Jiang Bochong rushed directly to the city wall with people, and found that there were really few people on the city wall. Jiang Bochong asked someone to tie the end of the tree with the rope he brought, and then pulled it back hard. The others held the other end to the top of the wall, and soon a dozen trees were cut down on the wall. Jiang Bochong couldn't wait for the soldiers to attack the city, and climbed up directly with his own soldiers.

Seeing that Shangguan was so desperate, the other soldiers of the Restoration Army also sacrificed their lives to climb up, and those who had already climbed the city wall in less than a quarter of an hour used fifty or sixty people. Jiang Bochong rushed down the city with forty people, preparing to open the city gate and enlarge the army into the city, and finally a Qing soldier found the people of the Restoration Army in the distance. Immediately, he struck the gong and shouted: "The enemy is attacking, and the Ming army is coming to seize the city."

But the Qing soldiers were scattered in the city at this time, where could they gather in time. The dozen or so people left behind formed a formation to help the Restoration Army that had not yet entered the city, and the patrol team that attacked the city was only about 20 people, and it was impossible to break the military formation formed by the Restoration Army for a while. The soldiers of the Restoration Army in the back also knew that the situation was critical, and they all struggled to climb up.

Jiang Bochong rushed down the city wall with forty people, and found that there were only twenty people guarding the city gate. Now that many people in the Qing army in the city have rushed into the houses to rob money and humiliate women, Jiang Bochong did not answer, and directly led people to rush to the whole slash, shouting: "Brothers, kill all these dog-free Qing troops, enlarge the army into the city, and avenge the dead soldiers and people." There were many southern locals in Jiang Bochong's team, and when they entered the city, those desolate screams could be heard more clearly. The soldiers were even more anxious, thinking about what had happened to their homes in the city. Now listening to Jiang Bochong's shouting, he also knows that he can't change anything by himself. Du Hong's eyes slaughtered towards the city gate, and he cursed in his mouth: "You beasts, what you do is not personnel, kill these beasts for me." ”

The soldiers guarding the door could only watch the other Qing soldiers chic, and they were waiting here hard. Now seeing that the menacing Restoration Army counted all the hatred on his head, he suddenly felt very aggrieved, and the Restoration Army killed more than 40 people, which was twice as much as the Qing army guarding the door. At this time, the people who can be sent to defend the city are all people who have been excluded and unwilling in the army, or they are veteran oilers, who are cheating and playing tricks, where will they desperately guard the city gate. Seeing the Fuming army rushing over, they all threw their weapons away, knelt on both sides of the city gate, and shouted: "Master of the Ming Dynasty, I surrender, surrender." ”

There were a few people who were unwilling to surrender and were hacked to death by the people of the Restoration Army, Jiang Bochong also wanted to kill all these Qing soldiers directly, and he had already achieved the position of the regimental battalion, so he naturally knew that the most important thing now was to open the city gate, so he shouted: "Go to ten people to watch them, and the others go and open the city gate." Immediately, a dozen people went up and lifted the wooden square that bound the gate, and soon the gate was opened.

Gou Xingwang, who was still outside the city, saw the city gate being opened, and shouted: "Quick, rush into the city." Immediately, the Restoration Army hiding outside the city rushed to the city gate. The Qing army, which was still resisting on the city wall, now saw a large number of Restoration troops rushing towards the city gate, and immediately knew that the city gate was opened, so they turned around and ran away in fright. Gou Xingwang rushed directly into the city with the Restoration Army, and only then did the Qing soldiers run out of the room, some of them didn't even get dressed yet, and some of them kept carrying this thing in their arms.

How could the Restoration Army, which had already entered the city, let go of these Qing troops who had done evil, and directly pursued and killed them separately with the general banner as a unit. Gou Xingwang knew that Lu Guangzu and Wu Yiding must be in the county office, so he took the team straight to the county office.

Lu Guangzu had just entered the room with three women, and before he finished taking off his clothes, he heard a gong outside the north gate, and then the sound of killing suddenly rose, and Lu Guangzu couldn't care about the three women. Someone was called to put on the armor and walk out of the county office with his own soldiers.

At this time, someone came to report that "there is a Ming army attacking the city outside the north gate, and the specific number is not clear." When Lu Guangzu heard it, he thought it was the Ming army that had just escaped from the city, and he was unwilling to lose the city, and now he wanted to counterattack and seize the city. Then he said: "Go, transfer two battalions of soldiers to guard the north gate." The man immediately went to find someone, Lu Guangzu thought about it and was not very relieved, now that he had escaped and dared to attack the north gate, then the other city gates might also be attacked.

Lu Guangzu said to his soldiers again: "You are going to transfer some people to strengthen the defense of the other three gates." After saying that, I saw the herald who had just gone to transfer people to support the north gate running back and forth. Lu Guangzu said angrily: "Do you know that the military situation is like fire, and if you delay like this, you are not afraid to punish you for the crime of being a slow king?" The herald said aggrievedly: "Your Excellency, I didn't deliberately delay, now the officers have gone to the private houses to have fun, and I am looking for it everywhere." ”

When Lu Guangzu heard this, he directly slapped the herald and said, "You can't find it, you won't blow the trumpet." Go, the account number immediately. The herald did not dare to disobey, and turned around to give the order to blow the trumpet. As a result, as soon as he turned around, he saw a large number of Ming troops running on the street, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

Of course, it was Gou Xingwang and others who came over, and when they saw a few people standing at the gate of the county government from a distance, one of them had a very conspicuous armor, and they knew that person was Lu Guangzu. Gou Xingwang shouted: "The front is Lu Guangzu, I will personally reward him with fifty taels of silver for killing Lu Guangzu, kill him." Shouting and killing Lu Guangzu directly, the other soldiers of the Restoration Army were originally very hateful to the Qing army in the city, but now I heard that it was the general of the Qing army, and there was a reward of fifty taels of silver for killing him. Immediately, the soldiers of the Restoration Army rushed to Lu Guangzu.

Lu Guangzu heard the herald screaming, and turned around to scold him. But he found that the Ming army who rushed over heard Gou Xingwang shouting, and the Ming army suddenly rushed over. The frightened Lu Guangzu didn't dare to fight, so he turned around and ran.

After Wu Yiding got a woman from Lu Guangzu, he hurriedly pulled him into the house. When he heard the gong outside, Wu Yiding had already stripped himself of himself. Hearing Lu Guangzu shouting to put on his armor, Wu Yiding touched the woman's face and chest twice, and then slowly put on his clothes and came out. As soon as he walked out of the gate of the county government, he saw the Restoration Army rushing over, and Lu Guangzu had already run out with his own soldiers dozens of feet away. Wu Yiding saw that Lu Guangzu didn't take him with him, so he ran away alone. scolded Lu Guangzu in his heart for not being a thing, but he ran past the Ming army, and as soon as he turned around, he hid in the county government again.

Gou Xingwang only cared about chasing Lu Guangzu, glanced at Wu Yiding, and said to the soldiers around him: "Go and two people to take Wu Yiding into custody, and then clean him up when we come back." Then he went directly after Lu Guangzu.

At this time, there were constantly Qing soldiers rushing out of the houses, but when they saw so many Restoration soldiers, they all hid in the houses one after another. Those who reacted slowly were hacked to death by the Restoration Army, seeing that Lu Guangzu fled into a patrol of the Qing army opposite, and there were only about 200 people left around Gou Xingwang, but Gou Xingwang was not worried at all. Directly roared: "Lu Guangzu dog thief, take your life" and rushed towards Lu Guangzu.

This Lu Guangzu has been chased before, and now there are more than 50 Qing soldiers on patrol, and there are nearly 100 people in his own personal soldiers, and there are many Qing soldiers in the surrounding rooms coming out one after another. Lu Guangzu also turned around and fought with Gou Xingwang as soon as he was ruthless.

The Qing army in the private house and the Qing soldiers who had fled before, seeing Lu Guangzu reflexively fighting with the Ming army, all moved closer to Lu Guangzu and slowly formed an encirclement of the Ming army. Lu Guangzu also discovered this, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he could reverse the situation in such a situation, so why not be promoted.

Just when Lu Guangzu was happy, the other east and south gates also sounded with earth-shattering shouts of killing, just like the north gate before, it didn't take long to hear the sound of shouting and killing coming this way. This is Gou Xingwang has been surrounded by groups, and he heard the shouts and killings outside. Gou Xingwang said: "Brothers, kill these Qing troops to avenge the people and soldiers in the south, and our reinforcements have come in." The morale of the surrounding Ming troops was suddenly high, and they shouted: "Revenge." For a time, the stumps and broken arms of the Qing soldiers flew wildly, and the frightened Qing troops retreated again and again. In addition, there are Ming troops shouting the slogan of "Da Ming" from time to time, and they are constantly approaching. Many Qing soldiers showed timid expressions, and Lu Guangzu knew that the southern city could not be defended at first sight.

Turning around and running to the west gate where there was no Ming army, Lu Guangzu left, and the remaining Qing troops dispersed. Gou Xingwang shouted: "Put down your arms and surrender on your knees." A Qing army asked, "Can you survive if you surrender?" Gou Xingwang looked at the situation and found that Lu Guangzu was about to run away again, so he said against his will: "Yes, surrender to avoid death." ”

As soon as those Qing soldiers heard that surrender would save them from death, they all laid down their arms and surrendered, saying: "We surrender, we surrender, all the officials have run away, we surrender." Gou Xingwang didn't have time to care about them now, so he left a few people to watch, and then led a large team of people to chase Lu Guangzu. When Gou Xingwang chased to the west gate, Lu Guangzu was already out of the city gate. Looking at the Qing soldiers who kept gathering over, Gou Xingwang had no choice but to shout: "Surrender and avoid death." The other Restoration Army also saw that Lu Guangzu was going to run, and they were all in a hurry to chase Lu Guangzu, shouting one after another: "Surrender and avoid death."

The Qing army, which was in a hurry to flee for their lives, heard the Ming army shouting "surrender and avoid death", and they threw away their weapons and surrendered one after another when they saw that they could not escape. In this way, the front of the Fuming army was instantly full of Qing soldiers, Gou Xingwang looked at these kneeling Qing soldiers, and shouted: "Retreat to both sides and make way out." Seeing that the effect was not great, he directly took his own soldiers and cut them, shouting while chopping: "Retreat to both sides." In this way, Gou Xingwang and the Restoration Army behind him quickly cleared a road and went directly out of the city gate to chase Lu Guangzu.

Gou Xingwang and the others came out without any torches, so they had to chase along the road in the dark. In a blink of an eye, he arrived at Sanzhai, and Lu Guangzu in front saw that there were no torches chasing after him, so he calmed down a little and said: "Where did so many Ming troops come from, didn't you say that there were more than 2,000 defenders in the city?" We killed so many first, how can so many Ming troops still emerge now. The soldier said: "My lord, this must be a mistake in intelligence, or it is Wu Yiding's old thief who is playing with us." ”

Lu Guangzu said: "Wu Yiding's dog thing still thinks that I will say good things to him in front of Li Guoying, but he doesn't dare to play with us." There must be a mistake in the information, let's not talk about this, go back to Yanting first, and wait until Du Xue and them arrive before discussing. Saying that, Lu Guangzu took the 300 people who escaped with him into the two mountains of Sanzhai.

Just when Lu Guangzu was thinking about how to seize the south with Du Xue and them again, the sound of killing suddenly broke out on both sides of the official road, and countless torches were lit on the official road, illuminating the entire official road. Zhang Chang, who was guarding here, shouted: "Lu Guangzu, you killed your compatriots and killed my soldiers of the Restoration Army, today is your death." Kill! With Zhang Chang's order, the Fuming army, which had long been ambushed on both sides, came out one after another. As soon as the Qing soldiers saw that there was still an ambush by the Ming army here, they immediately made a mess, and you pushed me and hurriedly tried to find a way.

Lu Guangzu saw that the Ming army was fighting from both sides, and Zhang Chang was blocking the road in front of him, so he hurriedly said: "Go back quickly, take the path to the salt pavilion." At this time, Gou Xingwang, who was following Lu Guangzu, had already led people to kill him in the dark, and shouted: "Lu Guangzu, you villain who betrayed your ancestors to seek glory, and now you still want to return to Yanting, you can dream." Kill me. After speaking, he took the soldiers of the Restoration Army to surround Lu Guangzu on all sides.

The people who fled here with Lu Guangzu were Lu Guangzu's cronies, and they were unwilling to surrender, so they immediately fought with the Ming army. The Ming army didn't want to find prisoners, and the two sides were killing each other back and forth. The Ming army together numbered more than 700 people, more than double that of the Qing soldiers. No matter how tenacious these Qing soldiers were, they were still gradually compressed by the Ming army, and the Ming Army ambushed here was a new force, and the Qing army's formation was already crumbling.

Lu Guangzu said at this time: "If I surrender, can you bypass these soldiers of mine?" Gou Xingwang knew that this was to arouse the loyalty of the Qing soldiers, so he said: "Yes, as long as you surrender, I will let them all go back." Don't hurt them a bit. Lu Guangzu originally saw that the Ming army had no intention of surrendering, and deliberately said it so that the Ming army refused, and then aroused the determination of the soldiers to hate the enemy, and he could still have a glimmer of life to rush out, but he didn't expect Gou Xingwang to agree to it, and said that he wanted to let the Qing soldiers go back. Immediately, I felt that I had punched the cotton, and I didn't know what to do.

The chief banner who came here to ambush with Changchang asked Zhou Linyuan in confusion: "The chief soldier really wants to go around these Qing soldiers?" Zhou Linyuan said: "Don't talk nonsense, these are the strategies of the chief soldier." ”

But those Qing soldiers didn't think about this, they were already in a desperate situation at this time, and they definitely couldn't run away. Hearing Gou Xingwang say that he could go around them and let them go back, a soldier immediately said, "I surrender and don't fight." Then the Qing soldiers were immediately taken to the back by the Ming army, and the other Qing soldiers shouted for surrender when they saw it. In the blink of an eye, there were only a few of his personal soldiers in front of Lu Guangzu, looking at the Ming army who were surrounding him. Lu Guangzu knew that if he fell into the hands of the Ming army, he would definitely die a miserable death, so he immediately returned the knife and slashed his neck, committing suicide on the spot.

Gou Xingwang saw that Lu Guangzu had committed suicide, so he ordered someone to confiscate the weapons of the Qing soldiers, and then slaughtered them all, and for a time the Qing army on the road continued to scold, just like the people in the southern city scolded them at night.
