Zhang Xianzhong was very pleased, those high-ranking generals gathered in the courtyard, all followed him to fight, no one said to surrender to the Zheng family, although this superficial attitude may not be able to be really implemented, maybe when the fighting really began, there were still many people who laid down their weapons, but it was enough to be able to see such a scene.

Zhang Xianzhong asked Liu Wenxiu to command the battle, in fact, it was impossible for Liu Wenxiu to command it personally, this mortal battle, it must be Zhang Xianzhong's personal command, at such a moment, Zhang Xianzhong would not be polite, and his orders were issued in a row.

Nearly 30,000 soldiers of the righteous army in the city all retreated to the houses, relying on the houses to resist the attack of the Zheng army, the firearms of the Zheng army were too sharp, so many soldiers relied on the houses to avoid the shooting of firearms, and at the same time fired bows and arrows, giving the Zheng army a powerful blow.

This arrangement is good, in fact, the city gate is breached, it does not necessarily mean that the battle is completely over, the battle for the city will be more cruel, there are many battles in history, the attacking side suffered heavy losses after breaking through to the city, and had to evacuate, resulting in the outcome of the battle reversed.

Of course, Zhang Xianzhong has such thoughts, he is like a dying man who has fallen into the water, as long as he can grasp a straw, he has to fight hard, and the experience of more than ten years of rebellion has made his character cruel and resolute.

However, Zhang Xianzhong ignored the biggest question, that is, whether the righteous soldiers under his command will still participate in the fight with all their hearts, you must know that the most elite sergeants are almost all taken by him to prepare to evacuate the capital of Kuizhou, and the 70,000 righteous soldiers in the west can be said to be the most brave and good at fighting among the 150,000 righteous soldiers, and these people have all been defeated by the Zheng family's army. Whether the sergeants stationed in the city still have the courage to resist is something that cannot be said.

Just when the Zheng family army began to charge, many of the rebel sergeants had already thrown down their weapons and hid in the house. Pretending to be ordinary people, looking forward to saving their lives in the next battle, you must know that the battle outside the city, many people have seen it, and that kind of tragic scene has made many people lose the courage to continue fighting.

However, there are also sergeants who resist desperately, that is, the 2,000 personal soldiers around Zhang Xianzhong, and the 5,000 elite sergeants under Liu Wenxiu, these 7,000 people will definitely resist desperately. There will be no surrender.

There were 20,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army who rushed into the capital city of Kuizhou.

Outside the east, west, and north gates, there were 2,000 soldiers of the Zheng family's army, and the remaining nearly 4,000 soldiers of the Zheng family's army, mainly responsible for guarding the prisoners.

The 20,000 soldiers who rushed into the south gate were quickly divided into four teams, Zheng Jinhong personally led 8,000 people, rushed towards the direction of Nanzhi Street, the Kuizhou government and the county government were all there, presumably Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Wenxiu and others would also be on Nanzhi Street. Liu Zeqing led 5,000 men to Xizhi Street, a concentration of merchants and wealthy households. Presumably it was also the key place where the Liukou were stationed, Su Congjin led 4,000 people and charged towards the north, and Su Manzi led 3,000 people and charged towards the east.

The division of labor is very clear, and their most important goal is Zhang Xianzhong. followed by Liu Wenxiu and others.

That is to say, in the battle in the city of Kuizhou, Zhang Xianzhong must be captured or killed, otherwise the entire battle cannot be ended, let alone a victory.

Zheng Jinhong's judgment was not wrong, and the fierce battle soon began on Nanzhi Street.

There was no one to be seen on the street. But in the houses on both sides, cold arrows were shot from time to time, and the charging Zheng family army was caught off guard, and many people were injured by the bow and arrow, of course, the house that fired the bow and arrow would soon be knocked away by the charging soldiers, and then a series of gunshots rang out, accompanied by sharp screams.

Sporadic gunfire and short screams also rang out on Xizhi Street.

The soldiers of Nanzhi Street and Xizhi Street slowed down the speed of the attack, they held shields, and slowly advanced, cleaning up one house after another, at this moment the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were attacking in front, and the soldiers of the cavalry battalion were slightly behind.

This is probably Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Wenxiu and others did not expect, they think that the Zheng family army soldiers who are determined to win must be a strong charge, occupy the entire Nanzhi Street and Xizhi Street, in this case, the rebels stationed in the city will have the opportunity to launch a counterattack, who expected that the Zheng family soldiers did not rush and fight at all, but step by step, house by house began to clean up, what is even more terrible is that the firearms in the hands of the Zheng family army soldiers are too sharp, and they can be fired from a long distance.

Half an hour later, Su Manzi led 2,000 people to rush to Nanzhi Street, leaving 1,000 people to guard the houses in the east.

An hour later, Su Congjin led 2,000 people to rush to Nanzhi Street, and he left 2,000 people to guard the houses in the north.

Liu Zeqing, who attacked Xizhi Street, captured a lot of prisoners, and many of them surrendered voluntarily, and there was no fight at all.

The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the Zheng Jiajun slowly began to approach the palace.

Many sources of intelligence prove that Zhang Xianzhong is in the palace.

The casualties of the Zheng family army have increased a little, the street battles in the city, many factors are unpredictable, the number of soldiers who were shot by bows and arrows is still quite a lot, some are not fatal, but the soldiers who were shot can only reluctantly withdraw from the battle and kill.

Before long, the soldiers of the Zheng family army finally surrounded the city.

The battle on the periphery is still ongoing, and the sporadic gunshots are proof, but this kind of fighting has become very rare, after all, after two hours of fighting, Zheng Jinhong has found that the main force of the Liukou is distributed in Nanzhi Street, especially around the center of the mansion, which is the key defense place of the Liukou.

The number of rogues who surrendered was quite large, and these people were quickly escorted out of the city and held in a fixed place outside the city.

Because of the increase in the number of casualties, Zheng Jinhong was extremely angry, he had ordered the artillery battalion to transport five Furlong machines, he didn't want the soldiers to storm the government, this is to fight with their lives, the houses of the government are strong, and the attack will encounter great difficulties, but it is much easier to use artillery.

When the five-door furlong machine was aimed at the government office, Zheng Jinhong coldly gave the order to bombard.

This time it was an all-round bombing, and it was a big deal to blow up the government office, and it would be necessary to rebuild it in the future.

Whistling shells landed in the palace, and the remaining snowflakes flew into the air with dirt and stones.

Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Wenxiu are indeed in the government, and some high-ranking officers are also in the government.

At the beginning of the fighting in the city, Zhang Xianzhong still had a certain degree of confidence, but as more and more people surrendered, as Xizhi Street and Nanzhi Street were gradually captured, Zhang Xianzhong knew that there was no hope, and he led some of the soldiers to retreat to the government and prepare for the final resistance.

The house is very strong, and the walls are also very high, and it is not so easy for the soldiers of the Zheng family army to attack it.

However, Zhang Xianzhong forgot about the artillery of the Zheng family, and the walls of Kuizhou Mansion were all blown up, not to mention the government office.

The cannonballs fell in the middle of the palace, the stones were blown up all over the sky, and the sergeants who had no time to dodge followed the stones into the air, and the sergeants stationed around them scurried around like headless flies.

Zhang Xianzhong's eyes were red, and he quickly understood that it was a stupid decision to ask thousands of sergeants to guard the mansion, and if he couldn't rush out, then the final result would be that everyone would be killed.

While the shells were still exploding, the order was given to rush out and fight.

Dozens of volunteer sergeants risked their lives to open the gate of the government and charged outside.

Waiting for them were the whizzing bullets.

The dozens of people quickly lay on the ground, no longer moving.

The door of the mansion was quiet for a few seconds, and then, the swarm of sergeants began to charge outside from the door, and in the process of charging, there was a rain of arrows towards the Zheng family soldiers.

A crisp burst of gunfire appeared, and a continuous burst of fire began.

Under the sound of gunfire, a large number of sergeants fell, falling at the entrance of the government and outside.

The cavalry of the Zheng family army also launched an attack at this time, and they rushed towards the fleeing rogues at the fastest speed, suppressing the charging momentum that the rogues had built up with great difficulty in an instant.

The cavalry led by Liu Zeqing and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion rushed into the palace.

His target is Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong's foreign trade has long been painted as an image, so that every Zheng Jiajun soldier who participated in the expedition will remember it.

The cavalry fought mercilessly in the palace, and they were the most stubborn rogues, and it was their goal to kill them all.

The first courtyard was broken through, and the cavalry entered the second courtyard, which is where the lobby, the second hall and the wing room are located, and Zhang Xianzhong is also the most likely to be here.

As soon as I entered the second courtyard, a rain of arrows came, shooting from the direction of the lobby.

Several sergeants who rushed ahead were shot by bows and arrows, and several fell off their horses.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion quickly pulled the trigger, and the bullets whistled towards the lobby.

The screams appeared instantly, and at this moment, the cavalry charged in the direction of the lobby......

When Zheng Xunrui entered the palace, the battle was completely over.

Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Wenxiu and others were escorted over, and Zhang Xianzhong, who was in the wing, originally planned to commit suicide, but Zheng Jiajun's speed was too fast, so he didn't have time to commit suicide.

Zheng Xunrui looked at Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Wenxiu coldly.

"You are all heroes in troubled times, it's a pity that you were born at the wrong time, I don't want to say anything more to you, the pursuit of glory and wealth is human nature, so I can't say that you are wrong, you know the truth of becoming a king and defeating a king, since you are defeated in my hands, then you can only appoint."

After saying these words, Zheng Xunrui waved his hand and signaled that Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Wenxiu and others would be escorted out and killed.

It is said that capturing Zhang Xianzhong alive is a huge victory, and Zheng Xunrui should have a good experience, but he suddenly lost interest. (To be continued.) )
