Chapter 8: Fierce Battle Koji Chongyu

Soon, Li Jing's army arrived, and the infantry lined up to meet the enemy, while the artillery found a favorable position and set up an artillery position.

With the sound of cannons, in the piercing whistling, one after another shells quickly crossed the sky and flew towards the position of Koji Chongyu's army.

The shells fell, exploding in the positions of the Koji Chongyu army, and bursts of smoke continued to rise, and the dense artillery fire quickly overwhelmed the enemy positions.

The flesh and blood of the soldiers in the formation were blown up, causing confusion and the neatly arranged formation collapsed.

Koji Chongyu looked shocked!

Until now, he didn't know what was happening, but he saw countless round stones suddenly appear in the rear of the rebels, smashing towards their formation, and a boom sounded, and many soldiers were smashed into the flesh and blood, and many were seriously injured by the aftermath.

"What the hell is going on? What about scouts? What about the Yique guards? Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on? ”

Koji Chongyu was furious, the rebels had such a powerful killing weapon, he didn't know at all, and the Yique guard dared to conceal such important information.

At this moment, Koji Chongyu had the heart to kill, and immediately led people to find the guard of Yique Pass.

"Say, what the hell is going on? What exactly are you hiding? ”

Finding the Yique guard who was about to slip away, Koji Chongyu grabbed the other party, drew his sword, and asked the Yique guard why he was hiding military information.

"General, spare my life, I'm so scared that I forgot about it, I definitely don't want to hide it, and I ask the chief manager to find out."

The guard of Yique will pounce and kneel in front of Koji Chongyu.

"Forgot? You actually forgot such an important matter, just because of you, I caused me to lose my troops, how can I spare you bastard who delayed the warplane!"

Koji Chongyu stabbed him to death with a sword, looking at the panicked army, Koji Chongyu still wanted to struggle again, and personally ascended to command, wanting to stabilize the army.

But one after another shells fell from the sky again, and the queue that had just stabilized was once again dispersed.

"Almost, order the artillery to stop the shelling, the infantry attack, and eat the enemy in front of me for me!"

Li Jing ordered.

"Whoa!"

The herald received the order and immediately raised the flag to stop the artillery and charge the footmen.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

A burst of rapid war drums sounded, and the foot soldiers held spears, stepped on neat steps, and launched a charge against the army of Koji Chongyu, who was still boosting morale, gathering the remnants, and doing the final desperate struggle.

Under the command of Koji Chongyu, the remnants of the soldiers who had just gathered were killed against the rebels.

Li Jing's army was strong, coupled with high morale, the two sides fought a melee, and the imperial army was defeated, throwing away their armor and fleeing in all directions.

Koji Chongyu and Zhang Guangfu fled the battlefield under the escort of their own soldiers, and Li Jing won again.

The soldiers cheered, especially the Shuzhou soldiers who followed Li Jing's rebellion in the early days, they were the most excited.

This victory is one step closer to the attack on the Eastern Capital, and it is getting closer and closer to the final victory.

Counting the losses in this battle, thousands of soldiers and horses were killed, more than 3,000 people were wounded, 30,000 enemies were killed, more than 10,000 people were captured, countless baggage were captured, and hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass were captured.

These hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass just solved the problem of grain and grass for Li Jing's army.

"How is that all there is to it? Didn't the imperial court send an army of 100,000 to encircle and suppress it? Only so much to gain? ”

Li Jing asked, why is the 100,000 army so much loot, it is really a bit unreasonable.

"Shizi, the minister has already asked, there are indeed 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress us, but they divided their troops in the middle, and Cen Changqian, the head of the rear army, led an army of 50,000 and made a detour to deal with other princes!"

Guo Jin said.

Li Jing suddenly realized after hearing this, and at the same time felt that Koji Chongyu and others were really trusting, how much they looked down on him Li Jing, and he actually dared to divide his troops and weaken his combat power.

Li Jing didn't think that they would not know the consequences of dividing the troops, Cen Changqian didn't understand the art of war, and he said that in the past, Koji Chongyu was born as a military general, and he was also a royal family of Gaochang Kingdom, how could such a low-level mistake occur.

"Koji Chongyu is the Gaochang royal family, the general of the Tang Dynasty Zuo Weiwei, when the first emperor was alive, he also followed the British Duke Li Ji and made military exploits, how can he not understand that the division of troops is a taboo!"

Li Jing said.

"I heard that it was because the information given by the guard of Yique Pass was wrong, and he concealed the fact that our army had a divine cannon, so that Koji Chongyu made a mistake in judgment."

"Koji Chongyu's purpose is to trap us in Yique Pass, and after Cen Changqian solves the other princes, he will detour to our rear and form a flanking attack on us."

"There is a shortage of food in Yique Pass, if they really let their plan succeed, we will be trapped in Yique Pass, and when we can't hold on, they will launch a general attack."

Guo Jin continued.

"Don't say it, if we didn't have artillery and muskets, they would have been able to realize this plan, but they were unlucky, and they deserved to be unlucky when they met us."

Li Jing smiled slightly, this koji is so rich that he still has some ability, and he is worthy of the Gaochang royal family.

"The son of the world is blessed with heaven, and God favors him, and he will definitely be able to move forward and be invincible! In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, if there is no son, the Tang Dynasty will definitely die, and it is fortunate to have the talent of the son of the world......"

Guo Jin sent a rainbow fart.

"Nonsense, what am I blessed with the sky, obviously I am the heir of the Holy Emperor, favored by God, blessed by God, the reason why our army can win is because of the blessing of the Holy Emperor!"

Li Jing was reprimanding Guo Jin, but the corners of his mouth couldn't hide a hint of a smile, obviously very useful for Guo Jin's rainbow fart.

If you can speak, you can say more, don't be polite!

"Shizi, what should we do next? Do you want to advance to the east now, or do you want to stay here and recuperate? ”

Han Shizhong asked.

"Our purpose is to help my seventh uncle regain the throne and restore the Tang Sheji, how can you stop here, Guo Jin, I order you to lead an army of 20,000 to cut off Cen Changqian's grain route first, so that they can taste the taste of lack of food, and then cooperate with other princes to exterminate Cen Changqian's 50,000 horses."

Li Jing commanded.

"The last general commands!"

Guo Jin took the order and left, ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses to leave quickly.

Li Jing ordered the army to continue to advance to the eastern capital, and after arriving in the eastern capital, Li Jing did not rush to attack the city, he had to wait for the soldiers and horses of other vassal kings to join him, and then attack the eastern capital together.

Guo Jin quickly found Cen Changqian's logistics supply line and looted the other party's grain and grass.

Cen Changqian learned that the grain and grass had been robbed, and immediately ordered troops and horses to recapture the stolen grain and grass, but unexpectedly fell into Guo Jin's trap, and Cen Jun was defeated and retreated.

Then, Guo Jin raided Cen Changqian's headquarters, causing Cen Changqian's headquarters to suffer a lot of losses.

Cooperate with Li Zhen and others to attack Cen Changqian's army again, Cen Changqian was outnumbered, lost grain and grass, and finally fled in defeat, fled back to the eastern capital, and pleaded guilty to the Empress Dowager Wu Cao.
