Chapter 378
After the first batch of siege teams set off, Zhang Xianzhong heard the shocking news. Li Zicheng actually left with his men in the middle of the night!
Damn Li Zicheng, he doesn’t have any sense of gangster loyalty? Zhang Xianzhong was so angry that his teeth almost broke, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he didn’t dare to chase Li Zicheng at this time. Can he beat him? Another question, now
It is a problem to take away these hundreds of thousands of rebels. His food can last for ten days at most. If he cannot capture the capital within ten days, the best outcome for him will be to run away.
I think Huang Taiji was much better for Li Zicheng. He didn't leave secretly, but retreated openly and swaggering.
He packed his bags calmly and took away tents, weapons, food, goods looted along the way, and captured villagers. Huang Taiji left in a swaggering manner, and before leaving, he kindly told Zhang Xianzhong that since the capital city is too difficult to fight, my brother will go first.
You stay and continue to fight against the decadent Ming Dynasty. Just speak up when you need it, and I will definitely help you to the best of my ability.
In short, thousands of words are condensed into one sentence: Brother! I support you spiritually!
Zhang Xianzhong’s molars are all broken! These idiots leave as soon as they say it, without any hesitation. Now, he is left alone to confront Li Xiao. Faced with the reality, Zhang Xianzhong can’t even cry. It’s not that I don’t want to
Let’s go, but I really can’t leave!
"Brothers! Don't be afraid. The Tatars and generals are attacking the counties around the capital to find food for us. Fight with all your strength! When we rush into the capital, everyone will have food, drink, clothing, housing, and women to sleep in!" Zhang Xianzhong is worthy of his name!
Zhang Xianzhong shouted exciting slogans at the critical moment. The military morale that had just been shaken was gathered together in an instant.
The moment they walked out of Guanzhong, living was the only belief of these people. Zhang Xianzhong's words echoed in their minds like a magic spell. They went to the capital, where they had food, drink and clothing. In order to survive in this cold winter, everyone
Burst out the last bit of strength in life.
Countless people continued to attack the tall city walls of the capital, and some were killed by artillery. Others were shot to death by muskets. During the melee between the two armies, they were massacred by the strong rebels holding sharp swords.
Yesterday's bloodshed continued today, and the corpses on the ground became thicker and thicker. In the end, the two sides had to fight on the mountain of corpses, because there were too many corpses.
Countless people swarmed forward, but Zhang Xianzhong retreated with his two thousand followers. The cronies were already secretly packing up. When the general attack called by Zhang Xianzhong began, countless people rushed towards the capital. As a senior escape athlete, Zhang Xianzhong
Escape southward without hesitation.
I can no longer return to my hometown in Shaanxi because Huang Taiji withdrew to the west.
It was obvious that the Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty was not planning to return to the cold Liaodong. He was planning to take root in Guanzhong. As for whether he would be acclimatized to the soil or not, he didn't care. Shenyang and Liaoyang were also Han lands at that time, and they were not treated docilely by the Jurchens.
Post. Huang Taiji believes that as long as the Jurchens are still so strong and brave, conquering the dying Guanzhong will not be a problem.
As they were beating, the rebels suddenly discovered that the leaders who had given them chicken soup for the soul in the morning were missing. The camp of the big leader Zhang Xianzhong was empty, not even a dog could be seen.
Although the people in Guanzhong were stubborn, they were not stupid. Everyone realized that they had been deceived. The man who deceived them said that the capital could be easily taken, and there were mountains of food and money in it, as long as they risked their lives.
If you can realize the value of life in just one move, it's a fucking lie.
The team collapsed in an instant, and those on the front line collapsed on the ground like mud. Escape was simply impossible. Even if there were no pursuers behind them, they had no physical strength. There was no food and cotton clothes in the ice and snow, and they were swept away while walking.
On the land of Hebei, only death is waiting for them. The icy ground is very cold, but their hearts are even colder. For them who have had one meal but no next meal, attacking the capital is the only hope. Now the hope is shattered.
Being killed by cannonballs, bullets, or even being hacked to death is ten thousand times better than freezing to death or starving to death.
You are going to die anyway, so why not choose a happy death?
The rebels found that the life-threatening guys on the opposite side had no resistance, and they were still puzzled at first. They didn't dare to go through what they thought was a trap, and a few of them who were red-eyed and bolder rushed forward to kill those who were sitting on the ground.
But they didn't resist, as if the knife hadn't struck them.
When the knife was struck, blood spurted out, but the strange thing was that the people who were chopped did not scream. Their faces were so numb, and they stared straight at the person who slashed them. They did not blink even once, until their pupils were dilated and their faces were as pale as dust.
Everyone was looking at the scene in front of them in amazement, wondering what was happening to the person who just looked like he had been given chicken blood just now.
The rebels reacted and rushed forward to kill. They had lost many of their fellow villagers and relatives in the past few days. Even if the rebels who went crazy had only big wooden sticks in their hands, their lethality was considerable. Moreover, although the land of Yanzhao was
It produces generous and tragic people. Shaanxi also produces cold children!
Li Xiao stood at the top of the city, watching the massacre below. In an era when communication basically relied on shouting, it was basically impossible to stop hundreds of thousands of unorganized and undisciplined people.
Murder is not only a great test of psychological endurance, but also a great test of physical strength.
Those guys whose eyes were red from killing were finally defeated by their own physical strength. The hand holding the knife was trembling, and the steel knife in his hand seemed to be covered with blood. It was sticky like paste!
"Send someone to take over the battlefield, and give those people some hot porridge or something. Don't allow others to kill or rob them at will." Li Xiao felt that the last sentence was in vain. For a guy who is extremely poor both mentally and materially,
Is there something to grab?
"Is it over like this?" Zheng Sen looked at the corpses everywhere and the tired and panting people sitting on the ground. How could a fight involving hundreds of thousands of people end in such a strange way? He even felt unfinished in his heart!
"It's over! Zhang Xianzhong, Huang Taiji, and Li Zicheng all know that there is no point in continuing the fight. They are pursuing more meaningful things. War is always about gaining benefits, and the only reason to start a war is money, money, more
Much money.
Those people are smart people. When the capital can't get any benefits, they will flee immediately! Zheng Sen, remember. From now on, anyone who tells you that the war is for the sake of the justice of the family, country, world, and nation. This person is either
The purest fool is either the most cunning villain. If you can't tell whether that person is a fool or a villain, just kill them." Li Xiao's words made Zheng Sen a little confused.
All along, people have been telling them things like national justice. Some people even said that if you die for your ideals and justice, you will die with infinite glory. But what the teacher said today is not like this.
"Those guys who keep talking about light and justice, if they are on the front line like you, they are the purest fools. They don't understand that without the motivation of profit, nothing can be done with just blood.
And those people who just shout slogans from behind and always stay in the safest place. Those people are definitely conspirators. They will use other people's blood and corpses to achieve their own goals.
Zhang Xianzhong, Huang Taiji, and Li Zicheng are all such people. My child, the human heart is warmer than the warmest place you have ever thought of, and it will also be colder than the coldest place you have ever been. You are still young, and I don’t want you to
One day you will understand what I said. That process is too painful and cruel. What a pity! What you need to experience, you will eventually experience it. Be strong, you have a good father and a great teacher. Most of the people in this world
People don’t have such good conditions as you.”
