At the time of Shen, the scouts entered the Chinese military tent again.

The rogue attack had been going on for five hours.

From the situation reported by the scouts, Zheng Xunrui and Yang Tingshu both noticed that the soldiers of Zezhou Prefecture City were no longer able to resist, and the city was about to be destroyed.

However, this possibility is almost non-existent, if Lao Huihui knew the news of the loss of Jiyuan, he would definitely stop attacking the city of Zezhou and lead the army to evacuate in the direction of Zezhou or Lu'an, Lao Huihui basically would not choose to evacuate in the direction of Pingyang Mansion, because this side is close to Yan'an Mansion in Shaanxi, and there is a huge danger of it.

The only explanation is that Lao Huihui was able to calm down, wait for the moment when the city was about to be breached, and command the Liukou to launch the final attack, and I have to say that Lao Huihui has great self-confidence.

"Report, the rogue has launched a general attack......

"Liu Zeqing, lead the soldiers to attack, don't show mercy to your subordinates, it's up to you next."

Lao Hui had a smile on his face, and he was surrounded by Gu Junen.

Gu Junen is Li Zicheng's strategist, and his status in the rebel army is not ordinary, and he came to Lao Huihui's side, it seems that the rebel army has indeed made a big move.

"Gu Junen, you said that after the righteous army took Zezhou City, it immediately moved in the direction of Luoyang Mansion City, and by that time, would King Chuang have already taken Luoyang Mansion City?"

"I don't think there's a problem. With 80,000 soldiers under the command of King Chuang, it is more than enough to take Luoyang, and after King Chuang and the general will meet, they will quickly go in the direction of Huguang, and they will definitely be able to open up a piece of sky. ”

Lao Huihui nodded slightly.

"It's still your construction good. The movement of the rebels should not be too fast, and every time they go to a place, they need to stay as long as possible and familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment. Leaving in a hurry, being unfamiliar with the surrounding environment, and encountering the encirclement and suppression of officials and soldiers, they often suffer losses. ”

"What the general said was the battle of Che Compartment Gorge. The rebel army was almost wiped out by the official army, and at that time, King Chuang and the Eight Kings were thinking about how to be familiar with the surrounding terrain, and the battle of Chezhou Gorge could not continue to appear. ”

Lao Huihui suddenly thought of something, turned his head and spoke to Gu Junen.

"Tell me, will the Zheng butcher in Shaanxi intervene?"

"The general can rest assured, Zheng Xunrui is even thinking of intervening. There was no chance, and without the will of the court, he did not dare to move. The information I got two days ago that Hong Chengchou led the army and arrived in Taiyuan Fucheng, and I have been thinking about why Hong Chengchou left Huguang and entered Shanxi. It seems that after the general takes the city of Zezhou, he still has to leave Shanxi quickly. After meeting with King Chuang, he entered the territory of Huguang. Huguang had abundant grain, which was beneficial to the development of the rebel army. ”

"Yes, the rebel army has grown to more than 200,000 people, even if Hong Chengchou wants to encircle and suppress, it is not so easy, the last battle has frightened Hong Chengchou, it is impossible to have no scruples, and as long as we have accurate information, we can also launch a counteroffensive against the official army."

Gu Junen nodded.

Between Lao Huihui and Li Zicheng, there has been a consensus that as for Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, the development is not particularly smooth, mainly because Qin Liangyu is a little powerful, and the white pole soldiers under his command have good combat effectiveness, and I don't know what happened to Daming, a woman actually surpassed many men and brought out a strong army.

Lao Huihui and Li Zicheng reached a consensus, Zhang Xianzhong can only obey, Gu Junen has long realized that Zhang Xianzhong will not completely obey Lao Huihui and King Chuang, but now under the shape, the righteous army can only turn a blind eye to this situation, the best way to deal with it is the big alliance between Lao Huihui and Li Zicheng, so that Zhang Xianzhong does not dare to move, can only obey, of course, no one dares to guarantee how to develop in the future.

All 40,000 sergeants have launched a charge, and some sergeants have rushed to the city wall, and the south gate has also been taken, and the capture of Zezhou City is a sure thing.

Gu Junen's idea is to take advantage of the defects of the slow internal orders of the Ming Dynasty to maximize the development of the righteous army, and when the righteous army expands to a certain extent, the next step is to occupy the city and take the territory, and the place that Gu Junen likes is actually Sichuan.

Sichuan is known as the land of abundance, and taking the whole of Sichuan is an undesirable thing for the rebels.

The dull sound of horses' hooves and the tremor of the earth even suppressed the cries and screams of the siege.

Lao Huihui's face changed a little, and just as he turned his head, an overwhelming rain of arrows came quickly.

The pro-soldiers around him acted quickly, transferred Lao Huihui, Gu Junen and others out of the Chinese military tent and headed towards the nearby mountain.

Lao Huihui and Gu Junen saw the speeding soldiers at the same time, and what frightened them even more was that on the banner at the front of the army, there was actually a huge Zheng character, this is the Zheng family army, this is the Zheng family army that makes the righteous army fearful.

The rebels who were besieging the city were in chaos in an instant.

The attack of the Zheng family army was too sharp, like a sharp sword, which instantly tore apart the formation of the righteous army, so that the formation behind the righteous army was chaotic, this kind of commotion instantly affected the righteous army sergeants who attacked in front, some of the sergeants turned their heads and saw the fierce cavalry, and the expressions on their faces changed instantly, many of them had fought with the Zheng family army, and when they saw this familiar military uniform, they knew that it was the Zheng family army coming.

With nearly 40,000 rogues, the formation is not small, but in the face of the impact of 20,000 Zheng family soldiers, it seems vulnerable.

Zheng Xunrui seized the best opportunity.

Liukou attacked the city of Zezhou with all his might, and he didn't expect to be attacked at all, and he didn't pay attention to the situation behind him, at this time, he suddenly encountered an attack, and it was an attack by the cavalry of the Zheng family, of course they knew what the consequences were.

Some of the rogue's officers organized the rogues to resist, but unfortunately these officers had long been targeted by the Zheng family's soldiers, and many of the rogue's officers were shot by the galloping bows and arrows before they had time to act.

The rogues who attacked the city wall were already close to three thousand, and they were almost about to control the city wall, but when they saw the swarming red and the brothers separated by the torrent, they knew that the situation was not good, and some of the rogues chose to retreat from the ladder, and many more rogues were at a loss and didn't know what to do.

The commander of Zhizhou and Wei, who had already withdrawn to the state government in despair, almost fainted after hearing the sergeant's report.

After a short hesitation, the group quickly left the state office and headed in the direction of the city wall, and before they reached the south gate, they heard loud shouts and screams, but these sounds came from outside the city wall.

The city wall is relatively quiet, many sergeants are looking down, the rogue who attacked the city wall, was killed by them with all their strength, more rogue chose to jump down automatically, maybe leave early, and be able to save their lives, stay on the city wall, it must be a dead end.

Zhizhou and the commander of the guard went up to the city wall and saw a scene that made them unbelievable, the previously menacing rogues had already fallen into disarray, and the soldiers of the Zheng family army wearing red military uniforms were chasing and slashing the rogues.

It's a pity that the commander of Zhizhou and Wei has no ability to organize the soldiers in the city to kill out, after a few days of attack, there are less than 5,000 soldiers under their command, and many of them are injured, these people still have to defend the state city, and even if these people rush out, it will not play much role.

Liu Zeqing killed very happily.

Nearly 40,000 rogues, the soldiers of the Zheng family army almost do not need to lock on to any targets, all around are rogues, just fight hard, the advantage of the cavalry is undoubtedly exposed at this time, I don't know how many rogues are hit by the war horse, the formation composed of fifty soldiers is very flexible, can take into account the front and back, left and right, and can closely follow the rogues to fight.

It was only a quarter of an hour before the fight began, Liu Zeqing knew that Zheng Jiajun would win a huge victory, and now it depends on whether he can catch or kill Lao Huihui, once he can catch or kill Lao Huihui, then the situation will be different, of course, Liu Zeqing knows Zheng Xunrui's thoughts, he will not hesitate to catch Lao Huihui at a price, and he will catch him alive.

The fight continues, the rogues scatter and flee, this is their habit, the Zheng family army also knows how to deal with it, the rogue scatters, the Zheng family army soldiers will also disperse, at this time the bow and arrow can play a huge role, every arrow shoots out, there must be a rogue screaming and falling, those who are stubborn and resistant, the end is even worse, all of them are separated from the head.

In the process of fighting, there are already rogues kneeling on the ground, this is the rogues who have despaired and given up resistance.

Nearly 40,000 rogues are a large number, but under the surprise attack of the Zheng family's army, they were defeated, and all they saw with their eyes were fleeing for their lives, and few resisted.

Liu Zeqing felt that it was too happy to follow Zheng Xunrui to fight and fight, people could seize the best opportunity and suddenly dispatch, so that the opponent had no possibility of resisting at all, and could only be slaughtered obediently.

A large number of rogues began to flee in the direction of Luoyang, and the soldiers of the Zheng family army followed closely behind to fight.

Zheng Xunrui has already issued an order, Zezhou Zhizhou and Ning Shanwei are in charge of dealing with the surrendered rogues, Zheng Jiajun has no time to deal with these things, as for the money, food and other materials that Lao Hui gets, Zheng Jiajun must need them, these things will not stay, how to deal with the surrendered rogues, that is a matter that Zezhou Zhizhou considers, it should be said that Yang Tingshu considers.

Zheng Xunrui had already given Jianyì, for those who surrendered, quickly screened, most of them were to be killed, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to ensure that the rogues could not resurge. (To be continued)
