The future is uncertain, and when there are chasing soldiers, it is impossible to stop. Because the Beijing battalion behind doesn't know when it will catch up and solve them all. However, if the box does not stop to maintain morale, then the army of rogue will disband itself.

Rogue gangsters are rogue gangsters, they don't have any military discipline to speak of, and they also don't have moral concepts and military honors or anything. If you want them to continue to work for others, you naturally need benefits.

Li Yan and Song Xiance are not there, and Niu Jinxing, the only person who can give ideas, is a character who likes to meet and shoot horses. In addition, Li Zicheng thought that he had a rough understanding of the habits and marching degree of the Beijing camp during this time, and thought that it would not be a big problem to rest here for a few days. With the marching degree of that Beijing battalion, it was not able to catch up with them for the time being.

Of course, Li Zicheng would not know that Gao Yang had given up his plan to continue to use him as a pawn. After losing its use value, Gao Yang began to deploy to wipe out Li Zicheng and these remnants of his subordinates!

It's time for this game of officers and soldiers to catch thieves come to an end.

......

"It's delicious!" In one hand, he holds a roast leg of lamb that has been roasted to a golden brown brown and is still dripping with oil and water. The other rogue, who held a wine jar in his hand, chewed the fat and juicy mutton in his mouth, and ate it with a greasy face. Raised his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth, and said meaningfully, "Jiangnan is really good!" ”

"What is this?" A rogue beside him with a flushed face, holding the wine jar with both hands, and a misty look in his eyes, burped in satisfaction, grinned and said, "I heard that in Suzhou and Hangzhou, there is silver all over the ground, and every family is a wealthy family. The little ladies over there are all fine-skinned and tender-skinned, and that's the real good place. ”

"That's it, that's it." The rogues who gathered around the fire to eat meat and drink heavily laughed and responded, "Gangnam is a good place." ”

These rogues who have given up their respective moral consciences are completely living a comfortable life of drinking and getting drunk today. For them, there is nothing more impressive than eating meat, drinking wine, sleeping with women.

Just, relatively. There is a price to be paid for everything. While these rogues are enjoying these things, they naturally have to bear the consequences that they can't afford!

"Hiccup~~~" A drunken rogue, who was visibly drunk, staggered to his feet with a wine hiccup. His face was as red as fire, and his eyes were blurred, and he stretched out his hands to his belt in confusion, and staggered to a small forest not far away to release water.

The rogues who were around the fire didn't care after taking a look, and continued to fantasize about the better days after arriving in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

The dazed rogue's footsteps came to the side of the road at the entrance of the village, just as he pulled out his own guy and was about to shoot at the weeds. Suddenly, a vague black shadow appeared in front of him. Before his alcohol-numbed brain could react, a swift wind blew, and the rogue was already covered by a big and strong hand!

The eyes of the rogue who had cold hairs erected all over his body instantly opened and bulged, and he just raised his hands to do something. A sharp dagger that had no reflection at all in the night slashed his neck!

The strange dagger was cut so deep that almost the entire head of the rogue hung down. The blood that shot out of the fire couldn't cover the strange strange sound.

The rogue who was sitting around the fire not far away, eating meat and drinking wine, also heard this strange voice. It's just that these people habitually regard it as an ordinary sound of water discharge. The brain, which was anesthetized by alcohol, didn't think much about anything else.

The rogue with his neck slitted went limp. Dragged by a pair of large hands, he disappeared into the dark woods.

Soon, there was a sound of 'rope', and many black shadows with bowed bodies quietly approached the village with a strong smell of blood.

"Huh?" After all, they are veterans who have been on the verge of life and death all year round, even if most of them have drunk Ning Thang at this time, but the battlefield intuition cultivated over the years has not disappeared. Some of the rogues with keen senses soon felt an inexplicable strange meaning.

By this time, though, it was too late.

"Whoosh~~~" A low sound of breaking through the air pierced the night. More than a dozen short crossbow arrows flashed with a cold luster in the light of the firelight, piercing the thick necks of these drunken rogues in an instant!

The people who took advantage of the night to touch it were the most elite night guards in the Ming New Army. These elites of the 6th Army rode all the way down the river on naval warships and went ashore near Ezhou Prefecture. Their task was to entangle these rogues under Li Zicheng, and wait for the arrival of the army from the south of Wuchang Mansion to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

These elite 6th Armymen in light gray night uniforms are not using high-tech objects of modern time and space. It's by the ingenuity of those minds. A dexterous light crossbow created by craftsmen who have worked all their lives.

It is different from the slave life when I worked in the Ming Ministry of Industry in the past, and I had no enthusiasm to work at all. With the introduction of new accountability systems and incentives, the craftsmen were able to work in a way that made the officials of the Ministry of Industry staggered.

Light crossbows like this, which were produced using many new tools, were extremely delicately made. The spring is small and exquisite, and the laser shot is silent. With the addition of advanced sighting equipment, these highly trained elite night guards shoot with high accuracy!

Seven or eight rogues sitting around the fire raised their hands to cover their necks almost at the same time, but they fell down halfway up. The arrows of those crossbow arrows were smeared with a very strong nerve paralyzing agent. This is what Gao Yang brought from modern time and space.

When fighting, who doesn't want their enemies to be killed by thunder. What's the big deal about putting medicine on an arrow?

The rogue at the entrance of the village suddenly lost their voices, and they wanted to make some last sounds, but unfortunately they couldn't say anything in the end. It will be impossible for them to see the scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou again.

Dozens of dim figures flashed from the grove outside the village, and these elite people who had received intensive special operations training quietly entered the village with the help of night and various objects to quietly enter the village, where the sound of loud laughter could be heard from time to time.

The hounds who are busy with pleasure are too careless. After several absent-minded sentries outside the village were resolved. There is no other precautionary measure for these rogues. After the elites of the Ming army quietly came in, it was too late.

"Ah~~~" I don't know how long it took, and suddenly there was a sharp scream from inside the village. In an instant, the false silence of the night was broken. Immediately, a series of 'bang-bang' musket shots rang out. There was chaos in the village.

These elite Ming soldiers, armed with two handcuffs, were almost invincible in close combat. No rogue can maintain his combat effectiveness after being hit by a handcuff.

The roar of muskets, the screams and wails of men, and the cries and sorrows of women mingled and lingered over this quaint little village, and they did not disperse for a long time.

Before dawn, the Ming army, which had completed its work, quietly withdrew from the village. None of the nearly 200 rogues escaped, and all of them died here. As for the women who were insulted by the rogues and were also taken away by the Ming army, they would be placed in Ezhou City, and they would be sent home after Li Zicheng was completely resolved.

In just two days, there have been many such attacks in villages near Ezhou. At least thousands of them have lost contact with each other for some reason. When they looked for it, they could only see corpses all over the ground.

Without waiting for Li Zicheng to react, a large number of dragoons arrived here day and night.

Huang Degong strictly followed Gao Yang's orders to entangle Li Zicheng's subordinates in all directions, and tried his best to prevent this group of rogues from escaping.

What Gao Yang wants is total annihilation. After Li Zicheng was defeated by Cao Bianjiao, there were only eighteen horsemen left around him. But it only took a year to turn over again, and the momentum was even louder than before.

Gao Yang will not give him this opportunity again. This time, he will be buried here.

......

"King Chuang." Li Guo, who looked nervous, walked quickly to Li Zicheng's side, with a look of panic in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "The spies we sent to the south have returned, and the road to the south is full of Ming troops. We can't get by! ”

"Huh?!" Li Zicheng frowned, "But the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp?" For Li Zicheng, the only thing he feared was the Beijing camp. The rest of the Ming army was not taken seriously by him.

"Yes." Li Guo's voice sounded a little trembling, "The military uniforms of the Beijing camp are different from those of other Ming troops, this will definitely not be mistaken." And. Li Guo paused, and then said with a complicated expression: "The soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp can recognize it just by looking at the momentum and military appearance. ”

"......" Li Zicheng lowered his eyelids and was silent. He didn't expect that the Beijing battalion would catch up so quickly. This is completely different from the previous style of the Beijing camp releasing water all the way.

"King Chuang, where are we going now?" Li Guo asked worriedly.

The actions of the Beijing battalion were unexpected, and as soon as the rogues under Li Zicheng were released, the Beijing battalion rushed over. It was as if overnight, all directions were blocked by that Beijing camp. Although only some light cavalry are blocking the road now, no one dares to underestimate these strong cavalry. If we wait until the officers and soldiers of the brigade following behind catch up, it will be all over.

Li Zicheng raised his hand and pinched his chin, frowning slightly and falling into deep thought. The north side is to go to Wuchang Mansion, and the main force of Jingying is over there, so it is absolutely impossible to go.

To the west and south were either hills or dense forests, and it was not easy for the army to enter, and there was no way out if they entered. And the mountains over there are far away, and the miasma is thick. I couldn't even find food when I walked far.

The only way out was to march all the way east, along the river towards the prosperous place south of the Yangtze River. Only when you get there can you live. It's just that the Beijing battalion that he can think of will inevitably think of this, and if he goes east, it will definitely be a bloody battle.

Li Zicheng looked around and looked at the humble camp where a large number of rogues were hurriedly packing their bags. Gritting his teeth, he said in a deep voice, "Let's go to Jiujiang Mansion and leave immediately!" (To be continued!)
