Kaifeng, Henan, Tongxu County.

In front of Wang Zheng's eyes, the county town of Tongxu was already a dead silence, and there were many corpses lying outside the city, including officials and soldiers, but more of them were refugees in rags.

There was silence nearby, and according to the information I had received before, the camp had disappeared after intercepting the food and salary a few days ago, and no one would have thought that there was a hidden murder in this city.

Wang Zheng rode a horse to the city, quietly looked at the three words Tongxu County on the plaque, shouted "drive", and went to the city first, wanting to see what it was like inside.

Suddenly, one of the horsemen beside him shouted:

"Dashuai, there is an ambush!"

After saying this, Wang Zheng was also taken aback in his heart, but at this time, it was too late to react, and there were strange screams in the city that were still silent, and a thick man with countless soldiers suddenly appeared.

A row of archers appeared in the city in an instant, and a banner with the word "Chuang" appeared above Wang Zheng's head, and the leader of the camp in the city shouted:

"Put!"

Just listen to the sound of "whooshing" breaking the air, countless arrows are shooting towards Wang Zheng, Wang Zheng has no peerless martial arts, naturally he will not wait for the ability to wave knives and guns to block arrows, and he rolled off the horse in embarrassment for the first time and hid under the belly of the horse.

Although the horses were wearing armor, they couldn't resist such a close shot, and after being shot in the head, they fell down directly, revealing the Wang Zheng below.

"Protect the marshal!"

At this time, the soldiers arrived one after another, erected their shields, blocked Wang Zheng's side with their bodies, and slowly retreated from the city gate.

"Thief officers and soldiers, run fast!"

"Thief officers and soldiers, run fast! Yo~"

It seemed that this situation was expected by the other party, and the soldiers in the city raised their swords and guns one after another, but Wang Zheng was disgraced and disgraced under the escort of the soldiers.

Is it tolerable or unbearable, Wang Zheng was furious after encountering such an accident, in order to protect himself, a soldier had already been shot to death under the city, he had not suffered this loss for a long time.

"Lift!"

The Shandong army, which reacted, immediately lined up in formation, and more than 2,000 bird guns lined up neatly, ignited the fire rope, and flat-ended bird guns, just waiting for the battalion officer Ren Hu to give an order, it was a round of salvo.

Ren Hu was about to give a fierce order, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, and a sentry horse ran back and shouted:

"Smoke and dust in the rear, there is an enemy!"

The land of the plains has always been a dead horse running on the mountain, watching the smoke and dust rise, he naturally knows that the other party has people and horses marching, and Wang Zheng has a rough glance, and the number of the other party is afraid that there are a lot.

As for why you can know at once that it is the enemy, because you can also know with your ass that at present, in the area of Kaifeng Mansion in Henan, except for the Shandong army that entered the attack, the Ming official army is scattered, where will there be such a big momentum.

"General, what should I do, to fight or not to fight!?" The officer on the side shouted at the top of his voice.

At this time, they were about to be attacked by the other party, but the Shandong army didn't know how many people they came, what was the situation in the city, there were so many family backgrounds, and there was obviously no good fruit to eat if they went to fight recklessly.

However, they can't give the order to flee, first, it will have an impact on the morale of the army, and second, the Shandong army has already formed a formation, and if it retreats, the action is too big, but it may be defeated by the other side.

Thinking of this, Wang Zheng shouted fiercely:

"Array!"

The commander's military order has been issued, and the battalion officers of each battalion immediately found the backbone, and the military order was worn endlessly, followed by Ren Huxia shouting:

"What about the cannon, push all those Franc machines up, and the Tiger Dun cannon, hit it hard!"

The Shandong army calmly battled under the city in this way, and Hao Shaoqi in the city was a little surprised, and he didn't run, which is not in line with the common sense of dog officers and soldiers, but what do you want to do so much.

This time, we have dispatched tens of thousands of people to break into the camp, how can we defeat this so-called strong army, and then see who else in Henan dares to go against the camp.

Naturally, the camp could not let the Shandong army be safely arranged under the city, and after a period of careful rope action, hundreds of archers came up in the city, and those with bows and arrows were about to shoot down.

But even these hundreds of archers are still pieced together, and there are really not many characters who can skillfully open bows and arrows now, and it is not easy to make them together even with such a large base of breaking into the camp.

Seeing this, the soldiers under the city reflexed to raise their shields, Wang Zheng waved his backhand and shouted:

"Ren Hu, the Hudun cannon can't hit the back, they are all transferred to the city, and they can't raise their heads to bombard, and the city gate, it's best to smash it!"

The gunners agreed with a bang, and Ren Hu commanded the auxiliaries to set up hundreds of Hudun cannons and small copper and iron cannons, these cannons are like the 92 infantry guns of the anti-Japanese drama, which can't be hit from a distance, but the power at close range is still very objective.

Hao Shaoqi naturally saw these cannons, but he didn't look afraid, he followed Li Zicheng to the Central Plains for many years, and he encountered Daming's firearms not less, and he had already found that most of these things were just sounds, and the power was not much.

"Thief officers and soldiers, run fast, Hades will come to see you in the belly..."

The soldiers in the city actually sang a ballad, obviously not afraid of a series of actions of the Shandong army, and they were very relaxed.

"Put!"

Ren Hu is also full of anger, Xin Dao and Dashuai have been traveling south and north for so many years, and they have never met such arrogant rogues, so I really want to give them a little color.

In fact, Ren Hu's thoughts are also the thoughts in the hearts of most soldiers.

The soldiers of the Shandong Army are all battle-hardened, and they can only be selected after going through layers of examinations, and they are so insulted by the rogues that a man will hold his breath in his heart.

"Boom-"

The artillery fire continued, and the smoke and dust billowed out.

In the loud noise, the ground shook and hundreds of artillery pieces were fired together, and the soldiers who broke into the camp saw this kind of formation for the first time, and they actually had a sense of shaking on the ship.

At the head of the city, a battlement was hit squarely, and in an instant, the rubble flew sideways, and the three archers hiding behind screamed miserably, and were directly hit by the huge force to fly to the city, and the life and death were unknown.

On the horizon, a banner with the word "Chuang" swayed and rose, and under it were countless soldiers dressed in white, holding big knives, and embroidered with the word "Chuang" on their chests.

In front of these soldiers, a man from northern Shaanxi wearing a felt hat and a red cloak was surrounded by a team of horses, surrounded by two well-dressed scribes, and the rest were strong men with tigers on their backs.

This person is Li Zicheng, who established Dashun and destroyed the Ming Dynasty four years later, but at this time, Li Zicheng looked at Wang Zheng who was riding a horse from a distance, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I don't know when the camp has begun to gradually move towards standardization, although these soldiers are not all wearing armor, but they are also full of momentum.

In fact, since Chuang Ying followed Li Zicheng into Henan, his goal from west to east has always been the squires from all over the country, and he has no intention of occupying the city.

At first, there was some apprehension about breaking into the camp, but with the continuous victories and almost all the Ming troops fled when they heard the news, their confidence became stronger and stronger, the money was more and more, and the refugees who came here were also uninterrupted.

Since Yang Sichang mobilized the main force of the northwest official army to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong's plan to go bankrupt, the Ming army has turned its advantage into a disadvantage, and the main force was dragged in Huguang by Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, and Zhang Tianlin, and it could not catch up and return in a short time.

And the rest of the elite, such as the Qin army, the white pole soldiers, etc., have been transferred to the Shanhaiguan Jinzhou front line to garrison, and the Qing army has not stopped recently.

In other words, none of the Ming soldiers and horses left in Henan could stop Li Zicheng's pace, and they broke into the camp and fought successively until the Shandong army was ordered to help suppress it.

In the eyes of these camp-breaking soldiers, the so-called Shandong Army, like the rest of the Ming army, is a papier-mâché tiger, which can be broken when poked.
