Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Zhang Lei learned about what was going on behind him, not only did he not show any fear, but he also showed a smile.

    But Li Zicheng was different. Like Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng wanted to kill Zhang Lei, so he didn't think about anything else. What's more, he was dizzy with the successive victories.

    Li Zicheng and the others were riding horses, while Zhang Lei and the others were walking. The distance was naturally getting closer and closer. By the time they entered the woods a mile away, Li Zicheng and the others had already caught up with Zhang Lei's team and began to attack the soldiers at the rear.  massacre.

    Zhang Lei didn't look back, as if he had expected all this. He just led the people and ran forward without caring about anything else. Finally, Zhang Lei stopped, because there was no way ahead, green  Vine plants seemed to hang down from a cliff.

    "Zhang Lei, Zhang Lei, now you finally have nowhere to run. You are asking for death." Li Zicheng saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh to the sky. God was really helping me. Zhang Lei actually ran in  A dead end.

    Although faced with the situation in front of him, Zhang Lei did not panic at all. Since there was no way ahead, he walked to both sides. At this moment, he suddenly took out something to blow. That thing  It made a very sharp and harsh sound that could be heard by hundreds of thousands of people at the scene. Those near him and himself were almost deafened by it.

    Hearing this voice, Li Zicheng was stunned and couldn't help but stop on the spot, while Zhang Lei's soldiers seemed to have suddenly received the order and continued to rush forward even faster than before, and then one by one  All disappeared under the vines. In order to stop Li Zicheng and the others from advancing, the last group of people who left kept throwing grenades behind them. Li Zicheng had no choice but to make his men stand still, at least not to let those explosions affect them.  Injuried.  What shocked him even more was that there was still room behind the vines for Zhang Lei and the others to get in.

    After all the energy of the explosion dissipated, Li Zicheng quickly ordered a pursuit.  Otherwise, I'm afraid Zhang Lei and the others would have to run away. After finally chasing them so far, he would be willing to let Zhang Lei suffer a little loss.

    But something happened in an instant. Suddenly there was a huge roar in the silent valley. The continuous roar was so loud that the whole earth was shaking and the entire sky seemed to dim.  The leaves made a sound, the vines swayed, and then fell down as if they had been cut off by something. Countless cannonballs roared out and poured down on Li Zicheng's army.

    When the vines fell, Li Zicheng finally saw clearly the true face in front of him.  It turned out to be a huge rock extending out from the front, but the bottom was recessed, with vines hanging from it. It looked like a cliff, but it was actually a curtain.

    Seeing these things, Li Zicheng knew that he had been ambushed.  All of this was carefully designed by Zhang Lei in advance.

    But it was too late to know this now. Those shells in the sky would not give him that much reaction time. They fell into the crowd behind him one after another, and once again made a huge explosion. These explosions were about to explode.  All the people within a foot of the point were blown away, and not even a single corpse of those in the center was left behind. Their deaths were very miserable.

    Those shells have been waiting for a long time, how could they give up so easily?  It was as if a person who had been hungry for a long time suddenly saw a table of luxurious delicacies appearing in front of him.  How could he possibly endure it?  Of course I ate a lot.

    Densely packed shells fell, no one knew how many there were. Everyone was so frightened by the formation that they couldn't even move while standing there.  By the time Li Zicheng came to his senses, there were already countless dead and wounded. Looking around, there were painful howls everywhere.

    From the moment he was ambushed, Li Zicheng knew that he had lost.  He lost completely. Zhang Lei made full use of his pride and complacency after winning a series of victories to lure him here, and he wiped out countless people in the blink of an eye.

    "Run, go back. Retreat." Li Zicheng shouted loudly after he came to his senses. He knew that he could not wait any longer, and there was no way to move forward. For now, he could only retreat, so that he could  If you can reduce your losses and retain your strength, you can fight Zhang Lei again.

    The dull horn sounded, three long and two short, which was the signal to retreat.  Those soldiers had been frightened to death for a long time. When they heard the clarion call to retreat, they turned around and ran away. The sound of explosions everywhere made them wish they had two more legs.

    Li Zicheng also turned the horse's head and started galloping behind.  But what he didn't expect was the range of Zhang Lei's cannons.The flexible steering structure allows these cannons to not only strike at close range, but also to shoot projectiles equipped with multi-stage propulsion far and wide.

    Zhang Lei, who just hid in, will naturally not be idle now. It would be such a waste of time to stand and watch the show during such a good time. He has already led people around the forest and went outside.

    Li Zicheng wants to die now. Really, it¡¯s like he thought about suicide last time, and now he has such thoughts again.  He didn't know how long he had been running. It seemed like a hundred years, but the sound of exploding shells seemed to be chasing him and lingering in his ears, as well as the screams of the wounded soldiers behind him.  There was never a break, soldiers were dying all the time. He didn't know how long this would last, and he didn't know how many of his soldiers would be left after getting rid of these horrible things. He didn't dare to think about it.

    The sound of gunfire from behind suddenly stopped. The trees that could be seen in front were getting sparser and sparse. Li Zicheng got rid of it!  He was excited, he wanted to roar to vent his depression, and he wanted to scream to the sky to congratulate himself on his escape.  But in fact, he didn't do anything. It was not absolutely safe yet. He had to wait until he got out of the woods, so that he could be sure that the people behind him would not dare to chase him out. Even if he chased him out, he would have enough time to deal with it.

    But he became disappointed soon after. No, it should be said that he was desperate. After experiencing the ambush just now, the joy that victory brought to him had long since disappeared, leaving only endless anger and fear.  , he really never wants to meet Zhang Lei again.  That person is an evil star.

    Li Zicheng never wanted to see Zhang Lei again, but Zhang Lei didn't think so. Before Li Zicheng died, Zhang Lei was still happy to see him. If he could watch Li Zicheng being killed, that would be true.  I am even happier.

    A group of people appeared a hundred feet in front of Li Zicheng and the others, although they could not see clearly.  But Li Zicheng recognized the clothes they were sailing on, and that was Zhang Lei's army.  During the period when they were attacked and fled back, Zhang Lei led people around them and appeared in front of them again.

    I don¡¯t know if there are any pursuers behind, but there is already a blockade in front, and Li Zicheng has no way to do it.  Whether he wants it or not, he must have a head-on battle with Zhang Lei next.

    Zhang Lei looked at Li Zicheng's embarrassed appearance and the team that was missing many people, and laughed happily. It seemed that Li Zicheng was not a god, nor could he pinch and calculate.

    As soon as the two parties came into contact, Zhang Lei naturally led everyone to greet them with a three-eyed gun without any politeness.  Li Zicheng no longer dared to rush to the front of the team, but hid behind the soldiers.  After giving the order to attack, he had no room to retreat.

    Zhang Lei has never been soft-hearted. Kindness has disappeared from his body. The cruelty of war has made him understand that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to himself. Since the other party does not think that everyone is a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, he cannot  Killing each other, then why should Zhang Lei think about it?

    The battle is unprecedentedly fierce, and Zhang Lei has completely blocked all of Li Zicheng's routes.  It seemed completely impossible for Li Zicheng to repel Zhang Lei. For him, the best way to reduce his losses was to gather all the soldiers to carry out a key breakthrough.  And that's exactly what he did.  Putting aside today's strategic mistakes and being caught in the ambush set by Zhang Lei, Li Zicheng is an excellent general.

    Similarly, Zhang Lei also knew that Li Zicheng would definitely do this next, but even if he knew, he had no way. He could only weaken Li Zicheng as much as possible before he broke out.

    The intensive gunfire made Li Zicheng's team unable to raise their heads. He led his soldiers to gradually shrink their formation.  Then he found a place where he thought Zhang Lei's strength was weakest, and led all the soldiers to break out toward that point.

    Zhang Lei had no choice but to seize the time, but after fighting for more than an hour.  Li Zicheng still led his soldiers to break out. After getting rid of Zhang Lei's army, Li Zicheng did not even dare to look back and ran away as if running for his life. How could Zhang Lei let go of such an opportunity? As the saying goes, it is better to pursue the remaining soldiers bravely.  A poor bandit cannot pretend to be an academic overlord. As long as he can still be pursued, he must pursue him to the end.

    The two sides fought and walked all the way to the north. A few days later, Li Zicheng encountered another wave of enemies. This wave of enemies was a team led by Sun Chuanting. After hearing the news about the fight between Li Zicheng and Zhang Lei,  , hurriedly led his troops and horses over here, and finally blocked Li Zicheng's way here.

    Li Zicheng didn¡¯t dare to fight him, or even stop.Later, because as soon as he stopped, he would be caught up by Zhang Lei. Zhang Lei's enemy was enough to give her a headache. Now, if Sun Chuanting came to the rescue, would he still be alive?

    So he led his men and ran away non-stop. He did not dare to fight Zhang Lei, and he was also afraid that Zhang Lei and Sun Chuanting would surround him and beat him, so he sent his army north to attack Henan, not wanting to have a head-on conflict with both sides.

    But this is impossible. Sun Chuanting came specifically to besiege Li Zicheng. How could he let him run away so easily?  The two sides met on the outskirts of Kaifeng City, and Li Zicheng, who was blocked by Sun Chuanting, had no choice but to stop going north.

    The people behind had not caught up yet, but this could happen at any time, so Li Zicheng wanted to make a quick decision and took the lead in setting up a formation outside Kaifeng City.  Naturally, Sun Chuanting was not to be outdone and led his army in a bloody battle with Li Zicheng.

    Sun Chuanting only had 50,000 troops, and although Li Zicheng had suffered heavy losses along the way, he was still much more numerous than him in terms of numbers. However, the difference was that all of Sun Chuanting's soldiers were in high spirits, while Li Zicheng's soldiers were even  Even those who were shocked and frightened by the blows looked exhausted. At first glance, this was a very suspenseful encounter.

    Li Zicheng's fear was completely gone when he faced an opponent of the same level as himself, and there were many more people than Sun Chuanting, so he seemed relaxed.  The main thing is that he is the leader of such a huge crowd, and after accepting successive defeats, he must have a victory to restore his morale.  At this time, Sun Chuanting sent it over by himself, so Li Zicheng would not be polite.

    The battle between the two sides was about to break out. Li Zicheng took the lead and led his team to fight against Sun Chuanting's team. Sun Chuanting was not to be outdone, and the two sides immediately engaged in a melee.

    After a day and night of fighting, corpses littered the fields outside Kaifeng City, and the situation was extremely tragic.  But at this moment, Li Zicheng suddenly led his team out of the battle, seemingly trying to escape.

    When Sun Chuanting saw that Li Zicheng had much more people than him and was beaten away by him, he immediately became proud and led his team in pursuit without thinking. If he could defeat Li Zicheng's team, it would be an absolute disaster.  One piece of credit.

    Li Zicheng naturally has his own ideas. He said he wanted to win a battle to determine his superior position. How could he retreat so quickly now?  Wouldn't it mean that if you steal a chicken, you will lose a handful of rice?  Of course he had his own reasons for retreating.

    While escaping, Li Zicheng ordered the soldiers who were walking in front of the team to take off their equipment bit by bit and throw it on the ground. Tens of thousands of people dropped their equipment.  The place seemed to be covered with a layer of equipment.

    Although Sun Chuanting received one million taels of silver from Zhang Lei, he had recruited 50,000 people. Naturally, life was tight, and the equipment was generally not very good. Now there was suddenly so much equipment on the ground, and Sun Chuanting didn't even have it.  Before they had time to give orders, the soldiers gathered around and looted.

    Sun Chuanting originally wanted to stop them, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do so. Firstly, because the equipment was indeed what he needed, and secondly, because Li Zicheng had already escaped anyway, so it didn't seem like a big deal to let them pick up some loot.  .  (To be continued.
