Li Yi clenched the blunderbuss in his hand and pressed the last projectile in. If it didn't succeed, he would be benevolent. Anyway, I had died once a long time ago, so this time is the best!
As the sound became louder and louder, Li Yi could see clearly, and so did all the other dragoon soldiers.
The leading flag is the flag of the Gale Dynasty.
There is a word "Cao" on it!
It's Cao Fengyang!
Cao Fengyang is here.
The stone in Li Yi's heart suddenly fell to the ground, and his body couldn't help but sink, and he sat down on the ground.
Cao Fengyang also saw Li Yi clearly. He met Li Yi's sentry cavalry who had just sent out ten miles away. When he learned that Li Yi was here, he immediately rode up to see him.
A hundred steps away, he dismounted from his horse, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and then approached Li Yi, "Your Majesty, I am guilty, and I am guilty of death!"
"I put your Majesty in danger. I really deserve to die. Please punish me!"
Li Yi smiled and said, "Get up, I'm not fine. Don't worry, the old Taoist said, I'm a disaster for life. I will be a disaster for thousands of years, and I won't die."
Cao Fengyang stood up, and then looked at the dragoons lying on the ground in surprise. Seeing that all of these dragoons had damaged armor and were injured, he felt a little confused for a moment.
"Your Majesty, aren't you guarding Tongguan? Why are you here? Tongguan is no less than a hundred miles away from here? Could it be Tongguan..."
At this time, the guard on the side hurriedly explained, "Back to Governor Cao, last night, your Majesty personally led a thousand dragon cavalry to attack the camp of the bandits' front army, killing 100,000 bandits and hundreds of thousands of refugees. Just now, the bandits' central army was defeated. Thousands of people were on cavalry, and several generals were beheaded in formation. Even the leader of the bandits, Zhu Chongyuan, was wounded by his majesty's shot, and the large banner was also shattered."
After hearing these words, Cao Fengyang was completely stunned, and the generals on the left and right looked dull.
One thousand to one hundred thousand, killing several enemy generals and injuring the enemy commander?
What an achievement is this?
What an honor?
Looking at the long history, only Zhao Zilong, who has seven entrances and seven exits from Changbanpo, can have such power, right?
Looking at them again, it took 30,000 cavalry to defeat 100,000 bandits, and allowed the bandit general Liu Zongmu to escape. Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to claim credit from His Majesty, but now I feel embarrassed to say it out loud.
Li Yi suddenly asked: "Why did you come here with your troops?"
"Didn't I tell you that I want you to play it safe and steady?"
Cao Fengyang smiled awkwardly and quickly explained: "I am chasing Liu Zongmu, and I don't know why I ended up here."
"Chasing Liu Zongmu, isn't he the most powerful bandit?" Li Yi also looked surprised.
Cao Fengyang then told everything about his night attack last night, how he lured Liu Zongmu into being fooled, and how he defeated Liu Zongmu's troops in one fell swoop.
Hearing Li Yi nod his head repeatedly, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he was really lucky last night!
No wonder the elite of the bandits’ old battalion didn’t dispatch at all last night. It was just the ordinary infantry who resisted step by step, and finally the elite of the Chinese army dispatched.
If Cao Fengyang hadn't led a night attack on the bandits' rear camp and lured out the elite of the bandits' old camp, all of his thousand dragon cavalry would have been killed by now.
Subsequently.
Cao Fengyang asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, in your opinion, how should we deal with the bandits now? I feel that this old dog Zhu Chongyuan will not let it go after suffering such a big loss."
Li Yi pondered: "Yes, with Zhu's character, this must be the case, but now that Zhu has been defeated by us, he will definitely not dare to fight with our army in the field for the time being, but he will definitely attack Tongguan and want to take advantage of it." Go down to Tongguan and open up the way back to the land of the Three Qin Dynasties. As long as Tongguan is recaptured, he can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and he will be in an invincible position."
"I am not worried about the old thieves fighting with us now, but I am worried that the old thieves will attack Tongguan without their lives."
Cao Fengyang nodded. He had brought two thousand cavalry to attack Tongguan. Now he brought out another thousand people, leaving only one thousand people in the city.
It is simply unimaginable that a thousand people guard Tongguan and resist the attack of hundreds of thousands of bandits.
"Who is guarding Tongguan?" Cao Fengyang asked, "Isn't it General Suoyi?"
Li Yi nodded, "Other than him, who else? Originally, I planned to send him to attack the bandits on the grain road. Unexpectedly, after I left the city to attack the bandits at night, I could not go back. Instead, I asked him to guard Tongguan."
"One thousand people resisted the hundreds of thousands of bandits who were returning home like arrows. What do you think of the result?"
Cao Fengyang frowned and asked: "Your Majesty, I'm asking for a fight. There are 30,000 new army cavalry behind me, which is enough to tear apart the bandits' camp, rush into Tongguan, and support General Suoyi."
Li Yi smiled bitterly, "It's not that easy anymore. Zhu Chongyuan is not an ordinary person. This man is versatile in both civil and military affairs and has a deep city. From a poor commoner to a overlord who shocked the Gale Dynasty, he is by no means a good person."
"The reason why we have taken advantage of these battles is entirely due to Zhu Chongyuan's underestimation of the enemy. We took an advantage and had sharp firearms. After these several sneak attacks, Zhu Chongyuan must have been prepared and even set up an ambush, waiting for us to get in. trap."
"And I guess that Zhu Chongyuan will never attack Tongguan for the time being. Tongguan City is high and the pond is deep, and the soldiers will suffer great losses. I guess that he will deliberately expose his flaws to lure us into a sneak attack, and then the army will press forward and surround us in one fell swoop. To avenge the two previous sneak attacks."
Cao Fengyang was shocked and stood up suddenly, his face turned pale instantly, "Your Majesty, no... it's not good!"
It was also the first time that Li Yi saw Cao Fengyang losing his composure. He immediately felt bad and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
Plop!
Cao Fengyang knelt on the ground, "I have ordered the two generals Su Changyu and Guo Polu to pursue Liu Zongmu's troops. I am afraid that they have chased them to the bandit camp. If it is true as your Majesty said, the two generals may have been deeply surrounded. !”
"What!"
Li Yi was also shocked. He kept thinking about countermeasures in his mind, and then snorted coldly, "If that's the case, then I will take advantage of it!"
"Your Majesty, please tell me!" Cao Fengyang's eyes lit up.
Li Yi's thin lips curled up slightly, "I will defeat ten groups with one force!"
"Ah!" Cao Fengyang looked surprised, not knowing why, and the other generals also looked at each other.
Li Yi was too lazy to care about them and immediately ordered, "Pass on my will, Yuan Jianfan's troops will immediately lead the infantry of the new army and move to Tongguan desperately. I must be quick and use all available tools, carriages, donkey carts, mules, etc." Wait, meet up in two hours."
"I will decide in one battle and destroy Zhu Chongyuan!"
now.
The outskirts of the bandit camp.
The two generals Su Changyu and Guo Polu were observing the movements of the bandit camp.
In their eyes, the bandits' camp was littered with corpses, countless wounded soldiers, and screams could not be heard without end. There were not even a few tents in the camp, and all the bandits were lying outside.
As for the periphery, there are not even the most basic trench antlers. It is like a girl who has taken off her clothes and keeps teasing you.
Su Changyu and Guo Polu combined their forces. What are you waiting for? They must go in. It is best to capture Zhu Chongyuan alive.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the new army, from top to bottom, exuded an "invincible" spirit.
In their eyes, even the King of Heaven and I are not easy to control. At worst, we will all perish together.
It’s this “energy!”
Su Changyu and Guo Polu each led five thousand cavalry on the left and right to attack the bandit camp.
The New Army cavalry roared, and the fireguns in their hands erupted with streams of flames, killing them wantonly.
"Something's wrong!"
"Something is very wrong!"
Su Changyu and Guo Polu sensed something was wrong as soon as they rushed into the bandit camp.
so easy!
It shouldn't be so easy!
The bandits have experienced several major defeats. Although they have lost many troops, they still have more than 100,000 elite soldiers and horses. How could they be defeated so easily?
In the previous few sneak attacks, although they rushed into the bandit camp immediately, the bandits immediately sent out a signal, and the large group of bandit cavalry quickly assembled to counterattack.
But today is really weird. Why is there no movement of counterattack? Are they all dead or have they run away?
at the same time.
On a high slope to the west of the camp, Zhu Chongyuan was sitting on a wooden cart, with a wicked smile on his face that showed he had succeeded in his treacherous plot, and he looked rarely happy.
Qiu Jun, Liu Zongmu and other core generals sat in a circle, all showing admiration.
"A handsome man is a handsome man, he is really tall, he is really tall!"
"That's right, Li Yixiao'er was lucky enough to win a few games and felt that he was invincible. This battle will definitely wipe out his entire army!"
"Hahaha, the commander-in-chief has a clever plan. Even if Mr. Zhuge comes, it will be nothing more than this!"
"..."
Zhu Chongyuan was very pleased with the generals' flattery, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Liu Zongmu, Li Yi will definitely come in this battle. When Li Yi arrives, it will be your time to go to war. Remember, you must keep Li Yi no matter what. The lives of thousands of our rebel soldiers are all at stake here." war!"
"No!" Liu Zongmu quickly fell to his knees.
For the first time, Zhu Chongyuan was so generous. He handed over the remaining 5,000 elite cavalry of the Chinese army, plus more than 10,000 elite veterans of the old battalion brought back by Liu Zongmu, to Liu Zongmu, completing his achievements in one battle!
Su Changyu felt something was wrong and immediately shouted: "No, the situation is not right. Send an order to retreat to both wings!"
Guo Polu on the other side also felt something bad, and immediately ordered the new army cavalry to seize the high ground and prepare for the next battle.
But suddenly there was a burst of war drums all around, mixed with the unique banging of clappers in the Sanqin land.
Following this, countless bandits and soldiers who had been waiting for them emerged from all directions.
This time, Zhu Chongyuan also spent a lot of money and mobilized 20,000 crossbowmen from all branches of the army, as well as the disabled firearms battalion, to surround Su Changyu and Guo Polu in the middle area.
Following the order, arrows rained down, iron pellets flew, and they started to kill Su Changyu and Guo Polu head-on.
"Retreat, get out!"
Su Changyu let out an angry roar, and the bastard Zhu Chongyuan was ambushed by him.
But it's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out!
