Ma Ke personally led the team out of the city, kneeling under the gate with a respectful attitude, to welcome the Ming army into the city.

When Gao Di saw Ma Ke, he laughed, walked over and helped him up, and stepped forward to pat Ma Ke on the shoulder, as if he was a friend of life and death.

"In this way, you and I can fight side by side again and serve the court." Gaudi laughed.

Ma Ke almost cried when he heard this, thanked him again and again, and bowed down to Gao and Ni, but was stopped by the two.

"Tomorrow, when the decree is read, it is not too late to say goodbye!" Gaudi said, taking Marco's hand and heading straight into the city.

The 60,000 troops behind him entered the city in turn, and were quickly assigned tasks, together with the defenders of Guannai, along the Great Wall of Juyong Pass, forming an iron barrel-like defense.

Ma Ke saw that there were so many soldiers in the pass, and his heart was relieved.

Immediately set down the banquet and feast the distinguished guests.

The three of them pushed the cups and changed the lamps, complimented each other, congratulated each other, and talked happily.

not only recalled the battle of Songjin two years ago, but also chatted about the situation today.

Full of wine and food, and satisfied, Marco returned to his room and fell asleep.

Two hours later, Ma Ke was woken up by the servants, put on his dress, and swaggered to the lobby of the government office, ready to receive the decree.

A group of generals and generals had already received the news, and came to the lobby two quarters of an hour in advance, and when they saw Ma Ke present, they saluted and congratulated one after another.

There was a long time of pleasantries.

In the middle of the night, everyone waited left and right, but they didn't see Gao Di, Ni Yuanlu and the eunuch who passed the decree to come to announce the decree, thinking that they were in a hurry overnight, and they drank wine again last night, overslept, and hurriedly sent someone to invite.

I don't want the two of them to go to the city before dawn, deploy defensive matters, and reply for a while.

"I don't want Mr. Gao and Master Ni to be so dedicated and climb the city wall so early, it's really a model for us." Someone praised it.

When they heard this, they praised it one after another.

"Mr. Gao was a famous general at that time!"

"Lord Ni is really the mainstay of my Ming Dynasty!"

For a time, the lobby of the government office became a meeting of Gao Di and Ni Yuanlu to sing praises and virtues.

Everyone waited less than a stick of incense in the praise of Hengsheng, and there were really no new words, and their hearts became anxious.

Whew......

Suddenly, the crowd heard hurried footsteps, and knew that the messenger was coming, and they all tidied up their clothes and looked forward to it.

After a few breaths, more than 100 soldiers rushed into the hall with muskets and bows and arrows, aiming at everyone.

Ma Ke was shocked, cold sweat flowed, and shouted loudly: "General Gao, where are you, what's going on?" ”

Gaudi dodged out of the crowd, stared at Marco, and shouted, "Release! ”

Whoosh ......

Bang bang bang......

The two weapons, hot and cold, were fired at the same time, and the officers were smashed.

Marco immediately lay on the ground and narrowly escaped the first round of shooting.

Seeing the blood gathering all over the ground into a stream, he unconsciously trembled, writhed for a long time before standing up slightly, and accidentally fell to the ground again.

Trembling, he said, "Gao...... Lord Gao, didn't you say that the emperor spared...... I...... Is it so? ”

"I'm pretending to be a holy decree, can I do it?" Gaudi laughed.

"You...... How dare you falsely proclaim the Divine Decree...... You shouldn't ...... Fake ......" Marco was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly.

Ni Yuanlu laughed, "Who said that the old Gao Ge faked the holy decree, he outwitted Juyong Pass last night and killed the rebel general Ma Ke, all the soldiers present participated, and when I showed the saint, I will be rewarded for meritorious deeds in a few days!" ”

"Lord Xie Ni's kind words!" The soldiers shouted.

When Gao Di heard this, he laughed, picked up a rifle, aimed at Mako, and said sharply:

"Ma Ke, tell me where your belongings are, and I'll give you a good time, otherwise, I will definitely send you to Jingshi Lingchi!"

When Ma Ke heard the word Ling Chi, he was all down with feces and urine, "Chengnan Mao...... Thatched huts, ground ...... Three feet down...... Treasury ...... Cellar ......"

He seemed to be stupid, and he had stammered.

Boom......

When he stopped talking, Gaudi pulled the trigger.

……

After breakfast, Nikan's army drove 40,000 Han troops to surrender and rushed to Juyong Pass.

The number of soldiers defending the city increased dramatically, and all of them were extremely confident, clenched their bows and arrows, picked up stones, and began to attack.

Nikan attacked for 1 hour and gradually realized that something was wrong.

The general Ma Laxi rushed back from the front line, "Lord Wang, the defenders at the head of the city seem to have increased tenfold, and we can't attack it!" ”

Nikan looked at the head of the city, carefully counted the heads of people between the battlements, and pouted, "Indeed, there must be reinforcements from Kanto. ”

"How about I?"

"Hmph, if there are many people, if it is useful, it is impossible for me to enter the customs again and again! Ordered all the Han troops to go to the front line and storm on all fronts! ”

Jianlu sent more overseers, and 40,000 Han troops poured up the city wall together, and from the top of the city, it was densely packed with people.

The pressure to defend the city suddenly increased.

Gao Di stood on the city tower and looked down, and said to Ni Yuanlu: "This Jianyu really doesn't treat the Han people as people, such a way of fighting, more than 10,000 people will die in one day." ”

"Hmph, it's not his own people, what if he dies, the Han people are killing each other, and it's tight to build a happy one." Ni Yuanlu sighed.

……

When King Ding returned to Beijing, he was hung on the city wall with a bamboo basket and rushed to the palace without stopping.

didn't want Chongzhen to be allowed to open the door, so he was ordered to kneel in front of the door until dawn. It wasn't until the early dynasty dispersed that a small eunuch came to the palace gate to summon him.

King Ding, ignoring his sore legs, limped to the Yingwu Palace.

When Tian Shouxin saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to help, but was thrown away by King Ding's hand and knelt at the door of the palace by himself.

Zhu Youjian just asked people to send them to the futon, took care of their own review and review, and waited for the sun to hang high before summoning the king to see him.

"The son knocks on his father."

Zhu Youjian didn't raise his head, "You are guilty!" ”

"The sons and daughters work for the people, and they are not guilty of transferring troops for the country!"

"It's a hard mouth! Do you know that because you have privately transferred troops, the generals have already been beheaded! You are lawless, arrogant and rude, and you are not afraid that I will go to your king? Zhu Youjian scolded.

"Erchen is dedicated to the country and has a clear conscience!" King Ding looked stubborn.

"It's a good one for the country. It's lawless! Come on, pull Zhu Cijiong out and beat ten rods! Zhu Youjian shouted.

Tian Shouxin hurriedly knelt down: "Long live, no, how can you be punished by this punishment." King Ding must have no selfish intentions, it must be for the sake of the Ming Dynasty! ”

King Ding squinted his eyes and said in his heart: "Okay, you are trustworthy, and you actually said in front of me that this king is for the Ming Dynasty!" See how I fix you in the future! ”

Zhu Youjian glanced at Tian Shouxin coldly and said, "No, I will not be spared!" Quickly go to the cane, and then send Zhu Cijiong back to the palace to think about it! ”

Soon, King Ding, who was not convinced, was pressed on the bench outside the hall.

How dare the eunuchs really fight, they fooled ten times casually, half invited and half charged, and sent King Ding back to the palace.

……

On the west side of Juyong Pass, Jianyu continued to storm for a whole day, but there has been no major progress, only in the evening, a few soldiers climbed to the top of the city, but were shot down by the Ming army's mines.

Subsequently, dozens of explosive mines exploded under the city at the same time, and the besieging Han soldiers were frightened to retreat.

Nikan saw that it was getting late, and the army's spirit was unstable, so he had to withdraw his troops.

The sun had just set, and there was still some afterglow in the western sky, and a team of elite horsemen galloped from the southeast to the front of Juyong Pass.

As soon as one of them finished making a report, he heard a scream from the gatekeeper and left in a rush of footsteps.

After a while, the door was wide open, and two teams of freshly dressed and bright-armored soldiers rushed out, lined up left and right, Gao Di and Ni Yuanlu hurriedly, rushed out of the gate, and bowed to the visitors!
