I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

After leaving some troops behind to continue suppressing the bandits, Hong Chengchou and Chen Qiuyu led their troops across Shanxi and headed to the capital to support the king.

And the fact turned out to be just as Hong Chengchou had expected. Soon after he led his troops away, problems appeared in the bandit suppression situation.

However, Hong Chengchou left behind some troops.

However, after losing his effective command, the rebel army quickly escaped the encirclement, crossed the Yellow River and entered Shanxi.

After learning that the Later Jin army was approaching the capital, not only Hong Chengchou and Chen Qiuyu in Shaanxi began to lead their troops into Beijing to defend the king.

People from other places also led their troops and rushed towards the capital, including Qin Liangyu who was far away in Sichuan, and Yuan Chonghuan in Shanhaiguan.

"Your Majesty, I, Zhao Lujiao, will serve you and the Ming Dynasty with all my loyalty."

However, Zhao Lujiao did not think of dodging. Instead, he tried his best to mobilize the energy in his body and slashed at Ajige diagonally with a knife.

"Dang Dang Dang"

“Well, that’s not right, what is it, your vitality is stronger, or my divine power is weaker?

You are strong and I am weak, right?"

Zhao Lujiao smiled bitterly, turned his long sword over, and thrust it fiercely into the ground in front of him, barely supporting his body to prevent himself from falling.

Zhao Lujiao only felt a shock in his spirit, and the world around him became different.

This made Zhao Lushio dazed for a moment. With public resentment rising and national fortune declining, was the Ming Dynasty really going to perish?

However, Zhao Lujiao suddenly reacted. He didn't care whether the Ming Dynasty was going to perish or not. He just needed to know that he had to fulfill his duties as a general and a minister.

When he got closer, a cold light flashed in Zhao Lujiao's eyes, and he suddenly swung out with the long sword in his hand.

"kill!"

However, although Ajige was shocked, he reacted quickly. He raised the long sword in his hand violently, and the newly emerged special power in his body - divine power, suddenly poured into the long sword.

Zhao Lujiao took advantage of the rebound to quickly put away his sword and looked at Ajige opposite him with some surprise.

At the same time, he ordered General Zhao Lushi, who is in charge of pacifying Liao, to lead 4,000 troops to rush to Zunhua, hoping to stop the Later Jin army in Zunhua.

However, although he was a little hesitant, he still gathered his troops as soon as possible and led the team to Beijing to support the king.

Ajige was so angry that he almost fumed. He immediately forgot what had happened just now and rushed forward with his big knife in hand.

"Ding Dong!"

However, since you are of no use to me, I'd rather you die.

The knife was as powerful as thunder and as fast as lightning, making a sound of tearing the air.

In an instant, Ajige was blown off his horse and fell heavily several feet away.

However, General Zhu Guoyan was unwilling to let Zhao Lujiao enter the city.

"Puff puff"

Zhao Lushi held a broadsword in his hand and charged back and forth in the Later Jin army, killing countless enemy soldiers.

"Tsk~!"

Although he was already feeling timid, he would rather lose the battle than the enemy. Ajige circulated his divine power to relieve the numbness and pain in his hands, and roared in the same unyielding manner.

No matter how Zhao Lujiao knocked on the gate, Zhu Guoyan refused to let anyone open it.

A loud noise suddenly spread out, causing the surrounding soldiers to become somewhat deafened.

Otherwise, Huang Taiji could really use this opportunity to kill him.

Huang Taiji, who saw all this from a distance, had a strange look in his eyes, but he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

But at the same time, the endless gray-black air also entangled and descended, wrapping around him and his weapon, interfering with his spirit and attack.

The long sword that Zhao Lujiao swung out suddenly burst out with a dazzling light that was a mixture of black, gray, bright yellow, and dark red, and turned into a sharp sword light that slashed out in an instant.

However, Zhao Lujiao had already put life and death aside. After being suppressed by the two men, he immediately launched a more violent attack. He did not even bother to look at the attacks from Ajige and the other man, and just kept attacking desperately without caring about his life.

Strands of energy from heaven and earth flowed, the sky was filled with a faint bright yellow glow mixed with countless gray and black air, while the area around them was red.

For a moment, Zhao Lushi felt only as if he was seeing many illusions before his eyes. Countless people were poor and destitute, living from day to day in danger, and were filled with dissatisfaction and resentment towards the Ming Dynasty.

Instinctively, Zhao Lujiao followed the sensation in his heart, and integrated his spirit into the chopping action in some mysterious way.

Ajige suddenly widened his eyes, looking at the sword light that was suddenly flashing in front of him in disbelief. Although he tried his best to dodge sideways, he was still cut on the right arm by the sword light.

Seeing the power of the knife, Ajige couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, horrified in his heart, wondering how there could be such a fast knife.

Looking at the overwhelming rain of arrows, Manggurtai and Ajige both changed color. Huang Taiji had such a cruel heart. Was he going to shoot them to death here?

At the first moment, the two of them burst out their divine power and retreated violently.

However, Zhao Lushi, who came in a hurry, was directly ambushed by the Later Jin army.

However, he had no intention of backing down.

Seeing Zhao Rushio's bravery and invincibility, Ajige couldn't help but frown. He kicked his horse hard and rushed towards Zhao Rushio.

Now let us compare, is my vitality stronger, or is your mountain god power weaker."

"Huh~? You also mastered the vitality?!"

After a long while, Manggurtai, who had two arrow feathers stuck in his body, and Ajige, who was chopped away but only had one arm broken, staggered to their feet and looked at each other. They could see fear and hatred in each other's eyes.

Zhao Lujiao looked at the Later Jin army rushing towards him and felt a chill in his heart. He was in danger this time.

"Okay! Let's compete and see who is stronger."

"Mang Gurtai, the Ming general is vicious, this Khan orders you to assist Ajige in taking him down."

Although he was unwilling in his heart, Manggurtai knew that the two armies were now at war and he could not disobey the orders from Huang Taiji.

As if they were in sync with each other, Zhao Lujiao knew their names, the energy of heaven and earth, the people's grievances, the country's destiny, and the iron-blooded murderous aura of the army.

In an instant, the wind and clouds surged, and the energy of heaven and earth, the destiny of the country, and the surrounding iron-blooded evil spirit were all mobilized and integrated into this attack.

On November 4, Zhao Lujiao finally arrived in Zunhua.

Ajige's hands trembled slightly, and he looked at Zhao Lujiao with forced calmness, and said with disdain:

"What vitality? I was blessed by the God of Changbai Mountain and possess the power of the God of Mountain."

"Dang~!"

A great battle broke out outside Zunhua with the main force of the Later Jin Army led by Huang Taiji, the Ajige tribe.

The overwhelming rain of arrows and the enemies in front of him made Zhao Lujiao concentrate his mind highly. The dangerous sense of impending death squeezed out every potential of his.

Zhao Lujiao opened his eyes wide, faced the west, whispered something with his lips, his breathing gradually became silent, and finally there was no life.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the two sides started fighting.

After talking for so long, it actually just happened in the blink of an eye.

However, after only three or two breaths, Ajige fell into a disadvantage again. Under Zhao Lujiao's attack, he was clumsy and on the verge of collapse.

The powerless Zhao Lujiao was covered by a rain of arrows, and his body was instantly pierced with arrows.

After hearing Huang Taiji's order, the archers couldn't help but hesitate.

As a result, Ajige and his companion, who were already restrained, were suppressed again by Zhao Lujiao, and the situation became dangerous for a while.

However, when they noticed Huang Taiji's cold eyes, they immediately became alert and no longer hesitated.

Looking at Ajige riding towards him, Zhao Lujiao was not afraid at all, but rode forward on his horse as well.

Especially Yuan Chonghuan, after receiving the news, his face turned pale.

In desperation, Zhao Lujiao had to lead his troops westward again.

After all, he didn't notice it and it was his fault.

Looking at Manggurtai's back, a cold light flashed in Huang Taiji's eyes.

His words were loud and domineering, and there was indeed some power and authority of a general from the Three Kingdoms period.

"This"

"Dang~!"

"Wow, General Ming is treacherous. Wait for me to chop off your head."

Seeing the situation on the battlefield, Huang Taiji couldn't help but cursed him as a waste, and then his eyes turned cold and he ordered coldly:

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Is it

Divine power, this Ming general actually also possessed divine power.

All this was said too late, but it was soon.

After looking at Zhao Lujiao who was standing still, the two of them walked forward cautiously. Only after they found that he had stopped breathing did they breathe a sigh of relief.

After reacting, Zhao Lujiao bit his tongue hard, and his spirit instantly perked up. He broke free from the impact of the people's resentment, and then took advantage of the moment of clarity to chopped down quickly with the long sword in his hand.

He originally wanted to enter Santunying to replenish food and supplies and take some rest.

"Hey~!"

Accompanied by the deafening sound of metal clashing, the two men stood together in a fierce battle.

"Haha, you're not that stupid"

"Tsk~, what mountain god power?

But I am too lazy to argue with you. Since you are talking about the power of the mountain god, then it is the power of the mountain god.

He had just told Chongzhen the strategy of pacifying Liao in five years, and right after that, Huang Taiji led his army into the pass. How could he explain this to Chongzhen?

Although he had only been in office for more than a year, although some of his policies were not so good, and although Huang Taiji also took a detour through Mongolia, bypassing Shanhaiguan, and bypassing the Guanning Line of Defense to enter the interior of the country.

After saying this, Zhao Lujiao rode his horse towards Ajige again.

“Humph, yes!”

Therefore, after Manggurtai snorted coldly, he responded loudly and casually, and rode his horse to charge into the army in front.

The Ming Dynasty was a vast country with abundant resources and produced many famous generals, which was incomparable to the Later Jin Dynasty.

It was only because the Ming emperor was incompetent and the court officials were corrupt that these famous generals were not given important positions.

But can the emperor understand him?

"General Ming, please stop being so arrogant. I will fight you."

"boom!"

However, it was too late to say anything now. He could only desperately mobilize the divine power in his body, and while quickly retreating, he also slashed with a fierce knife, trying his best to block Zhao Lujiao's attack.

They drew their bows and aimed at Zhao Lujiao, and then arrows rained down, covering an area several meters around Zhao Lujiao, leaving him with nowhere to escape or avoid.

After Zhao Lushi's death, the Ming army lost its effective leader and was quickly wiped out.

In just a moment, the long sword in Ajige's hand was cut off by the long sword light.

Zhao Shuaijiao led the army and marched day and night. In just three days and nights, they arrived at Santunying from Shanhaiguan.

"Hmph! Waste!"

But soon, he calmed down and just watched the battle in front of him with an expressionless face.

"laugh!"

As Zhao Lujiao shouted, the soldiers behind him also roared loudly. Although there was fear in their eyes, there was also determination.

Seeing Zhao Lujiao's actions, Ajige couldn't help but open his eyes wide and looked at Zhao Lujiao in horror.

at last

"Om~!"

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding."

Manggurtai and Ajige joined forces and finally put Zhao Lushi at a disadvantage.

The two beiles, Manggurtai and Ajige, are still near the enemy general.

"No, you're crazy, you lunatic."

But then Ajige reacted.

"Release the arrows and shoot the Ming general to death!"

The next moment, a rain of arrows fell.

"kill!"

Afterwards, Zunhua City, which had lost its reinforcements, was quickly captured by Huang Taiji, and continued to advance quickly towards Shuntian Prefecture.

After hearing about Zhao Rushio's deeds, Emperor Chongzhen could not help but feel sad and mournful. He then granted him relief and built a temple to worship him.

Next, Huang Taiji defeated all his enemies along the way, and Sun Zushou and Datong General Man Gui were all killed in battle outside the capital.
