Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 447 The Fleeing Li Zicheng
Snowflakes like goose feathers drifted down, bringing a bitterly cold winter, and making the northern land fall into dead silence.

Li Zicheng, who was prominent for a while, wore worn-out cotton-padded clothes, fled with Liu Zongmin and others into the deep mountains and old forests, and walked westward along the path, trying to cross the mountains and ridges to return to Taiyuan Prefecture to prepare for the army.

It's just that the trails in the mountains are difficult to walk. When they were about to enter the border of Taiyuan Mansion, ice and snow had covered a large area of ​​mountains and forests, making the road even more difficult and dangerous.

"The Fu Liao army blocked all the main roads. It's all because Zhang Yuan, the traitor, took away the South Route Army. If we don't let us be in such a mess." Liu Zongmin still gritted his teeth with hatred for Zhang Yuan.

Li Zicheng was walking in the snow with a wooden stick, but he didn't have the energy to resent Zhang Yuan.All the way to escape has exhausted his strength.

"King Chuang, there is a thatched cottage in front of us. It should be built by hunters who live in the mountains and forests. We also saw traps for trapping animals!" The scout in front came back excitedly.

Hearing that there were traces of people, Li Zicheng and more than a dozen survivors were blindsided! It was extremely difficult for them to travel in the freezing mountains and forests, and they risked being chased and killed by the Liao army! There are hunters in the mountains and forests, which means There is food for the winter, and if you are lucky, there are bacon and wild game in reserve!
Thinking about it carefully is enough to make them salivate when they are hungry!
"Let's go, let's go and see what's good! Now it's frozen three feet, we just need to kill and silence, and it will take a long time for the Liao Army to notice our traces!" Li Zicheng drew his waist knife and was ready to kill Preparations for extermination.

A dozen people drew their weapons almost at the same time as Li Zicheng did, and surrounded the thatched cottage.

"Liu Zongmin, you go." Li Zicheng winked at Liu Zongmin.

Liu Zongmin understood, and kicked open the wooden door with a bang!
"You... who are you?!" In the thatched hut, a hunter wrapped in a quilt to keep warm smelled of alcohol, and saw someone break into the door in a daze, trying to get the hunting bow hanging on the wall.

"Brothers, come in, there is only one person in here!" Liu Zongmin shouted excitedly, feeling the warmth of the thatched hut and the crackling of firewood.

Before Liu Zongmin finished speaking, Li Zicheng and others who couldn't wait had already broken into the thatched hut, beheaded Orion, and then searched for the speed reduction inside the thatched hut.

"Half a bag of coarse rice, and more than a dozen catties of bacon!" A general excitedly carried the coarse rice and bacon, with great interest.

"Can you be more reserved, we were a rich man with tens of millions of taels of silver not long ago, look at your virtue, you are so happy to find a little coarse rice and bacon. Sir, look what I found, it is a just Captured hare!" Another general also danced.

"This time I can eat to my heart's content, and there is still some left over for rations." Li Zicheng smacked his mouth.

More than a dozen big men huddled in the narrow thatched hut, used the firewood in the hut to light a fire, first cooked the rice, and then briefly processed the hare and grilled it with bacon.Soon the house was filled with the smell of barbecue.

"I haven't been so satisfied for a long time." Liu Zongmin ignored the hot hands, tore off half a hare and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Liu Zongmin, you are too much, this king didn't even eat it!" Li Zicheng and the others came over to compete for the most delicious rabbit meat.

How can a single hare feed more than ten people?Li Zicheng and the others were slow, so they could only pull a piece of rabbit meat each.Afterwards, this group of impoverished Dashun executives started to snatch the bacon again.

"You wine bags and rice bags are not as good at fighting as Zhang Yuan, but you can eat better than the other." Li Zicheng monopolized Orion's wine gourd, and suddenly missed Zhang Yuan.

"Chuang Wang, why are you still mentioning this traitor? He is still a traitor if he can fight? We are loyal brothers who fight with you and go through life and death!" Liu Zongmin hiccupped after eating and gritted his teeth. Meat shreds between seams.

"Forget it, let's not mention him, we eat and drink well, and when we return to northern Shaanxi, we will occupy the land as king, and we will live a happy life with meat every day!" Li Zicheng hoped.

The dream of being the emperor was shattered, and Li Zicheng was like a dream, which was very unreal.Now down and out, he only wants to be able to have a bite to eat like when he was in the 36th Battalion, and to dominate the one-acre three-point land in northern Shaanxi.

"Do you think the Liao army will chase all the way to northern Shaanxi?" Someone raised a serious topic after a full meal.

"The big deal is that we are the same as we used to deal with the officers and soldiers. If they come to encircle us, we will flee into the mountains. Once they leave, we will come out to loot again. Isn't it still our world?" Some senior generals of the peasant army said.

"But before we had Zhang Yuan around, the officers and soldiers didn't dare to pursue us deeply, for fear that Zhang Yuan would lead the army to cut off their logistics. Now without Zhang Yuan, no one can easily rob the officers and soldiers. Moreover, Zhang Yuan became Officer and soldier, he knows our tactics like the back of his hands, and he will see through us no matter how we fight." A general of the Dashun Army said.

Li Zicheng's face was stagnant, and a dozen people thought about it carefully.When the person who knows you best betrays you, he can play you to death in a thousand ways.The name Zhang Yuan has become their lingering nightmare.

"Don't mention this guy, brothers, bring the surplus food, we will be able to figure out a way to deal with the Liao army after we return to our territory." Li Zicheng said angrily.

"King Chuang is right. Isn't there a poem about mountains, rivers, and roads? There are dark willows and flowers that brighten another village? When we return to our territory, maybe there will be a way..."

Liu Zongmin walked out of the thatched hut with a straw in his mouth, and the vague words in his mouth stopped abruptly.Outside the thatched hut, I don't know when it has been surrounded by hundreds of heavily armed Kyushu Army soldiers.

"I said Liu Zongmin, don't block the door, it's really a waste of time..." The people in the thatched hut urged Liu Zongmin, but when they came out, they were all stunned like Liu Zongmin like silly spores.

"King Chuang, we seem to be surrounded by the Liao army..." Liu Zongmin's face turned pale, and his lips trembled.

"Nonsense, do you think I can't see clearly?" Li Zicheng's Jiu Jin came to his senses, and when he saw soldiers from the Kyushu Army pointing their guns at him, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Surrounded by the elite soldiers of the Liao Army ten times as many as our own in the barren mountains, it is difficult to escape no matter what!
Among the soldiers of the Kyushu Army, a man in a coir raincoat appeared. He took off his bamboo hat, revealing a face that Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin were familiar with and hated.

"Zhang Yuan, it's you!"

　Fifth watch, the update is complete.
