235, Zhang Xianzhong flees in a hurry, and the crisis of Li Dingguo emerges
"This is impossible!" Looking at the war situation in front of him, Zhang Xianzhong shouted in disbelief.
At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong began to doubt life.
How did things turn out like this?
On the side, a confidant could not help but speak: "Master, let's retreat quickly!"
Zhang Xianzhong couldn't accept it and roared: "No, I still have hope. As long as I can successfully attack, I can still turn defeat into victory!"
A sound of horse hooves sounded, and Liu Wenxiu, the chief general of the left wing, led a cavalry of hundreds of people, hurried to Zhang Xianzhong.
Zhang Xianzhong was furious: "Liu Wenxiu, why did you appear in front of me if you don't command the troops and horses to fight the Ming army?"
Liu Wenxiu's face was extremely depressed, and he hurriedly said, "King, the news I just received was that Sun Kewang's troops were wiped out, and Sun Kewang himself was killed by the Ming army! Now that the Ming army launched an attack on our troops, our troops could not resist the retreat on the entire line. Please ask the king to retreat quickly!"
Liu Wenxiu's words completely defeated Zhang Xianzhong's defense line. His body suddenly leaned back, and he felt countless thoughts in his mind colliding, and he almost fainted on the spot.
After a moment of dizziness, Zhang Xianzhong murmured: "This is impossible, this is impossible!"
The other generals around looked at each other, but as the shouts of killing approached, a large number of defeated soldiers began to appear around.
This moment proves one thing, that is, the Ming army will soon be killed!
Liu Wenxiu gritted her teeth and said, "King, it's too late, retreat quickly!"
Zhang Xianzhong came back to his senses and said miserably: "Retreat? Where to withdraw?"
At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong seemed to be ten years older.
Before today's decisive battle, Zhang Xianzhong was full of ambitions and vowed to defeat Zhu Cixuan, the only army in the south of the Ming Dynasty, which was still combat-effective, and directly swallowed the Ming Dynasty's Jiangnan whale as a base for the Northern Expedition, recreating the feat of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
But now, the ruthless fact slapped Zhang Xianzhong in the face.
It turns out that he is not the second Zhu Yuanzhang, but the second Chen Youliang!
Liu Wenxiu said anxiously: "We can withdraw from Jiujiang City and defend the city there! Hurry up, cover the king's retreat!"
Seeing that the Ming Dynasty's troops had appeared in sight, Liu Wenxiu and other generals simply overstepped their affairs and issued orders to Zhang Xianzhong's guards.
The guard commander also knew that something was wrong and immediately ordered all his subordinates to surround Zhang Xianzhong and retreat.
Jiujiang City is not far from Zhang Xianzhong and others at this moment, only a few miles away.
Around them, countless defeated soldiers of the Daxi Army were already filled with them.
These defeated soldiers ran away in chaos, fearing that their parents would not have two legs. Some even wanted to escape directly through Zhang Xianzhong's guard formation. After being ordered by the guard commander to kill dozens of people, the other defeated soldiers came back to their senses and learned to take a detour.
Zhang Xianzhong looked at this scene with a little confused, and his whole body seemed to be trapped in a huge emptiness.
Are these soldiers of the Western Army?
Is this the army Zhang Xianzhong wanted to use to sweep the world before?
Zhang Xianzhong's lips were trembling, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say it.
The gate of Jiujiang City was close to you. Liu Wenxiu immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly: "The king is here, please open the door and welcome the king into the city!"
Liu Wenxiu shouted several times, but received no response.
Looking at the door that was still closed in front of him, Liu Wenxiu suddenly felt a little bad premonition in her heart.
Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers holding bows and arrows appeared on the city wall. They set their bows and arrows and shot towards Liu Wenxiu.
At this moment, Liu Wenxiu was so deceased that he pulled the horse's reins desperately and turned around to escape. It was also considered that he was lucky enough to run fast, and he could run out of the shooting range of the bow and arrow safely.
A very familiar face of Liu Wenxiu appeared on the city wall and shouted to Liu Wenxiu: "Brother Liu, please tell the king that this city has returned to the Ming Dynasty. Please ask the king to find another way!"
Liu Wenxiu was furious: "Traitor, how dare you do this? Are you not afraid of lightning strikes!"
The Great Western Guard on the city wall laughed: "Thunder strikes? Brother Liu, you should be worried about the life and death of you and the king!"
Liu Wenxiu became more and more angry. He knew that the other party should have only this little force in his hands, and he wanted to rush into the city and kill the opponent, but the Ming army was about to chase him, and there was no time at all!
At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong's call came from behind: "Wenxiu, come back."
Liu Wenxiu returned to Zhang Xianzhong and said angrily: "King, these damn traitors are really..."
Zhang Xianzhong interrupted Liu Wenxiu: "At this point, what's the point? Let's go around the city and leave quickly."
Liu Wenxiu subconsciously glanced at Zhang Xianzhong, but found that Zhang Xianzhong was unexpectedly calm and calm at this moment.
Liu Wenxiu suddenly remembered a word - her heart was ashamed.
Liu Wenxiu took a deep breath and shouted at the others seriously: "Have you heard the king's order? Retreat quickly!"
Everyone rushed around the city surrounded Zhang Xianzhong's chariot.
After running all the way, Jiujiang City was gradually left behind.
Liu Wenxiu felt a little relieved, and when she looked back, she was immediately surprised.
Before we knew it, there were less than a thousand people left following Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Xianzhong.
Most of the people had quietly left the army on the road and ran away on their own.
Liu Wenxiu felt a little sad, but more angry: "These ignorant rats wait until the king makes a comeback..."
A bang gunshot attracted Liu Wenxiu's attention. He subconsciously raised his head and happened to see a bullet coming towards him at a speed that was almost impossible to see clearly.
The next moment, Liu Wenxiu's chest was pierced, and an extremely painful expression appeared on his face, and his whole body fell from the horse to the ground.
"Bang", accompanied by the heavy sound of landing, Liu Wenxiu, the general of the Western Army, who followed Zhang Xianzhong to travel around the country and made countless contributions and caused countless troubles to the Ming Dynasty, died.
More than a dozen wooden boats rushed out from the river next to them, and each wooden boat was filled with Ming musketeers.
"Don't let Zhang Xianzhong run away!"
"Kill them!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The musketeers fired volleys, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Zhang Xianzhong was pulled down from the chariot by the guards and fled directly into the reed marsh on the river bank.
The dense reeds blocked the pursuit's sight, but the Ming army's shouts were still loud, and they obviously did not intend to give up Zhang Xianzhong's "big fish".
After all, Zhang Xianzhong was very generous when he was too arrogant. After running for a while, he was already panting and sweating all over. However, the sound of the Ming army chasing and blocking each other was getting closer and closer.
Zhang Xianzhong felt heartbroken and couldn't help but cry out: "I am dead!"
At this moment, a shout suddenly came into Zhang Xianzhong's ears: "Father, come here!"
