Chapter 379: If You Don't Want to Die, You Have to Die

Chen Yongfu agreed with Wang Dou's opinion that the time was ripe for a decisive battle with the thieves, but he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can you inform King Fu and King Bingxian about Liu Jianyi's thieves?" ”

Wang Dou shook his head: "It's still not necessary, so as not to startle the snake and leak the news." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoI'll wait until we get rid of the thieves before we let me know. ”

Chen Yongfu knew about the affairs of the government, and many things could not be kept secret at all, and he often went to the officials to discuss things in the morning, and in the afternoon he was already in the streets. For the sake of insurance, it is still a temporary secret, first cut and then played. As soon as Liu Jianyi and others died, Luoyang Defense put himself and Wang Dou first, and Shangguan would not punish them in any way.

Both of them are decisive people, this matter was decided in this way, about the night attack and the lack of food, from the information provided by Wang Dou, Chen Yongfu knew that Jianshan was heavily guarded, and the grain was heavy, and everyone was very cautious and paid attention to it, and Li Zicheng was no exception, and sent heavy troops to defend it.

The leading generals were Li Zicheng's henchmen Tian Jianxiu and Liu Xiyao, who hoarded tens of thousands of troops, and there were many old battalion soldiers among them. Jianshan is dangerous, and the defense is tight, in the daytime, even the Shunxiang army is afraid that it will be difficult to capture, even if it is captured, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and the only way to use the night attack that the Shunxiang army is good at.

More importantly, in the dark of night, the drum and trumpet orders used by the army for communication at this time have lost their effect, and how to effectively command the operation is a great problem, and it is difficult for the most elite troops in the army to succeed, and it is not good to have more people.

In terms of nutritional supplements, sharp eyes, discipline and the organization of the army, there are few armies in the world that can compare with the Shunxiang army. Chen Yongfu has self-knowledge, even if he sends his family to go, he may not be able to do it, only relying on Wang Dou's subordinates.

Regarding the candidate for the night attack that night, Wang Dou first thought of Wen Fangliang, this merry guy looked a little cynical on the surface, but in fact, he was as careful as a hair, bold and calm, and was the most suitable person for success tonight. Coupled with Wen Daxing's night teams, the certainty of success is even greater.

As early as when Li Zicheng's troops and horses had not arrived in Luoyang, the Intelligence Department under Wang Dou had already conducted a detailed survey of the surrounding areas of Luoyang, especially several possible places to hoard grain. The three-dimensional topographic map of Jianshan is in the sand table in front of Wang Dou at this time, and the relevant troop layout on it is also plotted in detail on the sand table.

For this sand table, Chen Yongfu is amazed every time he sees it, he has decided to return to Kaifeng to imitate Wang Dou to train soldiers, and the sand table is of course one of the places to learn.

However, it is easier said than done, and after Chen Yongfu made this decision, he found that he was at a loss and had nowhere to start. If you think of it casually, it is an extremely complex and huge project, and if nothing else, the training of relevant detection personnel is not a simple and easy task.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Dou and Chen Yongfu gathered the generals of their army to discuss the matter, and until dusk, a few knights of the Shunxiang army rushed into the city from the north gate.

The defenders of the North Gate are not surprised, the four passes of Luoyang, now only the North Pass is still in the hands of the officers and soldiers, or General Wang Dou and Chen Yongfu, the deputy chief soldier guards, what knights they send into the city to contact, it is a normal thing.

There was nothing unusual outside the city, and the defenders opened the gates and let the knights in.

After these knights entered the city, they dispersed and went straight to the Shunxiang army generals Wu Zhengchun, Shen Shiqi, and Gao Xun Zhuren, and not long after, these knights ran out of the city again, and Shen Shiqi and Gao Xun also hurriedly came to Wu Zhengchun's camp......

Night is gradually falling, the ancient capital of Luoyang City for thousands of years slowly lively, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, every time in previous years, Luoyang City is the fire tree and silver flower never sleep. This year, everyone was unlucky, hundreds of thousands of thieves besieged the city, but fortunately they did not attack again in the past two days, which made everyone somewhat easier.

There are heavy sieges outside the city, this year's liveliness of Luoyang City can not be compared with previous years, dragon lantern dance, lantern appreciation, guessing lantern riddles and many other traditional programs are no more, but nine streets and eighteen lanes, many large households still hang some lanterns out.

Fuwangfu's Mansion, the government and the squires also organized some reward programs to send Lantern Festival dinners to Luoyang officers and soldiers and township warriors. On the top of the Wenfeng Pagoda in Luoyang, people are also organized to set off fireworks and have fun with the people. Bursts of bright fireworks also rise from time to time in the major households, which correspond with the bright moon in the night sky, and it looks so beautiful.

From time to time, there were bursts of laughter from men and women and children in the city, and even the officers and soldiers patrolling the streets also looked up at the fireworks in the night sky and laughed. This laughter brought a warm atmosphere to Luoyang City in the last days. ,

"Be happy, tonight you will know what it means to be happy and sad."

On the city wall of the East Gate, Liu Jianyi was covered in armor, and under the protection of several henchmen and generals, he just looked at the scenery in the city coldly. The lanterns and torches on the poles flickered in the cold wind, and his face was gloomy and uncertain.

The cold air was everywhere in the air, and some small snowflakes fell from time to time in the sky, the snowflakes were not large, but fine. The cold caused a thin layer of ice to form on the walls, and if it weren't for the fine sand sprinkled on the brick floor, it would have been slippery and difficult to walk.

The weather was so cold, and everyone around him was breathing, stomping their feet desperately, hoping to drive away the numbness of the whole body.

Liu Jianyi also felt that it was difficult to endure tonight, it seemed to be colder than before, and a few days ago, in such weather, he would have already shrunk into the bed. But for the sake of big things, for the sake of wealth in the future, no matter how unbearable it is, he has to survive tonight.

There are sparse figures on the city wall, and those who walk back and forth are all the family guards under Liu Jianyi.

As far as the eye can see, there are still one after another on the battlement walls of the Yi Yi Ye and the rejection of the horse, the long log of the Yi Yi Ye, which is full of sharp iron nails, and the same as the rejection of the horse, are all good remedies to prevent the enemy from stealing the city and attacking at night. Coupled with the night watchmen in the city, and the torches and lanterns every few steps, it is generally very difficult to raid and steal the city at night.

However, it is difficult to prevent thieves, and there are ghosts inside the city, and no matter how effective the means of protection are, it is useless.

A few days ago, the night patrol personnel of the East Gate City Wall were all rural warriors who assisted in guarding the city, and they changed shifts every hour and took turns to keep vigil. Tonight, Liu Jianyi made a few excuses to replace them all with his subordinates.

The township warriors who assisted at the east gate only said that General Liu was benevolent, and they were all overjoyed, and it happened that tonight was Shangyuan Night, so they could have a good holiday and relax.

Things went very smoothly, only in the evening there was a small episode, Shen Shiqi, the commander of the Shunxiang Army who assisted the East Gate, asked Liu Jianyi by the way, saying that his army was working hard to keep vigil alone, can you transfer some Shunxiang Army rotation?

At that time, Liu Jianyi's whole body snorted, cold sweat flowed down, and he said no, Yan Shunxiang army came from afar to help, the war was hard, he Liu saw it in his eyes, hurt in his heart, and was very unhappy. This kind of trivial matter of defending the city, don't work the world-famous Shunxiang army. They just have to keep their spirits up and tear them apart when the thieves attack the city.

Fortunately, Shen Shiqi didn't have much effect, so he let Liu Jianyi arrange it. Although the matter has passed, until now, Liu Jianyi is still cold.

Shen Shiqi's face full of horizontal flesh made him afraid at first sight, and a pair of bull's eyes were flashing with fierce light all the time. What's even more terrifying is that the nearly 1,000 Shunxiang soldiers under his command can be described as killing gods in the world. Shen Shiqi assisted Dongmen these days, and Liu Jianyi can be said to have a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Shunxiang Army.

Although he has more people than them, Liu Jianyi has always been full of jealousy about this army, and what he hopes most is that tonight's incident will not alarm the Shunxiang sergeants in the camp.

Knowing that in addition to these people, King Chuang must be very happy in his heart, and his own merits are even greater, and now they are also resting and sleeping in the camp, but if he is given 10,000 courage, he does not have the strength to rush into the camp and slash. The matter of the Shunxiang army in the city will be left to the righteous army entering the city to solve.

Time passed little by little, and in the cold wind, Liu Jianyi walked back and forth on the city wall, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the child's time. From time to time, he looked inside the city and outside the city, just like the fireworks that rose from time to time in the city, and the camp outside the city also had a few fireworks from time to time.

It seems that whether it is a soldier or a thief, they will celebrate the New Year.

Finally, the fireworks inside and outside the city slowly fell down, and the city of Luoyang slowly fell into silence.

Liu Jianyi rubbed his face that was about to freeze for a while, waved his hand, and led the generals in the camp into the city tower. Listening to the sound of the fight, I looked at the hourglass for a long time, and it was time, that is, eleven o'clock in the evening of the future life, and there was still half an hour in the ion hour.

Liu Jianyi instructed: "Let all the soldiers leave the barracks, and when the time comes, hang out the lanterns on the city tower and open the door to answer." ”

All the generals under his command whispered promises, all of them were panting, and they were glorious and rich, so they fought here.

……

After Liu Jianyi's order, more and more subordinates gathered outside the city gate, as well as the East Gate Tower.

In the moonlight, everyone was extremely nervous. Liu Jianyi calmed down, he looked at the south gate, and thought that Lao Luo's side should take action. Finally, he looked outside the city, from the east gate to the Dongguan area, and it seemed that there were many people, and the rebels should have been ambushed over there. ,

At this moment, suddenly Liu Jianyi heard the sound of thousands of people running neatly on the East Street. Liu Jianyi and his subordinates looked at each other: "What sound, why is it so loud?" ”

Suddenly, a frightened and shrill voice on the street shouted: "It's the Shunxiang Army"

Listening to the voice, it was the soldiers in his own camp that came out, and the generals around Liu Jianyi were in chaos, and Liu Jianyi also disappeared in an instant, and he muttered: "How could it be, how could it be leaked......"

"Bang", a handcuff sounded throughout the city, and a heroic voice with a Zhongzhou accent shouted: "King Fengfu, Lord Bingxian, General Dingguo's order, Liu Jianyi's wolf ambition, collusion with bandits, kill on the spot." Those who dare to resist will be killed."

The sound of popping beans sounded, and there was a terrible cry from the streets inside the East Gate, and countless officers and soldiers under Liu Jianyi rushed towards the head of the East Gate like headless flies. It seems that this is a signal, at the same time, in the south gate and north gate of Luoyang City, the sound of birds one after another is non-stop, and there is a faint cry and shouting of countless people from time to time.

The sound shook the whole city, and the entire Luoyang City seemed to be quiet for a while, and then the whole city muttered.

The horses' hooves were rolling, but some people kept running along the streets and alleys of Luoyang City and announced: "Liu Jianyi, Luo Tai, Tian Wenzong, Yang Hepai and other thieves colluded with the thieves, opened the door and surrendered the thieves, and gave official orders to kill and arrest the thieves." order, the whole city is immediately under martial law, and no stay in the streets and alleys, violators will be regarded as chaotic parties, and there will be no mercy for killing."

At this time, suddenly outside the east gate, south gate, and north gate of Luoyang City, there were torches, and one after another army formations appeared in front of them, and there were many people, I don't know how many tens of thousands of people. Presumably, the outside of the city heard the movement of Luoyang City and knew that it was a defeat that night, so he showed his figure.

The soldiers of their own battalion rushed up to the city like headless flies, and the teams of Shunxiang troops in armor under the city were killing on a large scale, bombarding with bird guns and charging in line with spears, how could Liu Jianyi's subordinates stop it? In the face of the prestige of the Shunxiang Army, coupled with the panic of the revelation of the matter, no one had the heart to resist, either die or flee, or kneel on the ground and beg desperately.

When Liu Jianyi was cold all over his body and lost his soul, he saw the fire outside the city and countless intruders appear, and a glimmer of hope floated in his heart. He roared: "Quick, quick, open the city gates and take the rebels into the city, or we will all die, we will all die"

The generals around Liu Jianyi were full of hope, they hugged Liu Jianyi, led the family, and desperately wanted to flee out of the city. Unexpectedly, there were several bursts of bird's guns under the city, and I don't know how many people fell in front of them, and the terrible wailing sound came, which immediately knocked out all their courage.

They crowded together, and finally fled back to the east gate tower, the Shunxiang army caught up with the city wall, the Liu Jianyi family on the city wall fled to the city tower like flowing water, many people crowded together, in the panic I don't know how many people were trampled down, and even some people were squeezed down from the inner wall alive.

More people knelt on the ground and begged, hoping that the Shunxiang army would spare their lives, after all, the order to surrender the thieves in Kaecheng was ordered by Shangguan, and they should be fine, right?

Liu Jianyi fled to the top floor of the city tower, listening to the sound of shouting and killing under the city tower getting closer and closer, meeting from both ends of the city wall, and finally countless footsteps rushed into the city tower, and his body trembled violently. Some of the generals and guards beside him were also colorless, and they felt that the end of the world was coming.

The roar of birds, the seeping sound of spears piercing into the body, and the crying and moaning of one's own family members before they died, sounded layer by layer from below. Finally, the sound of roaring footsteps sounded from the staircase below, and I don't know how many pairs of feet stepped on it.

At dusk, several high, pointed iron helmets poked out from the staircase, the helmets were divided into eight petals, and the tips of the helmets were shining red tassels. Underneath the eaves of the helmet were several murderous faces. These eight-petaled iron-helmeted sergeants, all wearing cotton armor, all held thick black bird guns in their hands, and the fire rope behind the bird guns had been lit.

Liu Jianyi and the others collectively screamed, but they saw more and more Shunxiang soldiers coming upstairs. They tiptoed over, and the black mouth was only aimed at Liu Jianyi and the others over there. Seeing them approaching step by step, Liu Jianyi and the others shrank into a pile, and their bodies trembled like chaff.

"Don't ...... the firebolt"

Liu Jianyi shouted in front of him, and then the thunderous sound of fire rang out, and in the firelight and whistle smoke, the general was beaten and staggered out. At the same time as him, there were many family members or officers in front of Liu Jianyi. ,

Then the spearmen of the Shunxiang Army, who were also wearing eight-petal iron helmets, and then were wearing iron armor, flashed forward. Looking at their stingers shining with cold light, Liu Jianyi's mind was blank, and he couldn't afford any resistance in his heart. Tears rolled down his face, and he just cried and begged: "Don't kill me, I don't want to die......"

The group of pikemen ignored it, and screamed a few times, and the people in front of Liu Jianyi were stabbed to death by them. Then these pikemen held bloody spears and continued to press forward towards Liu Jianyi. In the face of irresistible death, all the scheming and all the cruelty of the past have become a void.

Liu Jianyi muttered and begged: "Don't, don't kill me......"

Suddenly, he felt a chill in his abdomen, but it was a spear that broke through his armor and pierced deep into his body. He stared blankly at the half-thump in his lower abdomen, and the spearman drew his spear back, bringing out a rain of blood. Indescribable pain welled up in his heart, and Liu Jianyi cried out loudly.

He tried to run away, but he heard a popping sound, and several spears stabbed him in the body, and he rolled to the ground weakly, but the hope of survival still made him desperately crawl forward. The dense gunmen surrounded him, and he stabbed Liu Jianyi who was crawling on the floor.

A dozen spears pierced and pulled, pierced and pulled out, bringing out patches of blood mist and flesh.

Liu Jianyi's howl went from high to low, slowly lowered, and finally fell silent.

……

The civil strife in Luoyang City surprised many people, and it can be said that the whole city was shaken, and the Fuwang Mansion, the division of the feudal division, and the Yamen of the Luoyang Prefect were all alarmed.

Countless officials got up in their clothes and asked what happened, and King Fu hurriedly sent people to Wang Yinchang, the deputy envoy of the military garrison, Lu Weiqi, the former secretary of the military department, the prefect of Luoyang, and Wang Shaoyu, the chief soldier.

But where did Wang Yinchang and the others know what was going on, they only knew that there were people on the street who were shouting over and over again, saying that Liu Jianyi and others colluded with thieves and intended to open the city. Then the whole city shook the sky, and the sound of guns was loud, inexplicable and terrifying.

Wang Yinchang hurriedly contacted the prefect of Luoyang, Yang Shoubei, and some of the leaders of the corps to ask for details, but these people were also confused.

They gathered at the West Gate Tower, looking at the east gate, south gate, and north gate of Luoyang City, all of which were fighting fiercely, and they were all in turmoil. They were anxious to find out what was going on over there, so they sent people to investigate, but the people sent out were afraid of stray arrows and stray bullets, so they didn't dare to get too close, and the news they found out was unknown.

However, many people saw the tens of thousands of thieves holding torches outside the three gates, and Wu Zhengchun quickly came and escorted a group of Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai to guard them, and explained the matter clearly. Wang Yinchang and the others understood what was going on, and they couldn't help but be furious.

A good Liu Jianyi, Luo Tai, Tian Wenzong dog thief, dare to sacrifice the city, if it is not for the Shunxiang army to suppress it in time, this Luoyang City will fall. Looking at the tens of thousands of dense thieves outside the city, everyone was even more cold sweating.
