After dawn, Fu Zonglong found that he had escaped the dragon's mouth, and made an appointment with the soldiers last night, and after breaking through, everyone met at the dragon's mouth.

What to do? Do you want to go back?

The guard said: "My lord, the soldiers who gather in Longkou, once they can't find the adults, they will definitely come north!" ”

"What if they don't find Bento?" Fu Zonglong was a little unbearable, although they were the lowliest soldiers, but they followed themselves to death for nine lives, and finally escaped with their lives, did they lose them like this?

Whether to go back to Longkou or go directly to Xiangcheng in the north, Fu Zonglong hesitated, and the guards did not agree to go back, in case the Ming army chased and killed, they had to run back.

Everyone was very tired, and after running for half the night, they were very hungry, so they stopped to rest.

The soldiers advocated going to the nearby villages to find something to eat, Fu Zonglong knew that Henan was full of hungry people, how could he still find food? When the soldiers entered the village, it was obviously looting!

He had always been reluctant to disturb the people, but at this moment, he could no longer care about it, so he acquiesced to the proposition of the guards.

The guards took dozens of soldiers to the village in the south, and Fu Zonglong took the opportunity to check the soldiers, and the soldiers who broke out with him were less than a thousand.

Thinking of the original 20,000 soldiers, now less than half of them, Fu Zonglong was very sad.

The Mandate of Heaven Army's combat effectiveness is so strong and scheming, even if he escapes with his life, how will he be able to quell the thieves in the future? What worries him even more is that the imperial court, a Mandate of Heaven army, can defeat the two armies of Shaanxi and Baoding, and the beacon fire everywhere in the Ming Dynasty will end?

What to do on your own? What about the imperial court?

Fu Zonglong was leaning against a small tree and closing his eyes to think, he didn't expect that there was a sudden noise from the south, he opened his eyes, turned his head and saw that it was the soldiers who were looking for food back.

Come back, come back, shout what? Do you want everyone in the world to know that the Shaanxi soldiers plundered the people?

Fu Zonglong was about to shout and curse, when he suddenly heard the soldiers who ran over in a panic, he shouted from afar: "Oh no, the rogue is chasing after him......"

"Rogues?" Fu Zonglong was taken aback, could it be that Li Zicheng had calculated that he would flee north? He shouted at the soldiers, "Where are the rogues? ”

"My lord, let's go," the soldier who ran at the front gasped, "Thousands of soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven have already chased after ......"

"Thousands of soldiers?"

Everyone changed color, but they still didn't believe it, how could the Heavenly Mandate Army be so fast?

The soldier told them that the message had come from the skirmishers who had broken through from the fire shop, and that the stragglers had seen the pursuers of the Mandate of Heaven with their own eyes, and that there were at least thousands of them, and that they were only ten miles away!

Fu Zonglong didn't care about fatigue and hunger, so he had to get up and flee north along the official road with everyone.

To the north is Xiangcheng, as long as you enter the city, rely on the city wall, at least you can garrison it, and like this, you can also run in the wild, and be caught up by thousands of Heavenly Mandate Army, most of the soldiers will be killed.

Along the way, soldiers kept falling to the ground and then leaving the army, Fu Zonglong didn't know if they were pretending, whether they fell because of hunger and fatigue, or whether they were deserters.

When they fled, no one cared for them.

Fu Zonglong walked twenty miles quickly, and there were less than 500 soldiers left under his subordinates, and nearly half of the soldiers had fled.

At this time, it was less than ten miles away from Xiangcheng, and as long as he worked harder, he could escape into the city in one breath.

"Da Da Da ......"

Suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, Fu Zonglong turned around and looked, and was suddenly stunned, countless soldiers, led by dozens of cavalry, were coming overwhelmingly.

At the front of the team, the Kyushu military flag fluttered in the wind, who is it if it is not the Mandate of Heaven Army?

Wherever the Mandate Army goes, like a tide, like a locust, like an ant colony, everything that hinders their lives will be trampled, trampled, and destroyed......

Fu Zonglong saw with his own eyes that the officers and soldiers lying on the ground had just wanted to escape, but before they could fully stand up straight, they were completely overwhelmed by the torrent of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and they didn't even shout.

His legs began to tremble, how could these Heavenly Mandate Army be more ferocious than the cavalry on the grassland?

The guards supported Fu Zonglong, "Adults go quickly, it's too late to ......"

Fu Zonglong's legs were weak, he felt that he had no strength at all, he was chased by these disgusting Heavenly Mandate Army, he would rather die!

The Ming army began to scatter and flee, and the official roads were full of stragglers of the Ming army, and in the face of the absolute superiority of the Heavenly Mandate Army, they automatically gave up resistance, and their only wish was to hope that they could escape with their lives.

The guards didn't wait for Fu Zonglong to answer, two people had already set him up on the left and right, dragging him forward and running forward, Xiang Cheng was in front, only after entering the city, it was safe for the time being, and if he fled in all directions like a straggler, sooner or later he would become a ghost under the sword of the Heavenly Mandate Army.

Seeing that the Ming army was in chaos, Liu Jianyi scattered his army and chased in all directions, while he led dozens of cavalry to chase along the official road.

Seeing a man in armor in front of him, there were still many servants around him, presumably officers, Liu Jianyi gave up everyone and chased after the officer.

The sound of horses' hooves alarmed the servants around the officer, and in order to cover the officer's escape to the north, they divided several people and turned back to meet Liu Jianyi's cavalry.

"Look for death!" Liu Jianyi stabbed a soldier with a shot, picked up his body and threw it aside, and when he was about to attack again, the Ming soldiers had already been harvested by the cavalry.

In front of the speeding cavalry, several infantry were simply quicksand, washed by the river, and had long since disappeared.

Liu Jianyi caught up with the officer, and before the guards could turn back, they had already stabbed one person down with one shot, and the other guard was also killed by the cavalry.

Fu Zonglong knew that it was hopeless to run, so he simply stopped, turned around, faced the overwhelming cavalry, looked at the tall and strong officer of the Heavenly Mandate Army on the middle warhorse, and said in a cold voice: "Who are you?" ”

"Lao Tzu is Liu Jianyi, the commander of the Fourth Regiment of the Independent Battalion of the Heavenly Mandate Army," Liu Jianyi pointed at Fu Zonglong's right shoulder with a spear, "Who are you?" Tell General Ben that maybe he can save you a little life! ”

"Captured by you, this Inspector doesn't plan to live!" Fu Zonglong's face looked very calm, and there was a faint contempt in the corners of his eyes.

"Overseer?" Liu Jianyi was overjoyed, "Could it be that you are Fu Zonglong?" ”

"It's this Inspector," Fu Zonglong said, "How do you know that this Inspector is going north?" Do you have pursuers in all directions? ”

Liu Jianyi looked up to the sky and laughed, "We only have this way to chase the soldiers!" ”

"All the way?" Fu Zonglong frowned and said, "How do you know that this Inspector must go north?" ”

"To tell you the truth, General Ben doesn't know," Liu Jianyi grinned, but he was excited in his heart, he originally let Fu Zonglong go, and thought that he would be punished by the Metropolitan Governor, which would catch Fu Zonglong, which could be regarded as a repentance, "It was the Metropolitan Governor who asked General Ben to chase north, and General Ben naturally wanted to listen to the Metropolitan Governor!" ”

"The Grand Duke? Li Zicheng? ”

"If you have anything to say, you go and ask the Metropolitan Governor yourself, Lao Tzu still has to clean up the battlefield!" Liu Jianyi held the gun in his right hand, but made a move with his left hand, and said in a deep voice: "Tie it up first!" ”

Two soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army had already stepped forward and tied Fu Zonglong with ropes.

The Mandate of Heaven army began to simply clean up the battlefield, and the corpses of the Ming army had no time to take care of for the time being, mainly to capture the living, and if they could not be captured alive, they would become a dead corpse.

In less than half an hour, the surrounding Ming army stragglers had disappeared, either fleeing far away, or being captured or killed by the Heavenly Mandate Army.

Liu Jianyi still didn't dare to fully believe that he had captured Fu Zonglong, and after careful identification by the Ming prisoners of war, Fu Zonglong's identity was finally confirmed.

On the one hand, he sent people to report back to the governor, and on the other hand, he gathered soldiers.

Fu Zonglong sat on a rock on the side of the road, looked at the clear city wall in front of him, and sighed: A little, just a little, you can enter Xiangcheng.

The laughter and laughter of the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army did not affect his mood - he was no longer in the mood, and his heart was already petrified!

was captured by the Mandate of Heaven Army, 20,000 troops were wiped out, no matter what responsibility Yang Wenyue had to bear, as the governor of the three sides, he had no shirk of his responsibility, and he had to die and apologize to the imperial court.

Even if the Heavenly Mandate Army can release him, he won't go back, outside Xiangcheng City, is his place of death!

It seems that he has not yet arrived in Xiangcheng, and there are still seven or eight miles away......

Fu Zonglong closed his eyes, and the old monk sat on the rock like a calm man, everything outside his body had nothing to do with him!

Liu Jianyi won a lot, chased all the way, captured and killed no less than 1,000 Ming troops, and most importantly, he captured Fu Zonglong, this is the supervisor of the imperial court!

Looking at the Xiangcheng city wall in front of him, Liu Jianyi's heart suddenly moved: Xiangcheng is only a few miles away, and if he makes a move, he can easily take Xiangcheng.

Besides, there is Fu Zonglong in his hand, he is the supervisor of the imperial court, if Fu Zonglong is used to open the city gate, he can even be bloodless.

The governor of the capital did not take the military order of Xiangcheng, but Xiangcheng was on his lips, and it was difficult to let the Ming army roam freely in the city? If Fu Zonglong escaped into the city, could he still let him go?

Thinking of Fu Zonglong, Liu Jianyi grinned again, and regarded it as chasing Fu Zonglong into the city......

He's decided to spend the night in the city tonight!

Liu Jianyi came to Fu Zonglong's side, and when he saw his appearance, he couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart, he was already a prisoner of war, what was he still angry about? Who is pretending to be a ghost?

However, when there was a request for him, Liu Jianyi still put on a smile and said, "Governor Fu, we are idle, can we help General Ben do something?" ”

Fu Zonglong continued to close his eyes and didn't move, if he hadn't seen his lower abdomen rise and fall due to breathing, he would almost be a dead man.

Liu Jianyi has always had a violent temper, he has already lowered his voice, and he is begging Fu Zonglong, but Fu Zonglong didn't even open his eyes, and suddenly became angry, and scolded: "You are already a prisoner of the ranks, which makes General Ben unhappy, and if you go down, you will never have to open your eyes." ”

No matter what Liu Jianyi said, Fu Zonglong just closed his eyes and didn't say anything, like a punch on a pile of cotton, he couldn't get any energy, Liu Jianyi was bored, kicked Fu Zonglong down, and scolded him.

But his determination to take Xiangcheng has not changed.

Liu Jianyi finished the soldiers, took Fu Zonglong and the prisoners of war of the Ming army, and went all the way to the north, but in less than half an hour, he came to the south of Xiangcheng.

There were hundreds of soldiers gathered at the head of the city, and when they saw the dense soldiers under the city, they looked down, and their eyes were both frightened and surprised: it was obviously the armor of the officers and soldiers, and they didn't know which way this was?
