Chapter 597: Chongzhen's Sword Slashes the Horse and Turns into a Leopard (Four Watches)
Wang Chengen changed six horses, running all over sweat, this fat body, trembling all over, the eunuch uniform seemed to have been washed, but it still fell behind the general Li Mou.
A thousand brocade guards and 3,000 cavalry, 20 miles from the city, that is, half an hour's journey, they stopped to catch their breath.
If you don't rest, even if you get to the end of the day, you will give away your head for the thief, and you will be tired and become a dog, how can you have combat effectiveness, and you must rest.
When they got here, it was like an amnesty, and the four thousand soldiers would stagger, no matter where they were, and lay down and fell asleep.
In this wilderness, 4,000 soldiers will lie down like corpses killed in battle, lying horizontally and vertically, all kinds of things, snoring everywhere.
Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, at this time, the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of Sang Kaidi and Chen Qianfu were still more than 70 miles away from Wang Chengen's thousands of men and horses.
"Listen to our family, hurry up and rest, and enter the city before dark." After Wang Chengen shouted this, he didn't know if anyone in his subordinates agreed, so he fell asleep.
Li Mu held a big knife in his hand, leaned on a tree and fell asleep, more than 4,000 soldiers and horses only left a few people to patrol here reluctantly, these patrols, while patrolling and walking, can fall asleep, they are so tired that they are like this......
Night falls.
Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty had a murderous battle with the martial arts masters invited by Ma Luan, and dozens of martial arts masters fled to death, and all disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The 10,000 soldiers and horses under Liu Liangzuo were leaderless, and the chief soldier Ding Dexing was killed, and he commanded Ma Luan to flee.
They didn't care about seizing the city, and they didn't care about chasing and killing Li Yan and the Red Lady, they opened the east gate and the west gate nearby to escape, some fled back from the north gate along the original road, and some hid in the city and didn't dare to come out, so the north gate, east gate and west gate were all wide open.
At this time, Hu Maozhen's deputy general Zhao Yong led 3,000 soldiers and horses from the west gate to surging in, such as entering the no-man's land, after the capital, they went south to kill, ready to outflank Li Yan and their back road.
Almost at the same time.
Zhang Shiyi, another general under Liu Zeqing, chased Li Yan with 10,000 soldiers and horses and came to the east gate.
When I saw that the city gate was wide open and unguarded, I thought it was an empty city plan, and after sending people into the city to investigate, there was not a single soldier in this area.
Zhang Shiyi was overjoyed, and with 10,000 soldiers, he poured into the city and began to commit murder, and they made an appointment with Hu Maozhen and Ma Huabao to wash the city, and they did not know the specific situation in the city.
Therefore, these thieves killed people when they saw them, entered the house when they saw them, took away good things, snatched them away from women, killed them without mercy if they were slightly obstructed, and set a fire to them before leaving, and the crimes they committed were too numerous to mention......
The fighting outside the southern city lasted for most of the day, and it continued at this time.
The sun set, and the light dimmed, but it didn't affect their desperate efforts in the slightest.
Ma Huabao's big knife was aimed at Li Yan's head and slashed down in the air.
At this time, Li Yan couldn't support it anymore and closed his eyes.
At this time, a phantom flew over the city, accompanied by a pale white sword light, and Ma Huabao's head rose into the sky.
At the same time as the head flew out, the big knives in the hands of the headless corpse also fell down.
But at this time, due to the sudden flight of the head, the broadsword of both hands deviated from the target.
Originally, this volley was going to split Li Yan in half.
As a result, the knife clicked and slashed into the battlements of the city wall. The wall bricks beside Li Yan were chopped down, and a gap appeared.
Li Yan slowly fell down.
Almost at the same time, the headless corpse of Ma Huabao also fell, and the blood in his chest sprayed onto the city walls, and some splashed under the city, staining the walls with blood.
The head fell from the sky, and with an incredulous gaze, it swirled, and finally landed in the moat, stirring up a few small murky waves......
The soldiers behind Ma Huabao haven't seen what is going on yet, shouldn't it be Li Yan's head that fell to the ground, why did he become their chief soldier, and his head flew?
In the midst of the panic, a person appeared in front of them, wearing a dragon wide head, wearing a dragon robe, holding a blood-dripping sword of the Son of Heaven, his eyes were like torches, and his face was as cold as iron, staring at them
Sneer.
Suddenly, these people were insane and had any reaction.
Then Chongzhen's steps flashed, his feet were like spirals, and the sword light rose like clouds, and then the sword of the Son of Heaven stopped at the head of the city, and the sword finger was obliquely downward, and the blood fell to the city along the blade of the sword.
Ma Huabao rushed to the head of the city behind countless soldiers, several were dismembered, the rest threw their swords, there was an extra red mark on their necks, fell to the ground, and some planted the city, none of them were spared.
The soldiers who were crawling towards the top of the city were so frightened that their hands loosened, their legs weakened, and they fell off their heads......
The main general Ma Hua Leopard was killed, and all the soldiers who rushed to the city died, and those who climbed down also fell, and the rest of the soldiers were pushed down like a tide.
This is behind Chongzhen, Lu Xiaofeng, Li Miniang, and Red Lady rushed to the city with countless soldiers.
Hu Maozhen, who was immediately on the moat outside the city, had sharp eyes, it was already dark, but he saw Chongzhen at the head of the city at a glance, his face changed suddenly, faint Jun Chongzhen, why did he come?
"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw ......" Hu Maozhen turned his horse's head, his face panicked.
"General, what about Zhao Yong?" The deputy general of his own soldiers said.
"Tell him that there is a change in the city, and that reinforcements from the faint king have arrived, and let him evacuate quickly...... Drive!" Hu Maozhen threw down these two sentences and beat his horse away.
Thousands of soldiers and horses fled with the main general, and soon drowned in the night......
