Aspiration

Chapter 182 Entering Jiugong Mountain

Dorgon has noticed that there is a super strong force in Shandong.He had to prepare to attack Shandong.

This time, he had to lead the team himself.Azige is chasing Li Zicheng, and he cannot be allowed to fail.Duoduo and Li Guo got into a fight and couldn't escape for a while.

Therefore, he had to lead the army attacking Shandong himself.

However, when he was ready to attack, a piece of information made him hesitate.

Shandong is Li Laiheng's troops, and now they are fighting more and more.When he attacked Bozhou and Xuzhou, he only had more than 1 people. However, after capturing Jezhou, Shandong, his force suddenly increased to nearly [-].The original Ming army all took refuge in Li Laiheng.

This was only the first reason for Dorgon's hesitation, and there was another reason that entangled him.In the area of ​​Funiu Mountain in Henan, a powerful army is preparing to divide its troops to attack Shaanxi.According to the data there, there are as many as 15 people.

Dorgon was distressed.

He is not going to recall Azig, and he is not going to let Duduo retreat.He was waiting for news of Li Zicheng's annihilation.

Li Zicheng finally arrived at Fuhu Mountain.

After setting up the guard post, Zhang Nai came to Li Zicheng's camp.

Song Xiance introduced to Li Zicheng that Gao Yigong continued to go south to divert his attention; Liu Fangliang was going southeast as another suspicious soldier; Yuan Zongdi was going southwest and could cross the river tomorrow. Army banner number.The three suspects have been deployed, and it stands to reason that Azig should not know which one they want to pursue.

Azig's desperate pursuit was to kill Li Zicheng, so Song Xiance discussed with several generals and divided them into four teams.In this way, Li Zicheng's chances were reduced to a quarter.Of course, after fighting and breaking up all the way, there are less than 3000 people left behind Li Zicheng.

The number of people is a little less.There is no way, there are more people, the goal is bigger, the action is also very slow, and the supply is more difficult.Therefore, among the four teams, Li Zicheng's team is the smallest.

"Zhang Nai, you have set up the guard, go and rest. I have been exhausted for the past few days. Here, military adviser, can we rest for two or three days?" Li Zicheng asked.

"Our plan is to rest here for three days. One is to replenish food; the second is to rest and recover; the third is to consider the next move; the fourth is to find out the situation of some enemies. Therefore, we have to rest here for three days. God." Song Xiance replied.

Zhang Nai said: "Your Majesty, military advisor, I'm worried that the enemy hasn't been completely thrown off, and it will be troublesome if they catch up."

"Hehe, there are too many contingencies. How can there be no risk in war? After you have set up your guard, take the time to rest. The safety of the entire Chinese army depends entirely on you." Li Zicheng rarely smiled.

On the first night in Fuhu Mountain, everyone ate a full meal. Wu Ruyi bought a few pigs, a few cattle, and a group of chickens and ducks. They had a delicious meal.Li Qiang has become taciturn since Li Shuangxi was murdered, and he always played Li Shuangxi's role silently.

Several wives of Li Zicheng, Mrs. Gao, that is, Empress Gao, did not take the same road when they came out of Shaanxi. He walked from Hanzhong and entered eastern Sichuan, gathered troops there, and prepared to enter Hunan and Hubei along the Yangtze River east to support Li Zicheng. .The other wives all dispersed, leaving only Dou Meiyi who was sent from Funiu Mountain by Li Laiheng.Li Zicheng thought, it seems that this woman can no longer follow the ups and downs, and find a rich family to foster her for a while, and then come to pick her up after she has gained a firm foothold.Thinking of this, Li Zicheng looked affectionately at this haggard beauty, his heart was tightly gripped, and his heart ached.There is no way, I have to find a way to keep you tomorrow. As for whether to live or die, it is up to God to decide.

Thinking of being separated from her tomorrow, Li Zicheng pulled her body lightly, and was very tired, but Dou Meiyi saw Li Zicheng pulled her body, thinking that he wanted to be gentle, so she hurriedly arched into his arms and kissed him breasts.

Li Zicheng also stroked Dou Meiyi's skin, and soon, the passion between the two was aroused. Dou Meiyi took off her underwear and lay on Li Zicheng's body.

This stormy intimacy released the depressed mood that had been suppressed for a long time these days.Li Zicheng thought to himself that he must work hard to gain a firm foothold in the south, and then go north to drive the Tartars out of China.

Thinking about it, they fell into a deep sleep.

A group of cavalry dismounted quietly in the woods. About 500 troops armed with scimitars gradually approached Zhang Nai's cordon.

Too tired, Zhang Nai's security personnel also fell asleep with their long guns in their arms.

In addition to the sound of insects, there is the occasional sound of branches breaking.

A few soldiers protruding from the ground suddenly jumped up, and within a few seconds they rushed to the side of the security personnel. With a flash of cold light, the security personnel did not have time to wake up in their sleep.

Zhang Nai's perimeter security had been torn open by the Qing soldiers, and a large number of Qing soldiers had penetrated into Li Zicheng's core.Although their numbers are slightly smaller, the victory is already clear.

They were not in a hurry to do it.They were looking for Li Zicheng's tent.

Zhang Nai slept soundly.Suddenly, he saw Li Shuangxi coming in, covered in blood, "Zhang Nai, why are you still sleeping here? The enemies are all coming in!"

When Zhang Nai turned over, it turned out to be a dream.His heartbeat was still fast, and he thought to himself, this is the first time he met Li Shuangxi in a dream, so he could not be the one to report the news, right?Thinking of this, he couldn't help but listen intently.

"Come on! The enemy is coming!" Zhang Nai heard footsteps, not from a few people, but from many, many people.

The soldiers are awake, everyone is awake.

"Kill!" Seeing that the Qing soldiers had been discovered, there was no need to hide anymore.

The hasty response of Zhang Nai's troops was doomed.

Two hours later, Li Zicheng finally left the battlefield.The blood on Li Qiang's body was still flowing, and he bandaged the wound with the help of another soldier of Li Zicheng's.

"Didn't Lady Dou run out?" Li Zicheng asked.

None of the soldiers in charge of Dou Meiyi followed up, and they were all killed.One of Li Zicheng's soldiers said, "Ms. Dou was captured by the soldiers."

Li Zicheng's eyes suddenly revealed a fierce look, "Has she been captured alive?"

Another soldier hurriedly said: "Madam Dou was not captured alive, she was hacked to death by the rebel army."

Li Zicheng was stunned.

At this moment, Zhang Nai led dozens of soldiers and fled here. Obviously, he was injured.

"Quick, go and pick him up." Li Qiang said to the people around him.

"Hurry up, the enemy is chasing us, I can't hold back anymore." Zhang Nai said hastily.

Li Zicheng recovered from the pain, he looked around, and there were only six or seven hundred left.Of course, these 700 people are all leftovers from the big waves, and they are all elite soldiers.

"Where is the high mountain ahead?" Li Zicheng asked.

"Jiugong Mountain."

Song Xiance said.

Although Li Laiheng has won successive military victories in Shandong, he has already occupied Jinan, and soon his sword will point directly at the Beijing-Tianjin area, but his mood is terrible.

He felt guilty in his heart, Li Laiheng was in pain when Li Zicheng was about to disappear.Although he knew that this was an unchangeable reality, he still felt uncomfortable.

Won't he go to Jiugong Mountain?
Looking at the big mountain in front of him, Li Zicheng's voice came to Li Laiheng's ears. "Your Majesty, in times of crisis, please remember that you must never go to Jiugong Mountain. There is a place called Shimen, and there is a temple there, Jiashan Temple"

Li Zicheng felt this indescribable feeling of entanglement, he couldn't tell what it was like.

"Military Master, is there anything special about Jiugong Mountain?"

"Jiugong Mountain is a place where troops can be stationed. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack." Song Xiance said.

"Ah?" Li Zicheng asked in surprise, "Then can we station troops here?"

Song Xiance said: "Your Majesty, Jiugong Mountain is a very auspicious place according to Yi Li. Jiugong, Jiu is the supreme, let alone the palace. Of course, it is very auspicious for the emperor to station troops in Jiugong Mountain. "

"Oh?" Li Zicheng was puzzled again, why did Li Laiheng repeatedly say that he could not go to Jiugong Mountain?He didn't tell anyone in the past, but today he had to tell Song Xiance about it.

"Is there such a thing?" Song Xiance was also puzzled. He had always admired Li Laiheng, and he also felt that there was something weird about Li Laiheng. He couldn't tell what it was, but this kid seemed to have a sense of foresight. "Your Majesty, we have to be cautious when we say that. Li Laiheng is used to being able to say what he says, so I would rather believe what he said than deny it easily. Li Laiheng has confirmed many things we have done in the past."

"Yes. It's a pity that this kid is not around. If he was around, we might not be where we are today. Military division, there is another person that I have always regretted. I am sorry for Li Yan. I killed this person by mistake."

"Don't mention the past, who can see foresight? Who is a sage? Many things can only be known later. Your Majesty, should we go to Jiugong Mountain or cross the river?" Song Xiance said.

When Li Zicheng was hesitating, suddenly, there was a roar of killing from behind, and a large group of enemies came chasing and killing. Li Zicheng roughly estimated that the number of enemies was about 1000.

"Zhang Nai, you lead 500 people to stop it." Li Zicheng shouted.

Zhang Nai didn't say much, he pointed his spear and rode his horse forward. Behind him were the elite of Li Zicheng's family camp.

Li Zicheng was not in a hurry to retreat. He believed that it should not be a problem for the 500 men in his own battalion to deal with the 1000 enemy men. They were once victorious troops and had never lost a battle. They could defeat ten with one.

However, the world seems to have changed and become very strange.His former elite quickly became very weak after rushing into the enemy's line today.

After Zhang Nai killed the first general, three enemy generals came to him.After Zhang Nai's spear pierced the opponent's body, another enemy general's broadsword slashed deeply into Zhang Nai's waist.He fell off his horse.

Li Zicheng saw the enemy general dismount and cut off Zhang Nai's head.

"No! Your Majesty, you can't go!" Li Qiang held Li Zicheng's reins tightly, and he couldn't let Li Zicheng charge forward.Li Zicheng was so angry that he almost exploded. He wanted to avenge Zhang Nai.

The enemy overtook the blocking troops, and they came to kill Li Zicheng.

"Quick! Protect the emperor and retreat!" Song Xiance shouted.

Li Zicheng was surrounded by people and retreated.

"Help me! Help me!" A shrill cry for help came from behind. Song Xiance was stabbed in the abdomen with a long spear by the enemy. Because he was short and light, the enemy general lifted him into the air with a gun.

Li Zicheng looked at Song Xiance's miserable state, and his anger almost burned him.

Song Xiance's shrill screams got farther and farther away from Li Zicheng.Li Zicheng couldn't help being pushed and dragged by his guards, and he walked quickly into the mountains.

Song Xiance's screams gradually disappeared.Is he dead? (Note: Later, it was rumored in the Jianghu that Song Xiance did not die. When the local people learned that he was Li Zicheng's military adviser, they helped him heal his wounds and persuaded him to surrender. However, Song Xiance did not surrender to the Qing soldiers. In the dark night, a small group of men and horses came to the cell where he was held, killed the guards in the prison, and burned the food and grass of Xiangyang Qing soldiers, and they came out of Song Xiance. Later, there was a small fortune teller in Beijing Ivory Hutong. He lived until he was a hundred years old and died without any illness. As for whether it was Song Xiance, no one has verified.)
Li Zicheng had no choice but to enter Jiugong Mountain.

Now, he only has about twenty guards.The enemy attacked several times just now, none of his men were captured alive, and all of them died in battle.

Li Qiang also died.

He died a heroic death. After killing two enemy generals, he was cut off by the enemy with two legs and two arms, and finally died with all the blood left.

His death bought Li Zicheng a precious quarter of an hour.Li Zicheng turned over the hill, and there was a downhill road there, and he rode his horse and quickly disappeared into the vast forest.

On the seventh day, Li Zicheng came to a mountain villa.

What a place!Surrounded by high mountains on three sides, two streams flow on both sides of the villa, and the front of the villa is a wide green lake.

It is also a great blessing in life to live here.

No, I'm only 39 years old this year, so it's too early to think about taking care of my life.What should be done now is how to establish a firm foothold, collect the remnants, and make a comeback.

How about a foothold here?He looked around at some guards, more than 20 people, can they take down this villa?
Of course, a villa is no problem.If Li Zicheng collected all his soldiers and horses, Mrs. Gao, Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Li Guo, etc. would still have considerable strength. Adding up all the remaining soldiers, he would still have [-] troops.

Now, it is impossible to collect them quickly. They are scattered in Hubei, Jiangxi, Sichuan and other places. They must fight against the Qing army and guard against the annexation of the Nanming. Therefore, Li Zicheng can only fight alone for the time being.

Well, let's start with these 20 people now.Take control of the villa in front of you.

Just as Li Zicheng was preparing to act in Jiugong Mountain, the people in the villa were also looking at the team at the entrance of the villa.

This villa is all surnamed Cheng. Among them, a middle-aged man named Cheng Jiubai was made the number one tiger in Jiugong Mountain by Tongzhou people. He is brave and good at fighting, and he is very good at dealing with bandits.This is called Chengjiazhuang. They have their own armed forces to deal with bandits and officers and soldiers who rob.
