Ajiu has always been with Chu Zheng, who was leaning in his arms, and when he heard the news, he immediately sat up straight and said anxiously: "Have Li's troops entered the city?"

Sun Xuhong already knew Ajiu's identity and knew that Chu Zheng was very fond of this little girl, so although Ajiu's tone was not too polite, she also replied: "As soon as Li Zicheng's banner arrived last night, most of the imperial guards who were resisting on the top of Jinling City ran away. Li Zicheng's side had already had an inner supporter sneaking into the city. Now, the city gate was opened to welcome Li Zicheng's men into the city, and the people were greeting each other. However, the imperial city has not yet fallen, and I heard that there are still people organizing resistance."

What happened last night?

Chu Zheng looked at the sky. It was almost noon now, and Jinling City had been broken for a whole night and a half day!

It took Sun Xuhong so long to receive the news?

Sun Xuhong smiled bitterly and said, "We have been rushing day and night recently, and Xinying has spent a lot of time looking for us."

The young marshal's army still has to rely on people to send a message, while the Sun family relies on the pigeons and the Xinying, which is already fast. However, the pigeons are point-to-point, and the Xinying is people-to-person. It takes some time for Xinying to find people. In addition, it was a new moon last night and the night was dark. It is already amazing that Xinying can find Sun Xuhong so quickly.

"Gather men immediately and prepare to rush to Jinling City!"

Chu Zheng immediately ordered Fu Minyi, the general manager of the "Nighthawk" beside him. Fu Minyi took the order and left. Half a moment later, A Fei, Ximen Rou, and Zhang Wuji had gathered good people and waited outside.

The situation is urgent now, and no one knows how long the imperial city can be defended. Once the imperial city is lost and Li Zicheng is able to stabilize his position, then Chu Zheng should not expect to take down Jinling City again.

So Chu Zheng didn't say much, and said a few words and ordered to rush to Jinling City at full speed.

A group of more than 6,000 riders no longer hide their whereabouts, and immediately started to move with their hooves sounded like thunder, and people and horses were like dragons, with great momentum.

"Nighthawks" are all heroes and masters from the world, and they are all first-class and above. According to the game's strength score, they are above 450 points. In terms of discipline, they are naturally far inferior to those of well-trained young marshals. They cannot fight against elite soldiers with the power bonus of the battle formation when they kill enemies on the battlefield, but in terms of the speed of riding horses, they will never be inferior to ordinary cavalry.

On the way, Sun Xuhong received a new message from Xinying again.

It turned out that Jinling City had fallen into chaos again. After Li Zicheng's rebel army entered the city, he was in a mess and broke into the doors and plundered wealthy women. If he had a little resistance, he would have confiscated his family and exterminated his family for his crimes. Not only wealthy merchants, royal relatives, ministers and generals, but even ordinary people suffered disasters, Jinling City is now as miserable as hell.

Chu Zheng sighed in his heart. He had long known that Li Zicheng's so-called rebel army had no discipline at all. Originally, Li Zicheng's army was like locusts, burning, killing, robbing everywhere, and constantly relied on killing and plundering to inspire morale. He just put forward the slogan of "killing the rich and helping the poor", which was a certain confusion for the lower-level people.

They might have been a little patient before entering Jinling City. Now that they have entered the city, the overall situation has been decided, how could the children in this wealthy capital be unmoved?

I don’t know what those people who are eager to “open the door to welcome the King of Breaking and live a good life” will feel?

And the imperial city is still sticking to it.

What is sad and ridiculous is that it is not the Imperial Guards defending the imperial city, but more than a thousand eunuchs. As for those Imperial Guards, they had long dispersed. It is said that when the city was broken, Emperor Chongzhen personally sounded the bell to summon civil and military officials in the city, and the bell sounded throughout the city. However, none of the civil and military officials who thought they were loyal to the emperor and patriotic came to the national crisis with Emperor Chongzhen.

Chu Zheng felt sad for Emperor Chongzhen when he heard this. Although this was the result of the corrupt rule of the Zhu Ming Dynasty and the miserable people's lives, it once again proved that the so-called aristocratic families had no concept of a country at all, and they only considered the interests of their own family. On the surface, they had to pretend to be a hypocritical gentleman and famous scholar, and they were even less righteous than those eunuchs who were neither men nor women.

Chu Zheng strengthened his determination to rely on the vast number of people at the bottom to overthrow the rule of these aristocratic families, and at the same time urged the team to accelerate forward again.

He knew in his heart that these eunuchs had no combat power and had not received much training. However, relying on the doubled power of the natural "Dragon Qi Array" in the imperial city, both morale and strength increased greatly. In contrast, Li Zicheng's troops who besieged the imperial city were greatly damaged, and the power of the siege equipment was greatly reduced, which made more than a thousand eunuchs able to hold on to the imperial city for a day and a night, but this was almost at its limit, and the imperial city might be broken at any time.

The journey of more than thirty miles was only half an hour for the cavalry, and soon the towering Jinling City appeared in front of Chu Zheng and others.

Although there is still a little distance, you can vaguely hear the cry for help and screams from the city, and you can also see thick smoke rising.

It was still daytime, but Li Zicheng's rebel army was afraid that the "fat sheep" in the city would run away. The city gate had been closed and the suspension bridge on the moat had been closed. The number of thieves guarding the city was not large. Most of the thieves who were ordered to defend the city were jealous of the other companions who robbed money and women, so they were not willing to stick to their posts.

The remaining guards saw a large number of people coming, so they quickly rang the bell to warn.

Ajiu's riding skills were pretty good, but the running around over the past few days made her look pale and a little haggard. She looked at the wide moat, and the thieves had begun to gather on the top of the city. They had no siege equipment. Thinking of the unknown father and mother, the girl was so anxious that she almost burst into tears.

Chu Zheng grabbed the reins of her horse and whispered: "Ajiu, don't worry, I have a way to open the city gate."

He handed Ajiu to Sun Xuhong next to him: "Xiaohong, take good care of Ajiu for me."

As soon as Sun Xuhong responded, Chu Zheng had already risen up, swept across the wide moat like light smoke, and ran towards the city wall.

His speed was extremely fast, and the distance of more than a hundred feet was almost in the blink of an eye. When he reached the city wall, he jumped up and jumped seven or eight feet high!

Countless eyes looked at his jumping figure, opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it, even the thief army on the top of the city was stunned.

They have never seen anyone breaking into the city with bare hands and seem to have to climb up to a city wall that is as high as fifteen feet high!

But the figure of the young man in front of him was fast and light, like a ghost phantom. Seeing that the leaping momentum was slightly reduced, Chu Zheng reached out and pressed the city wall, took advantage of the momentum to jump up again, and the next moment it had landed on the city wall!

The bandits around had no time to shoot arrows and rushed to stab them in panic.

Chu Zheng frowned secretly as soon as he stepped onto the city, because he felt a huge pressure covering his whole body, at least suppressing his strength by one quarter. Now, while he was fighting this pressure, he could only use his "extraordinary saint" realm power close to Shangguan Jinhong.

Is this the power of the imperial capital's "Dragon Qi Array"? It's really terrible!

However, when he saw that the spears stabbed by the thieves were slower than normal and had a slower speed, he knew that these thieves were also negatively affected by the "Dragon Qi Formation" and only three-quarters of their combat power was left.

This is the advantage of the imperial capital. If those imperial guards dare to resist and have the effect bonus of the "Dragon Qi Array", they will never be unable to defend for a day.

Chu Zheng sighed, and pulled out the "full moon scimitar" from his waist and threw it out.
