Travel back in time and become Chongzhen, watch me turn the tide

Over the years, Gao Jie's life has been likened to a ship sailing through turbulent waters, filled with twists and turns. Whether it was during his time following Li Zicheng in bloody battles against the Ming army, or later, when he rebelled against the Dashun army, he always led his troops in fierce, bloody battles, resulting in a close fight.

Gao Jie's years of military service have amassed a wealth of combat experience. Over time, especially in recent years, his weapons and equipment have been significantly improved. In Gao Jie's mind, the army he leads has become one of the world's most elite. He has immense confidence in his troops, convinced that they can bravely advance and achieve victory in any battle.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

Gao Jie confidently led three to four thousand men to besiege Huang Degong in today's battle. He thought that with the strength of his army, he would be able to quickly defeat Huang Degong. However, Huang Degong's troops put up a stubborn resistance, and Gao Jie's army was unable to break through, leading to a stalemate between the two sides.

Then, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Huang Fei's cavalry suddenly joined the battlefield, their attack like a surging tide. Gao Jie's troops were instantly crushed, and the soldiers retreated in disarray under the enemy's onslaught. With the support of Li Benshen and Yuan Chu, they finally managed to stabilize their position.

But just as Gao Jie was about to breathe a sigh of relief, another unexpected event occurred. His central army was unexpectedly penetrated by dozens of cavalrymen at lightning speed, with such speed that no one could react in time.

He stared with wide eyes at the cavalrymen who were charging towards his army like sharp swords, his heart filled with disbelief.

The battlefield was thick with smoke and dust, and the sunlight filtered through it, casting strange shadows. Gao Jie's face looked particularly pale under the light and shadow. He had always considered his most elite guards, but at this moment, they seemed so fragile. They were like paper, their defenses easily torn apart by the enemy.

Watching the soldiers around him fall like weeds in the north wind, completely powerless under the fierce fighting of Zhu Tie and Zhao Meng, Gao Jie was filled with shock and fear. "How could this happen? How could my central army be so vulnerable?"

"Song Kun, you take the Marshal and retreat to General Li. We'll cover you. Quick!" The deputy general of the guards who stayed behind to take care of Gao Jie's safety saw Zhu Tie break through the encirclement, while Gao Jie was still standing there in a daze. He hurriedly shouted, "The rest of you, follow me and kill the enemy!"

Upon hearing this, the lieutenant in charge of the general's flag beside Gao Jie immediately stepped forward, grabbed the reins of Gao Jie's horse, and said anxiously, "Marshal, let's go!"

"I, Gao Jie, have been on the battlefield for so many years, but I have never escaped..." Gao Jie shouted loudly, his tone full of unwillingness and stubbornness.

But when he turned around, he found that the deputy general had been knocked off his horse by the big black man who led the charge in just one round. This scene made him speechless immediately, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

He squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and the warhorse neighed loudly and rushed towards Li Benshen's team.

Gao Jie's cape rustled in the wind, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions. A fierce internal struggle raged within him. His pride wouldn't let him escape, but reason told him that life was a long way off. Ultimately, his instinct for survival triumphed over his pride, and he decided to flee.

"Boy, don't run. Get off your horse and prepare to die!" Zhu Tie saw Gao Jie trying to escape, so he squeezed his legs together and got off the horse.

The warhorse felt pain and rushed out with a whoosh.

At this point, Zhu Tie was only 20 or 30 meters away from Gao Jie. His horse had already exhausted itself from the previous sprint, but Zhu Tie showed no mercy and gave it another strong push. After the horse had run forward a dozen meters, it stumbled and fell to the ground, seemingly doomed.

Zhu Tieyong is brave, but he consumes too much horse. It seems that a good horse should be selected for him. Chongzhen, who was watching from afar, couldn't help but think.

Back to the point, just as the warhorse flung him out, Zhu Tie did a front flip and then rolled on the ground... It was surprising that someone this tall and strong could be so agile. This time, he stood up unscathed.

After standing up, Zhu Tie did not stop, but stretched out his long legs and chased after Gao Jie like flying.

Gao Jie looked back as he fled, seeing Zhu Tie stumble. Just as he was secretly rejoicing, Zhu Tie rolled over and stood up, actually running after him. Even more hateful was that this guy threw his long legs and ran faster than a galloping horse!

Gao Jie was filled with fear and despair. "Why is this guy so difficult to deal with? Is there really no way I can escape today?"

At this moment, Zhao Meng had already fought his way through the encirclement and was chasing after Zhu Tie. Seeing Gao Jie trying to escape, he decisively put away his spear and drew the short spear on his back!

This is Zhao Meng's unique skill. In addition to the long spear, he is also good at using the ten short spears on his back. When he is about to engage the enemy, these short spears never miss the target!

Zhao Meng raised his hand and threw the short spear towards Gao Jie like lightning. After all, Gao Jie had fought on the battlefield for so many years, his reaction was extremely quick, and he dodged like a conditioned reflex.

Zhao Meng threw three short spears in succession. The first one shot off Gao Jie's helmet, the second one shot down a cavalryman who came to protect him at the risk of his life, and although Gao Jie managed to dodge the third arrow, it happened to hit the lieutenant who was in charge of the general's flag, knocking him off his horse, and Gao Jie's general's flag also fell to the ground!

When Zhao Meng stretched out his hand again, he touched nothing. It turned out that the short spear had been thrown out in the previous attack, which made Zhao Meng feel regretful!

On the battlefield, the fall of a general's flag is a major event. But Gao Jie no longer cares about these things. He just wants to get away from these two killing gods behind him!

Although the pursuit was getting closer and closer, Li Benshen had already discovered Gao Jie's situation and sent people to rescue him. Seeing Gao Jie about to escape into the enemy army, Gao Jie felt a glimmer of hope in his heart: "As long as I can escape to Li Benshen, I still have a chance."

Gao Jie was like a drowning man grasping at a straw. He spurred his horse desperately toward Li Benshen's group, praying in his heart that he could escape. He didn't dare look back, knowing that Zhu Tie and Zhao Meng were hot on his heels and could catch up with him at any moment.

"Nai Nai, how can you escape!" Zhu Tie shouted angrily, raised the iron rod in his hand high, and threw it towards Gao Jie's back like a javelin!

Gao Jie saw the support team right before him, but before he could rejoice, he heard a gust of wind behind him. He ducked in a stirrup, and Zhu Tie's long staff flew past him and pierced his horse's head!

Zhu Tie's hurling was so powerful that the iron rod, as thick as a child's arm, pierced the back of the horse's head and sank deep into the ground! The poor horse didn't even make a sound, instantly dying. Its inertia only carried Gao Jie to the ground, rolling a long way.

Gao Jie was pinned beneath his horse. He felt a sweet taste in his mouth, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Despair filled his heart: "Am I, Gao Jie, going to die here today?"

Gao Jie's face was covered in dirt and blood, and his heart was filled with despair. He closed his eyes resignedly, waiting for death to come.

"Old boy, you still want to run! You'll have to see if I agree..." Zhu Tie walked forward and kicked Gao Jie who fell under his horse.

"Let me go, and I'll grant you whatever you ask for." Gao Jie groaned, feeling as if every bone in his body was broken. "Otherwise, when my people get here, they won't let you go!"

"Your people? They are just like chickens and dogs!" Zhu Tie snorted coldly.

"Why waste time talking to him? Let's take him back," Zhao Meng also caught up and said.

"You take him away, and I'll cover your retreat," Zhu Tie said as he dragged the dead warhorse away and threw Gao Jie onto Zhao Meng's horse.

"Okay, let's not fight any longer!" Zhao Meng nodded and said without any nonsense.

"Who dares to fight?" Zhu Tie stepped forward and pulled out the long iron stick stuck in the ground. He wiped the blood off the warhorse and carried it on his shoulder, shouting loudly!

At this time, the soldiers who came to rescue Gao Jie stopped. Although there was only Zhu Tie in front of them, this one person was worth a thousand soldiers!
