The wilderness is silent, the sun is shining, and although it has been autumn for many days, the weather is still hot. The heat wave is blowing in the face, and the wind is mixed with the dust in the sky, which makes people feel uncomfortable when it blows on people's bodies.

Li Zicheng's carriage was in the Chinese army, and as the army slowly moved forward, it was obviously much more comfortable in the carriage than the soldiers on horseback or walking. But Li Zicheng was impetuous, and the weather was so hot that he couldn't calm down at all.

Lifting the curtain, he saw that his henchman would ride a horse next to the carriage, and Yingshanjian saw that Li Zicheng was impetuous, and immediately said: "Chuang Wang ......"

Li Zicheng looked at the sky and said, "Where are you now, and when will you arrive in Shaanxi?" ”

Yingshanjian replied: "King Chuang, there are still five days away from Shaanxi, and I haven't arrived at Pingyang Mansion yet." ”

"Hmm!"

Li Zicheng snorted, then shrank his head back into the carriage, and it was even hotter outside, which was boring. Although it was hot and humid inside, at least it didn't have to be blown by the wind, which carried a lot of dust.

The army that was slowly advancing suddenly stopped completely, and Yingshanjian suddenly frowned, raised his eyes to look at the front army, and saw a fast horse galloping towards him.

"Report ......"

"What happened, and why did it stop all of a sudden?" Yingshanjian immediately drank it cold.

"Report to the general, there is an unknown army two miles ahead." The cavalrymen had not yet arrived, but they were already shouting a prayer.

"Find out the situation immediately and report it later."

After Ying Shanjian gave the order, he turned to Li Zicheng in the carriage and said, "King Chuang, there is an unknown enemy army ahead." ”

Li Zicheng's head appeared at the window again: "Who is the force?" How many soldiers and horses are there? ”

Ying Shanjian shook his head and said, "It hasn't been found out yet. ”

Li Zicheng hesitated for a moment, and said: "Order to set up a defensive battle formation, send out cavalry to reconnoitre, and if there is anything abnormal, come to report immediately." ”

Ying Shan responded in a loud voice, and then went to arrange it himself.

In a short time, tens of thousands of troops began to form formations, and all the cavalry was dispatched and began to patrol around the army.

A moment later, the scout horse that had come to report came galloping again: "Report ......"

"Did you find out?" Ying Shanjian saw that the Tanma was coming, and immediately asked.

"General Qiyu, the army that appeared in front of you is the imperial army."

"Imperial Army...... How many centaurs are there? "At the moment, it is still in Shanxi, and it is not surprising to encounter the imperial army.

"General, depending on the situation, the imperial army will not be less than 30,000." The scout hesitated for a moment before replying.

"Thirty thousand? How can it be! Ying Shanjian immediately exclaimed.

"What the hell is going on?" Li Zicheng also looked out of the window at this time and asked Ying Shanjian.

"King Chuang, there is a court army in front, there are more than 30,000 people, and now they are slowly coming towards us." Yingshanjian immediately replied.

"Did they spot us?" Li Zicheng pondered for a moment.

"King Qi, I didn't see the imperial army notice us." The scout replied.

"Bypass them." After Li Zicheng finished speaking, he returned to the carriage.

Ying Shanjian and the scouts were stunned for a moment, and then they followed Li Zicheng's orders to act.

In order to bypass the imperial army in front of them, the rebel army must change its route, but the army was about to set off, but there were scouts coming and going, saying that they had found the imperial army in front again.

In desperation, the rebel army moved in another direction again, but after walking two miles, they found traces of the imperial army again.

At this moment, everyone immediately felt bad, and the road to Pingyang Mansion seemed to have been blocked by the imperial army. And Li Zicheng and the others now understand that these imperial army troops they suddenly encountered came from the border pass.

"We've got nowhere to go around King Chuang, why don't we just fight them?" Ying Shanjian returned to the carriage and spoke to Li Zicheng.

"No, judging from the number of court troops found, it is close to 100,000, and we don't have the slightest chance of winning against them." Li Zicheng shook his head in denial.

"How's that to be?" Yingshan tilted his head and didn't know what to do.

Li Zicheng fell into deep thought and did not speak for a long time. The current situation is obviously extremely unfavorable for him, and it is obviously inappropriate to rush forward, so it seems that the only way to return is in front of him.

But if you go back, you will also not be able to avoid these imperial troops, which will only put the rebel army in a more unfavorable situation.

After some deep thought, Li Zicheng suddenly thought of a way: "We will immediately rush to the Yellow River, Shanjian, you now immediately lead a thousand men and horses to the Yellow River to find any available boats, and we will cross the Yellow River and enter Henan." ”

Ying Shanjian suddenly smiled and said: "King Chuang is smart, his subordinates will do it." ”

After Li Zicheng saw Yingshanjian and his people leave, he himself led the whole army and began to slowly advance towards the banks of the Yellow River.

At this time, on the Yellow River, there are three big ships moving forward quickly, and the big flags on the boats are written with big Mao characters.

The three big ships docked a few miles away from Li Zicheng's army, and Chengzuo, Zhuang Yexiang and Adou were the first to disembark. Then there were a thousand elite soldiers who came with them to assassinate Li Zicheng.

There were already a few fast horses waiting on the shore, and when they saw Chengzuo and them coming ashore, they immediately came to report. They have been hiding here to find out Li Zicheng's movements.

"General!" Several people came to Chengzuo's front and saluted with fists.

Cheng Zuo nodded, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard these days, let's go down and rest for a while, and then we will set off immediately after we finish reorganizing the army." ”

Several people responded in unison: "General Xie! ”

After seeing a few people leave, Chengzuo looked at Adou again, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Adou is really sorry not ......to go to this experience with Brother Adou to accompany us."

Adou's face immediately tightened, and he said unhappily: "Brother Chengzuo, don't you still treat me as a brother?" ”

Seeing that Adou seemed to be really angry, Cheng Zuo smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly accompanied him: "Brother, don't misunderstand, it's just that this matter has nothing to do with you, but now I want you to accompany me to come here on an adventure, and the eldest brother has never been happy in his heart." ”

Adou smiled and said: "What's so good about this, if the eldest brother feels that he owes something in his heart, it's a big deal that you owe me a favor this time." ”

Cheng Zuo immediately laughed and said: "Then it's a word, if the brother has any needs in the future, just say it, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire!" ”

Adou also laughed heroically, and he accepted it in one bite.

A moment later, all the people on board had already come ashore, and the three large ships also slowly returned from the shore.

Cheng Zuo, Zhuang Yexiang, and Adou quickly rushed to the location of Li Zicheng's army under the leadership of several spies who were ambushed here early in the morning to monitor Li Zicheng.

At the same time, several other imperial armies also discovered the traces of Li Zicheng's army one after another and began to pursue them behind.

In an instant, Li Zicheng fell into a heavy encirclement, if he could not cross the Yellow River quickly, this time it would definitely be more auspicious.
