Chapter 25: Li Zicheng wakes up
"Ah......h
When Li Zicheng woke up, he was actually woken up by a bumpy carriage, which was originally a carriage that transported grain, and took down some grain bags, leaving only the bottom layer, which was regarded as an ambulance for Li Zicheng to lie down.
A person stood next to him and hurried over, he was following the carriage and walking on the road, so he was a little out of breath, and when he saw Li Zicheng wake up, he hurriedly came up and asked, "King Chuang, are you awake?" ”
Li Zicheng woke up, looked at the men around him wearing the uniforms of his subordinate Shun Army, and all of them held the weapons in their hands tightly, and suddenly felt a little relieved, and asked, "Where are we?" ”
The personal guard said: "King Chuang, I just passed by Funing, and in front of me is Changli. ”
Li Zicheng looked at it, there should be his intimate soldiers all around, he was attacked by the Eight Banners before, and those terrible people from the sky, now recall, it's really like a dream, as a person in power, Li Zicheng's biggest fear is that he can't guarantee survival after losing power, which is definitely a nightmare, but now, he still uses his prestige to control this army, after all, the backbone of the army, Liu Zongmin, and others, are all brought out by themselves.
Li Zicheng asked: "Who is in command of the team, let him come to see me, what happened just now." ”
The guard said, "This ......"
Li Zicheng said angrily: "Who is it, and how long has it been since the battle in front of Shanhaiguan, and what happened after that." ”
The man didn't dare to say anything, but said, "I'll call Lord Song, and he will go to the front team to direct the march." ”
After speaking, the guard left quickly, Li Zicheng looked around, as a commander, he didn't want to lie on the carriage, his clothes were old and old, and his morale was hurt, he was too old, and he was taken care of by the taser gun, which caused him to sleep for a long time, look at the sun, it was still afternoon, Li Zicheng said: "Stop, I'll go by myself." ”
The coachman who drove the carriage was the first to kill Li Xiangqian just now, and he has always been a man of few words, Li Zicheng couldn't imagine that this Henan man was so reliable, and said: "Sledgehammer, Wang Sledgehammer, what is the matter with those people who came down from the sky, have they already run away." ”
Wang Dazhui stopped the carriage, turned around, looked at Li Zicheng, and said, "Qiyu...... Your Majesty, let's ask Song Junshi to speak. ”
Just in the distance, Song Xiance's voice came, "Let go, get out of the way." At the same time, he trotted over, and saw that the man was approaching.
Song Xiance looked at the carriage parked there, Li Zicheng sat on the carriage, moving his limbs, wanted to stand up, hurried over, knelt down and said, "Minister, Song Xiance, I have seen Your Majesty." ”
Li Zicheng stood up and said: "Offer advice, get up, it's weird and dirty here, tell me what the situation is now, our army has suffered a surprise attack by those Tartar cavalry, and the losses are big." "Li Zicheng is most worried about this, if the loss in Shanhaiguan is too big, it will be a broken bone, the 10,000 people left in the imperial capital, but they are all recruited soldiers, it can be said that if the number of people who return to the imperial capital is too small, Li Zicheng will consider withdrawing from the imperial capital and returning to his hometown in Shaanxi.
Song Xiance's expression was strange, and he lowered his head and said, "This, Your Majesty, the loss is not big." He softened his tone a little, was a little happier, and said: "The losses of our army are probably more than 10,000, counting the losses from fighting with the Wu army, as well as the losses from being raided by the Tartar soldiers, and the rest of the more than 40,000 people are here." ”
"Good ......" Li Zicheng is of course happy, with these more than 40,000 people, he has the confidence to hold the north, hold the imperial capital, suppress the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops to surrender, and then mobilize his henchmen, the hundreds of thousands of troops, the real enemy, the outside Tartars, think about it carefully, yes, Li Shimin was also in the Weishui Alliance, and now he has pacified the Turks in the north, so he has the strength to go south to pacify the world.
Then, it is necessary to block these Tartar soldiers in the imperial capital first, Li Zicheng thought for a while, and said: "That's good, find me a few horses, let's go back to the imperial capital to prepare for the war, and strive to block the pursuit of the Tartars in the imperial capital first, and at the same time issue a will, ordering the army from all over the country to rush to help, the Tartar soldiers all have to rely on horsepower to fight, as long as they survive the autumn, the horses are thin, see what else the Tartars can do." ”
It must be said that Li Zicheng, who has been fighting all his life, sees it very accurately, one of the biggest weaknesses of the Eight Banners is that the battle relies on war horses, and once the war horses are hungry and thin, it will naturally be over.
Moreover, its habit of not doing anything to produce, as well as its greed for life and fear of death, led to its ability to attack fortifications, although there were countless cannon fodder soldiers of various races charging into battle, but it was still not enough to deal with it.
Song Xiance was embarrassed for a moment and said, "This, I'm just afraid it's difficult." ”
Li Zicheng was slightly displeased and said, "What's the matter, don't you listen to my orders?" ”
Song Xiance lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is a situation that you have just woken up and may not know yet. ”
Li Zicheng said: "I don't know what it is. ”
Song Xiance was about to explain, but when he heard a voice in the sky, he immediately looked nervous and said: "This, Your Majesty, let's hurry up, you sit in the car, I will walk on the side, I will explain everything to you." ”
Li Zicheng said: "If there is anything, just say it here, do you want to hurry." ”
Song Xiance said nervously: "We must rush to the Luanzhou station in Yongping Mansion before nightfall tonight, otherwise we will ......."
Li Zicheng said: "Why, is there still someone persecuting you?" ”
Song Xiance said: "Your Majesty, that's it, now, we are actually prisoners of other people." ”
"Prisoner!" Li Zicheng looked around and found that they were all men wearing Shunjun uniforms, and they all walked over with their heads down, and when they saw Li Zicheng's carriage, they also avoided it, and then walked over, but they were all fully armed.
Li Zicheng said: "Prisoner, who imprisoned us, does anyone dare to make trouble!" "Think about it carefully, the head of the army, Liu Zongmin, crawled out of the pile of corpses together, no matter how you look at it, they are all the posture of the first general, as well as Gao Yigong and Li Guo, they are also their relatives, at this time, how can anyone do it?"
Song Xiance smiled bitterly and said: "That's the case, those people who come from the sky shouldn't be immortals, but they are all shrewd, they control everything, we have no choice but to obey orders like this." ”
Li Zicheng said: "Aren't your weapons all there, there are these guys ......?"
As soon as Song Xiance wanted to explain, he heard the sound of "whirring", a milky white disc-like thing, just flew down, and landed directly in front of the carriage, there was a person sitting on the disc, wearing a white armor, but the helmet had been taken off, he looked Li Zicheng up and down a few times, and said: "It turns out that I have woken up, I see that Mr.'s body is still very good, this is good." ”
