Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 651 Finally, we've been waiting for you~
This eastward retreat completely disrupted everyone's plans and drained Yang Ying of her life force.

Of course, Liu Bilie had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it, because if he didn't arrive by tomorrow, the Wei army would really enter Handan City, and once they entered the city, the cavalry would besiege it.

Emperor Jingtai was gazing at the stars when he heard a noise behind him. He turned around and said, “General Shan, I used to think that war was about advancing and retreating, and that I would devise an unpredictable strategy to rout the world. But you told me that anything can happen on the battlefield and that we can only adapt to the situation. I used to have some doubts, but now it is true that you can’t predict anything.”

"Your Majesty, we will probably see the barbarian cavalry you have been longing for first thing tomorrow morning."

"really?"

“Really?” Shan Xiongxin laughed. “Your Majesty, Handan is now an empty city to you. They will definitely try to stop our army before they enter the city, so they will surely make their way in on this snowy night.”

"I see."

That night, Emperor Jingtai was like a schoolboy going on a field trip the next morning, so nervous and excited that he didn't sleep well. He was both looking forward to the next day and worried that someone might cause trouble...

But no matter how anxious I was, the next day still had to come.

Emperor Jingtai got up very early. It was still dark, but he could already see the Shenji Battalion hoisting shells into the giant cannons, while the rest of the soldiers were cleaning their weapons. The logistics team was moving back and forth in the midst of the battle, delivering hot meals to each soldier.

Emperor Jingtai also took a bowl, leaning against a bend in the road where he was sheltered from the wind and snow. He held a bowl of meat porridge and a meat and vegetable bun in his hand, occasionally peeking out to look outside.

"Are they arriving today?"

"The battle report from the front is almost here, and they should have rested by now," the junior officer beside him immediately replied. "But Your Majesty need not worry, we learned how to fight cavalry when we were in Fuliang."

"Yes, I'll be counting on you guys later."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Emperor Jingtai wrinkled his nose, took a deep breath, and looked up at a distant scene. Although he couldn't see what was in that misty world, he could still vaguely smell horse manure.

It might be psychological... but it really does smell like horse manure.

Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually brightened. When visibility was good, the lookout suddenly signaled an emergency. Emperor Jingtai, seeing this, eagerly climbed to the second watchtower and picked up his binoculars.

All that could be seen was a dark mass on the distant horizon, the white breaths of men and horses forming a cloud of mist. That vast expanse of white was filled with cavalry, a sight that made one's hair stand on end.

The cavalry had begun to disperse, preparing to launch a charge.

Emperor Jingtai slowly lowered his binoculars, his breathing becoming heavy. He gripped the railing with both hands and gazed at the cavalry that surged like a tsunami, a smile appearing on his lips.

He glanced back at the giant cannon from afar. After remaining there for a long time, the silent behemoth finally began to slowly rotate. Several cannons required hundreds of people to operate. The heavy, massive cannon barrels, which could only be fixed to the ground, were slowly adjusted to aim at the enemy.

The flags began to wave, and the handles on the cannons, which required dozens of people to crank, began to turn, and the muzzle slowly rose.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Jingtai's nostrils and pupils dilated, and the surge of adrenaline caused his heart rate and body temperature to rise, making him feel that there was nothing else in his eyes.

The sights on the six giant cannons were already adjusted. The enemy had begun to gradually move, flanking from both sides. This formation was designed to make way for the heavy cavalry; the combined light and heavy cavalry power here was an unstoppable force, unmatched by anyone in the world. However…

The sound of chains locking and snapping echoed incessantly. The firing angle of the cannons was already locked, and with the cooperation of the commander and the flag bearer, they were just waiting for the order from the commander of the Shenji Battalion.

At this moment, the opponent's crescent-shaped shockwave is almost complete.

"It's now!"

Emperor Jingtai muttered to himself, and sure enough, all that studying military books during this period had paid off, as the order for the Divine Machine Battalion was issued at that very moment.

The earth tremors reached your jaws before the cannon fire.

The six steel behemoths roared simultaneously, their cannons glowing with a bloody light. The instant the gunpowder ignited, all the vegetation within three zhang behind the cannons collapsed, and the accumulated snow vanished instantly, leaving not a trace.

Instead of flames, the cannons spewed out six red dragons covered in sulfur and iron filings. Their roars plowed scorch marks into the ground and exploded in blinding white light amidst the enemy's ranks.

The light was like the blazing sun piercing through the dark clouds; even from a great distance, it was so bright that one could hardly open their eyes. The rising mist resembled a mushroom that only appears in spring, and it shot into the sky in an instant.

The ensuing roar and hurricane were mixed with the sounds of broken pieces of flesh and pebbles hitting the soldiers' armor, and the originally cold air became scorching hot.

On the walls of Luoyang, Li Mi could barely stand and nearly fell several times. He tried to take out his telescope, but he had no idea where he had thrown his precious telescope when he was knocked to the ground.

However, right after this volley, the heavy cavalry of Fuliang set out, and Emperor Jingtai rode ahead to catch up. As he led his cavalry out of the camp, he looked up at the crimson dragon banner. At this moment, he felt no fear, only the burning passion of the bloodline passed down from his ancestors.

"Raise the dragon banner! Follow me and charge! My men, whoever kills the enemy before I do will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"

Donning his heavy helmet and wielding his eight-sided Han sword, he shouted, "The glory of the Han people must not be tarnished by barbarians! Charge!!!"

"kill!"

The heavy cavalry began their advance, their speed gradually increasing, and five thousand heavy cavalrymen carved a cleaving line across a snow-covered plain.

In an instant, the terrifying heavy cavalry charged into the enemy ranks, like a sharp knife piercing the enemy's heart.

With dragon banners fluttering and blood flowing freely, only the heavy cavalry remained of Fuliang's traditional soldiers. And now they were fighting not only for the dignity of warriors, but also to defend the dignity of cavalry!

Five thousand against seventy thousand—even though those seventy thousand men had been shaken to pieces by the giant cannons, the fact that Emperor Jingtai dared to launch the charge showed that he was already a passable emperor in front of us.

He took a blow to the back, but the new armor of Fuliang was not split open. The composite material in the middle broke and offset the impact. Emperor Jingtai turned around and shot the man's head with a shotgun.

At that moment, heavy cavalry swept past behind them, scattering the group in disarray. Someone turned around and shouted, "Your Majesty, you're too slow!"

"Hahaha, good lad!" Emperor Jingtai drew his golden mace: "Kill him!!!"
