Chapter 156 (18) Sniper battle outside Beijing

Li Zicheng is the master of slaughtering cities in Chinese history. Wherever this person went, there was a distinctive style. All the old people, women and children were killed, and the houses were burned down as usual, leaving no one behind. use. All young and middle-aged men over the age of eighteen and under the age of eight have basically become corpses after Li Zicheng passed by. Only the ignorant teenagers over the age of eight and under the age of 18 were left behind, forcing them to run with the troops, and then the old rogues taught these innocent children, whose thoughts were like a piece of white paper, to kill, set fire, and rape women .This kind of precept and deed education easily educated these young people into bloodthirsty wolf cubs. When they matured, their minds were filled with a crazy desire to kill. If they didn't kill people for a day, they would feel the pain.

It wasn't such an evil and terrifying force, and it couldn't destroy the decadent Ming Dynasty. But expecting such an evil force to establish a new regime would be a bit hopeless. Immediately after ascending the throne, Li Zicheng took a dragon ride and led a hundred officials to tour the south.The rogues then expelled the people in the city and forced them to follow Li Zicheng to wander. Women, children, old and young who walked slowly all became ghosts under the knife. Hearing the mournful cries of the people in the capital, and seeing the flames soaring into the sky, Li Zicheng was overwhelmed and said, "What kind people, how can we let them down and not kill them all?"

Leaving Qihua gate calmly, Liu Zongmin, Li Yan, Li Guo, Niu Jinxing, and the little dwarf Song Xiance hurriedly followed, surrendering generals Zuo Guangxian and Gu Dacheng led ten thousand cavalry to cut off the rear. While walking, I heard bang bang bang, the ground cracked for no reason, the white dust was soaring into the sky, the horses were all frightened, they jumped up wildly, the horseshoes stepped down heavily, and the thicker white dust rose up, which lost the eyes of the rogues , the pain was so painful that they wiped it with their hands, and the burning pain went straight into their hearts in an instant, and these people lost their eyes immediately, fell off their horses, and cried loudly, as a crazy war horse pounded its hooves on their bellies Stamped, the stomach and lungs fly together, the large intestine dances with the small intestine, the tragedy is unbearable to witness.

Amidst the chaos and panic, terrifying shouts of killing sounded from all directions at the same time. It was clear that there were thousands of troops coming quickly to kill the generals. The rogues panicked in fright, shouted "Mom" together, and rushed to escape in all directions, but because there were too many people leaving the city, they collided and squeezed each other, and trampled on each other. For minced meat. This was Wu Sangui's first sniper battle against Li Zicheng outside Beijing. It has long been expected that a person like Li Zicheng must first become addicted to the emperor, and then carry gold and silver, captive countless beautiful women, and embark on a long road to escape.So Wu Sangui came up with a plan, and sent soldiers to the nearby wine shops to confiscate all the big wine poppies in the wine shops, then filled the wine poppies with lime, and buried them quietly on the road outside Qihua Gate at night.Every two feet apart, two wine poppies were buried, covered with dust.Then Wu Sangui led his troops to hide in the woods, watching Li Zicheng's rogues enter the minefield, and after falling into chaos, he bluffed and shouted loudly, intending to scare Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng was not frightened, he saw the soldiers in front of him in a mess, without hesitation, he swung his sword with one stroke: kill them all with me! The soldiers of the old battalion had already slashed at the rogues in front with their spears and knives, cutting a path of blood.Li Zicheng strode forward along this bloody road, walking in despair. Li Zicheng escaped, and Wu Sangui finally came to the city of Beijing. Passing on my order, Wu Sangui announced: At this time, all the residents in Beijing, every household must place an incense table, wear plain clothes, and mourn for Chongzhen.
