Li Zicheng was already impatient to cross the river in his heart, and when he heard that there were already fifteen ships, he did not have any delay, and immediately ordered to start crossing the river.

Fifteen boats were small fishing boats, and one could only carry twenty people. If these fifteen small fishing boats alone had to transport tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and their belongings, I wonder how long it would take?

Fortunately, Yingshanjian continued to send people to find ships, and I believe that by the second half of the night, thirty ships will be able to be gathered. The only pity is that thirty ships are still far from enough, but for now it can only be done like this.

In order to ensure safety, Yingshanjian took the lead in leading people to try to cross the river to ensure safety. Only when it is really safe will Li Zicheng be allowed to cross the river first.

At this moment, there was silence around the riverbank, there was no trace of the imperial army at all, and everyone was still stable. And the meal has been prepared, and everyone is only concerned with filling their stomachs, and no one cares about crossing the river.

At night, less than 300 meters away from Li Zicheng's station, Chengzuo and Adou lay in ambush in the grass together. With the faint moonlight, he observed Li Zicheng's movements, and by the way, he waited for an opportunity to find an opportunity to assassinate Li Zicheng.

It's a pity that Li Zicheng has always been very vigilant and will not leave the carriage of the Chinese army at all. Adou observed for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "Li Zicheng has been staying in the Chinese army, and we don't have any chance to start at all." ”

Chengzuo obviously agreed with Adou's words, and he asked in a deep voice, "Then what should we do next?" You can't just watch them cross the river and leave, right? ”

Adou suddenly took the bow and arrow on his back, held it in his hand and moved it for a moment, and then said to Cheng Zuo: "Wait until I lean forward to find out, and find an opportunity to shoot Li Zicheng."

Like a tanuki, Adou silently walked through the wilderness at night.

Adou suddenly had a bad premonition, and sure enough, if he wanted to shoot Li Zicheng in the midst of heavy protection, this task would obviously not be easy.

Cheng Zuo watched Adou leave, and after a little hesitation, he immediately discussed with Zhuang Yexiang, and the two muttered for a moment. Cheng Zuo finally sent a letter to inform the Henan side, asking them to take precautions to ensure that some of the rebel troops who crossed the river first would not cause chaos in Henan.

And Cheng Zuo and Zhuang Yexiang were not idle, the two of them acted separately, each leading five hundred subordinates, under the cover of the night, towards Li Zicheng's camp.

Danger was looming over Li Zicheng, but at this moment, he didn't notice it at all. He had been fully preoccupied with the crossing of the river, and the rest of the situation was beyond his consideration.

The army, which had been running for a whole day, was rarely able to rest at this moment and have a full meal to enjoy. The whole army was completely in a state of slackness, and no one was alert to the surrounding situation, which gave Adou and Chengzuo a good opportunity to quietly approach.

Adou quickly circled the rebel camp in the night, and finally locked on the bank of the river to lock on Li Zicheng's figure.

He quietly showed his bow and arrows, waiting for the opportunity to shoot Li Zicheng with one arrow. However, Li Zicheng was completely protected by nearly a thousand guards at the moment, and Adou had no chance to make a move.

For a moment, Adou seemed helpless, but this was not the case.

Cheng Zuo and Zhuang Yexiang suddenly launched a sneak attack on the rebel army from two different directions, and their purpose was very simple, that is, to create chaos and give Ah Zhan a chance to make a move.

In the darkness of the night, the rebels who were suddenly attacked did not know the identity of the enemy who was attacking, let alone how many enemy troops had come to attack. Panic spread throughout the army for the first time, and one by one they were at a loss, not knowing where the enemy was.

The rebel army was mostly composed of poor people or hungry homeless, so the symptoms of night blindness were particularly prominent. Long-term nutritional deficiencies lead to serious night blindness.

The sudden commotion startled Li Zicheng, and he immediately asked what had happened. When he learned that an enemy army was coming, the first thought that came to his mind was not to resist, but to flee immediately.

At this time, the shadow of a boat in the middle of the river was already faintly visible, and Ying Shanjian had already led fifteen boats to send the first batch of soldiers over smoothly.

Li Zicheng immediately ordered that 500 guards be transferred to supervise the army, and the rest of the people, except for ensuring the safety of the riverbank, would follow him across the Yellow River into Henan first.

"It's not that easy to leave." Adou let out a cold snort, and the bow and arrow in his hand had been raised, and the arrow pointed to Li Zicheng's figure, which was illuminated by the torch.

"Whoosh!"

In the darkness, the sharp arrow let out a sharp roar and shot straight towards Li Zicheng.

The sudden movement immediately aroused the vigilance of all the guards!

"Protect the King!"

I don't know who made a loud roar, and I saw more than a dozen guards surrounding Li Zicheng in an instant.

It's a pity that their movements are still a little slower, and the sharp arrow shot by Adou still accurately hit Li Zicheng.

The moment the latter was hit by the arrow, he fell to the ground, and Li Zicheng's left arm was directly pierced by the sharp arrow, and the blood flowed like a pillar.

Fortunately, the arrow did not kill him, and although the injury was not light, there was no fear of his life.

Adou was sure that his arrow had indeed hit Li Zicheng, but he couldn't know Li Zicheng's life and death. All the guards of this meeting have surrounded Li Zicheng tightly and seamlessly, and Adou only saw the chaos for a while, and then lost Li Zicheng's figure.

Estimating that there was no more chance to make a move, Adou resolutely turned and left, and then sent a signal to Chengzuo to tell them to retreat together.

The sudden commotion lasted less than half an hour before calm was restored.

Afterwards, Li Zicheng's subordinates counted the casualties, and there were nearly 2,000 dead and wounded. What makes people angry is that most of the casualties of these 2,000 people were not caused by the enemy who attacked by sneak attack, but by the trampling of their own people when the army was in chaos.

Fortunately, the chaos didn't last long, and the seemingly small number of enemy troops who never showed up didn't make this unwarranted disaster worse.

The fly in the ointment is that their king Chuang was seriously injured, and his life and death are currently uncertain. Because Li Zicheng was carried onto the boat by his guards as soon as possible, he crossed the river directly first.

Adou quickly evacuated, and then after meeting with Chengzuo and them at the agreed place, he rushed back to the previous ferry. There was already a ship waiting for them, and after successfully boarding the ship, they set sail and soon disappeared into the night.

Chengzuo didn't ask Adou until this moment: "Did you succeed?" ”

Adou looked at Cheng Zuo and Zhuang Yexiang who were full of anticipation, he shook his head and said, "What is certain is that I did shoot Li Zicheng, but life and death are unknown." ”
