Looking at the tall and majestic city wall, Hei Tie, who originally felt that he was full of strength, suddenly felt as if the strength of his whole body had been used up, and a sour feeling came from all over his body, and then he realized that his physical strength was a little exhausted.

Hei Tie raised his head, looked up at the tall city wall, and shouted loudly: "Listen to the people above, we are under the command of Pang Gang, the right governor of Nanjing, the general of Shandong, and the general of Dingguo, and we are here to relieve the siege of Luoyang, and we must be ready to open the city gate to welcome our army into the city!" ”

Hei Tie's voice was very loud, and Liu Yuliang and Wang Yinchang, who had been on the city wall, naturally heard it. The people on the city wall saw the situation when they were charging into battle, and naturally knew that it was reinforcements coming, Liu Yuliang cowered and poked his head out of the battlement, and asked with surprise: "Listen below, is Pang Gang also here in person?" ”

When Hei Tie heard this, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, and thought: We have worked hard to relieve you from the siege, even if you are not grateful, you dare to call us by the name of our adults, is that what you can call?

Hei Tie was not happy in his heart, and the words he said were naturally not very good, "Nonsense, out of my family, who else will come all the way to Luoyang to save you, and the people upstairs don't hurry up to open the city gate to welcome the army into the city!" ”

"You!" When Liu Yuliang heard this, he was angry, thinking that he was a dignified scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, the governor of Henan, and he could be regarded as a first-class scholar in the current dynasty, and the person below was only a five-grade thousand households, and he dared to speak to him like this, if he was in the capital, he would have let him go home and eat himself. But now it's different, after coming to Luoyang for so long, he has also learned one thing, that is, in this year, the world is big, and the person with a knife is the biggest.

Liu Yuliang: "Okay, you wait, let's open the city gate for you!" ”

Black Iron urged: "Okay, you guys hurry up, hey, wait, we will open the city gate again, and we will rush to kill again." ”

It turned out that when Hei Tie inadvertently looked back, he found that he and his group were rushing too fast, and the foot soldiers who were originally following closely behind had not yet followed, and the passage that had just been opened was in danger of being re-blocked by the rogue, Hei Tie was anxious, and said loudly to the cavalry behind him: "The brothers in the back haven't come up yet, we still have to rush back, do the brothers have confidence?" ”

At this time, the cavalry behind Hei Tie also lost more than 200 horsemen after fighting all the way, and the rest of the people were also very tired, but after hearing Hei Tie's words, they still shouted: "Kill the thieves and robbers, and die without giving up!" ”

Hei Tie laughed and said, "Okay, brothers, let's rush back again and kill him seven in and seven out!" With that, Heitie held up the saber that had been cut with a lot of gaps, flicked the horse, and rushed backwards again.

The rumbling of horses' hooves resounded on the ground again, and the two thousand cavalry crushed towards the east like a red torrent

In front of the cavalry, Liu Zongmin was leading tens of thousands of foot soldiers to hurry over, and he couldn't stop scolding Li Guo, who was in charge of interception.

"Li Guo, this stupid person, let him stop the officers and soldiers, but he is so useless, he actually let the officers and soldiers in, causing Lao Tzu to fall short, not to mention, and now he has to wipe his ass."

At this moment, Liu Zongmin is indeed a little angry, he is commanding the Liukou to attack Luoyang, and the fight is coming, suddenly someone came to report that the reinforcements of the army suddenly came, and the men and horses led by Li Guo have been scattered, and now their brigade is pouring towards the east gate, and Liu Zongmin, who received the report, had to urgently lead more than 10,000 people and horses to rush over to participate in the interception, trying to intercept the reinforcements outside the city, so they ran into the cavalry of Black Iron.

"Kill!"

Black Iron roared and flicked his saber, and a huge head flew into the air, and when the head did not hit the ground, Black Iron had already passed it and rushed towards another rogue, the sharp knife behind him still closely following him, killing the enemies who dared to stand in front of them.

The performance of the cavalry of Black Iron was so outstanding, it naturally attracted the attention of people with a heart, and on the high ground three or four miles away from the east gate, Li Zicheng, who led the generals to watch the battle, looked at the cavalry that kept rushing back and forth in the distance, and his face was very ugly.

Because the cavalry had obviously rushed under the city walls, they could already take advantage of the chaos to enter the city, and the rogues who couldn't react for a while didn't have the energy to pay attention to them, they could completely swagger into the city. But the truth was obviously beyond everyone's expectations, and the cavalry actually led his leader back again.

Looking at the knight in the lead, Li Zicheng couldn't help but "hum", and said coldly: "These people really think that they are Zhao Yun on the Changban slope, do they want to have seven in and seven out in my righteous army?" ”

"King Chuang, how about you let me lead another team of men and horses to intercept it?" Hao Shaoqi on the side was eager to try.

"No, there are enough people there now, and there is no need to send more people." Li Zicheng sighed lightly and shook his head, looking back at Sun Kewang and Luo Rucai, but his eyes were a little guilty: "I didn't expect the combat power of this Ming army to be so amazing, but I hope that you and Rucai will be defeated unjustly!" ”

Before seeing the combat strength of the Qingzhou Army with his own eyes, if Li Zicheng still had a half-believing attitude towards Sun Kewang and Luo Rucai's words, then now Li Zicheng has completely believed it. Shicai Li Guo led 50,000 horses to intercept it, but he was still forced to rush outside the east gate by the opponent's cavalry.

After Li Zicheng finished speaking, he said to a herald on the side: "You immediately go and tell General Sentry Liu, let him stop the siege of the city, go all out to deal with the Ming army, and never let them enter the city!" ”

Li Zicheng knew very well that if this Ming army with amazing combat power entered Luoyang, he didn't know how much it would cost if he wanted to capture Luoyang, and now the only way to resolve this crisis was to annihilate this reinforcement army from afar under the city wall.

After receiving Li Zicheng's order, the rogues were even more energetic to press towards the east gate, and the first ** rogue swarmed like a chicken blood, which also made the black iron responsible for opening the road under great pressure, at this time they had been surrounded by countless rogues, and the cavalry that lost their speed did not have much advantage against the foot soldiers, and soon their losses began to increase sharply.

A Bai Zong, who was closely behind Hei Tie, said loudly beside Hei Tie: "My lord, there are too many thieves, our losses are too great, and if we continue like this, the brothers will soon fight out!" ”

In the continuous fighting, the losses of the cavalry led by Hei Tie also increased, and the original cavalry of more than 2,000 people has now lost more than 600, and almost everyone of the rest is wounded.

Hei Tie, who had already killed the red-eyed, shouted in a hoarse voice: "Even if you fight hard, you have to rush, otherwise my army will be trapped inside, and then we will all be finished, stop talking nonsense, and continue to kill!" ”

Just as Hei Tie was leading the cavalry to continue fighting, there was finally a roar from the front, and it turned out that the foot soldiers behind had finally followed.

"Fire!"

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Fire!"

"Bang Bang Bang"

Bursts of muffled rifle sounds came from not far away, the rogues who had been attacking them kept falling, and the familiar white smoke came with the breeze, and for the first time, Hei Tie felt that the smell of gunpowder smoke that he hated in Ping Yu was so charming.

"Brothers, reinforcements are coming, hurry up and kill!"

The energetic cavalry waved their sabers vigorously, and then went to the east gate to kill, with the joint efforts of the cavalry and foot soldiers, the Qingzhou army finally fought outside the east gate. After arriving at the east gate, 5,000 foot soldiers protected the cavalry in the middle, divided into two rows, and constantly bombarded the rogues who dared to approach. Behind them, Cheng Kai was escorting the baggage battalion and artillery battalion to arrive.

At this time, there was no need for them to call the door, Liu Yuliang, who was at the head of the city, hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened to welcome the reinforcements into the city, and the first to enter the city were Lu Weiqi and Li Xianfeng and their guards, followed by the baggage and artillery battalions.

Seeing that the reinforcements of the Ming army had begun to enter the city, Li Zicheng, who was watching the battle from a distance, ordered with a calm face, "What are Li Guo and Liu Zongmin doing to eat, tens of thousands of troops can't even stop more than 10,000 men and horses, go and tell them that if the Ming army enters the city, I can't spare them." ”

I can't help Li Zicheng not be angry, more than 100,000 troops actually let the other party's reinforcements break into their own army like this, and then swaggered into the other party's city, which is the first time in Li Zicheng's military career in seven or eight years, which makes Li Zicheng, who has always thought that he knows the Ming army very well, very shocked.

"The Ming army must not be allowed to enter the city so easily!" This is not only Li Zicheng's idea, but also Liu Zongmin and Li Guo's thoughts, who drove the hungry people to rush towards the east gate one after another.

At this time, Pang Gang also took his own personal soldiers to break off, and he divided more than a thousand personal soldiers into three waves, forming a small three-fold wave formation, and put guns in turns, knocking down any enemy who tried to approach to the ground.

At this time, the Qingzhou army formed a long queue, although there were countless enemies swarming outside the queue, but the people in the queue were still lining up in an orderly manner to enter the city without the slightest sign of panic.

Outside the east gate, Liu Zongmin and Li Guo were constantly driving the hungry people to attack forward, as for the size of the casualties, they didn't care, the most important thing for them was the hungry people, as long as a city was captured, the hungry people would be as many as they wanted.

Slowly, in front of the Qingzhou Army, the corpses of the rogues gradually increased, layer upon layer of corpses stacked in front of the formation, densely packed I don't know how many, and the rogues were also numb, they just rushed forward blindly under the drive of their respective leaders, and then they were killed in batches.

Finally, half an hour later, the last sergeant of the reinforcements from Qingzhou also entered the city, and the east gate of Luoyang City creaked shut again.
