Chapter 132 There is an ambush
Shortly after the team at Mengjin Ferry was killed, the soldiers under Li Zicheng discovered this scene and immediately reported it layer by layer, and finally reported it to Li Zicheng's account.
Li Zicheng, who heard the news, was furious and slapped the table and scolded Meng Jin's guards for being incompetent, and ordered him to be imprisoned. Then Li Zicheng ordered the north crossing of the Yellow River and prepared to attack Huaiqing Prefecture, and chased and killed the officials who dared to kill his soldiers.
At this time, a young man said, "Master, I will think this matter is not possible."
"Oh? What's wrong? Let's talk about it, General Li." Li Zicheng said slowly with a smile in his eyes.
But the young man said, "The King of Chuang, the reason why the official army created killings in Mengjin was to lure our army into anger and attack Huaiqing Prefecture in order to win time for defending Kaifeng. Therefore, the last general believes that we should attack Kaifeng with all our might. This is the city of Henan. As long as we attack Kaifeng, reinforcements from all over the country will gather in Kaifeng. At that time, we only need to send troops to surround Kaifeng and take the opportunity to defeat those reinforcements. At that time, Kaifeng will be an isolated city without any reinforcements..."
At this time, a woman in red looked at the young man, and then said to Li Zicheng: "King of Chuang, my husband is right."
Li Zicheng laughed and said, "Madam Hong, if you don't say it, I know that General Li Yan is right. I know. The reason you say this is to be afraid that others will laugh at Li Yan? Who among us doesn't know? Haha..."
Everyone in the account burst into laughter when they heard this.
When everyone finished laughing, Li Zicheng waved his hand and said loudly: "Tell me the order, leaving 50,000 troops to guard Luoyang. I personally led 30,000 troops to attack Kaifeng."
"Ah? King of Chuang, 30,000 troops? It is not enough to complete our plan. Is the number of people a little less?" Li Yan, a young man who spoke before, said immediately when he heard that Li Zicheng only led 30,000 troops.
But Li Zicheng smiled and said, "General Li doesn't know anything. When the Henan Governor Li Fengxian heard that we were attacking Luoyang, he sent several reinforcements from Kaifeng to rescue him. Now these people are still on the road and have no time to turn back. So Kaifeng City is just some old, weak, women and children. I only need to lead an army of 30,000. Before the reinforcements return to Kaifeng, I can directly break the city in one fell swoop when the other party is panicked."
"Although the success rate is relatively high, it's a bit risky after all." Li Yan said with concern with a hint of worry on his face.
Li Zicheng laughed and said, "I was originally doing a rebellious business. I have done too many risks. Now I live more nourishing than Chongzhen. I seek wealth and honor in danger. If I don't get into the tiger's den, how can I get a tiger's son? This matter is settled."
The Hongmao on the side heard this but did not support Li Yan, but said loudly: "The King of Chuang said it well. This time, the last time will be willing to follow the King of Chuang to attack and open the seal."
Li Zicheng was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay, since that's the case, let you lead 3,000 elite cavalry as the vanguard and raid Kaifeng."
"I will obey the order." The Hongniang clasped her fists happily to take the order, and then went down to select the troops and prepare to go to the war with Li Zicheng's arrow.
The Hongniang was very quick and mobilized all the troops in just one hour. She ordered the soldiers to move forward lightly with only three days of dry food and go directly to Kaifeng.
"Ga, ga..." The Hongniang led her troops in front, riding a red horse and striving forward. This time she not only wanted to be a vanguard, but also took advantage of the emptiness of Kaifeng City and directly attacked Kaifeng City in one fell swoop, so that she could make the first contribution to this battle.
"This time I attacked a provincial capital. If I can conquer it with lightning speed, my Hongniang will become famous all over the world. My husband is unparalleled in wisdom and strategy. My Hongniang will be invincible in every battle. We are both united and virtuous, and we will become a good story and leave a name in history."
Hong Niang was very excited. This battle was just a stepping stone for her to make achievements and make a name for thousands of people. She believed that after this battle, she would be Qin Liangyu among the rebel army and would be famous all over the world.
The team led by Hong Niangzi was galloping all the way. When she arrived less than fifty miles away from the lockdown, she had already successfully left the official troops returning to Kaifeng far behind. She believed that when her team came to Kaifeng City, she would definitely be able to catch the enemy off guard and break the city in one fell swoop.
"My boys, it's time for us to make achievements. We must step up our actions and make sure to arrive at Kaifeng City before dark." Hong Niang was very excited. She believed that her soldiers would be very excited. This battle would give these soldiers under her command generous rewards.
"You can see Kaifeng City through the dense forest in front. Hehe, I think after hearing the sound of horse hooves, those stupid officials probably thought it was theirs to come back."
With a cold smile on his face, the first horse was to go to the jungle.
The knights under her command were not willing to fall behind and quickly followed the Hongniang.
However, when the Hongniang led the team to the middle of the dense forest, she suddenly heard the dense sound of breaking through the air.
Then he saw arrows shooting towards the cavalry like locusts.
"No, I was ambushed, but how could this be possible?" Hong Niangzi looked in disbelief, but she knew that this was the reality. When the soldiers under her command were attacked by feather arrows, they were also panicked. The screams from time to time made the remaining knights shocked.
"Kill out!" At this time, Hongniang had no way to move forward. The other party was hiding in the woods, and the horses couldn't get through. However, the feather arrows were very dense. In this case, I really didn't know what kind of losses would be caused if I wanted to continue rushing forward? Moreover, Hongniang didn't know what kind of ambush would be encountered at the exit of the dense forest.
So Hong Niang had no choice but to lead the knights under her command back the same way.
However, just as these knights turned their horses and walked back, they were hit by a rain of arrows, causing considerable casualties as the people roared and neighed.
"Damn it, damn it, I was defeated for the first time when I led my army to fight. What kind of face did I have to meet the King of Chuang? If I knew who designed this ambush behind my back, I would definitely not let him go!"
