now.
Zhu Chongyuan's banner was majestic and powerful, and he had thousands of cavalry under his command, all of them were murderous and flamboyant, so arrogant.
Even the scouts were not sent out, and the whole army rushed towards the battlefield with a roar.
He came to the battlefield not to support, but because he couldn't wait to meet the current emperor Li Yi.
In his opinion, even if Li Yi could not be captured alive in one stick of incense, he should still surround Li Yi in the middle of the battlefield and prepare for the final attempt to persuade him to surrender.
But when he saw the defeated cavalry retreating one after another, he was confused.
His slender eyes were full of confusion and anger, "What on earth is going on? What happened on the battlefield ahead?"
The soldier replied, "Commander, the defeated soldiers we just captured said that the 30,000 elite cavalry of the old battalion led by General Zhu Yong were attacked head-on by the enemy today, suffering heavy casualties and being surrounded."
"What?"
Zhu Chongyuan was shocked and angry, "Nonsense, that's 30,000 elite soldiers from the old battalion. One against a hundred, they can easily defeat 100,000 troops. How could they be defeated by Li Yixiao'er? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Seeing the furious Zhu Chongyuan, the soldiers did not dare to say anything.
But as more and more troops retreated, he had no choice but to believe it.
Zhu Yong was defeated, and the 30,000 elite soldiers of the old battalion were beaten to a complete collapse. This was something that even Zhu Yong would not dare to think of even if he was killed, and they were defeated so quickly!
Of course, he still didn't know that his adopted son Zhu Yong, the most invincible warrior in the world, had been killed by Li Yi. If he knew, his jaw would probably drop.
Thirty thousand elite cavalry from the old battalion were surrounded. How could Zhu Chongyuan dare to be careless? Those were his own elite cavalry. One of them was dead, one was missing, and there was no way to replenish them.
He did not dare to be careless anymore, and immediately ordered to set up camp on the spot and defend to the death. He also ordered other generals to come for reinforcements, and called in Liu Zongmu, his strongest general, to come for support.
At this moment, Liu Zongmu was leading troops to besiege Wancheng. He had been repelled dozens of times. When he learned that the commander had sent him to support Zhu Yong, he gritted his teeth and chose to give up the siege.
Liu Zongmu and dozens of generals rushed to the battlefield from all directions with more than 100,000 troops. They defeated all the forces of nine cattle and two tigers before they reached the battlefield, but what they got was Zhu Yong's headless corpse.
"This...is this Zhu Yong?"
Liu Zongmu was shocked.
The soldier responded, "Yes, General."
"How did he die?"
"He was killed by Emperor Li Yi, and half of his head was cut off."
"Fart!" Liu Zongmu was furious, "Zhu Yong is invincible in boxing and kicking skills, and with a spear, he is not inferior even to me. How could he be killed by the little emperor!"
He was shocked and angry. Zhu Yong was the adopted son of Marshal Zhu Chongyuan and the commander of the elite cavalry of the old camp. How could he be killed by the ignorant and incompetent little emperor?
Isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?
It is more believable to say that Zhu Yong fell off his horse and died.
And they were defeated just as the battle started.
At this time, some soldiers rushed towards him and said, "General, it's not good. The officers and soldiers have begun to surround us on all sides. We'd better retreat quickly. If we don't leave, we won't be able to leave!"
Liu Zongmu gritted his teeth, but his reason still stood at the commanding heights, and he ordered the entire army to retreat.
At this time, Li Yi and Su Changyu joined forces, fought steadily, and headed straight for Zhu Chongyuan's camp.
Looking at the camp of thieves and bandits with trenches crisscrossing them and countless horses resisting them, Li Yi snorted coldly and immediately ordered a retreat.
Let his subordinates bite this hedgehog camp, so forget it!
The dragoons showed off their power and made a circle around the entire bandit camp before heading straight to Wancheng.
Today, Wancheng is still under siege from all sides by thieves. Millions of thieves launched wave after wave of attacks towards Wancheng. They reached the top of the city several times, only to be driven back again.
The infantry under Zhu Chongyuan launched a desperate attack on Wancheng. Many generals personally led the charge. The thieves and bandits, with high morale, continued to attack the city of Wancheng.
Without the blessing of new firearms, Wancheng would have been breached long ago. Even so, Cao Fengyang still felt extremely pressured.
In this battle to encircle and annihilate Zhu Chongyuan's army, he and Wancheng were the biggest baits, attracting Zhu Chongyuan and providing sufficient time for Li Yi to set up his pocket formation.
When Li Yi rushed to the outskirts of the battlefield, looking at the smoke-filled battlefield, he couldn't help but frown, "Cao Fengyang and Suo Yi should take the lead in this battle!"
When all the generals heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
With ten thousand people defending the army and resisting millions of thieves, it is definitely not something that only a few people can do.
"Preach my will, set up the magic arrows, shoot out all the arrows, and give me a hard blow. First, give the thieves a blow!"
"As soon as the magical arrows stop, everyone charges with guns. I will scare Zhu Chongyuan's courage at the foot of Wancheng City!"
"promise!"
…
On the battlefield, the fire was still in full swing. The thieves and infantrymen held up shields, bitten daggers, stepped on the corpses of their comrades, and climbed to the top of the city desperately.
Several bandit generals personally took the lead and rushed to the top of the city with large shields, and vaguely occupied an open space, providing a venue for the bandits who would later board the city.
At this moment, piercing screams sounded from a distance.
Then, black iron clouds covering the sky fell from the sky.
Balls of flames instantly burned on the battlefield. In just a moment, the entire battlefield was engulfed in flames.
Water and fire are merciless, and the raging fire devours everything, completely engulfing everything in its path.
This scene completely stunned Zhu Chongyuan, and when he looked at his generals Liu Zongmu and others, they were all frightened.
Haven't they seen the military's magical arrows? They are extremely powerful, but the accuracy is extremely low. To be hit, it all depends on luck. But this time, the magical arrows directly refreshed their knowledge. They don't rely on magical arrows. The accuracy of the arrow depends on the flame.
Especially now that the thieves are attacking the city intensively, with a tight formation, and they will burn everything.
The bandits who attacked the city were gone in an instant.
Zhu Chongyuan was the first to react and shouted, "The officers and soldiers are on the hillside over there. Liu Zongmu, lead someone to help me seize the army's magical arrow position, immediately!"
Today, he was really angry. He had long heard that the young emperor Li Yi had built a new army, but he didn't take it seriously at all. What is a group of little soldiers who have never been on the battlefield?
But today, he really saw that the strength of this new army was simply terrifying, equipped with super powerful firearms and brave and capable cavalry.
It has to be said that even these magical arrows are deadly. If they keep shooting like this, let alone conquering Wancheng, it will be good if this million-strong army does not collapse on its own.
Liu Zongmu, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, immediately roared and raised the 80-pound Guan Dao in his hand. The fine cavalry under his command followed him and rushed straight to where Li Yi was.
At this time, Military Advisor Qiu Jun who was staying next to Zhu Chongyuan quickly reminded: "Commander, don't be reckless in this matter. There is something fishy about the little emperor's new army!"
Zhu Chongyuan was furious. If it weren't for the fact that the man in front of him was the old man he rebelled against, he would have wanted to kill him with a knife.
He suppressed his anger, "So what?"
Qiu Jun quickly said: "Zhu Yong is unparalleled in bravery and a veteran on the battlefield. How could he be defeated by a single blow? There is definitely something wrong."
"I saw that the enemy's firearms are very sharp, the rate of fire is very fast, and the range is extremely long. If we cannot understand the enemy's strength and attack, we will suffer a big loss."
"presumptuous!"
"Jun Qiu, if it weren't for the great contribution you have made to me, I would have killed you right now!"
Zhu Chongyuan was furious and roared: "If you dare to disturb the morale of the army again, don't blame me for not remembering the old friendship!"
Things have come to this, if he doesn't make changes, he will lose this battle.
But he can't afford to lose. Losing means losing his head.
Those aristocratic families would not let them go easily.
At this moment, if he could defeat the little emperor's men with one sentence, he would still have hope of turning defeat into victory in this war.
Now, he was simply being roasted over the fire and had no choice.
However, what Zhu Chongyuan did not expect was that this time, the dragoons abandoned sharp firearms and chose a cavalry duel.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Chongyuan's heart dropped to the ground, and he couldn't help shouting: "God bless our rebel army, God bless me, Old Zhu!"
In a cavalry duel, the elite cavalry from the old battalion under his command can defeat a hundred!
Forty thousand New Army dragoons lined up in a neat formation, holding two-meter long spears high. They slowly lined up amidst the sound of whistles and drums, and rushed down in a neat formation.
Similarly, Liu Zongmu also launched a charge with great momentum, more ferocious and skillful than Zhu Yong's troops.
The two top iron cavalry in the world collided fiercely like two torrents of steel.
