Li Zicheng regretted that the Ming army had been following him for a month. He had less than 2,000 of the 20,000 troops left.
Not long ago, Li Zicheng followed Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang.
At that time, Gao Yingxiang had 100,000 troops under his command. In the Shaanxi area, he defeated the Ming army in succession. He became so powerful that he became the leader of the local rebel army. Then...
Li Zicheng regretted telling Gao Yingxiang about the Zhongyong Guards. He told Gao Yingxiang that the Zhongyong Guards were not many in number, but they were well-equipped, especially with abundant firearms. If the Ming army could be captured, the equipment of the rebels would be even better.
Floor.
Gao Yingxiang was also a fool. When he heard that there was such a wealthy Ming army, he immediately became excited. He rushed forward and started fighting. In fact, not only Gao Yingxiang, but also Li Zicheng and others were careless. The continuous victories against the Ming army made Gao Yingxiang and others
They don't even take the Ming army seriously.
Moreover, what Gao Yingxiang was thinking was, I have an army of 100,000, but am I still afraid of you with 10,000? When the time comes, letting the cannon fodder come in first will also reduce food consumption, which is really a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
This time it was really not Lu Xiao who made the first move, it was them who took the initiative to ambush the Zhongyong Guards. Lu Xiao was startled, but then he understood. A group of bandits could accurately know their location, and the meaning behind it is self-evident.
ah.
Just thinking that his team had just replenished the gunpowder, and the opponent rushed forward. Lu Xiao felt a little want to laugh. He didn't even have the desire to take action. He directly let his men cover it with firepower.
This time, the number of red-coated cannons of the Zhongyong Guards has reached 70. The number of Tiger Zun cannons is 200, and the number of musketeers has been expanded to 2,000. With such firepower, they can directly push back against the rogue bandits.
For Gao Yingxiang, he only saw the continuous flickering of fire in the Ming army, and then his own troops fell in pieces like wheat. By the time he realized that something was wrong, the Zhongyong Guards had already begun to counterattack.
.
Lu Xiao did not make a desperate attempt to annihilate the enemy. Even if there were 100,000 pigs, they would not be able to kill them all in a while. Therefore, he only stared at the leader of this group of bandits and pursued them.
For Lu Xiao, this can be regarded as a kind of military training. High-intensity long-distance raids are an essential quality for all soldiers.
However, the situation changed slightly later. Because after Gao Yingxiang's team was broken up, Lu Xiao did not pursue Gao Yingxiang, but focused on Li Zicheng. There was no way, who made Li Zicheng more famous.
During the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng were the two most famous. Lu Xiao had already beheaded Zhang Xianzhong, and out of some kind of collecting obsession, he decided to collect Li Zicheng's head together.
Li Zicheng didn't know that he would become so famous later, but he was just secretly annoyed that this Ming army had no problem with his head. He let King Chuang go without arrest, but kept an eye on him. He didn't know that in Lu Xiao's heart, he was the king of Chuang.
king.
As winter came, Li Zicheng's team began to lose strength due to lack of food and cold clothing. However, Lu Xiao still pursued him. Li Zicheng had no time to plunder, so he could only keep running.
This was what Li Zicheng couldn't understand the most. The feeling this Ming army gave him was completely different from all the other Ming armies. The other Ming army did not accept his bribes. His specialty was throwing gold and silver jewelry on the ground to disrupt the enemy's movements.
The technique has no effect at all in front of this team.
Those soldiers looked at the gold and silver all over the ground as if they were nothing, without even squinting their eyes. Li Zicheng couldn't believe that this army was the same species as the Ming army that he had defeated before?
Li Zicheng got angry several times and wanted to turn around and fight with the Ming army. But he had this idea, but the soldiers under his command did not have the courage. In the previous battle, Lu Xiao's army was full of firepower. That kind of dense firepower network
, the scene of treating people like leeks has completely shattered the courage of this gangster.
"Why do you have to have trouble with this Li Zicheng? I don't think there is anything special about this person?"
Ding Xiu finally couldn't bear it anymore and secretly asked Lu Xiao.
"There's nothing special. Haven't you noticed that after Gao Yingxiang's team was broken up, only this man's team retreated with strict discipline and calmly. The rest were scattered, each running away. This man will not be eliminated.
, it will definitely become a big problem in the future.”
Li Zicheng could no longer run and was ready to surrender.
In order to show his sincerity, he brought all the treasures he had accumulated over the years and sincerely requested to meet Lu Xiao.
"Master Lu, Li Zicheng wants to surrender first. This is a good thing. As long as we accept his surrender and then do some propaganda, we can set an example for the bandits in Shaanxi. When the time comes, your Excellency will suppress the bandits.
The task will become much easier."
The person who said this was Guo Zhen. He was the supervisor sent by Chongzhen. However, Guo Zhen was very self-aware. He was here in Lu Xiao, drinking tea and listening to music all day long, but he didn't say a word about the affairs of the army.
.
Lu Xiao had a tacit understanding with him, and he served him delicious food and drinks as a mascot. This was the first time Guo Zhen discussed war with Lu Xiao. However, Lu Xiao's reaction made him feel cold on the spot.
"Surrender? Surrender, do we have to support them?"
"This...I understand. It's just that he has already announced his surrender in a big way. If we kill him now, then the bandits behind him will have to fight to the death to resist?"
"Haha. Surrendering with great fanfare, who said that? They were obviously planning to assassinate me in the name of surrender. Where is Ling Yunkai? Let him do this. I want this news to spread throughout the five hundred miles radius within one day."
Ling Yunkai is not a good person. Of course, a job like Jin Yiwei cannot be done by a pure good person. Just like Shen Lian in the movie, it will only be a tragedy in the end. But in Lu Xiao's view, Ling Yunkai is a person with good execution ability.
Subordinate. Therefore, he usually does this kind of work.
Li Zicheng led dozens of his men and walked into Lu Xiao's camp with great fanfare. In order to prevent accidents, he even made arrangements in advance and let out the news that he was about to surrender. This was to prevent Lu Xiao from not following the rules.
But he wasn't really worried because along the way, he noticed that this Ming army was very disciplined. Therefore, the surrender this time was not a big problem.
As long as the imperial court recruits people, they must be given a background. When the time comes, they will avoid this group of Ming troops and stand on the top of the mountain. Within three years, they will be a good man again. But as soon as they walked through the gate, they heard a shout from inside.
"Protect your lord!
"
Li Zicheng frowned. Someone was assassinating him? Didn't he come at the right time? But if that grown-up died, then he wouldn't have to surrender.
But Li Zicheng soon discovered something was wrong. Because he only heard someone shouting, but no one took any action. After walking a few steps inside, he saw several soldiers with loud voices standing in the camp facing each other.
...in the open space, shouting that someone was assassinated. But the people nearby were watching the fun.
Li Zicheng felt something was wrong and turned around to retreat first. But at this time, a man carrying an extended Miao knife came out.
"You keep shouting, don't stop. I'm going to kill the assassin!
