More than 100 people were carrying knives and escorting hundreds of people to the mouth of the bamboo silk, none of them had weapons, only some carts, loaded with some earth and stones.

In the midst of the shouts, Zhang Zhongqi followed a few armor soldiers and forced more than 30 people up a nearby hill with a knife, most of these people were actually stronger than him, but none of them dared to resist them. Zhang Zhongqi's task was to find a big log, which was used to break open the city gate, because the starting whistle horse told Mang Gurtai, and the city gate hole was not blocked. There are also many craftsmen in the coating, and if the attack is frustrated, they can make rudimentary utensils to attack again.

Zhang Zhongqi went up to a nearby hillside, there were many big trees on it, and a few people led the people to start cutting down trees.

Zhang Zhongqi found a stone himself, the terrain here was slightly higher, and he could clearly see the battle two hundred steps away, and the shallow trench would soon be filled in with a group of new coats pushing earth and stones to the city.

Zhang Zhongqi is also a veteran, but he has never actually killed a person with his own hands, every time he fights with the Ming army, the Ming army can only resist for a moment, once those family members die, the others are scattered in a hurry, and then the Houjin soldiers effortlessly killed from behind, which is easier than killing chickens and ducks. But even so, Zhang Zhongqi has never killed anyone, he is also a little afraid of killing, so he has always been bent on trying to find a way to hide more silver and jewelry, plus Niu Lu really takes care of him, he often gets a lot more than others.

Since entering the customs this time, he followed the East Route Army to ransack Baoanzhou, after this year, the Jin Army was so poor that it clanged, and it was red-eyed near Baoanzhou. It was guarded by the people of the Zhenglan Banner in Tumut and transported back to Liaodong in batches.

Then went south from Baoanzhou, swept all the way to Lingqiu, Zhang Zhongqi robbed a lot of silver taels and jewelry, as well as two coats, he left one person to watch things in the camp in Lingqiu, and took one person to follow to Guangchang, and now it has become two coats, driving a donkey cart. In addition, a small cart is pushed, and wood is cut here at this time.

"It's been a better year." Zhang Zhongqi smiled, looking at the bamboo silk mouth flying in the distance, there were a lot of coatings under the city, but there were no two of Zhang Zhongqi. He doesn't feel heartache no matter how much he dies.

Calculating the time, they are almost time to return, listen to Niu Lu Zhen's sù him, go back to Lingqiu after leaving the bamboo silk mouth, and then go to Datong to meet the army, it is estimated that it is time to go out of the customs.

Zhang Zhongqi took out three cigarettes and handed them to the two fellow village soldiers. A few people gathered in a pile to watch the bustle on the other side of the city wall. The current Zhang Zhongqi is also familiar with the Zhenyi in Niu Lu, most of their Niu Lu was killed and injured in the year of Jisi, and later added some, many of these people are actually not real Jianzhou Jurchens. There are many people from Haixi, Yehe, Ningguta and other places, and the quality is similar to Zhang Zhongqi's coat and banner, among which Yehe is the most difficult to assimilate, and they generally speak Mongolian. He had a deep hatred with the Jianzhou Jurchens, and it took many years for Cai Ji to identify with Hou Jin's identity. And some of the Jurchen status is not as good as Zhang Zhongqi, these people do not understand the language, they are quite discriminated against in Niulu, usually as dead soldiers in front of the cannon fodder, to get the real Zhenyi status, unless they are really brave, and can survive the desperate hard battle in front.

The city wall of Zhubokou is only more than two zhang, and the armor soldiers who are in charge of the battle do not wait for the attack on the door and the long ladder, and directly drive those people to push the earth to the city, and the earthen fortress is getting higher and higher. A group of people under the city were covered with shields to cover the archers behind. There are more and more Houjin archers covering behind, these hunters with superb archery skills quickly suppressed the Ming army in the low city, as long as the earth fortress is built high, you can climb the city, once you enter the hand-to-hand combat, it is the end of the Ming army, except for Dengzhou Town, Zhang Zhongqi has not seen that Ming army can continue to fight with the Houjin soldiers.

The people in the city threw stones and arrows under the leadership of Zhang Xiushen, and also killed and injured many people who were forced to attack the city, and all the people who were injured and fell to the ground, whether they were dead or alive, were thrown under the city, and became filling materials, and the soil and stones were easy to take.

At the head of the city, there was a general of the Ming army in a red cloak, wielding a big sword to supervise the battle everywhere, and the cold man who was walking around came out to shoot an arrow, and he himself had already suffered two arrows.

Zhang Zhongqi looked at the Ming army general who was fighting everywhere, and he didn't think he was brave, nor did he feel hateful, he just felt that this person could still fight, as for why those Ming troops were fighting, Zhang Zhongqi never wanted to think about it.

At this time, those people cut down the big trees, and some people came up below, carrying those rough trees down the mountain, Zhang Zhongqi saw a sentry horse crossing the road in front of the mountain, and quickly ran to the banner of Mang Gurtai, Zhang Zhongqi did not care, slowly followed them, walked to the foot of the mountain and stopped, where the rear team of oxen and carriages was parked.

Zhang Zhongqi beckoned a few coats, began to make zuò hit the door hammer, at this time he looked at the city head, the earth bag stone has approached the city, several anxious armor soldiers rushed to the top of the earthen fortress, and was stabbed down one by one by the Ming general led the family with a spear, a Bayala ran out of the Mang Gurtai flag, and shouted out half of the world's position under the city, Zhang Zhongqi was not a little surprised, and actually gave half of the world's position for such a small pass.

This world position is what Hou Jin usually calls the future, a total of 14 grades, the lowest is the preparation, the preparation of the royal corresponds to the eight banners, that is, the Niu Lu is true, the future is based on the preparation of the royal unit, the more the number of the higher the level, such as two preparation of the imperial post can be called the general, the general is divided into three classes, called the first class to the third class of Jiala Zhangjing, this world position is not necessarily to lead the actual position of the soldiers, can be the title of ordinary generals, and the military rank system of later generations has a slight similarity.

Ordinary armor soldiers, it is difficult to have such an opportunity, this order came out, more than a dozen brave Houjin armor soldiers along the slope of the city wall struggled to climb, the people below were forced, the earth fortress was piled higher and higher, and finally there were armor soldiers jumped on the wall battlement, Zhang Zhongqi looked at the small Guancheng intently, the city head shouted like thunder, and there were constantly Houjin soldiers were knocked over or pushed down the city wall. During the period, accompanied by the roar of the Ming army generals.

After the golden armor soldiers and ants attached themselves, Zhang Zhongqi shook his head, as long as the follow-up armor soldiers rushed up, the Ming general would definitely die.

"Kill slaves!" "Kill slaves!" The general's voice kept roaring, and slowly began to have the voices of some other soldiers, and after more than twenty years, the golden soldiers landed in the city, and were driven down again, or died on it.

The first wave of the offensive was repulsed, and the bloody head of the Ming army general stretched out, spat a mouthful of blood-red phlegm at the city, and then threw the head of a Houjin soldier.

A batch of heavy arrows were shot under the city, and the general laughed, and hid in the battlements again, only the voice was still scolding, "Dog Tartar, Lao Tzu eats the imperial grain, killed three Jiannu today, worthy of the imperial grain......"

The angry scolding of Mang Gurtai under the city came from afar, and then the second wave of armor soldiers began to enter the city, and the echoing shouts of the Ming army at the head of the city were higher than a while, and the battle situation became more and more intense, Zhang Zhongqi's mouth opened wider and wider, and this group of Ming troops was surprisingly tenacious.

The people around are paying attention to the fierce attack and defense, everyone can't take their eyes off it, including those newly captured coats, Zhang Zhongqi's eyes turned around, and soon found the target, quickly leaned next to the donkey cart of another soldier, stretched out his hand and pulled out a burden from the top of the board, no one around noticed, Zhang Zhongqi pretended to look for an angle to see the siege, and soon went around to the outside, touched the bag for a while, touched some jewelry and silver, he quietly carried it into his arms, and then kneaded the burden skin into a ball and pressed it under a piece of wood.

After doing this, Zhang Zhongqi breathed a sigh of relief, this kind of theft will be severely punished, and a Han man who carries a flag like him may be beheaded. But he always thinks about the few children in the family, wants to loot more things, so that they can get more food, and still takes risks again and again.

When you looked around, there was still a fierce battle on the bamboo silk pass, and the banner of Mang Gurtai shook again and again, but Zhang Zhongqi found that he was not transferring troops to the city wall, but transferring a group of white armor backwards, and then some armor soldiers began to drive the nearby Ming people to the mountains on both sides, while overturning some manpower vehicles and building some obstacles.

"What is this for?" Zhang Zhongqi looked at those armor soldiers in surprise.

Soon Zhang Zhongqi knew the answer, and his great benefactor and top boss Niu Lu Ezhen came over, and Niu Lu Ezhen asked Zhang Zhongqi anxiously: "Have you done anything to hit the door?" ”

"Alright, alright." Zhang Zhongqi hurriedly led him over, a rough door car had been made, and the wheels were dismantled from several carriages.

"Hurry up and drag it to the front, three Baylors will use it." Niu Lu's forehead is really full of sweat.

Zhang Zhongqi immediately summoned a group of people and Baoyi, urging them to push the cart to the city gate. When these people walked away, he asked Niu Lu Ezhen: "Master, I see that the soil bags have arrived at the head of the city, why do you have to bang on the door, anyway, it is a matter of time before the city is broken, so why rush." ”

"You know a." Niu Lu Ezhen looked around and lowered his voice, "There is a Ming army catching up behind, fortunately, Tobo Hui just sent someone to contact Abatai, and they met in the middle of the road, and now they have already done it with Tobo Hui, if you don't break through the bamboo silk mouth quickly, let's ......"

Zhang Zhongqi said with a smile: "What are the Ming troops afraid of, in this narrow place, ten white armors can shoot thousands of them......

"What Ming army, it's Dengzhou Town!"

"Mother, Dengzhou!" Zhang Zhongqi's whole body was excited, and he couldn't help but exclaim, and Niu Lu really hurriedly interrupted him, "Don't say it, let those people rush to the city gate, this Nikan who closes the city on a dog day is also very hateful, and it is rare to meet it when he travels all over Xuanda, but he met it here." ”

Before Niu Lu's true words fell, a cannon sound came from afar in the south, and the muffled thunderous sound echoed in the cliffs and canyons, turning into bursts of echoes.

The crowd in the canyon turned their heads to watch, Zhang Zhongqi left drops of sweat on his forehead, his hands trembled slightly, and then there was another cannon shot, and the crowd began to be a little commotion, and a group of armored soldiers entered the crowd to suppress those who were a little commotion.

Zhang Zhongqi wiped the sweat on his forehead, peeked again, and the people around him were at a loss to turn their heads to the south to look, Zhang Zhongqi casually touched a small wooden jewelry box from the carriage next to him, and quietly stuffed it into his arms.

ps: Note: Zhang Xiushen, Cigou battalion garrison, Chongzhen seven years after Jin entered Kou Xuanda, in a wind and collapse, Zhang Xiushen stationed at Zhubokou, unyielding and died.
