"Luo Ye, Luo Ye!" At the north gate, the guerrilla general Liu Jianyi turned over from his horse and walked towards Luo Tai, a general who was looking into the distance at the head of the city.

This Liu Yiluo and the two of them are both subordinates of Wang Shaoyu, the chief soldier of Henan, and they have always complained about the fact that they came to Luoyang to help.

It is also said that the two of them originally did a good job in Kaifeng Mansion, and who would have thought that the surnamed Wang had to take over the order to help Luoyang.

Until now, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of bandits, they can't move, and they will definitely not be able to win the fight, and they will not be able to win the battle, let alone think that they can retreat with their whole body.

"Ugh."

Luo Tai was sighing, and he didn't turn his head back when he heard the voice, but said: "General Liu, you don't guard your east gate well, what are you doing at my north gate?" ”

"Master Luo, happy event, happy event!" Liu Jianyi said and handed over a copy of the newspaper.

Luo Tai received it, but his brows deepened: "There are hundreds of officers and soldiers surrounded by Qilihe, and most of them are still your subordinates, this is a happy event?" Even if it's a happy event, it's a happy event for the thief, what does it have to do with me? ”

"It's a happy event, it's really a big happy event!" Liu Jianyi nodded affirmatively and said, "Master Luo, do you think, can Luoyang be able to hold it now?" ”

"Unless there are reinforcements." Rotai shook his head.

Luoyang claims to have 50,000 defenders, but there are mixed levels here, and there are not many people with combat effectiveness.

These 50,000 are barely gathered by counting the reinforcements of Kaifeng, the local defenders of Luoyang, the local armed forces and the people who have withdrawn into the city.

Even so, there are still a large number of people here who do not have complete armaments, nor have they undergone systematic training, and it is okay to throw stones down when defending the city, and let them fight the bandits, which is simply to deliver food.

"That's right, since I can't hold it, why don't I find another way to make a living." Liu Jianyi said something that shocked Luo Tai.

"Liu Jianyi, you are so bold! You want me to sacrifice my city to the enemy, and trap me in disloyalty and injustice! Luo Tai didn't say a word, and drew his saber with a 'poof'.

Suddenly, there was a sound of clapping and cheering from the city.

A middle-aged man with a big belly walked up and said with a smile: "General Luo, in Xia Dynasty Mountain, you must have heard of my name. ”

"Heh, Xin'an Wang's family, a well-known name in Henan, haven't you heard of it, isn't it that I'm lonely and unheard?" Luo Tai still held the knife tightly.

Wang Chaoshan said: "At this moment, the soldiers and horses of the two generals in the Santun camp are being besieged by the righteous army, and every moment of delay will lose some more cronies. ”

"Come on, detain these two people, I will make this matter clear!" Luo Tai immediately made a decision, turned around and left.

......

In the central camp, a soldier hurriedly lifted the curtain of the tent.

"Zongzhen, General Luo Shen asks to see you!"

"Please." Wang Shaoyu put down the newspaper in his hand about the reinforcements and said quietly.

This report comes from Yang Sichang, and it is the result of the official army of the five provinces of the Central Plains in pursuit of Zhang Xianzhong.

Ten days ago, Zhang Xianzhong took Zhang Dingguo as the vanguard, and the latter led 28 cavalry to stand out under the condition of being surrounded and suppressed by a large number of officers and soldiers, galloped more than 300 miles at night, and went down to Xiangyang in a battle, shaking the government and the opposition.

It is very clear in this newspaper that after the capture of Xiangyang, Zhang Xianzhong collected all the salaries and armor accumulated by the officials and soldiers of the five provinces in the city for his own use, and his power soared.

He also held the head of Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, and stood at the head of the city and said unashamedly: "I want to borrow the king's head to make Yang Sichang trap the feudal lord." ”

Xiangyang fell, there is not one in the city of soldiers and civilians, this is the urine of the so-called rebels, if Luoyang is broken by the breaking army, this will be the next Xiangyang.

Not to mention how Yang Sichang, who heard the news, was frightened and sick, and Xiangyang was captured by bandits, which also made the people of the entire Luoyang worried.

Since yesterday, there have been scenes of people fleeing in groups in Luoyang City, and Wang Shaoyu has sent some additional soldiers to maintain it, but this phenomenon will only intensify with time.

If it goes on like this, it is obviously not the way to go.

Luo Tai walked into the big tent, but smelled the smell of Chinese medicine, there was a newspaper on the table, Wang Shaoyu lowered his head and kept silent, it seemed that he was not in a very good mood.

"The town, the Qili River is surrounded." Luo Tai handed the newspaper to Wang Shaoyu, intending to test what he meant.

It's always right to sail carefully on a 10,000-year-old ship.

"Qili River..."Wang Shaoyu got up and looked at the map, only to find that it was just a small camp that the official army had arranged in the lower reaches of Luoshui.

What's more, there are only more than 700 people there, and there are no direct subordinates of his own, so it doesn't matter to him, if it's gone, it's gone, and it doesn't affect the battle situation.

"Oh, the town knows, you go down." Wang Shaoyu sat back, took a sip of Chinese medicine, and let out a long sigh.

Seeing that Luo Tai was standing there and didn't move, Wang Shaoyu raised his head: "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

"No, the last general will retire." Luo Tai frowned and withdrew from the big tent, took a deep breath, and hurriedly walked to the place where Liu Jianyi and Wang Chaoshan were being held.

"Let them out!"

......

"Don't fight, don't fight, we surrender!!" In the Qilihe military camp, the officers and soldiers who had been fighting fiercely for half a day could not see the slightest sign of reinforcements in Luoyang, and finally decided to surrender.

As the gate of the camp opened, the intruders lined up in a long line and walked into the barracks, and immediately unloaded all the officers and weapons and replaced them in their own hands.

After that, all the surrendered Qilihe officers and soldiers were reorganized into various camps to make meritorious contributions.

Li Zicheng did not rush into the siege of Luoyang again the day after Zhu Youhua's night attack, because he realized in the first attack that it was too difficult to take Luoyang head-on.

With his longing for Gao Guiying and his hatred for Zhu Youhua, Li Zicheng spent a day completely turning Luoyang into an isolated city.

After taking the Qili River, the Chuang army continued to advance towards Luoyang.

"Eat his mother, wear his mother, open the door to meet the king, and divide the field when the king comes!"

"The rent is heavy, the profit is high, and it is difficult for the poor to survive these days. Open the door early to worship the king, do not pay rent and do not repay debts, and discipline everyone is happy......"

On February 15 of the 14th year of Chongzhen, the song of the king of Yingchuang once again sounded in the mountains and fields outside Luoyang City.

Along with it, there was a white-clothed army all over the mountains, and they came to the east gate in a mighty way, this time unlike the last time, they were with all kinds of preparations.

There are already a lot of light equipment such as wheelbarrows, ladders, and shield carts, and in addition, they also transported the heavy artillery captured from all over the country to Luoyang City, intending to have an artillery battle with the officials and soldiers.

"It seems that the thief is here for real." Wang Shaoyu held on to the brick wall with one hand and stared into the distance.

"King Nanyang has arrived!"

With a shout, all the officers and soldiers turned their eyes, and Zhu Youhua, who was wearing iron armor, shouted loudly: "Soldiers, hold on a little longer, reinforcements will arrive soon!" ”

"Reinforcements?"

Wang Shaoyu smiled, he knew that this was Zhu Youhua's white lie, the latest reinforcements, the fierce tiger stationed in Nanyang, had already been pulled out two days ago to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong.

As if knowing what he was thinking, Zhu Youhua said again: "Don't doubt it, if I say there are reinforcements, then there must be reinforcements!" ”
