Chapter 30 The Demon King Falls
As soon as the Fuhu Formation was completed, Yang Zhan wanted to go to Zhang Xianzhong to test its power. During this period, Zhang Xianzhong was having fun in the Central Plains. Yang Zhan felt guilty for letting the tiger return to the mountain, but also worried that the demon king who had made a fortune would one day enter Sichuan.
.
As soon as he explained his idea, everyone agreed. But there were two problems: the hidden soldiers could not be pulled out, and the master must go with him.
Dingzhen said: "I can leave for two or three days. As long as we and the thirty-six Jianghu Rangers can go, for the time being, Zuo Liangyu's soldiers will be used for the rest."
The six people in front were dressed in mysterious clothes, holding swords, carrying swords, quivers, blunderbuss and slingshots, and riding white horses. At a glance, they thought they were the same person.
The thirty-six people behind them are all dressed up in different costumes, have different weapons, and the horses they ride on are also different.
Like a bolt of lightning, the group arrived at the Xinyang battlefield in Dabie Mountain in a moment.
Zhang Xianzhong, who had won six battles in a row, didn't take Zuo Liangyu seriously at all. Zuo Liangyu sat in the camp with a frustrated look on his face.
The messenger broke in and said, "Report, Guangyuan garrison general Yang Zhan wants to see you."
Zuo Liangyu looked shocked. He didn't receive Yang Zhan's military order to coordinate the operation. "Please come in quickly."
Yang Zhan led a group of people forward quickly and saluted: "Yang Zhan and his senior uncle, our senior brothers have met General Zuo!"
Zuo Liangyu asked: "General Yang came to my place, but did he have military orders to convey?"
"We are here to help General Zuo accomplish his feats!"
"Don't dare, don't dare. General Yang let Zhang Xianzhong run away last time, and we are still wiping our butts. This time we don't dare to bother him again!"
"Although it was beyond his power last time, Yang could not escape the blame, so today I came here to take away the blame."
"Zhang Xianzhong is in more trouble now. How many people have you brought here? What are your strategies to defeat him?"
"There are only forty-two people, all of whom possess unique skills. Although I am not sure that I will completely eliminate them, I have a plan to defeat them in Xinyang."
Zuo Liangyu's eyes lit up, "What's the plan?"
Yang Zhan said: "Divide and attack. Just like this, like this."
Zuo Liangyu was overjoyed. Yang Zhan was willing to take the risk, and he was happy to get it done. What's more, the credit in the end belongs to him, Zuo Liangyu. He hasn't won a battle for a long time. If he doesn't win another battle, I'm sorry to the court, and his morale is getting lower day by day.
, we can only continue on this downhill road.
The next day, Zhang Xianzhong used all his firepower, and several of his adopted sons advanced toward Xinyang City from four directions, and soon fought against Zuo Liangyu's army.
Zhang Xianzhong observed the entire battlefield at the highest point of the mountain, and decided to take advantage of his adopted sons to restrain Zuo Liangyu's troops, lead a thousand men of the Chinese army to attack in a detour, and directly capture the gate of Xinyang City.
As he ran in the forest, he felt that the team behind him was getting smaller and smaller. At first, he thought he was not keeping up or had deserted. When he ran to an open area and saw only five or six hundred people, he realized that he had been tricked.
road.
It's too late.
Since he rushed down the mountain, Yang Zhan's forty-six men have been running on both sides of him, cutting off his team one by one without anyone noticing.
Now, they were surrounded, forty-six people surrounded five to six hundred people.
In the first circle, the white horse in black clothes circled quickly, as if there was only one person, or as if there were thousands of troops.
In the second circle, there was a motley of people and horses, also spinning rapidly, but some were going in this direction and some were going in that direction.
Slings and arrows rained down on Zhang Xianzhong's team, but their arrows could not do anything to these people. Several times the organization rushed out, but it seemed to be blocked by a net. Even the heavy armored cavalry who had experienced hundreds of battles did not
I have seen such a weird formation.
The people who followed Zhang Xianzhong were all the people who were most loyal to him except his adopted son. They were so densely packed around him that he couldn't even use the Tiger Fist.
Seeing that his number was getting fewer and fewer, Zhang Xianzhong let out a tiger roar, pushed aside the team, and rushed forward.
The result was even worse. His people were surrounded by two circles. He was in one circle with four to five hundred people, and the other two hundred people were in a circle. He roared repeatedly and charged forward with all his strength, but like a hen laying eggs, he
The further you push, the more circles will be created.
The circle he was in always had two layers, until all the people around him were cut into other circles, and he was only surrounded by one layer of black clothes and white horses.
This time, he shouted loudly, struck out with the Tiger Fist, and slashed with the sword, but he saw countless Yang Zhan coming towards him wielding the Fuhu Fist and Fuhu Sword.
Zhang Xianzhong's demonic nature suddenly became strong, and he fought with all his strength against them. He already had many injuries on his body, but he ignored them and became more and more courageous as he fought.
At this time, there were many battles in the Dabie Mountains. Zhang Xianzhong's tiger roar echoed and spread among the valleys, covering up all the guns and fighting sounds.
It is hoped that Dingguo, a man of literary talent and capable of extraordinary things, heard the roar of the tiger and knew that his father was in a fierce fight. He was in a hurry, but Zuo Liangyu's men bit them and refused to let go.
For them, they were separated and could reunite, but their father was gone, but the sky was falling. The four of them unanimously abandoned their subordinates and each brought an elite soldier to save their father.
As soon as they left, the team immediately collapsed. Zuo Liangyu took the opportunity to drive and kill the peasant army. Zhang Xianzhong's hundreds of thousands of people immediately dispersed and ran around on the Dabie Mountains. Those who did not run fast had their heads cut off by the officers and soldiers.
By the time several foster sons and their men arrived, Zhang Xianzhong's Chinese army and horses had been devoured by those circles. The newly arrived troops and horses were also immediately cut into several circles.
The four brothers didn't care to understand the situation and rushed towards the strange black and white circle surrounding their father. The Jianghu Rangers in charge of supporting the formation could not stop them or circle them.
When Yang Zhan saw that the warriors were about to kill them, he quickly ended the tiger formation in advance and shouted "stab!" Five swords thrust out at the same time. Zhang Xianzhong dodged to the side without the sword, which was Yang Zhan.
, what he holds is Fuhu Sword.
Zhang Xianzhong was hit by the Tiger Sword and shouted: "Yang Zhan, you are so cruel!" He was about to fall, but Ke Wang jumped on his horse, hugged him, and under the cover of his brothers, ran out of the circle with all his strength.
Strange array.
Yang Zhan led his men in hot pursuit. Zhang Xianzhong didn't know whether he was dead or alive. He couldn't let the tiger return to the mountain this time.
In the mall, the four brothers were overtaken again. Taking advantage of Yang Zhan's failure, they fought to the death and fled to Yingshan with the remaining 60 or 70 people.
It is hoped that the four brothers often followed Zhang Xianzhong around the Dabie Mountains and became very familiar with the terrain, so they gradually got rid of the pursuit.
Then they found a cave and put down Zhang Xianzhong. Fortunately, although his whole body was covered in blood, Zhang Xianzhong was still panting. Yang Zhan's sword came too quickly and went away quickly. Although it pierced a hole in his chest, it was not fatal.
.
Seeing that he was so seriously injured, the adopted sons shed tears while trying to stop the bleeding and heal his injuries. Zhang Xianzhong smiled weakly: "My son, please don't cry, I will not die yet."
Hope said: "What should we do next? Please ask father for an idea."
Zhang Xianzhong said: "Keep the green hills here, so you don't have to worry about being burned without materials. I see that you are also seriously injured. Let's find a place to recuperate, and then go out to gather the scattered troops."
"Sooner or later this place will be found, we have to leave as soon as possible."
"Just go to Li Zicheng's place. It's time for him to return my favor."
Without Zhang Xianzhong's support, Li Zicheng would not have been able to survive in Shangluo Mountain, nor would he have been able to get out.
As soon as he came out, under the banner of "equalizing land and exempting from taxes", he quickly gathered hundreds of thousands of people, attacked Luoyang, killed King Fu Zhu Changxun, got several deer from the back garden, and cooked them with King Fu's meat, called "
"Fu Lu Banquet" was shared with the soldiers. At the same time, the gold and silver property and a large amount of food and materials in Prince Fu's mansion were confiscated, and a notice was issued to provide relief to the hungry people.
Now, I heard that he is preparing to attack Kaifeng. It is the right time to join him.
The father and son struggled and ran to the vicinity of Kaifeng City. Li Zicheng had received the news and was escorted out of the camp.
"Jingxuan, Jingxuan, our great hero, why are you injured like this? Someone, please quickly treat the injuries of the Eighth King and his subordinates."
Luo Rucai had already come to join Li Zicheng first. Many of the original Thirty-sixth Battalion and later the Thirteenth Battalion were here.
It seemed that everyone was gathering here again, and both father and son felt like they were home.
Li Zicheng came to check on Zhang Xianzhong's condition every day. Seeing that he was doing better, he said: "In the past, I saw that you were seriously injured, so it was not easy to disturb your recovery. Now that you are well, I will tell you what I say from the bottom of my heart."
Seeing that Zhang Xianzhong was listening attentively, he continued: "Although we formed an alliance in the past, we still didn't buy each other's opinions and each did his own thing. One group ran here and another ran there, like bandits, more like bereaved dogs. The officials called us
Rogue thief."
"so what?"
"So we keep being suppressed. I have thought about it, we can't do this in the future. If you are willing to stay and follow me, Li Zicheng, you must be incorporated into my subordinates, follow my instructions, and act in unison. If you are not willing to stay, I
He is not forced to stay, and he is given generous gifts."
"Haha, since Brother Zicheng said this, I won't hide it from you. I ran away in a mess and lost many brothers. They have been with me for many years, and I can't ignore them. I will say goodbye to you in just these few days. Thank you very much.
Take it in and let me report it later!"
"That's fine, that's fine. You can rest in peace for a while longer."
In the evening, Luo Rucai came to report in a panic, "Li Zicheng told everyone that you don't want to join his team, and Li Guo and other generals will kill you. I was the one who stopped you, so while they are still hesitating, run away quickly!"
Zhang Xianzhong was doubtful, but Luo Rucai said again, "I have prepared five hundred horses for you. You can rely on them to start over again. If you make a fortune in the future, don't forget me."
Zhang Xianzhong then quietly left with his adopted sons.
On the way, Wen Xiu said: "I don't think Li Zicheng is a villain like that. Even if his subordinates want to kill us, he will not allow it."
Chapter completed!
