Great Tang Broom Star

It was Jia Ping'an's idea to put the Suzaku banner at the forefront.

Since the crown prince is in command, let's be bold and show off all the way.

When the army came out of Qiuci, the people were very excited, and some even came to work as soldiers, and they only asked for a word.

"Defeat Tubo!"

The Turks have their spine broken, so they can only be harassed, not a big threat.

Tubo is different, they have the urgent ambition to station troops in Anxi, and they also have this strength.

"Found the enemy!"

The scout retreated like a tide.

Jia Ping'an has already seen the big banner on the top of the city.

"It's not lost, it's okay."

Li Hong was excited, "It is said that Tubo has an army of 300,000, but is it going to go to war?"

"It's still early."

Jia Pingan explained: "It is not easy to fight with hundreds of thousands of troops, and no one will rush forward."

"Why?"

"It's hard to command in a swarm."

Communication in this era basically relies on roaring, and there are gongs and horns in the army, plus flags as a means of command. But once the charge starts, who still remembers to look back at the banner of the Chinese army? We can only know whether to attack or retreat, and there is no way to pass on detailed military orders.

"Unless it is a general attack during a decisive battle, it is impossible to swarm up."

Li Hong understood.

Li Jingye is back.

"Brother, I beheaded more than twenty people."

This mallet!

Jia Ping'an frowned and said, "Are you in charge?"

Li Jingye said proudly: "You must be the first to win."

In front of you, you can already see a dense mass of enemy troops that can't be seen.

"Duke, do you want to set up camp?"

The army naturally camped in Shule City.

Jia Pingan shook his head,

"Here you are, let's say hello to Lu Dongzan first."

"go ahead!"

The big flag is waved, and the flags should be everywhere.

The cavalry is in front, and the scouts are cruising around the army.

Numerous flags fluttered in the wind in the Chinese army.

This is the beginning of the war of the country.

After the army passed the south of the city, Jia Pingan ordered: "One hundred steps away from the city!"

Gao Kan said, "Try Lu Dongzan's courage?"

Jia Pingan nodded.

The army marched slowly.

A hundred steps away from the city.

The grand battlefield gradually quieted down.

Lu Dongzan has seen the banner.

"It's Jia Pingan who is here."

Tang Jun actually appeared here, what does it mean?

"Prince, the Tang army actually dispatched troops earlier than us!"

how did you do that?

Lu Dongzan said: "After the Tang army defeated the Turks, there must be someone who thought that Tubo would send troops. Who is this person?"

No one answered.

Tang Jun rode out of the formation.

He took a closer look at the Tubo formation, then shouted loudly.

"What is he calling?"

Lu Dongzan couldn't hear it.

But the array is too huge, from the front to the center, even riding a horse takes a while.

On the opposite side, Jia Ping'an smiled and said, "Prince, I'll take you to have a look."

Liu Renyuan was startled.

Gao Kan was also stunned.

Li Hong was quite excited, and nodded calmly, "Okay."

The prince moved.

Dozens of cavalry escorted him and Jia Pingan out of the Chinese army.

The Suzaku flag and the Jia character flag followed behind.

The soldiers of the Tang army looked back at this scene, and an old soldier said, "I think of the late emperor!"

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Jia Pingan and Li Hong rushed out of the formation.

"President, those people are calling Your Highness!"

Lu Dongzan was also surprised.

"Is the prince of the Tang Dynasty here?"

That boy even came to Anxi!

"Major Minister, the Tang army has more than 60,000 infantry and 50,000 to 60,000 cavalry."

"More than one hundred thousand troops."

Lu Dongzan squinted his eyes, "If the 60,000 infantry are elite, this is a battle that will destroy the country!"

Jia Pingan took Li Hong out of the formation and headed towards the enemy formation all the way.

The prince's guards were pale, they didn't worry about their own life and death, they were already mentally prepared to fight and die for the prince when they got here. But what about the prince?

Jia Ping rode his horse ahead, slightly ahead of Li Hong.

This may seem impolite, but no one questioned it.

If the situation is not right, Jia Ping'an can protect the prince.

Li Hong was trembling all over.

This is his first experience in battle.

He looked ahead, and the endless enemy formation seemed like a bottomless abyss.

There are many spears, but the infantry is silent.

Is this an army formation?

The enemy cavalry moved out and came around from the two wings.

Li Hong glanced at his uncle, wondering if he still wants to withdraw?

"Look, prince."

Jia Pingan didn't seem to see the enemy cavalry coming around, pointed to the front and said: "This is the Tubo army, the infantry is in formation, the cavalry is on the two wings and the central army, so they can adapt to changes."

Li Hong nodded.

The enemy cavalry on both wings began to accelerate.

"Look at the enemy's middle army, Lu Dongzan is there."

Li Hong took a look, but couldn't see anything clearly.

Lu Dongzan is looking at Gu!

Li Hong straightened his back and subconsciously drew his saber.

Interesting boy!

Jia Pingan smiled, as if seeing a little beast baring its teeth at the enemy!

This is the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking about those princes who were raised in deep palaces in later generations, Jia Pingan felt that it was unreasonable for such a dynasty not to perish.

How can an emperor who doesn't know the world rule the country?

How does he control his subjects, how does he control the army and the people?

Under this kind of inheritance, it is God's eyes to be able to produce a wise king, and the possibility of producing mediocre people is higher.

Li Zhi knew this, he didn't want to be such a king. When his personal conquest was blocked by the officials at the beginning, when his subsequent prestige increased greatly and he was able to act arbitrarily, he was sick and unable to realize his wish back then.

But this wish has now been realized by Li Hong.

"go back."

Jia Ping'an's words made Li Hongcai wake up, his excitement dissipated, and he followed him back to protect him.

The cavalry came and blocked Li Hong from the left and right sides.

Jia Pingan didn't move.

He unhurriedly drew his bow and set his arrows.

Hand loose.

One fell off the horse.

Hand loose.

Falling off a horse...

Years of hard training made him a rare archer, and he shot a pot of arrows at the fastest speed.

"Your Highness is mighty!"

More than 100,000 soldiers shouted.

Li Hong's face was slightly red, and for the first time he was interested in fighting.

He looked back, and saw that his uncle had calmly retracted his bow, reined in his horse, and looked ahead.

The cavalry on both sides approached the enemy.

After a fight, they each retreated.

"Jia Ping'an is good at archery."

Lu Dongzan had already approached the front.

He can see Jia Pingan.

Jia Pingan also saw him, so he smiled slightly.

Hands up!

wave!

It's like meeting an old friend for many years.

Lu Dongzan waved with a smile.

The two enemies are like friends, it's just a matter of pleasantries.

"One battle to decide the male and female!"

Jia Ping'an's voice passed over, and then it was passed to Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan didn't answer.

His city is extremely deep, so such aggressive methods are naturally useless.

What is the reason for the Tubo army to attack the city without success? Morale is not high. It is stupid to fight at this moment.

"The army retreats and camps!"

The Tubo army retreated.

Interesting!

Jia Ping'an turned around, and then the city gate opened wide.

"I have seen His Highness!"

The soldiers and civilians in Shule City shouted frantically.

"Your Highness!"

They feel that they are children abandoned by Chang'an, especially when the city was almost destroyed before.

But reinforcements came.

And the prince himself led the army.

This is Chang'an's favor for Anxi.

In an instant, countless people were willing to die for Datang!

"Military morale does not come from illusory morality, but identity."

Jia Ping'an's words seemed to repeat what he said a while ago, but Li Hong understood the different meanings inside.

He waved lightly, eliciting a round of cheers.

When we got to the place and settled down, the guard Wang Chunyang came to see him.

After listening to the briefing, Jia Ping got up and said, "Thank you."

This is the sincerest appreciation.

Ashnapol followed, pleading guilty as soon as he came in.

Jia Pingan said indifferently: "If you encounter an enemy, you will be defeated. Are you here to fight or to dawdle?"

Ashnapol knelt down, "The lower officials are guilty."

He knew that he couldn't justify himself at this moment, otherwise Jia Ping'an would beat him hard with a whip.

"Flee without fighting before the battle, and write it down."

The army Sima agreed.

Chang Shi Li Jingye said in a nonchalant manner: "We should be punished."

Jia Pingan glanced at him, "Go down."

Li Jingye prepared to go out in desperation.

Li Hong is here.

"Why is Ashnapole looking depressed?"

Jia Pingan said: "I ordered him to lead an army of 10,000 people forward. This is the vanguard. Shule City was in danger at the time, but as soon as they came into contact, the Turks wanted to flee. The army has no heart to fight."

Ashnapol bowed his head.

Jia Pingan said: "First whip twenty."

"yes."

Ashnapol was taken out.

Li Hong felt sore all over, "Uncle, the Turkic army has no fighting spirit, why should they be recruited?"

"One hero and three gangs."

Jia Ping'an was also very tired, but he still had to pull himself together.

"If the Tang Dynasty wants to rule all directions, it must have its own majesty. Where does the majesty come from? The only family is the only husband, and you have to eat soup for the forces below. Bring these servants, one is The second is to increase their recognition."

"Increase recognition?" Li Hong was puzzled.

"The Tang Dynasty is invincible. Those servants followed to pick up the bargain, and they will naturally spread the word after they return. Prince, not only the merchants need to spread the word, but also the Tang Dynasty."

Li Hong asked again: "What if the Great Tang declines? Don't these servants want to turn their backs?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Jia Pingan couldn't help laughing.

Li Hong didn't know why he was laughing, so he stared at Li Jingye beside him.

Li Jingye is eating jerky.

Such salty jerky!

He wasn't even afraid of being salty anymore.

Li Hong coughed dryly.

Jia Pingan saw it and slapped it away.

"Go and drink water!"

Li Jingye reluctantly took another bite, and then went out to find water to drink.

The journey from Qiuci was very urgent, Jia Pingan urged the army to hurry, and the two meals a day were simple, Li Jingye was greedy.

Li Hong smiled calmly.

Jia Pingan said: "If Datang declines, do you think they won't turn their backs?"

Li Hong was startled.

Jia Pingan thinks that what people in this era lack the most is a kind of jungle thinking.

"The Great Tang is using them now, but why aren't they using the Great Tang? Unless we can gradually turn them into genuine Datang people, otherwise... Prince, remember, be vigilant."

The Turkic tribe is still in a state of detention.

This is the case with the Gongyue Department.

Li Hong nodded.

"When you become strong, they will naturally surrender. If you become weak, they will naturally turn their backs. No need to think, no need to speculate, they will definitely turn their backs."

This is a truth that history has proven countless times.

"So what we have to do is to keep Datang strong and strong, and they will naturally blend in and become a part of Datang."

This is the kingly way.

"Don't be afraid of what will happen to those forces in the future, you should think like this...what will happen to Datang in the future. Those forces will smile humblely when they see the Tang army. This is the kingly way. It is not anxious. "

This is a sign of lack of confidence.

It is also a sense of worry.

But Jia Ping'an feels that the sense of urgency is not as good as being aggressive in many cases.

Li Hong nodded seriously.

"Come on, I'll take you to patrol the camp."

...

Almost 300,000 troops naturally cannot camp together, otherwise they cannot be managed.

The Chinese army is surrounded by many camps, so there is no need to worry about being harassed by the Tang army at night.

Lu Dongzan ate a lot of dinner, and even went to visit the soldiers with great interest.

After returning to his big tent, Lu Dongzan called everyone to discuss the matter.

"Out of the 60,000 infantry, there are 50,000 government soldiers. This is the elite of the Tang Dynasty, supplemented by tens of thousands of servants. It should not be underestimated."

In today's contact battle, Li Jingye was the first to win, and then Jia Pingan shot a pot of arrows, which shocked the Tubo people.

"However, those servants are just here to hang out. It's okay to fight well. Once the battle goes against them, these people will be the first to escape."

Lu Dongzan analyzed methodically.

"However, the arrival of the prince of the Tang Dynasty can boost the morale of the Tang army."

Someone asked: "Prime Minister, why didn't Li Zhi come here?"

Lu Dongzan said: "Li Zhi's old illness has relapsed, and now the empress is in power."

"Great Prime Minister, so...if Li Hong can be captured or killed, and Li Zhi falls, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be in chaos."

"I've thought about it, but it's useless to imagine it. You need to wait and fight in a down-to-earth manner."

Lu Dongzan said: "Our army continues to attack the city, and we will rest tomorrow."

That night, both the Tang army camp and the Tubo camp were harassed.

The Tang army's camp had been prepared for a long time, and a meal of gunpowder flew over, and the Tubo people who harassed the Tubo people who blew up rushed forward.

The Tang army who went to attack the Tubo camp did not please them. Just as they were about to set fire, the camp was brightly lit, and then a wave of arrow rain caused Tang army a lot of losses.

In this wave of harassment, the two sides are evenly divided!

"interesting."

Jia Ping received the news lying in bed.

"sleep!"

...

On the second day, both the Tang army and the Tubo army rested tacitly, and only the scouts and rangers were left to strangle.

"This outpost must check the enemy's movements, and don't be touched by the enemy."

Jia Pingan gave orders, Ashnapol bowed his head and obediently.

Immediately, a cavalry battle broke out.

The two sides continued to send cavalry to reinforce.

"Send all the Turkic cavalry."

Jia Ping'an looked calm, and immediately drank tea.

"This is the last comfort before the war, enjoy it to the fullest."

Li Hong nodded, he was a little excited and nervous, and even more excited after drinking tea.

Jia Pingan looked at the map seemingly leisurely.

"Shule is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has abundant water sources. Such places are naturally suitable for war."

Li Hong came over and took a look, "There is no way to hide soldiers in the mountains."

"Why hide soldiers?" Jia Pingan pointed to Shule City, "Our army camped in Shule City, not close to the mountains, so there is no need to worry about this. But... the art of war has always been consistent."

Then Liu Renyuan was invited.

"The terrain on the left side is good. You attack with 10,000 people, go around to the flank of the enemy's camp, and give them a guy."

Liu Renyuan asked: "Is there any request?"

"Follow the trend."

Liu Renyuan understands, "Partial teacher."

"right."

Liu Ren is willing to lead the army to set off.

"Maybe a sneak attack?" Li Hong said, "I have seen many battle cases, and there are many successful sneak attacks."

Datang is a veteran of sneak attacks. Since Li Jing's era, there have been countless examples of successful sneak attacks.

"The opposite is Lu Dongzan, and the sneak attack hardly needs to consider the possibility of success."

Lu Dongzan's city is extremely deep, and this kind of people are the best at trying to figure out people's hearts and human nature. The first thing he does when fighting an army is to beware of being attacked.

Li Hong wondered, "Then why did you send people to sneak attack?"

"It's pinning."

Jia Pingan laughed and said, "Bring up the spirits of the Tubo people."

Li Hong continued to look at the map, Jia Pingan waited and called Li Jingye.

"You set off with 5,000 people and watch from behind Liu Renyuan. If the enemy army is in an ambush, rescue him."

Facing Lu Dongzan's new opponent, Jia Ping'an's methods are quite satisfactory.

...

"Fighting is the worst thing to be dull."

Lu Dongzan convened a meeting of generals and officials.

A general said: "The Tang army relies on Shule City to set up camp, so it is very difficult to attack."

"I know."

Lu Dongzan said: "The Tang army is far away, and the number is small. Today's rest is a good opportunity to catch up before the battle. Twenty thousand people will go around from the right... The main purpose is to harass. If the Tang army is caught off guard, then rush in. I led the army to cover up and kill immediately."

Such an arrangement could not be more appropriate.

Immediately, Maben led his army to attack.

Lu Dongzan drank tea with a calm expression, and suddenly said: "I have thought about Jia Ping's use of troops, and it can be called cunning. If he had been on guard, he would have made people wait on the flanks, so go 10,000 people and follow behind." , if the Tang army attacks, then it will attack."

Everyone praised.

...

Liu Renyuan is a veteran general, but after all, he is a bit older, so there are few opportunities to reuse him in recent years. For this reason, he held back the fire in his stomach.

"Follow up, follow Yeye to make meritorious service."

Liu Renyuan thought of a lot.

"Look at those young people, all of them are full of heroism. The old man is very happy to see him, but what about the old man? Does Your Majesty think that the old man is getting old?"

Speaking of this, Liu Renyuan is full of anger.

However, there are not many good tempered generals.

Xue Rengui's temper was not good at first, but he was detained by the first emperor in Chang'an City for many years, and his temper has completely changed.

Another one is Cheng Zhijie, he has always had a temperament of planning before acting, never impulsive.

And look at Xue Wanche and other fierce generals, that hot temper... Think about Yu Chigong, when the late emperor entertained important ministers, Yu Chigong felt that the people in front were not qualified to sit there, so he quarreled endlessly. Li Daozong had a good temper, so he came forward to be a peacemaker, and his eyes were almost blown out by this guy's punch.

What kind of wine did the first emperor drink when he saw it? scattered!

"Xiao Jia is still good."

Liu Renyuan said to the lieutenant general: "However, he was cautious. According to the old man's thinking, this kind of sneak attack is useless..."

The lieutenant general said: "Lu Dongzan is old and cunning, so he will naturally be wary of sneak attacks. In this case, it is better to let the brothers rest today."

Everyone nodded.

"what is that?"

Someone with sharp eyes pointed forward and asked.

Liu Renyuan raised his eyes, and saw a crowd of Tubo people rushing towards him.

old man...

The lieutenant was dumbfounded, "I bumped into a Tibetan?!"

And the Tubo people on the opposite side were also confused.

"It's Tang Jun!"

The general was dumbfounded.

Two armies with the same purpose encountered each other.

...

Ask for a monthly pass!
