"My lord, the city is broken."
Zhang Yong was the first to react and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Zukofa got excited and said in a trembling voice: "What should we do now?"
Zhang Yong gritted his teeth and said, "Seal the gap before the Ming thieves come in, and then build an inner wall.
This will help us survive for a while."
Zukefa nodded repeatedly: "Okay, just do as Vice General Zhang said, then who will lead the troops to block the gap?"
"The last general asks for orders" Zhang Yong cupped his fists.
Zukofa was overjoyed.
He never expected that someone would take the initiative to ask for help in such a critical moment.
It’s true that one can tell one’s horse power over a long journey, and one’s heart can be seen over time.
He regretted his previous scolding of Zhang Yong, and thought that he would try to win over Zhang Yong once he got through this.
"Since Lieutenant General Zhang is loyal to the country, I will send five thousand troops to seal the gap.
The rest of the people will stay on guard and be on standby at any time."
Although the gap opened by the explosion is large, fortunately there is only one, and it can be blocked by sending heavy troops.
If there were ten or eight holes, then Zu Kefa might really hit his head against the wall.
Zhang Yong got off the city and immediately mobilized his own soldiers and the commanding battalion.
Most of these people were direct line soldiers who were directly under his command and only listened to his orders.
Even if Zu Kefa personally prepared it, it wouldn't work.
Zhang Yong led five thousand soldiers and horses to the gap not to defend the enemy with all his strength, but to surrender to the Ming army with determination.
From the moment the city wall was blown open, Zhang Yong knew that Weihuicheng could not be defended.
Instead of stubbornly resisting and being buried with Zu Kefa, it would be better to join the Ming army.
Anyway, he often did this kind of thing.
When the Shun army came, he surrendered to Shun, and when the Qing army came, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
Now it's the turn of the Ming army to come, so what's wrong with him coming to the Ming Dynasty?
Good birds choose trees to roost in, and those who know the current affairs are heroes.
Zhang Yong led his troops to the gap and immediately drew his sword out of its sheath and said: "Guide the way for the king's army, kill the ancestors and the Tatars."
Zhang Yong's soldiers reacted quickly enough and shouted the same slogan immediately.
The other soldiers saw this and agreed.
They no longer want to resist, they are just waiting for an opportunity.
Now that the deputy general has given them this opportunity, they will naturally not miss it.
Under Zhang Yong's command, they took the initiative to make way for the gap and retreated to both sides to wait for the Ming army to enter the city.
Li Chengdong, who led the charge to the gap, was stunned when he saw this.
What the hell is going on?
Why don't these green soldiers show any intention of resisting?
"The general can't be deceiving, can he?"
Li Chengdong's personal soldiers reminded.
"What are you afraid of?
I just want to see who can stop my vanguard."
In order to express his sincerity, Zhang Yong deliberately dropped his sword and knelt on the ground.
When Li Chengdong approached, he kowtowed and said: "The villain has been oppressing the Tatars for a long time, and has been looking forward to the king's early northern expedition.
The sky has eyes, and the villain has finally waited for this opportunity."
Li Chengdong sneered and said: "Since you have wanted to do anything for a long time, why did you go out of the city and lead your army to harass our army?"
Only then did Zhang Yong discover that Li Chengdong was the Ming army general who dueled with him near the mound, and he secretly thought about how to come back.
"The general doesn't know.
The villain is trying to gain the trust of the ancestors so that he can help the king's army seize the city at the critical moment."

He rolled his eyes and came up with such a lame explanation.
Li Chengdong didn't say anything else.
Although this guy definitely didn't want to surrender from the beginning, it is always good as long as he is willing to surrender.
In this way, the Ming army can easily capture Weihuicheng without any effort.
Why not?
"Forget it, if you sincerely tell the truth, the past will be forgotten.
But if you are the head of the rat, I will personally chop off your head."
"The villain is willing to die for the general" Zhang Yong immediately patted his chest as a guarantee, almost swearing.
Li Chengdong then led his troops into the city and quickly took control of Nancheng.
As more and more Ming troops entered the city, Zukefa realized the problem.
Zhang Yong must have betrayed him, otherwise the Ming troops would not have captured the city so quickly.
This bastard who can kill a thousand swords It was impossible to escape, and it was impossible for Zukfa to surrender, so he could only bite the bullet and fight to the death.
Zu Kefa felt desolate in his heart.
He never expected that his great reputation would be ruined by a despicable person who wanted to sell himself for glory.
"Follow me to kill the bright thief"
Zukofa drew his sword out of its sheath and roared angrily.
"Kill the bright thieves, kill the bright thieves" The roar of hundreds of soldiers shook the sky.
As Gao Jie's main force all entered the city, the battle completely lost its suspense.
Regardless of quantity or combat effectiveness, the Ming army had an overwhelming advantage.
Zu Kefa retreated again and again, and finally retreated to the Chenghuang Temple in the city to continue to resist.
There were only more than two thousand soldiers left around him, and the rest were either killed or surrendered on their knees.
Five hundred of these two thousand people were his soldiers.
They were all from the ancestral army back then, so their loyalty was not a problem.
The other soldiers are also direct descendants of Zukefa, so they will fight to the last moment and refuse to surrender.
Zukefa had made up his mind to fight the Ming army to the death until the last moment.
Because he knew that even if he surrendered, he would not escape death.
Based on the crimes he committed, Gao Jie will definitely be escorted to the Nanjing prisoner prison.
After all the humiliation, he still couldn't escape death.
Rather than doing this, it would be better to leave a reputation as a hero who died for his country.
The regent will avenge him, and the Qing Dynasty will avenge him.
Gao Jie was not in a hurry to attack the Chenghuang Temple.
In his opinion, Zukefa was already a turtle in the urn, and he wanted to catch him alive.
He first ordered the surrender general Zhang Yong to persuade Zukefa to surrender, but to no avail, he planned to smoke out Zukefa.
This move can be described as cruel.
Even though Zukefa was determined to die, he still couldn't bear the pain of the smoke and fire, and finally decided to charge out.
This plays into Gao Jie's plan.
The Chenghuang Temple has been completely surrounded inside and out.
Not to mention more than 2,000 living people, not even a mosquito can fly out.
However, what surprised Gao Jie was that the more than two thousand Qing soldiers were very powerful in combat, especially the 500 people around Zukfa, who were even more brave.
The Ming army spent a lot of effort to kill them all.
When Zukfa was captured, he was hit by an arrow in his knee, shoulder, and forearm, and his calf also suffered a knife wound.
In order to prevent Zukfa from committing suicide, Gao Jie ordered people to tie up wooden pieces in Zukefa's mouth immediately to prevent him from biting his tongue and commit suicide, and then tied him up and took him into custody.
Zukefa's soldiers were all executed, and their heads were pickled with lime and sent to Nanjing to report their merits.
As for Zhang Yong who surrendered, Gao Jie was prepared to spare his life.
This guy was quite sensible and helped the Ming army seize the city without bloodshed.

If Jin Yuhe could surrender instead of fighting to the death, Gao Jie would not be willing to use the lives of his sons to seize the city.
Of course, surrendering a general means surrendering a general, and surrendering an army means surrendering an army.
Of course Gao Jie would not trust them.
Anyway, we still have to go to Beizhili to fight, so we can use them as vanguards to seize the city.
This can reduce the Ming army's own losses
