By the hour, the muzzle of the Hongyi cannon had been aimed at the city wall.

The matter of cleaning up the battlefield ended in a very short time, all of them were carried out by the captured rogues, there was not much food in the barracks, and most of the money and food were in Luoyang Fucheng, so it was not complicated to clean up the battlefield, as for the corpses in the barracks, they could only be temporarily gathered together, after all, the battle was not over.

Zheng Jinhong was worried that the Hongyi cannon on the city wall was fired, although it was a solid bullet, but the place where the cannonball passed, it would still cause a lot of casualties, he ordered the cavalry to dodge quickly, but the city wall was finally quiet, Liu Zeqing knew Zheng Jinhong's worries, he told Zheng Jinhong that the Hongyi cannon on the city wall is generally launched after the battle to attack the city begins, which can cause heavy casualties and frightening oppression.

Zheng Jinhong felt a little funny, following Zheng Xunrui for so many years, one thing he was clear about was that no matter what kind of battle it was, no matter what kind of firearms were used, it was the most necessary thing to achieve the final victory, as for when to use what kind of firearms, it was according to the needs of the battle, the military camp was only a little more than a mile away from the city wall, and if the Hongyi cannon was suddenly fired, the casualties would definitely be very large.

Zheng Jinhong was even more relieved that he had already seen the power of the improved Hongyi cannon, and he was afraid that the Hongyi cannon on the Luoyang city wall would not have a chance to fire.

The siege of the city is about to start, because of the improved Hongyi cannon and the newly invented Mauser gun, the siege of the battle has become different from before, first of all, the Hongyi cannon is aimed at the city wall to bombard, and then the soldiers of the Shenji battalion took advantage of the artillery bombardment, began to attack in the direction of the city wall, followed by the Shenji battalion soldiers are cavalry, the entire siege of the city, there are no foot soldiers, there is no ladder, whether it is the soldiers of the Shenji battalion. or cavalry, and they will charge through the city gates.

This kind of attack method is unheard of by Zheng Jinhong and others, but this is the way Zheng Xunrui decided to attack the city.

Zheng Xunrui in the temporary Chinese military tent. The expression was very relaxed, and Hong Xinyu beside him also had a smile on his face.

The battle that began at the beginning of Yin Shi was too smooth, and nearly 10,000 rogues were wiped out almost without having time to resist. Of course, this is worth rejoicing, in the short battle, the Hongyi cannon has begun to show its power, and it will play a more important role in the future, and the Mauser gun is also going to be powerful, I believe that when the Liukou has not yet understood, the soldiers of the Zheng family army have already attacked the city.

After entering the city, the power of the Mauser gun can be brought into full play.

Of course, Zheng Xunrui also made a request, if Li Yan and the red lady can be captured alive, it will be the best. However, the guns are ruthless, and it depends on whether the two of them are fatal.

Zheng Xunrui's thoughts have reached the arrangement after the occupation of Luoyang Mansion City, once the battle starts, Li Zicheng will not be indifferent, and will definitely lead the army to the rescue, of course, Li Zicheng must not know that it was the Zheng family army that killed Luoyang, Zheng Xunrui has decided to give Li Zicheng a hard blow, Li Zicheng's strength is too great, and he must be exterminated.

Zheng Xunrui did not decide to exterminate Li Zicheng. No matter how many troops or ammunition they carried, such an idea was unrealistic, but he wanted Li Zicheng to know that Zheng Jiajun had participated in the battle. It is believed that Li Zicheng, who has suffered a heavy blow, will either choose to make peace with Zhang Xianzhong or choose to leave Henan.

Seeing that the hour was up, Li Zicheng spoke to Hong Xinyu beside him.

"Order the artillery battalion to start attacking, when the Shenji battalion and the cavalry battalion will charge, let Zheng Jinhong decide for himself."

When Hong Xinyu walked out of the Chinese military tent. Zheng Xunrui also walked out, in order to facilitate the observation of the entire battle, the soldiers had urgently set up a wooden platform next to the Chinese military tent, walked on the wooden platform, and used monoculars to see the entire battle situation clearly.

Of course, Zheng Xunrui walked to the top of the wooden platform and raised the monocular in his hand, at this moment he suddenly thought that after returning to Huai'an, he asked Tang Ruowang and others to improve the telescope, but this monocular was still very inconvenient.

After Hong Xinyu quickly conveyed the order to the herald, he followed closely on the wooden platform, although the surroundings of the Chinese military tent were very safe, but as the commander of the pro-military camp, he still had to pay attention to the surrounding situation, Zheng Xunrui could not have any accidents, and he could not scratch the skin.

The rumbling cannon sounded, Zheng Xunrui held the monocular, motionless and looked in the direction of Luoyang City.

The cannonball landed accurately on the city wall, and the rogues guarding the city wall were blown into the air, and the most amazing thing was the Hongyi cannon on the city wall, and the heavy cannon chamber was actually blown away.

This time, Zheng Xunrui didn't ask for many shells to be fired.

Presumably, Long Huamin, Deng Yuhan and others must have found it very enjoyable.

Zheng Xunrui, who was watching, suddenly remembered something and spoke to Hong Xinyu beside him.

"Hong Xinyu, you go and tell Lord Long and Lord Deng, the cannonballs should be leisurely, don't blow up the walls of Luoyang Mansion City beyond recognition, after capturing Luoyang Mansion City, we will still garrison it."

Hong Xinyu looked at Zheng Xunrui and spoke with a red face.

"Young master, what does it mean to be leisurely, my subordinates don't understand."

Zheng Xunrui showed a wry smile, some words hundreds of years later, inadvertently always said.

"It's just to ask them to pay attention, and then there will be the attack of the Shenji Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion, so that the family doesn't have nothing to do."

On one side is the breezy Zheng Xunrui, and on the other side is the dumbfounded and dead-faced Li Yan.

At this time, Li Yan realized that it was probably his dream to defend Luoyang Mansion City.

If it weren't for the Red Lady's own soldiers pulling him away from the city wall, he would probably have gone to the sky at this time, just like those Hongyi cannons.

Li Yan had never seen such a fierce and powerful artillery, and the soldiers of the righteous army who stood on the city wall should have nothing alive, a thousand people, and disappeared in the fierce artillery fire.

Li Yan was actually injured, when he went down the city wall, a flying stone hit his right leg, blood left down the trouser tube, and the color of his shoes changed.

Li Yan has not given up, there are still 9,000 righteous soldiers in the city, although the artillery of the Zheng family army is powerful, but there is always a time to stop, the siege of the city still depends on the attack of the soldiers, at that time, the righteous soldiers who occupy the terrain advantage will definitely be able to give a fatal blow to the officers and soldiers.

The artillery fire finally stopped, Li Yan raised his feet and prepared to go up the city wall, when a sharp pain hit, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Quick, help me to the top of the city wall, the officers and soldiers are about to attack."

The sergeant, who was reluctant to go to the city wall, saw Li Yan take the lead towards the city wall, and could only follow behind with a hard head.

Fortunately, at this time, the sound of artillery did not appear.

"Li, Li Gongzi, the official army has begun to attack the city......"

The soldiers who were the first to go up the city wall ran in front of Li Yan, out of breath, and their faces changed.

"What to panic, order the sergeants, quickly go up the city wall to stop the attack of the officers and soldiers, and in addition, tell all the sergeants that when the cannon sounds, quickly evacuate the city wall and find a safe place to hide."

Li Yan's composure made the rebel sergeants who rushed to the city wall finally calm down.

The city wall was full of rubble, and in some places it was blown up with potholes, and many mutilated corpses were scattered among the rubble, but Li Yan couldn't care about these anymore.

The rebel sergeants had already rushed to the middle of the battlements of the city wall, ready to release arrows to prevent the officers and soldiers from attacking the city wall, and the best weapon at this time was the bow and arrow, and the arquebus did not have much effect at this time.

The crisp sound of gunfire rang out, and many of the rebel sergeants who rushed to the battlements of the city wall, ready to fire bows and arrows, fell down screaming, and some fell limply before they could even shout, and blood burst out in an instant.

Li Yan was a little confused, what is going on, what kind of weapon does the official army have, can make the righteous sergeant who is defending fall like this, the artillery in front has already made the righteous sergeant have fear in his heart, could it be that the official army has more powerful firearms, what he heard was the sound of gunfire, it was said that it was an arquebus, but where did the arquebus come from so powerful.

Li Yan struggled to go to the battlement to have a look, but was held back by the soldiers around him.

The Red Lady has a death order, if Li Yan has any accidents, these soldiers don't want to live, so they must protect Li Yan's safety.

Gunfire continued to appear, and more rebel sergeants fell, and no one dared to go to the battlement.

Some of the rebel sergeants could only shoot their bows and arrows from a distance through the battlements and watch the bows and arrows float out, which was tantamount to self-deception.

There was a heavy crashing sound at the city gate, and the fool also understood that the officers and soldiers did not break through from the city wall, but chose to attack from the city gate, and the rebel sergeants on the city wall could not defend, so the officers and soldiers could calmly break the city gate and then attack.

The soldiers helped Li Yan down the city wall, and there were five thousand righteous soldiers gathered by the city wall, most of the sergeants' faces changed, they almost knew that it was the Zheng family army that was besieging the city, and the righteous army was very clear by word of mouth, the Zheng family army was the nightmare of the righteous army, and the king of Chuang and the eight kings did not dare to touch it easily, and after many years, the righteous army has not dared to enter Shaanxi, which is the reason.

Li Yan hoarsely shouted at everyone.

"The officers and soldiers have hit the city gate, we must guard the city gate, so that the officers and soldiers cannot rush in......"

The personal soldiers beside Li Yan helped give orders.

The soldiers of the righteous army quickly lined up in formation, raised the bows and arrows in their hands, and aimed at the corridor of the city gate, as long as the officers and soldiers broke through the city wall, the bows and arrows in their hands would be launched, even if it was the Zheng family's army, it was only flesh and blood, and they would definitely not be able to resist the shooting of bows and arrows.
