Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 485 Chapter 496: Cannon blocking the way
"That's right!" Mu Erqin gritted his teeth, "Since you are going to die, then drag Tang Jun to die together, and drag more people to be your backs!"

"And that Li Hao!" Gesa also yelled angrily, "This Li Hao is simply the Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty. We must kill him. If Li Hao does not die, the Tang Dynasty will not perish!"

La Mulun on the side took a long breath and sighed: "Since you are all going to fight the Tang army to the death, then I, La Mulun, will accompany you to the end."

"Okay!" Gai Suwen suddenly slapped the table and stood up, staring loudly, "If that's the case, then tomorrow we will fight to the death with Tang Jun! Never die!"

In the early morning of the next day, tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in the barbarian camp, and Gai Suwen and others issued a strong speech on the high platform: "Brothers, everyone must know that we are all suffering from the plague, and time is running out. The land of Tang will be the place where we will be buried, but don’t forget that you are soldiers and fighters, and you should die on the battlefield, wrapped in horse leather, not on a hospital bed. Today, the commander will give you a chance to fight to the death with the Tang army. Never die!"

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death!" All the soldiers shouted loudly after hearing the words.

The barbarians have low medical skills. In their impression, the plague exists like a god of death, but smallpox rarely occurs in the northern people. This may be related to the climate, so they don't know that the fatality rate of smallpox is not so high, and they all embraced it. The will to die, if soldiers are not afraid of death, it will be an extremely terrible thing.

Gai Suwen had ignited the fighting spirit of the whole army, and then set up an attack and went straight to the city of Youzhou. Like last time, they only attacked the north gate, gathered all their forces in one place, and with the help of catapults, broke City chances are much higher.

When he saw the barbarian army leaving the camp, Li Hao also ordered the horn to be blown, and the whole city began to prepare for battle. Li Hao ordered people to spread the news that the barbarian army camp was infected with smallpox, and it was already dying. They also had high fighting spirit, vowing to fight to the death with the barbarian army.

The war here is about to break out, Li Tai is still running rampant in Lu's territory, Lu's attitude makes him feel very chilled, he is now homeless, but Lu has turned him away, where will he go, so he He started to make troubles in the Lu family's territory. Anyway, this town is full of people from the Lu family, so he sent his personal guards to smash and plunder these people's homes. When he saw a beautiful woman, he even flirted or played with him. Made a mess.

Lu Gongwang is sending someone to pack his luggage at home, and he is going to run away to escape outside the Great Wall. He has no hope for Gai Suwen and the others. If he doesn’t run away, is he waiting for the court to arrest them? But his family property is too much, There were too many things, after so many days of packing and loading hundreds of horse-drawn carriages, it still didn't feel like enough, and Li Tai was still doing mischief outside the mansion, which made Lu Gongwang very angry.

Lu Gongwang was afraid that Li Tai was carrying smallpox at first, so he didn't dare to touch him. Now that so many days had passed, and he didn't see any abnormal changes in Li Tai, he felt relieved, and sent his own dead soldiers to take Li Tai and his personal guards away. They killed them all, and then ordered everyone in the clan to pack their bags and prepare to move.

Poor Li Tai was pierced through the abdomen by a dead man's sword. Looking at the blood gurgling from his abdomen, he held on to a jujube tree beside him, trying not to let himself fall down, but his weight was too heavy , he couldn't bear it anymore, and slowly collapsed to the ground, sitting on the ground with his back against the jujube tree. He tried to cover the wound with his hands, but it didn't work. He only felt the heat from his whole body gradually disappearing. In the direction where she was, crystal tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"Father, the child is wrong, the child is really wrong." A man's words are good even when he is about to die, Li Tai finally repented at the last moment of his life. No matter the imperial power and wealth, it is not as important as living well. Unfortunately, everything has been too much. late.

Li Tai was already extremely weak. He drooped his eyelids and muttered there: "Li Hao once told me that he asked me to give up the throne and study academically, saying that I could become an academic master. In fact, I also thought I could become an academic master. Unfortunately, I I didn't listen to him, he was right, but I was wrong..."

His voice became lower and lower, almost inaudible, and finally stopped completely, and Wei Wang Li Tai fell away.

In the direction of Youzhou, the battle has already begun, and the barbarian army's offensive is very fierce. Although Li Hao gave the order to shoot and kill the enemy archers first, all the barbarian army's archers rushed to the range under the rain of arrows, and then opened their bows to fight back. Play desperately and hurt each other.

Although the Tang army's archers were covered by the city wall, the enemy's archers were more than twice as many as the Tang army's archers, so both sides suffered heavy losses.

The soldiers who attacked the city rushed forward even more desperately, fearless of death, because they had reported their mortal intentions. At this moment, the morale of the two armies was really extremely high, which could be called a peak duel.

"My lord, there are barbarians on the city wall in the east!"

"My lord, there are also barbarians on the west side of the city wall!"

The east and west sections of the city wall were in emergency at the same time, Li Hao immediately ordered: "Pour in the kerosene, use up all the kerosene!"

"Yes!" Tang Jun began to pour kerosene, threw down a torch, and a raging fire immediately ignited under the city. Although the barbarian army was not afraid of death, they were still afraid of fire. This was a human instinct, and had nothing to do with whether they were afraid of death or not.

The offensive of the barbarian army was temporarily hindered. Seeing that the fire was too strong, Gai Suwen chose to withdraw troops strategically, and the two sides began to count the battle damage.

Gai Suwen counted the battle damage, and lost 1 people. Now his army is only a little over 3.

Li Hao counted the battle damage and lost nearly 5000 people. Seeing that the army at the head of the city suffered heavy losses, he shouted loudly: "Pass my military order, and order all 500 people guarding the Wei Palace to defend against the enemy!"

"Yes!"

The king of Wei rebelled, Li Hao sent five hundred soldiers to guard the mansion of the king of Wei, and guarded all of Li Tai's family members. However, at this time, the most important thing is to guard the city. was cornered.

In the afternoon, the fire gradually extinguished, and Gai Suwen launched another fierce attack on Youzhou City, this time the attack was even more violent than in the morning, because they already felt that the Tang army was overwhelmed and victory was in sight.

At the same time, a team of more than 5000 people emerged from the forest seventy miles south of Youzhou and headed straight for Youzhou. The leaders were Feiying and Ye Mengqiu.

This is Li Hao's private army of five thousand. They came all the way from Luoyang. In order not to let the government find out, they marched day and night, and dispersed into dozens of small teams. Finally, they gathered in this mountain forest and put on armor. Bingren is ready to rush to help Youzhou, and there are only seventy miles away from Youzhou. They are light cavalry, and they can arrive in just one or two hours.

However, they had just traveled twenty miles, and on the official road between the two mountains, they suddenly saw a large number of people and horses parked in front of them, more than 2000 people. Those people on horseback were wearing black clothes and black robes, and the formation was extremely neat. At the front of the queue, stood two tall horses. The man on the left was dressed in green robes and a big hat with a black veil hanging down to cover his face. He was actually Li Hao's old enemy. Next to him was naturally his apprentice Liang Ding.

Seeing such a group of people blocking the way, Feiying and Ye Mengqiu frowned, but they didn't stop and continued to move forward. When the two sides were only one mile away, Feiying raised his hand and the whole team stopped.

Ye Mengqiu looked forward with his brows furrowed, and said solemnly, "Be careful, that man in the bamboo hat seems to be a master master, and all of these people are also very skilled in martial arts."

Feiying nodded. He knew who the bamboo hat man was. After all, he had followed Li Hao for so long, and he had seen the tricks of this mysterious bamboo hat man. He kicked the horse's belly lightly and walked forward twenty feet. Turning to the opposite side, he said loudly: "Your Excellency, what is your intention to block the way here?"

The man in the bamboo hat did not speak, and his apprentice Liang Ding spoke for him: "This road is blocked, please go back."

Feiying frowned, and said coldly: "This is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and it's not your turn to wait for Xiao Xiaojie to say it."

The man in the bamboo hat spoke, only to hear him say coldly: "We are Xiaoxiao, what about you, are you the soldiers of the imperial court?"

Feiying was speechless when he heard the words, yes, they are just like those people on the opposite side, they are all unorganized soldiers and horses, if such armed forces are known to the court, they will all be classified as rebels, in simple words, they Both sides are mice hiding in the dark, unable to see the light.

Feiying was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Please excuse me, we have something urgent."

The man in the bamboo hat said indifferently: "I know what you are going to do. I am here to wait for you. Any team rushing to help Youzhou cannot go there. I want Li Hao to die!"

Feiying narrowed his eyes when he heard the words. Since the other party had made his point clear, he didn't bother to be polite anymore, and said coldly: "I'll give you one last chance, either get out of the way! Or die!"

The man in the bamboo hat sneered: "I will also give you one last chance, either retreat or die!"

"In that case!" Feiying pulled out the Tang Dao suddenly, and shouted in a deep voice, "Kill!"

"Roar!" The people in the rear yelled one after another, and they all rushed towards the opposite side with their weapons in their hands. Even when they were charging, their formation was not chaotic at all, which shows that Li Hao's private army is extremely well-trained .

The man in the bamboo hat snorted coldly, and raised his hand suddenly, and saw their army suddenly disperse, and then a big steel guy appeared, which was dark, and the flying eagle who was charging was shocked when he saw it, it turned out to be a cannon !And the dark muzzle was aimed at them.

There was a loud "boom", and the artillery was fired from the opposite side. Almost instantly, flowers bloomed in the middle of the cavalry that was charging. The power of the cannon was earth-shattering, and it was so close that within 20 meters of the explosion range, people turned their backs.

Although the cannon's lethality is great, it is limited after all. The most terrifying thing is its deterrent power. The explosion of the cannonball made their horses all frightened, and all the horses rushed around. They couldn't control it, and the army formation was in chaos .

Although the cavalry attack is terrible, what the cavalry is most afraid of is the disordered formation. Once the cavalry formation is disordered, it is easy to trample on each other. It is like a car accident on the highway. A car accident in front will easily cause dozens of cars behind to rear-end one after another. , the fundamental reason is that the speed is too fast.

As long as two horses in the cavalry team collide and fall to the ground, hundreds of people are likely to be affected. At this moment, the five thousand cavalry led by Feiying has been disrupted by such a simple cannonball.
