Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 317 Riding Battle

Even though the officer, soldiers and cavalry officer seemed to be talking clearly and logically, in fact, he himself had no clue at all. He was just betting on luck. He was betting that the thieves would fire all the artillery in their hands under the pressure of his cavalry. At this time, the thieves on the opposite side would definitely have empty cannons in their hands.

When other officers and soldiers heard this, their morale improved slightly. They followed the officer and soldiers timidly and rushed towards Li Shi'an's artillery position again.

It's just that Li Shi'an was on a higher ground, and after the cavalry lost its initial speed, it would inevitably be slower to pick up speed again.

When the speed of this group of cavalry increased slightly, they were already within 20 steps of Li Shi'an's artillery position.

At this time, both parties could clearly see each other's expressions, and emotions such as panic, flinching, and embarrassment could all be felt from each other.

The cavalry officer was overjoyed when he saw this, and thought to himself: I won this bet. Looking at the other party's expression, he didn't look confident! He became angry and quickly ordered: "Come on, rush in and kill them all, leaving no one behind!"

As a result, before he could finish his words, the familiar sound of artillery sounded again. The cavalry officer felt pain all over his body, as if his body had been torn apart. He flew out before he could scream, and then fell heavily to the ground. His fate was unknown.

The cavalry officer didn't know what was going on, but the other cavalrymen could see clearly. It turned out that at this time, Li Shi'an launched two more artillery pieces in the formation, lit the fuses in front of them, and fired the cannonballs again as if they were hitting the cavalry in the face.

The cavalry officer and the other cavalrymen in the front were directly beaten into shape by the wave of shotguns, and they were swept to the ground along with their horses.

The deafening sound of artillery and the strong smell of blood stimulated the officers and soldiers who were crippled before they could get close to the enemy.

They stared blankly at the artillery among the rebels that made a huge roar and was pushed forward more than ten steps by the huge recoil. At this time, other soldiers in ragged clothes struggled to push the artillery that had been pushed away after the last firing, and tried hard to push them to the front of the formation. The black muzzle pointed at them again.

Unable to bear the fear in their hearts, no one knew who shouted "Run!" first, and then everyone quickly patted their mounts, turned around and ran to both sides. Some soldiers who were knocked off their horses because of the sound of artillery had no time to mount their horses, so they had to lead their horses and run away.

There were also soldiers whose horses were injured by artillery, either by luck or misfortune. In desperation, they had to run a few steps on two legs, trying to seize other horses that the soldiers would not have time to mount.

Suddenly, the officers and soldiers came in a fierce manner and fled in panic.

Li Shi'an looked at the cavalry who abandoned their armor and fled in front of the formation, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

It turned out that these two artillery were the artillery that had been falsely fired before. Because no shells were actually loaded and less gunpowder was put in, the reloading speed was very fast and the loading could be completed in time.

The other four artillery pieces have not yet had time to be loaded. But Li Shi'an really had no choice. Seeing that the morale of the officers and soldiers was low and fearful, he ordered other soldiers to reset the other four empty cannons first and sang the "empty city strategy".

Sure enough, the officers and soldiers were so frightened that they were so close, but they fled. In fact, if they took a few more tentative steps closer, it might be Li Shian and others who fled.

Here Li Shi'an harassed the enemy's pursuit, and at the same time withstood the surprise attack of two hundred cavalry from the officers and soldiers, giving Zhang Shun some breathing space.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers behind him had slowed down their pursuit due to Li Shi'an's artillery bombardment, Zhang Shun ordered Wukong to lead his own soldiers to counterattack the enemy commander, and at the same time ordered "King Zuo Jin" and "Grey Eyes" to rectify Formation, prepare to distance yourself and clash with the officers, soldiers and cavalry.

Wukong got the order, but he didn't really want to go. Before he left, his "Master's Wife" and the old Taoist priest Song Xiance warned him never to leave Zhang Shun's side, lest Zhang Shun would be in danger.

It's just that Zhang Shun is his "master" and he has to obey orders. Before leaving, Wukong said to Zhang Shun affectionately: "Master, I, the old grandson, have been fighting demons and demons all the way. I will never leave your side for a moment, so that you can go to the West to learn the scriptures."

"Occasionally, when we were separated for a moment, you were captured by the female monster, who wanted to be a long-lasting husband and wife with you. Now that you and my master and disciple are reunited again, you sent me away. And Bajie and Sha Seng are not around. Next, do you think there is anyone else who can protect you?"

Zhang Shun understood that Wukong was worried about his own safety, but now that the situation was urgent, he couldn't care less. Zhang Shun had no choice but to console him: "Master is no longer as powerful as he was back then. I have also practiced martial arts, got armor, and can ride fast horses. Since my disciple is worried, I will leave twenty cavalrymen with me." That's me. Don't worry, after you defeat the officers and soldiers here, it won't be too late for you and me to reunite as master and disciple!"

Seeing that he didn't know how to persuade him, Wukong stopped trying to persuade him. He had no choice but to take the order and go to attack the general. The guerrilla general became more loyal.

Since Yue Zhongzhong is a cavalry general, his subordinates are very skilled in martial arts. After all, cavalry is not as slow as infantry in combat.

Commanding the infantry, one can sit in the Chinese army's tent without the strength of a hand, strategizing, and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away.

Because no matter how elite the infantry is, they cannot quickly break through the enemy's formation and directly enter the opponent's central tent.

But cavalry combat is different, because with the help of war horses, cavalry is very fast. On the battlefield, everything is changing rapidly, and cavalry generals must always stand in front to watch the situation on the battlefield. Unlike infantry commanders, who sit firmly in the center of the army, they can make decisions based on the scouts' investigation and report back. This makes it easy for cavalry generals to be surprised by other cavalry generals.

The guerrilla general became more loyal and relied on his superior martial arts, so he couldn't help but shout: "Well done, who can kill this officer for me?"

One of the brave generals had already responded and came to fight Wukong on horseback. He was swept away by Wukong with a stick, and his life or death was unknown.

Seeing this, Yue Zhongzhong couldn't help but shrink his eyes and shouted sternly: "This man is good at martial arts, who else dares to fight?"

Everyone looked at each other, looking at each other. The man before had always been famous for his martial arts, but he was not an enemy of thieves and thieves, so they were all frightened.

At this time, the more loyal nephew saw this and quickly stood up and responded: "General, wait a moment, I will kill this officer for you!"

Yue Zhongzhong was afraid of killing his nephew, so he quickly advised him: "This man is so brave that he cannot be resisted. How can a little kid like you not be able to resist him?"

Yue Zhongzhong's nephew was young and energetic. Hearing this, he became competitive and said: "Uncle Wuyou, although this man is very skilled in martial arts, he doesn't know how to use firearms. I am very proficient in the three-eyed gun in my hand. Now times have changed, and the people of Guan and Zhang, It’s no more than the courage of an ordinary man!”

The guerrilla general Yue Zhongzhong laughed when he heard this and said: "Okay! Okay! Okay! What a loud tone, then I'll wait and see!"
