Chapter 645 Killing Zhang Xianzhong

Zhang Xianzhong stayed in the cave and kept receiving news of his defeat.

Li Zicheng sat next to him, worried.

It was still dark, and the mountains and plains were full of officers and soldiers outside. They would not be able to break through if they went out at this time.

Neither of them spoke, they just kept looking out of the cave.

But today's dusk seems to be extraordinarily long.

Not far from the entrance of the cave, there was a sudden burst of shouting and killing.

Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng stood up at the same time, and put their hands on the handle of the knife at their waists.

They know that the tide is over.

Li Zicheng smiled miserably, and said to Zhang Xianzhong, "General Zhang, it seems that our road has come to an end."

Zhang Xianzhong smiled grimly, and said, "King Li Chuang, I have thought about this day since the day I raised my army. I just didn't expect this day to come so soon. Think about how many people I have killed over the past few years. In Chengshan, the women who have played with them can be compared with the emperor's harem. Hehe, I have never played with a lady from a rich family, or a young lady from a poor family! Already!"

Li Zicheng also smiled slightly, but somewhat reluctantly.

In his eyes, there is more boundless loneliness and unwillingness.

With a stiff smile, he said, "General Zhang, when I killed the kingdom that had favored me in Yulin, I was very panicked. But after I led the brothers to fight the first battle with the army, I didn't panic. Because I believed at the time that the Ming court was exhausted, now is the time for our generation of heroes to compete in the world. I am not afraid of General Zhang's jokes. At that time, Li thought he was a hero of the time, and he had high ambitions and great ambitions Ha ha, it's a pity...God's will tricks people."

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Li Zicheng, as if he saw himself in the mirror.

Isn't Li Zicheng's original thoughts exactly what he thought at that time?

To rise up from the pole, to compete in the world, and to control the wealth, honor, life and death of the people in the world with one hand, isn't it what you want in your life?
It's a pity that everything is just a dream.

How real this dream was.

Until, that unbelievable monster appeared.

The sound of fighting was getting closer.

Zhang Xianzhong pulled out his waist knife and said to Li Zicheng, "Chuang Wang, how about going out to kill with me? It would be a pleasure to see the scene of blood flying before dying!"

Li Zicheng smiled wryly, "General Zhang is truly a warrior. If that's the case, then Li has no choice but to accompany him to the end!"

There were fifty or sixty Zhang Xianzhong's personal guards in the cave, most of them were well-cultivated, and upon hearing the words, they all pulled out their weapons, ready to help Zhang Xianzhong make a final breakthrough.

However, when they rushed out of the cave, they completely dismissed this idea.

Because the entrance of the cave has been surrounded by the third and outer three floors of the coalition army, and those standing in the front are all people with even breath and strong breathing.

These people are Wang Datong, Zhiren, Meng Wei, Meng Hu, Chang Wuji and others. With them, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng could be held firmly even without the densely packed coalition soldiers.

The coalition forces outside looked calmly at the people inside, not in a hurry to make a move.

But Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to rush forward to die.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong laughed wildly, then raised his waist knife and shouted loudly, "I am Zhang Xianzhong, whoever wants to take my head, just come up!"

In such a desperate situation, but still arrogant, everyone in the martial arts present smiled faintly.

There is ridicule, but also admiration.

At this time, Meng Wei came up and said, "Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, do you want to die now, or die after seeing our Duke?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong immediately retracted his sword and said, "Qin Shuhuai is here? Good, great! Let him come, I really want to meet this monster before I die!"

Li Zicheng's eyes also lit up slightly.

Not long after, the coalition soldiers on the periphery shouted, "Welcome to the Duke!"

Afterwards, the soldiers gave way, and Qin Shuhuai walked up to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong without haste.

Zhang and Li opened their eyes wide, looking carefully at Qin Shuhuai, at the person who dragged them from heaven to hell.

As for Qin Shuhuai, he also took a closer look at these two heroes who stirred up the situation in the late Ming Dynasty in history.

After a while, Li Zicheng said suddenly, "Master Qin's prestige is still the same as before, hehe. Oh, it's time to call you Duke."

Qin Shuhuai smiled slightly, and said softly, "King Li Chuang, on the day of the Battle of Hancheng, I said that I would come to take your head sooner or later, remember?"

Li Zicheng nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for thinking about it. Mr. Li also said that day that he would come to you again one day. Very good, today you and I have fulfilled our wish."

In words, calm as water.

Qin Shuhuai left Li Zicheng behind, and his gaze rested on Zhang Xianzhong again.

But instead of the kindness just now, there was a icy chill.

In Qin Shuhuai's eyes, if Li Zicheng was the leader of the peasant army, then Zhang Xianzhong was purely the leader of the bandits.

Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang were in their territory, and they adopted a moderate policy towards the common people.After Li Zicheng or Gao Yingxiang captured the city, they seldom exploited the poor peasants who had no land or little land. The main targets of his exploitation were officials and the wealthy class.Moreover, in most cases, even when dealing with rich people and officials, he does not aim at killing people, as long as he can extort enough money, he will never kill indiscriminately.Even, after he invaded the Forbidden City in history, many officials in the territory used officials from the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhang Xianzhong was different.

Later generations said that Zhang Xianzhong slaughtered Sichuan. Although this statement may not be credible, he was indeed ruthless and murderous. This is not only clearly recorded in the official history of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but also in a large number of unofficial histories and folk stories There are many manifestations.

In addition, this person amassed money inexhaustibly, and every place he passed was empty, and his mind could not be compared with Gao and Li.Such a person can only be said to be a robber, not a leader of the peasant army.

Zhang Xianzhong knew that he would die today, so he pointed his sword at Qin Shuhuai and said, "Qin Shuhuai, I heard that you are the best in martial arts at a young age, do you dare to compete with your grandfather Zhang today?"

Qin Shuhuai spat out a few words coldly, "Don't dare, I'm afraid of dirty hands."

Zhang Xianzhong was taken aback for a moment, and then he burst out laughing, "Haha, are you scared? Unexpectedly, the dignified Duke An is such a coward."

Qin Shuhuai smiled contemptuously, then glanced at Meng Wei, giving him a murderous look.

Meng Wei understood, without saying a word, he flashed to Zhang Xianzhong, and then raised his knife and slashed towards Zhang Xianzhong's neck.But he didn't want Zhang Xianzhong to avoid the saber with his head sideways, and he dodged the saber, which shows that his skill is quite good.

Seeing that he hadn't taken Zhang Ni's head with a single blow, Meng Wei knew that he had underestimated the enemy, and he couldn't hold back, so he quickly used the ancestral saber technique, slashing three times in a row.Although Zhang Xianzhong's martial arts are good, they are far from reaching the realm of martial arts masters. In a one-on-one situation, he is naturally not the opponent of Meng Wei, the top master in the university.

After Meng Wei's three strikes, Zhang Xianzhong's neck suddenly tilted strangely, and blood flowed like a fountain.

Before dying, he finally fulfilled his last wish and saw the scene of blood flying.

However, the blood was his own.

Zhang Xianzhong immediately fell down.

During the whole process, none of his subordinates came to rescue him.
