Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Chapter 35 The decisive battle begins

Zhang Zhiji, who received the instructions from King Ding, had already led the entire second army, part of the third army, and a force of 40,000 to attack.

In Liangxiang, Lu Mou and Zhang Zhiji joined forces.

Of course, in this meeting, Lu Mou only had himself, Li Yan and three hundred Zhang family guards.

Li Yan was introduced to Zhang Zhiji. Zhang Zhiji was not surprised and just greeted him calmly.

He did not reject Li Yan, but military generals. He was naturally alienated from literati. Li Yan just laughed it off.

"What, Guan Ning hasn't arrived yet?"

Zhang Zhiji answered painfully: "No."

"why?"

"Wu Sangui said that the journey was long and difficult. In addition, the heavy snow melted last winter, making it more difficult for the soldiers to travel. Therefore, they could not arrive for a long time."

Lu Mou smiled calmly: "It's almost half a month since my brother brought the silver to fulfill his request. Yongping is only a thousand miles away from Beijing, but his cavalry actually climbed half a month before he was halfway there. Wu Sangui still wants to stay Sell ​​it at a price that cannot satisfy an earl's appetite."

Zhang Zhiji nodded: "That's right."

Lu Mou stood up calmly: "But it's okay, he won't come for the time being, so I feel more relieved. We can give it a try here. Then, we won and showed our strength. At that time, if he still doesn't obey, I will stop sending money and food to Wu Sangui’s 50,000-strong army. By then, my brother and Zhao Youhu will be in the hands of Shanhaiguan, and we will be in the capital. Just let Wu Sangui squat in a village with no front and no store, unable to advance or retreat."

Li Yan was once again surprised by the evil heart of this little guy. At this time, he still dared to force Guan Ning and Wu Sangui to rebel.

"I dare, because Wu Sangui walked to Luan County at this time, followed by my brother and Zhao Youhu's loyal 50,000 troops, and in front of me were 100,000 warriors. After his food and grass were cut off, those arrogant and powerful generals must be unwilling. Then By that time, he no longer had the leverage to bargain with me and my son. If the tiger falls in Pingyang, if I don't bully him, it will be regarded as my lack of wisdom, and I will be a fool."

Li Yan and Zhang Zhiji couldn't help but admire him. Zhang Zhiji, in particular, truly understood that when King Ding suggested that the prince supervise the division, there was already a foreshadowing of the relationship that would lead the tiger away from the mountain.

If Wu Sangui's military power is eliminated and Guan Ning is completely controlled, the situation in the capital will be completely settled.

"Okay, time is running out, we have to deal with Li Guo as soon as possible."

The Ming Dynasty's army, in this era, had the best firearms ratio in the world. Firearms are the only way to completely drive the cavalry out of the war arena.

Therefore, after receiving Lu Mou's instructions, Zhang Zhiji not only brought out the Second Army and half of the Third Army this time, but also brought out almost all the firearms assets.

Not only the artillery of the Forbidden Army, but also the artillery at the top of the city, all that could be moved were brought out.

Now, the number of artillery pieces in the entire Second Army has reached as many as a thousand.

Looking at so many artillery pieces, Lu Mou began to pray silently in his heart: Li Guo, please don't be accidentally injured and killed under his intensive artillery fire.

The morning sun rose again in early spring, and the earth began to tremble because of the trampling of countless pairs of big feet.

The dark Ming army formed a phalanx that stretched as far as the eye could see. Above each phalanx, which was a battalion unit, the brand-new Ming war flags fluttered, forming a flaming sea in the morning wind.

The soldiers, dragging large and small artillery pieces and carrying five-eyed machine guns, came rolling in on the dust that filled the sky. This is a Ming Dynasty army that has changed its appearance. Although it has not yet achieved invincibility, its military appearance and spirit have reached a certain height.

Their eyes are firm, their steps are firm, and their will to fight is high in their eyes.

Li Guo's eight thousand cavalry looked lonely and small in front of such a huge military formation that could not be seen to the edge.

But Li Guo remained calm, and his face, darkened by years of battle, looked even more determined and steady.

Controlling the pre-battle excitement of the big green horse under his crotch, he pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword and looked coldly at the enemy pressing towards him like an ocean.

He felt that this Ming army was indeed different from any other Ming army he thought, but in his heart, he was actually more surprised that the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the world-famous Guan Ning cavalry, actually had such an army hidden deep inside. army. This was definitely beyond the expectations of the entire army.

What would be the outcome if my own army faced such an army?
  The enemies on the opposite side stopped, and they began to aim various artillery pieces at themselves. Then he stood there quietly, waiting for his charge.

Slowly draw out the sword, so today, let me test your strength first to see if you are the opponent of our army.

As his sword was raised high, the rising sun reflected a dazzling light on his sword, just like the high fighting spirit and indomitable spirit bursting out from the sword.

Following the order, the eight thousand cavalry launched an attack without hesitation in the face of a sea of ​​enemies.

"Boom." The sound of the cannon made the earth tremble and everyone's hearts trembled.

The decisive battle with Li Guo's main force began.

A fiery projectile tore through the tranquility of the early morning and rushed towards him.

Li's eyes didn't look at it at all. He had already selected a target, which was Li Yan standing in front of the enemy's formation.

He is his mortal enemy, his traitor, and it is thanks to him that he has fallen into this passive situation. He must be killed this time to eliminate the enemy from the future for the Chuang Army.

The projectile flew over his head, drew a beautiful arc, and whizzed down, breaking a brother not far behind Li Guo at the waist, and then broke the back of the war horse. The war horse let out this The first tragic sound in the battle, he fell down suddenly, and in the blink of an eye he was trampled into pulp by the brothers behind him.

But no brother stopped because of him, nor did he slow down the impact. On the contrary, the sacrifice of his companions further inspired the soldiers' enthusiasm for bloody battles.

Someone was shouting just now. At this moment, everyone bit their mouths tightly, widened their eyes, locked their targets in the enemy's formation, and charged without hesitation.

With the sound of the cannon, the large and small artillery that had been loaded long ago roared together. The sound of the cannons combined together was earth-shattering.

Thousands of projectiles whizzed down, and the whizzing together was thrilling. Projectiles, large and small, smashed into the charging team. The screams of people and the screams of war horses suddenly became loud, and the charging formation collapsed. In this row of shelling alone, at least six to seven hundred warriors died tragically on the spot.

The earthquake was shrouded in thick smoke from the artillery and became blurry, but a gust of morning wind blew through and lifted the veil. In front of Li Guo and his brothers, there was a wall of black dots made of five-eyed machines. Muzzle, made of wall.

Li Guo was lucky because the war horse under his crotch was a rare horse in the world. At the moment when the enemy's muskets had just lit the match, his war horse made a leap and plunged into the enemy's formation like a knife. .
