    The imperial conquest was indeed effective. Within a month, the situation in the Central Plains took a turn for the worse. The once prosperous Han army withered like an epiphyllum. Tens of thousands of remnant troops were surrounded in a small area and waited to die. Joining the army to divide the territory and receiving generous military pay were all  Painting cakes to satisfy hunger turned into a dream in front of the power of the imperial court.  The emperor knew very well that almost all the troops that could be mobilized in the Central Plains were mobilized. No less than 200,000 troops gathered in the area centered on Luoyang, and surrounded the rebels on three levels outside. The one named Liu Yuanfeng  The little boy can hardly fly away even if he has wings.  The overall situation was decided, and the emperor suddenly wanted to go to the front line in person to feel the despair and desolation of the enemy, so the gates of Luoyang were opened wide, and a large group of imperial guards came out. The flags covered the sun, the armor and horses were luxurious and gorgeous, and thousands of people marched out.  Going to the front line, the emperor was wearing royal armor and sitting on the back of a Dawan divine horse. The snow-white horse had not even a trace of hair on it. The divine horse was unusual. The emperor was surrounded by more than ten Imperial Army soldiers wearing fine armor.  The accompanying eunuchs followed behind, holding the emperor's royal swords, bows, arrows, spears and firecrackers, and waited carefully.  \?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: 13:36.  At the handover between the two armies, artillery roared and sporadic battles broke out from time to time. The emperor's royal chariot's personal presence gave the already high morale of the Zhou army soldiers another boost. Li Boxing pointed to the distant camp and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty,  That is where the rebel army is lingering. As long as you give the order, the general will crush them." The emperor raised his telescope with interest and looked at the camp in the distance. The walls were broken and the walls were broken.  It was full of arrows and bullet holes, but a big red flag still fluttered unyieldingly.  \?The emperor suddenly smiled: "Your father is no match for me, and neither are you." Li Boxheng was also an old man from the past. Knowing the meaning of the emperor's words, he immediately echoed: "Your Majesty is the real dragon emperor, how can these little people  The emperor was in a happy mood and waved his hand and said: "Bring him up." Li Boxheng almost didn't recognize him as he was dragged up by two guards. After taking a closer look, he saw that it was his old enemy Lan Yu, who had always been strong in the past.  The commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army has now become a dying old man. His gray hair is scattered, his face is still stained with blood, one eye is covered with blood, and his clothes are in tatters. He still has the majesty and demeanor he once had.  He was clearly a prisoner about to die. Even Li Boxheng, who was at odds with Lan Yu, was shocked by such a tragic situation.  "I want Lan Yu to see with his own eyes how the battle is fought. What he can't solve in half a year, I can do in a month." The emperor said proudly.  Lan Yu no longer had the strength to stand up, and was tied to the wooden frame. Her eyes were slightly open, her lips were opening and closing, and she seemed to be talking about something. Li Boxheng leaned over to listen, and then reported to the emperor: "This guy is talking.  , The troops should not be over-concentrated to avoid being surrounded by the enemy." The emperor smiled contemptuously and ignored Lan Yu at all. He had already sentenced Lan Yu to death, and he was to kill everyone. He did not execute the execution immediately because he wanted Lan Yu to see it with his own eyes.  to the emperor's achievements.  Seeing that it was almost time, the emperor nodded to Li Boxheng: "It's time to start. \"  "Although the Han army camp was compressed into a small area, the Han army was armed to the teeth like a hedgehog, and no one could  He cannot be swallowed up in one go. Zhou Jun will have to make a huge sacrifice every time he takes a step forward.  The battle situation was far from being as simple as the emperor thought. Instead of being frustrated and fearful, the Han troops in the encirclement were full of confidence because the King of Han was fighting side by side with them.  In the deep trenches, the Han soldiers only exposed their heads with helmets and arms holding blunderbuss, and they kept shooting because they used blunderbuss instead of crossbows. A pot of gunpowder and a bag of lead bullets could be used for shooting.  It takes a long time, and the strength is not exhausted. If it is a strong bow and a crossbow, not only the arrows it can carry are limited, but after shooting dozens of arrows, the arm will lose strength.  God knows how the Han army had so many firearms. In fact, Yuan Feng equipped this army that was destined to be surrounded with all the muskets and artillery with good performance, including many of the flintlocks that had been captured by the imperial army, and the ammunition supply was even more open.  The soldiers are also carefully selected veterans with good qualities.  The Han army used trenches and earthen walls as cover, used muskets and artillery to kill the enemy's effective forces, and retreated in a planned manner to reduce the encirclement as much as possible. The officers and soldiers thought that victory was in sight, so they were reluctant to use expensive cavalry for assault, but sent a large number of  The infantry took turns to go into battle. The Han army hid in the ditch and fired from behind the earth wall, killing a large number of officers and soldiers. On the battlefield, mourning was everywhere, most of them were injured but not dead soldiers. The officers and soldiers did not treat them, and still used the wheel-human sea tactic.  , fill it up with human lives.  There is a wooden stick erected in the middle of the Han camp.For a while, Yuan Feng would come over to take a look. As the sun rose, the shadow of the stick gradually shortened and finally disappeared, indicating that noon had arrived.  \ Log in to 6.com to read the literature together and support the genuine Wulin Empire.  The time to counterattack finally arrived. Yuan Feng gave an order, and the artillerymen moved quickly, lifting the tarpaulin, revealing the cold and dark oily general cannon. They checked the gunpowder and shells, adjusted the muzzle, and ignited the fuse.  The three bronze guns that once showed great power at the head of Xiliang City and made great contributions roared again. The cannonballs landed on the high platform where the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was watching the battle in the distance. Li Boxheng thought that he was safe enough at that distance without any weapons.  It could threaten the emperor, but how could he have imagined that the Han army could hide the three gates so deeply and for so long.  After all, the distance was quite far, and there was no test firing. The first cannonball missed the target and hit the forest guards who were lining up under the platform. The huge cannonballs rushed through the queue, and the armor on the soldiers was like paper.  A corridor of flesh and blood was created on the spot, and no less than thirty people died.  The emperor was shocked and stunned for a moment. Then the second cannonball came over, and the sharp whistle pierced the sky. Cao Shaoqin shouted sternly: "Protect the emperor!" A group of guards rushed forward desperately,  A human wall was formed to surround the emperor, but what they did not expect was the power of the cannonball. After the thin iron shell exploded, countless iron caltrops flew in all directions, hitting the human body with a popping sound.  The sound, let alone the Chinese characters weighing one hundred and eighty pounds, would fall to the ground even if a horse weighed four or five hundred pounds.  Seven or eight of the guards were killed on the spot. Fortunately, their sacrifices were not in vain. The emperor was safe and sound, but his face was pale. He was calm and composed, waving his hands for the guards to get out of the way: "Go away, I don't believe it. The emperor can still  "Sure enough, after the first two shots, the Han army's cannon lost its accuracy, and the impact point was far away. The emperor remained motionless, and the morale of the army was calmed down. Li Boxheng was sweating profusely and ran up to persuade: "It's dangerous on the high platform.  Your Majesty, please stay away for a while. \" The emperor said proudly: "It doesn't matter. The thieves are just trapped and the beasts are still fighting. I order the three armies to launch the final attack. I want to see what the cannons that can shoot such a distance look like. I also want to see those who react.  How did the thief die? " Li Boxheng took the order. Cao Shaoqin came up and whispered: "Your Majesty has a body of thousands of gold, so you should stay away for now.  " A drop of cold sweat flowed from the emperor's forehead, and he whispered: "Old Cao, I am injured.  \" Cao Shaoqin was startled and observed the emperor carefully. Sure enough, he found that the armor pieces below the emperor's belt were scattered, and there were faint blood stains on the bright yellow silk embroidered dragon tunic. "Your Majesty, do you want to call the imperial doctor?  " "Don't make it public. If the news of my injury spreads, the morale of the military will be unstable. Who can bear this responsibility?  Come and help me bandage it.  "The emperor held on and said, with beads of sweat on his face, which showed how severe the pain was. Cao Shaoqin stamped his feet, called a dozen of his cronies, surrounded the emperor, and then personally used gold sore medicine and gauze to help the emperor stop the bleeding and bandage it.  When he opened the armor plate and saw it, Cao Shaoqin took a deep breath. The emperor was wounded in the chest and was already covered in blood. The situation on the battlefield was critical, and he could not care more. He gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, please don't be offended.  "I took out my dagger and cut open the emperor's trousers. The trousers inside were soaked with blood. When I cut open the trousers, I saw only a red flesh ball hanging out of the skin, and there was a line connecting it. "It's shocking.  Even Cao Shaoqin felt pain when he looked at it, but the emperor was able to bear it, which showed that his willpower was strong. At this time, he gritted his teeth and asked: "Old Cao, how are you?  " "Your Majesty, the injury is very serious. I don't know how to deal with it."  " "What happened?  " "One of His Majesty's dragon eggs fell out" The emperor naturally had a sense of control when he was injured, but after hearing Cao Shaoqin's personal confirmation, he was still so angry that he almost fainted, but the emperor's perseverance was far superior to ordinary people.  , he endured the pain and rage and said: "Well, I will retreat to Luoyang first, and you can find some reliable surgeons.  " There was no way to leave an egg hanging outside like this. Cao Shaoqin used his limited battlefield first aid skills. He first sprinkled a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao, shivering, stuffed the emperor's egg back into the skin, and wrapped it with gauze.  After a circle, the battlefield could only be handled like this. The horses could no longer be ridden. Cao Shaoqin ordered people to find a sedan and carry the emperor back to Luoyang. The battlefield command was temporarily handed over to Li Boxheng. The emperor was injured and everyone was uneasy.  He actually forgot about the blue jade tied to the wooden frame. Li Boxheng was not a fool. He had already seen that the emperor was injured. Something happened to the emperor in his own defense zone. He could not escape the blame. The only way was to wipe out the rebel army.  , the only way out is to make up for one's mistakes, Li Boxheng vented his anger on the Han army, he had alreadyOrder all armies to advance across the board and level the Han camp.  But unexpectedly, all contacts with the government and troops in the other three directions were interrupted, and no orders could be issued.  Li Boxheng felt something was wrong. He thought about it but didn't know what was wrong. Suddenly, he jumped off the horse and lay on the ground, listening for a while with his ears to the ground. When he looked up again, his face was pale.  It¡¯s the cavalry, the cavalry of the brigade!  This book.  Your message, even just one (*__*), will become the motivation for the author's creation.
