The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Yan Song nodded: "You're right. Although I designed this game, if Li Zicheng doesn't live up to it and can't defeat Luoyang in 10 days, I must send troops to the front line to support King Fu. Otherwise, the whole world will see , I deliberately designed Fuwang."

Elizabeth was even more proud, and said with a smile: "Am I right? In this way, you still haven't lost the bet?"

Yan Song smirked: "Since you are so sure, why don't you bet with me for three nights?"

Elizabeth snorted: "Just bet!"

Yan Song showed a treacherous smile, which made Elizabeth feel...

It seems that I have been fooled by this treacherous and lustful teacher again.

"Just wait and see. This elder can take you to the front line to watch the battle in person. Test your judgment and mine."

Yan Song said to Shen Shixing that in the name of "private visit in Weifu", he left the capital with Elizabeth, Xu Wei, Hu Zongxian and other confidantes, and went straight to the front line of Henan in Weifu...

The lively Lan Fenghuang and Ah Man also clamored to watch the war, so Yan Song had no choice but to let the pregnant aunt and nephew follow him to relax.

Because of Yan Song's martial arts skills and the newly developed post station system, he made quick work of it and arrived at the battlefield in Henan in only three days.

Luoyang was already under siege at this time.

Yan Song hugged Elizabeth, rode on a horse, and stood on a high place overlooking the besieged Luoyang City.

Luoyang City, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, lived in the middle of the world, guarded by the Yellow River on the left, and had an extremely thick city wall, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The city wall of Luoyang alone is 10 feet high and one foot thick. The city wall is covered with arrow butts and shooting ports, and it is also equipped with a large number of Ming artillery—it’s a pity that it is the Shenwei General Cannon.

Although Yan Song deliberately transferred most of the defenders out of Henan to create opportunities for the peasant army such as Li Zicheng to attack, there was still a whole guard stationed in Luoyang City.

The establishment of a guard in the Ming Dynasty basically has more than 6000 people.

Although the original military system was corrupt and the guards were often dissatisfied with the establishment, after Yan Song's strict reform of the military system, the situation of empty pay has been greatly reduced.The guard stationed in Luoyang, 4.4 has also been fully staffed, reaching 6000 people.

Of course, facing Li Zicheng's army of millions of peasants, the city walls, cannons and 6000 regular troops are not enough.But this Luoyang City is stationed by the most powerful prince in the world——Fu Wang.

King Fu, according to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, can have a prince's guard.

According to the rules, the number of royal guards does not exceed 1000.

But today, many royal guards are overstaffed, which is very common. It is not for rebellion, but for pretense and suppression of peasants. The court also turned a blind eye and acquiesced to this phenomenon.Anyway, even if there were a few thousand more people, it would be natural for the palace to rebel.

However, Fu Wang is an exception.

. .

Chapter 1849 King Fu Cries in Scared 【4】

Fu Wang has always been an ambitious person, so he began to bribe the officials of the military department of the imperial court more than ten years ago, let the military department turn a blind eye, and expanded the size of the guard by 5 times, reaching 5000 people, and spared no expense. to the teeth.

After the refugee rebellion, he quickly found an excuse to guard against refugees and bandits, and expanded the size of the palace guard from the previous 5000 to 5.

Although the royal guards formed later lacked training, that is, the level of militias brought in from all walks of life, their equipment was really good. If they were guards in the upper city, they would be able to act like dogs and fight well.

In this way, when Li Zicheng came to the city of Luoyang with an army of one million, Fu Wang had a lot of good cards in his hand, with more than 6 regular troops, he was by no means a weak chicken.

At this time, the battlefield situation presented to Yan Song, Elizabeth and others was such a magnificent picture.

In the city of Luoyang, which is ten feet high and has the Yellow River as a moat, 13 people, numbering as many as 6, and the Luoyang defenders, with bright helmets and bright armor, cannons and blunderbusses, are busy reinforcing the city defenses.

Under the city of Luoyang, there are 12 routes, Li Zicheng's army of more than a million Chuang Wang, flying the overwhelming banners of Chuang Wang, as well as the banners of all kinds of forcing the king, chaotic like locusts, besieging the city overwhelmingly.

Yan Song even saw that among the so-called millions of rebels, there were still many old and weak women and children following them, who were eating rice...

Yan Song: "..."

Elizabeth: "..."

The poor Ming people were delayed by Li Zicheng to go to various parts of Southeast Asia to enjoy the free tropical sunshine, beaches, and beautiful sea water, but they had to be coerced by "King Li Chuang" to help the old and the young in the ice and snow, and walked from northern Shaanxi with difficulty. Go to Henan and participate in some "anti-Ming events"!

Foolish common people, it is true that the prosperity of the common people and the death of the common people are bitter.

Thinking of this, Yan Song sighed.

At this time, in the camp of the million peasant army, bursts of loud horns sounded.

More than a dozen commanders in bright armor walked towards Luoyang City proudly.

Yan Song used a telescope to look from a distance.

This was the first time he saw Li Zicheng.

This Li Zicheng is worthy of being the King of Chuang.

He was wearing a golden armor and a glittering golden cloak. Under his crotch was an extremely handsome steed.

On this battlefield, who dares to dress so flamboyantly, is it Chuang Wang?

Behind him, there is a sturdy and strong man, holding up a big banner, which reads "Do justice for the sky, Bo Yuntian helps the world, Generalissimo of the Anti-Ming Rebel Army in the world, #￥%#￥# Omit a few Ten words... Li Zicheng!"

Yan Song looked at it for a long time, and finally read the name of this banner before he was suffocated, and couldn't help feeling...

It is said that the bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty, and that there are many old titles in this pavilion. I did not expect that once the peasants revolted, they would have longer titles than the old titles of this pavilion!

It is said that the city can play, but who knows that it is the country people who can really pretend.

Li Zicheng stood under the city of Luoyang, looked up at the city, and shouted: "This king is Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, let Zhu Houxun, the king of blessing, come to see me!"

Behind him, millions of peasant soldiers shouted together: "Zhu Houxun come out!"
