    The black-barrel gun has an inherent advantage in the darkness, because its barrel is almost completely invisible. The soldiers of the invading army only saw the soldiers of the Zhu army on the opposite side raising their hands, making a virtual stabbing movement, and then tapping into their ears.  Hearing a whoosh, he was shot in the chest. He couldn't even see clearly. How could he resist?

    Someone quickly shouted: "Be careful, they have black spears in their hands."

    Someone else shouted: "Put up the shield, don't worry about where their guns are coming from, set up the shield array."

    If it is a plain, you may be able to set up a shield array and lay it flat to deal with it, but how can you set up a shield array in the mountains?  The complex terrain and the rocks and vines on the ground made it impossible for the soldiers to form a perfect formation. Instead, they were squeezed into a mess. The frontier of the entire army was uneven and undulating.  The soldiers raised their shields, but there was a black-barred gun coming at them silently from the side, which was almost impossible to guard against.

    Someone shouted: "Raise the torch, light up the fire a little"

    However, in a fierce battle, there is no room for the soldiers of the intruders to slowly light the torch. Even if they light it, they have no hands to hold it. Both hands have to wave their weapons desperately to fight the enemy. In this case, holding a torch is not the best.  Are you crazy?  That is simply creating a target for the opponent's archers.

    After a few of the intruder soldiers holding the torches were shot down, the others simply stopped lighting the torches. Even those who had already lit the torches and were holding them quickly threw away the torches.

    ¡°As a result, the invisible black-barred gun became a nightmare for the soldiers of the invading army, who were beaten and retreated steadily.  They were in such a state of embarrassment that they squeezed back, squeezing the friendly troops behind them. The mountain road at night was already very dangerous, and one misstep could cause them to fall to pieces. This squeeze made them even more troublesome.  , many soldiers who were born and raised on the plains fell to the ground and were hit with sharp stones and their heads were bruised and bloody.

    Chaos began to spread, and with it came morale.

    A small leader couldn't help but screamed: "Since Zhu Jun has divided his troops to attack us, they must have also sent people to attack Brother Chuang Wang. Wouldn't it be very dangerous if Brother Chuang doesn't investigate?"

    It¡¯s okay that he didn¡¯t roar, but this roar immediately frightened the leaders next to him.  Someone shouted: "It's not good. Listen quickly. There are shouts of killing from Commander Liu (Liu Zongmin), and they also attacked Commander Liu at the same time."

    "Damn it, what happened to Brother Chuang Wang?"

    "If Brother Chuang Wang is killed by themwewhat should we do?"

    Someone roared angrily: "Fuck! Don't panic. Didn't the fight just start? Of course Brother Chuang Wang is fine."

    Immediately another person responded: "But Zhu Jun is so powerful. His fighting power is so strong. We can't even deal with a general here. Brother Chuang Wang must be dealing with Zhu Ba himself. It's more difficult to fight there. I'm going to help."  Brother Chuangwang"

    "I am coming too¡­¡­"

    There was a chaos in the army. Several generals who were loyal to Li Zicheng slipped out from the flanks and led their troops towards Li Zicheng.  They left the formation without authorization and immediately caused chaos among the troops. Many soldiers who were not afraid at first became afraid now and screamed: "A brother has escaped Do we have to flee too?"

    Li Guo was very worried. He really didn't expect that Zhu Jun would be so good at mountain fighting and night fighting.  When Zhu Jun showed up just now, he thought he didn't need to worry, because although the soldiers of the Chu Army were worse than Zhu Jun when fighting in formation, they were not afraid of Zhu Jun at all in a melee in the mountains. However, he didn't expect that Zhu Jun secretly trained the black pole.  Soldiers are so powerful.  The front line of the Chuang army was easily defeated, and at the same time it caused panic in the entire army, turning the entire situation upside down.

    "Human nature can be described as strong or fragile.

    If an army is attacked late at night but can hold its ground and defeat the enemy, then they will become stronger and nothing can shake their will.  But if an army is at a disadvantage when attacked in the middle of the night, they will scare themselves and become more suspicious in the unfavorable direction.

    This is the weakness of human nature and no one can avoid it.

    The invading army under Li Guo was now in a similar mood. As Xu Renjie's military formation continued to advance, pushing the invading army under Li Guo to stagger, the soldiers became less and less courageous.  I was afraid that the other two armies, namely the armies of Liu Zongmin and Li Zicheng, would also be defeated by the enemy, and it would be all over.

    Just when they started to panic, another cry of killing suddenly sounded in the darkness, and the direction of Li Zicheng's central army finally became noisy Li Guo turned his head and looked in that direction, and couldn't help but have a flash of panic in his eyes.  : Uncle Chuang, you must be fine.

      Before counting the time for hot tea, Li Zicheng watched with a smile as the intruders chased Li Guoqi's men further and further away. He couldn't help but have a look of pride in his eyes: Sure enough, the choice to deal with Li Guoqi was right.  This soft persimmon is really easy to pinch.

    He couldn't help but look up at the Agate Mountain next to him. He only heard the shouts of killing still coming from the top of the mountain. He knew that Zuo Liangyu was still fighting fiercely with Zhang Xianzhong's men on the top of the mountain, but the shouts on the top of the mountain had become much quieter.  , it seems that Zhang Xianzhong's department is almost finished.  He raised his ears and listened carefully to the left road, where there were also faint shouts of killing.  In fact, it was the sound made by Zhang Xianzhong and his four adopted sons rushing towards He Renlong's tribe, but Li Zicheng thought it was the sound made by He Renlong and Zhu Babu during the battle.

    He couldn't help laughing and said: "After this battle, the officers and soldiers, Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhu Ba were all severely defeated. Only our army was intact. Hehehe When it gets bright tomorrow, I will bypass Agate Mountain and rush straight to Guangyuan.  , seize Guangyuan from Zhu Ba, and then take advantage of the situation to invade Shaanxi, Shaanxi will be my territory, hahahaha."

    Young Master Li Yan walked out from behind Li Zicheng. A strange color flashed across his handsome face, and he whispered: "Brother Chuang Wang, I always have a strange feeling in my heartZhu Ba gave up Li Guoqi's troops to us, and he also gave us up."  That¡¯s too generous.¡±

    Li Zicheng frowned. It¡¯s not like he hadn¡¯t thought about this possibility.  But carefully recalling the process of Zhu Ba giving up Li Guoqi's ministry to him, he felt that it was not incomprehensible. That bastard Zhu Ba even brought up the matter of Gao Jie and the Xing family to make fun of him, which showed that he did have the intention to steal Li Guoqi's ministry.  But my skin is not as thick as my own.

    He made a reassuring gesture to Li Yan and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter! Zhu Ba likes to be a good person and save face, so it makes sense that he can't compete with me."

    Mr. Li Yan nodded, still feeling a little strange in his heart.  But it was hard to say anything else later. At this time, Li Zicheng suddenly asked: "Brother Li Yan, you have talents in the world. I want to ask you a question. If we take over Shaanxi, will we manage Shaanxi according to Zhu Ba's way?"  Should we manage it, or should we manage it according to the plan we promoted without paying grain?" He has not yet been able to take charge of Shaanxi.  He first began to consider the government affairs after taking over Shaanxi.

    Li Yan heard this.  He thought about it seriously and said: "I heard that Zhu Ba managed Shaanxi very well. Many methods are very good, but we can't use his methods, we must follow the propaganda of not paying food. We are thirty-six  The camp had done a lot of burning, killing and looting in the past. People all over the world regarded us as savage beasts. If we want to change this image, we must effectively implement the policy of not paying foodso as not to leave the common people with an intruder who cannot speak.  A bad impression."

    Li Zicheng nodded and said with a smile: "This is exactly what I want. I have to collect taxes to govern the people. That would be too troublesome. It is easier to ask for money directly from the homes of wealthy businessmen and officials, hahahaha!"

    Li Yan responded, feeling vaguely that something was wrong, but he couldn't put it into words.  It seemed that there was some serious flaw in the idea of ??"not paying for food" that he proposed to King Chuang, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

    In fact, we can't blame Li Yan for not thinking about it, because after all, he is just a little scholar. He has never experienced the major affairs of the government and has not been exposed to the level of managing the country. His thoughts are also limited. He only knows that it is for the good of the people, not  Paying food can reduce the burden on the people, but he didn't think about how a country without taxes can survive Of course, he is a talented person. Although he didn't expect this, he could vaguely feel that something was wrong, and he just needed someone to point him out.  One handful and you can integrate them all.

    At this time, Li Zicheng's elite Laoba team was chasing Li Guoqi, but Li Zicheng himself did not follow him. He only took a few hundred confidants behind to chat with Mr. Li Yan.  Surrounding these hundreds of confidants, there are thousands of troops ready. As for the old, weak, sick, disabled and women and family members of the intruders who are unable to fight, they are all arranged in a large cave a few miles away.

    Li Zicheng had a relaxed look on his face. Suddenly, he frowned and felt an inexplicable cold air coming from behind This feeling was so mysterious that it couldn't be explained clearly with words. It could only be said to be an intuition. That was  The intuition he developed after traveling around the world for more than ten years, fighting everywhere, and being chased like a dog by officers and soldiers, could always warn Li Zicheng in advance before a crisis came, allowing him to make adequate preparations, allowing him to survive in many situations.  In the years of life as a wandering bandit, every danger was turned into good fortune

    The above paragraph is rather mysterious, but in fact it may not be mysterious to put it bluntly.  You must know that in the mountains and forests, there are always birds chirping, insects singing, and nighthawks singing but a nocturnal army will suppress all these sounds, because the insects in the grass will not sing when there are people around.  .  The night forest is extremely huge. Even if a few people or hundreds of people sneak around in the night, it is impossible to suppress the birds and insects in the entire mountain forest.  But a giant with thousands of??When sneaking in the night forest, it is enough to crush an entire hill without making a sound.

    What does it feel like when a whole mountain is quiet?  It's a frightening feeling of oppression, enough to chill anyone's heart!

    What Li Zicheng felt was the strange tranquility behind him. This tranquility contained murderous intent, making him intuitively feel unsafe.  He suddenly turned around, pointed back and said: "Be careful behind you! Someone is coming!"

    Li Yan was stunned when he heard this: "Is there someone behind you?" This man was indeed a talented military strategist. He only exclaimed four words in surprise, and then immediately said: "I understand, Zhu Ba is here."

    Li Zicheng was not an energy-saving lamp. The moment he felt the murderous intent, he had already woken up and shouted: "No, Zhu Ba is attacking behind us. He ordered the Lao Ba team in front to come back quickly and wave the flag  Drum light the torch don't fight Zhu Ba's army head-on. Run forward with the whole army, catch up with Lao Ba's team in front and then turn around to fight"

    A series of orders came from Li Zicheng's mouth. This man is worthy of being a hero of his generation.  Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just completed the layout and had not yet had time to order the charge, could not help but secretly praise his quickness in seeing things and quick response.  He also knew that it was easy for the enemy to sneak up on the enemy's rear in the mountains late at night and detect it from the chirping of birds and insects. However, the opponent was a bandit army, not a regular officer and soldier. He had to try this trick to see if it would work.  Makes sense.  Now we know the resultit won't work for Li Zicheng.

    Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frowned and said: "Drum roll, chase after me!"

    Li Zicheng's army and Zhu Yuanzhang's army remembered the sound of drums at the same time, and they wanted to run forward as quickly as possible, hoping to meet up with the elite Lao Eighth Army.  On the other hand, they are desperately trying to catch up.  They want to kill Li Zicheng, the king of thieves, before he merges with his main force.

    Zhu Jun¡¯s soldiers had been training in the mountains of Guangyuan for half a year. By this time, they were very familiar with the rugged mountain roads and could walk as fast as flying.  But this group of soldiers under Li Zicheng had only entered Sichuan from the Central Plains not long ago.  He was constantly being chased by officers and soldiers, running like a dog.  There was simply no time for hill training.  As soon as they started running, they were immediately distinguished.

    Zhu Jun¡¯s soldiers walked big and fast, but Chuang Jun¡¯s soldiers seemed a little timid.  Mountain forest at night.  One misstep would result in a bloody head fall. The soldiers dared not run boldly, but even Li Zicheng himself had to control his speed and know the foothold with every step before he dared to take a step forward.

    Within a short time, Zhu Jun was close to several dozen feet.

    "Fuck!" Li Zicheng glanced back, feeling guilty.  At this time, Mr. Li Yan, who was running beside Li Zicheng, suddenly slipped and fell to the ground.

    Li Zicheng was shocked. This man was a top-notch military advisor. How could he be left here? He quickly reached out to pull him out. Unexpectedly, there was a ravine one foot deep next to where Mr. Li Yan fell. There was also a small stream flowing at the bottom of the ravine.  Li Yan fell down and caused a splash of water. He could not hold Li Zicheng's hand.

    Li Zicheng stamped his feet, made a decisive decision, gave up on Li Yan, and continued running forward.  He just thought: If I join Lao Ba's team, come back and defeat Zhu Ba, I can come back to find Mr. Li Yan. If I am killed, then everything will be over. What's the use of rescuing him?  ?

    It was time for another cup of tea. Zhu Jun's vanguard had already caught up with Li Zicheng's rear formation. With their spears raised, the soldiers behind them fell to the ground. Some soldiers who could not bear to be killed in vain turned around and fought with Zhu Jun.  The soldiers fought hard, but they fought independently and in an unorganized manner, unable to play any role at all. As soon as they turned around, they were stabbed down by Zhu Jun.

    A soldier from the breakout army was running, but suddenly he stopped running. He threw down the weapon in his hand and ran back on his own initiative. He said loudly: "Brother Zhu Ba, I'm here to surrender to you. My family is here."  Shaanxi is following you to beg for food. I don¡¯t want to lose my life for no reason, so it¡¯s better to follow you"

    It turned out that some of the older soldiers in the Chuang Army had their family members sent to Tongguan by the old Chuang King Gao Yingxiang and handed over to Zhu Ba. They had no objection to Zhu Bajun. They had always thought that Zhu Jun and the Chuang Army were inseparable.  It doesn't matter if they are friendly forces.  Now that Zhu Jun suddenly fell out with Chuang Jun, they had to think about which side they should be on. People, of course, would always have their families in their hearts. Since his wife, children, and children all followed Zhu Ba, why shouldn't he?

    Zhu Yuanzhang's dirty trick had a huge effect at this time. As the intruders ran, the number of people began to decrease sharply. Many people knelt down, threw away their weapons, and raised their hands to express their willingness to follow Zhu Yuanzhang.  Walk.

    Half of the thousands of people around Li Zicheng were gone in one fell swoop, and even dozens of his most trusted soldiers fell towards Zhu Jun.

    Li Zicheng was so filled with hatred that he couldn't help complaining to Gao Yingxiang, the old king: "It's all your fault for giving your family to Zhu Ba. Is there something wrong now? It seemsMy Laoba team is the most reliable. They all followed me out of Mizhi. As long as I join the Laoba team, there is nothing that can defeat me.  "

    Since people kept surrendering, Zhu Jun who was chasing after him was undoubtedly much more relaxed. After almost no decent battle, the leading troops had already caught up not far behind Li Zicheng.  The leading general is none other than Ma Xiaotian!

    In fact, in most cases, Ma Xiaotian has no chance to participate in the war and must always stay with Zhu Yuanzhang to protect him.  But this time it was different. There were not many generals brought into Sichuan by Zhu Yuanzhang, and they had to be divided into three sides to fight against Li Zicheng's three troops at the same time. Wang Er and Xu Renjie were both separated, and the red lady had already left the army and did not know where to go.  Where.

    There was no general in the army, so Liao Hua was the vanguard. Ma Xiaotian, the Liao Hua, stepped forward and became the vanguard general of the Chinese army.

    Li Zicheng's face darkened, and the flag bearer behind him, Hao Yaoqi, quickly said: "Brother Chuang Wang, you go first, brother, I will take the rear for you."

    Li Zicheng was not polite, he just patted Hao Yaoqi hard on the shoulder and said: "Brother, take care, don't die."

    Hao Yaoqi laughed loudly: "You can't die!" He turned the big flag in his hand sideways and handed it to one of Li Zicheng's guards. He picked up an iron gun and took nearly a hundred brothers with him to the mountain road.  middle.  He was already tall and muscular, and now he was standing guard with an iron gun, but he also had a man guarding the barrier, and he had an aura that no one could stop.

    Hao Yaoqi yelled: "Who wants to touch my eldest brother! Step over my body, Hao Yaoqi."

    At this time, Ma Xiaotian happened to be chasing after him with a group of old brothers from Baishui. Hearing this roar, he laughed and said: "Do you like to be stepped on? Okay, I will help you."
