Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 235 Chapter 235, Zhang Xianzhong fled in a hurry, and Li Dingguo's crisis emerged
"This is impossible!" Looking at the war situation in front of him, Zhang Xianzhong shouted in disbelief.

At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong began to doubt his life.

How did things become like this?

On the side, some confidants couldn't help but say: "My lord, let's retreat quickly!"

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't accept it, and roared angrily: "No, I still have hope, as long as I hope to succeed in the sneak attack, I can turn defeat into victory!"

There was a sound of horseshoes, and the left wing leader Liu Wenxiu led a cavalry of hundreds of people, and hurriedly came to Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong was furious: "Liu Wenxiu, why did you appear in front of this king if you don't go to command the troops and horses to fight against the Ming army?"

Liu Wenxiu's face was extremely gloomy, and she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, according to the news just received, Sun Kewang's entire army was wiped out, and Sun Kewang himself was killed by the Ming army! Now that the Ming army launched an attack on our army, our army has completely resisted it." Can't stop retreating across the board, please retreat quickly, Your Majesty!"

Liu Wenxiu's words completely broke Zhang Xianzhong's defense line, his body suddenly fell back, he felt countless thoughts colliding in his mind, and almost fainted on the spot.

After feeling dizzy for a while, Zhang Xianzhong murmured: "This is impossible, this is impossible!"

The other generals around looked at each other in shock, but as the shouts of death got closer, a large number of defeated soldiers began to appear around them.

This moment has proved one thing, that is, the Ming army will soon be killed!

Liu Wenxiu gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, we are running out of time, retreat quickly!"

Zhang Xianzhong came to his senses and said sadly: "Retreat? Where?"

At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong seemed to be ten years older.

Before today's decisive battle, Zhang Xianzhong was full of ambitions and vowed to defeat Zhu Cixi, the only army with combat effectiveness in the south of the Ming Dynasty, and directly engulf the south of the Ming Dynasty and use it as a base for the Northern Expedition, recreating the feats of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty.

But now, the ruthless facts slap Zhang Xianzhong in the face.

It turned out that he was not the second Zhu Yuanzhang, but the second Chen Youliang!

Liu Wenxiu said anxiously: "We can retreat to Jiujiang City and defend the city there! Quick, cover the king's retreat!"

Seeing that Ming's soldiers and horses had already appeared in sight, Liu Wenxiu and other generals simply stepped in and issued orders to Zhang Xianzhong's guards.

The commander of the guard also knew that something was wrong and immediately ordered all his subordinates to retreat behind Zhang Xianzhong.

Jiujiang City is not too far away from where Zhang Xianzhong and the others are at the moment, only a few miles away.

Around them, there were already countless defeated soldiers of the Great Western Army.

These defeated soldiers ran away in a chaotic manner, fearing that their parents would lose two legs. Some even wanted to escape directly through Zhang Xianzhong's guard formation. After being ordered by the guard commander to kill dozens of people, the other defeated soldiers came to their senses. Come on, learn to take a detour.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at this scene with some confusion, and his whole person seemed to be trapped in a huge emptiness.

This is the soldier of the Great Western Army?
Is this the army Zhang Xianzhong wanted to use to sweep the world?
Zhang Xianzhong's lips trembled, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

The gate of Jiujiang City was close at hand, Liu Wenxiu stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is here, quickly open the gate to welcome His Majesty into the city!"

Liu Wenxiu called out several times, but did not get any response.

Looking at the still closed door in front of her, Liu Wenxiu suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers with bows and arrows appeared on the city wall, and they shot towards Liu Wenxiu with their bows and arrows.

At this moment, Liu Wenxiu felt like he was dead. He pulled the reins of his horse desperately, turned around and ran away. He was lucky enough to run fast, and he was able to get out of the shooting range of the bow and arrow unharmed.

A very familiar face to Liu Wenxiu appeared on the city wall and shouted to Liu Wenxiu: "Brother Liu, please tell the king that this city has returned to the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Please ask the king to find another way!"

Liu Wenxiu was furious: "Traitor, if you dare to do this, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning!"

The Daxi guard on the city wall laughed and said: "A thunder strike? Brother Liu, you should worry about the life and death of you and the king!"

Liu Wenxiu became more and more angry. He knew that the opponent only had a few soldiers and horses that could be used. He wanted to rush into the city and kill the opponent, but now the Ming army was about to pursue him, and there was no such time!
At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong called from behind: "Wenxiu, come back."

Liu Wenxiu returned to Zhang Xianzhong, and said angrily, "My lord, these damned traitors are really..."

Zhang Xianzhong interrupted Liu Wenxiu's words: "What's the use of talking about it now? Let's go around the city and leave."

Liu Wenxiu glanced at Zhang Xianzhong subconsciously, only to find that Zhang Xianzhong was unexpectedly calm and calm at this moment.

Liu Wenxiu suddenly remembered a word - heartbroken.

Liu Wenxiu took a deep breath, and sternly shouted at the others: "Have you heard the king's order? Get out!"

The crowd hurriedly surrounded Zhang Xianzhong's chariot and walked around the city.

Mercedes-Benz all the way down, Jiujiang City has gradually been left behind.

Liu Wenxiu was relieved, and when she looked back, she was surprised again.

Unknowingly, there were less than 1000 people following Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Xianzhong.

Most of the people had quietly left the main force on the road and ran away on their own.

Liu Wenxiu felt a little sad in her heart, but more of it was anger: "These ignorant rats, wait until the king makes a comeback..."

A bang of a gunshot attracted Liu Wenxiu's attention, he raised his head subconsciously, just in time to see a bullet coming towards him at an almost invisible speed.

The next moment, Liu Wenxiu's chest was pierced, his face showed an expression of extreme pain, and he fell from the horse to the ground.

"Bang", accompanied by a heavy landing sound, Liu Wenxiu, the general of the Western Army who followed Zhang Xianzhong all over the country, made countless contributions and caused countless troubles to the Ming Dynasty, died.

More than a dozen wooden boats rushed out from the nearby river, and each wooden boat was full of musketeers.

"Don't let Zhang Xianzhong run away!"

"Kill them!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The musketeers fired a volley, causing chaos.

Zhang Xianzhong was pulled out of the chariot by the commander of the guards and fled directly into the reeds on the river bank.

The dense reeds blocked the sight of the pursuers, but the shouts of the Ming army were still loud, obviously not intending to give up the "big fish" Zhang Xianzhong.

After all, Zhang Xianzhong had been pampered for a long time. After running for a while, he was panting and sweating all over, but the sounds of the Ming army's pursuit and interception from all directions were getting closer and closer.

Zhang Xianzhong felt terrified in his heart and couldn't help crying out: "Heaven will destroy me!"

At this moment, a shout came to Zhang Xianzhong's ears suddenly: "Father, come here quickly!"

Zhang Xianzhong took a closer look and found a small boat approaching rapidly a few steps away. It was none other than his adopted son—Li Dingguo!
