After Shangguan Yin Feng gathered the Chinese army, he rode on his horse and quietly looked at Li Yanqing who was rushing towards him, and a real smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This king let you know what is coming and not returning..."
"Fire..."
With Shangguan Yin Feng's roar, Huang Botao on the city tower also immediately issued an order to ignite the cannon, silent for only a few seconds, the city tower let out a 'boom', the first Shenwu cannon fired, and the black round cannonball flew towards Li Yanqing's cavalry who was galloping...
Those Liaobei cavalry marched towards Shangguan Yin Feng's military formation with a fierce momentum, and then after the Shenwu cannon fired, the dull sound of the cannon made the cavalry who rushed to the front couldn't help but tighten the reins, stopped the horse, and in a moment's confusion, several black dots in the sky flew towards them...
"What is this?" A knight frowned at the flying dots...
After the black dot landed, it exploded in the cavalry group, and the cavalry people turned on their backs, wailing all over the ground, and the cavalry in the middle realized that something was wrong, and turned their horses' heads one after another, and then the cannonballs flew next, and as a result, the gathered charging cavalry was blown to the bones, and there were scattered human limbs and horse internal organs everywhere, and the blood instantly spread throughout the battlefield...
Shangguan Yin Feng raised the night gun, pointed forward, and shouted: "All soldiers, kill..."
"Protect the prince..."Huang Wei shouted, patting the horse and following closely...
Everyone behind him was encouraged, his prince rushed forward with guns, those of us who were younger brothers, how could there be no reason not to sell their lives, in addition to the previous Chinese army, the left and right armies under the leadership of their own generals, they rushed towards the cavalry of Liaobei...
Li Yanqing was panicked by this sudden explosion, he never imagined that Shangguan Yin Feng would be so demonic, seeing that the cavalry was blown up and killed, the army's heart was confused, but after all, Shangguan Yin Feng rushed to kill not many troops, and most of them were infantry, and he could still fight with him, so he shouted to the deputy general: "Pass the order, those who retreat from the battle, cut and decide..."
"Kill..."
The two armies were connected, and the sound of artillery stopped immediately, not that Huang Botao did not let go, but that they had already released all the shells, even if there were, now Shangguan Yin Feng personally led the army to rush in, where did he dare to put it again, so he ordered dozens of sergeants to disassemble the Shenwu cannon and load the car, and retreated randomly, and he took more than 2,000 soldiers and 100 musket teams from the Shenji Battalion to join the battlefield...
This battle is a key battle, if defeated, Shangguan Yin Feng will not only lose his reputation, but Xingyang, east of Luoyang, Kyoto, will be directly exposed to the feet of the Liaobei cavalry, so not only Tangyin can not be lost, Anyang must also be recaptured, otherwise the Northern Expedition is hopeless...
The two sides were inseparable on the battlefield, it stands to reason that Sergeant Li Yanqing was attacked by Shenwu artillery, and the army should be in chaos, but because the cavalry that launched the charge was only 30,000, and there were 20,000 people as reserves, the rout of the 30,000 cavalry was reorganized with the addition of 20,000 reserve cavalry, and Li Yanqing managed the army well, and issued a death order that those who retreated must die, and those cavalry had to fight with Shangguan Yin Feng...
After stabbing and killing the two cavalrymen, Shangguan Yin Feng heard the gunshots coming from his rear, and he clearly knew that it was Huang Botao who joined the battlefield with the musket team, so he shouted to Huang Wei, who was still killing the enemy beside him: "Huang Wei, order the Shenji Battalion Musket Team to attack from the enemy's right flank, and the Shenji Battalion is responsible for escorting..."
After Huang Wei slashed and killed a person, he turned around and said, "Take the order...", and rode backwards...
And Shangguan Yin Feng in the formation has been looking for one person, that is Li Yanqing, he is still used to capturing the thief and capturing the king first, but unfortunately, he has not found Li Yanqing, because the fighting forces of the two sides have reached 140,000 people, the sea of people is vast, and there are battlefields everywhere, and he can't see where Li Yanqing is...
Li Yanqing's battlefield fighting skills are not as good as Shangguan Yin Feng, but his military command ability is first-class, and now he is commanding men and horses to attack forward in the rear...
Since ancient times, cavalry has been the natural enemy of infantry, and most of Li Yanqing's men are elite cavalry, Shangguan Yin Feng's cavalry is only 20,000, and the remaining tens of thousands are all infantry, but most of them are hoplites with big shields and spears.
Even Li Yanqing himself couldn't believe that Shangguan Yin Feng, who was mostly infantry, could resist for so long, and what made him palpitate the most was those flying black balls, which killed many of his own people, causing a big psychological shadow...
A cavalryman rode and galloped towards Li Yanqing: "General, the right flank of our army was attacked by the enemy, they can do witchcraft, and before our cavalry approached, they all fell off their horses, and the right flank was torn open a big hole, and our army suffered heavy casualties..."
"What?" Li Yanqing's heart is now a mess, the previous black ball has caused him a lot of pressure in his heart, and now these people are coming, which makes him even more convinced that Shangguan Yin Feng is indeed a demon law: "Take General Ben to see..."
Li Yanqing's right flank was killed and crushed, and all the infantry came, but those who wore black suits and held a black stick that would smoke were the ones who performed the witchcraft: "Archer, release the arrows..."
'Smack... Syllable... The sound of popping beans rang out again, and those who tried to release their bows and arrows fell to the ground, scaring those who wanted to release arrows again to give up their thoughts...
"General, it's better to retreat, the other party knows how to do witchcraft, and before our people get close, they all fall to the ground, if you have any mistakes, the last general can't afford to wait..."The general said respectfully to Li Yanqing, now in the chaos of the army, Li Yanqing's safety must be guaranteed...
"Order the cavalry, launch a charge, you must kill all those demons..."Li Yanqing shouted pointing at the people of the musket, and after speaking, he left the right flank under the cover of his personal guards...
The two sides fought each other for nearly three hours, Shangguan Yin Feng was killed and wounded most of the people here, and the soldiers' willpower to fight tenaciously came completely from Shangguan Yin Feng, the prince, because he fought back and forth in the chaotic army, so that those soldiers had the bottom in their hearts, and their will to fight was also extremely strong.
On the other hand, Li Yanqing, because most of his subordinates are cavalry, and they are also the elite force in the cavalry of Liaobei, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, although there are many casualties, but they are less than one-third of the sergeants under Shangguan Yin Feng, that is to say, if you continue to fight like this, Shangguan Yin Feng will eventually fail...
Just when Shangguan Yin Feng's face was covered with blood, looking at the soldiers fighting each other on the battlefield, Li Yanqing's left-wing army was suddenly in a panic, and the shouting of killing instantly rose, Shangguan Yin Feng looked up, and a group of black shadows in the distance rushed towards Li Yanqing's left-wing cavalry, the sound of killing shook the sky, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and a flag fluttered in the wind, with the word 'Li' written on it, and the flags with the word 'money' and 'Deng' appeared one after another...
"Who's coming..."Shangguan Yin Feng shouted...
"Back to the prince, your name is written on the handsome banner..."
The word 'Shangguan', that's right, what is written on the handsome flag is 'Shangguan', and it is none other than the former military governor Li Xiucheng and the deputy governor Qian Menglong, who were scattered; Deng Yu, the deputy governor of the left army, and the three of them came quickly with nearly 50,000 soldiers, and saw that there was a battle in front, so they led the soldiers to attack Li Yanqing's left flank...
Because Li Yanqing's cavalry and Shangguan Yin Feng's soldiers had been fighting for a long time, most of the people on both sides had already been exhausted, and Li Xiucheng appeared on the battlefield at this time, although he was running for a long time, the soldiers' energy was much greater than those cavalry, so as soon as they entered the battlefield, Li Yanqing's left wing cavalry was defeated, and the situation on both sides suddenly changed...
"General, the enemy still has reinforcements arriving, our army has suffered heavy casualties, do you want to retreat..."The adjutant general came to Li Yanqing quickly, due to the previous battle, the adjutant general had been injured...
"Huh..."Li Yanqing was relieved, when he charged before, he had been thinking about whether Shangguan Yin Feng had any plans, and now Li Xiucheng's appearance made the doubts in his heart disappear, although he didn't know that Li Xiucheng and the others were not arranged by Shangguan Yin Feng, but now their appearance did affect the situation of the battle, coupled with the attack of the Shenwu cannon and musket team, the soldiers under his command would have already had a huge shadow in their hearts, if it weren't for him, the main general, who was present to fight in person, I am afraid that the whole army would have been defeated and retreated: "Order, rear army cover, The rest of the men and horses retreated..."
"No..."The adjutant general seemed to have received a life-saving straw, and after receiving the order, he quickly went down to deliver the order himself...
After a while, if you look from the air, you can see Li Yanqing's cavalry retreating in the direction of Anyang like a tide, leaving behind tens of thousands of corpses of soldiers killed in battle, and the entire battlefield is dense...
"Quickly pass the order, poor Kou Mo chase..."Shangguan Yin Feng shouted at Huang Wei beside him...
