Chapter 451: Artifact Destroys the Mandate of Heaven

No matter how corrupt the Ming Dynasty was, to put it mildly, nationalist ideas were deeply ingrained in Chen Xie's mind. The Han family is well-dressed, ruined, shaved and easy to wear, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a great national regression. No matter how bad the Ming Dynasty was, the Han people were the masters of the house, and the Han people in the Qing Dynasty were inferior people who were not even as good as slaves. This is not nonsense, the slave of the Qing Dynasty is not something you can be quite capable of. To be a slave is to lift you up.

Kaifeng city high wall thick, is the residence of the king of Zhou. The king of Zhou is not the king of Fu, and when he heard that Li Zicheng was coming, he immediately took out the treasury to store money and grain, labor the army, and recruit the people. The patrol is Gao Mingheng, and the chief soldier Chen Yongfu is working together to stick to the city.

Li Zicheng hit a wall again and again under Kaifeng City, and this is the fifth day. The ants attacked the city, and in front of the tall city walls, there were heavy casualties, and thick corpses were piled up under the city. Seeing that another day was about to pass, Li Zicheng, who had a grim face, was struggling with how to break Kaifeng, when he glanced back at the think tank Niu Jinxing. This old gentleman, holding a feather fan in his hand to pretend to be Zhuge Liang, in fact, this product is indeed a bit level, but in the face of such a big city, he is helpless. There are no weapons to attack the fortifications, so they can only fill with human lives.

"Sir, can you break the city?" Li Zicheng didn't expect to hit a wall in Kaifeng, and Luoyang can be said to be at his fingertips. Victory came too easily, and Li Zicheng swelled a little fast. Niu Venus said in his heart, how can I have a good way? But his face had to be tense, pinching his beard and thinking there, with a strategizing posture. At this time, he wanted to persuade Li Zicheng to withdraw from the army, why bother to die in Kaifeng?

But he didn't dare to open it. When Li Zicheng was proud, it was undoubtedly unwise to pour cold water. Just when he was thinking about what to do, Li Guo hurriedly came and relieved him. In history, Li Zicheng, as soon as he opened the seal, was shot into a one-eyed dragon by Chen Yongfu with an arrow, and then he retreated.

"Uncle, the scout is in the direction of Chenqiao Town, and found the green-skinned soldiers." Li Guo said. Li Zicheng was immediately struck by high-voltage electricity. At that time, he turned his head sharply and asked, "What did you say?" Li Guo saw that he reacted violently, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, Liu Laosan took people to inspect the river. As a result, he encountered a scout of the Green Skins. Hit a guy on both sides. 500 people beat 50 people. Defeated and returned. Those green skins, unreasonable in war, relying on horses and knives. One charge killed Liu Laosan. Fortunately, it was not far from the camp, and more than 300 people ran back. ”

Ay! Niu Jinxing's hand shook, and he pulled off his beard. After a while, he woke up, and immediately said, "King Chuang, order the troops to retreat." It was the Dengzhou battalion, Chen Sihua's officers and soldiers. This army of officers and soldiers is different, not comparable to the ordinary Ming army. ”

Li Zicheng said in his heart, Lao Tzu still wants you to say? At the foot of Chuzhou City, he was beaten like a dog. Thinking so in his heart, he had to pretend to be very calm and said: "This is the only way, order the troops to retreat and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

At the head of Kaifeng City, the officers and soldiers who were fighting fiercely found that the thieves had suddenly retreated, and cheers rang out from the city. Chen Yongfu, who was commanding the operation, felt that something was wrong. Find the patrol press Gao Mingheng and say: "My lord, it's still early, the thief has retreated, this is not normal." ”

When Gao Mingheng, who was happy, heard this, his heart also chuckled. But he was very calm, and said, "It can't be reinforcements, right?" Chen Yongfu shook his head: "Don't count on reinforcements, even if they come, they may not be able to move the thieves." Now if we want to talk about reinforcements, unless it is Inspector Chen. It's a pity that Inspector Chen is in Liaodong, and the Dengzhou camp is also in Liaodong. ”

This basin of cold water extinguished the flame of hope for Gao Mingheng, and he nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then I have to come and cover the water with soldiers." At the moment, I can only passively respond to the battle. ”

Just when the two were discussing, Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou, also came to him and asked, "Why did the thief retreat?" It's still early. There won't be any tricks, right? The knife was so ruthless, and the two people who were thinking about this matter in their hearts sank down fiercely.

"You have to send someone to keep an eye on the point, in case the thieves dig into the city." Gao Mingheng thought of this first, Chen Yongfu nodded and said: "Okay, let's go and prepare the water tank, bury it in the ground, and find that the thieves are digging the ground, immediately dig back and fill it with water." ”

The two were discussing various possible responses, and King Zhou couldn't interject, listening on the side, and nodding constantly. Afraid of death, everyone is afraid of death. The vassal king was more afraid of death. King Fu was boiled and eaten, and this matter is not far away.

While they were deliberating, suddenly the soldiers at the head of the city made a noise, pointing to the sky and shouting, "What? What's that? Is it a heavenly soldier? The word "Heavenly Soldier" frightened the three people who were discussing, and many of the people in the city were inclined to thieves, and the so-called "Heavenly Soldier" said that it was very popular recently. Huang Shu, the magistrate, led people to arrest many thieves who had infiltrated the city, cut off the heads of these meticulous works that propagated the so-called "heavenly soldiers", and hung them on the city to show the public.

For a moment, the three of them panicked, this thing was floating over, and it was getting clearer and clearer. The people at the head of the city knelt to the ground, and the thieves under the city also knelt down when they saw this, and bowed down endlessly. The guards were helpless, and King Zhou had no monkeys to play. What is this Nima, such a flying thing, no one has ever seen it.

Just when everyone panicked, the hot air balloon flew over the city and dropped something down. Then he turned around and flew towards the camp of the thieves, and then looked at the far end, there were dozens of such things flying again. The small parachute staggered, landed on the city, was picked up, and was immediately sent to Gao Mingheng's side. A letter held by the oilcloth, opened it to see the payment first, and then Gao Mingheng went crazy and shouted: "Saved, saved, Dengzhou Camp is here, Inspector Chen is here." ”

Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou, took the letter and glanced at the payment, and Chen Xie, a scholar of the Daming Dongge University and a scholar of the Ministry of War, bowed to him. At that time, as soon as the body was weak, the ass became the head of the city. At this time, look at those hot air balloons, flying over the thief camp, and the people here can't afford to kneel.

Li Zicheng's face turned white, looking at the flying hot air balloon, it was dusk, and these things were shining all over the sunset, it was really like a god. Aren't you an artifact of the Eighteenth? Let you see what an artifact is? This is Chen Xie's mind.

Not to mention Li Zicheng's gang of turtles, even intellectuals such as Li Yan, Niu Jinxing, and Song Xiance were dumbfounded when they saw this thing. Li Yan was quite calm, just staring, Niu Jinxing's hands were shaking, and Song Xiance, a down-and-out Taoist priest who was used to engaging in feudal superstition, directly weakened his legs, kneeling on the ground and staring at the sky blankly.

At this moment, suddenly the artifact in the sky laid eggs, and the black ones fell down one by one, and when the people were still kneeling on the ground, the bombs rang out and fell in Li Zicheng's baggage camp.

A fifty-kilogram maroon medicine bomb is not too powerful, but after this thing falls, the psychological impact caused is simply ruinous. Didn't Li Zicheng claim to have a destiny? This thing is flying, drop bombs down, your destiny is scum. Feudal superstition has always been like this. Ordinary people believe this, but when they find out that they can't explain things, and they go in the opposite direction as they understood before, things become out of control.

Twenty hot air balloons, a hundred bombs were dropped, but one camp was burned, and the total number of dead and wounded was less than five hundred, but the morale blow to Li Zicheng was immeasurable. For a while, those generals who believed that Li Zicheng had a mandate of heaven were shaken at this time, this Nima is called having a mandate of heaven? Look at the artifact glowing in the sky, and what you throw down will explode! O God!

The fire in the camp made the people's army scurry around like a headless fly, Li Zicheng who was stunned, Li Yan who was blind, Niu Jinxing who couldn't sit on the ground, Liu Zhongmin who was trembling, and Song Xiance who was kneeling on the ground for a long time. Just one bombing shattered the cohesion of this group that had just been pulled up.

Thirty miles outside the city, the red flag of the Dengzhou camp was erected, and the army set up camp, ready to attack tomorrow. At this time, Li Zicheng must come up with a countermeasure, otherwise it will be the result of a collapse. There is no need to fight this battle, half of it has already been lost.

When the last touch of sunset disappeared into the sky, Li Zicheng called all the literati and capable generals to discuss what to do next. "How do the scouts of Dog's Day work? The officers and soldiers all crossed the Yellow River, but they did not find it. "It's Liu Zhongmin who is scolding, don't look at the loud voice, you can't stand the weakness in your tone.

Niu Venus, whose eyes were flashing with brilliant brilliance, was still trembling in his legs at the moment, and the bombardment before dusk hit his heart too hard. This Nima, how did this kind of thing fly up, at this time he reacted, and what he was carrying on it was either a divine soldier, or a human. The problem is that the people don't think that way, and the soldiers don't think that way.

"Don't panic, it seems to me that thing is meant to bluff people. Everyone saw it, not to mention the slow flight, and the dropped bombs did not cause too many casualties. As long as you deal with it properly, it won't cause much success. Li Yan spoke to cheer everyone up, the problem is that when he said this at this time, the reaction was not very obvious, and people who couldn't lift their spirits were everywhere.

Li Zicheng knew that he couldn't do it if he didn't speak, so he immediately spoke: "What Mr. Li said makes sense, but it's just some tricky tricks, and it's not a problem. The top priority at the moment is to be well prepared to deal with the incoming attack of officers and soldiers. Also, Kaifeng can't fight anymore, let's retreat, turn to Huguang, and let's go to Xiangyang. ”

Niu Jinxing also knew at this time that he would either continue to mix up a future here, or he would be ready to run away overnight. Even if he wants to run away, he has to speak at this time, so his eyes rolled on his pale face, and he immediately said: "The top priority is to find out how many soldiers and horses there are in the Dengzhou battalion."
