After the second and third rounds of the charge ended in a fiasco, Li Zicheng's mood changed a lot.

He faintly felt uneasy, could it be that it was really Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, who captured Luoyang Mansion City, could it be that the combat effectiveness of the official army suddenly changed dramatically, the combat effectiveness of the Tianxiong Army was very good, but it was also completely wiped out by the righteous army, after so many years of fierce fighting, he was clear about the combat effectiveness of the official army countless times.

Whether to continue the offensive or give up the attack, Li Zicheng fell into great torment.

If you can't take Luoyang Fucheng, you will lose most of your money and grain and grass, which means that you can't maintain the expenses required by the huge rebel army, and the next battle to attack Xiangyang Fucheng is impossible to talk about, but if you continue to attack, the morale of the rebel army will suffer a devastating blow, and there will be more heavy casualties.

The battlefield was quiet again, and some of the rebel sergeants, holding white flags, began to collect the corpses of their comrades on the battlefield, and there was no further attack on the city walls.

Zheng Xunrui came to the city wall again, more than an hour passed, the Liukou launched three attacks, all ended in a fiasco, the Zheng family army soldiers had almost no casualties, that is, more than a dozen soldiers were negligent in their precautions, and were shot by bows and arrows, this mode of battle, so that the atmosphere on the city wall seemed very relaxed, many soldiers had smiles on their faces, and the wounded soldiers were unwilling to go to the city wall to rest after a simple bandage, and they were still insisting.

Seeing Zheng Xunrui coming to the city wall, Zheng Jinhong was very worried and hurriedly greeted him.

"Young Master, the battle continues......"

"I know, I'm here for you."

Zheng Jinhong looked at Zheng Xunrui, a little strange, the battle was still ongoing, everything was carried out according to the original operational deployment and plan, and the morale of the rogues suffered a great blow, if it continued like this, the soldiers of the Zheng family army did not even need to launch a charge, they could inflict heavy losses on the rogues.

"Zheng Jinhong. I think the cavalry should have attacked in advance. ”

"Young master, isn't this too early?"

Zheng Xunrui smiled and spoke confidently.

"The morale of the rogue has suffered a heavy blow, but Li Zicheng is still lucky. So far, I don't know who his opponent is, and I have long said that the main task of Zheng Jiajun's operation this time is to keep the Cao transportation unimpeded, so that the grain from Huaibei can reach Shaanxi. In order for Shaanxi's mutual market to proceed smoothly, our main task is not to exterminate the rogues. ”

"Zheng Jiajun's attack this time, all actions are confidential, and this credit, Zheng Jiajun is not ready to obtain, it is estimated that there are four to five days left, Lord Xiong Wencan and Gao Gonggong will arrive in Luoyang Mansion City, during this period we still have a lot of things to deal with, food needs to be delivered, and the prisoners of the rogue need to be dealt with. We don't want to get bogged down for long. ”

"If it is too heavy a blow to the Liukou, then the matter of the Zheng family's army sending troops to fight will soon be exposed, and the emperor and the court will know about it, what kind of attitude will it be, I don't think it will be a good attitude, on the contrary, they will be more suspicious, which is very unfavorable for the future development of the Zheng family's army."

"The battle has continued until now, and the fruits of victory obtained by the Zheng family army are not small, and if these results are given to Lord Xiong Wencan, the court can also explain it."

"And most importantly, there is one more important point. It won't take long for the rogues under Li Zicheng to collapse, and their money and food. has been captured by us, what can Li Zicheng do to feed tens of thousands of people, since we can make Li Zicheng and the Liukou themselves collapse, why should we spend so much energy. ”……

Zheng Jinhong nodded frequently, these truths are simple and clear, and the meaning behind them is also profound. In fact, since last year, the affairs of the Zheng family's army have not focused on the deployment of the imperial court, the focus is on taking into account the needs of their own development, this major change, Zheng Jinhong is clear, but also understandable, the emperor and the imperial court's worries and calculations, Zheng Jinhong is also in his eyes, for this change of the young master, he fully supports.

"Young master, my subordinates understand, and my subordinates will immediately give the order to attack."

"Well, remember to tell Liu Zeqing and the others, don't chase desperately, play the banner of the Zheng family's army, and make the Liukou feel afraid, as for the Liukou to run away desperately, let them escape."

"Yes, everyone knows that the pursuit cannot exceed ten miles."

The Hongyi cannon began to roar again, this time it was the Zheng Jiajun who took the initiative to attack.

Although the formation of the Liukou is about five miles away from the city wall, the Hongyi cannon fired condescendingly, the cannonballs can hit the formation of the Liukou, but there is a gap in accuracy and lethality.

The cannonballs hit the ground and exploded, causing the rogue formation to retreat backwards like a tidal wave.

It was at this time that the city gate of the south gate opened, and Liu Zeqing and others, wearing red robes, led the cavalry out of the south gate and began to form a charging formation under the city wall.

The huge military flag of the Zheng family army flew in the air, not only the cavalry played the flag, but even on the city wall, the military flag of the Zheng family army began to flutter.

The cavalry of the Zheng family army who participated in the charge reached 10,000 people, and the cavalry camp of 10,000 people burst out with momentum, which made people even more frightened.

Li Zicheng, who was holding a monocular, saw all this clearly.

It was at this time that Li Zicheng's body began to tremble, and he suddenly realized that he had fallen into a huge trap, and it was the Zheng family army that attacked Luoyang Mansion City, which was the dream of the righteous army, so that the 20,000 righteous troops stationed in Luoyang Mansion City had been completely wiped out by the Zheng family army, and Li Yan and Red Lady and others could not have surrendered.

But the official army led by Xiong Wencan also wanted to launch an attack on Luoyang Fucheng, and the two official armies combined, wouldn't they want to completely exterminate the righteous army.

Li Zicheng almost didn't hesitate, turned his head and spoke to Liu Zongmin beside him.

"General Liu, order the army to evacuate quickly, our opponent is the Zheng army, if we are surrounded by the Zheng army, the consequences will be unimaginable......"

Liu Zongmin also knew the strength of Zheng Jiajun, and quickly left the Chinese military tent and prepared to organize the evacuation of the army.

Li Zicheng was still able to maintain his composure in front of him, but the sergeant of the righteous army could no longer hold on, and when he saw the military flag of the Zheng family's army, some of the officers who commanded the battle, turned their horses' heads and retreated backwards, they didn't want to die, not to mention that the Zheng family's army was ready to start charging, once the people rushed over, the people at the front would definitely not be spared.

The rumbling drum sounded completely, and the cavalry of the Zheng family army began to charge.

The momentum of the long-lost mountains and seas reappeared, and the cavalry of the Zheng family army roared like a flood peak.

A situation that Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin did not expect appeared, the formation of the rebel army collapsed instantly, and all the officers and sergeants turned their heads and ran towards the back, and no one was willing to face or resist the attack of the Zheng family's cavalry.

The order given by Li Zicheng could no longer be carried out, and Liu Zongmin looked at the fleeing sergeant and was helpless.

Zheng Xunrui, who was on the city wall, held a monocular, watching all this.

He quickly put down his binoculars and spoke to Zheng Jinhong.

"Jin Hong, I didn't expect that more than a year has passed, Li Zicheng still hasn't made any progress, and Liukou's combat effectiveness hasn't improved in the slightest, I don't even know how they defeated Lu Xiangsheng."

"Young master, the rogues are afraid of the Zheng family's army, afraid of the young master, and dare not fight head-on."

"Send a herald immediately, I think there must be a lot of rogues who surrendered, so don't start killing, and wait until Lord Xiong Wencan arrives, and hand it over to Lord Xiong to deal with."

Before the conversation between Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jinhong ended, a scene that made them unbelievable appeared.

The cavalry of the Zheng family army caught up with the rogues who were desperately fleeing, and before the large-scale battle began, many rogues surrendered on their knees, and the trend of surrender spread rapidly.

Li Zicheng had already led Liu Zongmin and others to start a large-scale evacuation.

Surrounded by a large number of rogues who knelt on the ground and surrendered, and in front of them were rogues who were desperately evacuating, Liu Zeqing hesitated instantly, if he led the army to charge with all his might, what should happen to so many rogue prisoners, these captives are in chaos, and it is not easy to deal with them.

It was also at this time that the herald arrived and conveyed Zheng Jinhong's order.

Liu Zeqing's face was full of frustration, looking at the rogue who was fleeing on a large scale, and raised the spear in his hand.

The soldiers immediately shouted and ordered the cavalry officers to stop the attack.

Back on the city wall, Liu Zeqing, who was full of frustration, came to Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jinhong.

"My lord, Zheng Dashuai, this kind of fight is really boring, it will end before it starts, if you let your subordinates go down to pursue, you will definitely be able to kill the rogue to the point that you will be able to turn over on your back, and even be able to capture Li Zicheng alive."

Zheng Xunrui patted Liu Zeqing on the shoulder.

"I know what you think, I tried to fight hard, but before I let go of my hands and feet, the battle was over, and there will be opportunities in the future, although Li Zicheng escaped, but he has no food and grass, no money, with such a huge team, what is the future, when we launched an attack, Li Zicheng evacuated so quickly, I am afraid that he wants to leave the burden, we should not be so stupid, do not accept Li Zicheng's burden."

Liu Zeqing thought for a moment and quickly understood.

"My lord Mingjian, my subordinates understand that if there are too many captured prisoners, and they have to take care of food, Li Zicheng has no money and no food in his hands, and he can't maintain it at all."

Laughter came from the top of the city walls.

Under the city wall, the dejected rogues lined up in formation, concentrating towards the location of the original military camp, there were not so many places in the city, and these prisoners could only be held in the military camp outside the city.

Next, Zheng Jinhong and Hong Xintao will be selected immediately, and those who are selected can enter the Zheng family's army, some of which will be brought to Shaanxi by Hong Xintao, and some will follow back to Huai'an.

A battle that seemed to be very grandiose ended so quickly, many people did not expect. (To be continued.) )
