Chapter 165: These fools are killed by this general

"Chen'er, I'm looking for death!" Wang Shichong's mood was like riding a roller coaster. Of course, if Wang Shichong had ever taken it, Wang Shichong would have wiped out Li Shimin's troops, but Chen Ying unknowingly killed under his nose. Chen Ying broke through his bow and arrow formation and Hu cavalry troops in succession.

He had only more than 10,000 cavalry under his command, of which 5,000 were in the hands of Wang Shiyun, and more than 5,000 were placed beside him. As a result, these 5,000 cavalry did not even hold on in front of Chen Ying. Now more than 3,000 Hu cavalry were killed or injured, and they had completely lost their combat effectiveness. Although Wang Shichong was a Hu man, he was not very worried about the losses of Hu cavalry. There were still 20,000 or 30,000 Hu people living in Luoyang, and these people were almost all natural cavalry. They would be qualified cavalry when they were caught, and they could save even horses.

Wang Shichong was originally worried about how to deal with Chen Ying's cavalry, but Chen Ying ran to the bottom of Longmen Canyon and met with Li Shimin. What is the difference between Chen Ying at this time and Li Shimin before?

It is ridiculous that Chen Ying was so arrogant that he wanted to fight Wang Shichong to the death.

At this time, the sky was bright and the vision was gradually widening. The Zheng army soldiers on the Daqing Mountain were densely packed and began to adjust the firing angle. The archers also aimed at the cavalry under Chen Ying. These cavalry were different from the Xuan Armored Cavalry. The Xuan Armored Cavalry were equipped to not only prevent arrows, but also defend against swords, axes and guns.

However, Chen Ying's lancers had no vests. Not to mention the knife and axe, even arrows could cause damage to them. However, Chen Ying had no sense of being stuck.

The heavy look on Li Shimin's face fell into Li Xiuning's eyes. Li Xiuning naturally understood Li Shimin's concerns. She stepped forward and patted Li Shimin's arm and said, "Don't worry, second brother, Chen Lang, he will not fight a war that is unsure!"

Li Shimin stared at the Hook and Scythe Lancers with high fighting spirit. This was indeed a rare elite force, with excellent equipment and high morale, far surpassing any army he had encountered before. Perhaps only the Xuan Armored Cavalry could compete with them. It was a pity that all the Xuan Armored Cavalry were broken here, and even Zhai Changsun died in the canyon, and even the body was not snatched back. He did not have the confidence to eat them in one bite!

Wang Xuanying watched Chen Ying's troops enter the bottom of the canyon and laughed loudly: "Chan Ying's son is also a snatcher!"

A knowing smile appeared on Wang Shichong's face.

Cheng Zhijie was straightforward and muttered: "General Chen, let's think about how to break through first!"

"Breakthrough?" Chen Ying shook his head and said, "I have never wanted to break through. I still have to think about beheading Wang Shichong's head!" Chen Ying turned to the hook sickle lances beside him and said, "The whole army is ready, throw out the poisonous smoke cartridges, and attack immediately!"

At this moment, the hook and sickle lances took out something like half of the gourd from the horse's neck and then put it on each other. At this time, the hook and sickle lances turned into monsters, as if everyone was wearing a pig's nose mask.

Li Shimin asked in surprise: "They are..."

"Gas mask!" Li Xiuning also took out two identical things from the war horse's neck.

At this moment, the hook and sickle cavalry and spear cavalry took out several more things like meteor hammers. Unlike the meteor hammer, the chain of this meteor hammer is not iron, but leather ropes. The head of the hammer is not iron, it seems to be a pottery jar. And it also carries a fuse made of linen cloth.

Li Shimin looked at the meteor hammer in the hands of the hook and sickle lances in disbelief and said in surprise: "This is it? Will it be so powerful?"

"Poison fire bombs, as long as you inhale four or five mouthfuls of poisonous smoke, you will be dizzy. If you inhale too much, they will be poisoned and bleed to death..." Li Xiuning smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, I was ready to wear one more."

As he said that, Li Xiuning put this mask that looked like a pig's nose on Li Shimin's head without saying a word.

Li Shimin was half-believing and half-doubted. When he put on a gas mask, he felt a little difficult to breathe, but his vision was seriously blocked. The rest had no effect.

As for other Xuanjia Cavalry remnants, or generals such as Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong, etc., Li Xiuning had no choice but to say that she could not help.

The cavalrymen took out these meteor hammers as if no one was around, jumped off their war horses, and lit them on the fire that had not yet been extinguished at the bottom of the valley.

Chen Zhiluo looked at the Tang army soldiers' back and forth as if no one was around, and was a little annoyed: "These Tang dogs have been brave enough to eat the leopards, and they dare to be so arrogant! Your Majesty, I will ask for a team of elite soldiers to rush forward and give them some color!"

Zhu Can, who had just returned to Wang Shichong, had not had time to breathe, glared at Chen Zhiluo fiercely. Zhu Can's name as an ogre devil king was not vented. Zhu Can initially served as an assistant to Chengfu County (now Bozhou, Anhui). In December of the 11th year of Daye (615), when Zhu Can followed the army to conquer the rebel army in Changbai Mountain (located in the south of Zouping, Shandong), fled and gathered people to rebel, claiming to be "Kidahan thief". Zhu Can called himself King Garuluo and had more than 100,000 troops.

In the first month of the second year of Wude (619), Zhu Can had 200,000 troops and plundered between the Han River and Huai River. The migration of the troops was unconventional. Every time he broke through a prefecture and county, he had not eaten up all the food accumulated in the prefecture and county, and burned all the remaining materials in the prefecture and county when leaving the prefecture and county. He also did not pay attention to agriculture, so the great famine occurred, and the people who starved to death accumulated like mountains and there was a situation where people ate people. Zhu Can's army had nothing to plunder, and the army lacked food, so Zhu Can asked the soldiers to cook women and children to eat, and said to his subordinates: "There is no better food than human flesh. As long as there are people in other towns, why worry about starvation!"

At that time, the Sui Dynasty's works, Lu Congdian, and Yan Minchu, the son of Yan Zhitui, lived in Nanyang because of his demotion. Zhu Can initially invited him to be his guests, but later Zhu Can lacked food, so he ate the whole family of both of them.

In fact, in the entire Zheng State, except for Wang Shichong, there were no one who was not afraid of Zhu Can, including Wang Renze. He was so scared that Chen Zhiluo was afraid to speak and quickly retreated aside.

Zhu Can said this, "Your Majesty, this Tang army is full of strangeness. According to my opinion, you should be cautious!"

Wang Shichong nodded and said, "Not bad!"

At this moment, Wang Renze looked at the cavalry and lancesman holding a meteor hammer with yellow smoke in his hands, and his face changed drastically.

Wang Xuanying saw Wang Renze's frightened look and was about to take the opportunity to mock him. Wang Shichong also noticed Wang Renze's abnormality. For Wang Shichong, Wang Renze's nephew was the most talented one among the Wang family's nephews. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Renze, what's going on?"

Wang Renze said: "Your Majesty, retreat quickly. This is Chen Ying's poisonous smoke. They are setting off poisonous smoke..."

Wang Renze's voice showed a strong sense of fear.

Zhu Can did not give Wang Renze any face and said disapprovingly: "Poison smoke? Poison smoke, they throw the farts, how far can they shoot? Someone came to shoot me..."

Just then, bang bang bang...

A series of muffled sounds sounded, and thousands of meteor hammers were spinning in the air and flying towards the Zheng army. It was a pity that, as Zhu Can expected, even with the help of a meteor hammer-like leather rope, these poisonous smoke balls were thrown fifty or sixty steps away, and a few could be thrown seventy or eighty steps away. However, at this time, the Zheng army soldiers were still a hundred steps away from the Tang army, and these thousands of poisonous fire balls were not injured even a Zheng army soldier.

When Li Shimin saw this scene, he felt a little disappointed and sighed, "What a pity!"

Chen Ying smiled disapprovingly and said, "Your Highness the King of Qin doesn't know that this poisonous smoke does not have to be thrown into the enemy formation. Once it falls into the enemy formation, they can quickly extinguish the poisonous smoke with soil or water, which will easily lose its effect. The current distance is just right..."

Besides, Chen Ying didn't say anything.

The convection of air is from bottom to top, and the flue gas is also hot air. The density of hot air is lighter than that of humid air, so hot air will slowly float up.

In fact, these poisonous smoke balls are a reduced version of the wolf poison smoke of the Song Dynasty in later generations. Each wolf poison smoke of the Song Dynasty weighs five kilograms and must be fired by a catapult. Chen Ying's poisonous smoke balls with a pike weigh 18 taels, which is about one kilogram. For example, the weight of the six or seven wooden handle bang in later generations is about the same.

In order to help the combustion, Chen Ying's proportion of saltpeter in the poison smoke ball. The poison smoke ball made of the pot fell to the ground. Even if it was broken, large amounts of yellow smoke rolled up like a roaring yellow dragon. Tens of thousands of poison smoke balls were neatly released in just a dozen breaths. The entire Longmen Canyon area that lasted for more than ten miles suddenly filled the smoke, like a fairyland.

The bows and arrows of the Zheng army soldiers also sounded at the same time, and accompanied by the sounds of the shaking strings, dense arrows began to fly towards Chen Ying's troops.

However, these hook and sickle cavalry cavalry said that this was just a little bit. These arrow rains and the string control men of the Turks were almost ignited. Of course, excellent Turkic soldiers could shoot a pot of arrows in just ten breaths. The correct head depends on luck. The crude bows and arrows are not enough to make their accurate heads high.

After the folding shield blocked, a crackling sound of golden sounds sounded from the Tang army formation, like a storm, hitting banana leaves wildly.

Chen Ying shouted coldly: "The whole army will get on the horse and crush these idiots to death!"

The yellow smoke slowly drifted into the Zheng army's archers formation. Wang Shichong, who was originally doubting the effect of the poisonous smoke, was surprised to find that the Zheng army soldiers gave up the archery.

It was not because the Zheng army soldiers were exhausted, but because the poisonous smoke was too strong. They coughed continuously, and their noses and tears flowed. The Zheng army's archers were in chaos, and the Zheng army's spears and spears were in chaos. What's more important is that Wang Shichong believed Wang Renze's words at this time.

At the instigation of Wang Renze, Wang Shichong and Wang Xuanying slowly retreated towards Luoyang.

Fortunately, Wang Shichong was quite conscientious and sent someone to notify Zhu Can.

Many sharp-eyed Zheng soldiers found that Wang Shichong's Da Tao was slowly retreating, and they also turned around and ran with Wang Shichong.

As a result, the formation of the entire Zheng army became even more chaotic, just like a headless fly, running around.

Chen Ying pointed forward with his sword: "Lavender, let this general kill these idiots..."

"Throw these idiots to death!"

The lances all let out a violent roar, put on the flat hook and sickle, and instigated the war horses, like a black hurricane, rushing towards the Zheng army that was in chaos.
