Chapter 165 to General Ben to kill these fools

"Chen'er is killing herself!" Wang Shichong's mood is like riding a roller coaster, of course, if Wang Shichong has been on it. Originally, Wang Shichong was going to annihilate Li Shimin's department, but Chen Ying unknowingly killed him under his nose. Chen Ying successively routed his bow and arrow formations and Hu cavalry troops.

There were only more than 10,000 cavalry under his command, of which 5,000 cavalry were in Wang Shiyun's hands, and more than 5,000 were placed by his side. As a result, the five thousand cavalry did not hold out for even a moment in front of Chen Ying. Today, more than 3,000 of the 5,000 Hu cavalry have been killed or wounded, and they have completely lost their combat effectiveness. Although Wang Shichong is a Hu person, he is not very worried about the loss of Hu cavalry, there are still 20,000 or 30,000 Hu people living in Luoyang, and almost all of these people are natural cavalry, and they are qualified cavalrymen when they are caught, and even horses can be saved.

Wang Shichong was still worried about how to deal with Chen Ying's cavalry, but Chen Ying ran to the bottom of Longmen Canyon and joined Li Shimin.

Chen Ying was ashamed to say that he wanted to fight Wang Shichong to the death, which was really ridiculous.

At this time, the sky has brightened, the line of sight has gradually broadened, the Zheng army soldiers on the Daqing Mountain are densely packed, and they begin to adjust the firing angle, and the archers are also aimed at the cavalry under Chen Ying, these cavalry are different from the Xuanjia cavalry, the Xuanjia cavalry has equipment, not only to prevent arrows, but also to defend against swords, axes and spears.

However, the lancers under Chen Ying's command did not have horse armor, not to mention slashing with knives and axes, even arrows could cause damage to them. But Chen Ying has no sense of being ambushed.

The heavy color on Li Shimin's face fell in Li Xiuning's eyes, Li Xiuning naturally understood Li Shimin's worries, she stepped forward and patted Li Shimin's arm and said, "Second brother, don't worry, Chen Lang, he won't fight a battle that he is not sure of!" ”

Li Shimin's eyes were fixed on the high-spirited hook and sickle lancers. This is indeed a rare elite, well-equipped, and morale-high, far surpassing any army he has encountered before, and probably only the Xuanjia cavalry can compare with them. It's just a pity that the Xuanjia cavalry is all folded here, and even Zhai Changsun died in the canyon, and he didn't even get the body back. But he didn't have the confidence to eat them in one bite!

Wang Xuanying watched Chen Ying's department enter the bottom of the canyon and laughed loudly: "Chen Ying'er is also a rammer!" ”

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!" ”

"Breakout?" Chen Ying shook his head and said: "I never want to break through, I still want to cut off Wang Shichong's head!" Chen Ying turned to the hook and sickle lancer beside him and said, "The whole army is ready, throw out the poisonous smoke bombs, and attack immediately!" ”

At that moment, the hook-sickle lancers pulled out of the coat around their horses' necks what looked like half a gourd, and put them on each other. At this time, the hook and sickle lancers have turned into monsters, as if everyone is wearing a pig-nosed mask.

Li Shimin asked in surprise: "What are they ......?"

"Gas masks!" Li Xiuning also took out two identical things from the neck of the war horse.

At that moment, the Hook Scythe pulled out several more of what looked like meteor hammers. Unlike the Meteor Hammer, the chain of this Meteor Hammer is not iron, but a piso. The hammer head is also not iron, it seems to be a clay pot. And it also carries a fuse made of linen.

Li Shimin looked at the meteor hammer in the hands of the hook and sickle cavalry in disbelief, and said in surprise: "That's it?" Will it be so powerful? ”

"Poisonous fire bombs, as long as you inhale four or five mouthfuls of poisonous smoke, they will be dizzy, if you inhale too much, they will be poisoned, and they will bleed to death...... Li Xiuning smiled slightly: "Fortunately, I have already prepared to wear an extra one." ”

As he spoke, Li Xiuning put this mask like a pig's nose on Li Shimin's head.

Li Shimin was skeptical, and when he put on the gas mask, he felt a little difficult to breathe, but his vision was seriously blocked. Nothing else has an effect.

As for the remnants of the other Xuanjia cavalry, or generals such as Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Zhijie, and Qin Qiong, Li Xiuning had no choice but to say that he couldn't help.

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

Chen Zhiluo looked at the back and forth movement of the Tang army soldiers as if no one was around, and was a little annoyed: "These Tang dogs have eaten leopard gall, they dare to be so arrogant!" Your Majesty, the last general asks to bring a group of elite soldiers to rush and kill, and give them a little color! ”

Just returned to Wang Shichong's side, Zhu Cang, who had not had time to catch his breath, glared at Chen Zhiluo fiercely, the name of Zhu Cang's ogre demon king was not blown out. Zhu Cang initially served as an adjutant in Chengfu County (present-day Bozhou, Anhui). In December of the 11th year of the Great Cause (615), when Zhu Cang accompanied the army to conquer the rebel army in Changbai Mountain (located in the south of Zouping, Shandong), he fled and gathered people to make trouble, known as the "Dahan thief", Zhu Cang proclaimed himself the king of Jialuo, with more than 100,000 people.

In the first month of the second year of Wude (619), when Zhu Cang had 200,000 troops, plundered between the Han River and the Huai River, and the migration of the tribes was irregular. And there was no focus on agriculture, so there was a great famine, and the bones of people who died of starvation were piled up, and people ate people. Zhu Cang's army had nothing to plunder, and there was a shortage of food in the army, so Zhu Cang 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 works of the Sui Dynasty, Zuo Lang Lu Congdian, and Yan Zhitui's son, Yan Shuchu, all lived in Nanyang because of the demotion of officials. At first, Zhu Cang invited them to be his guests, but when Zhu Cang lacked food, he ate both of them.

In fact, in the entire Zheng State, except for Wang Shichong, all the sons and nephews or other nobles, including Wang Renze, there was no one who was not afraid of Zhu Cang, who was glared at by Zhu Cang, Chen Zhiluo was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, and quickly retreated to the side.

Zhu Cang said this; "Your Majesty, this Tang army is full of strangeness, according to the minister's opinion, it should still be cautious!"

Wang Shichong nodded and said, "Not bad!" ”

At this moment, Wang Ren looked at the Hook and Sickle Lancer soldier holding the meteor hammer emitting yellow smoke in his hand, and his face changed in shock.

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

Wang Ren said: "Your Majesty, retreat, this is Chen Ying'er's poisonous smoke, they are releasing poisonous smoke......

Wang Renze's voice revealed a deep sense of fear.

Zhu Cang didn't give Wang Renze any face, and said disapprovingly: "Poisonous smoke? The poisonous smoke of the fart, they throw it hard, how far can they throw, someone will shoot it for me......"

At this moment, bang bang bang ......

A series of muffled sounds sounded, and tens of thousands of meteor hammers, whirling in the air, flew towards the Zheng army. It's just a pity, as Zhu Cang expected, even with the help of the meteor hammer-style piso, these poisonous smoke balls are still thrown fifty or sixty steps away, and very few can be thrown to seventy or eighty steps, but at this time, the Zheng army soldiers are still a hundred steps away from the Tang army, and these tens of thousands of poisonous fireballs have not even injured a single Zheng army soldier.

When Li Shimin saw this scene, he was slightly disappointed, and sighed: "It's a pity! ”

Chen Ying smiled disapprerovingly: "His Royal Highness King Qin doesn't know, this poisonous smoke doesn't 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, but it is easy to lose the effect, and the current distance is just .........."

Besides, Chen Ying still didn't say a word.

The convection of the air is bottom-up, and the flue gas is also hot air, and the density of hot air is lighter than that of moist air, so the hot air will slowly float up.

In fact, these poisonous smoke balls are a miniature version of the wolf poison smoke of the Song Dynasty, each of the wolf poison smoke of the Song Dynasty weighs five catties, and must rely on a trebuchet to launch, and Chen Ying's poisonous smoke ball plus Piso, the total weight is eighteen taels, about one catty or more. It is similar to the weight of the six or seven wooden handle hand bullets in later generations.

In order to support combustion, Chen should increase the proportion of saltpeter in the poisonous smoke ball. The poisonous smoke balls made of clay pots fell to the ground, even if they were broken, large strands of yellow smoke rolled up like a roaring yellow dragon, and tens of thousands of poisonous smoke balls were neatly released in just ten breaths of effort, and the entire Longmen Canyon was more than ten miles long, and suddenly thick smoke billowed out, like a fairyland.

The bows and arrows of the Zheng army also sounded at the same time, and with the sound of vibrating strings, dense arrows began to fly towards Chen Ying's department.

However, these hooked scythes said that this was only a small meaning. Of course, the excellent Turkic soldiers can shoot a pot of arrows in just ten breaths, and it depends on luck. Shoddy bows and arrows, how high you want them to be.

After the blocking of the folding shield, a crackling golden sound sounded in the Tang army's array, like a torrential rain, beating the banana leaves.

Chen Ying coldly shouted: "The whole army is on the horse, and this group of fools will be crushed to death for General Ben!" ”

Yellow smoke slowly drifted into the Zheng army's archer formation. Wang Shichong, who was still skeptical about the effect of poisonous smoke, was surprised to find that the soldiers of the Zheng army had unanimously given up archery.

It's not because the soldiers of Zheng Jun are physically exhausted, but the poisonous smoke is too powerful, they can't stop coughing, and their noses and tears are flowing sideways. Zheng Jun's archer formation was out of order, and Zheng Jun's spearmen were also out of order. What's more critical 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 in the direction of Luoyang.

Fortunately, Wang Shichong was more conscientious, and sent someone to inform Zhu Cang.

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

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

Chen Ying's horizontal knife pointed forward: "Lancers, kill these fools for General Ben......"

"Kill these fools!"

The lancers let out a violent roar in unison, flattened their hooked sickles, and instigated their horses, like a black hurricane, and rushed straight towards the chaotic Zheng army.
