Chapter 388: Bloody Battle in Pingyao (5)

"Phew..."

"What's going on?"

Feeling the explosion at that distance, Li Cunxian pulled the reins of the horse hard, forcing his war horse to stop.

And in front of the city wall in front of him, after the black thing was thrown out, there was a violent noise, and then he saw that his warriors seemed to be pushed away by an invisible force.

Countless little things are flying around, destroying everything around them that can be destroyed.

The formation of the cavalry in front was already in disarray, there was no formation to speak of, and the offensive collapsed.

Although the cavalry behind also saw this scene, they were all so frightened that they wanted to stop, but the previous high-speed charge, how could it be so easy to stop, because of inertia, they still rushed into the explosion zone.

Then they were greeted by one black thing after another, and then they experienced for themselves what they had just seen.

A Shatuo soldier tried to dodge, but an invisible wave of heat slammed into him, followed by a broken spear.

He tried to stop, but he couldn't move, he could only watch himself load the spear straight, and he regretted it a little as the iron spearhead passed through the armor and body.

For the scene outside the city wall, the defenders on the city wall and the Shatuo cavalry in the rear outside the city could see it clearly.

There were still many people in the Shatuo cavalry behind who stopped the attack and saw the area of black smoke in front of them.

After the smoke cleared, there were stumps and severed arms everywhere under the city walls, and the wailing continued, and a very pungent smell was sandwiched in the thick smell of blood, like hell on earth.

Even the experienced Shatuo cavalry couldn't help but feel sick to their stomachs when they saw this scene

"Why is this happening?"

"Why is this happening?"

Li Cunxian muttered, the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, and he had no fighting spirit.

This is also normal, in the face of the three-stage blows of the artillery, muskets and earth-shaking thunder of the Shenji Battalion, Rao is fierce Shatuo cavalry can't bear it.

Although the Shatuo cavalry is strong, they are human beings after all, they are flesh and blood, how can they block hot weapons.

And the last earth-shattering thunder was a real gunpowder explosion, and the dense sky-shaking thunder exploded to form a tight blockade network.

The cavalry that rushed through the first two blockade lines finally fell in front of the earth-shaking thunder, crushing the last spirit of the Shatuo army in front of them.

Looking at the men with less than 3,000 people around, one can imagine how fierce the previous battle was.

And the defenders on the city wall, seeing such a tragic scene, were also a little shocked, looked at the earth-shattering thunder in the box next to them, and shrunk their necks, this thing is so powerful?

What would happen if it exploded around you?

Thinking of this, they felt a cold sweat break out on their backs.

And the rest of the Shatuo army stopped, not daring to charge again.

The Pingyao City in front of them, in their eyes, is not a war feat, but hell.

And the soldiers on the city walls are the messengers from hell.

Gai Yu was riding on his horse, and his hand holding the sword trembled involuntarily.

Capturing the thief and capturing the king was his suggestion, but looking at it now, this suggestion has failed.

The 3,000 men lost yesterday, plus the 6,000 men lost in the charge just now, have already lost half of the 20,000 troops.

And the north gate is also attacking, and I think it's no better than my own side.

Is Shatuo about to finish?

Where should Shatuo go?

And where is his future?

Now he can be sure.

This is the trap, a trap that is carefully prepared for them.

It's ridiculous that they thought that the little emperor was already in the bag, who would have thought that the little emperor's army was so strong, and this new weapon would restrain their Shatuo cavalry to death.

You must know that the losses here are all the core cavalry of Shatuo, without these Shatuo cavalry, what will Hedong do to block the imperial army.

The entire battlefield was quiet, and Long Zhi looked at the Shatuo army who had lost their fighting spirit, and immediately ordered.

"God Cannon, fire!"

"Divine General Cannon, fire!"

"Boom, boom!"

The long-lost artillery began to roar again, and the soldiers in the city all learned that the Shatuo army had been defeated, and they were all in high spirits.

Beat the water dogs, why not fight if you can?

Hearing the sound of cannons, the Shatuo cavalry outside the city was like frightened birds, regardless of whether there was an order from Li Cunxian or Gaiyu, some people had already begun to flee the battlefield.

"Withdraw, withdraw...

Suddenly, Gai Yu was stunned, looked in the direction of the city, and the whole person was suddenly stunned.

As the black dot approached, Gai Yu's whole body suddenly became agitated and wanted to ride his horse out of this place.

But suddenly he felt as if the whole war horse was frozen, and he couldn't move at all, and he could only watch the black dot approach.

"No...

A terrible cry followed, but all that came was the sound of a stone hitting a piece of porcelain, and with a 'bang', the porcelain shattered.

There was an extra headless corpse on the ground, and the people around wanted to save it, but when they saw the deafening black ball of hell behind them, they were all frightened and panicked, and they didn't dare to stay here for a moment.

And Li Cunxian, who reacted, saw the headless corpse a few feet away, and he couldn't care about it at this time, so frightened that he kept waving the horsewhip.

The painful war horse immediately marched forward, leaving only a headless corpse to be trampled by the horse's hooves on the battlefield.

Who would have thought that Gaiyu, who was once Li Ke's right-hand man, would actually die here --- think about it.

With the retreat of the Shatuo army, the defenders of the south gate stopped firing their cannons, and they just repelled the invincible Shatuo cavalry?

After a period of calm, the defenders, who came to their senses, let out earth-shattering cheers from their mouths.

Originally, they were all ready to fight with the Shatuo army with knives and guns, but who would have thought that this small earth-shattering thunder would keep the Shatuo cavalry out of the city wall.

With the withdrawal of the remnants of Shatuo in the direction of the south gate, the Shatuo army at the north gate also sounded the horn of retreat.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggested that Kaicheng pursue, take advantage of the loss of fighting spirit of the Shatuo army, annihilate the Shatuo army in one fell swoop, and capture Li Keyong alive."

Liu Jurong thought of his somewhat embarrassing behavior before, and he had the heart to redeem his impression in the eyes of the saint.

"Your Majesty, it is not recommended to go out of the city to pursue. There were less than 5,000 cavalry in the city, and the Shatuo army was no less than the cavalry we had.

Your Majesty's safety is the most important thing, and the matter of pursuing and defeating the enemy can be sent to reinforcements. ”

For this Liu Jurong, Link was a little dissatisfied.

When the Shatuo army attacked before, you were the first to say that it was you who ran; Now that you see that the Shatuo Army is finished, you have the guts?

If there were 10,000 cavalry in the city, Link would also want to beat the Reservoir Dogs.

But just this bit of cavalry, maybe it will be eaten by the Shatuo people.

Li Ye thought for a while, "Forget it, be safe, don't chase it." Thinking that Liu Kui's cavalry should also arrive, let him solve it, hoping to capture Li Keyong in one fell swoop.

Send someone out of the city to confirm whether the Shatuo army is really retreating, and if the Shatuo army is really retreating, send someone to clean up the battlefield. ”

Just as Link was about to leave, Li Ye stopped him.

"Also, count the names of the 2,000 Tiance Army soldiers who died in the previous battle and the soldiers who died in the battle in Pingyao City!"

Lin Kelen paused for a moment, his heart suddenly trembled, and he hugged his fists and said, "Obey!" ”
