Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3502 Victory and defeat
Li Yuanjing was furious!
Isn't this letting Lao Tzu's army take the place of the dead and stop the unstoppable armored cavalry for you?
He immediately said: "No way! The armored cavalry has already fallen into the formation, and the charge has slowed down. It is time for the three armies to join forces to encircle and kill! How can we let them wreak havoc and kill and just ignore it? If we wait for them to slaughter the king's army Afterwards, organize calmly, and Zuo Tunwei will not escape bad luck!"

How could Chai Zhewei do what he wanted?
Immediately said: "Your Highness is pampered, and you don't understand strategic warfare, so don't disturb the morale of the army here! If you don't have a rigorous array to hold down the armored cavalry, no matter how many soldiers you have, you can only let them be slaughtered! Please be safe, Your Highness. The soldiers have been withdrawn, and the formation will be reorganized immediately, and the entire army of these armored cavalry will be wiped out!"

If there is no accident, after this remonstrance, no matter who wins the final victory, the empire will be in turmoil for a long time.

In troubled times, there are soldiers and you are the grass head king!

If the soldiers under his hands are too damaged, let alone enter the Xuanwu Gate to help protect the new emperor and seize the central power, even self-protection will be difficult.Even if I have completely wiped out all the soldiers in my hand for Li Yuanjing at this moment, can Li Yuanjing be able to recite this credit, reward him greatly and entrust him with important tasks after he ascends the throne?
It might be possible for others, but Li Yuanjing is narrow-minded and short-sighted, and when he really can't help him, he can only be kicked away by him...

Li Yuanjing also clearly sensed the disrespect in Chai Zhewei's tone, and he suddenly said, "What Qiao Guogong said is true. You are fully responsible for the command here. This king will not say a word!"

There is no way, if Chai Zhewei gets angry and retreats directly, with the more than ten thousand royal troops under his command alone, it is absolutely impossible to capture Xuanwumen.Not only is the Xuanwu Gate out of reach, but it is extremely difficult to escape the massacre of the right guards and armored cavalry right now. If you are not careful, the entire army will be wiped out here...

Even though he was annoyed in his heart, he still had to rely heavily on Chai Zhewei, so he had to swallow his anger, but he secretly swore in his heart that when he achieved great success, he would settle everything today with Chai Zhewei in the future, and he would never stop there!

……

On the battlefield, the slaughter continued.

Equipped iron cavalry rushed into the royal army formation. The iron cavalry stomped, savagely charged, and the horse brandished. They rushed and slaughtered unscrupulously.

The royal army also tried to fight back, but the iron armor of the armored cavalry was so thick that it was difficult to damage it. Even if they were able to attack desperately and stab the cavalry with their spears into the gaps between the armor leaves, the armored cavalry would stab the cavalry horizontally with their spears every three people. Bundled and fixed, even if one person died in battle, the other two would still charge forward with him. The three horses and three warriors advanced and retreated together to fight together, which greatly increased the power and made the hurricane rush unstoppable.

Chai Zhewei looked at the armored cavalry raging on the battlefield like chopping melons and vegetables, and then looked at the soldiers under his command who had retreated a certain distance and started to reorganize the formation. The iron cavalry slaughtered their own soldiers...

However, before he could take pleasure in other's misfortune, he heard a dull roar, and his expression changed drastically!
Another cannon!

Sure enough, after a few breaths, dozens of shells landed again on the Zuo Tunwei formation that had just assembled, bursts of flames rose, and the soldiers fell one by one like wheat blown by a strong wind in the autumn field, with limbs and arms even thrown away. In the middle of the sky, the scene was extremely tragic.

Seeing that the soldiers under his command who had always been proud of him were helpless in the face of the slaughter, Chai Zhewei's eyes were tearing apart, and a naughty fear rose in his heart.

*****
On the tower of Xuanwu Gate, Zhang Shigui and Li Junxian stood side by side, looking at the bloody battlefield outside the city.

Countless Beiya Forbidden Army stood behind them in full formation, with swords against the snow, spears like forests, bows and knives unsheathed, full of murderous aura, just waiting for someone to approach Xuanwu Gate, they would come out in full force and fight bravely!

Zhang Shigui sighed softly, patted the bricks of the arrow stack with his palm, and said with emotion: "Today's battle will completely establish the status of the strongest army in the world. Sufficient left guards suddenly launched a surprise attack, but half of the right guards beat them to pieces and suffered heavy casualties?"

Although Li Junxian is now in charge of the "Hundred Cavalry Division", he is also a military commander, and his tactics are not low. Hearing Zhang Shigui's emotion, he looked at the battlefield raging in flames in the distance, nodded and said: "Use artillery to bomb long-distance, and use muskets to get closer." Defend, use armored cavalry to pursue... These tactics are almost invincible, and you will never be able to think of any way to crack them. With the combat power displayed by the Right Guards at this moment, other armies will not dare to say victory if they do not have ten times the strength .”

The crux of the problem is not how clever this trinity tactic is, but that any single link is enough to crush any army in the world.When the artillery undertakes the main task of killing the enemy, it can not only go from far to near, but also from near to far, and give the enemy a strong deterrent, supplemented by the sharp salvo of muskets and the charge of armored cavalry...

Unless it is an army with the same equipment and the same tactics against it, it will only be slaughtered.

It was still Li Jing, Duke of Wei, who had a vicious vision, and repeatedly emphasized that as long as there are right guards stationed at Xuanwu Gate, it will be as solid as gold.

Zhang Shigui said: "There are talented people from generation to generation. Fang Erlang usually looks like a dude and arrogant, but he is a genius in the sky and a stunning talent. I am afraid that as more and more firearms are equipped in the army in the future, all kinds of tactics will still be used. We will continue to innovate. We old guys who have fought for a lifetime are not able to adapt to this kind of innovation. In the future, it will be the world of you young people."

Li Junxian was about to say a few words of humility, when he saw a scout running to the bottom of the city from a distance, and was dragged up by the soldiers on the city with a hanging basket.

The scout came up to the city, quickly came to Zhang Shigui, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Commander Qi, I have made a thorough investigation. Except for the left and right guards, there are still a group of royal family kings. The army composed of slaves, bodyguards, and village households will be commanded by His Royal Highness King Jing."

Zhang Shigui looked at Li Junxian, who sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Jing has done a lot of misconduct before, and His Majesty ordered the last general to investigate strictly, but although he is sure that he has the heart of disobedience, he has been There were no traces of rebellion, so there was no severe punishment. This time, it seems that the time has come and there is no way to hide..."

At this moment, Zhang Shigui is guarding the Xuanwu Gate, and his relationship is very important. In the final analysis, King Jing is the longest prince in the clan after His Majesty Li Er, and his status is extraordinary. According to legal principles, if His Majesty Li Er has an accident, he is indeed qualified to inherit the throne. Therefore, it is necessary to explain clearly to Zhang Shigui in advance, lest he be tied up when he meets Li Yuanjing and ruin the big event.

Zhang Shigui understood Li Junxian's meaning, nodded his head and said: "Don't worry, General Li. I have been fighting all my life, and I only know how to be loyal to Your Majesty. No matter who else is, I can't shake my resolve, and I never care who I make friends with or offend. At this moment, the mission of this old man is to stick to the Xuanwu Gate, so he should be loyal to his duty and will never slack off in the slightest."

Li Junxian was a little embarrassed, cupped his fists and said, "It's the heart of a villain, the heart of a gentleman..."

"General Li doesn't need to be like this." Zhang Shigui waved his hand and said: "At this time, no matter how cautious you are, there is an old man in charge here, so I ask the general to report the current battle situation to His Royal Highness, especially the royal army and The appearance of King Jing."

The Guanlongmen faction raised troops into the city to carry out a mutiny, which had already shaken the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, but no matter how serious the consequences were, it was nothing compared to the rebellion of King Jing Li Yuanjing and the royal family.

This has directly shaken the foundation of Li Tang's royal family ruling Datang...

Li Junxian saluted and said: "Then there will be Lord Laoguo, who will come as soon as he goes!"

After saying that, he turned around and trotted with a few soldiers from the city tower to the city, and walked quickly towards the Tai Chi Hall.

Zhang Shigui watched Li Junxian walk away, looked back again, and looked at the battlefield far below the city, only to realize that after such a short time, the situation of the battle was completely different.

The Zuo Tunwei, who had just gathered to stop the formation, was bombarded by artillery again. Immediately, there were countless casualties, and the formation was scattered. Under the raging artillery, the soldiers screamed and screamed. It was the Zuo Tunwei who broke down, and even the people and horses trampled on each other, causing more casualties.

The royal army was even more irresistible in the face of the ferocious charge of the armored cavalry. They were slaughtered wantonly by these well-armed cavalry, and they only lasted for half a cup of tea before they quickly collapsed and ran in all directions.

The army was defeated like a mountain.
