Fu Zonglong was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and almost rolled the saddle and fell off his horse, and the pro-soldiers around him saw that the formation had been disrupted by the peasant army, and he couldn't escape if he didn't escape, so he didn't care whether Fu Zonglong agreed or not, he pulled the reins of his horse and began to take the road, more than a dozen pro-soldiers entangled Liu Zongmin, and more than 30 other people fought to the death, wanting to break away from a bloody road. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

At this time, Fu Zonglong was so frightened that he lost his soul, and he couldn't care about the decision he had made before, so he was embarrassed, and he escaped his life first, as for whether he would be imprisoned in the future, behead Xishi, and leave it to fate, in short, he can't die here today.

Therefore, Fu Zonglong sent an order, the whole army broke through, he himself took 3,000 men and horses, desperately fled south, these 3,000 people were cavalry, protecting Fu Zonglong, rushed out of a bloody road, and rushed south. Although they escaped, there were only about 1,000 of the 3,000 cavalry.

Liu Zongmin saw Fu Zonglong fleeing, scolded a few words, and instructed Li Guo: "Catch up with the elite soldiers, run away Fu Zonglong, I will break your legs......"

Although Li Guo is Li Zicheng's nephew, Liu Zongmin and Li Zicheng are lifelong friends, and the whole army except Li Zicheng obeys him. Therefore, Li Guo also sweated, he knew that this chief whistle Liu Ye did what he said.

So Li Guo took 3,000 troops, all of them cavalry, and chased after him as if he were dead.

At this time, the official army was completely chaotic, Fu Zonglong fled, and the remaining officers and troops scattered and broke away, no longer resisting. The peasant army began to chase and kill the officers and soldiers like rabbits. The recruits in the peasant army were also very energetic, shouting and rushing to kill.

When Liu Zongmin saw Li Zicheng, he told Li Guo about chasing Fu Zonglong, and then Liu Zongmin frowned and said: "If Fu Zonglong escapes, he will definitely go to Xinzheng, there are also thousands of officers and soldiers there, once Fu Zonglong enters the city, it will be difficult to catch him again, I think I want to pounce on the team." ”

Song Xiance on the side smiled: "Master Liu doesn't have to worry, Fu Zonglong will never be able to enter Xinzheng, and he will definitely be captured by us." ”

Li Zicheng immediately ordered and sent someone to catch up from behind and tell Li Guo that he must catch the live one and try not to kill it. In fact, there is no need to command, Li Guo also knows the severity, Fu Zonglong is the governor of Henan, and it must be useful to catch him. So he led his men and horses to chase after him from behind.

Fu Zonglong thought while running, at this time, the chasing soldiers were behind, the situation was urgent, and he could not stay in the field for a long time, he had to go to the nearest county town, and then make plans. The closest to here is Xinzheng, as long as you enter Xinzheng County, you can escape with your life.

Therefore, he made up his mind to take these thousand people to Xinzheng County, Sanguan Temple is very close to Xinzheng, and it only takes an hour to come to the city.

Li Guo was chasing after him, he also knew Fu Zonglong's thoughts, and knew that once Fu Zonglong fled into the county seat, his three thousand men and horses would never be able to catch him. Therefore, he issued a death order, and he must capture Fu Zonglong alive before he escapes into the county seat.

The two groups of men and horses one after the other, launched a chase, Fu Zonglong's men and horses have been fighting for too many hours, the horsepower is lacking, no more than the men and horses led by Li Guo, Li Guo's 3,000 people, are all new forces, they did not participate in the battle, the horsepower is strong, so the two sides were separated from the land of several arrows at the beginning, and after running for more than ten miles, they chased within a stone's throw away.

Li Guo ordered the arrows to be released, so the peasant army fired arrows in unison, shooting at the rear of the official army. Li Guo understood that Fu Zonglong must be in front at this time and would not fall last, so he would not hurt him.

As soon as the peasant army passed through the rain of arrows, dozens of officers and soldiers were shot down, and the rest of the officers and soldiers were shocked, and at this time everyone understood that whoever fell last would be shot to death, so everyone desperately scrambled to be the first, wanting to run faster. Some officers and soldiers knew better that if they ran with Fu Zonglong, they would be chased by the peasant army, and they would not be able to escape in the end, so many people left the brigade and scattered into the wilderness.

Li Guo ordered, keep an eye on Fu Zonglong, and leave the rest alone. In this way, more and more officers and soldiers left the brigade, and at this time, in order to survive, who cares about whom.

After chasing a few more miles, Fu Zonglong looked back and saw that there were only dozens of riders left around him, and he couldn't help but secretly complain. Most of the original more than 1,000 people, except for those who were shot, fled by different routes.

Fu Zonglong looked forward, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he could already see the city wall of Xinzheng County in the distance.

Li Guo was secretly anxious in the back, although he was less than a stone's throw away from Fu Zonglong at this time, but King Chuang had an order not to kill Fu Zonglong, so he couldn't release the arrow, but at this time, he had already seen Xinzheng, if the officials and soldiers in the city came to respond, Fu Zonglong would be able to enter the city safely.

When he was in a hurry, he really bypassed a group of men and horses from outside the city, all of them were cavalry, all dressed as officers and soldiers, and greeted Fu Zonglong's men and horses.

Fu Zonglong saw that there were officials and soldiers to respond, his heart was overjoyed, and he secretly said that he was lucky, Xinzheng's guards were very alert, and when he saw that the officials and troops were defeated here, he immediately sent people and horses, and it seemed that his life was saved.

The official army came to the front, but was surrounded by Fu Zonglong's men and horses, Fu Zonglong looked behind, Li Guo was about to catch up, but this official army was not in a hurry to enter the city, and couldn't help but say angrily: "I am Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan, you immediately take me into the city." ”

I saw a general led by the official army and smiled: "It turned out to be Master Fu, it was rude, but I haven't seen you either, I don't know what the evidence is." For example, your official seal. ”

Fu Zonglong was furious: "I was defeated in Sanguan Temple, come here, you don't lead me into the city again, everyone will fall into the hands of thieves together......"

The general was not in a hurry, nor was he angry, he was still smiling, at this time Fu Zonglong was already suspicious, he took a closer look, although this officer and army were wearing Ming army uniforms, but many people's clothes obviously did not fit, and the weapons in their hands were also varied, unlike the regular Ming army.

Fu Zonglong's eyes were cold, and he suddenly shouted: "You are not waiting for the official army, kill the thief ......"

As soon as his words came out, the dozens of pro-soldiers around him drew their swords and guns, wanting to fight, but this group of men and horses had already prepared and surrounded everyone, without waiting for these pro-soldiers to make a move, they immediately cut down all the pro-soldiers off their horses, leaving only Fu Zonglong.

At this time, Fu Zonglong's heart was bright, this official army was pretended to be a peasant army.

As expected, the general laughed and took off his helmet: "Master Fu is really clever, I am not an official soldier, my name is Gu Kecheng, King Chuang drove a general, and I was ordered by the military advisor to wait for my lord here." Master Fu really came. ”

With a wave of his hand, the army pulled Fu Zonglong off his horse and tied him up.

At this time, Li Guo also chased after him, and when he saw that it was Gu Kecheng, he was overjoyed: "You are leisurely, pick a ready-made one, and it will cause me to chase after it, haha......"

The two gathered the people, put Fu Zonglong on the horseback, and went back to Sanguan Temple together.

The officers and soldiers in the city watched and did not dare to go out of the city, they did not know what was going on, and they were also afraid of being ambushed by the peasant army, so they could not retreat.

It turned out that Song Xiance had expected that this battle would be won, and Fu Zonglong would definitely escape, so he sent three generals in advance, each with a thousand people, to ambush on the edge of several county towns. As long as Fu Zonglong wanted to enter the city, no matter which surrounding county he fled to, he would fall into the hands of the peasant army. Sure enough, Gu Kecheng waited for Fu Zonglong in Xinzheng.

A group of people caught Fu Zonglong and came to Li Zicheng's army, Fu Zonglong was also a hard head, when he saw Li Zicheng, he scolded, Li Zicheng smiled slightly, sent someone to escort him down, and at the same time tightly sealed the news, but created a fake news and released it, saying that Fu Zonglong was defeated, escaped from the encirclement, and disappeared.

Li Guo was puzzled when he heard this: "Uncle, I caught the surname Fu, just kill him, why bother so much, we who are older than him have also been caught, why keep him." ”

Li Zicheng and Song Xiance glanced at each other, they both smiled, and Song Xiance said: "With Fu Zonglong, it will not be difficult to capture Kaifeng." ”

Li Guo rolled his eyes, and then suddenly realized.

In the battle of Sanguanmiao, Li Zicheng defeated Fu Zonglong's men, and from then on, there was no strong official army in Henan to fight with the peasant army. The officers and soldiers in various places could only defend themselves behind closed doors, unable to challenge Li Zicheng.

He Renlong and Cao Bianjiao, Yang Wenyue fled to Xingyang in one breath, only then did they ease up, and as soon as the three of them discussed, they immediately sent people to inquire about Fu Zonglong's whereabouts, they didn't care about whether Fu Zonglong was killed or captured, they cared about themselves.

You must know that the three of them ignored the commander and led the army to flee, if Fu Zonglong escaped back and played a copy of the three of them, Chongzhen would definitely dismiss them and investigate them under his anger. So they were very troubled.

However, he said that Li Zicheng, after cleaning up the battlefield, counted and killed more than 3,000 officers and soldiers in this battle, captured seven or eight thousand people, and lost more than 2,000 people, obtained countless weapons, grain and grass, and also obtained Fu Zonglong's arrows and seals.

Li Zicheng did not rest, immediately led the army back to Zhuxian Town, and after returning to the old camp, he secretly sent Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu, escorted Fu Zonglong, took 5,000 men and horses, and took advantage of the night to rush to Kaifeng City, and then asked Liu Zongmin to bring 30,000 horses to follow these two people.

This is also Song Xiance's plan, long before this battle was fought, Song Xiance put forward his own idea, as long as Fu Zonglong can be caught, he can use him to win Kaifeng City.

Because Kaifeng City is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, the city wall is too high and too thick, the outside is all made of stones, the city wall is several zhang thick, the cannon is powerless, there are many defenders in the city, and there is enough food and grass, the officials are also very desperate, really want to fight hard, not a year and a half, will never be able to take it.

If you want to send people into the city, it is also very difficult, the guard general Chen Yongfu and the Henan patrol according to Gao Mingheng have set the law of continuous protection, several families and one guarantee, it is difficult for outsiders to gain a foothold, and the city inn is more strictly checked, once there are strangers from outside, they are immediately monitored, and it is very difficult to engage in some sabotage activities.
