Chapter 119 Zhang Xianzhong must die
Before, Zhang Kewang, Zhang Dingguo, Zhang Nengqi, and Zhang Wenxiu led tens of thousands of troops to attack fiercely for half a month, but they were unable to open a gap in the defense line of Zhongzhen Camp. Zhang Xianzhong had only been working for half a day, and the remnants of the Dashun Army in the camp in front of him had begun to kill each other. This only shows that Zhang Xianzhong is indeed destined to be with him. No matter what natural disasters and man-made disasters, they can always turn bad luck into victory!
In the past twenty years, Zhang Xianzhong has had countless such experiences, and now he is just repeating the miracle of the past. Therefore, he immediately told the leader of the Imperial Army: "Hurry up and go with me, it is rare. This time, as long as I take action personally, the Zhongzhen Camp will naturally be destroyed. We can sweep the remaining clouds and defeat the Yueming thieves!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Xianzhong became more confident: "By the way, I informed the Imperial Guard and Zhang Kewang that they would come to pick them up. Although our dozens of cavalry can defeat thousands of people in the camp, there are tens of thousands of people here after all, and it would be impossible to get them to pick them up!"
The leader of the Imperial Guard was an old man who had been following Zhang Xianzhong for many years. He heard this and quickly said, "Your Majesty, let me be responsible for the team leader's charge. You can just lead the Imperial Guard to come up to pick him up!"
However, Zhang Xianzhong has the absolute authority of the Emperor of the West: "According to my opinion, otherwise there will be no mercy to kill! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How can I give it to you? This is destiny!"
Zhang Xianzhong really felt that he had the destiny, but if he was handed over to others to charge in battle, perhaps he would not take care of himself like this next time. And more importantly, he had to make the Western Army full of absolute confidence in him. Such a miracle of breaking the enemy is the best example.
Moreover, there were more than 70 elite cavalry around Zhang Xianzhong, and even hundreds of Dashun troops could handle it. Even if they encountered danger, they could retreat immediately. Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong did not hesitate to lead the seventy elite cavalry to the base of Zhongzhen Camp.
Zhang Xianzhong's appearance in Zhongzhen Camp immediately triggered a chain reaction. Someone immediately waved the battle flag to welcome Zhang Xianzhong's arrival, but the Dashun Army, standing on the opposite side, naturally attacked more fiercely. Both sides fell from time to time, and blood was already flowing in the camp.
But this is exactly the situation Zhang Xianzhong likes to see the most. He felt that he could easily break the Zhongzhen Camp and enter Jingzhou Prefecture in the next moment. But he just thought of it and heard the sound of gunshots on both wings. The sound of arrows and raindrops shot over, causing considerable casualties in Zhang Xianzhong's horse team. But what was even more fatal was that after the gunshots, a horse team suddenly broke out on the flanks. The fierce general shouted loudly: "Huang Hu, today is your death date!"
Zhang Xianzhong felt that this voice was a bit familiar. He must be a well-known figure in the camp. He knew that he had been fooled by evil spirits: "Go and let the imperial guards catch up, and quickly notify Zhang Kewang and they come to save me!"
But there is no need for Zhang Xianzhong to notify Zhang Kewang, Zhang Dingguo and other adopted sons. When Zhang Kewang heard the news from the Imperial Guard, Zhang Xianzhong's first reaction was that he was blinded by the geese all day long. He was afraid that Zhongzhen Camp and Yue Ming army had already set up heavy troops to ambush Zhang Xianzhong: "Hurry, my father is probably in big trouble, let's go and rescue him quickly!"
Although Zhang Kewang and Zhang Dingguo's four adopted sons were quite dissatisfied with what Zhang Xianzhong had done since he entered Sichuan, and they were not biological fathers and sons after all, they could still put aside the contradictions and rush forward to grab Zhang Xianzhong back at such a critical moment: "Brothers, go with us to save your father!"
"Brothers, come with me!"
At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong was already in big trouble. The horse team led by the horse sturdy horseman rushed over without hesitation. The two sides collided violently, and then there was a situation where people were overturning and the imperial guards beside Zhang Xianzhong fell to the ground one by one.
Although the Dashun Army was also overturned, Zhang Xianzhong had only seventy cavalry around him and could not afford such exhaustion. However, Zhang Xianzhong personally led the team to rush forward and defeated the three cavalry in a row: "Huang Hu Zhang Xianzhong is here, Hao Yaoqi, you want to take my life for another hundred years!"
Now Zhang Xianzhong has recognized that the horse-savage general on the opposite side is no one else, but Hao Yaoqi, the rising star in the Dashun army, but he does not think he will die at Hao Yaoqi's hand. Seeing Zhang Xianzhong defeating three cavalry in a row and the Imperial Guard and Zhang Kewang behind, Zhang Ding's army has been mobilized. The Imperial Guards beside him were originally fed by Zhang Xianzhong with silver and women, so naturally his morale was shocked and rushed over: "Protect Your Majesty!"
"Huang Hu, I'll leave first!"
"Your Majesty, I deserve you!"
Although Hao Yaoqi rushed out with nearly a hundred cavalry, he couldn't do anything to Zhang Xianzhong now. Fortunately, more soldiers rushed out of the camp behind, and Tian Jianxiu even led the team to kill: "Huang Hu, you can't leave today, surrender early!"
Zhang Xianzhong was still fighting hard. He knew that if he met the official army, he might have a chance to surrender. However, Tian Jianxiu and Hao Yaoqi in front of him were all his old friends and fellow villagers in northern Shaanxi. He nominally advised him to surrender, but he would definitely be dead if he fell into their hands. Even if he could live for a few more days, he would not allow himself to survive after his value was squeezed out.
The Emperor Chengtian might allow his queen, prime minister and adopted son to survive, but he would never allow himself, the Emperor of Daxi to continue to live. After all, he is still alive and is the soul of the Daxi Army. It is said that Liu Yongxi killed all the generals left by Gao Jie, so how could he allow himself to survive!
Therefore, when Tian Jianxiu's persuasion to surrender, he immediately sneered: "There are only Huang Hu who died in battle in this world, and Zhang Xianzhong who surrendered without kneeling down!"
Although Zhang Xianzhong has various flaws and is not a qualified ruler, at this moment he is still the fearless Zhang Xianzhong, who is in the world, and he has forcibly fought a path among the crowd. Zhang Kewang and Zhang Dingguo, who are behind him, also came to rescue him with the horse team: "Father, hold on for a while!"
But Zhang Kewang, as soon as Zhang Dingguo finished speaking, another horse team came out to block Zhang Kewang. Zhang Dingguo's way: "Today is Zhang Xianzhong's death. Please come back, two generals!"
The one who came out was Yuan Zongdi, an old minister of the Dashun Army. Although he had only dozens of cavalry and nearly a hundred infantry around him, he entangled the troops led by Zhang Kewang and Zhang Dingguo. At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong was already trapped in the encirclement of Zhongzhen Camp and Yue Ming Army. Xing Shengping shouted loudly: "Huang Hu, you can't leave or survive today!"
Zhang Xianzhong has been on the battlefield for decades, encountered countless thrilling scenes, and sometimes he was forced to surrender, but he has never been as thrilling as he is now. Moreover, there are less than ten imperial guards around him and even some people are dismissed. However, the reason why Zhang Xianzhong is Zhang Xianzhong is because he is a desperate among the desperate people!
He has changed three horses now, but the Yue Ming army in front of him is not afraid at all: "Xing Shengping, let your sister speak!"
He really looked down on Xing Shengping. He always thought that Xing Shengping was promoted by nepotism, so he felt that if Mrs. Xing came forward, he might say a few words, and Xing Shengping would be meaningless!
But Xing Shengping shouted without hesitation: "My brother-in-law said that the one who killed Zhang Xianzhong was promoted to three levels and then rewarded 1,000 taels of silver and other heavy rewards. It depends on whether you can seize the opportunity!"
Liu Yongxi was indeed Xing Shengping's brother-in-law. Although Emperor Chengtian gave the reward quota not seemingly generous enough, for the cavalry on the front line, this was a heavy reward they could get. Moreover, it was said that Emperor Chengtian said it was like a mountain, so a group of soldiers rushed forward and began to siege Zhang Xianzhong.
Although Zhang Xianzhong was covered in armor and was extremely brave, he felt that he could not handle this situation and could only place all his hopes on the Imperial Guard and the four adopted sons.
Zhang Kewang and Zhang Dingguo did not expect that the Ming army of Yue had already made arrangements, and they dug a big hole to kill Zhang Xianzhong. However, although Yuan Zongdi on the opposite side was not a strong enemy, he was determined to restrain his brothers and could not resolve the battle in a short time. Therefore, Zhang Kewang said loudly: "Mianhou, everyone is a fellow villager in northern Shaanxi. Why do you have to use such a vicious move to keep your hands full of mercy? What's more, once my father dies, your Zhongzhen Camp is a situation where all the good bows are hidden. Let my father live in a way that everyone is well!"
Zhang Kewang felt that even if his words could not move Yuan Zongdi, they could make Yuan Zongdi hesitate for a moment, but Yuan Zongdi laughed: "Sun Kewang, and Li Dingguo, I recognize you two fellow villagers in northern Shaanxi, but Huang Hu can only say sorry. Huang Hu must die today!"
Although Zhang Kewang was very evident, the generals of Zhongzhen Camp hated him for his actions to take advantage of the situation. What’s more important is that under the current situation, as long as Zhang Xianzhong did not die, there would be no basis for cooperation with Xiying. If you want to cooperate, you must kill Zhang Xianzhong.
However, as soon as Yuan Zongdi finished speaking, Zhang Dingguo, whose original name was Li Dingguo, had already rushed through Yuan Zongdi's defense with more than a dozen light cavalry: "Father, don't worry, I'll save you!"
Yuan Zongdi was very anxious when he saw this scene. Although Li Dingguo only had a dozen light cavalry around him, even a few cavalry on this battlefield of life-and-death battle will cause huge variables. After all, the primary purpose of the Ming army of Yue today is to kill Zhang Xianzhong!
But he was about to turn around and block Li Dingguo, but Zhang Kewang had already rushed up with the horse team and entangled Yuan Zongdi: "Mianhou, I also recognize you as a fellow villager. Let's fight well, and leave my father's affairs to Dingguo!"
