Gao Jie used all his energy to feed himself and ran towards Deshengmen with his few dozen subordinates around him.

Now that things have come, he no longer thinks about invading the capital, or about glory and wealth. He just wants to leave this city alive, and he even wants to never come here in his life!

While running wildly, Deshengmen was already in sight.

At some point, the moon quietly emerged from the clouds and sprinkled a piece of silver light on the ground.

With the help of the moonlight, Gao Jie saw many figures on and off the Deshengmen wall, but the distance was far, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a rebel or an official army for a while.

At this time, a burst of shouts of killing came from behind, and it was Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen who was leading the official army to chase him.

Gao Jie didn't care about anything else at this time and shouted at the top of his throat: "Zhou Ci has a ghost, kill him!"

Gao Jie shouted a few times, and the sound pierced the night sky and spread from afar.

At this moment, a gunshot suddenly came into Gao Jie's ears, and a subordinate next to Gao Jie screamed and died on the spot.

Gao Jie was shocked and subconsciously slowed down.

Just a few seconds later, another gunshot was heard, and another subordinate next to Gao Jie also fell down.

Gao Jie was shocked and angry and shouted: "There are muskets on the city wall, please dodge!"

At this time, Gao Jie knew very clearly that the five hundred people left at the city gate were finished, otherwise where would the muskets come from?

But you must know that the houses near the city gate have already been demolished because they need stone and wood to guard the city. Where can I dodge them?

After several gunshots, Gao Jie's subordinates fell down, and the remaining subordinates shouted and fled in all directions.

Gao Jie felt something was wrong and wanted to find a hiding place. Suddenly, another gunshot was heard, and then a severe pain in his right calf.

Gao Jie screamed and fell directly to the ground, trying desperately to cover his wounds, but blood still emerged.

At this moment, Gao Jie completely felt what despair was!

Countless sounds of killing came from all directions. Gao Jie clearly heard one subordinate after another tragic death. He became more and more frightened and crawled hard with a wounded leg.

But it was too late.

"Here, found!"

A burst of dense footsteps, countless Ming officials holding torches surrounded Gao Jie, and the shining blade reflected the fire, making Gao Jie feel a little unable to open his eyes.

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

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

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

Li Guozhen paused for a few seconds and then said, "I don't have the final say in this matter, it depends on what the prince said."

Gao Jie covered his calves, his face turned pale due to the pain. He was a little confused when he heard this: "Prince?"

Suddenly, a face flashed through Gao Jie's mind like lightning, making him scream: "Zhou Ci, is it Zhou Ci?"

Zhu Cilang's voice sounded: "It's Zhou Ci, or the prince."

Gao Jie looked up, looked at Zhu Cilang who was so close to him, and the long barrel stretched out from behind Zhu Cilang, and said in despair: "I should have thought of it long ago, Prince, I am willing to surrender, just spare my life. If the court wants to know, I will confess everything!"

Zhu Cixuan squatted down and said, "How do I remember you joined the government army a long time ago?"

Gao Jie: "????"

Looking at Gao Jie with a confused look on his face, Zhu Cixuan decided not to pursue this matter anymore, but waved his hand: "Come on, tie him up and take him down to take care of him. By the way, remember to find a doctor to treat him."

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

Li Guozhen walked up to Zhu Cixuan and said with some confusion: "Crown Prince, this Gao Jie is a general under Li Zicheng. Why not kill him to enhance the morale of the soldiers?"

Zhu Cixuan smiled slightly and said, "We have already killed a lot of General Li Zicheng. Are there Liu Zongmin and Liu Fangliang? Since Gao Jie is willing to surrender, he just happened to find out the current situation of the thief army from him."

Li Guozhen thought for a while and nodded, "It makes sense."

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 riot commandos hiding nearby were searched one after another. In addition, a group of people had chosen to surrender before. After careful counting, they found that more than a thousand people were captured.

The system's voice sounded at the right time: "After testing, a total of 1,477 people were killed in this battle. Congratulations to the host for completing the mission!"

Zhu Cixuan waited for a few seconds and found that the system did not continue to speak, so he said, "It's gone?"

"The system will issue tasks again at the appropriate time, please pay attention to the host at all times."

“…”

Zhu Cilang raised his head and said to Li Guozhen beside him: "Brother Xiangcheng, I will leave it to you next. I will go back to the palace to calm my father's heart."

Zhu Cilang now understands Chongzhen. His father seems to have many ideas, but in fact, whenever he encounters something, his head is empty and nothing is there.

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

If Li Guozhen had some thoughts about competing with Zhu Cilang a few days ago, then this thought had long been thrown into Java by Li Guozhen.

The reason is very simple. Zhu Cilang is really... too powerful.

Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Li Yan, and Gao Jie now, four generals under Li Zicheng alone have fallen into Zhu Cixuan's hands.

You should know that these four people were Li Zicheng's pioneers. They set out from Shaanxi in just two months and swept across most of Northern China with lightning speed, but now they are all defeated in front of Zhu Cixuan.

After all, Li Guozhen is a soldier. Unlike those stubborn civil servants, he is more tough and more likely to be conquered by the strong.

If you are strong, I will accept you. The reason is that simple.

Li Guozhen watched Zhu Cilang go away, then turned his head and said in a deep voice to the many officials and soldiers around him: "Everyone is cheering up, and there will be another wave of thieves outside the city soon. This time we will make it impossible for them to take advantage of it!"

When many Ming officials heard this, they immediately responded.

At this moment, Li Zicheng's various troops had also launched a night attack. For a moment, fire and killing sounds soared into the sky, making it extremely lively.

Even though he was in the palace, Chongzhen could still stand outside Fengtian Hall to see clearly, and he couldn't help but be quite anxious at the moment.

"Where is Feng'er, where is Feng'er? Send someone to ask how Feng'er is like, and then ask Feng'er what to do!"

Wang Cheng'en was about to leave when suddenly Zhu Cilang's voice had already come.

"Don't worry, the enemy general Gao Jie has been surrendered, and all the thieves who attacked the capital have been wiped out!"
