Please ask me to be the emperor

The red sun finally rose from the east, emitting such dazzling light that it stung people unable to open their eyes.

After confronting the rebels for a whole morning, the Jin soldiers began to move as Zhang Sanbai expected.

The Houjin elite who planned to charge into the battle began to put on double-layered iron armor, pushing simple shield carts made of quilts, wooden boards and small carts, and creakingly advanced towards the rebel positions.

It’s not easy to fight, it’s really hard to fight.

Zhang Sanbai shook his head and simulated several plans in his mind, but he rejected them all.

The method of using military force is to use the right combination to win by surprise.

Zhang Sanbai's problem this time was that his soldiers were tired and there were not many soldiers. He could only complete the "Zhenghe" but could not complete the "wonderful victory".

"Order Zhang Rukui to stay for an hour, and then you can retreat and repair!" Zhang Sanbai thought for a while and finally made up his mind.

In addition to Biaoying, Zhang Sanbai only had three battalions under his command: Guan Fumin, Li Wanqing and Zhang Rukui.

In this way, the officials and the people live on the right, Li Wanqing lives yesterday, and Zhang Rukui, who is in the best condition alone, is in the middle, facing the rear Jin Bingfeng.

"This... I understand!" Zhang Rukui was still a bit complaining at first, but after hearing Zhang Sanbai's order, he suddenly had nothing to say.

It turns out that Zhang Sanbai only has four battalions of men and horses in his hands, and neither Guan Fumin nor Li Wanqing's troops can move. So it can be imagined which battalion of men can replace Zhang Rukui.

Although Zhang Rukui's men and horses are not very elite, they can still fight if they stay in formation.

Not long after, the rear golden shield car finally pushed thirty steps in front of the rebel formation, and was already within the range of the rebels' various firecrackers.

Seeing that Zhang Rukui was unmoved, everyone on the left and right couldn't help but remind him: "General, it's time to fire the cannon!"

"Don't be anxious, don't let the Dongpi come out, don't fire the guns and cannons!" Zhang Rukui, who had received Zhang Sanbai's guarantee, was more confident and couldn't help but smile confidently.

"Isn't it wonderful if we can rest one more stick of incense and have one less stick of incense to fight?"

The rear Jindun chariot soldiers could not help but be stunned when they saw that the rebel army was as motionless as a mountain.

In battles in the past, every time a shield vehicle was launched, it would be shot by enemy artillery.

This time, he almost hit the other person's face, but there was still no movement. This was really the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair.

"If they don't move, we won't move either!" General Houjin hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ordered, "But shooting with firearms is not allowed."

Following the military order, Houjin's soldiers who were originally hiding behind the shield car took out firearms such as firecrackers and flanges to shoot at the rebels.

According to Houjin's establishment, a shield car can cover twenty people.

Among the twenty people, ten were black camp infantry pushing carts, and ten were elite white or red Baya soldiers fighting.

The white Baya La or Red Baya La elite soldiers who fought in these battles all carried two small firearms for attacking the rebels.

It didn't matter that he took action, which immediately angered the rebel general Zhang Rukui.

"How dare you take action even with a few firecrackers?" He couldn't help but sneer, "Follow my orders, and the entire battalion will use flying blunderbuss and other small firearms to fight back."

Following Zhang Rukui's order, the rebels immediately pulled out firearms such as bird guns, magic gun guns, Franchise guns, squatting tiger cannons, and the Second General and started shooting in the direction of the rear golden shield vehicle.

Although Houjin's side was covered by a shield car, the quantity and quality of firearms were far inferior to those of the rebels. They only fired two rounds and suffered a big loss.

In particular, the solid bullets fired by "heavy-caliber" artillery such as the Tiger Crouching Cannon and the Second General can easily penetrate Houjin's "simple shield vehicle", just like a gourd, skewering several Baiba Ya La at one time. Or Hong Baya's elite soldiers, which immediately made Azig, the Yingwu Commandery Prince who was in charge of the central army, unable to sit still.

"What are the shield soldiers doing? Why don't you join the battle quickly!" Azig ordered with a dark face.

Firearms are the basis of "thieves"; hand-to-hand combat with armor is my specialty. Is there any reason in the world to use short strikes to make long blows, or to use the weak against the strong?

Following Azig's order, the Houjin elite who were huddled behind the shield car to "move foreign workers" reluctantly left the "warm nest" sheltered in front of them.

Human nature tends to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and even the elite Houjin, who are known for their bravery, cannot escape this.

However, the elite were the elite. Although they slacked off, under the urging of General Hou Jin, they still wrapped themselves in soaked quilts and rushed towards the rebels.

Thirty steps is equivalent to about 45 meters in later generations, and the sprint time of an ordinary person is only ten seconds.

For Houjin elites wearing double armor, the time required would not exceed twenty seconds.

Twenty seconds means that the "field artillery" and "golden artillery" equipped by the rebels have little chance to reload and fire a second time.

"Fire, fire!" Zhang Rukui gave the order decisively, facing Houjin's "dead soldiers" who looked like wolves and tigers.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The five field guns and five golden cannons under his command rang loudly together.

Suddenly, countless shotgun shells mixed with ten solid iron bullets flew out, densely hitting the charging crowd of Hou Jin.

A few strong men who looked like iron towers were unfortunately hit by solid bullets and shattered into several pieces like mud.

Some unstoppable dead soldiers were hit by shotguns and were beaten like a hornet's nest. Their bodies were covered with blood holes, and the blood was spitting out.

Of course, more soldiers survived because of the protection of their quilts and armors, which shielded them from the flying bullets.

Seeing that Hou Jin's "dead soldiers" were about to hit the rebel line hard, for some reason, there was another loud noise, and a large number of Hou Jin's elite soldiers, who had suffered some casualties, fell again.

Houjin's "dead soldiers" suffered a heavy setback and did not let the momentum of the charge slow down, and then they crashed into the rebel formation.

However, this reprieve didn't matter. The rebels who had been overwhelmed by Hou Jin's charging momentum were surprised to find that the enemy on the opposite side seemed to be a little timid. Their morale was boosted, and they took the initiative to meet the enemy and fought with them.

The husband's courage in battle, and the sudden rush in front of the two armies, actually evened the morale gap between the two sides.

"Ouch!" At the moment when the two armies were fighting, Prince Azige of Yingwu Commandery, who was far away in the middle army, let out an extremely annoyed voice.

Why?

It turned out that Azig had seen clearly just now. Just when the Hou Jin soldiers were about to engage in battle, violent artillery fire suddenly rang out from the left and right battalions of the rebel army.

Of course, Azig didn't know what "crossfire" was, but that didn't stop him from seeing the power of this attack from left and right, causing huge damage to the "dead soldiers" he was charging.

In fact, due to the formation of the rebels, the artillery of the left and right battalions had blind spots and could not cover the front end of the battle with the rebels.

However, it has the ability to attack the mid-end and back-end of Houjin's "dead soldiers" anytime and anywhere.

Just now, the rebel army launched a fire attack on the front and middle of Hou Jin's soldiers just as they were about to engage in battle. This caused Hou Jin's originally aggressive charge to become a weak engagement.

One side has the advantage in hand-to-hand combat, and the other side has the advantage in artillery. Although the rebels are on the opposite side, they are still inextricable from Houjin's dead soldiers. For a while, the battle situation between the two sides was stalemate.

At this moment, a light cavalry team consisting of five people galloped to Pingyao City and paid a visit to the general stationed here, Dang Shousu.

"Sneak attack on Jiexiu City tonight?" Dang Shousu opened the military order and looked at it, his expression changed.

"Yes, now Zhang Shuai is leading an army to fight against the main force of Houjin at Luowangzhuang Ferry. There are about four to five thousand troops left behind by Houjin. They are all exhausted soldiers. They can win in one battle." The messenger said quickly.

"But...but I only have one battalion." Dang Shousu hesitated after hearing this.

"It doesn't matter, please ask the general of the party to buy us some fast horses as soon as possible. We will go to Qixian immediately and ask General Zhang who is stationed in Qixian to come and help!"

"Oh?" Dang Shousu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately had a deeper understanding of Zhang Sanbai's courage and methods.

Qixian, Pingyao and Jiexiu are the hometowns of "traveling Mongolian merchants", many of whom traveled with the Tartars.

Previously, the rebels had such tight defense, but Hou Jin still allowed Hou Jin to capture Jiexiu City.

Now Zhang Sanbai ignored these two counties and attacked Jiexiu with all his strength.

There are mixed benefits and risks, and it is definitely not something ordinary people can make such a decisive decision about.

"Okay, since Zhang Shuai is so heroic, then why shouldn't the party be disobedient?" Dang Shousu thought for a moment and couldn't help but make up his mind.
