Chapter 362: The Righteous Army
Liu Laoer was a member of the new army that defected to King Chuang in December last year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He was originally a farmer in Xin'an County, Henan Province, not far from Luoyang. His family rented 16 acres of dry land owned by the Yuan family, but he didn't farm on weekdays, and liked to play around in the township, and threw all the farming to his parents. Last year, there was a great drought in Henan, and his family couldn't grow food for the next year, so he pondered what to do.
He wanted to rob the grain of the landlords in the city, who had stored the grain for several years, and robbing one gentry was enough for dozens of families to live for a year. Those gentry were very hateful, and they were starving to death outside, and those gentry did not open warehouses and put some grain out to help the poor. Rather the grain rot in the warehouse, they would not give it to the poor for disaster relief.
However, Liu Lao Er only knew a few green skins, and there was a shortage of manpower, so they didn't dare to do it.
Later, the good news came, and the world-famous King Chuang came. Liu Lao Er didn't think about it, and immediately joined the rebels. When he entered the camp of the rebels, he was given a spear and used as a foot pawn. Last month, the rebel army broke through Luoyang, and Liu Lao Er carried this spear to follow King Chuang and plundered it fiercely in Luoyang.
For the first time in his life, Liu Lao Er raised his eyebrows like that.
Those gentlemen and gentlemen who usually make a fortune on their heads are trembling at their feet. The grain in those granaries, I don't know how many years it has been stored, and it can't be moved, it is all used as military food. The gold and silver treasures that were snatched out of King Fu's mansion were boxes and boxes, and King Chuang gave each of the 30,000 righteous soldiers a reward of three taels of money.
The maids in King Fu's mansion were all enjoyed by the rebel soldiers in turn. Liu Lao Er also became a man that day, and he was a maid.
Every time Liu Lao Er recalled the days in Luoyang, he couldn't help but grin. That's the life of a man!
After defeating Luoyang, King Chuang had to open the seal. Kaifeng is the residence of the governor of Henan, and it is the provincial capital of Henan, which is more prosperous. If you can take Kaifeng with King Chuang, I am afraid that I will not be able to dream of a good day.
But I didn't expect to make a trip to bite the gold halfway. Just when the rebels surrounded Kaifeng City, the official army came. Liu Lao Er didn't know which way the officers and soldiers came, and King Chuang didn't let the soldiers guess, only said that there were only more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, and there were many righteous soldiers, and the righteous army would definitely be able to defeat the official army.
Liu Lao Er is not afraid of these officials and soldiers, and he will be killed by the officials in these years. The officers drank the blood of the soldiers and ate the empty salary, so that the soldiers were so poor that the donkeys rolled and did not have enough to eat. It is better to be an officer than a thief, what combat power can the officers and soldiers have? Just look at the guards in Luoyang, as soon as the army of King Chuang arrived, the officers and soldiers immediately rebelled and surrendered, where do they still need to fight?
It is estimated that the same is true for this attacking officer army.
In this big battle, Liu Laoer's team was arranged in the middle of the army. Liu Lao Er is still a little pity, and it would be better if he was in front of the army. Kill a handful of officers and soldiers, maybe you can be promoted to a horse army, and there are horses to ride and meat to eat.
Liu Lao Er went to the battlefield with regret.
But when he arrived on the battlefield, Liu Lao Er found that everything he thought was wrong.
The officers and soldiers standing in front of them were not vulnerable officers and soldiers, they were more than 10,000 killing gods.
As soon as the battle began, when the two armies were more than a mile apart, the artillery in front of the officers and troops roared. The sound of the cannon was louder than thunder, as if more than a hundred thunderbolts were exploding not far away.
The cannons of the officers and soldiers not only sounded, but also accurately, and after only one shot, they smashed all the more than 30 tiger squat cannons of King Chuang.
Liu Lao Er felt stunned at that time, which way is this official army? Why is it so powerful?
When King Chuang asked the army to rush forward, Liu Lao Er kept an eye on it. He walked slowly, and while the captain was not paying attention, he broke away from his own army, and shrank to the back of the line little by little.
But the back is not absolutely safe, the artillery of the officers and soldiers is too powerful. Liu Lao Er only walked sixty steps forward, and the cannon of the official army rang out again. A cannonball fell from the sky and shot into the crowd of rebels in front of Liu Laoer, and at once pierced the stomach of a rebel a few steps away from Liu Laoer.
Blood and minced meat splattered out, splashing Liu Laoer's face.
The shell pierced through one of the rebels and went castrated, smashing into the thigh of another rebel recruit. The recruit, who was shot, barely had time to react, and his thigh was broken. The shell bounced off the ground and hit the shoulder of the third rebel. Just a dozen steps away, Liu Lao Er saw with his own eyes that the entire right shoulder of the rebel army exploded, and his right hand was suddenly separated from the bloody body.
The cannonball smashed the shoulder of the third rebel and smashed into the chest of the fourth, smashing the ribs of the rebel's chest. The rebel was carried flying by the force of the cannonball, spat out a mouthful of blood in midair, and died without a word, crashing into the other rebels behind him.
The shells of this officer and army are really terrible. The officers and troops on the opposite side are definitely not ordinary officers and soldiers, and this battle cannot be won.
Liu Lao Er smeared oil on the soles of his feet and wanted to escape, he rubbed in place for a while and did not move forward, and then fled behind the army when no one was paying attention. But he had only run back five paces before an intruder, dressed in scale armor, rushed at him with a broadsword. Liu Lao Er was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, turned around and ran to the front of the army again.
The officer who led the troops saw that Liu Lao Er ran ahead, and no longer chased him, which made Liu Lao Er breathe a sigh of relief.
But Liu Lao Er was frightened by the officer all of a sudden, and ran too fast all of a sudden, and actually ran to the front of the army. It's not in the front, but it's in the front row. In front of Liu Laoer, there were only four or five rows of rebels.
Liu Lao Er was pondering that the rebels were walking very slowly, everyone was afraid of death, and the cannon of the officers and soldiers in front of him rang out again.
What Liu Lao Er didn't expect was that the cannon was not a round cannonball this time, but a loose cannon.
In just one moment, the three or four rows of rebels in front of them all fell. Liu Lao Er saw that the recruits in the front row suddenly had blood holes on their bodies, and they were pierced through two holes by the scattered cannons. Two steps before Liu Laoer, a recruit of the rebel army was shot in the front door by a scattered cannon, and his entire head was shot through in an instant. Blood burst out and sprayed Liu Laoer's face again.
Liu Lao Er was sprayed with blood all over his face at once, and thought that he had been shot, so he screamed at the highest volume.
He stopped and screamed for a long time, desperately touching his body and face with his hands, but found no wounds. The other intruders thought he had been shot, but they didn't urge him to come forward, and in the end he managed to blend in with the middle of the army, and was no longer at the front.
In front of the army, the guns of the officers and soldiers rang out.
Only a crackling sound was heard, and the soldiers in the front row of the rebel army fell in front of the battle one by one, like wheat cut by a sickle. (To be continued.) )
