"What else can I do? Find a place to rest first. If it really doesn't work, go back to Shaanxi and accumulate strength. When the vitality is restored, then avenge the Governor."

He Renlong's words meant that righteousness was awesome, but his intention was very obvious, that was, to avoid war and protect himself, and to sit back and watch Fu Zonglong's demise.

Li Guoqi had the same idea. After his previous defeat, he no longer had the fighting spirit and only wanted to save his army and life. As for saving Fu Zonglong, there was no possibility of anything.

Just as the two of them were talking, another army came under the city. When the two saw that it was Yang Wenyue's general Hu Dawei. They were a little alert in their hearts and did not want him to enter the city, so they secretly ordered the guards not to let him enter the city.

Hu Dawei had no choice but to decide to lead his army to Kaifeng, hoping to get the protection of Henan Governor Ma Mingfeng and let his troops eat first.

At this time, Fu Zonglong had no idea that the two generals he relied on had no idea of ​​saving him now. However, if it weren't for the rescue of those two generals, he wouldn't have been trapped in a siege.

"It has been ten days since we were surrounded. Since the fifth day, we have no food. The army can only survive by killing mules and horses. Now the mules and horses are almost killed. We can only eat the corpses of the thief army. It seems that He Renlong, Li Guoqi and others are afraid of death, so they dare not come. However, as the governor of the three sides, I have been deeply grateful to the emperor and can't be afraid of death. Now I can only sacrifice my life and have to lead the army to break through the siege."

Fu Zonglong sighed and ordered the count of soldiers, but in the end, there were only more than 8,000 soldiers left except for the injured and dead.

Fu Zonglong gathered the more than 8,000 people together and decided to wait until the evening to attack the thieves' camp and take the opportunity to break out.

Since He Renlong, Li Guoqi, Hu Dawei and others broke through, the rebel army strengthened its defense against both sides of the pine forest. Fu Zonglong once led his army to break through there and was stubbornly blocked. He thought of this point, so he naturally would not choose the direction of his sneak attack on both sides of the pine forest. Of course, it was impossible to choose the camp where Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai led the main force, so he chose the left army led by Tian Jianxiu.

Because the Ming army is now like a turtle in a jar, the rebels gradually relaxed their vigilance. In Tian Jianxiu's camp, the soldiers on duty were drinking and sleeping, and they did not expect that the crisis was approaching them step by step.

Commander Fu Zonglong led a large army to the camp quietly, shouted, and directly rushed towards the relaxed rebel army.

At the same time, Fu Zonglong's personal soldiers set fires everywhere, causing chaos in the camp.

On this night, there were fire and killing everywhere. Tian Jianxiu's soldiers didn't know how many people had come to each other. He thought it was the army that rescued Fu Zonglong, and ran around in panic, which further aggravated the chaos.

Fu Zonglong and others killed happily in the camp, but they knew that the other party's strength was far stronger than them. Now they just had the advantage because of accidents. Once the other party reacted, they could not escape the word "death", so Fu Zonglong did not dare to fight at all. He led his soldiers to drill through the camp and then broke through directly.

The chaos in Tian Jianxiu Camp quickly attracted the attention of Li Zicheng and others. Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others saw the fire here and heard the shouts of killing. They immediately realized that this should be Fu Zonglong's night attack, so they immediately led their troops to support.

However, when the supportive army came outside Tian Jianxiu's camp, they found that Fu Zonglong's army had broken through.

Seeing this scene, Li Zicheng couldn't help but feel angry. Tian Jianxiu was considered a veteran on the battlefield, but was successfully broken by Fu Zonglong.

However, at this time, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai immediately ordered the cavalry under their command to pursue him and be sure to capture Fu Zonglong alive.

In fact, although Fu Zonglong broke through successfully, he knew that the crisis had not been resolved, so he led the army to escape desperately. However, because he had killed all the mules and horses before, this team of 8,000 people could only escape on foot, which caused them to be very slow. After running for thirty or forty miles, they were finally caught up by the cavalry of the rebel army.

Seeing this scene, Fu Zonglong sighed suddenly. Although Xiangcheng was only ten miles away from them at most, the ten miles were now as out of reach as clouds in the sky. He knew that his army would be surrounded by the rebel army and then killed, and he himself would probably become the other party's captive.

"I, Fu Zonglong, have been proud all my life, but I didn't expect to die here. However, this was my own fault. At that time, Governor Ma's persuasion made me be careful of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, but I didn't take it seriously at all, resulting in the plot of the thief army. If I could listen to his persuasion and respond carefully, I might not have ended today."

Fu Zonglong thought of this and then sighed softly: "But even in the current situation, I believed Governor Ma and made a batch of mines and grenades, which gave the thieves a considerable lethal power at the critical moment, so that I could hold the position. Otherwise, I would probably find it difficult for me to support it until now. However, after all, the mistakes I made were too great and the strength of the thief army was too strong. These mines and grenades alone could not help me escape smoothly. God can still forgive my sins, but I can't survive. It's all my fault. It's a pity that so many loyal and brave men can only follow me and have to bury them. I really regret it... "

Fu Zonglong felt extremely regretful in his heart, because his thoughts had caused such serious consequences. He was really not willing to die!

At this time, only the sound of horse hooves was heard. The soldiers of the rebel army quickly surrounded them in the middle. I am afraid that there would be no need to think about what would happen if they were waiting for them next.

Among the cavalrymen, one of them wore a felt hat and shouted to Fu Zonglong: "Fu Zonglong, you are now in a desperate situation and have no way to escape. I think you are a talented person, so I am willing to give you a way out. As long as you are willing to surrender, I can promise to save your life. Otherwise, you should be very clear about the outcome."

Fu Zonglong heard this and sneered: "Since I, Fu Zonglong, have committed suicide, and I will die today, so why bother?"

Li Zicheng was furious and said, "Since you don't want to live, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Then Li Zicheng shouted loudly: "All the soldiers obey orders and launch an attack immediately!"

However, at this moment, I heard a shocking shout of killing not far behind. Then the earth trembled, and the sound of horse hooves treading on the ground was like thunder, resounding in everyone's ears.
