"Tiance is invincible!"

"Cavalry, charge me!"

As the gates of the city opened, the leaders held their horses high and shouted loudly to the cavalry behind them. In an instant, more than a thousand cavalry shouted in unison, overpowering the shouting of killing on the battlefield, and hearing the shouts of the cavalry, the morale of the infantry on the city tower suddenly rose.

"Heavenly Strategy! Heavenly Strategy! ”

As soon as the city gate opened, the cavalry in the closed city was like a group of wolves that had been hungry for a long time. One by one, the wielding lances were like tigers descending from the mountains, charging towards the chaotic rebels outside the city.

"Tiance is invincible!"

The shouts over and over again mixed with the shouts of killing, and finally converged into a strong stimulant, and under the loud shouts of killing, the Tiance army defending Qipan Pass suddenly changed the decline of the previous days and launched a counterattack.

On the rebel side, because of the explosions between them, there was a vacuum area of dozens of feet in the middle of the rebels, with corpses everywhere, mourning war horses, and collapsed siege equipment, blood flowing everywhere, stumps everywhere, like hell on earth.

After all, a rebel army is a rebel army, and if you become a rebel army, there will be some problems in military discipline. It may have started with a high morale, as the art of war says, again and again, and again and again, and then and then and again

How could they have ever seen such a situation, while the Tiance army kept shouting about the heavenly fire, in the eyes of the rebels, the burning flame became the punishment of heaven for them. At this time, the people were very superstitious, and the cavalry of the Tiance Army took the opportunity to go out of the city to kill, and the morale of the entire rebel army plummeted.

The road of Qipanguan does not matter, so although there are only more than 1,000 cavalry, in the eyes of the rebels, it is an invincible torrent of iron horses.

Although the cavalry of the Tiance Army has been formed for several years, most of this cavalry are new recruits and have not participated in major battles, and many of them are directly selected from the infantry for a period of training before becoming cavalry. Strictly speaking, this is an infantry on horseback.

During the Tang Dynasty, it was not uncommon for infantry on horseback to be used, and many army infantry were equipped with horses, professional cavalry, and there was no shortage of infantry on horseback. But now it is not the Tang Dynasty, the horse-producing land was occupied by the Tibetans, the Tang Dynasty lost the pastures that could be stocked with war horses, and the war horses in the territory, a few of which were self-produced, were mostly purchased from the Uighurs, Tubo, Huangjia and other nomadic peoples, and the quality and quantity could not be guaranteed.

However, it is undoubtedly enough to deal with the rebels who have little ability to resist.

The cavalry of more than 1,000 people wore fiery red robes, red leather armor, and flaming red cloaks on their shoulders. As they rode their horses, they wielded their lances or raised their crossbows, killing the rebels as freely as if they were chopping vegetables and melons.

Although the Tiance Army belongs to the forbidden army, and the equipment of the cavalry is also luxurious, the cavalry of the Tiance Army is still light cavalry. The cavalry is mainly leather armor, and the metal armor only protects the important parts, so as to ensure the mobility of the cavalry.

The sun rose higher and higher, and under the scorching sun, a red cavalry swept through everything in its path, and there were no standing rebels everywhere it passed.

In the narrow valley, a mountain wind blows, flags fly, and battle robes flutter.

"Your Highness, what 。。。。。 What is that.... ”

Zhang Shi'an, who was watching the battle in the rear, looked surprised, he used to speak fluently, but he also stammered at this time, obviously shocked by the previous explosion scene, and hurriedly turned to ask Li Ye.

"This is the new way of fighting that this king said, in the future, with this heavenly fire, the rebels or something, they are just the generation of local chickens and dogs, defeating the rebels, and recovering the revival yuan is just around the corner." Li Ye said with a smile.

Liu Qi and the others next to him were also surprised, and it was the first time they had seen this weapon called Tianhuo. I am afraid that Lin Ke and Qingyangzi who were present were not surprised, the former had seen the power of this weapon, and they relied on this to crush the attack of Chen Jingxuan's sons on King Shou; Not to mention the latter, this thing was developed under his leadership.

And this is only a rocket, you must know that rockets are the least powerful among weapons made of gunpowder, and what earth-shattering thunder, as well as the kind of big killing weapons dropped by trebuchets, have not yet been put into use. Originally, it was said that the trebuchet would be used today to see the effect, but looking at it like this, there should be no possibility of using it, and the rebels have been killed like this.

It's hard to say what the rebels are behind, it depends on how effective the counterattack is, but the rebels who attacked suffered heavy casualties, and that was at least a few thousand. Maybe after this fiasco, the rebels will choose to retreat, and morale, once it falls, it is not so easy to lift it.

Especially for the rebel soldiers who have seen the power of rockets, it is not possible to overcome the fear in their hearts for a while.

"What His Highness said is very true, I believe that after the end of this battle, we can change our previous defensive position, turn to attack, and take Xixian Jinmian County in one fell swoop." Xu Shiren said with a smile.

"After this battle, the Tiance Army can be regarded as a change from the previous decline. However, the casualties are definitely not small, so in the next battle, this king hopes that the army led by General Zhang can serve as the main force. I don't know what General Zhang thinks? Li Ye looked at Zhang Shi'an with a smile.

"This... Zhang Shi'an was a little hesitant, but the situation on the battlefield before made him a little lacking in confidence, and the fire of that day not only scared the enemy out of his guts, but also frightened him, "Your Highness, although you have five thousand troops, you are not familiar with the terrain, and you also lack siege equipment, this... ”

"It's okay, the siege equipment doesn't have to worry about General Zhang, and this king will let the cavalry act together with the Shenji battalion. Now that the morale of the rebels has plummeted, won't General Zhang dare not fight the rebels in front of him? Li Ye said deliberately.

"How is that possible? I, Dongchuan Army, am not vegetarians, and I will take over the lowly job. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shi'an regretted a little, realizing that he had fallen for the radical method of this young Shouwang, but he thought that if he regretted it, it would be too embarrassing, and after hesitating for a while, he honestly accepted Li Ye's order.

Seeing Zhang Shi'an's honest acceptance, Li Ye couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. He knew that it was the power of the rocket that stopped the general from Dongchuan.

This is also normal, not only this Zhang Shi'an was suppressed, but Liu Qi and other generals were also the same, and they all respected Li Ye like a god for a while. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to explain how this heavenly fire came about, and Li Ye didn't clarify the word this heavenly fire, and there was no harm in having a proper sense of mystery.

。。。。。。

"General, it's not good, the Tiance Army is here!"

"What? Block it all for me, and you can't be scattered by the enemy! Pang Cong shouted sweatingly.

For the previous explosion, Pang Cong, who was commanding in the rear, saw it more clearly from the rear. Although he didn't know what was going on, he saw that each explosion took several soldiers from his side.

If it was just one or two explosions, it would naturally be nothing, but the explosions came and went, and Pang Cong, who was standing in the distance, could see that among his troops, a fire suddenly ignited, and then there was black smoke. After the explosion, not a single soldier in the area was standing.

In fact, the power of the rocket is not great, and it is filled with black powder, which looks bluffing, but how much can such a large bamboo tube hold?

If it's just a single person, it's really not very powerful.

But before, it wasn't a rocket, each round was hundreds of rockets, and nearly ten rounds of shooting, that power didn't want to guess. Even if you can't kill people, you can still blow up the enemy, and the scattered bamboo and iron slag are even more powerful weapons to kill the enemy.

At the same time as these rebels suffered heavy casualties, the cavalry of the Tiance Army went out of the city to kill, plus the infantry that followed the killing, even if the rebels who attacked the city were still moving, it was a miracle to survive under the blow of the infantry cavalry of the Tiance Army.

However, Pang Cong's order was destined to be just an extravagant hope.

The previous explosion had already thrown the rebel formation into chaos, whether it was a sword and shield soldier or a pikeman, under this kind of charge, they were either kicked to the ground by the war horse, or they were cut and killed and fell to the ground. The Tiance army is like a sharp arrow, with cavalry as the arrow, moving forward like a bamboo.

"Withdraw! Fall back! ”

Watching his soldiers continue to fall, an unprecedented fear rose from Pang Cong's heart, and the wails of those fallen soldiers were like thin needles, piercing his heart.

The rebels, who were already constantly defeated, heard this order, and immediately retreated recklessly, starting in a fairly orderly formation, under the impact of the soldiers who were rushing for their lives, they were rushed to pieces, and the cavalry of the Tiance Army rushed to kill in the back, and the rebels quickly turned into a big rout.

The crowd scrambled north along the narrow mountain road of the Golden Bull Road, and in the chaotic procession, many people were squeezed down the nearby hillside and even into the river. Seeing the Tiance Army close at hand, many rebels began to wave their weapons against their own people in order to escape, trying to fight a bloody way, but unfortunately this is difficult to achieve.

Peng He led the Tiance army to catch up all the way, killing corpses all over the field, and the entire Golden Bull Road, which stretched for several miles north of Qipanguan, was full of corpses of rebels. The rebels, who originally had more than 10,000 people, were less than 4,000 when they withdrew to Jinniu Town.

Seeing this number, Pang was frightened to retreat directly from Jinniu Town to Xixian further north.

The reason why the rebels suffered so many casualties was not that the power of the rockets was really that great. It is possible that less than a thousand people died directly under the rocket, and it was more because of the chaos and the narrow terrain that there were such large losses. This is something Pang never expected, and Li Ye never expected.

Li Ye was just a small test to repel the rebels' offensive, but he didn't expect to launch a beautiful counterattack, defeating the rebels and completely changing the situation of both sides.

On Li Ye's side, he quickly counted the results, and he was naturally brilliant.

More than 200 people were killed in the battle, and more than 500 were seriously wounded, and many were slightly wounded, but they did not affect their lives. The 800 people who were seriously wounded and killed in battle were mostly casualties caused by bows and arrows during the rebels' siege of the city before, which shows how much impact the rockets of the Shenji Battalion had on the battle situation.

The rebels are really suffering heavy casualties, just the corpses were found by the Tiance army more than 2,000 bodies, and more than 3,000 were captured, most of them were seriously injured, and whether they could survive or not was a question.

As for the other missing or corpses transferred into the river, it has nothing to do with the Tiance Army.

According to the current statistics, less than 1,000 casualties and more than 5,000 rebels were killed, which can be described as a great victory, and most of these results were achieved by the soldiers on the right wing. In the past few days, they have been pressed and beaten by the rebels, and there are many casualties, but today's battle has played their prestige, and the previous decline has been swept away, leaving only full of pride.

And Li Ye's position in the hearts of the soldiers of the Tiance Army has risen to an unimaginable height, and after this battle, Li Ye's position in the Tiance Army has become more stable.

At the same time, the Shenji Battalion, which participated in the battle for the first time, also began to emerge, and the reason why this battle was won was that if there was no Tianhuo of the Shenji Battalion, the morale of the rebels would not have fallen so quickly.

That night, the entire military camp was boiling, and even Li Ye was infected by this atmosphere. In order to celebrate, Li Ye specially allowed him to drink. You must know that Li Ye is very strict in governing the army, and it is generally forbidden to drink alcohol, especially during the war.

But today is an exception, after a battle during the day, the rebels have long been scared to the bottom, not to mention the counter-killing, and now when they hear some movement, they all think that the Tiance army has killed it, and the rumors are nothing more than that.

Of course, Li Ye also asked the soldiers to be on guard, not afraid of 10,000, just in case. Li Ye didn't want to, he finally won the victory, because of carelessness, and got a painful lesson, although this kind of lesson is conducive to growth, but Li Ye didn't want this kind of lesson to appear in his own troops.

Just when Li Ye and the soldiers were happy, a message from Lizhou made Li Ye a little worried.

As for the reason, it was very simple, there was news from Lizhou, saying that Yang Shili was dissatisfied with Tian Lingzi and letting him go to the imperial court to serve as a nominal right servant, and killed the eunuch and the supervisor of the Dongchuan army. In the end, Yang Shili listed Chen Jingxuan's top ten crimes and sent troops to crusade against Chen Jingxuan.

The reason why the crusade against Chen Jingxuan instead of against Tian Lingzi is also exquisite. It is estimated that Yang Shili did not want to be said to be a rebellion, so he only raised troops on the grounds of the contradiction between East and West Sichuan.

However, Yang Shili still thought too simply, even if Yang Shili did this, with Tian Lingzi here, Yang Shili's crusade was destined to be a rebellion, at least the ministers of the court and the central government, and even the emperor Li Yi would think so.

Li Ye didn't expect Yang Shili to send troops at this time, this is too crazy!

Although Dongchuan has tens of thousands of troops, Xichuan not only has the Xichuan army, but also 50,000 Shence troops.

Although the combat effectiveness of these 50,000 Shence troops is not easy to estimate, but in terms of numbers, Xichuan has an advantage, who gave Yang Shili the courage to crusade against Chen Jingxuan?

Not only Li Ye couldn't figure it out, but even Liu Qi, Xu Shiren, and Li Yingxu felt inexplicable.

In their opinion, Yang Shili's move is that he has no brains!
