Liu Yong still remembers his first battle experience, when he was recruited into the army for only half a month, and he participated in the first actual battle, and he still remembers that battle clearly.

It was a battle in eastern Sichuan.

That battle was an ambush with more fights and fewer ambushes, and it was easy to win. But when the guns rang out and the flesh and blood of the rogue who was caught off guard flew in front of him, he still vomited.

couldn't help it at all, all the bile he vomited came out, and he didn't let go of a single shot during the whole battle. After the war, his boss was not polite to him, and asked them, the recruits, to clean up the battlefield and carry the corpses. In the end, they were allowed to practice with these bandits, and everyone had to cut down their corpses.

When the knife slashed at the corpse's neck, he vomited again.

But he hasn't thrown up since. There were several vicious battles in eastern Sichuan, and the siege and killing of Zhang Xianzhong was the most dangerous battle after he joined the army. That time, he followed the emperor's side, desperately rushing to kill, and was wounded several times.

Since that fierce battle, Liu Yong has not been afraid of death since he started fighting, and he is nicknamed Liu Maniac.

Recalling the past, Liu Yongsheng sighed. If it weren't for the fact that he was always too crazy in battle, he would not have been injured again and again, and in the end, he even took off one of his waists and had to retire from the army.

"Don't think about those who don't have it, carry the ammunition well, our task is to push this thirty-two-pounder gun and his ammunition cart under Luoyang City. This is a big guy of thousands of pounds, each door is worth a lot, and there is no one to stop on the battlefield, so we have to send it all the way to the battlefield in good condition. ”

"Yes, Captain."

Liu Yong and the others escorted a long cannon with a heavy artillery target, which can be regarded as a sharp weapon for attacking fortifications. However, this cannon is too big and heavy, and one cannon has to be pulled by eight horses, and someone has to follow, and when it encounters uneven roads, it has to be bulldozed and pushed and pulled.

The commander of this cannon looked at Liu Yong with interest.

"Brother. Looking at your movements, there is a momentum in the army, whether you have worked in the army before. ”

Liu Yong took out a pack of Yellow Crane Tower, took a cigarette and handed it to the gunner, and took one himself.

The gun commander took it with a smile, took the box of matches and began to draw.

Lighting a cigarette, Liu Yong took a puff.

"Sir's eyes are so sharp, I did do it in the army before. Chongzhen joined the army in the twelfth year and participated in the Battle of Eastern Sichuan, and later also participated in the Battle of Jiangbei. as well as the Battle of the Southeast Sea, the Battle of Liaodong, and finally the Battle of Yanbei was wounded and discharged. ”

When the artillery commander heard this, he had actually participated in so many battles, and it was almost all the battles of the Chu army. He couldn't help but be in awe.

The gunner raised his hand and saluted.

Liu Yong subconsciously returned a military salute, and immediately came back to his senses that he had been discharged from the army. He smiled a little disappointedly, "The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, he has already retired from the army." ”

"You're a veteran of the army. When this gift. ”

But he said a little strangely, "You seem to be the captain of the militia now?" ”

Liu Yong wears a militia uniform, and a piece of cloth is sewn on his chest, and he also has a militia armband mark on his arm. It clearly indicates the rank of his militia captain.

A veteran of the Chu army like Liu Yong, who has fought so many battles, why is he just a militia captain, he doesn't quite understand.

Liu Yong smiled. "It's a long story, when I surrounded the Tartars under the city of Shenyang in Liaodong, I made some mistakes."

"Oh!" The gun commander immediately let out a meaningful prolonged tone. I look like I understand. "Brother, tell me brother, are you the Tartar woman, or?"

Liu Yong took a puff of his cigarette and let the smoke linger in front of him.

When he besieged Shenyang, he was already a company commander at that time, and once he took the whole company on a mission, and when he passed by a Jurchen Zhuangzi, he was attacked by the Jurchens, and a brother was killed. That brother was a very good person with him, who had fought side by side for many years, and when he was a platoon leader, he was a squad leader. When he was the captain, he was the platoon commander, he was the company commander, he was his captain.

He once blocked the sword and the sword for Liu Yong, and this time he was killed, and he also died for him to block the arrow.

Angry, Liu Yong killed the Jurchens who attacked secretly, and also killed the Zhuangzi, and in a fit of rage, he led people to slaughter nearly 100 people in the Zhuangzi, leaving no men, women, and children.

Because of this, the military judge was going to shoot him.

In the end, Liu Jun issued a special order to pardon him, but he was pushed to the end and re-infanned as a line infantryman. Since then, he has fought many times, made meritorious contributions, and was promoted to captain step by step.

"I was too impulsive at the time, but now I regret it, just kill those attackers, there is no need to kill women and children."

"Gentlemen." The gun commander gave a thumbs up. Compared with his military qualifications, he thinks he is inferior. He joined the army in Guangdong after Liu Jun's southeast patrol, because it is the technical arm of artillery, so he was promoted to the rank of relatively fast, and now he is the commander of this 32-pound gun, and he has 38 gunners of this cannon alone, in addition to escort infantry, etc., and a gun crew has nearly 100 people.

"If you hadn't been injured and discharged from the army, it is estimated that with your bloody nature and bravery, if you hadn't made a mistake at the beginning, you would definitely be the battalion commander by now."

The two smoked a cigarette, and the shells were loaded.

The artillery commander looked at his subordinates and Liu Yong's subordinates, and shook his head helplessly, "Hey, it is estimated that when we take this big guy to Luoyang, this battle will be over." ”

Liu Yong nodded, the guns of the heavy artillery targets are all cannons of more than 1,000 catties or even thousands of catties.

They certainly have the most firepower, but they are also less mobile.

He also knew a little about this attack, and he heard that Luoyang would have an internal response. Therefore, this time it will not be an offensive with a position, it will definitely be a surprise attack.

Since it was a surprise attack, it must be a light attack, and the emphasis is on a swiftness.

The heavy artillery unit was the last to set off and was certainly the last to arrive.

"I regret staying in the heavy artillery battalion now, every time the front troops have already won, we are still halfway there. Damn, I just carry a cannon every day, and I work very hard, but I can't even drink a sip of soup at all. It's better to be a mounted gunner or a mountain howitzer in the forward troops, damn it, then you can still have a chance to fight. ”

Liu Yong smiled and comforted the fat artillery commander, "There will still be battles in the future, Luoyang will take it, and Xi'an will take it." When the Central Plains is pacified, there will be Liaoyang and Shenyang. ”

Night.

Dark clouds and moons.

Zhang Huangyan led his light cavalry battalion to Luoyang City.

"Sir. The south gate of Luoyang will be held up on the third watch tonight, open the city gate, and the inside and outside should be closed. ”

"Very good, we are the vanguard in this battle, and the task given to us from above is very clear, wait for the city gate to be opened, control the city gate as soon as possible, and receive the troops into the city."

Luoyang City.

Li Yan was reporting to Li Zicheng about the sergeant's riot.

"Commander, the soldiers are becoming more and more controlled, continue like this. At that time, the entire Luoyang City will be robbed. We have to control it, otherwise the morale of the army will be scattered, and we will not be able to evacuate by then. ”

Li Zicheng nodded, turned his head to Liu Zongmin and said, "These rabbit cubs are almost enough, you personally take people to the street to announce military discipline, and let the soldiers of each battalion return to the camp." ”

Liu Zongmin got up, "Got it." Anyway, the robbery has been enough, and the trouble has been made, and now the brothers should be satisfied, and those big families in Luoyang City almost understand it. I'm going to give the order to collect the troops. ”

Wait for Li Yan and Li Yan to leave. Li Zicheng recruited Niu Jinxing again.

"Strategist, how much gold, silver, grain and grass have been raised?"

Niu Jinxing smiled.

"Luoyang is worthy of the center of the world, the ancient capital of several dynasties. At present, the value of gold and silver and other things obtained has exceeded 50 million taels of silver, and if it were not for the farms, houses, shops, and shops, these would be immovable properties. This harvest can be increased quite a bit. ”

"So much?" Li Zicheng was surprised.

Fifty million taels, not fifty million yuan.

The silver dollar of the Great Han, that is one tael of silver for two silver dollars. fifty million taels of silver. That's 100,000,000,000 silver dollars. Li Zicheng felt at a loss, he actually had so much silver?

Niu Jinxing hurriedly explained on the side, it was not 50 million taels of silver, but it was worth so much.

After all, Luoyang is the largest city in the world, and now the homes of the big families in the city have indeed gained a huge harvest. However, there are both gold and silver, but not only these, but also many antique calligraphy and paintings.

"Many of them are silver dollar coupons, and it is estimated that these things will not be easy to use after they arrive in Guanzhong, but it is still possible to use them in Kanto through merchants."

Niu Jinxing said with some pity, "It's a pity that those houses and fields are shops, but they are worth a lot." ”

Li Zicheng actually controlled a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands for the first time, and it was just a matter of breaking the state and seizing the county before, and it was naturally incomparable with Luoyang's harvest.

If it weren't for Zhu Changxun, Lu Qiqi and others as a signboard, and all the gentry and merchants in Fuwang and Luoyang were copied, it is estimated that the gold, silver, money and grain copied out would be doubled.

"When you leave, set fire to Luoyang and burn it, damn it, Lao Tzu doesn't need it, and it can't be left to Liu Jiye." Li Zicheng hated the way.

However, the property of those big families did make Li Zicheng a little jealous, and when he was a post officer, he couldn't even eat. And among these big households, which one is not wealthy. In Luoyang City, there are tens of millions of family properties, needless to say that King Fu's money is self-explanatory, and the rest of those who have a family wealth of one million taels of silver are not a few.

Many of the gentry had more than 100,000 taels of property.

It's really Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

The rich have thousands of mansions, and the poor have no place to stand.

After withdrawing to Guanzhong, the capital was established in Xi'an, and when it was poured, there was these gold, silver, money and grain, and it was just right to recruit troops and buy horses.

The night has been three watches, and Luoyang City has gradually fallen into tranquility.

The soldiers who had been crazy for two days finally returned to the camp under the pressure of Liu Zongmin's troops. Basically, every soldier had a lot of money, and many of them were still wearing women's satin shirts, gold and silver bracelets on their hands, pearl necklaces around their necks, gold and silver around their waists, and silver dollar coupons in their arms.

In this regard, Liu Zongmin only turned a blind eye.

Anyway, the big heads have already been put into the warehouse, and their generals have taken the big heads, and the brothers under them must be satisfied.

It's just that when the army was smugly, countless gentry and people in Luoyang City hated them to the core.

The night breeze is breezy and slightly cool.

Tonight, the guard of the south gate will be Wang Yinchang, the commander of the Beijing camp, standing on the city wall, his hand caressing the battlements, he stood quietly for a long time.

Looking back at Luoyang behind him for a long time, he finally turned around and clenched his teeth.

"Luoyang can't be destroyed in my hands, and I can't let those thieves be arrogant."

Taking a deep breath, Wang Yinchang raised his right hand and waved it heavily.

Several heavily armed generals beside him immediately nodded, stepped aside, and shouted in a low voice, "Raise the fire!" (To be continued.) )
