In the face of the rogues who flocked to the city, He Renlong was furious, slashing frantically with a knife in his hand, none of the rogues could go through a round, his feet were full of corpses, stepping on the corpses of the enemy, He Renlong strode forward, forcing the rogues to retreat.

The morale of the Ming army was boosted, and they waved their swords one after another, slashing a rogue, blood flowing all over the ground, and the smoke of gunpowder stimulated everyone's senses.

He Renlong cut off a human head, and suddenly slashed at him, he didn't care at all, but stabbed back.

According to the normal situation, the other party will definitely parry his nirvana, but who knows that the other party continues to slash forward as if he doesn't know that he is afraid, He Renlong didn't have time to react at all, he only felt a pain in his shoulder, and blood came out.

Since the start of the war, he was injured for the first time, and the other party paid an even more painful price, he was slashed from the abdomen to the chest, a one-and-a-half-foot-long wound, blood gushed wildly, and he couldn't survive.

But there was not the slightest fear in his eyes, there was only a strong hatred, He Renlong had seen countless lives and deaths, but at this moment, his heart couldn't help but move!

Before He Renlong could think about it, another group of people climbed up from below, they were dressed similarly to the dead people, each holding a sword and weapon, without saying a word, he rushed to kill He Renlong.

He Renlong hurriedly parried, but as soon as he fought, he felt that something was wrong, these boys were not very old, they were only sixteen or seventeen years old, they didn't know how to defend at all, they just played with life's attacks.

If you slash over, the other party will also slash over, no matter how good you are, it's useless. At first glance, they are similar to the white-knuckle combat methods of the Yizhou soldiers, but if you look closely, you can see the difference, they don't know how to cooperate, and everyone just fights alone.

But that's it. also wanted to die, He Renlong stabbed a knife into the other party's chest, and the young man on the opposite side was full of vitality and did not die for a while, so he grabbed He Renlong's knife so that he couldn't pull it back.

At this moment, two other people rushed up and slashed down according to He Renlong.

He Renlong didn't have time to withdraw his weapon, so he could only roll backwards and dodge the fatal blow in an extremely ugly way. Suddenly, He Renlong's head was in a cold sweat. Where did this kid come from, how can he be so desperate!

Before he could react, the other party rushed up again, no matter how high his martial arts were, he was afraid of kitchen knives. He Renlong could only hurriedly turn around and escape, his movements were a little slower, and he only felt a pain in his waist and back, so he didn't need to ask if he must have been stabbed. He Renlong is experienced in the end, and he did not hesitate. Run wild.

At this time, the family also rushed up to protect He Renlong.

After getting the weapon again, He Renlong didn't care about the pain, turned around and threw himself into the fight again. He led his family and the young soldiers on the opposite side to fight. The more you kill him, the cooler it becomes. The group of people on the opposite side didn't know about death, they were completely fighting for their lives, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen family members were killed and injured.

"What a great little bunny, give me arrows!"

The archers rushed forward. There was a burst of carved arrows, and more than a dozen were killed and wounded on the other side, and the remaining ones were also wounded. Seeing that they could not do anything, they had to retreat from the city walls.

As they retreated, the rogues gradually stopped attacking, and the tide receded.

The battle was not long, but He Renlong was stabbed three times in his body and almost died, which made him angry and afraid. simply took the corpse on the ground to vent his anger, waved the big knife, cut off the heads one by one, and hung them on the flagpole to vent his anger.

"Lord Qiqi, the thief Luo Rucai has a special team of people. The chosen members are all very old, and all of them are orphans whose parents have died! Du Qing reported the situation to Zhang Ke.

Hearing this, Zhang Ke couldn't help but be surprised.

"How did these people's parents die?"

"Most of them were killed by the imperial court." Du Qing replied very simply, "Some of them are tired of servitude, especially those who are forced to die by collecting taxes, and some are starving to death, in short, these teenagers have a deep blood feud with the imperial court." Luo Rucai trained them to take revenge, and they were extremely brave in battle, and today He Renlong was almost planted in the hands of these people. ”

"I see, this 'Cao Cao' is really a talent, and he actually knows how to use the power of hatred, and there are some ways." This level of stuff can only be said to barely arouse Zhang Ke's interest, but Du Qing's next words made Zhang Ke a little surprised.

"Lord Wang, according to the lowly investigation, Luo Rucai's subordinates have two or three hundred such troops, and the leader of them is called Sun Kewang, who is Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son."

It's him!

Zhang Ke is no stranger to this name, in later generations Zhang Xianzhong was defeated, that is, Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo led the Great Western Army to continue to resist the Qing Dynasty, bloody battle in the southwest, although Sun Kewang surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and became a shameless traitor, but Li Dingguo fought to the last soldier, worthy of the sky, worthy of the ground, the great hero!

After killing Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Ke also secretly instructed people to inquire about the whereabouts of Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, but he didn't get any news. After all, he is still a child, and he has no chance to make a mark. Now that he suddenly appeared in Luo Rucai's army, it was really a bit tricky.

Zhang Ke knocked on the table and said slowly: "These teenagers fell into the hands of Luo Rucai, that is the pearl cast into the dark, can you find a way to win them over?" ”

"Lord Qiyu, I heard from General Qiao that after he defeated Zhang Xianzhong, he once followed your example and quietly put some prisoners back and let them return to the liukou as the internal response of our army. I thought that maybe I could activate these shadows. ”

"Hahaha, Qiao Fu learns very fast! Okay, get in touch right away. ”

……

Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai attacked the city for three days in a row, and in addition to losing their troops, they did not get any advantage. Liukou can also see that Kaifeng Xiongcheng is not easy to take.

On the fourth day, the Liukou changed their strategy, and they adopted a posture of encirclement, and surrounded Kaifeng. Then he constantly sent small groups of troops to harass and prevent the soldiers and civilians in the city from being at peace.

The two sides entered a stalemate, Hong Chengchou breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, his heart hung in the air.

He breathed a sigh of relief because the rogues couldn't storm the city immediately, and he could rest easy for a while. What they are afraid of is that the rogues have been besieged for a long time, and there is not much food stored in the city, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians.

There was no way, Hong Chengchou had to find Zhang Ke again.

This time, Zhang Ke met with him and introduced his plans.

Yue Zixuan and Qiao Fu's two armies are moving forward quickly, they are like two knives, Yue Zixuan descended from the southwest of the mountain, captured Luoyang, and blocked the road for Li Zicheng to flee westward, while Qiao Fu seized the line of Xuchang and Xinzheng and blocked the road for Liukou to go south to Huguang.

It only takes twenty days for these two armies to be in place. At that time, a fierce attack was launched from Kaifeng, and the three-way army, from three aspects, completely surrounded and strangled the Liukou, and eradicated the scourge in one fell swoop.

At this time, if you are in a hurry to send troops, you will only startle the snake, and if the rogue knows the news and escapes, it will not be easy to find such a good time.

Coming out of Zhang Ke, Hong Chengchou only felt that his bones were lighter, and his body was about to fly. is worthy of being a winning general, and the layout is ruthless enough!

If you really follow Zhang Ke's deployment, twenty days later, you can wait to see the Liukou people turn on their backs and be defeated.

It's just that Hong Chengchou forgot that it was not so easy to survive these twenty days.

On the sixth day of the siege, suddenly the soldiers defending the city heard the sound of a cow roaring in the distance, and the monstrous white waves swept towards Kaifeng City.

The last time Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng, he chiseled the Yellow River and flooded Kaifeng, and now he is doing the same trick again.

Because the Yellow River is high above the ground, it has long been a hanging river on the ground, the embankment is chiseled, the river is rushing, and in an instant, it has arrived under the city of Kaifeng, and the huge city has become a water town in an instant.

The river invaded the city, flooding the low-lying areas, and the city walls were soaked in the river.

At this time, even Zhang Ke couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to do disaster relief work. First, the people in the low-lying areas were rescued, and then the city was strengthened, patrols were strengthened to prevent chaos, and thieves took advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack.

The Yizhou soldiers were well-trained, the military discipline was strict, and with them pressing the formation, there was no chaos in the city, but it made Hong Chengchou and others relax a lot.

Compared to last year, the floods are not serious, and the water will recede in seven days at most.

But the next day, He An led a team of men and horses to patrol the city, and suddenly found a man walking and falling headlong.

He An hurriedly stepped forward and helped the person up to take a look, only to see that the corners of his mouth were foaming at the mouth, his body was hot, his face was blue and black, his teeth were clenched, and he kept trembling.

One of these situations, He An knew in his heart, this is a plague!

Thinking of this, He An's scalp was numb, and he immediately ordered: "Come on, block this block, and strictly prohibit people from moving." Immediately notify the military doctor and come over for an examination immediately. Then the prince was informed that there was a plague in the city, so that the prince could make plans in advance. ”

"Yes!"

The soldier ran out, and it wasn't long before the medic arrived.

Most of these doctors were Wu Youxing's disciples and grandchildren, and their understanding of the plague was completely different from that of previous doctors, who examined the patient's condition and put blood samples under a microscope for observation, and soon determined that they were infected with the plague.

Zhang Ke received the report and knew that the situation was not good, and once the plague spread, he was afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable, so he hurriedly ordered the whole city to investigate.

In half a day, three patients infected with the plague were found one after another, all of whom became ill because they drank unclean water. At this time, someone came to report, and they found that the rogues threw a large number of corpses, human and animal feces and urine into the city. In the dirty water that flowed into the city, rotten animal carcasses were also found.

This time it's finally clear, what a rogue actually played bacteriological warfare!

Zhang Ke was so angry that his teeth clucked, the Mongols had played this method when they attacked the Southern Song Dynasty, but now, they are also sons and daughters of China, and they actually use such vicious methods, which is simply unacceptable!

The camp of thieves outside the city did not have the slightest sense of introspection, on the contrary, they drank happily, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, and a large group of this king, which king's, drank happily.

"Hahaha, thanks to Mr. Xu's clever strategy, in a few days, the Ming army in the city will die cleanly, and we will go into the city to receive it then, hahaha!" Li Zicheng burst into laughter again. (To be continued......)
