Chapter 608: Thunder Strike
When the walls are broken, it's as if the lid of a can has been pried open, and the rest can be eaten however you want. Kaifeng is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, with extremely rich hoarding materials and a large population, which just makes up for the consumption of the continuous war.
The leaders of the rogues on each side fought for their lives, running frantically towards the gap, and the crowd was like ants, running forward with their heads down, as if there was a great benefit.
And those who really rushed in, they suddenly found that what was waiting for them was not a delicious feast, but the sickle of death.
The bullets in the rainstorm came wildly, the people in the front row fell, and the people in the back rushed up, they moved fast, the other party's bullets were faster than them, and the dense crowd couldn't dodge at all.
I could only watch the heads of the people in the front row explode, blood gushing, and pieces of flesh and internal organs falling on my body, and I didn't have time to be afraid, the other party's bullets came again, and I became rotten meat on the ground.
The rogue rushed towards the city one after another, and the firepower in the city became more and more ferocious, in addition to the fire guns, grenades, swarms of bees, divine fire crows, tiger squatting cannons......
Everything that could be put to good use came up, explosions rumbled, and flames rose into the sky. Even the rogues outside the city are stupid, it's not that the city walls are open, why can't they rush in, isn't this worrying!
Hao Shaoqi and Li Guo strode in front of Li Zicheng and clasped their fists.
"King Chuang, let's lead the troops to kill it!"
Li Zifei thought about nodding, but he also saw that there was something strange in the city, so he didn't nod, but said to the five people on the other side: "Brother Ma, Brother He, the heavy task of breaking Kaifeng will be handed over to you." ”
The people who were called were Lao Hui Ma Shouying, Ge Li Yan He Yilong, Zuo Jin Wang He Jin, Reincarnated King Liu Xiyao, and Troubled King Lin Yangsheng, and the five of them were the famous Ge Zuo Five Battalions. Originally, they had already accepted the imperial court's recruitment, but when they saw Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai besieging Kaifeng, they felt that it was cheap, so they came to join in the fun.
Hearing Li Zicheng's order, Ma Shouying laughed and said, "King Chuang." Kaifeng City has a lot of oil and water, if we kill it first, what if the other brothers are not happy? ”
Li Zicheng laughed: "Brother Ma thinks too much, what is Kaifeng just about, we still have to enter the capital and rob Chongzhen Xiao'er's dragon chair!" ”
He Jin said with a smile: "King Chuang is so courageous, but our brothers don't have that much ambition, as long as they can enter the city and give us tens of thousands of stone grain, they will be satisfied." ”
"Good. I'm waiting for a few good news! ”
Ma Shouying, He Jin and others rushed into the gap under the cover of artillery fire with men and horses.
At this time, the Yizhou soldiers had already taken the initiative to retreat, leaving a distance of two or three hundred steps, the original houses were demolished, the musketeers took the lead, the artillery pressed the formation, there were cavalry guards on both sides, and the standard combat formation was set up.
Ma Shouying they had just rushed in. The cannon rang out, and dozens of flowering shells exploded in the middle of the rogues, and the flying shrapnel was like the scythe of death, wielding mercilessly. Bands of rogues were hit and fell to the ground.
Ma Shouying took the lead, but he was also startled by the fierce artillery fire, and he hurriedly waved the knife in his hand. shouted loudly: "Rush, rush to the front, the cannon of the lackeys of the government will not work!" ”
The rogues screamed. They rushed forward one after another.
"Shoot!"
The gunshots rang out non-stop, the Ming army came out with all the means, and the corpses of the rogues were piled up one after another. The blood pooled into a red river, and the strong fishy smell was disgusting.
Hong Chengchou was standing beside Zhang Ke to supervise the battle, his face was a little pale.
"Lord Wang, the Yizhou soldier god is powerful, the lower officials have heard of it for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, and the lower officials admired it! Just ......"
Zhang Ke said: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
"Obey, lord, the lower officials think that there are many Liukou, if they fight against the city, they may be able to defeat them, but now that the city wall has been broken, Wanyi Kou has found a weakness and killed in the city, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to prevent."
Du Qing pressed the hilt of the knife and sneered slightly: "Lord Hong, listen to what you mean, you blame the prince for not making a move in advance to keep Kaifeng City, right?" ”
Hong Chengchou was so frightened that his old face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be lowly, how can you dare to question the prince!" ”
"I don't dare!"
Zhang Ke smiled slightly: "Don't be rude to Lord Hong." But please rest assured, Lord Hong, this king has his own way to deal with it. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Ke looked up at the streamers on the flagpole and suddenly laughed.
"Du Qing, can we use the gift we prepared for Li Zicheng?"
Du Qing said with a smile: "What the prince said is that the wind direction is just right!" ”
Hong Chengchou didn't know why, and suddenly he felt that the sky was dark, and he raised his head suddenly, almost scaring Hong Chengchou's soul away. I saw a behemoth appear in the sky, a radius of more than ten zhang, the color of flowers and green, slowly flying overhead, and there was a basket hanging below.
Looking at it, there was not just one, but dozens of others behind, flying towards the head of the Liukou with the direction of the wind.
"W-what is this?"
Hong Chengchou stumbled when he spoke, Du Qing smiled contemptuously, and said in his heart that Hong Chengchou still has some fame, why don't he have any knowledge at all.
"Lord Hong, this is called a hot air balloon, we used it when we fought Liaodong, in the past, the hot air balloon could only be used to observe the enemy's situation, this time it's good, we have made it bigger, not only can we bring people up, but also bring weapons, you can see it!"
As he spoke, the hot air balloon had already floated to the top of the thieves, and the soldiers on it lit the fuse of the grenade, and with a light hand, a string of grenades fell from the sky.
The volley exploded at a distance of less than a foot from the ground, and the flying shrapnel was even more terrifying than the ground throwing, and many rogues couldn't figure out what was going on, so they were shattered in the skull, and the brains flew everywhere. A crying father and a mother, embarrassed screams.
The hot air balloon kept throwing bombs, and the rogues below were killed and injured in pieces, not to mention how miserable. They were all blown up, turned around and ran, huddled with the people behind them, and became canned sardines.
At this time, the bombs on the head did not stop, and as soon as they died, it was a large piece.
Hot air balloon bombing, lethality is secondary, the most important thing is the destruction of people's hearts. Even Hong Chengchou had never seen a hot air balloon, let alone those rogues.
When they saw the bombs falling from the sky, they thought that the heavens had sent punishment, and it was the thunder and lightning mother who launched an attack on them. No matter how fierce the Yizhou soldiers are, they all have the courage to fight.
But if it was replaced by God, even if they were killed, they wouldn't dare to fight hard. Some even knelt on the ground and kept pleading, apparently to no avail. The sound of explosions continued to sound, and there were strong troops in front of them to intercept them, and there were bombs on them, and the rogues completely lost the courage to fight.
They all turned around and fled, and Ma Shouying and the others, who were killing violently, were even more frightened, and had to flee with the rebels, there were crowds everywhere, where could they run?
Ma Shouying didn't care about anything, desperately brandished the machete, red eyes, and slashed his own people.
"Get out of here, get out of here!"
Just as he was shouting, he suddenly felt a pain in his back, and a stray bullet hit the back of the heart, Ma Shouying trembled, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he died immediately. (To be continued......)
