Zhang Xianzhong kept whipping the horse's buttocks, just begging the war horse under his crotch to run faster. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He was defeated, and he was defeated too badly. Before the more than 50,000 troops could touch the corners of Li Zhi's soldiers and horses, they were all defeated. Li Zhi's soldiers and horses defeated themselves without even being killed or wounded at all. More than 50,000 rebels were killed, 10,000 were killed, and the remaining 40,000 or so turned into a rout, running wildly in the snow.

Li Zhi's 2,000 cavalry began to chase him, and Zhang Xianzhong knew that if he was caught up by those cavalry with tall horses, he would definitely die.

However, those cavalry will not be able to catch up with Zhang Xianzhong for a while and a half, Zhang Xianzhong is riding a good horse, and his speed and endurance are excellent. I don't know how many times he was chased by the official army, he relied on this BMW to escape. Zuo Liangyu has never caught himself, and Li Zhi must not be able to catch himself. As long as you flee to the mountains to collect the rout, you will have one day to make a comeback.

Zhang Xianzhong doesn't know how many times he has been defeated by the official army, and how many times he has made a comeback. Starting all over again is not a big deal for him.

Zhang Dingguo rode his horse and followed Zhang Xianzhong's horse, and shouted loudly: "Dashuai, where are we fleeing?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong shouted: "Enter the Xing and return to the mountain!" ”

Zhang Dingguo shouted loudly, "drove" to drive the war horse to keep up with Zhang Xianzhong's horse speed, and followed Zhang Xianzhong through the narrow mountain pass.

Flee to the northeast. More than a dozen generals of the Xianjun army rode a good horse from a hundred, chased Zhang Xianzhong and rode together, and gradually threw off the official cavalry behind.

After riding for a mile, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly felt that something was wrong in front of him.

The cavalry that had fled in front of them all turned back from the official road and ran towards the path up the mountain.

Riding to the front, Zhang Xianzhong knew why the rout army didn't move forward. On the official road, a team of 100 men lined up in the middle of the road, and was facing the scattered cavalry with firearms. This team was wearing red military uniforms and full body steel armor, apparently Li Killing God's soldiers. These 100 men were arranged here at some point, and the fleeing cavalry was so frightened that they did not dare to rush forward.

There were several thousand cavalry in the vicinity, and in peacetime, these 100 people would certainly not be able to stop the thousands of cavalry. But by this time, the Xian army had been defeated, the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and none of the cavalry was willing to use their own lives to attack the fire array of the hundreds.

With only a hundred men, the official road was blocked, so that the thousands of cavalry who had been routed could only flee elsewhere.

Zhang Dingguo shouted loudly: "Marshal, there are officers and soldiers in front!" ”

"Donkey Hairball!"

Zhang Xianzhong scolded, looked left and right, and found that the defeated soldiers were all hugging a path up the mountain on the right hand, so he rode his horse and rushed to the path up the mountain. Behind is Li Zhi's cavalry army, and returning the original way is a dead end. At this moment, there is no choice but to take the mountain path and flee with your head down.

More than a dozen leaders of the Xianjun army rode horses to follow Zhang Xianzhong and rode up the mountain.

The mountain road was undulating and the road was narrow, and Zhang Xianzhong walked with great difficulty. He was worried that the cavalry of the officers and soldiers would catch up with the path, and he kept looking behind him as he rode.

Zhang Dingguo shouted: "Dashuai, we are going hard, and Li Killing's cavalry will not be better, they will not be able to catch up with us!" ”

Hearing Yizi's words, Zhang Xianzhong felt a little relieved, and concentrated on riding his horse forward.

After walking two miles of mountain road, there is a fork in the road. Zhang Xianzhong chose the left side of the road that was relatively flat and rode over. Unexpectedly, after walking half a mile on the fork in the road on the left, I saw the rebel cavalry that had collapsed in front of me turn back.

Zhang Dingguo grabbed a cavalryman and asked loudly, "What's going on ahead?" ”

The captured cavalryman cried out with a sad face: "Captain Chi, there are fifty officers and soldiers on the road ahead, and they can't rush over!" ”

Zhang Xianzhong didn't expect that Li Zhi still had soldiers and horses here, as if he had been poured from his head with a bucket of cold water. In distraction, he shouted: "Heaven will destroy me!" ”

Zhang Dingguo shouted loudly: "Boss, let's turn back and take the fork on the right." ”

Since Li Zhi arranged men and horses on the fork on the left, how could the fork on the right be undefended? Zhang Xianzhong knew that the path was also a dead end. But at this moment, there is no choice. People who escape from the road will not think about it so much, and the only way out at present is the fork in the mountain road on the right.

Zhang Xianzhong nodded, and rode his horse back and forth.

Hua Zhang was a company commander in the Election Regiment. He is a native of Fanjiazhuang, and when the general came to Fanjiazhuang in the seventh year of Chongzhen, he was recruited into the selection group. Over the years, after nearly ten battles of all sizes, he has become a company commander.

Under his command, there are two hundred soldiers who can be called the elite selection regiment.

At this time, according to the general's arrangement, he led two hundred soldiers to ambush in the bushes on the right side of this small mountain road, and pointed his rifle at the thieves and horses who had fled. However, the thieves who fled in confusion were not interested, and let them break through the path one by one. They had only one mission, which was to kill Zhang Xianzhong.

After a long time, they saw more than a dozen people rushing over on a tall horse surrounded by a middle-aged man. Behind the comers, there were seven or eight women on horseback. Obviously, this group of people is a high-ranking leader of the army. The two hundred men were immediately highly nervous, and pointed their guns at these knights, waiting for Hua Zhang's order to shoot.

Seeing that Hua Zhang was slow to give an order, a platoon commander climbed to Hua Zhang's side and asked, "Company commander, isn't this Zhang Xianzhong?" ”

Hua Zhang stared at the visitor for a long time, shook his head and said, "It's Luo Rucai who ran away with a woman!" ”

The platoon commander nodded and stepped back. Two hundred people let Luo Ru pass, just waiting for Zhang Xianzhong to come up and send him to death.

A few minutes later, more than a dozen generals of the Xianjun army on tall horses and wearing bright armor appeared on the official road.

Zhang Dingguo looked at the front, and saw that there was no righteous army turning back from the front, and said happily: "Marshal, this road is open, there are no officers and soldiers!" ”

Zhang Xianzhong was also a little excited, and shouted loudly: "Rush! Rush into the mountains, and sooner or later the routs will gather back. When Li Kills God returns to Tianjin, isn't this Ming Dynasty still letting us gallop? ”

The generals who followed Zhang Xianzhong were excited, and the fast horse followed Zhang Xianzhong and rushed forward.

After walking for a mile, there was a thick bush on the side of the narrow mountain road ahead. Zhang Dingguo looked at the bushes with his eyes, but he felt that it was wrong. Suddenly, his back was cold, and he felt like his whole body had fallen into an ice cave.

"Handsome! There is an ambush ahead! ”

Before Zhang Dingguo's words fell, the officers and soldiers hiding in the bushes opened fire.

Only a few crackling gunshots were heard, and Zhang Xianzhong, who was riding on the horse, suddenly flew out of a few pillars of blood, he covered the wound with his hand, and fell off the horse without strength.

"Dashuai!"

Zhang Dingguo's eyes suddenly became blood-red, he rolled off the horse, and grabbed Zhang Xianzhong, who was shot.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at the large and small wounds on his body, and said slowly: "My son, I can't do it anymore." You quickly escape from the woods, and when Li Killing God returns to the north, he will be retracted... The rout... Reinvigorate... Raise the flag again..."

Halfway through his words, Zhang Xianzhong fell to his head in a pool of blood.

Zhang Dingguo frantically grabbed his father-in-law's shoulders and shouted loudly with all his strength: "Handsome! (To be continued.) )
