Chapter 400: Shangluo Mountain Ambush

A few years ago, Li Zicheng went out of Luoshan, entered Henan, and beat Zhongzhou to pieces.

An army of nearly one million destroyed the original social structure of Henan, and the vassal kings and landlords and gentry were swept away, which had the opportunity to change the social status quo and end the suffering of the common people, but Li Zicheng did not fulfill his promise of "free grain in all fields".

The Shun army broke the old system and destroyed social stability, but did not establish a new system, only destroyed, did not build, and did not even fulfill half of the promises made, but instead killed millions of living beings and twisted the situation in Henan into smithereens.

Not only did the people of Zhongzhou live no better than before, but their families were ruined, and they were even more miserable than before, which was tantamount to being fooled and lame by Li Zicheng.

If Li Zicheng fulfills his promise, even if it is only a small half, then he will be regarded as a great hero, but judging from the results, not only has he not changed the lives of the people for the better, but has become worse, then he is undoubtedly a thief in nature.

A few years ago, when Li Zicheng went out to Luoshan, the people cheered and were cited as a savior.

Today, Guisun went out to Shangluo again, and wanted to harm us in Henan, and the only thing that greeted him was bows and arrows, knives and guns.

The veterans of the Wei Wu army were mainly from Henan, and they were mainly in the eastern Henan region, which was most severely harmed by the Shun army.

On the top of the mountain on both sides, the soldiers of all departments watched fiercely at the Shun army marching down the mountain.

"Master Hou, something is not quite right! His Majesty led the army into Shangzhou, why didn't Yuan Shizhong react? During the march, Wu Ruyi, the Taiping Bo, hit the horse and came to Zhang Nai's side, and suddenly said.

Zhang Nai was slightly stunned, but then said with a smile, "Your Majesty wanted to kill Yuan Shizhong before, and let him run away before appointing him as the guard of Shangzhou." When the cowards of Xiao Yuan's camp saw His Majesty leading the army over, they were afraid that they would be frightened, and they would probably shrink into the city! ”

Wu Ruyi still had some doubts in his heart, but Yuan Shizhong had thousands of people, and there was no threat to them, and he couldn't make any waves, so he didn't mention this stubble, but said with a smile: "Your Majesty's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain is really clever!" Gao Yihuan, this kid, is afraid that he has already gone to Luoyang now, and it will be easy for us to take Nanyang! ”

Zhang Nai still felt a little sad about the withdrawal of the Dashun army from Guanzhong, but now the dilapidated Guanzhong has nothing to be nostalgic for, he also smiled when he thought of the rich south and the rookie-like Ming army, "Frankly speaking, I still appreciate Gao Yihuan's kid land!" You see that in the past few years, he has built such a large territory alone, and he is indeed a talent. It's just a pity that he actually betrayed His Majesty, then he is looking for death. This time we entered Nanyang, and all the income from his business over the years will belong to us! ”

Wu Ruyi said with a smile: "In recent months, Gao Yihuan has extorted a lot of money from our Dashun. He marched to fight, the silver should not be taken away, it is estimated that they will be left in Nanyang, Hou Ye is the vanguard of the army this time, but he has to take back all these belongings! ”

"That's how wise His Majesty is." Zhang Nai exclaimed, and then showed a trace of cruelty on his face, "Gao Yihuan is too tender after all!" ”

While the two were talking, the vanguard soldiers had entered a valley, and tens of thousands of horses, with their feet on thin snow, marched with their heads bowed, but there was not a single beast cry on either side.

At this moment, there was a sudden "bang" of artillery bombing in front of them, and the marching soldiers and soldiers raised their heads alertly and looked around.

Zhang Nai's brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but shout angrily, "What's the matter?" ”

He looked up and suddenly saw several black objects on the top of the mountain, falling with firelight, and instantly changing color, "Not good! Thunder! ”

The soldiers on the road were immediately frightened and fled to both sides, but it was too late.

With a few explosions, the soldiers and soldiers on the road were blown away by the explosion, and tens of thousands of horses and horses were instantly thrown into chaos.

Before the soldiers could react, rows of musketeers on both sides opened fire in unison, and the mountain was filled with gunsmoke and projectiles rained down.

The frightened Shun army was torn through their armor by the projectiles that were shot, and the projectiles shot into their bodies, and the soldiers shook one by one like chaff, and the pain in their hearts made them let out a terrible wail.

Zhang Nai reined in the frightened war horse, his face was full of horror, such a strong firepower was definitely not Xiao Yuanying's cowardice!

Wu Ruyi was frightened, his eyes bulging, "Where did this ambush come from?" ”

At this time, on the slopes on both sides, countless figures had already emerged, and they were orderly releasing their guns and throwing earth-shattering thunderbolts down.

A big banner suddenly appeared on a mountain, Gao Yihuan stood under the banner with a sword in armor, drew out a war knife, and pointed down, there was a loud roar, "Kill!" ”

"Master Hou, look at it!" Wu Ruyi's face suddenly changed drastically, full of consternation.

Zhang Nai controlled the restless war horse, looked in the direction he pointed, and happened to see Gao Yihuan's big banner, so shocked that his eyes almost fell to the ground, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Gao Yihuan?" Zhang Nai exclaimed, suddenly pulled the reins of the horse, and immediately shouted, "Quick, go back~"

The Shun army on the road had long been attacked by firecrackers and earth-shattering thunder, and they were in chaos, and the soldiers panicked and the roads were congested.

At this time, Gao Yihuan gave an order, and the Wei Wu soldiers on both sides jumped up, and the melee killer team, holding swords and shields, stabbed with spears, and rushed down the hillside with the momentum of eagles fighting rabbits.

Shangzhou is located in the southeast of Guandong, the southern slope of the Qinling Mountains, with many mountains and few lands, and is a relatively barren area in Guanzhong.

At this time, Shangzhou City, with a population of less than 10,000, had been occupied by hundreds of thousands of Shun troops, and the city was surrounded by the camp tents of the Shun army, and tens of thousands of Shun troops were also crowded into the city.

As far as the eye can see, there are white tents everywhere outside the city, densely packed with Shun soldiers, bowing their heads and walking through the camp, which is difficult to count.

At this time, in the hall of the Shangzhou Mansion, the Shun soldiers set up a brazier, the flames flickered in the basin, and a large group of Shun generals sat around the brazier, discussing the military situation.

Although he gave up Xi'an, Li Zicheng's spirit was very good.

After all, he was once beaten to only eighteen horsemen, and he was still able to make a comeback, and now he still has hundreds of thousands of troops, and Li Zicheng's heart is still full of ambition.

At this time, he sat in the middle hall and said: "I have dominated the world for many years, and there are few opponents. The only person in the south who can stop me from going south is Gao Yihuan, and now he has been led to northern Henan by my tricks, so no one can stop me from going south. ”

Li Zicheng said to the generals, but also to cheer himself up, "Jiangnan has enough money and food, but there are no elite soldiers to protect it, and it is easy for me to take it." You don't have to give up Guanzhong, and feel a pity, after I take Huguang and Jiangnan, the wealth and beauty are at your disposal! ”

Li Zicheng made a promise to the generals that he wanted to calm the army's heart, but Li Guo said a little melancholy: "Your Majesty, Wu Sangui and Azig are following behind us, we only flee without fighting, even if we enter Huguang and Jiangnan, I am afraid that it will be difficult to gain a firm foothold!" ”

These words made the generals in the hall silent for a while, Li Zicheng frowned, and his face showed an unhappy look, "Hmph! The population of Dongyu is only a few hundred thousand, and at most they can eat the north, but it is impossible to eat the world. They followed over, that is, to grab it once, and when they had grabbed enough money and food, they would naturally return north. When the time comes, I will be able to use the wealth of Jiangnan to regroup. Jiangnan has money and food, but there are no strong soldiers, and when the army arrives, it is not impossible to integrate Jiangnan, learn from the old Zhu family's Northern Expedition, and retake the country! ”

As he was talking, a rush of footsteps came in from outside, and then the door of the house was pushed open, and the cold wind poured in, blowing the flames flickering, and at the same time attracting the attention of everyone in the hall, and they all turned their heads to look, and saw a general of the Shun army, lying in front of the door.

"What's going on?" Everyone was shocked!
