In fact, the troops of the Dashun army in the area of Guangqumen are not small, there are more than 5,000 people on the city wall that stretches for several miles, plus the reserve troops under the city, there are 10,000 or 20,000 people in the entire north, but it is thin when evenly spread on each section of the city wall. In addition, this kind of large-scale siege battle is rarely carried out at night, the defenders are on duty in turn, and more than half of the people go down the city wall to rest. Before the defenders could react and form an organized resistance, the gates were already occupied.

Huang Mengjia stood majestically at the gate of the city and ordered loudly: "Open the city gate and send a signal to notify the outside of the city!"

A glimmer of fire shot straight into the sky, "popping" in the air, and could be seen for miles. As soon as the Qiong navy, which had been prepared outside the city for a long time, saw the signal, they lit their torches and marched towards Guangqu Gate in a group. On the other side, the Guanning army was thundering with hooves, and the long procession rushed towards the city gate at a very fast speed like a fire dragon under the light of torches.

The sparks and sounds that burst into the air also alarmed the people in the city. Li Guo led an army of 50,000 to gather in Beicheng to rest, preparing to go out of the city after dawn to "cooperate" with the Qiong Navy to attack the Guanning army. After hearing the movement, Li Guo was startled, turned over, and shouted: "Come on, what's going on in the north?"

The pro-soldiers on duty came in to report: "Someone on the other side of Guangqu Gate released an arrow, I don't know what's going on?"

"Strange, in addition to our people, didn't Guangqumen just station the artillery and soldiers of the Qiong Navy during the day, what are they going to do?" Li Guo thought for a moment and reacted, "Oops, these southern barbarians must have colluded with the outside of the city, hurry up and give an order, everyone the guys, rush to Guangqumen, I'm afraid there will be changes in the north!" ”

Although he hadn't figured out for a while what the Qiong Navy artillery unit was doing in partnership with the outside of the city on the eve of the imminent outbreak of the battle between the Guanning Army and the Qiong Navy, the instinct trained on the battlefield for many years made Li Guo make the most correct response.

However, the 50,000-strong army originally planned to leave the city at dawn, and it was difficult for them to let them enter the battle state immediately in the middle of the night, after all, the "second-line troops" of these Dashun troops were not well-trained and professional troops like the Qiong Navy.

Li Guo's "unkind" order was resisted by many officers and soldiers, and some people shouted: "Let us go out of the city tomorrow and send us to death, so let's get some sleep, what's the matter with tossing people like this?"

Some people put on armor and picked up weapons to prepare to go, some complained that they didn't plan to move at all, and more people woke up from their sleep, not knowing what was going on, and saw people with sharp blades running around outside by the moonlight, and some people shouted loudly, half-asleep and half-awake did not distinguish between friend and foe, and thought that they were attacked, and in a panic they raised their steel knives and went out to cut at each other, intending to have a "strike first".

Those who were attacked instinctively returned fire, and the chaos in the darkness slowly created and then gradually spread to the entire battalion.

The most frightening thing happened in the ancient army, the mentally stressed soldiers killed each other, tens of thousands of troops were in chaos, some were slashed and killed, and many more were trampled to death by the crowd. A massive battalion roar was formed.

Li Guo didn't expect that an order would cause such a situation, and hurriedly said: "Come on, let me go everywhere and press, I can't go on like this......"

But the chaos has been completed, and it is not that the hundreds of personal soldiers around him can be suppressed, and after these people were sent out, they disappeared into the sea like mud cows, and did not even splash a splash.

At the same time, the special forces had firmly controlled the tower, opened the gates, and waited for the army to enter the city. The defenders above and below the rest of the city walls spontaneously rushed over to stop them, but they were blocked from the battle line one by one by the special combat team.

The city gate had been opened, and Huang Mengjia was no longer hidden, and ordered the whole army to open fire.

"Woo Woo ......"

The short rifled guns of the special forces were useful in such street battles, and the lines of fifty or hundred men spewed out the flames of death, so that the scattered defenders could not even get closer to the city gates, but in vain they left large swaths of corpses around.

Time passed minute by minute, and after the battle at the city gate lasted for half an hour, the cavalry units of the Guanning army were the first to reach the Guangqu Gate. According to the pre-plan, Huang Mengjia asked the special combat team to get out of the way, and the cavalry troops rushed into the city with a gust of wind, holding their sabers high and rushing in the direction of the noise - it was Li Guo's 50,000 army that bombed the camp.

After the Guanning army entered the city, the Qiong navy also caught up through a rapid march, and tens of thousands of people from the two armies entered the city one after another, officially announcing the loss of Guangqu Gate, and the northern gate of the capital was easily breached.

The movement in the north was too great, and it was urgent all the way, and finally reached the Forbidden City.

"What, the Guangqu Gate is lost?" Li Zicheng's scalp was about to explode when he heard the news, "Did the Qiong Navy and the Guan Ning Army collude?" ”

The soldier who reported the news hesitated: "There is no definite news from General Li Guo and Guangqumen, but the Guanning Iron Cavalry has indeed entered the city, followed by a large group of men and horses with firearms, it should be the main force of the Qiong Navy, they are in the same direction, and they have not fought each other......"

"What else is there to confirm? It is clear that the two groups of people are colluding and joining forces to pit me Dashun! Li Zicheng was shocked and angry, "I never thought that two unrelated armies, one south and one north, could join forces to deal with us!" ”

The main generals of the Dashun Army rushed to hear the news and asked, "Your Majesty, what should I do now?"

After a short period of panic, Li Zicheng regained his composure and ordered: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the plains and wilderness may be a little afraid of these two families, but we may not be afraid of them in the chaotic battle in the city." Lone order: Zong Min led the men and horses of the headquarters to intercept from the north from the Desheng Gate, Hao Shaoqi from the Fucheng Gate, and Tian Jianxiu from the Chaoyang Gate to attack from the two sides, and be sure to block the enemy from the inner city. After dawn, Lone reorganized the rest of the army and personally reinforced it. ”

Everyone knew that the matter was urgent, and it was related to the survival of Dashun, and they did not bargain, so they all responded happily and said: "Please rest assured that the emperor will not fail in his mission."

After the generals took their orders and left, Song Xiance said worriedly: "The incident happened suddenly, the Guan Ning Army and the Qiong Navy joined forces, and they resisted in a hurry with their intentions and unintentionalities, I am afraid that they will ......."

Li Zicheng said with a gloomy face: "Mr. Song is a literati, so he doesn't need to go into battle to kill the enemy, and he also needs Mr. to help come up with ideas on the way south." Hurry up and pack up and go out of the city from the south with Lone? ”

Song Xiance was shocked: "Your Majesty, this is ......"

Li Zicheng did not answer directly, but said to the eunuch guarding the door: "Hurry up and go to Kunning Palace to inform the queen and go out of the city with Gu."

Song Xiance understood, Li Zicheng was going to run away.
