    Zuo Liangyu led the elite border troops and climbed halfway up the Agate Mountain. They saw a crooked temporary outpost in front of them. Since Zhang Xianzhong had just stationed this mountain, it had not been managed for a few days.  Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong was ready to abandon this place and evacuate at any time, so he naturally did not bother to manage the fortifications on the mountain.

    Not to mention a wooden tower, this small temporary outpost didn't even have a wooden platform. It was just a low wall made of stones and soil. There were a few dozing soldiers behind the wall.

    Zhang Xianzhong was able to survive for more than ten years in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty. In fact, he had certain abilities. The soldiers under his command were not so lack of vigilance, but the thieves did not get the news that the officers and soldiers were approaching. Although a bird came from the foot of the mountain.  However, Zhang Xianzhong thought it was Baishui Zhuba's army, so he did not take careful precautions at all.  If it were really on the verge of war, it would never be possible for the camp to be attacked so easily.

    "Of course he didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Zicheng would work together to sell him out. The soldiers under his command did not get into the nervous mood of the battle. They would inevitably doze off and be lazy while standing guard at night.

    Zuo Liangyu waved his hand, and a dozen elite "Ye Bu Shu" under his command came over. These "Ye Bu Shu" have always been responsible for spying, espionage and other activities among the officers and soldiers, especially in the Liaodong area. They often leave  The land of the Ming Dynasty invaded the territory of the Manchu Tatars to spy on intelligence. Their stealth and concealment skills were truly extraordinary. Although the mountain roads were rugged and difficult, which affected their flexibility, their movements were still vigorous. With the help of rocks and rocks,  Cover of weeds.  More than a dozen Ye Bu Shou rolled into the sentry post. Several sentries inside were dozing off, but their mouths were covered and their throats were cut with a knife.

    Zuo Liangyu went all the way up the mountain and set up several outposts, but was never discovered by Zhang Xianzhong's army on the mountain.  At the third watch, the officers and soldiers finally reached a place close to the top of the mountain. Looking up, they could already see a large camp on the mountain with broken flags flying beside it.  It has the words "Eight Kings of Xiying" written on it.

    But it¡¯s so close.  Finally, he couldn't hide it from the sentry post. Ye Bushou, who was sneaking at the front, was discovered. Dozens of archers actually came out of a small ditch on the mountain and shot down random arrows.  Ye Bushou, who was walking at the front, had four or five arrows inserted into his body in an instant.  Rolling down the hillside.  The officers and soldiers below wanted to reach out and catch him.  But the man rolled too fast and fell from a high cliff in an instant. It was inevitable that he would be thrown into pieces.

    The warning sound sounded on the top of the mountain.  The sound of "empty, empty, empty" echoed in the night sky. Zhang Xianzhong's camp exploded, and many bandit soldiers rushed out of the tent.  Because the bandits were on the move year after year and lived an unstable life, their ability to deal with sudden attacks was also relatively strong.

    It¡¯s not uncommon for someone to suddenly attack the camp in the middle of the night and jump up to fight urgently.  Over the years, they have been afraid of being chased by officers and soldiers. Many soldiers of Zhang Xianzhong's army would not take off their clothes at all when they rested at night, and their weapons were placed in the most convenient position beside the bed. Therefore, as soon as they heard the siren, Zhang Xianzhong's army gathered together instantly.  A few percent of the combat effectiveness.

    Seeing that sneaking was impossible, Zuo Liangyu cursed a few words secretly in his heart. He didn¡¯t know where the left and right roads were now, so he had to order: "Drumroll, up!"

    The road up the mountain was narrow, and it was impossible for the officers and soldiers to immediately form a formation and rush up the mountain. They had to rush up the mountain in four columns. If they rushed up the mountain like this in broad daylight, they would suffer heavy losses. Fortunately, in the middle of the night, Zhang Xianzhong was bullied again.  The army was not on guard, and the charge was much smoother. It only took Zuo Liangyu's army a short cup of tea to break through the mountain gate. The army along the way rushed straight into the camp of the rebels, and then looked around.  set fire.

    The sound of killing on the top of the mountain shook the sky, and the roar was like thunder.

    Zhang Xianzhong was also alarmed at this time. He climbed up from the bed of his concubine Gao, lifted the trembling Gao aside with his kick, then grabbed the big knife and walked out of the tent. He only heard the cry of killing coming from the tent.  Came from the front, climbed up and took a look, and immediately understood the current situation.  He was not in a hurry and ordered loudly: "Give me the order to have the brothers push forward and push the enemy down from the mountain gate. As long as they push them to the mountain road, they will never be able to attack again  "

    As soon as I gave the order, I suddenly heard a roar from the right: "On the right there are also officers and soldiers attacking on the right"

    Zhang Xianzhong turned around and went to see them, and saw a group of officers and soldiers coming out of the mountain road on the right. Judging from their ferocity, they must be the frontier troops under Zuo Liangyu's command.

    Zhang Xianzhong was secretly frightened. If he gathered his soldiers together and forced the front, he might be able to push the officers and soldiers down the mountain. But if they were attacked from two sides, it would be troublesome. If the soldiers were divided into two sides to fight, their combat power would be reduced.  If it is spread thin, it may not be able to push down the elite frontier troops.

    Zhang Xianzhong knew very well that if the officers and soldiers could not be charged,If the leading troops at the top of the mountain push back to the mountain road, more and more officers and soldiers will attack the mountain. Eventually, when things get out of control, the top of the mountain will be full of officers and soldiers, and he will not be able to leave even if he wants to.

    He is also a hero among people. When he saw that the situation was so bad, he first thought of self-protection.  As the saying goes, as long as the green mountains are there, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood. Zhang Xianzhong loudly ordered several leaders to lead their tribes to resist, but he himself did not hesitate to bring his confidants and fight for the return.  No officers or soldiers came to kill him and fled to the left.

    The Gao family who had just been kicked down by him was not far away. Seeing Zhang Xianzhong trying to escape, the Gao family hurriedly chased him a few steps: "Your Majesty, take me with you" This Gao family was Zhang Xianzhong's from a wealthy businessman's home.  The young lady from a rich family who was snatched was quite pretty and had always been favored by Zhang Xianzhong. She had a pair of slender feet and was often praised by Zhang Xianzhong for her beautiful feet.  But when it came time to escape, her little feet were undoubtedly a hindrance. Zhang Xianzhong didn't even look at her, and led his henchmen straight to the left.

    Mrs. Gao chased for a few steps, fell to the ground and cried loudly.  But the scene was chaotic late at night, and no one paid attention to her.  She did not dare to stay outside the camp for fear of being trampled to death by the rebels, so she had no choice but to return to the camp.  There were Ao Shi and six other Zhang Xianzhong's wives and concubines in the camp. The seven women did not dare to move and had to form a group.  Shivering.

    But Zhang Xianzhong fled to the left road. He thought this road was possible, but he didn't expect that when he reached the middle of the mountain, he ran into He Renlong who was slowly climbing up the mountain on the left road.  It turned out that the Shaanxi soldiers led by He Renlong were far less elite than the elite frontier troops under Zuo Liangyu's tribe, and they lacked the powerful Ye Bushou to patrol the outposts in front. Therefore, they moved very slowly. With great difficulty, they reached halfway up the mountain when they heard shouting from the top of the mountain.  When the sound of killing started, it stands to reason that he should speed up the mountain quickly, but he wanted to preserve his strength.  Let Zuo Liangyu take a few more bites of hard walnuts.  He went up to pinch the soft persimmon again, so he continued to climb the mountain slowly and unhurriedly.

    Instead, Zhang Xianzhong was eager to escape and rushed towards him in a hurry.  The two armies met each other on the mountain road.  They were all stunned.  He Renlong obviously didn't expect that the bandits would actually rush towards him Zhang Xianzhong's army was thinking: Not good.  There is also an ambush on the left. Are you trying to catch us all?  I¡¯m going to fuck your grandma, don¡¯t fight at this time.  When will it be more?

    Zhang Xianzhong pointed at He Renlong's tribe and said loudly: "Fuck it, fight with the officers and soldiers" The rebels and soldiers are already fighting from behind. If they can't defeat He Renlong's tribe, they will not be able to break through. The whole army will definitely be defeated.  In the situation of annihilation, everyone was in danger and desperate. A large group of fierce bandits rushed forward. Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son Li Dingguo rushed to the front, and there were three other people nearby who also led the charge. These three  Their names were Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi. They were all fierce and powerful characters. The four generals rushed in desperately, and the brave man won when they met on a narrow road. However, He Renlong was beaten back and forth, unable to parry.

    While the fighting was raging on the top of the mountain, Li Zicheng's troops at the bottom of the mountain were not idle either. Li Zicheng's army also emerged from the cave and slowly reached the vicinity of Li Guoqi's troops under the cover of the ravine.

    Compared with the frontier troops led by Zuo Liangyu and the Shaanxi soldiers led by He Renlong, Li Guoqi's troops can only be called miscellaneous troops. Quite a few of them came from Henan, Huguang, Anhui and other places, with different subordinates and chaotic orders.  .  In fact, Zuo Liangyu also knew that this army could not be used for any big things, so he asked Li Guoqi's troops to support him at the foot of the mountain.

    At this time, Li Guoqi was raising his head, looking at the Agate Mountain in front of him where the shouts of killing were shaking.

    It is extremely quiet late at night in the mountains, and even the slightest sound can be carried far away, not to mention the sounds of tens of thousands of people shouting and killing. At this time, the shouts of killing coming from the agate echoed in almost all the nearby buildings.  In the ravine, the echoes caused by the collision of sounds between the mountain walls increased the intensity of these killing cries. It seemed that not only Agate Mountain, but also all the nearby mountains were in a state of madness.

    Li Guoqi really hoped that this battle could completely wipe out Zhang Xianzhong, so that he could take off his armor and become an official in the Taiping years again, drinking tea, cursing, and bullying good women from poor families every day. That's it.  Live the rest of his life.  The miscellaneous soldiers under his command also had the same idea. They just wanted the battle on the mountain to end as soon as possible, Zhang Xianzhong to be the leader, and then they would watch Li Zicheng, Zhu Ba, Luo Rucai, Lao Huihui and others finish one by one, and then they could take off their armor and return to the fields.  .

    A deputy general walked up to Li Guoqi and asked in a low voice: "General, why don't we also attack the mountain and help Mr. Zuo"

    Li Guoqi shook his head: "Just wait here." Let others do the work of fighting life and death, and I will do the work of promotion and wealth. This is the way to be an official.

    "It's a pity that Li Guoqi didn't know that in the ravine behind him, Li Zicheng's troops had already begun to quietly deploy.  Li Zicheng personally led the Eighth Army in the center, and on the left was his general Liu Zongmin, who was as close as a brother. Liu Zongmin and Li Zicheng came out of Mizhi to revolt.Liu Zongmin had always been Li Zicheng's right-hand man. When Li Zicheng was away, the command of the invading army was often taken by Liu Zongmin, so people in the army also called him General Liu.

    The right wing was led by Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo. Li Guo, also known as Li Jin, was nicknamed a tiger. He fought like a fierce tiger, fearless of death, and commanded a tiger general.

    The two generals, one on the left and one on the right, quietly surrounded Li Guoqi's troops, then sent people across the ravine to report to Li Zicheng in the middle that they were ready to take action.

    Li Zicheng was not ambiguous and immediately ordered: "Go up!"

    With this order, a flag bearer behind Li Zicheng immediately began to wildly wave a big flag with the word "Chuang" in it. This flag bearer's surname was Hao. Because he was responsible for holding the flag for Li Zicheng, he was also called "Hao Shaking the Flag".  It has no other abilities. Its biggest feature is its strength, its several-meter-long flagpole, and its huge military strength with the word "Chuang" in it.  It weighed dozens of kilograms, but he could lift it all day long, shaking it from time to time. This strength was something to be proud of.

    In fact, this man was also a general. After Li Zicheng's death, Hao Yaoqi and Li Guo joined the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty. They were named Marquis of Nan'an by the Southern Ming Dynasty and renamed Hao Yongzhong. They defeated the Qing army in Hunan and Guangxi many times.  Unfortunately, he was later excluded and discriminated against by the bureaucrats of Nanming, and was unable to play a decisive role.  In the second year of Kangxi's reign, he was captured and killed by the Qing army.

    Hao waved the flag.  The drummers behind immediately beat the drums. The sound of the drums in the darkness was the signal. Liu Zongmin and Li Guo, who were ambushing on the left and right, immediately led their troops to fight out.  Li Zicheng's Lao Babu also hurriedly moved forward.

    Three armies rushed out of the darkness.  Li Guoqi was immediately shocked.  His men were originally a ragtag group of people.  When attacked in the dark, their reaction was not as fast as Zhang Xianzhong's men. When they saw the enemy coming, the Shanxi soldiers rushed forward.  The soldiers from Henan hesitated to attack, but the soldiers from Huguang turned around and ran away before talking Before the two armies fought, the military formation was already in chaos.

    Li Guoqi was so surprised that he couldn't see the flag of the rebel army clearly in the darkness, so he had to catch a spy next to him and asked: "Where did this bandit army come from?"

    The spy couldn't figure it out, so he could only open his eyes and said blindly: "It's Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong slipped down from the mountain somehow"

    Li Guoqi had no doubt that he was there, and quickly shouted: "Set up torches, stand firm, don't mess up! Where are the supervisors? Cut off the heads of the escaped soldiers and bring them over."

    He shouted urgently, and military orders were spread in all directions, which had some effect. The officers and soldiers quickly cheered up and faced the invading army.  The Chuang army was not good at mountain warfare, and Li Guoqi's troops were not good at it either. The two armies were stumbling in the dark, hacking and killing on rugged hillsides, ravines, and woods The officers and soldiers were better at fighting in formations, and here  The fighting power among the mountains and forests was almost the same as that of Li Zicheng's troops. However, Li Zicheng had the numerical advantage and was surrounded on three sides, which put the officers and soldiers at a psychological disadvantage. After such a defeat, Li Guoqi's troops were a little overwhelmed.  , the troops in three directions seemed to be unable to do what they expected, retreating and shrinking towards the center.

    Once defeated, the morale of the army will begin to be unstable, and the entire army will be on the verge of collapse at any time.

    Li Guoqi had no choice but to ask his close servants to shout loudly: "Don't be afraid, there are still troops from Lord Zuo Liangyu and Lord He Renlong on Agate Mountain. As long as they clean up the bandits on the mountain, they will come down immediately to help us."

    But he didn¡¯t know that the situation on the mountain was also very interesting now.

    Zuo Liangyu's tribe on the top of the mountain had achieved a complete victory at this time. Since Zhang Xianzhong fled, leaving the chaotic rebel army behind, the rebel army soon fell into chaos due to the lack of unified command. Zuo Liangyu's army  And they are all elite border troops. They can easily defeat Zhang Xianzhong even in a head-on confrontation, let alone such a sudden attack. Zhang Xianzhong's army was quickly divided by Zuo Liangyu's army into many small pieces that could not communicate with each other.  Fighting, it is only a matter of time before they are all annihilated.

    Zuo Liangyu led a group of close servants and rushed straight to Zhang Xianzhong's camp, hoping to capture Zhang Xianzhong alive and take his head to claim his merits. Unexpectedly, when he entered the camp, he saw that there was no trace of Zhang Xianzhong in the camp.  The remaining seven women hugged each other and shivered.  After asking, I found out that these seven women were Zhang Xianzhong's wives and concubines.

    Zuo Liangyu is not a kind person. The soldiers under his command harass good people, rape and plunder, and do all kinds of evil. He himself has the same temperament.  This time he led troops to pursue the Thirty-sixth Battalion, but the imperial court stipulated that women were not allowed in the army, so Zuo Liangyu had been holding back for a long time. When he suddenly saw a woman, his heart couldn't help but twist.

    Among these seven women, Ao and Gao were especially the most beautiful. Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but laughed twice and said: "Left and right, drive everyone else out of the tent, leaving only these two."  Just stay in the tent, I will personally interrogate them about the whereabouts of Zhang Xianzhong."

     How could his soldiers not understand what he meant?  Immediately, they took all the other women out of the tent, leaving only Zuo Liangyu, Ao Shi and Gao Shi in the tent.  Zuo Liangyu was not polite, stepped forward, grabbed Gao's clothes, and pulled them off.  Mr. Gao has thin skin and white flesh, and he carries himself as a good person, not the same as a stupid country woman.  Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but be dazzled for a while, and a whining beast sound came out of his throat.

    The two women were so frightened that they didn't even know how to resist. They only cried. Zuo Liangyu reached out again and stripped off Ao's clothes. They saw that this woman was also dressed in snow-white, and her appearance was no less beautiful than Ao's.  Gao's.

    He was anxious and pressed the two girls on a desk in the tent. On the desk were Zhang Xianzhong's tiger talisman, engraved gold dragon stick, command flag, command arrows, and money for the divination shop At this time, all of them were  Pushed to the ground.

    The sound of soldiers shouting for death came from outside the tent, and the sad cries of two women came from below. In this situation, the man's animal blood couldn't help but boil, and Zuo Liangyu was no exception. He laughed wildly,  While taking off his armor, he started acting recklessly on the two women.

    A soldier reported outside the tent: "Sir, there are shouts of killing coming from the bottom of the mountain. I don't know what the situation is."

    Zuo Liangyu is pushing his waist hard, how can he have the energy to care about Shanxia?  At that moment, he said vaguely: "I think Zhang Xianzhong must have escaped to the bottom of the mountain and is fighting Li Guoqi. What do they care about what they do? We just care about the top of the mountain Huh It feels so good"
