Chapter 205: Reinforcements Arrive

When Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai's troops were besieging Luzhou City, a rogue spy came to Zhang Xianzhong's side and carefully reported what happened on Huo Mountain.

Zhang Xianzhong and the others were taken aback when they heard about it, they didn't expect that they would be so unbeaten, and it was only a few days away.

Zhang Xianzhong didn't care about the life or death of Ma Shouying and the others, his only worry was that after the officers and soldiers cleaned up the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution, they began to join forces to deal with themselves.

Zhang Xianzhong has always been a rogue doctrine, picking soft persimmons to start, and if he can't fight, he will slip away, and he will never be real with the Ming army that can fight.

This time, 6,000 officers and soldiers were wiped out in the Anqing regiment, which was the most outstanding annihilation battle he had fought since he raised his troops, and this record was enough for him to brag for a lifetime.

The officers and soldiers were beaten so badly, Zhang Xianzhong was also scared afterwards, seeing the officers and soldiers gathered in various places, he didn't even dare to fight Anqing, and turned his head north to fight Luzhou instead.

Of the more than 100,000 people of Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others, in fact, there are only more than 10,000 elite battalions with a certain combat effectiveness, and most of the rest are rabble, and the combat effectiveness is all based on the encouragement of Zhang Xianzhong, the king of pyramid schemes.

Among this group of people, Luo Rucai is wise and responsible, but Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong are on an equal footing, and they also have their own people, the kind that they say will leave, not to mention Liu Guoneng, Li Wanqing and other leaders.

Now Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates are mainly supported by Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, and Li Dingguo.

These four people are amazing, after Zhang Xianzhong established the Daxi regime in history, the four were named the four kings of the southeast, northwest and west.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army entered the customs, and Zhang Xianzhong was killed by the Qing army, his four righteous sons rebelled against the Qing Dynasty in various places.

One of the most outstanding is Li Dingguo, when he was twenty-one years old in history, disguised as a Ming army officer, with only 20 light horses to capture Xiangyang City, Xiangyang victory is an important turning point for Zhang Xianzhong's career.

After the Qing army went south to kill Zhang Xianzhong, Li Dingguo, who had been a thief for more than ten years, returned to the Southern Ming Dynasty, and proposed that the righteous army unite with the officers and soldiers to oppose the Qing Dynasty

A new situation.

Originally, Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons were against the Qing Dynasty, and the situation was once very good, but Sun Kewang felt that the fourth brother Li Dingguo threatened his position, so he began to engage in internal strife and sent troops to attack Li Dingguo.

After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he was deliberately shot to death by the Manchu Qing during a hunting, and he had a virtue and end with Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, and was disliked by the Tartars when he was a traitor.

Sadly, after Li Dingguo, who had continued the life of the Nanming regime for 20 years, died of illness, his son and the sons of the other two righteous brothers were all cleared, which is really the sadness of the times.

The 100,000-strong army of thieves is still attacking Luzhou City, and it is becoming more and more fierce.

Several thief leaders in the Chinese army are anxious in their hearts, the fate of the fifth battalion of the left is too big a blow to them, and now the rebels of the whole country, they still dare to take the initiative to attack the city, since the king Gao Yingxiang was chopped off, the rebels have become a plate of scattered sand, and the profession of anti-thieves has become a little unpopular.

Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly laughed and said, "I'm afraid of a bird!" The emperor's son also led the officers and soldiers around the mountains, and when they came out, they found that Luzhou was lost, and Fengyang was also lost, what kind of expression would it be! ”

"Hahaha!" The generals laughed one after another, and their emotions were obviously mobilized a lot.

Zhang Xianzhong continued: "Brothers, when we rob Fengyang's grain, we will tidy up our soldiers and horses, and then go south to defeat Nanjing, and then the situation will be opened!" ”

Liu Guoneng was surprised: "You want to fight Nanjing? ”

Zhang Xianzhong ignored him, and continued: "As long as we work harder, we will definitely take Luzhou City within two hours!" Brothers, go up again, break the city! ”

In addition to tens of thousands of people besieging Luzhou City, 20,000 people and horses came out of the main formation of thieves again, and began a large-scale siege of Luzhou City, the scale was unprecedented, and the follow-up army was to concentrate on the main attack on Nanguan, and there were thousands of men and horses in each wave of attack, and the tactics of the sea of people in the rogue were fully played.

Looking down from the city of Luzhou, a large army of black and oppressive rogues came in waves, like a tide, and for a while, the sound of killing shook the sky, and a large number of rogues began to pour onto the city wall.

Feeling the madness of the Liukou, there was a panic in Luzhou, and the officers and soldiers of Beiguan were even ready to surrender in Kaicheng.

On the city wall of Nanguan, the rogue continued to climb the city wall, and the officers and soldiers fought for the city wall, the officers and soldiers killed a group, and there were still a large number of rogues pouring up.

Yang Yufan has already begun to fight in person with an iron spear, he wields an iron spear or a thorn, or a shot, which is very powerful.

"Kill!"

The iron spear in Yang Yufan's hand slammed into the body of a rogue, and then quickly pulled out and smashed the iron spear in his hand, and the other rogue in front of him was instantly smashed.

At this time, a soldier said nervously in the distance: "Lord General Soldier, General Wu of Beiguan has opened the city gate and surrendered!" ”

Yang Yufan's face was ugly, and his mood was very heavy, he didn't expect a traitor to appear in his army.

A soldier asked in a low voice, "My lord, can we still hold Luzhou?" ”

Seeing that the resistance of the surrounding soldiers was gradually depressed, Yang Yufan shouted: "Vice General Liu, you go to Beiguan and kill that traitor!" Hold on, the city is in the people, the city is broken, and the people are dead! ”

After saying that, he continued to rush to the rogues who climbed the city wall, and fought hard to kill the thieves, and the emotions of the defenders were infected by him, and they all clenched their weapons and continued to fight with the thieves who rushed up the city wall.

After a while, a joyful voice came: "My lord, it's reinforcements!" Our reinforcements are coming! ”

After Yang Yufan stabbed a rogue, he looked from afar, only to see that outside the city of Luzhou, there were a large number of cavalry rolling and rushing to kill on the flanks of the rogue, and they were like a bamboo, like a sharp sword inserted into the rogue army array, invincible, no one could stop them.

The siege of the Liukou was already exhausted and weak, and when they saw the arrival of reinforcements from the officers and soldiers, everyone fled for their lives in horror and retreated into the formation.

"Reinforcements are coming!" A cheer erupted in the city of Luzhou.

Yang Yufan exhaled lightly, but he was still anxious in his heart, there were only more than a thousand cavalry reinforcements coming, although they were fierce, but they couldn't last long after all, but who was the general of this army, so fierce!

Zhang Xianzhong, who was in the army, was a little surprised, and he wondered: "Where are these officers and soldiers?" Only such a few people dare to break into battle? ”

His righteous descendants can hopefully say: "Father, let the child lead someone to destroy him!" ”

"Report! A large number of officers and soldiers appeared ten miles north of Luzhou City, and the soldiers and horses were less than 10,000, and they couldn't see the end at a glance! ”

Zhang Xianzhong scolded angrily: "Hey! Your mother is hairy, where did this come from! It's really a fucking bad year, withdraw the troops! ”

The leaders of the thieves also secretly scolded a pity, seeing that they were about to take Luzhou, they didn't think that there would be reinforcements from officers and soldiers, why are there so many officers and soldiers!

With the sound of the thieves coming from the sound of the gold retreat, the thieves retreated like a tide, and the city of Luzhou was cheering, and when the city was almost broken, reinforcements suddenly appeared, God blessed.

Although there were only more than 1,000 cavalry men, they still clashed left and right in the retreating army of thieves, cutting and strangling, and did not put the 100,000 army in their eyes at all, and saw the defenders of the city worship for a while.

When the cavalry was getting closer and closer to the city wall, Yang Yufan could roughly see the general who was riding his horse at the front, he was Zhou Yuji, the commander of the Third Royal Brigade of the Tianwu Army.

After Zhang Xianzhong retired from the army, Yang Yufan opened the city gate and personally greeted Zhou Yuji in front of the city gate, Zhou Yuji was stationed in Taiping Mansion, and heard that the army of thieves was besieging the city, and he could not bring all the people and horses around the military weapons bureau and the iron factory, so he only brought a cavalry regiment to the rescue.

When the two of them were polite, Yang Tinglin, the prefect of Fengyang Prefecture and the head of the military tun department, who led the army to support, also arrived, and when he saw that Luzhou was fine, he took a long breath.
