The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 704 The Death of Zhang Xianzhong

The soldiers of the imperial guard hurriedly helped Zhang Xianzhong up, protected him in the middle, and made a guard gesture to look towards the place where the sound came from.

But the person who spoke was a man in a strange gray military uniform who came out of the forest. The man wore leggings on his feet, a leather belt around his waist, a pistol in his hand, and a hat with a large brim on his head. He looked indifferent. , with a mocking look in his eyes.

Seeing this person, everyone didn't know the identity of this person, he was clearly an official of the imperial court, and several people swung their knives to kill him immediately.

But the man didn't move, the pistol was raised, and after a few bang bang shots, the guard soldiers who had killed him all fell to the ground.

Someone secretly shot an arrow at him, but before he could draw his bow, he suddenly fell to the ground, and then he heard a gunshot from the surrounding woods.

This gunshot was equivalent to an order to attack, and bullets were continuously fired from the surrounding woods. Those guard soldiers with cold weapons had no power to fight back, and they shot to the end every minute.

In less than a moment, apart from Zhang Xianzhong, the only living creatures standing in the arena were the war horses they rode when they came.

"Zhang Xianzhong, you are full of crimes. Now that you are about to die, you should be arrested without a fight." The officer with the pistol approached Zhang Xianzhong and said coldly.

Zhang Xianzhong looked around at a group of officers and soldiers slowly coming out of the woods, everyone's guns were pointing at him, knowing that even if he suddenly grew wings, he would not be able to escape, on the contrary, he lost his previous panic and became calm Calm down.

"Did Li Datou also die at your hands?" Zhang Xianzhong asked suddenly.

The National Defense Army officer didn't know who Li Datou was. He was stunned for a moment and realized that he should be talking about Li Zicheng. He snorted coldly and said, "Li Zicheng, like you, betrayed his relatives and was killed by his subordinates. It's useless to talk too much, just obediently grab your hands and arrest him." "

Zhang Xianzhong ignored him, and suddenly raised his head to look in the direction of Xi'an City and shouted: "Li Datou, I have compared you all my life, you became famous earlier than me, you became emperor earlier than me, but you are also dead than I. Haha Haha, I finally have one thing better than you. Just wait, I will come to the underworld to look for you, let's continue to compete in the underworld to see who can pull the king of Hades from his throne first."

After finishing speaking, he violently pulled out the arrow stuck in his right chest with his left hand.The barbed arrows brought out a lot of flesh and blood, and the blood gushed out like a fountain. Zhang Xianzhong fell heavily to the ground amidst loud laughter, his eyes still wide open.

A National Defense Army soldier walked up to Zhang Xianzhong, checked his breath, and reported to the officer, "Battalion Commander, he is dead."

The battalion commander nodded and said: "Give them back the knife, and bring back Zhang Xianzhong's body. Take back all the living horses."

A soldier asked: "Battalion Commander, what should we do with the bodies of these people?"

The battalion commander glanced at the corpses and said: "Keep it, God will deal with it. Every drink and peck, there is a cause and effect. They killed so many people, they killed ten houses in Shuzhou, and caused a disaster of tigers and wolves. In the end, they themselves became the food of tigers and wolves, which may be called retribution."

The soldiers were thoughtful after hearing this, and began to mend the corpses and clean the battlefield.

After a while, they rushed to Jinguan City with Zhang Xianzhong's body and trophies.

In fact, before the so-called decisive battle with Zhang Xianzhong began, Di Qing sent a small group of troops to set up ambushes near the roads around the battlefield in units of battalions. The original intention was to intercept the fleeing soldiers, but he did not expect to meet Zhang Xianzhong who had fled here. A group of people made this battalion officers and soldiers make great contributions.

At this time, the battlefield had calmed down. The captured Daxi Army soldiers amounted to nearly 8 to [-] soldiers, all squatting on the ground with their hands tied by their own belts, dejected, and guarded by men from Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang.

Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang had meritorious service in surrendering, so Di Qing made an exception and allowed them to temporarily continue commanding their original subordinates. This made them overjoyed and even more grateful.

The soldiers under the two were even more ecstatic. Looking at the dead bodies and the captives, they all secretly thought that if their generals hadn't judged the situation and turned to the light in time, then they must have been one of those people. Thinking of this, They all shouted luck.

In this state of mind, they did their best to guard the captives, and if the captives made any movement, they would be beaten up, and the angry captives cursed at the son of the white-eyed wolf turtle.

Di Qing left some officers and troops outside the city to maintain order, clean up the battlefield, and then lead the main force forward.

Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo followed carefully behind, and Sun Kewang introduced courteously: "Report to the Marshal, Zhang Xianzhong's treasury and the imperial palace have already been guarded and sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter without an order. The people in the city have not hurt a single person." , all of them were placed at home and waited for Master Wang to enter the city. The remnants of Zhang Xianzhong's forces in the city have been wiped out by the last general, and we are waiting for the Marshal to lead Master Wang into the city."

Di Qing nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, General Li and General Sun were able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light in time, and made the first-class contribution to defeating Zhang Xianzhong. This commander is very pleased, and I will definitely recommend the credit of the two to His Royal Highness the Regent. What else can the two generals ask for? Please bring it up."

The two were overjoyed, looked at each other, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Marshal for your kindness, I dare not take credit for it. I have been obsessed with ghosts all these years, and following Thief Zhang to fight against the court is really a capital crime. Marshal can pardon the crimes of the two of us regardless of the past. , We are already satisfied, how can we dare to have extravagant hopes, please Marshal Mingjian!"

Di Qing saw that the two of them were like this, so he didn't say much, and said with a smile: "You two generals, don't be self-effacing. Your Highness's purpose in employing people is to clearly distinguish rewards and punishments. For your great achievements, His Highness will definitely reward you accordingly. After Shuai waits for the order in the city to stabilize, he will write a battle report to His Highness and report the achievements of the two of you at the same time."

The two were overjoyed and thanked Di Qing again.

Di Qing led the army into the city, and the people along the way greeted him, waving to the officers and soldiers one after another, and many of them even cried bitterly.The crying was contagious, and the whole street was full of people crying.

For a while, the whole city was full of crying, and Di Qing felt very uncomfortable watching it.

He knew that the people in the city were crying for his own survival, and for the finally arrived Wang Shi, so he stopped his horse and said loudly: "Everyone, although His Royal Highness the Regent is far away in the capital, he knows that everyone has been poisoned and killed by Zhang Thief. The suffering was unspeakable, so I sent my commander to lead the army to defeat Zhang Thief, and save the army from suffering. Now that Daxi Kingdom has perished, Zhang Thief has also given the leadership, and your suffering is completely over."

Although the people almost knew what was going on, they got the exact news from Di Qing that Zhang Xianzhong was dead, and the crowd was even more excited. Many cried while knelt on the ground and shouted long live the regent.

There are still many people who are talking to their relatives and friends who died under Zhang Xianzhong's butcher knife, to appease their souls under the nine springs.

The whole city cried again, and the eyes of Di Qing and all the generals were moist.

Only Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang looked at each other, with shame on their faces, subconsciously shrank back.
