Chongzhen Undergraduates

Chapter 345: Counter-pursuit

The hunchback led the people to run as hard as they could, but still left behind a dozen corpses of their comrades.

Wu Sangui picked up a firecracker and held it in his hand. He reconfirmed that it was a new type of firecracker, and the quality was better than those used on the Suining battlefield.

"Chasing." Wu Sangui smiled slightly and got on his horse.Then he didn't gallop the horse, but kept urging his subordinates.

"My lord, don't we go forward?" Ma Bao was very surprised. Based on his understanding of Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui should be more interested in capturing the emperor with his own hands.

"Remember, Ma Bao, when you encounter enemies who use this kind of firecracker in the future, don't get too close, otherwise you will die very quickly."

People like Wu Sangui are definitely sensitive to new things. He can talk to Ma Bao like this, which is definitely enough to make Ma Bao willingly work for him.

Zhu Youjian and Xiong Lijing took the hundred and ten people and hid not far from the south of the town. They watched wave after wave of people heading east.

"When will you come over?" Xiong Lijing asked anxiously after Wu Sangui had already left Da Luo with people leisurely and headed east.

"Let's catch up and follow him first, and then attack from the north of them, forcing him to flee to the south." Zhu Youjian stood up, and then slumped out.

Wu Sangui rode on the horse and pulled out the binoculars.The group of enemies in Sichuan army uniforms in the distance has been locked by him. They have been running for half an hour, and they are still within his sight with this kind of binoculars.

The front is an open field, which is an excellent chasing field. Wu Sangui is very satisfied with the environment in front of him. He is so desperate that even God is helping him.

"You all go over and help!" Wu Sangui was still dispatching the few guards around him, and he controlled the whole process like a falconer.

"Crack!" Just as Wu Sangui was getting carried away, a sound came from the north.A bullet flew past his cheek, instantly making him feel hot and painful.

"It's a pity, I didn't shoot it." Zhu Youjian retracted his gun in disappointment.This is a fuzzy gun specially made for him, using expensive copper bullets.

That is to say, the kind of "high-end goods" that need to smash the bullet into the barrel of the gun and then fire it. The effective range can reach 400 meters.

Zhu Youjian's shot was fired 350 meters away, but it still missed Wu Sangui by two centimeters.

Wu Sangui was really frightened, he had already seen a group of black shadows only one foot high running towards this side [-] paces away.At this distance, he never thought that he could hit someone with a firecracker.

Wu Sangui turned around and ran away, the shot just now was a bit too scary.

The opponent is coming from the northeast and the town is on the west, so it is easy to be surrounded when he enters; only by running south can he get out of range in the fastest time.

"Go and tell Ma Bao, let them all come back and save me." Sangui was afraid of death, so of course he chose to run south, and he didn't hesitate at all.

When Zhu Youjian saw that Wu Sangui really ran south, he immediately laughed, and the counter-chasing plan was successful.

"Hurry up, get on the horse and chase after him." Xiong Lijing couldn't help saying, she twisted her waist and rolled onto the horse's back, her movements were more agile than Zhu Youjian's.She is very happy now, and she doesn't care about Zhu Youjian's poor riding skills.

It is true that the emperor Zhu Youjian knew how to ride a horse. As for his riding skills, he did not dare to compliment him too much.

Zhu Youjian chased after him leisurely, he was too familiar with the south, that was the way they came here, and there were subordinates of the Xiong family in the villages along the way.

Wu Sangui may have been temporarily confused, so he ran south desperately.But after all, he is a great man of this era. When he ran two miles away, he saw someone stumbling on the rope in the south before realizing that he had been fooled.

"Go west, go west quickly." Sangui led more than 150 men to turn their horses and ran west again, but it was too late, and the distance between the two sides was shortened to [-] steps.

"Papa..." A burst of firecracker bullets hit the armor of him and the guards.Zhu Youjian's personal guards are not vegetarian either, they are already able to shoot with flintlock guns on horseback.

"My life is over!" Wu Sangui had already started to prepare for the negotiation in his head.

"My lord, you go first, we are here to block." Wu Sangui's personal soldiers were also very strong, and instantly divided into two teams, one team started to counterattack and the other team covered Wu Sangui and fled towards a hill.

The soldier's arrow skills are so good that he shoots the arrow as soon as he draws the bow.In a blink of an eye, several pursuers were killed on the spot.

"Damn, Guan Ningjun's arrow skills are pretty good!" Zhu Youjian flew an arrow past his ear, scaring him off his horse and looking for a place to hide.

Judging from the team's tactical cooperation, Wu Sangui's personal soldiers are definitely veterans, with shields, swords, guns, and archers in an orderly manner in offense and defense, and they can advance and retreat freely.

"How about it, can't you beat it?" Zhu Youjian hid in a straw nest and smiled at Ji Biao.This kid has been coaxing, but this time he met his opponent.

Ji Biao blushed, his cheeks puffed up with anger.

"You don't need the grenades, why don't you keep the roasted sweet potatoes?" Ji Biao jumped up, scolding and running around constantly, he wanted to avoid the opponent's bows and arrows and then attack to the distance where he could throw the grenade.

Zhu Youjian's personal guards, who originally wanted to play solo training with Wu Sangui's personal soldiers, immediately reacted.If you don't play with big bombs, who will play heads-up with you!

After a few explosions, several of Wu Sangui's subordinates who survived the explosion rolled on the ground with their helpless eyelids rolled up. The armor on their bodies had been torn into many pieces by the explosion.

Zhu Youjian squeezed forward and glanced at the equipment of these people, feeling really uncomfortable.These equipments are all excellent, at least better than the defenders on the riverside now.It's so ironic that Da Ming used Liao Xiang to cultivate a group of enemies.

"Where's Xiong Lijing?" Zhu Youjian remembered that he didn't see her during the battle.

"Miss Xiong has brought someone to chase after Wu Sangui." A soldier replied.

"Go, go and help." Zhu Youjian was a little worried, there were only dozens of people on their side, and a few were broken just now.

Based on Zhu Youjian's understanding of Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger the most, and that's how he treated Li Zicheng in Yiyishi back then.

When Zhu Youjian chased after him, Wu Sangui's sword was on Xiong Lijing's shoulder on a small hill.

"Wu Sangui, what do you want?" Zhu Youjian got off his horse and stared at Wu Sangui with a gloomy face.

"It turns out that the emperor has really arrived, so please forgive me for not being able to salute today." Wu Sangui said, and the sword in his hand directly touched Xiong Lijing's neck.

"Wait." Zhu Youjian shouted quickly.

"Hahaha...it turned out to be a lady. I just don't know which one it is. Compared with Chen Yuanyuan, who would the emperor like more?" Wu Sangui immediately knew that Zhu Youjian cared about this woman very much.

"Wu Sangui, let her go first, what happened today has nothing to do with her as a woman." Zhu Youjian said.

"People say that you are not joking, but I, Wu Sangui, don't believe it today. She is a killer move as soon as she makes a move, so it has nothing to do with me?" Wu Sangui looked at Zhu Youjian with some amusement.

"Wu Sangui, you big traitor, you must have never imagined that I am Xiong Tingbi's daughter, right?" Xiong Lijing glared at Wu Sangui viciously and said without waiting for Zhu Youjian to speak.

"Oh! I understand now. I believe you are a descendant of Master Xiong. But why did you kill me?" Wu Sangui was puzzled.

"You Liaodong military circles used to support the bandits, and in the end, Liaodong was completely corrupted. My father proposed a complete solution to Liaodong, but you and some people in the court joined forces to block it. Your father Wu Xiang didn't tell you about these things. ?”

As soon as Xiong Lijing finished speaking, Zhu Youjian and Wu Sangui were amazed on the spot. It was the first time they had heard this kind of statement.

"Otherwise, Liaodong ancestral family, how did your Wu family get rich?" Xiong Lijing looked at Wu Sangui jokingly.

"Nonsense, my uncle Zu Dashou is loyal to Daming..."

"Forget it! I thought raising the bandit's self-respect so that I could control it in my own hands, but I found out that I had raised a big tiger. In order to kill the tiger, I kept asking the court for money. If I gave the money, I thought I could kill the tiger. Trapped, the tiger turned around and bit the man. Is Zu Dashou really for Daming?"

Zhu Youjian felt that he had an extremely angry emotion coming from the bottom of his heart today.

When Wild Boar Pi boasted that he had thirteen sets of armor to raise troops, could Daming really be unable to destroy him?Who indulged the growth of the wild boar skin? I am afraid that this matter is really impossible to verify.

But there is one thing, Liaodong has fattened up a group of warlords and dragged down Daming. This is an iron-clad fact.
