It was the first time Liu Laoer saw such powerful firepower.
After the gunshots fell, there were screams and moans everywhere in front of them. The soldiers who were shot were twitching on the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground. The rebel recruits who had just raised their swords were like paper in front of the blazing guns.
, lost his life in the blink of an eye. Liu Laoer saw a new recruit of the rebel army who was raping King Fu's maid with him, and he had some friendship with him. He was shot in the chest and fell to the ground, bleeding.
He was a very tall recruit, holding a big sword in his hand. If he met ordinary officers and soldiers, he could probably fight two of them. But in front of this musket, he was killed with just one bullet.
Several layers of soldiers were dead in the front after being struck by scatter cannons and firecrackers. Liu Laoer was originally in the middle of the team, but at this time, all the recruits in the front rows were dead, and he was at the front of the team again.
Where is this war? This is simply massacre.
The fighting spirit of the rebels was shaken. No matter how the officers shouted, the rebels in the front row did not dare to move forward. Even the rebel officers were frightened by the firepower of the officers and soldiers, and some did not dare to press forward. Only those behind them
The supervising cavalry army was still driving the army upward.
Just when the rebel army was advancing and retreating and losing ground, the official army's cannons opened fire again.
The bullets swept through the rebel army like a storm, and those soldiers who were still hesitating to advance or retreat were shot one after another, letting out heart-piercing screams. The soldiers in the front row fell down like reeds blown by the strong wind.
.
Some bullets did not hit the soldiers in the front row, but instead shot through the crowd and hit the rebels in the back rows. A thin recruit next to Liu Laoer was suddenly shot in the lower abdomen, and the bullet drilled a small hole in his stomach.
, blood flowed out from the hole. The recruit covered the wound, but could not cover the blood. He lost strength little by little and was about to collapse.
But he was unwilling to die like this. He held on to Liu Laoer's shoulders and refused to fall down. Looking at Liu Laoer, his eyes were full of begging for help. His hands full of blood grabbed a piece of Liu Laoer's sleeve.
Bloody.
Liu Laoer couldn't stand it anymore. The army's fire cannons could be fired continuously. Rushing up like this was simply a way to die. He shook off the hand of the new soldier beside him and ran away to the back. There is no way to supervise the cavalry army in front.
The officers and soldiers in front were terrifying. The cavalry supervising the battle used swords, while the officers and soldiers in front used firecrackers.
If that didn't work, he used spears to fight with the cavalry troops supervising the battle.
In order to let more people escape with him, Liu Laoer shouted while running: "Run quickly! The army's firecrackers are about to hit again!"
"Lost! You can't win!"
Liu Laoer's shouts aroused the emotions of other rebels. The rebels in the front row were afraid of the gunfire fired by the official army, so they all ran back. Although these recruits were still high-spirited before the battle, they were robbing Luoyang.
The short-lived excitement it brings is really a tough battle, and these recruits have no resilience.
The collapse of the front row led to the collapse of the back row, and finally the entire rebel army collapsed.
Liu Lao'er thought that the cavalry army supervising the battle would kill the defeated troops, but when Liu Laoer ran to the back of the array, he found that the cavalry army supervising the battle had already run away. As early as when the soldiers in the front row turned around and ran away, the horse army supervising the battle
The soldiers fled in front of the big army.
The horse army was the foundation of Chuangwang. They rushed to the old baggage camp under Kaifeng City, and probably fled into the mountains together with the old baggage camp with many horses.
Liu Laoer rushed towards King Chuang's old camp, hoping to keep up with King Chuang.
Liu Laoer experienced the thrill of being a thief and could no longer be an honest tenant farmer. The life of robbing the maids of wealthy families seemed to be a shiny new world, which made his previous life of more than 20 years gloomy.
Even if King Chuang loses, he still hopes to catch up with King Chuang. As long as he follows King Chuang, he will have a chance to become a thief happily.
As he was running, he suddenly heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves behind him.
Liu Laoer turned around and looked around, and saw thousands of official knights in shining armor, riding tall horses and chasing King Chuang's cavalry. And he happened to be on the route pursued by these knights.
Liu Laoer realized that he was dead. He panicked and stopped running forward. He tried his best to hide to both sides, trying to avoid these fierce officers and knights.
But standing in front of two thousand official knights, he had no way to escape. One of the cavalrymen stretched out his saber on horseback, and the sharp crucible steel saber used the momentum of the horse to cut Liu Laoer's chest. Liu Laoer's whole body
His chest was cut open and blood was dripping from his chest. Liu Laoer screamed and desperately covered the wound with his hands.
But the wound was so big, how could he cover it? More and more blood flowed out, and Liu Laoer gradually lost his strength. He fell to the ground on the outskirts of Kaifeng and never got up.

Li Zhi was riding on the horse, looking at Li Zicheng running further and further away, and shook his head.
Zhong Feng said: "Sir, the intruders have been preparing to escape for a long time. Even if the vanguard group can hunt down some of the slow intruders and cavalry, they may not be able to catch Li Zicheng who is riding a black barge horse."
Li Zhi nodded and said nothing.
Zheng Kaicheng smiled and said: "This time we defeated Li Zicheng, which is also a great achievement. Our army chased down these invaders' cavalry and infantry, and we can get at least more than 10,000 heads. Even if the invaders can bring a few fast horses this time
Escape, but now the bandit-suppressing army from Sichuan and Chu is about to arrive in Henan, and with the army gathered together, there is no possibility for the bandits to make a comeback."
Li Zhi nodded, no longer observing the scene of Master Huben chasing and killing the bandits, and rode towards the center of Kaifeng City.
The ancient city of Kaifeng was flooded many times in history. In the first year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, the city wall of Kaifeng was rebuilt and the earth city was transformed into a brick city. The city wall has a circumference of 20 miles and 200 paces, a height of 3 feet and 5 feet and a width of 2 feet and 1 foot; the city wall is deep
Two feet wide and five feet wide. Li Zhi and a group of officers rode their horses to the bottom of the city wall. They saw that the city wall had no end left and right and was very majestic.
However, no matter how majestic the city wall is, it is useless without dedicated soldiers guarding it. If Li Zhi hadn't come to attack the Xian thieves, I don't know how long Kaifeng City could have been defended.
At this time, the invading army had been severely defeated. Kaifeng City, which was defending the city, had not received the news and still did not dare to open the door.
Li Zhi had already prepared documents to verify his identity, stamped his seal, and shot up from the city wall with a bow and arrow.
For a long time, Li Zhi saw several civil and military officials running to the city wall and looking at him. Then these officials stepped back. After a while, the city gate slowly opened.
Gao Mingheng, the governor of Henan, led dozens of Ming officials to greet Li Zhi outside the city. He raised his hands and said to Li Zhi on the horse: "I didn't know that the Crown Prince and Tutor came to help. I have neglected you. I hope you will forgive me."
Looking behind Li Zhi nervously, Gao Mingheng said again: "Sir, come quickly. Didn't you meet any intruders on the way?"
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Chuangjun? Chuangjun no longer exists!"
