When Li Zicheng heard this, he felt it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll give you another chance, but I can't mess it up this time."

When the Hong Madam heard this, her face turned red and then said, "Don't worry, King Chuang, I will definitely live up to my high expectations."

Then Hong Niang followed Li Zicheng's team all the way to Kaifeng.

A day later, the Hongniang came to a short distance outside the Black Pine Forest again, pointed to the front and said to Li Zicheng: "King of Chuang, we were ambushed in the pine forest ahead."

Li Zicheng nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that the opponent's strength is not strong. It's just that you have not led many troops to fight wars like you, otherwise they wouldn't let you escape safely. And I predict that the opponent will not have any ambush this time, but we still have to be careful. This time I will send infantry to encircle from both wings and into the forest. If the enemy is really ambushed, I will take care of it. When it is confirmed that it is safe, you will lead the cavalry and we will travel overnight. The speed is relatively fast. I believe that Kaifeng is still just an empty city at this time. Even if there are really troops back, there will be no more, so it is still easier to take Kaifeng."

Then Li Zicheng waved his hand and ordered: "Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, you two lead 5,000 infantry to surround the forest from the flanks. If you find an ambush, you will be able to handle it."

"Yes!" Two generals came forward and bowed to Li Zicheng, and then led a 5,000 army to encircle the pine forest.

The two armies soon arrived at the border of the pine forest, and their leaders also saw that there were indeed people lying inside, but there was only one person. The man sneered at them, then pulled a lead, then turned around and ran away.

"What's the situation? Could it be the spy of the officers and soldiers? But even if you run away at such a close distance, it will be useless, let alone you can't run away."

Gao Yigong and Liu Fangliang were very surprised to see this, but their instinctive reaction was to shoot the spy to death.

But as soon as they pulled out the feather arrow from the arrow bag, they felt their feet shaking. These two men were also a general who had been through the battlefield for a long time. Naturally, they knew something was wrong. In an emergency, they immediately rushed forward and hugged a big tree.

However, the soldiers under their command were not so lucky. Only loud noises could be heard, and the screams of the soldiers were everywhere, and the strong smell of gunpowder came from the air.

Gao Yigong and Liu Fangliang's faces were gloomy. At almost the same time, they judged that they had encountered landmines, but they didn't know why this landmine could have such a large explosion range. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't the vanguard troops explode when they stepped on it? If this is true, at most, some vanguard troops would be lost and some chaos were created. However, the two of them could see clearly that the explosion range was half a mile, and all the mines exploded at the same time!

"This is really unbelievable. Is it related to the spy before?" Gao Yigong thought silently,

But at this time, they can no longer care about this. The most important thing for them now is to see how many casualties caused this time.

"The explosion of such a large-scale range will probably cause at least hundreds of casualties. We have encountered casualties before we even contacted the enemy. It is really embarrassing." Liu Fangliang felt very moved.

However, when the soldiers reported the number of casualties to him, Liu Fangliang's chin was almost shocked: the casualties of more than 2,000 people were almost half of the 5,000 people he brought.

"More, how many?" On the other hand, Gao Yigong looked unbelievable after hearing the report of the number of casualties. They had seen landmines and encountered them, but they had never seen landmines with more than 2,000 casualties at once.

"I got a good deal of Gao Yigong (Liu Fangliang). This time he snatched the credit, and I'm afraid I can only be scolded by the King of Chuang."

Gao Yigong and Liu Fangliang didn't know the situation, but they were full of envy, jealousy and hatred, but they could only helplessly withdraw the team.

However, after the turn, Gao Yigong and Liu Fangliang saw that each other was in a mess as they were, and could not help but be shocked and asked in unison: "Have you also encountered landmines?"

"How many casualties have you been?"

When they heard that the other party's condition was similar to that of their own, both of them felt heavy, and at the same time they felt a little relaxed. The heavy was because the other party's landmines were too powerful, and the relaxed one was not much different from them. In this way, they would not be punished by the King of Breaking.

"What's going on?" Seeing Gao Yigong and Liu Fangliang withdrawing at the same time, the team was in a mess, Li Zicheng asked in a deep voice.

Gao Yigong and Liu Fangliang shirked each other for a while, and then Gao Yigong told him what had just happened.

"What? What are you talking about? The landmines exploded at the same time, causing more than two thousand at once. Shouldn't it be four or five thousand casualties?"

After hearing this, Li Zicheng felt really unbelievable. He doubted that he had heard it wrong?

In fact, Li Zicheng also heard the explosion, but Li Zicheng's idea was similar to what Gao Yigong and Liu Fangliang thought before, and at most it caused hundreds of casualties. However, he did not expect that he would suffer such heavy losses this time.

Before he could see the walls of Kaifeng City, he has lost 50,000 or 60,000 people in total and nearly 20% of the 30,000 troops, which makes Li Zicheng really unacceptable.

"What kind of landmine is this? It's so much damage? What kind of landmine is this that can explode at the same time within a half-mile area?" Li Zicheng murmured to himself. He looked at Gao Yigong and Liu Fangliang. These two confidant generals were now lowering their heads and daring to speak.

Although Li Zicheng has suffered many defeats since his debut, and saved more than a dozen people at the worst, he has never encountered such a strange thing. Specifically, he has never encountered such a strange landmine.

"It seems that there is a master in Kaifeng City. This person has transformed a new mine and caused such great damage to our army." Li Zicheng sighed, but then he gritted his teeth and said, "Although that's the case, there will not be so many such mines, right? I guess it will be used up this time. Even if it is not used up, it will not cause such great damage to our army again. Moreover, I believe that it is an indisputable fact that the emptiness in the city is indisputable. When we pass our military order, you two will take the soldiers directly from the small road, and pass by a soldier every twenty steps. When the pine forest is gathered, you must pay attention to whether there is new soil under your feet!"
