At this moment, Lan Tianbao reminded Zhang Mingwei: "Master, there is something going on at Li Zicheng's camp!"
When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately turned to look at Li Zicheng's camp. Sure enough, I saw the cavalry over there swarming out of the camp and rushing towards Luo Rucai's camp.
Zhang Mingwei has certainly considered this situation. Therefore, there are already solutions to deal with it.
So, he immediately ordered: "Send the flag and let the troops from Kaifeng City leave the city and pretend to attack Li Zicheng's camp."
"Yes!" Lan Tianbao immediately agreed upon hearing this, and then immediately conveyed the military order to the flag soldiers.
"The chariot camp is dispatched immediately to block Li Zicheng's cavalry!" Zhang Mingwei's second order came immediately.
Zhou Yuji's side went very smoothly. Of course he wanted to give his side more time because he wanted to achieve greater results there.
Fortunately, Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng wanted to encircle the imperial army camp, so they deployed in two directions: east and west.
Behind the imperial army camp is the Yellow River, which is not only a natural defense barrier, but also means that Li Zicheng does not have to worry about the possibility of the army withdrawing northward. To the south is Kaifeng City.
Therefore, if Li Zicheng's troops wanted to rescue Luo Rucai's camp, they would have to pass between the imperial army camp and Kaifeng City.
If it is under normal circumstances, it is actually nothing. The distance between the imperial army camp and Kaifeng City was wide enough, and the bandits were eager to send troops from both sides to fight in the field.
But at this time, when Li Zicheng's troops came to rescue Luo Rucai, the disadvantage came out.
At the top of Kaifeng City, there is a special person who has been waiting for the signal made in advance by Daying. Li Zicheng had previously escorted grain and grass to Luo Rucai Camp, which had already attracted the attention of Kaifeng City.
When suddenly the cavalry troops rushed to Luo Rucai's camp from the imperial army's camp, the city was already heavily guarded.
To be honest, the two generals Zhang Luofu and Yuan Zhuangfei who were ordered by Zhang Mingwei to stay in Kaifeng City had just watched the battle in the camp before, as if Kaifeng City had been forgotten by the Battle of Kaifeng. They were quite anxious. of.
At this time, when I saw the military order finally coming from the camp, I was as excited as when I was a child celebrating the New Year. I immediately waved my hands and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"
"Brothers, kill!" Yuan Zhuangfei was holding back and almost rushed to the top of the city with Zhang Luofu.
Chen Yongfu, the commander-in-chief of Kaifeng, was very envious of these two generals. He was responsible for defending the city and could not leave the city no matter what.
However, he has already seen that the Battle of Kaifeng is not actually in Kaifeng City, but a decisive battle between the imperial camp and the bandits outside the city. It can be said that even if this battle is won, there is basically no military merit to be gained from Kaifeng City.
So, he became anxious, and turned to look at Gao Mingheng, the censor of Henan Province who had turned around, and said: "Sir, please see, the Duke of Guo has defeated Luo Rucai's camp, and Thief Li hastily sent reinforcements. The key to this battle is to be able to Can we block Li Thief's reinforcements? If there are more troops in Kaifeng City at this time and the noise is louder, we can scare Li Thief's troops and try to slow down their rescue speed, it will be of great help to this battle!"
Gao Mingheng also wanted to take credit, and didn't want to be just a spectator. When he heard what he said, he thought of the tens of thousands of Bianliang heroes gathered by Huang Peng, and he immediately said without hesitation: "Okay, in this case, you will defend the city." Head, wait until I lead the troops out of the city and wave the flag and shout for the Duke!"
It's easy to bluff and threaten the bandits with reinforcements.
As he spoke, he hurried down to the city.
When Chen Yongfu saw it, he was a little dumbfounded. I shouted in my heart: No, no, sir, that’s not what I meant. I wanted to lead the troops out of the city!
However, Gao Mingheng has already left, and it is obvious that even if he kicks out, Gao Mingheng will not agree.
………………
At this time, on the entire battlefield, one move can really affect the whole body.
Because Li Zicheng wanted to attack Luo Rucai, the result was that all the cavalry troops from the imperial army camp came out and entered Luo Rucai's camp.
Subsequently, Li Zicheng's cavalry troops immediately provided reinforcements. However, at the same time, the chariot camp on the imperial army camp was well prepared and immediately set out to intercept. Even on the Kaifeng City side, the city gates were wide open, and two Behind the cavalry army, there were countless civilians swarming out.
Because it is the rainy season, although it has not rained for two days, the road is muddy, which somewhat limits the speed of the car camp.
Under the attack between Kaifeng City and the camp, there is still a large open space in the middle. Li Guo, Zhang Nai, Liu Zongmin and others were worried about Li Zicheng's safety, so they rushed over regardless of the flanking attacks from both sides. However, others were still intercepted.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
"Bah, bah, bah..."
The sound of artillery, the vibration of bowstrings, and the sound of muskets became the loudest sounds on the battlefield.
Because the Rogue Cavalry Army was to rescue Luo Rucai's camp, and the imperial army was blocking the attack, for a while, these long-range weapons poured out, basically to greet the Rogues.
The sound of people shouting, horses neighing, and whining was heard.
Song Xiance and others who stayed behind at the camp did not expect that it would cause such a big commotion. Although they had some preparations, they were only prepared for cavalry rescue. On such a large scale, cavalry alone was not enough, so they hurriedly organized infantry troops to rescue them. However, for a while, when all the bandits were panicking, how could they quickly assemble the army.
The momentum on the battlefield, during this period of sudden occurrence, was basically all the officers and soldiers shouting to kill. It just sounds like the morale is like a rainbow.
On the side of Luo Rucai's camp, the Seven Route Cavalry Army cut through Luo Rucai's camp without any effort.
Turn the horse's head and immediately prepare to attack again. Needless to say, they have been paying attention to where Li Zicheng is.
No matter how many thieves were killed, it would be better to kill just one Li Zicheng.
Suddenly, Bai Guangen shouted loudly: "Li Zicheng is in front, the one wearing the blindfold is!"
As he spoke, he led his men in pursuit.
When the other cavalrymen heard this, they immediately turned their horses and chased in the direction that Bai Guangen was pursuing.
It was true. Li Zicheng was fleeing to the camp when he was seen by the traitor Bai Guangen. Hearing his shout, he was so frightened that he quickly tore off his blindfold and threw it away, leaned on his horse and ran away.
At this moment, Bai Guangen realized that he was about to lose his target, so he hurriedly shouted: "The one wearing the red brocade uniform is Li Zicheng!"
This target was actually more obvious than wearing a blindfold. Upon hearing this, the cavalry of other imperial officers and soldiers immediately changed their direction and re-encircled their No. 1 target.
When Li Zicheng heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly took off his red brocade uniform, threw it away, and continued running away.
From time to time, the view was blocked by the tents in the camp, and in the blink of an eye, no one in red brocade clothes could be seen. Bai Guangen quickly straightened his upper body and looked around.
Finally, when he saw it, he quickly shouted: "The man wearing the golden helmet is Li Zicheng!"
The only person wearing a golden helmet was Li Zicheng, a slut. Suddenly, the cavalry of the imperial officers and soldiers shouted loudly about Li Zicheng's characteristics and turned around to surround him.
Needless to say, when he heard the shouting, Li Zicheng hurriedly untied the helmet's rope and prepared to throw it away.
But this time, the leader of the personal guard who was escorting him to escape snatched the helmet away, and at the same time handed him his own helmet and said: "General, run!"
Then, he put the golden helmet on his head, turned around and ran away.
Of course Li Zicheng knew that he was using himself as bait to lure away the officers and soldiers. At this time, he didn't care what to say. He quickly put on the helmet of the leader of the personal guard and continued to run around.
Bai Guangen, who was chasing after him, saw something was wrong, so he quickly shouted: "It's not the one wearing the golden helmet, it's someone else. The one with the more guards is!"
This time, this feature is not obvious. The cavalrymen of the imperial army were in a hurry to pursue, and many of them recognized the wrong target and chased the wrong person. Only Bai Guangen was still chasing.
Finally, Li Zicheng escaped from the chaotic Luo Rucai camp. But only then did he realize that Kaifeng City and the imperial army camp had sent troops to intercept him. It would be difficult for him to get through. So, he turned his horse's head and continued to escape to the east.
However, after leaving the Luo Rucai Camp and no longer blocking the line of sight from the tent, the goal became obvious. Wu Sangui, Tang Tong, Zhou Yuji and others saw Bai Guangen chasing a cavalry of more than 500 people.
Needless to say, that is Li Zichen himself. Therefore, they no longer paid attention to Luo Rucai's camp, turned their horses' heads one after another, and chased after him.
At this time, Li Guo, Liu Zongmin and others who had already crossed the interception line saw this scene and knew that Li Zicheng was being chased by the imperial cavalry, so they followed suit and did not attack Luo Rucai's camp at all.
Zhang Mingwei saw this scene through the telescope and couldn't help but feel a little anxious that he had too few troops. This was the best time to deal with Luo Rucai's troops.
However, the troops in the military camp now have to be used to deal with the troops of Li Zicheng's camp. If all these troops are mobilized to collect and surrender, there will be no troops to stop Li Zicheng's troops.
If this opportunity is missed, even if these Luo Rucai's men disperse instead of joining Li Zicheng's command, it will be a troublesome thing for the future.
While he was in a hurry, Zhang Mingwei suddenly had an idea and immediately drove his horse to the bandit prison camp.
On this side, there are more than 10,000 bandits who have just surrendered, many of whom have been captured before.
The prisoners of the bandits here were watching the fun because the shouts of killing outside were loud. Although they could not leave the camp, they could somewhat see clearly what was going on on the battlefield. All of a sudden, everyone was talking about it, and they saw Duke Xingguo coming over.
