Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 591 Li Zicheng Should Be able to Give a Fair Price
Although refugees are consumables in Li Zicheng's eyes, consumables are not consumed regardless of cost. Li Zicheng thought of this and ordered the artillery team to immediately cover with fire.

The cannons used by the artillery team were all taken from the top of the Ming Dynasty's official army. At this time, the vehicles were running and used as mobile cannons, and the cannons were quickly erected.

At this time, Li Zicheng gave an order, and immediately the artillery roared, and the shells slammed on the Luoyang city wall, but the Luoyang city wall was a full ten meters thick. Such a thick city wall, the red cannon blasted up, it was just a hole That's all, I can't get through it at all.

At this time Liu Zeqing saw that Li Zicheng used the artillery, and he was not going to be polite anymore. With a wave of his hand, the artillery of Luoyang City was also ready. As the most important city in Henan, Luoyang City has very strong defenses. There were ten red-clothed cannons on the ground, and at this moment an order was given, and the cannons exploded.

Li Zicheng and Liu Zeqing actually started to bombard each other, the two sides fought inextricably, the ones suffering were the bandits below, who were injured in pieces by the artillery.

But the rogues were brave enough, braved artillery, bows and arrows, and some touched the bottom of the city wall. At this time, they were on the ladder frame, and they climbed up the city wall one by one with knives in their mouths.

Seeing this, Liu Zeqing didn't panic in the slightest, and waved his hand and said, "Get ready, wood rolling stone."

The next moment, big stones, big wooden piles, fell from the sky, and the [-]-[-] meter city wall threw stones down to hit people. Very bloody.

But even so, the rogues are still brave. I have to say that the rogues are really desperate for a bite to eat. Seeing the rogues who are about to climb up step by step, Liu Zeqing drew out his sword, and the next moment a pungent smell spread. come over.

"General, the golden juice is ready."

Hearing this, Liu Zeqing glanced back at the lieutenant general and said, "Fall!"

"promise."

Immediately after a large pot, a large pot, the boiled golden juice poured down from the city wall. What is golden juice should have been explained earlier, that is dung soup, which is heated and poured on people. It will burn people immediately, and then the bacteria carried will infect the wound. In the era without penicillin, these scalded people can only wait for the wound to become infected, and finally die.

Therefore, golden juice is a very precious military resource in this era. Even when marching and fighting, the feces cannot be easily poured out. Moreover, when the two armies confront each other, some soldiers will soak their swords in golden juice and chop them on the battlefield. If someone is injured, that person will not die on the spot, but will be infected and die afterwards.

The end is vicious.

A few large pots of golden juice poured down, followed by no one on the ladder. At this moment, Liu Zeqing covered his nose and smiled, "Hahaha, trespasser, taste Grandpa's feces."

"Go, boil a few more pots."

Liu Zeqing said, and after hearing this, the deputy general said: "General, everything we prepared has been poured down, there is no more golden juice in the barracks."

Liu Zeqing heard the words and said: "Go, send someone to let the people near the city wall bring the dung from their homes to me. If the intruders don't give up, let them eat enough now."

The deputy general heard the words: "Yes."

Liu Zeqing stood at the top of the city and looked at Li Zicheng in the distance, his eyes showed a bit of fighting spirit, Ruyang City is short, I am no match for you, Luoyang City is so tall, I can't fight you with the fortification of the city ? "

Liu Zeqing's eyes were cold, and Li Zicheng also saw the tragic scene here. In less than half an hour's charge, the refugees had already suffered thousands of casualties. If the fighting continued, the casualties would be even greater. Thinking of this, Li Zicheng's eyes became serious. It seemed that Luoyang City was not so easy to win.

But if Luoyang is not taken, Henan will not be considered safe. If the imperial army comes again, he may fail again. No, Luoyang City must be taken.

Li Zicheng looked solemnly.

……

"Kill it~"

At this time in Luoyang City, in an inn against the city wall, a big man was drinking tea, looked at a boy in black in front of him, and said boredly: "When will Li Zicheng be able to attack? I'll take a look at the Palace of the King of Fortune. It is wealth, it looks like jewels from the outside, and there must be a lot of gold and silver treasures inside."

Seeing what the big man said, the boy in black smiled and said, "Brother Mengzi, I remember that you are not a money-grubbing person?"

Hearing this, the big man laughed and said: "I am not greedy for money, but the county lord is greedy for money. The county lord told me before leaving that if I can't get back the 200 million taels this time, he will send it to Lantian for me." Go to the academy to study, you also know that the most annoying thing for me is studying, send me to the academy, and listen to those gentlemen explaining the truth to me every day, my head will explode."

"Hahaha, brother Mengzi, you are wrong. The county lord asked you to study, so you should study. If you fail to improve your education in the future, it may have an impact on your promotion."

The boy in black said.

Hearing this, the big man said: "Xiao Lei, you don't know me yet. It doesn't matter to me whether I get promoted or not, as long as I can follow the county magistrate. During that time, let me manage some special warfare battalion. During that time, I was When I was the happiest in my life, when I woke up, my mind was full of what these hundreds of people should train, what to eat, and how to arrange it, which almost exhausted me to death.”

"Later, I was transferred back to the county venerable, and the people in my hands were familiar with it. I just need to do a good job in the security of the county lord every day. It is very worry-free. In the rest of the time, I will go out with the county lord to see the excitement, or if the county lord wants to approve documents, I will be there. It's good to practice martial arts in the yard."

"That's why I don't want to go to the academy to learn those great principles. I'm not made to be a high official, hahaha..."

Li Chaomeng laughed, and after hearing this, Shi Xiaolei said enviously: "Brother Mengzi, you still live a transparent life, unlike me, a lot of things happen every day, alas..."

Li Chaomeng said: "Why don't you want to do it anymore, why don't you come to me, I still have the position of adjutant here, you can do it."

"Forget it, there are only so many cronies of the county venerable, each of us should try our best to help the county venerable, we all went to the county lord to be guards, the investigation department is in charge, the county lord can Don't worry?"

Hearing this, Li Chaomeng nodded and said, "That's right, the investigation department really employs one of our own people, otherwise there will be trouble."

Shi Xiaolei smiled and said: "Besides, to be honest, Brother Mengzi, I feel that it is good to be so busy every day. Although I can't follow the county lord around at any time, but I can be the eyes of the county lord and stare at our interior. I feel that I am very fulfilled. We men If this position is placed in Daming, it will be the Commander of Jinyiwei, hahaha..."

Li Chaomeng tapped his ears and said, "Official fans."

"By the way, let's talk about something serious, when are we going to make a move on this Prince Fu's mansion?"

Shi Xiaolei smiled and said: "Don't worry, the county lord has already said, before Li Zicheng breaks the city, it will be the most chaotic time in Luoyang Mansion, we can take the opportunity to attack Fu Wang Mansion."

"Li Zicheng, it looks like this guy won't be able to attack for a while. When Sun Chuanting comes again, this city of Luoyang may still be defended."

Shi Xiaolei heard the words and said: "If you can't hold on, there will be disasters in the future, and the people's hearts are not in Daming. Li Zicheng's uprising will definitely succeed. It's not how strong Li Zicheng is, but the times make heroes. The people who can't survive in Ming need such a leader. And as long as the people need him, even if the city of Luoyang is hundreds of feet high, it won't help, and any force that dares to oppose the people will end badly in the end."

Li Chaomeng smiled and said, "I understand what you said, Li Zicheng is that pig."

"pig?"

Shi Xiaolei was stunned, why is there something about pigs here?
Li Chaomeng laughed and said, "That's right, pigs. The county lord said that pigs can fly as long as they stand on the wind. Now that the anger of the people of Ming Dynasty is the wind, Li Zicheng has caught it. Naturally, it is up to him to achieve great success."

Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei felt very novel. Although this metaphor is rather vulgar, the truth is true. Shi Xiaolei said: "Well, that's what it means. This Luoyang City will be breached sooner or later, and if I'm not wrong If not, our people will find Li Zicheng today."

"today?"

Li Chaomeng was a little surprised and said, "Why is it today?"

Shi Xiaolei said with a smile: "Li Zicheng was defeated today, and he will definitely know that Luoyang city is attacked with their current strength, that is to use human lives to fill it up. As for how many people are needed, I don't know. It's all consumed here, so, at this time, it's the most fair price to negotiate with him, hehe."

After hearing this, Li Chaomeng said, "How fair can it be?"

Shi Xiaolei smiled and said, "Unimaginably fair, hahaha..."

Shi Xiaolei laughed out loud. This time, the county lord was going to sell them [-] catties of gunpowder. The manufacturing cost of [-] catties of gunpowder in Lantian was about [-] silver dollars, but it was usually two taels of silver per catty for takeaways. Li Zicheng, I'm afraid the price will be so fair that it's unexpected. After all, it's Wei Bao who came to negotiate with Li Zicheng this time. This bastard is not a loser.

Shi Xiaolei thought about it and said to Li Chaomeng: "Brother Mengzi, don't worry, we will wait here. These days our people have been staying in the inns near the Fuwang Mansion one after another. When Luoyang City is broken, we can break it as soon as possible. Prince Fu's Mansion, the defensive strength of Prince Fu's Mansion can't stop us from attacking, once we take down Prince Fu's Mansion, we will transfer the treasure and wait for the opportunity to transport it out of Luoyang City."

Hearing this, Li Chaomeng said, "Well, that's fine."

"In addition, Brother Mengzi, you don't have to worry. We have already liquidated the Fuwang Mansion in advance. According to preliminary estimates, Fuwang's property is no less than 500 million taels of silver. The county's request for your 200 million taels is not a big deal. You can easily get the palace."

"Well, that's very good. I really want the county lord to be sent to the academy to listen to the lectures of those old scholars, but I don't want to leave the county lord to go to the academy."

Shi Xiaolei laughed when he heard the words: "Don't worry, this operation, multi-party cooperation, the mere Fu Wang can't escape our palms."

"Well, that's fine."

Li Chaomeng nodded.

……

"Kill!"

At the head of Luoyang City, the attacks of the rogues continued and uninterrupted, and the shouts of killing shook the sky for a while. Above the head of the city, Liu Zeqing organized waves of defensive battles. There is a big gap with Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Hong Chengchou at the level of famous generals.

Even with the second echelon, Yang Sichang, Zuo Liangyu and others are not as good.

But in the third echelon, he should be regarded as a high-ranking existence. As for the use of troops, he can be regarded as quite satisfactory. His subordinates are basically what the Ming Dynasty's official army should be.

As for the officers and soldiers under the generals like Lu Xiangsheng, those who were influenced by the coach have an extra military spirit. This is also the reason why we say that a raging soldier is a raging nest. If the coach does not have that energy, then The soldiers under him are also mixed into the life, this is the influence of a coach.

What Liu Zeqing lacks is Lu Xiangsheng's spirit of devoting himself to Daming and dying, so his army can only be regarded as mediocre.

However, a medium-sized army, combined with Luoyang City, a precipitous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, can display amazing combat power. Liu Zeqing was commanding the battle at this time, watching the rogues who died tragically under Luoyang City, and listening to the rogues. There was no mercy in the screams.

This is war, either you die or I die.

Ah ~
With a scream, a soldier beside Liu Zeqing was shot in the eye by the bandit's bow and arrow. With a scream, he fell to the ground, screaming in pain, and soon died.

Seeing this, Liu Zeqing's face remained unchanged, he took the bow and arrow from the soldier, and shot an arrow down, and the next moment a bandit died tragically under the arrow.

There is no mercy on the battlefield, only revenge.

At this time, the battle had been going on for an hour. At this time, the corpses had already covered the Luoyang city. Both sides suffered heavy casualties at this time, but neither of them admitted defeat. This is the time to compete for endurance and determination.

Watching the soldiers fall one by one, Liu Zeqing was expressionless. Li Zicheng looked calm when he watched the rogues fall one after another. There is no benevolent generation in generals.

After fighting for another quarter of an hour, Li Zicheng turned to look at Li Shichao, the leader of the guards, and said, "How many casualties?"

Li Shichao heard the words and said: "The exact number of casualties is unpredictable, but by visual estimation, seven or eight phalanxes have gone up, and there should be tens of thousands."

Li Zicheng sighed after hearing the words: "Luoyang's thousand-year-old capital is well-deserved, and it really is not easy to take it down. Alas, let me know and call for gold to withdraw troops. Today is just a test, there is no need to die, so many casualties are enough."

"Yes."

After hearing this, Li Shichao shouted to his back: "Crack the king's decree, Mingjin withdraws troops."

"Break through the king's order, Ming Jin withdraws troops."

"Break through the king's order, Ming Jin withdraws troops."

Li Zicheng's words were quickly passed on like drums and flowers, and soon he arrived at the front of the formation. After hearing this, the sound of gongs sounded in the barracks immediately, followed by Liu Zongmin and Li Guo who were directing the charge and watched angrily. Luoyang City scolded: "Damn it, sooner or later you will take down your bird city, withdraw your troops, withdraw your troops!"
