"Chase!"

Seeing that Li Zicheng and others entered the mountain, Obai immediately ordered a pursuit without any hesitation.

The Jurchens came out of the mountains and forests, and were not afraid of fighting in the mountains and forests.

I saw about 300 elite Eight Banners dismounting, and a team of twenty or thirty people scattering into the Thunder Mountain.

As soon as he entered, he was served by the bow and arrow of the powerful soldiers of the Shun Army.

However, these Eight Banner elites are at least two layers of armor, and they are also keen in combat. A considerable number of people can even avoid arrows in a way similar to listening to sound and defending positions.

Even if someone is shot, it is mostly minor injuries.

Not only because the Eight Banners elite soldiers were thick, but also because these Shun Army soldiers had experienced ambush battles in Zhongshanpu before, and then retreated all the way, and their spirit and strength were not as good as before.

However, Oboi and others were all the new forces left by Luke Dehun before, and they were relatively easy to chase and kill, and they were very strong at this time.

As elites of the Eight Banners, whenever there are Shun Army archers in the mountains and forests, they can immediately fight back. Not to mention one arrow, they can also shoot one person with two or three arrows, which will have extremely high damage to Shun Army.

In order to escape, many of these soldiers of the Shun Army threw away their armor. The Eight Banners soldiers used heavy arrows. Anyone who was shot at the arrows would die on the spot.

In this way, not long after, almost all the soldiers of the Yibai Shun army who remained to block were dealt with by the elites of the Eight Banners.

Even the Eight Banners of Manchuria were born as nobles, and they had the habit of going to the mountains to hunt all year round. Almost all of them were hunters in the mountains and forests.

Therefore, it was easy to follow the traces left by Li Zicheng and others. In just one or two minutes, they chased Li Zicheng again.

"Brother Hu Er, please take your men to protect His Majesty and continue walking into the mountains. We will lead the remaining people to intercept the Qing captives!"

The guard officer Fan Zhang said with a decisive look, and led a few guards to fight back towards the Qing army with forty or fifty soldiers.

Hu Er, a few guards and the remaining sixty or seventy soldiers, ran in the mountains for a while, and then stopped.

Hu Er said: "Your Majesty, you must let the u people escape separately, otherwise sooner or later, the Qing army will catch up."

Li Zicheng's face was extremely ugly at this time. He heard this and said, "There are more Qing robbers than us, so what's the use of escaping separately?"

Hu Er stopped talking.

He is just a guard, and it's good to reach out, but he really can't solve the crisis in front of him.

At this moment, a mountain wind suddenly blew, and Li Zicheng couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Through the dense forest, seeing the dark clouds gathered in the sky at some point, Li Zizhen laughed immediately, "Everyone happened to see you, God will come to help you at the critical moment!

It will rain soon this day, and then the rain will lose its footprints, so it will not be so easy for the Qinglu to find the bums!"

After saying that, he pushed Hu Er away, who was supporting him, and walked quickly to the deeper part of the forest.

Hu Er and others were excited to see that it was about to rain, and they all followed Li Zicheng...

Boom!

With a few thunderstorms that shook the mountains and forests, the heavy rain suddenly poured down, washing away the battlefield where it had just experienced a tragic battle.

Blood mixed with tears, turned into countless streams and walked down the mountain.

Obai wiped the rain on his face and couldn't help but curse, "God, it will rain if it rains."

Someone from his subordinates came over and asked, "Sir Zhang Jing, what should we do next?"

Obai said in a silence: "How can you chase people in such heavy rain? Retreat the troops, just think that Li Zicheng is lucky."

Although Oboi did not want to withdraw from the mountain, he had to retreat.

As a long-time general who has been fighting for many years, he knows how dangerous it is to stay in the mountains where it rains heavily - they don't carry any supplies, and even if they are over this rain, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

So it’s better to retreat outside the mountain first.

···

On the other hand, Li Zicheng and others also knew that it was dangerous to march in the mountains on rainy days. If possible, they would definitely find a gentle half-slope first, or hide from the rain in the cave, and wait until the rain stops before leaving.

However, rainy days were their good opportunity to get rid of the Qing army's pursuit.

They didn't know if the Qing army was still pursuing them, and they dared not gamble - if the Qing army was still pursuing them in the mountains, waiting for the rain to stop, the muddy land would only make it easier for the Qing army to find them.

Therefore, they must try to distance themselves from the Qing army while it rains.

It would be even better if you could pass through the Thunder Mountain.

In order to avoid disasters such as landslides, mudslides, mountain torrents, etc., Li Zicheng and others tried to walk in relatively smooth places.

Although Li Zicheng and others had rich experience in field marching and were very careful, they encountered mudslides after walking for a quarter or two in the rain.

Not only were seven or eight Shunjun soldiers trapped in, but the team of dozens of people were also separated again, leaving only a dozen people left by Li Zicheng.

Fortunately, the dozen of them walked forward for about a quarter of an hour before they encountered a mountain temple.

Everyone went in and hid in the rain immediately.

The mountain temple is a bit dilapidated and has long lost its incense. There are two bonfire embers, which should be left by hunters in the mountains.

Li Zicheng and others didn't care, but knelt down and worshiped the mountain god.

Just after experiencing a mudslide and feeling the terror of the power of heaven and earth, Li Zicheng and others needed to worship the mountain god to get comfort.

After worshiping the mountain god, Hu Er said, "Your Majesty, your wound must be treated quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if it rots and suppurates."

Li Zicheng nodded and immediately asked someone to help him take off his armor and deal with the wound.

The other dozen people unloaded their armor, dragged their clothes and wrung them, and left them aside to dry them.

"It's a pity that there is not even an altar in this temple, otherwise we can even chop and burn the fire." A guard sneezed, worried that he would be infected with wind evil, so he couldn't help but say this.

Li Zicheng frowned and said, "What nonsense? Uh, you finally encountered a mountain god temple in this heavy rain. How could you think of disrespect to the mountain god?"

The guard immediately bowed his waist and said, "I am humble and asked your Majesty to punish me."

Naturally, Li Zicheng would not punish the guards for such a trivial matter, but closed his eyes, frowned and did not speak.

His face seemed even worse than before entering the temple.

He didn't feel it while he was rushing to go, but after he took a break, he felt that not only the wound on his right shoulder was unbearable, but even the several old injuries he had suffered before became uncomfortable.

Especially the eyes that were shot blind, it hurts so much that someone is pulling some stubbornness in his mind.

The other soldiers of Shun Army were silent, but no one noticed that a figure quietly retreated from the forest in front of the mountain temple in the rain...

The rain comes and goes quickly.

Li Zicheng and others rested in the temple for only a quarter or two, and the rain stopped and the sky cleared.

When everyone got up to pack up and were about to leave, Li Zicheng found that his morale was very low. He sighed in his heart and smiled and said, "Uh, I have been hiding for so long, but the Qinglu did not chase him. It seems that they did not retreat to the mountain.

If you go out, you can't find your own traces for a while."

"Then will we meet with Miao Yousheng and the others next, or go out directly?" Hu Er asked while wearing armor for Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng said: "Of course, you should come out as soon as possible - Miao Yousheng and the others must also know that they will come out as soon as possible, otherwise they will be caught up by the Qing captives, but they will really not be able to get rid of them."

At this moment, two powerful soldiers who had just been dressed in armor outside the temple suddenly shouted: "Who is it!"

While shouting, the two of them shot with arrows.

Although they had just experienced a heavy rain, as powerful soldiers with rich combat experience, they changed their bowstrings as early as when they were hiding from the rain in the temple.

At this time, two arrows shot out, and a muffled groan suddenly came from the forest.

Then twenty or thirty arrows shot!

The two of them did not expect so many enemies to suddenly appear. One was shot in the neck and died tragically. The other hid in the temple in time, but was also shot in the leg.

Li Zicheng, Hu Er and others stepped up their armor and took weapons, and heard someone shouting, "Kill this group of thieves and defeated soldiers, and one man was the only one who could only give me a dou of grain!"

"Kill!"

As the shouts of killing sounded, forty or fifty people rushed out of the forest and rushed straight to the temple gate!

Listening to the movements around, there seemed to be people on the left and right behind the mountain temple - they were surrounded by this group of mountain people at some point!

"Don't go out! Keep the temple gate!"

At this moment, Li Zicheng was still calm and shouted loudly in command.

The guards following Li Zicheng were also very brave. Five or six armored men were holding rattan cards to block the temple gate. The rest of them shot arrows behind them, and they actually defeated the first group of mountain people.

Wave offensive.
