In the first round of the confrontation, Zhu Youwen found that the Praetorian Guards were so vulnerable. As expected, the Forbidden Army was nothing more than a rabble.

When the two armies face each other, morale is the most important. It stands to reason that Zhu Youwen won the first battle and his morale was greatly shaken. On the other hand, on Li Ji's side, the soldiers were all depressed and demoralized.

If the conventional tactics are followed, Li Ji will definitely lose. But Zhu Youwen forgot one thing, this is not a plain battle, Li Ji is the defender, and he has Ruzhou City.

Although the city wall was dilapidated, the defenders of the city had a huge advantage, and Zhu Youwen could only wait for Li Ji to fight again for the time being.

At this moment, Zhu Youwen's coalition army was all elated, and they already felt that they would win. Especially Zhu Youwen, he even thought of the scene of entering Luoyang City.

The Son of Heaven became a puppet again, and then used the excuse of killing Zhu Wen and inherited the title of King of Liang himself, and this Tang Dynasty is my Zhu Youwen's.

Kong Jie was defeated and returned, and Li Ji was very satisfied. Zhan Yunpeng next to him was very anxious: "Your Majesty, let me fight!"

Li Ji seemed to be waiting for him to say: "Okay, Zhan Yunpeng, I will order you to fight."

Zhan Yunpeng couldn't bear it anymore, and was overjoyed when he heard it: "The minister is willing to bring two thousand cavalry, and the enemy will be defeated!"

Li Ji shook his head: "I will only give you five hundred, remember, as long as you win, you can't lose." If you are defeated, come to you! ”

Five hundred, Zhan Yunpeng was stunned for a moment, and then gritted his teeth: "Okay, open the city gate!"

As soon as the drum sounded, the city gate was opened, and Zhan Yunpeng took five hundred right dragon and tiger army iron cavalry out of the city again to fight.

Zhang Guiba saw that the other party was out of the city and wanted to make meritorious service in front of the army, so he hugged his fists and said to Zhu Youwen: "The envoy is the envoy, and the last general is willing to invite soldiers to fight!"

Zhu Youwen shouted with satisfaction: "Okay! You bring another 3,000 iron horsemen and capture the opponent's vanguard for me! ”

Zhang Guiba surrendered his orders and responded with three thousand iron horsemen.

The cavalry of the two sides met, but Zhan Yunpeng was not in a hurry, and the five hundred cavalry under his command rushed back and forth, and it turned out that he used a chain of horse formations.

Of course, this is also due to Li Ji's strategy, he learned the chain of horses of the golden vulture in later generations, and ordered Zhan Yunpeng to lead the troops into battle.

Zhang Guiba was shocked, where had his subordinates seen this kind of tactic. Although there are many people, the opponent jumps back and forth on the horse, which is dazzling. Within a few rounds, Zhang Guiba's formation was in chaos.

This is nothing, after all, the number of Zhan Yunpeng is too small. Who knew that the right dragon and tiger soldier had a few round copper bumps pinned to his waist, and there were leads left on the copper bumps.

I saw them show their fire folds, ignite the fuse, and threw the copper bumps into Zhang Guiba's army.

"Bang bang bang! ......" dust and smoke rose everywhere, and the fire soared into the sky.

Although the power of this native grenade is limited, the war horse under Zhang Guiba's crotch was frightened, scattered and fled, and the formation was chaotic.

It's a pity that the raw materials for gunpowder are limited, and Li Ji only made a small part. Moreover, his gunpowder technology is still immature, and the lethality and destructive power of this kind of native grenade thrown out are very limited, and many copper grenades are often blown in half and cannot hurt people at all.

But there is another advantage, that is, the movement is big enough. As soon as this thing exploded, it made a loud noise.

Zhang Guiba was carrying cavalry, and the war horse under his crotch heard this deafening explosion, and immediately scattered in fright. The cavalry horses led by Zhan Yunpeng have all been trained, and the horses are used to the sound of explosions, so they are not nervous.

Zhan Yunpeng saw the opportunity and shouted: "The thieves have been defeated, soldiers, if you want to make meritorious contributions, follow me!"

The morale of the right dragon and tiger army was greatly boosted, and they rushed into the enemy army and slashed and killed, and Zhang Guiba was defeated.

Seeing that it was not good, Zhang Guiba turned his horse's head and wanted to escape.

Zhan Yunpeng shouted: "Where is the dog thief!" Take off the Zhemu bow from his back, bend the bow and aim at Zhang Guiba's heart.

With a 'whoosh' sound, the arrow from the string flew out, hitting Zhang Guiba's heart.

Zhang Guiba fell on the pile and dismounted, and was killed on the spot. Precisely:

The iron horse deceived and disturbed the enemy's heart, and the heavenly fire and mines defeated the thief army.

Hundreds of steps through Yang to kill the enemy generals, the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty returns to the true truth.

Zhang Guiba's side was in chaos, Zhu Youwen's Shenwu army was in an uproar, while the Praetorian Guards on Ruzhou City cheered.

As the saying goes, there is great hope, and there is great disappointment. The Shenwu Army, who originally thought that they had the chance to win, was greatly frightened when they saw Zhang Guiba's ATM defeated in an instant, and their originally high morale immediately disappeared.

On the other hand, the Praetorian Guards, who were originally trembling, thought that they would definitely be defeated. It can be seen that Zhan Yunpeng's 500 cavalry won more with less, killing the other party to the ground, and some people were fanning again, winning the battle of the army, and the morale was greatly boosted, and everyone was gearing up.

After a short time, I saw the gates of the city wide open. Thousands of iron horsemen rushed out of the east and west gates, and then the infantry army of the southern gate of the main city also poured out.

This confrontation was a frontal hard shoulder, and the cavalry on both wings were crossbowmen, rushing at Zhu Youwen's army, and the Shenwu army was in chaos.

And Ling Hu Yunlong commanded the infantry army to come out of the nest from the south, and overwhelmingly pressed Zhu Youwen.

Zhu Youwen was shocked, how could this forbidden army become a division of tigers and wolves in the blink of an eye.

The forbidden army, which was like chicken blood, screamed and rushed straight forward, and if they won the battle, they would be rewarded, and they could be rewarded with military merit.

This military merit field is the biggest motivation for the soldiers, not only is there no tax on the military merit field, but the imperial court will also distribute grain seeds for free in disaster years, and this field can also be hereditary.

Who said that the forbidden army could not fight, they stabbed out their hands and spears as forks, smashed sledgehammers as hoes, and cut Tang knives as firewood knives.

The vanguard in front was the Dragon and Tiger Army on the right, followed by the Forbidden Army, and in the back was the Warlord. After the Warlord joined the fight, the bad guys pounced.

Zhu Youwen's Shenwu army was cut and surrounded, Zhang Guihou died in battle, and Zhu Youyong, the commander of the loyal army, as Zhu Youwen's allied army, was also surrounded by the forbidden army in Pigeon Ridge.

The Shenwu Army was completely defeated this time.

Only Zhu Youzi, the commander of the Xuanwu Army, who escaped the catastrophe, was heading in the direction of Yique County.

In Yique County, the county ordered Nan Batian to converge a lot, and he met his plague god Pan Da stunned.

However, as the head of a county, he naturally has the means to make his own money. On this day, he was closing the door at the yamen, and quietly found a box from under the bed.

Ten years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. Although the Tang Dynasty has no governors, and there is no snowflake silver, there are silk silks and copper coins.

The box was full of money that Nan Batian had searched.

Nan Batian looked around like a thief for a moment, and then took out the money in the box and began to count them one by one.

Corrupt officials have a common problem, that is, they love to count money. Although he knew how many coins were still in the box, Nan Batian still counted them every day.

It was only at this time that there was a sense of satisfaction in his heart, and at this time, someone broke this satisfaction.

"My lord, it's not good, it's not good!" The official ran to the door in a panic and shouted.

Nan Batian, frightened, hurriedly put the coins into the box and covered it, and then carefully pushed it under the bed, so that he could be at ease. He pushed open the door and didn't fight: "What's wrong, is it your dead father or dead mother."

Nan Batian's mouth was poisonous, but fortunately, the official was used to it, and he stammered: "We, our county is surrounded by thieves."

PS: I recommend a book "The First Powerful Minister of Daming Chongzhen", which is a friend of my author group, and I forgot to give him a chapter when I opened a new book.

Take advantage of Shangsanjiang and give him a push. I've read a few of them before, and it's very well written, and it's undoubtedly a good book.
