Knock knock!

The next day, as soon as the sky was overcast, there were bursts of dull drums outside Kaifeng City, and the soldiers of the White Dragon Army who had rested all night came out of the camp and prepared to attack Kaifeng.

And they don't even need to spend time building siege equipment, when Li Zicheng's army evacuated yesterday, he left a large number of siege equipment, all of which were received by the White Dragon Army.

The sound of drums outside the city soon alarmed Chen Yongfu in the city.

In fact, Chen Yongfu didn't sleep well this night, not only did he send his henchmen to guard the south gate in person, but he himself didn't take off his armor all night, and slept in the mansion.

"Drumming? It's not good, could it be that Li Zixiao's men and horses are starting to attack the city, let's go, hurry to the south city gate. ”

After Chen Yongfu was awakened by the sound of drums outside the city, he immediately led people to rush towards the south city gate.

When Chen Yongfu came to open the southern city gate, he found that the White Dragon Army was still in formation outside the city, but it had not yet launched an attack.

"He's really here!"

At the moment when he saw the 30,000 soldiers of the White Dragon Army outside the city, Chen Yongfu also trembled in his heart.

"How's it going? Li Zixiao launched a siege? ”

Soon, Ding Qirui and Gao Mingheng also rushed to the south gate tower in a hurry, and Ding Qirui shouted eagerly.

"You can't fight, you can't fight!"

When Ding Qirui lay on the battlement of the city wall and looked out of the city, he also showed a panicked look and shouted in his mouth.

"Chen Yongfu, order Li Zixiao's men and horses to enter the city, this battle can't be fought." Ding Qirui immediately looked at Chen Yongfu and spoke.

After hearing Ding Qirui's words, Chen Yongfu's face was ugly, and he did not respond to Ding Qirui immediately.

"De'er, how are the people in the city gathered?" Chen Yongfu instead asked his son Chen De behind him.

"Back to my father, the remaining 8,300 soldiers in the city have all been gathered, except for more than 2,000 people under General Yang, who have not accepted our orders."

Chen De looked at Chen Yongfu and replied respectfully.

After Chen Yongfu heard his son's words, he couldn't help but look around, but found that only Ding Qirui and Gao Mingheng came, but he didn't see Yang Wenyue.

"What about General Yang? Why haven't you seen him yet? Chen Yongfu asked coldly.

"Report, Lord Qiyu, just now, General Yang led his two thousand soldiers out of the city from the north."

At this time, a Ming soldier who came from the north gate of Kaifeng came to Chen Yongfu to report.

"What!" After Chen Yongfu heard this, he was also angry.

I have to say Yang Wenyue's decisiveness here, he knows that next, he will continue to stay in Kaifeng City, once Chen Yongfuzhen and Li Zixiao tear their faces, Li Zixiao's army will launch a siege battle.

If he still led the remaining 2,000 people under his command to continue to stay in Kaifeng City, he would definitely not be able to stay alone at that time.

Because at that time, Chen Yongfu would never allow him to be left alone, and he would inevitably pull him to his chariot.

Therefore, early this morning, when Yang Wenyue heard the sound of drums outside the city, he took his two thousand soldiers and went straight to the north gate of Kaifeng, and then forced the guards of the north gate to open the city gate and let them leave.

And just now, in Chen Yongfu's heart, he really wanted to send someone to put Yang Wenyue under house arrest, so as to blackmail Lu Teng, so that Lu Teng could lead the two thousand soldiers under him to help them resist Li Zixiao's attack.

"This surnamed Yang is really not a thing, betraying us at a critical moment."

Chen De was also very dissatisfied with Yang Wenyue's unauthorized departure at this time, and cursed loudly, not caring at all that there were Ding Qirui and Gao Mingheng and others around.

Chen De, as Chen Yongfu's son, of course, knows best what his Lao Tzu is going to do, and he knows that Chen Yongfu will never let Li Zixiao's army enter the city today.

They had already prepared last night, and today they will deal with the real siege of Li Zixiao's army.

"Okay, De'er, without him Yang Wenyue, we can also defend this Kaifeng City, Li Zicheng couldn't beat it before, and this time he Li Zixiao is the same.

You go down and make arrangements, cooperate with General Han to prepare, and once Li Zixiao's men and horses really dare to attack the city, they will fight Lao Tzu back. ”

Now, Chen Yongfu had no scruples, and ordered to Chen De.

"Lord Chen, don't do it! At this time, it seems that maybe Li Zixiao is really seriously ill, otherwise his subordinates would not be so desperate.

At this time, we must not kill each other, order the city gate to be opened, and let Li Zixiao's men and horses enter the city. ”

After Gao Mingheng heard Chen Yongfu's order, his face also changed suddenly, knowing that Chen Yongfu was determined to fight Li Zixiao to the end, so he also stood up and persuaded him.

"Lord Gao, you don't need to say it, this official is responsible for the defense of Kaifeng.

The official will not allow any group of men and horses to enter the city without the order of the Holy One, not even if they are comrades. ”

At this time, Chen Yongfu looked at Gao Mingheng and said unceremoniously.

"Then, Chen Yongfu, now this official, in the name of the secretary of the military department, orders you to withdraw the order and open the city to welcome Li Zixiao's men and horses into the city."

Seeing that Gao Mingheng's persuasion was useless, Ding Qirui in the back finally couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up and tried to use the name of his military department to order Chen Yongfu and make him give up resistance.

After hearing Ding Qirui's words, a sneer appeared on the corner of Chen Yongfu's mouth, and he said, "Lord Ding, you have the will of the Holy Lord, if not, this official will not be able to accept your order."

Now the defense in Kaifeng City is still the final word of the official, and unless there is an order from the saint, it is not easy for anyone to speak.

Coming, the battle is about to start, the city wall is too dangerous, please invite Lord Ding and Master Gao down to protect their safety. ”

At this time, Chen Yongfu was already desperate, and he lost his previous respect for Ding Qirui, so he directly asked his guards to take Ding Qirui and Gao Mingheng down, which was considered a disguised house arrest.

"Chen Yongfu, if you do this, you will regret it.

That Li Zixiao is not a good person, if you really use force with him, it's okay to hold it in the end, if you can't hold it, let him attack it, he will kill you. ”

Gao Mingheng still didn't give up, and finally wanted to persuade Chen Yongfu, but Chen Yongfu didn't listen at all.

Immediately, several of Chen Yongfu's cronies forcibly brought Ding Qirui and Gao Mingheng down the city wall.

At this time, outside the city, Li Zixiao stayed in the tent and did not come out, and it was Qi Wei who was responsible for commanding the White Dragon Army outside.

Soon, Qi Wei sent Qin Zhen to tell Li Zixiao.

So far, the city has not sent anyone to talk to them, but the city wall of Kaifeng is crowded, and many soldiers have already gone to the city wall.

"It seems that Chen Yongfu has made up his mind, since this is the case, don't blame me for not thinking about my colleagues.

Go and tell Qi Wei to let him lead people to attack the city, after the city is broken, Chen Yongfu should not stay, and all his cronies should not stay. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will go and inform General Qi."

Qin Zhen knelt down under Li Zixiao, and after hearing Li Zixiao's words, he immediately responded.

Soon, Qin Zhen passed Li Zixiao's order to him, and Qi Wei immediately looked at Kaifeng City, and ordered in a cold voice: "Order artillery, start shelling, notify Li Tianba and Han Tong, and prepare to attack the city." ”

Boom Boom!

A moment later, the hundreds of artillery pieces of the White Dragon Army outside the city began to roar, and one by one explosive bombs fell on the Kaifeng city wall.

"Ahhh

With the bombardment of the White Dragon Army's artillery, the screams of the Ming soldiers immediately sounded on the Kaifeng city wall.

In fact, Chen Yongfu and his Ming army in Kaifeng have never encountered such artillery as the White Dragon Army, and you must know that the artillery of the White Dragon Army is not a solid bullet, but an explosive bomb.

In the past, when the Kaifeng defenders faced Li Zicheng's thief army attack, although they would also suffer from the few artillery bombardments in Li Zicheng's hands.

However, the artillery in Li Zicheng's hands was all captured from the Ming army, and all the bullets fired were solid, as long as they dodged, they would not cause damage to the soldiers.

And this time, they were all defenseless at first in the face of the explosive bombs fired by the White Dragon Army's artillery, and they suffered a big loss at once.

They obviously looked far away from the falling shell, and those Ming soldiers thought it was okay, but then there was an explosion, and they were miserable.

After the explosive bomb exploded, sharp objects such as iron pieces and iron nails were shot out, causing serious damage to the already dense Ming soldiers on the city wall.

Especially some volleys of artillery shells, the damage is even more terrifying, after all, the explosive bombs of the White Dragon Army during this period, because of the problem of the lead, the explosion time is also long and short.

What's even more terrifying is that the White Dragon Army's hundreds of artillery pieces are bombarded at once, and the scene is much more spectacular than the twenty or thirty artillery pieces in Li Zicheng's hands.

"What's going on? What kind of shell is that, and how can it still explode? Chen Yongfu was also startled by the movement made by the White Dragon Army's artillery.

At the same time, he looked at many Ming soldiers who were injured and fell to the ground, holding their wounds and screaming, and his face instantly became gloomy.

"Lord Commander-in-Chief, my subordinates remember, the most powerful thing about Li Zixiao's men is firearms, they have thunderbolts that can explode, and firearms that can fire continuously."

At this time, a guard next to Chen Yongfu said to Chen Yongfu.

Obviously, this guard also heard about the White Dragon Army, and he couldn't say it clearly, very vaguely.

But at this time, Chen Yongfu didn't have time to take care of these, and there was no turning back when he started work, so he could only give an order and resist desperately.

Thundered!

In addition to the artillery of the White Dragon Army, at this time, in addition to the non-stop bombardment of the Kaifeng City Wall, the 30,000 foot soldiers of the White Dragon Army also lined up into five phalanxes and rushed towards the Kaifeng City Wall.

These white dragon soldiers held ladders and pushed cloud carts, which were also called building carts or nest carts.

The cloud car stopped sixty or seventy steps outside Kaifeng City, and at this distance, it was basically difficult for the Ming army's arrows to shoot them.

And immediately, on each cloud car, dozens of White Dragon Army musketeers could be carried.

They were sent by the cloud car to the Kaifeng city wall, which was about the same height, so that they could shoot at the Ming soldiers on the Kaifeng city wall.

If they were to stand under the city and shoot, it would not only affect their perspective.

At the same time, the archers of the Ming army standing on the city wall, with the advantage of height, were able to offset the advantage of the long range of their firearms and were able to shoot at them.

And now, with the help of cloud chariots, these musketeers have made up for the distance between them and the Ming archers on the Kaifeng city wall.

In this way, from a distance of sixty or seventy paces, they could shoot at the Ming soldiers on the Kaifeng city wall with flintlock pistols, but it was difficult for the Ming soldiers to shoot the musketeers of the White Dragon Army at this distance.

If they come, the musketeers of the White Dragon Army, as a support firepower, can design against the Ming soldiers on the Kaifeng city wall without any scruples to cover the siege of the White Dragon Army's foot soldiers.

When Li Zicheng's army left yesterday, there were eight of them, two of which were destroyed and unusable, and the remaining six were all pushed onto the battlefield by the White Dragon Army.

Six large cloud cars, carrying five or six hundred White Dragon Army musketeers, were scattered at a distance of hundreds of meters outside Kaifeng City, firing wildly at the Kaifeng City Wall.

And below them, there were thousands of White Dragon Army musketeers, who also kept shooting at the Ming soldiers on the Kaifeng city wall.

The artillery and muskets of the White Dragon Army provided dense fire cover for the White Dragon Army's foot soldiers, which greatly reduced the siege pressure of the White Dragon Army's foot soldiers.

Bang bang bang!

The crisp sound of muskets continued to sound, and the Ming soldiers on the Kaifeng city wall on the opposite side poured blood mold, as long as they dared to show their heads, they were easily hit by the projectiles shot by the musketeers of the White Dragon Army.

Even at a distance of sixty or seventy paces, the lead bullets fired from the flintlock pistol still had tremendous penetrating power, and they could easily penetrate the worn cotton armor of the transparent sergeants and penetrate their bodies.

"Ahhh

The screams kept sounding on the Kaifeng city wall.

But all the Ming soldiers who were shot, as long as they were not hit in the vital parts and died on the spot, all fell to the ground and screamed miserably with their wounds covered, and they completely lost their combat effectiveness.

Soon, those Ming soldiers were also frightened by the White Dragon Army musketeers who were shooting at them wantonly on the cloud car.

Many Ming soldiers simply hid under the city wall, not daring to show their heads.

If it weren't for Chen Yongfu's cronies to urge, they wouldn't have shown their heads to fight.

These Ming soldiers under Chen Yongfu, although in the ranks of the Ming army, which had long been decayed at this time, the Ming army under Chen Yongfu was enough to be called elite.

In particular, these more than 8,000 Ming soldiers who have experienced tragic offensive and defensive battles with Li Zicheng, and the surviving Ming soldiers are elite veterans, with fierce combat power.

Of course, at this time, on the Nankaifeng city wall attacked by Li Zixiao, there were only 5,000 Ming soldiers, and there were more than 3,000 people left, and Chen Yongfu needed to guard against other city wall directions.

But with these 5,000 elite veterans, Chen Yongfu has the confidence to resist the siege of tens of thousands of intruding army thieves.

But now, only half an hour has passed since the White Dragon Army began to attack the city, and Chen Yongfu saw that there were already White Dragon soldiers who had crossed the battlements of the city wall and boarded the Kaifeng City Wall.

"How can this be, how long has it been since they actually climbed the city wall."

Chen Yongfu in the gate tower of the south city of Kaifeng saw the two White Dragon Army foot soldiers who had just turned in at the battlements of a city wall dozens of meters away from him at this time, with a look of disbelief and exclaimed.

Chen Yongfu was directly beaten by the fierce and terrifying offensive of the White Dragon Army, and he couldn't believe that he was killed before the war began.
