Chapter 893 Capture Hong Chengchou Alive

On the fourth watch, Li Chengdong led his subordinates to the outside of the barracks. The bannerman who reported the letter showed Hong Chengchou's warrant to the Eight Banners soldiers guarding the camp gate. The bannerman outside the camp gate immediately moved the fence and let Li Chengdong out of the camp.

Li Chengdong and his party walked not far away to the gate of the camp where the soldiers lived. Banner Ding showed the warrant again and transferred a thousand Xuzhou soldiers out of the barracks.

Hong Chengchou kept strict surveillance on the defenders in the city. Each battalion lived in a separate area, and the soldiers were separated.

In this way, even if someone wants to rebel, it is not easy for the battalions to connect with each other, and it is not easy for the officer to mobilize troops, and he can quickly suppress the rebellion of a battalion.

At this time, Li Chengdong and Li Yuanyin were discussing anxiously while walking towards Beicheng.

Li Yuanyin whispered eagerly: "Father Commander, I promised Li Dudu that there will be no problems. Now Wei Jun is ambushing outside the west gate, but Hong Chengchou is going to the north gate. What should I do?"

Li Chengdong's face was gloomy, and he clenched the handle of the knife tightly, "I can't control so much, wealth and wealth are in danger, then you will look at me and fight!"

While speaking, Li Chengdong had already arrived in Beicheng, where thousands of Qing troops had gathered, the Eight Banners soldiers stopped his soldiers and horses, and then led him to Hong Chengchou.

"Li Junmen is a bit surprised!" Seeing Li Chengdong approaching, Hong Chengchou said with a smile, "Gu Shan'e and I have really thought about it and think it is safer to go to the north gate. Li Junmen won't have any objections."

Hong Chengchou trusted Li Chengdong, but years of experience made him keep his hand.

Li Chengdong thought in his heart, you don't trust this general at all, but he said with a smile on his face: "How dare you have an opinion in a lowly position, my lord is also for the sake of safety."

"Very good!" Hong Chengchou looked at Li Chengdong, and said solemnly: "I know the combat power of Xuzhou Town, and many banner soldiers are inferior to you. When the gate of the lower city opens, you go ahead, and I am behind. If you succeed in breaking through, I will definitely not treat you badly."

"A low-level job!" Li Chengdong said with a low face, "Thank you for your support."

Hong Chengchou and Bahana looked at each other, and the latter nodded, indicating that he was ready. Hong Chengchou said, "Open the city gate and leave the city quietly. Don't fire the gun unless it is absolutely necessary."

At this time, the bricks and stones of the city gate had been removed by the soldiers, and more than a dozen banner men creaked and opened the heavy city gate.

Li Chengdong returned to the team and got on his horse. Li Yuanyin asked, "Father, do you want to win the door?"

Li Chengdong shook his head. A large number of Eight Banners gathered on both sides of the city gate. His team passed through the street like a long snake and was easily flanked. Let's go out of the city, wait for Hong Chengchou to come out, and then rush back."

A thousand soldiers from Xuzhou Town filed out of the north gate. After they finished walking, Bahana waved his hand immediately, so that Hong Chengchou could lead the army out of the city.

It was the darkest hour of night before dawn, and the northern suburbs of Jinzhou were silent, and the soldiers of the Qing army were walking nervously outside the city, without seeing any abnormal movements.

Seeing this, Bahana couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, "Scholar Hong's move is really clever. When the Wei bandits take over the city defense tomorrow morning, we'll be gone."

Hong Chengchou also let out a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to be careless. He said in a deep voice: "Gushan, you can't be careless! After leaving Jinzhou City, we still need to bypass the Wei bandits near the Daling River before we can safely return to Sheng Beijing."

Bahana nodded, "Well, Scholar Hong is right, we still need~"

The two were talking, but there was a sound of horseshoes and footsteps in front of them. Hong Chengchou and Bahana immediately trembled. When they got closer, they saw that it was Li Chengdong and Li Yuanyin who turned back.

"What's the matter with you two?" Seeing this, Bahana asked unhappily.

"What are you going to do!" Hong Chengchou's heart shuddered. He saw Li Yuanyin's ferocious face and sharp eyes by the moonlight, and he rushed towards him viciously. He was so frightened that he hurriedly reined in the horse, as if he saw a poisonous snake.

Li Chengdong and Li Yuanyin didn't answer, straightened their horses and continued to charge towards them.

Bahana saw something was wrong, and immediately shouted angrily, "Li Chengdong, you should stop!"

Hong Chengchou's face was pale and frightened, "No, stop them!"

As soon as Li Yuanyin clamped the horse's belly, he raised his spear and stabbed, "Kill!"

Behind him, a thousand Xuzhou soldiers roared loudly, picked up their weapons and charged back.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners who left the city did not expect to encounter a sudden change, and were caught off guard by being killed. The army was in chaos in the dark night.

To the west of Jinzhou City, Hu Dawei was lying in ambush in the grass a few miles away, waving his hands and slapping mosquitoes, cursing inwardly why the Qing army hadn't left the city yet.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of killing in the northern suburbs, and the sound of gunfire again and again. Hu Dawei was startled, and then he was furious, "The old thief is really cunning! Come on, get the knife!"

Hu Dawei hastily got on his horse, and Ma Bian brought up a big saber, he picked up the long handle with his foot, took Guan Dao in his hand, and immediately clamped the horse's belly, "I will kill you!"

At this time, Li Dingguo was also dressed neatly in the camp of the Wei army in the southern city. He walked out of the big tent. He heard the shouts of killing in the northern suburbs but not in the western suburbs. He immediately ordered: "Order Hu Dawei, Wu Guozhu, and Gao Youcai to directly rob the city. Don't pay attention to it." In the northern suburbs, in order to prevent the east from attacking the west, and then order Wang Yongqiang to reinforce the northern suburbs, don't let Hong Chengchou go."

In an instant, there were killing sounds inside and outside Jinzhou City, and flames shot up to the sky.

In the city, Bai Guangen rushed out of the barracks, and one of his subordinates ran over, shouting hoarsely, "The general is in trouble, Mr. Hong and Bahana Gushan have slipped away, and the Wei army is about to enter the city!"

When Bai Guangen heard this, there was a bang in his head, he was so shocked that all his souls were out of his body, and then his face was furious, it was so fucking insane, Hong Chengchou slipped away and didn't call me.

"What should the general do now? What should I do with this?" At this time, a group of Qing army generals ran over and asked in a hurry.

Bai Guangen's face was livid, and without saying a word, he suddenly sighed and said, "This is the end, what are you doing, waiting to be killed? If you want to surrender, surrender, if you want to escape, run away, why are you still standing here!"

In an instant, Zhou Duo's Qing army was in an uproar and scattered.

······
In the northern suburbs, Hong Chengchou fled in a hurry, Li Chengdong and Bahana fought in a group behind him, but Li Yuanyin chased after him on horseback.

Hong Chengchou had battle experience for a long time, but he was a civil servant after all, so he was frightened out of his wits when he saw this.

At this time, returning to the city is also mortal, so Hong Chengchou did not return to the city, but ran diagonally on his horse, trying to bypass the rebels.

He ran for a while, the sound of killing gradually faded away, and he didn't know where he fled in the darkness.

At this time, Hong Chengchou reined in his horse and looked around, the surroundings were pitch black, and there was a faint sound of hoofbeats in the distance, it should be that little bastard Li Yuanyin chasing him.

Hong Chengchou sneered, pulled his horse and continued to flee forward, suddenly a tripping rope was stretched on the ground, the horse neighed, and he fell to the ground, Hong Chengchou lost his balance and was thrown away, his mind went blank for an instant, only One thought left, "Oops, it's over!"

At this time, more than a dozen Wei Jun surrounded him and held him tightly, almost crushing him to death.

At this time, almost at the moment when Hong Chengchou was captured, countless torches were suddenly lit in the wilderness in the northern suburbs. Yuan Shizhong rode his horse and stood there, and the soldiers reported on one knee, "General, you caught a big fish!"
