Tian Jianxiu smiled: "What's the hurry? Where there is life, there is hope. Sooner or later, I'll meet him kid. [No pop-ups. 】”

Liu Fangliang said: "Now that the food is like this, we have to look around, otherwise we will be hungry and have no way to fight with the official army." ”

Liu Zongmin said: "The most important thing is to collect some scattered people, only a dozen of us, when we encounter the search team of the official army, it is a troublesome matter." ”

Li Zicheng looked calm: "I think, we can get some official and military uniforms, so that it is safer, even if we encounter officers and soldiers, most of them can deal with the past." Liu Zongmin shook his head: "But if you want to recruit people, you have to put up a big flag, and as soon as you put up the flag, the officers and soldiers will know it, it's too dangerous." Li Zicheng said: "First ensure your own safety, and then talk about recruiting people, I'm too tired right now, let's rest first." Li Guo, you come to keep vigil. ”

After the order was finished, everyone hastily ate a few roasted sweet potatoes, and then they each fell asleep in their clothes, and the dozen or so war horses were tied under the tree, and in order to prevent the chirping, they all put on chews, and everyone hugged their weapons in their arms, made the fire of the fire smaller, surrounded the side, and fell asleep immediately.

These people were so tired that as soon as their heads touched the ground, they fell asleep.

Li Guo tried hard to open his eyes and glanced around, only the cold wind howled in the mountains in winter, blowing through the cracks of the rocks and the forest, making a whining sound, but other than that, there was no sound. Li Guo guarded for a while, and finally couldn't support it anymore, his eyes closed, and he fell asleep.

Not long after, outside the forest, a group of people came.

These people are not officers and soldiers, but militiamen in the villages under the gang. It is also unlucky, Li Zicheng They were far away from the village, and in the forest, they would not have been discovered, who would have thought that this night, there happened to be a couple of men and women running out to cheat, they were also afraid of the cold, just halfway up the mountain, into a small hole. This is not the first time these two have come, so they are familiar with the road, and this man is a small squad in the militia.

Two men and women were fooling around, suddenly heard a movement on the post, the man relied on his courage, left the woman in the hole, touched himself lightly, hid behind a big stone, looked out, and saw a group of people, all riding war horses, belts and swords, it seems that it is not an official army, this team is shocked in his heart, he has a hunch, this is a group of peasant army.

In fact, he didn't know that there was Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, in this group of people, but he only knew that the government had issued a reward, and if he caught the peasant army, he would have a heavy reward, so the team was full of joy and got off the post, called the woman, and the two of them did not fool around and returned to the village.

The name of this village is Maocaoyu, and the team is reporting to the militia leader, who is overjoyed, takes all the people, and goes to arrest him. Since these people did not dare to light torches, they did not move quickly, and they did not come out of the forest until about the third watch.

The leader asked the team, "Have you seen clearly?" Right in here? ”

Team Zheng nodded: "That's right, I see it clearly." There were nearly twenty people in total, and each of them had weapons. The leader looked at the forest not far away, there was no movement, but he could faintly see some light, as if it was a flame, so he waved his hand, more than sixty militiamen, holding sticks and ropes in their hands, and more than ten people with knives quietly touched up.

At this time, Li Zicheng and the others were still asleep and had not woken up, and the fatigue of the past few days made them sleep very deeply when they lay down, and Li Guo was the same. In a short time, the militia had already pounced on the outside of the forest. Twenty or thirty steps to go, you'll be in front of you.

At this moment, the horses in the forest felt movement.

The autumn grass yellow that Li Zicheng rode was a good horse, experienced in battle, and very clever. It heard footsteps outside the woods, and immediately pricked up its ears, and looked around, and there were many dark shadows approaching this way, and it began to feel uneasy.

Autumn grass yellow could not run because it was tethered, and it could not scream with a chew on its mouth, so it kicked on the stones beside it with its shoes.

Bang bang, bang bang......

The farriers were on the stones, and even sparks sparked.

By this time, the militia had already pounced more than ten paces away.

Although Li Zicheng was asleep, he still heard the sound of crackling, and he looked sideways, Qiu Caohuang was kicking the stone incessantly, and his mane was messy. Li Zicheng jumped up, pulled out the sword of the flower horse, and shouted: "Someone, get on the horse!" ”

Eighteen people woke up in unison, jumped up and looked around, and the enemy had already pounced within ten paces.

Li Zicheng raised a sword in his hand, cut off the reins, flew on the horse, and the rest of the people did the same as him, straddled the horse's back, and rushed outward.

The leader and the team stopped at the head, and the knife in their hands had just been raised, and they were stabbed through the front heart by Hao Shaoqi and Yuan Zongdi. Yu ** was shocked, these people were all from peasants, they had never fought, how could they have seen this, as soon as they were stunned, Liu Fangliang and Li Guo rushed over, raised their knives in their hands, and cut off three or four heads.

Li Zicheng knew that the traces of his group had been exposed, and they could not fall in love with war, so he beckoned everyone to rush to their posts.

The militiamen, with their leader dead and without horses, watched as the gang burst through the crowd and into the night.

Early the next morning, the officers and soldiers received news that a group of peasant troops were near Maocaoyu and fled in a hurry, so a large number of officers and soldiers began to search here.

Speaking of Li Yan, he, Li Kang, Tang Sai'er, Tang Hu and his party brought 300 cavalry into Funiu Mountain, they were all dressed as officers and soldiers, so they traveled unhindered along the way, and soon went deep into the mountains.

After walking for two days, he didn't find any trace of the peasant army, and Li Yan began to be a little worried.

On this morning, while the group was walking, they suddenly found a group of officers and soldiers coming out of a valley road on the side, and the two groups were very close to each other, and when they found each other, they were less than fifty paces away.

Both sides were startled at first, and each pulled his weapon and prepared to fight, but after looking at it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Dang immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Whose men and horses are you?" The other party replied: "We are the subordinates of General Zuo Guangxian, what about you?" Li Yan said: "We are the subordinates of General Niu Chenghu. ”

Both of them are brave generals under Hong Chengchou's account, but the two sides are a little incompatible. That's why Li Yan said so.

The general on the opposite side answered, didn't ask any more, and continued to move forward. Li Yan shouted, "Where are you going to search?" Let's not search for duplicates, it's thankless. The general on the opposite side said, "We went to Maocaoyu, where we found the thieves' men and horses." ”

Li Yan and Li Dare glanced at each other, both surprised and delighted. So he ordered the three hundred cavalry, to follow from behind, and also to go to the thatched island.

The two sides marched towards Maocaoyu one after the other, separated by more than a mile. After walking for about three hours, it was already afternoon, and Li Yan suddenly heard a commotion in the distance, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing.

It's not good, it must be the king's men and horses, who are fighting to the death with the official army.

At this time, the men and horses in front of Zuo Guangxian had already shown their weapons and rushed forward with a shout. Li Yan ordered, followed closely behind, and acted at the opportunity.

Sure enough, when I rushed over a hillside, I found a battlefield not far away, and the battle was fierce. A group of peasant troops was surrounded on a low ridge, and there were some woods on the ridge that obscured the number of peasant troops, so that it was impossible to see how many there were, and there were several hundred officers and soldiers surrounding the ridge, and they were constantly firing arrows at the top, and they were rushing upwards as they fired.

These officers and soldiers all dismounted, holding shields, swords and guns, and attacked upward, while there were some officers and soldiers at the bottom of the ridge, holding bird guns in their hands, blocking the passage down the ridge and preventing the peasant army from breaking through the encirclement.

Li Dang's eyes were sharp, and with a sweep, he found that a big flag flashed in the woods on the ridge, and there was a word on it. So he said to his brother Li Yan: "Sure enough, it's the king of the king." Maybe King Chuang himself is also among them, so we came at the right time. ”

Li Yan looked at the officers and soldiers surrounding the ridge, and said softly: "The enemy is outnumbered, and you need to attack it unprepared, big brother, you go to see the leaders of these officers and soldiers, behead them by surprise, and then charge." ”

Li Dare nodded: "Okay." He immediately observed for a while and said: "These are two teams of officers and soldiers, the first team to come, the leader is under that tree, and the second team is Zuo Guangxian's men and horses in front of us." On our left. These two teams of men and horses, two leaders, if they want to kill, they need to work together. Who's going with me? ”

Tang Hu continued: "General Li, I'll go with you, and kill one by one." ”

Li Yan said: "Okay, you listen to my orders, as long as I shout here to kill, as soon as the men and horses rush forward, you will do it." ”

The two agreed, each with a hundred cavalry, and galloped to the two leaders in separate ways, and the two leaders had already discovered Li Yan's men and horses, but they didn't care, because they were all wearing official uniforms, and they were just searching for people and horses for another while.

Li Dare reined in his horse, came to Zuo Guangxian's people, approached the leader, and asked, "How many thieves are there?" The leader said, "I don't know, but it seems that there are at most one or two hundred people." ”

At this time, Tang Hu also came to the side of another leader, that leader was a thousand generals under Yang Wenyue, and when he asked Tang Hu, he said that it was Niu Chenghu's men and horses, and he did not suspect it, and continued to command the attack.

Li Yan saw it in his eyes, and saw that neither of them aroused the suspicion of the officials and soldiers, so he pulled out his sword, waved it into the air, and ordered the hundred men and horses around him: "Shout loudly and kill, rush forward." ”

A hundred cavalry shouted in unison and rushed upward.

Li Dang and Tang Hu heard the shout, looked back, and saw that Li Yan had already waved his army to attack, and the two of them did not hesitate, drew their swords out of their sheaths, and slashed at the leaders of the officers and soldiers beside them.

These two leaders never expected that it would be the Qin army who came, and they were not prepared at all, only to see the sword light passing by, and the two of them spurted blood in their throats, and fell off their horses.

The soldiers around the two were stunned for a moment, and the Qin army rushed forward, dancing with swords, killing one who lost his armor and fled in all directions.
