The sudden attack was not only seen by Liu Yuliang, but also by Li Zicheng and others who were watching the battle.
It wasn't until the sound of gunfire in the distance became audible that a spy stumbled back and reported: "King Chuang, the officers and soldiers are here, the officers and soldiers are here!"
Li Zicheng was furious after seeing the spies and asked: "Since there are officers and soldiers coming, why didn't you report it earlier? Where are the others?"
"Dead, they are all dead!" the spy cried: "When our men and horses were searching and advancing, those officers and soldiers suddenly jumped out from the roadside. Their firearms were so sharp that our brothers were seriously injured.
He was injured, only the little one escaped by hiding in a tree hole, and then he ran back to report to you!"
"you........."
Li Zicheng was anxious and angry, and was speechless for a moment. At this time, the sound of gunshots and war drums in front became louder and louder.
From the perspective of Li Zicheng and others, they could only see the sound of war drums in the east, and a black line spreading from the horizon, boundless from east to west. The faces of Luo Rucai and Sun Kewang, who were originally standing behind Li Zicheng, were stunned.
The sound turned pale, and the two of them shouted at the same time: "No, Pang Gang must be leading the army himself, he is coming!"
With a sound of "Pa!", Li Zicheng, who couldn't bear it, slapped Sun Kewang on the face, and a clear palm mark appeared instantly. Li Zicheng sternly yelled: "Why are you panicking? Our rebel army has beaten so many officers and soldiers."
?When have we ever been afraid of them? Even if people like Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting come to the border with their troops, we have never been afraid. Look at what you look like now. You are embarrassed and why don’t you retreat quickly!"
Sun Kewang, whose face was a little red and swollen from the beating, wanted to say something, but was pulled down by Luo Rucai on the side. Luo Rucai shook his head covertly at Sun Kewang and signaled him to stop talking. Sun Kewang then lowered his head and walked to the back bitterly.
After scolding Sun Kewang, Li Zicheng looked very unhappy. These Shandong troops came at the wrong time. They didn't come early and they didn't come late. They came just when the rebel army was attacking the city and hit the rebel army within seven inches.
They are neither advancing nor retreating, which is really difficult.
Li Zicheng, who had a tall nose, deep eyes, and a beard, stared at the Guancheng not far away, with a look of perseverance, calmness, and wisdom in his eyes. He resolutely said to Li Guo: "Brother Li, you once had an affair with Pang Gang.
After the fight, this time you will lead 50,000 troops to intercept the Qingzhou Army and never let them enter Luoyang City."
"Yes!" Li Guo accepted the order and left.
Li Zicheng said to Liu Zongmin again. "Jixuan, you must seize the time to attack the city. As long as you can capture Luoyang City, even if Pang Gang has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to do anything to us."
"yes!"
Liu Zongmin gritted his teeth. He jumped on his horse and galloped forward. He was going to personally supervise the siege.
Just when Li Zicheng was busy mobilizing his troops to intercept Pang Gang and seize the opportunity to attack the city, Pang Gang also led a large group of troops to the outside of Luoyang City.
Pang Gang looked at the terrain outside Luoyang City through the telescope, looking past the dilapidated villages and trampled fields, and saw the foothills five or six miles away, all the way to the outside of Luoyang City, almost all covered with
There are a series of military camp flags. Those camp tents are connected one after another from the east to the far south, and then to the west. Although the north cannot be seen clearly, there must be a dense concentration of barracks there.
"With so many camps, the number of people must be no less than hundreds of thousands. It seems that these bandits are developing very fast. We just don't know where Li Zicheng's old camp is stationed. Otherwise, they can go straight to Huanglong." Pang Gang thought to himself.
Turning my eyes to the east, I saw only a desolate scene. After several raids by the bandits in the past few days, all the houses have been swept away by them, leaving only fragments of ruins. All the villages in the suburbs of Luoyang
They were all destroyed. Even the trees outside the city were cut down, leaving only a piece of empty loess as far as the eye could see, like an uninhabited wilderness.
Looking at the surrounding farmland, I saw that the fields were also in a mess. There were trampled footprints everywhere on the fields, and occasionally there were a few seedlings. However, Pang Gang knew from the look of them being trampled that there would be no more crops this year.
Any harvest.
"These bastards!" Pang Gang secretly hated himself when he saw the trampled suburbs. These gangsters did not produce or work, they only trampled on the fruits of other people's labor. They were like a swarm of locusts, wherever they passed.
Only death, ruin and destruction will be left behind. After they destroy one place, they will swarm to the next place and continue to destroy until everything is destroyed.
"Damn the bandits!" Pang Gang said bitterly: "We must not let these bandits continue to move eastward. If they are allowed to enter Shandong, all our homes will be destroyed."
All the generals nodded. Now Shandong, especially the east, is becoming more and more prosperous. There are many villages and towns. This is the result of Pang Gang's hard work and effort over the past few years. If these rogue bandits who only know destruction are allowed to pour in, they will even have to snatch slippers.
Such virtue will only bring destruction wherever it passes.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Pang Gang couldn't help but think of the history textbooks he read when he was a student in later generations. He still clearly remembered that it was compiled by some miserable "brick-minded guy" who actually called people like Li Zicheng justice.
The peasant uprising army admired what they had done.
At this moment, Pang Gang really wanted to pull over those "people who call the beasts" who sang praises for the bandits to take a look and see what kind of damage these "peasant rebels" they admired so much had done to the originally great rivers and mountains.
Pang Gang, who was becoming more and more angry in his heart, turned back to Wang Zhidao: "Wang Guoqi, Heitie is clearing the way for us now. I ordered you to be the vanguard and lead the troops to follow and open a passage for the whole army. Can you do it?"
"General, I obey!" Wang Zhi clasped his fists, his eyes showing excitement, and left in a hurry.
Then Pang Gang said to Cheng Kai again: "Cheng Youqi, you immediately lead your troops to escort Jie Rugong, Governor Li, the transport battalion and the artillery battalion to follow closely behind the second battalion. You must ensure that they enter the city smoothly. If there is any mistake, we will
The official is asking for you!"
Pang Gang's tone was unusually stern, and Cheng Kai felt a chill in his heart, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, sir, I will ensure that the two adults, the transport battalion, and the artillery battalion enter the city safely. If anything goes wrong, I will be punished by military law!"
Pang Gang nodded with satisfaction, "As long as you know, go ahead!"
"As you command!"
Cheng Kai was about to clasp his fists and leave, but he stopped and asked, "Sir, what about you? Why don't you go in with the general?"
Pang Gang smiled, "Why are you in a hurry? I will come in when you guys go in."
"What, you want the rear?" Cheng Kai broke out in cold sweat when he heard this, "Sir, no, if you make any mistake, the entire Qingzhou Army will have to skin the general!"
Cheng Kai is right. Pang Gang is now an Optimus Prime for the whole of Shandong. Many people and military households have always believed that as long as there is Pang Pang, everything in Shandong will be fine, and only Pang Pang can do it.
To let everyone live a good life, they knew very well that only Pang Gang could lead them to live a good life, and they did not dare to imagine what Shandong would be like without Pang Gang.
Gang's safety was very important, but now Pang Gang said he wanted to bring someone to the rear, which made Cheng Kai anxious.
As if he saw Cheng Kai's anxiety, Pang Gang chuckled and said: "Okay, don't worry, I'm just at the rear, there's no danger. Besides, I have thousands of soldiers behind the scenes, so don't worry if there's any danger."
!”
"this........"
Cheng Kai still hesitated, and Pang Gang shouted impatiently: "Okay, this is a military order, go quickly!"
"yes!"
Cheng Kai gritted his teeth and immediately commanded the men and horses to escort the men and horses from the baggage camp and the artillery camp, followed by Wang Zhi's second battalion and rushed forward...
At this time, Li Guo was mobilizing his troops and horses to resist the incoming Ming army, but the Ming army came in resolutely and quickly like a hard steel knife.
"Master Li, it's not good. The officers and soldiers attacked too fiercely. All the brothers were killed and injured. I can't stop you!" A leader covered in blood stumbled to Li Guo and reported bitterly.
Li Guo held the sword, stared at the leader with bloodshot eyes and shouted word by word: "Brothers are all dead and wounded? Then why are you still alive? Go to hell!"
After saying that, the sword in Li Guo's hand had pierced the leader's chest, and the bandit leader fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.
At this time, it was still the cavalry led by Kurogane who were responsible for the swordsmanship. At this time, Kurogane led more than 2,000 cavalry and was tasked with tearing apart the defense lines of the rogue bandits.
In order to tear apart the dense human wall composed of hungry soldiers, Heitie led the cavalry in a continuous sprint back and forth. At this time, all they could see were dense crowds of people. The hungry people in ragged clothes and holding simple weapons were going crazy.
Rushing towards them, their sallow and thin faces were roaring like beasts. This was all Kurogane could see at this time.
"kill!"
The rumble of horse hooves carried the breath of death and rushed into the endless group of bandits. The saber in Black Iron's hand kept slashing left and right. The saber made of fine steel was like a sickle in the hand of the God of Death, constantly harvesting lives one by one.
.
"Rush through, rush over, keep rushing forward!"
Heitie shouted hard while fighting. Behind him were more than two thousand cavalry, and behind him were five thousand infantry led by Wang Zhi. The Mini rifles in their hands were constantly bombarding anyone.
Anyone who dared to get close to their people and objects, Black Iron and the cavalry relied on their horse power to kill the hungry soldiers in front of them. Anyone who stood in front of them would be crushed mercilessly by them!
He didn't know how long he had been fighting, but Heitie, who had been covered in blood, finally could no longer see the enemy. What appeared in front of him was a majestic city. Luoyang City had arrived...
