"What? Chaoyang Gate is broken?"

When the news came, Li Zicheng's face turned blue and white, and it looked extremely ugly.

Since the army sent troops in Xi'an, it has been unstoppable and smooth. It is a good omen. It is about to attack Beijing and proclaim itself to be emperor and realize its life vision, but was interrupted by Li Xin with a blow and now it has lost Chaoyang Gate again.

Li Zicheng believed in the prophecy, otherwise he would not trust the scammers like Song Xiance.

Chaoyang is the meaning of the rising sun, indicating that the great future is still behind. But the enemy army is not easy to attack, but it just captured Chaoyang Gate. Isn’t it just that the rising sun is blocked by dark clouds?

This is a very bad sign!

"Damn it, why can't you even keep a gate?"

Li Zicheng was furious!

The morale of the news reported was sad and said, "Emperor, there are only a few hundred brothers guarding Chaoyang Gate. It has not been long since the city was put in place. Before the arrangement was done properly, the cavalry of the Bandit Army rushed over. After firing a few cannons, the Mongols would fly around the city and shoot arrows to the top of the city. The brothers were still firing guns below. The brothers could not reveal their heads, so they could only watch the Bandit Army drilled open the city gate and rushed in."

"Damn it, if I had entered the city yesterday and made arrangements, how good would it be. Even if there were 100,000 soldiers in Li, I would not be able to break Beijing. I still don't understand why it rains on the 18th and 19th. It will rain. If it is raining, and if it is to get married, who can care about when it rains!"

Hao Yaoqi suddenly cursed.

Although he did not name the name, it was almost the same. Song Xiance immediately felt nervous and lowered his head.

Hao Yaoqi was originally the flag bearer in the rebellion army. Whenever he charged in the battle, he shook the flag. Such a person was fearless and fearless. He couldn't even hold on to the king of heaven when he got angry. He was a famous thorn in the Shun army. Song Xiance dared not confront Hao Yaoqi.

"Hey, does he think he is the Dragon Prince?"

I don’t know who it is, so I laughed strangely.

Song Xiance felt a sense of fear and said in his heart that he was unlucky. He was in good intentions, worried that it would be a rain to dirty Li Zicheng's boots. He thought that it would be harmless to enter the city one or two days later, and pretend to be a god or a ghost, and he could still show his ability. But when people carry it, they could even hold it and drink cold water. If they had known that the bandits had already gone north, they would give him ten courage, and they would not dare to come up with such bad ideas.

It just so happened that Li Zicheng looked at him dissatisfied.

Suddenly, Song Xiance knelt down with a plop and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

Niu Jinxing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Old Song has a good intention. Who knew that the boy's march was so hidden and the most urgent thing was to concentrate his troops so that he would not be caught off guard and defeated by them!"

"Get up and talk!"

Li Zicheng thought about it, and Song Xiance served as a military advisor. Among the civil servants of Shunchao, his status was second only to Niu Jinxing. Dealing with Song Xiance would not only cause turmoil, but also unstable people's hearts, so he waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Song Xiance hunched over and got up.

"What should we do now?"

Li Zicheng asked.

Niu Jinxing said: "Emperor, the ceremonial guards and baggage are mostly followed by the emperor into the northern city. It is inconvenient to move, so it is better to send an order and the entire army gathers in the northern city."

Liu Zongmin said unhatingly: "Did Nancheng and Outercheng give it to the rabbit husband for nothing?"

“Oh ~~”

Niu Jinxing sighed: "That's all. After all, the bandits came too quickly, and the soldiers were caught off guard. If they did not shrink in time, they would probably be defeated by them. And on the surface, the emperor gave half of Beijing to Li Xin, which was a loss, but at the same time, it was because he stood up and it was difficult for Li Xin to make unreasonable demands, unless he was shameless.

Secondly, from the current situation, it is slightly unfavorable to us, but both sides have the people of Beijing as their quality, so they must be cautious when taking action. We can take the opportunity to stabilize and mobilize other troops to help. Sooner or later, the boy can't hold on, either retreat or be defeated by the emperor."

"Yeah~~"

Li Zicheng nodded and said, "I will send an order and the entire army will retreat to the north of the city!"

"Abide by the order!"

Several personal soldiers rushed out!

...

"Emperor, the emperor, the bandits retreat to the northern city!"

In the Ganqing Palace, Wang Chengen rolled and cried, reporting the good news to Chongzhen.

"oh?"

Chongzhen stood up suddenly, and his uneasy heart slowly let go.

"Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Emperor, wuwuwu~~"

Wei Qinghui couldn't help but kowtowed to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen's family, including Zhou Hou, Concubine Yuan, Princess Changping, and Princess Zhaoren, had not had time to send out the palace, the two princes of Yongding, and even Queen Yi'an and Zhang, who had made exceptions, surrounded the Ganqing Palace, anxiously waiting for the news.

At this time, when the good news came, everyone cried with joy. Empress Yian wiped her tears and said, "I'm sorry, my ancestors have appeared. Your Majesty, you have to give Wu Sangui a generous reward this time!"

Chongzhen nodded repeatedly and asked, "Did you see Wu Sangui's soldiers?"

Wang Chengen hesitated and said, "It seems that there are soldiers from other places coming in. Because they are far away, I can't see it very much. Why don't I go and take a look again."

"No need, I will go to Chengtian Gate to see it myself!"

Chongzhen waved his hand violently.

Wang Chengen quickly advised: "The soldiers outside the palace are in chaos. The emperor must not let out lightly, so as not to avoid the soldiers being unaware of the heavenly face and shock the emperor!"

Chongzhen ignored Wang Chengen and shouted to Wei Qinghui: "Take my sword!"

Wei Qinghui quickly took off the imperial sword hanging on the wall, brushed away the dust from the scabbard with her long sleeves, and tied it to Chongzhen's waist.

Chongzhen waved his sleeves and walked outward. At this moment, he was full of energy. His sorrow and fear for several days disappeared, and he returned to the previous resolute, resolute and courageous emperor.

Wang Chengen had no choice but to recruit hundreds of young eunuchs and followed Chongzhen closely.

Chongzhen was not in a hurry to leave, and asked someone to lead a snow-white war horse, and then he stepped forward and ran towards Chengtian Gate with his reins.

In fact, Chongzhen was not a weak emperor, but he was still accustomed to martial arts. Occasionally, he would take his royal relatives to hunt. On the horse, he was covered with a dragon robe, which was majestic.

The queen, Queen Yi'an and Concubine Yuan looked at each other and shook their heads and smiled bitterly. The smile was filled with relief and joy.

They knew that Chongzhen was worried that Wu Sangui would become arrogant because of his favor and was in a difficult situation, so he wore a dragon robe to climb Chengtian Gate, so that Guanning soldiers could see clearly who was the lord of the Ming Dynasty and who was the lord of the world!

Chengtian Gate was facing Zhengyang Gate in the inner city gate. Soon, Chongzhen and his group climbed up to Chengtian Gate. The two gates were several miles apart. You could indeed see teams of Shun Army soldiers retreating to the north city. In the distance behind, following the cavalry in iron armor. At first glance, they were in the standard outfits of the Ming army, as if they were expelling the Shun Army. In addition, some Mongolian cavalry were mixed with the iron armored cavalry.

"How wonderful!"

Wang Chengen shouted: "I didn't expect that Wu Sangui actually invited the Mongolians, the emperor, don't worry now!"

Chongzhen stroked his beard and smiled slightly, staring at the busy soldiers below, but gradually, he found something was wrong. He said that the Mongols didn't know him and had a good relationship, but those Guanning Iron Cavalry would occasionally look up at the imperial city. Although they were wearing dragon robes, most of them looked indifferent. Even if someone paid attention, they also pointed their fingers very rudely.

When does this emperor do not exist?

Wang Chengen discovered that Chongzhen's face changed and thought it was not good. He hurriedly advised: "The emperor, the soldiers and generals under the city came from outside the pass, lacking education. When Wu Sangui entered the palace and knocked on the emperor, the emperor would hit him again."

Chongzhen couldn't wait and shouted, "You go and call Wu Sangui, I want to reward him, and then ask if Cao Huachun, Wang Dehua's two slaves really surrendered to the thief, and those slaves guarding the city, take them down first by Wu Sangui, and convict them!"

"I obey the order!"

Wang Chengen saw that Chongzhen needed to kill someone to vent his life in the past few days and was frightened and resentful. He did not dare to say too much. He gave a gift and took a few eunuchs to the city tower.

All the way, there were no ordinary people, all of them were hurried, with solemn soldiers, holding muskets, and black bayonets on their muzzles. This was not much the same as the Ming army's military equipment he remembered, but he didn't think much about it. After all, he was just a eunuch and didn't know much about foreign affairs, especially military affairs. His view on military affairs was still in the era of spears, bows and arrows, and at most some artillery was some.

‘Yeah~~’

Wang Chengen nodded secretly, he is worthy of being the Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the mighty soldier, Wang Chengen suddenly burst into tears and felt like he wanted to cry.

"Hey, why are you eunuch running around? Wherever you come from!"

Finally, Wang Chengen was noticed, and a cavalry general who looked like a small leader scolded him.

"Bold, this is the admiral of the Beijing camp, the eunuch, the eunuch, the prince..."

A little eunuch widened his eyes and scolded him. Wang Chengen immediately waved his hand and interrupted him, saying, "Has General Wu Sangui ever entered the city? Our family passed the emperor's oral order to General Wu!"
