Li Hao didn't say anything, but turned around and shouted at the bandits under the city: "Breakup! Open your dog's eyes and see who grandpa is. Grandpa is the thousand households of Jinyiwei Li Hao! You traitors, why don't you surrender quickly. Hahaha, the city, go back and tell your bandits, grandpa, I thank him for sending me into the city, hahaha..."

The two down-to-earth bandits, the two down-to-earth bandits, didn't quite understand what Li Hao and others meant at first. After hearing him say it, they couldn't help but become furious. The two screamed, almost bursting out of their lungs.

"The hawk is shameless, I want to break through this city gate and tear you a lot of pieces, wow!"

"Despicable officers and soldiers, I'm fighting with you!"

The Ming army on the city wall was like a locust here, shooting the tiled jars outside the city and a dou of valleys in a panic. They were so naive that they were actually trapped by Li Hao and others.

Li Zicheng in the distance was far apart and did not hear what Li Hao was yelling on the city wall. But it was not a good thing. Thinking of this, Li Zicheng couldn't help but scream inwardly: "No, I'm afraid I'm caught in the trap of a thief."

Sure enough, the earthen jar and Yidougu came back dejectedly. As soon as they came back, the earthen jar shouted: "King of Chuang, we have been trapped. Those thieves are actually dressed up by officers and soldiers."

Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin were shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other with confusion on their faces. Even the officers and soldiers were too late to escape from the city at this time, so why did these people risk their lives to enter the city?

A Dougu next to him cursed: "The court's hawks are full of tricks, and they are so despicable and shameless. The one named Li Hao is actually the Jinyiwei Qianhu, the old emperor of the capital. King of Chuang, we have fallen into the trap."

A thousand households of Jinyiwei have no low official positions. At this time, they entered Kaifeng City. Could it be that the officers and soldiers had any tricks?

Li Zicheng became a little panicked, and when Liu Zongmin, who was so angry, could not bear the breath when he heard this, he drew out his big sword: "The birds and soldiers are too bullying, brothers, follow me to attack and kill!"

Li Zicheng is not a fool, but in fact he wanted to reorganize an attack long ago. After all, there was not much food industry they snatched along the way. It took a few days for him to hold on, even if the Ming army reinforcements did not come, the group of mobs under his command would probably disband on the spot.

Before Li Hao and others went to the future, Li Zicheng discussed with Liu Zongmin that when he launched another attack, he should not attack blindly. Instead, he should adopt tactics to block the Ming army's shooting.

What kind of tactic is the ‘city-cutting tactic’.

What is the 'city-cutting tactic'. "Bian Weishiling Lu" records that the peasant army's siege tactics are very simple, which is "cavity-cutting city" and "digging city": first, it drives a large number of villagers to send door panels and carts to the city, erect them, and block the arrows and stones that were knocked down from the city.

The real peasant army mixed among the villagers and rushed to the city, dug down the bricks and stones on the outside of the city wall, dug into a hole inside the city wall, and hid in the cave. "The thief hides in the cave, and the arrows cannot be added, and the arrows and stones cannot be added day and night, so they cannot retreat. The city is very dangerous."

This move is extremely sinister, like an ant eating an elephant, biting the other party bit by bit.

Anyway, there are no other people under my command, but there are many people. Hundreds of thousands of bandits are actually refugees who are family members. Those who can gather together can even have 30,000 to 50,000 people.

First, let your subordinates drive these villagers to use wooden boards and other shields. When they approach the city wall, these villagers began to dig holes in the city wall.

No matter what method you use, even if you chew with your teeth, you have to chew the city wall. In this way, after suffering major casualties, the bandits actually dug many holes in the city wall little by little.

If this continues, it will be a matter of time before Kaifeng City is dug. What's bad is that the Ming army has no better way to stop it at this time. Because once a hole is dug out of the city wall, these bandits will drill into the hole like borers, leaving you with no way out.

Although the city wall is several meters thick, there are too many bandits outside the city, and these bandits are digging day and night. In less than three or two days, the city wall will inevitably be dug by them.

In fact, in order to deal with such opponents who rushed to the foot of the city wall, the ancients designed a special structure when building the city wall, which was to protrude a rectangle outward at every distance, called an enemy platform and a pier, commonly known as "horse face", which can eliminate the blind spots of the city defense and attack the enemies under the city from the side.

However, there was no such enemy platform in Kaifeng West City, which made the defense very passive. In order to resist the cannons and arrows under the city, the soldiers blocked the tabletops and door panels at the battlements, but were penetrated by the cannons.

Everyone was anxious and went around. Gao Mingheng led Li Hao to find King Zhu Gongzi of Zhou. Kaifeng was the vassal of King Zhou, and King Zhou was the descendant of Zhu Su, the fifth son of Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this time, Gao Mingheng had already known the purpose of Li Hao and others. When they saw the King of Zhou, everyone greeted each other. Gao Mingheng bowed and said, "Prince, Lord Qianhu came here because he was instructed by His Highness the Crown Prince to find a juren named Li Yan in Kaifeng Prefecture. As soon as the thief was siege, Lord Li used a trick to get in."

Zhu Gongye just nodded, and he didn't take this matter too seriously. After all, Kaifeng Prefecture is now at the moment of life and death, how to defend Kaifeng is the most important thing at the moment.

"How is the situation outside the city?" Zhu Gongye asked.

Gao Mingheng sighed: "Not optimistic, the bandits are treacherous, using wooden boards as shields to chisel the city walls. Outside the Ximen City, they are already full of holes. If you don't think of a solution, you're afraid, you're afraid..."

Gao Mingheng didn't continue talking, but I know that it's only a matter of time before the thief breaks the city.

Zhu Gongzi knew that there was not much time left, so he couldn't help but sigh to the sky: "Is the sky dead? Is the city of Kaifeng? Reinforcements, when will the reinforcements arrive?"

No one answered that no matter how fast Sun Chuanting's reinforcements were, they were not as fast as Li Zicheng digging the city wall. Just when everyone was discouraged, Li Hao suddenly said: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. The lower official thought of someone, and he might have a way to break the enemy."

As soon as this said, Zhu Gongye and Gao Mingheng were immediately overjoyed, and they almost asked in unison: "Where is this person now?"

"It's Li Yan, a juren in the year of Dingmao."

When he heard that it was Li Yan, Zhu Gongyi was a little excited: "Your Highness the Crown Prince asked you to find Li Yan, I can help you. But, if you say that Li Yan has a plan to defeat the enemy, I may not be able to see you."

Just a mere juren, what kind of ability can he have? Now those bandits are hiding under the city wall to dig holes, what can you do to stop them? Could it be that Li Yan is not able to do it?
