Chapter 273: Dead corpses on the ground where the gun is heading

Message transmission has always been the most difficult problem. However, the message transmission in Datang is still very fast. The wheels are fast, especially the eight-car Xiaoji. Each group of two people, a total of sixteen people, can sail more than a thousand miles a day and one night.

Originally, the center of the Tang Dynasty was always focused on the northwest and Bashu, so naturally there was no place to use its power. When it could capture Hebei, it could go directly from the water along the Yongji Canal. This allowed the Tang Dynasty weapons supervisor to renovate the eight-car steamer with a winged boat. The winged boat was an ancient warship, which was made from the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. The ships were divided into two types: large wings and small wings. The characteristic is that the hull is slender and the speed is very fast.

The winged warship needs to be equipped with thirty pulpmen, and thirty people paddle hard at the same time. If it is downstream, it can run at a speed of fourteen or fifteen knots. After the wheel set can be installed, even if it is countercurrent, it can run at a speed of sixteen or seventeen knots. If it is downstream, it can basically reach eighteen or nine knots.

Then the question is. What happened to Chen Ying in Shahe, Luozhou can run to Li Yuan in Chang'an in just over a day. This heart-wrenching war has already given Li Yuan a lot of headaches. Finally, he coaxed the Turks to not interfere in this war, but he was still hypocritical and snake with Dou Jiande.

If Chen Ying took advantage of the emptiness of Mingzhou and attacked Mingzhou, Li Yuan would agree very much. But now, Liu Heita has arrived in Mingzhou, and Gao Yaxian has also arrived in Mingzhou. With the previous Dong Kangmai and Wang Xiaohu and Dou Jiande's famous generals, they have all gone to Mingzhou at this moment.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Mingzhou belongs to the hinterland of Hebei. Dou Jiande's reinforcements can continuously support Mingzhou, but Chen Ying could hardly receive support from the Tang Dynasty. Now Chen Ying is blocking the front, and the entire Henan and Jingxiang are all from the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty is busy sending officials to various states to restore the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan can't afford to lose now. When Xiao Shiwen and Xiao Xiangguo said this, Li Yuan became nervous again.

Seeing Li Yuan hesitating, Chen Shuda said, "Your Majesty, otherwise, order General Chen to return to Chang'an and hand over the army to the commander of His Highness the King of Huai'an. Now there is not much time left before His Highness Pingyang's wedding, so General Chen should be asked to return to Beijing to prepare for the wedding!"

Chen Ying was different from the past at this time. He and Li Xiuning were about to get married. At this time, no one who was blinded dared to give Chen Ying an eye drop. Now offending Chen Ying is equivalent to offending Princess Pingyang. Offending Prince Pingyang is equivalent to offending His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness the King of Qin, and the entire court cannot gain a foothold.

Li Yuan was also very worried. Chen Ying had the last mobile force of the Li Tang court in his hand. Once Lingzhou changes, he still hoped that Chen Ying's troops could go north to resolve the danger. You should know that Li Jiancheng had transferred the troops from Qingzhou and Jingzhou to Hedong. Now, in the entire northwest, in addition to Lingzhou, there are four troops from Zhechong Prefecture. Once the Turks suddenly attack and break through Lingzhou, they can sweep down.

By that time, the Turkic army would likely be under Chang'an City. Thinking of this, Li Yuan was suddenly a little panicked: "Pei Jian, look, what should I do about this?"

As Li Yuan's good friend, Pei Ji knew that Li Yuan was thinking of a truce when he listened to Li Yuan's tone. Liu Heita was a brave general under Dou Jiande, and he had never been defeated since surrendering to Dou Jiande. Moreover, at this time, Liu Heita's troops were more than three times that of Chen Ying.

If the decisive battle is won, it would be fine. But once it fails, the situation in the Tang Dynasty will turn straight. Not only does the situation in Hebei collapse, but even the Central Plains will be difficult to save. Although Qu Tutong still has 50,000 or 60,000 troops under his command, no one has any confidence in how much morale these remnants and whether they can fight.

Pei Ji thought for a while and said, "Please give an order to let Prince Chen return to Beijing to prepare for the marriage!"

When the ministers heard this, they hurriedly knelt down to Li Yuan: "Please give your majesty the order to let Mr. Chen return to Beijing to get married!"

Just when Li Yuan made up his mind to let Chu Suiliang draft an order to return to Beijing to get married, Chen Ying had already led the left guard of the East Palace, the right guard of the East Palace, the Modao Army, the cavalry army, and the sound of shooting, and rushed towards Mingzhou City.

At this time, the decisive battle between the two sides was Guangnian Town. Although Guangnian Town was called a town, it was actually Quliang County during the Han Dynasty.

However, due to climate reasons, Quliang County was abandoned and moved into the current Mingzhou. However, because it was the former Guangping County and county government, when building the city walls in ancient times, lime would be used to tamp flat ground. Therefore, there was a wasteland of about ten miles in Guangnian Town. These steamed lime soil still could not grow crops even after hundreds of years.

Using an empty area as a battle site is something that both sides agree.

Although the army had not yet arrived at Guangnian Town 30 miles away, the war had actually begun since the moment Chen Ying's army left the camp, and the scouts from both sides had begun to fight for the initiative on the battlefield.

However, Chen Ying did not play according to common sense. Seeing that the scout was at a loss, he ordered Zhang Shigui to split a regiment to help the scout retreat.

The Cavalry Hook and Scythe Lancer Cavalry Regiment appeared on the battlefield and immediately lined up in dense formations as Pingyang's training, holding the Cavalry Lancer's wall, advancing like a wall. For the attack of the Xia army's scouts, it was not a problem for the Cavalry Hook and Scythe Lancer Cavalry.

The sound of horse hooves as dense as thunder sounded, and the cold light flashed on the tip of the hook, sickle, and gun. The gun's spear, which was more than three feet long, was instantly stunned by the huge kinetic energy of the war horses as they ran.

The sharp hook, sickle, spear, spear, effortlessly tore the body of the Xia cavalry scout. The sound of sharp blades tearing the flesh of the Xia army's scouts sounded one after another. The horizontal swords or sabers equipped by the Xia army's scouts were stabbed off the war horse by the hook, sickle, before they even had time to use the knife.

A stream of dirty blood ejaculated from his chest. The stabbed Xia cavalry scouted his eyes and looked at the wound with blood gushing wildly on his chest in disbelief, falling down with shock and unwillingness. Many of them were lucky enough to avoid the attack of the first row of hook and sickle guns, passed through the gap between the cavalry walls, and survived from death, but they immediately discovered that this was not something to be happy about, because there was still a second row of hook and sickle guns waiting for them. Even if their character exploded, they avoided this row again, and there was a row behind them!

When the hook and sickle lances charge, they usually form a row in brigades, with a regiment of three hundred people. Fortunately, the scouts of the Xia army did not encounter a large unit of the cavalry, but this was just a hook and sickle lances cavalry regiment.

However, the Xia army scouts had no chance to be lucky. Many of them were extremely frustrated and killed on the layers of hook and sickle spears. They were able to dodge three rows of hook and sickle spears in succession and rushed out of the cavalry wall safely. There were very few people who could escape the three rows of hook and sickle spears in succession and rushed out of the cavalry wall safely.

The cavalry wall rumbled forward, and the three cavalry walls swept through like strong wind. Wherever they went, the Xia cavalry scouts were all taken off their horses, and the guns were at the sight of them, and the bodies were dead on the ground.

These Xia cavalry scouts who had originally planned to kill and injure the Tang army had no courage at all. They really couldn't raise the courage to face this evil cavalry. In desperation, they had to run back to report the situation to Liu Heita.

At this time, Chen Ying and Su Dingfang rode their horses side by side and looked at the battlefield. Chen Ying smiled proudly and said, "General Su, how about it, my cavalry is still powerful, right?"

When Su Dingfang saw it for the first time, he actually felt a storm. However, he concealed it very well, and even Chen Ying did not notice it. At this time, he was shocked and extremely ugly. Su Dingfang showed a smile that was ugly than crying and said: "General Chen is brave, and his infantry and cavalry are unparalleled. He is indeed well-known."

"How are you thinking?" Chen Ying pointed to the Xia army scout from afar and said, "After this battle, I can seize a lot of war horses. At that time, the six Zhechong Mansions of the Cavalry will definitely be expanded. Are you interested in becoming my Cavalry General?"
