The wind was blowing, and Li Zicheng's face was full of depression, looking at the more than 10,000 troops who had escaped in front of him, and they had lost the spirit they had when they went out on the expedition! He didn't even fight the auxiliary soldiers who escorted the grain and grass to France, which made him feel a strong sense of frustration in his heart, frustration! Since the moment he started the army, he has not lost, on the contrary, he has lost countless times, compared to the worse such as Shang Luoshan was beaten to eighteen people, it is so tragic He is still full of confidence, because he sees the shortcomings of the Ming army, his own strengths, and the army in front of him is only desperate! said: "Are you sure it's not the elite of the Ming army secretly drawn from the north?" In front of him, the same doubts as him, or the same doubts as Hao Shaoqi and others? This army escorting grain and grass is also so strong?

"It's possible, otherwise how could the Ming army have this kind of combat effectiveness! The people who escort the grain and grass are all elite! Liu Zongmin said, he didn't believe that this Ming army was so strong! Li said: "Yes, after all, there are more than 30,000 people, and we are good at drawing from the hungry people, and many of them have practiced martial arts!" ”

"They're definitely the New Army, and I don't think the look of fear on their faces is fake!" Li Yan said, "And this part of the Ming army's fighting method is unheard of, it actually uses strong crossbows, javelin battles, and the javelins are very sophisticated, followed by sword and shield formations, no one in the known troops of the Ming Dynasty has used this way to fight!" ”

"Crossbow javelin?" A lot of people are weird, and the Ming army uses this kind of weapon? They use bird guns, or they are three-eyed pets, and there are few strong crossbows, not to mention more exaggerated javelins? This is simply unheard of, Liu Zongmin asked strangely, "Javelin?" Isn't this thing thrown a few when the Ming army used it to disrupt the rhythm of our army? "It's about the method used by the Ming army when it was in the Mandarin Duck Formation.

"Nope! They threw their javelins far and accurately! And it's incredibly powerful! Powerful! Fortunately, there were all hungry people in front of me at that time, otherwise I am afraid that I would not have been able to come back with so many brothers today! Li Yan said and glanced at the battlefield in front of him, and the chaotic crowd was full of the sound of crying father and mother.

The generals of the invading army all sighed and were shocked, Zhang Wu continued, "And each of them is wearing heavy armor, our army can't break through their defenses at all!" He said, "Each of them is wearing heavy armor of thousands of leaves, so our army can't beat their defenses at all!" He said.

This? All the generals are in trouble, and another army that makes people helpless has appeared, how can this be fought? Li Zicheng sighed leisurely, although the other Ming armies were strong, he could feel that the strength of this army was weakened after every battle, that is, this Shandong army was stronger and stronger every time, and every time he saw him, he would be much stronger than the last time! It's desperate. "It seems that my righteous army has not yet come out," he said, which meant that he was learning from Zhang Xianzhong to hibernate and accumulate strength.

All the generals of the Chuang army felt like this, but Li Yan hugged his fists and said: "King Chuang, this time our army still has a chance to win!" He coughed and said, "King Chuang, it's not early, and all the generals are tired!" "The crowd was puzzled, and it was obviously early.

Li Zicheng understood what he meant, waved his hand, and said: "Generals, go back to the camp to rest first, Li Yan, Liu Zongmin will stay with this king to take a look at this Kaifeng city defense!" He said this, and the whole group withdrew.

When everyone left, Li Yan glanced at Liu Zongmin and sighed, King Chuang still didn't understand what he meant, so he took out the letter and said: "This is a letter written by a general under the command of the Ming army He Renlong to the last general!" And he rode up.

Liu Zongmin looked at the letter with an inexplicable light and said in surprise: "Oh! I see! He laughed out loud and said, "But I didn't expect that some people in this Ming army would surrender to our righteous army!" He said oddly.

Li Zicheng was happy in his heart, if someone opened the city gate in the middle of the night, it didn't matter how strong your combat power was, it wasn't to become a turtle in the urn, and he was worried: "Will there be fraud?" He asked strangely! How can they be comfortable as a Ming army? How can this be unreasonable to surrender yourself! 、

"The child soldiers lurking in the army report! said that Qin Xiaochuan killed this man's brother because he robbed women and children! After that, Qin Xiaochuan's cavalry saw death and couldn't save it! Li Yan channeled: "These are the truth! There will be no fakes! And my rebels can take a gamble! ”

Li Zicheng nodded, with an inexplicable color in his eyes, if the traitor really opened the city gate, then Luoyang would go down, otherwise it would be possible to win this battle, he sighed and said: "Okay! However, this matter needs to be kept absolutely confidential, and no one is allowed to tell me! "He always felt that there might be spies on the other side in his military formation. Especially the mysterious Beidou organization.

The crowd nodded, and Li Zicheng said again, "The remaining soldiers Li Yan has handed over to you" This group of surviving soldiers are all elites, either Zhang Wu's command or the old thief, but Li Yan is worried, "What about General Zhang Wu?" ”

"Haha, he can be a lieutenant!" Li Zicheng said that he also saw at this moment that he could not only focus on and maneuver as in the past, otherwise when encountering this kind of Shandong army, you would be blind if you couldn't beat others no matter how maneuvered.

Li Yan nodded, hugged his fists gratefully and said, "Thank you King Chuang!" "He can use the remaining men and horses of this group of people as officers in total, and train their military formation and combat ability at one time. The people who broke into the army also slowly found that their mobile combat was completely useless for the Shandong army, what is the use of you running fast and not being able to beat others, you can rely on war horses to appear anywhere on the battlefield, but no matter where you appear, you can't beat it, especially this time after Li Zicheng completely changed his previous views after he couldn't even defeat the army of the other party escorting grain and grass.

"Don't take out your 5,000 firearms soldiers this time" Li Zicheng said, Li Yan's firearms soldiers have been expanded to 5,000 people, and this time he handed over the more than 10,000 old thieves to his command, hoping that his subordinates should not only have speed, but also combat effectiveness.

"This?" Li Yan said with a strange feeling: "General, what if this Kaifeng City doesn't come down?" "What if this night attack fails? If you don't let his firearms go up, won't they fight?

This? Li Zicheng with a kind of despair, although Li Zicheng in history also failed when he attacked Kaifeng, he annihilated a lot of the Ming army, and now he has lost the ability to annihilate the main force of the Ming army, is there any hope for this battle to continue?

"This? The Shandong army is here! Is there really any hope for our rebels to win? Li Zicheng sighed leisurely and looked at the sky outside the tent, he didn't understand why it was clear that the form was so good, why there was an extra Qin Xiaochuan and an extra Shandong army in the world.

"King Chuang, you!" Li Yan was shocked, he felt that Li Zicheng in front of him had been hit to the point that he was about to lose confidence, and said, "King Chuang, you forgot, it's not that my righteous army hasn't lost in the past ten years, that time is not a comeback, my righteous army can lose ten times, it doesn't matter if it's a hundred times, and the Ming army can't afford to lose once!" ”

"My righteous army can lose ten times and a hundred times!" An inexplicable light appeared in Li Zicheng's eyes, and he laughed out loud when he figured out the key to this. "The government oppresses the people, my righteous army can come back after the defeat, and can the Ming army come back! Haha"
