The consequence of underestimating the enemy is that he will suffer a great loss. This iron rule has been tried and done under any conditions. In fact, Zhu Cilang is not considered to be underestimating the enemy. It’s just that he is too anxious and eager to rush to help Kaifeng City. After all, no one knows how long Kaifeng City can last.

As a major city, once Kaifeng City falls, it is equivalent to giving up the entire Henan. This is extremely unfavorable to the morale of the Ming army or the situation.

Zhu Cilang decided to make a desperate bet and first use the Hu Ben Army and the miscellaneous army of Zhangde Prefecture to besiege Qi County. He tried to conquer Qi County first and give the bandits a warning.

However, this time Zhu Cixuan met his opponent. His opponent was the king's body, which is known as invincible.

What is Wang Tizhong? A traitor, a traitor, a traitor. Wang Tizhong, a powerful general under Li Zicheng, chose to kill his superior Bai Wang and surrender to the Qing Dynasty. He was also very brave in order to defeat him in just one month.

A province was conquered in a month, no matter what kind of person this king body was, but one thing is certain that this person is extremely difficult to deal with.

Long before Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, in order to prevent the Ming Dynasty general Zuo Liangyu from attacking Lao Cang, a 50,000 elite troops were left in Shaanxi. The commander of his subordinate Bai Wang was commanded by his strong general Bai Wang to guard Xiangyang. After Li Zicheng's death, Li Chuang's army was in chaos. When the army asked the generals of Wang Tizhong to take advantage of the chaos to kill their superior Bai Wang and lead the army to surrender to the Qing Dynasty!

The Qing Dynasty asked Han people to shave their hair and change their clothes. Wang Tizhong had the same idea as most Han people. It was okay to kneel down to the Tartars of the Qing Dynasty. It didn’t matter who was his master. But how could his body and hair be damaged by his parents? Shaving his hair and clothes is equivalent to castration and becoming a eunuch. Wang Tizhong and others swear to never obey, and curse the officials who shave their hair and change their clothes.

Unfortunately, there was a surrendered general in Wang Tizhong's army named Jin Shenghuan. This man was a complete traitor. After shaving his head, he immediately asked his army to shave his hair and change his clothes. He was dissatisfied with Wang Tizhong. In order to curry favor with the powerful and nobles of the Qing Dynasty, Jin Shenghuan began to plan how to kill Wang Tizhong.

Wang Tizhong killed his superior Bai Wang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but in the end he was rebelled and killed by his subordinates. It can be said that he was unhappy in retribution.

When Zhu Cixuan arrived at the foot of Qi County with three thousand Tiger Army and eight thousand Zhangde Mansion, Zhu Cixuan had already felt something was wrong.

The command ability of a general can be seen from his formation. Qi County was surprisingly quiet, and the bandits on the city wall did not show any panic. Instead, they obeyed orders. Under the command of the general, they aimed at Zhu Cixuan and others under the city with cold weapons.

"Your Highness, what should we do? Should we fight?" Linghu Yunlong, his subordinate, asked.

At this time, Zhu Cilang had to shoot an arrow on the string. It might be too late for him to withdraw his troops. However, Zhu Cilang made a wrong decision. He gritted the bullet and pulled out his sword: "Siege the city!"

At the beginning of the siege, the Hu Ben Army was different after all. They did not adopt the traditional siege method like other troops. A 3,000-man Hu Ben Army cavalry, plus the 8,000-million-scratch Zhangde Mansion Miscellaneous Army, wanted to attack a Qixian county with 40,000 to 50,000 defenders, because they thought they had a long life.

Li Zicheng's army of 700,000 sieges surrounded Kaifeng City for several months, but it was still unable to capture it. Zhu Cixuan wanted to fight the siege with fewer victory and more, and there was no such example in history.

Of course, Zhu Cilang is not that stupid. He used firearms to suppress it. He used several simple stone throwing cars, and these stone throwing cars were all made of local materials. To be honest, the power of these simple stone throwing cars is worrying. Even a stone the size of a basketball is powerless to throw onto the city wall.

Of course, Zhu Cixuan didn't want to use this stone throwing cart to throw stones. The weapons inside the stone throwing cart were replaced with bags of explosives, sulfur, charcoal and black gunpowder made of saltpeter, and bags of them were lit up. Then, the stone throwing cart started and all greeted to the walls of Qi County.

Indeed, it was a big blow to the subordinates in the king's body at the beginning. With the deafening rumbling sounds, explosives on the city walls continued to explode. Countless bandits were bombed and flew away and were defeated.

However, Wang Tizhong soon commanded his subordinates: "Don't run, don't run around and make trouble. Get close to the clutch, defend, defend!"

The bandits on the city wall were hoarse, and the bandits were in chaos in the face of fierce artillery bombing. However, after the restraint of the bandits and the brief chaos, they quickly calmed down.

Zhu Cixuan's eyes showed a hint of fear. The bandits on the city wall were difficult to deal with. When he led his troops to fight, Zhu Cixuan had never encountered such an opponent.

There have been many powerful characters, but this is the first time Zhu Cilang has encountered a general like the bandits.

At this time, Zhan Yunpeng came over: "Your Highness, do we still have to continue to attack the city?"

"Stop the attack, order the soldiers to retreat fifty miles behind the Hu Ben Army!"

Zhu Cixuan had already seen something wrong. Perhaps they shouldn't have come to Qi County. The eight thousand Zhangde Prefecture Miscellaneous Army had no combat effectiveness. After receiving the order from the prince, they began to retreat slowly. In order to prevent the bandits in Qi County from counterattacking, the Hu Ben Army stayed behind the palace.

At this moment, something happened.

"Kill! Kill me, capture the prince alive, and give you a reward of ten thousand taels!"

I don't know where, a bandit suddenly appeared. The black bandit army had a variety of weapons in their hands. They screamed and rushed towards the eight thousand miscellaneous army that was retreating.

Zhu Cilang panicked: "No, there is an ambush!"

Wars are always fair and will never deliberately tend toward one side. The Ming army cannot move forward so far. The bandits will never be so vulnerable.

The bandits who were able to overthrow the entire Ming Dynasty were not as unbearable as they seemed on the surface. On the contrary, their actual combat power was very strong. If Li Zicheng had conquered Beijing City and tried his best to restrain the troops, and then continued to go north to recruit Wu Sangui, and then attacked Huang Taiji, with Li Zicheng's combat power at that time, he might not have been able to beat Huang Taiji.

But later, Li Zicheng began to become arrogant and extravagant, and gave in to his great country.

It turned out that the king's body in Qi County was just a bait, and the real main force was more than 30,000 people from Bai Wang. When they set off from Huaiqing Prefecture and arrived in Qi County, they stabbed Zhu Cilang in the butt.

Who said that bandits do not use military tactics to fight? They knew that Zhu Cixuan's army could not conquer Qi County. When the Ming army officers and soldiers retreated, Bai Wang's army began to attack.
