Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

As there were loud roars and thick smoke rising, countless gaps were blown out of the originally neatly formed phalanx.

Before Li Xiaogong's archers could launch their arrows, they suffered a devastating blow.

What made him even more desperate was that the fire riflemen on the opposite side saw this opportunity and pushed forward directly, taking the initiative and shooting wildly at the heavy armored infantry phalanx that was torn apart by the bombs.

As the rows of heavy armored infantry in front fell, the lead bullets fired by the gunmen on the opposite side were no longer hindered, and they began to harvest the archers behind the infantry in an orderly manner.

Seeing the soldiers in front of them fall down one by one like wheat, even the most well-trained soldiers have lost their composure at this time, and everyone has a look of despair on their faces.

The steps that I had been taking forward unswervingly could no longer go on.

As death slowly approached, the fear in the hearts of the soldiers gradually replaced their glory.

Finally, this fear reached its peak when a soldier who could not face death dropped the weapon in his hand, cried and turned around to escape, but was directly shot by the supervising team behind him.

Seeing that the morale of his army is about to reach a low point, if measures are not taken quickly, a mutiny may occur.

Seeing this situation, Li Xiaogong's eyes were about to burst. He kicked the deputy general aside, got on his horse, raised the long spear in his hand, and shouted directly at his personal guards:

"Is there anyone who wants to fight with me!!!"

"only!!!"

The guards shouted angrily, got on their horses, and followed Li Xiaogong towards the gate of Luoyang City.

Upon seeing this, the lieutenant hurriedly ordered the drums to be beaten in support.

The sound of drums instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

When the soldiers who had lost morale heard the drums and saw the vanguard general's flag begin to move forward, they immediately realized that the general was beginning to attack with them.

In an instant, the originally low morale reached its peak.

In their view, the Lord General is an invincible existence. Now the Lord General is accompanying them to attack. Even if there is an abyss ahead, they will unswervingly fill it up.

After a burst of shouts, the soldiers rushed forward again with firm steps.

Hou Junji saw Li Xiaogong attacking at the city gate and immediately said to Li Chengqian and Chu Xin:

"His Royal Highness, Miss Chu Xin, Li Xiaogong is here, we must be careful."

Hearing that Li Xiaogong was coming, Li Chengqian trembled and asked Chu Xin in a low voice:

"Miss Chu, Li Xiaogong is not an ordinary person. He is one of the generals that my father relies on most. You must bear it."

Seeing Li Chengqian's frightened face, Chu Mo curled his lips in disdain, and then said to the messenger beside him:

"Pass my military order and let the army press forward. Anyone who takes Li Xiaogong's head will be promoted to the third rank and will be rewarded with a hundred acres of land."

As soon as the order was given, Chu Xin's morale instantly became unprecedentedly strong.

Originally, these soldiers were worried when they learned that they were going to fight the imperial army.

If it hadn't been for the long-term good training that allowed them to control the fear in their hearts, they might not have mutinied as soon as they received the order.

But even if there was no mutiny, when facing the surging cavalry, when they fired the first shot, they were all determined to die.

However, when they fired the first shot and shot down the knight who was charging at the front, their originally worried hearts finally relaxed a little.

As more and more enemies were shot and killed, Chu Xin's soldiers gradually gained confidence.

Especially when the small trebuchet threw a large amount of explosives, causing terrifying damage, the soldiers instantly felt that they were following the right person this time.

But as the opponent's general took action, and it was the legendary Li Xiaogong, the morale of the soldiers that had just recovered became sluggish again.

But when they heard the huge reward Chu Xin promised, they remembered that all the Tang soldiers had turned into chickens and dogs under his blunderbuss, and they immediately felt motivated.

After hearing the order for them to take the initiative to attack, they even screamed and strode forward.

If it weren't for the strict military regulations that kept them in neat formation, I am afraid that some people would have been unable to restrain themselves and launched an attack directly in the direction of Li Xiaogong.

Chu Xin's actions naturally did not escape Li Xiaogong's eyes.

After some observation, he felt that the shortcoming of Chu Xin's fire stick brigade was its difficulty in moving.

So, he took his personal guards, spared a large circle, and wanted to attack from the flank.

But what he didn't expect was that the team that he thought was incapable of moving would immediately change their formation after discovering his intention, and the flanks would instantly change into the front team.

After several attempts to no avail, Li Xiaogong directly ordered to attack from three directions at the same time. He wanted to see how these "farmers" could cope with this.

As Li Xiaogong's order was issued, his troops immediately divided into three directions and rushed toward Chu Xin's army in an encirclement manner.

Seeing that the Tang army wanted to cover him from three sides, the general in charge did not panic at all. He decisively ordered to shrink the formation.

When Li Xiaogong saw that the enemy on the opposite side began to shrink their formation, he thought they were scared to death, so he immediately took the lead in charging regardless of the objections of his deputy general and personal guards.

Just when he thought that this charge would kill all the "farmers" holding fire sticks in front of him.

The team in front changed their formation again.

The teams that were originally scattered in several square formations suddenly merged into a huge team, and began to push out in three directions at the same time.

And the black "fire sticks" in their hands started roaring at the same time.

Li Xiaogong, who felt that he had been deceived, glanced at the soldiers following him in the dark behind him, shouted angrily, waved the long spear in his hand, and rushed towards the group of "farmers" on the opposite side who were not noticed by him.

Seeing the general leading the charge, Tang's soldiers did not hesitate and followed him waving their weapons.

Seeing that Tang Jun launched another suicidal charge, Chu Xin's soldiers did not show any mercy. Under the command of the school officers, they decisively lit the fuses in their hands and fired ahead of time.

Since Li Xiaogong was at the forefront, was the one who had been specifically offered a reward by Chu Xin, and was the commander-in-chief on the opposite side, he naturally received a warm welcome.

After the first wave of attacks, Li Xiaogong and his mount were not spared. They were beaten into a hornet's nest and fell heavily to the ground.
