A small soldier portal of the border army at the end of the Ming Dynasty

More than 1,000 people from the Shunxiang army lined up, and there was not a single sound, and the power like a mountain expanded, making people feel suffocated.

All the officials in Luoyang are respectful and awe-inspiring, and Chen Yongfu is also hot-eyed, if he has such a strong army, the position of Henan General Army is at his fingertips.

Soon after, Chen Yongfu's subordinates were also assembled, in addition to the 500 soldiers left behind, more than 1,500 ordinary battalion soldiers, and more than 500 family soldiers, they were also lined up on the right side of the Shunxiang army. Although their armor and equipment are not as sophisticated as those of the Shunxiang army, they are also high-spirited and full of anticipation for the upcoming war.

The people of Luoyang City have long been alarmed, last night Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai rebelled, everyone did not sleep well for a night, and all kinds of gossip were flying all over the sky. I got up this morning, and before everyone could digest what happened last night, the shocking news came again, the Shunxiang army successfully attacked at night, and today I will go out of the city for a decisive battle and completely defeat the thieves outside the city.

No one organized, and the residents of all the squares in Luoyang City came out consciously, and the families crowded next to the streets to see off.

When the sky is bright, the streets and alleys are already filled with a tide of people. They watched the soldiers of the forward battalion and the Shunxiang Army go out of the city one by one, and their eyes were full of expectation, hoping that the officers and soldiers would win a great victory in this battle and completely protect the peace of Luoyang City.

At the end of the day, all the troops were assembled, and surrounded by guards, Wang Dou and others went down to the city tower, but they saw that the area around the north gate and North Street was already crowded with people, and it was impossible to tell how many Luoyang residents were crowded here, and even the roofs in this area were full of people.

Seeing Wang Dou and Chen Yongfu coming, the tidal cheers sounded, and countless people shouted: "I wish General Wang, General Chen a great victory, and kill the thieves without leaving a single piece of armor." ā€

Wang Dou and Chen Yongfu dragged their fists, which attracted a lot of noise, and under the attention of everyone, even Wang Yinchang and the officials behind Wang Dou and others had a reserved and solemn expression.

Walking outside the city gate, not far from his army, Wang Dou stopped, looking back at the majestic figure of the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties, and the bits and pieces of Luoyang City during this time came to his heart. It is undeniable that although his original intention of sending troops was only to gain fame and achievements in Luoyang and other places, this land still left him unforgettable memories.

Facing the city and the flow of people in front of him, Wang Dou made a deep gesture.

When he raised his head, Wang Dou showed a determined look in his eyes: "The matter of Luoyang should be completely closed." ā€

He drew his sword sharply and shouted, "Victory!" ā€

"Victory!"

The 7,000 soldiers of the Shunxiang Army and the Forward Battalion drew their blades and roared in unison, the sound shook the sky, and the long knives and sharp spears pierced the sky.

"Victory!"

Chen Yongfu raised his sword high, his expression hideous. Chen De, Xie Yike and the others brandished their blades and roared loudly, their faces distorted.

"Victory!"

The prince Zhu Youchu's blood was boiling, and he raised his fists violently and screamed.

His voice startled the officials of Wang Yinchang beside him, and he didn't wait for them to speak. The sound of a landslide and a crack exploded in their ears, but the entire army and people of Luoyang City were driven, and countless soldiers and civilians roared, and finally swept the whole city, like a tsunami like a tsunami.

"What sound?"

In the old camp of the breaking army, Li Zicheng woke up suddenly and looked in the direction of Luoyang City in disbelief.

Last night, Liu Jianyi and others failed to deal with each other, which dealt a great blow to him and his subordinates, and not long after returning to Xiguan, there was news that Jianshan was lost.

There was a thunderclap on the ground, which made Li Zicheng almost faint. Jianshan hoarded a large amount of grain and grass for the invading army, accounting for at least half of the entire army. The importance of grain and grass is self-evident, and there is a way to plan poison is better than running out of food, and if you lose grain and grass, there is a danger of rout in the army, especially at this juncture when military defeats are repeated. …,

Li Zicheng personally led the old battalion soldiers to Jianshan, and did not care about punishing the henchmen Tian Jianxiu and Liu Xiyao, who guarded the grain and grass, and the command headquarters wanted to take back the grain and grass, but the Ming army of the department was extremely tenacious, leaving a lot of corpses at the foot of Jianshan, and they could not attack the mountain one step.

It was not until the sky was slightly bright, and Li Zicheng, who was exhausted, was persuaded by his subordinates to return to the Fujiatun camp where the old battalion soldiers and horses were originally stationed to rest, and did not return to Xiguan, but commanded the battle nearby. Unexpectedly, not long after lying down, he was awakened by the earth-shattering roar from Luoyang City.

Meanwhile.

"The general's men are dispatched."

On the Jianshan Mountain, the air was filled with a thick bloody atmosphere, the corpses of all kinds of invading troops were everywhere in the east and west, the shouts of Luoyang City were faintly audible, looking in that direction, Wen Fangliang's handsome face showed a solemn expression, "Is the big war coming?" "The officers and soldiers are pouring out, and the main force is Wang Dou's Shunxiang army?"

Soon the sentry cavalry was in waves, and reported all the movements of Luoyang City to Li Zicheng, he was first shocked, and the officers and soldiers poured out of the nest in the case of successive defeats of the righteous army, and the comers were not good. However, Li Zicheng has a resolute temperament, has experienced countless battles, and has encountered many hardships and hardships in his life, but he quickly calmed down.

He stood up, and a cold light shot out of his eyes: "Okay, let me Li Zicheng and Wang Dou fight a decisive battle in the wilderness to see if the Shunxiang army has three heads and six arms." ā€

He ordered: "Tian Jianxiu and Liu Xiyao will not move, continue to monitor the army of Jianshan, and the Sanguan Righteous Army will withdraw to the big camp, and quickly send the heads of each battalion to the old camp to discuss matters." ā€

On the sixteenth day of the first month of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, at the time of Chen, Wang Dou and Chen Yongfu led the Shunxiang army and the forward battalion sergeants totaling more than 7,000 from the north gate to the camp of the Chuang army more than ten miles away.

At the beginning, there was a "horse wall" in the suburbs of Luoyang. "There are scattered houses, broken walls, fields and ditches in the suburbs, and only the army, A, and team are marching forward. But after a few miles, the land was vast and desolate, and the ruined villages were left in the distance, and the army was already together, marching in array, and the army was heavily armoured.

And in front of it, there is the continuous camp of the Chuang army, which spreads from the north to the south.

This battle touched the hearts of all the soldiers and civilians in Luoyang, not to mention that the remaining garrison officers and soldiers of the township brave society all climbed the city wall to watch, but the people in the city also showed their magical powers, and they seized the commanding heights in the city. Fu Yi Zhu Changxun also took the palace people, climbed the top floor of the Wenfeng Tower, and looked to the west hard.

"Ten thousand people are single-minded, Mount Tai can be shaken. Only loyal and righteous, angry bullfighting. The Lord will kiss me more than my parents..."

General Qi's "Song of Triumph" is sung all over the country, not only one of the military songs of the Shunxiang Army, but also Chen Yongfu's forward battalion. At this bloody juncture of the decisive battle, or there was a feeling, the low military song sounded from Chen Yongfu's forward battalion, and soon spread to the entire military formation, accompanied by the marching drums, and the majestic military song sounded to stop the clouds.

"Breaking military orders is not free. The order is clear, and the reward and punishment letter is written. Go to the water and fire, dare to stay late! ā€

The army formed a formation, moving forward, Chen Chen, the commander of the bird commander of the first team of the Gaoxun Division, walked in command, followed and sang, he stepped through the fields, stepped across the river, and faced the big battle, hundreds of thousands of rogues, his eyes were firm.

Life is like morning dew, my father and brother Si are under the knife of Hulu, and they dream back at midnight, full of the sad and desperate eyes of their relatives when they are near. With the army going south, the thieves and bandits are full of devastation, what do you think in your heart, what do you think?

He didn't know why others could join the army and fight, but he understood that he had made up his mind early and was determined to kill all the Hulu in this life, follow the general to pacify the world, and bring the family and country back to peace. It is this road full of corpses and bones, and he is not afraid, when life withers with the wind, it also has its own splendor.

Suddenly, Chen Sheng's eyes froze, through the cold snow and fog in the early morning, the end of the wilderness in front of him was covered with endless thieves, countless flags of various colors, boundless, I don't know how many people there are. …,

"Great war, let's start!"

Chen Chen clenched the fire system in his hand.

"The officers and soldiers are coming!"

The dark clouds are low pressure, the cold wind splitting the face degrades the muscles and bones, "breaking" under the Yuda flag, Li Zicheng rode on the black barge horse, raised his eyes to look east, and the biting chill could not move him in the slightest.

Behind him are Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing, and Li Yan's generals. Like Li Zicheng, their expressions were extremely solemn. Obviously, he knew that this battle was not trivial, especially when the grain and grass were taken away and the rebels lost one after another.

In addition, the leaders of the infantry and hungry soldiers of the various families and battalions, they hurried over, looking terrified, and the loss of grain and grass was a great blow to them, and if it had not been for the strong suppression and monitoring of the old battalion, many of them would have scattered with their subordinates.

In the depressing atmosphere, I don't know how long it took, suddenly Li Zicheng's thick eyebrows frowned, and in the faint trumpet army song, a black line suddenly spread over the land in the east, and as soon as this black line came out, it was like a rolling torrent of steel, killing and stirring the world, making people feel suffocated and frightened!

Everyone was shocked, and they looked to the east intently. At this moment, the cold fog was swept away, and the entire Ming army formation was displayed in front of everyone. Dense forest of guns, layers of flags, fiery red armor, fiery red flags, a sea of red neatness, slowly moving towards the earth. In the middle of the big array, the two big primes with "Wang" and "Chen" written on them are particularly eye-catching.

The red sea was shocking, with the back to the rising sun, and everyone looked at it, and they all had a strange feeling of space distortion. The military song is even more clear and indescribably heroic: "How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and have the same enmity with the son......"

With such a majesty, everyone changed color, Li Zicheng laughed, raised his whip and said: "What an official army, what a king!" ā€

He looked back at his own generals, and his confidants and generals, Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Li Guo, Li Shuangxi, Gao Yigong and others, although they were taken by the Ming army, their faces were a little pale, but they still looked firm. Only the leaders of the hungry soldiers looked nervous and had different expressions.

He sneered in his heart, knowing that the attack on Luoyang failed, the grain and grass were taken away, and the opponent in this battle was the sharp and brave Wang Doujun who had won many battles, and these people had already had different intentions, so he didn't pay attention to it, but just asked: "The leaders of the families, who else has not led the troops?" ā€

Because Wang Dou and the others came suddenly and quickly, so when he learned the news that the officers and soldiers had left the city, Li Zicheng only had time to convene the leaders of the nearby camps to discuss and meet the battle.

At this time, on the position of the peasant army, there were tens of thousands of hungry soldiers converging and forming a large array, and then those leaders hurriedly came to report to the king, seeing that there were more and more hungry soldiers, and hastily counted them, and there were more than 100,000 people. But by this time, the crockpot people were still nowhere to be seen.

After hearing the report of Yuan Zongdi, who was in charge of Luoyang's general affairs, the short-tempered Liu Zongmin was already scolding, and the generals were also ugly, only Li Zicheng remained silent, he raised his whip and pointed at the advancing Ming army and said: "Brothers, I, Li Zicheng, never admit defeat, since I got up, whether it is to follow King Gao Chuang, or to fight the legacy, to fight Brazil, I have been trapped several times, even if there are thousands of troops, why am I afraid?" ā€

He rode his horse suddenly, walked through the various formations, and shouted at the hungry soldiers: "Brothers and sisters of all families, the court has no way, and ignores the lives of the people." Luoyang's blessed king is rich in the world, so famine, but he refuses to give a penny to help the people, and the princes and nobles exploit the poor people and let people freeze. Is it fair that they are drunk and drunk, but we are desolate and miserable? ā€

Lian lost the battle, the officers and soldiers were strong, the grain and grass were taken away, and the sudden battle, although the hungry soldiers of all departments gathered, the number was ten times that of the officers and soldiers, but everyone was terrified, but after listening to Li Zicheng's words, he slowly quieted down

yes, is that fair? Everyone is a flat-headed people, everyone works hard, even in a good year, they have not had enough to eat, and in the disaster year, they sell their children and daughters, and they are hard.

Especially in recent years, the poor people have eaten all the bark and grass roots, and they have eaten dried cows, sheepskins, goose droppings, and even cannibalism. And those powerful people drink behind closed doors and live a corrupt life of debauchery and shamelessness, why is this?

Thinking of this, many people shed tears and hated the officials and soldiers even more.
