Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Yang Feng and the remaining troops were defeated. Their morale was already low. They ran for dozens of miles to escape. They were already too tired to hold their swords and guns. The ambushes were recharging their strength and waiting for work. How could they fight this battle?

Although Yang Feng and everyone else saw clearly that the ambush soldiers were well-armed and well-equipped officers and soldiers, their hearts became more and more desperate. The officers and soldiers suppressed the rebels in an extremely bloody and cruel manner. If they fell into their hands, there would be no possibility of survival.

Run back?

Don't be kidding, I really can't run anymore, it would be better to wipe my neck myself.

Are you a subordinate of the Red Lady?

A tall and handsome young officer wearing Mingguang armor, riding a tall horse, and with a high battle flag hanging high behind him, stepped out from the crowd and shouted loudly.

Hey, isn't that Gao Jie?

At this moment, the sky began to light up. Some of the rebels recognized the young officer and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Gao Jie... Yang Feng groaned in pain, his heart becoming more and more desperate.

As one of the senior generals of the rebel army, he naturally knew the details of Gao Jie. Among the rebel army, Gao Jie was well-known as a ruthless person who dared to cuckold the king Li Zicheng.

Gao Jie was once one of the ten most powerful generals under King Li Zicheng. Later, for some reason, he slept with Li Zicheng's wife Xing. After the incident, he took Xing to join the army and is now the chief military officer of Shaanxi.

Gao Jie cuckolded Li Zicheng, and it was naturally a fight to the death. Therefore, when suppressing the rebels, Gao Jie worked extremely hard and used extremely cruel methods. All the rebels who fell into his hands died without a burial place.

So what if it is? So what if it's not? Yang Feng forced himself to calm down and asked loudly. He had already thought about it. As long as the officers and soldiers came to kill him, he would draw his sword and kill himself to avoid being captured and suffering inhuman torture.

Sometimes, death is a relief.

So, you are really the subordinates of the Red Lady. It's a bit miserable, haha. Gao Jie chuckled, but his tone and demeanor were just joking, not sarcastic.

Last night, he was ordered by Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides, to set up an ambush here urgently. To be precise, he was here to meet the remnants of the Red Lady's retreating troops.

Part of Gao Jie's Shaanxi army was stationed in this area, so naturally he sent a large number of special scouts to closely monitor the movements of Hong Niangzi's and Li Zicheng's troops.

Sun Chuanting knew immediately that the Red Lady fought with Li Zicheng and defeated Li Zicheng's three thousand rear army, which made him both surprised and worried.

Li Zicheng killed his most capable subordinate Li Yan, destroyed the Great Wall, the red lady avenged her husband, and turned against Li Zicheng. All these confirmed the emperor's guess that the emperor was truly a god.

The enemy's enemy is a natural ally. He was worried that the new ally, Red Lady, would win the first battle and underestimate the enemy. She would be defeated by Li Zicheng in a sneak attack and suffer heavy losses. He would lose a strong ally.

Sure enough, after midnight, thunderous roars and killing sounds came from Long'anji, and blazing flames reflected the sky red and could be seen for dozens of miles around.

Unable to see at night and the enemy's situation unclear, Sun Chuanting could only order Gao Jie to set up an ambush here. If the Red Lady led the remaining troops to escape here, let them pass and go to Li County to rest. If Li Zicheng's people passed by, kill him. No scraps of armor remain.

Gao Jie was the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province appointed by Zhu Youjian, and he had great grace. Sun Chuanting did not hide anything from him. Naturally, he also knew some core secrets. He knew that the emperor was trying to win over the red lady, so he was naturally polite to the red lady and her subordinates.

Wha...what?

All the rebels, including Yang Feng, opened their mouths, thinking that their ears had heard wrongly. How could this be possible?

If you don't want to leave, then just wait for Li Zicheng's men to chop off your heads and go back to claim credit. Gao Jie said angrily.

Damn it, for all my good intentions, you actually doubted me. It’s so damn hard to be a good person these days.

Yang Feng and others really didn't believe that Gao Jie would be so kind, but the men behind the palace came panting to report. Yuan Zongdi, one of Li Zicheng's ten most powerful generals, led his troops to kill him. He was already less than two miles away from here.

Let's go. Yang Feng's expression changed drastically. After careful consideration, he decisively ordered the entire army to move forward.

Going forward is death, retreating is death, left and right are both deaths, so let's take a gamble.
