The bullets flew forward with a whistling sound. He Renlong's face was full of fear when he heard the gunshots coming from behind him.
"Quick, faster!"
He Renlong kept whipping the horse under his crotch, hoping that the horse could increase its speed again.
However, the horse under his crotch was exhausted because it was carrying two people. No matter how much he urged, the speed of the horse couldn't be increased.
"Heh heh heh heh!"
The war horse under his crotch was panting non-stop, and the four horse legs kicked the ground vigorously.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a bullet hit the buttocks of a servant behind He Renlong.
The war horse neighed in pain, and then fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of smoke.
Zhou Laoliu and the others controlled the horse to avoid the fallen horse and He Renlong's servant, and shot at the horse under He Renlong's crotch again.
Although riding on a war horse is much less accurate, it can't stand the fact that there are so many people shooting.
There are more people shooting, and the bullets fired will always hit a few shots.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a bullet shot towards the horse under He Renlong's crotch.
Unfortunately, this bullet did not hit the horse, but landed next to the horse's hoof.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of bullets flew towards He Renlong.
This time, He Renlong didn't have such good luck.
Three bullets hit the buttocks of He Renlong's war horse. The speed of the war horse stopped, and it rushed to the ground in front of him, throwing He Renlong and Hong Chengchou off the horse.
"Hey Law!"
Hit by a bullet at high speed, coupled with falling to the ground, the horse suffered huge damage and neighed non-stop.
He Renlong and Hong Chengchou had better luck, they fell into a piece of wild grass, and apart from some scratches, they had no other injuries.
"grown ups!"
He Renlong's servant looked at Hong Chengchou and He Renlong who had fallen to the ground, pulled the horse's rein hastily, and shouted at He Renlong.
Among them, several servants even wanted to pull the two of them onto the horses, but at this time Zhou Laoliu had already chased them up from behind with his troops, and instantly separated them.
Zhou Laoliu pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse neighed and stood up, and finally stopped in front of Hong Chengchou and He Renlong.
He Renlong rolled on the ground, drew out the long knife from his waist, and looked at Zhou Lao Liu vigilantly.
"Hehe, do you still want to resist?" Zhou Laoliu sneered, jumped off his horse, and raised the big black star to hit He Renlong's right hand.
"Oh!"
With a gunshot, the bullet fired by the big black star hit He Renlong's right forearm.
The bullet got into his arm and came out from the other side. Fortunately, it was far away from the bone, otherwise his hand would be useless.
Under the severe pain, He Renlong let go of the handle of the knife in his hand.
The moment he let go of the handle of the knife, the people behind Zhou Laoliu rushed forward and pressed He Renlong to the ground, unable to move.
At this time, He Renlong's remaining servants were also controlled by the troops brought by Zhou Laoliu.
He Renlong's servants were all tied up with ropes by Zhou Laoliu's men and put aside.
Hong Chengchou stood up tremblingly from the ground, pretending to be calm and looking at Zhou Laoliu.
"You rebels, you have the ability to kill me!" Hong Chengchou's official uniform had holes in the east and dirt in the west, and the crimson official uniform became dusty.
His face was still covered with dirt, the hat on his head flew to nowhere, and there was only one shoe left on his feet.
"Kill you? It's too easy to kill you!"
Zhou Laoliu looked at Hong Chengchou jokingly, and then unloaded the big black star's magazine, and ejected the bullets inside.
Zhou Laoliu walked up to Hong Chengchou, held up the big black star and placed it on Hong Chengchou's forehead.
Hong Chengchou swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes fixed on Zhou Laoliu, his body trembling constantly.
Although Zhou Laoliu unloaded the magazine and returned the bullets, Hong Chengchou had never seen the big black star, and he didn't know what happened to the operation just now.
So, now he thought that there were bullets in the big black star in Zhou Laoliu's hand.
"Come on, come on, say one more word, and I will kill you if you say one more word. One mouthful of rebels, one mouthful of Zhao bandits. You people are really beasts in clothes. Do you know who the beasts in clothes are talking about?
The clothes and beasts are yours. The official uniforms are embroidered with birds and beasts. They look majestic, but in fact they are all worthless, and they are all irrelevant. "
Zhou Laoliu looked at Hong Chengchou with a gloomy face, and cursed.
On Hong Chengchou's forehead, cold sweat continued to flow out. Seeing that death was approaching, he kept thinking back to his youth.
At that time, he was sent to the most famous local school by his parents.
And he also likes reading very much, and he is the hardest student in the school.
However, no matter how hard you study, it costs money.
At that time, the family was very poor, and going to school was a very expensive thing. In desperation, he had to drop out of school and go home to help his mother make dried tofu, and went to sell dried tofu in the streets the next day.
That time was the most difficult time in his life, so much so that until now, Hong Chengchou still vividly remembers it.
Hong Chengchou swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and thought of when he was a Jinshi in high school. At that time, he was full of glory when he visited Jingkua Street.
He experienced something that he had never experienced in his life, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.
At this moment, he was no longer that dilapidated boy selling dried tofu in the streets, but a disciple of the emperor who was born as a Jinshi.
After tasting the taste of being admired by thousands of people, Hong Chengchou could never go back.
The stark contrast between the poverty when he was young and the glory after becoming a Jinshi made Hong Chengchou have a desire for status far beyond ordinary people. From that moment on, he was a little afraid that he would lose everything.
The reason why he was able to make so many contributions in suppressing the bandits was precisely because he didn't want to lose it all.
The more a person lacks something when he is young, the more he wants to get something when he is an adult.
Once you get it, you don't want to lose it.
When Hong Chengchou surrendered to Huang Taiji in history, although he persisted in righteous words for a long time, who knows if he is putting on a show?
Who knows if he deliberately did this in front of Huang Taiji, so that Huang Taiji would take a look at him and reuse him?
Moreover, Hong Chengchou was still captured alive by Huang Taiji. If he was a truly loyal minister, it would be impossible for him to be captured alive.
Just like Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chengzong in history, they have already died in battle instead of being captured alive.
I am afraid that from the moment he was captured alive, Hong Chengchou had other thoughts in his mind.
As the old saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.This sentence couldn't be more suitable for Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou looked at the big black star barrel on his forehead, and his body kept trembling.
When I think of half my life's hard work disappearing in smoke, I feel even more uncomfortable.
This is half of my life's hard work. I finally climbed to this position and got rid of the previous poverty. Is it going to disappear now?
I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled.What did I study hard for more than ten years?Isn't it for the sake of enjoying the glory and wealth in the future, isn't it for the sake of not selling dried beans in the streets?
Now all this is gone, I am not reconciled, I am really not reconciled.
Hong Chengchou's face changed in just a few breaths.
Zhou Laoliu looked at Hong Chengchou, chuckled, and shook his head, "Hehe, I think you'd better die!"
As he said that, Zhou Lao Liu pulled the big black star that had no bullets.
"Click!"
With a crisp sound, Hong Chengchou yelled directly, "Don't kill me, I'm still useful!"
"I didn't say I was going to kill you!" Zhou Laoliu took off the big black star aimed at Hong Chengchou's forehead, and shook it in front of Hong Chengchou with a playful expression.
Zhou Laoliu's move was just to scare Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou hastily touched his head, heaving a sigh of relief.
"You say you are useful? What is your use? Tell me what is your use? If you are really as useful as you say, then I can let you go, but if you are not, I believe, your head For Xuanzhen, it is a good thing to frighten the court!" Zhou Laoliu said calmly, but his tone was full of murderous intent.
Hong Chengchou hurriedly roared, "As long as you don't kill me, I can do anything. I have been familiar with military books and history since I was a child. As long as you don't kill me, I can play a big role.
Think about it, although Xuanzhen looks extremely powerful now, it still has too few talents in its hands. Governing the world is not about fighting and killing. "
"Do you mean that we can't govern the whole world without you?" Zhou Lao Liu said indifferently, playing with the big black star.
Hong Chengchou realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly changed his words: "No, I didn't mean that. Anyway, I am very useful. As long as I can survive, I will definitely be of great help to Xuanzhen!"
"It's so mysterious from what you said, so I'll believe you this time, and save your life for the time being!" Zhou Laoliu chuckled lightly.
"You want to surrender?" He Renlong, who was pressed to the ground, looked at Hong Chengchou and roared in disbelief.
Although Hong Chengchou didn't explicitly say that he surrendered, but in this situation, a fool can see what's going on.
"How can I call it surrender? This is just a stopgap measure!" Hong Chengchou said to He Renlong without confidence.
Hong Chengchou in history was able to surrender to Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji was a Jurchen.
Zhao Wen is not from a foreign race, and Hong Chengchou surrendered to Huang Taiji without any psychological burden, let alone Zhao Wen.

Chapter 414 The Escaped Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui
"Haha, since that's the case, Master Hong will follow me back first!"
Zhou Laoliu looked at Hong Chengchou and laughed out loud.
Hong Chengchou hurriedly apologized twice, and said respectfully: "The general said so, and the criminal officer should be respectful rather than obedient."
Zhou Laoliu nodded, waved his hand, and shouted at the cavalry behind him: "Go, go back to Chang'an!"
Anyway, Hong Chengchou has been captured now, and Hong Chengchou has surrendered, so there is no need to stay here.
With that said, Zhou Laoliu took Hong Chengchou and the captured He Renlong and his family members towards Chang'an Office.
At this time, all the garrison troops in Chang'an were dispatched, and these soldiers kept chasing after the scattered and fled soldiers.
A large number of captives have gathered on the current battlefield, and these captives are also sent to Chang'an non-stop by soldiers.
After questioning, Zhou Laoliu knew that almost 2 people had been captured.
Among them are Huguang General Soldier and Zu Dashou of Guanning Army.
Because of their special identities, they were escorted back to the city of Chang'an in advance.
As for Wu Sangui and Wu Xiang's father and son, there is no news yet, but the cavalry who went to pursue them have already set off, and they should be able to catch up.
Zhou Laoliu gave some instructions to these soldiers who were searching for the rout, and at the same time handed over He Renlong and his servants to these soldiers.
As for Zhou Laoliu, he led Hong Chengchou towards Chang'an Office.
Hong Chengchou was riding on a war horse, his heart was full of emotion.
He looked at the strong and well-armed Xuanzhen soldiers and horses passing by him, and shook his head helplessly.
These soldiers and horses are all wearing extremely elite armor, which is black and shiny, and it seems that they are all made of fine steel.
Armors made of fine steel may only be equipped by the most elite servants.
But among soldiers in Xuanzhen, almost everyone has them.
"The defeat is not unfair, the defeat is not unfair." Hong Chengchou sighed full of emotion.
Seeing this, Hong Chengchou also began to change his mentality, because he understood that now he could only hug Zhao Wen's thigh tightly, otherwise, his end would be extremely miserable.
The imperial court couldn't go back, even if he didn't surrender, he couldn't go back, Chongzhen would not let him go.
If he wanted to survive, he could only hug Xuan Zhen's thigh tightly.
Not long after, Zhou Laoliu brought Hong Chengchou to the front of Chang'an Office.
Zhou Laoliu stopped next to the artillery position in front of the city of Chang'an.
"Master Hong, come and see what this is!"
