"I really didn't expect that the will of the defenders would be so tenacious." Li Zicheng suffered heavy casualties in the previous round of attack, and couldn't help but look heavy and said lightly.

However, Li Zicheng did not give up. Kaifeng City was originally in a strong city defense, and there were still tens of thousands of troops in the city. It was not that easy to break through this strong city. He had originally planned to pay a certain price. Losing 10,000 troops was nothing to him, because it also caused considerable damage to the defenders. Because the siege also had artillery and catapults, they could even use the catapults to fire the ignited oil tanks onto the city walls and burn the enemy.

Conservatively, this attack caused at least 3,000 casualties to the defenders.

Li Zicheng believed that even if he exchanged casualties for casualties, it would be enough to capture Kaifeng City with such a strong force.

Therefore, Li Zicheng did not stop at all and ordered the army to continue to launch an attack and increase the rewards. At the same time, those who dared to retreat would be severely punished.

Driven by interests and strict constraints on military discipline, the soldiers who attacked the city also fought for their lives. Hao Yaoqi, a general under Li Zicheng, has always been brave in fighting. When he saw this scene, he immediately put on his helmet and armor, personally took the arrows and stones to climb the cloud ladder, and led his team to attack the city.

After seeing this scene, Li Zicheng immediately beat the drums to strengthen the army's power. The soldiers of the army were naturally very encouraged when they saw this scene. So in an instant, the morale was like a rainbow and the sound of killing shocked the sky.

This scene also brought considerable pressure to the Ming army. The soldiers clearly felt that, especially the North Gate attacked by Hao Yaoqi, under the leadership of the main general, the bandits were desperately attacking the city like crazy. Although the main defensive general Yue Qijie of the North Gate was not poor in command, the soldiers did not have rich combat experience. Moreover, they were fighting in different places and were not very familiar with the environment. They could barely deal with it at the beginning, but now they were a little worried.

Hao Yaoqi was strong and fierce. Under the cover of his soldiers, he quickly jumped onto the city and launched a fierce attack on the soldiers on the city. These soldiers stepped forward to siege, but no one was the enemy of the general. In just a blink of an eye, more than a dozen people died in front of him.

At this moment, a middle-aged soldier in his forties came forward, holding a wooden stick in his hand, shouting: "Don't be rampant, eat me a stick."

After speaking, with a "whip" sound, a big stick with eyebrows smashed towards Hao Yaoqi's top door.

The stick was powerful and extremely rapid. In just a blink of an eye, it came to Hao Yaoqi's top door.

This immediately scared Hao Yaoqi and quickly jumped to avoid it. He saw the stick rubbing his shoulders and Hao Yaoqi breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he felt his back was wet. Needless to think about it, it was sweat and scared.

Looking up, I saw a middle-aged veteran holding a big stick in his hand and looking at him coldly. The man stood there like a Yuan Yuezhi. He knew that it was hard to meet him just by looking at him.

"I really didn't expect there was such a master in the army." Hao Yaoqi took a deep breath, chopped over a soldier who tried to step forward and sneaked up on him, and asked with his fists: "Your skill is so good that you are not an unknown person, why are you actually mixed in ordinary soldiers?"

The other party said lightly: "It's just an unknown person who has been favored by the deputy envoy of the military preparation. It's far from the powerful generals in the army like you. It's just that you can't help but want to forcibly stand up."

Hao Yaoqi said in a deep voice: "Nevertheless, I am not afraid of you, but it's a pity that your skills are just an ordinary soldier. It's better to surrender to me. I will definitely recommend you to the King of Chuang. At that time, you will at least become a general. At that time, you will be a marquis and a general. Wouldn't it be much better than now?"

But he saw the man saying coldly: "I would rather die than follow the thief. You claim to be kind and righteous, but why did you slaughter loyal and righteous people? If you really have the courage? Why don't you go to the battlefield of Songjin to kill the Golden Dog? If you didn't cause trouble, why would my Ming Dynasty be forced into the current predicament by the Golden Dog?"

Hao Yaoqi's expression turned a little red when he heard this, but he still said loudly: "I also hate Jin Gou too much, but I hate corrupt officials even more. When those corrupt officials are killed, I will definitely compete with Jin Gou. Stop talking nonsense. I just saw that you have some strength and cherish your talents, so I advised you to surrender. Don't think I'm afraid of you. Since I don't eat the toast and drink, don't blame me for being rude, see the trick!"

After saying that, Hao Yaoqi waved the knife in his hand, slashed Huashan with a force, and slashed directly towards the other party's top door.

The man snorted coldly, took two steps back, and hit the wrist directly at the other party's wrist.

The man had a long stick in his hand and Hao Yaoqi's short sword, so naturally the other party had the advantage. At that time, before Hao Yaoqi's sword was handed in front of him, the other party would hit his wrist directly. The result would be that he would throw the knife away and then be at the slaughter of others.

However, Hao Yaoqi is not an ordinary person. His martial arts may not be as good as the other party, but he has been through the battle formation for a long time and has escaped danger many times. He has extremely rich combat experience and naturally he will not put himself at the mercy of others, so he jumped to dodge.

However, Hao Yaoqi did not dodge backwards, but jumped forward, not only avoiding the opponent's attack, but also putting the opponent within his attack range.

In terms of martial arts, there has always been a saying that "one inch long and one inch long and one inch short and one inch dangerous". For short weapons, their attacks will naturally be effective only if they enter the attack range. Therefore, this time Hao Yaoqi took a risk and made progress, which is undoubtedly the most correct idea.

After Hao Yaoqi approached, the sword in his hand was useful. He specifically checked the opponent's dangerous places to greet him. Even if the opponent was a master, because he was approached by the opponent and had long weapons in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a little busy for a moment.

However, the other party was also an experienced person. He decisively threw away the wooden stick in his hand and pulled out the sword at his waist to compare with Hao Yaoqi's sword technique.

The veteran's sword skills were also extraordinary, flexible and changeable, and he acted quickly. He soon fought with Hao Yaoqi.

Hao Yaoqi suddenly gasped in his heart. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man's sword skills were so outstanding. He fought with the other party for thirty or fifty times and found that he could not defeat his opponent in a short period of time. At this time, the officers and soldiers had gradually surrounded him and immediately knew something was wrong, so he decisively abandoned the man, turned his body and prepared to escape.

However, he did not expect that the other party would chase him closely. He decisively grabbed him at the moment when Hao Yaoqi was about to escape. Then, he took advantage of Hao Yaoqi's failure to react. He threw the knife away with his other hand, and then suddenly slapped Hao Yaoqi's back. Hao Yaoqi immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, his face as white as paper, and his eyes turned, and he fainted.

The middle-aged man threw Hao Yaoqi aside with a proud look on his face, and said lightly "Tie". He saw more than a dozen soldiers rush forward, tied Hao Yaoqi, and then captured him.

However, no one expected that at this moment, a feather arrow flew over from not far away. The middle-aged man had no time to dodge and was shot in the chest and fell down immediately.
