Chapter 388: We Descended
Seeing that his henchman who was coming to the rescue would be swallowed up by the crowd in a blink of an eye, Zhang Guoxing's mind was blank at this time, and he was at a loss, not knowing what to do. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Seeing that there are more and more thieves coming in, there seems to be no end, and since Zhang Wen and Wu Rong, the two reckless men rushed into the thief formation, the formation on their own side has become a mess, and many people are headless flies rushing around, and the guerrilla Jia Qi, who is following Zhang Guoxing's side, saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "General Town, General Town!" If you don't give the order to break out, the brothers will all be left here! ”
Zhang Guoxing suddenly heard Jia Qi's words, came back to his senses, and immediately shouted loudly as if he was crazy: "Break through!" Breakthrough! Break out of the town with protection! ”
Of course Zhang Guoxing didn't want to die, although he was not very well treated by the young governor, but after all, he was a general soldier, and he had not yet enjoyed the glory and wealth of high-ranking officials, so how could he be willing to die in this poor and remote ravine?
At the moment, he was desperately shouting and beating the horses desperately, but the front and back were full of people, and the horses under him couldn't take big strides or run, but kept neighing.
Zhang Guoxing shouted loudly, even in the mountains full of shouts and killings.
Wang Ziyong and Luo Rucai, who were standing on the nearby hill watching the battle, looked at each other and smiled, both knowing that the plan had succeeded.
Luo Rucai bowed slightly to the king and said, "Prime Minister, it's time to send someone to collect Shilou County!" Luo is not talented, and he is willing to lead people to go again. ”
Wang Ziyong looked at Luo Rucai, whose eyes were flickering, pondered for a while, and said, "Don't worry, catch this fat pig first!" This is the biggest fat pig the brothers have ever caught since they went up the mountain! ”
After saying this, Wang Ziyong laughed out loud, and he could see that he was extremely happy.
It's no wonder that Wang Zixin is full of flowers, since he fell into the grass in northern Shaanxi, he has only been chased and killed by the official army, how could he have thought that one day he would be able to win a member of the imperial court!
Although the chief military officer was already very worthless at the end of the Ming Dynasty, in these ranks of thieves, who were mainly deserters, bandits, and homeless people, the chief military officer was still a high-ranking and unreachable existence.
Luo Rucai accompanied Wang Ziyong to talk and laugh in the distance, but the battle on the mountain road below the hillside was still continuing to heat up.
Zhang Guoxing and Jia Qi's loud shouts played a little role, but the side effects were even greater, Jia Qi was shot in the left eye by an arrow flying from nowhere, and chased down the horse with a miserable scream, and was soon trampled to death on the ground by the war horse of the self-army, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
If Zhang Guoxing's team can be highly valued by Hong Chengchou and can be equipped with even a few hundred new muskets of the imperial court, then they will still have a chance to break out of the encirclement.
But they didn't.
Historically, the Shaanxi General Military Office has always been located in Xi'an, and many battalion leaders under the command of the General Army, because they could not pay their salaries, were unwilling to go out of the city and go to northern Shaanxi to quell the turmoil, and the most incredible thing is that they not only refused the imperial court's requisition again and again, but also mutinied again and again.
Although the thieves in northern Shaanxi did not participate much in the army under the command of the Shaanxi General Army, there were many shadows of the Shaanxi army in the chaos in Guanzhong and Hannan.
This Zhang Guoxing in this time and space is an honest mediocre person, who is often swayed by his henchmen and generals in ordinary times, but at this time, the generals and guerrillas under his command died tragically one after another, but he suddenly found that he could no longer restrain his subordinates.
These Shaanxi soldiers are not fools, seeing that the general situation is not good, many people choose to abandon their weapons and surrender, and even strike first, killing their comrades who are still fighting hard, just to show loyalty to the nearby thief army and present a letter of surrender.
Li Xing, who was originally commanding his subordinates to rush and kill the guerrilla at the front, suddenly started to think differently when he saw this at this time.
Looking back at Zhang Guoxing, who was brandishing a long knife and shouting to break through, he suddenly turned his head and ran back, with the guards around him, while rushing away from the crowd of the self-army, he shouted: "Dodge, dodge, Lao Tzu has something to report to the town!" ”
Hundreds of people gathered in front of Zhang Guoxing quickly flashed a way, and Li Xing finally returned to Zhang Guoxing's side with his subordinates.
Zhang Guoxing saw Li Xing riding a horse over, and did not suspect him, and asked anxiously: "What should I do?" What should we do? ”
But Li Xing, who had just ridden over, didn't care to speak, and when the war horse under him and Zhang Guoxing's war horse staggered, Li Xing suddenly pounced, and threw Zhang Guoxing, who was still asking what to do, under the horse!
Zhang Guoxing reacted instantly, and Zhang Huang shouted in a daze: "Li Xing, you bastard, what are you going to do!" ”
"Lord Zong Zhen has offended, and he is earning a way to live for his brothers!"
Zhang Guoxing, who has been pampered for many years, is the opponent of Li Xing in the prime of life, plus he has fallen off the horse, so he was quickly caught by Li Xing.
The officers and soldiers around the two were stunned, not knowing what had happened at this moment.
At this time, Li Xing held a knife and put it on Zhang Guoxing's thick neck, and shouted hoarsely at the surroundings: "Brothers, listen, at this point, only surrender can save your life!" I took Zhang Guoxing, and I am willing to surrender with Li Xing, so let's surrender together! ”
The Chinese soldiers who were about to come forward to rescue their lord in the town also hesitated to stop when they heard this.
Zhang Guoxing is really good to the people around him, and it can even be said that he is quite conniving, breaking the law and violating discipline, and even robbing the people, he turns a blind eye and does not easily use military law, so among the officers and soldiers under his command, he is also quite popular with the military.
However, this kind of military spirit is extremely unreliable, often violates military law and is not dealt with, and even gives them many small favors in order to entrap their subordinates, which can only make these people more ignorant of the law and lack of reverence for the military discipline of the superiors.
At this time, the consequences of this evil will be revealed.
Li Xing shouted hoarsely, the offensive of the peripheral thieves was also suspended, and the personal soldiers in front of and behind Zhang Guoxing's body also stopped, all waiting to see Zhang Guoxing's reaction.
At this moment, Zhang Guoxing was disheartened for no reason, closed his hungry eyes, and was silent.
Zhang Guoxing didn't speak at this time, and the surrounding officials and soldiers were naturally happy to think that he had agreed to the choice of surrender.
For a moment, the shouting and killing were much quieter, but the shouting suddenly sounded.
One person, two people, three people, followed by a group of people, not too long ago, on the entire mountain road, except for the whistling of the thief army under Wang Ziyong and Luo Rucai, there was no longer the shouting of the official army.
However, the rush did not completely stop, and Zhong Dewu and hundreds of officers and soldiers around him were fighting.
They were all foot soldiers who originally fell behind the brigade, and when the thieves swarmed down from the mountains and forests on both sides, they were at the outskirts of the encirclement, and they were soon divided by the thieves who rushed down at the back of the brigade.
If there was not a single brave and invincible officer in command, then this group of officers and troops would soon be divided again and again, and then slaughtered one by one.
However, these two or three hundred officers and soldiers were lucky enough to follow Zhong Dewu, who was always hesitant.
Zhong Dewu, who had been fighting for most of the hour, was so tired that he couldn't lift his arms, but he still held the long-handled Qi knife in his hand with both hands, and slashed and slashed the thieves who came like a tide one after another.
If the thieves rushing in front can stop their tracks, they will probably hesitate when they encounter this black-faced strong man who is covered in blood and killing gods.
However, those thieves who rushed over were also involuntarily involuntarily, even if their hands and feet were weak when facing Zhong Dewu, they could only come up and die hard.
Because there were too many people behind him, the people in the back rushed forward without any scruples, and the people in front couldn't stop at all, so they could only hit Zhong Dewu's knife edge.
However, crowd tactics also have the advantage of crowd tactics, after all, no matter how elite the army is, there are times when it is tired.
"We took down Zhang Guoxing! We have fallen! We have fallen! ”
Here, Zhong Dewu just swung his long knife again, bright red blood splashed everywhere, and he saw a head flying into the air, but he suddenly heard the shouting of surrender from the middle of the sea of people in the distance, and he was suddenly deflated and suddenly felt exhausted.
