"What?" After hearing Fu Zonglong say this, all the guards on the Black Knight Pass were stunned.

At this moment, Fu Zonglong shouted loudly: "What are you hesitating now? I was held hostage by a thief. Remember, I would rather die than surrender!"

After saying that, Fu Zonglong swung his gun and stabbed Li Zicheng not far away.

After all, they were all on the war horses. Li Zicheng rode his horse gently to the side and immediately dodged. However, he finally understood that Fu Zonglong had fake surrender before, with the purpose of tricking him to come here to relieve Ma Mingfeng's pressure. At the same time, because of those bewitching words, he carried Luo Rucai to Tongguan and planted the seeds of the two of them.

After Li Zicheng figured it out, he was furious in his heart. Unexpectedly, he was fooled by this guy. The angry Li Zizhen ordered: "Kill Fu Zonglong for me and tear him to pieces!"

Then the soldiers around Li Zicheng rushed forward and killed Fu Zonglong with his sword.

Fu Zonglong looked calm until his death. His eyes looked at Li Zicheng full of mockery, as if he was not the one who was killed, but Li Zicheng.

At the same time, the soldiers on the city were all shocked and then burst into tears. They never expected that the governor was so strong that he would rather die than make a compromise.

"Governor!" Seeing this scene, the soldiers on the city of Guan were all heartbroken, and they gritted their teeth and shot arrows under the city.

I saw arrows falling like rain. Although the soldiers of the rebel army kept hiding, thousands of casualties were also suffered.

This time, Li Zicheng only brought five thousand cavalry, and he lost a lot of thousands of people at once, so many of them made him feel distressed.

However, Li Zicheng didn't care about so much at this time and immediately ordered the knights under his command to trample on Fu Zonglong's body. He also cut off Fu Zonglong's head and kicked it as a ball.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the city almost burst into flames in their eyes. They were furious and furious, picking up their weapons and leaving the city, fighting with the bandits.

At this time, the governor of Shaanxi, Wang Qiaonian, blocked the city gate and said loudly: "No one is allowed to move, can't you see it? This is the treacherous siege's plan to lure the enemy. The other party is all cavalry, all of them are thousands of cavalry. With your little force, wouldn't you go out and die? It doesn't matter if you die, who will be responsible for the loss of Tongguan? Once Tongguan is lost, the entire Shaanxi will be ravaged by the treacherous siege. Do you have to watch the elders of your hometown be killed by the treacherous siege?"

Wang Qiaonian, a native of Sui'an County, Yanzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi. He was upright, talented and outstanding in governance. He was the governor of Shaanxi at the time. After Fu Zonglong left, he was fully responsible for Shaanxi affairs. At that time, Fu Zonglong led the elite Shaanxi troops to Henan, and Wang Qiaonian led thousands of elderly, weak and disabled people to guard Tongguan. Wang Qiaonian originally expected Fu Zonglong to bring a big victory to the Ming Dynasty, but unexpectedly he watched Fu Zonglong be killed on the top of the city.

In fact, he was also very sad at this time. This kind of grief was no less than other soldiers, and even more because he knew that Fu Zonglong was the hope of the Ming Dynasty. Once Fu Zonglong died, no one could suppress the bandits. If possible, he would rather die on behalf of Fu Zonglong.

But Wang Qiaonian knew clearly that under the current situation, even if he defended himself, he might not be able to defend himself, let alone take the initiative to go out of the city to fight. So he forced himself to endure the great grief and did not allow anyone to go out of the city to fight, otherwise he would be killed without mercy!

"What? Governor, how could you do this? Thinking about the Governor, the Governor, treated you very well."

"Isn't it? The Governor is as close to him as a brother, but now the Governor dies so miserably that he is indifferent and is simply not a son of man."

"Speak quietly, don't be heard, after all, they are now the governor."

"Bad, I don't want my life anymore, so I don't care whether he is a governor or not."

“…”

Wang Qiaonian naturally noticed those low-key comments, and some soldiers even had their voices not small, and they even deliberately let him hear them. Wang Qiaonian naturally would not blame them, but ordered his confidants to completely block the city gate and resolutely not let anyone out of the city.

Then Wang Qiaonian climbed to Guancheng and pointed at Li Zicheng and said loudly: "Breakthrough, I know your plan, but you can't imagine it. Now I have completely blocked the hole in the city gate. No one can go out. If you really have the ability, lead your cavalry to attack the city."

When Li Zicheng heard this, he knew that his conspiracy had been exposed, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Tongguan is located in a dangerous geographical location and is extremely strong. With years of material preparation, this pass becomes a very difficult pass to break. The most unfavorable condition at present is that Li Zicheng's command is all cavalry, and there is not even the siege equipment, and the food and grass are not enough. It is simply difficult to break this pass under the conditions of preparation of the opponent!

So Li Zicheng waved his hand and could only order his troops to retreat.

"Hmph, I really didn't expect that I was fooled by this old boy Fu Zonglong. But I have to say that this man is indeed a man, and he would rather die than submit to me. The reason why he tricked me here was to relieve Ma Luan's pressure? But this may disappoint him. Even Luo Rucai is enough to wipe out Ma Luan's entire army. It doesn't matter whether I go or not. However, it may be difficult to explain to Luo Rucai where I have been in the past few days. Hehe, Fu Zonglong is so stingy that it actually caused me to have a crack with "Cao Cao". I was going to wait for a while before killing Lao Luo to reorganize his army. It seems that this plan needs to be advanced."

Li Zicheng had a lot of thoughts in his heart and led his army back along the same path.

After confirming that Li Zicheng's army had left, Wang Qiaonian ordered people to open Guancheng again, walk out of the city gate, personally restrain Fu Zonglong's body, and immediately wrote a letter to Chongzhen, telling Fu Zonglong's heroic deeds in detail, and ordering him to run to the capital at an accelerated speed of 800 miles.

A few days later, Wang Qiaonian's envoy came to the capital and handed the memorial to the Ministry of War. Chen Xinjia, then Minister of War, was shocked when he heard the news. He immediately brought the memorial to meet Chongzhen in person and told him about Fu Zonglong's heroic death in the country.

When Chongzhen heard the news, he was shocked and sighed, "A loyal and brave man like Fu Zonglong is really the loyal soul of my Ming Dynasty."

He then ordered his position as Minister of War, and was awarded the title of Prince Shaobao, posthumously posthumously Zhongzhuang, and conferred his descendants the title of hereditary 100 households in brocade clothes, and ordered public memorials and public funerals.
