Late Ming Dynasty: Oops, I am surrounded by the Donglin Party

The few personal guards brought by Zhang Xianzhong were soon killed. Since the attack was unintentional, not much noise was caused.

"Brother, the boulders at the North Gate have been cleared. What should we do?" A soldier ran over from the direction of the North Gate.

Luo Wenlong used his sword to repeatedly slash at Zhang Xianzhong's neck, blood spurted everywhere. After several slashes, he chopped off Zhang Xianzhong's head.

Luo Rucai saved Luo Wenlong's life, and the fact that Luo Rucai was killed by Zhang Kewang is a knot in Luo Wenlong's heart that will never be resolved.

But he knew very well that it was not easy to kill Zhang Xianzhong to avenge Luo Rucai, so he acted as the vanguard in yesterday's battle in order to gain Zhang Xianzhong's trust.

Even so, he still lost nearly three thousand brothers.

However, it was not entirely because he wanted to kill Zhang Xianzhong that he fought so hard in today's battle.

In fact, Luo Wenlong also hoped that he could win this war. After all, they were bandits. Victory would be good for Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Wenlong as well.

But unfortunately, God was unwilling to help the Atlantis Kingdom, and Zhang Xianzhong lost, so he died.

And Luo Wenlong had to make a choice.

"Open the city gate, we will surrender to the government troops and welcome them into the city!" Luo Wenlong gave orders to his subordinates without hesitation.

……

Zhang Dingguo suddenly felt a palpitation and woke up from the bed.

He frowned as if he always had an ominous premonition, which made him very uneasy.

He stood up, put on his clothes, and decided to go for a walk outside.

As soon as he walked out of the house, he heard footsteps coming from outside.

Although no fighting was heard, the footsteps were disorganized and seemed particularly scattered.

Even in the dead of night, this strange sound still caught his attention, not to mention that the sound came from the North City.

If he remembered correctly, Luo Wenlong should be defending North City.

He immediately ordered his subordinates to go and investigate, while he took a sip of cold tea and closed his eyes to think about things.

Half a minute later, the subordinate came running over in a panic.

"General, Luo Wenlong opened the north gate. I'm afraid... I'm afraid he's going to escape!"

The men were running out of breath, and Zhang Dingguo stood up suddenly when he heard the words.

"Go to the palace and report immediately. The rest of you, follow me to quell the rebellion!"

He did not believe that Luo Wenlong wanted to escape. Most likely he wanted to surrender, or even lead the government troops into the city. In this way, Luo Wenlong would have made contributions to the government troops.

Zhang Dingguo didn't even have time to put on his armor. He immediately walked to the center of the military camp and personally beat the war drum.

The war drums rumbled, and soon many soldiers ran out of the tent, not even having time to put on their uniforms.

Zhang Kewang also quickly walked out of the big tent and looked at Zhang Dingguo in confusion.

"Brother, Luo Wenlong has defected. We must retake the North Gate as soon as possible, otherwise it will be disastrous!"

Zhang Dingguo loudly told Zhang Kewang about Luo Wenlong's affairs, and Zhang Kewang was immediately shocked. Then the two of them each selected two thousand men and rushed to the north gate first.

At the north gate, Luo Wenlong left his deputy to lead 3,000 men to protect the gate, while he himself carried Zhang Xianzhong's head and took the remaining troops to the government army camp.

When Zhang Dingguo and his men arrived at the north gate, Luo Wenlong was just about to leave. He did not expect Zhang Dingguo's reaction to be so quick.

Zhang Dingguo has arrived, and it seems that Zhang Kewang and others will arrive soon. Luo Wenlong sighed and waved his hand, asking his deputy to go with him.

In the light of the torch, Zhang Dingguo seemed to see what Luo Wenlong was holding in his hand, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Although he was not wearing armor, Zhang Dingguo rushed straight towards Luo Wenlong, and dozens of his personal guards immediately followed the commander.

Luo Wenlong knew how powerful Zhang Dingguo was. When he saw that his plan had been exposed, he ran away with his men and did not fight with Zhang Dingguo.

After running for about half a quarter of an hour, Zhang Dingguo was still chasing behind, and even engaged in a fierce fight with the rear of his team.

At this time, three cavalrymen appeared not far away, and Luo Wenlong immediately shouted at them:

"I am Luo Wenlong, a subordinate of Luo Rucai. Here is Zhang Xianzhong's head. Please report to me as soon as possible. I want to surrender to the court!"

Luo Wenlong guessed that the three men must be the government troops' night guards. Seeing more soldiers pouring out of the north gate, Luo Wenlong became very anxious.

After receiving the letter, the three night guards immediately rode back.

At this time, Zhang Kewang also rushed over on his war horse with his men. Luo Wenlong had to stop temporarily and fight with Zhang Kewang and Zhang Dingguo.

The stalemate lasted for about two quarters of an hour. As the number of enemies increased, Luo Wenlong could no longer hold on.

At this time, a cavalry group rushed over from the direction of the government army camp. It was the cavalry led by Sun Dasheng.

Luo Wenlong was overjoyed, while Zhang Kewang on the other side immediately frowned.

In such a hurry, he only gathered a few soldiers and horses. They had the strength to fight, but the most important thing at the moment was to keep the ownership of the city gate.

Thinking of this, Zhang Kewang immediately said to Zhang Dingguo:

"Old Four, this is impossible, hurry back to the city!"

Zhang Dingguo did not listen, but just led his personal guards to attack Luo Wenlong, wanting to avenge his adoptive father.

"My foster father is dead. Don't act on impulse. The most important thing is to guard the city gate! Otherwise, even if my foster father knows about this, he will not forgive you!"

"Luo Wenlong, I will kill you!" Zhang Dingguo looked at Luo Wenlong hatefully, then put away his weapons and retreated.

"I am Sun Dasheng, the lieutenant general of the cavalry under the command of the Marshal of Army. Who is Luo Wenlong?" Sun Dasheng asked while riding on a war horse under the protection of his personal guards.

Upon hearing this, Luo Wenlong immediately dropped the weapon in his hand, held the head in one hand and left the other empty, raised both hands, and walked towards Sun Dasheng happily.

"Commander Sun, I am Luo Wenlong, and the head in my hand belongs to Zhang Xianzhong!"

As he said this, Luo Wenlong handed the head in his hand to one of Sun Dasheng's personal guards, and then he knelt on the ground.

"Do you want to surrender?" Sun Dasheng frowned.

He recognized it at a glance. The head was indeed Zhang Xianzhong's. However, Sun Dasheng did not have a good face towards this bandit who was about to surrender.

In the eyes of the Imperial Guards, Zhang Xianzhong was already a trapped beast. Even if the man in front of him was not killed, Zhang Xianzhong would not survive for long.

This guy escaped from the city and didn't even guard the city gate, allowing the bandits in the city to take it back.

For Sun Dasheng, the surrender of these people might just provide more feed for the imperial army.

At this time, Zhang Shikang also rubbed his eyes and rode over on Ergou, still followed by a large group of guards.

"Replying to Lieutenant General Sun, the Great Western Kingdom does not have much time left. I am willing to abandon the dark and join the light. I hope that Lieutenant General Sun will pass the message on my behalf." As Luo Wenlong spoke, he ordered his subordinates behind him to drop their weapons and kneel on the ground.

"You can't even guard a city gate, you're so stupid!" Zhang Shikang said very unhappily.

Being woken up in the middle of the night, they originally thought that they could take this opportunity to charge directly into the city, so the entire camp was mobilized.

As a result, this guy just ran away.

If you can't even guard the city gate, what's the point of surrendering?

Luo Wenlong seemed to have seen through Zhang Shikang's identity. He also knew that he had just been frightened by Zhang Dingguo, so he immediately said:

"Your Excellency, I also know that Zhang Xianzhong is planning to escape in the next two days."
