Zhu Youxiao ordered his subordinate Lu Xiangsheng to personally carry the heads of Ma Quanrong and Zhou Chenghu to the pass of Xifengkou.

"Listen from the people below, now that you two generals are intent on rebellion, and now they have been killed by Your Majesty, you quickly open the door and surrender."

"Our Majesty promises that only personal responsibility will be held accountable, and your family will never be affected, if you are obsessed, when our army captures this Xifeng Pass, it will be too late for you to regret it, and your family will also be affected."

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng said this, there was a commotion on the wall.

The rest of the generals were all gathered, but they were afraid that they would be held accountable, after all, their foundation was indeed not very clean.

This large group of leaders discussed for a long time, but they didn't see who could come up with a suitable idea.

Of course, there are also some generals who propose that if Kaecheng surrenders under the current situation, they are afraid that they will die, and according to this view, it is better to resist to the end.

There are also some generals who have more than 30,000 His Majesty's troops outside the city, and they only have two or three thousand men, and if they want to resist to the end, they are doomed to a dead end.

Anyway, now everyone is so greedy, just sacrifice this Xifengkou and go directly to Jiannu.

And this situation is not easy to handle, even if they want to sacrifice the pass, then His Majesty will only give him half a day, and they can't get in touch if they want to contact Jiannu.

But Zhu Youxiao gave them only half a day, and after half a day, they couldn't open the door.

Zhu Youxiao didn't think about it so much with them, after all, he didn't want to waste any more time.

He ordered Sun Yuanhua to directly transfer three cannons and push them to the front of Xifengkou.

The defenders above the Xifeng Pass also panicked on the spot when they saw three cannons pushed under the city.

In fact, not only the soldiers of Guan felt very panicked, but also the new troops under his subordinates felt very confused.

They didn't expect that after all the hardships and hardships to come to the frontier, the soldiers of Jiannu did not see it, but they wanted to attack their own wall first.

Three cannons were plugged, new shells, and then they were stuffed with propellants, and as the bolts were closed, the three shells were fired directly from the line closed.

Two of them were placed directly on the top of the city, and one of them hit the wall.

Originally, the soldiers above the Xifeng Pass saw nothing more than three cannons.

They hadn't seen it before, and when they saw that the artillery had been fired, they were all behind the walls, which was a way to defend against solid shells.

Who would have thought that those two shells hit directly, the city tower, they had never seen such powerful shells, flying bricks, only the shock wave of the explosion itself, and fragments, and more than a hundred people were killed by two shells directly.

The others always saw this way, as if they had seen the thunder descend from the sky.

They were full of tremors, and was such a thing really artillery?

Is this the weapon of the soldiers of the Forces nouvelles? If such artillery hits the wall, how many shells can they withstand?

I'm afraid that if I hit another ten shots, their floor will be blown up.

The generals shouted: "Open the gates of the city, we will surrender to Your Majesty!" ”

But by this time, it was too late for them to want to surrender.

One of the shells was directly aimed at the city gate, even if it looked like a very strong city gate, how could it withstand the shells made of nitrate.

The hole in the city gate was directly blown open, and the cavalry that Cao Wenzhao had already prepared killed directly from the top of the wall, and killed anyone he saw.

The remaining guards of Xifengkou couldn't hold back any longer, and they knelt down and surrendered one after another.

By the time Zhu Youxiao entered Xifengkou, all the defenders had already laid down their weapons and surrendered.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the 3,000 defenders, and there were only more than 2,000 left, but there was no pity in his eyes.

He is the emperor, the sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers are all his, and he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Although this is more than 2,000 lives, these behaviors of Xifengkou today are definitely not allowed.

Otherwise, if these people close the city gate today and resist Zhu Youxiao's personal arrival, they can still be left alive, then this situation will appear more and more in the future.

Wang Yangming once said that it is easy to break the mountain and the thief is difficult to break the heart.

If Zhu Youxiao didn't kill more than 2,000 people, he would be conniving at the thief in their heart, and it would be difficult to get rid of the thief in his heart.

All Zhu Youxiao gave an order, and more than 2,000 soldiers were all killed.

Even their families will be exiled to the ends of the earth, their land and property will be deprived, and their land and property will be set aside as the capital of Zhu Youxiao's army expansion in the future.

Zhu Youxiao ordered the army to rebuild Xifengkou, and also left 3,000 elite troops to guard Xifengkou.

Sun Yunhe, the criminal officer of Dongchang, personally led troops to guard Xifengkou.

At this time, it is more reliable to be your own people.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also specially left four golden guns of the Emperor of the Apocalypse on the top of the city tower.

The power of these cannons is more powerful than ordinary artillery, and I don't know how high.

The soldiers of the new army set these guns at a high place, and the range must be even longer, and it is not a problem to fight four or five miles at all.

After Zhu Youxiao took Xifengkou, after only two days of rest, the army left Xifengkou and marched towards the depths of the grassland, and soon reached the territory of the Chahar Department.

The Chahar Department, which had already been informed, hurriedly sent someone to contact Zhu Youxiao.

The messenger was brought to Zhu Youxiao.

He saluted Zhu Youxiao and shouted: "Turmu welcomes the arrival of the Ming Emperor on behalf of my Great Khan, this time our two armies will unite and will definitely be able to defeat the army of Jiannu." ”

"In order to show our gratitude to Your Majesty, our Great Khan specially asked us to bring 10,000 sheep as food and grass for Your Majesty's army, and please don't dislike Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao was not polite, greeted Lin Danhan twice to the envoy, and waved him away.

This is in line with Lin Dan Khan's army, and naturally the following generals are connected with the envoys.

Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, could never be an equal to him and personally discuss cooperation with him.

Three days later, the army of Jiannu had arrived, and the three sides had become horns, and a great battle was about to break out.

The next day, Huang Taiji had already written a letter of invitation to Zhu Youxiao, inviting the three armies to meet two days later.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at this invitation to fight, and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, the confidence in Jiannu is really great, and he actually took the initiative to invite us to fight, should we dry them?" ”
