"No, they actually got together." Seeing the two sides meeting, Li Zicheng had a strong anger on his face, and he secretly scolded the generals under his command for being incompetent, and he could not even stop the officers and soldiers.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the generals under Li Zicheng, because these officers and soldiers are all elites of the Ming Dynasty, well-equipped, rich combat experience, and high morale.

The Baoding soldiers are now determined to make contributions because their commander is now in charge of making meritorious service. They take the lead and lead by example. The soldiers under their command are naturally unwilling to fall behind and fight bravely to fight the enemy.

Although the soldiers of the Three Thousand Minzhuo Camp led by Yu Zhenlong did not have that rich combat experience, they had experienced war. Now, it is because their leaders Ma Mingfeng, Yu Zhenlong, Liu Zhaolin and others personally went on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and they were even more motivated, all of them fought for the first place and were full of fighting spirit.

The soldiers of the Bazhou soldiers and Xuanwu Guard were resting for many days before, and now they are even more energetic and are full of energy to kill the enemy and make contributions.

These soldiers, coupled with the attacks of Shaanxi soldiers who were fearless in order to break through, were difficult for the soldiers of the rebel army to resist for a while, so they naturally easily disrupted the formation and successfully rescued Fu Zonglong.

"I have met the Governor General." After successfully opening the gap and meeting with Fu Zonglong, Ma Mingfeng bowed to Fu Zonglong and said with a deep pain: "I am late, I hope I will atone for my sins."

"Are you Governor Ma?" Fu Zonglong thought at first that he was the two generals He Renlong and Li Guoqi, and he was really comforted. However, when he saw Ma Mingfeng, he realized that He Renlong and Li Guoqi had no idea to save him at all. He suddenly felt infinite sadness and deep guilt. The person he relied on did not save him in times of danger. Instead, Ma Mingfeng, the person he had neglected, saved him.

Thinking of this, Fu Zonglong said ashamedly: "This time, thanks to Governor Ma who came to save his life and forgot to save himself. I am ashamed. I was unable to listen to your advice at the beginning, and I was defeated by the bandits' army. Even I was almost killed."

Ma Mingfeng was silent for a moment and said, "It's good as long as the lord is fine. Now is not the time to speak. Let's go out quickly. Li Chuang's army suddenly lost a lot. Bei Zhi guessed that the Chuang army should have seen Bei Zhi lead the army to support and judged that Kaifeng was empty, so he rushed to open the lord. But it doesn't matter. Kaifeng now has enough defenders, and the governor. It's better for us to go to Xiangcheng together. As long as we stick to Xiangcheng, the thief army has no choice."

Fu Zonglong thought about it and had no other choice but to follow Ma Mingfeng's advice and order the army to retreat to Xiangcheng.

Li Zicheng was snatched from the tiger's mouth and saved Fu Zonglong. Naturally, he was very angry. He was both angry that Ma Mingfeng intercepted the bell, and Fu Zonglong was also angry that he could escape smoothly. He even more angry that his generals were incompetent and allowed the government troops to meet smoothly. Therefore, he immediately ordered to chase them, and at all costs, he would catch up with them and kill them.

Ma Mingfeng, Fu Zonglong and others fought and retreated, and soon arrived at the city of Xiangcheng.

However, when Fu Zonglong and Ma Mingfeng showed their identities and called the door, the city gate guard did not dare to open the door, leaving Ma Mingfeng and more than 20,000 people under the city.

In this way, Ma Mingfeng and others were in danger. Although the soldiers on the city did not dare to attack them, they needed to face the joint pursuit of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai's army. If this was really the case, the result could be imagined that none of these 20,000 people would survive.

Seeing this scene, even Ma Mingfeng had no choice. He really didn't expect that there would be such a cowardly guard. It seemed that they would probably die here today.

At this time, Fu Zonglong said, "Governor Ma, there is only one way to do things, that is, I will lead the army to hold them back, and you will leave quickly with your brothers. As long as you arrive at Kaifeng City, you can not only defeat the enemy troops that attack the city, but also successfully enter Kaifeng City."

Ma Mingfeng shook his head and said, "You are a noble person, how can you do this? Besides, you are a master of Beizhi to help me in Henan. How can you let your guest take risks? Even if you want to hold up the thief, you still have to do it."

But Fu Zonglong smiled bitterly and said, "Fu's poor work has led to a great defeat in our army. Even if he can escape the pursuit of the bandit army, he will definitely not be able to escape the sword of the emperor. Instead of being executed by the emperor as a criminal, it is better to die in a grand manner. In this way, I will get a title in the future. Don't refuse. It's a pity that I have several young soldiers under my command who are extremely loyal and brave. It would be a pity that I would die here. I would like to ask the governor to allow them to be loyal to him from now on."

"This, this, lord, think twice. Bei Zhi is willing to protect lord from leaving." Ma Mingfeng's heart was very shocked. Although Fu Zonglong was telling the truth, he could not watch him die because of covering himself.

Fu Zonglong said in a deep voice: "Governor Ma must not refuse anymore. If it weren't for you, I would have been captured by Li Chuang just now. Besides, Mr. Shizhai asked me to take care of you. Not only did I fail to take care of you, I caused you a disaster. If I go back alive, where would you put my face?"

Then Fu Zonglong called over a hundred of his personal soldiers and said to Ma Mingfeng: "These are the most elite personal soldiers under my command. I rely on them to save my life from the battlefield many times. But today, even if they are ten times more numerous, they cannot save me. Instead of letting them die with me, it is better to let them follow you and continue to make achievements. There is only one thing, I hope that Governor Ma, you must not treat them with nothing."

Then Fu Zonglong gave some instructions to these personal soldiers and told them that it was Ma Mingfeng who saved their lives and that Ma Mingfeng would be chasing them in the future and be loyal to him. He would never allow any wrong thoughts.

Although these soldiers were grateful to Ma Mingfeng, they were unwilling to abandon Fu Zonglong. They were all people who had experienced life-threatening death on the battlefield. They were not afraid of death at all and were willing to accompany Fu Zonglong to die.

However, they were scolded by Fu Zonglong, and only heard Fu Zonglong say in a deep voice: "It's not easy to die? But if you want to survive and continue to kill the enemy, you are the real man and a real hero. If you die, who will avenge me in the future? If you really listen to me and be loyal to me, then listen to my orders, and follow Lord Ma and swear to be loyal to him to the death. Although Lord Ma is young, he is far-sighted and calm and wise, his future achievements will definitely surpass me. Following him will never be in vain."
