Chapter 399: Mid-Ambush

More than a thousand cavalry rushed over, but in the end they were very depressed at the foot of the mountain, they didn't expect these homeless people to suddenly drill up the mountain, riding a horse is naturally not able to go up, although the mountain is not steep, but there is no mountain road out of the road, there are thorns everywhere, there is no way to go up, there is a heart to get off the horse to attack, and I am afraid that the other party has some conspiracy, there is no progress in going around, and finally I have to leave temporarily, go back to find Zuo Liangyu to resume my life, waiting for the arrival of the large army.

As soon as they left, the people on the mountain also breathed a sigh of relief, and Cheng Hao and Li Zicheng subconsciously sat on the ground, patting their chests from time to time.

"Here we are!" Not long after, Li Zicheng, who was panting, took out a rough map that was obviously drawn by himself, pointed to a certain location and said: "This is this, twenty miles to the west, it is Qikou Mountain, this is the place where King Chuang made an appointment with us, as long as we can get here, everyone will be saved!" ”

Cheng Hao nodded subconsciously, and didn't bother to look at any more maps, anyway, when the time came, he just ran along, Li Zicheng looked honest, but he was quite a thief in the fight, and he was very skilled in escaping, I don't know if Lu Dao was the reason for being a postman, this person seemed to be born to know the way, and he was about to be caught up by officers and soldiers several times on the way, and he led the team into a lot that was only suitable for a few people to enter, so as to successfully escape from Lu in the pursuit and encirclement of the other party, By now, Cheng Hao has formed a blind trust in him, anyway, Li Chuang's characteristics are very obvious, as long as he runs with that big felt hat, plus God appreciates his face, he will generally be able to escape.

After resting for a while, the team set off again, heading towards the legendary Qikou Mountain, and it didn't take long for Zuo Liangyu's men and horses to set off again and stick to them again. And Li Zicheng's eyes did not have the previous anxiety, but with a little expectation, as if there was something in front of them that could alleviate their crisis.

Cheng Hao didn't know whether Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang were suitable for the agreement before, but he had been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, but he was very accurate in looking at people. Zuo Liangyu's brigade behind him caught up, and when he was about to surround them, suddenly a group of men and horses were killed in the distance, and the tall banner was also erected, followed by a violent shout of killing around him, and countless soldiers and horses appeared from all directions.

Zuo Liangyu was originally very excited, Li Zicheng, who was always surrounding him like a fly, was finally driven to a desperate position, as long as he chased after him for a while, he would definitely be able to kill the hundreds of people on the other side. followed by Gao Yingxiang, who was still in the north, and Zhang Xianzhong and others on the other road, as long as these rogues were killed, it was estimated that he would be promoted to the chief soldier. When the time comes, let the world know the Tao and the Tao, there will be more than one Song Qing in the Ming Dynasty, and he will be the number one Zuo Liangyu!

At this moment, the shouting and killing sounds around him froze him. Suddenly, he found himself in a place where soldiers were afraid of soldiers, and on both sides were small hills that were not half high, and the road to this place was not too wide. And now most of his troops have come in, if someone suddenly attacks here, he will almost fall into the point of being unable to advance or retreat, such a major thing he should have discovered a long time ago, but because of the easy pursuit in the past few days, he has not encountered any decent resistance at all, so the whole army is a little lax, so that from him to those officers, no one found this problem, so stupidly chased in, and then fell into an ambush.

The most important thing is that he really didn't expect that Gao Yingxiang would emerge from this place, shouldn't the other party still be near Taihang Mountain? Why did it suddenly appear near Wu'an County? Why would they accurately capture the moment they entered this canyon? Could it be that everything was arranged by the other party?

Unlike him, Li Zicheng is very excited, all this is arranged, and his task is to substitute the other party into this slightly narrow, but absolutely suitable for ambush and war canyon, as long as Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and horses can be introduced, he will be done, the next thing is to fight back, or revenge, the grievances and hatred that have been suffered in recent days, all the resentment and hatred in his heart will be avenged on the troops under Zuo Liangyu's command, and avenge the brothers who died in the war.

Gao Yingxiang rode on the horse and was complacent, he himself liked Li Zicheng very much, and when he was a child, he always felt that this nephew might have a big future, but with his rebellion, everything changed, and finally fought with the officers and soldiers or fled the life, so that he had already forgotten the nephew who had given him a good impression, who knew that God of Lu Dao intended to reunite his family, and the nephew also embarked on this road of killing officials and rebelling, and after two years, he deliberately brought his subordinates to join him, how could he not be happy?

It's just that he was a little happier, and the other old brothers who broke into the camp were not so easy to deal with, those people didn't think that Li Zicheng was a rare talent, they only regarded him as a newcomer with 2,000 people to take refuge, and the most worthless thing in the peasant army was the troops, if it was like this today, the displaced people could draw a lot of them wherever they went, if Li Zicheng brought 20,000 horses, it would be fine, but there were more than 2,000 people around him, and it really couldn't attract the attention of those old brothers.

Helpless, he can only arrange a general for Li Zicheng first, and then let him wait for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, slowly establish his prestige in the camp, and then gradually gain a relatively high position, and this time to lure the enemy Zuo Liangyu is the best opportunity, although the danger of this opportunity is relatively large, but Li Zicheng himself is very willing to do it, Gao Yingxiang is also very in favor of letting her do it, the status of the peasant army itself is precarious, and it is hunted down by the government all day long, if you want to gain a position in it in a short period of time, it is impossible for you not to take some risks, Now everything proves that the original decision was completely correct, Li Zicheng is indeed capable of completing this kind of task, and he is indeed a rare talent.

Watching the large army from all directions attacking Zuo Liangyu with stones and bows and arrows, Gao Yingxiang himself also felt extremely comfortable, these peasant armies have been threatened by Zuo Liangyu recently, and they have long hated this famous guy, and now they finally waited for an opportunity to beat the water dogs, and they were all crowded and tried their best to attack the other party, Zuo Liangyu's troops were originally quite well-trained, but when they suddenly encountered this kind of thing, they were also a little caught off guard, and they were in chaos in an instant.

Zuo Liangyu himself was also trapped in the canyon, he didn't like to fight like Song Qing like to walk in front, but at the same time he didn't like to wander in the back position, the middle position was the safest he felt, and at this time his troops came in more than half of the place, he was in the rear position of the troops entering the canyon, this position was not too strong to encounter the attack, so he was also capable of commanding the battle, but he found that no matter how he commanded, it seemed that there was no way to change his fate, after all, his team was in a very bad position, It's almost completely the rhythm of being beaten passively, and there is no way to organize a counterattack in a hurry, and if you want to avoid greater losses, retreat is the best way.

"General, you can't stay here, let's leave!" Several officers came over, all looking at Zuo Liangyu with anxious faces, they knew that the general's bull temper, as long as his temperament came up, he could ignore everything, for fear that this time would be the same, and in this case, he would continue to fight with the other party, so they all came up to persuade him at the first time.

Zuo Liangyu is indeed a bull temper, but he has been a deputy general in the past few years, and he himself is also thinking about change, after all, the deputy general is already a very high position, and he can't do everything according to his previous habits, it's time to think about some overall things, so he is also consciously suppressing his bull temper, after this ambush, he originally planned to let the troops charge the mountains on both sides for the first time, but in the end he still endured this unrealistic, regardless of casualties, and now he sees that his subordinates are persuading him to withdraw his troops, Looking at the troops in front of them who were beaten by wooden artillery stones, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Tell the brothers to withdraw, the rear team quickly clear the place, exit this canyon first, and then tell people to pay attention to those rogues, don't go out of the canyon and be exploited by others, then Lao Tzu's face will be thrown home!" ”

The officers under his command quickly dispersed, each to do different things, the direction of the rear team also quickly cleared the place, so that the front troops slowly withdrew to the outside, every time a part of the men and horses were withdrawn, they would set up a formation at the mouth of the canyon, strictly prevent Gao Yingxiang's men and horses from chasing out, but the front but not the back, just half of the retreat, it was the most chaotic time, but several sentries hurriedly rushed up from behind, and reported with a worried face: "General Qi, the rogue is killed from behind!" ”

"Behind? How is it possible, Gao Yingxiang's people are not all here! Zuo Liangyu couldn't believe it, even if he was ambushed here at this time, but he was too persistent in pursuing Li Zicheng, so he was ambushed by Gao Yingxiang here, but the reconnaissance along the way was never delayed, and Gao Yingxiang's troops could not appear in the rear at all.

A few probes took a breath, and then said: "General, it's not Gao Yingxiang's soldiers and horses who are coming, it's the eight kings, the thieves seem to have divided their troops, and they have killed them all the way from the east!" ”

"Zhang Xianzhong?" As soon as Zuo Liangyu's voice fell, there was already a shouting behind him, and countless people rushed over to kill, the first general was full of beautiful hair, his face was burnt, and he was holding a long-pole Pu knife in his hand, and a few people behind him were guarding the Eight Great King Banners and following the charge, it was Zhang Xianzhong, a giant who had a reputation that chased Gao Yingxiang and a few others.
