Chapter 2 Li Zicheng is trapped
Even if Bai Wang and his Huguang soldiers desperately protected Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng still thought that this - Bai Wang could not be trusted! Li Zicheng left Bai Wang to guard Huguang after entering the customs, and later Zuo Liangyu's attack allowed Yuan Zongdi to lead the army to help.
Bai Wang has been in Huguang for so long, it is very likely that he will change his mind. Didn't people like Li Zhisheng and Geng Ranming betray themselves? Even Gu Junen, the strategist next to him, had wanted to give up his actions before! These people can't be trusted!
Isn't this incident of Wang Liangzhi just now an explanation? Wang Liangzhi, as the goalkeeper of Xi'an, made an exception to make him an uncle, and asked him to change his name from the indecent Wang Genzi to Wang Liangzhi, and in the end he did something ungrateful at a critical moment! How could Bai Wang and his Henan Huguang soldiers believe it?
Li Zicheng looked at the Praetorian Guards around him again, all of them were from Shaanxi, and there were nearly 1,000 people! He has repeatedly fallen into danger, and it is only by relying on the desperate resistance of the old brothers in Shaanxi that he has turned the crisis into safety, and now he can't give up the old brothers in Shaanxi when he is in danger, and he still has to rely on them.
Li Zicheng said: "General Bai, we can't fight together, in this case, the goal is too obvious!" will make the Qing army ......" As soon as he said this, two arrows of "whoosh" flew past Li Zicheng's side.
Bai Wang asked nervously, "Your Majesty, you have nothing to do, right?" Bai Wang was looking Li Zicheng up and down, and he wanted to make sure that Li Zicheng was not injured in order to feel at ease.
Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Ha Lu Ha! Bai Wang, you can rest assured! I'm the true Son of Heaven, how can anything happen? ”
Bai Wang breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that Bai Wang didn't expect Li Zicheng to doubt him in his heart: "Hmph! Bai Wang cares about me on the surface, who knows if it's true or not! ”
Li Zicheng said again: "Bai Wang, now I have thought of a clever plan. We can only concentrate on being captured by the Qing army! Why don't you lead an army to lead away the Qing army under my banner. I will lead my Praetorian Guard out of the siege again. Let's go to Jiexuan's army together, pack up our men and horses, and then come back to destroy the Qing army! ”
"Your Majesty! The enemy is huge! Can't be divided! Not to mention that there are 5,000 Huguang soldiers by my side, they can save the emperor from the siege with their desperate efforts! Just now, the emperor should have seen the move of Huguang soldiers forgetting to die! Bai Wang just wanted to persuade Li Zicheng, listen to him, and join forces.
But Li Zicheng is already suspicious of him, the more you persuade, the more Li Zicheng thinks. Do you want to capture him, so as to ask the Manchus for credit? In addition, this bluff is in line with the art of war, and he must carry it out.
He said, "Say nothing! General Bai, I have made up my mind! Do as you are told! Bai Wang cried, he could see that Li Zicheng didn't trust him, could it be that he threw his head and spilled blood for Li Zicheng with his Huguang soldiers, so he couldn't get a little trust?
"General Bai, don't you obey orders?" Li Zicheng raised his voice. Bai Wang could only sigh in the end. Say, "Okay! Emperor! I immediately raised the emperor's dragon banner to attract the Qing army! ”
Li Zicheng nodded in satisfaction. Then he asked with concern: "I don't know what happened to Zhaohou Li Yan!" Did he escape? ”
Bai Wang replied: "Hou Ye Li has led a strong team to rush out of the city!" I think they should be able to safely protrude! ”
"Yes! A strong team! Li Zicheng allocated a part of his Praetorian Guard to Li Yan, he just wanted to keep the hope of the last, even if he died, the Dashun army he had worked so hard to build could not die with him, and the Han people's rivers and mountains could not be robbed by the Tartars!
Li Zicheng is relieved, as long as Li Yan can get out! It's just that Li Zicheng never thought that Li Yan would be killed by Cheng Jiubo.
[Note] In fact, Li Yan escaped from Xiangyang, and he didn't know which way to go, so he walked all the way, so he strayed into Tongshan County and was killed by Cheng Jiubo.
[Note]: Now there is controversy in the historical circles, saying that Cheng Jiubo did not kill Li Zicheng, but Li Zicheng's nephew Li Yan. Cheng Jiubo got Li Yan's sword, and later found that this sword had been engraved with the words "rice fat Li Yan", and the existing sword was rusty, and it was impossible to see what was engraved. And Li Yanjian is different from the discovered Li Zicheng sword, and the grade is not the same thing at all.
In the historical books, it is not certain that Cheng Jiubo killed Li Zicheng. Therefore, the governor of Huchuan, Tong Yang and Jiaqi Zhongyong, were appointed as the experience of De'an Mansion. It's just that Cheng Jiubo has never taken office, he has stayed at home until he dies, and he has no descendants.
Like CCTV's "Exploration. One of the programs "The Mystery of Li Zicheng's Treasure" in the program "Discovery" was also mentioned, and "The Mystery of Li Zicheng's Treasure" has a total of seven episodes. Therefore, in my novel, I will not discuss whether Cheng Jiubo killed Li Zicheng or Li Yan! According to the so-called mainstream view now, it was Li Yanlai who killed Cheng Jiubo and wrote it.
……………………
Li Zicheng nodded to Bai Wang and said, "Okay! Let's go! "Li Zicheng has ordered this, what else can Bai Wang say? He immediately took action, showed Li Zicheng's dragon flag, and shouted: "Emperor Dashun is here!" So he led his army to another way.
Seeing this, Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Okay! Good! So I can stand out from the encirclement! I still think so in my heart: "Bai Wang, seeing you so hesitant!" I really can't believe you! ”
Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng, since you ascended the throne, where has your heroism gone? Why have you become as suspicious as Chongzhen? Your suspicion is the most suspicious, and the Dashun regime has also killed you!
Li Zicheng led his 1,000 Praetorian Guards to break through. Dorgon had been watching the battle, and he could see it clearly.
The generals next to him asked: "Regent, are we commanding the men and horses to besiege Li Zicheng's men?" ”
Dorgon affirmed, "No! This army is definitely not Li Zicheng's! What I heard from their voices was not a Shaanxi accent, but a Huguang accent! Giggle! Li Zicheng trusts his Shaanxi people very much, if he wants to break through, how can he reuse Huguang soldiers to shoulder heavy responsibilities? It's a trick to lure the enemy! The real Li Zicheng must be in ......"
Dolgon's hand wandered, and finally he pointed to an army in the distance, which was very brave, and the Qing army could not take much advantage of one-on-one combat with it.
"Listen!" Dorgon listened, and the shouts rang out: "Kill! Kill! With a happy face: "It's a Shaanxi accent!" ”
Dorgon said, "Yes! This is this army! Look! How heroic! Our Qing soldiers fought against the thief army, and the thief army could often only be five or even more than ten people to fight, but this army was able to fight one-on-one without falling behind, and even had the upper hand! It can be seen from this that this army is Li Zicheng's Praetorian Guard! Assault this army with all your might! Don't let this army escape! ”
Dolgon's observation was quite correct. Duoduo naturally went in person, and he had to kill Li Zicheng.
When Li Zicheng saw it, he gasped, because he saw that it was the banner of Prince Yu and the regent, so it can be seen that the Qing army shifted all its focus on him! See through his plan to lure the enemy!
"Let's go!" Li Zicheng shouted, he turned his horse, and immediately protruded outward, but no matter where he broke through, people everywhere surrounded him densely.
The number of Li Zicheng's Praetorian Guards is getting smaller and smaller, and his situation is getting more and more critical.
Bai Wang had rushed out of Xiangyang City, he looked from afar, and heard the shouts in the city, and it was very intense, he couldn't help but be frightened, he thought that his own army had not suffered many volleys from the Qing army, which only made his worries intensify, because he thought about whether Li Zicheng was already in danger? Focused on by the Qing army?
Bai Wang shouted: "Rush! Rush me back! Save the Emperor! A general quickly came to Bai Wang's side and said, "General, if we go back, we won't even have our lives!" You have to think it through! ”
With a "snap", a saddle was pumped on the face of the general, Bai Wang didn't even look at him, clamped the horse's belly, and shouted: "Rush!" Go back and save the driver! The soldiers looked at each other, only some of them followed Bai Wang to the city, while others dispersed in a hurry, after all, Li Zicheng didn't trust us, why should we die for him?
It can be said that even if Bai Wang rushed into the city, he would not be able to save Li Zicheng, on the contrary, he was very dangerous.
Li Zicheng's 1,000 Praetorian Guards are not simple, the Qing army is powerful, his Praetorian Guards still broke through to the east gate, and rushed out.
As soon as Li Zicheng rushed out of the east gate, he gasped for breath and said: "Even if you can't go to Jiexuan if you run again, as long as you can enter Henan, Zhang Biwu will not do anything to me, and will send me back to the army!" ”
"Whoosh" several arrows whistled by, reminding Li Zicheng that you can't be distracted, now you can only kill quickly first.
No, an arrow came, and Li Zicheng was hit by an arrow in the arm. Li Zicheng only glanced at the arrow on his arm, but fortunately it didn't penetrate deeply.
Xin Sizhong hurriedly came over and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Li Zicheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay!" Keep fighting! I've been through a lot of battles, and I seem to have experienced a lot of these things! ”
Li Zicheng pulled out the arrow, he was a sword with a flower, "Kill with me!" "As soon as he slapped the oolong foal, he drove forward." Kill! "A large crowd of soldiers came out.
"What?" Li Zicheng looked at it, the way was intercepted, and the way back was lost because of the pursuers behind.
"The Lord Regent is here! Li Blind thief, come down! "The first general shouted." It's called I'm surrendering! "Li Zicheng is angry! He will never surrender! I'd rather die in battle!
Li Zicheng is a marksman, even if the opponent's general is far away, he can shoot an arrow quickly, and he is in the middle of the general, he turns over and falls. "Ahh The Qing soldiers were shocked, they were indeed surprised by Li Zicheng's skills, if they knew that Li Zicheng had just been hit by an arrow, although the injury was not serious, it would have somewhat restrained his skills, then the Qing soldiers would have been even more surprised.
