Turbulent Times Chapter 1587: You can’t lose, you can’t win

In Du Youchao's opinion, this military general is really the most suitable candidate for a duel.

This person's name is Zhang Jinbiao. The Zhang family is a famous martial arts family in Hedong, and it is different from the ordinary Jianghu martial arts family. There is a member of the Zhang family who is a general in the court, and he also works hard to train some scholars. He is considered to be half a family. The Zhang family has also been integrating into the ranks of the powerful family.

After Li Yuan took control of Hedong, the Zhang family actively moved closer to the Li family. There are two big families with seven clans and five surnames in Hedong. Among them, the Taiyuan royal family has been passed down for thousands of years, with deep roots and deep roots.

Just when the Zhang family felt resentful and was about to switch to Wang Jun, who was said to disregard his background and reuse martial arts figures, Li Shimin visited the Zhang family in person, and easily conquered the Zhang family with his personal charm and extraordinary courage.

Nowadays Li Shimin has dozens of people from the Zhang family as generals, and Zhang Jinbiao is one of them, and he is a leader of the younger generation of the Zhang family. One of the top masters of a generation, especially the flying knife handed down by the Zhang family is a must, even Li Shimin once praised it.

In the past six months, Zhang Jinbiao has worked hard to fight immediately, and it is most suitable for him to fight against the generals of the Far East Army.

At this time, I saw Zhang Jinbiao pointing his finger at the opposite General of the Far Eastern Army and yelling at him.

This general of the Far Eastern Army is indeed a good player. The two fought for seven or eight rounds without winning or losing. run.

And Zhang Jinbiao shouted: "Run there!"

The next moment, I saw Zhang Jinbiao swung his right hand fiercely, and a knife flew across a stream of light, and the general of the Far East Army let out a scream, and fell off his horse in response, rolling several times on the ground. A cavalry **** took him back, and his life and death are unknown.

Suddenly there was shouting from the Li family's army, Zhang Jinbiao shot the man off his horse, turned around and left. The shouts became louder and louder, and even the generals of the Li family army on the top of Shisha Walled City began to cheer, echoing in the mountains on both sides, and for a moment it roared like a giant dragon in the mountains, shaking the ground and shaking the mountains.

As soon as Du Youchao saw that the morale was available, he gave an order and rushed up with two thousand cavalry to the sound of war drums.

The two thousand cavalrymen of the Far Eastern Army did not show any weakness. Even if the general was singled out and was knocked off his horse, he did not panic in the slightest. Following the same order from a captain, horns sounded in unison, and the two thousand cavalrymen raised their weapons aloft , rushing head-on like a flood.

Li Shimin's military training has been extremely strict in the past few years, and he and his generals are proficient in military training, and they also try their best to learn and absorb the advantages of the Far Eastern Army's military training, so the two thousand cavalry that Li Shimin specially selected are extremely powerful.

In this battle, the two sides fought inextricably. Standing on the top of the Walled City of Ten Kills, Li Shimin also watched it thrillingly, but at the same time he felt relieved.

Over the past few years, the Far Eastern Army has been unparalleled in combat power, and it has been recognized by the world. Although I have tried my best to train troops, it is only from the offensive and defensive battles of the two sides these days that I can't tell that my side has the advantage in defending the city. I only feel that the other side The combat power is really strong.

But what impressed him even more

It is the endless siege equipment of the Far East Army, especially those gunpowder packs and grenades.

Therefore, Li Shimin was actually a little worried about how the combat power of the soldiers he trained compared with the Far East Army. The two sides were fighting with the same number of troops in the field, and they were evenly matched. This was a surprise for Li Shimin. , but also feel a sense of accomplishment.

Also, Li Shimin immediately thought of one thing. The Far Eastern Army's cavalry's tactical coordination is great, but the plate armor on the opponent's body and the tip of the long spear in his hand are said to be made of the legendary fine steel. That is to say, the opponent's weapons are sharper, and the armor of the soldiers is stronger. Calculated in this way, in terms of combat power alone, the two thousand cavalry on my side seem to be stronger than the Far Eastern Army.

At the same time, the captain of the Far Eastern Army, who had been knocked off his horse by Zhang Jinbiao, a general of the Li family army, was carried by a group of soldiers to a place where the Li family army could not see him. The flying knife said with a long smile: "Well, how did I perform in the play just now, but speaking of Zhang Jinbiao's martial arts is not weak, and the flying knife of the Zhang family in Hedong is also well-deserved."

The soldier next to him smiled and said: "General, your acting skills are simply top-notch. Just now there was a message from General Yuchi, saying that your acting skills, General, are higher than your martial arts."

……

……

Although Li Shimin felt a great sense of accomplishment at this time, watching the fighting below, some of them were still dignified.

Because, looking at the situation, with the same number of people fighting in the field, they are far from being able to guarantee victory. Not only do they not have the slightest advantage at the moment, but as time goes by, it seems that they are gradually losing the wind.

"Hmph, it's not like the soldiers took advantage of it." Li Shimin was unwilling. A similar so-called weapons and equipment production base has also been established nearby, which has made great achievements. The weapons and equipment of their Li family army have changed a lot in recent years.

However, it seems that there is still a lot of gap between the armored equipment and various equipment of the Far Eastern Army.

Especially, the secret formula and process of gunpowder weapons and fine steel cannot be obtained and developed.

And this is also the main reason why their weapons and equipment are not as good as the opponent's.

……

……

"General Guan, the weakest two thousand people you selected under your command seem to be on par with Li Shimin's most powerful two thousand people, and it seems that your two thousand people are about to gain the upper hand, don't accidentally win The other side, the scene was not performed well, and our major event was ruined." Yuchi Jingde frowned slightly, and said with some worry.

Guan Xiaotong also frowned, and cursed a little depressed: "I don't know why these boys seem to have drunk chicken blood today. In order to make the play more realistic, I didn't tell them they couldn't win. Tell them that there must not be too many casualties."

"You don't have to worry about Yuchi Jingde and General Guan. Our side is only in the upper hand temporarily. It is probably impossible to win Li Shimin's two thousand elite soldiers." Li Jing said calmly after careful observation.

Li Shimin's two thousand elite soldiers were selected by Li Shimin from among 100,000 horsemen, while the Far East Army's side is even the 2,000 soldiers with the worst combat power. What's more, the Li Yuan Group's army's combat power is not strong in the first place.

Weak, otherwise it would be impossible to occupy the two prosperous lands of Hedong and Guanzhong in two or three years, and become one of the biggest forces in the world.

In the past two months, the north and west armies of the Li Yuan Group have been at a disadvantage against the Far East Army. Of course, there are factors of the Far East Army's strong combat power, but it is also combined with various aspects such as weather, location, and harmony. factors have a lot to do with it.

So, it doesn't mean that the Li family's army is really weak, what's more, Li Shimin's troops are stronger than other Li family's troops.

……

……

As time went by, the generals around Li Shimin saw that the most elite 2,000 cavalry on his side could not beat the same number of Far East Army, so they became a little impatient and wanted to increase troops to help Du Youchao.

They turned their heads to look at Li Shimin, but the latter seemed to have guessed what they wanted to say, shook his head slightly at them, and said loudly: "Du Youchao can still support, you just look at the Far East Army behind. "

When the generals heard the words and looked over, they couldn't help but groan inwardly.

Unknowingly, the Far Eastern Army who did not participate in the battle moved forward dozens of steps. Obviously, after the two thousand Far Eastern Army fought for a long time, the commander of the Far Eastern Army was a little impatient, but he was afraid that the main force of the defenders in Shishazhai hadn't moved, and he was unwilling to easily put his troops into battle first.

Li Shimin also understood in his heart that this kind of hand-to-hand combat is a comparison of physical strength and willpower. Whichever side supports to the end and still has fresh troops to join the battle, whichever side is the final winner. The numbers of the two armies here are about the same. If they hastily put their main force into the battle, the final winner will definitely be the Far East Army.

Unknowingly, Li Shimin's thinking has changed compared to before, and he is no longer too worried that he will not be an opponent when he goes out of the city to fight in the field.

Of course, apart from the battle in front of him, it was also related to the secret order from his father that he wanted to win a big victory, so no matter what, he had to go out of the city to fight in the field.

However, although Li Shimin had just turned twenty years old, he was extremely calm. He picked up the binoculars and watched the battle in front of the city. I saw that Du Youchao, the general under his command, did not let him down. As expected, his battle robe was completely stained with blood, but he held a spear and rushed back and forth among the chaotic army without feeling tired at all.

In addition, that Zhang Jinbiao is also a strong general. He only picks the military attache of the Far Eastern Army to kill him.

This battle lasted for more than two hours from the beginning of the Shen Dynasty to the beginning of the Xu Dynasty.

Seeing that the lips of the generals around Li Shimin were dry, several times they thought that Du Youchao would not be able to hold on, but seeing that Li Shimin was motionless like a wooden plastic, he could only bear it by force.

……

……

On the Far East Army side, Yuchi Jingde, Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong and the others seemed to be able to hold their breath. Did not act rashly.

But only they themselves know, they are always hanging in their hearts, not worried that they will lose, but worried that their two thousand people will win the Li Jiajun, which will ruin the big event.

Just having said that, it doesn't matter if you lose. If you lose two thousand troops, you will definitely die, so the generals of the Far East Army are very entangled!
