Hearing the report from the guards, Zhu Qing hurriedly came out of the room. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Cold Thorn also quickly rushed to the hall.
"What's going on?" Zhu Qing asked.
"The army is coming!"
"Let's go! Check it out! Zhu Qing said to Leng Ting.
"Ning'er, bring the medicine box!" Leng Thorn didn't forget to tell him before going out.
Zhu Qing glanced back at her and nodded. Then he rushed to the castle tower.
At this point, it was dawn. After Liangshan announced that the government would not provide weapons, the people of Kaifeng rushed back to their homes to take hoes, shovels, flat poles and other agricultural tools as weapons and returned to the square to assemble, waiting for the orders of the officers and soldiers defending the city at any time.
Zhu Qing avoided the crowd and went straight to the city tower.
"What's the situation?" Zhu Qing said, taking the clairvoyance from the hands of Liangshan, the general defending the city, to observe the enemy's situation.
"Li Zicheng's vanguard troops have arrived at our position, and they are wandering in the first line of defense at the moment, and it is estimated that there are about 5,000 people, and the vanguard officer is General Zuo Huzi." Liangshan reported the basic situation to Zhu Qing.
It seems that Li Zicheng is really anxious to gnaw on the bone of Kaifeng. Not only the vanguard troops, but also the heavy grain and grass followed. Li Zicheng is in the army! Zhu Qing said, handing the clairvoyance to Liangshan.
When Liangshan heard this, he took it and was taken aback, "It didn't appear just now, why did it suddenly pop up?" ”
"It seems that Li Zicheng has not stopped in the past half a month, and he must have carried out many raid drills." Zhu Qing said that it is really not easy to mobilize 100,000 troops in just a few hours.
"I'm going to blow the trumpet!" The big war is imminent, and Liangshan's blood is boiling.
"Wait." Zhu Qing stopped him, "The army is menacing, but it suddenly lingers in front of the formation, I must have some concerns, secretly order, no one can take it lightly, everything is subject to the drums of war!" The reason why Li Zicheng attacked the city ahead of schedule was to surprise us. Let's plan and lure the enemy deeper. ”
"The last will understand." Immediately use the flag to inform the defense line to stand still and lead the enemy deeper.
At this time, Kaifeng City was silent, and from a distance, a few soldiers walking back and forth out of the city gate seemed to have no preparations for city defense.
Huzi put away his clairvoyance, smiled contemptuously, turned his horse's head, and hurried to the rear.
"Driving...... Sigh! Break the king! Huzi hit the horse and felt in front of Li Zicheng. He, the pioneer, did not encounter any obstacles along the way, allowing Li Zicheng's army to advance unhindered and quickly.
"What's the situation ahead?" Li Zicheng asked.
"As King Chuang expected, Kaifeng City seems to be still asleep." Huzi laughed.
"Soldiers are not tired of deceit, do not be careless, be careful of deception. Jinyiwei's signal has been sent, and it is impossible for Kaifeng City not to receive it. Li Zicheng is very cautious.
"The last general understands, so I told the vanguard to stop advancing, and I have come to report to King Chuang." Huzi replied.
"Any anomalies ahead?" Liu Zongmin asked.
"Except for two barbed wire, no other fortifications have been found." Huzi replied.
"Hmph, I want to do this trick again, I want to use barbed wire to block the king's iron horse!" Li Zicheng smiled contemptuously, he had suffered this loss last time. Apparently this time, he has a long memory.
"Bombardment?!" Huzi asked.
Li Zicheng waved his hand, "No! Since the enemy does not want us to find out, then we will do what they want, and we will not alarm them for the time being. Send a group of baggage soldiers up and cut the barbed wire with pliers to clear the obstacles! ”
"The last general understands!" Huzi received the order and returned to the vanguard.
"You, you, you, you two groups, bring pliers, each group is responsible for clearing a barbed wire fence and opening the way for the army!" Huzi selected twenty people from the baggage soldiers to clear Zhu Qing's two barbed wires.
"Order!"
The two groups moved forward to cut the barbed wire in sections, and then quickly removed the wire.
At this time, the Kaifeng defenders, who were hidden in the trenches, pillboxes and trees, were a little anxious, because their first line of defense was easily breached by the enemy, but not a single enemy was injured.
Everyone looked at the city gates, waiting for the war drums to beat.
"General! Do we just watch the enemy break through our defenses so easily? "The position of the insinuator is hidden but condescending, and the line of sight is the best, so the enemy's every move is watched. Seeing that the barbed wire fence was cut by the invading army, someone anxiously asked the insinuation against the captain.
Hei Xuan observed the situation coldly, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "The war drums don't sound, I think who dares to move?!" ”
Don't look at this sixteen-year-old boy, after putting on the mask, the cold mask almost covered his seemingly childish face, giving people an invisible deterrent. When the black man said this, no one dared to squeak, and they all quietly waited for the next battle.
"Report to the general, the barbed wire fence has also been cleared!" The wrecker team returned to report to Huzi.
Zhu Qing nodded, "Okay, return to the team!" Then he put a silver spear in front of him and angrily pointed at Kaifeng City!
"Iron Rider Pioneer, kill me!" The silver spear waved and shouted. Five thousand iron horsemen are like wild horses, riding horses and whips, shouting loudly, and killing towards Kaifeng City!
"General! The tiger is attacking! Liangshan said to Zhu Qing anxiously, and the people in the city naturally heard the shouting and killing, and they began to riot.
"Calm down, don't panic!" Zhu Qing responded. Holding clairvoyance, he continued to observe the movement ahead.
After the vanguard of Huzi advanced seven or eight zhang, "Boom, boom! I only heard a loud noise, and on the front position, the vanguard iron cavalry of Huzi suddenly turned on his back!
"Good!"
"Well done!"
At this time, it was the turn of the Kaifeng soldiers to be happy, and seeing that Huzi's five thousand soldiers and horses were trapped in a minefield, they seemed to understand Zhu Qing's intention to arrange the two barbed wires.
"Withdraw! Evacuate! After all, Huzi has been through a hundred battles, and after finding that the situation is not good, he immediately shouted loudly, turned his horse's head, and rushed out of the minefield, but not all of the iron horsemen who broke into the army were like the tigers, and the horses galloped uncontrollably, and they fell into the minefield and were frightened, and the war horses fled in panic, and the chaotic army would definitely die in the minefield!
Therefore, the tiger rushed and lost 3,000 soldiers and horses. The remaining 2,000 soldiers and horses were also traumatized to varying degrees, either soldiers or horses, and when the thunder stopped, there were less than 300 iron cavalry capable of fighting in the vanguard of Huzi, and the minefield in front was a wail. The Iron Cavalry is a waste!
"What's going on?!" Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong hurriedly rushed to the front of the team, and the scene in front of them made them stunned, but they were filled with righteous indignation.
"His grandmother's, the enemy used fire thunder!" Huzi gritted his teeth and said, a small wound had exploded on his forehead, and blood flowed down his cheek.
"I said you can't be careless! You don't listen! Now the leader of the brocade guard is amazing, right? Li Zicheng said angrily, the first rush of the war was so unsmooth, and the most elite iron cavalry troops were broken, Li Zicheng felt very uncomfortable.
"King Chuang, now is not the time to hold accountable. We have to find a way to break the enemy's fire and thunder array! Liu Zongmin dissuaded on the side.
"How to break? Do you rush or do I rush?! Li Zicheng was furious and angry.
"Lao Chuang! I, Zhang Laoxi, sent three hundred dead soldiers to help you break the formation! "Zhang Xianzhong wants to use the human body to clear mines!
When all the soldiers heard this, they were all taken aback, and they gradually retreated from Zhang Xianzhong's side, for fear that they would be named.
Everyone knows that people are used to break through the minefield, but there is no return! Who is not afraid of death?
"How? What do you usually talk to me Zhang Laoxi, but at the critical moment, I coaxed it?! Zhang Xianzhong watched his subordinates retreat, and waved his axe angrily.
Li Zicheng gradually came back to his senses, and he knew that his emotions would affect the entire army.
"King Daxi, calm your anger, your method still needs to be considered. Let's think of other ways. Li Zicheng knows that this is the quickest way to solve the problem, but using living people to clear mines is too exciting for the hearts of the soldiers, if they ignore the lives of the soldiers so much, who is willing to die for themselves?
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you say?" Zhang Xianzhong said helplessly.
Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin and other generals looked at each other.
"I'll solve the trouble I broke down by myself! The rest of the cavalry, if they can rush, they will rush with Lao Tzu! Huzi was obviously grieved and angry, and lost his mind.
"You come back to me!" Li Zicheng shouted, and strangled Huzi's horse, "This soldier and horse are injured like this, are you not enough?" Do you have to fight with no one left?! ”
At this moment, Liu Zongmin's eyes lit up, "There you have!" ”
Everyone stared at Liu Zongmin.
"Just use the war horse area to get rid of those fire mines!" Liu Zongmin said.
When Li Zicheng heard this, he seemed to understand, "You mean to use a horse to drag a heavy object through that minefield?!" ”
"Exactly! Pick those lightly injured horses and drag branches with rope wire into the minefield! Most of the fire mines can be eliminated! Liu Zongmin said.
"Quick! Do as the right general says! Li Zicheng ordered.
The army quickly organized a demining camp, all of which were war horses!
"Not good! The enemy is about to break the fire and thunder array! Zhu Qing saw the movement of the invading army from the clairvoyance, although he didn't know the specific action, but he could guess one or two from the row of war horses connected in parallel.
"Quick, let them prepare!" Zhu Qing stared at the enemy situation and said to Liangshan.
Liangshan thought that it was going to be officially played, and waved his hand at the drummer, waiting for Zhu Qing's order.
Zhu Qing saw Liangshan's actions from the afterglow and hurriedly pressed his hand down.
"What are you doing?!" Zhu Qing drank.
"Didn't the general ask everyone to prepare?!"
"Nonsense, I mean let you use the flag language. The enemy is ready to use the war horse to clear the mines, you use the flag to inform the insinuation team, once the enemy's war horse rushes out, shoot me, and you must not let the enemy break the fire and thunder array so easily! Zhu Qing said to Liangshan.
Only then did Liangshan understand, and nodded again and again, "The last general understands!" Then he waved the flag, and used the flag language to convey the command to shoot the war horse.
