Liu Yong still remembers his first battle experience. At that time, he only participated in the first actual battle after only half a month of enlisting in the army. He still remembers that battle clearly.↑,

It was a battle in eastern Sichuan.

The battle was an ambush with more and less, and he won easily. But when guns and cannons were rushing together and a bandit caught off guard was blown up in front of him, he still vomited.

I couldn't help it, and all the bile I vomited out, and he didn't shoot a shot in the whole battle. After the war, my boss didn't be polite to him and asked them, the new recruits to clean the battlefield and carry the bodies. In the end, they asked them to practice with these bandits, and everyone had to cut the corpses at the head.

He vomited again when the waist knife slashed the neck of the dead body.

However, since then, he has never vomited again. Several fierce battles in eastern Sichuan, and the siege and killing Zhang Xianzhong was the most dangerous battle since he joined the army. They fought in that battle very fiercely and almost couldn't control the situation. That time, he followed the emperor, rushed desperately, and suffered several setbacks.

Since that fierce war, Liu Yong has not been afraid of death when he fought, and is nicknamed Liu Crazy.

Recalling the past, Liu Yongbusheng sighed. If it weren't for the fact that he was always too crazy in war, he wouldn't have been injured again and again. In the end, he even took off one of his waist and had to retire.

"Don't think about those who have nothing, just carry ammunition well. Our mission is to push this 32-pound cannon and his ammunition truck to the city of Luoyang. This is a big guy with thousands of pounds. Each one is worth nothing, and it is unstoppable on the battlefield. We must send it to the battlefield in good condition all the way."

"Yes, captain."

Liu Yong and the others escorted the heavy artillery bench, a Chang Ganon, which was considered a powerful weapon. However, the cannon was too big and heavy, and one cannon had to be pulled by eight horses, and someone had to follow him. When encountering an uneven road, he had to be flattened and pushed and pulled.

The cannon leader looked at Liu Yong with interest.

"Brother, depending on your actions, you have a momentum in the army. Have you done it before?"

Liu Yong took out a bag of Yellow Crane Tower, took a cigarette and handed it to the cannon leader, and he also took one.

The cannon leader took it with a smile, took the box of matches and started to scratch it.

Lighting the cigarette, Liu Yong took a sip.

"The officer is so sharp. I did work in the army before. The army joined the 12th year of Chongzhen, participated in the Battle of East Sichuan, and later participated in the Battle of Jiangbei and the Battle of Southeast Sea. The Battle of Liaodong, and finally retired from the battle of Yanbei."

When the cannon leader heard this, he had participated in so many battles, and almost all the battles of the Chu army. He couldn't help but feel awe.

The cannon leader raised his hand and saluted him.

Liu Yong subconsciously replied with a military salute and immediately came to his senses. He had already discharged from the army. He smiled with some loss, "A hero is not mentioning his courage back then, he has already discharged from the army."

"You are a veteran in the army, you are the ritual."

But he said strangely, "You seem to be the militia captain now?"

Liu Yong was wearing a militia uniform. There was a piece of cloth sewn on his chest, and there were also militia armband marks on his arms, which clearly marked the level of his militia captain.

A veteran of the Chu army like Liu Yong has fought so many battles, but why is he just a militia captain? He doesn't quite understand.

Liu Yong smiled, "It's a long story. I made some mistakes when I surrounded the Tartars in the city of Shenyang, Liaodong."

"Oh!" The cannon leader immediately raised his tone meaningfully, looking like I understood. "Brother, tell me, are you the Manta Tartar woman, or?"

Liu Yong took a puff of cigarette and let the smoke storm in front of him.

When he surrounded Chenyang, he was already the company commander at that time. Once he took the entire company to perform missions. When he passed by a Jurchen farm, he was attacked by a Jurchen man. A brother was killed. The brother was a man with a very good relationship with him and fought side by side for many years. When he was the platoon leader, he was the squad leader. When he was the captain, he was the platoon leader, and when he was the company commander, he was his captain.

He had blocked swords and swords for Liu Yong, and this time he was killed, he was also killed by blocking arrows for him.

The angry Liu Yong killed the Jurchens who attacked the sneak attack and even broke into the Zhuangzi. In a rage, he led people to slaughter nearly 100 people in the Zhuangzi, leaving no one of them, men, women, and young.

Because of this, the military judge was going to shoot him at that time.

In the end, Liu Jun issued a special order to pardon him, but he pulled him to the end and became a line infantry again. After that, he fought many times, made contributions and became a captain step by step.

"I was a little too impulsive at that time, but now I regret it. Just kill those attackers, there is no need to kill women and children."

"Real man." The cannon leader gave a thumbs up. Compared to his military qualifications, he considered himself inferior. He joined the army in Guangdong after Liu Jun's southeast tour of the sea. Because he was the artillery technical force, he was promoted faster. Now he is the cannon leader of this 32-pound cannon. There are 38 cannons alone, and there are also guard infantry, etc., with nearly a hundred people in a group of artillery.

"The fate is so good. If it weren't for the injury and discharge from the army, I guess with your blood and courage, if it weren't for the mistakes made at the beginning, I would definitely be the battalion commander now."

The two of them smoked a cigarette, and the shells were loaded.

The cannon leader looked at his subordinates and Liu Yong's subordinates and shook his head helplessly, "Oh, I guess when we pull this guy to Luoyang, the battle will be over."

Liu Yong nodded. The heavy artillery cannons were all over a thousand pounds or even thousands of pounds.

Although they have the strongest firepower, they are also poor in mobility.

He also knew a little about this attack. He heard that Luoyang would have an insider. Therefore, this time it would not be an attack with a formation, it would definitely be a surprise attack.

Since it is a surprise attack, it must be a light attack, and the focus is on speed.

The heavy artillery troops set out last and must have arrived last.

"I regret staying in the heavy artillery battalion now. Every time the front troops have won the victory, we are still halfway. Damn, I just carry cannons every day, and I work so hard, but I can't even drink a sip of soup. It's better to be a cavalry gunner or a mountain howitzer in the vanguard army. Damn, I can have the chance to participate in the war."

Liu Yong smiled and comforted the fat artillery leader, "There are still some battles in the future. Luoyang will take them down, and there will be Xi'an. When the Central Plains are pacified, there will be Liaoyang and Shenyang."

night.

Dark clouds fold the moon.

Zhang Huangyan led his light cavalry battalion to the bottom of Luoyang City.

"Sir, at the third update of the South Gate of Luoyang tonight, the fire will be raised as a sign to open the city gate. The inside and outside will be connected."

"Very good. We are the pioneers in this battle. The tasks given to us are very clear. The first time the city gate is opened. Control the city gate as soon as possible and the troops enter the city."

In the city of Luoyang.

Li Yan was reporting to Li Zicheng about the riots in the soldiers.

"The general, the soldiers are becoming more and more wary. If this continues, the entire Luoyang City will be stolen. We must control it. Otherwise, the morale of the army will be dispersed and we will not be able to evacuate by then."

Li Zicheng nodded and turned to Liu Zongmin and said, "These bastards have almost made enough trouble. You personally take people to the streets to announce military discipline and let the soldiers of each battalion return to the camp."

Liu Zongmin stood up, "I know, I've got it, I've been robbing enough, and I've made trouble. Now the brothers should be satisfied, and the wealthy families in Luoyang City almost understand the power. I'll send an order to withdraw the troops now."

After Li Yan and Li Yan left, Li Zicheng attracted Niu Jinxing again.

"Military advisor, how much gold, silver, food and grass have been raised?"

Niu Jinxing smiled.

"Luoyang is worthy of the center of the world and is an ancient capital of several dynasties. The value of gold, silver and other goods obtained now has exceeded 50 million taels of silver. If it weren't for the real estate of fields, houses and shops, the harvest would have increased a lot."

"So much?" Li Zicheng was greatly surprised.

Fifty million taels, not fifty million yuan.

The silver dollars of the Han Dynasty were exchanged for one tael of silver for two silver dollars. Fifty million taels of silver would be 100 million silver dollars. Li Zicheng felt confused. There was so much silver?

Niu Jinxing quickly explained that it was not 50 million taels of silver, but that it was worth so much.

After all, Luoyang is the most important city in the world. Now it has been a great harvest for the big people in the city. However, the things I copied include both gold and silver, but not only these, but also many antique calligraphy and paintings.

"Many of them are silver coupons. These things are probably not easy to use after they arrive in Guanzhong. But it is still possible to use them through merchants and get them to Guandong."

Niu Jinxing said with a pity, "It's a pity for those houses, land and shops, but the value is not bad."

It was actually the first time that Li Zicheng controlled a big city with a population of hundreds of thousands. In the past, it was just a matter of destroying the state and seizing the county, so it was naturally incomparable to Luoyang's gains.

If we had not kept Zhu Changxun and Lu Huiqi and others as signboards and copied King Fu and all the gentry and merchants in Luoyang, the gold, silver, money and grain they copied would probably have doubled.

"When I left, I set a torch to burn Luoyang. Damn it, I don't need it, and I can't leave it to Liu Jiye." Li Zicheng said hatefully.

However, the property of those big families really made Li Zicheng a little jealous. When he was a postman, he couldn't even understand food. However, all of these big families were rich. In Luoyang City, there were tens of millions of dollars in property, and it was not necessary to say that King Fu's money was the only one who had a fortune of millions of dollars. Others had wealth of millions of dollars.

Many local officials and gentry have more than 100,000 taels of property.

It’s really a stinky smell of wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road.

The rich have a vast house with thousands of buildings, while the poor have no place to stand.

After withdrawing from Guanzhong, the capital of Xi'an was established. When he fell, he had these gold, silver, money and grain, which happened to recruit soldiers and horses.

It was already three o'clock in the night, and Luoyang City gradually fell into tranquility.

The soldiers of the rebel army who had been crazy for two days finally returned to the camp under Liu Zongmin's arms. Each soldier basically robbed the money. Many soldiers were still wearing women's satin clothes, gold and silver bracelets on their hands, pearl necklaces on their necks, gold and silver around their waists, and silver coupons in their arms.

Liu Zongmin just turned a blind eye to this.

Anyway, the big head has already entered the warehouse, and the generals have even taken the big head, so the brothers under them have to be satisfied.

However, when the rebel army was thrilling, countless gentry and people in Luoyang City hated them to the core.

The night breeze is swaying, and it feels a little cool.

Tonight, the garrison of the South Gate was Wang Yinchang, the admiral of the Beijing Camp. He stood on the city wall and stroked the battlements with his hands. He stood quietly for a long time.

Looking back at Luoyang behind him for a long time, he finally turned around and bit his teeth.

"Luoyang cannot be destroyed in my hands, and I cannot make those thieves proud and arrogant."

Taking a deep breath, Wang Yinchang raised his right hand and waved it heavily.

Several fully armed generals beside him nodded immediately, walked aside, and whispered, "Rise the fire!" (To be continued.)
