Chapter 396: Luoyang City has arrived

The sudden attack was not only seen by Liu Yuliang, but also by Li Zicheng, who was originally watching the battle.

It wasn't until the gunfire and cannon sound in the distance that a spy stumbled back and reported: "King Chuang, the officers and soldiers are here, those officers and soldiers are here!" ”

Li Zicheng, who was angry after seeing the spies, asked: "Since there are officers and soldiers coming, why didn't you report earlier, and what about the others?" ”

"Dead, they're all dead!" The spy cried: "When our men and horses were searching and advancing, those officers and soldiers suddenly rushed out of the roadside, their firearms were so sharp, our brothers were killed and wounded, only the small ones escaped hiding in a tree hole, and then they ran back to report to you!" ”

"You"

Li Zicheng was so anxious and angry that he couldn't speak for a while, but at this time, the gunshots and war drums in front of him were getting louder and louder.

From the perspective of Li Zicheng and others, I saw that the east was accompanied by bursts of war drums, and a black line spread over the sky, from east to west, boundless. Luo Rucai and Sun Kewang, who were originally standing behind Li Zicheng, turned pale with a sway, and the two of them shouted at the same time: "It's not good, it must be that Pang Gang personally led the army, and he called!" ”

"Smack!" With a bang, Li Zicheng, who couldn't bear it, slapped Sun Kewang in the face, and a clear palm print instantly floated. Li Zicheng scolded sharply: "What are you panicking about, are there still few officers and soldiers in our righteous army?" When have you ever been afraid of them, even if Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting are overwhelmed by these soldiers, we have never been afraid, look at what you look like now, embarrassed, don't retreat quickly! ”

Sun Kewang, whose face was a little red and swollen, wanted to say something, but was pulled down by Luo Rucai on the side, Luo Rucai shook his head at Sun Kewang covertly, signaling him not to speak again, Sun Kewang bowed his head hatefully and walked to the back.

After scolding Sun Kewang, Li Zicheng's face was also very bad-looking, these Shandong troops came at an inopportune time, they didn't come early or late, but they came when the righteous army was attacking the city, and it happened to hit the seven inches of the righteous army, so it was really difficult for them to advance or retreat.

Li Zicheng, who had a high nose and deep eyes and a beard, stared at the Guancheng not far away, with a resolute, calm, and wise look in his eyes, and he resolutely said to Li Guo: "Brother Li, you have fought with Na Pang Gang before, and this time you will lead 50,000 horses to intercept those Qingzhou troops, and you must not let them enter Luoyang City." ”

"Yes!" Li Guo took the order and left.

Li Zicheng said to Liu Zongmin again, "Jiexuan, next you hurry up and attack the city, as long as you can capture Luoyang City, then Pang Gang can't help us even if he has three heads and six arms." ”

"Yes!"

Liu Zongmin gritted his teeth, jumped on his war horse and galloped forward, he was going to personally supervise the siege of the city.

Just when Li Zicheng was busy dispatching troops to intercept Pang Gang and seize the time to attack the city, Pang Gang also came to Luoyang City with a large team.

Pang Gang looked at the terrain outside Luoyang City from the clairvoyant mirror, his eyes crossed one broken village after another, and the trampled fields, and saw the foot of the mountain five or six miles away, all the way to the outside of Luoyang City, almost all covered with continuous military camp flags. Those camped tents, one after another, stretched from the east to the south and then to the west, although the north side could not be seen clearly, but there must have been a dense barracks there.

"With so many camps, there must be no less than 100,000 people, it seems that these rogues have developed really quickly, but I don't know where Li Zicheng's old camp is stationed, otherwise he can go straight to Huanglong." Pang Gang thought to himself.

Then they looked to the east, and all they saw was a desolate scene, and after several sweeps by these rogues, all the houses had been swept away by them, and all that remained was a fragment of ruins. All the villages in the suburbs of Luoyang were destroyed. Even the trees outside the city were all cut down, and only an empty loess was left as far as the eye could see, like a thousand miles of uninhabited wilderness, and then looking at the surrounding farmland, I saw that the fields were also a mess, the fields were full of trampled footprints, and occasionally a few grass seedlings, but Pang Gang saw them trampled and knew that he could not expect any harvest this year.

"These bastards!" Seeing the trampled suburbs, Pang Gang secretly hated in his heart, these rogues do not produce, do not work, only trample on the fruits of other people's labor, they are like a swarm of locusts, leaving only death, ruin and destruction wherever they pass, they will swarm to the next place after destroying one place, until everything is destroyed.

"Damn the rogue!" Pang Gang said hatefully: "We must not let these rogues continue to go eastward, if they are allowed to enter Shandong, our homes will all be destroyed." ”

All the generals nodded in unison, now Shandong, especially in the east, is becoming more and more prosperous, with many villages and towns, this is Pang Gang's hard work and achievements over the years, if these rogues who only know destruction pour in, with their virtue of grabbing slippers, they will only bring destruction wherever they pass.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Pang Gang couldn't help but think of the history textbooks he read when he was studying in later generations, and he still clearly remembered that he didn't know which "brick family called the beast" who compiled it, and even called Li Zicheng and these people a righteous peasant rebel army, and admired what they did.

At this moment, Pang Gang really wanted to pull those "brick family beasts" who sang praises for the rogues over to take a look, and see what these "peasant rebel army" they admired had destroyed the originally beautiful rivers and mountains.

Pang Gang, who became more and more resentful in his heart, turned back to Wang Zhi and said: "Wang Guerrilla, now that Heitie is opening the way for us, this official has ordered you to lead the people of the headquarters to follow up and open a passage for the whole army, can you do it?" ”

"The last general obeys!" Wang Zhi clenched his fists, his eyes showed excitement, and he hurried away.

Then Pang Gang said to Cheng Kai: "Cheng Guerrilla, you immediately lead your men and horses, escort Jie Rugong, Governor Li, the baggage battalion and the artillery battalion to follow behind the second battalion, you must ensure that they enter the city smoothly, if there is a mistake, the official is asking for you!" ”

Pang Gang's tone was unusually harsh, Cheng Kai felt a pang in his heart, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, the last general will ensure that the two adults, the baggage battalion and the artillery battalion enter the city safely, and if there is a mistake, the last will be willing to be dealt with by military law!" ”

Pang Gang nodded with satisfaction, "It's good if you know, go ahead!" ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Kai was about to clench his fists and leave, but stopped and asked, "My lord, what about you?" Will you not go in with the last general? ”

Pang Gang smiled, "What are you anxious about, when you go in, the official will naturally go in." ”

"What, you want the Empress!" Cheng Kai broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, "My lord, no, if you have any mistakes, the Qingzhou army will not be able to peel off the skin of the last general!" ”

Cheng Kai is right, the current Pang Gang is an optimus prime for the whole of Shandong, many people and military households have always believed that as long as there are huge people, everything in Shandong is no problem, and only huge people can make everyone live a good life, they know very well that only Pang Gang can take them to live a good life, and they don't dare to imagine what Shandong will become if there is no Pang Gang, so the Qingzhou army in Pingyue is very important to Pang Gang's safety, and now Pang Gang said that he wants to take people to the palace, This made Cheng Kai anxious.

As if seeing Cheng Kai's anxiety, Pang Gang chuckled: "Okay, don't worry, it's just the queen of the palace, there is no danger, besides, Ben Shuai still has thousands of relatives and soldiers, what danger can there be, you can rest assured!" ”

"This"

Cheng Kai was still a little hesitant, and Pang Gang shouted impatiently: "Okay, this is a military order, go quickly!" ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Kai gritted his teeth and immediately commanded the men and horses to escort the men and horses of the baggage battalion and the artillery battalion to rush forward with Wang Zhi's second battalion

At this time, Li Guo was mobilizing his soldiers and horses to resist the surging Ming army, but the Ming army was like a hard steel knife surging resolutely and quickly.

"Master Li, it's not good, the officers and soldiers attacked too fiercely, the brothers were killed and wounded, and the villain couldn't stop it!" A bloodied leader stumbled to Li Guo and reported bitterly.

Li Guo held the sword, stared at the head with bloodshot eyes, and shouted word by word: "Brothers, dead and wounded? Then how are you still alive, go and die! ”

After saying that, the sword in Li Guo's hand had already pierced into the chest of the leader, and the leader of the rogue fell to the ground with wide eyes.

At this time, the task of swords was still the cavalry led by Black Iron, and at this time, Black Iron led more than 2,000 cavalry to take on the task of tearing apart the defense line of the Liukou.

In order to tear through the human wall composed of dense hungry soldiers, Black Iron led the cavalry to continuously rush back and forth, at this time all they could see was dense human figures, one by one the hungry people in ragged clothes and simple weapons were rushing towards them frantically, and the yellow and thin faces were roaring like beasts, which was all that Black Iron could see at this time.

"Kill!"

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves rushed into the endless group of rogues with the breath of death, the saber in the hand of the black iron continued to slash left and right, and the saber made of stainless steel was like a sickle in the hand of death, constantly reaping life.

"Rush over, rush over, keep rushing!"

Black Iron fought and shouted hard, followed by more than 2,000 cavalry, and then behind him were 5,000 foot soldiers led by Wang Zhi, the Minnie rifles in their hands were constantly bombarding any people and objects that dared to approach, Black Iron and the cavalry relied on their horsepower to kill the hungry soldiers in front of them, and anyone who stood in front of them would be crushed by them mercilessly!

I don't know how long it took to rush and kill, and the black iron who had been killed all over in blood finally couldn't see the enemy in front of him anymore, and in front of him was a majestic city, Luoyang City had arrived
