Chapter 307: The times create heroes
Another ray of setting sun, just like that day, Li Zicheng suddenly fell from glory to the abyss. This time, Zhang Xianzhong also completely fell into the abyss.
"kill!"
The sword was swung desperately, and one official soldier after another fell under the sword, but the central army's flag was still so out of reach.
This desperate struggle in despair was not as unstoppable as imagined, but was like falling into a quagmire, and the orderly formation of the official army advancing and retreating was like waves, one wave after another, endless.
"Die!"
The voice was hoarse, Zhang Xianzhong's eyes were scarlet, and the sharp blade was already weak. Looking around, it was not the fear he had expected, but the hot and fanatical eyes.
He was very familiar with this kind of look. When he first joined the Rebel Army and gained a foothold, he wanted to climb up and look at the eyes of those enemies. This was the case!
That's not a human being, it's his promotion and the credit for letting him climb up!
Now, these officers and soldiers also regard him in this way!
We should take Zhang Xianzhong's head as their promotion and as their steps to climb!
The cycle of reincarnation in heaven, who will the heaven spare?
“Hahahahahahaha…”
Looking around at the officers and soldiers who were approaching step by step, Zhang Xianzhong smiled to the sky with a long smile, smiling with a ferocious face.
"Catch him, the general has an order to capture Zhang Xianzhong alive!"
At this moment, a general of the Ming army shouted loudly.
Immediately, a group of soldiers quickly surrounded him.
"Come on!"
Finally, Zhang Xianzhong shouted loudly, waved his sword, and Zhang Xianzhong rushed towards the official army formation in front of him.
Bloody, but two fists are hard to match four hands, not to mention that in the midst of the troops, they were drowned in the crowd in just a moment.
The order to capture alive has been issued, and Zhang Xianzhong also escaped the fate of being dismembered. In the end, like a pool of mud, he appeared in front of Huang Degong under the drag of several soldiers.
"Are you not dead?"
Huang Degong was obviously a little nervous. After all, he had issued a military order to capture Zhang Xianzhong alive. If he died, he would not be able to explain.
"Let go, General!"
The soldier grinned: "I have deposed several brothers before I have held him down. In case of precautions, we have specially picked up his tendons."
While Huang Degong breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but look at the soldier in surprise: "Why are you so bad at attacking? You haven't seen it before!"
"This guy has a good martial arts skills. If he doesn't do this, we can't suppress him!"
"Okay, give me the people. There will be military merits to count for your merits, and yours will not be missing."
Huang Degong walked forward, ignored Zhang Xianzhong's almost fiery eyes, grabbed his belt, and carried Zhang Xianzhong to the central army as if he was carrying goods.
"I'm lucky to be unfair to my fate!"
Huang Degong half-kneeled on the ground, and in front of him, he collapsed to the ground, staring at Zhang Xianzhong with anger all over his eyes.
"Zhang Xianzhong..."
Looking at Zhang Xianzhong who was like a pool of mud in front of him, Li Xiu's expression was also a bit complicated.
Zhang Xianzhong was captured alive, which means that all the anti-kings who had leveraged the Ming Dynasty in history have been killed.
There are talented people born in the world!
The natural disaster is unable to alleviate it. If the court still provides unfavorable relief, the next Zhang Xianzhong and the next Li Zicheng will appear again sooner or later.
But if there were no natural disasters, there would be no such world where people cannibalize people.
Li Zicheng may be just a postman, Zhang Xianzhong may be just a soldier on the side. Those anti-kings who have been famous in history may have been mediocre in the city...
This is also even though Li Xiu was in power, he never thought that he would kill these anti-kings who had been famous in history in advance.
He has never created the current situation, but he has created the current situation.
"Take it down, kill it, and pass it on to the world!"
Li Xiu waved his hand, obviously not too much interest.
Whether it is Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, it is just a puzzle in the chaos in the world.
Palm a puzzle, and countless pieces, waiting for him to palm.
The world's general trend is that long-term division will lead to unity, and long-term integration will lead to unity!
This is the ultimate truth that has not changed since time immemorial, and it is also the cycle of human nature evolution, which is destined to be like this.
All he could do was to make this unity belonging to the Ming Dynasty, as long as possible, extend it a little.
Although he doesn't know whether he can do it at the moment, at least he wants to do it, and he has no guilt for his heart...
...
"Ming Dynasty! Wan Sheng!"
In Datong City, heart-wrenching shouts sounded between blood and fire.
The city gate has been broken, and the plundering Mongolian cavalry has stepped into this important city at the border of the Ming Dynasty!
After nearly a month of persistence, this important city standing in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, without strong support, could not escape the fate of falling.
The so-called strategy of heavy cities and heavy troops is just a strategy of exchanging space for time when there is insufficient troops.
He used heavy troops to defend the important towns, delaying the pace of the Mongolian cavalry until Li Xiu led his army back.
"General, the last one will do your best!"
On the street, there were generals crying sadly, and the soldiers died, shouting that the Ming Dynasty was victorious, like moths flying into the flames, rushing towards the Mongolian cavalry rushing in.
Collision, blood blooms!
The high bright flag of the sun and moon was also falling in blood.
In August of the first year of Jingwu, Datong fell, and the Mongolian cavalry drove straight into Zijing Pass.
Since Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, the capital, which had never been truly peaceful, this time, under the might of the Mongolian soldiers threatening Zijing Pass, it was once again completely in turmoil.
At times of crisis, people urgently need a backbone.
In the past, the backbone was naturally the Duke of Qin who was invincible in the hearts of the people.
It was not until now that people suddenly realized that the Duke of Qin, whom they relied on as their confidence, was not in the capital, but in Shaanxi, thousands of miles away from the capital!
The differences between the officials of the court and the country, under the threat of the Mongolian military attack, also reappeared!
Some people advocated perseverance, waiting for the Qin State to settle Shaanxi fairly and return to the army to support it.
Some people also asked Your Majesty to issue an order immediately to summon the Duke of Qin to return to the capital.
In this court, the two factions have their own opinions and argue with reason!
And this is just one of the songs of chaos.
Some people were dismissed from office and refused to do anything, even participated in court discussions, some were secretly contacted, some people had ulterior motives, and some people were not sure about the many people who were interested in spreading remarks that had been exhausted in the Ming Dynasty.
The entire capital, under the influence of the Mongolian military power, was already a group of demons and demons, all of which appeared!
In such chaos, the busiest thing is naturally the Jinyiwei. The Tiqi cavalry is everywhere, arresting and killing, and all the means that can be used are used.
But even so, the chaos and turmoil of people's hearts are definitely not something that the Jinyiwei can easily suppress.
Since the news came, the city gates in the capital were crowded with people. I don’t know how many high-ranking officials and nobles who wanted to leave the city, as well as ordinary people who were aroused by rumors, all wanted to stay away from this place of disaster...
The entire capital is also like the rumor that it is full of the end of the dynasty and the energy has been exhausted...
The vicious cycle is intertwined between rumors and reality...
