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

Although Sun Zushou and Man Gui both died in the subsequent defense of the capital.

However, their spirit of holding on to their posts and fighting to the death greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army, causing Huang Taiji's several attacks to all fail.

On the contrary, it was under Yuan Chonghuan's command that Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge almost died in battle.

It was under such circumstances that Chongzhen summoned Yuan Chonghuan into the city and put him in prison.

For a while, the army led by Yuan Chonghuan was in panic.

After receiving this news, Zu Dashou even immediately led his army back and wanted to return to Shanhaiguan.

However, he was dissuaded by Sun Chengzong halfway through.

According to prior estimates, it would be more than enough to capture Zhenyuan Pass.

The Tumed soldiers who rushed to the top of the city wall were no match for their opponents and were killed on the spot.

Seeing this, Lin Danhan couldn't help but curse angrily.

However, since he had already come here, he naturally could not just retreat. Since he could not annihilate the rescue troops outside the city, he could only attack by force. Anyway, there were only about a hundred people in the rescue troops.

Faced with the besieging Tumed cavalry, Wang Erniu and others did not show any mercy. They just fired continuously and quickly killed those who rushed the fastest.

Although Wang Erniu and others kept killing them, their numbers were too small and some people began to climb up the city wall.

"clap clap"

When everything was ready, in January of the third year of Chongzhen, when the Later Jin army was withdrawing, Wang Chao brazenly led his troops eastward and captured Qingyang Prefecture in one fell swoop.

And this time, he sent his entire army forward.

It is really not easy to defend against the 20,000-strong army led by Ligdan Khan.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Danhan decided to go back and study it further. Now the priority is to completely wipe out this group of people's salvation army and then plunder Zhenyuan Pass.

"kill!"

However, who would have known that the commander of Zhenyuan Pass was so crazy that he actually colluded with Ligdan Khan of the Tatar Tumed and attacked him from both inside and outside.

Even the armor they wore and the long swords they raised were easily cut off, broken, and then killed by the Salvation Army.

However, in reality, this is not the case.

But even so, he no longer had the heart to participate in the defense of the capital, and could only say that he would not rebel.

When he said this, a fiery glow flashed in Lindan Khan's eyes. He would also be able to obtain that powerful musket.

He had no choice but to go eastward in January of the third year of Chongzhen, carrying the spoils of this entry into the pass, and once again conquered several cities and went out of the pass.

Afterwards, Wang Erniu relied on Zhenyuan Pass and launched a fierce battle with 20,000 Tatar Tumed cavalry.

In just a short period of time, the rescue army broke through the pass and occupied the city.

In the end, Lin Danhan decided to lead 20,000 troops and conspire with the commander of Zhenyuan Pass to join forces with Wang Erniu to rescue the people.

With a slight sigh, Wang Erniu moved his mind, and the card glowed slightly, then turned into a light curtain the size of an A4 paper.

He had long been coveting the rifles of the People's Salvation Army.

"Bang bang."

It would be best if you could find someone to imitate it.

Then in March of the third year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan was tortured to death by slicing.

This is a new feature added to the Heaven and Earth Status Card, which allows you to send messages to people you are connected with, allowing them to deliver messages faster and avoid delays in messaging.

While Huang Taiji entered the Pass and various armies went to Beijing to defend the king, the dynasty's salvation army was also not idle.

Seeing this scene, Wang Erniu's face changed, and he directly sent out more than 80 people to temporarily block the Tatar Tumed cavalry.

By this time, all the bullets had been used up.

"Pfft!"

In the following month, Huang Taiji attacked the capital several times, but all ended in failure.

However, these minor losses were worth it in order to obtain this new type of musket and plunder Zhenyuan Pass.

At this moment, in the whole of Shaanxi, except for the few troops left by Hong Chengchou and the border areas of Ningxia and Yulinwei, there was basically no military force.

Looking at Wang Erniu and others who rushed into the city, Lin Danhan's face looked a little ugly, and he kept cursing the Zhenyuan Pass defender as a waste.

However, in fact, even so, the Salvation Army was often able to capture one city after another.

Standing on the top of the city wall, while organizing everyone to shoot, Wang Erniu also had an idea in his mind and summoned his general status card.

Looking at the towering capital city, Huang Taiji sighed.

The commander of Zhenyuan Pass originally wanted to open the city gate and let the Tumed army led by Ligdan Khan enter the city.

The situation did not change until Wang Erniu led less than a hundred people to attack Zhenyuan Pass, the northernmost point of Ningxia Wei.

He led twenty soldiers to rescue the people and intensified the attack on Zhenyuan Pass.

"bang bang bang"

But at this time, Wang Erniu became a little proud. It was really that the Ming army seemed too weak facing the Salvation Army and could hardly match them.

Most importantly, they might be able to seize the weapons of the Salvation Army.

Without saying a word, Wang Erniu mobilized his forces, pushed open the city gate with force, and shot and killed the gate guards with a few shots.

During the battle, the city wall of the People's Salvation Army was once breached by the army. It was only after Wang Erniu and others fought desperately that they drove the Tumed soldiers back out of the city.

"Kill!"

As Wang Erniu led his men into the city, the battle in the city could be declared over.

Lin Danhan looked at the rescue soldiers falling one after another on the city wall, and an excited smile began to appear on his face.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Erniu led everyone into Zhenyuan Pass, then slammed the gate shut and rushed into the city.

Fumbling with the bolt, Lin Danhan whispered to himself, wondering if he had to load the gunpowder from the back.

The steel knives forged with new steel are extremely tough and sharp, coupled with their unparalleled strength and incredible speed.

Originally, Khan Lin thought that once the army climbed to the top of the city wall and the two sides engaged in close combat, the rescue troops would soon be unable to hold on.

However, when he learned that there were only more than a hundred people in the rescue army this time, he was finally tempted. This was a rare opportunity for revenge, and he could also take the opportunity to enter Ningxia and plunder.

By the end, even Wang Erniu felt extremely exhausted, not to mention the ordinary rescue soldiers, more than twenty to thirty of whom had died, and everyone was injured.

After the two sides engaged in close combat, the killing efficiency of the Salvation Army was even higher than before.

Wang Ziyi and others were led by the agricultural cooperative and shadow personnel to the easternmost part of Shaanxi, then crossed the Yellow River and entered Shanxi.

What a pity! If he continues to stay here, with various armies coming to Beijing to support the king, it will be too late for him to leave.

The two sides immediately engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat.

In the end, naturally, there was no response.

Therefore, the army quickly attacked the city and began to hide under the horse-drawn carts to dig at the wall, or raised their sickles and prepared to climb up the wall.

"Attack. They only have a hundred men. Attack with all our might. Take down Zhenyuan Pass in one fell swoop and seize the muskets of the rescue army."

Some of the rifles were not damaged in time and were seized by Ligdan Khan.

After receiving the secret letter of contact, Lin Danhan fell into deep hesitation.

"Wow."

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, he immediately organized people to launch an attack on the city.

However, this is insignificant compared to the 20,000-strong army.

The career of Yuan Chonghuan, the anti-Qing general who was both praised and criticized in later generations, has come to an end.

Their physical fitness is indeed much better than that of ordinary people. They have true energy in their bodies and even possess some supernatural powers.

Before that, the defense of Zhenyuan Pass would have to rely on these hundred people.

But in the end, he was shot dead by Wang Erniu.

In just a few moments, at least three or four hundred people fell.

He called up the list of his generals, began editing text, and issued orders, asking them to gather and come to Zhenyuan Pass for support.

They can also get tired, and can be injured or die from being stabbed or knives.

As the siege became more intense, Wang Erniu and others finally began to get injured.

The truth is that their numbers are too small, scattered on the four walls, with only about twenty people on each side. How can they resist the siege of 20,000 troops?

What's more, they didn't have many bullets left.

Haha, they finally defeated the People's Salvation Army, although the losses were heavy.

By the time the sun was about to set, there were only about twenty of them left, trapped tightly on the western city wall.

After some thought, he decided to divide his troops and advance.

However, although Wang Erniu relied on the heavenly and territorial status cards, he issued an order to gather reinforcements.

There were not many Ming troops left, and all the rebel forces entered Shanxi.

Wang Erniu led his troops out of Jinglu Guard and entered Ningxia Guard, also defeating all the enemies along the way.

Wang Erniu himself led the way, braving the Ming army's arrow attacks and rushing directly to Zhenyuan Pass, mobilizing the iron-blooded murderous spirit of hundreds of men, as well as some of the national destiny he could mobilize, and slashed straight down along the crack in the door.

Well, this shows his importance, or even awe, for the People's Salvation Army.

Just as Lin Danhan was imagining that his troops, each armed with a rifle, were invincible, roaming the grasslands, destroying the Later Jin Dynasty, and restoring the glory of their ancestors, he suddenly heard a series of gunshots from the south of Zhenyuan Pass.

In this way, from the time the sun rose in the morning to the time the troops were called back at noon, the Tumed army lost nearly two to three thousand people and failed to capture the city wall.

"Hahaha, attack! Attack! Attack!"

He really hated the Salvation Army, but at the same time, he was also extremely afraid of it. He knew this from his battles with the Salvation Army.

Of course, he also had other considerations. What if there were more than a hundred rescue troops?

So, when Wang Erniu led his army to attack Zhenyuan Pass, a large number of Tumed cavalry suddenly appeared around and began to attack them.

Lin Danhan imitated the people's rescue army, raised his gun, aimed at Wang Erniu and others, and pulled the trigger.

The Salvation Army is not comparable to ordinary armies and is far beyond the reach of the Tumed army.

Although he quickly wiped out the internal forces, the 20,000 troops outside were not so easy to resist.

The commander of Zhenyuan Pass saw that cities in various places were lost one after another, and they were probably powerless to resist.

By that time, his Tatar Tumed will also have this powerful musket, and he will make those rebellious Mongolian tribes and the Jurchens of the Later Jin Dynasty kneel down and call them daddy.

But, that will take time after all.

In the early days, it still took hundreds of people to attack a city, but later on, even dozens of people dared to attack a city.

However, they have not deviated from the limits of the human body, otherwise their Qi Refining would not be at the ordinary level.

Thinking of the exciting thing, Lin Danhan excitedly waved his sword and shouted, urging everyone to launch an attack.

In this way, their previous plan would fail.

After all, he was also afraid that the Salvation Army would come to support him.

With two dull sounds, the gate bolt was directly chopped off.

Originally each man had 100 rounds of bullets, but after a series of battles, only 20 to 30 rounds are left.

At that time, it would not be him who led his troops to besiege the People's Rescue Army, but he would be annihilated by the People's Rescue Army.

He would have to hold out for at least a day before he could receive reinforcements from a large number of militiamen and completely annihilate the invading enemy.

At the last moment, he even contacted Ligdan Khan of the Tumed tribe of the Tatars outside the Great Wall, intending to conspire with him to wipe out Wang Erniu's troops.

"Tsk~!"

The crisp and distant sound of gunfire came from afar.

To the ears of Lin Danhan and others, it sounded no less than the roar of the devil and the call of hell.
