Tian Jianxiu nodded lightly.

He has followed Li Zicheng for many years, and he can understand the intention with a glance from the other party.

Taking a deep breath, he led a part of the cavalry to forcibly charge at Wu Sangui's handsome banner. Although the speed was not fast, it fully attracted Wu Sangui's attention.

Wu Sangui is also a veteran of a hundred battles, and he knows very well that Li Zicheng wants to use the impact on the Chinese army to make his overall formation chaotic. He immediately ordered his own soldiers to come forward to intercept him.

His own soldiers are equipped with heavy armor, and even the mounts under his crotch are also armored. This means that it is difficult for ordinary knives and guns to inflict substantial damage on it. Even minor injuries did not render these cavalrymen incapacitated.

After Wu Sangui's personal soldiers joined the battle, Tian Jianxiu's advance came to an abrupt halt. Due to the numerical superiority, the cavalry of the Shun army, which was stuck in the "quagmire", gradually found itself in a disadvantageous state of being attacked by the enemy on its back.

Li Zicheng led his guards to rush and kill a few back and forth, but he could not completely break through the iron bucket formation of the Qing army. He knew very well that when the Qing army completely tightened his pockets, it would be impossible for him to break through again.

Li Zicheng glanced back at the women and children in the old camp, and ordered the whole army to break through in his heart.

He once again chose to abandon the old camp, just like when Tongguan was defeated and killed Shangluo.

At this time, the old camp is a drag. Since everyone has to die if they stay, it is better to fight to the death and leave the seeds of hope.

Li Zicheng no longer hesitated, clamped his legs on the horse's belly and roared to chop the horses around him to free up the basic space for impact, which turned the horse's head and rushed forward.

"Keep up with Your Majesty!"

Li Zicheng's guards roared loudly, like a pack of wild wolves following behind the wolf king.

Even if they die standing up, don't beg on their knees!

Wu Sangui frowned, faintly feeling that something was wrong.

Li Zicheng's charge this time was very different from the previous one, with a faint hint of determination.

Wu Sangui did not dare to be careless, and tried his best to shrink the defense.

He firmly believed that although Li Zicheng was fierce, as long as he put up a fence, these hungry wolves would not be able to turn the sky.

This time he will definitely not back down!

Not far away, the Tianzhu Army led by Shang Kexi was stationed on the small post.

It's an artillery squad, to be exact.

Of course, a red-coated cannon weighing several thousand pounds could not be carried up the mountain. However, Shang Kexi still ordered the army to carry some three-pounder cannons copied from the Franco.

These three-pounder guns are very lightweight, weighing only a few hundred pounds, and it is not too laborious to carry around, but they can deal a fatal blow to the enemy at a critical moment.

Like the present.

Shang Kexi has already seen Li Zicheng's thoughts, he wants to abandon the old camp and strive to break through.

People often burst out with amazing energy in desperate situations, Li Zicheng is not a wine bag and rice bag, and this one will fight to the last of his strength.

Although Wu Sangui's feudal soldiers were also very strong, killing Li Zicheng was at most a great achievement for them, and it was completely incomparable with Li Zicheng's appeal to break through the siege and survive.

Shang Kexi felt that Li Zicheng was most likely able to break through Wu Sangui's encirclement and lead his guards to fight a bloody way.

Shang Kexi was not in a hurry to order his troops to act.

He wanted to wait for the moment when Li Zicheng broke through the encirclement of Wu Sangui's troops, and only by seizing that opportunity could the credit be completely his.

If he ordered someone to bombard Li Zicheng now, and accidentally injured Wu Sangui's soldiers, not to mention, the most important thing is that a lot of credit may be shared by Wu Sangui. This is something that Shang Kexi does not want to see.

He wants to monopolize this credit!

......

......

"Hahahaha, Wu Sangui's Guan Ningjun is nothing more than that!"

After a desperate struggle, Li Zicheng led his army to break through successfully.

The armored Guan Ning army did not stop the Shun army, and could only watch the Shun army rush out of the gap.

Wu Sangui hated the root of his teeth, but he was helpless.

If you can't beat it, you can't beat it, and if you can't stop it, you can't stop it.

The skills are not as good as others, and they are helpless.

However, he understood that Li Zicheng couldn't run away at all, and after passing his pass, there was Shang Kexi ambushed on Xiaogang. Those artillery pieces are not vegetarians, and they can definitely bombard the Shun army into slag under a single shelling.

It's a pity that the credit for capturing Li Zicheng alive can't fall into the hands of Wu Sangui, and what can only be carried in front of Azig is a corpse of Li Zicheng.

But even so, it's better than letting Li Zicheng go again.

With Li Zicheng's prestige and strength, if he escapes, it won't take long to raise a large army again.

Let the tiger return to the mountain, and the future will be endless.

......

......

"Look, Li Chuang is here!"

Shang Kexi's pro-soldier Sun He said happily.

Shang Kexi took advantage of the firelight to look intently, and sure enough, he saw a group of cavalry galloping over.

Standing on the hill, he could see everything clearly, and Shang Kexi could even tell that it was Li Zicheng who was at the forefront of the big hat.

He couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Wu Sangui, this waste, really didn't disappoint him, and really failed to stop Li Zicheng.

Since he sent a big gift, Shang Kexi naturally wouldn't be polite.

"Pass on the king's order, prepare to fire the cannon!"

The absolute power of the three-pounder cannon was far inferior to that of the redcoat cannon, and it did not play a role in siege warfare. But the cavalry used against flesh and blood is more than enough.

Shang Kexi did not believe that Li Zicheng would be safe and sound in the face of a round of intensive shelling.

However, the heavy responsibility is on his shoulders, and the artillery under Shang Kexi's command is still a little nervous.

They carefully completed a series of preparations before the cannon was fired, until the moment the gunpowder was ignited, their hearts were pounding.

After all, the use of firearms and artillery is not the strength of the Tianzhu Army, and the Tianyou Army is more proficient in this way than the Tianyou Army of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming.

But things went more smoothly than they expected, and a shot of lead bullets was thrown into the air, and it was smashed straight at the Shun cavalry who broke through the siege and rushed wildly.

The three-pounder cannon imitated by the Qing army used solid lead bullets like the original Furlong cannon, which itself would not explode to form secondary damage, but it was possible to jump to form a ricochet, and its power should not be underestimated.

Especially when firing from the hill, both the angle and speed of the lead bullet cut are extremely perfect.

Li Zicheng, who was riding wildly, was completely unaware of the danger, and a lead bullet whizzed past his mount and smashed into one of the guards.

Li Zicheng clearly saw that the lead bullet penetrated the chest of the guard, leaving a large hole. The guard was so dead that he didn't even have time to scream.

More and more lead bullets fell, and the guards around Li Zicheng fell one by one. Li Zicheng dodged left and right, but was hit by a lead bullet that jumped up twice, and rolled off the horse.

Li Zicheng rolled three times, and when he finally stood up and looked around, he found that there were severed limbs and stumps everywhere.

This death is terrible!

What to do?

The end of the road in Jiugong Mountain was something he never thought of.

Is it really going to die here today?
