Even Jianyu, who has always been known for his barbarism and ferocity, showed admiration when faced with an emperor who could die generously to defend his dignity.

At this moment, only Huang Taiji was still awake, and after he was shocked, he immediately realized that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly ordered loudly: "Quick, recapture Zhu Youzhen's body and shut him up!" ”

However, the first to respond to him was not his Manchu minions.

I saw Wang Chengen raise his head, the corners of his mouth cracked, revealing a hint of sarcasm, and he seemed to stare at Huang Taiji with disdain. Then he showed a solemn look, with determination, turned around, jumped hard, and jumped off the city three or four feet high with the body of Emperor Chongzhen.

The people at the head of the city did not foresee this scene, and they couldn't help but let out a "ah......", and then immediately instinctively rushed to the battlements to see the situation.

Sun Chengzong, who was under the city, reacted immediately when he saw Wang Chengen jumping down, urging the horse to hurry while ordering loudly: "Quick, snatch back Your Majesty's dragon body!" ”

In this case, the closer you get to the walls, the more dangerous it becomes. But there were quite a few people who, regardless of the danger, quickly urged their horses forward.

But when Sun Chengzong arrived at the city, Zu Dashou had already come from behind, arrived first and had already turned over and dismounted.

I saw that under the city wall, Wang Chengen was lying on his back on the ground, holding the corpse of Emperor Chongzhen, tightly guarding; And he himself was covered with blood on his head and face, and blood kept coming out of his mouth.

When he saw Zu Dashou rushing in front of him, he also wanted to make a gesture of reaching out and wanting to hand over the body of Emperor Chongzhen. It's just a pity that he didn't get his wish, so he tilted his head and didn't move again.

Zu Dashou had red eyes, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he picked up the body of Emperor Chongzhen, and almost didn't stop, he simply turned over and got on the horse, and shouted while turning the horse's head: "Supervisor, go quickly!" ”

Sun Chengzong looked at Wang Chengen's corpse lying on his back, and hesitated for a moment before turning his horse's head and following Zu Dashou away from the city wall.

These things actually happened very quickly, and when the people at the head of the city leaned down to look down at the situation, Zu Dashou and the others had already patted their horses away from the city wall.

When the builders at the head of the city saw this scene, they all hesitated a little, and they all turned their heads to look at the arrow tower. They knew everything just now, in fact, to persuade those Ming troops outside the city to surrender, that is, to make these Ming ministers surrender just now. If you don't get the order to do things recklessly, I'm afraid it will be bad.

"Shoot arrows, don't let them run!" The emperor in the arrow tower was furious, and hurriedly ordered loudly.

When such a thing happened, he naturally understood that his plan to persuade Sun Chengzong to surrender was in vain. In this case, then only the rebels will die.

But after such a delay, Sun Chengzong and the others had already run a distance, and the guards who were a little farther away also rushed over to protect the main general.

However, the captives at the head of these cities were all good hands, and after receiving the order, they instinctively began to draw their bows and arrows, shooting at the backs of Sun Chengzong and others.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Whoosh ......"

The sound of the bowstring vibrating, the sound of arrows piercing the air rang out from time to time. At this time, the advantage of the rate of fire of bows and arrows over firearms is well reflected. Although there are not many captives in this area of the West Gate City, there are many arrows shot at Sun Chengzong and others.

The sound of the war horse eating pain sounded, Sun Chengzong was hit by an arrow in the crotch, and he fell to the ground with a few wails, throwing Sun Chengzong out.

The sound of "poof" sounded, Zu Dashou felt a pain in his shoulders and back, but he didn't dare to delay, holding the body of Emperor Chongzhen and trying to lie on the horse's back, kicking the horse's belly sharply with the tips of his legs, urging the horse to gallop.

The guards who went to protect the main general took out shields hanging on the back of their horses to block the arrows, and even a few guards saw that the situation was critical and had no shield in their hands, so they drove the horses past the main general, and opened their hands and used their bodies as shields to block the arrows of the main general.

When Huang Taiji saw this scene in the arrow tower, he was so angry that he wanted to kill, turned his head and glared at Jierharang on the side, and shouted loudly: "Why are you stunned, why don't you lead your troops to attack quickly!" ”

"Yes, yes......" Zilharang's face was a little ugly, and he agreed repeatedly, as he walked quickly to the stairs and hurried to carry out the order.

Outside the city, Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment just now, and when he also urged the horse to rush to the city wall, he suddenly stopped again, turned the horse's head and rushed to the army, and ordered loudly: "Hurry, line up, prepare for battle!" Quick, array ......"

His guards hurried to meet him, shouting his words and passing the order to the other generals.

The Ming army was originally lined up outside the city, and after receiving the military order, it was a little chaotic at first, but it quickly calmed down. This time, the efficiency seems to be much faster than before.

When Hong Chengchou arrived in the army, the commander-in-chief Wu Zimian had already stepped forward to hand over the order: "My lord, all departments are ready to fight. ”

Hong Chengchou didn't turn back immediately, he quickly looked around, and then turned his head to see that the guards had already received the main general's return to the battle, and he was slightly relieved in his heart. However, he looked up at the head of the capital city again, his face suddenly became grim, and he ordered again: "The cavalry is on alert, the infantry army is slowly retreating, and those who dare to panic will be beheaded on the spot!" ”

The army outside the city is just a stone's throw away from the head of the city, although you don't have to worry about bows and arrows, but there are a lot of artillery at the head of the city, and the range is very long. If the dense formation was bombarded by artillery, and then charged by the captured cavalry, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, there was no cannon sound at the head of the city for a while, and these two Ming armies were once Hong Chengchou's subordinates, and when his military orders were transmitted, no one dared to disobey.

Moreover, the implementation of the military order this time seems to be much more ideal than any previous training and warfare. Although the shouts of officers at all levels could be heard everywhere, on the whole, the cavalry was in full position, and the infantry was slowly retreating, and there was nothing wrong with it.

At the head of Jingshi City, there was finally a movement of artillery. Plumes of gunpowder smoke rose up, and then a loud "boom" resounded in the air.

At the same time, the gate of the north gate of the capital division was opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and a cavalry army of Jianyu rushed out of the city.
