Chapter 206: To Nanjing

Li Xing's feather arrow was about to hit the general's face, but unexpectedly, an arrow flew from the side and knocked Li Xing's arrow down.

I don't want to, there are such marksmen in the Qing army!

No wonder Li Zicheng's Dashun army was chased all the way from Shaanxi to Henan.

The Han officer hurriedly retreated, and the Qing general who shot arrows showed off his might in front of the battle, running back and forth, challenging the Dashun army.

But the Dashun army is a person who is afraid of being beaten by the Qing soldiers, who dares to go out to meet the enemy.

When the Qing general saw the deep ditch barrier here, he didn't dare to go out, but there were a few soldiers standing on the high cliff, presumably some leaders, so he took a long arrow and shot at Li Xing.

Seeing that the arrow was carrying the sound of the wind, with a "snort", it had already flown to the front door, Li Xing waved his long sword, cut the arrow into two parts, and fell to the ground.

The Qing general brandished a big knife, and he didn't know what he was talking about, probably not a good thing.

A group of men and horses had already rushed down the mountain and killed the Qing general.

There were ten people in this team, and the Qing general didn't want help, so only one person came to meet these ten people.

These ten people are also strong generals, and they rushed to the front, surrounded the Qing general, and cut them with a sword. The Qing general relied on his own courage and fearlessness, rode on a horse, rushed left and right, and the long knife in his hand also waved in all directions, forcing the Dashun soldiers not to dare to move forward.

At this time, the young general who led the team also had some skills, and when the Qing general turned around, he rushed to the horse and cut the horse with a knife.

The Qing general knew that as soon as the horse was mentioned, the young general's long knife was cut off, and the horse was in the air, and the Qing general was in mid-air, with an arrow in his right hand, and an arrow was shot at the young general.

With a "whoosh", the young general was shooting into the shoulder socket, and the young general was in pain and hurriedly ran away. Seeing that the young general was wounded and fled, the Dashun soldiers suddenly lost their sharpness and fled towards the hillside.

No matter how brave this young general was, he couldn't stop it, watching the nine soldiers flee back.

At this time, the Qing general had already reined in his horse, turned his head, and fired a series of arrows, wounding three or four Dashun soldiers on the spot.

Here, when I saw it on the mountain, I hurriedly commanded a large number of Dashun soldiers to rush down the hill.

These tens of thousands of Dashun soldiers surrounded more than 100 Qing soldiers in the heart of the wall, and fought for a while.

I saw that the flesh and blood were splashed, and these more than 100 Qing soldiers were mixed in the Dashun soldiers, which made the people here jealous and did not dare to open their bows and shoot arrows.

On the side of the Dashun army, Li Xing led the heroes of the rivers and lakes to rush down, and specially selected Qing soldiers to kill.

Where are these Qing soldiers the opponent of these good hands in the rivers and lakes, they fled one after another, and the Dashun army here took a bow and arrows and shot at the Qing soldiers, and for a while, several Qing soldiers fell off their horses.

Fortunately, this group of Qing soldiers rode fast horses, and they ran out of range in the blink of an eye, but they also shot down more than a dozen Qing soldiers.

This group of Qing soldiers was no match for the Dashun soldiers, so they had to retreat to Luoyang.

Fortunately, a large number of Qing soldiers are still near Luoyang, and it is still safe here.

Li Zicheng arranged the Dashun troops, but he did not return to the county seat, so he lived in the camp on the hill and discussed with the generals day and night.

Yang Shucheng saw that Li Zicheng and other generals were busy, but he was fine.

He went to find Chen Shaoyong, he was sad about the death of his disciple, and he was not in a good mood to stay with Yang Shucheng more.

Then He Jinhua led a female soldier alone, and he was not idle, Yang Shucheng couldn't even enter her barracks, let alone talk to her.

Only Fang Xiaoli came over to stay with Yang Shucheng in her busy schedule, but after a while, a female soldier came to invite her back to the barracks.

Spent the night. At dawn the next day, Li Xing came to find Yang Shucheng, and the two sat in the barracks, drinking wine and eating a pot of stewed goat meat.

Li Xing analyzed Yang Shucheng and got information that the Qing soldiers were leaving Luoyang to attack the Dashun soldiers.

Now Li Zicheng feels that Deng County is too small to be used as a foundation, and he wants to attack Nanyang City to fight against the Qing soldiers, but the Qing soldiers are now full of morale and unstoppable, and the next step is to go to the south in order to make a comeback.

Now, the Qing soldiers are strong, I heard that King Xiaofu has become the emperor in Nanjing, we want to unite with him to fight against the Qing soldiers, thinking that you and he are friends in distress, I want to ask you to express Li Zicheng's meaning.

"Will he say yes?" Yang Shucheng was a little hesitant, after all, the two families were enemies, Li Zicheng also cooked his father and ate it, and forced Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself.

This is the first emperor to hang himself from ancient times to the present.

Li Xing analyzed to him that the Qing Dynasty had already sat in the capital, became the emperor, and sent two armies to seize our Han rivers and mountains, all the way to chase our Dashun army, and the other way from Shandong, the troops only reached the Huai River, and wanted to attack Nanjing City. Although we have a common enmity with the Zhu family, we are now facing a common enemy, and I think he should consider what we mean.

Yang Shucheng asked, "Am I going alone?" He was worried that if he went alone, the task would be heavy, and if there was a mistake on the way, the loss would be great.

Li Xingdao: "I'll accompany you with General Bai Yuyao." ”

"Okay, when are you leaving?"

Li Xing said: "The situation is urgent, after drinking, we will set off." ”

When he said this, where can he still eat mutton and drink wine, he immediately got up.

Li Xing walked out of the tent. After a while, he and Bai Yuyao came on horseback, both of them carrying a big burden behind their backs, which was the gold, silver and jewelry that they could give gifts after arriving in Nanjing.

Bai Yuyao's wife, Liu Yuqin, also came on horseback. Bai Yuyao wanted to send her back to Liujiazhuang first.

A group of four people, galloping on horseback.

Yang Shucheng didn't have time to say goodbye to He Jinhua and Fang Xiaoli, so he asked a big Shun soldier next to him to tell him on his behalf.

The four of them rode horses, came to the south, walked from Henan to Hubei, followed Tongbai Mountain, and came towards Dabie Mountain.

I walked for more than 20 days and came to Liujiazhuang in Dabie Mountain. In Zhuangnei, Bai Yuyao told Emperor Dashun that he was driven out of the capital, and was chased and killed by Qing soldiers all the way, so he had to send Liu Yuqin back, and he had to go to Nanjing.

I will travel far away and live in Liujiazhuang for a few days. On this day, after breakfast, the three of them turned on their horses and came to the east.

I rode until late afternoon, when I came to a restaurant, sat in the restaurant, and handed over the horse to the shopkeeper to feed.

Sitting in the restaurant, they asked for a large pot of pig's head meat and a large pot of wine, and the three of them sat and drank.

At this time, I heard the people in the restaurant say that it turned out that Zuo Liangyu, who was stationed in Wuchang, had left Wuchang and led an army of 200,000 to go along the river towards Nanjing, saying that he wanted to "clear the king's side" and kill Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, two traitors who misled the country, and now it has been more than 20 days.

Li Xing was shocked when he heard this, and he whispered to the two: "Now that the Ming Dynasty is fighting among themselves, they will be taken advantage of by the Qing soldiers, what can I do!" ”

Yang Shucheng saw that he was in a hurry, he had usually been calm, but today he was in a panic, and things must have reached the point of being out of control, so he said to him:

"General Li, is there any remedy?"

General Li Xing pondered for a while, and then said: "Let's not go to Nanjing first, now quickly turn south, catch up with Zuo Liangyu, persuade him to turn back to Wuchang, and become a horn with Nanjing, involving a part of the Qing army, so as to relieve the pressure on Nanjing." ”

The plan was decided, and the three of them finished their wine, and without further delay, they turned on their horses and came to the southeast.

It wasn't until the evening that I found an inn to rest.

On the second day, the three of them had a brief meal, and then rode southeast on horseback.

At this time, I heard the legend of passers-by that Zuo Liangyu's army had been stationed in Jiujiang and had stopped.

Li Xing calculated the distance, and in seven or eight days, he could catch up with Zuo Liangyu.

At this time, I also heard that in order to deal with Zuo Liangyu, who was down the river, the Nanjing Imperial Court withdrew the three-way army stationed in Huaibei to prevent the Qing soldiers from withdrawing westward.

Li Xing and the three of them didn't dare to delay, and came all the way to Jiujiang.

On this day, I came to a county town by the river, this county town was not swept away by the war, the city was still intact, and the people were still living and working in peace and contentment.

The three of them found a big restaurant and sat in it to drink.

The city was on the edge of the Yangtze River, and the three of them asked for a few plates of fish and vegetables from the Yangtze River and drank wine.

The three of them looked outside the door and were drinking, and a group of people came from the street, and when Li Xing looked up, his face immediately changed.

Yang Shucheng saw that Li Xing's face had changed, and he hurriedly looked out, and when he glanced at this group of people, he was also surprised, and hurriedly lowered his head, for fear that the group would see it.
