Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 325 Surprise Attack on Pingzhou City

Lu Zhihai spent two days preparing for the attack on the city of Liaoyang, and another six days of attacking the city, adding up to eight days had already passed.

On the surface of the Bohai Sea, Zheng Hai's fleet, which transported the third batch of Anton cavalry across the sea from Dengzhou, was cutting through the wind and waves, sailing towards the coast south of Pingzhou, and would join the first two batches of Anton cavalry arriving there.

It's only a few days before November, and the sea breeze at night is already very penetrating.

With the shaking of the ship, war horses neighed from time to time.

Some Anton Iron Knights also leaned against each other to keep warm.Fortunately, Li Fei had the foresight. When the Zheng Hai fleet transported the refugees and captives across the sea to Liaodong for their return voyage, in addition to food, weapons and armor, they also specially brought winter clothes. put on.

Suzong Li Heng hated Li Fei and wished to execute Li Fei whenever he had the opportunity.It is relying on Anton's self-sufficiency that Li Fei can afford the various consumptions of Anton's cavalry.

Another day and night passed, and the third batch of Anton Iron Knights finally landed, reuniting with the first two batches of Anton Iron Knights.

"Let's go after an hour's rest, aiming for Pingzhou City!" Li Fei ordered.

The reason for not rushing to Pingzhou City immediately is because the third batch of Anton Iron Cavalry has just landed, and many soldiers have not recovered from seasickness. Their bodies are weak, their feet are fluttering, and they can't even ride a horse. horse riding.

There is no way, the [-] soldiers of Anton's iron cavalry have not undergone special training after all, and it is inevitable that many people will suffer from seasickness.The first batch and the second batch were okay. They had rested for at least three or four days, and they had already fully recovered. The worst thing was undoubtedly the third batch. Li Fei didn't want to wait any longer, and only gave them an hour Time to relax.

An hour later, facing the last ray of the evening sun, Li Fei led 70 Anton cavalry to kill Pingzhou City, more than [-] miles away to the north.

The iron cavalry galloped away, and some coastal people who were restricted because they were afraid of the news being revealed in advance, finally regained their freedom.After all, Li Fei is not a murderer without batting an eyelid. He couldn't kill everyone in order to prevent the news from being leaked. It just restricted the freedom of these people for a few days. Each of them was given money as compensation.

Pingzhou City is not only the prefecture of Pinglu Dao, but also the largest and strongest city in Pinglu Dao.After Lu Zhihai led [-] rebels into Andong, only [-] garrison soldiers remained in Pingzhou City.

When Li Fei arrived at Pingzhou City with [-] Anton cavalry, it was getting dark and the gate of Pingzhou City had just closed.

"Boom!" The sound of galloping horses gradually became clear.

"Where are the large-scale cavalry coming from?" As one of the front lines that once fought against the Xi and Khitan peoples, the soldiers in Pingzhou City knew the sound of galloping iron cavalry all too well. The rebel general Lu Zhihai stayed behind in Pingzhou City was named Liu Kuan .

Friend or foe?

The defenders on the city wall of Pingzhou seemed a little flustered, and the commander Liu Kuan even opened his eyes wide, staring at the direction of the sound without daring to blink.

Soon, an iron cavalry rushed out from the corner of the official road.

"It's not the Xi clan, nor the Khitan clan, nor our 'Dayan' own iron cavalry, but the enemy army, it's the cavalry of the Tang court, no, it should be the Tang Anton cavalry!" Liu Kuan's eyes widened in shock. , I can't believe it.

Since the Anlushan Rebellion, the flags and armors of the rebels have been different from those of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. The Andong Iron Cavalry also has some differences from the authentic Datang Iron Cavalry, but the color of the armor remains the same as that of the Datang Iron Cavalry, and It was also the banner of Datang.

Although it was recognized from the color of the flag armor and the flag that it belonged to the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, and it was the Anton cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Kuan couldn't figure it out. It stands to reason that most of the Anton cavalry had followed Li Fei to the Central Plains. It should be south of the Yellow River, why did it suddenly appear under the city of Pingzhou.Even if Li Fei brought Anton's iron cavalry back to aid, shouldn't he go back to Liaoyang City and fight Lord Jiedushi for a decisive battle?
Is it possible that he is still paying attention to besieging Wei and saving Zhao?
As Li Fei and An Dong's iron cavalry were about to rush to the city of Pingzhou, the anti-army defenders in Pingzhou seemed extremely flustered.

Liu Kuan's palms were also sweaty, because there were only [-] defenders in Pingzhou City, and there were at least [-] of these Anton cavalry from the Tang Dynasty. Once they entered the city——

Thinking of this, Liu Kuan was stunned. He originally thought that if so many Anton cavalry entered the city, it would not be able to resist the four thousand defenders under his command, but because he was too flustered just now, he ignored one One thing is that although there are many Anton cavalry, and they suddenly appeared under the city of Pingzhou, causing panic, but Anton cavalry must be able to enter the city.

"They are just cavalry, and they don't carry any siege equipment. They can't break through Pingzhou City!" Liu Kuan's heart immediately relaxed, and the original panic and worry disappeared.

The cavalry is powerful, but they have to be able to attack into the city.Cavalry without any siege equipment, what can they use to enter the city?Not to mention more than 2 cavalry, even if there are 20 cavalry, it is impossible to fly over the city wall directly on horses.

Liu Kuan was no longer worried, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Anton cavalry quickly rushed to within [-] meters of the city wall of Pingzhou.

"Archery!" Liu Kuan calmly ordered the archers on the city wall to shoot arrows. He was not worried that Anton's cavalry would rush into the city directly, and he could just shoot and kill some Anton's cavalry as a reward.

The anti-army soldiers on the city wall bent their bows and set up arrows, and they were about to shoot arrows.

However, Anton Iron Cavalry shot the arrow first as soon as it rushed into the distance of [-] meters.

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu“~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~…

Liu Kuan and the anti-army soldiers who were bending their bows and setting arrows turned pale with fright and hurriedly avoided.

Arrows rained down, and some anti-army archers who had no time to dodge were shot and fell to the ground, blood staining the city.

Anton's iron cavalry not only rushed within a hundred meters without stopping, but continued to rush towards the city wall unabated.And while charging, he kept shooting arrows at the city wall, crushing Liu Kuan and other anti-army defenders on the city wall unable to raise their heads.

It wasn't until they reached a distance of only 50 meters that Anton's cavalry reined in their horses, but there were still ten Anton's cavalry continuing to rush towards the city gate.

Liu Kuan dodged the arrows shot by Anton's cavalry, took a break, glanced at the city, saw the actions of Anton's cavalry, and wondered what Anton's cavalry was going to do, could it be that he could directly rely on his horse to smash into the city? Door?Is it too whimsical?
It didn't take long for Liu Kuan to wonder before he knew the answer.

After the ten Anton cavalry rushed to the city gate, they took out the thunder from the package on the side of the horse, lit it, and threw it in front of the city gate.Then immediately turned the horse's head and turned back.

"Boom!" The ten thunderbolts exploded almost at the same time.

The wooden city gate couldn't withstand such a violent explosion at all, and was directly blown to pieces.

After the explosion, the gate of Pingzhou City had been blown open.

"Kill!" Li Fei pointed forward with his sword and ordered to charge.

"Kill!" An Dong cavalry took the opportunity to rush into Pingzhou city from the blasted city gate.
