Chapter 340: Rush to Kaifeng, Shandong Iron Army

Outside Kaifeng in late February, there were already corpses and bones everywhere.

It has been more than ten days since Li Zicheng besieged Kaifeng City last time, and Liu Guoneng and others decided after deliberation that the governor Yamen would issue a document to impose martial law inside and outside Kaifeng, and an additional deputy general would be added to each direction to lead the troops to be stationed.

The city was guarded not only by the main barracks of the Shandong army, but also by the Ming soldiers of Kaifeng deputy general Chen Yongfu, Gao Qian and others.

Gao Qian and Chen Yongfu are now the deputy generals of Kaifeng City on the surface, leading their troops to garrison Kaifeng, but as early as a few months ago, they were already Liu Guoneng's subordinates, in other words, they were the regular generals of the Jinan Mansion of the Shandong Army.

In the last battle, Liu Guoneng led the soldiers to fight against the city, and Chen Yongfu also personally supervised the battle to protect the city wall.

The two of them had fully demonstrated their abilities different from ordinary generals in the last Kaifeng Guarding Battle, and were fully qualified to continue to defend Kaifeng as a member of the Shandong Army.

The soldiers at the west gate of the city are dressed in red clothes and red armor, holding refined spears, and stepping on cowhide and iron official boots, which look like the attire of the Shandong army's barracks.

These soldiers do not squint, do not dare to take a little careless, despite the last victory, but Kaifeng City is also heavily damaged, after the war statistics, Chen Yongfu, Gao Qian lost more than 2,000 people, even Liu Guoneng led the Shandong soldiers have suffered more than 1,000 casualties.

No one knows if Li Zicheng will come back, and no one knows whether he will die in battle or survive in the world, but they can all be sure of one thing, that is, no rogues must be allowed into the city.

In addition to the three regular barracks under Liu Guoneng's command that Wang Zheng transferred to stabilize the place, Chen Yongfu, Gao Qian and others' subordinates were all locals, and they were fighting to defend their hometown.

Moreover, the king of Zhou is different from the king of Xiang, in order to keep Kaifeng Zhenzhen scattered all his family wealth, he fought hard, and even the servants in the palace were sent out to reward the army, and even went to the city in person to stabilize the army's morale when the battle was at its most intense.

3,000 soldiers of the Shandong army defeated tens of thousands of intruders outside the city, and the Ming army in the city remembered that this army had attacked Liaodong in the early years, beheaded 3,000 Jiannu, and many people felt very excited and excited to fight side by side.

"Smoke and dust ahead, there is an enemy, quickly bang the gong!"

Suddenly, a Ming soldier on the wall of the south gate was the first to react, pointing ahead and shouting, and another soldier beside him took a closer look, then his eyes widened, and he quickly rang the gong vigorously.

As the sound of "Bangbang" sounded on the four city walls, the regular soldiers of the Shandong army and the soldiers defending the city climbed the city wall one after another under the leadership of their respective generals.

"King Zhou arrives at ——!"

With a loud shout, Liu Guoneng and the others looked back, but saw a middle-aged man in a golden robe walking over, with anxiety on his face, and the majesty of being a royal family, and the servants of the palace followed him with heavy big boxes.

When the chest was opened, it was all shiny gold.

King Zhou didn't have any nonsense, he directly drew his sword, pointed at the rogues who were swarming under the city, and said loudly:

"My soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, this is the fief given to this king by Emperor Taizu, but it is not the king's own home, it is the home of the soldiers and civilians of the whole city! Today, as long as you kill one enemy, you will be rewarded with a gold and fight for the Ming Dynasty! ”

"For Da Ming, for Da Ming!"

The king of Zhou hung on the golden city, and even personally inspired the morale, the morale of the Ming army was suddenly greatly boosted, and they raised the swords and guns in their hands and cheered loudly, but the army would not give them the opportunity to prepare.

"Push, push it down!"

Chen Yongfu's helmet was already stained with the blood of unknown people, most of which had been coagulated, but some had just flown up, but he didn't care about these at all, because this time the thieves were menacing, and there were more people than last time.

The three Ming soldiers used long logs to push down the ladders on the battlements, and before they had time to be happy, there were several more ladders placed on the battlements left and right, and when they looked down, those red-eyed rogues were climbing up step by step.

Suddenly, the intruder who bent his bow and arrows under the city found an opportunity, and the arrow cluster flew whistling, and the Ming soldier didn't have time to shrink his head, and the arrow cluster shot directly into his chest, but the most deadly one was the one on his neck.

"Old Seven!"

Seeing this, he fell headlong into the city, and another soldier began to shout and throw stones at the city in a frenzy.

From a distance, the army was like a swarm of ants, constantly pouring towards the city, some biting knives with their mouths, others climbing up with knives in one hand and the other, and a very fierce attack.

I don't know how long it took to fight, the sky was a little dark red, and the Ming army in the city defeated the two attacks of the Chuang army, but this third time was already the end of the strong crossbow, and there were some signs of loss at the head of the city, and a fierce white-knuckle battle had been launched.

Chen Yongfu led his troops to guard the south gate, and by now he has suffered heavy casualties.

From time to time, some people screamed and fell down from the city, some exhausted soldiers could not swing their knives, and simply jumped off the city with each other to die, the moat had long since dried up, and a team of strong rogues were holding the giant trees under the cover of the army and hitting the city gate again and again.

"Hold on, Kaifeng can't be lost, there is still my father and mother in the city, you must guard the city gate!"

Inside the city, a Ming soldier held a waist knife in his hand, looking at the crumbling city gate, although he was very worried in his heart, his eyes were extremely firm.

"Boom Boom"

The gunners on the city tower can't control so much, it doesn't matter what kind of water and reloading, as long as the cannon can still fire, they will put it at the rogue under the city.

"General, go to the back!"

Chen Yongfu's family stepped forward to protect him behind him, but was pushed away.

"Fart, Lao Tzu is the main general of the South Gate, how can you take a step back, fast, kill the enemy!"

As he spoke, Chen Yongfu rushed to the three rogues who had just climbed to the top of the city, and the eyes of the three rogues had just shown ecstasy, and they wanted to snatch the first merit, but a bright general rushed coldly.

Caught off guard, one of the rogues was slashed and fell into the pile of dead people under the city screaming, and the other two reacted slowly, and immediately rushed up with a ghost.

Seeing that their master was about to be in trouble, the family members did not hesitate and shouted to fight with each other, but these two rogues had just fallen, followed by countless people climbing the city wall, killing them inexhaustibly.

"General, the people of the Shandong Army, the people of the Shandong Army, why haven't they come yet, the brothers are almost finished!"

Hearing this, Chen Yongfu directly kicked this family, looked at the west side, and shouted:

"General Liu led the heroes of the Shandong Army to resist Li Guo at the West Gate, it is much more difficult than ours, don't drag them back!"

Hearing this, the family was a little stunned, it turned out to be a tiger Li Guo, but before he could say anything, he suddenly saw some chaos on the left side of the Liukou array.

"General, look, it looks like reinforcements have arrived!"

A Ming soldier pushed the rogue in front of him down the city, and shouted with a crying voice: "It was Inspector Ding (Ding Qirui) who brought someone to save us!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw that the Ming army that came to help was directly defeated, and the horse team of the invading army was chasing and beating them, and the hope that had just risen was instantly shattered, and many Ming soldiers leaned against the city wall in despair, throwing down the swords and guns full of blood in their hands.

"It's over, Inspector Ding is defeated, he can't hold it, Kaifeng is going to break the city"

"Bullshit, Kaifeng won't be attacked by the rogue who killed a thousand knives!!"

Chen Yongfu looked crazy, scolded those people without hesitation, followed by the family to continue to fight on the front line, and constantly killed the soldiers who boarded the city.

However, this effect is a drop in the bucket, the rogues under the city can't see the edge at a glance, I don't know how many there are, at this moment, even Chen Yongfu gradually felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

A banner with the word "king" was raised on the horizon first, and a general in iron armor rushed first, followed by thousands of ironclad cavalry.

I saw the general shake the steel knife in his hand and shouted:

"The cavalry battalion of the Shandong Army, with a certain Quanzhuo, break the formation and kill the enemy, and raise the prestige of our army!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
