    Facing the rogue bandits swarming into the city, He Renlong went crazy and slashed wildly with the knife in his hand. No rogue bandit could go through a round. There were corpses under his feet. He stepped on the enemy's corpses.  Stride forward, forcing the rogue bandits to retreat.  The morale of the Ming army was boosted. They swung their swords and chopped down a bandit. Blood flowed all over the ground, and the smoke stimulated everyone's senses.  He Renlong cut off a human head and suddenly struck a knife in front of him. He didn't care at all and instead struck back with a knife.  Under normal circumstances, the opponent would definitely parry this sure-kill move of his, but he didn't know that the opponent seemed to be unaware of fear and continued to slash forward. He Renlong had no time to react. He only felt a pain in his shoulder and blood came out.  Since the war started, this was the first time he was injured, and the other party paid a more painful price. He was slashed from the abdomen to the chest with a knife. The cut was a foot and a half long, and blood was pouring out. It looked like he would not survive.  But there was no fear in his eyes, only deep hatred. He Renlong had seen countless lives and deaths, but at this moment, his heart couldn't help but move!  Before He Renlong could think too much, another group of people climbed up from below. They were dressed similarly to the dead people. They each held swords and weapons. Without saying a word, they rushed towards He Renlong to kill him.  He Renlong hurriedly parried, but as soon as the fight started, he felt something was wrong. These boys were not very young, only sixteen or seventeen years old. They didn't know how to defend at all, and they just attacked with their lives.  You cut a knife, and the other party also cut a knife, don't care how much you have the ability to use.  At first glance, their hand-to-hand fighting style is similar to that of the Yizhou soldiers, but if you look closely, you can see the difference. They don't know how to cooperate, and each one only fights alone.  But even so, it would still kill him. He Renlong stabbed the opponent in the chest with his knife.  The young man opposite was full of vitality and was not dead for a moment. He actually grabbed He Renlong's knife, making it impossible for him to pull it back.  At this moment.  The other two people rushed up and struck He Renlong down.  He Renlong had no time to withdraw his weapon, so he could only let go and roll back, avoiding the fatal blow in an extremely ugly way.  In an instant, He Renlong's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Where did this kid come from?  Why are you working so hard!  Before he could react, the opponent rushed forward again. No matter how good his martial arts skills were, he was still afraid of a kitchen knife.  He Renlong could only turn around and run away in a hurry. His movements were a little slower, and he only felt pain in his waist and back. Needless to say, he must have been stabbed.  He Renlong was experienced after all. He didn't hesitate and ran wildly.  At this time, the servants also rushed up to protect He Renlong.  Got the weapon again.  He Renlong ignored the pain, turned around and threw himself into the fight again.  He led his servants to fight with the young soldiers on the opposite side, and the more they killed, the colder his heart became.  The group of people on the opposite side simply didn't know how to die. They were just fighting for their lives. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen servants were killed or injured.  "What a powerful little bastard, let me shoot the arrows!" The archers rushed up and fired a burst of eagle-feathered arrows, killing and wounding more than ten people on the opposite side, and the remaining few were also injured. They saw that they could not make any achievements.  We can only retreat from the city wall.  As they retreated, the bandits gradually stopped attacking and the tide receded.  The battle didn¡¯t last long, but He Renlong was hit by three swords.  Almost losing his life made him angry and scared.  He simply took the corpse on the ground to vent his anger, swung his machete, chopped off the heads one by one, and hung them on the flagpole to vent his anger.  "Your Majesty, the bandit Luo Rucai has a special team under his command. The selected members are all young. And they are all orphans whose parents have died!" Du Qing reported the situation to Zhang Ke.  Hearing this, Zhang Ke couldn't help but be surprised.  "How did the parents of these people die?" "Most of them were killed by the imperial court." Du Qing answered very simply, "Some died of exhaustion while doing corvee service, especially those who were forced to death by collecting taxes, and some died of starvation.  In short, these young men have a blood feud with the imperial court. Luo Rucai trained them to take revenge and fight very bravely. Today, He Renlong almost fell into the hands of these people. " "So, this 'Cao Cao' is really a talent.  He knows how to use the power of hatred. "This level of stuff can only barely arouse Zhang Ke's interest, but what Du Qing said next surprised Zhang Ke.  "Your Majesty, according to my humble inquiries, Luo Rucai has two to three hundred troops under his command. The leader of them is Sun Kewang, who is Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son." It's him!  Zhang Ke is no stranger to this name. After the defeat of Zhang Xianzhong in later generations, it was Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo who led the Western Army to continue to resist the Qing Dynasty and fight bloody battles in the southwest. Although Sun Kewang surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and became a shameless traitor, Li Dingguo fought until the end.  When a soldier dies, he will look up to the sky and bow his head to the sky.Ashamedly, a great hero!  After killing Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Ke secretly ordered people to inquire about the whereabouts of Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, but no information was obtained.  After all, he is still a child and has no chance to stand out.  Suddenly appearing in Luo Rucai's army is really a twist of fate.  Zhang Ke knocked on the desk and said slowly: "These young men fell into the hands of Luo Rucai. It is a secret act of Mingzhu. Can you find a way to win them over?" "Prince Qi, I heard General Qiao say that I am humble.  After he defeated Zhang Xianzhong, he followed your example and quietly released some prisoners and let them return to the bandits as internal agents of our army. "Hahaha, Qiao Fu is a good learner."  Hurry up! Okay, contact us right away. "  Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai attacked the city for three days in a row, but they didn't gain much except losing troops and generals.  The rogue bandits could also see that Kaifeng Xiongcheng could not be taken easily.  On the fourth day, the bandits changed their strategy. They adopted a siege posture and surrounded Kaifeng.  Then they continued to send small groups of troops to harass and prevent the soldiers and civilians in the city from being peaceful.  The two sides entered a stalemate, and Hong Chengchou breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time his heart became hung up.  He was relieved because the bandits could not attack the city immediately, so he could feel relieved for the time being.  The fear is that the rogue bandits will be under siege for a long time, and there is not much food stored in the city. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. Once there is no food, it will be a dead end.  There was no other way, so Hong Chengchou had to find Zhang Ke again.  This time Zhang Ke met him and introduced his plan.  The two armies of Yue Zixuan and Qiao Fu are advancing quickly. They are like two knives. Yue Zixuan went down from the south of Shanxi to capture Luoyang and blocked Li Zicheng's westward escape route. Qiao Fu seized the front line of Xuchang and Xinzheng to block the rogue bandits.  The road heading south to Huguang.  It only takes twenty days for these two armies to be in place.  At that time, a fierce attack was launched from Kaifeng. Three armies, from three aspects, completely surrounded and strangled the rogue bandits, eradicating the scourge in one fell swoop.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????  After coming out of Zhang Ke's place, Hong Chengchou felt that his bones were two ounces lighter and his body was so light that he wanted to fly.  As expected of a victorious general, his layout is ruthless enough!  If we really follow Zhang Ke's plan, we can wait and see the rogue bandits fall on their backs in twenty days, and they will be defeated like a mountain.  It¡¯s just that Hong Chengchou forgot that it¡¯s not that easy to survive these twenty days.  On the sixth day of the siege, suddenly the soldiers guarding the city heard a sound like a bull roaring in the distance, and white waves swept towards Kaifeng City.  The last time Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng, he dug into the Yellow River and flooded Kaifeng. Now he is repeating the same trick.  Because the Yellow River is higher than the ground, it has long been a suspended river on the ground. The embankment was dug and the river was rushing. In an instant, it reached the foot of Kaifeng City, and the huge city instantly became a water town.  The river water invaded the city, all low-lying areas were flooded, and the city walls were soaked in the river water.  Now even Zhang Ke couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to carry out disaster relief work.  First, they rescued the people in low-lying areas, then strengthened the city and strengthened patrols to prevent trouble and to prevent bandits from taking the opportunity to make a sneak attack.  The Yizhou soldiers were well-trained and disciplined. With them holding the battle, there was no chaos in the city, which made Hong Chengchou and others relax a lot.  ?Compared to last year, the floods are not serious, and the water will recede in seven days at most.  But the next day, He An led a team of people to patrol the city, and suddenly found a man walking and fell down.  He An hurriedly rushed forward, helped the man up and took a look, only to see white foam coming from the corners of his mouth, his body was hot, his face was black and his teeth were clenched, and he was trembling.  He An knew this situation well, it was a plague!  Thinking of this, He An's scalp went numb and he immediately ordered: "Come here, seal off this block and strictly prohibit people from moving around. Notify the military doctor immediately and come over for inspection. Also inform the prince that there is a plague in the city. Let the prince  Make plans early." "Follow your orders!" The soldiers ran out, and soon the military doctor came over.  Most of these doctors were Wu Youxing's disciples. Their understanding of the plague was completely different from previous doctors. They examined the patient's condition and observed the blood sample under a microscope. They quickly determined that it was infection.  plague.  Zhang Ke received the report and knew that the situation was not good. Once the plague was allowed to spread, he was afraid that the consequences would be disastrous, so he hurriedly ordered an investigation throughout the city.    Within half a day, three patients infected with the plague were found one after another. They all became ill because they drank unclean water.  At this time, someone came to report that they found that the bandits were throwing a large number of corpses, human and animal excrement and urine into the city.  Rotten animal carcasses were also found in the dirty water flowing into the city.  This time it is finally clear, what a rogue, he actually engaged in germ warfare!  Zhang Ke was so angry that he gritted his teeth. The Mongols used this method when they attacked the Southern Song Dynasty. But now, we are all Chinese people, and they use such cruel methods. It is an unforgivable crime!  The bandit camp outside the city had no introspection at all. On the contrary, they drank happily. Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, and a large group of this king, who belonged to each king, drank happily.  "Hahaha, thanks to Mr. Xu's ingenious plan, in a few days, all the Ming troops in the city will be dead. Then we will go into the city to receive them, hahaha!" Li Zicheng laughed wildly again.  (To be continued.)
