Li Shen's route this time was different from the past. He did not take the direction of Lanzhou, but took a long detour to Longzhou, Yuanzhou, and Huizhou, and went straight to Liangzhou.

Everyone thought that Li Shen was going to Liangzhou to see where his caravan was robbed.

Half a month later, Li Shen finally reached the boundary of Huizhou.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived at Huizhou, which is not far from Liangzhou."

Beside the campfire, Wang Xuance and Li Shen were eating barbecue.

"Well, Zhao Tiejun, spread out your team and pay attention to all movements."

Li Shen took a bite of the meat in his hand and shouted to Zhao Tiejun in the distance.

Xue Rengui has not returned yet, and only Li Shen can command the sharp blade, so Zhao Tiejun, as the deputy captain, has been following Li Shen.

Zhao Tiejun did not respond, but turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Li Shen continued on his way the next day. He did not enter Huizhou City, but directly crossed the city and headed north.

"Xuance, please cheer up everyone, we are about to leave Huizhou and enter Liangzhou."

Li Shen reminded him as he rode his horse and looked at the deserted surroundings.

The place is overgrown with weeds and deserted.

"Report~~ report to the prince, a large number of cavalry were found in a mountain depression ten miles northeast, about five thousand people."

Just when Li Shen was about to say something to Wang Xuance, a member of the Blades ran over on horseback to report.

"Finally here. Tell Zhao Tiejun to monitor all their movements at all times."

Li Shen immediately gave the order. In fact, Li Shen had not been sure in the past few days. He did not know whether he would wait for this group of people.

Ever since he got the news that the goods had been robbed, Li Shen began to think about a strategy. Since he couldn't find it, he would take the initiative to go out and lure the snake out of the hole.

Beating up Li Zhi was the beginning of the plan. He wanted to use himself as a bait so that Li Zhi could send his men to intercept and kill him.

In the past, Li Shen would never have taken such a risk. He was afraid of death, but Li Zhi's behavior made him very angry this time.

Li Shen has been looking for this group of people for several years and has lost his patience. If it continues like this, it will make Li Shen feel very uncomfortable.

And he also wanted to give Li Zhi a painful blow, making him feel desperate.

Li Shen deliberately took this route because Wang Xuance analyzed that this group of people had never been found. They might not be in the north, but in the country.

Moreover, based on the attack route and the assassination of Li Shimin, Wang Xuance concluded that this group of people should be hiding in the Lingzhou area.

That's why Li Shen came to Huizhou, because the northeast of Huizhou is Lingzhou, and the two states are adjacent.

"Xuance, give the order immediately. The team will continue to move forward and be prepared to fight. This time, we will make sure they never come back."

Li Shen is not afraid at all now, but rather excited.

This mysterious team that he had been searching for for several years was finally found. He just didn't expect that Li Zhi had quietly recruited as many as 5,000 people.

"Your Majesty, five thousand cavalry is quite a lot of people." Wang Xuance was worried at the side.

There are only 2,600 personal guards on his side. Although the sharp blade has strong personal combat effectiveness, it will not be effective in such a large-scale charge.

"It doesn't matter, don't forget that we also have secret weapons. And our guard battalion is well-equipped.

I don’t believe that Prince Jin can still have money like this king. "

Li Shen was very confident in his money. He, Li Zhi, supported five thousand cavalry, but the money he needed would definitely not be enough to equip him.

"My lord, the other party has begun to move slowly this way, eight miles away from here."

"Everyone is ready for battle." Li Shen immediately issued the order after hearing the report.

"Xuance, I will leave this place to your command. Don't let me down. Take out all the secret weapons we have prepared."

Professional matters should be left to professional people. The combat commander Li Shen knew nothing about it. As the saying goes, one general is incompetent and will kill thousands of troops.

Li Shen never does anything he doesn't know how to do.

The guards began to prepare, taking a bunch of wooden parts from the carriage behind and started assembling them.

The small trebuchets were quickly assembled.

"Report~~~The enemy is five miles away from here and is starting to rush towards us at a faster speed."

"All trebuchets are forward seventy feet, the cavalry behind is ready, and the 500 cavalry battalion is ready to penetrate on the right."

Wang Xuance made a prompt decision.

The cavalry battalion is actually heavy cavalry, which has the same nature as a tank.

Wang Xuance wanted to use the cavalry battalion to cut off the opponent. This time they brought a total of ten small trebuchets.

The distance of the projection was only a little over a hundred steps, and the object being projected was Li Shen's secret weapon, a homemade bomb.

The bomb was very powerful, and Li Shen put some small nails inside it. Although the killing radius was small, it was still very powerful within the effective killing radius.

And it mainly has a deterrent effect, which can interrupt the charging momentum of five thousand cavalry.

The distance of seventy feet was just right for the guard camp to charge forward.

"Boom, boom, boom," a roaring sound came from the distance, and the darkness was like a dark cloud, coming towards here.

They were extremely fast and had already begun to charge. The other party's scouts also knew about Li Shen's movements.

Wang Xuance sat on his horse and looked at the charging enemy troops. He was not afraid of danger, and even a little excited.

He wants to restore the glory of his ancestors and the glory of his origin as a military commander.

"put!!"

The flag bearer who passed the order waved the flag in his hand, and the sound of "bang bang bang" came from the ten trebuchets in front.

Ten iron balls flew towards the opponent's formation, and the enemy cavalry just bumped into them.

They thought Li Shen was throwing stones. For their charging cavalry, throwing stones would not have much effect.

But at this moment, there was a loud "boom, boom, boom" and the explosion made the people in the front row flip over.

Many people say that black powder is less powerful, but that is relative. It can still kill people as long as the distance is close.

The cavalrymen who were slightly further away had armor that could withstand the flying nails, but the horses did not. Many horses were shot into their bodies by nails, and some were covered with bruises.

The sudden change weakened the momentum of the charge a lot, and then the trebuchet dropped another wave of homemade bombs.

The loud sound of the bomb frightened Qi Zhen's horses, and even the horses of the cavalry of the guard camp who were far away were a little restless.

Two waves of explosions caused chaos in the opponent's lineup.

The front blocked the forward momentum behind, and the entire team stopped.

"Attack!!"

Wang Xuance gave the order, and the guard battalion began to charge. The distance of seventy feet increased their speed to the peak.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The guard camp was so powerful that it crashed directly into the local team.

The enemy general wanted to regroup, but his voice could not be heard by others.

The screams of the people in the field and the neighing of the horses soon greeted the attack of the guard battalion.

(I checked the information. Black powder only has a smaller killing radius, not less powerful. The shock wave at close range can still kill people.

When black powder burns, it releases a large amount of heat energy. It is well sealed and very powerful.

The current ratio of black powder to TNT has reached three-fifths.

In other words, five pounds of black powder can be as powerful as three pounds of TNT.

In the end, this is just a novel, please don’t take it too seriously, thank you. )
