Chapter 822: Peaceful World (16)

"King Chuang!" Li Guo was shocked, and hurriedly spoke out to stop him, "We still have many soldiers and horses scattered outside, and they ......"

"It's too late!" Li Zicheng interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said with a gloomy face: "Don't you know the combat power of the Jingying official army? If we don't break through as soon as possible, no one will want to leave! ”

"But!" The anxious Li Guo still wanted to persuade again, after all, this was their last capital, and it was a pity to throw it away like this. ↗ As the top story goes, it's almost impossible to pull up such a team in the future!

"Listen to me, go!" Li Zicheng showed his true character at this time, and immediately made a decision, trying to quickly break out of the encirclement. It's easy to say anything else, but there is only one life, and if you are buried here, it is useless to say anything. He had a hunch that the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp were ruthless this time!

Li Zicheng's determination is very firm, and his execution is also very resolute. It's a pity that Gao Yang has already arranged everything, just waiting to clean him up.

In an era when information dissemination is difficult, it is simply impossible to smoothly assemble a large group of people in a short period of time. Li Zicheng was worried that he would be trapped in the encirclement of the official army, so he could only flee with the men and horses around him first. As for the others, they can only resign themselves to fate.

Li Zicheng hurriedly left the temporary military camp at the foot of Phoenix Mountain with thousands of soldiers and horses around him, and quickly ran all the way in the direction of Jiujiang Mansion. When the sky was getting dark, I came to the shore of Huama Lake, under the wind volcano.

Orange fiery clouds rolled wildly in the distance, washing the blue sky like raging waves. The setting sun slowly sinking into the horizon took away the last afterglow between heaven and earth, and the whole land gradually fell into darkness.

When Li Zicheng came to the wind volcano with his soldiers and horses, he saw a small village not far away, and almost every household was smoking, a leisurely pastoral scene.

A group of rogue cavalry shouted and rode over, preparing to get some hot food here for Li Zicheng and the others to enjoy. It's just that after these rogues entered the village, they found that there was no one in this village!

The dog at the entrance of the village barked a few times and then slipped away with his tail between his legs. The chickens and ducks in the yard are running around as if they are having fun. Many homes have their doors wide open. Clothes and other things were scattered all over the ground, and there were even many copper coins scattered on the ground, but no one picked them up.

They didn't take what they saw seriously. In their opinion, the people of the village had just fled in a hurry when they saw a large group of people coming. No big deal.

A hungry rogue kicked the kitchen open, lifted the lid of the pot, reached out and grabbed the half-cooked rice and swallowed it.

After Li Zicheng and others came to this small village, a large number of rogues had begun to happily catch chickens and slaughter pigs in the village, preparing to eat a big meal.

It was impossible for such a small village to put thousands of rogues in, and in the end, only Li Zicheng and a group of military generals and their guards were allowed to enter the village. The rest of the people all set up cauldrons in the fields outside the village, and removed the doors and beams from the village to make burning things and make dinner. No matter what the era, eating is always the most important thing.

Li Zicheng, who was worried, came to the aqueduct outside the village with his back hand. Worried, his eyes crossed the lake to the curling smoke rising from the looming villages on the opposite shore.

"King Chuang." Li Guo, who was sweating profusely, hurriedly came behind Li Zicheng and whispered, "Those villagers may have gone up to the hill behind the village to take refuge." I've sent someone up to investigate. ”

"Hmm." Li Zicheng, who was in a bad mood, responded casually, and he didn't need to worry about such a small matter.

Thinking about the ups and downs he has experienced over the years, thinking about his fall from glory to the point where he is like a lost dog. Li Zicheng's heart became more and more annoyed and depressed. How so? Li Zicheng has never understood why things suddenly took a turn for the worse and reached this embarrassing point?

Li Guo looked at Li Zicheng, who was worried and frowned. After thinking about it, he took out a box of cigarettes sold in Jingshilifang from his arms. took out one and handed it to Li Zicheng.

This is a good thing brought back by the sentinels sent to the Beijing Division. It's just a very small number, and only a small number of high-ranking generals can enjoy it. It is very useful for relieving troubles.

Looking at the cigarette handed to him. Li Zicheng moved the corners of his mouth, and barely showed a smile.

Li Guo also lit a cigarette for himself, and the uncle and nephew swallowed clouds and spit out fog together next to the canal.

"If I can't get over this time, you can find a quiet place to live incognito in the future." Li Zicheng lowered his eyelids. said in a low voice, "I only have one relative like you now, and I can't say anything to break the bloodline of our old Li family." This time you're going to get out alive no matter what. ”

"King Chuang." Li Guo looked at Li Zicheng with a complicated expression, squeezed out a difficult smile on his face, and said softly, "We can all go out." It will be fine in the future. When I was in Shangluo, it was even worse than now. Didn't we still roll over? ”

Li Zicheng had no children or daughters, and after the rebellion, all the members of his family were killed by the government. Except for Li Laiheng's righteous sons, Li Guo is the only one who is really related to him in this world.

This time, it faced a large-scale encirclement and suppression by the officials and troops of Beijing. Li Zicheng had a very bad feeling in his heart. He felt that he might not be able to escape this pursuit.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng shook his head with a wry smile. Taking a deep breath of his cigarette, he said in a deep voice, "This time is different." This Beijing battalion army is completely different from the officers and soldiers we have encountered in the past. I don't know why I've been indulging us all the way. But now that they are serious, there is no way out for us at all. All of this is nothing more than a death throes. ”

After Li Guo heard these frustrating words, he also felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

How powerful this Beijing camp is, he has personally experienced it. When he was in Xuanda a few years ago, thousands of cavalry in Beijing beat him to the ground, and almost left his life there. At this moment, the Beijing camp poured out, how could they resist!

Just when the uncle and nephew were relatively speechless, a roar of muskets suddenly sounded familiar but made them tremble from the wind volcano in the distance behind them!

Li Zicheng's body trembled slightly, and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground. He turned abruptly and looked at the hill in the distance. A look of despair flashed in the depths of his eyes. Sure enough, those Beijing camp officers and soldiers set up an ambush here!

How the hell do they know?!

How could Gao Yang, who had been using a reconnaissance plane to monitor the entire battlefield, not know about Li Zicheng's movements? If it weren't for the fear of causing turmoil in time and space, Gao Yang would have launched a reconnaissance satellite to monitor the entire planet.

After discovering that Li Zicheng had escaped with others, Gao Yang quickly adjusted his deployment. Originally, the navy warships were loaded with a large number of new army troops and went ashore near Ezhou to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng's troops.

After discovering that Li Zicheng was planning to flee quickly with some of the rogues, Gao Yang personally led a new army of about 2,000 people and did not land in Ezhou. Instead, they continued down the river and went ashore on the riverside near Huama Lake.

This new army had already set up a blocking position before Li Zicheng's unit came here. As for the villagers in that village, they were all evacuated by the new army.

"It's been discovered." Origin said aloud.

Gao Yang smiled, raised the binoculars in his hand and looked at the panicked rogues near the village under the mountain not far away. "It doesn't matter, they can't leave anyway." ”

Nearly 2,000 recruits took up their muskets. Under the command of the officers, a somewhat evacuated line of infantry was discharged and killed from the top of the hill.

Li Zicheng was surrounded by three or four thousand of the most hardcore rogues. At this point, they are in a very bad situation. To the west is Lake Huama, and to the east is the Wind Volcano. Both places are desperate.

Needless to say, the road they came on must be very dangerous, and the cavalry of the Beijing camp who had been hanging them from a distance must be behind them.

And if you rush forward along the official road, you will expose the entire side in front of the officers and soldiers who are blocking the attack. It's hard to say how many people will eventually get out alive.

"Whew~~~Huh~~~" Li Zicheng, whose eyes were changing rapidly, gasped for breath.

He could now be sure that his every move was under the control of the officers and soldiers. I used to think that someone was reporting to the officers and soldiers. But this time he moved so quickly, and it was a temporary thing, so he didn't have the time and opportunity to send a message to anyone. But the officers and soldiers still calmly set up an ambush on their own way! They're all light cavalry!

"Could it be that the national teacher is really an immortal? Able to use clairvoyant spells to look at yourself? At this time, Li Zicheng, who was in despair, could only guess like this.

"King Chuang, let's go!" Li Guo pulled up Li Zicheng's sleeves and quickly ran towards the war horses outside the village.

Hurried to the side of the war horse, and raised his eyes to see the grass-green wave on the hill not far away. Waves of musket fire knocked the panicked rogues to the ground. The raided rogues are completely out of order. Most of the people were running around in a panic and without a clue. Only a few people who still had some brains all ran towards the warhorse. No one can get out alive without a war horse.

"Remember!" Li Zicheng, who was pushed onto the war horse by Li Guo and his guards, leaned over and grabbed Li Guo. Yuan looked at him with wide eyes and shouted in a deep voice, "No matter what, you must escape!" Leave a bloodline for our old Li family! Don't think about revenge in the future, just live well! ”

"King Chuang!" Li Guo looked at Li Zicheng in shock, with a hint of despair in his expression. The shock in my heart resounded like thunder.

He has always turned evil into good fortune, and he will not flinch when he encounters any difficulties. Li Zicheng, who can make a comeback every time, how strong is his heart? How resolute is the character? Li Guo never thought that King Chuang would have a desperate day! (To be continued.) )
