"kill!"

"Put down your weapons and squat on the ground. Those who surrender will not kill you!"

One chased and the other escaped. The Ming soldiers who were chased by the People's Army in the middle were beaten by the Yang. The Ming soldiers who were desperately fleeing forward were chopped down by the People's Army soldiers who were chasing him. Some Ming soldiers who gave up on the escape turned around and wanted to resist, but found that the weapons in their hands had been lost. Many Ming soldiers saw that they had no hope of escaping and wanted to survive, so they squatted on the ground to surrender.

The People's Army soldiers crossed the Ming soldiers who were squatting on the ground and continued to chase the Ming soldiers who were fleeing ahead.

Longchuan Qianhu, Heyuan Qianhu and dozens of personal guards or officers of Qianhu were riding horses in front. As the commander of the Ming army, Longchuan Qianhu and Heyuan Qianhu of course wanted to block the chasing enemy, but their troops were defeated. At this time, they were unable to command their defeated subordinates. Now they had only one idea, quickly return to the Longchuan scene, gather some soldiers to use Longchuan County to resist the People's Army.

During the pursuit, the number of Ming soldiers who were still running away was getting fewer and fewer than one thousand. Fortunately, Longchuan County was already close to them, and they finally escaped in the pursuit of the People's Army.

"Open the city gate quickly! Open the city gate quickly! Adults are going to enter the city!"

There is no need for Longchuan Qianhu and Heyuan Qianhu to say that their personal guards have taken the initiative to shout to the Ming soldiers on the city wall.

At this moment, more than 100 people gathered on the south wall of Longchuan County, and there were a small number of defenders in Longchuan County. Most of them were guards of the recruited wealthy families and ordinary young and strong. It was also because three thousand households led more than 3,000 Ming troops to pursue the People's Army. The magistrate of Longchuan County and some other "big figures" in Longchuan County have been waiting for the army to return victoriously on the southern wall.

But now, they saw the scene of the Ming army retreating to Longchuan County. Further away, it seemed that the "disrupted people" were pursuing the Ming army.

Some "big figures" were so scared that they immediately had the idea of ​​escaping from Longchuan County. In fact, when they saw the defeated Ming army in the distance, many people said goodbye to the magistrate of Longchuan County, immediately got off the city wall and went home, preparing to pack up the gold, silver and soft, and took their families to leave Longchuan County while the People's Army had not approached.

If others can escape, the magistrate of Longchuan cannot escape. He dared not make a decision easily and did not allow others to leave Longchuan County. He could only allow these merchants and gentry to leave.

Hearing the shouts of thousands of personal guards outside the city, everyone on the city wall knew that outside the city was the Ming army, not the People's Army. The magistrate of Longchuan quickly asked the soldiers to open the city gate and let the defeated Ming army enter the city. Now there are less than 400 defenders in Longchuan County, and there are only a few more than 100 soldiers in the Ming army. If enough defeated troops can be gathered, Longchuan County may also resist the attack of the People's Army.

Soon, the city gate opened, and the Ming soldiers running in the front rushed into the city with thousands of people. Many of them collapsed on the ground and gasped in the moment they entered the city.

"I finally escaped into the city and my life was saved."

"Fortunately, those who ran fast and slow were killed by the thieves."

"What a terrible thief, we were defeated like this. Can this Longchuan County be defended?"

Various messy thoughts emerged in the minds of the Ming soldiers who were lying on the ground.

The magistrate of Longchuan did not continue to stay on the city wall. He took the initiative to get down the city wall, found Qianhu Longchuan and Qianhu Heyuan, and asked the two of them how to resist the people's army that was chasing.

At this time, Qianhu Longchuan still had the idea of ​​leading the defeated generals to rely on the city wall to resist the People's Army. Qianhu Heyuan looked at the group of defeated generals who had no weapons on the ground. He knew in his heart that there was no possibility of relying on these defeated generals with no morale to defend Longchuan County.

"Let's retreat, this city cannot be defended." Heyuan Qianhu said to Longchuan County Magistrate and Longchuan Qianhu.

Listening to the words of Heyuan Qianhu and looking at the soldiers on the ground, the magistrate of Longchuan and Qianhu Longchuan also gave up the idea of ​​sticking to Longchuan County.

The magistrate of Longchuan should have been standing in Longchuan County, but now he thinks that more than 3,000 Ming troops have been defeated by the enemy and he is unable to defend Longchuan County. The court wants to discuss the crime, and the two thousand households are even more guilty. The magistrate should have been less guilty, and he will not die, as long as he lives.

Just as the magistrate of Longchuan was discussing with two thousand households, the People's Army had already arrived outside Longchuan County, worried that the People's Army would rush into the city. Before all the fleeing Ming soldiers had fled into the city, the south gate closed and hundreds of Ming soldiers were locked outside the city.

These Ming soldiers who were in the city, looking at the closed city gate and the People's Army catching up with them, were immediately angry and cursed at the people on the city wall inside the gate.

"Open the city gate quickly, I haven't entered the city yet."

"If you don't let me enter the city, I will join the thief directly, and you can wait for me."

Outside the city, the People's Army was preparing to surround Longchuan County and then attack. The magistrate and two thousand households in the city had decided to escape from Longchuan County. In order to allow them to escape successfully, most of them had to stay in the city to resist the People's Army for a while, so they could not tell all the soldiers about the evacuation of Longchuan County.

"Hurry, hurry up and go up the city wall. Only then can we continue to survive by defending Longchuan County." Heyuan Qianhu shouted to the soldiers immediately, and the guards all took action to drive the soldiers who were lying on the ground to the city wall.

Driven by the personal guards and officers, the soldiers had to drag their tired bodies up the city wall and prepare to defend the city wall with bare hands. There was no idea of ​​fighting in their hearts.

Some soldiers wanted to escape but did not dare to act. The city gate was closed, so where could they escape? If the city was broken, they would surrender directly to the People's Army, and they would probably save their lives.

Just as the soldiers climbed the city wall, the magistrate, Qianhu and others rushed to the other side of Longchuan County. The magistrate and other officials had to go home and leave with their families. Qianhu, officers, Qinwei and others' homes were not in Longchuan County, so they could leave directly. While the People's Army had not surrounded Longchuan County, they wanted to escape quickly.

Outside the city, the People's Army's firearms troops had just arrived. The People's Army was preparing to launch an attack on Longchuan County. The People's Army on both sides of Longchuan County had completed three encirclements. When it was surrounding the north wall, the magistrate's team left the north gate and fled to the north. Before that, the Thousand Houses team and some gentry and merchants had escaped from Longchuan County. The magistrate's team was relatively slow.

Seeing a team leaving the city and fleeing north, the People's Army, which was sieging Longchuan County, quickly sent a force to chase the team, and the ones who should run first could not catch up. If they fell behind, they should be able to catch up.

"Go away! Go away! The thief is coming!" Longchuan County Magistrate shouted, but it could not change the fact that the People's Army is getting closer and closer to the County Magistrate's team.
