Fu Ankang's mobilization was very subtle, and it happened to hit the sore spot of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.

Being in the Beijing camp, and the Shenji Battalion full of nobles, the morale is naturally higher than everyone else, and being forced to surrender to a group of mud-legged people is an indelible pain in the hearts of these soldiers - this is just out of pride and superiority, and has nothing to do with integrity - it would be great if he could intercept the Liukou puppet emperor, wash his name ashore, erase the charge of defecting to the enemy, and be rewarded.

"Woo Woo ......"

Stimulated by such thoughts, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were all like chickens, and the speed and efficiency of firing were much higher than those of ordinary drills, and the dense firepower suppressed the people under the city for a while. Coupled with the condescending advantage, the first wave of the Dashun army's offensive yielded nothing, leaving only a corpse under the city wall.

Li Zicheng frowned, and continued to order: "Half of the people will attack the city, and the other will storm the city gate." "His purpose is to rush out of the inner city, not to control the Zhengyang Gate, part of it attracts firepower, part of it opens the door, just get out.

However, when the soldiers in charge of attacking the door rushed to the doorway, they saw it by the light of the torches and cursed one after another. It turned out that the Shenji Battalion had blocked the city gate tightly with mud and sandbags, and there were a lot of big bluestones pressed on the top, and it took a lot of effort to open the city gate. Moreover, the fire guns at the head of the city were constantly firing, braving the rain of bullets to clear the obstacles at the door, which was not much different from attacking the city from the outside in.

Li Zicheng learned of the situation ahead, and was furious: "After entering the city alone, he treated these surrendered Beijing officers and soldiers well, but he didn't expect to feed a group of white-eyed wolves, and he put so much effort into blocking the door, what kind of grudge do you have with Lone?" He stretched out his hand and pointed to the head of the city, "First take the city tower, kill all these officers and soldiers, and then clear the barricades and open the city gates." "Since the hope of getting out of the city quickly has been lost, the only way to do this is to kill people before opening the door.

Driven by the desire to survive, the soldiers of the Dashun army scrambled to climb the city wall. Compared with the siege of the city, it is much simpler in the city, and it is necessary to rush up the ladder, and even the cloud ladder is saved. Although from time to time people were shot and fell, and some people were squeezed to the ground because the stairs were too narrow, the crowd gradually approached the city.

Although the bird guns of the Shenji Battalion are much better than those of the local army, and the probability of exploding is much smaller, after all, it is an arquebus, and the rate of fire is outrageously low.

After paying the price of hundreds of lives, the Dashun army finally rushed to the top of the city, howling and pounced. They were so excited by this bullet that they had already held their breath, and it was not enough to vent their anger if they didn't kill all these old soldiers. In the past, if there were cavalry in the open field, it was very simple to break through the array of bird soldiers without the protection of cold weapons, but today's opponent occupies the terrain advantage, condescending, and the ladder is narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it has caused such a large number of casualties, and now that it is face to face, things are simple, rushing into the enemy formation and slashing and slashing.

Seeing that the opponent was so desperate, Fu Ankang immediately panicked, how could he fight with these mud-legged people just by relying on the Divine Machine Battalion? He hurriedly said to Zhu Yujiao: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the situation is not good, please evacuate quickly, if you have three long and two short, the end will not be able to afford ......"

At this time, the soldiers of the Dashun Army had already gone up to the city wall, and they slashed at the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion with their fierce blades. The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who had no cold weapons to protect themselves, resisted in vain with bird guns that had been turned into burning sticks, and fell in pools of blood one after another. From a distance, you can hear the sound of "poof" knives and axes entering the flesh.

Although Zhu Yujiao is young and old, she is a little girl who has never been on the battlefield after all, seeing a living person being killed under her nose, revealing white bones and blurred flesh and blood, this kind of visual impact is much more than watching the scene of the bird killing the enemy from a distance, she couldn't help but churn in her stomach, and almost vomited on the spot, and she wanted to say something hard, but she couldn't open her mouth. Hearing Fu Ankang's persuasion, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.

However, the Dashun army obviously didn't want to let go of Her Royal Highness the princess, and the leading officer saw Zhu Yujiao dressed in white at a glance, which was particularly conspicuous in the crowd, and shouted loudly: "The emperor confesses, catch that woman, and reward 1,000 taels of silver!" ”

The soldiers of the Dashun army were all killed, and after hearing such a high reward, they left their opponents around them, and rushed in the direction of Zhu Yujiao, and the soldiers of the Shenji battalion in the middle were cut to pieces, and some people did not want to die under the knife and axe, and jumped out of the city wall in a hurry, although they broke their legs, they managed to save their lives temporarily. However, in this way, the momentum of the advance of the soldiers of the Dashun Army is even more unstoppable.

Chongzhen did not leave much blood, in the case of the disappearance of the crown prince and the imprisonment of the second king of Yongding, Princess Kunxing, as the eldest daughter, was naturally a strange thing to live in. Li Zicheng left in a hurry, and he didn't think of going to the prison to pick up King Yong and King Ding, and now a princess sent it to the door, but it reminded him: No matter what idea Xia Nan and Wu Sangui made after recovering the capital, the official reason must be to support the Ming Dynasty and re-establish the new emperor, so it is very useful to catch this princess, and if necessary, he can be used as a hostage to deal with the pursuing soldiers.

Zhu Yujiao also sensed the other party's intentions, and turned her head and ran to the other end of the city wall surrounded by a large group of Shenji Battalion soldiers, wanting to get rid of the pursuers, but the soldiers of the Dashun Army got the order and had a high reward, so how could they easily let her go. More and more soldiers of the Dashun Army poured into the narrow aisles of the city wall, waving their blades, crushing them like bulldozers, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who had almost no hand-to-hand combat ability, could not resist at all, and the distance was slowly shortening, from one or two hundred steps, to ninety or seventy steps......

Amid the shouts of killing, Zhu Yujiao turned her head frequently, desperately finding that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, and even the excited and distorted expressions on their faces were clearly visible......

When Li Zicheng attacked Zhengyangmen, Xia Nan was rushing in this direction with the Guards Battalion and part of the troops of the First Army.

After defeating Hao Shaoqi and entering the inner city through Fucheng Gate, he learned the news that Li Zicheng fled to the south, Xia Nan immediately made a decision, and sent two battalions of troops to Wenfu to protect the prince, and then took the strength of the Guards Battalion and a regiment of the First Army to chase Li Zicheng in person, and the rest of the people were all scattered out to search for the rout of the Dashun army in the city, clear the remnants of the enemy, and control the situation. His thinking is very clear: in addition to keeping the political bargaining chip of the crown prince, the most important task at the moment is to kill Li Zicheng, a guy whose vitality is comparable to Xiaoqiang, in one go, lest he make a comeback in the future and block himself.
