Chapter 960: King Lu's Defeat

"You dare to treat us who are famous and famous like this?" A man who looked like an old juren fell to the ground, his eyes could no longer be opened, his fingers trembled, pointed at him randomly, and said vaguely.

"Famous and fame?" Li Guodong sneered, "Famous and fame are not something that cannot be deprived. If you dare to go to Nanjing, you only need to supervise the country and deprive you of fame and fame, and you will be left with a white body? If you are unfortunate, you will go to Nanjing to cause trouble even if you are determined to do your own thing!"

During the Ming Dynasty, people with fame and fortune could not kneel when they saw officials, but they ignored one thing: scholars could not kneel when they saw the county magistrate, but they would never dare to offend the prefect, because the prefect could allow the censor to deprive scholars of the scholars; scholars could not kneel when they saw the prefect, but high-ranking officials such as provincial governors or governors could deprive them of their fame; tributes, Jinshi and above, the emperor could deprive them of their fame.

That means that the emperor is the biggest in the world. As long as the emperor is willing, he can deprive anyone of his fame and fame.

In the past three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, there were really not many people deprived of fame by the emperor. The most famous example is Tang Yin, that is, Tang Bohu. Because it was involved in the imperial examination, he was not only kicked down, arrested and imprisoned, but also deprived Tang Bohu of his juren by Emperor Hongzhi.

Li Guodong continued with a sneer: "Everyone is a person with fame and fortune, please cherish your fame and fortune!"

Someone shouted: "Don't listen to this eunuch! The Queen Mother dared not! So many people came to Beijing to write letters, even the Emperor did not dare to deprive so many of them of their fame at once, let alone the empress dowager who was injustice and was inappropriate!"

Li Guodong sneered: "Since you are unwilling to listen to the sincere advice of your country, then you can go to Beijing! Don't regret it after you go! Brothers! Make a way out and let them go to Beijing! But it is only for those who have fame and fortune, and the rest of the idle people are not allowed to follow!"

The Huai Army made way for a road and let a group of people pass, but it was limited to scholars with fame. After the scholars passed, the Huai Army blocked the road again, and did not allow those slaves or tenants to pass, let alone King Lu's army.

Of course, some people tried to get involved in scholars and get through the test, but were caught by the dedicated Jinyiwei.

"Let me go! Let me go! I am the book boy of the Sun family. I have to follow the young master and take care of the young master!" A half dozen children, about fifteen or sixteen, were held down by the Jinyiwei, but they were still struggling and shouting non-stop.

"The prince said that those who have fame and fortune can pass by, where is your fame?" A Jinyiwei snorted coldly.

"Although the villain has no fame, our young master cannot take care of me! If the villain doesn't follow him, who will serve our young master?" The young man begged hard.

"Bah! Your young master? A waste without any power! Such a waste is not known for his use in life!" Xu Liang, a Qianhu, the Jinyiwei, sneered.

Many scholars and servants were intercepted. It can be imagined what kind of life those scholars who were powerless and could not even take care of their own lives would live after entering Beijing.

Besides, King Lu ran away long ago when the situation was not good. Although King Lu had an army of 20,000, he was still quite self-aware. Although there were only more than 10,000 people on the opposite side, the opponent was all elite soldiers who had experienced many battles. Those people on the opposite side were elite veterans who fought with the Tartars. He said, "The Jurchens are not as satisfied as ten thousand, and they are invincible." When the opponent faced Jiannu, they won many battles under the same military conditions and had never lost. Doesn't this mean that the more than 10,000 people on the opposite side are truly invincible in the world? How dare King Lu fight the Huai Army?

But when King Lu wanted to run away, it would have to see whether Li Guodong agreed or not. He did not start a war with King Lu before, because King Lu used scholars as a shield and then led the people to enter Beijing together. Li Guodong was not a murderous devil, and he was unwilling to kill innocent people indiscriminately, so he took some relatively mild suppression measures to separate scholars and King Lu's army.

At this time, only King Lu's 20,000 people were left. Will Li Guodong be afraid of them?

Three thousand cavalrymen began to chase after him and caught up from behind King Lu.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good. Li Ni's army is chasing you! It's the cavalry that are chasing you." Youye Busuo fled back, and reported to King Lu in a pissed manner.

"Prince, go quickly, the subordinates lead the army to stop them." General Fang Guoandao.

"Okay, General Fang, I'll ask you here!" After King Lu said that, he took more than a thousand guards from the royal palace, one by one, two horses, and fled with light horses, leaving Fang Guoan and 20,000 troops behind and cut behind.

Not long after, Li Guodong's cavalry caught up.

"Arrange the array, don't let Li Ni's cavalry rush up!" Fang Guoan shouted.

As a general officer, Fang Guoan is certainly very clear that if the infantry did not form a formation, not to mention 20,000 infantry, I am afraid that even if there are 100,000 infantry in a formation, they will be vulnerable to the cavalry.

Seeing Fang Guoan's army forming a formation, Li Guodong certainly could not let his elite heavy cavalry hit the spear formation of Lu Wang's army foolishly, but let the heavy cavalry circle around the phalanx of Lu Wang's army. Many of this cavalry have been equipped with short guns, but there are also many bird gunners in Lu Wang's army. The short gun range of the cavalry is close. If it wants to enter the short gun range, then the cavalry is already within the range of the bird gun first. Li Guodong doesn't want to lose his precious cavalry because of dealing with such garbage army.

Not long after, the artillery arrived.

The artillery units of the Huai Army were elite field artillery equipped with good horses and artillery chariots. This artillery was mainly made of three-pound copper cannons, as well as twelve-pound howitzers and six-pound field cannons. Artillery tracted by Sharma only needed one horse to pull a ammunition chariot with ammunition chariots, and also rode wildly with five gunners' three-pound cannons or twelve-pound howitzers. Even the heaviest six-pound field cannons, they only needed two Sharmas to pull away easily.

After the artillery was in place, Li Guodong ordered the cannons to be set up and prepare to bombard the Lu Wang army.

The cavalry no longer circulates around the phalanx of Lu Wang's army, but guards in front of the artillery to protect the safety of the artillery so as not to charge against its own artillery.

"Fire the cannon!" With Zhang Shiwen's order, six-pound field cannons and three-pound field cannons spit out their flames, and rows of shells hit the dense crowd of Lu Wang soldiers. Hail-like shells fell into the crowd of Lu Wang soldiers, and immediately pulled out crooked flesh-and-blood alleys, and the Lu Wang soldiers' infantry fell down in pieces screaming.

After the gunners fired a round of shells, they started loading quickly. In less than a minute, the second round of shells began, and another round of shells roared away, killing Lu Wang's army with flesh and blood.

The infantry that arrived in time, regardless of the fatigue of the marching, took advantage of their own shelling opponents and launched a fierce offensive against King Lu's army without even resting.

"Kill!" Thousands of infantry shouted, and charged for the formation of King Lu's army.

The infantry formation of Lu Wang's army, which had been bombarded by the Huai Army artillery for three rounds, had completely collapsed. When the Huai Army infantry rushed up, Lu Wang's army infantry dropped their artillery and turned around and ran away.

"Cabin, kill! Fight away the artillery soldiers of the thief!" Li Guodong pointed forward in his hand.

Three thousand cavalry charged, and the horse's hooves stepped on the ground, making a deafening sound of impact. Three thousand cavalry were like a torrent of steel, rushing towards the artillery of King Lu's army.

"The artillery of the Luwang army hurriedly ignited the artillery, regardless of whether it was accurate to fire. After firing the shells out, they discarded the artillery and turned around and fled with the defeated infantry.
