Chapter 925 Zhang Xianzhong's death
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ubashi turned around and left, but Zhang Kewang shot an arrow and shot through Ubashi's head. The high lightning rod helmet flew up, and Zhang Kewang shot through Ubashi's head.
The Qing army was defeated, and three generals of the Eight Banners were successively damaged. Haoge ordered his troops to retreat in dejectedly.
"The Western thieves are so brave, and because the terrain restricts the performance of our cavalry, how should we defeat the thief?" Haoge asked.
Liu Jinzhong offered a suggestion in the last issue: "Prince, there will be a plan to defeat the Western thieves."
Haoge said happily: "General Liu, come on, come on."
Liu Jinzhong said: "Every time Zhang Xianzhong stands, he likes to personally survey the terrain. The general of the Imperial Party recognizes Zhang Xianzhong, and only needs to give the Imperial Party a group of elite archers to shoot and kill Zhang Xianzhong."
Zhao Liangdong also quickly stood up: "Prince, the thirty elite cavalry archers of the last general can draw two-stone strong bows on the horse's back. When Zhang Xianzhong comes out to survey the terrain, General Liu points out Xian thief, and the last general and the thirty elite archers will shoot in a volley. One blow will kill, and it will surely capture Zhang Xianzhong's life."
"Okay, then follow your plan. Zhao Liangdong, you lead your elite cavalry and archers to patrol by the Sun Creek. Once you find a thief, shoot and kill him immediately!" Haoge said.
"Zhe!" Liu Jinzhong and Zhao Liangdong both fought back at the same time.
The next morning, Zhang Xianzhong took only more than a dozen personal guards to the river to inspect the terrain. He had no idea at all, because Liu Jinzhong was familiar with him, the Qing army had already ambushed more than 30 archers led by Zhao Liangdong, waiting for Zhang Xianzhong to appear and shoot him with archers.
Zhao Liangdong invented a multi-person long-range accurate shooting tactic specifically targeting enemy senior generals, which is a group of three people. At a distance of hundreds of steps, three people shoot arrows at one target at the same time to ensure accuracy. This is actually a sniper tactic.
This time, because Zhang Xianzhong was going to kill Zhang Xianzhong, Zhao Liangdong attached great importance to it. He personally brought thirty-five archers he had carefully trained and divided them into twelve groups. After seeing Zhang Xianzhong, he immediately shot twelve groups of archers to ensure that they would kill one blow. What's even more ruthless is that Zhao Liangdong and his friends were fed poison on their arrows. Even if Zhang Xianzhong was wearing thick armor, as long as the arrow was inserted into the flesh, he could kill Zhang Xianzhong.
"Here you come! The one wearing a big red python robe is the thief!" Liu Jinzhong pointed to the group of people coming from the other side and said softly to Zhao Liangdong.
Zhao Liangdong asked his personal soldiers to pass the order: "The thief is here, act carefully, wait for me to shoot arrows, brothers and sisters!"
After a while, Zhang Xianzhong entered the range of Zhao Liangdong and others. Zhao Liangdong shouted and jumped up first. The strong bow in his hand had already been pulled into a full moon shape. He aimed at Zhang Xianzhong, and his fingers were relaxed, and a sharp arrow roared out. The twelve groups of archers also shot out the arrows in his hand.
Thirty-six arrows flew towards Zhang Xianzhong at the same time.
Zhang Xianzhong is also a hero of a generation, with great martial arts skills. When he saw a sudden arrow, he hurriedly avoided it and used the sword in his hand to block the arrows. His personal soldiers also helped him block the arrows last issue.
However, Zhao Liangdong and the others shot a continuous pearl arrow, and the arrows shot out were accurate and fast. Six of the personal soldiers around Zhang Xianzhong fell down, and his own arm was also shot. The arrow shot through his arm without armor and pierced into the flesh. Zhang Xianzhong, who was hit by the arrow, screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The remaining personal soldiers quickly raised Zhang Xianzhong, and the archers behind rushed over and shot a row of light arrows to the opposite shore, and then they covered the personal soldiers and rescued Zhang Xianzhong back.
After Zhang Xianzhong was rescued back to the camp, he remained unconscious and had a high fever.
"Doctor, save my father! If I can't save him, I will chop your head!" Zhang Kewang pulled out the knife and yelled on the doctor's neck.
Zhang Dingguo advised Zhang Kewang: "Brother, don't kill innocent people indiscriminately. It is the Tartars who harmed his father, not the doctor!"
The doctor looked at it for a long time and sighed, "The emperor is a poisonous arrow. The poison is almost at the heart with the blood. Even if Bian Que is reborn and Hua Tuo is still in power, he will not be able to make the world come true. Dear major generals, please prepare for the funeral as soon as possible. The emperor may not be able to live tonight."
"I'll kill you!" Zhang Kewang waved his knife to chop the doctor head-on, but heard a "defying" sound, and his knife was held by Zhang Dingguo.
Zhang Dingguo persuaded Zhang Kewang, and four young generals surrounded Zhang Xianzhong's sickbed. Bai Wenxuan, Wang Guochen, Feng Shuangli, Li Lisi, An Wensi and other civil and military officials also gathered next to the sickbed.
When it was almost dawn, Zhang Xianzhong finally opened his eyes slowly. But Zhang Kewang and Zhang Dingguo both knew that this was the rebirth of his adoptive father.
Zhang Xianzhong slowly supported the edge of the bed and sat up. Zhang Nengqi hurriedly supported him: "Father, please lie down and don't move."
"I know my own body! Let me sit up!" Zhang Xianzhong pushed Zhang Nengqi away and forced himself to sit up. "Everyone, Zhang was unfortunately hit by the poisonous arrow of Jiannu! The days are too late, and maybe it will not last until dawn. After my death, you will be the united Ming to fight against the Qing Dynasty! Everyone should remember that you must not surrender to the Qing Dynasty! If the Duke of Chu comes to recruit you, you will go and join him. Zhang has never admired anyone in his life, but he is really a hero to the Duke of Chu! Dear children, you should change your surname to your family. Also, you will return to Chengdu and kill Zhang's wives and concubines. Do not let them fall into the hands of Jiannu and be humiliated. All the gold, silver and treasures in my palace will be taken out as military pay."
After Zhang Xianzhong used all his last strength to leave a will, he slowly fell on the bed and closed his eyes. Zhang Xianzhong passed away at the age of forty.
"Father! Father!" Zhang Kewang and Zhang Dingguo and other adopted sons cried loudly.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Bai Wenxuan, Feng Shuangli and others cried so hard that they almost fainted.
In the Qing army camp opposite, the spies heard the crying sounds from the Daxi Army camp and immediately went back to report to Haoge.
"Prince, this is a good opportunity for our army to defeat the thief army!" said Obai.
Haoge said worriedly: "Zhang Xianzhong is full of tricks. Could this be his plan to cheat him?"
Zhao Liangdong said: "Please rest assured, the poisonous arrows of the last general can be said to be sealed with blood. If it weren't for the strong body of the thief, they would have died of poison, and they wouldn't have lasted until now!"
The Qing army launched a raid overnight and entered the camp of the Daxi Army, which was headless.
Zhang Xianzhong was dead, and the Daxi Army, which had no fighting spirit, was defeated. Zhang Kewang, Zhang Dingguo and others wrapped Zhang Xianzhong's body in brocade robes, buried Zhang Xianzhong under a big tree, and then fled back to Chengdu with the remaining defeated generals.
The Qing army still found Zhang Xianzhong's burial place and dug up the body. Haoge ordered Zhang Xianzhong's head to be cut off and prepared to take it back to the capital to receive the reward. Unfortunately, Haoge had no idea at all. After he returned to the capital, he was not the reward from Emperor Shunzhi, but was imprisoned by Dorgon. Not long after, Haoge died in prison at the age of 40 and accompanied Zhang Xianzhong.
After the Daxi Army withdrew from Chengdu, Zhang Xianzhong's generals killed Zhang Xianzhong's wives, concubines and youngest sons in accordance with Zhang Xianzhong's will. The four adopted sons restored their original surname to Sun Kewang, Zhang Dingguo restored their original surname to Li Dingguo, Zhang Wenxiu restored their original surname to Liu Wenxiu, and Zhang Nengqi restored their original surname to Ai Nengqi. All the gold, silver and treasures in Zhang Xianzhong's palace were taken out according to Zhang Xianzhong's will assemble military pay. After handling the funeral, Sun Kewang and others took the remnants of the Daxi Army to withdraw from Chengdu.
The news of Zhang Xianzhong's death had long been passed on by Li Guodong's detailed work in Sichuan.
"Zhang Bingzhong, Zhang Bingzhong, I didn't expect that you were plotted against by a villain Zhao Liangdong for the rest of your life!" Li Guodong sighed.
After sighing for a moment, Li Guodong decided to send an envoy to Sichuan to find the remaining troops of the Daxi Army, and then incorporated the elite troops.
