Chapter 730: Death Battle
A seemingly dead-end battle ended like this, looking at the hundreds of people who were being led by Chunlan's women's army under the mountains behind him, and were getting farther and farther away, Lu Shi couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The knot of death was untied, the people were protected, and there were no more scruples on this battlefield, and what remained was a life-and-death battle between men and warriors.
When he turned around, he took a deep breath and puffed up his chest, at this time, he would face Li Zicheng, who had been in the late Ming Dynasty for more than ten years and became a generation of emperors.
"Hello." As soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Shi lightly greeted Li Zicheng, who was fifty steps away from him, and that look made Li Zicheng feel that he and Lu Shi had known each other for a long time, and they really understood and intersected.
So, Lu Shi's faint greeting made Li Zicheng very unexpected, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
According to his thoughts, he drove the people to persecute Lu Shi, and now that he has easily cracked this dead end, it should be a sneering or righteous accusation to himself, but it should not be such a faint greeting at all.
"What else do we have to say, is there anything else we need to say?" Li Zicheng squinted his eyes, clenched the flower horse sword on his waist and asked, and there was no hatred in his tone before the imminent fight for life and death, but in Li Zicheng's eyes, it was full of resentment.
Yes, it is resentful, I have worked hard for several years, carefully planned, step by step to today, seeing that as long as I am in this Shangluo, I can endure for half a month, at that time, I can take a well-trained army of 100,000 to fight out of the mountains, like a tiger, pounce on the new world in the future, and achieve a dream in my heart.
However, just when all this was about to be realized, Lu Shiheng stepped in, and this kick instantly crushed his years of painstaking accumulation and construction, making everything a yellow sorghum. Therefore, how can you not make him extremely resentful of this Lu Shi?
Lu Shi saw Li Zicheng's resentful eyes, but what could he do? only shook his head lightly and smiled bitterly, and then spoke: "Actually, there is no need for brothers to kill each other between you and me, it's just-"
Li Zicheng immediately interrupted Lu Shi's words: "Don't say anything to me about fratricidal warfare, and don't tell me about the great truth of your city gate declaration, say a thousand ways and ten thousand, I only have resentment, resentment against this thief, why gave birth to me, but didn't let me live, why did I struggle to survive, but I met you, is this thief God, just so dead, really won't let me live?" Raising his face, his eyes stared closely at the vast and empty sky, as if there was really a face of heaven on it, expressionless on the front, or looking at him with a sarcastic face, looking at the three thousand old brothers behind him who were only left, and had not yet dispersed, looking at the vast earth, looking at this trillions of people.
"Don't look at it, I said, in this world, there is no savior, and there is no immortal emperor, and no one can blame anyone for everything now." Lu Shi said lightly, his tone stopped, and he continued to say to Li Zicheng, who did not bow his head: "Actually, we can still talk." ”
Hearing Lu Shi's words, Li Zicheng slowly lowered his raised head, and looked at Lu Shi coldly, for a long time, Lu Shi just looked at him like that, and the two of them were on the military array of tens of thousands of troops, silent, looking at each other.
After a long time, Li Zicheng shook his head lightly, but with a firm face: "Impossible, there is only one battle left between you and me, and there is no way out." ”
Lu Shi sighed, he knew that the idea between him was close to wishful thinking and naivety for Li Zicheng, but even if he knew such an ending, he wanted to try it in his heart, for his brother behind him, and for Li Zicheng, the man who was destined to spill blood.
Turning the black horse, Li Zicheng straightened his back, faced his own team, which was completely different from the crowd at the beginning, and asked loudly: "Brothers, we have come to this day, and we can't complain about it, now I ask everyone, is it to surrender, or to fight to the death?" ”
Now, following Li Zicheng, all of them are men who have followed him from Shaanxi to today, brothers, and those who joined later, coerced, have just turned their backs on them and thrown themselves into Lu Shi's camp, and now, in the hearts of these three thousand real descendants, Li Zicheng is the sky, is their everything, and what Li Zicheng does is their will.
So, three thousand men raised all kinds of swords together and shouted: "Fight to the death, fight to the death." ”
Li Zicheng nodded with satisfaction, turned the war horse back again, and faced Lu Shi, faintly, but proudly: "Did you see it?" Did you hear that? That's my answer. ”
Lu Shi shook his head helplessly, and could only nod: "Okay, let's fight." ”
The war drums sounded, the horn of the charge sounded, and in the face of the 10,000 well-equipped army of Lu Shi, the Li Zicheng brothers, who were not in good armor and mixed weapons, swarmed up.
These 3,000 brothers, all of whom were old members of the Shaanxi uprising who followed Li Zicheng at the beginning, are all elites who have experienced a hundred battles and fought in countless blood, fire and battles.
However, personal bravery, in front of thousands of troops, is a moth, is an ant, especially in front of a well-equipped army like Lu Shi with advanced battle formations, even more so.
However, they did not flinch, they still had red eyes, urged the war horses, and killed them without hesitation.
Lu Shi retreated into his battle formation, and with Da Lang's order, the whole army attacked and killed those desperate poles.
The cavalry hedge, the distance of two hundred paces, is just a matter of an eye. Da Lang's cavalry only had time to fire their crossbows once, and the two sides collided together.
But this time, with tens of thousands of sharp arrows on the bow and crossbow, Li Zicheng's cavalry lay down hundreds of men and horses, but these sacrifices did not make Li Zicheng's cavalry hesitate at all, and still rushed up desperately, and for a time the cavalry on both sides slashed together.
In this hedging, one side is well-equipped and well-trained, and the other side is in a desperate fight, which is really a killing sound, blood splashing, war horses whistling, and fierce soldiers galloping back and forth to fight to the death.
Liu Zhongmin was wearing thick armor, rushing to the front, facing the overwhelming rain of arrows of the Dalang cavalry, his face was fearless, his double knives were flying, and he dialed the arrows in front of him, but his body instantly became a hedgehog, fortunately, the armor was thick and well-made, and those short arrows were not deep into the flesh, which did not cause much damage to this peerless general, but inspired his ferocity, and the tiger roared again and again, and rushed into the enemy army in a blink of an eye.
As soon as he entered the battle, Liu Zhongmin's double knives flew and immediately slashed and killed a Lu Shi cavalry who was blocking in front of him, but the war horse did not pause at all, but rushed in directly, his target was not these small soldiers, but a guy in a fiery red robe with the most gold hoops on his arms - Da Lang.
He knew that at this time, he had few people, and he had to disrupt the command and deployment of the enemy's army, and capture the thief first to capture the king, he knew this truth best, as long as he killed the one who looked at the battle robe was the highest position, then, the Lu Shi cavalry who lost the unified command would be chaotic.
At this time of life and death, just a moment of chaos is enough to allow oneself to escape and ascend to heaven. And as long as he escapes, with the ability of Li Zicheng, the king of Da Chuang, there will definitely be hope for a comeback.
Liu Zhongmin's goal was achieved, he abandoned the ordinary cavalry along the way, he rushed to his target, waved his knife and shouted: "Die." "A knife down.
Da Lang had already seen him, and when he saw this enemy general who was dressed in fine armor and full of beard, like a fierce Zhang Fei, he also understood his intentions, so Da Lang raised his saber, snorted lightly in his nose, and went straight to meet him.
The two hedged, met in a blink of an eye, the big knife and the steel saber collided, sparks splashed, after a sore creak, the two horses staggered, the two sides had no results, it can be described as evenly matched.
Liu Zhongmin has a strong fighting spirit, and in his nature, finding an opponent is the greatest happiness in life. So he screamed, turned over and returned to his horse, to fight with Da Lang again, firstly, to meet the opponent in chess, the battle is meaningful, and secondly, to use his own strength to kill the commander of this big array, which will open a way for his brother to live.
Liu Zhongmin is confident that he killed the gorgeously dressed kid, and he is confident that he will open a way for his brother to live.
However, when Liu Zhongmin circled the horse and turned around, what he saw was that the thief rushed directly to his brother who was rolling over, and he didn't have the slightest intention of trapping the horse and fighting with him again.
was stunned, which really made Liu Zhongmin at a loss.
How? A general, why did he flee without a fight? Doesn't he know that generals against generals, soldiers against soldiers? Isn't it true that as a general, you don't know that a life-and-death battle is an honor?
However, the richly dressed thief rushed directly to his ranks, and under the gorgeous saber, his brothers fell off their horses one after another.
"Come back and fight me to the death." Liu Zhongmin roared angrily, shaking the world again.
"I'm coming—" A voice rang in my ears.
Turning his head sharply, Liu Zhongmin saw a flaming red robe and a beautiful saber, but it was definitely just an ordinary thief's subordinate Lu Shi's subordinate replied to himself.
It is tolerable or intolerable, this is contempt, absolute contempt.
So, Liu Zhongmin waved his knife disdainfully and slashed it, in his opinion, his invincible sword in a hundred battles would result in his life.
The thief bent down and flashed, and then, his saber slashed under Liu Zhongmin's ribs—the sound of sparks and tooth sore sounded, it was the sound of the saber cutting through his own armor.
Fortunately, his armor is strong, and this knife only scratches off a few pages of armor.
However, this little thief flashed by, and then didn't look back, and before Liu Zhongmin could angrily invite the battle, another unknown thief with the same name shouted excitedly again, "I'm coming-" again, and it was the same angle, the same speed, and the same shameless knife. So, when Liu Zhongmin yelled, his ribs were cold - the battle armor was broken.
When Liu Zhongmin was angry and invited to fight, another thief rushed in, and when Liu Zhongmin's big knife cut off his head, there was also a sharp pain under the ribs of the battle armor, and before he could curse those cowards, another saber completely cut Liu Zhongmin's body in half like a poisonous snake.
A generation of fierce generals died inexplicably in the hands of a group of thieves, unwilling, but more suddenly, Liu Zhongmin rolled into the dust.
