Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Ma Xiaotian held an iron gun and rushed towards Hao Yaoqi.  Ma Xiaotian looked particularly energetic today. In order to facilitate his movement in the mountains and forests, he did not wear heavy armor and only wore a set of purple mandarin duck battle coats. But he is a general after all, and this outfit provides more protection than ordinary Zhu Jun soldiers.  .  Armor pieces were sewn on important places such as the shoulders, heart, back of the heart, waist and ribs to prevent these important parts from being hit.

    These nail pieces were sewn on by the little mute himself. The stitches were dense and the sewing was done with great care.  He no longer had any emotional concerns in his heart, and his whole body was calm, so his energy and spirit were higher than before.  As the saying goes, everything goes well when the family is in harmony. After Ma Xiaotian has a stable home and a woman who loves him, he seems to be much more stable than before. Now his whole body exudes a sense of vigor, which is the result of being a man.  The momentum that a young boy lacked.

    Now when he recalled the silly actions he performed when he was obsessed with the red lady, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

    He stabbed Hao Yaoqi who was blocking the road with one shot. The tip of the gun collapsed straight, and the whole person was like a dragon exploring the sea, with extraordinary momentum.  Hao Yaoqi saw this move and he was so anxious that he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy and quickly brandished his gun.  Only a loud "dang" sound was heard. Hao Yaoqi did not move at all, but Ma Xiaotian was so shocked that he almost lost his iron gun and took three steps back.

    With just one move, he knew that his opponent was stronger than him.

    Hao Yaoqi was Li Zicheng's flag bearer. He carried a big flag up the mountain all day long. The flagpole of the big flag was made of iron. The flag was several feet wide and weighed as much as Prince Guan's Qinglong Yanyue Sword.  I have followed Li Zicheng from morning to night, holding that big flag, for almost ten years.  Can the arm strength not be strong?  Even if Wang Er is here, he may not be Hao Yaoqi's opponent in Pinmangli, and Ma Xiaotian is certainly no match.

    However, in this simple duel, Ma Xiaotian also discovered a shortcoming of his opponent. Although he was strong, his movements were not very flexible.  Although this flag-bearer followed Li Zicheng in the Northern War, he rarely fought with others because he usually stood behind Li Zicheng and waved the flag. Where could he have the chance to fight with others?  Generally speaking, even the flag-bearer is reduced to fighting.  That means Li Zicheng is almost done.

    ??Like this is the case tonight.  This was his first encounter with the Chuang Army, and it was a rare occasion for this powerful flag bearer to abandon the flagpole and pick up an iron gun. He had not fought against anyone for many years.  The movements are inevitably unfamiliar.

    A sneer flashed across the corner of Ma Xiaotian's mouth: "A strong man. What's there to be afraid of? Look at the gun!" He learned his marksmanship from Zhu Yuanzhang.  There are not many changes, but the power is great. It is a murderous marksmanship in actual combat.  One shot thrust out.  Can't see any Guns N' Roses.  Hao Yaoqi saw that this move made him very old, so he didn't care and just shot him across the face like before.

    But with a flick of his wrist, Ma Xiaotian actually dropped the attack direction of the spear tip from left to right, from top to bottom in mid-air. The spear tip changed from stabbing Hao Yaoqi's left chest to stabbing him at a strange speed.  right waist.

    Hao Yaoqi was shocked. It was too late to change his move. He only felt a pain in his right waist, and the tip of Ma Xiaotian's spear had already penetrated his flesh.  He was startled, stamped his toes on the ground, and jumped back.  Ma Xiaotian's shot did not penetrate deeper, but a bloody hole in his waist was already spurting blood outward.

    Hao Yaoqi's expression changed slightly, and he thought to himself: This person is so powerful. I remember he was just a guard beside Zhu Ba. How could he be so powerful in martial arts?

    By this time, the soldiers brought by Ma Xiaotian and the soldiers brought by Hao Yaoqi had already fought together. The Chu army tried their best to cut off Li Zicheng's rear.  However, Zhu Jun tried his best to break through Hao Yaoqi's interception and catch up with Li Zicheng. The soldiers on both sides were red-eyed and fierce with their swords, all pointing at the opponent's vital points. After a few moments, they were already lying down on the ground.  There were dozens of people, including soldiers from both sides.  Of course, most of the people lying down were Chuang Jun. Zhu Jun came well prepared, and he attacked with more troops than Chuang Jun. How could Chuang Jun get an advantage?

    Hao Yaoqi roared angrily, ignoring the wound on his waist, and pounced on Ma Xiaotian again.

    Ma Xiaotian stood up with his gun and said with a smile: "Well done" The tip of his gun trembled and he stabbed Hao Yaoqi. Hao Yaoqi wanted to parry, but Ma Xiaotian's gun turned and stabbed him in the thigh again.  .

    Hao Yaoqi now understood that in terms of strength, he was several miles ahead of his opponent.  But in terms of moves, his opponent is way ahead of him.  He roared angrily, and simply stopped blocking Ma Xiaotian's moves, and used all his strength to fight with Ma Xiaotian. Ma Xiaotian stabbed him in the chest, and he stabbed Ma Xiaotian in the chest.  In this way, Ma Xiaotian's exquisite marksmanship was restrained. Ma Xiaotian was newly married and living a happy life. How could he die together with a reckless man?  As a result, the fight was so difficult that they couldn't break through Hao Yaoqi's defense for a long time.

    After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang came from behind with his team. There was only a narrow road in front of him. Hao waved the flag and guarded it with one man. Ten thousand men were guarding there. His body was already covered with blood.Seven or eight holes were dug by Ma Xiaotian, but none of them were fatal. Hao Yaoqi was covered in blood, but he still fought hard and refused to retreat.  Several soldiers came forward to help Ma Xiaotian and wanted to capture Hao Yaoqi, but the man was really powerful. He swung the iron gun away and no one could get close within a few feet. Even Ma Xiaotian had to avoid his attack for a while.

    When Ma Xiaotian heard the voices from behind, he looked back in his busy schedule and saw Zhu Bage coming. He was also complaining in his heart. Zhu Bage finally assigned him a vanguard mission, but the enemy blocked him here. He couldn't catch Li Zicheng. What's the matter?  Meet big brother face to face?  He was anxious, his marksmanship became even more chaotic, and he couldn't even hold Hao down.

    Zhu Yuanzhang saw it from behind and couldn't help but sigh: "Ma Xiaotian, you are too simple. You only know how to fight with the enemy generals, but you don't know how to fight with wits. If Xu Renjie were here, he would have captured this reckless man long ago.  "After he sighed, he said to his left and right: "Go, get a fishing net and capture this rude fellow."

    Several Zhu Jun soldiers walked over pulling a large fishing net. The black rope on the fishing net was not visible at all in the darkness.  These soldiers took advantage of Ma Xiaotian's retreat and threw the fishing net forward. Hao Yaoqi was caught off guard and was already tightly trapped in the net. Several soldiers went around to tighten the fishing net, and Hao Yaoqi was unable to move.

    When Ma Xiaotian saw this move, his mouth opened wide.  I couldn't speak for a long time.

    Zhu Yuanzhang waved to him: "Why are you standing still? Keep chasing forward."

    Ma Xiaotian suddenly realized it and quickly spread his legs and continued to chase forward.

    At this time, Liu Zongmin was waving his two swords and was having a fierce fight with Wang Er. He had spent decades of hard work on these two swords and had extraordinary attainments. The two swords flew like butterflies through flowers.  With Wang Er's strength, he couldn't help but be overwhelmed and unable to resist.  He was beaten back repeatedly by his rapid attacks.

    Liu Zongmin forced Wang Er to retreat.  Quickly looking around at the situation, I saw chaos everywhere in the woods, but the Zhu Army soldiers clearly had the advantage.  Because Zhu Jun's soldiers are better at fighting in the mountains and forests, they can appear and disappear in the treetops and grass.  Soldiers who invaded the army often lost their lives for no apparent reason.

    Liu Zongmin was frightened.  I dare not continue fighting in the woods.  He quickly gave up on Wang Er and shouted: "Get out, get out of the woods. Go back and join Big Brother's team." Shouting like this in the dark was of no use at all. Most of the soldiers couldn't hear his order.  , only a small group of people around him heard it, and this group of people followed Liu Zongmin and ran backwards. The soldiers in the distance were at a loss and were still fighting to the death, but were knocked down one by one by Zhu Jun.

    Wang Er didn't chase him. After picking up the stragglers of the invading army, he suddenly rushed out in a very strange direction. Liu Zongmin didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling. Anyway, it was better not to chase him.

    Liu Zongmin ran out of the woods and retreated to his original position. He was at a loss and didn't know what to do. Suddenly he heard a cry and an intruder suddenly jumped out of the darkness. This intruder was the core of Li Zicheng's army. From meters  Zhi came out of the mountain and followed Li Zicheng to join the Lao Eighth Army.

    It turned out that Liu Zongmin had just entered Li Guoqing's Chinese Army and was chasing Li Guoqing's Army. Therefore, his position was already in the middle of the battlefield. Li Zicheng's confidant, the Lao Eighth Army, was also chasing Li Guoqing's Chinese Army. He would inevitably run into it.  Liu Zongmin.  Of course, the leader of the Eighth Army was also Li Zicheng's old brother, named Tian Jianxiu, a steady general. Seeing Liu Zongmin's embarrassed appearance, Tian Jianxiu was shocked and said: "Mr. Liu, why are you looking so embarrassed?"  ?¡±

    Liu Zongmin said bitterly: "Zhu Ba's guy attacked me secretly and sent General Wang Er to ambush in the nearby woods and killed many of my brothers."

    Tian Jianxiu was even more shocked and quickly said: "Zhu Ba, why"

    Liu Zongmin said: "Now is not the time for this. Let's quickly return to the army and get close to Brother Chuang Wang."

    Tian Jianxiu woke up and said, "That's right! Team 8, turn around quickly."

    This old Eighth Army was indeed very elite. They all turned around in the darkness. The front army turned into the rear army, and the rear army turned into the front army. Without hesitation, they turned around and ran towards the back. They were Li Zicheng's soldiers from Mi.  The old brothers brought out by Zhi are loyal to Li Zicheng and will never waver under any circumstances. Although it is dark now, with shouts of death everywhere, and they heard that the leader was attacked, ordinary soldiers are afraid that they have lost their way.  , but the Laoba team was still calm, but a little impatient and worried about Li Zicheng's safety.

    They hurriedly ran forward a few steps, and another army came from behind. It turned out to be a tiger named Li Guo. Li Guo also had a look of embarrassment on his face.  He chased them here with a killing cry, and when he saw Tian Jianxiu and Liu Zongmin, Li Guo finally breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Commander Liu, Brother Tian, ??you are fine."

    Liu Zongmin quickly asked: "Li Guo, were you attacked over there too?"

    Li Guo nodded and said: "The generalissimo under Zhu Ba has brought black pole soldiers."He attacked me. The black pole soldiers were really powerful in night battles. I was no match for him, and he chased me all the way here.  "

    Liu Zongmin looked behind him, but saw no one, and asked, "Where is the generalissimo?"

    Li Guo said: "He chased me for a while, then suddenly turned into a nearby ravine and went somewhere."

    Liu Zongmin was shocked: "The same goes for Wang Er. He fought with me for a while, then suddenly turned sideways and didn't know where he went. What is Zhu Jun doing?"

    At this time, Niu Jinxing, the military advisor who had been accompanying Lao Ba's team, suddenly said: "No, Wang Er and the general must have come from the ravine directly in between us and Brother Chuang Wang. They want to block it."  When we go back, we will go back to Brother Wang's way."

    This Niu Jinxing is from Baofeng. He studied poetry and books since he was a child. He was admitted as a scholar at the age of more than 20 years.  Because he raped civilian girls, he was dismissed from the imperial court and exiled to Lushi County.  When Li Zicheng passed through Lushi County.  Niu Jinxing joined the rebel army, and with his knowledge, he became a military advisor in Li Zicheng's army. However, Li Zicheng liked Li Yan more, so he took Li Yan with him and asked Niu Jinxing to follow the Eighth Army.

    This person¡¯s character was not very good. In the original history, it was Niu Jinxing who instigated the relationship between Li Zicheng and Li Yan, causing Li Zicheng to kill Li Yan.  Character and ability are irrelevant.  His ability to make suggestions is not bad.

    Hearing Niu Jinxing's words, Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, and Li Guo were all shocked, and quickly ordered: "The whole army should run, hurry up hurry back"

    But it was only then that they reacted.  It's too late.  He ran forward not far.  They saw a mountain of black shadows on a hill in front of them. Wang Er and Xu Renjie had joined forces and set up a solid line of defense here.  It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement for the two of them was to first attack Liu Zongmin and Li Guo secretly.  Defeat them for a while.  Then, using their eagerness to return to aid Li Zicheng, they set up defenses on the inevitable return route. This would cause the soldiers to be psychologically shaken, and they could be easily eaten.

    However, God is not as good as man, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that Lao Ba's team would join them at this time. Liu Zongmin and Li Guo had another Tian Jianxiu and Lao Ba's team here. If they wanted to eat them, they would  It may not be so easy anymore.

    Seeing the strong enemy blocking the way ahead, Tian Jianxiu said without hesitation: "Lao Ba team, rush over, we must catch Brother Chuang Wang!"

    "Kill!" Laoba team roared in unison, with overwhelming momentum.

    This shocked Wang Er and Xu Renjie on the hill. They did not expect that Liu Zongmin and Li Guo, who had just been defeated by them, would still have the strength to roar with such murderous momentum.

    "Charge!" Lao Ba's team rushed towards Zhu Jun's position bravely. Both armies began to fire arrows. In the darkness, the arrows were invisible at all. The arrows were flying randomly among the two armies. Will they be shot?  It all depends on luck.  Whether you will fall down after being shot depends entirely on your physical strength and will.

    The will of Lao Ba's team was not inferior to that of Zhu Jun. This wave of rush actually made them rush forward. The black-pole soldiers waved their black spears and stabbed at Lao Ba's team of Chuang Army.  The black gun barrel left no trace under the cover of night. They had used this move to defeat Li Guo just now, but it was not necessarily effective when used on Lao Ba's team.

    The men of the Lao Eighth Army couldn't see the incoming black spears, so they simply didn't look at them. They also straightened up the spears in their hands and struck hard at the black shadows of the Zhu army soldiers. It was like a picture of life-threatening.  Life-changing play.

    Only screams were heard, and soldiers from both armies fell down at the same time.

    Xu Renjie's heart suddenly ached. He had spent a lot of effort to train these black-armed soldiers. It was a pity to use them to exchange lives one-on-one with others But when the war reached this point, he had to retreat.  It's impossible. If you don't fight to the death, you will be stepped on.

    Zhu Jun could not let Lao Ba¡¯s team take a step beyond the enemy¡¯s control here, and Lao Ba¡¯s team had to break through Zhu Jun to join Li Zicheng. Both armies had no room for change and had to fight for blood.

    Xu Renjie pulled out his musket from his arms, without even bothering to aim it, and fired randomly at the intruder's position under the hill, roaring: "Fuck you, killkill all of you bastards."  ¡­¡±

    By coincidence, the gun flew past Niu Jinxing's face and killed an intruder soldier behind him.  Niu Jinxing was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and her eyes couldn't help but turn rapidly.

    Li Zicheng was running wildly, and there were only less than a hundred guards left behind him.  The sky is too dark and the mountain roads are too complicated. As you run, there will be dozens or hundreds of fewer people around you. Moreover, the pursuers behind are getting closer and closer, and the soldiers who are lagging behind will soon be chased.The soldiers were drowned, and they let out bursts of miserable howls before they died.

    Li Zicheng did not dare to stop for a moment, and kept running forward with his head down, hoping to meet up with the Lao Eighth Team, and then he could stand upright. However, as he was running, a huge roar suddenly came from ahead.  .

    Li Zicheng pricked up his ears and heard it, and he heard that the word "kill" full of momentum was shouted by his most elite Lao Eighth Team. These old brothers from Mizhi were Li Zicheng according to his own rules.  They are elites trained by their years as soldiers in the army, and they have been fighting with Li Zicheng for ten years in troubled times. These ten years have tempered their will and made them the most courageous warriors.

    Hearing their powerful voices, Li Zichen should have been happy, but he couldn't be happy because he knew that since the Lao Eighth Team had shouted the word "kill", it meant that they had encountered an enemy.

    Since Zhu Ba arranged an army to ambush him, he naturally also arranged an army to ambush Lao Ba's team. This matter should have been thought of long ago, but he escaped in too hasty and forgot such an important thing.

    Li Zicheng raised his head and looked at the dark hills ahead. He felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. He thought to himself: If Zhu Bajun cannot stop the Lao Eighth Army, I will immediately see figures appearing on the hills ahead.  , that is, the Laoba team turned over to pick me up.

    However, what awaited Li Zicheng was deep despair. The Eighth Army was unable to climb over the hill. They were blocked on the other side of the mountain by elite black soldiers led by Xu Renjie and Wang Er. They tried their best but could not break through Xu Renjie.  and Wang Er's line of defense.

    Li Zicheng heard the word "kill" from the Lao Eighth Army mixed with Zhu Bajun's "Hey ha". The east wind refused to let the west wind, and the fight was inextricable. He knew that he could not count on the Lao Eighth Army coming to pick him up. If he continued  Running forward, he was greeted by Xu Renjie's rear army. With the hundred or so troops around him, if he went up, he would die.

    There were interceptors in front and pursuers behind Li Zicheng sighed and said helplessly to the closest guards: "We can't rendezvous. I believe Liu Zongmin, he will take the Eighth Army to a safe place. We  Protect yourself first." He looked around carefully for a while, and finally made a bold decision: "Flee through the ravine to the north"
