Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 295 The Fall of a Generation of Heroes
Just now he ran all the way from the front, as fast as he wanted, but it took a lot of effort from his boss, even if he is a villager who is good at walking this mountain road, he couldn't bear it for a while.

"Great, you all hide, and no one is allowed to probe without my order."

Hearing the answer from the young man in front of him, Wang Ruohai was very happy, and immediately ordered everyone not to act rashly, not even poking their heads out without his permission.

Although he is a literati, he has read a lot of books, such as "36 Strategies" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" by heart.

Knowing what an advantage an ambush can be in a battle, not to mention the advantage of the ambush.

Just the moment the ambush soldiers came out, the earth-shaking shouts of killing, and the number of ambushes who couldn't count for a while, this was enough to make many ambushed terrified.

After hearing Wang Juren's order, these Xiangyong's family members really ambush behind the boulders, hide in the grass, or rely on the big trees to drive them away. The thieves hit head-on.

If they were allowed to fight the thieves with real knives and guns on the flat ground, even if they were one-tenth of their own side, these townsmen and servants would not dare to fight against them.

After all, they are just ordinary people who have never seen blood. They may be young and strong, and they may become thieves and travel hundreds of miles. Could it be that their physical fitness is worse than them.

That is to say, they have the advantage of intelligence, plus they occupy a favorable location, and they dare to ambush here, otherwise they would have fled long ago.

Who doesn't have a wife and children to support, here for some people, for the court, and the thieves, they come here only when they lose their minds and go crazy.

Soon, a scattered sound of horse hooves reached the ears of Wang Ruohai and others.

Undoubtedly, this is the gang of thieves we found earlier, Wang Ruohai thought to himself.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes and knights' conversation getting closer, Wang Ruohai couldn't hold back anymore. He didn't know whether he was afraid that these people would stop moving forward, or that they would ride away quickly.

Wang Ruohai didn't wait for these knights to enter the encirclement he had set up beforehand, so he stood up and ordered everyone to besiege and kill Li Zicheng and others.

"Kill them all, don't let these thieves go away." Wang Ruohai jumped out from behind the big tree, shouting at those Xiangyong and servants hoarsely.

The next moment, dozens of Xiangyong and servants jumped out from the woods and behind the boulder.

Those Li Zicheng's guards were caught off guard and looked at Wang Ruohai and the others dumbfounded, and some of them were almost thrown down by their horses.

Obviously, not only the people were shocked, but even the horses were frightened.

However, Li Zicheng was not a vegetarian. The battles he fought and the road he traveled during the march were far longer than many people walk in their lifetime.

"Draw out your swords and kill these troublemakers." Li Zicheng quickly reacted.

He was born in a poor peasant, and at a glance he recognized that the people who surrounded him and killed him were ordinary Xiangyong.

But Naihe marched in the mountain trails, the formation was a long snake formation, and there were only three cavalry in the front.

Although the knights with pitchforks and rakes were cut off by the knights with their swords as soon as they approached, but there were too many of them, and these knights couldn't deal with the sudden appearance of the braves for a while.

At the same time, Wang Ruohai panicked when he saw that the townspeople had no power to fight back.

"Why are these thieves so powerful in combat?" Wang Ruohai never expected that these people's combat effectiveness would be so strong.

After encountering the ambush, it took only a few breaths to react, and then he slashed desperately on the horse. Even though he was crowded in this mountain trail and lost his speed advantage, he didn't appear to be slow in responding.

"Master Wang, these thieves are not easy to deal with, what should we do?" At this moment, several servants saw that the guards around Li Zicheng were difficult to deal with, and felt withdrawn, not wanting to fight, so they came to ask Wang Ruohai's opinion.

Wang Ruohai had a frightened look on his face, obviously he was also frightened by Li Chuang's guard.

These servants thought to themselves, this Master Wang has never seen blood, and he was frightened by this incident today, so he must be eager to escape back soon.

In this way, he and others can take the opportunity to escort him and escape back.

They are paid monthly to work, and they don't like to work hard for no reason. If it weren't for Wang Ruohai's title of Juren, they wouldn't even want to leave the landlord's compound.

Just when he was thinking of retreating, Wang Ruohai suddenly saw the crossbows and fire guns behind these people, so he had an idea and came up with an idea.

"Don't you have crossbows and firecrackers, take them out and shoot them for me." Wang Ruohai said excitedly, pointing to the crossbows and firecrackers behind the servants.

"Okay." Seeing that Wang Ruohai was so excited, they couldn't go against Xing's head, so they took down the crossbows and firecrackers from behind, and aimed at Li Zicheng and his guards after they were loaded.

"Let go!" Wang Ruohai gave an order, and dozens of arrows, crossbow bolts, and blunderbuss flew in the direction of Li Zicheng and his guards.

This time, the luck of Wang Ruohai and others was very good, two of the thieves were hit by the arrows, crossbow bolts, and blunderbuss shot out.

One of them was Li Zicheng.

A guard was hit on the thigh by a blunderbuss, bleeding profusely, and a few arrows were pierced into the armor, but no flesh was injured.

But Li Zicheng was unlucky, and a crossbow arrow shot straight at his forehead, smashing a small hole in his hard skull.

The crossbow bolt was stuck on Li Zicheng's forehead, and he suddenly became silent. The guards beside him stepped forward to observe, and saw that he was exhaling more air than inhaling, blood was oozing out of his mouth and eyes, and he was dying.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay?" A guard came to Li Zicheng's side and shook Li Zicheng's body desperately.

In the end, Li Zicheng naturally remained motionless and did not respond, because he was already dead.

In fact, this is not the first time that Li Zicheng has been hit by an arrow in the head. He has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has kissed the arrow many times, and has brushed shoulders with death many times.

There was one incident two years ago when he was at the gates of Kaifeng City. When he arrived at the gates of Kaifeng City for observation, he was shot with an arrow by Chen Yongfu, a commander-in-chief.

Chen Yongfu's aim was very good, but his strength was not strong enough. The arrow shot straight into Li Zicheng's eye socket, blinding Li Zicheng in one eye.

But this time, Li Zicheng was not so lucky. The back of his forehead was fragile brain tissue, coupled with crossbow arrows that were far stronger than bows and arrows.

It's already good that he didn't fall off the horse. This is also thanks to his good habit of riding a horse and marching for a long time.
