Chapter 144
The spring of the 21st year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty.

Because of Yu Fei's arrival, Chongzhen lived for four more years, but now he has reached his limit.

After the great battle in the East China Sea, the secrets of heaven were in chaos, and no matter what kind of magic calculations were made, they lost their effect.

But failing to kill Yu Fei, the source of the catastrophe, after discussing with the old demons of the Demon Cult, they decided to act first and mixed many demon descendants into the rebel army.

In the beginning, the Ming army retreated steadily, and many places in Shanxi, Guanzhong, and Bashu were occupied by the rebel army backed by the Demon Cult. The rebel army also shouted the slogan of not paying food for three years, and for a while they won the support of the northern people.

The rebel army was also in full swing, and almost broke into Beizhili in the 13th year of Chongzhen.

It's just that there are too many people from the Devil's Cult in the rebel army. Seeing that they are about to conquer the world, they revealed their original nature and plundered people everywhere.

The popular support that the rebel army had gained quickly lost. At this time, Xin Chenzi and others who had practiced overseas for several years returned to the Central Plains and brought Cao Chengxuan to find Cao Bianjiao.

And Cao Bianjiao is leading the army to resist the rebels together with Lu Xiangsheng.

When the three of Xin Chenzi arrived, they had already lost three games in a row. Not only did they lack food and grass, their morale was also extremely low.

Cao Chengxuan persuaded Cao Bianjiao to leave with him, and Daming was hopeless.

However, Cao Bianjiao didn't study much, and he was quite cruel when he was a general. After hearing what his little cousin said, he laughed and said:

"I, Cao Bianjiao, was born in Daming, and I will die in Daming. Since the founding of Daming, my Cao family has been favored by Daming. Daming is right with the Cao family. I, Cao Bianjiao, can't let Daming down. If a man dies, he will die. What's the matter?" Scary?"

Cao Chengxuan was stunned for a moment, looking at his cousin's rather vicissitudes of face, but thought of his father Cao Wenzhao.

"Father was besieged, did you think so too?"

Cao Chengxuan found his master Xin Chenzi thoughtfully, and said that he wanted to stay and help Cao Bianjiao.

Xin Chenzi knew that Yu Fei valued this disciple and grandson very much, so he would not let him stay alone to take risks, but after discussing with Zhao Yan, he also decided to stay, at least when the most dangerous time came, he could take this disciple away.

More than half a month later, the uprising coalition army approached Baoding. When they arrived here, Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Bianjiao had no way to retreat. Behind them was Beizhili. With [-] soldiers and horses, they can't even stand on the top of the capital's walls.

Faced with an uprising army ten times larger than their own, and with the help of monsters, Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Bianjiao are ready to serve their country with death.

Following the order of Li Zicheng, the leader of the rebel army, Chuangwang, tens of thousands of rebels carried siege ladders and began to attack the city with ants. Together with Venerable Du Long, the leader of the Western Dian Demon Cult, they headed towards the city to kill.

Skeleton ghosts, demonic flames filled the sky, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who guarded the city were killed and ran around. The morale of the army was close to collapse, and a large number of rebels also killed the top of the city.

Just when Shang Heyang and Venerable Poison Dragon were proud of their masterpieces, Xin Chenzi and Zhao Yan, who had long been hiding among the ordinary soldiers, suddenly burst into flames, and two sword lights like the Milky Way intersected each other, aiming at the nearby The two Demon Cult leaders in front of them are just a twist.

Xin Chenzi and the two were less than a hundred feet away from him, and Jianguang appeared very suddenly. Before they could even react, they were twisted into two parts by Jianguang. Countless water droplets sifted the two souls into a sieve.

After killing Shang Heyang and Venerable Poison Dragon, the two leaders with the highest Taoism, the remaining devils, facing the Tianhe Fa-rectification created by Yu Fei, are not at all the enemy of Xin Chenzi who has broken through the Earth Immortal.

Although Zhao Yan is only a loose immortal, but the magic power cultivated by Tianhe Zhengfa is mighty, coupled with the refined Tianshui sword for body protection, he can compete with ordinary earth immortals.

The two of them carried the Tianhe sword light with them, killing hundreds of demons crying for their fathers and mothers.

Just when the situation at the top of the city was reversed, the gate of Baoding City suddenly opened wide, and Cao Chengxuan, who was only 14 years old, was wearing a war robe, holding the steel gun left by his father, and led [-] cavalry from the Cao family towards Li Zicheng. The Chinese army killed the past.

800 people are just like a small bug to Li Zicheng's more than [-] Chinese army, but it is this little bug that kills Li Zicheng's entire Chinese army like a sharp knife.

Cao Chengxuan had a steel spear in his hand, and no one was his enemy. The eight hundred cavalry used it as an arrow, and rushed from left to right among Li Zicheng's army, and all the generals who came to intercept were stabbed by his spear. He died, and even killed several anti-kings.

With the Chinese army being messed up by Cao Chengxuan, the already weak command system of the rebel army completely failed, and the army can only watch Li Zicheng's big banner actions now.

But in the face of Cao Chengxuan who kept coming towards the big banner, even the most elite boy army could not resist, and his nephew Li Heng was shot to death. Looking at Cao Chengxuan who was like a murderous god, Li Zicheng also panicked and hurried Command the army to intercept, while he retreated again and again.

As soon as the banner moved, the entire army followed suit, causing the chaos to expand.

Lu Xiangsheng, who had already killed the rebels in the city, couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw the chaos of the army outside the city, and praised Cao Bianjiao:
"Brother, he is also the overlord of the world."

After speaking, he hurriedly assembled his Tianxiong army. After a stick of incense, Lu Xiangsheng led his [-] Tianxiong army to commit suicide.

Li Zicheng, who took off his yellow robe and mixed into the crowd, saw that his banner had been chopped down by Cao Chengxuan, and the Chinese army was charged by Tianxiong's army. The defeat was irretrievable.

The army was defeated like a mountain, but facing the rebel army all over the mountains and fields, Cao Chengxuan and Lu Xiangsheng had few soldiers after all. Even if they tried their best to intercept them, most of them ran away, and less than 5 people were captured.

In this battle, not only Shang Heyang and Venerable Poison Dragon, the leaders of the Demon Sect in the uprising army, were killed, but Cao Chengxuan also killed seven or eight anti-kings and dozens of generals in the rebellious army. hit off.

There were also differences among the rebels. After Zhang Xianzhong gathered his own troops, he turned back to central Shu and attacked Yunnan in the south.

The rest of the little anti-kings also separated from Li Zicheng to find their own places to develop.

Originally, this was a good time to take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack, but the army had no logistical supplies, and could only watch helplessly as Li Zicheng gathered the defeated soldiers and regrouped.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had been corrupted to the extreme, and the southern provinces had been paid Liao pay year after year, and there was great resentment towards the imperial court. It had become normal for officials to take the lead in resisting taxes.

In the north, there was already a severe drought, and the people could not survive, so they rebelled.

Chongzhen now has to borrow even 10 taels of silver reward from the ministers of the court, and the supplies such as grain and grass can only be solved by Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Bianjiao themselves.

The army had no food and wages, so they could only rob the people, but Lu Xiangsheng was not those warlords, so he could only wrong his soldiers and take some food from some big families in the surrounding counties to make ends meet.

After leaving the customs, Jin Nuzhen kept shutting down the customs again and again. The warlords in Liaodong, who had money to take, went out of the city to fight a dozen to make a show.

Now Ming Dynasty seems to have a lot of troops, but there are not many troops that can obey Chongzhen.

Faced with such a situation, even though Lu Xiangsheng used his soldiers like a god and Cao Chengxuan was invincible with a steel spear, it was still more and more difficult to support in the end.

On this day in the 21st year of Chongzhen, after all, he still couldn't hold on. After seven days of food shortage, he was defeated by the increasingly powerful Li Zicheng.

And Xin Chenzi and Zhao Yan were also besieged by many members of the Demon Cult, so they could only escape with Cao Chengxuan and a few others.

Without Lu Xiangsheng, the only loyal army, Li Zicheng marched all the way to the capital city. The huge capital city was not defended for even a day, and the gates were opened by the courtiers who had already betrayed.

And Emperor Chongzhen was also in despair. After killing his concubines and children with his own hands, he hanged himself on Meishan Mountain just like the original history, and there was still only one eunuch Wang Chengen beside him.

Xin Chenzi and the others who fled were also hunted down by members of the Demon Cult along the way.
