"Hehe, don't you remember? From the very beginning, we didn't have many troops in Ningxia Nanguan, and the thieves always thought that the main direction of our army's attack was Beiguan instead of Nanguan, and the main forces were not there."

After speaking, Li Rusong didn't care where the generals were still stunned, called Monk Greenqin and asked him to change into his armor and pretend to be himself to continue to beat drums and cheer in Beiguan. And he himself took 10,000 infantry and quickly rushed to Nanguan, and at the same time sent a sentry cavalry to order Li Rubai and Han Bianwai to lead the main force of 5,000 Liaodong iron cavalry to Beiguan to block the fleeing enemy.

The actions of the Ming army were perfect, at this time the rebels and the Ming army in Beiguan had been completely killed, and a large number of rebel reinforcements were mobilized to Beiguan for reinforcements. In contrast, Bibai never thought that Li Rusong would do the opposite and attack Nanguan.

"Brothers! Kill Lao Tzu! Kill all the eagle dogs of the court, gold and silver treasures, beauties, and alcohol, everyone can enjoy them! "Bibai personally supervised the battle in the rear with a thousand family members, and while desperately ordering the soldiers to charge, he was shouting loudly.

At the same time, the 3,000 family members under Bibai's command were divided into three divisions by Bibai, one to supervise the battle, one to be on standby as a mobile force, and one to join the war group under the leadership of his son Bi Chengen.

These 3,000 families are elite troops built by Bibai for many years, and most of them are outlaws in Mongolia and Ningxia Huihui. All of them are fierce and fierce. All of them are deadly guys, and they are very capable of fighting alone, and with the addition of these people. The position of the Ming army in Beiguan was suddenly crumbling, and it was about to be lost and driven down the city by the army of Bibai.

"Get out of the way of Lao Tzu!" At this moment, suddenly there was a roar from the Ming army, a tall general, with a beard, a purple face, and a wide mouth and lion's nose, wearing heavy armor and carrying a mace. took the lead in meeting the rebel family led by Bi Chengen and killed them.

Behind this general. Closely followed by more than fifty of his personal guards, all dressed in heavy armor, fiercely following the generals like a pack of hungry wolves.

"Kill!" I saw this general roar, brandishing his mace and smashing it down. There is simply no room to hide in the narrow corridors of the city walls. Directly smashed three or four rebel soldiers to the ground. All of them were covered in blood, and there was no breath in.

This person is Zu Chengxun, when Li Rusong led his troops to prepare for a sneak attack on Nanguan, in order to prevent the army in Beiguan. Because of the loss of Li Ruzhang and Gong Zijing, the two main generals were in chaos, and he specially ordered Zu Chengxun to be the main general to stabilize the army's heart.

Zu Chengxun, the word Weiji, the number Shuangquan, is the second son of Zu Ren, the chief military officer who guarded Ningyuan during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and the second son of Zu Ren, the governor of the left capital, and the father of Zu Dashou, a man of the year in the late Ming Dynasty, and the uncle of Zu Dale. The ancestral family guards the history of western Liaoning, and is the same age as the ancient city of Xingcheng. In the fifth year of Xuande (1430), when Ningyuan City was built, Zu Qing, an officer originally from Anhui, led his family to move here, multiplying from generation to generation, hereditary military positions and constantly improving, to Zu Chengxun is already the seventh generation, becoming Ningyuan Wang.

Zu Chengxun was born in a family of generals, and since he was a child, he often danced knives and guns, and liked military affairs. In order to hone Zu Chengxun's will, his father Zuren did not let him be arrogant, and when he became an adult, he recommended him to Li Chengliang, a famous general in Liaodong, and became an officer beside Li Chengliang. In the tenth year of Wanli (1582), Zu Chengxun, who was in his twenties, was exceptionally promoted to the rank of deputy chief soldier of Liaoyang and the governor of the left army, and assisted in the defense of Liaoyang with the position of Ning Yuanwei commanding Tongzhi (Ning Yuanwei's highest military commander), and became a young general who shocked Liaodong.

Zu Chengxun was young and promising, and when he became the deputy commander-in-chief, his son Zu Dashou was just three years old. In order to guard the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Zu Chengxun gave up his own safety, entrusted his son to his wife's care, and went to fight all over Liaodong alone. In February of the twelfth year of Wanli (1584), more than 300 elite cavalry of the Mongolian tribe attacked the Liaoxi corridor, Zu Chengxun received the report, immediately put on the battle, and ordered the soldiers of the army to divide into two routes, cut the invading Mongolian army into two sections to encircle and annihilate, killed more than 10 people in the melee, and the enemy fled in the desert.

Zu Chengxun was unruly, fierce and good at fighting, and at the same time rude and greedy for money, and was a typical representative of the military in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. He usually has eyes above the top, he is the eldest of the sky, the second in the earth, and the third of his bastards, but he respects Li Chengliang and Li Rusong father and son.

Li Rusong gave an order, and Zu Chengxun immediately led his elite heavy armor family members to rush forward: these family members are only fifty people in total, each of them is a carefully selected strong man, wearing a whole body of heavy armor made of pure metal and the arrows are difficult to hurt, and the mace in his hand is also completely made of metal, and the fifty people gathered together is an unstoppable heavy tank.

Due to the narrow terrain on the road of the city wall, the rebels could only concentrate four or five soldiers at a time to charge head-on, their swords slashing at Zu Chengxun and his subordinates, and the sparks flew everywhere but there was not even a trace left.

"Haha, the thief is killed!" Zu Chengxun smiled, directly raised the mace is stick, smashed the head of the rebel soldier in front of him who was stunned and looked at him, and continued to move forward with a wild laugh.

The place where Zu Chengxun and his subordinates passed was simply a road paved with blood and minced meat, and although there were still eight or nine hundred rebel soldiers, they had been completely frightened by a ruthless person like Zu Chengxun.

"These guys are the devil! Run" The trembling rebel family Ding was forced by Bi Chengen, holding a sword and barely raising the courage to rush forward, and before he could meet Zu Chengxun, Lao Yuan saw the latter knock seven or eight rebel soldiers away, so he screamed that his legs were weak and he dropped his weapons and turned his head and ran.

Under the leadership of Zu Chengxun, the morale of the Ming army was restored, and they fought desperately one by one, while the rebels were frightened by Zu Chengxun's fierceness, and they retreated one by one without fighting spirit.

The gunpowder on Bibai's side had been exhausted, and there was no way to use firecrackers and other materials to meet Zu Chengxun, so he had no choice but to transfer the last mobile force to Beiguan, desperately blocking Zu Chengxun's advance.

"Oh? This ancestor Chengxun seems to be underestimating him, he is a brave general, and he can get the dangerous mountain in the future and hand it over to Senior Brother He for education and transformation, he must be a general who is in charge alone! Li Rusong, who was rushing to Nanguan, was overjoyed when he heard the report from his subordinates.

For Li Rusong, the biggest obstacle to attacking Nanguan was the 3,000 family members under the command of Bibai, all of whom were eagle dogs raised by Bibai, fierce and fierce, and all cavalry came and went like the wind. If Bibai sends this group of people to reinforce when he attacks Nanguan, then maybe as soon as he climbs the top of the city, these guys will arrive, causing a great obstacle to his capture of Nanguan.

Now that Zu Chengxun has contained two-thirds of the Bibai family, then his attack on Nanguan will definitely be much smoother.

"Hey, hey, don't miss it!" Smiling slightly, Li Rusong took advantage of Bibai to concentrate the main force of the rebels in Beiguan and prepare to fight to the death with the Ming army, and ordered Ma Guiwei to lead the 10,000 elite soldiers under his command to launch a fierce attack.

"Kill!" Ma Gui was also born in Jiangmen, and when he heard Li Rusong's order, he immediately pulled out his war knife and took the lead in carrying the cloud ladder towards Nanguan.

Like a signal, the 10,000 Ming soldiers rushed towards Nanguan with blood-red eyes and roared, and in the blank and ignorant eyes of hundreds of rebel soldiers on the city wall, dozens of cloud ladders were erected on the city wall.

"Follow Lao Tzu!" dragged a soldier to hold the ladder, Ma Gui was about to take the lead in climbing the ladder and rushing up, when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him, and then a figure quickly overtook Ma Gui, and the first to climb the ladder and rush to the city wall - it was Li Rusong.

"He is worthy of being the king of Yama in the dangerous mountains of Liaodong!" With a flicker of eyes, Ma Gui looked at Li Rusong's figure dumbfounded, and muttered to himself.

"Brothers! The general took the lead in rushing, what are we waiting for to kill with me! Immediately, Ma Gui came back to his senses, brandished his war knife and roared, while following Li Rusong's footsteps and rushing up the city wall.

"Die!" Li Rusong quickly climbed up to the top of the city along the ladder, directly cut down a rebel soldier who was still in a daze in front of him, and rushed to the rebel soldiers who were standing there stupidly around him with a cruel smile.

Ma Gui behind him was much calmer, and after he climbed up, he commanded the soldiers to protect the ladder, so that the Ming soldiers behind him kept pouring up.

Under the encouragement of the two generals, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and they rushed to the city one by one, annihilating hundreds of rebels in an instant, and Nanguan had fallen into the hands of the Ming army in less than a stick of incense.

"Hey, hey, I think you have what else you can do?" (To be continued......)
