"Cao Cao" Luo Rucai, who was captured and released by the "Red Flag Army", and Liu Guoneng, who "broke through the sky", saw the strength of the "Red Flag Army".

I personally realized the gap between the rogues and the "Red Banner Army", and there was no longer enthusiasm for rebellion.

After the autumn, when she learned that the "King of Han" had led the army into the customs after the defeat of Jiannu and the extinction of the country, she lost even more confidence.

This time, Luo Rucai was named to lead the army to follow Gao Yingxiang, and on the western front of Tongguan, Liu Guoneng led more than 10,000 men and horses to follow Li Zicheng on the eastern front.

They didn't have a trace of spirit, they had been thinking about defecting for a long time, they thought that the last time they were forced to surrender helplessly, so they couldn't get an official and a half-job, and were thrown out to change a few Ming vassal kings.

They are fed up with being thieves all day long, and this time they are going to come to a nest to get some credit, and strive to become the leader of the "Red Banner Army" in the future.

Gao Yingxiang was irritated when he learned that the offensive on the eastern front was blocked, and when he received the news that Hanzhong was surrounded, he did not drag his work, and ordered all his troops to drop their heavy siege equipment and retreat on the same day.

It is easy to come and difficult to go, the morale of the frustrated exiles is low, the number of fugitives is unknown, the house leaks are even cloudy and rainy, and bad news comes.

Without the opportunity to build slaves in a big war, Fang Liandong, who was depressed, had already led four battalions of Shanxi's "Red Banner Army" and ten guards with a total of 30,000 horses, crossed the Yellow River to the west, and captured Yan'an Mansion in one go, and took all 16 counties in three prefectures.

I didn't expect the people stationed in the place to be so vulnerable, Gao Yingxiang, who thought that he had the strength to compete for the world, was slapped in the face by reality, he had to make a choice, go north to block Fang Liandong's department from going south, or send troops to attack the Sichuan army to rescue the besieged Hanzhong?

After Li Zicheng received the retreat order from his father-in-law, he immediately retreated to the direction of Luoyang, at this time Zhao Shisan had completely controlled the entire Luoyang City, and he decided to take the method of closing the door and beating the dog to deal with Li Zicheng.

Jin Minghu was notified, and the "winged tigers" were actively preparing to strike back.

Hanzi, who was organizing the crossing of the river, also learned of Zhao Shisan's plan, and he immediately issued an order that the cavalry that had already crossed the river should assemble in the north of Luoyang.

At that time, he would personally lead all the cavalry that had been assembled to assault the Liukou outside Luoyang City, and plan for Zhao Shisan's beheading.

Li Zicheng is more cautious, he can't enter Luoyang City recklessly, and he will definitely bring his henchmen with him.

Zhao Shisan's plan is very simple, as long as he finds that Li Zicheng has entered the city, he will immediately cut off the gate of the city and the jack gate in the urn city to block the follow-up people and horses from entering the city, block the people and horses who have passed through the urn city to return to help, and then concentrate on attacking and killing Li Zicheng who fell into the urn city.

As long as Li Zicheng can be captured or killed on the spot, it will be able to seriously damage the morale of the rogues, and many rogue leaders will be shaken in their thinking.

The progress went smoothly, and the cunning Li Zicheng did not take the lead in fighting horses into the city, but sent his henchman Liu Fangliang to lead three thousand old battalions of iron cavalry into the city, and he led the Chinese army to follow closely behind.

When Li Zicheng had just passed through the city gate hole, and Liu Fangliang's three thousand men and horses had just passed through the urn city, two or three thousand people suddenly appeared on the city wall, hundreds of guns, small cannons, and thousands of firearms were fired, and the jack gate at the city gate fell suddenly.

"Kill Li Zicheng and defect to the 'Red Flag Army' to have a bright future!"

"There is no future for thieves, sooner or later they will die, brothers, turn against you!"

The "winged tiger" department outside Luoyang City shouted and rushed to Li Zicheng's descendants who were cut off by the jack gate, and suddenly there was a change, and the "Geli Eye" department and the "Shooting the Sky" department were dumbfounded, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"Breaking through the sky" Liu Guineng's reaction was okay, he immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, follow Lao Tzu and capture Li Zicheng, Tian Jianxiu, and Hao Shaoqi to defect to the 'Red Flag Army'!" ”

The outside of the city suddenly fell into a scuffle, and the first reaction of too many rogue leaders was not to wave their knives desperately, but to immediately lead the horse team to escape, striving to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

The reason why Zhao Shisan personally calculated Li Zicheng was because the merit of killing Li Zicheng was one of the first achievements in suppressing Kou.

It is possible that because of Huang Han's crossing, Li Zicheng, who was in Chongzhen's thirteenth year, was no longer as lucky as in history.

He has the highest status on the East Road, riding a high-headed horse like the stars holding the moon, the target is obvious, Zhao Shisan, Han Manzhi personally participated in the shooting, there are thousands of guns, dozens of small cannons, more than 100 guns are all to Li Zicheng's side to greet him.

In history, Xiaoqiang, who could not be killed, was not strong, and even the people and horses were beaten to a thousand holes, and they died on the spot, and several henchmen and generals around him and more than 100 personal guards were also affected by the pond fish.

The more than 1,000 rogues who were trapped in the urn city could not fight, but were slaughtered by one-sided slaughter, and after several rounds of gunfire attacks, the surviving rogues all cried out loudly.

"Brothers, don't fight, the 'general' has been killed, we surrender......"

The melee outside Luoyang City did not last long, because Hanzi arrived at the battlefield in time with more than 10,000 "Red Banner Army" iron cavalry.

There was a huge disparity in strength, and the "Red Banner Army" really used a knife to kill the rogues, and the dust was settled, capturing no less than 50,000 rogues, and leaving less than 10,000 corpses on the battlefield, the vast majority of which were Li Zicheng's descendants.

Liu Fangliang, who was blocked in Luoyang City, took the old battalion horse bandits that Li Zicheng had painstakingly operated for many years to resist stubbornly, but after falling into street fighting, the advantage of cavalry no longer existed, and the guns of the "Winged Tiger" took advantage of it.

In addition, Zhao Shisan cut off Li Zicheng's head and put it on a bamboo pole, indicating the identity of the "Red Flag Army" to persuade him to surrender, shaking some horse thieves, and the resistance of the rogues became weaker and weaker.

The last straw that broke the camel's back was that Liu Fangliang was shot and killed by a few snipers in the "winged tiger" department, and the more than 1,500 surviving old battalion horse bandits knew that they could not escape, so they had to choose to surrender.

Pei Daneng and Sheng Yuhua had already led dozens of flag guards to infiltrate Kaifeng City to contact the old subordinates who were lurking in the early stage, and the flag guards who broke into the rogue were basically mixed with one official and one half-post, and they also rebelled against many rogues.

After Zhang Shouzhong led thousands of men and horses of the "Winged Tiger" to enter Kaifeng, it only took three days to basically control this big city.

Therefore, the situation in Kaifeng is even better than that of Luoyang, which is equivalent to going down without a fight, and thousands of Liukou have become prisoners anyway.

The situation became clearer in the next few days, and the main reason was, of course, that the 200,000 horses on the north bank of the Yellow River crossed the river one after another, and that there were 60,000 or 70,000 more elite cavalry and more than 100,000 infantry on the battlefield in the Central Plains, including 30,000 people equipped with bicycles.

Hanzi, Sun Chuanting, and Chen Qiyu learned that Li Zicheng, the main general of Liukou East Road, was the head, and they all thought that there would be no more major events in Henan.

Leaving Zhang Yang, Shang Keyi and other generals to assist Zhao Kun, Gu Rushan and other generals to clear the remnants of the Liukou in Henan, Hanzi, Sun Chuanting and other civil and military generals led 50,000 iron cavalry and 50,000 infantry through Tongguan to pursue Gao Yingxiang.
