There was a shortage of food in Kaifeng City, and the reinforcements were defeated by the Chuang Army, which made the defenders in Kaifeng City fall into despair, and Gao Mingheng, the governor of Henan, in order to reverse the defeat, came up with the strategy of breaking the river and filling the thieves, which ended up with the thieves.

It's just that Gao Mingheng didn't expect that the official army was defeated in Zhuxian Town, the city's foreign aid was cut off, and Kaifeng City, which was originally monolithic, had already been shaken by the people's hearts, and the official army's plan had not yet been implemented, and the news had already leaked out, and Li Zicheng was secretly informed.

The Yellow River is an above-ground river, and its bed is far higher than the ground, and once it breaks, it will suffer both inside and outside the city.

At this time, many people in the city had no hope of guarding Kaifeng, and he was worried that the flood would flood the city and flood their family business and take their lives, so he leaked the news to the Chuang army.

Li Zicheng besieged Kaifeng for more than half a year, and the food in Kaifeng City was exhausted, and the food for the invading army was about to run out.

Not long ago, Luo Rucai ran out of food, so he wanted to leave the camp, Li Zi gave him a little grain and grass, and promised that the land east of Kaifeng would be owned by him, and Luo Rucai continued to stay, so that the group of thieves did not disperse.

Li Zicheng can have the current momentum, and his power far surpasses that of Zhang Xianzhong, because he has gathered many thieves, more than one million people, and there are so many people that the officials and soldiers dare not look at it and dare not provoke it.

With such a large volume, the officers and soldiers practiced with him individually, and no one was his opponent, so he was able to defeat Zuo Liangyu.

It's just that although the strength of the number of people is strong, the cost is also very huge.

At this time, although Li Zicheng defeated the official army in Zhuxian Town and had no external threat, he actually gritted his teeth to support it, and there was not much food for him to continue the siege.

He saw that if it dragged on any longer, the people's hearts would be disheartened, and the grain would be exhausted, and the news that the official army was going to break the river made him also think about breaking the river and irrigating the city.

In fact, Li Zicheng had already planned to break the river to irrigate the city, but because he was reluctant to open the treasures in the city, he never had the intention of breaking the river.

Now that the army is running out of food, and if he can't fight it anymore, he can only withdraw from the siege of Feng.

This is the third time Li Zicheng has besieged Kaifeng, and he is absolutely unwilling to evacuate like this, so he has an urge to let it be destroyed if he can't get it.

Li Zicheng gave an order, and the camp outside Kaifeng City became active, and a large number of people began to move towards the heights.

Li Yan listened to the general's order, his face turned pale, his lips trembled, and it was obvious that Li Zicheng did not discuss the matter of breaking the river.

Gao Yihuan saw Li Yan's expression, as if he heard the sound of heartbreak, he knew that Li Yan helped Li Zicheng with the ideal of helping the world, and wanted to restore the stability of the world so that the people of Henan could get rid of their suffering, and he definitely didn't want to help Li Zicheng break the river and irrigate the city.

The river defense of the Yellow River has always been the focus of great efforts to control the river in all dynasties, which cost countless amounts of money, and there are special officials to control the river, in order to tame this big river, afraid that it will burst the embankment and overflow.

Once the Yellow River bursts, it will not only fill Kaifeng City, but will become a country within a radius of 100 miles, and millions of living beings will be wiped out.

Li Yan would never want to see this scene, which was obviously contrary to his thoughts. Suddenly, Li Yan reacted and immediately grabbed out of the tent.

Gao Yihuan looked at his hasty back and knew that Li Yan was going to find Li Zicheng, but since Li Zicheng didn't discuss with him, he obviously knew Li Yan's attitude for a long time, and he obviously knew Li Yan's attitude and decided to irrigate the city, which means that Li Yan will go to him now, and most likely nothing will come of it.

Gao Yihuan knew that Kaifeng would be broken by the Chuang army, but he didn't know how the Chuang army broke through Kaifeng.

When he heard that the river was pouring into the city, he was also shocked, and after Li Yan hurriedly snatched out the tent, he immediately reacted, and a picture of Baili Zeguo and a mournful landscape appeared in his mind.

Regarding the breach of the Yellow River, Gao Yihuan has two impressions, and the destructive power is very strong, causing deep disasters to the people.

The officials and soldiers wanted to break the river and die with the thieves, Li Zicheng wanted to break the river and destroy Kaifeng City, and the two forces did not consider the living beings in Henan and regarded the people as grass mustard, which made Gao Yihuan feel indignant.

At this time, outside the camp tent, there was a lot of noise, Gao Yihuan instantly sobered up, and hurriedly helped the old man up, "Dad, water and fire are ruthless, let's go to a high place." ”

Gao Yihuan and Gao Zurong immediately left the camp tent, and the camp was already busy, and countless soldiers wrapped in cyan turbans pushed the vehicles and followed this large group of people and horses to evacuate to the north and west respectively.

Kaifeng is located in the plain, a horse and a flat river, once the consequences of the break are unimaginable, Gao Yihuan hurriedly helped Gao Zurong, and Zhao Zhuzi and others converged, and then walked west with the army.

Millions of troops under Kaifeng City, like ants moving on a rainy day, have moved to high places.

At this time, looking down from the sky, the ground is densely packed with people, and the scene is very spectacular.

The crowd hurried all the way, walked thirty or forty miles to the west, retreated to the vicinity of Guandu, and then went up to a raised high ground.

At this time, Li Zicheng was driving tens of thousands of people to break the Yellow River, the river embankment collapsed suddenly, and the thieves who broke the embankment washed away nearly 1,000 people on the spot, and the turbulent Yellow River water, the sound was like thunder, poured into the city from the north gate of Kaifeng, and flowed out from the southeast gate.

The water of the Yellow River rushed down at a high level, the water in the city rose in a moment, where the river passed, the trees fell, the houses were flooded, the people in the city drowned more than 100,000 people, and even the palace of the king of Zhou was also submerged, and the kings and their dependents could only live on the roof.

The water and fire are ruthless, Kaifeng City was instantly flooded, and the heads of the people in the city struggled and rose in the water, and the desperate cries for help were like hell on earth.

Gao Yihuan and Gao Zurong and others were heading towards the bulge, and suddenly thunder rolled behind them, Gao Yihuan turned his head to look, and saw a yellowed white wave sweeping over in the distance, and the army running behind let out a burst of exclamation, and rushed to the high ground, but the water came too quickly, and still swept away many people.

Gao Yihuan stood on the high ground, and the water washed over in a moment, and then continued to rush around the high slope.

As far as the eye could see, the wilderness and villages to the east were flooded, and the inhabitants had to climb onto the roofs, but if no one came to the rescue, their fate was predictable, and they would either fall and drown or starve to death on the roofs.

Gao Yihuan looked at the water, and the figure struggling in the water, a burst of grief and indignation in his heart, Li Zicheng decided the Yellow River, flooding hundreds of miles of people, the dead are uncountable, so vicious, it will definitely not be a big deal~

The second brother originally wanted to hope that Li Zicheng would be able to complete the transformation, change from a rogue to a regime, resist the attack of the Manchus, and let him at least not lose too quickly, but seeing the scene in front of him, the second brother Gao no longer had expectations for this rogue leader, and even hoped that he would die sooner.
