Daming: I help my wife be the empress

"Chase!"

Seeing that Li Zicheng and others had entered the mountain, Obai immediately ordered to pursue them without any hesitation.

Their Jurchen came out of the mountains and forests, so they are not afraid of fighting in the mountains and forests.

I saw about 30 elites of the Eight Banners dismounted and dispersed into Zhenlei Mountain in a team of [-] people.

As soon as he entered, he was served by bows and arrows from the powerful soldiers of the Shun army.

However, these Eight Banners elites have at least two layers of armor, and their combat intuition is keen. Quite a few of them can even dodge arrows in a way similar to listening to the sound.

Even if someone was shot, it was mostly a minor injury.

Not only because of the elite armor of the Eight Banners, but also because these soldiers of the Shun Army had previously experienced the ambush in Zhongshanpu, and they fought and retreated all the way, and their spirit and strength were not as good as before.

However, Aobai and these people are the new force left behind by Luck Dehun before, and it is relatively easy to chase and kill them all the way, and they are very strong at this time.

As elites of the Eight Banners, if there are Shunjun archers in the mountains and forests, they can immediately fight back, not to mention one arrow, but they can also hit a person with two or three arrows, which is extremely damaging to the Shunjun army.

In order to escape for their lives, many of these soldiers of the Shun Army even threw away their armor, and the Eight Banners soldiers used heavy arrows, but most of those who were hit by arrows were killed on the spot.

In this way, within a short period of time, almost all the powerful soldiers of the Hundred Shun Army who stayed behind to block the attack were eliminated by the elite of the Eight Banners.

Even if the Eight Banners soldiers of Manchuria are of noble origin, they have the habit of hunting in the mountains all the year round, and almost all of them are hunters in the mountains and forests.

Therefore, it was easy to follow the trail left by Li Zicheng and others, but after a quarter of an hour or two, they chased Li Zicheng again.

"Brother Hu, take someone to protect His Majesty and continue walking into the mountains, and I will lead the rest of the people to intercept the Qing prisoners!"

Fan Zhang, the officer of the guards, said decisively, and he and several guards led forty or fifty soldiers to charge back towards the Qing army.

Hu Er, several bodyguards and the remaining [-] or [-] soldiers protected Li Zicheng and ran for a while in the mountains, then stopped.

Hu Erdao: "Your Majesty, we must let our people escape separately, otherwise the Qing army will have to catch up sooner or later."

Li Zicheng's face was extremely ugly at this time, he heard the words: "There are more Qing prisoners than us, what's the use of escaping separately?"

Hu Er stopped talking.

He was just a bodyguard with good skills, but he really couldn't solve the immediate crisis.

At this time, a mountain wind suddenly blew up, and Li Zicheng couldn't help raising his head to look at the sky.

Through the dense forest, Li Zicheng saw the dark clouds gathered in the sky who did not know when, and immediately burst out laughing, "Did you see everyone, God will help you at critical times!
It will rain soon, and when the rain washes away the footprints, it will not be so easy for Qinglu to find them! "

After finishing speaking, he pushed away Hu Er who was supporting him, and quickly walked deeper into the forest.

Hu Er and the others looked at the sky as if it was about to rain, so they cheered up and followed Li Zicheng one after another...
Boom!

Following several thunderclaps that shook through the mountains and forests, the torrential rain suddenly poured down, washing away the battlefield that had just experienced a fierce battle.

Blood mixed with tears, turned into countless streams and went down the mountain.

Aobai wiped the rain from his face, and couldn't help cursing: "God, it will rain when it rains."

Someone came over and asked, "Master Zhang Jing, what should we do next?"

Aobai said sullenly: "How can you chase people in such a heavy rain? Withdraw your troops, and let Li Zicheng take care of you."

Although Aobai didn't want to leave the mountain, he had to.

As a veteran who has fought for many years, he knows how dangerous it is to stay in the mountains under heavy rain—they didn't carry any supplies, and even if they survived the rain, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

So it's better to retreat to the outside of the mountain first.

···
On the other hand, Li Zicheng and others also knew that it was dangerous to march in the mountains in rainy days. If possible, they must first find a gentle half-hill slope or a cave to hide from the rain, and then leave after the rain stops.

However, the rainy day is a good opportunity for them to get rid of the pursuit of the Qing army.

They didn't know whether the Qing army was still chasing them, and they didn't dare to gamble—if the Qing army was still chasing them in the mountains, the muddy land would only make it easier for the Qing army to find them when the rain stopped.

Therefore, they had to take advantage of the rain to keep as far away from the Qing army as possible.

It would be even better if he could pass through Zhenlei Mountain.

In order to avoid disasters such as landslides, mudslides, and mountain torrents, Li Zicheng and others try to walk in places with relatively gentle mountains.

Although Li Zicheng and others had rich experience in field marches and were very careful, they still encountered mudslides after walking for a quarter of an hour in the rain.

Not only seven or eight soldiers of the Shun army were involved, but the team of dozens of people was also separated again, leaving only a dozen people around Li Zicheng.

Fortunately, the dozen or so of them walked forward for about a quarter of an hour, and they came across a mountain temple.

Everyone immediately went in to hide from the rain.

The mountain temple is a bit dilapidated, and the incense has long been gone, but there are two piles of embers from the bonfire, which should be left by the hunters in the mountain.

Li Zicheng and others didn't care, but knelt down to worship the mountain god.

Having just experienced a mudslide and felt the terror of the majesty of heaven and earth, Li Zicheng and others needed to worship the mountain god for comfort at this time.

After worshiping the mountain god, Hu Er said: "Your Majesty, your wound must be treated quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if it rots and festers."

Li Zicheng nodded, and immediately asked someone to remove his armor and treat the wound.

The rest of the dozen or so people took off their armor, dragged their clothes to the water, and put them aside to dry.

"It's a pity that there isn't even a sacrificial table in this temple, otherwise we could have chopped the fire." A guard sneezed, worried that he would be infected with wind evil, so he couldn't help but say so.

Li Zicheng frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We finally encountered the mountain god temple in this heavy rain, how could we have the idea of ​​being disrespectful to the mountain god?"

The guard immediately bowed his waist and said: "You must be punished by your majesty."

Naturally, Li Zicheng would not punish the guards for such a trivial matter, but closed his eyes, frowned and did not speak.

His complexion seemed uglier than before entering the temple.

He didn't feel it when he was on his way, but now when he rested, he felt that not only the wound on his right shoulder was unbearably painful, but also the old injuries he had suffered before.

Especially the blind eye, which hurts so much that it feels as if someone is pulling a certain tendon in his brain.

The rest of the soldiers of the Shun Army also fell silent, but no one noticed that there was a figure quietly retreating from the forest in front of the mountain temple in the rain...

The mountain rain comes and goes quickly.

Li Zicheng and others rested in the temple for only a quarter of an hour before the rain stopped and the sky cleared.

When everyone got up to pack their things and was about to leave, Li Zicheng found that morale was low. He sighed inwardly, then smiled and said, "You guys have been hiding from the rain for so long, but the Qing prisoners didn't come after us. It seems that they didn't retreat to the mountains. If you go outside, you won’t be able to find any trace of us for a while.”

"Then shall we join Miao Yousheng and the others next, or go out of the mountain directly?" Hu Er asked while putting on Li Zicheng's armor.

Li Zicheng said: "Of course it is to get out of the mountain as soon as possible - Miao Yousheng and the others must know to get out of the mountain as soon as possible, otherwise they will be caught up by the Qing captives, and they will really be unable to escape."

At this moment, two powerful soldiers who had just put on their armor outside the temple gate suddenly shouted: "Who are you!"

While shouting and scolding, the two shot with arrows.

Although they had just experienced a heavy rain, they had already changed their bowstrings when they were sheltering from the rain in the temple, as veterans with rich combat experience.

At this time, two arrows were shot, and there was a muffled groan in the forest.

Immediately there were twenty or thirty arrows shot!
They didn't expect so many enemies to appear suddenly. One was shot in the neck and died tragically on the spot, and the other hid in the temple in time, but was also shot in the leg by an arrow.

Li Zicheng, Hu Er and the others stepped up to put on their armor and take up their weapons, when they heard someone yelling, "Kill this group of intruders and break the army, and the head of the village will give you a bucket of food!"

"Kill it!"

With the sound of shouting and killing, four or fifty people rushed out of the forest and rushed straight to the temple gate!
Listening to the surrounding movement, there seemed to be people behind the mountain temple—they didn't know when they were surrounded by this group of mountain people!
"Don't go out! Guard the temple gate!"

At this moment, Li Zicheng was still very calm, yelling and directing.

The guards and powerful soldiers who followed Li Zicheng were also very brave. Five or six men in armor held rattan cards and went to the temple gate, while the rest shot arrows behind them, and they beat back the first group of mountain people. wave offensive.
