East Factory Governor

Chapter 567
Inside the general's mansion.

A spy rushed to report to Li Zicheng, "Chuang Wang, it's not good, Chuang Wang! Qilang, Qilang is also rebelling!"

Li Zicheng was shocked when he heard the news, and stood up abruptly.

A chill came up from the bottom of his feet.

After pondering for a while, he hurriedly asked, "Have you notified Bai Jiu'er and Chong Tianzhu?"

The spy hurriedly said, "I don't dare to make decisions on my own, so I came to ask King Chuang, do you want to inform them?"

Li Zicheng nodded, "Good job."

If the spy had informed Bai Jiu'er and Chong Tianzhu earlier, they would have had enough time to think about it, and they might not have gone to the north gate, and even chose to surrender.

But if the two armies are allowed to contact without notification, they will definitely fight.The reason is very simple, because many of Bai Jiu'er and Chong Tianzhu's subordinates are Li Zicheng's confidantes.At the beginning, all the rogues respected Gao Yingxiang as the leader of the alliance. In order to show the prestige of the leader, Gao Yingxiang helped the rogues with a lot of weapons and sent people to help train the soldiers.Li Zicheng took this opportunity to secretly cultivate many confidantes among the rogues in order to strengthen his control over the rogues.

The lieutenant under Bai Jiu'er was one of Li Zicheng's confidantes. Seeing that Bai Jiu'er was hesitant, he decisively made a decision for him, which triggered a big battle between the two sides.Although not every confidant trained by Li Zicheng has the courage to do so, but in that situation, as long as one person comes out as the fuse, the flames of war can be quickly ignited!
Li Zicheng expected that the two sides had already started a war, so he immediately ordered, "Go, find Li Guo, and let him bring 5000 people to reinforce! In addition, let the Heisha God in the west of the city take his 9000 people there too! Tell them, as long as they can keep the North The door, this king will provide them with food and grass for three years!"

The man quickly ran out with Li Zicheng's warrant.

Li Zicheng sat dejectedly on the wooden chair, rubbing his swollen temples, feeling extremely uneasy.In his heart, there is one more thing that worries him the most.

It didn't take long for his worst fears to be confirmed.

"Report! King Chuang! Li Chang has turned his back too! He opened the city gate and let the officers and soldiers in!"

Li Zicheng didn't stand up this time, he was like a statue, motionless!
North of Weinan City!

Caught off guard, Bai Jiu'er and Chong Tianzhu started a fierce battle with Liu Guoneng's and Qilang's men.Because Liu Guoneng's and Qilang's troops had launched an outflank earlier, and the soldiers of Liu Guoneng's department were obviously more well-trained than those of Bai Jiuer and Chongtianzhu, so Bai Jiuer and Chongtianzhu were at a great disadvantage.

After fighting for a while, Li Chang behind also rushed up with his direct troops.Like Liu Guoneng and Qilang, in order to show his determination to surrender to the officers and soldiers, he fought hard with Bai Jiu'er and Chong Tianzhu, and beat them ruthlessly!

Soldiers from both sides were originally gathered together, so they had to fight while fighting. Soon every street, every open space, and even residents' yards in the entire North City became a battlefield.The people closed their doors and windows tightly, listening to the loud shouts of killing outside, and watching the little fire light coming in from the windows, they could only hide at home and shiver!

A brutal and chaotic fight!Bai Jiuer and Chong Tianzhu had a total of 8000 people, which was far less than the combined forces of Liu Guoneng, Qilang, and Li Chang, which had a total of nearly [-], so they were quickly surrounded.

It is only a matter of time before Bai Jiu'er and Chong Tianzhu's troops are wiped out.

At the same time, officers and soldiers continued to pour into the city in an endless stream.In addition to leaving 4000 people on each of the east, west, and south sides to continue the siege, the remaining [-] or so government troops have all been pulled to the north gate and filed in from the north gate.

After the officers and soldiers entered the city, they did not go to deal with Bai Jiu'er and the skyrocketing column, but went straight ahead and set up a pocket array four miles away from the north city wall, waiting for Li Zicheng's reinforcements to come!

In the south of the city, Li Guo, the nephew of Li Zicheng, marched northward with [-] elite soldiers.But at this moment, a person rushed over and shouted, "General Li, General Li stay! Chuang Wang has an order!"

Li Guo immediately ordered the army to stop, but saw the man running to say, "General Li, the north gate guard Li Chang has surrendered! King Chuang wants you to gather in the south of the city!"

Li Guo was shocked, and immediately ordered the soldiers to turn around and go back to the south of the city!

The Heisha God who set out from the west of the city was not so lucky, because his station was too close to the north of the city, and the messengers sent by Li Zicheng failed to catch up with him in time, and soon he entered the pocket formation of the official army!
Zhang Xiao, who was transferred to command this street battle, gave an order, and the officers and soldiers immediately rushed out from all directions, and surrounded the 9000 people of Heisha God tightly!
Then, the massacre began!
Li Zicheng hurried out from the general's mansion and rushed to the south of the city with a team of personal guards.

His mood was extremely gloomy at the moment.Originally, in the city, there were 5 of his direct troops, 5 troops of Liu Guoneng, and more than [-] soldiers and horses from various friendly troops. He was [-]% sure that he could hold Weinan.However, because of Liu Guoneng's rebellion, not only did he lose [-] troops under his command, but also caused more than [-] friendly troops from all walks of life to either surrender or be surrounded and wiped out.

Until now, the only ones he can command are his direct troops.And these [-] troops of the direct line had lost nearly [-] in the battle of defending the city, and [-] were taken away by Li Chang, and now only [-] are left.

Li Zicheng knew very well that his situation was over!At this time, the only thing he can do is to break out from the south gate - because Weinan City has no secret way out of the city.

And among the only [-] soldiers left, at least [-] should be set aside to continue fighting against the government troops in various cities in order to hold back the strength of the government troops.

Li Zicheng stepped on his horse, took one last look at the General's Mansion with nostalgia, then whipped his whip hard, and headed towards the south gate.

Ten thousand is ten thousand, I, Li Zicheng, will make a comeback one day!
Li Zicheng led his troops to the south of the city. At this time, the south of the city was not counted as the soldiers on the top of the city, and more than 8000 people had gathered under the city.Li Zicheng didn't have time to wait any longer, he knew that those miscellaneous troops in the north of the city wouldn't be able to stop them for long.

He immediately said to the guards at the south gate, "Open the gate, I want to go out of the city and fight them to the death!"

The rogues guarding the gate all stared at Li Zicheng with wide eyes, thinking they had heard it wrong.

Li Zicheng drew out his waist knife, pointed at him and roared, "This king said to open the door, did you hear me?"

All the rogues opened the city gate hurriedly!

Li Zicheng raised his saber and shouted to the people behind him, "All soldiers, follow me and rush out of the city!"

Among the more than 8000 people, there are [-] cavalry—all the cavalry in the city are here!

The officers and soldiers outside the city were surprised to see that the city gate opened by itself, and rushed in subconsciously!However, they encountered cavalrymen who were running wildly, and they suffered heavy casualties immediately.

Under the protection of cavalry, Li Zicheng left the city smoothly.

At this time, there were only less than [-] official troops attacking the south gate. Facing Li Zicheng's [-] cavalry with [-] cavalry, he was helpless!
However, to everyone's surprise, after the eight thousand troops left the city, they did not entangle with the officers and soldiers, but went straight to the west!
