However, he said that Li Zicheng attacked Xuanwu Wei several times but did not resist, and he was worried about Luoyang, so he couldn't help but be restless. However, he still had a trace of luck, hoping that the new army would not be interested in Luoyang, but simply guarding Kaifeng, and successively sent several troops to return to Luoyang, all of which were like mud into the sea, and there was no news, so that Li Zicheng's luck collapsed a little, and there must be a problem between Kaifeng and Luoyang!

I regret that I shouldn't have listened to Li Yan's advice at the beginning, Luoyang shouldn't give up, and now I only hope that the Luoyang peasant army can hold on to the city and wait for me to return to the division.

Li Zicheng thought about it, it was still difficult to make up his mind to go south, after all, the land of Henan and Shaanxi was his own nest, and it was undoubtedly his life to give up this hard-won base by himself, and finally decided to return to Luoyang, even if the new army had captured Luoyang, he would fight back again, and after making up his mind, he convened the generals to discuss, this time everyone was surprisingly unanimous, and even Li Yan, who had always been quite insightful, sighed and remained silent. Seeing that no one objected, Li Zicheng ordered the division to return to Luoyang tomorrow, and after Bai Wang led 10,000 horses, the army must rush back to Luoyang within seven days! I have to say that it is Li Zicheng's hesitant and decisive character that makes it difficult for him to achieve great things in the end.

Just as Li Zicheng was preparing for the class, Luoyang finally came!

Several peasant soldiers rushed from Luoyang with tired and panicked faces to report that Luoyang City had been recovered by the Ming army ten days ago, and Liu Youyi, the former general of the Ming army who defended the city, was captured, Li Guo's troops were defeated and fled westward, Liu Fangliang's 5,000 people were disabled, and Liu Fangliang himself was killed in battle. The goods of Luoyang City have been lost!

Li Zicheng's eyes went black when he heard the news, and he spit out a mouthful of blood. Frightened, his subordinates hurriedly rescued, Li Zicheng waved his hand, pushed away the people who stepped forward, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Hate!" I didn't expect that I would become a hero, but I was toyed with and applauded by a kid! ”

"King Chuang, my subordinates believe that the first task at present is to send people to Luoyang, figure out the ins and outs of the matter, send troops to block the main roads east of Luoyang, and snatch back our property, and at the same time implement a sneak attack plan and send surprise soldiers to raid Xuzhou to avenge this arrow." Niu Jinxing said in a deep voice.

"Li Gongzi, what do you think?" Li Zicheng pinched his head and asked.

"I basically agree with Mr. Niu's idea, but this sneak attack on Xuzhou still needs to be considered in the long run, I think that since the new army plan is so thorough, Xuzhou at this moment will inevitably be like an iron wall, and it will be in vain to return, and it will damage manpower in vain." Li Yan frowned.

Li Zicheng made the same mistake again, and began to hesitate: It seems that Li Yan's words are very reasonable, but if this revenge is not revenged, he can't swallow this breath, he is not a loser.

After thinking about it, Li Zicheng finally made up his mind to implement Niu Jinxing's plan and send people to attack Xuzhou!

However, it is said that Luo Yunqu led the army day and night, secretly sneaked, and finally arrived in Meng County on the fifth day after the fall of Luoyang City. According to the information of the intelligence officers in Luoyang City, Li Zicheng's main army has set off to conquer the Tiger Pass, and there are only more than 10,000 people stationed in the city, including 5,000 peasant troops to protect the goods of Fuwangfu's mansion. Seeing the rare opportunity, Luo Yunqu hurriedly ordered his troops to cross the Yellow River, capture Mengjin, and annihilate more than 2,000 peasant army defenders. Before the war, Luo Yunqu had a whim to get more than 1,000 sets of old armor of the Ming army to confuse the peasant army, which had a miraculous effect and made the peasant army in Luoyang relax their vigilance.

Just as the new army was preparing to make a surprise attack on Luoyang, a strange guest came to the barracks.

Luo Yunqu looked vigilantly at the strange man wearing a big hat in front of him, and he always felt familiar, until the person in front of him took off the hat and looked at him with a smile, Luo Yunqu was so frightened that he almost jumped up!

"Shuai, it's you. How did you get here? ”

This stranger is none other than Zhu Hao!

It turned out that Zhu Hao was in Xuanwuwei commanding the battle, but he was always not at ease when he thought about it, so he informed Li Dingguo, took a team of personal guards, disguised himself as ordinary people, and quietly sneaked into Luoyang, secretly staring at Li Zicheng's every move, so as to facilitate the response.

After staying in Luoyang City for a few days, Zhu Hao had already seen that Li Zicheng planned to abandon Luoyang, and it seemed that a large amount of property captured by the peasant army would not be safely placed in the city, and would inevitably be transported out of the city.

After listening to the whole story, Luo Yunqu couldn't help but be afraid, and complained: "Dashuai, you are really child's play, the area from Luoyang to Kaifeng is controlled by thieves, if they find out your whereabouts, the consequences are really unimaginable!" ”

"There's nothing to be afraid of, I don't care about the peasant army. Let's get down to business, the situation in Luoyang City is basically clear. I'm afraid the plans are going to change. Zhu Hao said.

"You mean you won't fight Luoyang City?"

"No, Luoyang still has to fight, otherwise we won't be able to deal with it. According to the information I have found, Liu Fangliang, Li Chuang's general, with 3,000 men and horses escorting a large amount of property, had secretly left the city the day before yesterday and headed to the northwest, and the other 2,000 people were heading south with some of their property. ”

"And what should I do?" Luo Yunqu was a little puzzled.

"Now there are less than 5,000 people in Luoyang City, let's intercept the materials of the northern line, quickly transfer back to Xuzhou, and then attack Luoyang with the main force, first, to lay down the city and hand over to the imperial court, and second, to cover the cavalry troops on the southern line to go north to meet us. When the time comes, I will insert a knife from Li Zicheng's back, and I will make him lose his wife and break his soldiers! Zhu Hao squinted his eyes and said.

A hundred miles north of Luoyang City, a convoy stretching for miles was slowly marching northward, and on both sides of the convoy were groups of peasant troops armed with swords and spears and green scarves.

At the front of the convoy, a general riding a tall horse was constantly shouting and urging the people to catch the car, it was Li Zicheng's general Liu Fangliang.

"Hurry up for Lao Tzu, look at your bear-like appearance, haven't you eaten enough?" Liu Fangliang roared while urging the war horse to run back and forth, with an impatient face. He didn't look down on this errand at all, and he only stared at the cart full of gold and silver treasures, and it was better to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

On a hillside a few hundred meters away, two telescopes were silently staring at the team.

"Lao Luo, do you see, that general is Liu Fangliang, wait for them to enter the ambush circle in a while, the sniper will attack first, kill the enemy's cavalry, be careful not to hurt the people, and ask them to drive us to the car." Zhu Hao looked at it for a while, and then rushed to Luo Yun next to him.

"Yes, Dashuai, I'll go down and make arrangements."

As soon as the order for the ambush of the new army was issued, the peasant vanguard there had already entered the ambush range. Liu Fangliang didn't find the clue, and still approached the grim reaper step by step.

"You grandma's..." Liu Fangliang just turned his head and scolded a soldier, when suddenly there was a "bang", and a strong wind passed by his face, wiping out a blood bar, and a personal soldier behind him immediately fell in response, was shot in the head, and the bubbling blood immediately stained the snow red.

Before he could react, there was another burst of gunfire, and more than a dozen of his own soldiers around him also fell off their horses.

"There's an ambush!" Liu Fangliang, who came back to his senses, shouted loudly, jumped off the horse, and looked around vigilantly, trying to find out the source of the gunshot. The entire convoy and the peasant army were also in chaos, and there was the sound of people and horses roaring everywhere.

"Kill, capture Liu Fangliang alive!" Before the peasant army could form a formation, a group of soldiers with muskets suddenly appeared in the barren grass not far away, shouting and charging at the convoy.

"It's the Ming Army! Archers fight back and shoot them to death! Liu Fangliang deserved to be a battle-hardened general, and soon recovered from the short-term panic and immediately organized a counterattack.

However, Liu Fangliang made a fatal mistake, he carelessly believed that as long as the archers of the righteous army lined up in formation, the cowardice of the Ming army would not be able to rush through, and when the time came, the Ming army would be in chaos, and his troops could defeat the sneak attack of the Ming army with a charge.

It's a pity that how can the peasant army, armed with broadswords, bows and arrows, pose a threat to the new army? Countless soldiers of the New Army rushed to a distance of more than 100 meters from the convoy and stood still, forming a position.

"Papapa" bursts of gunfire rang out, and the peasant soldiers guarding the convoy immediately became live targets and were knocked to the ground, but the archers of the peasant army could not pose a threat to the new army at all. There was no suspense in the battle, and under the overwhelming firepower of the new army, the infantry of the peasant army, whether it was launching a counter-charge or holding the spot, soon suffered numerous casualties, and some timid recruits also rushed away from the battlefield in a vain attempt to flee the battlefield, but they were greeted by an overwhelming rain of bullets.

Luo Yunqu's regiment had 3,000 men, and it could be said that it had an absolute advantage against the 3,000 peasant army, which had low combat effectiveness. Liu Fangliang reflected and knew that he couldn't fight hard, so he relied on the mobility of the cavalry and commanded his own soldiers to protect him and start to break through.

Liu Fangliang's choice is still reasonable, because the line is too long, the ambush circle is too large, and the new army is insufficient, so it can only barely block the convoy and infantry, and there is still some powerlessness to break through the cavalry.

At a distance of more than 100 meters, the cavalry charge only took more than ten seconds, and Liu Fangliang fought for more than 100 casualties, and finally broke through the encirclement and fled north with dozens of remnants.

"Send a signal, order all the snipers in ambush to concentrate their firepower, and focus on Liu Fangliang alone, and must not let him escape!" Zhu Hao saw Liu Fangliang break through the encirclement, and hurriedly ordered.

Also co-author Liu Fangliang damn it, the new army has always been a protective use of snipers, and after the large army charges, the snipers will withdraw from the main battlefield and stay in the rear to snipe and flee the enemy.

In the direction of Liu Fangliang's escape, there happened to be three snipers who were hiding and looking for their prey. Seeing a general with dozens of cavalry slipping by, the three snipers unanimously aimed their muskets at the general.

Just when Liu Fangliang saw that the new army behind him who could not pursue gave up the pursuit, "bang bang bang", three gunshots rang out, and Liu Fangliang, who was galloping with his head down, suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder, and got off the horse with a breath! A thought flashed in front of his eyes: his grandmother's, can the Ming army's musket hit so far?

The battle ended in less than half an hour, with more than 2,500 peasant soldiers killed and captured, several hundred people lost in the melee, Liu Fangliang was shot and captured, and the new army suffered almost no casualties.

After the investigation, thanks to the three snipers, only one of them hit Liu Fangliang, the other missed and killed a personal soldier, and the third person knocked down Liu Fangliang's war horse.

At this moment, Zhu Hao and Luo Yunqu couldn't manage so much, the two of them were happily inspecting the more than 1,000 truckloads of goods, looking at these gold and silver that exuded a charming luster, Luo Yunqu didn't know what to say.

"Okay, Lao Luo, you quickly send someone to send these goods back to Mengjin and load them back to Xuzhou." Zhu Hao stopped Luo Yunqu's gaffe.

Luo Yunqu hurriedly sent two battalions of troops to escort these goods to Mengjin. Zhu Hao looked at the injured and captured Liu Fangliang and the others, and his heart moved, and he reprimanded with a straight face: "Liu Fangliang, are you guilty?" ”

"Hmph, if you want to kill, you have to listen to the honorable people, King Chuang will definitely not let you wait for the eagle dog!" Liu Fangliang glared at Zhu Hao scoldingly, then turned his head and stopped talking.

Zhu Hao frowned, glanced at the rest of the captives, and said, "Our army's consistent policy is to resist strictly, confess leniently, and do not kill those who surrender." Liu Fangliang wants to go all the way to the dark, what about you, are you willing to die with him? ”

Several peasant soldiers kneeling on the ground glanced at each other a few times, lowered their heads and did not speak. Zhu Hao whispered a few words to Luo Yunqu, sneered, and shouted: "Stubborn! Come on, cut down all these thieves for me! ”

Several big men of the new army stepped forward with big knives with hideous faces, and slashed down at Liu Fangliang. With a pop, a human head rolled out with hot blood spurting out, and the human head's angry expression was terrifying.

"I surrender! Don't kill me! Several small leaders couldn't stand it, and immediately cried and begged for mercy, and some even peed their pants directly.

"Humph! Even if you know the current affairs, you will take our army to Luoyang later, as long as you do what I say, you will naturally be safe, if you dare to resist, you will taste the taste of my musket, even if you are a hundred feet apart, you can take your life! ”

After the order was properly ordered, Zhu Hao and Luo Yunqu immediately took the rest of the troops to take Liu Fangliang's subordinates hostage and rushed to Luoyang City.
