On the vast grassland, Chu Yong took a forehead and glanced at the sun above his head.
Although the light is still dazzling, it is not as hot as before. After a few days, it will be the beginning of autumn. However, the march was fast, and the soldiers were inevitably soaked in sweat.
Looking back at the cavalry team behind Hong Rulong, the light in Chu Yan's eyes was even more fierce than the sun. These 30,000 cavalry are not ordinary cavalry, but they are all composed of monks.
The warhorse is also a fierce warhorse that has been sculpted by elixir. Apart from that, the body is larger than before. The pair of big dark eyes are full of captivating fierce light. If ordinary people see it, only I'm afraid I can't help hurting both shivering.
"In the past six months, in order to practice this new ride, you can be considered as painless. Now that you have refined your ride, you will soon enter the battlefield. I don't think you feel very relieved?"
Zhang Chang'an, whose horse is at Chu's side, is still a civilian robe. Seeing Chu Xi's heart twitching in the past two days, like a newcomer who has just entered the battlefield, he feels funny, but also thinks this is not necessary at all.
Chu Fu helped his own pocket, coughed and converged, "It's not disturbing. I'm most aware of this novel combat power. Really on the battlefield, it's already motionless. It must be amazing. Just All over the world, there has never been such a fine ride ...
"Thousands of cavalry are monks. I think they are like a dream! This is not a simple war. It indicates that a war has entered a brand new stage. A new look is in the eyes of the world! And we are the pioneers of the era! "
Zhang Chang'an shook his head when he saw that Chu Yan was getting more and more excited, and his complexion began to turn red again.
I usually feel helpless towards my friend who seems to be calm in nature. In fact, when he is excited, his friend who is more than ten times more impulsive than himself is also helpless.
This time 30,000 new riders went out of battle, naturally the master was not Chu Yun, he only led 3,000 steps. But it was not Shangguan Qingcheng, although these new riders belonged to the Langfang Army, Shangguan Qingcheng did not show up.
According to Li Wei, Shangguan Qingcheng is a scholar, and Silla, no need to come to the generals.
The leading general is Zhao Nianci's younger brother. He experienced one of the five thousand rides that survived the battle of Yanyankou. He has been taught by Shangguan Qingcheng around him. It is said that he is also a brave and powerful man.
"In this expedition to Silla, the dynasty ridden 100,000 troops. Except for your Spike Army, the rest are basically infantry. The role you play is indeed immobile, and every move has to do with victory." Zhang When Chang'an said these words, he could not hide his envy.
He is now a civilian and has no qualifications to participate in the war. At present, he is able to follow Chu Yu as an ordinary food officer in the army. The Gesang tribe is now a large tribe on the grassland. Although the population and the number of cattle and sheep are not top-level, the wealth is absolutely top-notch, so this time it also bears a lot of food and grain supply.
"Silla's mountains and rivers are vertical and horizontal, with extremely flat terrain, and there are few flat lands and concentrated in the south. At the beginning of the war, our place of use was really not great. But when we played, it was certainly in the late stage of the war. Period. "Chu Yan nodded, agreeing with Zhang Changan's judgment.
He suddenly gave Zhang Changan a strange look. "You really don't plan to contact Qian Jinduo of the left servant of the Ministry of Defense? If you agree with this family relationship, as long as you want, you must be transferred back to the army now. This battle So you do n’t have to watch from behind
, But can join in.
"You and my brother, from Hexi to Chang'an, from Chang'an to Mobei, if you can stand side by side in Silla, how pleasant is it!"
These remarks were in the heart of Zhang Chang'an, which made him a little fascinated for a while, but in the end he just smiled and shook his head, "Don't talk to me about this, my grandfather has scolded me for a **** dog. Now I almost If you have no filial piety, you can give me peace of mind. "
"It seems that you are really bewildered by beauty ......... Well, since ancient times heroes have been sad about beauty, I also understand you." Chu Yong tried to pat Zhang Changan's shoulder to express comfort.
Zhang Changan patted Chu Yi's hand in a bad temper, dismissing his words.
In fact, because he refused to be the son-in-law of the Ministry of War, in the past six months, he has not been said to be immersed in the gentle village and entered the heroic grave.
But the truth is not like this at all, not to mention that nothing happened between him and Gesang. Zhang Chang'an always believed that Gesang was not a fairy fox, she was not as good-looking as others said at all. To the request of fox fox.
"This time, the emperor sent troops to the east. The attack on Silla and the attack on the puppet kingdom was carried out simultaneously. Both troops were up and down. Luo will also be assisted by a sailor.
Zhang Changan shifted the topic: "But now that the soldiers and horses have been reduced, the sailors have also gone to Laos. You don't have flanking reinforcements. I am afraid this battle is not as good as expected.
Chu Yi waved his hand, disapproving, "You haven't been in the army for the past two or three years, and you don't understand many things. Because the dynasty concentrated resources to prepare for the battle, the military strength has improved by more than one star in the past few years. Attack with 100,000 soldiers and horses Silla, head on, not as difficult as you think.
"Although there are not many soldiers and horses dispatched by the dynasty this time, they are the essence of deep accumulation over the past few years. It can be said to represent the most elite force of the Forbidden Army. The soldiers are not expensive, and the 100,000 soldiers are not expensive now. If it was placed ten years ago, it would be worth half a million troops! "
Zhang Changan stumbled, "This statement is a bit too exaggerated?"
Chu Yan smiled inexplicably, "When you get to the battlefield, you will brighten your eyes behind it and see how your brother defeated the enemy. When your brother makes a remarkable military achievement, you don't regret the opportunity and return to the army to participate Battle! "
Zhang Changan was silent.
He knows Chu Yun very well and knows that the other party doesn't like to talk big. Since Chu Yun is so full of confidence, he will not be aimless. In this way, Wang Shi is really completely different from before.
Thirty thousand fine riders, carrying a large amount of food and heavy weight, passed east of Yikun Prefecture and arrived in Liaodong in the future.
At this time, Zhao Polu, who served as the coach of the Third Army of the Shilla Campaign, had already reached Liaodong City.
Liaodong City was the seat of Andong Duhufu during the Gaozong period.
In the first year of the general chapter of Gaozong, Li Ji broke through Goryeo, pulled Pyongyang, and captured his king, Gaozang. Gaozong set up Andong Metropolitan Government in Pyongyang, separated it into 42 states, and took Xue Rengui as Anton Metropolitan Government. He led his army in Pyongyang, and established the rule of Korea and Baekje. Luo.
In the three-year chapter, in order to fight for the rule of Korea and Baekje, Silla assembled 300,000 troops successively and fought against the 20,000 Tang army stationed in Pyongyang.
The war lasted for seven years. In the first three years, Tang was forced to fight against Tubo on the western front, abandoned the Baekje hometown, and ruled the Datong River with Silla, and still ruled the Yalu River.
North and South Korea's hometown, Andong Duhufu moved to Liaodong City.
After the Anshi Rebellion, Datang gradually lost control of the territory outside the Great Wall.
The Khitan rises and occupies eastern Liaoning, while the Bohai State occupies a large area of Korea's former land. After Datang defeated Khitan, it regained eastern Liaoning. The Yalu River (Yalu River) was still in the hands of the Bohai State, and the southern part of the peninsula was in the hands of Silla.
Ten years ago, the farmer Zhen Xuan rebelled, occupied Wuzhen Prefecture, and claimed to be the post-Baiji King a few years ago.
Joining Zhen Xuan's army, the descendants of the Korean royal family, Gong, have also claimed to be the post-Korean king.
When the princes of the Great Tang Dynasty merged, Silla also fell into internal divisions. Now the trilateral forces are separated from each other and are fighting each other. This era is also known as the "Late Three Kingdoms" era of Silla.
At the moment, Datang is attacking such an opponent, and it is not negligible to say that 100,000 steps are enough.
Compared with the three kingdoms of Silla, the Northeast Bohai State has a larger territory and looks stronger.
Li Xun appeared in Liaodong City with the incarnation of Emperor Tao. He analyzed the battlefield situation with Zhao Polu in the large account of the Chinese Army. The savage tribe, although from the beginning of the founding of the country, has studied everywhere to emulate my Datang, and has the reputation of being a prosperous country in the East, but its national strength is actually very common. "
In the history of the earth, Yaluabaoji finally destroyed the Bohai State, and it was easy.
"Your Majesty means that we first attacked the Bohai Sea and solved this flanking threat?" Zhao Polu asked tentatively.
Li Xun shook his head. "Since the founding of the country, the Bohai State has accepted the imperial court. Before Anshi's rebellion, tribute continued for years, and his attitude is very respectful. He has sent a ambassador to the past. As long as the Bohai King is not confused, he should know that he will submit to Tang Is the only option. "
Now that Li Zhi has made arrangements, Zhao Polu can only express his admiration for Li Zhi's early plans.
Zhao Polu did not ask why the Bohai State could conquer, and why it was necessary to use soldiers for Silla. This question will not be asked by any knowledgeable Tang people.
In the words of the Central Plains, the people in the land of Silla are the back bones of their heads, that is, the non-ethnic people have different hearts and are very stubborn. They can only be conquered with iron hoofs. There is no option of adversity.
When the world attacked the Tang Dynasty before, the Bohai State was under the coercion of the Khitan, although it also stood on the opposite side of the Tang Dynasty, but from the beginning to the end, it did not send a soldier and a soldier, but it was Silla, and it was no longer connected with the Tang Dynasty. The country cut from it and still sent many monks to the Khitan Army to assist in the war.
It's just that Silla's strength is too small, and their monks have no sense of existence at all.
"If the Bohai State knows the advance and retreat, the army can go straight to the south bank of Yashui River, and the soldiers will directly approach the Datong River. If they do not know the advance and retreat, the topography of the Bohai State can be used to drive straight ahead. The power of riding. "
Li Ye was proud and complacent, but Zhao Polu nodded again and again.
Although the Wolffang Army's new ride is only 30,000, it already has the combat power of vertical and horizontal grasslands. This is a fact, and it does not need modesty at all.
At this time, Li Min suddenly remembered something.
This battle with Silla will inevitably occupy all its territories. The next thing to do is to manage this unruly place. Iron-blooded wrists are naturally indispensable. For example, a large number of people who migrate here to Jiangnan, but at the same time, they also need to domesticate the stubborn people here.
When it comes to educating the people, there is no way to release the door, no matter how the door is, it is far less capable than Confucianism.
