They were some of the child soldiers raised by Li Zicheng. They had the strongest resistance and were a force that could not be ignored in the peasant army.

After Li Zicheng died, they followed Gao Guiying to escape. As a result, Gao Guiying died in Jiangnan, and they followed Gao Yigong and others.

In the hearts of these child soldiers, Li Zicheng was their father. After Li Zicheng committed suicide, they always thought about revenge.

Unexpectedly, Gao Yigong and others actually surrendered to the imperial court. They were unwilling to follow, so they left the team. Everyone had their own ambitions, but Gao Yigong did not force them.

Their parents were killed, and Li Zicheng, who raised them, died at the hands of the little emperor. Even though it was suicide, it was also caused by the little emperor. They only had hatred for Zhu Cixiang in their hearts, so how could they seek refuge with the imperial court.

However, after leaving the team, they had no one to rely on and no life experience. It was a problem for them to eat. At this time, they were targeted by interested people.

They told these child soldiers that their goal was the same as the child soldiers, which was to kill the little emperor because their relatives were also killed by the little emperor.

They are willing to provide food, drink and accommodation for the baby's father, and wait for the opportunity to assassinate the little emperor Shenwu.

These child soldiers believed it to be true, so they followed these people to live in the mountains of Nanjing. They were brought out half a month ago, preparing to find an opportunity to assassinate Emperor Shenwu...

At that time, Li Zicheng attached great importance to the training and education of these child soldiers, and adopted the elite soldier-adoption system, allowing elite soldiers with combat experience to adopt child soldiers as adopted sons.

They taught them through words and deeds, learned combat skills, and practiced diligently. Many of them became brave and resourceful young soldiers capable of conquering cities and territories...

When these child soldiers attacked Beijing City, they were agile and agile. They climbed to the top of the city and killed the guards of the outer city. Later, as Jiannu entered the pass, these ferocious child soldiers finally disappeared on the battlefield.

The middle-aged man was very satisfied and ordered someone to fetch some hand-trembling thunder and said:

"One for each person, throw it into the Dog Emperor's carriage and detonate the explosive to kill the Dog Emperor!"

The child soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time know how powerful this thing is, and many of their companions died under this thunder.

Although they don't know where the leader got these thunderbolts, everyone's confidence has greatly increased.

Based on the intelligence, the middle-aged man made a careful plan and sent all the child soldiers to the border of Shenchu ​​Prefecture to ambush Emperor Shenwu.

…

Zhu Cixi originally wanted to ride a horse during his trip to Chuzhou, but considering that it was difficult to carry a rifle, he finally chose a horse-drawn carriage.

As soon as the group arrived at the border of Chuzhou, the Jin Yiwei sent earlier came back to report to Hu Bao and found suspicious persons.

Hu Bao was shocked and hurriedly reported to Zhu Cihong:

"Your Majesty, secret agents discovered a group of suspicious persons operating at the border of Chuzhou today. They should be trying to harm you."

After Zhu Cihong heard this, he smiled indifferently and said:

"There are not many people who want to assassinate me. Just kill as many as they come. Then we will find out who is behind them..."

Zhu Cixiang knew that someone must want him dead, and he also wanted to know who would jump out first this time.

Hu Bao nodded, wanting to assassinate the emperor under their protection would be tantamount to ascending to heaven.

The carriage continued to move forward, and just as it entered the Chuzhou territory, suddenly a loud shout came from the Shenwu Army in front:

"Escort!"

Before he finished speaking, crossbow arrows roared through the wind, and several of the unarmored Shenwu soldiers in front were shot over.

Then a cold light was inserted more than ten meters away from the carriage, and the arrow clusters were still glowing with blue light, which looked like they were coated with poison.

The sudden change occurred, and the Shenwu Army reacted very quickly. Dozens of soldiers immediately took out the muskets they carried and fired in the direction of the crossbows.

"Bang bang bang..."

A dozen child soldiers on a nearby high slope immediately rushed out and charged towards the carriage, some with strong arms throwing thunderbolts from a distance.

"Rumble..."

A violent explosion sounded...

Taking advantage of the chaos of the explosion, a dozen more child soldiers rushed out of the woods.
