A round of artillery fire ended, and Li Zicheng got a rare moment of breathing.
He rushed forward with his only bodyguard.
He still had time to escape before the next round of artillery fire.
At this time, the connection between Li Zicheng and Tian Jianxiu had long been severed, and all they could count on were the remaining personal guards.
Live, he wants to live Shang Kexi, who was on the small hill, wanted to laugh when he saw this.
This Li Zicheng is still struggling when he is about to die.
"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow" Although the artillery could not bombard immediately, the archers were already prepared.
The archers in Shang Ketian's army are all veterans of many battles, and their shooting skills are very superb.
What's more, there is no need to deliberately aim when shooting arrows from a high place.
As soon as the rain of arrows is poured down, the people in the valley will turn into hedgehogs.
Shang Kexi gave the order and flew down like locust feather arrows, instantly knocking dozens of Li Zicheng's personal guards to the ground.
Li Zicheng was lucky enough and was not shot in the vital part.
But when a round of arrows rained down, he was still hit by two arrows on his right arm and left calf.
Li Zicheng endured the pain and continued to move forward with a limp.
The Qing army's limited number of archers could not cover every inch of land.
As long as he tried his best to move out, he could always get out of the Qing army's ambush circle.
The desire to survive was so strong that Li Zicheng gradually walked out of death step by step.
No matter how hard the arrows shot by the Qing army could harm him, Li Zicheng laughed loudly and said: "I should not die, I should not die."
At dawn, Li Zicheng crossed Niujiling and came to a village.
At this time, there was not even a single bodyguard left around him, only Li Zicheng was alone.
After escaping for a night, Li Zicheng was hungry and cold, and he was wounded by an arrow and could no longer walk.
The village in front of him was like a life-saving straw to Li Zicheng.
The slight smoke rising from the kitchen indicates that someone is cooking in the village.
Li Zicheng swallowed hard and walked towards the village with difficulty.
There was a well at the entrance of the village, but Li Zicheng had no intention of getting water.
He now had to quickly eat some food and tend to his wounds.
Otherwise, the wound may fester over time.
The village is not big, with only a few dozen households.
But the house is very neatly built, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
Li Zicheng walked to a door and knocked lightly: "Is anyone there?
I want to ask for food."
Although asking for food was a bit difficult for Li Zicheng to say, he still said it.
There seemed to be no one in the house.
Li Zicheng frowned but pushed the door open.
With a creak, the old wooden door was easily pushed open.
Li Zicheng walked into the house and looked around, and found that this family was relatively well-off and had basically everything they needed.
They should be a relatively high-status family in the village.
He is very lucky, and he is more likely to be able to get food from such a family.
"Is anyone there?
I want to ask for some food."
Li Zicheng asked again.
Still no one responded.
Li Zicheng frowned.
Could it be that all the family members have gone out?
But what were they doing out this early in the morning?

It was already past the busy farming season.
Li Zicheng was full of doubts and continued walking to the backyard.
As soon as Li Zicheng entered the yard, he smelled the aroma of pancakes, and his Adam's apple twitched as he swallowed.
Li Zicheng walked over looking for the scent and found a large pancake being baked on a large iron pot in the kitchen.
Apparently the host had just left home not long ago, and the cakes hadn't even been burned yet.
Li Zicheng was so hungry that he didn't care anymore.
He directly picked up the hot cake and put it in his mouth.
The pancake was really hot.
Li Zicheng grinned from the heat.
In desperation, he took the pancake out of his mouth and blew on it.
After a while, he started chewing.
At this moment, he felt that this big cake was more delicious than any other delicacies, and he wished he could eat two or three pieces in one go.
Just as Li Zicheng was stuffing pancakes into his mouth, a group of people suddenly rushed over from the front yard.
They held hoes and dung forks in their hands, and looked very angry.
"It's him, this little thief who keeps stealing things.
Let's beat him to death."
A man of short stature and wearing a coarse cloth pointed at Li Zicheng's nose fiercely.
Li Zicheng quickly took out the pancake from his mouth, waved his hand and said: "Misunderstanding, this must be a misunderstanding.
Someone wanted to come in to beg for food, but when there was no one, he..."
"You steal and rob people, but you dare to make excuses" The short-built man sighed.
He said that things have been lost at home lately, either chickens or eggs, and it turned out that they were really being robbed.
Catch the traitor and the couple, catch the thief and catch the dirty, now everyone has the stolen goods, this guy still wants to quibble, it is really shameless Li Zicheng forced himself to calm down.
Seeing that this person had been giving orders, he knew that he was the leader, so he coaxed him nicely: "May I ask what I call this fellow countryman?
Can I give someone a chance to explain?"
"Hmph, I, Uncle Cheng Jiu, if you fart, hurry up."
Li Zicheng suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a harmonious voice: "A certain person was chased by a group of evil people and escaped to your village unintentionally.
He just wanted to beg for food.
Just now, a certain person thought that there was no one in the house, but he was really hungry.
I took the pancake and ate it.
This is wrong, but I can pay as much as I want."
Cheng Jiubo hesitated and said: "You are the only one who can still pay for it.
Please take out the money first and let us take a look."
Li Zicheng hurriedly touched his waist, but he couldn't find the money bag after touching for a long time.
What's worse, he must have left his money bag behind while escaping.
Seeing Li Zicheng's confused look, Cheng Jiubo sneered: "You can't get the money, I think you look like a thief."
A young man of sixteen or seventeen years old beside him also said: "Uncle Jiu, look at that guy with arrows stuck in his arms and legs.
I don't think he is a good person."
A group of villagers agreed.
No wonder they were suspicious, Li Zicheng's current appearance was too easy to arouse suspicion.
Li Zicheng had already sensed the danger and subconsciously took a step back.
"Everyone, please listen to an explanation."
"Don't listen to his deception, beat him to death" However, Cheng Jiubo let out a loud roar, picked up the shovel first and swung it towards Li Zicheng.
Although Li Zicheng was injured, he still dodged the blow.
But what followed was a siege by a group of angry villagers.
"Kill this little thief" "Take his body and report it to the official" "Eradicate evil and protect the countryside" Hoes and dung forks came at them one after another.

Li Zicheng couldn't avoid it and put his hands in front of his body.
However, it didn't take long for him to be smashed into a pulp by the angry villagers.
After confirming that the person in front of him was completely dead, Cheng Jiubo said proudly: "I heard that a bandit's head is worth a lot of silver.
So we reported it to him, and in exchange for the silver reward, I treated everyone to a drink."
