While the hungry soldiers were fighting with the defenders on the city wall, a loud bang suddenly came from the north side of the city wall. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The city wall shook violently as if it had encountered a major earthquake, shaking the crowd at the head of the city to stagnate. The defenders in the back row looked north in a panic, not knowing what was happening. The hungry soldiers, who were still climbing the ladder, suddenly cheered.

Chen Yongfu slammed in his heart, ran up to an arrow tower next to him, and stretched his neck to look north.

Don't look at it, this time when he saw the situation of the northern city wall, Chen Yongfu was suddenly struck by lightning, and his face turned pale.

In the middle of the city wall to the north, I don't know when countless gunpowder was planted by the thieves' foot soldiers, and the loud sound that shook the sky was the explosion of gunpowder. At this time, a section of the city wall that was more than 100 zhang long was blown down, and this section of Kaifeng City in the north lost the protection of the city wall, and it was naked in front of the thieves.

The hungry soldiers outside the city wall shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky, as if they had seen the fall of Kaifeng.

Gao Mingheng, the governor of Henan, also understood what was happening on the north city wall at this time, he seemed to have been drenched from head to toe with a basin of ice water, and he stood on the city tower and lost his advance and retreat.

Chen Yongfu roared violently: "Mobilize 2,000 regular soldiers to defend the collapsed city wall, and transfer another 20,000 people to repair the city wall!" ”

However, Chen Yongfu's order was too late. Outside the collapsed city wall, 10,000 thieves, horses, and horsemen rushed up. The elite of these intruding armies had long been ambushed near the northern city wall, waiting for this moment. One by one, they jumped off their horses and rushed on foot towards the crumbling walls.

These elites wore cotton armor, armor or dark armor, wore helmets, and carried fine swords in their hands, completely different from the hungry soldiers.

It wasn't until these elite troops attacked the collapsed city wall that Chen Yongfu's 2,000 regular soldiers who had been supporting the past arrived. Two thousand regular soldiers and 10,000 elite soldiers fought on the city wall.

But the winner was decided almost immediately.

Most of the elites who rushed to the city wall, such as the Ma Jun and Xiao Cai, were old thieves who had followed Li Zicheng for many years, or the official army, or even the official army and even the official army defected to Li Zicheng, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong. Compared with the regular soldiers under Chen Yongfu, the personal combat power of these elite soldiers is not inferior at all, or even better.

Not to mention 2,000 people, even 5,000 people may not be able to stop these 10,000 elites.

However, Chen Yongfu could only transfer 2,000 people over. He, the general soldier of Henan, is not as good as the general soldier of the border army, and he only has 5,000 regular soldiers under his command. Even with the local garrison garrison, there are only 8,000 regular battalions in Kaifeng City. The Kaifeng city wall is more than 20 miles, and it must be defended everywhere under the charge of hundreds of thousands of hungry soldiers, and there are no more people in other places.

What's worse is that under the hundreds of thousands of hungry soldiers just now, Chen Yongfu's regular soldiers are exhausted. It is not an exaggeration to describe the 2,000 regular soldiers who were transferred to the past at this time.

Chen Yongfu only understood at this time that Li Zicheng's vigorous use of hundreds of thousands of hungry soldiers to attack the head of Kaifeng City was simply a plan to feint and exhaust the soldiers. After the hungry soldiers attracted the attention of the officials and soldiers, Li Zicheng's real killing move was gunpowder buried under the northern city wall, which was this ten thousand elites.

The so-called soldiers are not tired of deception, Li Zicheng has been fighting horses for more than ten years, and he has played the tricks on the battlefield to perfection.

Chen Yongfu gritted his teeth and stared at the collapsed city wall of more than 100 zhang, hoping that a miracle would happen. If the regular soldiers can disperse the invading army, and the people can carry the soil to rebuild the city wall, then there is still hope for holding Kaifeng City.

However, the miracle did not happen, and Kaifeng City, which had been strong for several years under the impact of Li Zicheng, finally could not support it.

10,000 elite soldiers against 2,000 regular soldiers, and it only took a quarter of an hour to decide the winner. The 2,000 regular soldiers were slashed and killed by the intruding army, and they were crushed, and fled to the south.

The soldiers on this section of the city wall collapsed, and the entire Kaifeng City was no longer in danger to defend. The entire city defense fell like dominoes, and the defenders on the walls of the city collapsed one by one, surrendered or fled. Where do the people of those cities still have the courage to resist? One by one, they knelt on the city wall, kowtowing and begging for their lives.

Chen Yongfu stuck to the western city wall, but in the end he failed to escape, and was captured by the breaking army together with Gao Mingheng.

The eyes of the hungry soldiers who poured into the city lit up. Although the army suffered some casualties in this battle, but with their efforts, they actually captured Kaifeng and captured the largest city in the Central Plains. Kaifeng has been captured, does the future of the army need to be said? The last suspicion of King Chuang was also abandoned by the hungry soldiers, and the thieves excitedly raised their spears and swords in their hands, and shouted from the city walls:

"King Chuang!"

"King Chuang!"

"it! it! There is no such thing as eating! Not bad! No food! ”

The hungry soldiers shouted for a while, and suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: "Kill King Zhou!" ”

"Kill those bloodsuckers of the Zhu family!"

"Kill the gentry!"

The intruders on the city wall reacted and rushed towards the palaces and gentry mansions in the city with shouts.

In Kaifeng City, there are not only the palace of the king of Zhou, but also the king of the king of Zhou, who has been reproducing for generations of nearly 100 county kings. There are more than 3,000 people in the city, such as the generals of Zhenguo, Fuguo, and Fengguo, who hold the imperial court. These people are all very rich, and they have built high-walled courtyards and palace gardens in the best areas of Kaifeng City, and they have become the best objects for the army to kill and plunder at this time.

And the gentry mansions in the provincial capital of Kaifeng City also could not escape the slaughter of the intruding army. These gentry exploited the civilians too harshly on weekdays, and at this time, the hatred of the hungry soldiers was concentrated and released, and I don't know how many people they would kill.

In Kaifeng City, a bloodbath was staged.

Li Zicheng rode his black barge horse and led the generals of the army to ride into Kaifeng City.

The generals who broke into the army were a little careless, and they fled as thieves for more than ten years, and they never imagined that one day they would be able to capture a big city like Kaifeng. Liu Zongmin, Hao Shaoqi and several other generals looked at the rich and prosperous buildings in Kaifeng City, revealing greedy eyes. If it hadn't been for King Chuang in front of them, they would have rushed into the palace with the soldiers and plundered.

The beautiful palace ladies of the vassal royal family, and the gold, silver, silk and silk of the gentry and lords, are heartwarming when they think about it.

Li Zicheng was riding a horse on Suzaku Street in Kaifeng City, when he suddenly stopped with his horse. He seemed to sigh with emotion, and looked back at the city he had conquered.

The strategist Li Yan rode on his horse and said anxiously to Li Zicheng: "King Chuang, now that Kaifeng is at the beginning, it is a good time for us to invite people to buy people's hearts. King Cheng should restrain his subordinates and appease the gentry and clans in the city. If the gentry of the world knew that we would not kill them all, it would be easy for the king to take the world. ”

Li Yan's words were a bit unpleasant, causing Liu Zongmin and others to snort coldly.

What did the hungry soldiers follow in the uprising of King Chuang? It's not just killing the gentry, killing the vassal king, snatching grain, grass, gold and silver to live a happy life. If you finally capture Kaifeng and don't plunder, who else will follow King Chuang in the future?

Li Zicheng did not answer Li Yan's words, in fact, Li Zicheng did not turn around to look at Li Yan at all. Obviously, the leader of this peasant army was very disdainful of Li Yan's proposal.

Only the strategist Song Xiance glanced at Li Yan thoughtfully.

Not long after, Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Henan, was escorted in front of Li Zicheng.

Chen Yongfu once shot Li Zicheng's left eye when Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng for the first time, turning this king into a one-eyed man. Chen Yongfu secretly said that he was captured by Li Zicheng today, and it was inevitable that there would be a Ling Chi.

Walking in front of Li Zicheng, Chen Yongfu refused to kneel down and scolded sharply: "God-damned thief!" It's useless to talk too much, if you want to kill, you have to come quickly! ”

Li Zicheng looked at Chen Yongfu with his only right eye and jumped off the black barge horse. He stepped forward slowly, untied the rope on Chen Yongfu with his own hands, and said: "If it weren't for General Chen Soldier sticking to Kaifeng City, Li Zicheng would have invaded the city a few years ago, and General Chen would be a good general in the world. ”

"The court is a mediocre and traitorous minister, why don't Mr. Chen abandon the secret and join the light, and build a great cause with a certain person."
