In Henan, Luoyang, in front of the majestic palace of King Dashun, tall bodyguards stood with their hands on their sabers. Their cold gazes were constantly paying attention to the movements of the grass around them.
Even the maids and servants who came and went lowered their heads and shrunk their necks, standing on their tiptoes, afraid of making the slightest sound. When their eyes swept across the hall, a trace of fear would inadvertently flash across their faces.
"Bang!" The sound of porcelain shattering suddenly broke the silence. Then, an extremely furious voice sounded,
"Courting death!"
A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of everyone outside. They did not understand who had provoked Li Zicheng to such an extent.
In the hall, Li Zicheng looked at the broken porcelain on the ground with red eyes. His entire body emitted a violent aura as he stood there panting heavily.
"Huff huff huff."
Half of his arm was in a thick cast hanging from his neck, and there were some fine wounds on his face.
This was the injury he had sustained that night when he was frightened by Wang Cheng and fled in a hurry. Because he could not see the road clearly at night, he had lost his footing and fallen.
At this moment, Li Zicheng's anger affected the wound on his arm, causing his face to twitch non-stop. Bean-sized cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
"This time, I'm going to completely crush his 10,000 men in broad daylight. Even if that dog Wang Cheng dies, I'm going to chop him up and feed him to the dogs. I've already taken revenge for last time."
The wounds on his body hurt, but Li Zicheng's heart hurt even more. His eyes were burning, and he clenched his fists unconsciously. The veins on his temples bulged, and he gritted his teeth.
Thinking back, Li Zicheng could still remember the anger and grievance from that night.
As a result, the moment he returned to Luoyang, he began to frantically gather his own troops and gather the 40,000 soldiers that had scattered that night.
At this moment, Luoyang City had completely become a huge military camp. There were now more than 110,000 soldiers inside. Among them, there were 30,000 cavalry, 60,000 infantry, and 20,000 baggage soldiers.
With such power, Li Zicheng constantly wanted to kill his way back to the capital. However, he did not expect Wang Cheng to come to him first before he could find him.
"Your Majesty, could this be a trap?”
At this moment, Song Xiance, who was in his forties, was cautiously reading the letter in his hand. His triangular eyes were filled with doubt, and his furrowed brows made him look a little sinister.
However, Gu Junen, who was at the side, stroked his beard and looked at the letter in his hand with a mocking expression.
"Wang Cheng probably doesn't know that right after he left, someone revealed all his trump cards. There are more than ten thousand infantry, cavalry, and horses. They didn't even take in the thirty thousand people who surrendered. They are still in the capital. They are simply stupid.”
Upon seeing this, a strange look flashed across Gu Junen's eyes, and a faint mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's so detailed. It's definitely not a conspiracy. This might be someone who wants to use us to get rid of Wang Cheng.”
As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall revealed a cold smile.
Li Zicheng's eyes flashed with a cold light as he directly ordered,
"Gather the soldiers and attack. After we kill that dog Wang Cheng, we'll charge straight for the capital and completely destroy Great Ming.”
"Yes."
Everyone in the hall respectfully acknowledged and quickly walked out to reorganize the troops according to Li Zicheng's orders.
A moment later, the entire Luoyang City was filled with the sound of war drums.
"Dong dong dong."
Upon hearing this voice, all the Luoyang citizens 'eyes flashed with fear, and they rushed to their homes like crazy.
At the same time, the countless soldiers in the city swarmed into the streets and alleys like ants. They formed a long line and rushed toward the military camp in the west of the city.
In the blink of an eye, other than the military camp in the west of the city, the huge Luoyang City had become a ghost city without the slightest sound.
"Dong dong dong."
Three rounds of drumming.
A black mass of soldiers poured out from the camp in the west of the city like a flood.
"Rumble!"
The countless flags at the front fluttered in the wind. The horses undulated like a torrential flood as they rushed out along the main road of Luoyang City.
Countless houses on both sides of the street were shaking, and the entire Luoyang City was shaking. Countless people looked at this group in horror.
As the earth quaked, yet another army of infantrymen rushed out of the camp.
All the residents in the city were shocked.
After two hours, this huge troop finally came out from the east gate of Luoyang.
Then, he galloped in the direction of the capital…
