Chapter 156 Panic about landmines

When Liu Zongmin retreated, he was a little guilty about Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai not coming in time, but he didn't know that Li Zicheng was on the way to Tongguan now, and Luo Rucai's army was even more attacked by landmines.

In fact, at the beginning, Luo Rucai was not worried about the so-called landmines. He had heard before that Li Zicheng had suffered losses from such landmines, but he did not take them in his heart. He knew about landmines, but his effect was just to block the enemy. If it was said that it was caused by a great lethality, he did not believe it, thinking that this was just a deliberate exaggeration by Li Zicheng.

However, when his army came to a dense forest twenty miles away, he saw a few figures swaying not far away.

Luo Rucai was not surprised by this because he thought this should be a spy left by the enemy.

So Luo Rucai ordered his soldiers to come forward to capture the two spies, and he led the army to continue advancing.

However, after walking a distance of not far, he suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound like thunder in his ears, and then his feet shaking violently as if an earthquake had occurred.

Before Luo Rucai could react, he could only hear screams from all over the world. Immediately afterwards, a wave of air pushed him into the air. Fortunately, Luo Rucai was lucky. Just when he had no way to leverage his power, he suddenly saw a big tree. He was flexible and determined to hold a thick branch of the big tree, thus avoiding a death disaster.

However, the soldiers under Luo Rucai were in trouble. They were attacked by new powerful mines, with heavy casualties, and some were directly killed by mines. In fact, this is quite good, because some people were seriously injured, their legs were blown away, and their arms were blown away. Some were killed by war horses, but they were crushed under the corpse of war horses, and then trampled to death by any war horse running back and forth...

Luo Rucai's face turned pale. It was not until this time that he finally realized how terrible this kind of landmine that could jump to the ground and explode at the same time. After some statistics just now, this wave of landmines alone caused more than 3,000 casualties to his side. This was because the cavalry was at the forefront. If it were infantry, the casualties would probably be even greater.

However, in this way, three thousand cavalrymen directly lost their combat capabilities. Even Luo Rucai had more than 30,000 cavalry under his command, but he felt very distressed. Just this time, his total number of cavalry was reduced by one tenth. In the previous battle with Fu Zonglong, the total number of cavalry was not so much.

However, this is not just this time. When he passed a pass dozens of miles away, he was attacked by landmines again. Due to geographical location, Luo Rucai only lost more than a thousand cavalry this time. But even so, Luo Rucai felt very distressed because this time he had been more careful and asked his cavalry to pay more attention, but he still caused such losses.

After that, Luo Rucai asked the soldiers under his command to move forward more carefully. Each hundred people were divided into one wave, each wave was three or four miles apart. This resulted in much less losses, but it greatly slowed down the speed of progress. The distance between 350 miles was less than half after two days.

On this day, Luo Rucai's army came to a place 80 miles away from the city lockdown. He had just ordered the army to stop and rest, but suddenly he saw a team appearing in front of him. Because it was already dark at that time, Luo Rucai thought it was Ma Mingfeng's army and immediately ordered an attack.

When the two sides entered a state of war, Luo Ru saw clearly the other party's flag. It turned out to be his own person, so he immediately ordered the fight to stop and reported his identity.

It was not until this time that Luo Ru finally realized that the one who came was Liu Zongmin's army.

Luo Rucai was surprised, wondering why Liu Zongmin's army appeared here?

But Liu Zongmin smiled bitterly and slowly told him about his recent experience.

It turned out that after Liu Zongmin withdrew from Kaifeng, he was ambushed by landmines without any precautions. Liu Zongmin had never encountered such a landmine before, so he was also a little dissatisfied. However, this explosion directly caused him to lose nearly 4,000 soldiers, which resulted in only about 12,000 soldiers left under his command.

Liu Zongmin was full of anger and scolded the enemy for being shameless, but actually created such a plot to attack.

After that, Liu Zongmin encountered several waves of landmines, but they were all cracked at the lowest price. This also made Liu Zongmin feel angry. The other party is so shameless that he must make those people pay the price when he has the opportunity in the future!

After hearing what happened to Liu Zongmin, Luo Rucai couldn't help but laugh and cry. He really didn't expect that the other party was attacked by landmines, and he also panicked about landmines like himself. He couldn't help but tremble when he heard the word landmines.

"What's the fuck?" Luo Rucai was so angry that he couldn't help but curse. He really didn't know when the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty actually became such a shameless despicable villain?

Liu Zongmin also cursed, and the two of them shared the same hatred for the enemy, and scolded Ma Mingfeng for being shameless and insidious and despicable.

But later Liu Zongmin thought that it seemed that Luo Rucai was even worse than him. About half of his army suffered losses when siegeing the city, while Luo Rucai's army simply lost its combat effectiveness when walking. Doesn't it seem like the other party is stupider than him?

Luo Rucai also thought that Liu Zongmin was worse than him. After all, Liu Zongmin lost a lot more troops than him, which is enough to prove that Liu Zongmin is not estimating the shameless and insidiousness of the enemy, and he is at least stronger than him.

Just as both of them were laughing at each other for fifty steps, Liu Zongmin suddenly realized that he had not seen Li Zicheng, and couldn't help but ask Luo Rucai: "Where has the King of Chuang gone?"

Luo Rucai sneered when he heard this, "Old Qi is not honest. After surrendering Fu Zonglong, he sent me to lead his army to Kaifeng. On the surface, he claimed that he wanted to raise food and grass, and then escorted supplies to support him, but in fact he wanted to earn Tongguan through Fu Zonglong and then occupy Shaanxi. He did this mysteriously and thought I didn't know."

"What? He actually went to Tongguan?" Liu Zongmin was surprised when he heard this. He did not expect that Li Zicheng had gone so far. However, Liu Zongmin felt a little uneasy in his heart. After thinking for a while, he hesitated: "I always think that this Fu Zonglong would not surrender so easily. It seems that King Chuang was fooled by him."
