On the tenth day of July, the third day.

On the Great Wall of Jizhou, on the Huangyakou Pass, torches were burning in the night wind, causing the insects to rush upwards.

Several old soldiers at the top of the city, holding spears, barely cheering up, stood beside the battlements, staring at the dark outside the city.

There were only insects and the whistling sound of the wind, everything was as usual.

Huangyakou is one of the important passes of the Jizhen Great Wall. There were a thousand officials garrisons earlier, but now only one hundred old people are left.

After the Songjin War, all the elite troops of the Ming army were lost. Except for Wu Sangui guarding Shanhaiguan, all the passes in Jizhen Great Wall were basically deserted.

"Old Liu, stare at me for a while, let's take a break and replace you!" An official army leaned against the city wall, holding the gun and preparing to take a nap.

The official army named Lao Liu had a broken arm, but was more shocked, "The Tartars killed so many of us in Songshan, and the court just killed the Secretary of Chen, who was about to negotiate peace. With the nature of the Tartars, they must enter the pass and rob us. Just be trapped. When the Tartars touched it, they will be defeated by one knife."

Lao Liu was an old army. He fought bravely in his early years, became a small flag officer and became a general's personal soldier. He had a bright future, but during the Battle of Beijing, he broke his arm and became a disabled person and ruined his future.

He was going to be removed from the army, but the general was thinking of his old love and asked him to stay in the baggage camp and be a leader of a miscellaneous soldier.

During the battle of Songshan, the general was driven into the sea by the Qing soldiers and drowned. Such a disabled person was promoted again and led a group of old and weak to guard Huangyakou, which was such an important pass.

The napping official army didn't care, "The Tartars are cold-resistant and not heat-resistant, so how could they invade in July? Besides, if the Tartars really want to invade, we, the defeated generals of the 100th, can withstand it. I'll sleep for a while, you should rest early!"

Old Liu sighed after hearing this, and saw several soldiers standing in the city fighting with their eyelids. They were almost falling down while standing. They couldn't figure out why the Ming Dynasty was like this.

The court added some babies who had never fought a war and sent them to face the vicious Tartars. Isn’t it a death or a sin?

"You guys, let's rest!" Old Liu said to several pawns who were as thin as bean sprouts.

"Tao Liu, it seems that there is someone under the lockdown!" A young man suddenly pointed outside and said.

Old Liu's heart was terrified, and he looked at it in a daze. It was pitch black and there was no abnormality. "Where?"

The pawn pointed, "It's right there, a ball of black, moving!"

The napping old man heard the words and felt energetic. He suddenly stood up and said in surprise: "There will be no wild boar~"

"Ah!" Before he finished speaking, an arrow under the city hit his throat with a "whisper" and the old man covered his throat with his hands, and blood flowed out from his fingers. He screamed and fell to the ground, and blood foamed in the corner of his mouth.

When Old Liu saw this, he was shocked, and at this moment, another arrow was shot into the throat by the small pawn pointing at the city.

"It's the Tartars!" Old Liu exclaimed quickly and shouted in a hurry, "Squat down quickly, there's a Sagittarius!"

"Swoosh" arrows shot up from the city, and the arrows were shot without any slightest. Before the shocked new soldiers could react, they were shot to death by five or six people, either in the throat or in the face.

The soldiers who reacted were so scared that they squatted under the walls and shivered.

At this time, a Qing soldier suddenly appeared on the top of the city and was about to turn over to the city. Old Liu saw the opportunity and held a knife in one hand and slashed the Qing soldier's shoulder, but failed to cut his armor.

The Qing army had a ferocious face, and Old Liu was furious. He quickly kicked the Qing soldiers off the ladder, then pulled out the torch, and shouted at the soldiers in the city, "Run quickly!"

While shouting, Lao Liu lit the ward with a torch. At this moment, Margoby jumped onto the top of the city, stabbed it through with a knife, and then kicked Lao Liu into the burning city tower with one kick.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, the Qing army opened the door at Huangyakou.

Yakesa collected the bow and arrow, followed the team and entered the pass. The Ming army's corpses fell all over the ground on the wall of the pass. The Ming army's corpses were also killed on the roads inside the pass.

If it were the past, when the Qing army entered the pass and saw these Ming army corpses, they would have to plunder them, stripped off their armor, and took away their weapons. But now the situation has changed. The Qing army is well-equipped and has long looked down on the Ming army like a beggar.

Yaquesa wore white cotton armor, rode a war horse, with quiver and bow hanging on the saddle, grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand and torch with the other. She followed the team and meandered forward in the Yanshan Mountains, like a huge fire snake.

On the 10th night of the seventh day of the 15th year of Chongzhen, tens of thousands of Eight Banners broke through Huangyakou and entered the city, and entered the barrier in large numbers. The next day, the Miyun, Jizhou, Yutian, Xianghe, and the martial law in the capital was strictly enforced. The hungry people outside the city were panicked and scattered, and tens of thousands of casualties were injured.

Abatai led his army into Northern Zhili, and Wu Sangui hurried at Shanhaiguan and did not dare to fight. Beijing closed the city gates and allowed the Qing army to plunder the surrounding areas.

...

In the city of Beijing and in the imperial city, Emperor Chongzhen fell into extreme fear.

The Qing army easily broke through the Great Wall defense line and entered the frontier in large numbers. The official army was unable to resist and could only hide in the city of Beijing.

At this time, in the imperial study, Chongzhen asked several cabinet ministers: "The Jiannu invaded and the troops arrived at the capital. How many cabinet masters have any countermeasures?"

The cabinet ministers had no choice but to say with shamelessness: "Your Majesty, Jiannu invaded the enemy to plunder money. When he was full of money, he would naturally lead his troops to retreat outside the pass. Your Majesty does not have to worry about the safety of the capital!"

Zhou Yanru's words were shameless, but the court had no choice but to take the Qing army.

If you can't fight, you can only let the Qing army return with great pleasure.

Chongzhen was furious, "Shameless! If so, what use do the people of the world want you? What use is the Ming Dynasty? Immediately issued an edict to raise troops from all over the country to help the king and drive Jiannu out of the pass!"

...

Hebei was destroyed and was looted by the Qing army several times. There was nothing to rob. Abatai did not come to Beijing, but followed Dorgon's order and led a large army to march southward, attacking Hejian all the way, and then divided his troops into Linqing and attacking Bazhou.

On the 20th, the entire Hejian area fell, and the assistant Zhao Hui, the senator Zhao Qi, the prefect Yan Yunshao, the magistrate Chen Sanjie and others were killed.

On the 25th, Abatai's army entered Shandong. After that, it defeated Fengxian, Yizhou, killed the magistrate Liu Guangxian, and entered Linzi. The magistrate Wenchang Shi's office was burned to death, attacked Denglai, and killed the magistrate Yan Kong Jia. He was invincible and broke more than 80 cities in a row.

...

Under Luoyang City, the red cannons of the autonomous army roared, smashing the bricks and stones in Luoyang City and filled with smoke and dust.

The soldiers of the autonomous army, like ants, rushed to the city of Luoyang with various equipment. Under the cover of cannons, stone throwers, and archers, the ants climbed the city. Soldiers kept falling down to the top of the city, and siege towers and stairs were constantly overturned.

At the city gate, hundreds of soldiers pushed the siege hammers and hit the city gate.

With a "bang", Wengcheng was knocked away, and the soldiers of the autonomous army immediately cheered loudly. Hao Yaoqi led hundreds of Chi Bei, staring at the shield, siege the city and rushing into Wengcheng.

At this time, in Wengcheng, the archers and bird gunmen of the rebel army fired arrows and shot guns from all directions. The autonomous army that entered Wengcheng fell to the ground one after another.

Hao Yaoqi rushed to the city gate and roared anxiously, "Push the siege quickly!"

Wengcheng is a trap in the city defense system. After the army breaks through Wengcheng and rushes into Wengcheng, it will be subjected to bows and arrows shot from all directions.

At this time, if we cannot quickly break through the city gate, all the soldiers and horses in Weng City will be shot to death by the defenders.

Nearly a hundred soldiers, wearing shields, pushed the siege thugs over in the rain of arrows. The soldiers pulled up ropes, causing the siege hammers to swing backwards.

There was a loud bang, and there was no movement in the city gate.

Hao Yaoqi is experienced and changed color suddenly, "Damn it, the city gate is blocked!"

The sound of gold sounded and the autonomous army siege retreated in the wild.

Gao Huan frowned in the autonomous army and the central army's tent.

The army besieged the city for nearly two months and lost thousands of soldiers, but they just couldn't take over Luoyang City.

Hao Yaoqi said angrily: "If it weren't for today, Tian Jianxiu blocked the city gate and his subordinates would definitely attack in!"

Gao Huan let out a breath of turbid breath, but he didn't expect Tian Jianxiu to be so tenacious. He had underestimated the third person in the rebel army before.

At this time, Gao Huan was thinking, when Gao Mingheng suddenly picked up the tent and said anxiously: "Chaoyang, I have something to discuss with you!"

Seeing his expression, Gao Huan waved, "You retreat first!"

Hao Yaoqi and other generals could only pick up their helmets and leave the big tent.

When Gao Mingheng saw everyone leaving, he said in a deep voice: "Jiannu entered Shandong and approached Kaifeng. I must withdraw my troops!"

Gao Huan was shocked when he heard the words, but said calmly on his face: "Have you threatened Kaifeng?"

Gao Mingheng said: "Liu Zeqing quickly asked for help, Jiannu has already captured Dongchang Prefecture!"

Gao Huan frowned, the Qing army broke through Dongchang, and crossed the Yellow River to Henan.
