Chapter 368: The Tragic Li Zicheng (3)
The defeat was like a mountain, Li Zicheng's 180,000 Dashun army collapsed as soon as it broke out of the encirclement, and the soldiers scattered and fled for their lives, coupled with the pursuit of the Ming army behind him, Li Zicheng could not gather the soldiers at all.
Helpless, Li Zicheng can only save himself first, the army is gone, he can pull it again, if his life is gone, it will really be gone!
The deserters of the Dashun Army all over the mountains are like headless flies, with no direction, only knowing to run to a place where there is no Ming army!
"Withdraw! Evacuate! Li Zicheng roared angrily, looking at the direction of Nanyang, and also ran for his life.
The situation at this time made Li Zicheng's teeth almost cracked, such a memory was too profound for him, it was not the first time he was so tragically chased and killed by an army of more than 100,000 or 200,000, the Ming army chased and killed him, the Manchurians also chased and killed him, and this time it was the Ming army chasing and killing him.
But so what!
I, Li Zicheng, am the real son of destiny, and I will never be killed, even if I am defeated again, I Li Zicheng will make a comeback again! Li Zicheng also yelled in his heart countless times in this sentence, almost every time he made a comeback as he wished, so he didn't really despair, he also firmly believed that he could make a comeback.
"Kill"
More than 200,000 troops such as the Long Army pursued and killed! However, there were too many routs of the Dashun army all over the mountains, which greatly hindered the speed of the Ming army's pursuit of Li Zicheng.
"There are too many routs, and Li Zicheng may have to run away in a while!" Zhang Kuishan looked at Li Zicheng's moving figure in front of him with a gloomy face.
I have to say that Li Zicheng has escaped countless times, and he is very good at escaping, and the Ming army was unable to catch up with him all of a sudden, and even because of the rout of the mountains and fields, he was gradually thrown off a distance.
"It's not a way to go on like this, we must solve this rout all over the mountains!" The red lady said.
"Yes, what can the Red Lady General do?" Zhang Kuishan asked.
The red lady thought for a while and said: "It's better to let the soldiers shout, and let all the routs who scattered and fled surrender on their knees!" ”
Zhang Kuishan nodded, this is a good way.
"Someone! Pass the order down, throw away the weapon and kneel down and surrender without killing! Zhang Kuishan and the red lady decisively ordered.
The order was passed down, and hundreds of Ming soldiers ran into the battlefield, shouting as they ran: "Those who surrender on their knees will not be killed!" Those who surrender on their knees will not be killed! ”
As the hundreds of Ming soldiers shouted first, all the Ming soldiers who heard it were slightly stunned, and then they also shouted: "Those who surrender on their knees will not be killed!" ”
"Those who surrender on their knees will not be killed!"
More than 200,000 soldiers of the Ming army shouted together, the momentum was shocking, and the soldiers of the Dashun army, who had fled in all directions and had no will to fight, were so frightened that their legs were weak, and at the moment before the Ming army chased them, they automatically threw away the weapons in their hands and knelt down to surrender.
There are one and two, and countless soldiers of the Dashun Army who are scattered and fleeing surrender on their knees.
The battlefield was suddenly reduced by half of the chaos, and without the obstacle of the rout, the speed of the Ming army's pursuit of Li Zicheng was suddenly much faster!
"Kill" shouted that the killing sound shook the sky, and the Ming army bit the remnants led by Li Zicheng to the death.
"Damn, yes, you caught up so quickly!" Li Zicheng glanced back at the back, and there were countless figures of the Ming army biting at the tip of his eyes, and he couldn't help but scold out in fear.
Although Li Zicheng was running away on a war horse, he was extremely embarrassed at the moment, with his hair scattered, like a lost dog!
Longfeng Bend is thirty miles away from Nanyang, and it is impossible to reach it without more than half an hour.
The Ming army chased too closely, and Li Zicheng's eyes suddenly looked left and right, and finally fixed on one person.
"Shi Fangyu, you take 10,000 horses to stay behind to stop the Ming army, and after the matter is completed, I will crown you as the king!" Li Zicheng ordered in an intolerable tone, and at the same time made a heavy promise.
Shi Fangyu is the general of the Dashun Army next to Li Zicheng, second only to Li Guo, Li Guo is too important, Li Zicheng is impossible to abandon, so he can only sacrifice Shi Fangyu.
Shi Fangyu's face changed, and he couldn't help but scold in his heart, yes, this is clearly sending him to death! After what happened, he named me the king, and he really stayed to block the Ming army, does he still have the life to lead this prince?
Besides, Da Shun has exhausted his qi, and if he says it well, he is called Da Shun Dynasty, but if he says it badly, he is just an incompetent bandit.
Li Zicheng, you are unkind, don't blame me for Shi Fangyu's injustice!
Although Shi Fangyu didn't dare to openly resist Li Zicheng's order, he had another way!
"The last will obey!" After Shi Fangyu received the order, he casually ordered 10,000 soldiers and horses, turned the horse's head and went to meet the pursuing Ming army!
Li Zicheng's remnants were only a few hundred meters away from the Ming army pursuing in the rear, and Shi Fangyu with 10,000 horses had just turned his horse's head to prepare to meet the attack, and the Ming army was about to arrive.
Shi Fangyu was so frightened that his soul was scared, he didn't want to be hacked to death by the pursuers like this.
"I surrender!" Shi Fangyu didn't hesitate at all, and immediately jumped off the horse, threw the saber in his hand, and surrendered on his knees.
The other soldiers of the Dashun Army were stunned, damn it, even the leading general directly threw away his weapons and knelt down to surrender, and they still blocked a fart!
"We surrender!" With Shi Fangyu staying, the remnants of the 10,000 Dashun army who blocked the pursuit of the Ming army all threw away their weapons and surrendered on their knees.
"Kill"
Seeing this, the pursuing Ming soldiers ignored it, and directly passed through the 10,000 soldiers of the Dashun Army who surrendered on their knees, and continued to pursue and kill Li Zicheng!
"Damn Stone Domain!" When Li Zicheng saw this scene made by Shi Fangyu, he was almost so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood, he gave up 10,000 troops, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even stop him, and he surrendered to the Ming army directly!
Li Zicheng only had 40,000 remnants left around him, and he didn't dare to assign the army to stay behind to stop the Ming army from chasing the soldiers, for fear that he would become a meat bun for beating dogs like Shi Fangyu, and if he didn't go back, he would hit his morale in vain.
Li Zicheng's escape was very set in the end, although there were many soldiers of the Dashun Army who could not resist falling behind along the way, Li Zicheng's soldiers ran on the front line of escape.
Just when Li Zicheng and the remnants of the army were still twenty-five miles away from Nanyang City. Yang Kun, who was ordered to lead two thousand Ying Long troops and another twenty thousand troops, had already arrived at Nanyang City one step ahead of him, and was violently attacking Nanyang!
"Fire!" Three field cannons opened fire on the closed Nanyang City Gate.
"Boom, boom!" Three shells exploded at the gate of Nanyang City, blowing the gate of Nanyang Cheng into pieces!
The soldiers of the Dashun Army on the city wall of Nanyang were horrified, and their morale plummeted!
"Kill" Yang Kun led two thousand Ying Long troops and another 20,000 troops to Nanyang.
In an instant, Li Zicheng's 20,000 troops left behind in Nanyang collapsed, Yang Kun evacuated and occupied Nanyang at the moment before Li Zicheng fled back to Nanyang, cutting off Li Zicheng's back road, if Li Zicheng fled to Nanyang City for unknown reasons, the consequences would be extremely miserable!
