I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 692: The Divine Cannon Shows Its Power Again
Although no casualties were caused due to the power of the bows and arrows, it was undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of this mob and brought them great pressure.

Just like that, after several rounds of volleys from the Tang soldiers, deserters began to appear in the refugee group under Jianzhou City. One deserter is not scary, what is scary is the chain reaction it causes.

Mahara in the rear was so angry that he quickly sent out the supervision team from the rear.

Finally, after the supervision team killed dozens of retreating refugees, the refugees' escape was stopped.

Li Zheng looked at the chaos outside Jianzhou City and the somewhat sloppily made siege equipment by the Tartars, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The Tatars were indeed not very good at engineering. Normally they would lay sieges rather than attack, waiting until the enemy's food supplies in the city were cut off. That was when they would show their fangs.

But the current situation is that the Zhengbai Banner has been destroyed, and Mahara believes that he has an absolute advantage, so naturally he doesn't have that patience.

Under the city of Jianzhou, with the appearance of the supervision team, the refugees pushed the siege equipment and slowly advanced to the vicinity of Jianzhou City.

In fact, this was also tacitly approved by Li Kan. Otherwise, how could these refugees easily reach the city under the attack of the Tang Dynasty soldiers?

Finally, the first siege chariot collided violently with Jianzhou City. The chariot was extremely heavy and was firmly fixed on the city wall as soon as it came into contact with it.

After completing their task, the refugees under the city fled backwards like crazy. Li Kan did not make things difficult for them and let them run away.

The first one, the second one.

As more and more siege weapons were connected to Jianzhou City, the tyranny in Mahala's eyes became almost tangible.

Finally, after more than 80% of the siege equipment was connected to Jianzhou City, Mahala gave the order to attack.

The main force in this battle was still Lin's elite army under Mahara, the Bordered Yellow Banner, while the other six banners only sent their disaffected troops to assist.

On the field, with Mahala's order, the entire Yellow Banner began to move.

They were divided into groups of 300 people each and took turns to attack Jianzhou City.

They did not just charge forward blindly. Behind every charge of one team of Niulu there was always another team of Niulu providing cover.

In Jianzhou City, Li Zheng and Li Kan watched the cooperation between the two teams of Niulu and nodded with some appreciation.

As the elite of the Qing court, the Eight Banners Army still had some capabilities.

When Li Kan sent out all his troops of the Bordered Yellow Banner, he had already ordered the Shenwu cannon to be placed on the city wall of Jianzhou.

On the other side, Mahala was the first to notice the appearance of the Tang Dynasty's Shenwu Cannon, but he did not take it seriously.

There were no major breakthroughs in the development of firearms during this era, and their lethality against elite troops was only average.

Li Kan was only able to remain patient and wait until most of the soldiers of the Bordered Yellow Banner were within the range of the Shenwu cannon before he gave the order.

"put."

With Li Kan's order, the Shenwu cannon spewed out terrifying shells.

For the sake of not alerting the enemy, Li Kan did not fire all the Shenwu cannons.

The Shenwu cannon of the Tang Dynasty had been updated and replaced several times by the slaves of the Ministry of Works led by Kaiji, and its power had already reached an exaggerated level.

As the shells fired by the first Shenwu cannon exploded directly among a team of 300 Niulu in Jianzhou City, the Tatars realized that they had underestimated the power of the artillery.

The 300 Niulu were killed or injured on the spot, and the horrific fragments were scattered everywhere, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the Bordered Yellow Banner. Half of the 300 Niulu were killed on the spot.

But at this point, the Tatars of the Bordered Yellow Banner naturally could not give up halfway, and the death of their companions further aroused their ferocity.

The surviving Tatars seemed to be energized by chicken blood, and they rushed towards Jianzhou City at a faster speed, howling.

Li Kan did not expect that these Tartars were so fearless of death, and he immediately shouted.

"Well come."

The next moment, the Tang Dynasty's Shenwu cannons had no reservations anymore, and all 3,000 Shenwu cannons fired at full force. The roars from the Shenwu cannons became one and the same, as if the god of thunder in the sky was roaring.

Under the power of the Shenwu Cannon, large areas of land in Jianzhou City and the Eight Banners Army were almost completely blown up by the Shenwu Cannon's shells.

The field was filled with smoke and flames, and the cries of the soldiers of the Bordered Yellow Banner could be heard everywhere.

The Tatars who were screaming loudly were stunned by the explosion. They only felt that they rushed forward screaming and crashed into an indestructible city wall.

At this point, their courage and bravery were completely destroyed by the powerful cannon.

Such terrifying power also shocked Mahala. He hurriedly gave the order to retreat, but it was too late.

The Tang Dynasty had been patient for a long time, so it would not easily let the Bordered Yellow Banner escape.

Suddenly, the gates of Jianzhou City opened wide.

Li Zheng, dressed in black armor, took the lead and rushed towards the soldiers of the Bordered Yellow Banner who were stunned by the explosion on the field.

Behind Li Zheng were 50,000 elite cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty. It was undeniable that an emperor leading the charge brought a terrifying bonus effect to this cavalry. They followed Li Zheng, the only leader in their hearts, and killed towards the enemy.

The frightened soldiers of the Bordered Yellow Banner on the field couldn't help but feel a sense of despair when they saw this scene.

As they toasted, the Shenwu cannons on Jianzhou City blew away their troops, and their morale was low. The next moment they were faced with an elite Tang cavalry. Their fate was sealed, and they could not escape death.

Mahara, who was standing by, was delighted instead of surprised when he saw Li Zheng, dressed in black armor, going out of the city to fight.

Mahara just felt that the Huaxia army in the city was too stupid. They relied on their strong city and powerful artillery to severely damage the Yellow Banner. He had no choice but to choose to withdraw temporarily and make long-term plans.

But they were probably blinded by victory and chose to fight outside the city, which undoubtedly played into Mahala's hands.

Mahara was naturally extremely confident in the field combat capabilities of his Eight Banners Army, and it was precisely by virtue of their invincible field combat that they entered the Central Plains.

Just when Li Zheng led the 50,000 Tang cavalry to wantonly massacre the remnants of the Bordered Yellow Banner, Mahara had already organized an Eight Banners cavalry of about 70,000 people.

Looking at the arrogant Tang cavalry, Mahara couldn't help but grit his teeth and muttered fiercely.

"This flag leader will make you people from the Central Plains pay the price." As soon as he finished speaking, Mahala waved his hand and personally led 78,000 cavalry of the Banner Army to rush onto the field.

Li Zheng's perception was naturally not bad. When the Eight Banners Army gathered, he had already noticed something was wrong.

However, Li Zheng didn't care. He personally led the army to attack not against the remnants of the defeated army. His fundamental purpose was to lead the Tang Dynasty cavalry to have a real showdown with the Eight Banners cavalry.
