The fire caused by the arson rocket was very fierce, and although the barracks were also prepared to extinguish the fire, it was still a drop in the bucket in the face of so many fire points. And what's worse is that it was not only tents, vehicles, etc., but even people and horses that caught fire. Some of the fire fell on people, and on horses, and it also burned. The men and horses with the inextinguishable flames all over their bodies collided and set things on fire. The Shun army was chased for a day, and they were quite afraid of the Ming army that followed behind, and the organization was already limited, so it was naturally a mess when they suddenly encountered such a situation. Although Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin wasted a lot of effort to put them back in order, they only wasted their efforts.

Li Zicheng looked at Liu Zongmin, and under the firelight, he saw that Liu Zongmin's face was distorted. Li Zicheng shook his head and was about to speak, but he heard a burst of gunshots and shouts in the distance, and all kinds of sounds around him were noisy, and Li Zicheng couldn't hear what it was. However, Li Zicheng immediately understood that it was the enemy army who had killed him. If the enemy army does not take the opportunity to kill after successfully lighting this fire, it will be abnormal.

"Your Majesty, it must be the Ming Army." Liu Zongmin said, "I'll take someone to ......"

"Lao Liu." Li Zicheng came up and grabbed the reins of his horse, "Old Liu, don't go, it's useless." The battle has been lost. ”

"Your Majesty, it's not loud over there, there shouldn't be much ......," Liu Zongmin said anxiously.

"Even if there aren't many people, even if you fight them back, wait until dawn tomorrow......" Li Zicheng pointed to the chaotic military camp around him with a horsewhip, as well as the earth-colored guards who followed them, and then said with a wry smile, "Just like us, do we still need to fight tomorrow?" ”

"Then, what do you mean, Your Majesty......" Liu Zongmin seemed to think of something.

"Let's go, let's go now. If you wait until dawn, you won't be able to leave. Li Zicheng said suddenly.

"Huh?" Liu Zongmin seemed taken aback, "But the emperor, so many soldiers, and so many ...... ...... all? ”

"Old Liu......" Li Zicheng said, "We have sent a lot of people and things back." Can we really bring these people back these things now? ”

Li Zicheng saw that Liu Zongmin seemed to be reluctant, and said again: "Old Liu, how many times have the two of us crawled out of the pile of dead people?" Think about how many years ago, there were only a few of us? At that time, we were chased by the official army and fled in all directions, until we ran into Shangluo Mountain, and almost starved to death inside. But it's only been a few years, and we're in Beijing......"

"It's like a dream." Liu Zongmin said suddenly.

"Lao Liu! It's not a dream. Obviously, Liu Zongmin's words are not what Li Zicheng wants to hear, "Lao Liu, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and the key is to be able to afford to lose." What's so scary about losing? We've had times when we've lost worse before, haven't we made a comeback? We admit defeat today, no matter how much we lose, as long as our brothers are still there, can we be even worse than back then? We all survived back then, but what are we afraid of now? ”

Listening to Li Zicheng's words, Liu Zongmin smiled, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to say that these people really can't compare to you." What you're saying is that I'm confused. Though there is an abundance of gold and silver, they are not brought with them in life or in death. Old ...... Lao Liu, when I knocked these things out of those dog officials, I laughed at them, saying that they tried their best to make money, so that their court had no money to raise soldiers, and now they can't even save their lives, but the money they got is not cheaper for us? Now, the minister almost made the same mistake of asking for money and not dying. Your Majesty, you're right, this battle can't be fought anyway. Tonight...... Tomorrow their army will press up, and we will finish it too. It's better to leave overnight......"

……

Zhu Hongjian led dozens of his men to rush around, shooting people with shotguns or stabbing them with bayonets. The Shun army was in a mess, and most of the Shun troops would only flee when they saw them, and some even ran in the wrong direction and ran into the fire by themselves. When the bullets in the gun were empty, the soldiers all stopped to load the bullets, and this was when Zhu Hongjian was the weakest, but most of the surrounding Shun troops only regarded this as an opportunity to escape smoothly, and no one seized this opportunity to kill them at all. Later, Zhu Hongjian found that as long as he rushed over with him, even if he didn't shoot, those Shun troops would only run around and hide. He didn't reload at all, but chased and stabbed people with bayonets. was in a hurry, but heard a burst of exclamations from there. Zhu Hongjian listened sideways, as if he was shouting "The emperor has run away" or something, and he couldn't hear it very clearly. But the sound grew louder and louder, and it became more and more chaotic. More people fled from Zhu Hongjian's eyes.

Zhu Hongjian had an idea and shouted: "Li Zicheng is dead!" Li Zicheng is dead! The soldiers behind him also shouted, and the Shun army was even more chaotic, and most of the Shun army could not control much, so they all opened the camp gate and ran away into the wilderness outside.

"Company commander, what are we doing now?" Someone asked.

Zhu Hongjian wiped the sweat on his head and said, "How does Lao Tzu know?" It's a mess! Take a breath first, nod around, and see if there are fewer people. If not, we'll go to the Chinese army. ”

Zhu Hongjian said that the Chinese army was in his mouth, but in this barracks, where the Chinese army was, in fact, he couldn't figure it out. I could only break indiscriminately, and I caught a Shun army on the road, but I didn't want that Shun army to be a fool, I couldn't tell the direction the same, and after a few turns, I almost took Zhu Hongjian and them to the fire. I finally found the right direction and looked for it, but I saw a large group of people surrounding there, greeting each other with knives, and it seemed that there was infighting.

"What's going on?" Zhu Hongjian was taken aback.

"Company commander, you see they're all grabbing things!" A soldier said.

Zhu Hongjian took a closer look, but saw that there were indeed many soldiers of the Shun army carrying or carrying burdens in their hands, and other people often chased after such people and cut them. One of the Shun soldiers was cut down to the ground, and the burden was scattered, but it was full of white silver.

"This must be the thief in a hurry, he didn't have time to bring the silver, these people are robbing the silver!" Zhu Hongjian suddenly understood. When Li Chuang went out of the capital, he brought a large amount of silver, but now he mostly abandoned the army and left, there were too many silvers, so he naturally couldn't bring them, so he left them here. Then the soldiers of the Shun army came up and robbed them.

"! All this money is ours! Can't let them snatch it away! Zhu Hongjian gritted his teeth and said.
