Luo Rucai had many soldiers and generals, second only to Li Zicheng. Unlike Li Zicheng, he was regarded as the main target of attack by the court and suffered great ups and downs. Luo Rucai always maintained a strong force. Because of this, he had time to organize and train the death squads, firmly occupying the second position among the rogues. This time, Luo Rucai joined forces to attack Kaifeng, and his contribution was very great. A large number of bandit leaders joined Luo Rucai's banner. He was fully capable of fighting Li Zi in his own court. But the second-in-command of the bandits died suddenly. When people rushed to his tent, they found that Luo Rucai was bleeding from all his orifices and his eyes were cracked. He was lying straight on the bed, already gushing blood and dead. Seeing such a miserable scene, all the thieves were frightened. Especially Luo Rucai's confidants, they threw themselves on the corpse and howled bitterly. After crying for a while, several confidants stood up and wiped away their tears. The top priority is to find out the cause of Luo Rucai's death. After investigation, everyone quickly discovered that the blood flowing out of Luo Rucai's seven holes was all black. When tested with a silver needle, it turned out to be poisonous! This is incredible, someone poisoned Luo Rucai to death! Who is it? Who killed Leader Luo? Everyone was questioning loudly, shouting wildly, and their voices were fierce. They wanted to avenge the leader, find the murderer who poisoned him, and cut him into pieces. This group of people shouted wildly, but four people outside the tent were frightened. After poisoning Luo Rucai, Sun Kewang wanted to escape from the military camp and take Luo Rucai's head to ask for credit. Li Dingguo put forward a different idea. He believed that after seeing Luo Rucai's death, the rogue bandits would definitely lose their footing. They would not cause trouble for themselves. On the contrary, they would point the finger at Li Zicheng! Almost everyone has a simple understanding that whoever makes a big profit has a big motivation! Luo Ru is the big bandit who can compete with Li Zicheng. If you kill him, you can unify the bandits. The plague is currently prevalent in Kaifeng, so we just need to work harder. We can conquer Kaifeng and occupy the Central Plains. He who conquers the Central Plains conquers the world. For an ambitious man like Li Zicheng, all he has to do is enter Kaifeng. The conditions for him to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor are ripe. But when that time comes, Luo Rucai, who also has a large number of troops, will become his biggest stumbling block. Since we have to face him sooner or later, it is better to take action now, kill Luo Rucai in advance and seize his soldiers. One move determines the outcome. This is the most natural thought when people encounter Luo Rucai's sudden death. When someone puts it forward, someone immediately agrees. "That's right, the blind intruder has long disliked us. He must have done the secret poisoning." "No wonder the blind intruder couldn't come over. I'm afraid he already knew about it and didn't dare to face our brothers." "He If you don¡¯t dare, let¡¯s go find him and ask for an explanation.¡± ¡°Yes, we will avenge Mr. Luo!¡±¡ The more people talk, the more excited they become. Luo Rucai was not very ambitious, but he was shrewd and capable. After every robbery, he generously distributed it to his subordinates. Many people were loyal to him. Thousands of people soon gathered, led by Luo Rucai's confidants, and headed straight for Li Zicheng's camp. Watching the figure retreating, Sun Kewang excitedly picked up Li Dingguo with one arm and spun around on the ground twice. "Dingguo, you are so good!" Li Dingguo blushed. It's like a big apple, but it's embarrassing to be praised. "Three brothers, this group of people has no leader, and they are definitely no match for Li Zicheng. However, after this battle, the bandits will definitely lose their power. Let's wait and see what happens, and wait for His Highness Dong Wang to send troops, and then we will make great achievements!" Ai Nengqi Somewhat reluctantly, he said: "Fourth brother, do you want us to join in the trouble and take advantage of the situation?" Li Dingguo frowned and looked into the distance. He saw only dots of fire and shouts of killing. It was obvious that a battle had broken out. . "No need, we have too few people to act rashly. It's better to hide in the camp and maybe win Li Zicheng's trust!" With a smile on his face, Sun Kewang patted Li Dingguo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, you Come on, you have the spirit of a general, and all my brothers will listen to you." The four brothers hurriedly retreated to the tent and waited for the news. Fortunately, the four of them acted in time. Just as they left, Liu Zongmin, the general who broke into the camp, led his men and horses to kill them. It turned out that Luo Rucai's camp was in chaos, and Liu Zongmin, who was ordered to patrol, rushed over immediately. Halfway through, he heard that "Cao Cao" was dead, and Liu Zongmin almost fell off his horse in fright. Luo Rucai has hundreds of thousands of people under his command. If he dies, his people will definitely not let it go. If they cause trouble, the consequences will be disastrous. Liu Zongmin led the peopleHe hurried over and rushed into Luo Rucai's camp from the outside. Seeing Luo Rucai's henchmen heading towards Chuangying, Liu Zongmin immediately pursued them. A brutal fight took place among the army of rogue bandits. First, Luo Rucai's confidants rebuked Li Zicheng for being unethical, secretly murdering his brothers, and being despicable. Li Zicheng was unfairly wronged, and he still wanted to explain, but the other party was not willing to listen. Someone secretly shot an arrow at Li Zicheng, hitting his shoulder. Although it did not penetrate deeply, it completely detonated the situation. Li Zicheng's subordinates quit, but the good boy still dares to attack in secret, you are so unethical! With red eyes, both sides rushed together, raised their swords simultaneously, and fought together. They were fighting hand-to-hand, one by one, and two or three people were even injured at the same time. There is no way to retreat, only a desperate fight. People say that Luo Rucai's men were good at fighting, and the fight was indeed unusual. They were more ruthless, crazier, and more desperate. They killed Li Zicheng in a frantic manner and beat him back steadily. The ground was littered with corpses. The injured Li Zicheng was stabbed again in the leg, which made him more injured, not to mention how embarrassed he was. Fortunately, Liu Zongmin came at this time and attacked fiercely from behind. Luo Rucai's men were in chaos. Li Zicheng immediately summoned his troops. Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, Hao Yaoqi, and almost all his subordinates led their troops to kill Luo Rucai's men. Surrounded tightly. You come and I go, killing each other inextricably. In the end, Luo Rucai's men were too few in number, and they gradually fell into a disadvantage. Li Zicheng was so angry that he concentrated his archers and gunmen and attacked repeatedly without sparing any mercy. By daybreak, more than 8,000 of Luo Rucai's men had been wiped out. At the same time, Li Zicheng also lost nearly 5,000 men and horses, with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. This night, the losses were even more severe than the previous days of fighting combined. But Li Zicheng was not discouraged. On the contrary, he was arrogant. Luo Ru was finished, and all his followers were dead. At this time, he was the well-deserved king of the bandits! Although he did not order Luo Rucai to be killed, the man named Luo died at this time. It was simply God helping him. "Liu Zongmin, Hao Yaoqi, Li Guo, take your troops and immediately clean up Luo Rucai's remaining troops, tell the other battalions to come and congratulate you, I, uh, it's me, I'm going to be the emperor, you are all mine. The founding hero of the country! " "I heard that you are all Luo Rucai's confidants. Now that he is finished, you should follow him!" Liu Zongmin licked his lips and said fiercely. Li Dingguo was calm and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Liu, if you want to kill us, just kill us. Why do you need to give us a charge?" "A charge? Don't you?" Sun Kewang pointed to his left arm and gave a wry smile. "Mr. Liu, the villain's arm is injured. Luo Rucai is reluctant to send a medical officer. We are just a knife. The blade is curled and rusty, so we just throw it aside. Anyway, we have already thought about it and die. Just die, there is nothing to be afraid of. " Liu Zongmin hesitated when he heard this. He waved his hand and called his men to inquire about the situation. As expected, Luo Rucai did not treat these young suicide squads well. Looking at several handsome young men, Liu Zongmin suddenly developed a love for talents. "Boy, you are a good man. Luo Rucai treated you badly. I, Liu Zongmin, will not treat you badly. From now on, you are my subordinates!" After a civil strife, although Li Zicheng took control of all the troops as he wished, he obviously felt Many people who are close to Luo Rucai will inevitably end up in a situation where a rabbit will die and a dog will be cooked. They dare not oppose themselves openly, but they secretly compete with each other. The human heart is the most mysterious thing, and Li Zicheng had no choice. He could only order to immediately strengthen the offensive and capture Kaifeng, trying to use the war to shift the focus. The cruel battle began again, with a flood of bandits swarming to the top of the city, and the Ming army above resisted to the death. He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu each took charge of one side and went into battle to kill the enemy in person. From morning to noon, from noon to night, even if it was dark, Li Zicheng did not relax. He stayed up to fight at night and siege the city without sleep. "Work harder, work harder, the plague is prevalent in the city, and there are not many people left. Kill all the people in front of you, and Kaifeng will be ours!" Li Zicheng rode a big black horse and kept preaching to each team, driving away a group of people. Groups of hungry people rushed to the city. He ordered the artillery to be concentrated together and blast the city walls. The city wall of Kaifeng was soaked twice by river water and was no longer strong enough. A cannon blast caused pieces of bricks and stones to fall off. He Renlong and others were frightened because they didn't know when the bandits would come in. After finally waiting for an opening, He Renlong stared with blood-red eyes.??, covered in blood, found Hong Chengchou, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Master Zhongcheng, the brothers have been fighting sleeplessly for a long time. Why are there still a bunch of people in the city who have nothing to eat? They Don¡¯t do anything, I won¡¯t accept it!¡± ¡°You have to accept it even if you don¡¯t accept it!¡± Du Qing stood up from beside Hong Chengchou and sneered: ¡°General He, the prince has his own arrangements on how to deal with the bandits, you just have to fight. "Boom!" While he was talking, there was a sudden thunderous sound, and a section of the city wall was blasted open by a cannon, leaving a gap of more than ten feet. When the intruders outside the city saw this scene, they were simply ecstatic. The moment they had been waiting for finally arrived. , they swarmed towards the city. This group of people went on and on, desperate, as if there was gold and silver waiting for them in the city. The bandits who led the charge into the city suddenly looked up and suddenly noticed a group of soldiers running quickly across the street. "Kill all the hawks and dogs of the imperial court!" They continued to rush forward, but what greeted them was a burst of earth-shattering gunfire. The bandits in the front row rolled and fell to the ground. (To be continued.)
