Chapter 22 The Demon King Is Wild
Huang Hu hugged Nengqi, who was seriously injured, and ran in front of him, hoping to wait for his brothers to follow him. They fought and retreated with the remaining four or five hundred soldiers. In Huguang, they finally got rid of the pursuit of Yang Zhan and Qin Liangyu and his son, and found a deep mountain forest to recuperate.
This time he entered Sichuan, the losses were serious, and Huang Hu was really painful and regretful. Thanks to his true energy to protect Nengqi, otherwise his youngest son would have died.
At this time, other rebel troops seemed to be reborn for the second time, and their combat effectiveness became stronger and stronger. They were originally chased and ran away, but now they dared to chase officers and soldiers. For example, Li Zicheng actually defeated the famous Shaanxi general He Renlong to the point of falling.
After Huang Hu and his son were injured, the Central Plains and the Northwest were basically in chaos. They found the already very powerful King of Breaking, Gao Yingxiang and Breaking General Li Zicheng, and rebuilt a 3,000-man iron-armored cavalry team.
Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to send Hong Chengchou, who was ruthless and pursued a policy of killing all the people, as the governor of the five provinces. He began to organize encirclement and suppression. In just a few months, the main force of the rebel army was driven to Henan by him, and civil unrest in various places were quelled.
The rebels who were forced into Henan this time were considered an unprecedented scale. There were hundreds of leaders of all sizes alone, including Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Liu Guoneng, etc., among them, with a total number of people reaching 300,000.
In order to catch all these people in one go, Chongzhen mobilized nearly 100,000 troops, including Zuo Liangyu's Changping soldiers, Cao Wenzhao's Guanning Iron Cavalry, and Hong Chengchou's Hong soldiers.
At this critical moment of life and death, the King of Chuang Gao Yingxiang organized the leaders of the 72nd Battalion of the Thirteen Families to convene the Xingyang Conference.
Cao Rucai and other leaders all believed that the enemy was coming very strongly, so it was best to run quickly, run early, and run to the mountains to save their lives.
The Eight Great Kings shouted: "Why are you running? You are so brave, why are you going to rebel? Haven't you run enough yet? We have 300,000 people, and they are only 100,000 people. At worst, you can fight to the death!"
Everyone immediately became furious: "What should we do if we don't run away? We have been surrounded by heavy forces, staying in Henan, and going to Shaanxi, or going to Shanxi, but still being dead. Where is there any road?"
Li Zicheng, who is strategic, replied for him: "There is a way - to attack Zhongdu Fengyang!"
The venue was immediately silent and everyone was still there. This was a shocking idea, but it was also a wonderful idea.
Fengyang is Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown, and the tomb of the old Zhu family is here. During festivals, there are also lantern parades, and there are not many guards. Attacking here can attract the attention of the court and expand the influence of the rebel army.
If someone goes to attack Fengyang, someone has to stop Hong Chengchou. Finally, the troops were divided into three groups, all the way to Shanxi, all the way to Huguang, and all the way to Fengyang. Of course, Gao Yingxiang took Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng to Fengyang, and the Eight Kings Huang Hu Zhang Xianzhong volunteered to lead the three thousand armored cavalry team to fight the vanguard.
The cavalry team rushed from Henan to Fengyang in a moment. This day was the Lantern Festival. Lantern Festival was about to be put on in Fengyang City. Many people rushed out to watch the fun and their defense was very relaxed.
Fengyang has no city walls, because the walls are built, the Feng Shui of the imperial tomb will be destroyed. Under the cover of the night, the three thousand iron cavalry did not even open the gate, so they entered Fengyang City swaying.
When the Fengyang guards reacted, they organized five thousand defenders to stop them.
Facing the tide-like official army, the Eight Kings were so demonic that they were full of demons. With a long roar, the tiger fist was hit by a mountain. Before the troops fell, he had already flew to cut off the head of the guard. The official army behind them was so scared that they shuddered and retreated with a loud bang.
The adopted sons took the iron cavalry to kill him, and thousands of Fengyang defenders were soon wiped out.
The devil king Zhang Xianzhong was red in his eyes, and his fast horse was galloping on Fengyang Street. All the people and things in the world were the objects of his tiger fist.
Where he ran, there were corpses everywhere, fires soaring into the sky, and tens of thousands of private houses and Fengyang Yamen were burned.
Three thousand Iron Cavalry followed him, rushed into the imperial tomb, burned all the buildings and Huangjue Temple, and then dug up the ancestral tomb of the Lao Zhu family.
The Eight Kings were not crazy enough, and the tiger fist was swung out, and the coffin boards, corpses, and burial objects of the ancestors of the Zhu family were flying all over the sky. He laughed, pulled a piece of cloth, and wrote six big words on it: "Emperor of Guyuan Zhenlong" and inserted it into the cemetery as a banner to humiliate the old Zhu family.
He was in Fengyang City and completely exuded the suffocation caused by Yang Zhan. What is Yang Zhan? What is Chongzhen's son? This world should be the world of my eight kings Huang Hu.
He went crazy for three days and three nights, eating and drinking, burning, killing, looting, but he didn't want to leave. Li Zicheng, who arrived behind, urged him to retreat quickly, saying that he would stop when he saw the right thing, otherwise Hong Chengchou would not be able to escape if he chased him.
The Eight Kings then left with three thousand iron cavalry.
The news that the Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong attacked Fengyang, burned the imperial tomb and dug up the emperor's ancestral grave shocked the court and the people. After hearing the news, Chongzhen almost fainted.
After the Eight Great Five captured Fengyang, they led their troops southwards and conquered Luzhou Anqing, Hezhou and Chuzhou, and fought along the Yangtze River to Yizheng, Jiangsu, and were invincible all the way. Later, they returned to the west, passed Yingshan and Huoshan, and met with Ma Shouying's troops in Macheng, Hubei. Then, they entered Henan from Hubei, then entered Shaanxi, and fought back to Guanzhong from Shangluo.
The Eight Kings fought thousands of miles, east and west, and chose the weak links of the official army, breaking the strategic plan of the official army to encircle and annihilate the rebel army in the Central Plains.
Since then, the Eight Kings have become famous all over the world, and their men have gathered more and more. Even King Chuang and General Chuang are polite to him.
But he attracted the attention of the court, and the "Xian Bid" was regarded as the key targets of attack by Emperor Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou, Zuo Liangyu, and Cao Wenzhao.
In order to give Emperor Chongzhen an explanation, Cao Wenzhao took three thousand Guanning cavalry and set off to pursue more than 100,000 civilian troops. He thought it was still a vulnerable civilian army a few years ago, so he just waited for him to cut the melon with a big knife.
The one who faces him now is his apprentice Zhang Xianzhong. You have three thousand iron cavalry, and I also have three thousand iron cavalry. You have two horses, and I also have two horses. You have three hundred miles a day, and I also have three hundred miles a day.
Most importantly, Zhang Xianzhong also had the tiger fist that was so hard that he was so obsessed with the devil. Cao Wenzhao killed people like numb, while Zhang Xianzhong's tiger fist killed people in pieces.
The two strongest cavalry teams in the world met and killed them to the darkness. Even Cao Wenzhao had extremely strong martial arts skills, but he could not defeat Zhang Xianzhong's tiger fist.
Cao Wenzhao's men and horses were quickly damaged. With a wave of the flag of the King of Chuang, more than 100,000 people rushed forward, and Cao Wenzhao and his remaining men were trapped in a siege.
I charged once, twice, three times, and a total of more than a dozen times, exhausted.
In the end, he was the only one left, rushing left and right, killing dozens of people with his own hands, and rushing back and forth, without stopping. Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Zicheng looked at him with admiration and stopped fighting with him.
Everyone just surrounded him, killing him back and then another. More and more people surrounded him, and his injuries became heavier and heavier. So, when he was about to exhaust himself, he pulled out his sword. Under everyone's gaze, he raised the sword and committed suicide.
After Cao Wenzhao's death, he was chased by the peasant army running around and reached the peak of the scenery. Even Hong Chengchou and Zuo Liangyu were afraid of them. If they met, they would not fight, and they would have to fight. They just wanted to drive people away and not wander around their own defense zone, even if everything was fine.
The King of Chuang Gao Yingxiang and his two Chuangjiang led more than 100,000 troops around, but no one could do anything to them for a moment.
There are tens of thousands of people under the majestic Eight Kings, so they have the idea of entering Sichuan for the third time. He is looking forward to another decisive battle with Yang Zhan to avenge his previous shame.
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng, the new governor of five provinces in Jiangbei, Henan, Huguang, Sichuan and Shandong, brought his Tianxiong Army, Zukuan, who was originally in the Liaodong battlefield, brought another group of Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the two most powerful armies of the Ming Dynasty came. Let's settle the score with them.
They gathered their troops and waited, because they believed that with their existing troops, no one would be the opponent.
As soon as they confronted each other, they realized that they had met the world's strongest opponent, the Tianxiong Army and the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the elite soldiers among the elite soldiers. And their tens of thousands of powerful people were only those thousands of heavy armored Iron Cavalry.
Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong lost, so they had to run away separately.
Zu Kuan took the Guanning Iron Cavalry and ran very fast. In just one night, he caught up with Zhang Xianzhong in Jiugao Mountain. Because Zhang Xianzhong's current team is not only cavalry, but also thousands of infantry.
The entire Guanning army attacked and slashed and killed. After Zhang Xianzhong died and injured thousands of people, he ran out to death.
He ran wildly again, and after hundreds of miles, Zu Kuan appeared again.
