The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 342 Game
After five consecutive days of fierce fighting, the outside of Kaifeng City had already been transformed beyond recognition by the flames of war.

A hundred steps away from the West City, there were countless broken corpses and damaged siege equipment.

There were piles of corpses in many places, broken limbs and bloody flesh everywhere, and the disgusting smell of blood lingered over the city all day long.

The low-lying areas above the ground were filled with black pools.

Those black pools are the product of blood solidifying.

Not only the walls of Kaifeng City, but also the walls of Kaifeng City were covered with corpses that had long been stiff and cold.

There are the Ming army defending the city, the civilian army attacking the city, and the civilian Zhuang who want to compete for a share of the bounty...

No matter what they were like in life, they were the same after death, lying quietly on the cold bricks and stones, no longer alive.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The heavy drums sounded one after another, as terrifying as the thunder in the sky, hitting everyone's chests like a heavy hammer.

Accompanied by the deafening shouts of killing, a large number of soldiers of the Ten Thousand People's Army wearing black scarves came once again outside Kaifeng City, and they were as densely packed as sardine cans.

The soldiers of the Ten Thousand People's Army under the city stepped across the pool of blood and continued to kill the generals on Kaifeng City while shouting and shouting amid the rumbling drums. .

On Kaifeng City, the Ming army defending the city and the Wan Min army attacking the city were already in close combat.

The soldiers screamed one after another, and blood burst out.

The Ming army defending the city was so overwhelmed by the artillery of the Wan Min Army that they could not even raise their heads, and were unable to stop the soldiers of the Wan Min Army from rolling in outside the city.

They can only rely on the advantages of the city wall to form a formation on the city wall to resist the army of people attacking the city.

When the soldiers of the Ten Thousand People's Army pass through the ladder, only one or several people can climb the city at the same time.

The She soldiers or Ming troops guarding the city had already formed a spear formation at the position where they had ascended the city.

Gunmen and archers were also in the array, firing their weapons from time to time, constantly killing and injuring the enemy troops on the city.

As the soldiers of the Wanmin Army ascended the city, the Ming and She soldiers defending the city were forced into close combat with them, and the casualties quickly increased.

The cries of killing on the top of the city were louder and louder, and the sounds of fighting were endless. There was bright red everywhere, and the color was crimson everywhere.

The defense line on Kaifeng Xicheng City is actually in danger.

However, Chen Wang didn't take it to heart.

In the Western Weng City of Kaifeng City, more than a thousand Hanzhong Army cavalry had gathered at this time. The red flags and banners covered the sky like a dense forest, and more armored cavalry were rushing in from other places.

Chen Wang, wearing a red robe and silver armor, holding a lance, stood in front of a group of armored cavalry with a calm expression.

"Chen De has led his troops to Xicheng for reinforcements. Xicheng's defense line has been stabilized for the time being."

Zhao Huailiang led his troops slowly from the side and reported the situation in Xicheng to Chen Wang.

Chen Wang nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Those attacking the city were all new soldiers among the Ten Thousand People Army, and their combat power was extremely limited.

Even now, Li Yan has not sent his elite troops to the battlefield to attack the city.

Chen Wang has already tested the strength of the guerrilla battalion under Chen De in the past few days.

It is true that we are still far behind in fighting the Jiannu in the North, but if we go to fight these new recruits of the Ten Thousand People's Army who don't even have armor, and most of them only have a spear or a sword, there is no reason to fail.

In history, Chen De followed Chen Yongfu and could be said to have achieved great military exploits.

Chen Wang raised his head and saw that the horizon in the distance was already red.

Under the molten golden sunlight, the sky and the earth were coated with a layer of gold.

Dusk is coming to an end, the setting sun is about to disappear below the horizon, and the world is gradually getting dark.

"How's the situation over there with Gao Qian?"

Chen Wang lightly held the horse in his hand, feeling the weight of the horse in his hand, and his heart was as calm as water.

Zhao Huailiang reined his horse forward half a step and reported back.

"Three thousand cavalry have been assembled on Gao Qian's side, ready to act upon orders at any time."

After getting the answer he wanted from Zhao Huailiang, Chen Wang also withdrew his gaze from the distant sunset.

If Li Yan only captured Luoyang City, then it wouldn't really matter if he turned a blind eye on the battlefield.

But Li Yan not only captured Luoyang, but also relied on a surprise attack to defeat the officers and soldiers of Henan in Zhengzhou. Even the governor of Henan, Li Xianfeng, died as a result.

After the war in Zhengzhou, Li Yan surrendered a large number of Henan soldiers and horses, and also obtained the most important armor and artillery to him.

His strength is even better than that of Li Zicheng at the end of the 14th year of Chongzhen in history.

In addition, Li Yan's talents outside Kaifeng this time really made Chen Wang feel the crisis.

Let Li Yan continue to develop like this.

Li Yan is probably more terrifying than Li Zicheng who swept the Central Plains in history.

It will inevitably affect his future plans and planning.

Such a result is naturally unacceptable to Chen Wang.

At this stage, Li Yan's strength is too inflated, and his development momentum must be suppressed, otherwise, I am afraid that Li Yan will be out of control in the near future.

Chen Wang stood up and stood up. In the Wengcheng, all three thousand armored cavalry belonging to him had arrived, and everyone's eyes were focused on him at this moment.

Killing generals all the way out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

Chen Wang naturally would not underestimate the heroes of this world.

The lion and the elephant fight the rabbit with all their strength.

The deafening shouts outside the city are gradually fading away.

It's almost time for Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

It's just that today, Ming Jin's withdrawal time may be postponed until very late...

Chen Wang stared at the closed city gate in front of him, and his aura continued to rise as time went by.

Between breaths, the originally slightly cold hands and feet were gradually filled with warm blood.

At this moment, Chen Wang's heart was as calm as still water.

Originally when Chen Wang was still a servant.

Whenever he faces a battle, fear still arises in his heart.

When the memories of the battle formation engraved in his bones and blood dispelled the fear in his heart, he could move forward and maintain a clear mind on the battle formation.

But now, when he faced the battle again, Chen Wang didn't have the slightest fear in his heart.

He has already grown from an ordinary servant to a qualified general.

The silence in the barbican city formed a very sharp contrast with the noisy, noisy and bloody battlefield in the city.

On the city, there were soldiers fighting hand to hand.

In the city, there are countless armored knights who are silent and ready to go.

The three thousand armored cavalry were silent. All of them were in the same posture, riding on the horses, holding weapons, looking ahead, standing behind Chen Wang.

All the messy affairs on and off the city could not affect their mood.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the order to attack... Time slipped away quietly like running water.

As the sun sets over the western mountains, the sky becomes increasingly bleak.

The red sunset is constantly dissipating, gradually being replaced by darkness.

There was no sound in the urn city, except for the turning of hooves of war horses and the occasional snort.

However, Chen Wang still did not issue a military order and remained silent.

It wasn't until an extremely inconsistent noise appeared amidst the deafening shouts of killing outside the city that Chen Wang suddenly opened his eyes.

"Om————"

Just to the southwest, several streams of thick smoke were billowing up, like smoke dragons baring their teeth and claws.

Facing everyone's gaze, Chen Wang slowly raised the horse in his hand and tilted it forward.

"Woo——————"

The low sound of the riding bugle suddenly rose into the sky in the Wengcheng, and in just a moment it resounded throughout the entire West City of Kaifeng.

On the towers on all sides of the urn city, the Ming army's warriors suddenly accelerated the frequency and strength of their knocks at this moment.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The high-spirited and powerful drum beats resounded over the West City of Kaifeng City.

The huge drum sound was like thunder, impacting the hearts of everyone above and below the city, causing the chest to resonate.

"Open the city gate!"

Just when the drums and trumpets sounded, at the Daliang Gate of Kaifeng West City, a group of Ming army warriors suddenly exerted force and pushed the winch of the city gate.

With a heart-wrenching creaking sound, the huge beam door slowly opened a small crack, and the two doors also moved to both sides.

Molten golden sunlight followed the exposed gaps and shot into the urn city from bottom to top.

Chen Wang's single horse stood in the lead, bathing in the sunshine.

The molten gold of the setting sun shines on Chen Wang's body, as if it has been coated with a layer of golden light and covered with a golden robe.

Chen Wang was completely wrapped in it, just like the legendary immortal god protected by divine light!
At this moment, Chen Wang's aura finally reached its peak.

The tall and majestic beam gates slowly opened to both sides, allowing Chen Wang to take in everything outside the city.

The sudden loud noise and the sudden opening of the city gate in Kaifeng City stunned the soldiers of the Wanmin Army who were still moving forward outside the city, and the forward momentum of the formation even stalled.

The cold wind howled and suddenly merged into the corridor of Daliangmen City Gate and rushed into the urn city of Kaifeng West City.

Countless fiery red flags fluttered violently accompanied by the roar of the wind.

The sound of hunting lingered in the ears of everyone inside and outside the city, and even the heavy drums could not suppress it.

Among all the flags and flags, the tallest and most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the fiery red banner that is taller than the other flags.

A pearl tassel is inserted on it and connected to the pheasant's tail. The eight-foot-five-inch ocher-yellow ribbon is constantly fluttering in the headwind.

The fiery red banner was surrounded by a group of flags and flags at the front.

The shuo wind blew towards Chen Wang's face and brought up the water-polished silver armor under Chen Wang's red robe.

Chen Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, the sound of hunting and the roar of the wind lingering in his ears.

In the field of vision, on the plains to the west of Kaifeng City, and on the plains, there are military formations of the Ten Thousand People's Army one after another.

Just outside the city gate, the soldiers of the Ten Thousand People's Army were like a sea wave, stretching as far as the eye could see.

But none of this could shake Chen Wang's mind at all.

Chen Wang slowly kicked the horse's belly, and the maroon horse snorted heavily, suddenly spurting out a stream of white air, and the snoring sound echoed in the urn city.

The war horse moved forward slowly with four hooves, and the clear sound of the horse's hooves echoed in Chen Wang's ears.

The next moment, three thousand armored cavalry moved together, their heavy horse hooves tapping on the ground.

The four hooves flipped, making a muffled sound like thunder, and with the help of the strong wind, it swept away into the distance.

Amidst the rumble of horse hooves, an icy chill spread across the wilderness, and fierce murderous intent almost came out.

Countless crimson helmet flags and red tassels fluttered in the strong wind, like a rolling bloody wave.

More than 3,000 armored cavalrymen of the Hanzhong Army moved in unison, like tigers descending from the mountain. In just a blink of an eye, they had opened a huge gap in the formation of the Ten Thousand People's Army on the outskirts of Xicheng.

The great formation of the Ten Thousand People's Army was shattered by the impact like a wave. All the soldiers of the Ten Thousand People's Army who had no time to escape were either killed by the rolling iron hooves or cut to the ground by the sharp swords and horses.

The earth receded rapidly like a tide, and the great formation of the Ten Thousand People's Army in the west of Kaifeng City had already completely collapsed.

……

Chen Wang was riding a war horse and looking at the dark black banner in the distance, with no emotion in his eyes.

He was surrounded by armored knights.

As the leader of a town, Chen Wang would naturally not take the lead when charging.

In the Wengcheng, taking the lead was just to boost the morale of the troops.

This time Chen Wang led the troops into battle just to better observe the situation and command the troops.

The Ten Thousand People's Army has many infantry, but the cavalry is weak. With three thousand armored cavalry, it is enough to protect itself.

The only threats outside the city are a few artillery positions.

Regarding these artillery positions, Chen Wang had already sent troops to destroy them from the beginning. Before leaving the city, the threat had already been eliminated.

Just before leaving the city, Chen Wang had already detached his troops to destroy the artillery positions of the Wanmin Army. These were all planned in advance.

As the horses leaped, Chen Wang could see the situation on the battlefield.

The siege troops of the Wanmin Army had collapsed and were driven back by the armored cavalry of the Hanzhong Army.

The main force behind the Ten Thousand People's Army, the main force of the Ten Thousand People's Army led by Li Yan, was also in panic at this time.

In the southwest, smoke was billowing and filled with gunpowder smoke. People's voices and horses were neighing, and shadows were blurred. It seemed that a fierce battle was taking place.

Gao Qian's side seemed to be in a tough fight.

Immediately afterwards, several plumes of thick smoke rose again from the southwest of the Ten Thousand People's Army formation. This was the signal for the joint attack previously agreed with Gao Qian.

Chen Wang stared at the black smoke rising to the southwest, his eyes shining brightly.

……

In the west of Kaifeng City, the main force of the Ten Thousand People's Army formed.

Li Yan put his helmet on his head and pulled his horse, standing on the earth platform, looking at the chaotic formation ahead.

The defeat of the siege troops ahead seemed to be within Li Yan's expectation and did not move him much.

Li Yan also turned a blind eye to the chaos in the southwest.

Song Xiance, who was standing aside, looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel satisfied.

It is said that Chen Wang is a famous general in the world, but now it seems that he is not more than that, and he can't help but say something.

"If we can defeat the Hanzhong Army this time, the officers and soldiers will probably change their colors after hearing the name of our Ten Thousand People's Army!"
