Before hanging himself, Chongzhen lifted the table

Chapter 223: Also leaving a mark in history
One word to describe a sharp archer is called a hundred steps to pierce the poplar.

I think back then, when Lu Bu, the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms, shot his halberd at the gate, it was as still as a hundred steps piercing the poplar.

Nowadays, although Emperor Chongzhen's archery skills are within a hundred steps, the problem is that the war elephant's eyes are a little bigger, and he is still running. Can this be shot? ! !

The moment he was thrown out, both Sha Dingzhou and Prince Long were shocked: Is this still a human being?
The running war elephant was blinded by the shot and fell to the ground, and immediately rolled far away. Then he struggled up again and ran away in a panic. He stepped on someone unlucky and was trampled to death.

Li Zicheng and other chieftains who came out from the side naturally could not escape Emperor Chongzhen's divine arrows. Almost when the war elephant fell, the war horse was also shot in the crotch and fell. No one had an accident and could continue to charge on horseback.

In front of the two armies, there was only one person still riding a horse, and that was Emperor Chongzhen.

There was still one man and one horse. Although they were holding a bow instead of a gun, their aura seemed to be particularly tall amidst the groans of the many men and horses who fell to the ground.

Is it arrogant to challenge twenty or thirty rebel leaders with one person?

Nowadays, I am afraid that no one has the word "arrogant" in their mind anymore!
This is the God of War, the god descending to earth, so he is very confident!

At this time, there was no sound on the entire battlefield except for the groans in front of the two armies. It was as if even the wind was frightened by the emperor's magic arrow skills and did not dare to blow the flags to make a sound.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the men, horses and war elephants in front of him, then looked at the rebel camp in the distance, and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone else who wants to rebel?"

The shout spread far away, but no one responded.

"Is there anyone else who wants to rebel?"

Emperor Chongzhen shouted again, but still no one dared to respond.

"Is there anyone else who wants to rebel?"

Emperor Chongzhen shouted for the third time, but in the end no one dared to respond.

The emperor is such a master of shooting. As long as the emperor is not exhausted and as long as the emperor still has arrows, no one can get close to him! No one can beat him!
Seeing no one responded, Emperor Chongzhen got off his horse and walked to Prince Long who was closest to him and fell half to death. He looked at him with his broken leg and groaned. He stretched out his foot and stepped on his chest, lowering his head. Looking down, he shouted: "What do you think, you really think that a tiger is a sick cat if it doesn't show off its power? You want to provoke me based on your mere strength, Dongwu?"

After he finished speaking, he exerted force on his feet, and the pain immediately made him scream like a pig.

Sha Dingzhou was lying a few steps away from him, King Long, with a broken arm and both legs. He was also moaning there. But when he saw the movement on his side, King Long, he was so frightened that he didn't care to moan. He subconsciously crawled with his good hand, trying to get further away from the emperor.

It was okay that he didn't move, but Emperor Chongzhen noticed him as soon as he moved. Then he walked over and stepped on Sha Dingzhou's back, crushing him to pieces.

Emperor Chongzhen still looked down at him, exerted force on his feet, and shouted coldly: "You, a chieftain who has no worries about food and clothing, dare to rebel, you are very ambitious!"

Sha Dingzhou screamed when he was trampled, and hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life, I don't dare to do it anymore, I don't dare to do it anymore. It was Li Zicheng, the traitor who instigated it..."

His strategy of moving the disaster eastward is really effective. When Emperor Chongzhen heard him mention Li Zicheng, he raised his head and looked down the official road. He remembered that Li Zicheng tried to outflank him from below the official road on horseback, and then he shot the horse to death.

In the field below the official road, there were also some men and horses lying groaning.

So Emperor Chongzhen walked down, hoping to find Li Zicheng.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as he walked down the official road, he saw a man suddenly jump up in the field, and then ran madly towards the rebels.

Judging from his skill, he didn't seem to be injured much, at least he was running very fast.

When Niu Jinxing saw it, he was immediately surprised and shouted quickly: "It's His Highness, His Highness is fine, His Highness has escaped!"

When Song Xiance saw it, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "His Highness has rich experience in battle, how can he be compared to others! Did you see that, instead of being injured, His Highness seized the opportunity? The current emperor did not carry the bow and arrow with him, he He ran away so fast that when the current emperor goes back to get his bow and arrows, it will definitely be too late. This is a good time!"

When Liu Zongmin, Yuan Zongdi and others saw him, they rushed out to meet Li Zicheng.

Not to mention, Li Zicheng is really not cunning. Although he is blind in one eye, he does have rich battle experience. When the horse fell, he fell hard, but with his years of experience, he still saved himself from serious injuries. At this point, it is not comparable to those toasts.

Moreover, he did not jump up and run away immediately, but kept pretending to be seriously injured and secretly observed the emperor.

When he saw that the emperor dismounted without a bow and arrow, and was far away from his own horse, and seemed to be going down the official road to find him, he seized this opportunity and fled back madly.

I have to say that when it comes to escape skills, he is indeed first-rate.

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly realized that someone was running away, and he was really stunned for a moment. Judging from the difference in clothes between him and the chieftain, he could confirm that the man running away with his back turned was Li Zicheng.

Even if it wasn't Li Zicheng, he would never allow him to escape like this under his eyes!

However, if Emperor Chongzhen went back to get his bow and arrows, Li Zicheng would be able to run very far.

Others might not be able to shoot Li Zicheng, but Emperor Chongzhen was confident that even if Li Zicheng ran a hundred steps away, he could still hit him.

However, Emperor Chongzhen did not do this at this time.

In front of him lay an injured and whining war horse. So, he bent down and held one of the horse's legs, and immediately used his strength to swing the horse.

Emperor Chongzhen was seen holding the horse's legs, swinging the horse around twice and then throwing it away.

The huge body of the war horse roared out like a cannonball with a loud sound. Li Zicheng was running away when he suddenly heard a loud sound coming from behind him and was a little surprised.

So, he continued to run away while turning his head to look.

Then, he was dumbfounded!
I saw a horse flying! And it was extremely fast, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"boom!"

With a sound, the war horse hit the fleeing Li Zicheng and knocked him to the ground. The war horse continued to roll forward for a while before stopping.

Li Zicheng, who had escaped very quickly just now, lay motionless on the ground.

Everyone, whether they were officers and soldiers of the imperial court or soldiers of the coalition forces, were stunned when they saw this scene. Even Liu Zongmin, Yuan Zongdi and others who had just galloped out stopped their movements.

Maybe some of them know that the current emperor is very strong, and that the shield used by the current emperor is made of iron and weighs a hundred pounds.

However, ordinary people's concept of this is not very profound.

Now, an adult war horse, although it is not a tall horse, still weighs more than five or six hundred kilograms no matter what. Most people can't lift it at all. It can even be said that it takes several people to lift a horse.

As a result, such a heavy horse was actually picked up by the current emperor, and it could be thrown so far, and it accurately hit the fleeing people.

Who else could have this strength?
You know, this happened after the emperor shot so many arrows that most people would be afraid that their arms would be sore.

It can be said that everyone will be deeply impressed by how powerful the emperor is at this time!
Picking up a horse and smashing away the fleeing people will become a legend, a myth, and then spread widely!
Regardless of whether Li Zicheng was beaten to death or not, his life was still worth it!

Because he will be remembered in history, not because he rebelled, but because he will be the only person in human history who was killed or injured by a horse like this!
The current emperor's bravery must be engraved in the hearts of all those watching the battle at this moment.

With such a brave emperor, whoever rebels against him is just dreaming!

After coming back to their senses, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court all gave a huge cheer in unison: "Long live my emperor!"

As for the coalition forces, everyone looked at the man in the middle of the battlefield with sadness. Many people even knelt down and bowed their heads to confess their sins.

The emperor is the son of heaven! The scene before us can already prove that the current emperor is indeed the Son of Heaven! How to fight this?
Even most of the people who didn't kneel had absolutely no fighting spirit or intention to rebel.

For Li Zicheng's men, they had no fighting spirit. After being defeated again and again, many of them had even secretly surrendered to the imperial court. Now that they have seen the emperor's bravery, they can also get the emperor's pardon. Li Zicheng is almost alive, so why should they rebel?

For the people of Sha Dingzhou and the other rebel chieftains, if the chieftain is gone, facing the powerful imperial army and the mighty current emperor, even if they want to continue to rebel, it is impossible to win!

Not to mention, for ordinary soldiers, it is even more impossible to rebel when the chieftain who restrained them from rebelling is dead.

The ones who are most worried are the [-] elites of King Long.

They were foreign troops, unfamiliar with the place, and they acted according to King Talong's will. But now, King Talong was captured alive by the current emperor, and they had no one to give orders.

Then they saw that the emperor of the Celestial Kingdom was so brave that they could not match them at all. The awe for the Central Dynasty rose again from the bottom of their hearts.

At this moment, it seems difficult to accept surrender; however, if you don’t surrender, King Long has been captured. The heavenly soldiers on the opposite side are elite at first glance, and they are led by a god-like emperor. They cannot be opponents at all!
The heavenly soldiers on the opposite side were cheering, as if they were going crazy. Fighting against well-equipped madmen, you are the madman!

For the imperial officers and soldiers, Fan Jingwen and Du Yinxi saw for the first time the extent of the emperor's martial prowess. No, the expressions on the two of them ranged from shock to joy, and they kept mumbling, not knowing what to say!
Among all the people, only Fang Zhenghua was the calmest. Because he had known this scene for a long time.

So, I heard him remind with a smile: "Two adults, Long live the thief has been arrested in the capital, it's time for us to take the stage!"

Fan Jingwen and Du Yinxi came to their senses and said yes again and again. Then, the imperial army came forward, but the coalition forces had no fighting spirit at all. Except for a few people who escaped, a decisive battle of tens of millions of people was originally planned. , it ended like this!

This time in the Battle of Kunming, it can be said that the current emperor defeated hundreds of thousands of thieves by himself!
Emperor Chongzhen once again created a miracle in Chinese history, no, in the entire human history!

In this battle, no one on the imperial court's side was killed or injured, leaving the Lanling Camp almost useless.

On the coalition side, apart from the chieftains, all tens of thousands of people surrendered, and only a few of the chieftains fled.

For example, in Sha Dingzhou's department, his wife Wan Shi, military counselor Tang Jingbin, in Li Zicheng's department, general Liu Zongmin, military counselor Song Xiance, etc., as well as part of the Annan army and part of the Toungoo dynasty's army.

Emperor Chongzhen handed over Sha Dingzhou to Mu Tianbo, which made Mu Tianbo burst into tears of gratitude. On the same day, he took Sha Dingzhou to the graves of his mother and wife for blood sacrifice.

Although Li Zicheng had rich war experience and could escape even if he fell from his horse, he was hit by Emperor Chongzhen's horse and died that night.

A generation of heroes, in the original history, died in Jiugong Mountain. It was an accidental death; now in this plane, it is also an accidental death. He was crushed to death by a flying war horse. There is no one else!
The imperial officers and soldiers immediately divided their forces into multiple groups, and in a very short period of time, they regained control of the entire Yunnan almost without a single blow.

At the end of the 20th year of Chongzhen, when the year was approaching, Emperor Chongzhen did not rush back to the capital. In fact, he did not have time to rush back, so he held a year-end imperial meeting in Kunming.

The Yunnan Governor's Yamen is now the temporary residence of the Holy Emperor. In the lobby, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the civil and military officials standing in Tangxia and said with a serious expression: "It has been nearly 300 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. It is inevitable that I will doze off sometimes. Always. There are some short-sighted barbarians who covet us while we are dozing off. They invade our borders and kill my people. If such things are not punished, I will definitely do it again when I, the Ming Dynasty, doze off again in the future!"

At this point, his expression became more serious, and he shouted with a firm voice: "I have decided that for these barbarian countries, they must pay the price of national subjugation. This is a warning for future generations and a warning for other countries! Those who dare to violate the Ming Dynasty , I will destroy it!"

His meaning was very clear. When the Ming Dynasty became strong, those countries that had invaded the Ming Dynasty would be liquidated and destroyed. No country would dare to attack the Ming Dynasty again when the Ming Dynasty was weak.

In one sentence: Anyone who offends the Ming Dynasty will be punished!
