"You don't have to do this in the army, get up." Zhu Youjian said loudly.

"Your Majesty, how can you come to the front line to adventure! Please the emperor, return to the palace quickly! Ni Yuanlu didn't get up and said eagerly.

Gao Di was just about to get up, when he saw Ni Yuanlu kneeling and talking, the knee that had just been raised slightly fell down again, with a look of disgust, and said in his heart:

"Today's saints are extremely heroic, what's wrong with coming to the front line. There are nearly 70,000 soldiers in the pass, what danger can there be. You literati, you don't have much ability, but you have a lot of. ”

"Don't kneel, get up, it's useless to talk about it. , with me into the customs is. I'll tell you about the situation later. Zhu Youjian stepped forward and left Ni Yuanlu and Gao Di behind.

Seeing Chongzhen go straight into the customs, the two looked at each other, quickly got up and followed quickly, and went to the main hall of the government office together.

Zhu Youjian sat down, Gao Di hurriedly unfolded the map, spread it on the table, and described the situation last night and today, and pointed out the location of Nikan's camp to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen couldn't help nodding, "Aiqing did a good job!" That one...... How many taels of silver were found in the city? ”

Ni Yuanlu knew that Chongzhen was scared, and immediately said: "In the treasury, there are 5,000 taels of silver left by the thieves on the surface, and more than 3,000 taels are hidden in the cellar of the treasury; Under the thatched hut, after the soldiers rummaged, they found 50,000 taels of silver hidden by Mako. ”

"Ma Ke is so generous, a total soldier, there are 50,000 taels of silver!" Zhu Youjian sighed, then turned his head and smiled: "Gao Di, how much silver do you have hidden in your house?" ”

When Gao first heard this, he hurriedly said: "How can the minister have a private collection of silver, and there are only 1,000 taels of silver at home." ”

Zhu Youjian smiled, noncommittal, and looked at Ni Yuanlu again.

Ni Yuanlu's expression was obviously suffocated, and just as he was about to speak, Zhu Youjian said: "A few thousand taels of silver is enough, too much, it affects feng shui, and it is easy to lose one's life." ”

"The emperor taught you a lesson." Gao Di's attitude was extremely respectful, but he also hurriedly changed the topic, "I don't know what to do with the 58,000 taels of silver in the city?" ”

Zhu Youjian got up, paced to the gate of the main hall, smelled the slight smell of blood, and sighed slightly:

"For many years, the imperial court had no silver, and civil officials and petty officials could not receive salaries, and military officers and soldiers could not get military salaries. But some people were able to hide fifty thousand taels of silver.

Where did it come from? It's not that it's greedy, it's the suffering of the grassroots in the end! Zhu Youjian looked at Gao Di and continued:

"Don't transport this money back to Beijing, tonight I will send a soldier to use scissors and cut it into the size of five coins, first give a copy to the city sergeant, and move the rest to the city, tomorrow I will have a wonderful use."

Gaudi retorted in his heart and led the order to hurry away.

Zhu Youjian continued: "Ni Qing, come over with your ears." ”

Ni Yuanlu hurriedly stepped forward and listened to Chongzhen's plan.

After listening to half of this, Ni Yuanlu looked disillusioned, and was about to open his mouth to refute, but Zhu Youjian quickly stopped him, so he had to continue listening patiently.

Until he finished listening, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and after a while, he solemnly kowtowed and left in a hurry.

Soon, 20,000 men of the city quietly went north and disappeared into the night.

The sky is dark, there is silence inside and outside Juyong Pass, only Xia Worm is not willing to be lonely. Zhu Youjian climbed the city tower, looked at the west side, and looked at the mountains by the moonlight.

Talking to himself:

"Azig must have been carried away by a series of victories, and actually dared to send 10,000 Zhenlu with 40,000 troops to attack the fortifications, which are surrounded by mountains on three sides and the terrain is dangerous, where can these tens of thousands of stragglers be able to conquer."

"If I defeat the Jianyu in front of the pass and cut off the back road of the Jianyu, can the Azig, who fought in the bloody battle in Tongguan, sweep through the northwest as in history?"

The evening breeze blew and felt a little cool, Tian Shouxin hurriedly brought Zhu Youjian a cloak.

Zhu Youjian took it, unfolded it, draped it on his shoulders, and stood at the head of the city for a long time staring into the distance, not knowing whether he was looking at the scenery or contemplating.

Early morning.

Before the sun could rise, Nikan beat the drums of war, and tens of thousands of troops rushed to the city again.

The Ming army reacted quickly and immediately climbed the city walls. Juyong Pass does not occupy a large area, and the existing 50,000 people in the pass are divided into two teams to relay and defend.

Jianyu did not have any tentative attack, and it was a general attack when it came up.

For a while, the horses neighed and roared, resounding through the mountains, and the battle was directly white-hot.

Before the sun could fully rise, the dark red blood clots left under the city yesterday were covered in bright red bloodstreams.

The new corpses are covered layer by layer, and there is almost no dirt to be seen under the gate, and there are stumps and broken arms everywhere, flowing intestines and brains, a hell scene on earth.

Zhu Youjian was also used to seeing the tragic situation of fighting, his eyes were full of indifference, he waved casually, and the heralds around him began to wave the flag.

The flintlock pistol team of the Fire Dragon Army rushed to the front line, divided into three columns, leaned against the battlements, and released their guns towards the city in turn.

After more than a month of training, their rate of fire and accuracy are basically qualified, and now they are participating in the battle for the first time, although their fingers tremble slightly, but they are full of lethality.

Hundreds of elite rifle soldiers, holding the best firearms in the world today, each found a shooting point, as if they had become snipers in the Ming army, specializing in killing enemy generals.

At this moment, in the crowd under the city, the mighty general became a life-seeking suit. Whether it is the commander of the front line or the overseers from afar, they are killed from time to time.

Because of the dispersion of the official positions, although they were killed one after another, they did not arouse anyone's alarm in a short period of time.

Only the people around him found out that their boss was dead, and they just thought that the defenders had accidentally hit him, and they did not suspect him.

The grenade team cherished and cherished one big killing weapon after another, wandering around and looking around.

Instead of throwing bombs at random, they looked for the places where the enemy troops were most concentrated, aiming and throwing them with all their might. Inflict as many casualties as possible on the enemy army at the lowest possible cost.

"My Fire Dragon Army is beginning to take shape!" Zhu Youjian looked at the battlefield and was very happy.

After fighting for an hour, the besieging Han army suffered heavy casualties, and sometimes some soldiers retreated in fear of death, but they were all killed by the Jianyu Governor team.

Gradually, the intensity of the attack weakened, and the number of routs under the city gradually increased.

Zhu Youjian saw that the time had come, and calmly beckoned not far away, and the herald quickly waved the order flag.

Immediately, hundreds of soldiers with large wooden megaphones shouted in unison at the city:

"Brothers under the city, we are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, don't send the Tartars to death!

Drop your weapons, climb up to the city, and return to the Ming Dynasty, you can save your life. We'll give you a quarter of an hour, climb quickly! ”

The voices of hundreds of soldiers were so loud that the soldiers in the city could hear them clearly, and most of them were suspicious and did not dare to act.

There are also some soldiers who are committed to the Ming Dynasty, although they were forced to attack the city, but they have not been able to work, and when they heard that they could climb the city wall for the Ming army again, they lost their weapons, took off their armor, and climbed the siege ladder lightly.

The defenders of the city really kept their promise, no longer firing arrows and guns, and in just a short time, hundreds of people climbed to the top of the city.

Nikan stood far away, he couldn't hear what the Ming army was saying, and he was not very proficient in Chinese, but he saw hundreds of soldiers ascending to the top of the city, shouting excitedly: "Quick, continue the attack, a great victory is imminent!" ”

When the soldiers ascended to the top of the city, they were immediately answered, and after registering their names, they stuffed five pieces of silver into his hand.

"Silver, silver! The court didn't kill us, but gave us silver! ”

The soldiers all smiled happily and rushed back to the city, shouting downwards and calling their acquaintances to the city.
