Listening to Song Xiance's divination, Li Zicheng's heart made waves.

Chongzhen only took more than 20 horsemen to level the Guogong Mansion, and the two thousand soldiers of the Mansion will add several masters of the rivers and lakes to help, and in the blink of an eye, the flag fell and the troops were scattered, and only the martial arts of the rivers and lakes could do it.

However, an emperor who is at the end of his rope, at the juncture of the survival of the dynasty, how did he network a group of people in the rivers and lakes to work hard for him?

There is only one possibility, Chongzhen usually privately raises a group of Jianghu martial arts cultivators in case of emergency, and now it comes in handy.

This cunning guy really has him, the experience is worth learning, and I, Li Zicheng, have to learn a little bit when I go back, and it is good to deal with people in the rivers and lakes.

I think I Li Zicheng started from a small soldier, then became a general, and later became the king of the commander of thousands of horses, and then the army was defeated and the whole army was wiped out, leaving only 17 horsemen to flee into the mountains.

Now he commanded thousands of horses and thousands of troops to capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but who knows what will happen in the future?

After all, life is unpredictable, who doesn't have a storm?

As long as these people like black and white impermanence are willing to drive for me Li Zicheng, they must not be treated badly!

However, no matter how high Song Xiance's ability is, no matter how deep Li Zicheng's understanding is, it is impossible for them to think that the current Chongzhen is a body of 10,000 years of cultivation, and they can only justify themselves in this way.

Niu Jinxing is good at observing words and feelings, and at this time he has already guessed Li Zicheng's heart, and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty King Chuang, Weichen is not talented, and he has also met some green forest heroes, if Your Majesty is interested, can you please ask a few Qin Wang?" ”

"That's very good." Li Zicheng is overjoyed, this bull Venus is really a malleable talent.

……

Liu Fangliang led an army of 30,000 to the outside of the Forbidden City and surrounded the small city in the city.

Including the coal mountain behind, a total of six city gates of all sizes were stationed outside the city gates, not to mention people, not even a bird could fly over.

But according to Ma Shiyao and black and white impermanence, it is directly an attack here, and what are you doing besieging the city?

Isn't that a waste of time?

During the Ming Dynasty, Beishangjing was divided into four layers from the outside to the inside, that is, four cities.

The outer city is in the southernmost part of Beishangjing, only less than half of it was built, because of the influence of financial resources, it was stopped, at most it was a half-city, and it did not enclose the other three cities, but it was a high city and a deep pool, and it was the southernmost barrier of the entire Beishangjing.

And then there is the inner city, which is not only large but also perfectly built compared to the outer city, with thick and high walls, wide and deep moats, and impregnable defenses.

If it weren't for the important city gates such as Chaoyang Gate, Desheng Gate, and Anding Gate, someone would open the door to welcome the group, and Li Zicheng's 200,000 army would definitely not be able to take it in a short period of time by relying on a hard attack.

This was followed by the Imperial City, which was the place where the civil and military yamen of the imperial court were concentrated. Compared to the outer and inner cities, the imperial city is relatively small, and there is no moat, only city walls.

But despite this, the outer and inner cities of the imperial city are much larger than the imperial palace.

The imperial palace, also known as the palace city, is the innermost small city, so small that it is only 1,000 acres of land in the imperial garden behind it, that is, the coal mountain, and it is the place where the emperor lives and works.

This small city has walls two feet high and also has a moat.

However, compared with the inner city of the outer city, there is no talk of the height of the city and the depth of the pool at all, only the red wall Ouchi shows his majesty.

It makes hundreds of officials fearful, not to mention ordinary people, ordinary people can't even enter the imperial city, it's a forbidden place.

According to Ma Shiyao and the plan of Black and White Impermanence, so many people and horses directly attacked the palace, won with more people, slashed and killed, and arrested the faint monarch Chongzhen. is still in this besieged city, could it be that he still plans to arrange troops and deploy troops, and he will not be able to besiege the city for a long time?

But Liu Fangliang is not a raw melon egg, he is the general person in charge of Li Zicheng's left battalion, and he pays attention to strategy and tactics in the use of troops. He is not as reckless as Ma Shiyao, and he is not like the two people in the rivers and lakes who are happy to fight and fight each other.

He pays attention to steady progress and is ready for everything. If you don't fight a battle that you don't know you can, it's the best choice if you can surrender without a fight.

Because the south of the palace is the main gate, Liu Fangliang gathered heavy troops here, and laid down 10,000 elite soldiers, and the remaining 20,000 elite soldiers were deployed on the remaining three sides, including the coal mountain behind.

Liu Fangliang took time to arrange the troops like this.

Then the next step was to discuss how to capture the palace.

Black and white impermanence looked too boring, and told Liu Fangliang to go back to the camp to sleep, when to start attacking the city and shouting to them.

Of course, Liu Fangliang agreed, after all, people are here to help, they do not belong to the Dashun army generals, and they do not have to be constrained by the discipline of the military camp, and the people in the rivers and lakes have to treat them according to the rules of the people in the rivers and lakes.

This delay came and went, and it came to the unitary hour of the afternoon, that is, the evening of March 19.

Liu Fangliang made all the preparations for the siege.

But in the past few hours, Chongzhen in the palace has not been idle.

After he and his ministers had breakfast, Chongzhen sent an edict to let Gong Yonggu, the concubine, and Wang Jiayan, the squire of the military department, rest the soldiers and horses.

The soldiers and generals in the city are all counted and there are now a thousand people, of course, not counting the eunuchs and palace maids in the city.

The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace ran a lot last night, but there were many who stuck to their posts.

After all, the emperor and Wang Chengen are back again, the masters are back, and the eunuchs and palace maids have the backbone, of course they will not leave.

At this time of change of dynasty, their lives are like mustard, where can they go? Now Chongzhen has also put them to use, that is, logistics support and services.

Of course, they will not be used in war.

Now Chongzhen has soldiers available. Whether it is the Jinyi Guard, the Beijing battalion soldiers who returned Wang Jiayan, or the generals of the Jiading Mansion of the Horse Mansion and the Guogong Mansion, they are all mixed together, either regular troops or young and strong people, this miscellaneous army is at least much stronger than the eunuch soldiers he temporarily organized last night.

In such a short time, he can gather a thousand people, Chongzhen is still quite satisfied with himself, and he will count on them in the next palace defense battle.
