Chapter 234 Revenge for the King

Li Xing saw a Qing general standing on the mound giving command. As the saying goes, to capture a thief first capture the king, and to shoot a man first shoot a horse. Full of grief and anger, Li Xing rushed towards the mound with all his strength.

Along the way, Qing soldiers came to intercept them. Li Xing used his power and stabbed several Qing soldiers to death with his long sword.

Yang Shucheng and Bai Yuyao over there saw Li Xing rushing towards the mound as if he didn't care about his life. After taking a look, they immediately understood what Li Xing had done.

The two of them each used Qinggong and ran towards Li Xing, killing the Qing soldiers along the way. Those who moved slowly were assassinated by the two.

The three of them formed a group and charged towards the mound.

The Qing general standing on the mound saw the three men rushing towards the hill like tigers. He understood what the three of them meant, and hurriedly spread his flag and called for other Qing soldiers to surround them.

A large number of Qing soldiers came to kill them.

The Dashun soldiers had also been on the battlefield for a long time. They immediately saw the situation clearly and shouted towards the Qing soldiers to kill them.

Instead, these Qing soldiers fled in all directions, and the Dashun soldiers surrounded them and killed them with one against ten, killing them till they were on their backs. For a while, their flesh and blood flew everywhere, and they screamed incessantly. The Qing soldiers gradually couldn't resist and were about to be defeated.

The three Li Xings were surrounded, which aroused the fighting spirit in their hearts, and they used their special moves one by one. The three long swords were like three dragons, flying up and down, splashing blood on those who blocked them.

The Qing general stood at a high place and could see clearly. He couldn't help praising the three men for their bravery. As they came all the way south, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty fled away. In today's battle, he looked at the Dashun army in a different light.

The three of them didn't understand what he was thinking, and they each used their own unique skills. The three swords appeared and disappeared, and immediately a bunch of Qing soldiers fell everywhere, rolling on the ground, and the sounds of pain came one after another.

The three of them broke out of the siege and charged towards the mound.

When the general saw the three people rushing up the mound, they were about to rush in front of him. Although he could escape, the Qing soldiers were very disciplined. If he escaped, he would be killed when he returned.

He took the spear and rushed down the mound first.

Three people just happened to meet him, and four people were killed in one place. This Qing general relied on bloody battles step by step to reach his current status, but he was unlucky to meet these three people. The three of them surrounded him, fighting like a revolving lantern.

In just three or four rounds, three long swords pierced his body. The general was still clear-headed and knew that his life was at stake. He swung his spear in a semicircle and forced the three men back.

He thrust the spear into the ground, and the man stood still leaning on the spear.

The three men killed the Qing generals. When the other Qing soldiers saw it, they shouted and fled in all directions.

The Dashun army knew that their emperor was dead, and everyone was filled with grief and anger. They rushed to kill the Qing soldiers. They chased the Qing soldiers for seven or eight miles like chopping melons and vegetables along the way, killing the Qing soldiers to pieces. , only a few people were left, and fled back on horseback.

Here, Li Xing and three others are standing on the mound.

By this time, the sun had already set over the mountain, and its afterglow still dyed the west a bloody red.

After a while, the Dashun soldiers came back one after another after encircling and suppressing the Qing soldiers.

Their generals also came to see Li Xing and the other three. Among these generals, one of them was recognized by Li Xing. Another person was recently promoted and he didn't know Li Xing yet. The rest of them heard Li Xing's name. It was already thunderous.

They bowed to the ground and cried: "The emperor has been killed by the Qing soldiers. What should we do?"

Li Xing was comforted, and only then did he know the general situation.

It turned out that after Li Zicheng occupied Wuchang, Qing soldiers immediately surrounded him and killed him three times on the edge of the city.

Dashun's army was defeated and retreated south.

When they reached the Xianning area, the Qing soldiers and Zuo Mengeng's Ming army pursued them together.

Li Zicheng discussed with the leaders of his subordinates, and most of them retreated towards Hunan in an orderly manner. Li Zicheng led a small force to stay near Jiugong Mountain to contain the Qing troops.

On the morning of this day, Li Zicheng led more than a dozen soldiers on horseback to Mount Jiugong and looked at the Qing army camp from a height. I saw that the Qing military camps were so densely packed that you couldn't even see the edge.

Li Zicheng had a narrow escape from death and had seen countless large battles. As he went down the mountain, he was thinking about strategies to break the army.

At this time, a group of Qing soldiers patrolled up the mountain. When they saw a group of people riding down the mountain, they surrounded them.

Both sides rushed to fight.

Unexpectedly, a cold arrow came and hit Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng turned over and fell off his horse. The soldiers nearby immediately covered him. At this time, Li Zicheng was dead.

When more than a dozen soldiers knew that the emperor was dead, their eyes burst out with fire, and they charged at the Qing soldiers with swords and guns.

Helplessly, the number of soldiers killed increased, and they surged up like a tide, killing more than a dozen soldiers, leaving only one soldier unkilled.

After questioning, it was discovered that they had killed Emperor Dashun.

In order to gain credit, this group of Qing soldiers immediately came up the mountain and cut Li Zicheng's body into pieces.

When Li Xing heard the tragic death of Li Zicheng, he fell to the ground in pain. Thanks to Yang Shucheng and Bai Yuyao, he revived him.

Other Dashun soldiers gathered around, thinking about the emperor's tragic death, and they all fell to the ground crying.

Li Xing sat on the grass, filled with grief and anger. He suppressed his grief and anger and cried:

"Now is not the time to cry. Let's summon the old troops immediately and fight the Qing soldiers in a bloody battle to avenge Emperor Dashun."

The generals said: "We all listen to General Li."

Li Xing stood upright in the night like a statue, his angular face full of perseverance. He said slowly:

"We are now gathering other troops to gather together and fight them."

"it is good!"

"We listen to General Lee."

A group of people, led by Li Xing and others, came towards the south of Jiugong Mountain.

It was late at night, the moonlight in the sky was unclear, insects in the grass were chirping, and a team moved forward in silence.

At this time, there was an avenue across the road, and there was a sign beside the road that read "Jiashan Temple".

Li Xing said to the generals: "My brothers have been killing for a while, and now we are exhausted. I think it is better to rest in Jiashan Temple."

The other generals had no objections, so they called for the team to come towards Jiashan Temple.

Walking on the flat road, we soon arrived in front of the temple. We could only see the mountain peaks on both sides sandwiching the temple, rising into the sky, and looking at the sky, it was pitch black.

In the middle is Jiashan Temple. The temple is quiet and there is no light at all.

Everyone quietly came to the temple. Li Xing and others pushed open the ajar door of the temple and walked in.

This is a large local temple that was once very popular and famous far and wide.

There is no one in the courtyard now.

The team dispersed to search. Is there any monk? After searching around, I didn't find a single monk. There was no food and vegetables in the kitchen and it was covered with dust. It seemed that the temple had been deserted by people.

This is not surprising. There is a chaos of war now. People from all walks of life gathered near Jiugong Mountain. They came and went and fought several big battles. Although the monk had nothing to do with the world, he still escaped in the troubled times because it was important to save his life.

This is an ownerless temple, and the team is temporarily arranged in the temple to bury pots for cooking.

After running around in the middle of the night, the soldiers were exhausted and lay down in the temple in twos and threes. Although there were nearly a thousand people, there was silence.

Li Xing and the three generals were sitting in the main hall, discussing the next move.

At this time, the rice was ready, and Li Xing was holding the rice bowl. He was motionless, but he couldn't take down his chopsticks.
