Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 403 Please behead
Gao Yigong, who commanded the South Road Peasant Uprising Army, fled all the way, but fortunately, Lu Xiangsheng, the greatest enemy of the South Road Army, did not come after him, making Gao Yigong and others think that they had a lucky star and escaped.

Soon the refugees who fled around gathered around Gao Yigong again, and the number basically did not decrease much.

These refugees came all the way from northern Shaanxi, Heluo, Taiyuan and other places. They have no roots in Hebei. If they leave the leaders of Gao Yigong, they will definitely be regarded as foreigners, causing the local people to look coldly, and the government will retaliate afterwards. .

"There is a saying that the centipede is dead but not stiff. This is our advantage. We have a large number of people, and we will not be easily wiped out by the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers die one by one. They can't make up for it at all. Increase your strength." Gao Yigong saw the reassembled [-] troops, and swept away his previous unhappiness.

"But our soldiers have lost the courage to attack, and it is difficult to break through the defense line of the Hebei defender." Said the general beside Gao Yigong.

"Yeah, that's a question, who is the guard opposite us?" Gao Yigong asked.

"According to the soldiers of the Ming army we captured, Lu Xiangsheng, the commander of the Tianxiong Army recruited by the three prefectures of Daming, Guangping, and Shunde, was on the opposite side. He was originally the magistrate of Daming Prefecture, a local official." The general said.

"How dare a mere local official come to stop us?" Gao Yigong was furious, "Those who stop us must be crushed!"

"Okay, let's go down to rectify our armaments, and we will continue to fight the Tianxiong army in the future, and we must defeat them!" The generals clapped their legs and said.

"Ahem...I didn't say that we would continue to fight the Tianxiong Army...It is necessary to lose our bones and ashes, but we still ask Chuang Wang and Zhang Yuan for help." Gao Yigong was like a discouraged ball.

Lu Xiangsheng's fierce offensive really frightened him, and he couldn't muster up the courage to continue fighting with Tianxiong's army.

At this time, Li Zicheng and Zhang Yuan led 20 refugees to attack Ningwuguan.

Ningwuguan is one of the "Three Outer Passes". In the Wanli year, the city wall was covered with blue bricks. The three-storey building makes Guancheng stronger and more majestic.

The Ming army began to gather a large number of troops at Ningwuguan.If Li Zicheng and the others rushed northward to attack Datong Mansion without conquering Ningwu Pass, then the Ming army gathered near Ningwu Pass might attack them from the side, putting the North Road Peasant Army in a dilemma.

Zhang Yuan commanded the army to rush to the east city gate, facing the four-foot-high blue brick and loess rammed city wall, to attack Ningwuguan in the shortest time and solve the worries for the future!
The peasant army attacking Ningwuguan fell under the obstruction of the Ming army defending the city, which was several times more tragic than the attack and defense of Daizhou City!The artillery is roaring, and then it is piled up with human lives!

"Gao Yigong is a mediocre man, 10 people were defeated by the Ming army with less than [-] people?!" Zhang Yuan frowned when he received the request letter from the South Road Peasant Army, and was very dissatisfied with Gao Yigong's ability.

"It seems that the two-way plan to attack the capital is very difficult. We have to conquer Ningwuguan, Datong, Xuanfu, and Juyongguan on the north road before we can reach the capital. The south road also needs to attack Zhending, Baoding, and destroy Gyeonggi..." Li Zicheng Seeing Gao Yigong's request for help, he retreated in his heart.

"King Chuang, are you secretly seeking peace with the imperial court?" Zhang Yuan asked suddenly.

"No... nothing, this king has decided not to stop until the capital is taken down." Li Zicheng said seriously.

Zhang Yuan stared at Li Zicheng's face, not believing it at all, and said to Li Zicheng: "Please kill the envoys sent by the imperial court to sacrifice the flag and boost the morale of the army!"

"Brother Zhang Yuan, this king really didn't..." Some cold sweat oozes from Li Zicheng's forehead.

"Please King Chuang behead the envoys sent by the imperial court to sacrifice the flag and boost the morale of the army!" Zhang Yuan once again appealed to Li Zicheng resolutely.

"Are you really going to be so extreme?" Li Zicheng couldn't pretend anymore, and finally revealed the truth, "The imperial court agreed to allow us to establish an independent kingdom in the area outside Tongguan. We only need to submit to the imperial court to recognize our country. The two of us If the brothers join hands, we will definitely be able to build a paradise outside Tongguan without corrupt officials."

"Peace talks with the imperial court are just seeking skins from tigers! King Chuang has ever heard the story of the overlord of Chu who fought against the last famous general of the Great Qin Empire, Zhang Han? He also heard the story of Han Xin defeating the Zhao army in a last-ditch battle? So the two hesitated before the decisive battle, Not to mention the delay of the fighters, tens of thousands of soldiers are distracted, what are they going to use to face the powerful enemy?" Zhang Yuan asked again and again.

Li Zicheng hesitated for a moment before hardening his mind: "Okay! You only have one life, so how can you be worthy of yourself if you don't do something big and vigorous. Since it is Brother Zhang Yuan, you insist on killing the envoys of the imperial court and assisting the king to overthrow Daming. Then the king will make up his mind to break with the imperial court completely!"

"Please kill me!" Zhang Yuan said indomitably.

"This king will make people push the envoys sent by the imperial court to Ningwu Pass to beheaded, so as to show the determination of the king to 20 soldiers!"

The envoys sent by the imperial court to negotiate peace with Li Zicheng were a little arrogant. They were representatives of officers and soldiers, and Li Zicheng was nothing more than a grassroots bandit.Even if the two sides negotiate peace, Li Zicheng still needs to surrender to the court.

While the envoys were waiting in the camp, a group of Li Zicheng's personal soldiers broke in and wanted to arrest them.

"What are you doing with our family? Our family is the father-in-law who serves the emperor!" An eunuch who supervised the negotiation of the diplomatic missions shouted hastily.

"Stop talking nonsense, General Hades wants you to die in the third watch, and you won't live until the fifth watch!" This team of soldiers pushed the envoys to Ningwu Pass.

Dozens of envoys lined up and knelt under the majestic Ningwu Pass, sweating profusely.But now the fear of death suppressed other redundant thoughts, some envoys were so frightened that they became incontinent, and the execution ground was filled with a strange smell.

"Damn it, you bandits!" The father-in-law of the supervising army was pale, and he was still cursing non-stop.

The commander-in-chief of the three passes at Ningwu Pass and the general guard of Daizhou saw that Li Zicheng was going to publicly kill the envoys sent by the imperial court for peace talks. Knowing that there was no room for change, he clenched his fists and slammed them on the city wall!
"King Chuang has an order, beheaded and executed!" Dozens of strong men with ghost-headed swords were executing the execution.

They raised their knives and dropped dozens of heads, just like killing chickens.Thousands of people were killed and injured by the peasant army at every turn, and they were indifferent to beheading dozens of imperial envoys.
