Chapter 226
Capital of the Ming Dynasty!

"Kill! Kill! Kill with me!"

In the inner city and imperial city of the capital, countless thieves around have already launched a fierce attack on the gate of the inner city occupied by Dasheng soldiers.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

"Boom boom boom boom!!"

The only response to these thieves was countless guns, and batch after batch of thieves fell backward on the road of charge.

The number of thieves who are charging is decreasing each time.

In the end, on the way to the charge, there were all corpses in disorder.

"Damn it, I lost again!" Li Zicheng punched the stone wall hard.

It's been three days!
In three days, Li Zicheng said he had organized more than a dozen breakouts, but each time he was severely defeated by the enemy forces surrounding them.

In three days, they were besieged and lost thousands of people.

The number of people lost every day is 10,000+10,000+.

There were originally millions of them, but within these three days, more than 20 people were killed in battle, and the number of wounded was an unimaginably huge number.

Now, in the entire camp of thieves, there are less than 30 people who may continue to fight.

Now that they have been beaten to this point, many of them are no longer as crazy as they were at the beginning, but the same is true in war.

The Art of War says that once you make a big effort, you will be exhausted again and again!

The madness of the current thieves has also been defeated by these more than a dozen failed breakouts, and they have been beaten to pieces.

It's all like this now, these thieves are beginning to doubt whether they can break out of the siege.

And now the way they looked at Li Zicheng was not right.

Li Zicheng is not a fool either, of course he knows that these brothers who follow him wholeheartedly don't have much confidence in him now.

But what can he do, because the enemy army besieging them is too powerful, and they are completely different from the Ming army they usually deal with.

Moreover, no matter the opponent's combat effectiveness, morale, weapons and equipment, or tactics, they were not comparable to the Ming army they faced before.

Li Zicheng had already organized more than a dozen breakouts, but he was still trapped by the opponent with absolute crushing momentum, unable to escape.

Now, his men also suffered heavy losses, with numerous casualties, but all the enemy troops surrounding them were safe and sound.

Now Li Zicheng couldn't figure it out, all good things were fighting, how could this happen?

And these are not the most important, the most important thing is that they are now running out of food.

Before entering the capital, all their important supplies, such as food, were kept out of the warning.

But now, the troops staying in the camp outside the city have also been dispersed, and the supplies must have been seized.

Some of these brothers have not eaten for two days.

If it goes on like this, let alone breaking through, how can they still have the strength to take up arms?
"No, we can't wait like this any longer, we must find a way to break through first!" Li Zicheng gritted his teeth.

But now the generals behind Li Zicheng are at a loss.

Breakout?

It has been more than a dozen times, and all methods have been used, how can I break through?

The firepower of these enemy troops besieging them is too strong, they can't even get close to each other, and these enemy troops are still firmly occupying all the gates of the inner city.

Now they are completely dumped by others, and they are served in one pot!
Li Zicheng looked at Li Yan and said, "Didn't you say that Ximen's defense is weak, if we break through here, we will be able to escape? But why is it like this now? Tell me, what should we do now?"

After hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know that this time the Ming army will be so powerful, and the firepower will be so powerful."

"Now we have been out of food for two days. If we want to break through, I am afraid it is impossible."

Li Zicheng looked at Li Yan angrily, and asked, "Could it be that we are going to sit here and wait to die now?"

Li Yan said with a wry smile: "Now, I don't know what to do."

Li Yan's words made Li Zicheng even more dissatisfied, "Then what's the use of you?"

As he spoke, he held the knife and looked at Li Yan with a ferocious face, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to do? Do you want to kill my husband?"

At this time, Li Yan's wife, Hong Niangzi, couldn't sit still anymore, and walked out directly, blocking Li Yan's face, and was with Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng's face changed slightly, and the murderous look in his eyes was hidden. He snorted coldly and said, "I was just angry for a moment. I didn't say I wanted to kill him!"

The red lady said: "Your Majesty, the more critical this moment is, the more important it is for us to unite and overcome the current difficulties together first."

"If you can't sit still now and want to attack your brother, then all of us will lose our hearts, and we will only have a dead end."

What the red lady said finally calmed down Li Zicheng. He was indeed just momentarily angry and not angry just now.

There is nothing wrong with Hong Niangzi's words. Now is the critical moment. It is only reasonable for them to unite and overcome the difficulties in front of them.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng looked at Li Yan, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Li Yan, I'm sorry, I was reckless just now!"

Li Yan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I didn't take this matter to heart. I also understand that Your Majesty is just anxious now, but at this moment, it is useless to be anxious!"

"The most important thing for us now is to find a way out first."

"However, Li Yan has little talent and virtue, and he can't think of any good solutions at the moment. Li Yan is guilty!"

When Li Zicheng was about to say something, suddenly, a burst of fragrance wafted from all directions, making Li Zicheng stop what he wanted to say.

"Where does this smell come from?"

The army has been without food for two days now, and even Li Zicheng himself has not eaten for a day.

But why is there still a scent now?And the smell is obviously meaty.

He hurried out to have a look, and then he knew where the scent came from, not from their barracks, but from the enemy army at the gate of the inner city.

Li Zicheng couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and looked at the gate of the inner city.

At this time, a voice came from the gate of the inner city: "People inside, listen carefully, now you should stop desperately resisting and surrender!"

"There is only one way for you to go, don't make unnecessary sacrifices, maybe some of you have not eaten for several days?"

"We have enough food here, as long as you surrender!"

"Besides, our general said that only the culprit will be punished, and the rest will be acquitted!"

"Those who surrender can also get the land. They will not pay taxes for five years. After five years, they will pay one tax for twenty!"

"And we will also distribute food for half a year, ensuring that you will not go hungry within half a year!"

"We also guarantee that those who surrender will not be harmed in any way and will be properly resettled, because you are also forced to have no choice but to kill only the culprit, and the rest will be innocent!"
