Chapter 84: The Death of Zhang Xianzhong (Page 1/1)

The soldiers of the Praetorian Guard hurriedly picked up Zhang Xianzhong, protected him in the middle, and made a defensive gesture to look at the place where the voice came from.

But the person who spoke was a man in a strange gray military uniform who came out of the woods, who had leggings on his feet, a cowhide belt around his waist, a pistol in his hand, and a large-brimmed hat on his head, with an indifferent expression and a mocking look in his eyes.

Seeing this person, how could everyone not know the identity of this person, it was obvious that he was an official of the imperial court, and a few people immediately swung their knives to kill this person.

But the man did not move, his pistol was raised, and after a few thuds, all the Praetorian Guard soldiers who had killed him fell to the ground.

Someone secretly shot an arrow at him, but before he could draw his bow, he suddenly fell to the ground, and then he heard a gunshot from the surrounding woods.

The sound of the gunfire was equivalent to an order to attack, and the bullets were constantly fired from the surrounding woods, and the Praetorian Guards, armed with cold weapons, were powerless to fight back.

In less than a moment, in addition to Zhang Xianzhong, the living creatures standing in the field were left with the war horses they rode when they came.

"Zhang Xianzhong, you are full of crimes, and now that you are dying, you should be arrested." The officer with the pistol approached Zhang Xianzhong and said coldly.

Zhang Xianzhong looked around at a group of officers and soldiers who slowly walked out of the woods, and the muzzles of the black holes in everyone's hands were pointed at him, knowing that even if he suddenly gave birth to wings, it would be difficult to escape, but he did not have the previous panic and became calm and calm.

"Did Li Datou also die in your hands?" Zhang Xianzhong suddenly asked.

The Wehrmacht officer didn't know who Li Datou was, but after a pause, he understood that he should be talking about Li Zicheng, and snorted coldly: "Li Zicheng betrayed his relatives like you and was killed by his subordinates. It's useless to talk too much, just grab it. ”

Zhang Xianzhong ignored him, suddenly looked up in the direction where Xi'an City was located and shouted: "Li Datou, Lao Tzu has been compared with you for a lifetime, you became famous earlier than me, and became the emperor earlier than me, but you are also dead than Lao Tzu." Hahahaha, Lao Tzu finally has one thing better than you. You wait, Lao Tzu will come to the underworld to find you, let's continue to compete in the underworld to see who can pull the king of Hades from the throne first. ”

After speaking, his left hand suddenly pulled out the arrow stuck in his right chest. The barbed arrow cluster brought out a large amount of flesh and blood, and the blood spurted like a fountain, and Zhang Xianzhong fell to the ground with a heavy laugh, his eyes still wide open.

A Wehrmacht soldier walked up to Zhang Xianzhong and checked his snort, then reported to the officer: "Battalion commander, he is dead. ”

The battalion commander nodded and said, "Give them a mending knife, and bring back Zhang Xianzhong's body." All the living horses were brought back. ”

One soldier asked, "Battalion commander, what about the corpses of these people?" ”

The battalion commander glanced at the corpses and said, "Keep it, God will deal with it." A drink and a peck, there is cause and effect. They killed so many people, killing ten rooms and nine empty rooms in Shuzhou, causing the tiger and wolf to become a disaster, and in the end they themselves became the food in the mouth of the tiger and wolf, which may be called retribution. ”

The soldiers listened thoughtfully, and began to mend the corpses and clean up the battlefield.

A moment later, they rushed to Jinguan City with Zhang Xianzhong's body and loot.

In fact, before the so-called decisive battle with Zhang Xianzhong began, Di Qing sent a small group of troops to set up an ambush near the roads around the battlefield with the battalion as a unit, originally to intercept those fleeing routs, but he did not expect to encounter Zhang Xianzhong and his party who had fled here, so that the officers and soldiers of this battalion made great contributions.

At this time, the battlefield had already calmed down, and nearly seventy or eighty thousand captured soldiers of the Great Western Army were all squatting on the ground, their hands tied by their belts, hanging their heads, guarded by Li Dingguo's people and those sent by Sun Kewang.

Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang surrendered meritoriously, so Di Qing made an exception and allowed them to temporarily continue to command their original subordinates, which made them overjoyed and even more grateful.

The soldiers under the two were also even more ecstatic, looking at the corpses of those who died and those prisoners, they all secretly said that if it wasn't for their own generals who judged the situation and abandoned the darkness in time, then their own family must be one of those people.

In this state of mind, they did their best to guard those captives, and the slightest movement of the captives was a fat beating, and the angry captives scolded the white-eyed wolf turtle son.

Di Qing left a part of the officers and troops outside the city to maintain order, clean up the battlefield, and then lead the main force to process.

Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo cautiously followed behind, and Sun Kewang introduced attentively: "Tell the marshal, Zhang Xianzhong's treasury and the last general of the palace have already sent people to guard and blockade, and no one is allowed to enter without an order. The last general of the people in the city did not hurt a single one, but all of them were placed at home and waited for the king to enter the city. The remnants of Zhang Xianzhong's stay in the city have been swept away by the last general, and they are waiting for the marshal to lead the king into the city. ”

Di Qing nodded and smiled: "Okay, General Li and General Sun were able to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light in time, and make a first-class contribution to the great destruction of Zhang Xianzhong, this marshal is very pleased, and he will definitely give the merit of the two to His Royal Highness the Regent." If the two generals have any other requests, please feel free to ask. ”

The two were overjoyed, glanced at each other, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the great grace of the marshal, the last general will not dare to take credit." In the end, the ghost has been obsessed with all these years, and it is really a capital crime to follow Zhang Thief to oppose the court. The marshal can pardon the sins of the two of us regardless of the previous suspicions, we are already satisfied, where do we dare to have extravagant hopes, please marshal Mingjian! ”

Di Qing saw that the two of them were like this, and he didn't say much, and said with a smile: "The two generals should not be humble, His Highness's purpose of employing people has always been to distinguish rewards and punishments, and if you make such great achievements, Your Highness will definitely have a corresponding reward." After the order in the city is settled, the marshal will write a battle report to His Highness, and report the exploits of the two at the same time. ”

The two were overjoyed and thanked Di Qing again.

Di Qing led the army into the city, and the people along the way welcomed him, waving to the officials and soldiers, and many even cried bitterly. The crying was contagious, and the whole street was filled with the sound of people crying.

For a while, the whole city was full of crying, and Di Qing, who was watching it, felt so uncomfortable.

He knew that this was the people in the city crying for their survival and crying for the king who had finally arrived, so he stopped his horse and said loudly: "Everyone, although His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is far away in the capital, he knows that everyone has been poisoned by the thief Zhang and is miserable, so he sent the commander to lead the army to defeat the thief Zhang and save the army from the dire situation. Now that the Great Western Kingdom has perished, and the thief has been beheaded, your suffering is completely over. ”

Although the people almost knew what was going on, they got the exact news from Di Qing's mouth and knew that Zhang Xianzhong was dead, and the crowd was even more excited, and many of them were crying and kneeling on the ground and shouting Long live the regent.

There are still many relatives and friends who are confiding in Zhang Xianzhong's butcher's knife to appease their souls under the nine springs.

The whole city cried again, and Di Qing and the generals who saw it were a little moist in their eyes.

Only Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang looked at each other, their faces were ashamed, and their bodies subconsciously shrank back.
