Chapter 206 Go to Nanjing

Li Xing's arrow was about to hit the general's face. Unexpectedly, an arrow flew from the side and knocked down Li Xing's arrow.

Unexpectedly, there are such sharpshooters among the Qing soldiers!

No wonder they chased Li Zicheng's Dashun army from Shaanxi to Henan.

The Han officer hurriedly retreated, while the Qing general who was shooting arrows showed off his power in front of the formation, running back and forth to challenge the Dashun army.

But the Dashun army was the people who were afraid of being beaten by the Qing soldiers. Who would dare to go out to meet the enemy?

When the Qing general saw the deep ditch and barrier here, he did not dare to go out. There were only a few soldiers standing on the high cliff, probably some leaders, and they shot long arrows at Li Xing.

I saw the arrow carrying the wind, and with a "chi" sound, it flew to the front door. Li Xing waved his long sword, cut the incoming arrow into two pieces, and fell to the ground.

The Qing general brandished his sword, and he didn't know what he was talking about. It was probably not a good thing.

A group of people had already rushed down the mountain to kill the Qing general.

There were ten soldiers in this group. The Qing general did not want any help, so he came to meet these ten people with only one person.

These ten men were also strong generals. They rushed forward, surrounded the Qing general, and slashed them with their swords. The Qing general relied on his own bravery and showed no fear. He rode on his horse, dashed left and right, and swung his long sword in all directions, forcing the Dashun soldiers not to dare to move forward.

At this time, the young general who led the team also had some skills. When General Qing turned around, he rushed in front of the horse and slashed the horse with his sword.

The Qing general knew it, and as soon as he lifted his horse, the young general's long sword was slightly deflected. The horse flew into the air, and the Qing general was in mid-air, with an arrow in his right hand, and shot an arrow towards the young general.

With a "whoosh" sound, it hit the young general's shoulder. The young general suffered pain and ran away. Seeing that the young general was wounded and running away, the Dashun soldiers suddenly lost their spirit and fled up the hillside one after another.

No matter how brave this young general was, he could not stop him and watched the nine soldiers escape.

At this time, the Qing general had reined in his horse, turned his head, and fired with arrows, wounding three or four soldiers on the spot.

Here, I saw it from the mountain and hurriedly directed a large number of Dashun soldiers to rush down the hill.

These tens of thousands of Dashun soldiers surrounded more than a hundred Qing soldiers in Gaixin, and they fought for a while.

I saw blood and flesh flying everywhere, and these more than a hundred Qing soldiers were mixed in with the Dashun soldiers, which made the people here feel afraid and did not dare to open their bows and shoot arrows.

On the side of the Dashun Army, Li Xing led the heroes to rush down and picked out the Qing soldiers to kill them.

The Qing soldiers were no match for these martial arts masters. They fled one after another. The Dashun army here picked up their bows and arrows and shot at the Qing soldiers. In a moment, several Qing soldiers fell from their horses.

Fortunately, this group of Qing soldiers were all riding fast horses. They were out of range in the blink of an eye, but they also shot down a dozen Qing soldiers.

This group of Qing soldiers was no match for the Dashun soldiers, so they had to retreat to Luoyang.

Fortunately, a large number of Qing troops are still near Luoyang, so it is still safe here.

After Li Zicheng had deployed his troops, he did not return to the county seat. Instead, he stayed in the mountain camp and discussed with the generals day and night.

Yang Shucheng saw that Li Zicheng and other generals were very busy, but he seemed fine.

He went to find Chen Shaoyong. He was sad about the death of his beloved disciple and was not in a good mood to stay with Yang Shucheng.

He Jinhua, who was leading a group of female soldiers, had no time to spare. Yang Shucheng couldn't even enter her military camp, let alone talk to her.

Only Fang Xiaoli came to stay with Yang Shucheng despite her busy schedule. After a while, a female soldier came to invite her back to the military camp.

Spent the night. At dawn the next day, Li Xing came to see Yang Shucheng. The two sat in the military camp, drinking wine and eating a pot of stewed goat meat.

Li Xing analyzed Yang Shucheng and got information that the Qing soldiers were leaving Luoyang to attack the Dashun soldiers.

Now Li Zicheng feels that Deng County is too small to serve as a base, so he wants to attack Nanyang City to fight against the Qing soldiers. However, the Qing soldiers are now highly motivated and unstoppable. The next step is to go to the south in order to make a comeback.

Now, the Qing army is strong. I heard that King Xiaofu has become emperor in Nanjing. We want to join forces with him to fight against the Qing army. Thinking that you and he are friends in need, we would like to ask you to express Li Zicheng's wishes.

"Will he agree?" Yang Shucheng hesitated. After all, the two families were enemies. Li Zicheng even cooked and ate his father, and even forced Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself.

This is the first emperor to hang himself since ancient times.

Li Xing analyzed for him that the Qing Dynasty had already settled in the capital and became the emperor. It was sending two armies to seize the country of Han Dynasty. They pursued our Dashun army all the way, and the other army set off from Shandong. The troops only reached the Huaihe River. Attack the city of Nanjing. Although we and the Zhu family have sworn hatred, we are both facing a common enemy now. I think he will consider our wishes.

Yang Shucheng asked: "Should I go alone?" He was worried that going alone would be a huge task. If something went wrong on the way, the loss would be huge.

Li Xing said: "General Bai Yuyao and I will accompany you."

"Okay, when do you leave?"

Li Xing said: "The situation is extremely urgent. After we finish drinking, we will set off."

As soon as he said, "Where can I eat mutton and drink wine?"

Li Xing walked out of the tent. After a while, he and Bai Yuyao came on horseback, both of them carrying large bundles on their backs. They were packed with gold and silver jewelry to give as gifts after arriving in Nanjing.

Bai Yuyao's wife Liu Yuqin also came on horseback. Bai Yuyao wants to send her back to Liujiazhuang first.

A group of four people galloped on horseback.

Yang Shucheng didn't have time to say goodbye to He Jinhua and Fang Xiaoli, so he asked a Da Shun soldier next to him to tell them on his behalf.

The four of them rode horses and headed south, from Henan to Hubei, along Tongbai Mountain, and towards Dabie Mountain.

After walking for more than twenty days, we arrived at Liujiazhuang in the Dabie Mountains. In the village, Bai Yuyao told Dashun that Emperor Dashun was driven out of the capital and was chased by Qing soldiers along the way, so he had to send Liu Yuqin back and that he would go to Nanjing.

He was about to travel far again, so he stayed in Liujiazhuang for a few days. On this day, after breakfast, the three of them got on their horses and headed east.

I rode until noon and then came to a restaurant. I sat in the restaurant and handed the horse to the waiter to feed the horse.

Sitting in a restaurant, they ordered a large bowl of pig head meat and a large pot of wine, and the three of them sat and drank.

At this time, people in the restaurant were heard talking. It turned out that Zuo Liangyu, who was stationed in Wuchang, had left Wuchang and led an army of 200,000 people along the river towards Nanjing. He said he wanted to "clear the emperor's side" and kill Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng. The two treacherous ministers who have harmed the country have been leaving for more than 20 days now.

Li Xing was shocked after hearing this. He whispered to the two of them: "Now that there is internal strife in the Ming Dynasty, the Qing soldiers will take advantage of it. What should we do?"

Yang Shucheng saw that he was anxious. He had always been calm, but today he was panicking. Things must have gotten out of hand, so he said to him:

"General Li, is there any remedy?"

General Li Xing pondered for a while and then said: "Let's not go to Nanjing first. Now we should turn south quickly to catch up with Zuo Liangyu and persuade him to turn back to Wuchang and form a horn with Nanjing, involving part of the Qing army in order to slow down Nanjing." pressure."

The plan was decided, the three of them finished their drinks, got on their horses and headed southeast without further delay.

It was not until evening that we found a hotel to rest.

When they got up the next day, the three of them had a simple meal and then rode toward the southeast.

At this time, passers-by heard rumors that Zuo Liangyu's army had been stationed in Jiujiang and had stopped moving forward.

Li Xing calculated the distance and found that he could catch up with Zuo Liangyu in only seven or eight days.

At this time, it was also heard that in order to deal with Zuo Liangyu who was coming down the river, the Nanjing court withdrew the three armies stationed in Huaibei to prevent the Qing troops from moving westward. There was a gap in the northern guard, and the Qing troops had already sent troops south.

Li Xing and the others did not dare to delay and came all the way to Jiujiang.

On this day, I came to a county town by the river. This county town had not been wiped out by the war. The city was still intact and the people still lived and worked in peace and contentment.

The three of them found a big restaurant and sat inside to drink.

This city is right on the Yangtze River. The three of them ordered several plates of Yangtze River fish and dishes and started drinking.

The three of them were drinking while looking out the door. A group of people came from the street. When Li Xing looked up and saw them, his expression immediately changed.

When Yang Shucheng saw Li Xing's expression change, he hurriedly looked out and took a look at the group. He was also surprised and quickly lowered his head, fearing that the group would see him.
