Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 446 The Ming Army Guarding Luoyang

Luo Rucai, the commander of the peasant army who called himself Cao Cao, did not expect that a young woman would violently kill people. She didn't know how she died until she died.

Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and other former leaders of the peasant army were frightened by Gao Guiying, and they froze in place when they came to force the palace, not daring to move.

Gao Guiying glared at them: "You are the veterans of our Dashun Army. Without you, our Dashun Army would not be what it is today. But everyone, don't forget, if it weren't for our new King Chuang, our Dashun Army would not be what it is today." The capital to compete for the world? Now we are sitting on the same boat, we are both prosperous and we are all lost, but the elders don’t want to work together to defeat the enemy, but instead bully a weak woman, isn’t it a joke for the Liao Army?!”

Weak woman?If Luo Rucai, who was killed simply and neatly, heard these words, he would burst into tears.A peasant army leader who had been on the battlefield for so many years was actually killed by a weak woman.

"Now is the time when our Dashun Army is in danger. If we don't organize our forces to counterattack, we will all become prisoners of the Liao Army, and we may be pushed to the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City to be beheaded. Instead of fighting among ourselves and waiting to die, It's better to fight hard, maybe in the future everyone will be able to enshrine the land and seal the border." Gao Guiying said firmly.

Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and others were also moved by Gao Guiying's instigation.The Fu Liao army can be regarded as the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they can exterminate this group of "rebels" openly and aboveboard without any psychological burden!
"Although you are Li Zicheng's wife, you are still a weak woman. If you want to lead an army of hundreds of thousands by yourself, you may not be able to convince the crowd." Gao Yingxiang told the truth.

In the era of patriarchy, it is really difficult for a female commander in the army to convince the masses.

"That's why I need the help of all the elder uncles. Each of you leads an army. We will not necessarily lose in a decisive battle with the Fu Liao army on the battlefield of thousands of miles. As long as we can make a comeback, the territory of Ming Dynasty will belong to the elder uncles in the future." Guiying doesn’t even want an acre of land.” Gao Guiying said.

"Okay, let's help you. Go and meet the Liao army for a while to see what they can do to defeat Li Zicheng." Seeing Gao Guiying's concession, Zhang Xianzhong and others said one after another.

"There are more than [-] people under Hong Chengchou's Ming army in Luoyang. They are all soldiers recruited by Qinchuan. They hate us so much that it will be difficult to capture them for a while. I plan to use part of the force to hold back the Luoyang Ming army, and then lead the main force Go forward hand in hand, cross the Yellow River and fight the Fuliao Army in Taiyuan Mansion. What do you guys think?" Gao Guiying said.

"Although you make arrangements, everyone is fooling around on the knife's edge, and it depends on who is more desperate in a war!" Zhang Xianzhong said confidently.

"That's right, today our brothers from the 36th Battalion gathered together to go out again, let the Fuliao Army see how powerful our 36th Battalion brothers are!" The commanders of the Peasant Army were gearing up, eager to catch the Fuliao Army and beat them up .

In the city of Luoyang, the capital of the gods, food has already encountered a crisis. Hong Chengchou and Zuo Liangyu are worried all day long, thinking about how to save food.However, if the soldiers did not have enough to eat, Luoyang City would easily be breached by the besieged peasant army because the soldiers were weak.This contradiction made them extremely painful.

"What's the matter, don't the rogues outside the city intend to withdraw?" Cao Wenzhao limped over on crutches.

He was wounded by Li Zicheng's artillery in the Battle of Northern Shaanxi. He was seriously injured and fell into a coma for a month before waking up.Mostly due to the blessings of the heavens, Cao Wenzhao recovered his life, but his left leg was scrapped.

"There are still tens of thousands of rogues outside the city. It seems that they are determined to capture Luoyang City. If Luoyang City falls, it means that the entire Heluo area will fall into the hands of intruders." Hong Chengchou frowned.

"This is not what I am most worried about. Even if Luoyang City falls, we can break through with our troops. But I heard from the bandits outside the city that the capital has been captured by Li Zicheng, and the Ming court has been overthrown. What they said is true, the whole world has become a world of intruders, even if we break out from here, although the world is big, where can we shelter?" Zuo Liangyu walked over and said.

Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao were silent.They also have a vague premonition.Besieged by rogue bandits for a long time in Luoyang City, it has been a long time since the imperial court sent any reinforcements or liaison envoys. They also lost contact with the imperial court dozens of days ago, which aggravated their fear.

There are only a few possibilities for such a situation to occur. One possibility is that the imperial court is impatient and has no time to worry about them who are trapped in Luoyang. Another possibility is that, as the rogues outside the city said, the Ming Dynasty has been destroyed by Li Zicheng.No matter which possibility it is, it is an extremely bad thing!

"You don't have to worry too much. If the imperial court is overthrown by thieves, then Li Zicheng should personally lead his troops to conquer everywhere. Why haven't we seen Li Zicheng in the city yet? We are still besieged by the group of rogues a few months ago , but Li Zicheng sent reinforcements or came to attack us in person, it can be seen that either the intruder is lying, or Li Zicheng is held back by something. Either way is beneficial to us." Cao Wen Zhao found a favorable explanation for his own side in the crisis.

"But we have to prepare for the worst. No matter what, the food in the city won't last long. If the situation of food depletion has not changed, we can only break through to Jiangbei. Even if the capital falls, I believe Nanjing City can hold on for a while," Zuo Liangyu said.

When the three main generals discussed the next strategy, they were not very optimistic about the future.

Suddenly there was a commotion among the soldiers guarding the city wall, making Hong Chengchou and the others look in the direction of the city wall, which was the East City Gate.

"What happened?" Hong Chengchou asked.

"Your Excellency, most of the rogues outside the city have retreated, leaving only ten thousand people. They have given up the idea of ​​attacking!" The city guards happily sent people to report to Hong Chengchou and Zuo Liangyu.

In the eyes of the well-informed Hong Chengchou and the others, this matter has a different meaning.

"Haha, it seems that the intruders have encountered a difficult situation, so they led their troops away in such a panic! There are only a few thousand people outside the city, how can they stand by us? The time to turn defeat into victory has come!" Hong Chengchou was overjoyed.

"I, Cao Wenzhao, was injured by them in my left leg. This time, even if I was sitting on a wooden cart, I will lead my troops to destroy these bandits!" Cao Wenzhao also launched an attack.
