Li Kai led 800 soldiers into the city first, and Zhou Xian and 200 people stayed outside the city temporarily in case of accidents.

But not long after, Li Kai sent people out of the city to report to Zhou Xian that the matter was already in the city. Bohetuo had died, and the Qing army loyal to him in the city was also killed.

Zhou Xian looked shocked. He thought he would go through a fierce battle, but he didn't expect that the battle would end so easily. He lowered his head and pondered, and was surprised by Gao Jinsong's control of his soldiers. It was enough to show that this person had some extraordinary skills. But for only a moment, he said, "Lead the way forward, and the army enters the city."

The sky was as bright as ink, but the city was as bright as day. Hundreds of soldiers stood on both sides of the street holding torches.

Li Kai stood at the front of the queue, bowed his body and greeted him. Next to him, Gao Jinsong knelt on the ground, holding Bo Hetu's head high in his hand.

Zhou Xian rode a horse and slowly walked to Gao Jinsong, glanced at Bo Hetuo's head, and asked in a low voice: "You are Gao Jinsong, the guardian of Lushun? Get up and reply."

Gao Jinsong pressed his body lower and said loudly: "The criminal Gao Jinsong thanked the military gate." He knocked again, then stood up. He still bowed his head, and his posture was extremely respectful.

Zhou Xian turned over and got off the horse, looked up and looked around.

Because time was urgent, the guards in the city were still wearing Qing army clothes. They looked at the Ming army soldiers with curiosity and even a little panic. They were afraid that the latter would suddenly turn against each other, so they slashed at them with swords.

Zhou Xian withdrew his gaze and looked at Gao Jinsong and said, "Gao Guardian, the position of guard is your position on the Qing army. You exchanged Bohe Tuo's head for the lives of yourself and all the soldiers in the city. I will definitely follow the promises I made. But if you want to be my guardian of the Ming Dynasty, you are not qualified at the moment. Do you understand what I mean?"

Gao Jinsong's face changed slightly. Although he was prepared in his heart, he still felt a little disappointed when he heard Zhou Xian say it directly. Bo He Tuo was killed by him, and others might have other ideas, but he had no other choice except serving in the Ming army. He thought for a moment, and then quickly said: "I understand that I only want the military sect to give my subordinates a chance to forgive my sins so that the villain can serve under your command. As for the size of the position, my subordinates don't care."

Zhou Xian nodded and smiled lightly, "I have given you the opportunity to forgive me, and you have also completed it well. I can give you another opportunity to make meritorious service now. As long as this matter is successful, you will be allowed to serve as a garrison."

Seeing Gao Jinsong's expression of confusion, Zhou Xian continued, "I ordered people to gather the fire prepared by Bo and Tuo in several open spaces in the city. I will see the sky-sky fire at the third update. In addition, you will immediately gather 500 soldiers in the city, all wearing Qing army clothes, and go with me to meet Li Lutai."

Li Lutai was restless tonight and always felt something was going to happen.

If Lushun is lost, it is the direct consequence of Bohe Tuo's arrogance; if Jinzhou is lost, he can still explain that he is going to rescue Bohe Tuo. But if Bohe Tuo dies in Lushun, all the responsibility for defeat will be borne by him, which is the most unbearable thing he can do.

No matter what, Bo and Tou have to rescue him, this is the minimum standard set by Li Lutai.

In order to achieve this goal, Li Shutai directly allocated 1,000 people from two thousand soldiers, and asked Ma San to lead them to respond at the risk of being discovered by the Ming army. In addition, he also handed over 200 of the only 300 cavalrymen in his own army to Gao Xinzhong, so that he could go deep into Lushun as much as possible to monitor the movements of the Ming army.

It is hard to predict the final result. If you do your best in everything, there will always be rewards.

Li Rutai stood quietly on a high slope, looking at the south sky from afar. The night was silent, without a trace of light. The mountain wind blew his cloak, and the drizzle moistened his face, but he didn't move, like a sculpture. His personal soldiers stood dozens of steps away from him, and no one dared to come forward to disturb him.

The direction of fire, fire, and Lushun City suddenly lit up. It was only one place at first, but it quickly changed into several places and gradually connected into one.

The sky in the distance was as red as blood, which made Li Lutai's blood boil. He took a big step down and ordered loudly: "Bo and Tobezi have begun to lead their troops to break through, and all the soldiers are ready at all times. Just wait for the reconciliation with the Lushun defenders, and all the members will break through in the direction of Jinzhou."

The night is mixed with raindrops, and you can't see anything clearly from a hundred steps away.

Five hundred defenders of Lushun City were in front and one thousand Ming troops were in the back. After leaving Lushun City, most of the torches were extinguished and galloped along the avenue towards Jinzhou. After leaving the city for about ten miles, we arrived at the location agreed with Li Lutai.

The loud shouts of the Qing army came to face them. They relied on the clothes they wore to judge that these were the Lushun defenders who came to rescue them. The torches lit up marked their own location and direction, densely packed with at least hundreds of people.

Gao Jinsong responded and secretly signaled to the archer in front quietly pulled the longbow. When the two sides were about seventy or eighty steps apart, with Gao Jinsong's order, more than a hundred arrows suddenly appeared and shot towards the densest part of the Qing army.

Amid the screams, a loud shout came. "Kill the Tartars."

More than a thousand soldiers, holding swords and guns, rushed into the Qing army crowd.

At night, because of the darkness around, it was difficult to control the entire army. However, the Qing army lit a torch and pointed out the direction for the Ming army. They rushed wherever there was light.

The Qing army was suddenly attacked and in chaos. What's even more chaotic is that those who rushed over were all wearing their own clothes and could not tell the difference between the enemy and us at all. Sometimes they raised their swords and slashed one person, but in the end they found that they were their own comrades. The people who rushed over did not hesitate at all, as if each of them knew each other.

The Qing army formation was broken by the Ming army in a very short time, and there were fleeing soldiers everywhere. They could not tell the enemy and us, they could not figure out who the other party was, nor did they know how many troops the other party had. They only heard shouts of killing from all sides. The fear in their hearts dissipated their last courage to resist, threw away their armor, and fled deep into the jungle. The entire army collapsed completely in a short time.

Five miles southward, more than 2,000 soldiers, each holding a torch in his hand, relaxing quickly in this direction like a fire dragon.

Those were two thousand-person teams led by Tan Zhencai. Zhou Xian gave him the order that when he saw the fire, he immediately stepped out of the army. Li Lutai, who was chasing him, did not fight hard with him, but only chased the Qing army northward. They were exhausted and kept falling into the team. When they approached Jinzhou, the Ming army in Jinzhou would be responsible for defeating them.
