Chapter 180 The Death of Li Shuangxi

Li Laiheng captured Bozhou. Turha was so brave that he escaped Li Laiheng's interception and fled to Xuzhou.

Li Laiheng was waiting for news from Xiangyang, but there was no news of Duoduo's withdrawal for a long time.

what happened?Duoduo should not ignore Bozhou and Xuzhou.

"Old Jiu, does Duoduo dare to give up the Eastern Front?" Li Laiheng asked.

"It shouldn't be. Unless there is something wrong with the Dashun Army itself."

"Well, I'm worried that they're in a mess. If they withdraw from Xiangyang, everything will be over, and we can only fight alone."

"General Tian Jianxiu is under control, and it is said that he ran into the emperor."

"Everyone with vision was abandoned by the emperor, and Dashun has no chance." Li Laiheng's expression was very calm, and an indescribable loneliness emerged spontaneously.He traveled through hundreds of years, and it was hard to find a bosom friend.After a while, he said to Lao Jiu, "Don't wait for Duoduo, let's attack Xuzhou."

In Bozhou, Li Laiheng replenished the army horses, and now his elite can use double the horses again. From now on, he can gallop on the battlefield of Guangbao again.

Since Duoduo may give up the Eastern Front, is it possible to consider developing an Eastern Group based on Anhui and Shandong?If you can,.

Li Shuangxi led fifty fast riders straight to Mingyue Mountain.According to intelligence, he learned that Niu Jinxing fled to Mingyue Mountain.

The fifty cavalry led by Li Shuangxi were all elites from his own barracks, enough to deal with Niu Jinxing's men.He must arrest Niu Jinxing as soon as possible. Li Zicheng will leave Xiangyang tomorrow, and he is responsible for Li Zicheng's guard.Therefore, there is not much time left for Li Shuangxi.

Although Li Zicheng was very angry at Niu Jinxing's escape, when Li Shuangxi left Li Zicheng, he repeatedly told Li Shuangxi that although it was important to hunt down Niu Jinxing, it would be fine if he couldn't catch him.

In Li Zicheng's mind, he was still very attached to Niu Jinxing, so he didn't want to kill Niu Jinxing in his heart.

Li Shuangxi finally traced Niu Jinxing's whereabouts after a day and a night of raiding.It turned out that Niu Jinxing and the others were ready to flee half a month ago, and they had already sent people to settle here.

Niu Jinxing chose an old Hu family's house as his new home. There were many houses here, but the Hu family members withered and the few people left were driven away by the people sent by Niu Jinxing.Half a month ago, he sent his most trusted person here as a place for him to hide and settle his old age.

Niu Jinxing had a plan when he was in Xi'an, so he deliberately searched for gold, silver and treasures. After several months of secret operations, he has accumulated a lot of property, and it is not a problem to feed dozens of people.

He was going to hide his name and become a country gentleman.

Niu Jinxing had only arrived at Mingyue Mountain for less than half a day when the report arrived, and Li Shuangxi led his troops to chase him down.

Niu Jinxing was shocked.

"How many?" he asked.

"More than 50 people."

Niu Jinxing pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed fiercely, he squeezed out a few words through his teeth, and said in a sinister way, "You little devil really dare to chase after you, don't blame me, Niu, for being cruel!" He turned to a man in armor. said, "Kill them all! No one will be left alive."

"Obey, no one will be left alive."

The person who spoke was a dead man raised by Niu Jinxing half a year ago. This man was specially sought out by Niu Jinxing. He was brave and cruel.

When Li Shuangxi came to the foot of Mingyue Mountain, he didn't dare to make mistakes, so when he reached the foot of the mountain, he politely said that he wanted to see Niu Jinxing.

Niu Jinxing didn't come out, but his steward came out and said, "Oh, General Li, you're here? Our Master Niu started to have a fever the day before yesterday and was unconscious. We slaves took it upon ourselves to take him here captive." Yes. He is seriously ill now, and we dare not let him be exhausted from marching every day, so we took the liberty of hiding him here, and waited for him to recover from his illness, and then came to chase the troops. Oh, I didn’t expect the general to know it by magic. We hid Lord Niu here. General Li, we know that this is a capital offense. Even if the emperor forgives us, Lord Niu will definitely not forgive us when he wakes up. However, as slaves, we only know the word loyalty. So even if Master Niu kills us, we can only do this. Please General Li understand our painstaking efforts as slaves."

Li Shuangxi naturally didn't believe this nonsense, but he couldn't point it out. He pretended to be surprised, "Oh, Mr. Niu is sick, why didn't you tell me earlier? Since you are sick, of course you can't sit on the saddle and have to rest. That's how it should be done." , let Master Niu recuperate here, and I will leave these soldiers here to protect Master Niu."

"Let's leave General Li's personal soldiers alone. Now that the battlefield is in need of manpower, how dare you let the general's personal soldiers sit idle here?"

After talking a few words, Li Shuangxi said, let me meet Master Niu.The steward first said that he was afraid that Mr. Niu was suffering from the plague, so he couldn't see it, but later he couldn't resist, so he had to let Li Shuangxi see Niu Jinxing on the mountain.

Li Shuangxi knew there was a risk.However, he was very confident that the fifty soldiers he brought were all elite soldiers, and they could fight ten against one. Therefore, he was confident that it would be no problem for him to kill Niu Jinxing and then retreat completely.

Li Shuangxi sent a signal to his soldiers to fight.They planned to assassinate Niu Jinxing and leave quickly, never wanting to fight.

When I came to an old house, it was very big and gloomy, with long corridors and tall beams, all of which indicated that this place used to be a big family.

Niu Jinxing lay on the bed without moving a bit, as if he had really become very heavy.

Just when Li Shuangxi was about to greet him, suddenly, Niu Jinxing exploded.

A steel knife was thrust towards Li Shuangxi's abdomen!
It was too late when Li Shuangxi found out that Niu Jinxing was not on the bed. A three-finger-wide steel knife was deeply inserted into his abdomen. He wanted to draw the sword, but the person on the bed gave him a second knife.

The house is not big, and it is difficult for people who flock in to use it.Before Li Shuangxi's personal soldiers had time to fight back, their combat effectiveness was basically lost. Fifty personal soldiers were ambushed and killed in the long corridor.

Not a single one was left alive.

Before Li Shuangxi could say a complete sentence, he was killed by his own people.There is no one to report the letter.

The fight was short, not exceeding 5 minutes.

Niu Jinxing turned around from a house, and smiled very satisfied with his elite, especially the dead soldier who personally killed Li Shuangxi, he nodded and let out a cheerful "hum" with his nose.

"Let's go, this place is not a place to stay for a long time, no matter how hard you work, we will go to a paradise to have fun." Niu Jinxing said.

The army had already started, but Li Zicheng didn't see Li Shuangxi coming back. He revised his retreat time for the second time. Up to now, it was more than a day beyond the planned departure time. If he waited any longer, the danger would increase exponentially.

"Wait, wait, wait."

Now only Li Zicheng's central army and Li Guo's rear troops are left in Xiangyang City. If they wait any longer, they may not be able to escape the pursuit of Azig and Duoduo.

"Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer. General Shuangxi will catch up by himself, let's go." Song Xiance urged several times.

"Did you encounter any danger?" Li Zicheng asked.

"No, General Shuangxi is both wise and brave. He will not be in any danger." Song Xiance knew that there was no basis for this statement, but he could only say so.

Just as they were talking, it was reported outside the door that Shuangxi's soldiers had returned.

A wounded soldier was helped in.

Looking at the situation, everyone can understand what's going on, but they still have to ask clearly.

"Where's General Double Happiness?"

"The general was killed by soldiers and horses ambushed by Niu Jinxing, and the minister was also knocked unconscious. After waking up, there were only fifty of our bodies. The general's head was taken away by Niu Jinxing. The minister only took the general's body. Bring it back." The seriously injured soldier replied.

Li Zicheng stared blankly, his eyes trembling, but there was no sound, and everyone was stunned, no one noticed that Li Zicheng was unable to support his body.

"Pfft!"

Li Zicheng fell heavily to the ground.

Li Laiheng had already received the news that Li Zicheng had withdrawn from Xiangyang. He sighed a long sigh and said quietly, "History is really hard to change."

Immediately, he said to his subordinates: "Attack Xuzhou, then attack Jining and Tai'an."

It's a grand plan.The next step is to attack Tianjin and Beijing.This was a melee situation, the main force of the Qing soldiers went south, while Li Laiheng's main force went north, so Li Laiheng could form a separatist force across Shandong, Henan, and Shaanxi, dividing the Qing soldiers into two.

Li Laiheng headed for Xuzhou.

Li Zicheng was bitten tightly by Azig.Duoduo devoted himself to dealing with Li Guo.

Li Guo's [-] elites blocked Duoduo's way to the south.It's the fifth day of fighting.Although it was tragic, Li Guo's soldiers knew that Duoduo could not be allowed to advance. It was already very difficult for Li Zicheng's central army to deal with Azig.

Li Guo didn't have too many slogans, he only knew how to take the lead, and his soldiers didn't have too many rhetoric, only knew to rush and fight with the coach.

Duoduo has seen Li Guo's ferocity, and he often spends it with him, which is something no one wants.However, if you meet your opponent, what can you do if you don't fight for consumption?

Li has over 3 people and there are still [-]. He estimates that Duoduo dare not fight him for a long time, because their goals are different. Duoduo has too many people to deal with, and so many Han people are still waiting for him to conquer , and Li Guo, they are just trying to survive for the time being.

Liu Zongmin was severely bitten by Azig, and he led five thousand elite soldiers to block Azig, but he did not expect Azig's combat power to be so amazing.

Azige personally led [-] light cavalry to charge Liu Zongmin's position. Liu Zongmin thought it was not a big deal at first.However, the facts were unexpected, his soldiers were extremely weak today, almost collapsed without a fight.

Liu Zongmin beheaded several people in a row, but the defeat was like a mountain, how could he stop it?
The 5000 men led by Azig came over like a broken bamboo, and Liu Zongmin finally had to lead the remnant soldiers to defeat.In one breath, he ran for sixteen or seven miles, and chased after Li Zicheng's main force.

"Your Majesty, go quickly, the enemy is chasing you!" The first thing Liu Zongmin did after seeing Li Zicheng was to tell Li Zicheng to run quickly.

When Li Zicheng heard this, he panicked. Where had he seen such a panicked Liu Zongmin?Since he was in such a panic, he must have encountered a powerful enemy.

But can you run?If no one breaks off, is the rout still worth it?

Li Zicheng has a lot of hardcore buddies, a lot of loyal and foolish ones.Hearing that the Qing soldiers were chasing him, he was a little confused at first, but he calmed down soon.Later, there were quite a few people vying for the finale.

Zhang Nai said: "Brother Shuangxi is dead, I want to avenge Brother Shuangxi! I'm here to end the queen."

"No! You protect the emperor personally." Liu Zongmin said.Now, Liu Zongmin has calmed down. His commanding ability on the battlefield is very strong, and no matter how flustered it is, it will be short-lived. He thought about the whole battle situation and said: "Zhang Nai, you are protecting the emperor. If there is any mistake, I will ask you. , you can’t leave the emperor half a step away, and I’m the one to make the decision. Just now, Azig was too aggressive, so he didn’t pay attention to it for a while, and suffered a bit.”

Li Zicheng said excitedly to Liu Zongmin: "Brother, you are more reliable. If the world is really peaceful one day, let's share the world."

"Your Majesty, we don't need to be polite. We will live and die together. When we encounter a crisis today, I, Liu Zongmin, naturally have to stand in front. Well, you guys hurry up and find a good ferry to cross the river. I will stick to it. Even if it is death I won't let the Qing soldiers catch up with you." Liu Zongmin said.

"Zong Min, don't say that, I won't let you die, you can't die, you have to come back alive." Li Zicheng said.

The farewell words between heroes will not be too long-winded. Liu Zongmin selected [-] elite soldiers and began to organize the defense line.

Li Zicheng hesitated for a moment, then turned around resolutely, and led his troops to rush towards the southwest.

Liu Zongmin stood on the hillside on horseback, watching the mighty Qing soldiers approaching.They did not organize an attack immediately, they formed a square formation and waited for the order of their commander.

Azig has arrived.

He stood in front of the formation, talking to his subordinates.It seems that they are not prepared to give Liu Zongmin a chance to breathe.

The war is about to begin.

Li Laiheng successfully captured Xuzhou. His intelligence system told him that his father Li Guo had a terrible fight with Duoduo a hundred kilometers south of Xiangyang. There were only less than [-] of the [-] soldiers, and Duduo was also miserable. , his [-] main force is less than [-].

Li Laiheng really wanted to run to the southwest, but reason told him that going to the west would lead to a tragic ending. It was impossible for Li Zicheng to change his fate because of his rush to help, because he was only interpreting history.History has decided that he must disappear, so he can only disappear. Li Zicheng is not a time traveler, so he will either disappear in Jiugong Mountain in the near future, or become a monk at Xiashan Temple in Shimen County.

"Attack to Shandong!" Li Laiheng did not continue to worry about Li Zicheng's gains and losses. He attacked Shandong according to his own ideas, established the East Group, and cut the whole of China from the middle.
