Chapter 395: The End of the Hero

At the junction of the eastern part of Huguang Province and the west of the Yangtze River, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, there is a Tongshan County. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The terrain of the prefecture is extremely complex due to its undulating mountains and dense forests.

On May 4 of the first year of Hongguang, in the Jiugong Mountain area in the south of Tongshan County, a group of more than 20 horsemen and horses broke the tranquility of the mountain forest.

At the head of the procession was a burly knight wearing a hat, a blue suit, and a red cape, with deep eyes and a high nose, a strange appearance, and a black blindfold over his left eye.

This person is the founding emperor of the Great Shun Kingdom, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang. However, at this time, Li Zicheng is no longer the invincible hero who crisscrosses the Central Plains and breaks through the Beijing division to force Chongzhen to hang, since the defeat of a stone, his Dashun army has been defeated in the face of the Eight Banners Army, all the way from Shanxi to Xiangyang, and then from Xiangyang to Huguang Yangtze River, panicked and almost became a lost dog.

Just a few days ago, in the forty miles west of Jiujiang, the Shun army was defeated again and the Qing soldiers broke through the old camp, and the general Liu Zongmin, the military advisor Song Xiance, his two uncles Zhao Hou and Xiangnan Hou and a large number of soldiers' families were captured by the Qing soldiers. Before that, seeing that the future was hopeless, Prime Minister Niu Jinxing had taken his son to leave the Shun army and surrender to the Qing army. Li Zicheng fled from the battlefield with only more than 30,000 men, crossed the Yangtze River and entered the territory of Huguang.

However, Li Zicheng has experienced countless failures in his life, and he has also refined strong nerves, and at the most dangerous time, under the encirclement and suppression of Yang Sichang's "four positive and six corners, ten sides of the net", Li Zicheng only led eighteen horsemen to hide in Shangluo Mountain. Later, I took the opportunity to re-emerge from the mountain and swept the Central Plains!

Li Zicheng is confident that he is the proud son of the Son of Heaven, a descendant of Li Jiqian, the Taizu of Western Xia, and was born to be a hero. These difficulties in front of him are not difficult for him at all, compared with being forced into Shangluo Mountain, he now has 30,000 subordinates, as well as dozens of fierce generals who loyally follow Tian Jianxiu, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, and Zhang Nai. Li Zicheng believed that he would inevitably be able to rise again and defeat the Manchus to dominate the world!

Originally, when he retreated from western Shaanxi, Li Zicheng had the idea of attacking Nanjing down the river, because the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions centered on Nanjing were the richest places in the world, and if they developed on the basis for a few years, they would inevitably be able to reorganize a powerful army and defeat the Manchus. However, the Qing army led by Azig chased too close, and the Shun army had a large number of family members with the army, and the marching speed was too slow, and I heard that the other Qing army had arrived in Yangzhou, and after this defeat, Li Zicheng knew that the strategy of seizing Nan*jing as the foundation could not be realized at all.

However, Li Zicheng had already chosen the next step, that is, to occupy the southern part of Huguang, and then go south to Liangguang. There has always been a saying that "Huguang is ripe, the world is full", you can get a lot of food if you occupy Huguang, and with food, you can recruit troops on a large scale, and the Shun army will inevitably rise again!

Li Ziyuan himself is an indomitable person, and after he has a goal in mind, he immediately takes his son Zhang Nai and twenty personal soldiers to personally explore the terrain and find the best passage into the southern part of Huguang.

But what Li Zicheng didn't know was that there were countless eyes staring at him in the dense forest.

Due to the undulating terrain at the junction of the eastern part of Hudong and the west of the Yangtze River, bandits have always been rampant. In order to deal with the bandits, the local landlords and gentry trained the regimental training arm, and Cheng Jiubo was the leader of the regimental training in the Jiugongshan area.

On this day, a subordinate suddenly reported that a bandit had entered the Jiugong Mountain area and was stepping on the spot. After Cheng Jiubo heard the news, he immediately rushed to the dense forest with three hundred men to ambush.

Of course, at this time, Cheng Jiubo didn't know that among the twenty or so people in front of him, there was the famous Emperor Li Zicheng of the Great Shun Kingdom, if he knew, I am afraid that he would not dare to attack this group of people by his courage.

Li Zicheng walked with his subordinates in the mountains and forests, and suddenly felt very bad, the war horse under his crotch seemed to have tripped over something, and before he could react, more than ten rows of sharp bamboo rows came head-on with a vicious wind.

"Your Majesty, hide!" Yizi Zhang Nai exclaimed.

A good Li Zicheng, worthy of being a fierce general who has been fighting for many years, a man who turned over and fell off his horse, which was able to escape the attack of the bamboo platoon, but his subordinates did not have such good luck, and more than a dozen cavalrymen screamed and were knocked off the war horse by the bamboo platoon.

Before Li Zicheng could gain a firm foothold, a sharp whistle sounded, and countless bamboo spears with one end sharpened flew out of the dense forest, immediately shooting down a large number of his subordinate soldiers.

Li Zicheng pulled out his knife to slash left and right, and cut several flying bamboo spears one after another, and at this time shot dozens of arrows from the dense forest, Li Zicheng was finally blind in one eye, unable to see the direction of the arrow, and was plunged into the chest by a feather arrow.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Nai slashed several feather arrows, rushed to Li Zicheng, and hugged Li Zicheng's majestic body.

"Good boy, I, I can't do it, you, you run!" The corners of Li Zicheng's mouth kept bleeding blood, urging.

Hundreds of regimental training soldiers were rushing out of the dense forest, and none of Li Zicheng's servants could stand except Zhang Nai.

Looking at Li Zicheng, whose breath was gradually weakening, Zhang Nai shed tears sadly, angrily glanced at the regimental training arms that surrounded him, put down Li Zicheng's body, jumped on a war horse, turned the horse's head and beat the horse away.

"Shoot an arrow, leave him behind!" Cheng Jiubo kicked and hit the archers beside him, and several archers hurriedly shot arrows, but the feather arrows fell behind Zhang Nai's horse one after another.

"I didn't expect that I, Li Zicheng, would dominate the world in my life, but in the end I capsized in the gutter!" Looking at the approaching enemy, Li Zicheng closed his eyes with a wry smile!

"This must be a bandit leader, you see how vicious he looks!" A regimental training soldier stepped forward and slashed Li Zicheng's head with a sword.

"Chop off everyone's heads and send them to the county government for reward!" Looking at the twenty or so corpses on the ground, Cheng Jiubo shouted in high spirits.

A generation of heroes Li Zicheng fell in the Jiugong Mountains of Hu*bei, and his death marked the collapse of the Dashun army.

Zhang Nai fled back to the army, reported the death of Li Zicheng to Empress Gao, heard that their emperor had been killed, the remaining 30,000 Dashun soldiers were furious, under the leadership of Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi and other generals, they invaded Tongshan County, destroyed the four realms, the people scattered like birds and beasts, and there were no less than thousands of people who died under the sound of swords and swords, and ravaged the place for several days.

Ten days later, after secretly burying Li Zicheng, the Shun army left Tongshan County and headed west into Ningzhou. Later, he was appeased by He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, and began the process of Lian Ming and Qing Dynasty.
