Chapter 594 Chuang Wang Injured
Niu Jinxing offered a plan: "King, our army is a benevolent and righteous army. We must first make people shout at the city, so that the hungry people in the city can shake them, so that they can open the city gate to meet our army."
Li Yan retorted: "King, this plan is feasible in Luoyang, but not in Kaifeng. Luoyang Fu King was extremely debauchery, but Kaifeng Zhou King opened the warehouse to release grain, which saved many people. The King of Zhou also took out food and pay to reward the three armies. The morale of the military and civilians in Kaifeng City was high, and they were shouting to serve the King of Zhou. This plan might have no effect."
Li Zicheng still followed Niu Jinxing's proposal: "Mr. Li doesn't need to say anything. Well, I still think that Mr. Niu's plan is feasible! Even if it cannot shake the morale of the army in the city, I can take the opportunity to spy on the enemy's situation. The defenders in the city will not fire guns and arrows at the people who are calling, right? You can follow behind to make clear the enemy's situation."
The rebel army sent a group of refugees to the city of Kaifeng with white flags and shouted to the top of the city.
"The military and civilians in the city are kind-hearted and kind-hearted, and love the people. The Central Plains has caused great disasters to save countless people. If the military and civilians in the city are willing to open the city to surrender, the King of Civilians will never kill anyone!" The hungry people shouted to the city from afar.
"Eat and wear fuck. The King of Chuang will not pay any food when he comes. Open the city gate to welcome the King of Chuang. The King of Chuang will not pay any food when he comes! Seek promotion in the morning and seek reunion in the evening. Recently, it is difficult for poor men to live. Open the door early to worship the King of Chuang. Everyone is happy to discipline everyone." The hungry people under the city sang a song.
Chen Yongfu on the top of the city ordered his soldiers to shout loudly: "People under the city, don't be fooled by the bandits! The bandits just put you in front of you and sent you to death! In our Kaifeng City, King Zhou was kind-hearted and could not bear to the people starving. He set up a porridge shed to save how many people? What about the bandits? He would only put you in front of you and sent you to death!"
"Hurry up, keep shouting!" Niu Jinxing, hiding in the crowd, asked the soldiers to force the hungry people to continue shouting and singing to the city.
Taking advantage of the chaos under the city, Li Zicheng hid in the crowd and quietly approached the city wall. He wanted to check the weaknesses of Kaifeng City to find a way to attack the city.
Chen De on the top of the city suddenly pointed to a white figure looming in the crowd and said to Chen Yongfu: "Father, there is a guy in the thief crowd, who seems to be a thief!"
Chen Yongfu looked in the direction of his son's finger and found that there was a guy in the crowd wearing a white felt hat and a blue arrow jacket, leaning his head and peeking towards Kaifeng City.
"It should be a thief!" Chen Yongfu nodded and took off the bow and arrow from his back. He estimated the distance, and it was about 150 steps, but he felt unsure.
"Father, let the child come!" Chen De took off his strong bow, pulled out an arrow from the quiver, and put it on it.
"Son, the distance is so far, can you shoot the thief's head to death with one arrow?"
"The boy shot his throat!" Chen De replied confidently. He pulled his bow, held his breath, and pointed the arrow at the crowd, waiting for the looming figure to appear.
After waiting for about twenty breaths, the figure wearing a white felt hat flashed in the crowd. Chen De let go of his finger without hesitation. With the sound of the bowstring, an arrow pulled out an arc and flew across the sky, unbiasedly, just stuck in the face of the guy who was protruding his head.
I saw chaos across the street, and someone shouted in horror: "No, the king is caught in an arrow! Come and save people!"
The chaotic hungry people and the rebels retreated, and the city of Kaifeng, which was still noisy just now, suddenly became quiet. The crowds in front of them retreated, leaving only an empty space.
Chen De's arrow shot Li Zicheng's left eye. He was originally aiming at the throat, but he accidentally shot his left eye. However, such archery was already quite powerful. If it was within a hundred steps, Chen De was confident that he would shoot Li Zicheng with one arrow. However, the distance was a little farther. Apart from 150 steps, he aimed at the throat, but the face was shot. Few people could do such archery. Fortunately, the distance was far, and the power of the bow and arrow was almost exhausted. Otherwise, after shooting the eye, he would shoot through the skull and pierce into the brain, and the immortal would be helpless.
Li Zicheng was shot into his left eye by an arrow, and he screamed and then fainted. The soldiers of the trespassed the soldiers carried Li Zicheng back to the camp with the door panel. After a while, Li Zicheng slowly woke up, and the arrow was still stuck in his left eye. He felt a burst of heart-wrenching pain hitting his head from his eyes.
"Ah! It hurts so much!" Li Zicheng shouted.
A large circle of people were surrounded by Li Guo, Zhang Nai, Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Hao Yaoqi and others were all there.
"Your Majesty, bear it first, the doctor is here now." Niu Jinxing comforted.
"Ah!" Li Zicheng screamed heart-wrenchingly in pain.
After a while, someone shouted, "Get out of here! Get out of here! The doctor is here!"
A doctor carrying a medicine box hurried over, and the soldiers around him moved aside. The doctor walked up to Li Zicheng and looked at the arrows that pierced into his eyes. He carefully pulled out the arrows. Because the arrows had barbs, they even pulled out the broken eyeballs. Only Li Zicheng screamed and fell into a coma. The doctor applied medicine to Li Zicheng's eye sockets, wrapped them in gauze, and then prescribed the medicine.
"How is it? Is it okay for the king?" Liu Zongmin stepped forward anxiously and asked.
"How could it be fine? One eye must be useless!" Li Guo replied anxiously.
Li Zicheng slowly woke up, feeling unbearable pain in his left eye socket. He opened his one eye and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Beat! I must kill Kaifeng! I will tear that guy who was hurt by the hidden arrow to pieces!"
Because he used too much force and shouted too loudly, he felt a pain in his nerves. Li Zicheng screamed again and tilted his head on the door panel.
"King! King!" A group of people rushed forward and shook Li Zicheng desperately.
"Stop shaking, my embarrassment is not dead yet! If you shake it down, you will really be shaken to death!" Li Zicheng suddenly opened his one-eye again.
Liu Zongmin bowed his hand and shouted: "King! Bei Zhi will definitely break through Kaifeng. Grab the guy who hurts people with hidden arrows and avenge you, the king!"
"Catch that person, you are not allowed to kill him! Leave him to the um. You have to cut off his flesh with your own hands to relieve your hatred! And the King of Zhou! It is the King of Zhou that encourages the people to oppose us! Catch the King of Zhou and chop him up and feed him to the dog!" Li Zicheng said viciously.
"King, don't worry, we have a million troops, Kaifeng will be broken in just a matter of time!" Niu Jinxing said.
Li Zicheng suddenly thought of something: "Well, I observed Kaifeng City. The city wall has no horse face. If I can get close to the bottom of the city wall, as long as I dig the city wall and dig a few holes, people can get into it. The weapons guarding the city at the top of the city cannot hit our people. The outer edges of the city wall are all blue bricks. When digging with iron kilns, the blue bricks can be dug out and exposed rammed earth."
"Okay, I will send an order to build a weapon for siege. Please rest assured that you can recuperate. If you have a job in the world, breaking Kaifeng is just around the corner!" Liu Zongmin bowed.
The rebel army began to build siege weapons. Outside Kaifeng City, there was a plain. Moreover, after thousands of years of reclaiming, the Central Plains was full of farmland, and there was no wood to be found. Now, after drought and locust plague, there was no sign of crops.
Niu Jinxing came up with a solution to demolish houses from several small counties that the rebel army had broken into, used the demolished wood to build siege weapons, and then picked up the simple ladders and simple trench bridges left when attacking Luoyang, repair the damaged ones, and then put them in the battle of attacking open the seal.
From Luoyang to Kaifeng, the small county town that had been passing by was in trouble, and the houses were demolished by the rebels. The common people watched the rebels remove their roof beams, door panels, and these woods were taken away by the refugees to build siege weapons.
