Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 146 The Beginning

October 29, cloudy, no wind.

Everything has been prepared, and all the details have been carefully considered... Although Liu Heitai's defeat is considered to be a foregone conclusion, as Li Shan said the day before yesterday, a soldier is a major national event, and he must do everything he can.

Tian Liu'an looked at Li Shan with a smile. This young man's learning is extremely heterogeneous, and there are quite a few omissions in what he has learned. His thoughts and thoughts often come from people who have never thought before, but they often don't see what is well known.

Tian Liuan, Ling Jing, and Su Dingfang were able to calculate from Liu Heita's troops' deserters and the load capacity of grain transport ships, etc., but Li Shan used an autopsy to confirm that Liu Heita's troops were indeed short of food.

Although it was only three or four days, it had already decided Liu Heita's fate.

Standing on the top of the wall, Li Shan looked at the back of the army with a serious face... In fact, he was quite upset in his heart. He was a few months late in the Luoyang Hulao battle.

In the first battle of Xiabo, Tang Jun would be defeated, and he ran away with a pale face in a hurry, seeing nothing.

This time, I dare not say that I am too sure, but if I am on a ship in the Yongji Canal, I should be able to watch the battle safely... Li Shan is very interested in the field battle of tens of thousands of troops.

But it's a pity that Li Shan's riding skills... Even on the boat, the big guys are not at ease. If something goes wrong, you can escape if you can ride a horse, but you, Li Shan, are hard to say. If you are not good, you may fall. The horse died.

To be on the safe side, from Tian Liu'an to Su Dingfang, from Li Daoxuan to Li Kai, they all firmly kept Li Shan in Guantao City.

"Nearly a thousand cavalry and six hundred infantry." Ling Jing said softly, "If the timing is right, it will be enough to defeat the enemy."

In this battle, Li Daoxuan, Su Dingfang, and Liu Jun led [-] cavalry in front, Tian Liu'an, Xue Zhong and others led [-] cavalry in the rear, and Wang Junkuo was ordered to lead [-] fine cavalry to join in the west.

In total, the number of troops going south did not exceed 2000, even if Cheng Mingzhen and Qi Shanxing were added, the number did not exceed 5000, and the strength of Liu Heita's troops should be around [-].

But at all times and in all over the world, victory or defeat on the battlefield has never been determined by the number of troops.

"Tian Liu'an is the most stable of the six guards' mansions around Prince Qin's mansion. He never sends troops easily, but once he sends troops, he will probably win a big victory." Li Kai on the side comforted softly.

Li Shan nodded slightly, and he could tell during this period of time, "Director Tian is lacking in vigor, but he plans to fight decisively and not wastefully, so he should partner with brother Daoxuan."

Li Kai stopped talking, silently looked at Tang Jun who was going away, and occasionally glanced at Li Shan standing aside from the corner of his eye.

After being separated for several months and reunited again, Li Kai had a new understanding of Li Shan. He felt that this trip to Shandong had allowed Li Shan, a jade that had been dusted for a long time, to be washed slowly by the spring, and finally bloom in front of the world. shine brightly.

Hearing the noise below, Li Kai lowered his head and glanced, Yuchi Baolin who wanted to go out of the city was dragged away by several soldiers... Li Shan said that he was not allowed to fight, but in the end this guy couldn't even get out of the city gate.

Li Shan snorted, more than an hour ago, he was still thinking about going south with the army, but was robbed by Yuchi Baolin... I can't go, but I can't make you go too.

What a pity, in fact, Guantao is not far from Wei County, Li Shan's thoughts suddenly let go, and they flew to nowhere.

I should have started farming with technology since I traveled through time last year, so I have to stick to it... Otherwise, I can at least make a telescope now, right?
Maybe penicillin can be made out!

In the end, I blame that bastard Li Dewu... If it wasn't for this guy, would I need a dog?
This time I went back to Chang'an, the first thing I did was to go to Prince Qin's mansion... That guy Li Dewu can use tricks to get me to come to Hebei Road, maybe the tricks will be more ruthless later on.

Li Shan pondered in his heart, the second thing should be scientific and technological farming, looking for cotton, getting a telescope, horseshoes can wait, but you can try penicillin...

Li Shan's body trembled. He thought about it carefully. It was difficult to get penicillin, but it was not impossible... The problem was, how to confirm it was penicillin?

When making penicillin, it is easy to get the by-product patulin. The two amyloids are very similar, except that patulin is highly toxic.

Whether it's penicillin or patulin, if you don't care about the dose and the effect, it's like playing hooligans... But if the dose goes up, well, life and death will be decided instantly!
This is really a bit difficult to do.

"Look, that's a ship from Yongji County."

Ling Jing's reminder interrupted Li Shan's thoughts. He turned his head and saw more than a dozen grain transport ships heading southwest along the Yongji Canal.

Li Shan tilted his head and stared at Yongjiqu, thought for a while and beckoned to Yuchi Baolin, "You can leave the city if you want to, I'll give you something."

……

It was Liu Heita who felt something was wrong first.

Since he was a child, he was cunning and domineering, addicted to alcohol and gambling. He first voted for Wagang, and then became attached to King Xia. Liu Heita had a clever mind and often made judgments that no one thought of by using some information that everyone knew.

It was already the third day, the army besieged Wei County, and the grain transport ships went south along the Yongji Canal every day, but the Qi Shanxing and Cheng Mingzhen departments on the other side of the river never retreated, and the blockade of bridges and ferries became more stringent.

This made Liu Heitai uneasy, Cheng Mingzhen was fine, but Qi Shanxing was always known for being cautious...But suddenly he received a report from the scouts, the Tang army in Guantao City attacked, hundreds of cavalry took the lead to go south.

Liu Heikai thought about it and couldn't figure it out. Before attacking the city, the Tang army in Guantao City made great gains in two attacks. Afterwards, he lured the enemy several times and tried to win in the field. However, the Tang army was strictly guarded and refused to send troops.

Why did Guantao City send troops south at such a critical moment?
Why is it the time when I, Qi Shanxing, and Cheng Mingzhen are confronting each other?
And it happened when the army was short of food?
However, Liu Heikai was not in a panic. The grain ships that floated in from the Yongji Canal every day kept the morale of the army at a certain level... I can't say how high it is, but everyone knows that the army is not short of food and grass.

"Only four or five hundred cavalry?"

"No more than six hundred cavalry." Wang Xiaohu said affirmatively, "The scouts report that there are hundreds of infantry behind the cavalry."

Liu Heikai sneered a few times, "If you want to attack back and forth, you don't want to see if you have the appetite... You will lead two thousand cavalry to attack, and you will defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"

Fan Yuan, Gao Yaxian, Dong Kang and other old people died in battle one after another. Wang Xiaohu was already the number one general under Liu Heitai's camp. It is also attached to the Yongji Canal, so there must be food in storage.”

Watching Wang Xiaohu lead his army northward, Liu Heitai sighed deep in his heart. The cavalry under Wang Xiaohu's command is already the direct line of the direct line, but now they can't get enough to eat, and the horses are losing weight. It's over.

At this moment, on the Yongji Canal, dozens of grain transport ships slowly appeared in sight, Liu Heita was surprised for a while, it should have only gone south in the afternoon, why did they let them go down at this time?

Among the army on the other side of the river, Cui Xianshou, who didn't know the inside story, shouted, "Ma Zhou's staff must be Liu Heitai in the dark, the general should retreat immediately..."

"To shut up!"

The sound of shouting resounded on the small hill. Ma Zhouyi held Cui Xianshou's collar with his hands, but turned his face to Yongji Canal. He was pleasantly surprised to see that raging flames ignited on the grain transport ship, covering the entire area in a very short time. the entire Yongji Canal.
