The sound of the fire bolt was still like frying beans. The rain of bullets, coupled with the clouds of smoke from the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Franc Machine Cannon, soon turned the area around Zhengyangmen Urn City into a cloud of gunsmoke.

After the gunfire, there was a shout of killing!

Rows of untidy guards with white felt hats poured out of the streets and alleys outside the Zhengyang Gate, holding shields and carrying ladders, rushing towards the tall city walls like a tide.

At the same time, on both sides of the Zhengyangmen Urn City, from the direction of Chongwen Gate and Xuanwu Gate, an attack was launched again along the broad city wall!

Although they have been repulsed many times, these former Ming officers and soldiers who are newly attached to Dashun are still highly motivated, and everyone is vying for the lead.

There is no other reason, the Yellow Dragon Flag of the Great Tomorrow is still flying on the Zhengyang Gate! Most of the desperate Emperor Chongzhen was also there. As long as Zhengyangmen is taken, the Ming Dynasty will also die, and Dashun New City will be the co-master of the world.

If the great achievement is in front of you, who will not compete for the first?

The battle for Beijing's inner city has been going on for more than a day. The time also came to March 22, and the banner of "Chuang" was raised on eight of the nine gates of Beijing's inner city. In addition to the two gates of Xuanwu and Chongwen, the remaining six gates were broken without a fight, two of them were scattered by the defenders, and the remaining four were simply rebelled by the defenders and took the initiative to sacrifice the city gates.

Because Chaoyang Gate and Dongzhi Gate were not blocked, Li Zicheng's old battalion soldiers also poured in from Chaoyang Gate.

However, what was waiting for them was not the recalcitrant Ming officers and soldiers, but the people of Beijing who welcomed them and the officials who abandoned the Ming and surrendered. The ballads of "eat his mother, wear his mother" came and went, and many people took out the firecrackers that had been prepared for a long time and set them off to their heart's content, and the whole scene was similar to the New Year!

On this day, the Dashun Dynasty is really proud.

But in this pride, there is also a little unsatisfactory. That is, the resistance of Zhengyangmen Wengcheng is still tenacious, and it has lasted from noon on the 21st to the present, repelling more than a dozen waves of attacks by the Dashun army.

This urn city is also too strong! The city wall is high and thick, and the city gates on all sides are composed of jack gates and opposite iron leaf gates, which cannot be opened at all without Hongyi cannons. What's even more terrifying is that in the defense system of Zhengyangmen Urn City, there is also a huge arrow tower made of bricks and stones. The main body of the arrow tower has four floors, and there are 94 arrow windows on the east, south and west sides, which are used for external archery.

With such a strong fortress, Li Zicheng has seen it for the first time! In the absence of Hongyi cannons and no large-scale siege equipment, relying solely on the strong attack of the ants, the losses will certainly not be light.

However, the officers and soldiers of Dashun, stimulated by heavy rewards, still went forward one after another, launching wave after wave of attacks.

Chen Yongfu's soldiers and horses are still the main force of the attack, this fierce general who once shot King Chuang blind, now put on heavy armor, and together with his henchmen and officers, he tried his best to control the rhythm of the team's progress, so that they would not be in a mess because of the scramble. From time to time, arrowheads and iron sand projectiles were shot out of the arrow window of the arrow tower. The arrows were not much of a threat to Chen Yongfu and the others, they were wearing long iron armor, and there were personal soldiers around them to help them spread their shields.

But the iron armor and shield can't protect against the fire! There are some well-made Lumi guns on the Zhengyangmen Arrow Tower, all of which are collected by Luo Yangxing from the brocade guards controlled by his own family, and the soldiers who operate the guns are also fed with silver, and they specially select Dashun officers wearing good armor to fire! Many of Chen Yongfu's cronies and family members had already been killed, which made him feel distressed.

But the distress is distressed, and the fight has to be fought!

The battle of attacking Zhengyangmen Urn City is most likely the first contribution of Dashun to destroy the Ming! As long as it can be defeated, Chen Yongfu is still afraid that there will be no national prince who can pass it on in the future?

The officers and families below Chen Yongfu have also been released, and the glory and wealth of the children and grandchildren will depend on the present dynasty!

Under the leadership of these generals, ordinary soldiers also fought for their lives. They don't expect to be knighted, but a hundred households can always win the world's office, right? That's what you can eat for generations.

The formation of thousands of people filled the narrow moat in an instant. Trudge through waist-deep water. People were constantly being shot by arrows and falling, and the cries and screams of wounded soldiers rang out. However, these voices are no match for the ballad of "eat his mother, drink his mother", which resounded from all over the inner and outer cities of Beijing, and merged into a shocking sound, as if to collapse this suffocating last days.

Luo Yanghe and Gao Yushun heard this earth-shaking ballad, they were both shocked and frightened, this sound came from all directions, could it be that the Jingshi has fallen everywhere? There is only one Zhengyangmen urn city left, struggling to hold on?

The two loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty were also forced to have no choice, they actually wanted to surrender - Zhu Cihong's order to agree to surrender was in their arms, which could make them loyal and righteous ministers who would go down in history.

But the problem is that Li Zicheng doesn't send people to persuade him to surrender! Just wave after wave onslaught! So they had no chance of surrendering if they wanted to, so they had to grit their teeth and hold on.

That's right, surrender also has to have a chance, and it has to talk about conditions. It's not that when you see a fierce enemy soldier killed, you "surrender your gun and don't kill". What's so good? It's all red-eyed, who cares if you descend or not? Slaughter it first!

Not only did Luo Yang and Gao Yushun have to stand up to supervise the battle, but the brave soldiers who were heavily rewarded to defend to the death were also difficult to ride a tiger at this time.

Because Luo Yangxing and Gao Yushun did not go to the city empty-handed, but brought hundreds of thousands of taels of silver into Zhengyangmen Urn City - Zhu Cihong gave them all the silver that could not be taken away. And Luo Yanghe and Gao Yushun are also rare and generous, open up to scatter money, and everyone will be rewarded for pushing the enemy to attack in a wave! So much so that the thousands of people who were still holding on to the Zhengyangmen urn city, each of them got at least twenty taels of silver!

That's a lot of money!

Even if the officers and soldiers of the Dashun Army can spare their lives with great kindness, can they still want their money?

In order to keep this money in exchange for their lives, they had to bear it hard...... It was not until Li Zicheng sent someone to persuade him to surrender, and then they were qualified to speak with the new lord of the world.

Fortunately, they still have a big card in their hands, which is Emperor Chongzhen, the son of the Great Tomorrow!

On the fourth floor of the highest Zhengyangmen Arrow Tower, there are only two people at this time, Guang Shiheng and Luo Xiushen - Emperor Chongzhen, who Guang Shiheng pretends to be, is the backbone of defending the city.

Therefore, Luo Xiushen personally guarded the fake Chongzhen, and also asked people to block the road leading to the four cities on the third floor of the arrow tower.

However, Guang Shiheng had already collapsed, huddled alone in the corner of the fourth floor of the arrow tower, not eating or drinking, and making his hair unkempt, just crying vigorously, not looking like a loyal person at all.

Luo Xiu had no choice, so he had to persuade hard: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...... When King Chuang sends someone to persuade him to surrender, we will surrender, and if we surrender, we are still loyal people, what a good thing? The longer we stand up now, the more successful this loyal man will be. When the time comes, King Chuang will have to give preferential treatment to us in order to win people's hearts......"

"But, but he didn't send anyone to persuade him to surrender!" Guangshi Hengdu was about to cry urgently, "When will this wave of attacks be a head!" ”

"It's coming, it's coming," Luo Xiushen smiled and comforted, "Zhengyangmen Urn City is not easy to fight, how many lives can Li Zicheng fill in?" ”

……

Li Zicheng was standing on the Yongding Gate at this time, with an extremely solemn expression on his face, looking at the battlefield in front of him expressionlessly. The performance of the two armies of Shunming was in his eyes.

Dashun's warriors are already working hard enough to attack without dying. But the Ming army defending the city also fought for their lives, even if all parts of the capital were returned to Dashun, and even the great eunuch Wang Dehua, who was guarding the Forbidden City, had just surrendered. These Ming lonely loyalists are still unwavering and swear to defend Emperor Chongzhen to the death.

This loyalty really made Li Zicheng a little admired, and he couldn't help but sigh: "If the civil and military generals everywhere in the Ming Dynasty are like the loyal people on the Zhengyang Gate, E'an has today?" ”

"Your Majesty," Gu Junen, the second army division, finally remembered the trick of persuasion to surrender at this time, "Why don't you send Wang Dehua, who has just surrendered to us, to persuade him to surrender...... Now that the Son of Zhu Thief has lost his country, how long can he support it with just a castle? If Your Majesty can crown him a prince, he will probably be willing to surrender. ”

Li Zicheng nodded and said, "Ezheng has this intention, go to someone and find Wang Dehua!" ”
