Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 139: See Li Shimin
"Who is this?"
A brave general saw Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling entering the camp and stopped them. This man was wearing heavy armor and was in his 60s, but he was full of high-spirited spirit and had a loud voice.
When Li Shimin's hundred cavalry saw the old general, they were in awe, and said, "This person is the alien lord Chu Zimou, and His Majesty has agreed to receive him."
"The two weaklings... go in."
The old general glanced at Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling, and dismissed their force.
It is estimated that if Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling join forces, they will be beaten by Li Shimin, and there is no threat to Li Shimin at all.
Chu Tian was curious about this person's identity and secretly checked the old general's introduction.
Most of the old generals who can appear under Li Shimin's account are big figures at the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
[Name]: Yuchi Jingde
[Level]: Level 100
[Description]: Sui and Tang generals, the Tang Dynasty E Guogong, the seventh of Lingyan Pavilion, and Qin Qiong are one of the two gods of Chinese civilization.
Yuchi Jingde...
Chu Tian was secretly surprised in the bottom of his heart, a fierce general in the Sui and Tang Dynasties!
The two door gods posted on the wooden door of my hometown used to be Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde.
He and Qin Qiong are one of the leaders of the black armored cavalry under Li Shimin!
However, the old warriors are also getting old.
This battle of Anshi City may be the last glory of Tang Taizong Li Shimin's personal expedition.
Tang Taizong Li Shimin was sitting at the throne of the camp. The emperor's coercion made Chu Tian feel a huge sense of oppression.
At this time, Li Shimin was nearly fifty years old, and his face was already wrinkled, but he still personally led the army to recover Liaodong.
Apart from the internal affairs of the imperial family, in terms of the ability to lead troops to conquer the world in person, I am afraid that not many emperors can match. So that after Li Shimin came to power, he did not deliberately eradicate the former generals, because no one's military merit was higher than that of His Majesty the Emperor.
Beside Li Shimin, there is also Li Shiji, who serves as the chief general and military advisor.
Li Shiji is also a fierce man. He defeated the Sui generals Zhang Xutuo, Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhuaji for the Wagang Army, and followed Li Shimin to fight in the north and south.
However, Li Shiji suffered great losses under Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou, and he may have been the third soldier in the early Tang Dynasty after Li Jing and Li Shimin.
At this time, Li Shiji was also known as Li Ji in order to avoid Li Shimin's taboo.
Li Shiji is already in his 50s, and his ability has declined somewhat.
The two military commanders of the Tang Dynasty are both in the main business, which shows that Chutian is under great pressure.
Unfortunately, Qin Qiong had died of illness at this time, Cheng Zhijie stayed in Chang'an, and Li Jing, the **** of war, was over seventy years old and could not come.
The first batch of fierce people in the Tang Dynasty, from kings to generals, were already old.
No wonder Li Shimin got the young Xue Rengui and Longyan Dayue - always leaving a group of young generals available for his son.
"Is it possible that the alien lord sent you here to instruct me how to march and fight? I have been on the battlefield for more than 20 years, and I still use you to tell me what to do?"
Li Shimin looked at Chutian, and Fang Xuanling, who was somewhat familiar.
Although he no longer remembers the young "Fang Xuanling", they get along very well and have some intimacy.
Chu Tian was not afraid that Li Shimin would kidnap his subordinates, because Li Shimin was only the commander-in-chief of the faction that appeared during the national war.
In front of Emperor Tang Zong, Chu Tian showed a little humility: "The suggestions of the ministers and others are for your reference only. This battle is related to the prestige of our great country and the prestige of your majesty. Liaodong is early in the cold, if we cannot If we capture the city of Anshi before September, we are bound to retreat. Whenever I think about this, I can't sleep at night and feel restless."
Li Shimin raised his hand, and a general handed Li Shimin the memorial of the lords' tactics.
Li Shimin flipped through the contents of the memorial: "It's okay. To supervise the construction of Tushan, I will make Jiangxia King Li Daozong work with your alien lord Lao Qin. As for the fight against the Goguryeo reinforcements, I have my own conclusion."
"Yes."
Chu Tian didn't dare to look up at Li Shimin. The opponent was the most capable monarch of the Tang Dynasty, and the surrounding Tang Dynasty generals, which one was not famous.
Except for the sick and old and the generals guarding Chang'an, most of the characters from the early Tang Dynasty gathered together.
Li Shimin handed over the siege of Anshicheng to Li Daozong, mostly because he wanted to surround himself with some help.
Li Shimin asked the lord's strength again, and Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling answered fluently.
Because this is just a national war, and Li Shimin is only a temporary boss, Chutian is not very afraid. Unless it is to disturb the morale of the army, Li Shimin will not deal with him.
Li Shimin was slightly surprised: "It's rare to find someone who is calm and self-possessed in front of me. If you make a great contribution, I can reward you with a fine Turkic horse."
"The minister will definitely serve the Tang Dynasty and fight the enemy bravely."
Chu Tian heard the promise of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty that even Tang Taizong admired the war horse, which must not be of ordinary quality.
Chu Tian walked out of Li Shimin's camp, and a group of lords were already waiting outside: "How is it? Has Li Shimin been persuaded?"
"If he was so easy to accept, he wouldn't be Tang Taizong. I guess he also has his own ideas. But at least, we have conveyed two important news to him - first, Goguryeo knew what he planned. Tactics. Second, we must start building up mountains of earth to attack the city now, otherwise it will be too late in September.”
"We can only choose to trust Li Shimin."
The lord of the Eastern Han district had no choice but to lobby against Emperor Taizong. Who dares to point fingers and teach Li Shimin how to fight?
When Chu Tian returned to her camp, Hua Mulan held a horse lance that was taller than her height in both hands, which was equivalent to an extended spear with a sharp blade half a meter long.
If she was stabbed with a horse lance, Chu Tian might... no, he would definitely die.
"This kind of weapon should be the equipment of the heavy cavalry of the Tang army. When launching a charge, as long as the power of the stirrup is used, the horse can easily pierce the opponent's armor. Even if it cannot be pierced, such a terrifying impact is enough to break the opponent's cavalry. The bones. All in all, if you get stabbed, you will definitely die.”
Chu Tian had an idea in his heart that if he became rich in the future, he would learn from Li Shimin to form the Black Armored Iron Cavalry, and then form the Imperial Guards such as the Yulin Army and the Longwu Army.
A heavy cavalry is the trump card for decisive battles in the age of cold weapons.
Once the heavy cavalry charges on the battlefield, it often means that the battle is about to end, and there will be a victorious side.
Hua Mulan can barely serve as the leader of the heavy cavalry unit, or as the captain of the personal guard...
In short, this lance, which has the same purpose as the medieval knight's gun, was not used by ordinary soldiers, but by heavy cavalry.
Only high-powered generals such as Hua Mulan can usually swing the lance without taking it seriously.
On the second day of the National War, the Tang army still did not move, and the lords of the Eastern Han district were a little anxious.
On the third day, the Tang Jiangxia King Li Daozong led a 100,000-strong Tang army to summon the lords of the Eastern Han District and asked the lords of the Eastern Han District to send five legions to assist the Tang army in accumulating soil and mountains!
There are four Tushan Mountains, located in the southeast, south, southwest, and west directions of Anshi City!
Li Shimin was probably moved by the suggestions of the player lords, and began to face the city of Anshi, and began to prepare for the siege in June.
In addition, Li Shimin ordered Li Ji to lead a Tang army to the south to provoke the Goguryeo reinforcements on the opposite side, and ordered the lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty to send two legions to assist.
Chutian's 2nd Corps and Mingguan's 3rd Corps followed Li Ji south to provoke Goguryeo reinforcements. There are a total of 100,000 Tang troops and 50,000 Han troops.
The coalition army of 150,000 people descended to the south of the canyon, and the flags and flags were hidden in the air.
Teams of elite Tang army soldiers and cavalry marched along the river.
At the forefront is a group of Tang heavy cavalry wearing bright light armor, holding a horse lance and a Tang knife on the waist.
In contrast, the formations of the Second and Third Army Corps in the Eastern Han District were somewhat scattered. After all, they were made up of soldiers.
Chutian could only maintain the formation as much as possible, and divided the second army into three armies of infantry, bow and cavalry, following behind the Tang army.
Hua Mulan really set off with a four-meter-long horse lance, which is eye-catching.
The lords of the Eastern Han region have not yet produced such weapons, and the only way to obtain them is to exchange them for military exploits and Tang quartermasters. There are only a handful of lords with military exploits, and few are willing to spend military exploits in exchange for a horse lance for their subordinates like Chutian.
"Tang Jun and Tang Jun appeared in the northern canyon, less than ten miles away from our forward!"
The news of the deployment of the Tang army alarmed the millions of troops in Goguryeo, and Jiang Pang of the Jeonju Legion wiped the sweat from his bloated cheeks.
Heavenly Khan's army, here we come!
All the Goryeo lords were getting nervous as they prepared their armies for battle.
Hundreds of Goryeo scout cavalry left the camp, always on alert for any movements of the Tang army.
"Tang Jun is approaching us!"
"Damn, are they planning to kill them directly?!"
The lords of Goryeo didn't take it seriously until the war began. When the Tang army was overwhelmed, they finally felt unprecedented pressure.
Tang Jun's forward is less than two miles away from Goryeo's forward!
The cavalry scouts on both sides had small-scale battles, each with losses, but one Tang cavalry could kill several Goguryeo cavalry.
It didn't stop until both forwards saw each other's flags.
"Goguryeo's army is really huge. They came with all the strength of the whole country, knowing that if the city of Anshi is captured, then the country will perish. But in the world, who can stop our Tang army?"
A Pentecostal veteran pointed his horsewhip at the Goguryeo army opposite, but he was not afraid at all, and regarded it like a guinea pig.
"I heard that the pioneer of the Tang army was Zhang Shigui, a veteran of the Tang Dynasty, Guo Guogong of the Tang Dynasty, who followed Li Shimin to death many times."
Prince Yan, the lord of western Liaoning, rode with Chu Tian on horseback, and was accompanied by the fierce general Di Qing of the Northern Song Dynasty.
"Does Zhang Shigui have Xue Rengui in his army?"
"Theoretically there is... he may not be willing to swear allegiance to the lord."
"That's right, Tang Taizong Li Shimin on one side and us on the other, he will definitely choose Li Shimin."
"Where did you get your general's horse lance?"
Prince Yan felt a chill when he saw the horse lance in Hua Mulan's hand. This kind of weapon of the Tang army is amazing.
"Gold-level weapons cost me 1,000 military exploits."
"You...really willing, but giving it to Mulan seems to be a good deal."
Prince Yan was shocked by Chu Tian's generosity, and it seemed a little distressed that he wanted to exchange 1,000 military merits for a weapon his subordinates liked.
The red dragon flag flutters, echoing the flag of the Tang army ahead.
Li Ji's 100,000 Tang army relied on the mountain to set up camp as a force to compete with the millions of reinforcements from Goguryeo.
I am afraid that only the Tang army, who is invincible all over the world, dares to do so with one hundred thousand Tang troops.
Chu Tian led his troops and built a simple camp based on Xiling.
The Tang army was located in the west of the canyon, and the Goguryeo army was located in the east of the canyon, separated by a river.
The Tang army built a pontoon bridge upstream of the river so that it could attack the Goguryeo army at any time.
The Goguryeo army was tit-for-tat and set up a pontoon bridge in the lower reaches of the river to attack the Tang army at any time.
The two sides are at each other's throats.
The number of Goguryeo was fifteen times that of the Tang army.
Fortunately, the area of the canyon has expanded tenfold, otherwise the Goguryeo army might have stretched for hundreds of miles.
However, even though it was fifteen times the size of the Tang army, the Goguryeo reinforcements did not dare to move.
The victory and defeat may be decided in a single battle, and the two sides spend more time testing each other.
"Goguryeo's army of millions, their food supply should be extremely difficult. I judge they will fight soon."
Chu Tian took his generals to the river to observe the Goguryeo army on the opposite side.
The Goguryeo army was densely populated, relying on Dongling for stationing.
Because it is close to the river, both sides have no troubles with water sources, but the difficulty is the transportation of food.
"A team of Tang Jun has already gone to the other side. Is this a provocation?"
A lord exclaimed, Chu Tian looked towards the opposite bank, and sure enough, a cavalry crossed the river through the pontoon built by Tang army craftsmen~IndoMTL.com~ arrived on the opposite bank to provoke the opponent.
The cavalry numbered about 2,000.
The lord Gongzi Wen saw Tang Jun's behavior and kept shaking his head: "Two thousand people must be crazy to provoke the other party's army of millions."
"The Tang army went to challenge all light cavalry. With such a terrain, Goguryeo couldn't deploy a million army. Not to mention a million, a hundred thousand army could not be deployed."
Chutian initially has the ability to judge the terrain.
I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen pigs running. Chutian experienced more battles, and gradually mastered some knowledge of marching and fighting.
The two thousand Tang army cavalry on the opposite side showed off their might, and they also approached the camp of the Goguryeo army to provoke archery.
Goguryeo was angry at the contempt of the Tang army, and a Goguryeo cavalry rushed out, with a mighty 10,000 people.
"Idiot!"
When Goryeo lord Choi Jae-sun learned that the Goguryeo army was dispatched, he could only curse.
The two commanders of the Goguryeo army, they don't listen to the player's lord very much.
In a sense, Li Shimin's IQ can crush Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, the commanders of the Goguryeo army.
Li Shimin may be able to listen to the suggestions of the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the two commanders Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen may not.
10,000 Goguryeo cavalry rushed out, and 2,000 Tang cavalry trotted, turning back and shooting arrows from time to time, continuing to provoke each other.
"Kill!"
The Goguryeo cavalry also fired arrows at the same time, and were gradually brought to the north by the Tang army.
Tang Jun underestimated them too much. This is a five-to-one ratio!
"Tang Jun started to fight back."
Chutian and the others followed the Tang army, and they were absolutely safe on the other side of the river. They saw that the two thousand Tang army actually held spears, turned their horses, and attacked the Goguryeo cavalry five times their size!
