Chapter 216 He Yue'er's Goat Horn

Not only are the minor and serious wounded soldiers, but also the infantry who can't ride horses. Not everyone in the Tang army can ride horses, especially in the infantry army, even those who can ride on war horses can barely achieve 6 or 7. This also means that this breakout will not only throw away all the wounded soldiers, but also more than 20,000 infantry.

Not only is it a military defeat, but also the 18 counties of Henan Prefecture, the tens of thousands of people who support Chen Ying will only face two choices when Wang Shichong makes a move, either surrender to Zheng State or be slaughtered by the Zheng army.

Changsun Shunde continued: "If the elite soldiers under Zuo Xiaowei break through at all costs, the 30,000 war horses prepared by His Majesty for General Chen can be saved at least half of them! They are just the people of Henan Prefecture."

Qin Qiong also felt that the real man Pojun killed the generals was a pleasure, but when he heard this, he found that he wanted to abandon half of his brothers this time, which made him unacceptable.

Not only Qin Qiong, but Cheng Zhijie also twisted his eyebrows together.

Even other generals looked at Changsun Shunde differently, and even had a bad temper and cursed Changsun Shunde directly on the face of Changsun Shunde. Changsun Shunde was a child of aristocratic families and had always taken care of those children. When they encountered a job, they always thought of the children of aristocratic families. For example, this time, they broke through the good things to seek survival. The breakthrough was the priority of the sons of aristocratic families and the direct descendants of Changsun Shunde. In fact, these marginalized generals were just to give up and enjoy their mouths before dying.

"Just join your mother's Changsun Shunde, you know that you are not fucking bad!"

"You have no fucking son."

"What a bad idea!"

"It's not something!"

...

Changsun Shunde ignored these scoldings. It was not that he was not generous, but that he felt that there was no need to argue with a dead man Tang. Seeing Li Shimin silent, Changsun Shunde smiled and said, "Maybe this can be done. We let them pretend to vote on Wang Shichong, and Wang Shichong would not kill them all. In the future, we will lead our troops back and they will turn against each other again?"

Hou Junji did not give him face just because Changsun Shunde was the uncle of Changsun Wuji and Qin Princess Changsun Wugui, because Changsun Shunde's idea was too bad. Hou Junji sneered coldly: "General Changsun, don't have such naive ideas!"

Li Shimin knew that in terms of government affairs, he could not compete for Li Jiancheng, so he had to compete for the morale of the army and the position of the number one in the Tang army. He won the loyal support of the soldiers. Now, although the generals of the Qin Palace have obtained some of his benefits and love his courage, as generals, once they abandoned their troops to survive at critical moments, they would definitely not continue to follow Li Shimin in the future.

Even with the support of the soldiers, Li Shimin lost more things. Even now, Li Shimin has not given up competing for Li Jiancheng's position.

As the saying goes, there will be gains and losses. Because Li Shimin has great ambitions, he will not do anything even if he plays. Unless Zheng Jun can break the camp immediately, he will choose this bad strategy when he is desperate.

"Yes, it's useless to say so many things before. The soldiers are just taking action." Li Shimin sighed and said, "People's hearts are rare and easy to lose. When Liu Bei was driven from Xinye by Cao Cao to Jiangxia, the reason why he could easily gain Jingzhou was related to his rather than losing military advantages along the way. If we brought so many people, we would be afraid that we would not be able to escape the encirclement of the Wang family, but if we abandon them, they would also regard us as strangers. At that time, even if we all launched the Tang Dynasty soldiers, we would only forcibly invade the Central Plains. It would be difficult for us to have any help from the inside..."

But at this moment.

"Boom boom boom..."

With loud noises coming, even Li Shimin's big tent felt a clear tremor.

Li Shimin didn't even have to look at it, and he knew that Wang Shichong's catapult began to fire stone bombs. Just as he was watching on the arrow tower, Li Shimin saw that the Zheng army soldiers assembled a thirteen-end catapult. Each launch of this catapult requires more than 500 people to use force at the same time. Of course, the stone bombs can be fired more than 500 kilograms. This catapult can throw more than 500 kilograms of stone bombs to more than 500 steps away.

If this kind of stone bullet hits the rammed earth city wall, it will be a big pit. If it is a brick and stone wall, it will cause gravel to fly. The stone bullet weighing more than 500 kilograms has huge kinetic energy, like a tank car, rolling in front of the horse in front of the Tang army camp, consuming kinetic energy immediately until the kinetic energy disappears. Just one stone bullet fell into the bush of Juma and Luzhai, and smashing the four horses and two Luzhai.

There was also a camp wall that fell on the rammed land of the wooden village. It was nearly three feet thick. With the loud noise, it collapsed nearly ten steps wide. There was also a stone bullet hitting an arrow tower. The arrow tower fell down in response to the sound. The wood chips that were smashed by the stone bullet flew across like bullets. As long as the Tang soldiers swept by the wood chips, they all flowed blood and fell to the ground and wailed in pain.

Listening to the wailings and screams from the front of the camp, Changsun Shunde hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, you can still consider this matter carefully. Under such a stone cannon, our camp will not last long!"

Niu Junda was afraid that Li Shimin had heard Changsun Shunde's words and ordered a breakout. He hurriedly advised: "Your Highness Qin, we cannot do this! Our brothers, the elders of Henan Prefecture, are sincere to us! If others support us, we cannot let them down!"

Changsun Shunde said: "That's the case. But if we bring so many people, we will never be able to break through and escape."

"Why do we escape!" Cheng Zhijie couldn't help but roar, "Let's run towards Wang Shichong's old man's king flag! Humph, although Wang Shichong has many people, it may not be able to stop us..."

Changsun Shunde said disapprovingly: "General Cheng is brave. Your headquarters is almost lost? I will give you another 5,000 troops, and you can kill Wang Shichong's camp for me?"

"If you go, go, I'm afraid it's raised by a little maid!" Cheng Zhijie looked like I was a gangster and was afraid of someone. He roared with a wide-body axe: "Your Highness, King Qin, I'll ask for a fight."

Qin Qiong said: "Your Highness of the King of Qin, it is better to put it to death in order to achieve prosperity! It won the hearts of the people and the victory of Henan! But if you follow this path, whether you can succeed depends not only on us, but it depends on how General Chen cooperates."

Li Shimin thought to himself that if Chen Ying was the only one around Chen Ying, he wouldn't dare to put all his bets on Chen Ying, but Chen Ying was still there. Once Li Xiuning knew that he was in a hurry, how could Chen Ying not fight to rescue him?

Qin Qiong looked at Li Shimin with anticipation. In fact, Qin Qiong was also very nervous. He was really worried that Li Shimin would make a choice that disappointed him. If Li Shimin was really determined to break through, even if it proved that Li Shimin was really unbearable to assist, just like Liu Adu who could not support him, then he could consider his future plan.

Cheng Zhijie, Niu Junda, Xie Yingdeng and Qin Qiong's eyes met in the air, and they were all waiting for Li Shimin's decision.

Good ministers choose their masters and serve them, and good birds choose their trees and live there. Of course, when the king chooses ministers, the ministers also choose their kings. The ancient relationship between the king and the minister was actually more like the employment relationship between the current company boss and the employee. With a company boss without a future, it is difficult to obtain the true support of talents.

Just then, Li Shimin said: "I believe General Chen will not disappoint me, but he doesn't know the situation we are in Cijian. Now I need a general to inform General Chen of General Chen. I wonder which general is willing to go?"

Li Shimin's voice had just finished, and Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Niu Junda, and Xie Yingdeng couldn't help but be happy.

"Your Highness of Qin, I am willing to go!" Hou Junji bowed and clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to lead three thousand elite troops to destroy the Zheng Jun stone cannon outside the camp, and then break through and report the news!"

Li Shimin shouted: "Accurate..."

Ten consecutive rounds of thirteen trench trench trenches, the front line of the western battalion of the Tang army camp had been smashed to pieces. Standing while the Tang army soldiers were avoiding the trench, the Zheng army soldiers drove the civilians and desperately went to fill the trench in front of the Tang army camp.

If Chen Ying stood here, he would definitely be busy calling for the cooperation between the guns and guns.

Usually when filling trenches, the arrows from the Tang army camp would shoot the Zheng army soldiers and civilians who filled the trenches into blood. However, under the attack of the catapult, the Tang army camp wall did not dare to stand within 200 steps. Although the catapult bombardment speed and poor accuracy, the stone bullet weighing 500 kilograms was like a heavy artillery. If a stone bullet was shot down, a blood alley would plow out from the Tang army camp.

The stone bullet with huge kinetic energy is like a meat grinder. It will break wherever it touches. When it breaks, the legs of the Tang army soldiers will be lost immediately, even sharper than Modao.

Wang Shichong has been sending to observe the situation in the Tang army camp. As Hou Junji just led the cavalry to assemble, Wang Shichong issued an order: "Li Shimin is ready to risk his life to destroy the stone cannon, and order the shooting army to come forward and give Li Shimin a little color!"

In the Tang army camp, Hou Junji used cloth strips to tie the horizontal knife to his hands together, which was naturally to avoid blood staining on his hands. The horizontal knife would slip and fly away. More than 3,000 cavalrymen did not imitate Hou Junji. They just silently fed the war horses with fine grain and essence.

"Kill!" Hou Junji led the cavalry to rush out of the camp.

Seeing the Tang cavalry rushing towards him, the Zheng army's scattering soldiers quickly placed a basket of stone bullets the size of fists or bowls on the shooting arm, and under the general's order, they fired bullets one after another.

No one can calculate how many stones there are in a basket, but these thousands of stone bullets flew towards the Tang cavalry led by Hou Junji. Although the stones have become smaller, the strike surface is quite wide. It is like the flowering bullets in later generations. With one stone gun down, it smashes down a piece of Tang cavalry.

Whether it was a man or a horse, a bunch of blood mist exploded on the body. The broken Ye Jia flew around, revealing bloody wounds. The Tang cavalry in the front row rolled into a ball with his horse, and was beaten into a sieve in the moment. Even if the people behind him avoided, the horse would not be able to escape... If Chen Ying was present, he would definitely doubt whether these unlucky children were fired by Maxim's heavy machine gun!

More than a dozen thirteen-pin catapults fired at one volley, and the rows of Tang cavalry in front were almost swept away. In just one encounter, it was like thousands of cavalry and iron cavalry swept to the ground. The power of the stone bombs fired by the catapult in close combat was extremely effective.

However, the rate of firing of the catapult is too slow. Otherwise, if these catapults could have the same rate of firing as the rapid-fire cannons in later generations, it would probably be that the three thousand cavalry of Hou Junji would not be enough for these catapults to bombard.

Fortunately, the firing rate of the catapult in this era is too slow, and it takes at least one incense stick to be recharged again. You should know that the speed of a war horse galloping can reach 60 miles and more than 300 steps under the extreme conditions, which is only a few breaths for these cavalry.

After these Zheng army catapults launched a round of catapults, they quickly ran towards the Zheng army camp. There was no way to launch the second round. If they didn't run, they would wait to be killed by the Tang army cavalry!

The severely injured Tang army cavalry were red in their eyes. They gritted their teeth, leaped over the dead bodies on the ground and wounded soldiers squirming in pools of blood, and crashed into the Zheng army's catapult formation. These extremely angry Tang army cavalry soldiers would not give Zheng army a second chance to launch.

Several thirteen catapults were knocked over by war horses. As thousands of Zheng army catapult soldiers escaped, the formation of Zheng army archers was exposed.

If the Zheng army's thousands of bows and arrows were really allowed to set up their formation, just the Zheng army soldiers on the horse were shot by a volley, which would make Hou Junji doubt his life. The Zheng army archers, who were panicked by the panic throwing hands, were frightened to see the blood-stained Tang army cavalry rushed towards him. Before they could scream, they were knocked away or overturned. The horse's hooves were stomped down, and their stomachs were broken and their intestines were immediately flowed.

The archers of the Zheng army were not as rich as Chen Ying, with three pieces of equipment per person. The Zheng army had no melee weapons. Facing the Tang cavalry that was rushing to lightning, they were only slaughtered. The Tang cavalry, who had been jealous of the red-eyed, destroyed the formation of Zheng army soldiers like a flood. The archers who lost their formation were simply lambs that could be slaughtered.

Hou Junji led more than 2,000 cavalry under his command to plow the fields and plowed a bloody road in the Zheng army's archers' ranks and headed straight to the central army's camp!

Wang Shichong was shocked and angry, and commanded a team of troops wearing iron armor and holding long spears to meet him, preparing to block Hou Junji's rushing forward, but he didn't expect that Hou Junji just took a flick and led the cavalry to drive away the defeated Zheng army soldiers and let them attack the archer formation of Zheng army soldiers.

Wang Shichong became even more angry and quickly ordered the infantry to go forward and block the Tang cavalry's way back to the camp.

However, Hou Junji turned his horse's head and destroyed all the undestroyed catapults.

At this time, Hou Junji led the Tang cavalry to rush towards Wang Shichong's gate flag very fiercely. The war quickly became fierce, and the casualties on both sides were extremely heavy.

Just as the Zheng army infantry completed the blocking of Hou Junji, Hou Junji swung a shot and rushed towards Xin'an City again.

Taking advantage of the maneuverability of the Tang army cavalry, Hou Junji performed extraordinaryly on the war horses, exerting his keen grasp of the tactical situation, and finally got rid of most of the exhausted Zheng army soldiers and cavalry.

Wang Shichong was simply stunned: "This is too fierce, right?"

...

Li Xiuning had a period of menstruation and felt very uncomfortable. She lay down early. Li Xiuning thought the pillow was too low, so she picked up He Yue'er's package as a pillow and pillowed on her head. But suddenly she felt something very hard in the package. Li Xiuning opened the package and found a smooth-smoothed goat horn.

Li Xiuning was very strange. She had seen the horn of the horn, but the goat horn did not take out the cuticle inside. Li Xiuning took the goat horn and asked He Yueer in confusion: "Yue'er, what is the smooth-grinding goat horn used for?"

Seeing Li Xiuning take out the goat horn, He Yue'er exclaimed with panic: "Ah...no, nothing?"

Li Xiuning looked at the goat horn suspiciously: "Nothing? Nothing can you carry this goat horn closely?"

He Yue'er blushed to the base of her neck and said in a low voice like a mosquito: "No... nothing!"

As he said that, He Yue'er reached out to grab it.

Li Xiuning shrank his hand and avoided He Yue'er's hand and said, "Say... or not? If you don't say it, don't let me give you this goat horn!"

He Yue'er was helpless and was afraid of waking Cui Yingying in the carriage, which would make her even more embarrassed.

He Yue'er was so anxious that she cried: "Give it back to me, I'll say."

As he said that, He Yueer leaned over and whispered in Li Xiuning's ear.

A rosy look appeared on Li Xiuning's face, as if she was covered with a layer of rouge.

Li Xiuning said in surprise: "I'm surprised. Can that cold thing be worth living people?"
