I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 701: Defeating the Main Force of the Eight Banners Army

"Report, Lord Zhongtang, the Tang army has given up the pursuit."

Abahai was still in shock, and as he watched the Tang army retreat in an orderly manner, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Su Dingfang held a sword in his hand, and behind him were a thousand powerful cannons, all of which were loaded with ammunition, although they could not be fully deployed due to time constraints.

But it is more than enough to deal with the defeated Tartar army.

"Your Majesty has ordered us to fire!"

The messenger shouted in the battle formation.

Su Dingfang immediately drew his sword towards the Tartar and said, "Fire!"

In an instant, pitch-black shells whizzed out and fell into the Tatar camp, causing a bloody storm.

"Ahhh-"

Screams and wails were heard one after another. Some enemy soldiers who had managed to escape the shelling jumped into the river and the bushes in an attempt to hide.

However, the Tang army had already anticipated this and had a team of elite soldiers lurking on both sides and around the river.

When the Tartars jumped into the water, this team of elite soldiers also jumped out.

These people were holding spears and shields, and they specifically stabbed the Tatars who fell into the water.

Puff puff…

Countless flowers of blood spurted out, and the Tatar who fell into the water was stabbed all over by the Tang army and died on the spot.

On the shore, the Tang army was not idle either. They used grenades to ignite explosive packs and threw them at the Tatar cavalry while shooting wildly.

A grenade flew behind the Tatar cavalry.

"Bah!"

The huge power generated by the sudden explosion of the grenade actually killed thirty to fifty Tatar cavalrymen.

"Quick, protect Ao Zhongtang!"

Upon seeing this, Obian's face changed drastically and he quickly turned around the dock, trying to escape.

And among the Tartar cavalry, there was also a group of people who bravely rushed towards Oboi.

These people were Aobai's guards, and their strength was much stronger than that of ordinary cavalry.

When these people saw that Oboi was trying to escape, they immediately sped up and approached him.

"Quickly stop Aobai."

The Tang army commander noticed what Aobai was doing and gave orders hastily.

Unfortunately, the number of Tang cavalry was too small to stop Aobai at all. They could only watch him escape by crossing the Tang cavalry blockade.

The guards took the opportunity to escort King Oboi to escape to the southeast.

Aobai, the big cardboard box man, rushed all the way north, but still did not dare to stop.

After all, Aobai knew his situation. Now the entire rear was in chaos, and he had to find reinforcements as soon as possible.

However, what he didn't know was that his retreat had been blocked.

The Tang cavalry quickly surrounded him.

"Aobai, you can't get away from that."

Li Zheng looked coldly at Aobai in front of him and slowly drew out the sword from his waist.

When Aobai saw Li Zheng and others blocking his way, he closed his eyes in despair and sighed, "Alas, I, Aobai, have been in the martial arts world for decades, but I fell into the hands of a kid like you."

"If it weren't for my negligence, it wouldn't have ended there. Never mind, I won't live long anyway."

Li Zheng's heart moved when he heard this.

It seems that what Oboi said means that he has accepted his fate.

Li Zheng hurriedly said, "I wonder if you have any last words?" Aobai took a deep breath and said, "The fate of the Qing Dynasty was ruined by me. I feel uneasy. If God gives me another chance, I will definitely take your head."

As soon as he said this, Liu Sheng kicked him with a whip, and then raised his knife to teach Aobai a lesson.

But he was still warned by Li Zheng's eyes: "Liu Sheng, don't be anxious, I still have something to say to him."

Liu Sheng took back his sword and held it tightly. If Aobai dared to play any tricks, he would kill him immediately. Not only him, but Liu Lin and Su Dingfang were also paying attention to this place.

"Aobai, you seem dissatisfied?"

Li Zheng smiled, but the aura he exuded made Oboi speechless.

"Of course. If I hadn't fallen into your ambush, I would have been able to defeat you!"

Oboi gnashed his teeth and said, "My Great Qing is a rich country with a strong people and a large number of soldiers and horses. How can you Han people be a match for my Great Qing?"

"Haha...Aobai, you should say this to me. My Tang Dynasty is rich and my people are strong, and my soldiers are brave and good at fighting."

Aobai was stunned. "This is impossible. How can an emperor like you know how to lead an army?"

"Humph, Aobai, you don't need to understand so much. You just need to know that if you lose, the so-called Qing Dynasty will also be doomed."

Li Zheng glanced at Aobai with contempt, and then said: "Go, take your soldiers away, but leave the weapons and horses behind."

"Your Majesty, this..."

Su Dingfang frowned slightly, but Li Zheng waved his hand, signaling him not to interrupt.

"Well, you'd better keep your promise. But my troops are all outside the city. What can you offer in exchange?"

Oboi wanted to argue a few words, but his troops had suffered heavy losses and he had lost his confidence.

Li Zheng smiled and said, "It won't take long for me to wipe out all your troops. I will give you one more chance to see who is more powerful."

Aobai snorted coldly, waved his hand and left, walking with him to the 20,000 naked Tatars. Although they were the elite among the elite, after this battle, they were watched by the people and soldiers of Fengtian City, and their fighting spirit had been shattered.

"Soldiers, victory belongs to us."

Li Zheng raised his arms and roared, then led his soldiers into Fengtian City.

At this time, the defenders of Fengtian City had already been defeated and could not resist the attack of the Tang Army at all, and were quickly wiped out.

The Tang army occupied Fengtian City and captured Aobai's 20,000 troops.

"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty."

Su Dingfang and all the soldiers knelt on the ground to congratulate him.

At this time, Li Zheng was very interested. "My dear ministers, please get up quickly. I have captured Fengtian City today, thanks to the bloody battles of all the soldiers. I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Hearing what Li Zheng said, the soldiers immediately cheered.

"Thank you for your grace, my king."

In this battle, the Tang army suffered about five to six hundred casualties. Although Li Zheng felt sad about the death of one, he was still satisfied overall.

After all, most of these hundreds of people were lightly injured, with only a few seriously injured or killed in battle, while he himself killed nearly 30,000 Tatars.

After all, the casualty ratio reached 1:60.

Li Zheng looked around and said, "All units should hurry up and make repairs. We will seize the city gates tomorrow and we must go all out."

The Tatars of this era were not only poorly equipped but also lacked training, so they seemed defenseless when facing the Tang Dynasty's cavalry.

Unexpectedly, in history, in the early Qing Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Army was very strong.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Army became extremely weak later on, otherwise it would not have been defeated by the Eight-Nation Alliance and forced to retreat.

But unfortunately, the current Eight Banners Army is not even second-rate.

Li Zheng's goal was to completely defeat the Eight Banners Army's combat effectiveness, rather than simply annihilate it, and this was not something that could be accomplished in the short term.

The next morning, the Tang army set out in a mighty force.
