Chapter 1024 Li Zicheng

In a valley at Wild Boar Ridge, a man with a left eye mask and a fierce face, wearing a piece of armor and a sheepskin coat. A man about thirty years old was staring at a man in front of him and said viciously.

"How did you promise me? You said that the officers and soldiers were about to arrive, and they would definitely pass through Wild Boar Ridge and set up an ambush here, but now? The officers and soldiers have arrived, but none of them came in. You said...what should I do?"

The man standing in front of him was nothing but the strong and tough man who escaped the day before yesterday. He took a deep breath in the face of scolding: "Boss He, I didn't lie. The officers and soldiers are indeed here. As for why they didn't enter the valley, I don't know, but this is common sense. After all, it's obvious that the officers and soldiers on the other side are not idiots, and he seems to have seen something?"

"See what a fuck!"

The one-eyed man pointed at the other party and scolded: "Li Zicheng, I tell you that if the officers and soldiers did not step into the Wild Boar Ridge today, even if you are the one who broke into the King of Rebellion, I will not be able to spare you!"

If Yang Feng were here, he would have been shocked. Unexpectedly, the famous bandit leader in history who forced Emperor Chongzhen to hang would be here, and he was scolded to death.

It has to be said that history still has great inertia. Li Zicheng, a guy from the postman, was still angry because he discovered that his wife Han Jin'er and Gai Hu had committed adultery. Then, he took his nephew Li Guo into a bandit in a desperate situation. This year, he defected to Gao Yingxiang.

Because Li Zicheng had extraordinary courage and a flexible mind, he quickly got involved in the team of the old camp and became a small leader who was surveillance. Unfortunately, he took a group of men to investigate the movements of the Ming army two days ago and was sneak attacked by Lao Daozi and his gang. In the end, Li Zicheng was clever and escaped as soon as he saw that the situation was not good.

After Li Zicheng escaped, he quickly reported the situation to Gao Yingxiang and pointed out that if the Ming army wanted to march towards Mengjin, it would definitely pass through the Wild Boar Ridge, a must-pass place. It was suggested that Gao Yingxiang gather the entire army to set up an ambush at Wild Boar Ridge and defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop.

I have to say that Li Zicheng's proposal was very bold, but Gao Yingxiang hesitated after hearing Li Zicheng's proposal.

You know, the Ming Dynasty today is not the dynasty full of holes in history.

Yang Feng and a large number of high-yield seeds greatly alleviated the damage caused to the Ming Dynasty by the Little Ice Age. Coupled with the demise of the Qing Dynasty, it can be said that the biggest external hidden dangers of the Ming Dynasty today are gone. If it weren't for Shaanxi, the officials in Shanxi were too incompetent, and the landlord class was too greedy, and the bandits would have no soil for survival at all.

In addition, the current Ming Dynasty's finances are much better than in history, and the Ming army that can be fought has not been consumed in the war with the Qing Dynasty. Today's Ming people are still in awe of the Ming Dynasty, so Gao Yingxiang naturally has no idea of ​​annihilation of the Ming army.

So after thinking about it, Gao Yingxiang sent He Yilong, one of the "Five Camps of the Left", known as "Geli Yan", to lead more than 5,000 bandits to set up an ambush in Wild Zhu Ridge, which would be the best way to severely damage the Ming army. If things are not violated, then hurry up and leave.

But He Yilong had been waiting for almost a day, and finally waited for the arrival of the Ming army, but the other party stopped a mile away from them. This made He Yilong very anxious and called Li Zicheng and scolded him with a bloody spitting head.

Li Zicheng is not the powerful King of Chuang later. At this time, he was at best a sentry officer in the old bandit camp. After being scolded by He Yilong, although a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, he still argued: "He Dangjia, I have said a long time ago that this Ming army is obviously not an ordinary Ming army. Although I don't know which part of his troops he belongs to, judging from the situation I encountered the day before yesterday, the elite level of this Ming army is definitely not inferior to that of Lu Xiangsheng's new army, and is even more powerful than the new army."

As soon as he heard Lu Xiangsheng's new army, He Yilong's face, which had been slightly relaxed, suddenly turned pale.

Why did Gao Yingxiang and the others stay in Shaanxi and come to Henan because they were afraid of being beaten by Lu Xiangsheng's 30,000 new army?

Thinking back to the beginning, He Yilong had already won several counties in Shaanxi and was planning to live up to the local emperor. He never thought that life would last a few days before Lu Xiangsheng's new army came over.

He will never forget the scene of fighting with the new army. He fired a series of gunfires so unreasonable. No matter how brave a man was, he would immediately lose his combat effectiveness after being hit by a lead bullet. He would immediately lose his hands and feet. He would immediately die.

The three counties he had finally captured were all taken back by the Ming army in less than five days. If he hadn't seen the situation was not good, he would have died long ago. His left eye was blinded by a lead shot from afar in that battle. For this reason, he also got the nickname "Geliyan". How could he not hate the new army?

He shouted sternly: "Li Zicheng, what am I asking now is that the Ming army outside is not taking the bait, what are you going to do?"

Looking at He Yilong with fierce eyes, Li Zicheng knew that if he couldn't answer well, he might really turn against him.

He said calmly: "He Dangjia, this is true for war. I am not a god. Naturally, I cannot guarantee that the Ming army can enter the Wild Boar Ridge according to our arrangement. Now we can only wait here, and the words of scholars are like that... Yes, respond to changes with the unchanging."

"The fart is to respond to changes in the same way." He Yilong cursed. Perhaps he felt embarrassed that a small team official was incompetent. After muttering twice, he ignored Li Zicheng and lay down behind a slope again and poked his head out and looked out.

Time passed little by little, and the Ming army outside the Wild Boar Ridge was still resting and no movement. Until half an hour passed, a group of Ming troops drove from afar. This group of Ming troops was not very similar to the Ming army outside. Almost all of the Ming army were mules, horses and carts, and some black things were dragged behind these carts.

When the Ming army approached, Li Zicheng's pupils shrank and he said in a daze: "No... this is a cannon!"

In fact, it was not only him, but the bandits who were ambushing the mountains also saw these artillery, and those who knew these things immediately panicked.

Li Zizhenke ran to He Yilong and said, "He Dangjia, this Ming army actually has so many artillery, which shows that they are definitely not ordinary Ming army. Let's retreat quickly, right?"
