Chapter 444

Daming capital, the end of May.

The three-way anti thief finally reached the bottom of the city. Although the capital is large, it is still surrounded by three floors outside the anti thief.

It can be seen to what extent the number of anti thieves has increased.

Indeed, looking around, the barracks outside the capital are endless, and the black heads are dense like a black ocean. This is still not the case.

Nevertheless, the garrison on the wall just looked at it and didn't have the slightest resistance. All civil and military officials began to plan their future in despair.

Although it was three years ahead of schedule, the ending did not seem to have changed much. It was just that the capital was broken in one day. There was no way to know how to break it.

As in history, Chongzhen, who was haggard, fulfilled the oath of the Ming Dynasty at the moment when the city was broken. The emperor guarded the gate of the country and the king died.

First, she killed empress Zhou, then cut off all her concubines and princesses, sent away her three sons, and finally hanged herself in the coal mountain.

As the thief army rushed into the palace, countless palace maids and eunuchs made a mess and ran for their lives, while a group of civil servants knelt in front of the Palace door to meet them.

However, looking at the three kings riding high horses and wearing yellow cloaks, they didn't know who to meet. For a moment, no one spoke first.

"Ha ha, you dog officials also have today. What about Chongzhen's children?"

Niu Er glanced at the civil servants who were kneeling on the ground and laughed.

Luo Rucai and Liu Zongmin were not happy when they saw that Niu Er stole the limelight, so they didn't stop and directly patted the horse towards the Meridian Gate.

As soon as Niu Er saw it, he was anxious. He was not willing to be wordy here. He hurried to catch up with his pro guards.

The three kings were killed directly to the Huangji hall, and all their men were killed towards the back palace.

Rob women and kill men. Soon, there was an earth shaking cry of killing in the whole palace. Obviously, the three parties clashed in order to rob the beauty and treasure in the palace.

This kind of conflict was not stopped, but more and more people joined. Finally, it was inevitable to spread from the palace city to the Imperial City, then the inner city, the outer city, and all the way to the camp outside the city.

At this time, in the Jinluan hall, the three kings had no time or energy to control the shouting and killing sound from outside, because the three people and their personal guards were also fighting to the death.

Liu Zongmin was one step too fast. He was the first to enter the Jinluan hall. He sat down on the Dragon chair. Luo Rucai, who was panting, had not spoken yet. Niu Er took a knife and killed him in. Pointing to Liu Zongmin, he shouted, "roll down for me. This position is not for you."

"Ha ha, Niu Er, you're late. I've already sat on the Dragon chair. I'm the real dragon king..."

At this time, Liu Zongmin was obviously crazy. He sat on the Dragon chair and shouted wildly.

"Die!" Niu Er suddenly wanted to crack his eyes and rushed up with his knife.

"Come on, today I will use your head to pay tribute to my country..."

Liu Zongmin drew his knife and greeted them. They immediately killed each other, and their pro guards fought to the death.

In the face of the Dragon chair, Luo Rucai was also unwilling to show weakness. The three men and horses fought in a scuffle. They all cared only for their own side, and soon there was a river of blood in the hall.

Luo Rucai's martial arts are worse because he is old. Seeing that there are not many pro guards left, he knows that if he continues to fight, he may not be able to sit on the Dragon chair and lose his life. He has to be unwilling to ask the pro guards to rush out.

Niu Er and Liu Zongmin were equal, and their subordinates seemed to dare not intervene in the dispute between them, subconsciously avoiding them.

The scuffle lasted from noon to late at night. There were startling shouts and screams everywhere in the capital for dozens of miles.

Although most of the people in the city were confined to their homes for self-protection for the first time, there were still countless people affected. Some soldiers were red eyed and rushed into the city to start looting. Plus the people who took advantage of the fire, the whole capital was like purgatory on earth, and corpses could be seen everywhere.

It was not until dawn the next day that the cry for killing gradually subsided.

Liu Zongmin finally lost to Niu Er and escaped from the palace under the protection of Pro guards.

Although Niu Er controlled the imperial city and the inner city, the outer city was still not controlled, but he finally got his wish and sat on the Dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, for today's plan, you should quickly occupy all the outer cities, and then gather the troops and horses to completely eliminate Liu Zongmin and Luo Rucai."

Until the end of the war, song xiance didn't know where he came out and hurried to the palace.

"Well, if you don't take care of what the military division said, wait until you eliminate these two stumbling blocks before you ascend the throne."

Niu Er felt the Dragon chair reluctantly, got up and walked down the steps. Then he turned back and asked, "by the way, military division, did you catch Chongzhen?"

"This... Yesterday was too chaotic. This subordinate doesn't know for the time being, but I think most of them died in the chaotic army." Song xiance replied the scoundrel.

"What about the queen and princess? Did you catch it? " Niu Er looked at the heroes in the hall.

"Back to the king, even if you catch it, you can't tell who is the queen and who is the princess. Besides, the brothers didn't care about it yesterday. Most of the beauties in the palace were killed by mistake, and less than 100 people were caught."

"Damn it, if Liu Zongmin and Luo Rucai didn't fight with Lao Tzu, how could they be like this?" Niu Er is gnashing his teeth.

However, we have to put aside the matter in the palace for the time being, and the empress Chongzhen's concubines can't take care of it. Although everyone was prepared for a scuffle yesterday, a large number of troops and horses were killed together outside the city. If we want to clarify it, we can't do it in a short time.

In the next three days, the three men gathered their troops and horses while repeatedly attacking and competing for the inner and outer cities. It was dark until the fourth day that Luo Rucai and Liu Zongmin completely withdrew from the capital, retreated to TongZhou with more than 100000 disabled and defeated soldiers and began to lick their wounds.

Although Niu Er controlled the whole capital, he was unable to chase and kill them. While cleaning the battlefield, he gathered the defeated soldiers.

After the five-day war, the outer layer of the capital has long been beaten into ruins. There is a stench of corpses everywhere. Few people have not been affected except those well preserved in the inner city.

Bodies were transported out of the city and burned on the spot. The fire burned for three days and three nights, and there was a strong smell of burnt paste all around.

The number of casualties was finally counted out. All the bodies added up to nearly one million, of which only half were the real soldiers of the three parties, and all the others were the people and rich families in the city.

The destruction was beyond everyone's imagination. The surviving people and rich families were trembling at home. I'm afraid they would have run away if the city gate had not been blocked.

Niu Er's men and horses also lost more than half, leaving less than 200000.
