Liu Hong gradually saw that Li Zicheng was dead, and turned around with the AKM on his shoulders and ran from the broken city wall to the city, and Li Zicheng's own soldiers were so stunned that they even forgot to pursue the assassin.

Li Zijing watched in horror as his brother died tragically at his feet, and he fell off his horse with no city and was as timid as a mouse, looking around, and the sound of cannon shouts and killing overpowered the gunfire of AKM.

Except for a few soldiers who were close to see a few flashes of fire under the city wall, almost no one noticed where the bullets came from, Li Zijing was afraid that the mysterious assassin would take a fancy to him, and immediately set out to protect him from retreating, in his opinion, his brother and the leader of the rebel army were dead, how could this battle be fought.

The city was in chaos, and the peasant army, which had no discipline, could not receive the orders of their superiors, and they saw Li Zicheng's tragic death with sharp eyes and ran to the rear with a flick of the spear.

Tian Jianxiu, who captured Dongbianmen, saw the abnormal situation of Zhengyangmen, and hurriedly drove his horse to check the situation, and when he saw the tragic situation of Li Zicheng, the leader of the rebel army, he also screamed in shock.

"Can anyone tell me how the king died? Can anyone tell me? Tian Jianxiu is Li Zicheng's old brother who raised the army, and he followed Li Zicheng to fight in the south and north more than ten years ago (oh, it can be said that he was hiding in Tibet), and won Li Zicheng's trust.

"Whoever killed the king, I will avenge him! Can anyone tell me, where are the assassins? Tian Jianxiu knelt under Li Zicheng's corpse and shouted loudly, but except for dozens of people from his direct guards, the rest of the people's army only cared about running back, and none of them did not touch this moldy head without a long eye.

Tian Jianxiu saw that Li Zijing was running away with the guards in the distance, and hurriedly drove his horse to catch up.

"Li Zijing, who killed the king?" Tian saw that Xiuxiu's teeth were about to crack, with tears in his eyes, and he stared at Li Zijing fiercely, and Li Zijing, who was looking directly, was furious in his heart.

"Tian Jianxiu, my brother is dead, he ordered me to take over the rest of the rebel army before he died, now I order you to protect me back to the camp, and let me think about the rest after I return to the camp!"

Tian Jianxiu's personal soldiers carried Li Zicheng's body on horseback, revealing only half of the back of his head, Li Zijing was frightened, he hid among the many guards, and only dared to poke his head out and scold Tian Jianxiu.

"General Li, the king was killed by the villain, and now that the city gate has been breached, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue and avenge King Chuang!" As a subordinate, although Tian Jianxiu was sad in his heart, he still retained his sanity as a general.

"My brother is dead, now the army is unstable, and the morale of the Ming army is greatly boosted, one is the other, in order to prevent accidents, we should retreat to the barracks, and think about it in the long run! I repeat, I ordered you to protect me back to the barracks, do you dare to disobey? Although the discipline of the peasant army is not very good, but it pays more attention to blood relations than the imperial court, this rebel army was brought out by Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng has no children, in the concept of the people's army, Li Zicheng died and his brother Li Zijing is naturally the new leader of this rebel army.

Li Zijing grasped this point and ordered Tian Jianxiu to take a grand order.

Tian Jianxiu turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Li Zicheng's corpse.

"King Chuang has the grace of knowing me, he is dead, I want to avenge the king!" Then he bowed to Li Zijing again, and led the only dozens of brothers who followed him to rush towards the gap in the city gate.

In the wave of thousands of people's troops running back, Tian Jianxiu's dozens of men and horses went upstream, Tian Jianxiu tore off a white cloth from his waist underwear, wrapped it around his head, and rushed to Zhengyangmen with blazing eyes.

However, Wang Chengen, who was on the city wall, naturally also saw the strange situation under the city, and the eunuch Wang, who was about to jump into the city to martyrdom, immediately drove the only archers and shield soldiers to block a section of the city wall and the Zhengyang City Gate that was blown up.

On the eighteenth, Tian Jianxiu led people to attack Zhengyangmen, Wang Chengen led the remnants of the defenders to fight fiercely with Tian Jianxiu, Tian Jianxiu was brave and abnormal, not afraid of death, and killed more than ten people of the Ming army in one breath, but in the end he was outnumbered, and dozens of arrows in his body died of exhaustion, and dozens of Tian Jianxiu's guards also fought without retreating, and were finally annihilated, and the Beijing offensive and defensive battle that lasted three days and three nights came to an end.

The words are divided into two ends, but it is said that the same sleepless Emperor Chongzhen, in the early morning of the eighteenth Li Zicheng's cannon began to roar, the Chongzhen Emperor who learned the news already knew that the big thing was not good, so he ordered Wang Erxi to ring the bell in the front hall to convene the ministers, but no one came, Chongzhen angrily smashed the delicate teacup in his hand.

"The ministers are mistaken, the monarch is dead, the world in 277 years, once it is abandoned, it is all mistaken by the traitorous ministers, so that I am not the king of the dead country, all the ministers are the ministers of the dead country! I hate it...... Hate ...... "After speaking, vomit blood and fall to the ground!"

When Chongzhen woke up again, it was dawn, and there was no shouting outside the city, Chongzhen opened his eyes and saw that in addition to Wang Erxi, Wang Chengen, the governor of Beijing, was also kneeling in front of the jade collapse, and Queen Zhou was lying in front of the window and couldn't cry.

"Wang Chengen, since the thief army has broken the city, why don't you follow those ministers and run for your life?" Emperor Chongzhen stared at the ceiling with blank eyes, and said helplessly, he is a failed emperor, even if he wears a patched imperial robe for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, even if he is only thirty-four years old and is in the age of fighting, his temples are gray.

No one knows how many sleepless nights he has experienced, no one knows how hard he has worked for Daming, how much he hopes that the stormy Daming can go to Zhongxing in his hands.

"Emperor, the thief army has been repulsed! Daming ...... Da Ming guarded! Wang Chengen's face was covered with black ash, his tattered robe was full of marks from being cut by a knife, and there were two shocking wounds on his legs, blood flowing from his thighs to his kneeling knees, staining the spotless dormitory.

"What? Held? Are you a liar? Chongzhen grabbed the back of the bed with both hands, and sat up with his eyes wide open.

"Emperor, the old slave doesn't dare to deceive the emperor, Beijing City is defended, Beijing City is defended!"

Then Wang Chengen told Chongzhen about the fierce battle last night, and talked about the mysterious man sniping Li Zicheng, not only showed a shocked look, although he was standing on the city wall at that time, although he was not close, but he clearly saw that there was a fire flickering at the crack on the side of Zhengyang Gate, and then there were a few deafening sounds, Li Zicheng fell off the horse, and some sharp-eyed people also said that half of Li Zicheng's head was knocked off.

Emperor Chongzhen listened to Wang Chengen's narration blankly, and even said that Chongzhen had fallen into a stupor when he fought Tian Jianxiu under the Zhengyang Gate, and Wang Chengen saw that Chongzhen had no time to listen to his heroic deeds of Tian Jianxiu, so he closed his mouth and knelt on the ground silently.

"Reward!" Emperor Chongzhen suddenly sat up straight, and Wang Erxi on the side immediately knelt down to make a decree.

"Wang Chengen has meritorious service in defending the city, promoted Wang Chengen to the commander of the Jingying, and the number of years is increased to 300 stones, and the gold medal is given, and the python robe and jade belt are rewarded!"

Chongzhen was seventeen years, known for his widowhood, in fact, there are some mistakes to blame Chongzhen, in his opinion, in the past, he explained the matter, the ministers were either yang and yin, or directly with him, the name of death advice, nothing can be done, he naturally will not reward these people.

And now that the Ming Dynasty is in danger, the behavior of those ministers is really disappointing, and on the other hand, Wang Chengen, the great eunuch who has followed him for many years, is ordered to fight to the death, and he will not reward anyone.

"Reward!" Chongzhen shouted again, and Wang Erxi, who was going to get up to draft the decree, immediately knelt down again.

"Liu Hong, as a grass citizen in the city, stood up when he was in danger, killed the thief leader, relieved my worries, and shamed the ministers. Order the world to tell our people! ”
