Chapter 158: Hunting down Li Zicheng
Among the peasant army, there were many people who did not understand why they had to withdraw their troops at this time, and as long as they made more efforts, they could break through and encircle.
Hua Xiaorong returned to the rear in a huff, but before he could question, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves was already heard in the distance.
The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, shaking the universe, and the sky seemed to be trampled by the roaring cavalry. They were in a strict formation, with a silver light in the middle, and their horses were connected by iron cables.
Wu Yangui's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Withdraw.... Evacuate ..... Hurry up, ......"
In an instant, Wu Yangui, Li Yangchun and others turned their horses' heads and fled in the direction of Yan'an City. And those peasant soldiers who had no horses to ride were suffering, and the kidnapping horse cavalry poured in, sharp iron cables, fierce cavalry guns, from east to west, like ox plows, slashing the peasant army formation out of a dead zone.
Life was so fragile that the kidnappers swept past, and almost none of them were intact, the ground was full of stumps and broken arms, and countless pieces of meat hung from the iron cables in the distance. The blood continued to spread, and the pool of blood turned into a sea of blood, until the eyes were red.
Where is this war, this is simply a massacre.
Many were frightened and went crazy, throwing away their swords and wailing and fleeing, but this only hastened death.
With the abduction of the horse cutting, Cao Wenzhao was overjoyed and ordered to start a counteroffensive, and the officers and soldiers, who were already exhausted, mustered up their last strength to give the peasant army the final blow.
Azig did not let the rest of the cavalry join the battle group, but pointed at the scimitar and led the rest of the cavalry towards Yan'an City.
Fleeing, a fatal escape, there were too many peasant armies, and the rout in one area was like the tide of low tide, leaving many swimming fish in the water on the shore and dying of dehydration.
Route, stampede, and the wolf-like cavalry behind them, from south to north, this escape road, a few people fell at every step.
Wu Yangui looked back, his heart trembled, and he almost fell off his horse. Under the scorching sun, it has turned into a bright red blood road behind him, and the blood water flows, like a newly dug blood-colored river.
After this battle, how many people will be able to return to Yan'an City alive? Under the rout, can you really hold Yan'an City and Ansai City?
How have you ever suffered such a defeat since the beginning of the army? In a defeat, all the pride and ambition were drowned by this bloody river.
Li Yangchun has been following Wu Yangui's side, he has a deep feeling for everything behind him, and after the shadow of Yan'an City appeared in his field of vision, he grabbed Wu Yangui's reins.
"Leader Wu, we can't go back to Yan'an City, under the rout of the brothers, the officers and soldiers will chase and kill, and Yan'an City will be paper-paste. Let's go back to Yan'an City at this time, it's a self-defeating net! ”
"What then?"
Li Yangchun gritted his teeth, looked at the crowd behind him who were still fleeing for their lives, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, "For today's plan, I gave up Yan'an City and Ansai City, fled westward, and then turned to the south, and went to Fengxiang Mansion to meet Wang Jiayin." ”
Wu Yangui's brows were piled together, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably, "Do this..... There are also brothers here in the city of Ansai..... That's all ......"
"Leader Wu, don't hesitate, as the saying goes, if you stay in Qingshan, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood, as long as our brothers are still there, we will soon pull up a team again!" Li Zicheng also urgently persuaded at this time.
If you really want to talk about it, Li Zicheng is the most unwilling person. He had just defected, thinking that he would be able to show his ambitions, but he didn't enjoy it for long, but he suffered a crushing defeat, and if he lost his life here, how could he be willing?
Under the persuasion of everyone, Wu Yangui finally turned his head and went west.
.....
Azig led people to chase and kill all the way, and she ignored those who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and crossed over directly, leaving her alone in the matter of collecting the captives. Seeing that he was about to chase to Yan'an City, he kept chasing after him, Aqige looked at it and said curiously: "General Zhou, why are you?" ”
Zhou Dingshan gasped and snorted: "Princess, Brother Tie said to let you bite those leaders, especially one of them named Li Zicheng, and slaughtered him at all costs." ”
"Oh, well!" Aqige divided half of the men and horses and handed them over to Zhou Dingshan, and he led the rest of the men and horses to the west to chase Wu Yangui. But she still wondered a little in her heart, which onion is Li Zicheng? Why is it important?
The cavalry under the command of Aqige are all the same, and the war horses are even better grassland horses, and the pursuit speed is naturally not slow. Although Wu Yangui kept sending people to intercept him, and there were too few cavalry under his command, where could he stop it.
The sound of horses' hooves behind him was getting closer and closer, and even the sound of whistling could be heard. Wu Yangui, Li Yangchun and others all turned pale, secretly calling for my life.
"The thief Li Zicheng...... Where to go......"
"Hugh left, Li Zicheng...... The general has an order...... Those who kill Li Zicheng will be rewarded ....."
The clearer the voice, but these words fell into the hands of Li Yangchun and others, and they couldn't help but have question marks in their heads. Especially Wu Yangui, he didn't feel a good feeling in his heart.
Shouldn't the officers and soldiers want to kill Wu Yangui and Wu Leader the most? Why do you focus on Li Zicheng's killing? When did Li Zicheng become so important?
Wu Yangui knew that he wasn't thinking about these things, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and a pair of eyes unconsciously glanced at Li Zicheng who was following behind.
Li Zicheng's body trembled, and his heart was bitter. Who am I messing with? Lao Tzu didn't know the living king of Hades before, why did he have to chase after Lao Tzu, just because Lao Tzu was the commander of officers and soldiers before?
Wu Yangui and the others ran desperately, but where could the tired war horses outrun those recuperated cavalry. In desperation, Li Yangchun and Wu Yangui decided to flee separately, and if they still ran together, they would probably be caught in the end.
Soon after, the leaders of the peasant army were divided into four groups, namely Wu Yangui, Wang Yan of a gust of wind, Xiaorong of Yingshan Honghua, and Li Yangchun. After they separated, Li Zicheng was assigned behind Wu Yangui.
In his heart, Li Zicheng didn't want to follow Wu Yangui, in his opinion, Wu Yangui's goal was too big, and the possibility of escape was the least. Sure enough, after separation, there were the most officers and soldiers behind their buttocks.
At this time, the officers and soldiers behind him were still clamoring, saying that they would not let Li Zicheng go. At this point, Li Zicheng's heart also relaxed a lot, don't look at the officers and soldiers shouting loudly, eighty percent don't know what he looks like.
Wu Yangui was desperately whipping the war horse, because of a rout, many of his own soldiers had been dispersed, and now there were several other leaders left with Wu Yangui in addition to Li Zicheng, among which Altair Star Wei Yang, Nine Dragons Du Wen, and Sweeping King Zhang Yichuan were also famous figures in the rebel army.
Running all the way, the blurred mountain shadow in the field of vision became clearer and clearer, and further ahead was Phoenix Ridge. As long as you enter the Phoenix Ridge, the horses are impassable, and the mountain road is rugged and complicated, so there is a great possibility of escape.
