"After entering the city, the troops were immediately divided into two groups. One group would defend against the enemy on the city walls, while the other group would engage in street battles with the Ming army, and clear out the Ming army in the city as quickly as possible."
"As for Li Xingzhong..." Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and looked behind him.
Li Xingzhong, who was surrounded, was still fighting stubbornly.
The Shun army had several times more troops than his. Although they surrounded him, they were unable to defeat him in a short period of time.
These Ming soldiers had long been ready to die, and they fought with all their might, even risking their lives.

At the same time, the city gates opened wide!
Countless soldiers and civilians stumbled out!
Running in the front was a carriage with two children sitting in it.
The older children pointed in a certain direction in the city and kept shouting, "Arrogant! Arrogant! You wait, Li Chuang thief, I will counterattack Damingfu sooner or later!"
