Ever since he learned that the bandit army was coming to kill, Hong Chengchou had been very busy. ¡Ñ, first ordered all nearby villages and towns to retreat into Kaifeng, and then strengthened the walls and cleared the country. Organize the people, repair the city walls, and work overtime to supervise the production of weapons. He also arranged for minor officials to go to the major families, inform them of their interests, and asked them to send troops to help the court deal with the bandits. He used all the tricks of coercion and inducement, and finally summoned more than 3,000 people. The children and servants of these wealthy families are well fed, warmly clothed, have meat on their bodies, and seem to be in good shape. Whether it can be used or not will have to be put on the battlefield. Hong Chengchou was not sure. However, he knew that there was another great god in Kaifeng. If it didn't work out, he would take action against Zhang Ke. "It's strange that Zhang Ke didn't worry at all when facing the surging bandits, and handed over all defense to Hong Chengchou. He just focused on being an otaku, which made Hong Chengchou very angry. What kind of trick is Zhang Ke playing? Does he want to see himself laughing, or does he want to perish together with the bandits? Thinking of Zhang Ke's disobedient behavior, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. If it really comes to that point, what should he do? Just when Hong Chengchou was worried, Du Qing found him. "Master Hong, the prince asked me to inform you that there is no need to worry about mere bandits. The prince does not want to reveal his trump card too early. What he is afraid of is that the bandits will be frightened and flee. This time, the prince will come up with a spoonful of stew, at least to kill Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai. It¡¯s all ruined!¡± What a loud tone! Hong Chengchou couldn't help being surprised. How cunning the bandits were. The court had made several dragnets to trap them, but they had escaped. It was simply unbelievable that Zhang Ke could kill the bandits without even making a single move. Then I thought about it, Zhang Ke has been leading troops in wars these years. There are indeed some mysterious things, maybe he has a way. "Haha, with the prince, the official will have a backbone. Please ask Mr. Du to report back to the prince. The official will do his best to give the bandits a good look." Turning around, the vanguard of the bandits entered. Although they were only the vanguard of Kaifeng, they covered the area they passed. The dust was flying, and thousands of bandits were riding on horses, shouting loudly and shouting wildly. Someone even took the lead and rushed towards the city. The defenders on the city head immediately replaced them with bows, arrows and firecrackers. The bandits retreated without even making a single contribution, leaving behind more than a dozen corpses. Everyone¡¯s mood is not relaxed, on the contrary. My heart was in my throat. Nearly an hour later, dust started to rise, horns blared, and groups of bandits rushed toward Kaifeng. Every flag. It¡¯s just a journey of people. Under the banner, there was a dense crowd of people standing there, as dense as ants. Hong Chengchou raised his clairvoyance. Looking carefully, there were even many children and women standing in front of the team, their faces covered with mud. The clothes on their bodies were uncovered, and some held tattered knives and guns in their hands, and some just had wooden sticks in their hands. They are all cannon fodder for the bandits. Due to the serious famine, many people starve to death. As long as they give out a little food, countless people will follow. They have no fear. There is no difference between living and dead. It is even more comfortable to die. ! Facing such an opponent, Hong Chengchou was really scared. He simply couldn¡¯t imagine what these people would do if they rushed into the city! ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of a total of about 40 or 50 big flags. Based on the calculation of 10,000 people per big flag, 450,000 rogue bandits were killed. As for the city, apart from Zhang Ke's men, there are only two troops, He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu, with a total of less than 30,000 people. It's hard to say whether they can hold it! Woohoo The sound of the desolate horn sounded, and the banner flashed among the crowd of Liu Kou, and two people rushed towards Kaifeng. The first ones were the hungry people, who rushed forward in a daze. While running, someone would fall down, and the people behind would step on their companions' bodies and continue moving forward. Cold, heartless, simply devoid of human emotions. The soldiers guarding the city couldn't help but feel terrified. "Useless things, touch your crotch to see if you still have the guts?" A roar like thunder made everyone tremble, and saw a big black man wearing a bright helmet and armor standing in front of everyone. The man's body is majestic, and his beard is as curved as a big ball. His eyes are extremely sharp and fierce. He is none other than He Renlong, who is known as a madman. When he saw the bandits rushing up, not only was he not afraid, he even licked his lips bloodthirstyly, as if he had seen prey. Yes, that¡¯s what He Renlong thought. He was originally a general under Yang Sichang and had made many meritorious deeds. He originally thought he could get the position of general ping thief, but he didn¡¯t expect it to be taken away by Zuo Liangyu. He Renlong wanted to make meritorious service in the first battle and seal the general.?Why, Zhang Ke has made him a prince, that's what a man should do. "Little bastards, cheer up, the bandits are coming." Boom boom boom! The artillery at the top of the city has already fired. Thanks to Zhang Ke, the defenders' cannons are also equipped with explosive shells. Once fired, it will cause serious damage. Shrapnel explodes among the rogue bandits, and masses of people fall down. He Renlong grinned wildly, feeling very proud. Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others outside the city could not help but frown. "After all, the imperial army's artillery fire is sharp, I'm afraid many people will die." "Just die, there is nothing to feel bad about!" Luo Rucai laughed and said: "How many of these hungry people are there, even if they are all dead, we can win Kaifeng also made a lot of money." Li Zicheng nodded and said, "I hope so." The battle became more and more brutal, and a large number of hungry people died on the way to the charge. However, the soldiers at the top of the city were not easy either. Due to their lack of training, they got it. The artillery was not willing to fire even a single shot. When it arrived on the battlefield, its rate of fire was extremely slow, and it also blew up two guns, killing more than a dozen soldiers, and almost made He Renlong's nose crooked with anger. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the artillery fire at the top of the city weakened, the army of bandits rushed to the bottom of the city in one breath. They quickly erected ladders and rushed towards the top of the city. Each villain was like an ant, and the soldiers in the city were merciless, especially He Renlong. He waved the machete in his hand, and with one strike, the bandit was killed. Blood spattered on his face, and broken flesh and bones even hung on his face. With his beard, this guy didn't care at all. Instead, he became mad and led his servants to rush wherever there was trouble. Killing bandits was like chopping melons and vegetables. He was really a fierce general! "King Chuang, that person is He Renlong!" Li Zicheng looked carefully through his clairvoyance, and couldn't help but said to Luo Rucai next to him: "Cao Cao, do you have a way to kill this guy?" Luo Rucai smiled slightly: "Don't say it, really. I have a bunch of boys in my hands, let them kill Madman He's majesty!" With a wave of his hand, a group of people walked out from the side, led by a young man in his early twenties, wearing armor and full of heroic spirit. Luo Rucai smiled and said: "Sun Kewang, did you see that the guard on the city is called Madman He? Your godfather also suffered a loss at his hands back then. Go and kill him!" The young man bit his lip and raised his voice. With their spears in hand, more than 200 death squads rushed forward like a whirlwind. (To be continued)
