The south gate was finally opened with the unremitting efforts of the soldiers entering the city. The Ming army staying at the door swarmed in under the leadership of Jiang Cheng. Seeing that the Ming army had entered the city again, Chen Zhongzhi didn't bother with Huang Qiqi, and took his soldiers to immediately go down to the city to join Jiang Cheng's troops to chase and kill the rebels who fled to Shuicheng.

And the battle in the northern city is getting more and more intense. Finally, a few soldiers of the Liaodong Army killed the city wall. Seeing this situation, some military attachés of the Shaozhuang faction in the Liaodong Army, such as Wu Sangui and Zu Kuan, also personally led the army to launch a siege.

The small stream that the Ming army broke through on the northern city wall immediately turned into a large gap. Li Yingyuan's rebels found Kong Youde and they were fleeing to Shuicheng again, so they had no intention of fighting at all, and they took a break to run down the city wall and flee towards Shuicheng.

Li Yingyuan also turned around and began to run away. At this time, there were only three or five soldiers left around him. Li Yingyuan didn't dare to turn back at all, he hurriedly ran from the stairs to the city wall, for fear that he would be entangled by the Liaodong army attacking the city wall.

Li Yingyuan only heard a scream behind him, and those voices were very familiar, they were all his own soldiers who got along day and night. So Li Yingyuan's steps were faster, and when there were still two or three steps left to go down the city wall, suddenly, Li Yingyuan heard a gust of wind behind him, and then he felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder, so Li Yingyuan immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Li Yingyuan struggled to turn over, and was immediately pressed to the ground by a group of soldiers of the Liaodong Army. In the struggle, Li Yingyuan's helmet also fell off, and his long hair was also scattered, looking particularly embarrassed.

A soldier of the Liaodong Army grabbed Li Yingyuan's hair, and together with several other Liaodong soldiers who grabbed Li Yingyuan's hands, they lifted Li Yingyuan from the ground and escorted him in front of a military attache of the Liaodong Army.

Li Yingyuan felt that the bone in his right shoulder must have been shattered, and he grinned in pain. And he also knew the military attache of the Liaodong Army in front of him, who was the Zu Kuan who shot Li Yingyuan's father to death with an arrow.

You can't lose if you lose. Li Yingyuan stiffened his neck and yelled at Zu Kuan: "The bastard raised by the son of a bitch, if there is a kind, give Lao Tzu a good time!" ”

Zu Kuan raised his leg and kicked Li Yingyuan's lower abdomen. Then he stepped forward and patted Li Yingyuan's right cheek and said, "Lao Tzu killed your father first, and now he has arrested you bastard." Don't worry, Lao Tzu won't kill you now, I want to send you to the capital, and enjoy your style of cutting thousands of knives at the entrance of the vegetable market! hahahaha！ Take! ”

In Li Yingyuan's series of angry scoldings, a group of soldiers from the Liaodong Army rushed up and tied him up and took him down. Zu Kuan immediately ordered: "It's all for Lao Tzu to hurry up, those Shandong dogs have already robbed us of our first merit, and now we have to catch the hole thief and the thief together, don't lose the face of our Guanning Iron Horse." ”

But no matter how fast the Liaodong Army moved. It is also faster than the coalition army of Wu Shigong and Liu Zeqing, who have been in the city for a long time. Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng's movements were quite blocky, and most of the rebels who had not yet retreated into Shuicheng and escaped from the northern city wall were intercepted by them.

Seeing that the situation was not good, a large number of rebels surrendered to Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng's Ming army. They did not dare to surrender to the Liaodong Army. At that time in Liaodong, the contradictions between these rebels from Dongjiang Town and the Liaodong Army were too deep.

What made Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng even more excited. Before the rebels could move into Watertown, several warehouses of goods fell into their hands. In addition, there was an unexpected trophy, and in a neighborhood consisting of dozens of houses, nearly 500 young women in ragged clothes were found in custody and remnants of the rebels.

But at this time, the Liaodong Army also came, and Qiu Lei's troops also entered the city. When they saw these prisoners and goods, the three Ming armies immediately seemed to be red-eyed. It's time to start robbing prisoners and goods.

The three follow-up reinforcements of the Ming army, that speed is fast! Everyone is a Scud, and everyone is Takejiro. If Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian hadn't rushed into Dengzhou City in time, maybe these three Ming armies would have caught fire on the spot under the noses of the rebels.

Ultimately. This is also because Wu Shigong and Liu Zeqing ate too much alone, and they didn't leave a single bite of soup for the other Ming troops. It was not until Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian ordered the warehouse to be kept and distributed by them that the three Ming armies ceased hostilities.

But when the Ming army was confronted, the rebels who were in chaos also took advantage of this time to organize. By the time the Ming army was organized again, the rebels would have been waiting for the city of Shuicheng for a long time. And this time, Wu Shigong and Liu Zeqing, the two "leak experts", have been blacklisted by all the civil and military officials of the Ming army, so they were all squeezed out of the ranks of the Ming army that attacked Shuicheng this time.

Although Wu Shigong also entered the city, neither he nor the Runing Army went to the place where they were facing each other to dazzle. Anyway, Wu Shigong has absolute trust in Liu Zeqing, and a person who is so bold that he dares to play yin with Sheng Yangong, how can he be a soft egg at this time?

Wu Shigong first asked the Runing army to grab the Western artillery erected on the wall of the West City. Sadly, the Western artillery sold by the Portuguese to Sun Yuanhua at that time was all ship guns and fortress guns. The power is sufficient, but it is simply difficult to move, and it is impossible to even turn the muzzle of the cannon to bombard the water city now.

And later, after Qiu Lei's Ming army went to the west city wall, he didn't let the Runing army move anymore. So when he arrived in Zuihou, Wu Shigong concentrated all his manpower and horsepower and carried four six-pounder guns and dragged them back to Nancheng.

However, smaller caliber artillery is very rewarding. A total of twenty-seven guns of about one pound were captured. This can also be seen how thorough and crazy Sun Yuanhua's firearms reform was at that time!

The others are the tools and gunpowder shells that artillery needs, and Wu Shigong doesn't care whether it's useful or not, anyway, he gives these things to a pot. And there are even more firecrackers and weapons thrown down. And the vast majority of these were also grabbed by the Runing army. This advanced city is indeed a big advantage!

And the soldiers of the Runing Army were busy, and Wu Shigong himself was not idle. He is appeasing Huang Qiqi and Song Jiangzong.

"You don't have to worry. Since you have taken refuge in the Ruler, the Ruler will shelter you. Think about it for yourselves, and if you are willing to stay with the official, then the official will arrange for you. If you do not want to, the official will also send you to the governor and the overseer, so that they can reward you. ”

After discussing for a while, Huang Qiqi took more than 230 soldiers under his command to join Wu Shigong. And Song Jiang, with more than 500 rebels anyway, decided to surrender to Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian.

In fact, this choice is not difficult to make, it must be who is going to take refuge in whom! Needless to say, the official positions of Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian and Wu Shigong, a small capital, are so far apart.

And Huang Qiqi also hesitated for a long time before deciding to take refuge in Wu Shigong. The reason why he took refuge in Wu Shigong was mainly because in the last negotiation, Wu Shigong's amazing performance shocked Huang Qiqi's soul too strongly. In other words, a phrase often used in modern times: Huang Qiqi is not interested in Wu Shigong's official position, but Wu Shigong as a person.

Wu Shigong did not break his promise, first sent someone to send Song and the others away, and then began to arrange for Huang Qiqi.

"Your person, this officer guarantees the safety. Your private property, the official promises not to move. If you still want to be a soldier, you can come to the Runing Army of this officer. However, the official's Ru Ningjun has very high requirements, and he can only get full salary if he passes the assessment. ”

"You can also inquire about it, the officer's Runing Army's salary is never in arrears, and it is paid in full. However, it is not easy to be a soldier of this officer, you must be disciplined, and you must also be able to endure hardships. Anyway, if you are willing to become a soldier, you can try for three months first, and then make a decision, and the officer guarantees that you can come and go freely. ”

"Those who do not want to be soldiers will receive twenty taels of silver each to find a way out. You can also follow the official to Runing without money, and each person rents the official's 20 acres of land, as long as the official is in office for one day, the land rent is fixed and paid 10%. You can choose for yourself anyway. ”

"As for you military attachés, to be honest, this official is also a capital department, and it is impossible to arrange too high an official position for you. Let's just say that you are Huang Qian, and at most you will have a general official position. ”

Wu Shigong looked at Huang Qiqi's ugly face, and then said, "It sounds like the conditions of this official are very harsh. But there is a good thing about following this official, this official never does anything that breaks promises, what should be yours is definitely yours. As for the treatment, the total military salary of the official Runing Army is far more than the total military salary of the Ming Army. Of course, we definitely don't have this kind of extra money in the Runing Army. How to choose, anyway, Huang Qian always looks at it. ”

After finishing speaking, Wu Shigong left. He left Yu Ji by Huang Qiqi's side and prepared Huang Qiqi's questions. In Wu Shigong's opinion, if Huang Qiqi and these rebels can stay, it will be good, if they can't stay, it doesn't matter. To be honest, Wu Shigong still felt that his conditions were too superior.

Of course, Huang Qiqi felt that this condition was not satisfied. But he couldn't help it, and now it was impossible to surrender to Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian again. So Huang Qiqi had no choice but to get on Wu Shigong's boat.

Wu Shigong gave these rebels enough time to discuss, and it was not until the evening of the same day that the rebels discussed the result, and only about eighty people were willing to stay. And all they have to go is silver, they are used to living on the tip of the knife, and it is impossible for them to become farmers again.

Wu Shigong asked these unwilling rebels to be sent to the camp of the Henan Army, and then simply organized the remaining people into a company.

Huang Qiqi definitely didn't want to become a civilian like this, so he temporarily served as the company commander of this company and awarded the rank of general. Wu Shigong didn't get the consent of Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, so he just talked to himself and arranged the rebels of Huang Qiqi anyway.

Wu Shigong was busy compiling, while Liu Zeqing was busy counting the seized property. The gold, silver, and jewelry that had fallen into his hands were not counted from the captured rebels, and it was impossible for Liu Zeqing to hand over all the goods in the warehouse to Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian. In addition, there are armor, firearms, and weapons. The only regret is that when the rebels fled in a hurry, they rode all the horses away, and this time the combined forces of Wu Shigong and Liu Zeqing did not capture a single horse.
