Liu Laoer was a member of the new army who defected to King Chuang in December last year.
He was originally a farmer from Xin'an County, Henan Prefecture, not far from Luoyang. His family rented 16 acres of dry land from Mr. Yuan's family, but he did not do farming on weekdays. He liked to play around in the towns and abandoned farming.
It was given to his parents. There was a severe drought in Henan last year and his family's fields could not grow enough food for the new year, so he thought about what to do.
He wanted to rob the grain of the landowners in the city. Those landlords had saved grain for several years. He wanted to rob one gentry household, which would be enough for dozens of families to live for a year. Those gentry households were so abominable that people were starving to death outside.
The Jin gentry did not open warehouses to put some grain in to provide relief to the poor. They would rather the grain rot in the warehouse than give it to the poor for disaster relief.
However, Liu Laoer only knew a few green men and lacked manpower, so they did not dare to take action.
Later, the good news came that the world-famous King Chuang had arrived. Liu Laoer didn't do what he thought and immediately joined the rebel army. After entering the rebel camp, he was given a spear and used it as an infantry. Last month,
When the rebel army captured Luoyang, Liu Laoer followed King Chuang with this spear and plundered Luoyang severely.
For the first time in his life, Liu Laoer felt so proud.
The gentry gentlemen who usually lorded it over themselves were trembling at their feet. The grain in the granaries had been stored for who knows how many years and could not be moved out, so it was all used as military rations.
.The gold and silver treasures robbed from Prince Fu's mansion were box after box. King Chuang gave each of the 30,000 rebels a reward of three taels.
The maids in Prince Fu's Mansion were all taken in turns by the rebel soldiers. Liu Laoer also acted like a man that day and showed off his power on a maid.
Every time Liu Laoer recalls those days in Luoyang, he can't help but grin. That's how people live!
After conquering Luoyang, King Chuang wanted to open Kaifeng. Kaifeng was the residence of the governor of Henan and the provincial capital of Henan, and it was even more prosperous. If he could follow King Chuang to capture Kaifeng, he would have such a good life that he could never even dream of.
But unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared on the way. Just when the rebel army surrounded Kaifeng City, the army came. Liu Laoer didn't know which way the army came, and King Chuang didn't let the soldiers guess.
It is only said that the official army only has more than 10,000 people and the rebels are more numerous. The rebels will definitely be able to defeat the official army.
Liu Laoer is not afraid of these officers and soldiers. These days, officers and soldiers will be tricked to death by officers. Officers drink the soldiers' blood and eat empty pay, leaving the soldiers so poor that they don't even have enough to eat. It is better to be an officer and soldier.
Thief, what kind of combat power can the officers and soldiers have? Just look at the guards in Luoyang. As soon as King Chuang's army arrived, the officers and soldiers immediately rose up and surrendered. Why do we need to fight?
The attacking army is probably the same.
In this battle, Liu Lao'er's team was placed in the middle of the army. Liu Lao'er was a little pity, secretly thinking that it would be better if he was in front of the army. If he killed a few officers and soldiers, he might be promoted to a cavalry army, with horses and meat.
have eaten.
Liu Laoer walked onto the battlefield with a feeling of regret.
But on the battlefield, Liu Laoer discovered that everything he thought was wrong.
Those standing in front are not vulnerable officers and soldiers, but more than 10,000 killers.
As soon as the battle started, when the distance between the two armies was more than a mile, the cannons in front of the official army's formations roared. The sound of the cannons was louder than thunder, as if more than a hundred thunders exploded not far away.
The army's artillery was not only loud, but also accurate. It only hit once and destroyed all of King Chuang's thirty-plus squatting tiger cannons.
Liu Laoer felt confused at that time. Which army was this? Why were they so powerful?
When King Chuang asked the army to rush forward, Liu Laoer kept a cautious eye on it. He walked slowly, and when the captain accidentally left his group, he shrank to the back of the group little by little.
But it was not absolutely safe in the back. The army's cannons were too powerful. Liu Laoer only took sixty steps forward when the army's cannons fired again. A shell fell from the sky and shot into the crowd of rebels in front of Liu Laoer.
, and in one fell swoop, he shot through the stomach of a rebel a few steps away from Liu Laoer.
Blood and minced meat flew out, splashing all over Liu Laoer's face.
The cannonball penetrated a rebel soldier and then hit the thigh of another rebel recruit. The recruit who was shot barely had time to react before his thigh was broken. The shell bounced on the ground.
Then he hit the shoulder of the third rebel. Just a dozen steps away, Liu Laoer saw with his own eyes the entire right shoulder of the rebel exploded, and his right hand was suddenly separated from the bloody body.
The shell smashed the shoulder of the third rebel and then hit the chest of the fourth rebel, smashing the chest and ribs of the rebel. The rebel was carried flying by the power of the shell and spit out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.
, died without a word, and bumped into other rebels behind him.
The artillery shells of this army are really terrifying. The officers and soldiers on the opposite side are definitely not ordinary officers and soldiers. This battle cannot be won.
Liu Laoer rubbed oil on his soles and tried to escape. He lingered in place for a while without moving forward, and then fled behind the army when no one was paying attention. But he only ran back five steps, and there was a man wearing scales.
A's intruder officer brandished a machete and charged at him. Liu Laoer was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, turned around and ran towards the front of the army.
The officer leading the troops saw Liu Lao'er running forward and stopped chasing him, which made Liu Lao'er sigh with relief.
But Liu Laoer was suddenly frightened by the officer. He ran so fast that he actually reached the front of the army. Although he was not at the front, he was still in the front row. In front of Liu Laoer, there were only
Fourth and fifth rows of rebels.
Liu Laoer was thinking that the rebels were walking very slowly and that everyone was afraid of death, when the cannon from the army in front rang out again.
What Liu Laoer didn't expect was that the cannon fired not round cannonballs this time, but loose cannonballs.
In just an instant, the three and four rows of rebels in front all fell. Liu Laoer saw that blood holes suddenly appeared on the bodies of the recruits in the front row, and two holes were pierced by the scatter cannon. Liu Laoer two steps ago
A rebel recruit was shot in the face by a cannon, and his entire head was shot through in an instant. Blood spurted out and sprayed all over Liu Laoer's face.
Liu Laoer was suddenly sprayed with blood all over his face. He thought he had been shot and screamed at the top of his lungs.
He stopped in place and screamed for a long time, stroking his body and face with his hands, but found no wounds. The other officers of the invading army thought that he had been shot and did not urge him to step forward. In the end, he succeeded in sneaking into the army.
The middle part is no longer at the front.
In front of the army, the army's cannons were fired.
Only a crackling sound was heard, and the soldiers in the front row of the rebel army fell one by one in front of the formation like wheat being cut by a sickle.
