Zhu Chongba held weapons and took the lead in attacking Haozhou City.
The loud noise just now startled everyone.
Wait until a strong wind blows and blows away the yellow dust from Haozhou City.
The originally strong Haozhou city wall has disappeared.
Instead there is a low, gentle slope!
Zhu Chongba could already see the shops and wine flags in the city through the gap in the city wall!
Overjoyed, Zhu Chongba did not hesitate at all.
He drew the knife in his hand, jumped on his mount with a loud shout, and led Xu Da and other cavalry to fight out first.
Afterwards, Tang He, Zhou Dexing and others immediately led the infantry to follow quickly!
This section of the Haozhou City Wall is in a completely undefended state.
When Zhu Chongba led his army to charge in, he encountered no resistance except a few deafened defenders.
"Xuda, go clear the front!"
"Tang He, go and open the city gate!"
"Zhou Dexing, go and seize the city wall!"
Zhu Chongba gave an order and instantly controlled the area of the east gate.
Zhu Qiwu also led Hu Yiba and others into Haozhou City.
When he walked past the collapsed city wall, he not only felt a strong sense of pride.
"Haozhou City, I am the number one contributor!"
Zhu Chongba had just taken control of the East Gate area when suddenly a burst of fierce shouts erupted from the front!
"kill!"
"Kill the thief!"
A Mongolian and Yuan official and another general led hundreds of soldiers and rushed towards Zhu Yuanzhang and the others.
It was none other than Luo Wenqing, the magistrate of Haozhou who had just been frightened crazy. The other general was Ma Bao, the deputy general in charge of patrolling the city.
Luo Zhizhou was covered in mud and in a miserable state.
Just now he saw the city wall being blown away, so he hurriedly found another deputy general, Ma Bao, to defend it.
"Come on, drive out the red scarf thief, quickly!"
Luo Wenqing, the magistrate of Haozhou, urged loudly.
Lieutenant General Ma Bao led five hundred officers and soldiers in formation to fight back against the red scarf thieves who rushed in.
Although they were shouting loudly to kill, their steps were getting slower and slower.
Ma Bao and his subordinates were extremely horrified.
Why did the perfectly good city wall disappear with a loud noise?
Is it possible that these red scarf thieves really invited some kind of True Lord of Five Thunders?
The Five Thunder Lords used their divine power to smash the city wall.
Seeing more and more Red Turban troops pouring in from the gap, Ma Bao and others began to feel scared.
"Rush, rush!"
"Kill the thief!"
Ma Bao raised his long knife and shouted repeatedly.
But his footsteps stopped, and no one from the surrounding officers and soldiers came forward.
Opposite them, the Red Scarf Army led by Zhu Chongba had already seen the cowardice of this group of officers and soldiers.
Zhu Chongba roared.
"Brothers, follow me and kill!"
Zhu Chongba led the soldiers to take the lead and charged towards Ma Bao and the others.
Bang!
There was a loud noise, and the swordsmen and shieldmen in the front row of both sides collided.
Zhu Chongba and others have been training hard for half a year. They have enough food and fish every day and are protected by heavy armor.
Just one attack killed Ma Bao and other officers and soldiers into chaos.
Several officers and soldiers in the front row were chopped to the ground, and Ma Bao was immediately frightened and lost his courage.
"Retreat first!"
Ma Bao shouted, turned around and ran away with a few soldiers.
As soon as the lieutenant general fled, the remaining officers and soldiers, who still had no fighting spirit, all turned around and fled after him.
Ma Bao has been in battle for a long time and knows that these red scarf thieves are not only large in numbers, but also well-equipped. They cannot resist them at all. If they don't run away now, they will be unable to gain wings when the red scarf thieves control all the city gates in Haozhou.
Escaped.
Surrendering to the rebel army would be a serious crime that would implicate the three clans, but fleeing from battle could still be settled with money.
Which one is light and which one is serious, Ma Bao can clearly distinguish.
What's more, he was not fleeing in the face of the battle, but was defeated in the battle and led the remaining troops to break out, preserving the strength for the imperial court to counterattack.
Hundreds of officers and soldiers did not even stop the red scarf thieves for one round. This made Luo Wenqing, the magistrate of Haozhou who was supervising the battle behind, very angry!
The Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties were very cruel to Han officials like them. If anyone lost the city, they would be thrown into jail and questioned, or the whole family would be executed.
Luo Wenqing is not like Ma Bao and others, who still have room for maneuver.
He immediately stepped forward and blocked the escape path of Ma Bao and others.
"Ma Bao, do you dare to run away from the battlefield? Don't you want to live?!" Luo Wenqing shouted sharply.
At this time, the shouts of killing behind him were deafening, and red scarf flags were erected on both sides of the city walls. Ma Bao was already very anxious. If he didn't run faster, all the Haozhou city gates would be controlled by the red scarf thieves.
"Sir, the thieves are too fierce. Let's run out first and then collect the broken troops and prepare for a counterattack!" Ma Bao said anxiously.
The red scarf thieves broke through the city too suddenly. Thousands of officers and soldiers were scattered throughout the city without being assembled at all, so there was no chance of victory.
Ma Bao's suggestion is actually the most reasonable approach.
However, the gains and losses in Haozhou are related to whether Luo Wenqing can keep his head, and how can he let Ma Bao escape in the face of the battle.
"No, go and kill the thief quickly. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed..."
Luo Wenqing's eyes were red, and he grabbed Ma Bao's arm and shouted loudly.
However, midway through his words, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and could no longer make any sound.
Luo Wenqing's eyes widened and he looked at the steel knife thrust into his stomach with a look of horror.
Ma Bao ignored Luo Wenqing at all, twisted the steel knife in his hand, smashed Luo Wenqing's internal organs, and then pulled it out suddenly.
Blood gushed out of Luo Wenqing's mouth and he fell to the ground motionless.
"Luo Zhizhou is dead!"
"Zhu Chongba killed Luo Zhizhou!"
Ma Bao shouted twice, then led his soldiers and ran towards the west gate.
The rest of the officers and soldiers in Haozhou City were all panicked and fled desperately.
"The red scarf thief killed Mr. Luo!"
"The red scarf thief is here!"
"Lord Luo is dead!"
"Failed, defeated!"
Shouts echoed throughout Haozhou City.
When these sounds reached a courtyard in the city, a middle-aged man suddenly looked horrified.
"Luo Wenqing is dead? Why is the Red Scarf Army so powerful!"
This person is none other than Guo Zixing, a powerful figure in Haozhou.
When he was young, he was generous and righteous, and made many friends in the world. In recent years, when the world was not peaceful, he was even more righteous and generous, and gathered many good men into his family.
When he heard that the Red Scarf Army was attacking, Guo Zixing secretly contacted Sun Deya and several other people, preparing to mobilize troops to respond when the Red Scarf Army attacked the city.
However, he never expected that in just two days, the Red Scarf Army would actually reach the city.
"Dad, don't wait, let's go out quickly!" The eldest son Guo Tianci was a little anxious.
The speed of the Red Scarf Army's destruction of the city was so fast that it shocked everyone. Such a fast speed of breaking the city showed that the Red Scarf Army who attacked Haozhou must be the best among the best!
