Li Zicheng's adopted son Li Shuangxi rode a maroon war horse with two hundred cavalry, suppressing the two embarrassed Ming vassal kings. He stood in the open space a hundred steps away from Fucheng Gate, squinting his eyes.

Looking out over the city.

Of course, you don't need 200 people to escort two weak lords. Li Shuangxi alone is enough. Therefore, the purpose of Li Shuangxi bringing 200 people is not to escort anyone, but to find an opportunity to "call the city".

The so-called "calling the city" is actually a means of attacking the city. Instead of fighting, you use intimidation or inducement to break the city. To carry out the "calling the city" operation, you must be able to get close to the enemy's city, and you must be in the enemy's city.

The party should approach without firing cannons. Otherwise, the sound of cannons and cannons will be so loud that no one can hear what you are shouting. Therefore, usually, "calling the city" is done at night.

But today is an exception. Calling the city and Du Xun entering the city are both part of Gu Junen's plan to attack the enemy's heart and can be carried out at the same time.

As long as Emperor Chongzhen had illusions about the peace talks, Li Shuangxi could ask his subordinates to go up and speak out. He could lure the soldiers guarding the city with heavy rewards and at the same time use his bluff to intimidate them. And Du Xun could even contact the officials and eunuchs in the city,

Promote the benevolence and righteousness of King Chuang.

With such a two-pronged approach, the already panic-stricken city of Beijing will surely collapse without an attack!

Li Shuangxi felt indescribably proud when he thought of breaking the city of Beijing! King Chuang had no biological son, only a nephew Li Guo who was several years older than King Chuang. And who will succeed King Chuang a hundred years from now?

There is no conclusion yet.

If Li Guo died before King Chuang, then compared with Li Guo's son, his adopted son, His Highness Qian, might have the possibility of ascending the throne - after all, Li Shuangxi was not the child picked up by King Chuang, he was also King Chuang's.

Sons and nephews, but the blood relationship is farther than that of Li Guo...

Maybe Li Shuangxi will be Emperor Taizong of Dashun in the future!

"Brothers who broke into the army..."

When Li Shuangxi was thinking about how to become Emperor Taizong in the future, a body with half a helmet and armor suddenly poked out from behind the crenellation of the Fucheng Gate Archery Tower, and he was still shouting: "The lower official is Zhu Chunchen, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, Mr. Du

I have already entered the palace to see the Holy Sage. If our two families stop fighting, we will soon be ministers of the same palace... Now can you please invite the Qin and Jin vassals to come forward and speak?"

Success! Li Shuang was dissatisfied and won the city of Beijing! The officials in the imperial court are stupid and easy to deceive!

He waved his hand and said to the left and right: "Take the two kings of Qin and Jin up to the moat."

The cavalry who followed him were all veterans of city calling. They were already eager to try. When they heard his order, they responded with a bang and then rode forward one after another.

However, Li Shuangxi did not participate in the city call. He was the future Emperor Taizong of Dashun and had to respect his identity, so he just looked at the Fuchengmen Gate Tower with a smile.

Just as the Dashun cavalry calling for the city lined up and approached the moat, but before they had time to call for the city, the Ming Dynasty's commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp suddenly leaned out half of his body again, holding an unknown object in his hand.

He shouted: "The traitor Du Xun has been killed! Our soldiers in the Beijing camp will defend the Ming Dynasty to the death! The Ming Dynasty will be victorious..."

What? What's going on? Du Xun has been killed?

Li Shuangxi couldn't believe his ears. Before he could react, a new incident happened.

Three hundred dark "fire sticks" suddenly protruded from the crenellations of the city wall!

This is... a firecracker!

Li Shuangxi was shocked and wanted to order a retreat. But it was too late. Three hundred fire cannons roared almost at the same time!

This is not a low-quality fire gun made in Beijing, but a high-quality fire gun ordered by Zheng Zhilong from Guangdong - of course, it doesn't cost a lot of money, but the stuff is definitely good! Not only will it not explode, but it will also be angry.

The tightness is also very good, but the recoil force is too great, so it must be mounted on a bracket or a wall crenel to hit accurately.

So the first salvo of these 300 turtle-dove-footed fire cannons knocked down forty or fifty veteran soldiers of the invading army! Some of them were hit, and they were basically dead! What is the caliber of the turtle-dove-footed fire cannons?

! One shot left a bloody hole as big as a fist, and even resuscitation was unnecessary. For other people, their horses were knocked over, and both the people and the horses fell to the ground.

"You've fallen into the trap, hoohoo!" As soon as Li Shuangxi shouted, something even more terrifying happened.

Suddenly there was a roar like the sky falling and the earth falling from the top of Fuchengmen City!

Rumble, rumble...

Six red cannons fired at the same time!

At this time, Li Shuangxi even forgot about escaping. He quickly turned around and looked nervously at the yellow felt tent behind him. He saw only a few small black dots streaking across the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then suddenly appeared in front of the yellow felt tent.

It fell, then suddenly bounced up and swept forward. One of them seemed to have hit the felt tent and swept down a corner of the felt tent. Another cannonball passed through the middle of the soldiers of King Chuang's imperial camp arrayed beside the tent.

After passing through, more than a dozen rows of people were knocked over in one go!

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng..."

The soldiers on the city wall cheered!

Although they did not support the Ming Dynasty, they even looked forward to Li Zicheng's arrival. However, considering the hard work of one tael of silver a day, it was still necessary to shout a few times.

And Li Zicheng might have been beaten to death! If that were the case, they would have to continue to be good officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and good people!

"What a pity!" Zhu Cixi held up the telescope and saw the chaos in front of the yellow felt tent. He also saw a large group of people protecting a guy in a red cloak running towards the Diaoyutai.

Needless to say, this "red cloak" must be Li Zicheng, the King of Chuang. Seeing how fast he ran, you knew he was not injured.

"Rewards!" Zhu Cixi then shouted loudly, "The gunners will be rewarded with five taels each! The gunners will be rewarded with two taels each! The gunners will be rewarded with one tael each!"

Although Li Zicheng was not killed, the first round of shelling did hit the felt tent! The reason why Li Zicheng could not be killed was because the shells were not good. If there were exploding shells, Li Zicheng would be in danger. However, if this round of shelling continues, Li Zicheng should be frightened.

You should also know that Beijing is not easy to fight.

"Bah, bah, bah..."

Another round of gunfire sounded, and the eunuch gunners fired their second round. The fixed ammunition obviously accelerated their rate of fire, allowing them to fire another round before Li Shuangxi's men retreated to a safe distance.

Ammunition. The results of this battle were much smaller. They only knocked down a dozen people. Most of them were cavalrymen whose horses were killed and injured before. But it still made Li Shuangxi feel distressed. Those were all old soldiers.

!It hurts to kill one person, but this time he actually killed dozens of people. It’s really hateful.

However, Li Shuangxi soon forgot about his heartache, because the six red cannons on the Fuchengmen archery tower opened fire again! Another six solid bullets rolled and drew arcs in the air, and then slammed down the yellow

The Dashun officers and soldiers who were in chaos around the felt tent did not know whether they had hit the Dashun Emperor Li Zicheng?

If his godfather Li Zicheng dies, where will his Da Shun Emperor Taizong be fooled?

Worried about Li Zicheng's safety, Li Shuangxi quickly turned his horse around and ran back. When his men saw him running away, no one wanted to stay outside Beijing anymore, and they all ran away together. They actually forgot that they were still there.

He was escorting two captured Ming Dynasty vassal kings!

The two princes Zhu Cunji and Zhu Shenxuan were also very lucky. Even when they were caught by Li Zicheng, they were not killed. They were dragged to the gate of Beijing and shot with half a stick of incense. These two guys were paralyzed with fear and could not even hide.

I had forgotten about the gunshots, but I knew that they were sitting on the ground and crying loudly, but in the end they were safe and sound - they were all wearing the prince's uniforms, and the soldiers who were firing on the city wall all recognized them, so naturally they would not target them.

However, the two pampered princes were so frightened that their legs and feet were weak, and they could not walk on the road. In the end, a few soldiers from the Beijing camp were put down in hanging baskets on the top of the city, and they were carried across the moat on their heads and feet.

Then he put it in a basket and lowered it into Beijing city.

Zhu Cixi won the first battle this time! Not only did he kill dozens of elite thieves, but also killed Du Xun, who had betrayed his country and surrendered to the enemy, and he also rescued two useless feudal lords. Thinking about it, he was very wise and martial!
