Cao Wenzhao said: "Okay, the brothers are all good men, everyone is in a group, fight to the death, if you want to eat dozens of us, you have to pull hundreds of them to accompany the funeral." 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】”

As he spoke, he led the dozens of cavalrymen to form a circle formation, raising their swords and guns together, facing the surging peasant army.

At this moment, Cao Wenzhao knew that it was impossible to break through, although they all had horses, but the impact of dozens of people was too small, and the enemy would easily cut off their formations.

As soon as the peasant army saw that there were only a few dozen of them, their eyes immediately lit up, in the past, they didn't dare to think that they would kill Cao Wenzhao, but the opportunity finally came, how could these people not be excited, they screamed, and pounced together.

At this time, Bai Qi sent an order, ordering all the Qin troops to withdraw from the battlefield and no longer pay attention to Cao Wenzhao, and the people were quick to attack Xia County.

Bai Qi's order came down, Li Dan was a little puzzled, he ran to Bai Qi, and arched his hand: "General, why did you turn to attack Xia County?" Do you leave the great credit of killing Cao Wenzhao to Li Zicheng alone? Bai nodded: "Exactly, there are many people in Guanning Iron Cavalry who have broken through, and there is no oil and water to fish here." As for Cao Wenzhao, who is already dead, the peasant army is willing to kill him, so let them kill him, and when the time comes, whether it is Hong Chengchou or Lu Xiangsheng, they will think that Li Zicheng is the great enemy, and the officials and soldiers will also hate Li Zicheng even more, which is not a good thing. Our Qin army is not very strong at the moment, so it is better not to be hated. ”

Li Yan also ran over at this time and said: "The general is right, let the peasant army attack and kill Cao Wenzhao here, let's go to Xia County to make a big profit, so as not to go back empty-handed." ”

Li Dang suddenly realized this, he laughed, and ordered all the Qin troops to assemble and raid Xia County.

Bai Qi ordered his subordinates to collect the corpses of the Guanning Iron Cavalry on the battlefield, then took off their iron armor and coats, put them on, pretended to be the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and went to the city.

Li Kang was very excited, took the lead with the iron armor and the number one coat, and went straight to Xia County.

Besides, Li Zicheng, when he saw that the Qin army had withdrawn, he didn't know what he meant, anyway, he didn't care at this time, it was important to kill Cao Wenzhao first. So he gave the order to attack.

In fact, there is no need to give an order, the peasant army has already begun to engage with Cao Wenzhao in short combat.

Dozens of Guanning iron cavalry surrounded by the formation, no matter how strict the order, can not withstand the impact of thousands of people, around the Guanning iron cavalry, hundreds of spears densely packed, like hedgehogs, keep accumulating thorns, no matter how powerful the Guanning iron cavalry is, can not stop so many guns, from time to time someone's war horse is stabbed down, people also fall down, without waiting to get up, was stabbed on the body by more than a dozen guns, pierced like a sieve.

One after another, the Guanning iron cavalry was stabbed off their horses, and the encirclement was gradually reduced.

Cao Wenzhao was not afraid at all, one of his iron spears was like a living snake, and every time he showed his snake teeth, he would stab a peasant army, and in front of him, more than twenty corpses had fallen.

But there are fewer and fewer people around him.

After the last Guanning Iron Cavalry also fell, Cao Wenzhao was only one person.

At this time, he picked up the iron spear, and the tiger was vigorous, forming a circle with a diameter of one foot around him, and any peasant army that stepped into this circle fell under his spear.

Before and after Cao Wenzhao, there were more than 30 corpses. The people in the back, who have already stepped on the corpses of the people in front, are attacking.

Cao Wenzhao also stepped on the corpse, shooting left and right, but a discerning person could see that his strength was rapidly disappearing, and he would soon be exhausted.

Li Zicheng came to the outside of the circle and shouted through the human layer: "Cao Wenzhao, you are only alone, surrender quickly, as long as you surrender, I can save you from death." ”

Cao Wenzhao laughed: "I am the chief soldier of the court, how can I surrender to a thief, Li Zicheng, you want to have a kind, come and fight with me to the death." Get some shrimp soldiers and crabs will come to die, so shameless. ”

Li Zicheng also knew that it was impossible for Cao Wenzhao to surrender, and even if he surrendered, he would not dare to use it easily, so he didn't say anything anymore and nodded lightly to Liu Zongmin beside him.

Liu Zongmin understood what he meant, drew his sword and shouted: "Those who kill Cao Wenzhao will be rewarded." ”

There was a brave man under the heavy reward, and everyone pounced again.

Cao Wenzhao rose up and shot a few shots, killing three peasant soldiers who rushed to the front, but the iron spear was smashed by the fourth person with an iron rod.

His strength was running out, and he couldn't hold the iron spear tightly.

When this peasant army saw that Cao Wenzhao's weapon was out of his hands, he was overjoyed, and jumped over and smashed it. Cao Wenzhao flashed sideways, the peasant army was too strong, and his body was led forward, Cao Wenzhao took out his waist knife and slashed it with one sword, cutting off the man's head and brain, and cutting off half of it.

Cao Wenzhao held a single knife in his hand, and hacked two peasant soldiers to death in a row, and he really had no strength. He roared, drew a circle with his knife, forced back the people who rushed up, and then shouted: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been loyal today. ”

Then he pressed the knife to his neck and stared at the people around him.

No one attacked, no one spoke, and everyone held their breath as they watched the strongest of enemies.

Cao Wenzhao laughed and slashed his hands.

Blood splattered and went straight into the air.

Cao Wenzhao's neck was bleeding, but his eyes were wide open, and his body was unstoppable.

No one dared to step forward, and everyone was shocked by the aftermath of his death, and still did not believe that he had committed suicide.

After a long time, with a bang, Cao Wenzhao's knife fell, and then his body shook a few times and slowly fell.

Until this time, no one dared to step forward and take Cao Wenzhao's head, as if he was afraid that he would jump up.

Li Zicheng lined up the crowd and walked into the middle of the field. He saw that at least forty peasant soldiers were lying beside Cao Wenzhao, all of whom were fatal with one shot. So he looked at Liu Zongmin beside him and sighed: "Cao Wenzhao, there is really the courage of the overlord of Chu." ”

Liu Zongmin snorted disappreciatively: "So what, we haven't sent it back to grandma's house yet." Someone, take his head off. ”

A personal soldier beside him agreed, stepped forward with a knife, and was about to cut off Cao Wenzhao's head.

Li Zicheng stopped: "Don't do this." Although Cao Wenzhao killed many of us, he was also a hero and a good man. It is said that when he was in Liaodong and beat the Tartars, he also made a lot of contributions. I admire such people. It's just that he kept the wrong court. ”

After speaking, he ordered his subordinates to bury Cao Wenzhao.

Liu Zongmin was a little unhappy: "Brother Li, you are too kind, how many brothers did Cao Wenzhao kill, and you still buried him?" ”

Li Zicheng smiled: "Jiexuan, this is not a bad thing. ”

Liu Zongmin's character is Jiexuan, Li Zicheng is very polite to him, and he always calls his character instead of his name.

Li Zicheng continued: "Let's kill Cao Wenzhao, Chongzhen must hate us to the bone." must be desperate to send troops to chase and kill, when those generals heard that we would bury Cao Wenzhao, they must feel that the old eighth team is very humane, and when they fight, they may mutter in their hearts, and they can't keep their subordinates merciful. ”

Liu Zongmin shook his head: "Brother Li, those officers and soldiers are all thieves who harm the people, let their subordinates show mercy, I don't think it's possible." ”

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Don't care about it's impossible, Cao Wenzhao is dead, even if he picks his head out to parade on the street, he is still dead, he can't help us, whether he is buried or not, in fact, it's nothing, I'm just doing a favor, as for whether people appreciate it or not, we can't care so much." By the way, what about Qin Jun? ”

Tian Jianxiu said: "I saw them gather people and go straight to Xia County." ”

Li Zicheng groaned: "The Qin army is going to attack Xia County. They traveled far and wide, and they didn't want to go back empty-handed, so it was normal for them to want to go to the city to make a profit. ”

Tian Jianxiu said: "Brother Li, should we go too?" ”

Li Zicheng thought for a while: "Forget it, let them go and fish, Xia County is small, and there won't be a lot of money and food." We have tens of thousands of horses, which is not enough to stuff our teeth. Order everyone, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, let's prepare to go back to Henan and go to the army with King Chuang. ”

Tian Jianxiu said: "Now will you be a teacher? Why? ”

Li Zicheng said: "Let's kill Ai Wannian and Cao Wenzhao, the court will be furious, at the moment we only have less than 30,000 horses, outnumbered, and they will have a division with King Chuang, so they are not afraid." ”

Not to mention the peasant army, let alone the Qin army, Li Dang took the lead, led two thousand Qin cavalry in front, Bai Qi and Li Yan were in the Chinese army, and went straight to Xia County.

At this time, the city had learned that the peasant army and Cao Wenzhao were fighting outside the city, and there were less than 1,000 soldiers in the city.

Soon after, a group of Guanning iron cavalry rushed over outside the city, came to the city and called Guan, saying that Cao had an order, broke through separately, and came here to rendezvous.

The county order of Xia County came to the city, and he didn't understand the truth for a while, so he didn't dare to open the city. Those Guanning iron riders had never eaten this closed-door soup, and they shouted and scolded loudly. The general in the city saw that these people were dressed, and sure enough, they were officers and soldiers, so they consulted with the county commander, and boldly opened the city gate to welcome these people in.

After these Guanning iron horses entered the city, they were also stable, and they rested on the streets, tidied up their horses, and bandaged their wounds, which made the county order feel at ease. So not long after, one after another Guanning iron cavalry ran to the city and was let into the city by them.

Later, Cao Bianjiao also arrived, and after he was rescued by his uncle, he was scattered again, and then he heard his uncle's order, so he took dozens of subordinates, broke out, and rushed to the city. He didn't know that his uncle was surrounded, and if he knew, he would definitely be desperate to save Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Bianjiao rested for a while, but he never saw his uncle coming, so he knew that something was wrong, so he took five hundred Guanning iron horsemen and killed them again.

Before he returned to the battlefield, he was bumping into Li Kang head-on, and Li Kang saw that there were not many people on the other side, so he ordered: "Defeat them." ”
