Chapter 476

Facing Li Huan's eyes, both Xu Wu and Feng Tai's hearts sank. The murderous intent shown by Li Huan just now was too terrifying. There is some pity in life.

With the power of Jin Yiwei, those who have colluded with King Ning will probably be found out by Jin Yiwei, and the fate of these people can be imagined.

Without the slightest hesitation, the two nodded at Li Huan and said, "Don't worry, the champion, I will help the champion find these traitors one by one."

Li Huan nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Xu Yu and said: "The defense of Nanjing City will be handed over to the old man!"

A flash of light flashed in Xu Yu's eyes and he nodded heavily: "As long as I still have breath, the city of Nanjing will not be lost!"

The rebel camp of King Chengning in Nanjing.

Surrounded by a group of people, King Ning looked at the mountain of grain and fodder and the continuous reinforcements entering the camp in the camp.

King Ning's face was filled with joy. With soldiers and food, he did not believe that he would not be able to take Nanjing City.

Obviously, King Ning, who had been assisted by a large number of local tyrants, suddenly saw the hope of breaking through Nanjing City.

Li Shishi, who was following King Ning, noticed the smile on King Ning's face and said with a smile: "With this 20 army, it's just a mere city of Nanjing, and it will eventually belong to the prince."

King Ning couldn't help laughing, looked around the crowd and said: "Everyone, if you can break the city of Nanjing this time, I will give you a reward!"

Apparently King Ning himself knew that the reason why these people chose to support him was for their own interests.

Anyway, it's just a sentence, as long as Nanjing City is captured, isn't he afraid that he won't be able to reward everyone!
"My lord is wise, my lord is wise!"

Amid the compliments from the crowd, King Ning shouted to a general beside him: "Yang Dai!"

Hearing the sound, Yang Dai in armor immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "The general has seen the prince!"

King Ning stared at Yang Dai and said, "This king ordered you to lead an army of [-] to attack the city tomorrow. Would you like it?"

Yang Dai was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted, with a look of surprise on his face.

Everyone knows that among the generals under King Ning, the ones King Ning trusts most are Wang Lun and Yang Qing. He, Yang Dai, is not even in the top three.

Originally thought that King Ning would send Wang Lun or Yang Qing to attack Nanjing City this time, but unexpectedly, this time King Ning chose Yang Lun instead of Wang Lun and Yang Qing. generation.

Under the slightly surprised gazes of the crowd, Yang Daidang respectfully bowed down to King Ning and said, "The final general will definitely live up to the prince's expectations. If you don't break through the city of Nanjing, the final general is willing to come and see you!"

Wang Lun and Yang Qing, who were standing beside King Ning, were expressionless. Although they couldn't see any changes in their expressions, any fool would know that King Ning left them alone, but chose Yang Dai, that's a kind of disapproval of their abilities. It would be strange if the two of them didn't have any thoughts in their hearts.

King Ning laughed and stepped forward to help Yang Dai up, patted Yang Dai's shoulder with his big hand, and then said to Wang Lun and Yang Qing beside him: "General Wang, General Yang, this king The reason why General Yang Dai was asked to attack Nanjing City was because there was a more important matter for the two generals to do."

Wang Lun and Yang Qing hurriedly said with a look of sincerity and fear: "My lord is really a shameful minister, if there is anything, just ask my lord."

King Ning looked at the two and said slowly: "According to reliable news, if there are no accidents, the army sent by the imperial court will arrive tomorrow. This support army is called an elite division. It was only with this general that he came out in person that he was able to stop this support army for the lonely king."

Although it is a great achievement to successfully resist the reinforcements, but all fools know that no matter how great the contribution is, it cannot be compared with the attack on Nanjing City.

If the two were to be chosen, they would definitely not choose to resist the imperial reinforcements, but would choose to attack Nanjing City.

But facing King Ning's order at this moment, the two secretly glanced at each other, and then secretly glanced at Yang Dai who was at the side. A trace of jealousy flashed in the depths of their eyes, and they all bowed down to King Ning Said: "The last general takes orders."

Wang Jia, Li Shishi, Liu Yangzheng and others on the side saw this scene in their eyes, and they all showed a little smile.

In the early morning of the second day, the mighty rebel army left the camp and divided into two groups. One was led by Yang Dai and rushed to Nanjing City, and the other was led by Wang Lun and Yang Qing to fight against the imperial court. rebel army.

At the same time, Li Huan, who gathered the army overnight, took over the army.

The tens of thousands of elite troops marched for a long time, but they did not show fatigue at all. On the one hand, it was because these soldiers and horses were all carefully selected elites. On the other hand, it was also because the marching speed of the army was not fast, and the soldiers were not tired.

At this time, tens of thousands of troops lined up in an army formation, and at a glance, there were many banners and flags, and the armor was neat, and the immovable momentum rushed towards us. Anyone who is not a fool can tell at a glance that this is definitely an elite army. .

When Wang Lun, Yang Qing and others led the majority of the rebel army to face Li Huan's troops far away, their complexions changed, and their faces showed solemn expressions.

At any rate, the two of them are also members of the army. Although they are taller than dwarfs under King Ning's command, even so, if they have no ability at all, it is impossible for them to be valued by King Ning.

So the two of them looked at the immovable imperial army, and then at the noisy and chaotic army behind them, which looked like a market, and they could tell at a glance which one was stronger and which was weaker.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Qing couldn't help but smiled wryly and said to Wang Lun, "Brother Wang, this errand is not easy!"

Looking at the imperial army, Wang Lun gritted his teeth and said, "If it's not easy to do, you have to do it. Either block the imperial army and buy enough time for the prince to take Nanjing City. At that time, you and I will be ministers of the dragon. If you fail, you The two of us will be rebellious officials and traitors, and at that time it will be light to steal the family and destroy the clan."

Yang Qing's heart tightened when he heard the words, and he swallowed subconsciously. He used to be just a thief who turned into a bandit. Later, he was accepted by King Ning as his subordinate. He has been secretly recruiting soldiers for King Ning all these years, and he considers himself King Ning's confidant.

Even if a confidant like him wanted to surrender to the imperial court, the imperial court would not accept it, so as Wang Lun said, they had no other way to go, they could only go to the dark with King Ning. , Either one person will ascend to heaven, or the whole family will ascend to heaven together.

The total number of armies on both sides was 10,000+, and a murderous atmosphere gradually spread, even the chaotic rebel army seemed to be affected by the aura of the imperial army, and gradually calmed down.

But if you observe carefully, you can notice that these rebels are looking at the neat court army opposite, showing some faint fear.

This is normal, not to mention that before these rebels became rebels, they might have been powerful local tenants, just farmers, who might not even dare to kill chickens. Well, it would be a strange thing if these people behaved more like an army than the imperial army.

Another point is that the identities of these rebels doomed them to bow their heads psychologically when they faced the soldiers and horses representing the orthodox court.

Rebel generals such as Wang Lun and Yang Qing obviously also noticed the change in the morale of their soldiers.

Even without any experience in commanding troops, Wang Lun and the others also knew that if the soldiers under their command had no fighting spirit and low morale, they would probably collapse when the imperial army launched an attack.

Seeing Wang Lun riding his horse in front of the formation, he shouted loudly at the crowd: "Soldiers, the prince has an order to kill the enemy today, and whoever takes one's head will reward 20 taels of silver and two stones of rice!"

The group of rebels heard clearly. After Wang Lun's words fell, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then realized that excitement flashed in their eyes.

A soldier looked at Wang Lun subconsciously and said, "The general is not lying to us, is he?"

They stared at Wang Lun with burning eyes.

Wang Lun laughed loudly and said, "Since I dare to say this in front of the soldiers of the three armies, I will naturally not deceive them. Isn't this general afraid that the big guy will kill me?"

Hearing what Wang Lun said, everyone nodded their heads, and couldn't help cheering loudly: "Long live the prince, long live the prince!"

Looking at the morale of the soldiers under his command, Wang Lun couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief: "It is said that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. The three armies are desperate. Wang wants to see how he, Li Huan, can defeat our army."

Wang Lun, who was so confident, looked at the imperial army opposite him with high spirits.

Li Huan and other generals were also watching the movement of the rebels from a distance at the moment, and the scene of Wang Lun offering rewards to boost morale was naturally in the eyes of Li Huan and the others.

Seeing the obvious changes in the morale of the rebel army on the opposite side, neither Li Huan nor Zhang Huai, Xu Ying, Chen Ang and others looked calm, as if they were not affected in the slightest.

Zhang Huai said with a bit of disdain: "It is said that Wang Lun is the number one general under King Ning. It is really disappointing to see him today, and this is all he has to do."

Speaking of which, Zhang Huai asked Li Huan for orders: "General, the last general begs for orders, and is willing to go to the vanguard and annihilate the rebels!"

Seeing that Zhang Huai asked to be the vanguard, Chen Ang, Xu Ying and other generals also reacted, and Qi Qi asked Li Huan for orders.

Li Huan glanced over the generals around him. Dozens of generals were fighting with high spirits. Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "This general knows that you are eager to make contributions, and the mere rebel army wants to resist the imperial court's heavenly soldiers. It's really beyond their control." .”

While speaking, Li Huan said in a deep voice, "Zhang Huai listens to the order!"

As soon as his eyes lit up, Zhang Huai immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists, "The end is here!"

Looking at Zhang Huai, Li Huan said: "I order you to lead three thousand elite cavalry to rush into the rebel army for this general after the artillery salvo, and severely disrupt the rebel army formation for me."

Zhang Huai said excitedly: "The last general takes orders!"

Watching Zhang Huai retreat, Chen Ang, Xu Ying and other generals also looked at Li Huan expectantly.

But at this moment Li Huan said to one of the generals: "Zhu Liang listens to the order."

Zhu Liang, who was born in the Duke of Cheng's mansion, can definitely be regarded as the leader of the generation in the Duke of Cheng's mansion. When it comes to seniority, Zhu Lin still calls him a brother.

At this moment, Zhu Liang walked out with a solemn expression, bowed respectfully to Li Huan and said, "The end is here!"

Li Huan looked at Zhu Liang and said, "Zhu Liang, I order you to take charge of the firearms battalion. Three hundred cannons of all sizes will be bombarded fiercely by this general. You must blast the rebel formation as soon as possible."

This time out of Beijing, Li Huan brought a large number of cannons. These cannons are different from the previous cannons. They were all improved and cast by skilled craftsmen drawn by Li Huan himself. At least it has increased by several percent.

Following Li Huan's arrangements one by one, the generals of each member took their orders and left, and soon the tens of thousands of elite troops began to slowly change.

Although Wang Lun, Yang Qing and other rebels on the opposite side said they had an advantage in numbers, they did not dare to take the initiative to attack when facing the elite army of the imperial court, but put on a posture of defense with all their strength.

Li Huan was riding on a horse, surrounded by a group of soldiers, and behind him, the banner of the commander fluttered in the air, fluttering in the wind, very eye-catching.

Accompanied by a burst of shouts, a huge cannon was slowly being pushed to the front of the army under the efforts of thousands of soldiers, but the movement was not small at all.

At least hundreds of artillery pieces, large and small, were facing the direction of the rebel formation ahead.

Wang Lun, Yang Qing and other rebel generals on the opposite side had already noticed when there was any movement from the imperial army. When they saw the artillery that was pulled out from the door, everyone changed their colors in unison.

They are very clear about the power of the artillery. Seeing that the imperial army has put out the artillery, even if there are rebel generals who propose to Wang Lun and Yang Qing to attack the imperial army immediately, they must not let the imperial army set up the artillery. .

Wang Lun, Yang Qing and the others were obviously not stupid, and they also knew that they could not just sit back and watch the imperial army set up the artillery, even if tens of thousands of rebels were sent to attack.

Now that they saw the artillery of the imperial army, even Wang Lun and the others had no choice but to launch an active attack no matter how much they wanted to defend.

Under the leadership of the rebel generals, the rebel army, whose morale had been boosted by gold and silver, rushed towards the imperial court army screaming. At a glance, it was dark and dense, and there was no formation at all, just like having fun.

Seeing this situation, Chen Ang, who had already received the order, let out a long roar, and immediately raised his spear and shouted: "All soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy."

Immediately, a group of cavalry roared out. This cavalry was prepared by Li Huan early on, and the defense was that the rebels would make a surprise attack when the firearm battalion was not ready.

Thousands of cavalry ran up, billowing smoke and dust, shaking the ground, accompanied by shouts, the momentum was extremely frightening, and the rebels on the opposite side had never seen such a scene before, and they were immediately suppressed.
