Chapter 512: Luoyang City Broken Five
The next day, the sky was dark, and the sound of trumpets sounded from the beggar barracks.
After a short time, the beggar army was dispatched, and soon the boundary in the north of Luoyang City was full.
Wen Houyou, who was woken up, looked at it with a clairing mirror, and found that yesterday's battle was so fierce, and the begging army suffered heavy casualties, and today's siege, at least on the surface, the morale of the begging army is still high, and the expression on their faces is to see death as if they were home, in an idiom.
The cold in Wen Houyou's heart surged again, and since the beggar army besieged the city, the cold air has not left his heart.
"Damn, they're here again, we haven't eaten breakfast yet!"
"Aren't they tired?"
The defenders of the city were really tired when they saw the beggar army attacking again, but they had to cheer themselves up and prepare for battle.
In this battle, the beggar army no longer dispatched all its members, but divided the team into three waves, Li Guo, Gu Junen, and Bai Guangen each unified the army, each army of 10,000 people, and the wheel warfare method.
The battle continued, and several layers of corpses were accumulated under the city wall in the north of Luoyang, and blood flowed into the moat, and the river was red.
There were constantly begging soldiers to climb the city, and they were blocked by the defenders to the city, and Wen Houyou went around to put out fires, and the scene was very critical for a while.
Li Zicheng looked at the situation in the north of Luoyang from a distance, and expected that the defenders would be tight at this time, and the southern guards would be extremely empty, so he could take the opportunity to enter the city at this time.
To the south of Luoyang, Gao Jie, who was in the dense forest, received an order from Li Zicheng's envoy, so he ordered his messengers to send a code.
The secret signal that lurked under the southern wall took out the flying claws, spun them back and forth, and then threw them at the entrance of the female wall.
Subsequently, these soldiers from the army carefully selected the fierce dead, like apes, along the hemp rope, toes the masonry of the city wall, and climbed quickly, without the slightest reaction from the city.
"It looks like the south of Luoyang is really defenseless, Luoyang is broken!"
Gao Jie was overjoyed.
There was a nimble man who climbed over the female wall, thinking about how to open the city gate, put down the drawbridge, and welcome Gao Jie's army into the city.
The dead soldier of the beggar army suddenly exploded in his heart, and his hair stood on end, and he was really shocked.
"Donkey Day, I don't want to have officials and soldiers."
His heart exploded, but the movements in his hands were not slow at all, and in the blink of an eye, he drew his knife in his hand, intending to fight, no matter what, he had to drag these enemies and buy time for his brother Pao Ze to go to the city.
He wanted to kill the enemy to the death, but the enemies in front of him just stood still, and they had no intention of fighting.
"Brother doesn't have to be like this, you came here last night, and we saw it. If I want to kill you, I asked for reinforcements yesterday, and you have no backup, how can you escape death, even if you go to the city today, we just need to call someone to cut the rope, and you will die, what do you think? ”
"If you see it, why don't you stop us?"
The beggar was astonished.
"Hey, ...... you guys!?"
The dead soldiers of the beggar army who came up to the city one after another were shocked when they saw the officers and soldiers who had been waiting here for a long time, but fortunately, the dead soldiers who came up first were talking to the enemy, so they did not immediately come forward to kill the enemy, but they were still vigilant.
"Say, why don't you stop us?"
"We are soldiers, and we have lived for the past two days, and the salary and silver have also been issued, and the reward is silver, and King Fu said that there are millions of silver taels for us to share. Hmph, if we repel you, we will be annoying thieves again, and there is no hope for life.
My sister married in Lushi County, she told me, you divide the land, my sister finally lived a good life, my father, my mother, and several of my children also want to live a good life, everyone also wants to live a good life, the beggar army can let us live a good life, so let's help you. ”
"A few Gao Yi, we will tell King Chuang and give you a few more acres of land for your family."
"In that case, I have thanked a few brothers."
When these officers and soldiers heard that their families could share a few more acres of land, their eyes suddenly lit up with a raging fire, and it seemed that they would be able to burn away the poverty of the past immediately.
"Brothers of the beggar army, let's go, follow us to open the city gate, where are your joints?"
"It's in the woods just outside the city."
"Okay."
Those officers and soldiers who surrendered to Cheng immediately put down the drawbridge together with the dead soldiers of the beggar army, and then went down to the cave of the city gate, opened the city gate, and let Gao Jie's cavalry enter the city.
Gao Jie and his cavalry waited for a while, and suddenly saw that the drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was opened, and the daredevils and a team of officers and soldiers were looking at him.
It's not a trap, there is no doubt, Gao Jie knows that Luoyang City has been breached.
"Let's go, let's drink in King Fu's palace today."
Gao Jie shouted excitedly and took the lead in rushing towards the south gate of Luoyang.
"Rush!"
The cavalry of the beggar army also shouted, and rushed into the south gate with Gao Jie.
"The beggars have entered the city!"
"The beggars have entered the city!"
Such a voice spread everywhere in Luoyang City, for ordinary people, it is really a natural sound, but for corrupt officials and gentry and rich and unkind families, it is the voice of life. For Luoyang, and even the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, King Fu, the begging army to enter the city is already a desperate sound.
King Fu is finished, everyone in his palace knows that when the big tree falls, the monkeys will naturally have to leave, and this will never go with empty hands, King Fu is rich in the world, and the things in the palace are of course worth a lot.
The palace people looted before fleeing. The treasures in the palace, some people even fought in order to compete for the treasures, and the Fuwang Palace was suddenly in chaos.
The palace steward saw that the subordinates of the past behaved like this, of course, he was a reprimand, but this had no effect.
When is it, King Fu is not afraid, but he is afraid of you as a housekeeper.
"Your Highness, take care of it, they eat your rice, but at this moment, they are so wolf-hearted, they don't want to protect Your Highness out of the city, they only know how to rob property."
Seeing that he couldn't control these subordinates, the palace housekeeper had no choice but to push open the door of the main hall, kneel and crawl a few steps in front of King Fu, crying, and crying to Zhu Changxun.
"Hey! At this point, no matter what they do, the thief army came, and they turned over. This king has difficulty moving, and he can't run far if he wants to, and the sons of the world are still young, so please take them out with you. Thank you, I will miss you when I go there. ”
Zhu Changxun calmly watched the subordinates in the palace snatching wantonly, and calmly arranged the aftermath.
"King, what do you say, let's go, let's go."
If the housekeeper doesn't obey, he will pull Zhu Changxun when he steps on the throne.
"That's it," King Fu shook his hand, pushed away the butler's hand, put his hand into his sleeve, took out a stack of silver tickets, held them up in front of the butler, and said astringently: "Although there are many collections, after all, they can't all be taken away, there are some silver tickets here, more than eight million taels, enough for them to eat." Take them to the south. ”
"The King's ......"
The butler didn't move, just choked.
"Quick, do you want to make this king the queen?"
King Fu didn't care about that much, and asked his butler sharply.
"Alas! Your ........, take care, my lord. ”
The officers and soldiers knew that the beggar army was only afraid that they would not be able to spare their own king, and this would be goodbye.
But he couldn't turn back, he only said goodbye to Zhu Changxun with tears and went to find the sons of the world.
On the way, he happened to meet the concubines and princes who came to find King Fu with the princes, and he couldn't care about much, the time was pressing, so he hurriedly took these concubines and the princes out of the city.
When they went out, they happened to see the big families who also wanted to escape. They were like flies without their heads, aimless, not knowing where to go.
There were constantly young men running out of the northern city wall passing by them, and seeing them like this, they were all gloating.
Hey, you guys have today, too!
The reason why the young men fled back was because the news that the south gate had been broken, like wings, spread quickly to the north gate.
Wen Houyou led more than 4,000 officers and soldiers under his command to fight desperately, and they were able to block the beggar army.
The defenders did not stop it, and there was no need to stop it.
In fact, most of the officers and soldiers defending the city were not very willing to contribute to the government, and now that the south gate was broken, the young men and women fled separately, and they no longer moved.
When they came up to the city, they saw that there were still defenders in the city, and they hurriedly raised their swords to fight.
