Chapter 700: Night attack on Tang army was defeated
However, the confidence he had in doing so was naturally the strength of his generals. The two generals, Liu Sheng, the cavalry general, and Liu Lin, the vanguard general, guarded him on both sides, giving an appearance of keeping strangers away.

"Hmph, you bastard, I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise I will definitely exterminate your entire clan."

Aobai said with a cold snort.

"Hahaha…"

Li Zheng laughed and said sarcastically: "Old man, if your cheap emperor was here, you might have some confidence to say this, but you, a small and powerful official, dare to be so arrogant."

"I bother."

Aobai spat on the ground and said angrily: "You bastard, today I will take your life to avenge my sons of the Qing Dynasty."

Li Zheng had a sarcastic smile on his face when he heard this: "Revenge for them, huh, you are not worthy."

"kill."

Following Li Zheng's order, countless Tang Dynasty soldiers swarmed out in an instant.

"All troops, listen up and meet the enemy!"

Oboi roared loudly, but his Tartar soldiers showed no weakness.

"kill!"

The Tatar cavalry and the firearms battalion cavalry were intertwined and the fighting was extremely fierce.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Da da da!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The Tatar soldiers are indeed elite, they are well-trained and each of them seems to have undergone rigorous cavalry training.

Especially their riding skills, which are superb.

But the Tang army was not weak either. Although they were inferior to the Tatars in terms of combat skills, each of them was a martial arts master. As long as they were not kite-ed by the Eight Banners cavalry, they could easily fight ten enemies at once.

As a veteran general in the army, Oboi could see at a glance that the space for the Tang army’s camp was too narrow.

In this case, Li Zheng's tens of thousands of flintlock musket troops would definitely not be able to be deployed. After all, artillery weapons must have a wide field of view, otherwise they may not be able to defeat the enemy, or even accidentally injure their own people.

So he hurriedly ordered, "Pass my order, the Eight Banners Cavalry stop the frontal charge, and outflank from the left and right wings again, and trap these Tang troops here to death."

"As ordered."

The Tatar cavalry quickly changed direction and rushed towards Li Zheng's central army.

The Tang army was in a dilemma because their muskets and artillery were blocked by Oboi and his men.

The distance between the two sides continued to shorten, and the Tang army felt increasingly disadvantaged.

Aobai took the opportunity to shout, "You bastard, you still have a chance if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel and merciless."

"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to kill me, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it."

Li Zheng contradicted Oboi without any hesitation.

He was not a reckless man. He knew that the Tartar cavalry was very powerful. It would be dangerous if they surrounded him. However, it would be better if he did not give them the chance to surround him.

"You bastard, stop trying to talk nonsense and give me your life."

After saying that, Oboi raised his sword and swung it. The Tatar cavalry had already reached the two wings of the Tang army, and immediately launched an attack after hearing Oboi's order.

"kill!"

The Tatar cavalry were as ferocious as tigers. They marched straight in and were instantly entangled with Li Zheng's army.

"Protect Your Majesty."

As soon as Zhao Ming gave an order, hundreds of guards and soldiers rushed up behind him.

They were wearing iron armor and holding various weapons, and looked towards the Tatar cavalry.

“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”

The Tatar cavalry were not afraid at all. They also fought with the guards with weapons in hand.

The Tatar cavalry were large and strong, with excellent martial arts skills, and they were not at a disadvantage in the fight with the guards.

On the other side, Oboi had already rushed towards Li Zheng.

His goal was very simple, which was to behead Li Zheng.

Aobai's idea was good, but how could Li Zheng give in so easily? Liu Sheng and Liu Lin rushed out with swords without saying a word. The tens of thousands of Tang soldiers behind them were all acquired strong men, and they instantly pushed the main force of the Tartar back hundreds of steps.

"Haha, you're really desperate, old thief!"

There was a flash of cruelty on Li Zheng's face, and he just sat on his horse unmoved, which made Oboi even more furious.

In a rage, Oboi ordered 50,000 troops to push forward without reservation. He wanted to take advantage of the narrow space in front of the Tang army camp and the lack of timely support to completely entangle Li Zheng.

Once Li Zheng was killed, the Tang army would inevitably collapse.

It’s just that the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny.

Li Zheng looked at Aobai who was trying hard to break through, but the Tartar couldn't even advance fifty steps, and said to Li Kan.

"Li Kan, the Tartar cavalry has fallen into a trap. Have the flintlock troops load their rifles and fire in a fan-shaped pattern. Make sure to cover the Tartar cavalry with 90% firepower."

"I obey your order." Li Kan immediately responded with a bow.

Then he drew the sword from his waist and shouted, "Flintlock soldiers, prepare to fire."

"Click——"

As Li Kan swung the sword in his hand, the flintlock soldiers pulled the triggers in unison.

“Puff, puff, puff…”

After bursts of dense gunfire, countless blood spurted out.

In one round of volleys, thousands of Tatar cavalry were killed.

"Asshole."

Seeing this, Aobai cursed: "Archers, release your arrows!"

"Whoosh whoosh."

Immediately, the Tatar cavalry archers drew their bows and drew their arrows, shooting wildly at the Tang army's formation, but it was of no use.

Unless it is a hot weapon that can cause damage, the wooden arrows hitting the Tang army's Qi defense are no different from tickling, at most they will scratch the skin.

"How is it possible? How can their musketeers form a battle formation in the dense forest?"

Oboi watched helplessly as his elite Eight Banners were slaughtered like pigs and dogs, with bullets often even piercing through several Tartars.

He had never encountered such a situation before.

No wonder the Tang army has always had the advantage, it turns out they have such sharp long-range weapons.

Abahai finally realized that the other side had been hiding its strength. Not only were they equipped with a large number of flintlock rifles, but they also had such powerful archers under their command.

"Aobai, old thief, prepare to die."

At this moment, Li Zheng saw that the Tartar cavalry had lost their ability to resist, so he didn't bother to continue acting and directly led his men to rush out to kill.

"Protect Your Majesty."

Liu Sheng and Liu Lin followed Li Zheng in the attack. Their martial arts were considered top-notch in the Tang army, and Oboi was no match for them.

"Damn it."

Oboi cursed inwardly and immediately fled on his horse.

"Where are you running to, old thief Aobai?"

After Liu Sheng and Liu Lin chased for a distance, they suddenly heard a loud noise coming from behind, and then a fireball rushed towards them, scaring Liu Sheng and Liu Lin so much that they hurriedly dodged.

Boom.

A huge mushroom cloud rose up, and the deafening explosion made Liu Sheng and Liu Lin cover their ears, stagger and fall to the ground.

"Cough cough cough."

The two men struggled to get up from the ground, and looked at each other at the horrifying scene in front of them.

"Mom."

Liu Lin sat down on the ground: "We almost died just now. We almost forgot that the Tartars have cannons behind them."

At this time, Liu Sheng smiled evilly: "Brother, the Tartars have cannons, don't we have any?"

Liu Lin understood Liu Sheng's meaning. Coincidentally, Li Zheng ordered the flag bearer to retreat the front army, so the Tang army temporarily gave up the pursuit.
