...

Late at night, there were laughter and joy in both Tongguan City and Daying.

Suddenly, the earth shook faintly.

"Tread"

I saw dense crowds, like a vast sea of ​​fire coming from a distance.

If you look closely, it is not a sea of ​​fire, but a large army holding torches, and you can't see the end at first sight.

On the city wall.

Looking at the fierce army of treacherous robbers, Li Banghua couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and said:

"Duke of Wei, is the millions of troops who have broken into robbers coming?"

"What Yuan Zongdi said is true? The thieves really have millions of well-trained troops?"

Looking at the huge momentum of the millions of troops, Xu Da sighed:

"When Chen Youliang led an army of 600,000 to besiege Hongdu, Wen Zheng led only 20,000 people and held on for 85 days."

"If his temperament can be calmer, maybe..."

...

On the other side.

The King of Rebellion Li Zicheng looked at the heavily guarded Tongguan and the camp outside the city and took a deep breath.

Holding back the excitement in his heart, turning his head and asking:

"Mr. Song, do you think I want to attack Tongguan directly?"

Song Xiance shook his head and said seriously:

"King of Chuang, the army has not encountered tens of thousands of cavalry led by Yuan Zongdi along the way. Don't you think there is any problem?"

"Why, let's try first. If the situation changes, directly attack the city with artillery!"

Suddenly, a soldier ran over quickly and quickly reported:

"The King of Chuang, there are traces of artillery in front of him, General Yuan and the others may be in an accident."

Upon hearing this, Li Zicheng looked around and laughed:

"Now I have 600,000 cavalry, 400,000 elite infantrymen, and just one Tongguan. How can I stop my millions of troops?"

Seeing this, Song Xiance thought it was not good and quickly persuaded:

"King of Rebellion, don't underestimate the enemy!"

When Li Zicheng heard this, his smile dissipated slightly, ordered the army to stop and send Tian Jianxiu to surrender.

...

Tian Jianxiu rode a tall horse, and didn't even look at the camp, so he came straight to the city of Tongguan and shouted:

"Sun Chuanting, King Chuang Minger and others surrender quickly."

"Defend the city for one day, kill ten and three."

"Defend the city for two days, kill seven ten times."

"Defend the city for three days and slaughter the city!"

After the words came to a quiet moment in Tongguan City, no sound could be heard.

These 50,000 troops are all elites of the Ming Dynasty. How could a mere thief bewitched?

Duke Xu Da of Wei bent his bow and arrow, aiming at Tian Jianxiu.

"call out"

Tian Jianxiu felt a flash in front of her eyes, an arrow flew past her ears, subconsciously stretched out her hand, and touched her ears.

When he felt the blood in his hands, Tian Jianxiu was furious and immediately turned his horse's head, came to Li Zicheng, and said angrily:

"King of Chuang, Sun Chuanting's son refused to surrender, and he dared to provoke us like this."

Seeing this, Li Zicheng remembered the past when he was defeated by Sun Chuanting in the eleventh year of Chongzhen and led only eighteen cavalry to flee in a hurry.

At this moment, the new and old hatreds combined together made Li Zicheng lose his last patience and asked:

"Mr. Song, do you think I will break the camp first? Or will I break Tongguan first?"

Song Xiance looked at the Tongguan city wall from afar and said slowly:

"The King of Chuang, Yuan Zongdi and tens of thousands of cavalry could not have disappeared for no reason. Even if they were defeated, they should have a living person."

"In case, we will use artillery to break through Tongguan first. At that time, we will wave our hand to destroy it."

Li Zicheng thought about it carefully and found it made sense, so he ordered people to bring all the cannons.

Soon, hundreds of artillery captured from the Ming army were pushed into front of the formation.

"Boom boom boom"

For a moment, the deafening sound of artillery sounded through the sky.
