Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

In late July, King Ning led an army of [-] troops to attack Tongzhou City.

The [-]-day Wu Gang pirates stationed in Tongzhou City came out of the city to fight against King Ning's army.

Five miles outside the city, members of the Tianwu Gang were already in full formation.

He Jinghui held a telescope and looked at King Ning's military formation ahead. At the front were the three elite cavalrymen of Duoyan and Sanwei.

The central army consists of Li Liang's five-man Liaodong cavalry and the Shenji Battalion under King Ning.

On the left wing is a coalition of Mongolian troops with [-] cavalry.

On the right wing is the [-]-horse Jurchen coalition led by Nu Mu Haqi.

The rear army was made up of infantry from various guard posts in Liaodong. Although their combat power was not strong, it could just make up for the shortcomings of the cavalry, which was not good at attacking cities.

He Jinghui was also a veteran of wars. Although he mainly fought at sea, he had also fought on land. Just seeing this lineup made him a little scared.

"Nerd, the other side is full of cavalry. If they start running, our short legs won't be able to catch up."

Hou Tianzong also took a look at the telescope, and then put it down again:

"Yes, just because they are cavalry, we have to go out to fight. If we stay in the city, won't the people outside be harmed by them?"

"There are too many of them. If that kid's firearm fails, I'm afraid we'll have to report here."

"Haven't you tried it all? Although it has not been officially used on the battlefield, we have been installing it for half a year, so there should be no big problem."

He Jinghui still shook his head uneasily:

"I always feel like this thing is unreliable. If you're not a nerd, you'd better retreat first. We have no problem fighting a naval battle, but when fighting cavalry on land, I always feel unsure."

Hou Tianzong smiled and shook his head:

"If we lose, it would be good if we all fight and die here together, but I don't think we will lose."

"You are always so confident..."

……

Prince Ning Ji Gaoyun and Li Liang walked to the front of the formation hand in hand.

Li Liang glanced at the opposing lineup and said with a puzzled expression:

"I heard that the Tianwu Gang is invincible across the world and has no choice but to use Zhuge's strategy. How could they be so unwise and abandon the city to fight with our army in the field?"

Ji Gaoyun was also puzzled:

"Perhaps the rumors are exaggerated. They had secretly cooperated with the Zhang family before. Uncle Zhang is the best at building momentum. I guess they are two people who are just trying to gain fame."

Li Liang shook his head noncommittally:

"Uncle Zhang is a cautious man and is good at using people's strengths. Anyone who can cooperate with him is always good and should not be underestimated."

Ji Gaoyun nodded:

"Then let Duoyan Sanwei's elite cavalry test their quality. It's best if they can win it in one go, but it doesn't matter if they can't."

Li Liang nodded:

"What your Majesty said coincides with what I said."

After saying that, he waved his hand and called the commanders of Taining Guard, Duoyan Guard and Fuyu Guard over.

You go up and fight for a while. If you can fight in, fight in. If it doesn't work, move back. "

"Yes, my lord."

The two armies were one and a half miles apart in front of their formations, and three elite cavalrymen, Duoyan and three guards, slowly came out of the formation.

Slowly run 300 meters in front of the formation and start accelerating, and wait until 100 meters to start charging.

"Bah bah bah bah..."

After a round of musketry fire, nearly a hundred knights fell to the ground instantly, and the momentum of the charge was instantly suppressed.

But the second gunshot was not heard for a long time, and the elite cavalry of Duoyan's three guards boldly continued to charge.

50 meters…….

30 meters…….

The three guards of Duoyan had already fired a round of bows and arrows, and looked a little panicked at the formation of the Wu Gang.

20 meters…….

"Bah bah bah bah..."

There was another round of gunfire.

There were obviously many more people who fell this time than in the first round, at least several hundred people.

Seeing that they were about to rush into the enemy's formation, Duoyan's three elite cavalrymen seemed to see the dawn of victory, but there was only the last 15 meters left.

Suddenly, countless war horses lost their hoofs and could not run at all.

However, the Tianwu army swarmed up and used a mess of weapons to kill the cavalry who fell off their horses.

Although most of the cavalry were thrown off their horses, a small number of cavalry rushed into the Tianwu Gang's formation.

Suddenly, the Tianwu Gang's military formation turned into a mess, but after all, the number of Duoyan's three guards who rushed over was too small, and they were quickly surrounded and annihilated by the Tianwu Gang.

In the end, the three guards of Duoyan returned in defeat. Although they disrupted the Tianwu Army's military formation, their own losses were also surprisingly high.

Of the three capable cavalry, only 500 were able to retreat. The commanders of Taining Guard and Duoyan Guard were also killed in this battle.

This result was really surprising. Ji Gaoyun and Li Liang were angry and asked the commander Fu Yuwei, who had escaped, to question them.

It turned out that the Tianwu Army dug many densely packed small pits starting 15 meters in front of the formation, and planted grass on top of the pits.

If you don't look closely at it, you won't be able to see it at all.

The people of Duoyan Sanwei were completely unprepared and suffered a big loss.

Ji Gaoyun smiled bitterly:

"I didn't expect that the three guards of Duoyan, known as the Jingqi, would be defeated so inexplicably. Did we underestimate the strength of the Tianwu Army, or is the Jingqi already unworthy of its name?"

Li Liang sighed:

"A single volley of matchlocks scared them to a halt. There is no trace of their ancestors' legacy. The glory of their ancestors has long been gone. It seems that they have been raised very well over the years."

Ji Gaoyun said:

"Then what's the next step? A direct decisive battle? Judging from the situation just now, the Tianwu Army does not seem to be a strong army."

Li Liang nodded:

"My Majesty said that the veteran strongly agrees with what the Tianwu Army relies on is nothing more than matchlock guns. It can injure the enemy eighty paces away, so it is indeed difficult to deal with it. However, the total number of people should not be too many, probably about [-] people, and because there are few people, there is no The method uses three-stage shooting. With the rate of fire of the matchlock gun, it can only fire two rounds at most."

Ji Gaoyun smiled and said:

"It is better for the general to be mature and prudent. Let's decide the outcome in one battle. After the Tianwu army is eliminated, Ji Gaosheng will become a lamb to be slaughtered."

Li Liang bowed respectfully:

"Then I would like to congratulate His Highness in advance. I think he will soon be able to take over the capital and kill the false emperor at his head."

Ji Gaoyun laughed loudly:

"I would like to thank Master Li very much."

……

Inside the Tianwu Army, He Jinghui shook off the blood on his sword and returned to Hou Tianzong:

"Nerd, you are playing with fire. If that boy Xiang Le hadn't come back quickly just now, that Tatar cavalry would have almost rushed to your side."

Hou Tianzong smiled:

"Isn't this why we didn't rush over? There are cavalry on the opposite side. We can't chase them. We can only lure them to attack and try to eliminate their main force. Otherwise, once our trump card is known to them in advance, this battle will not be good. beated."

He Jinghui picked up the telescope and took a look again:

"What if Li Liang doesn't come out? Wouldn't our work be in vain?"

Hou Tianzong smiled and said:

"It's impossible. Our performance just now has really reached its limit. It's impossible for them not to see it. As long as we have more troops, we can be captured. Li Liang is also a veteran on the battlefield, and King Ning is even more extraordinary. The so-called lion fight Rabbit, use all your strength, there’s no way they don’t understand such a simple truth.”

He Jinghui took a telescope and looked left and right, then suddenly shouted:

"Moving, they have all moved as expected. The Tatar soldiers on the left and right wings have already surrounded us. The 'Liaodong Iron Cavalry' in the middle has also come out. They are really going to launch a general attack."

……

The Liaodong cavalry in the middle was led by Li Liang's son Li Bai.

The Liaodong cavalrymen have a three-eyed fire gun, but the best range of the three-eyed fire gun is only about 15 meters, which is just outside the Tianwu Army's tripping pit.

Their combat power is undoubtedly the best in Daxia. Li Liang's ability to suppress Liaodong relies on these five "Liaodong Iron Cavalry".

It can be said that the "Liaodong Iron Cavalry" is the guarantee of peace in the North. Without the suppression of the "Liaodong Iron Cavalry", the North would have been in war.

The Mongolian knights on the left are also holding back their energy and want to work hard to show off in front of the new emperor so that they can receive good treatment when the new emperor ascends the throne next year.

After all, 'The Power of the Dragon' is something that can only be encountered but not sought.

The right wing is more complicated. The Jurchens are now scattered. Although 2 people have gathered, in fact no one is convinced by anyone.

Although Numu Haqi became the nominal supreme leader by virtue of Li Liang's appointment, in reality he could only lead his own three elite cavalry.

Everyone had noticed Tian Wu Jun's performance before, and this kind of picking on the weaklings was everyone's favorite.

So there was a quarrel over the ranking of who should rush first and then rush, and in the end, the leader, Crossbow Mother Hatch, had no choice but to come forward to persuade them.

In the end, it was his own tribe who charged in at the end, and the dispute was finally settled.

At this time, the horn of attack has sounded, and the "Liaodong Iron Cavalry" in the middle has begun to attack.

The vanguard troops on both wings have also begun to attack.

Nearly [-] cavalrymen attacked together, and the whole earth trembled.

Li Bai rushed to the front with excitement on his face.Seeing that he was about to reach a hundred meters, he lowered his speed and hid behind a cavalryman.

"Bah bah bah bah..."

After a round of gunfire, dozens of cavalry were knocked down, and the remaining cavalry immediately accelerated wildly without any hesitation.

From this point alone, it can be seen that they are many times more elite than the Duoyan Sanwei.

80 meters…….

50 meters…….

30 meters…….

The Liaodong Cavalry's three-eyed fire muskets were all ready, and they only waited until they rushed into a 15-meter range to fire a round of muskets, and then rushed into the Tianwu army formation for a killing spree.

However, when they rushed within 20 meters, the Tianwu Army's style suddenly changed.

"Bah bah bah bah..."

A burst of gunfire rang out again, which startled Li Bai, but he didn't think much about it. He just felt that Wu Jun's reloading speed was a bit fast.

"Bah bah bah bah..."

Then another round of gunfire rang out, and Li Bai was stunned: What's going on, another round?

"Bah bah bah bah..."

Before Li Bai could react, the third round of shooting came again. This time, his horse was hit, and he let out a mournful cry before falling to the ground and dying.

"what……."

He fell to the ground, but the nightmare had just begun.

"Bah bah bah bah..."

"Bah bah bah bah..."

"Bah bah bah bah..."

The gunfire of the Tianwu Army seemed endless, and the last 20 meters became the cemetery of the "Liaodong Iron Cavalry".

Nearly half of the five-strong army was lost in just a few breaths.

Li Liang's heart was bleeding at this time, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe. Those were the elites selected from a million, and they were the foundation he had accumulated over decades of serving in the army.

But when the battle reached this point, he knew it could no longer be stopped. At this moment, the only hope was for the two wings to make a breakthrough...
