It's really no wonder that these Ming soldiers are not strong, but they have never encountered this siege style of the White Dragon Army, and they have been completely suppressed.
In addition, a large part of these Ming soldiers actually didn't want to fight this battle.
After all, they fought with Li Zicheng before to protect the family, which made them dare to fight hard.
But now, the thieves have been repulsed, but they have to fight with the reinforcements who came to their rescue, which makes them puzzled.
After all, Chen Yongfu couldn't tell these Ming soldiers that he was fighting with the reinforcements outside the city in order to keep the power in his hands and didn't want Li Zixiao's army to enter the city.
Anyway, these Ming soldiers didn't want to fight, and they would encounter such a fierce offensive from the White Dragon Army again.
Later, those smart Ming soldiers and soldiers directly hid behind the city wall, gave up resistance, and let the white dragon soldiers attack the city wall.
"Those who descend will not be killed, we will only punish the culprit."
This is the slogan shouted by the white dragon soldiers after they attacked the Kaifeng city wall, trying to finally break the resistance of those Ming soldiers.
I have to say that this slogan of the White Dragon Army really played a lot of roles.
After seeing the White Dragon soldiers attacking the city wall, many Ming soldiers directly put down their weapons and chose to surrender.
"Lord Commander, no, I can't hold it, the enemy has attacked from the western wall, and many soldiers have surrendered."
Soon, a guard ran to Chen Yongfu and reported with a panicked face.
"You dare to shake the morale of the army, kill!"
Facing the guard who asked for help, Chen Yongfu directly snorted coldly, and the long sword in his hand slashed down, killing him.
Immediately, Chen Yongfu looked at the five hundred soldiers behind him, these five hundred people were Chen Yongfu's cronies, and they were also the most loyal to him.
"Brethren, now is the most critical moment, kill the past and drive the enemy down."
"Kill!"
These five hundred cronies soon let Chen Yongfu devote himself to the battlefield of the city wall to prevent the White Dragon soldiers from landing on the city one after another.
"Father, let me go too!" At this time, Chen De asked Chen Yongfu to fight.
"What's the matter, you listen to Lao Tzu now, immediately take your cronies back to the house, take your mother, and all the gold and silver in the family, go out of the city from the north gate, and leave here."
At this time, Chen Yongfu already knew that this time he underestimated the combat power of the White Dragon Army, Kaifeng City could not hold it, and he began to think of a way out for his family.
"Father, what about you?" Chen De asked.
"I can't leave, Li Zixiao won't let me go, only if I stay, can I give you a chance to escape.
Go, son, this time your father is defeated, and you have to protect your mother and your younger brothers and sisters to escape smoothly, and then flee to the capital. ”
At this moment, Chen Yongfu even flashed a trace of regret in his heart, looked at Chen De, and said.
"Father, if you don't go, neither will the child." Chen De burst into tears and said in a choked voice.
"Get out." Chen Yongfu kicked Chen De out and roared angrily.
Immediately, Chen De looked at Chen Yongfu unwillingly, but in the end, he still did not disobey Chen Yongfu, and turned around and left with a few cronies.
"Kill!"
With the help of artillery and musket suppression, more White Dragon soldiers climbed the Kaifeng city wall, and the soldiers on both sides also launched hand-to-hand combat.
As a result, Qi Wei had to order the artillery battalion to stop bombarding, and even the musketeers on the cloud car all stopped shooting, otherwise they would accidentally injure the white dragon soldiers who climbed the city wall.
Not all Ming soldiers are war-weary, just like some of Chen Yongfu's cronies, they still fight very hard.
"Kill!"
Li Tianba has also led people to kill the city wall, and his pair of big copper hammers are simply big killing weapons, rubbing whoever they wipe, they will not die or be disabled.
Under the leadership of Li Tianba, the White Dragon soldiers quickly expanded their occupation on the Kaifeng city wall at a very fast speed.
"Dog thief, I'll kill you!"
On the city wall, Han Qingshi, a general under Chen Yongfu, saw Li Tianba chopping melons and vegetables like those Ming soldiers, roared angrily, held his big knife, and rushed towards Li Tianba.
"Hehe, another one came to send him to death, Lao Tzu accepted it."
When Li Tianba saw Han Qingshi roaring towards him, a sneer appeared on his face and he strode forward.
While!
Han Qingshi's long knife slashed down fiercely, but it was easily blocked by Li Tianba with a copper hammer, making a crisp sound.
Then in the next second, Li Tianba's other big copper hammer slashed directly towards Han Qingshi.
Han Qingshi's face panicked, and then he wanted to raise his knife to block.
While! Peng!
Poof!
First there was a metallic trill, then a muffled sound.
Li Tianba's hammer was terrifying, first knocking away the long knife in Han Qingshi's hand, and then slamming it heavily on his chest, directly smashing his chest into depression, and blood sprayed wildly.
"Cut, it's really vulnerable."
Looking at Han Qingshi, who fell softly at his feet, Li Tianba smiled disdainfully and said.
On the other side, Han Tong also led hundreds of white dragon soldiers and soldiers to kill the gate tower of the south city of Kaifeng, because Han Tong found Chen Yongfu.
"Hey, Lao Han, the one surnamed Chen is left to Lao Tzu!"
Li Tianba, who had just killed Han Qingshi, was far away, and when he saw that Han Tong had already killed Chen Yongfu, he shouted anxiously.
In the distance, when Han Tong heard Li Tianba's loud roar, he also looked at him, showed him a smug smile, and led people to kill faster.
"Old Han, you're not authentic. Kill! Li Tianba yelled again, then raised the copper hammer and rushed towards Chen Yongfu's side
"Get out of the way!"
Any Ming soldiers who tried to stop him along the way couldn't bear his hammer at all, and in the end, those Ming soldiers were scared, and no one was willing to stop Li Tianba anymore.
At this time, less than three hours had passed since the White Dragon Army officially began to attack the city, and the White Dragon Army had already entered Kaifeng City.
At this time, in the battle on the Kaifeng city wall, the White Dragon Army was gaining the upper hand at an extremely fast speed, and it was only a matter of time before it won.
Soon, Han Tong was the first to kill Chen Yongfu, and at this time, Chen Yongfu had already chosen to give up and escape, and chose to fight until the last moment, which can be regarded as backbone.
Of course, Chen Yongfu still held on to the last trace of luck in his heart, and he thought that Li Zixiao's subordinates should not kill him.
Anyway, how to say it, he Chen Yongfu is also a second-class member of the imperial court, Li Zixiao has to take care of his identity, at most, he is just a prisoner and imprisons him.
Therefore, he did not choose to run away with his family, his goal was too big.
Dangdang!
After Chen Yongfu cut down the two white dragon sergeants, it was convenient for Han Tong to fight together.
Chen Yongfu's martial arts are good, even if he achieves the position of the chief soldier, he has not fallen behind in the practice of martial arts, and he can still be on par with Han Tong in a short period of time.
But after the two exchanged more than a dozen moves, Han Tong suddenly changed his move, seriously injuring Chen Yongfu.
After all, Han Tong can be appointed by Li Zixiao as a scout battalion general, of course, he still has some real skills.
After seriously injuring Chen Yongfu, Han Tong's offensive did not slow down, but became more violent, and his moves were all nirvana.
Han Tong had already received Li Zixiao's order to kill Chen Yongfu, so at this time, he fought and took his life, without sparing the slightest.
"I lost."
Eventually, Chen Yongfu was defeated by Han Tong and fell to the ground, Han Tong's spear against his throat.
"If you lose, then die!"
At this time, Han Tong had a killing intent in his eyes, and then gently sent the spear in his hand forward.
The sharp tip of the spear pierced directly into Chen Yongfu's throat.
Chen Yongfu's throat was pierced, his eyes widened instantly, his eyes were full of disbelief, he couldn't have imagined that Han Tong would kill him directly so simply.
"Hey! I'm so angry. ”
And at this time, Li Tianba, who finally rushed all the way, was also annoyed when he saw Han Tong stabbing Chen Yongfu to death.
"Hehe, big old black, I'm sorry, I came first, and I got lucky."
Han Tong smiled proudly and said to Li Tianba.
"Humph! Kill! ”
Li Tianba snorted dissatisfiedly, then roared angrily, turned around and killed the other Ming generals who were still resisting, venting the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Poof!
Then, Han Tong directly cut off Chen Yongfu's head with a dagger, raised it high, and shouted loudly at the Ming generals and soldiers on the surrounding city walls: "Chen Yongfu has been killed, you still don't surrender!" I want to bury him! ”
Hearing Han Tong's roar, the surrounding Ming soldiers looked over, and when they saw Chen Yongfu's head raised high in Han Tong's hand, they completely gave up resistance.
At this point, Kaifeng City was conquered by the White Dragon, and the Kaifeng City that Li Zixiao dreamed of finally fell into his hands.
"Report, General Qiyu, report from the front line, Kaifeng City has been broken by us."
A moment later, Li Zixiao got the good news from a white dragon sergeant who came down from the front line to report.
"So fast, haha, great, Kaifeng City belongs to Lao Tzu."
When Li Zixiao heard the report of the white dragon sergeant, he was also shocked, and then laughed and shouted.
Li Zixiao never thought that Qi Wei would lead people to Kaifeng so quickly, which was much less than the three days estimated by Qi Wei before the war.
It took less than three hours, and only one morning, for the White Dragon Army to win.
"Report, the front line returns, General Han personally killed Chen Yongfu, all the Kaifeng defenders surrendered, and we won."
"Good, good, good! You go back and tell Qi Wei that after he leads the army into the city, he will immediately follow my previous instructions to clean up Chen Yongfu's previous henchmen and cronies, and leave no one behind. ”
"Yes!"
"I want to do it once and for all, and take this opportunity to uproot the minions left behind by Chen Yongfu in Kaifeng City, so that I can quickly and practically control Kaifeng City.
Maybe this time I would like to thank Chen Yongfu, if he doesn't stop me from entering the city, I will give me this opportunity to clean up the hostile forces in Kaifeng in one fell swoop! ”
After the messenger left, Li Zixiao said to himself with a bright smile on his face.
"Let's go, stone, assemble the guard camp, we're ready to enter the city."
Soon after, Li Zixiao put on armor, called quartz, and prepared to enter Kaifeng City.
And in front, as Han Tong and Li Tianba completely occupied the south gate of Kaifeng, they immediately sent people to open the city gate and let the soldiers of the White Dragon Army outside the city enter the city.
But at this time, the battle was not over, Qi Wei, Han Tong and Li Tianba and other generals of the White Dragon Army immediately led their troops to hunt down and kill Chen Yongfu's cronies in the city.
The shouting and killing in Kaifeng City also continued, and ordinary people were all hiding at home, and they did not dare to come out at this time.
And the White Dragon Army led by Qi Wei did not commit any offence against ordinary people.
Based on the information provided to them by Zhang Fugui, they killed Chen Yongfu's mansion in the city, as well as Chen Yongfu's cronies.
Outside the northern city of Kaifeng, a team of hundreds of people fled north at a rapid pace, it was the Chen family protected by Chen De, and some of the cronies and family members who followed them.
It's a pity that when they escaped from Kaifeng City for several miles, they found that there was a White Dragon Army cavalry, cutting off their way.
"Hehe, the general's expectation is good, pass the order down, don't leave a mouth alive, kill!"
Luo Chao sneered and ordered the cavalry of the Flying Eagle Battalion behind him.
"Kill!"
Thundered!
Immediately, the cavalry of the Flying Eagle Battalion, of more than 1,000 people, rushed into the fleeing team led by Chen De like a black dragon, and the screams soon sounded.
"No!" Chen De roared.
Although there were four or five hundred people in his team, two-thirds of them were the families of the Chen family and other Ming generals, and the remaining one-third were soldiers.
In the face of the more than 1,000 cavalry of the Flying Eagle Battalion led by Luo Chao, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, this was a massacre without suspense.
It's a pity that in the face of the sharp saber of the Flying Eagle Cavalry, Chen De's roar could not stop all this.
He could only watch his relatives and friends around him fall one by one, and finally even he himself fell.
In order to prevent these remnants from escaping, Li Zixiao scattered the three White Dragon Army cavalry of Qi Wei, Luo Chao and Zhao Zilong to the east, west and north of Kaifeng City, guarding the rabbit.
Anyway, these three cavalry are not suitable for attacking the city, and the siege of the city can be handed over to Li Zixiao's 30,000 foot soldiers.
In the end, let Luo Chao, who was guarding the north of the city, wait for Chen De's remnants of the escape, while the other two directions returned in vain.
By the end of the afternoon, Qi Wei had basically cleaned up the city, and most of Chen Yongfu's cronies and the rest of the Ming army had also surrendered.
The White Dragon Army completely controlled the entire Kaifeng City, and then Li Zixiao took Quartz and others into Kaifeng.
When Li Zixiao rode over the moat of Kaifeng, passed through the tall Kaifeng City Cave, and entered Kaifeng City, he was very emotional in his heart.
"It's been three years, Kaifeng City, from now on, it's my Li Zixiao's." Li Zixiao said in a deep voice.
From Li Zixiao's illusion about Kaifeng City, to the later he successively sent troops to Ruzhou, and fought several battles with Li Zicheng, all to protect Kaifeng.
And today, Li Zixiao forced Li Zicheng away, and then defeated Chen Yongfu and successfully entered Kaifeng.
Li Zixiao is plotting to seize Kaifeng, the 'first city in the Central Plains', and the effort he has spent and the men and horses he has used have exceeded any city he has ever stolen.
But when Li Zixiao unexpectedly opened the seal and looked at this prosperous ancient city, he knew that all the efforts were worth it, and the rewards were even more amazing.
