Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 59 Chapter 59, Zhu Cihong showed great power, and Gao Jie's army was completely wiped out
Gao Jie used all his strength to suck the milk, and with the few dozen subordinates around him, he ran towards Deshengmen desperately.

At this point, he no longer thinks about conquering the capital, nor does he think about glory and wealth. He just wants to leave this city alive, and even wishes he had never been here in his life!
While running wildly, Desheng Gate was already in sight.

At some point, the moon quietly emerged from the clouds, casting a silver glow on the ground.

With the help of the moonlight, Gao Jie saw many figures above and below the walls of Deshengmen, but the distance was far away, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the Chuangjun or the official army for a while.

At this time, there was a sound of shouting and killing from behind, and it was Li Guozhen, the uncle of Xiangcheng, who was leading the army to catch up.

Gao Jie didn't care about other things at this time, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Zhou Ci has a ghost, kill him quickly!"

Gao Jie yelled several times, his voice pierced the night sky and spread far away.

At this moment, a gunshot suddenly entered Gao Jie's ears, and a subordinate who was beside Gao Jie screamed and was killed on the spot.

Gao Jie was taken aback, and subconsciously slowed down.

Just a few seconds later, there was another gunshot, and another subordinate beside Gao Jie also fell down.

Gao Jie was startled and angry, and shouted: "There are firecrackers on the city wall, dodge quickly!"

At this time, Gao Jie already knew very clearly that the five hundred of his own people who stayed at the city gate were finished, otherwise, where would the firecrackers come from?
But you have to know that the houses near the city gate have already been demolished because they need stone and wood to defend the city, so where is the place to hide?

Several shots fired one after another, and the subordinates around Gao Jie kept falling down, while the rest of the subordinates shouted and fled in all directions.

Gao Jie felt something was wrong, and wanted to find a hiding place, when suddenly another shot was fired, followed by a sharp pain in his right calf.

With a scream, Gao Jie fell directly to the ground, desperately trying to cover the wound, but blood still gushed out.

At this moment, Gao Jie completely felt what despair is!
The sounds of countless killings came from all directions. Gao Jie clearly heard the tragic death of his subordinates one after another. He became more frightened and crawled with one injured leg.

But it was too late.

"Here, I found it!"

There was a dense sound of footsteps, and countless Ming officers and soldiers holding torches surrounded Gao Jie. The shining blades reflected the firelight, making Gao Jie unable to open his eyes.

"Don't kill me, I am Li Zicheng's Gao Jie, I am willing to surrender!" Gao Jie shouted.

Li Guozhen's voice came over coldly: "Why should I believe you?"

Gao Jie shouted: "I have an affair with Li Zicheng's wife Xing, Li Zicheng will find out sooner or later!"

Li Guozhen obviously paused for a few seconds, and then said: "I have nothing to say about this matter, it depends on what the crown prince has to say."

Gao Jie clutched his calf, his face turned pale from the pain, he was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Prince?"

Suddenly, a face flashed across Gao Jie's mind like lightning, causing him to call out, "Zhou Ci, is it Zhou Ci?"

Zhu Cihong's voice sounded: "It's Zhou Ci, or it could be the prince."

Gao Jie raised his head, looked at Zhu Cihong who was close at hand, and the long barrel protruding from behind Zhu Cihong, and said with some despair: "I should have thought of it earlier, Prince, I am willing to surrender, just spare my life, the court wants If you want to know anything, I will confess everything!"

Zhu Cilang squatted down and said, "How do I remember that you defected to the army a long time ago?"

Gao Jie: "???"

Looking at Gao Jie with a dazed face, Zhu Cihong decided not to pursue this matter anymore, but waved his hand: "Come here, tie him up and take him down for safekeeping. By the way, remember to find a doctor to treat him."

Gao Jie was dragged away, and before leaving, he still shouted: "Thank you, Prince, for your kindness!"

Li Guozhen walked up to Zhu Cihuang, and said with some doubts: "Prince, this Gao Jie is a general under Li Zicheng's command, why not kill him to boost the morale of the soldiers?"

Zhu Cihong smiled slightly, and said: "We have already killed quite a few of Li Zicheng's generals. Didn't they all include Liu Zongmin and Liu Fangliang? Since Gao Jie is willing to surrender, it is a good time to find out from him the current situation of the bandit army."

Li Guozhen thought for a while, nodded and said: "That makes sense."

Raising his head, Li Guozhen looked around at the other soldiers present, and found that everyone had excited and excited smiles on their faces.

Soon, a large number of commandos who temporarily hid nearby were searched out one after another. In addition, a group had already chosen to surrender. After a careful inventory, it was found that more than 1000 people had been captured.

The voice of the system sounded at the right time: "After testing, a total of 1477 people were killed in this battle. Congratulations to the host for completing the task!"

Zhu Cihong waited for a few seconds, and found that the system did not continue to speak, and said, "No more?"

"The system will issue the task again when the time is right, just ask the host to pay attention at any time."

"..."

Zhu Cihong raised his head and said to Li Guozhen who was beside him: "Uncle Xiangcheng, I will leave this place to you from now on. I will go back to the palace, so I can rest my father's heart."

Zhu Cihong now understands Chongzhen. This father seems to have a lot of ideas, but in fact, when he encounters something, his head is empty and he is nothing.

Li Guozhen hurriedly said: "Prince, don't worry, I will handle it properly."

If it is said that a few days ago, Li Guozhen still had some thoughts in his heart that he wanted to compete with Zhu Cihong, but now this thought has already been thrown to Java by Li Guozhen.

The reason is also very simple, Zhu Cihong is really...too powerful.

Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Li Yan, plus the current Gao Jie, Li Zicheng alone has four generals who have fallen into Zhu Cihong's hands.

You must know that these four people, as Li Zicheng's vanguard, set off from Shaanxi in just two months and swept across most of North China with lightning speed, but now they are all defeated in front of Zhu Cihong.

After all, Li Guozhen is a soldier. He is different from those civil servants who are stubborn. Soldiers are tougher and more easily conquered by the strong.

If you are strong, I will obey you, the reason is as simple as that.

Li Guozhen watched Zhu Cihong go away, then turned his head, and said to the many officers and soldiers around him in a deep voice: "Everyone cheer up, there will be another wave of bandits outside the city soon, this time we must make them overwhelmed Go around!"

When many officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty heard the words, they immediately responded with a loud bang.

At this moment, Li Zicheng's various soldiers and horses had also launched a night attack, and the outside of Beijing was filled with flames and killing sounds, making it extremely lively.

Even though it was located in the imperial palace, Chongzhen could still see clearly from outside the Fengtian Hall, so he couldn't help being quite anxious at the moment.

"Where is Xun'er? Where is Xun'er? Send someone quickly to ask how Xun'er is doing. Then ask Xun'er what to do!"

Wang Chengen was about to leave after receiving the order, when suddenly Zhu Cixiang's voice came.

"Father, don't worry, the enemy general Gao Jie has already been captured without a fight, and all the bandits who invaded the capital have been wiped out!"

Chongzhen was overjoyed immediately.
