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

Chapter 713: The Qing Army's sneak attack failed
“Bang bang!!”

Dense musketry and crossbow arrows shot and killed Wu Liuqi and many Qing soldiers. They had no way to escape and fell in a pool of blood.

At this moment, Wu Liuqi finally realized that he was wrong.

I originally thought that Li Zheng had few guards around him and that my own 20,000 troops would be more than enough, but who knew that the other side actually hid such an elite army.

Wu Liuqi was disheartened but unwilling to accept defeat. He waved his spear vigorously and fought back desperately.

However, Song Sheng's strength is too strong. Can he stop Song Sheng alone?
"puff"

Wu Liuqi was chopped to the ground.

"Retreat, retreat!"

His confidants shouted in panic.

In this situation, staying would only lead to death.

"Kill them all."

Song Sheng's expression was cold. He swung his sword to kill the Qing army and ordered, "Kill them all!"

The Tang army followed Song Sheng and started to chase him.

Wu Liuqi's subordinates suffered heavy losses, with only seven or eight thousand people left. When they saw the Tang army chasing them relentlessly, they were so frightened that they dared not fight back.

"General, please save us. I don't want to die!"

The wailing of the Qing soldiers was even drowned out by the sound of artillery fire, but the wailing of the soldiers under Wu Liuqi was extremely clear to Wu Liuqi.

However, at this moment, the crossbow arrows of the Tang army shot over and turned him into a hedgehog.

"Kill all the Qing troops."

Song Sheng's eyes were cold, and he stared at Wu Liuqi as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Shhhhhh!"

Countless Tang troops rushed towards Wu Liuqi, wanting to encircle and suppress him.

Wu Liuqi's face turned pale, he knew he was finished.

I have been a soldier all my life, and I have never felt as desperate as I do today.

"kill!"

Before he died, Wu Liuqi shouted angrily.

He drew his sword and slashed at Song Sheng fiercely.

However, his fighting ability is not good enough.

Song Sheng dodged easily and stepped on his shoulder: "You are not worthy of being a general because you have no backbone."

"I want you to experience what despair is."

Before he finished his words, the Embroidered Spring Knife in Song Sheng's hand pierced into Wu Liuqi's chest like lightning.

"puff"

Wu Liuqi's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Song Sheng would actually kill him.

There was a hint of arrogance between Song Sheng's brows.

It was seen that the Qing army was retreating step by step and was in disarray.

"Kill."

The Tang army also pursued madly, not giving the enemy a chance to breathe.

"Bah, bah, bah"

"Click"

The Tang army shot and killed the Qing army with spears.

They were like a swarm of locusts, sweeping away everything around them.

"kill!"

A Jinyiwei shouted: "Kill."

"Kill."

At this moment, the Tang army was like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves, slaughtering the enemy at will.

After the Tang army stopped attacking, they looked up at the smoke-filled surroundings and suddenly howled excitedly.

"What a great victory!"

"happy!"

Song Sheng knelt in front of Li Zheng, covered in blood. "Your Majesty, the thieves have been slaughtered, and no one has been let go."

"My dear, you have suffered a lot."

Li Zheng patted his shoulder with admiration and said, "Pass on my decree to appoint you as the commander-in-chief."

This is a lucrative job!

Song Sheng was overjoyed and immediately thanked the emperor for his grace. At this moment, several figures suddenly rushed over. They turned out to be the brothers Liu Sheng and Liu Lin who were fighting on the front line. Even Hou Junji came over.

"Your Majesty, I heard that a Qing army just raided here. Are you okay?"

Liu Sheng had several glaring wounds on his body.

It’s no wonder they are so nervous. If anything happens to Li Zheng, the Tang Dynasty will be finished.

Li Zheng waved his hand: "I'm fine. Fortunately, the Jinyiwei discovered the enemy in time, otherwise it would be dangerous."

"Yes, this enemy army is very cunning. They attacked in the dark. If it weren't for the Jinyiwei's quick reaction, I'm afraid we would have been killed."

Li Kan said in a deep voice, "These thieves are simply crazy and cruel."

"Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to punish me. I was careless and caused the loss of the camp. Please punish me."

Li Kan knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"That's all."

Li Zheng shook his head: "You are also worried about my safety, what crime have you committed?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Kan breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Your Majesty, the enemy has been defeated. Let's take advantage of the victory and pursue them."

"Ah."

Li Zheng nodded and prepared to lead the troops in pursuit.

At this time, Song Sheng said: "Your Majesty, I request to join the army to fight."

"Do you want to fight the enemy?" Li Zheng asked.

Song Sheng said firmly: "I am willing to serve the country."

Li Zheng was touched by his words, but he was not prepared to agree.

"Song Sheng, how dare you speak so arrogantly? If His Majesty is in danger, I will not forgive you."

Liu Sheng pointed at Song Sheng and cursed him. Although his words were very harsh, he was still worried about Li Zheng.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. I'm fine, right? You guys go back to your own battle formations. How can we give up when the offensive is just starting to gain momentum?"

Li Zheng smiled and gave some advice, asked everyone to disperse, and then took Song Sheng towards the battlefield.

"Boom"

Another artillery shell hit the ground, instantly blowing several enemy soldiers flying.

"charge!"

An angry roar resounded through the sky, and a large number of soldiers roared into the battlefield and began to reap the lives of the Qing army.

At this time, Song Sheng was standing on the top of the hill, quietly observing the movements of the enemy.

He looked at it for a while and then frowned.

The Qing army's formation was in disarray, as if it had been organized in a hurry and was disorganized.

What’s more important is that they have no cavalry.

Song Sheng looked puzzled when he saw this.

Logically speaking, the enemy has cavalry, so why wouldn't they send them out?

"Boom"

There was a sudden explosion on the distant hillside.

Song Sheng quickly lay on the ground.

This time, Wei Li smiled a lot.

But Song Sheng was still so frightened that cold sweats ran down his face. He secretly thought that he was lucky, "No wonder the enemy has no cavalry. It turns out that such bastards dare not come."

"We're sure to win this time."

Song Sheng was very excited.

In this world, apart from gunpowder, the most powerful feature of other thermal weapons is their enormous power.

Especially here, one shell is enough to burn down an entire block of houses, and the destructive power it causes is extremely terrifying.

In comparison, the Qing army was not so relaxed.

Sony listened to the battle reports from his men, all of which reported defeat. Five hundred thousand soldiers were defending the capital, but three hundred thousand were lost in just one day?
Not only were there piles of corpses outside the city, but the capital city also needed to constantly clear the bodies in order to place large weapons such as artillery and catapults. However, the terrifying thing was that the bodies could never be cleared away.

No sooner had the cartloads of corpses been transported away than the Tang army could add hundreds of new corpses with a single shot from their Shenwu cannon.

What's even more terrifying is that because their own men attempted to attack Li Zheng but failed, the Tang army officers and soldiers became infuriated and each of them became extremely ferocious.

Looking at the enemy army, due to lack of training, they have no way to fight the other side head-on.

More importantly, the infantrymen on the opposite side also became extremely brutal.
