Although Liu Zongmin is brave, he is a general on horseback. Now he is fighting on foot and has a leg injury. He cannot even use half of his usual force.

Seeing five bayonets coming at them quickly, he swung his sword again to fend off the Qin soldiers' bayonets, basically using all his strength.

"Jixuan, be careful..."

Later, Li Zicheng and others saw more than a dozen bayonets stabbing Liu Zongmin, and they hurriedly rushed forward, shouting.

But it was too late, Liu Zongmin did not dodge this time, and even took the initiative to throw away the two swords in his hands and raised his chest to face Qin Bing's bayonet.

Dozens of Qin soldiers stabbed Liu Zongmin's body with dozens of bayonets, and there was a sound of weapons piercing flesh:

"Puff puff……"

Liu Zongmin lowered his head to look at the three bayonets thrust into his chest, and suddenly burst into laughter:

"Hahaha, dog officers and soldiers, if you want to capture our old Liu alive, go ahead and dream. King Chuang and we will be brothers in the next life..."

Before he finished speaking, he opened his mouth and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and then died.

But his body still stood firm, and his tiger eyes glared fiercely at the dozen Qin soldiers in front of him...

"Jixuan, my good brother..."

Seeing Liu Zongmin die in battle, Li Zicheng screamed heartbroken. He wanted to go forward and fight, but he didn't want the officers and soldiers to capture him alive.

Li Zicheng suddenly raised his left sword and slashed his neck hard, and a blood arrow spurted out...

In history, Li Zicheng, who led the rebel army to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, saw Liu Zongmin kill himself with a sword after his death in battle, marking the tragic end of a generation of heroes...

On March 17, the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign, the capital city of the Ming Dynasty was destroyed. Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, hanged himself in Meishan. The Ming Dynasty collapsed suddenly.

However, the Li Zicheng Group that captured Beijing did not shoulder the historical mission of building a new world after destroying the old world.

After only 42 days, Li Zicheng's group withdrew from Beijing in disgrace, and then the barbarians from outside the customs took over the Central Plains, marking the beginning of China's three hundred years of humiliation.

If violent revolution is not guided by advanced ideological concepts, does not truly seek happiness for the people, and does not have the lofty ideal of creating a peaceful and beautiful future, violent revolution will be no different from ordinary bandits and bandits.

The violent revolution carried out by Li Zicheng actually had ideas.

For example, "equalizing land and eliminating taxes" was a revolutionary concept of Li Zicheng, but it was only proposed by Li Yan after his arrival.

In fact, this idea is just a naive and utopian idea, which is unrealistic and impossible to achieve success at all.

Even if "equalizing land" could succeed, "elimination of taxes" was completely impossible to achieve in ancient times.

Taxation is the basic guarantee for a country to function. Unless the government is abolished and the country enters anarchy, it is absolutely impossible for the country to be "free of taxes."

Li Zicheng, under the banner of "freeing from taxes", went to Beijing and tortured the old landlords and old bureaucrats indiscriminately. The bandits under his command did not spare the ordinary people of the capital. This was really a very contradictory and absurd move.

Therefore, Li Zicheng's violent revolution became no different from the robbery of bandits.

Of course, when we criticize many of Li Zicheng's actions today, we do not deny Li Zicheng's revolutionary spirit.

Mainly due to the overall short-sightedness of the Li Zicheng Group's strategic vision, especially the murder of Li Yan, doomed the Li Zicheng Group to complete failure.

Because this rabble failed so frequently, no one, including Li Zicheng, had imagined where they would go after the revolution succeeded.

The goal they set for themselves was, at best, to share the world equally with the Ming Dynasty.

This was clearly reflected in Li Zicheng's request for a title to Chongzhen before he attacked Beijing. It was completely a mentality of being content with being rich.

In the entire Chinese history, there were only two people who led the peasant uprising army and ultimately overthrew the unified dynasty.

The first one is the opening bowl, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor who overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and restored the Chinese robe.

The other one is Li Zicheng. Unfortunately, the unified dynasty that Li Zicheng overthrew was actually restored by Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, he failed to protect the Han people's country and the country, allowing the Han people's country to fall into the hands of the barbarians again, and also allowing Zhu Yuanzhang's restoration of Chinese clothes to return to its starting point.

In this life, because of Zhu Cixiang's time travel, the Battle of Nanyuan did not occur, Li Zicheng's Eighteen Cavalry did not escape into Shangluo Mountain, and he was not given the opportunity to overthrow the Ming Dynasty!

Seeing Li Zicheng commit suicide, Sun Chuanting and others were shocked and hurriedly sent orders to arrest him alive.

Thousands of elite soldiers have surrounded more than a hundred rogue bandits, originally planning to capture Li Zicheng alive and bring him to Beijing as a prisoner.

Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng suddenly committed suicide, which made Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou, Qin Liangyu and others feel very sorry.

After receiving the order, the Qin soldiers, white pole soldiers, and Tianxiong troops immediately pounced on the remaining more than a hundred bandits, large and small, and this time their goal was to capture them alive.

Seeing the oncoming officers and soldiers, they knew they had no power to resist, so dozens of guards loyal to Li Zicheng raised their swords and committed suicide.

"Second uncle, here we come!"

"King Chuang, we will still be brothers in the next life..."

Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Dang Shouxu, Tian Jianxiu, Liu Tichun and more than a dozen generals did not want to be captured alive and humiliated. They all shouted and raised their swords to prepare to commit suicide...

"Bang bang bang..."

Suddenly gunfire rang out again, but it was not a salvo, but about twenty muskets fired one after another.

The weapons in the hands of Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu and others were accurately shot away by lead bullets. Several bandit leaders were hit by lead bullets in the arms holding their weapons. They could not hold their weapons and fell to the ground.

Before they could pick up weapons and commit suicide again, hundreds of officers and soldiers had already thrown them to the ground and pinned them down.

In the end, there were still dozens of old soldiers from the rogue camp who were not determined to commit suicide. Seeing that their leader was captured, they threw away their weapons without resistance...

It was the Qin soldiers and Tianxiong army snipers who had just knocked away Li Guo's weapons, and Li Shouting personally raised his gun and knocked the sword out of Li Guo's hand.

This battle completely wiped out Li Zicheng. The only regret was that Li Zicheng was not captured alive.

However, Sun Chuanting and the others did not return empty-handed, because most of Li Zicheng's generals were captured alive.

Only Dang Shousu, Li You, Li Zijing and other seven or eight not-so-famous bandit leaders committed suicide successfully.

"The wife of the leader of the thieves, Li Zicheng, is still on the run. The whole army is ordered to search carefully and Gao Guiying must be captured alive and sent to the capital!"

…………

A day of turbulent fighting life made Gao Guiying's face much thinner than before.

When the team was surrounded by officers and soldiers and a scuffle broke out, she behaved extremely bravely and calmly.

She first organized the soldiers of each family into a escort team, which played a great role in this battle.

When Gao Changsheng, who commanded the old camp's escort team, died in battle, she immediately asked Li Shuangxi to take his place.

The child soldiers commanded by Luo Hu, as well as some wounded soldiers and young women, all had Gao Guiying as their general leader.

Advance and retreat according to her instructions, protecting the baggage and family members. Among them, more than 500 people under Gao Yigong and Liu Fangliang were protecting the rear.

When the situation was very dangerous, she always said to the people around her in a calm tone:

"Don't panic, don't be afraid, our reinforcements will arrive soon, and we will defeat them."

Her words and the determined look on her face added infinite strength to the people around her.

Once her soldiers wanted to protect her mother and daughter from the siege, but she firmly disagreed and scolded them severely:

"How can we leave the old camp alone? Today we will either work together to defeat the officers and soldiers, or we will die here together!"

Although they suffered heavy losses in the melee, they still persisted until Gao Yigong and Liu Fangliang arrived with reinforcements and killed the enemy.

If she had been slightly swayed by the words of a few soldiers at that time, she would have really fallen apart.

Since leading the old battalion to retreat to a small barren mountain, Gao Guiying hardly sat down to rest, and immediately took two female soldiers to help the soldiers bandage their wounds.

While dressing up the wounds, she heard that there was a dilapidated mountain temple in the woods on the mountain, so she left two female soldiers to continue dressing up the soldiers' wounds.

With a pious and heavy heart, she went to the mountain temple to burn incense and pray.

After returning from the mountain temple, Gao Guiying went to visit the child soldiers who had worked hard and made great achievements.

After several big melees, the boy soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and now there are only more than 300 people left.

Now they were leaning against a corner of the village wall, roasting horse meat around three fires.

The ground was covered with dry grass and leaves, and some tired and injured children were lying on the ground, many of whom were already asleep.

Seeing the lady coming, the children wanted to stand up, but she stopped them with gestures.

The children suffered heavy casualties. She was very sad and could only endure the pain in her heart.

After comforting several children with minor injuries, she walked towards a child who looked pretty and smart. His eyes were red, as if he had cried just now.

She patted the child's shoulder gently and asked:

"Huaiquan, thank you for saving Lao Heng!"

This child soldier was named Li Huaiquan, and several friends who were close to him all died in the battle to save Li Laiheng...

Seeing his wife coming to comfort him in person, Li Huaiquan rubbed his eyes and forced a smile:

"It's okay, we should do this as we should, madam, you're welcome!"

Gao Guiying was very pleased and distressed by the brave fighting of the child soldiers in protecting their families in the old camp.

After the melee started, not only the older kids like Luo Hu and the others rushed to fight with all their might, but even the little Leghorns also performed very extraordinary.

It can be seen that when he grows up, he will definitely be a great general.

When the family members of Laoying were most in danger, Li Laiheng quietly broke away from Huang's control and joined the battle.
