The next day, Huang Dequan, the general soldier of Luzhou, led 60,000 Luzhou troops to arrive, and the army of Luzhou reached 260,000.

"The last general Luzhou General Huang Degong, see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Chitose!" Huang Degong is about thirty-four or five years old, seven feet tall, and his bravery makes people respect.

"Mr. Huang is exempt." Zhu Cihong personally stepped forward to invite Huang Degong.

Zhu Cihong is very satisfied with Huang Degong, the six armies Zhu Cihong have secretly compared, Huang Degong's Luzhou army has the highest morale, neat military appearance, and with a wind of iron and blood, it is a rare elite army in the Ming Dynasty, to say that the future that Zhu Cihong admires the most at the end of the Ming Dynasty is none other than Huang Degong.

The general soldiers of the five towns who came this time, except for Gao Jie, who was born in a rogue, most of the others were civilian officials, and only Huang Degong was a small soldier from the border army who relied on bravery to kill step by step to the current position, but it is well deserved.

At the same time, what Zhu Cihong values most is Huang Degong's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, in history, the Qing soldiers went south, and the generals from all over the country surrendered when they heard the wind, only Huang Degong always ended up in the Ming Dynasty, and finally died in battle, how can Zhu Cihong not value such a person.

In Huai'an City, Liu Liangzuo couldn't get the news from Ma Shiying for a long time, and when he heard that another army was coming, the army outside the city suddenly increased to 260,000, and his face was suddenly like ashes.

"Big brother, I just got the news, the person who was sent out to contact Li Zicheng yesterday was accidentally robbed, and the letter must have fallen into the hands of the prince, and we can't argue." Liu Liangbing hurriedly came.

When Liu Liangzuo heard this, he staggered, and then clenched his teeth for a moment, his fists clenched, and his face was full of anger.

"At this moment, the only way to fight with the prince is to send a few more people, as long as we can contact Li Zicheng all the way, we still have hope." Liu Liangzuo cut off all thoughts and said resolutely.

It is not by chance that he Liu Liangzuo can get to where he is today, how can it be possible if he has no strength. At this moment, the road ahead is broken, he is desperate, any fear is useless, only to risk his life. After all, he has been operating in Huai'an for several years, but he has a full 40,000 troops under his command, plus 30,000 strong men forcibly recruited, a total of 70,000 horses, and he can't defend Huai'an City if he doesn't believe it.

"Smack!"

"Hurry up! Grinding, the leather whip in the master's hand is not long-eyed! On the wall of the east gate of Huai'an, a leather whip in the hand of a Huai'an soldier snapped on a strong man about 20 years old and wearing coarse cloth.

"Damn! He Liu Liangzuo is an old thief who is rampant and domineering on weekdays, and it is just a matter of bullying the people, and now he has to pull Lao Tzu into the water when he rebels, if he has the opportunity, Lao Tzu will strangle him with his own hands! Zhou Cao carried a stone weighing dozens of pounds, and was whipped in the back, so hot that he almost fell and was hit by the stone he moved, and his stomach was already full of anger, he glared at the soldier viciously, the leopard's eyes were round, full of violence, like a cheetah about to attack its prey, extremely dangerous.

The soldiers of the Huai'an Army were stunned by this sudden glance, like falling into an ice cave, almost unable to control their incontinence, there was more than one Huai'an soldier next to him, fortunately he reacted in time, otherwise this embarrassment would be a big loss, and he was immediately furious, and he lashed several times on Zhou Cao's back.

"Glare! I'm glaring at Lao Tzu and gouging out your eyes! ”

"Smack!"

"Move!"

Zhou Cao silently glanced at the countless Huai'an soldiers on the city wall, lowered his head to pick up the stone that had fallen on the ground just now, and walked to the stack without saying a word.

The big camp outside the city, inside Zhu Cihong's big tent, the general soldiers of the five towns and the chief general of the Beijing camp, Ma Shiying, and Gao Hongtu all gathered here.

"Two hours ago, the prince had ordered someone to shoot an edict into the city, ordering Liu Liangzuo to go out of the city and surrender, but he didn't see his response, I think it must be planning to support the army and resist stubbornly, the crime is unforgivable, I don't know what you think." Zhu Cihong glanced at everyone with a sharp expression.

Everyone was swept away by Zhu Cihong's sharp expression, and their hearts were shaken, it seems that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only fifteen years old, he doesn't seem to be easy to fool at all, and he has to seek truth from facts.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, the last general thinks that he should immediately order an attack, since Liu Liangzuo dares to rebel, he must be punished!" It was Gao Jie who spoke, this person was originally the general army of Shaanxi who fled to Jiangnan, and he was one of the four towns of the general army who supported King Fu, and he was the most humble among everyone, so he was naturally the first to show favor to Zhu Cihong.

"Yes, the last general also implored His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to immediately order an attack on Huai'an and kill the traitor Liu Liangzuo!" Huang Degong said.

"The last general, Li Huaxi, seconded the proposal that Huai'an should be attacked immediately!"

"The last general, Hunn, seconded it!"

"The last general, Ma Yingxuan, seconded the proposal!"

"Old minister Ma Shiying, second!" Ma Shiying pursed her mouth, she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.

"Old minister Gao Hongtu seconded the proposal!" Gao Hongtu glanced at Ma Shiying and didn't say anything.

Everyone seconded the proposal, and no one raised an opposing opinion, it is imperative to attack Huai'an and kill Liu Liangzuo!

"Good!" Zhu Cihong stood up suddenly: "The generals listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!" Everyone followed and stood up.

"Luzhou General Soldier Huang De's 60,000 troops attacked the West Gate. Li Huaxi, the general soldier of Xuzhou, led the headquarters of 40,000 troops, and Gao Jie led the headquarters of 20,000 troops to attack the north gate. The general army of Yangzhou and the general army of Zhenjiang each led their troops and horses to attack the south gate. The 50,000 troops of the Beijing camp and the 30,000 Shandong troops led by the prince himself attacked the east gate. Zhu Cihong ordered loudly.

"The last general will obey!"

The general soldiers of the five towns walked out of the big tent one after another to direct the soldiers and horses to attack the city gates they were responsible for.

An hour later, all the armies were deployed. An army of 260,000 surrounded Huai'an, and began to attack after Zhu Cihong's order.

"Attack!" Zhu Cihong gave an order, and nearly 100 catapults launched huge stones towards the Huai'an city wall.

"Kill" thousands of soldiers shouted to kill the sky, carrying ladders and other siege equipment to rush towards the Huai'an city wall, black and pressing, the momentum shook the sky.

On the Huai'an city wall, more than 20 cannons were also fired, bombarding the black pressure on an army rushing towards the Huai'an city wall.

Because the siege weapon red-clothed cannon is extremely heavy and not easy to carry, the armies from all walks of life hurried after receiving Zhu Cihong's holy decree, so although Zhu Cihong had 260,000 troops, he did not have a single cannon, so he was a little passive in the face of the more than 20 cannons on the Huai'an city wall.

Although the more than 20 cannons on the Huai'an city wall are all old copper cannons, which can only fire solid iron balls, the range is not far, and the rate of fire is slow, but the power should not be underestimated.

At the east gate, Zhu Cihong stood about two kilometers away from the east gate and watched the army attacking the city, led by Ji Feng, the 30,000 Shandong army and the 50,000 Beijing camp a total of 80,000 troops were pressed by a black press, and the east gate was attacked in turn by thousands of people.

"Boom! Suddenly, a cannonball shot out from the city wall, creating a bloody path in the besieging army, and all the soldiers who were touched by the cannonball were either broken in two or had missing arms and legs, which frightened the people who saw this scene next to them.

Not only this time, as the besieging army approached the city wall, the cannons on the city wall continued to shoot cannonballs, and the scene just now was played out from time to time.
