Li Zicheng's sentinels also hurried to report and said, "an enemy ranger was found nearby."
Li Zicheng immediately pulled out his knife and said loudly, "get ready to fight“
These are elite veterans of all battles. When they found the enemy situation, they immediately pulled out their weapons and formed a team to prepare for the battle.
They expected that the enemy's cavalry would rush over soon.
Who knows, they have been waiting for a long time, but these enemies have not appeared.
At this time, Li Zicheng realized that the event was bad and ordered him to retreat quickly.
At this time, they have exhausted all the horses, which means that they can't retreat quickly on horseback, while the other party can be supplemented from the back and continue to pursue on horseback.
The other side can even go around their way to stop and block them everywhere. Now the other side has found their trace and has not launched an attack immediately, but has called more troops to come.
When the other party calls a large army, it will be difficult for them to escape.
Sure enough, when they rushed West, they could still see each other's Rangers along the way.
But the other side didn't fight with them, but waited by, as if they were leaving.
This strengthened Li Zicheng's judgment that the other party was waiting for reinforcements, which made Li Zicheng anxious. When they were ready to fight with the other party, the other party immediately dispersed and followed them far away.
Li Zicheng knew that the event was bad and was watched by the other party. They decided to run into the mountain immediately.
They walk on two legs. How can they win the four legged cavalry?
If you encounter cavalry in flat and hilly areas, it is a dead end. Only when you get to the mountain and let the cavalry not give full play to the advantage of speed, can you get back to a game.
However, it was not easy for them to escape into the mountain, because suddenly, there was a loud noise of hooves, and the other party immediately summoned more than 200 cavalry. It was also difficult for them to escape into the mountain.
Li Zicheng knew that if they didn't fight back and escape, they would be dead under the pursuit of the other party. Instead, they took up the knife and launched an assault on the enemy.
It's called a meeting in a narrow road. The brave wins. I hope I can catch the other party unprepared.
Zu Kuan was the leader of this group of cavalry. He divided the cavalry into countless teams of 100 people, dispersed within a range of hundreds of miles, and then sent rangers to search. They used arrows and horn numbers to contact each other. As soon as they found them, they immediately sent a signal, and other horse teams came quickly.
It was because he found the trace of Li Zicheng along the way, sent out a loud arrow and summoned other people. However, the other party was too surprised and immediately found their actions and was ready to flee.
There is no way. Even if there are insufficient manpower, we can only go out first and intercept the other party.
If the other party escapes into the mountain, he will have 100000 troops. It is not easy to catch the other party.
After three days and three nights of hunting, Zu Kuan and they were very tired and almost fell asleep on the horse.
But what's better about them than the roving bandits is that they don't have to be afraid. They have enough reinforcements, food and supplies, which are sent in a steady stream.
Li Zicheng was chased by the other party. He picked up the big knife and said loudly, "son zukuan, dare you fight with me?"
Zu Kuan picked up his big knife, patted his horse and said loudly, "why don't you dare! If this grandson hadn't been hiding and running faster than a rabbit, he would have been killed by me."
Li Zicheng is almost at a dead end now. He can't escape and kill each other. It can be said that it's the most dangerous time since they rebelled and took up the army.
In the past, although the Ming Dynasty defeated the main force of their army, they can still recover quickly. That is because the Ming Dynasty was very corrupt and incompetent. The local people didn't have enough to eat. Let them reach a place and shout, they can recruit millions of soldiers.
However, the Chinese army is different. The Chinese army is an emerging force and a new dynasty. There is no corruption and darkness in the former Ming Dynasty. Moreover, they have done a very good job in post-war reconstruction. Most of the places they manage can calm the place, and they have also brought food to let the people have food to eat. Naturally, they will not take risks with the wandering bandits To revolt will stifle the source of the roving aggressors' troops.
It has been difficult for them to obtain enough military support, because in this way, they will be surrounded by each other.
Li Zicheng is very tragic. You know, he rebelled and didn't want to relieve the people all over the world. He just wanted to live and be rich.
After losing the enemy, he even sent envoys to the other side and said that if the conditions were appropriate, he could hold peace talks.
His generals were all recruited by the Chinese army. For example, Liu Fangliang of Tongguan was recruited by the other party, and it is said that he was also appointed as a senior official.
Li Zhicheng was thinking that if the Chinese army had to surrender to him, the horse had to ride, and the senior officials had to do it, he might as well put down his military power and become a senior official, but he sent messengers and didn't come back at all. It is estimated that the other party cut off his head, or the other party had no interest in surrender to him.
No messenger was sent to him at all, and his kindness was ignored.
This made him particularly angry. He couldn't understand why he was inferior to others and why the Huaxia army despised me. Since you can't afford me, Li Zicheng will naturally express his regret for what you did.
Li Zicheng waved a big knife and rushed out to fight Zu Kuan to the death. In his eyes, he was an indomitable and resounding hero. Even if he died, he had to die with glory and vigour. He fought with the enemy on the battlefield.
Who knows, when he rushed out, Zu Kuan, who is famous for his bravery, didn't rush out and fight with him. Instead, a large group of soldiers rushed out and fired at Li Zicheng with muskets.
A burst of gunfire sounded, and a burst of smoke floated by. Li Zicheng had been shot more than ten times, and his blood flowed out of his body, almost dyeing his clothes red.
Li Zicheng's eyes were wide open. He stared at each other and said, "Coward without eggs..." before he finished, he fell into a pool of blood.
Zu Kuan was behind the musketeers and didn't take the challenge.
If it had been in the past, he would be happy to fight alone with the other party. He especially likes to fight with the enemy's generals in front of the two armies. It has the martial style of the Three Kingdoms era and has great face when it comes out.
But at this time, he no longer did this, because he found that even if you are a brave general and put on many iron armor, under the attack of their Musketeers, the peerless general is no different from ordinary soldiers. He is dead.
see! Li Zicheng is also a famous man. It must be difficult to subdue him. If you challenge him yourself, you may not win. Maybe you will let him cut off his horse, but as soon as the Musketeer came out, the gunshot rang, Li Zicheng fell into a pool of blood.
Such a result was not only Zu Kuan's accident, but also Li Zicheng's men. When they saw Chuang Wang, they actually died like this. They were very angry and shocked, so after they were stunned, Liu Zongmin said in a loud voice: "avenge Chuang Wang." He Chuan rushed to Zu Kuan with weapons and shouted, and they swore, We must avenge the king.
Zu Kuan smiled grimly and said, "no one left!" ordered his cavalry to dismount and form several teams, waiting for the other party to rush over. After 80 steps, they shot one after another.
These subordinates around Li Zicheng are loyal subordinates who have followed him to fight in the world for many years. Seeing the Chuang Wang's tragic death, they are crazy and want to avenge him and rush forward bravely.
More than 200 Chinese soldiers, a small number, formed three rows and fired at them respectively.
After several rounds of shooting, Liu Zongmin's more than 100 men were only twenty or thirty people who could rush to the front of the Chinese army. Most of them were dead and most of the others were injured.
At this time, the Chinese soldiers did not throw down their weapons, turned and fled, but bravely stabbed forward with their guns.
A musket with a bayonet inserted in one rod is a long gun. More than 200 bayonets came out at once and stabbed these soldiers to the ground.
The soldiers of the Chinese army suffered a lot in the cold weapon battle before there was no sudden stab 18. They were familiar with the use of bayonets. After they were familiar with the use of sudden stab 18, they played an extremely important role, that is, they didn't suffer a loss when they fought with each other's long gunmen, let alone those troops who rushed to him desperately.
In this way, the last more than 100 people around Li Zicheng died at the hands of Zu Kuan, but Zu Kuan lost a few people. He could not help but sigh: "the times are changing!"
Zu Kuan ordered the people around him to confirm and confirm Li Zicheng and the main generals around him. If they were out of breath, mend the knife one by one.
In this battle, he killed the rest of Li Zicheng and his men, including Niu Jinxing, his literati military master.
When Zu Kuan looked at the stele, he found that this was Luoma slope, only ten miles away from Yan'an. If he escaped into Yan'an mansion with complex terrain, it would not be easy for them to pursue him.
Zu Kuan was so happy that he cut off Li Zicheng's head with his own hands, ordered the nitrate to be made on his hands, and said, "take good care of it! I'll count on it for the rest of my life."
At this time, Zu Kuan was relieved to know that Li Zicheng was their confidant enemy. In order to get rid of this person, they gave up recovering other lost land, but concentrated their forces to pursue and kill in this direction. Moreover, Hong Chengchou gave them a dead order to let Li Zicheng escape and raise his head to see them.
This gave them great pressure and let them know that they could not catch Li Zicheng and would not behead, but they had to eat a meal to hang down, which made them very stressed and very tired. Even if they were tired to the point of collapse, they didn't give up the pursuit. The Emperor didn't live up to the painstaking man. Finally, he caught up with him and killed him at the last time.
After taking Li Zicheng's head, Zu Kuan's heart was wide, and endless sleepiness surged up. Ermu sat down on the ground and said loudly, "the injured brothers are bound up! The people in a row are responsible for guarding, and the others rest." after that, he took off his armor, lay on the ground with his clothes, and went to sleep.
Not only zukuan is like this, but also the soldiers around him, because they are too tired. After taking this man, the first thing they have to do is to have a big sleep first.
