Therefore, when Wang Chongrong led the vanguard of the Hezhong Army, he finally arrived at Fenglingdu on the east bank of the Yellow River (now the southwest corner of the county town of Ruicheng County, Shanxi), and wanted to start the battle of Tongguan in Guozhou on the other side since the pass wanted to cross the river;

However, they were greeted by the broken doors and ferry heads burned into ruins. There were even guns from the river that were bombarded by them and had to retreat temporarily.

As for the direction of Tongguan in the distance, the last rippling fireworks were extinguished on the spot. Although Wang Chongying fled into the only remaining Dongcheng in Tongguan and wanted to resist stubbornly, the other remaining defenders in the pass had no determination and toughness to accompany him to fight to the end.

Therefore, when the sky was white, they opened the gate of Dongguan City and fled into the vague morning mist outside the Guancheng without looking back without looking back; and left Wang Chongying, who was full of panic and despair, to the Taiping Selection Front who followed.

Wang Chongying, who was unwilling to accept something, was indeed trying his best to encourage and shout. The only personal guards and fangs around him rushed towards the enemy soldiers who were crossing the inner walls of Dongguan City, and wanted to win a moment of opportunity for him to break through.

However, the scattered shots that were heard on the wall soon broke his last bit of longing and hope in the screams of falling to the ground with blood. With a lead ball hitting his back from behind and thundering, the remaining dozens of personal soldiers gathered around him also scattered birds and beasts.

Therefore, when the morning sun rose as usual and the last little dew and shade in the morning was steaming, the blue Kunpeng flag representing the Taiping Army was still raised on the city towers on both sides of Tongguan. Wang Chongying, who had fallen into a blue nose, swollen face and mud, was also pulled out of the trench outside Dongguan Gate.

Although he tried his best to run out of the unattended Dongguanmen due to the injury of the Hougu, he accidentally fell into the deep trench used as a fortification in front of the door and fell to his death on the spot because of the last bit of morning mist.

But the only luck is that the defenders were not very careful about the arrangement of the ditch, and only a few pointed wooden stakes that had been dealing with the trouble were present, which made him avoid it. Therefore, when the auxiliary soldiers who were found with blood were dragged out of the mud at the bottom of the ditch, they escaped the result of being suffocated to death.

However, when Wang Chongying, who was covered in dirt on his face, was picked out among the prisoners because of the cowhide boots that were too obvious under his feet, he completely changed his posture and shouted loudly:

"I am the Shaanxi Guo Observer, and I will not quickly lead me to meet your general!"

As the saying goes, since he has been defeated, it is natural that it is reasonable to submit to the other party and find a way to survive. In his opinion, since he has survived under Huang Wang and Zheng Ting, it is also of great use for occupying peace within the pass.

For example, as an important bargaining chip (hostage) for subsequent negotiations with Hezhong, he could fully seek some corresponding preferential treatment and courtesy. However, the next moment he was pinned to the ground and tied up, even though he tried his best to shout:

"I am the Shaanxi Guo Observer Wang Chongying, how dare you take it unreasonably..."

"It's your observant!"

The young general who was instructing him next to him smiled:

"I will tie it in front of the car later and send it to Hongnong City (Guozhou) (now Lingbao City, Henan) to call it the city. Even if you don't want to live, a dead body is OK!"

Hearing this sentence, Wang Chongying couldn't help but feel like her predecessor was suddenly removed from his bones and spirits. He was like a walking corpse, and was tied up and pulled up a cart, and then sent it out to close the door.

Therefore, just one day later, Hongnong, the city of Guozhou, located southwest of Tongguan, opened the city without hesitation in front of Wang Chongying himself who was escorted; then the five counties of Lu family, Yanxiang, Yucheng, Zhuyang and Hucheng belonging to Guozhou were also successively looking down.

Then, when he was surrounded by the pavilion of Hangu Road, which was formed by the narrow and flat land on the bank of the Yellow River, he continued to advance to the city of Shan County, which was adjacent to the river in Shanzhou, and met Wang Gan, the son of Wang Chongying, who was defending the city, and led the corresponding military and civilians to resist.

However, when he saw Wang Chongying himself, who was tied to a long pole on the car, looked half dead; Wang Gan cried without hesitation and shouted on the spot: "My adult has been killed by the thief army and died for his own sacrifice. They dare to cheat me."

Then he took a bow and shot an arrow at the cart where Wang Chongying was; and under his guidance, a rain of arrows shot from the city. Although most of them fell into the ground outside the range, several still flew lightly to the cart where Wang Chongying was.

However, he was blocked by several Taiping soldiers who were quickly snatched out. However, Wang Chongying was so scared that he was so excited that he was flowing warm wet marks on the pole, and he couldn't help but curse the "unfilial son" who was disobedient to human ethics on the city.

However, Wang Gan, who was living on the top of the city, seemed to have no idea. He turned around and looked panicked at the crowd of soldiers in the city with a look of confusion and said, "My uncle's army and horses in the river have already arrived at the north shore. I will take us to hold on for a while, and all the wealth and wealth of all people will be protected. I am afraid there will be additional promotions and rewards?"

"What Yanei said is very..."

"But follow the instructions of Yanei..."

The remaining generals couldn't help but respond and expressed their opinions: No matter how many of them were sincere or not, they all formed a certain unanimous momentum of unity against the enemy at this moment.

At this time, it seemed like he was echoing his words. There was also a sound of alarm knocking on the board in the north of the city. However, on the other side of the distant river, there were also visible fireworks and vague shouts of killing in the wind.

Therefore, the head of Shan County could not help but beating the gongs and drums with great morale, as if in this way, the Taiping troops outside the city could be scared away or retreated in the face of difficulties.

However, with the fierce resistance on the top of the city, the Taiping Army under the city may not be very surprised; and the troops continued to lead in an orderly manner; and the temporary ferry built along the riverside Avenue were sent to the ship and the cannon trucks and medicines ashore one by one, and lined up against the city gate tower.

Then, at noon when the city started eating in turn, accompanied by the roar of cannons and the rammed earth city, fragments splashed on the walls like rain, and suddenly launched a strong attack.

Many Taiping soldiers who were pushing big-name barriers, light cloud ladders, and four-wheeled roof-mounted chariots, were approaching the city without hesitation, along with the roar of cannons roaring overhead, as well as the rain of arrows and throwing stones shot towards them, and without hesitation, shoveling down the ground that was paved.

At this time, boiling water, hot oil, charcoal, ash bottle and wood rolling stones were already prepared on the wall; when they first concentrated on the cart downstairs of the direct drive gate, they were immediately submerged in the rolling smoke, hot air and flames.

Then, they were recalibrated the cannon vehicles inside the earth-building building, extending more scorching cannons onto the city wall and the gatehouse. While the fragments of limbs splashed and dust rolled, there were also deaths and injuries whine into a whine.

But this was just the beginning. The next moment, behind the big brands and the car blocking cars, smoke dragons rose one after another, and fell into the aisle behind the city wall with tortuous and floating arcs. They immediately ignited amid the howlings, blowing over more people and objects.

The car that was stopped by the intersection and thrown under the city also started to move again, and under the burned and cracked skin, the entire iron plate was slightly deformed, but it was still towering;

After a while, groups of soldiers congested on the inside of the city gate heard obvious collisions from the door bolt and the horizontal bar, vibrating downwards, and they couldn't help but hold the long sword and axe in their hands, and their breathing became rapid.

However, as the shouts of killing from the city gate tower above my head became more and more intense, the movement from the outside of the city gate disappeared suddenly; this made many tight-fitting armored soldiers unable to help but hang down the heavy weapons in their hands, thinking to myself, did the enemy give up like this?

In an instant, the whole piece of dust suddenly splashed out from the cracks, and it fell down on its back, and suddenly it screamed and overwhelmed with the armored soldiers piled up behind the door.

Then sparks splashed out from the rolling smoke and dust, and small blood-sprayed holes penetrated through the remaining armored soldiers who could stand; and balls of blue smoke were blasted to their feet, exploding a piece of black smoke, causing the armored soldiers' legs and feet to fall to the ground without protection.

Then the spikes that were protruding from the smoke and dust unhesitated through all the human bodies that were still moving on the ground without hesitation, and then stepped past them after the blood water was cleared; the whistling echoed into the Shan County...

Not long after, Wang Gan, who had retreated to the Yacheng, couldn't help but look at the concubines of his family and concubines in despair, and was driven into the house by his personal soldiers and sealed them in it. Then he piled firewood under the eaves and poured oil on it, just waiting for the torch to be dropped.

However, at this time, Wang Chongying's roar of cursing resounded outside Yacheng; it turned into a clamor of uproar from the outside to the inside, rushing around;

When Wang Gan, who was furious and anxious, snatched the torch and threw it into the room, the sealed courtyard gate was knocked open again, and several muskets hit his body together and fell directly into the rising flames.
