At the foot of the Phoenix Mountain, the carriage gorge is full of mountains and mountains, the clouds and mist are misty, and you can faintly see that there is a long dragon slowly moving forward in the canyon, this long dragon composed of people winds along with the canyon, and there is no edge in sight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The terrain of the Carriage Gorge is steep, the road is tortuous and difficult to travel, the widest part of the canyon is not more than a zhang, and the deeper you go into the canyon, the narrower it is. It was midday, and the fog in the canyon had cleared quite a bit. The topography in the canyon gradually became clearer, and after chasing for nearly an hour, there was no trace of the officers and soldiers. Li Zicheng was already a little suspicious in his heart, seeing that the terrain was becoming more and more dangerous and unpredictable, the worry in Li Zicheng's heart was also deepening, and finally Li Zicheng couldn't help but call Liu Zongmin and asked, "Zongmin, have you seen the official army flee to this canyon with your own eyes?" ”

Liu Zongmin was puzzled, scratched his head and replied: "I did see some officers and soldiers coming in from the valley, but the fog was too big at that time, but the specific number of people was not too clear, what's wrong, big brother?" Any questions? ”

The uneasiness in Li Zicheng's heart became heavier and heavier, his intuition told him that something bad was going to happen, in order to further prove his guess, Li Zicheng continued to ask, "Did you find anything wrong when you captured those cannons just now?" ”

"Wrong? Nope! Liu Zongmin replied while thinking about it, "If you want to say that there are doubts, when we captured the artillery, the officers and soldiers were already far away, and according to the time, they had every chance to transport the artillery away, even if they couldn't transport it, they should have blown it up, why didn't they do it?" I haven't figured this out to Lao Liu! ”

Li Zicheng suddenly blurted out in his heart, "It's not good!" There is fraud! Quickly send someone to tell King Chuang that this is a trick by the officials and soldiers! Then he scolded Liu Zongmin: "You fool, did you break your head by striking iron?" Why didn't you tell me something so important sooner? ”

Liu Zongmin said aggrievedly: "You didn't give me a chance to say it!" I was just about to say that I was scolded by you! ”

Li Zicheng said angrily: "Stupid, if you are really ambushed by the official army this time, you will be your blacksmith for the rest of your life!" After that, the horse's whip was raised, and the horse's head was turned and galloped towards the position of Gao Yingxiang in the rear, and he kept shouting, "King Chuang, quickly withdraw from the canyon, this is the trick of the official army!" ”

Li Zicheng's shouting all the way attracted the attention of the crowd, and when he heard Li Zicheng's shout, the crowd began to commotion. Gao Yingxiang was also a little surprised when he heard Li Zicheng's voice from afar, and hurriedly asked left and right, "What is Chuang General shouting?" ”

Liu Zhe said uncertainly, "It seems that if you shout about the treacherous tricks of the officials and the army, there is fraud or something!" ”

Gao Yingxiang was shocked and said, "There is fraud? Not good, quickly order the withdrawal of the army from the canyon, hurry! After Li Zicheng's reminder, Gao Yingxiang also suddenly discovered the strangeness of the matter, and he also believed that Li Zicheng would not be untargeted. With the mentality of believing that he had something or not, Gao Yingxiang immediately ordered the army to retreat.

But how many are the 100,000 troops? How can it be said that it can be withdrawn? And on the side of the valley, Liu Fan has been paying attention to the movements in the valley, and when he saw the movements of the rogue, Liu Fan knew that the matter might be exposed, and he didn't care that there were still a few and a half of the rogues who had not had time to enter the canyon, so he immediately ordered, "Send a signal!" Get the demolition team into action! ”

"Bang" An orange-red smoke exploded in the air, faintly visible in the hazy fog. After receiving the order, Taniguchi's ambush demolition team immediately lit the fire rope. With a few loud "booms", 10,000 tons of boulders in the valley rolled down the hillside, crushing the rogues who had no time to escape from the mouth of the valley to the ground. The smoke and dust from the boulders that fell to the ground filled half of the small valley, mixed with the fog, making it almost impossible to see. At the same time, there were several loud noises in the west.

Li Zicheng chuckled in his heart, looked at the smoke and dust in front of him and sighed, it's still a step too late! A huge explosion sounded, Gao Yingxiang was also shocked, and hurriedly said to Li Zicheng and the others beside him, "Send someone to see what happened?" ”

Li Zicheng smiled bitterly and said, "King Chuang doesn't need to look at it, it's obvious that we have fallen for Liu Fan's tricks, listening to this movement, I'm afraid that the valley mouth will be blown up!" We can't get out, and the most important thing now is to think about guarding against the attack of the officers and soldiers! ”

As soon as Li Zicheng's words were finished, a terrifying killing cry sounded on both sides of the valley, and rolling boulders and logs with raging fire poured down from both sides of the valley. In the narrow valley, the rogues were almost next to each other, and there was no gap between them, and in a panic, a stampede inevitably occurred. In order to survive, no matter how high or low, no matter how big or small the position, at this moment, he just wants to desperately escape from the attack range of the official army and strive for a glimmer of life.

"There are people on both sides of the valley, release the arrows, release the arrows quickly!" The leader of the rogues, who thought he was smart, immediately shouted hoarsely when attacked. This cry was like a life-saving straw, and in desperation, the rogue's archers knew that their bows and arrows could not reach the top of the cliff 100 meters high, but they still opened their bows and arrows to shoot arrows at both sides of the valley.

Sure enough, before the arrow reached the top of the mountain, it lost its strength and fell one after another. The expected counterattack had no effect, and the rogues became even more desperate, and some of them did not even bother to hide in the face of the boulders rolling down the hillside. Just dry eyes closed and waiting for death.

Li Zicheng was terrified when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted, "What about the cannon? Where is our captured artillery, quickly roll it out and give me a counterattack! ”

Liu Zongmin smiled bitterly, "Big brother, although we have cannons, we don't have many cannonballs!" And there wasn't much gunpowder. I want to be blocked by stones at the mouth of the valley, and I rely on these gunpowder to blow up a way out, so I can't waste it in vain! ”

Li Zicheng said with a gloomy face, "I know this, you don't have to think about it with your pig brain, since the officials and soldiers have been prepared, will they let us easily blow up the valley?" Fast! Do as I say! Otherwise, the morale of the army will be lost, and we will be defeated without the official army! ”

Liu Zongmin had no choice but to lead people to push out the artillery that was hidden in the dark again, and under Li Zicheng's order, those rogues who surrendered from the border army and knew how to use artillery quickly adjusted the muzzle of the cannon and loaded ammunition. After a while, the roar of artillery rang out, and the rocks on both sides of the valley exploded. The rogue cannon began to fall on the heads of the Breakers.

Zhang Xianzhong saw Li Zicheng take out the artillery, and knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had no choice but to learn from Li Zicheng, and aimed the muzzle of the cannon at the valley and began to bombard. There were a large number of rogues, many of whom were elite border troops, and they were also good at handling artillery, and after several test firings, the accuracy gradually improved.

The artillery of the Liukou was powerful, and there were some casualties in the Broken Army, Liu Fan couldn't cry or laugh when he saw this, and the casualties of the artillery he "sent" to the Liukou were not small. Does this count as lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot? (To be continued.) )
