In fact, Li Yong also found out that there were not many cavalry with Chai Shao, but Li Yong didn't have a worried look on his face, because he knew that Li Er must have made complete preparations, and the reason why Li Er gave him a secret decree to let him also come to guard the palace ban was just to guard against firearms, so Li Yong's goal was to be a musketeer, and the rest would be handed over to Chai Shao, even if Chai Shao couldn't do it, Li Yong didn't believe that Li Er had no other arrangements, so Li Yong's face was still very calm, and he said lightly.

"It's just such a big place, and it's useless if there are too many people."

"That's it, isn't it just one or two thousand people, afraid of a ball?"

Li Jingheng said with some disdain, and Zhang Zhilong said loudly.

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, and a torch swimming dragon has appeared in front of him, Li Yong took out his telescope and observed it carefully, and said in a deep voice.

"Sure enough, there were muskets, and two guns, but small ones."

Li Yuntian also took out the telescope and observed it carefully, Li Jingheng next to him was anxiously scratching his ears and cheeks, originally they were also looking forward to the telescope, but because they suddenly stayed in Lijiazhuang, they didn't bring the telescope.

"What did you see?"

Although Li Jingheng and the others tried their best to stare wide-eyed, they couldn't see clearly at all.

"There are indeed one or two thousand cavalry, and nearly a thousand musketeers, and the prince is quite well prepared."

Li Yong said with a smile, and Li Jingheng hurriedly asked.

"Even if the prince can make muskets and cannons? Does it work? ”

"It looks like that, I don't know if it can be used, after all, with the design drawings, if you can't even make the look, you can't say it, at least the musket will definitely work, and after the musket is made, they must have experimented."

Li Yong shook his head slightly and said, Li Jingheng and the others couldn't help but be shocked when they heard it, so there were really muskets in the rebels, the shadow of the famous tree, not to mention that they themselves had played with muskets, and they knew the power of muskets deeply, if it was a bow and arrow, they were wearing armor and wielding spears, and they were confident that they could block it, but in the face of the musket volley, it was really unstoppable, not only they couldn't stop it, no one in the world could stop it, no matter how high the martial arts were, however, seeing the three musketeers next to them, they were a lot calmer, Li Chengqian was selling a musket in front of Li Yong, isn't that an axe from the class? After all, the musket was tossed out by Li Yong, Li Yong can be said to be the ancestor of the musket, in the distance, Hou Junji, who was riding on a horse, also raised the telescope and carefully observed, Li Chengqian, Hou Sailei, Helan Chushi and others all stared at Hou Junji, because they did not have a telescope, the telescope is a treasure, and the military generals attach great importance to it, and some caravans also attach great importance to it, trying to get a telescope, even if the telescope is very precious, with the identity of Prince Li Chengqian, it is not difficult to get a telescope, As long as he opens his mouth to his father or Li Yong, he will definitely be able to get a telescope, but he did not open his mouth, he is unwilling to bow to Li Yong, in his opinion, Li Yong should take the initiative to dedicate the telescope to him, how can he take the initiative to ask for it? Second, he didn't think he would use a telescope, but now, he regretted it a little, and he had asked his father for a telescope.

"Guogong, how's that?"

Li Chengqian couldn't wait to ask, and Hou Junji said in a deep voice.

"There are archers on the gatehouse, there are ambushes on the left side of the palace gate, the shadows are too big to see how much, and in front of the palace gate is Li Yong."

Li Chengqian, Hou Selei and the others couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, they thought that there would be archers on the gatehouse, after all, His Majesty probably already knew that they were going to rebel, so it was normal to be prepared, but they didn't expect that there were ambushes at the palace gate, after all, even if His Majesty knew that they would rebel, he wouldn't know that they were going to rebel tonight, how could they set up an ambush at the palace gate in advance, and what shocked them even more was that Li Yong was here? After all, Li Yong has always lived in Lijiazhuang outside the city! How could it be possible to appear in Xuanwu Gate late at night? Unless, Your Majesty and Li Yong already knew that they were going to rebel tonight! So who revealed it? Li Chengqian and Hou Selei all thought of a person, Su Gan Chengji, it must be Su Gan Chengji who confessed, otherwise how could there be ambushes outside the Xuanwu Gate? How could Li Yong be here late at night? At this moment, Li Chengqian's heart was full of hatred for Su Gan Chengji, but then Li Chengqian comforted himself, even if Li Yong was here, what could he do? Just when Li Chengqian was thinking like this, Hou Junji's voice came from his ears again.

"There are musketeers, and if there are three columns, there are about a thousand musketeers!"

"Impossible!"

"How is that possible?"

"Where did the musketeers come from?"

"Haven't the muskets and artillery of the Shenji Battalion returned to Chang'an yet?"

Li Chengqian, Hou Selei and others couldn't help but exclaim when they heard it, their biggest reliance was that they had firearms in their hands, but they didn't expect Li Yong to have musketeers, the question was where did Li Yong get the musketeers? Hou Junji groaned.

"Although the musketeers of the Shenji Battalion have not yet returned to Chang'an, the firearms supervisor must still have a stock of muskets, so it is easy for Li Yong to temporarily pull up a musketeer, but I am afraid it will be too late to train."

Li Chengqian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart after hearing this, yes, the musketeers that Li Yong temporarily pulled up must not have undergone much training, and I am afraid it will not be of much use, if you want to break through the Xuanwu Gate, you must blast through the city gate, and you must defeat the ambush soldiers in front of you, Li Chengqian stared at the Xuanwu Gate in front of him, and his heart was excited, it was here that his father launched the Xuanwu Gate Change, and ascended to the throne in one fell swoop, and now his father is no longer as brave as he was in the past, and he also led the troops to the Xuanwu Gate, Li Chengqian forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a deep voice.

"Chen Guogong, please give orders!"

Hou Junji was not polite and said in a deep voice.

"Set up the artillery, prepare to bombard the palace gate, the musketeers line up, and the cavalry line up and wait for the fighters!"

Hussere clenched his fists.

"Order!"

With that, Hussere immediately turned his horse's head and drove his horse to the back and said loudly.

"Quick, musketeers come to the front, you all hurry up for me, be neat, and be sure to remember the usual drills!"

The musketeers who ran behind them ran forward with muskets and began to line up, under the loud shouts of Hou Selei and Helan Chushi, they were finally arranged into three columns, although they were a little crooked, but they were indeed three columns, Hou Junji frowned slightly, and Li Chengqian looked at the three columns of musketeers but felt very much expectation, admittedly, he also saw that these three columns of musketeers were not as neat as the musketeers of the Shenji Battalion, but what was the use of just being neat? In Li Chengqian's view, the neat queue of the Shenji Battalion is just for the sake of good looks, just to please his father, just be able to use muskets skillfully, what are you doing with so many vain?

"Musketeers, step forward!"

Hou Selei shouted excitedly, he had never led soldiers, at this time with these musketeers, he had a feeling of eating and supporting the battlefield, maybe he was a buried general, and when the prince mutiny successfully ascended the throne as the emperor, maybe he would hand over the Shenji battalion and the firearms supervisor to him in charge, and it would be easy to make contributions in the future, the musketeers in the distance, Li Yong could see it clearly with a telescope, he couldn't help but smile faintly, the most supportive of Li Chengqian, the prince, was a civil official, and it was impossible for a civilian official to follow Li Chengqian to rebel, The one who can be looked at by Li Yong next to Li Chengqian is Hou Junji, but Hou Junji's identity is sensitive, and it is impossible for him to train private soldiers for Li Chengqian in person, so he was not surprised at all to see the crooked queue of Li Chengqian's musketeers, the queue is very useful for the musketeers, a neat queue means well-trained, and well-trained means that orders are forbidden.

"Musketeers, step forward!"

With Li Yong's order, the drums sounded, all the musketeers marched in unison, the sound of clicking echoed under the Xuanwu Gate, the musket array continued to move forward, Li Yong silently calculated the distance, although Li Chengqian made a musket according to the drawings, but the leaked drawings were the original experimental version, whether it was range, power or stability are not as good as the muskets that were improved later, so, for Li Yong, this is basically a battle without suspense, Because whether it is the training of musketeers or the performance of muskets, Li Yong's side has the upper hand, all the musketeers marched neatly forward with the beat of the drums, tightly grasping the muskets in their hands and waiting, the atmosphere in front of the entire Xuanwu Gate was unprecedentedly solemn, everyone was very concerned about the upcoming battle, and Chai Shao, who was shrinking in the shadows with the cavalry, was even more concerned, he had been guarding outside, although he had long heard of the prestige of the musket, but he had not seen it with his own eyes, Li Yong calmly calculated the distance, suddenly, The sound of the musket rang out, it was very harsh in this silent night, and the musketeers who were holding the musket and waiting intently couldn't help but be nervous when they heard the sound of the musket, and even Li Yong couldn't help but be slightly stunned, why did Li Chengqian's musketeers shoot? Li Chengqian's musket had a shorter range, so how could he shoot at such a distance? Is it the wrong distance? No, Li Yong reacted immediately, and some of the musketeers on the opposite side shot directly without an order because they were too nervous, which is a big taboo, because once someone shoots, it will cause a chain reaction, what Li Yong doesn't know is that at this time, Hou Sailei and Helan Chushi were already a little angry, and Hou Sailei shouted angrily.

"Don't shoot! Steady! Steady! Wait for the order! ”

However, Hussere's shouting was completely drowned out in the sound of muskets, his shouts could not relieve the tension of the musketeers at all, nor could they stop them from shooting, not only the musketeers in the first row fired, but the musketeers in the second row also looked at the hole and fired, as if only shooting and killing the enemy could relieve the tension in their hearts, the musketeers who had fired immediately squatted down and began to reload the gunpowder, before they loaded the gunpowder although not very fast, but at least they could fill it skillfully, and now, a pair of hands trembled violently, They are all prodigals who have never been on the battlefield, they were recruited to be musketeers for gold and silver, before they thought that they could kill all sides on the battlefield, but now they are really on the battlefield, but their hands tremble nervously, Hou Sailei and Helan Chushi both felt very confused, obviously they were very good when they practiced, everyone would act according to orders, why did they really pull their hips so when they came in handy? Hou Junji's face on the horse had become ugly, and Hou Sailei and Helan Chushi were still patting their chests and assuring him that the musketeers had already been trained, which was called being well-trained? What a training! Li Chengqian listened to the sound of the muskets, his face turned red with excitement, he looked forward to it, wanting to see how much damage was caused, but it was night and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, so he couldn't see the situation on the other side clearly, but soon he realized that something was wrong, because he didn't hear any miserable howls, Hou Junji, who was holding a telescope, could see the situation on the other side, he could see that only a few people were shot and fell to the ground in the musket array on the opposite side, it can be said that this round of musket attacks had no effect at all, What made him even more disappointed was that these musketeers had a very hard time loading gunpowder, and when he was on an expedition to Gaochangguo, he had seen with his own eyes how skilled and fast the musketeers of the Shenji Battalion were in loading gunpowder on the battlefield, which was too stark in comparison! Not only are these musketeers trained like, but it is even harder to reload gunpowder than! Thinking about the promises of Hou Selei and Helan Chushi, his lungs are almost exploding, and he is not enough to plan! The chaotic gunfire stopped, and Hussere, who was on a horse next to him, shouted.

"Reload gunpowder! Don't panic! Take out your daily training! ”

However, the musket array has been in a mess, some musketeers squatted on the ground and hurriedly loaded gunpowder, and some musketeers even slipped backwards while loading gunpowder, when the musketeers remembered at first, the musketeers around Li Yong were also a little flustered, but the long-term rigorous training still made the array unchanged, the drums still continued, all the musketeers were still marching neatly with the drums, and after the muskets became scarce, the drums became rapid, and all the musketeers strode forward with the drums.

"Stop!"

With Li Yong's order, the drumming stopped abruptly, and all the musketeers immediately stopped.

"First column, ready!"

"Fire!"

……

Bang bang bang......

A dense burst of muskets rang out, followed by screams and wails......

However, after a slight pause, the dense musket continued......

Some of the rebel musketeers were shot and fell to the ground screaming, some loaded their muskets and immediately raised their guns to shoot, and some were so frightened that they ran backwards with a crawl, and they couldn't organize an effective counterattack at all, in fact, Hou Sailei and Helan Chushi were dumbfounded, because the musket array had already collapsed, and at this moment, they understood what a musket formation was and what a rabble was. If you run late, you will have to be beaten into a sieve by a musket.
