~~~~~~
The deep night sky was covered with dark clouds, and the patter of rain and snow fragments seemed to lock the soul. Along with the raging waves in the Yangtze River beside him, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but shed tears.
Beauty wanes, a hero dies!
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xianzhong, who had dominated the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, would have to suffer the consequences of his failure today on the bank of the Yangtze River!
It's not like he hasn't lost in the past ten years.
However, relying on his own cunning and the numbness of the officers and soldiers, he was able to turn danger into disaster every time!
But this time, facing his old rival Liu Ruyi, Zhang Xianzhong also knew in his heart that his death day~~~ had finally arrived!
Thinking about it, he turned to look at Li Dingguo beside him and sighed deeply: "Yichun, I'm afraid my father won't be able to escape this time! However, Liu Ruyi wants to take his father's life, but it's not that easy.
!Dingguo, you are still young, brave and resourceful. You should not be buried here with my father! To the north is the Yangtze River. Although there is rain and snow today, my father believes in your ability and you will definitely be able to escape and ascend to heaven! As long as
After crossing the river, you go to southern Shaanxi and join King Chuang! You must hold down the banner of our rebel army!"
"Father! You can't! You can't be so pessimistic!" Li Dingguo's tears couldn't stop flowing out.
However, he is an outstanding person who has climbed out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood since he was a child. Although he is at the end of his rope, he still has not given up hope.
He grabbed a handful of blood-stained dirt on the ground and smeared it on his face. He looked at Zhang Xianzhong, and regardless of his dignity, he smeared it on Zhang Xianzhong's face. He lowered his voice and said, "Commander Father, although at this time,
It’s impossible! But we may not be able to escape! Father, come on, put on your uniform as a soldier! I’ll distract the Colored Stone Army’s eyes and ears over there! All you have to do is run north to the river!”
As he spoke, Li Dingguo looked around and saw a wooden fence for camping nearby. He pulled one hard and handed it to Zhang Xianzhong. "Father, handsome, hold this wooden stake and paddle towards the other side with all your strength! Don't get out."
In a moment, I will go to meet you! Once we cross the river, we will go directly to King Chuang! As long as our roots are there, we don’t have to worry about making a comeback!"
"Yichun..."
Zhang Xianzhong had already given up hope, but he didn't expect that at this moment, Li Dingguo would actually come up with such an escape plan for him. He couldn't help but feel extremely moved in his heart, "Yichun, this, can this work?"
Li Dingguo was a little anxious. He turned to look at the swarming red wave, "Father, is it okay? We have to give it a try! We don't have time, so let's do it like this!"
With that said, Li Dingguo picked up the spear in his hand, ran dozens of steps towards the south, and shouted loudly: "I am Li Dingguo! You bastards of the Colored Stone Army, don't you want to take my life? Come on! Yes!
Just come and get it!"
At this time, the cavalry battalion led by Zhang Mu had rushed to the center of the battle formation, only a few dozen steps away from Li Dingguo. This tall man in front of him was actually fighting here. How could Zhang Mu endure this?
"Damn it, this guy is Li Dingguo? Okay! How can he be so valued by the Duke? I want to see what he is capable of! Sons, follow me and surround this guy!" Zhang Mu
With a loud shout, he called to the soldiers around him and surrounded Li Dingguo like the wind.
Li Dingguo sneered slightly, staring at the guerrilla general in bright armor in front of him with his slender eyebrows, "People say that the Colored Stone Army is the most brave in the world! But I, Li Dingguo, don't think so! What you rely on is just
Worry about firearms! If we talk about weapons or martial arts, you may not be our opponents!"
Zhang Mu also sneered, "If you lose, you lose! You really know how to find excuses! Hum~! You guys, all stay back! Today, I have to practice one-on-one with this bastard!"
"General, no!"
"General, be careful of fraud!"
The soldiers around me are a little anxious. Li Dingguo obviously wants to challenge you to a duel? Are you going to let him fool you?
Zhang Mu waved his hand, "It doesn't matter! Don't do anything without my order! If he can kill me, it means that my skills are inferior to others! Then I am not worthy of staying as a guerrilla general!"
Zhang Mu said, turned over and dismounted, took out the steel knife from his waist, and stared in the direction of Li Dingguo!
Li Dingguo couldn't help but laugh, "Okay! Okay! Very good! A guerrilla in the Colored Stone Military Region can be so courageous! Dingguo admires it! But whether it is an embroidered pillow or not, we still have to see the truth! Come on! Eat it.
I'll take a shot!"
Li Dingguo said, raised his head and shot Zhang Mu directly in the chest!
Zhang Mu sneered in his heart, with this little ability, how dare you show off?
Facing the attack of the gun point, Zhang Mu did not retreat at all. He held the knife in both hands, stepped forward with a bow, and faced Li Dingguo's gun point with all his strength.
"Stab~" there was a crisp sound.
The two weapons created sparks in the air.
Zhang Mu and Li Dingguo each took a few steps back. Obviously, neither of them expected that the other party was so strong!
"Okay! Not bad! You are quite capable! No wonder you can make the Duke look at you differently! However, today, even if you are a dragon, you will turn into a loach in the hands of Master Zhang! Look at the knife~~!"
Zhang Mu said, his legs suddenly exerted force, and with the help of the speed of the rush, he slashed with his backhand, directly in front of Li Dingguo's face.
With the experience of the previous shot, Li Dingguo no longer dared to underestimate the guerrilla officer in front of him. His legs were full of strength and he pushed hard towards Zhang Mu.
Both sides are equally powerful!
Zhang Mu was a little younger and more courageous, but Li Dingguo had rich experience in fighting, and he was eager to cover Zhang Xianzhong's breakout. He was already a little restless, and after a few rounds, he was already at a disadvantage.
However, Zhang Mu became more and more courageous as he fought, and his blade was so menacing that Li Dingguo had no choice but to escape. He could only concentrate and entangle himself with Zhang Mu with all his heart!
~~~~~
At this time, Zhang Xianzhong had already changed into his soldier's clothes, and under the cover of night, under the protection of more than a dozen confidants, he quietly moved towards the north of the Yangtze River!
"The Duke has an order to kill only the head of the thief! You little soldiers, surrender and avoid death!"
"Only punish the thieves, surrender and avoid death!"
The red tide of the Caishi Army has roamed the entire battlefield. Although Zhang Xianzhong has narrowed his target infinitely, it is not that easy to escape.
Almost every few steps he takes, one of his confidants rushes out to attract the attention of the Colored Stone Army. At this time, there are still sixty or seventy steps away from the river, but there are less than five confidants left by his side.
.
"Da Zhuang, you, go and lure them away again! Let's meet up in the river!" Zhang Xianzhong was so angry that he finally found a way to escape, but he didn't expect that these soldiers of the Colored Stone Army were more difficult to deal with than dog-skin plaster.
, hurriedly waved his hands, asking the tall confidants around him to attract the Caishi Army's attention.
"Sir, take care of yourself! Da Zhuang has gone!" Da Zhuang raised his hands to Zhang Xianzhong, shouted, and rushed towards the colored stone soldiers beside him.
"Damn it, you're really looking for death! Brothers, chop this bastard up!" On the side, a colored stone commander couldn't help but became furious. Unexpectedly, he had shouted the slogan of the Duke of the country, and there were still people who dared to risk their lives.
It really echoes what the Duke of Guo said, 'If you don't seek death, you won't die!'
"Yes!" The soldiers around him had already itched their hands. Seeing Da Zhuang rushing forward, they refused to be nagging. A dozen of them raised their swords and rushed towards him.
Poor Da Zhuang, although he was tall and strong, how could he be the opponent of more than a dozen elite soldiers of the Colored Stone Army? Within three rounds, his chest had been pierced by a steel knife, and he fell in a pool of blood in pain
.
However, at this time, due to Da Zhuang's delay, Zhang Xianzhong managed to escape dozens of steps to the north, only thirty steps away from the river.
"Hurry, rush over! Once we reach the river, we can survive!" At this point, Zhang Xianzhong no longer concealed himself, got up, loudly greeted his confidants, and was about to run towards the river.
But what he didn't notice at this time was that Jia Dazhuang, who was in the west, had already been paying attention to them for a long time!
"Damn it, these bastards actually want to jump into the river? How can it be so easy? Sons, go up and stop them!"
Jia Dazhuang, while commanding dozens of elite cavalry around him to move forward, had already taken off the feather arrows hanging on his back.
He was born as a hunter in the mountains, and with his archery skills, he was a living guy. However, in recent years, as he followed the Duke, his official position became more and more important, and he used feather arrows less and less!
However, out of instinct, he was still used to carrying feather arrows with him. At this time, when he saw someone actually wanting to jump into the river, he couldn't help but want to try his skills.
In a moment, dozens of elite soldiers from the Xuanwu Battalion rushed towards the few people like the wind.
On Jia Dazhuang's side, he strung his bow and took aim carefully. With a "whoosh" of arrows, a black arrow seemed to have eyes, heading straight for the leg and wrist of one of them!
"Ah~~~!" Accompanied by this miserable cry of pain, there was a muffled sound of 'Pfft', Zhang Xianzhong's leg and wrist had been shot through by an arrow, and he could no longer move at all. He lay on the ground in despair and screamed in pain!
"Hahaha! Come on, tie them up!" Jia Dazhuang was overjoyed.
Unexpectedly, I haven't practiced for many days, but my skills are still there. In the future, when I get home, I can brag to my kids! I don't want those little kids who don't know the world to lose this skill!
Soon, dozens of soldiers stopped beside Zhang Xianzhong and others, with the tips of their swords against their necks, and cursed: "Damn it, I said I won't kill you if you surrender, you guys just run away! Are you looking for death? Ah!
!”
Several confidants could not help but be shocked, but the situation was stronger than the others, and they did not dare to speak at all.
But the bones in Zhang Xianzhong's legs and wrists were probably scratched, and he fell to the ground in pain, screaming incessantly.
One of the soldiers couldn't help but yelled, "Damn it, this bastard is already half dead! If not, if we kill him, we won't waste our medicine anymore!"
As he spoke, he raised his knife and tried to chop it off Zhang Xianzhong's head.
Pity Zhang Xianzhong, a great hero of the generation, but he never imagined that he would be buried under this unknown person. He couldn't help but cry out in despair, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I am Zhang Xianzhong! I am the thief you are looking for! Give it to me quickly."
Treating the injury and keeping me alive is worth a hundred thousand taels!"
"What? Are you a thief?"
The soldier couldn't help but sneer, "Damn it, a thief can be considered a person! How can he be as stupid as you? You damn thing want to fool me and make me go back and be laughed at by my brothers!"
As the soldier spoke, he slapped Zhang Xianzhong hard on the face. Then he lifted Zhang Xianzhong up and turned to the brothers beside him: "Damn it, brothers, this bastard actually claims to be Xianzhong."
Thief? Who of you knows him? Come on, come and take a look!"
