Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 570 Counterattack, counterattack, counterattack again

When Wang Jian attacked Chu, in order to let the soldiers have no burden in their hearts and go to the battlefield easily, he specially let them have fun in the barracks. He didn't order the soldiers until the soldiers were bored playing with stones. In the land of Sunan, Xiang Yan, the famous general of Chu State, died in battle.The capital, Jingdi, was captured, and the king of Chu, Chu Chu, was captured alive within a year.The huge state of Chu was also annexed by the king of Qin and became the prefectures and counties of the state of Qin.

Unlike Wang Jian, Li Chengqian took turns to have the bodies of the dead soldiers collected by the various ministries, and at the same time let the soldiers from the front line go to the various ministries in turn to preach how fierce and brutal the Tubo people were, and how our soldiers died with the enemy. One after another, they asked the generals of their troops to submit to the prince with blood letters, and they wanted to fight the Tubo people to the death.

"Ying Xiao" has always been the most feared by military strategists. Shi Su, the commander of the army, reminded Li Chengqian once and for all that if there is a deviation in doing so, it will not only cost the lives of more than 20 troops, but will also destroy the land of Southwest Shu. Become an opponent, so it's better to stop.

But as for the crown prince, he called Li Daozong and Niu Jinda, two deputy chief executives, and asked them to explain in detail how he had people "spread rumors" in the army. At the same time, Li Chengqian also introduced him to a new The word "Tuoer" makes Su Shichang, a long history proficient in military affairs, one head and two big.

He could barely understand that "Tuoer" was nothing more than an indignant who spread rumors, but what is meant by "restricted guidance", how can people's thoughts be controlled.In view of this, Su Shichang expressed in no uncertain terms that he could not accept this point of view. Of course he understood the truth that the underdog must win, but these are all tricks that should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary. What is it to move out now!

Under the sound of rumbling war drums, Su Dingfang's troops took the Death Battalion as the vanguard, shield soldiers, and a crossbowman as the cover. , Pikemen and cavalry followed up and launched a fierce attack on the city of Asong occupied by the Tubo army.

Originally, Yasun was a very strong cement city, but after changing hands several times, it seemed to have been plowed by batches of trebuchets countless times, so the defense it currently has is very limited.

In addition, the Tang army's trebuchet tilted the fierce fire oil regardless of the cost, causing the Tubo people wearing leather armor and animal skins to suffer. Suddenly, a group of soaring people rose from the top of the city. asked.

Su Dingfang personally acted as the vanguard of the siege, and this guy went into battle shirtless, carrying a Mo Dao and his own soldiers, rushed to the bottom of the city, grabbed the siege ladder, and took the lead in climbing the city.Not far from him was the Chinese army led by Xie Yingdeng. In addition to commanding the formation, his main task was to suppress the enemy troops on the top of the city as much as possible and provide reliable cover and support for Su Dingfang.Luo Cheng, who was standing at the end, led his troops eagerly to meet and wait. Once the city gate was breached, he could make a final decision and lead his troops to fight in the streets.

The generals of the Tang army often take the lead when fighting, in order to inspire the army's morale and fully display the combat effectiveness of the troops.

But Su Dingfang was different. As the deputy general manager of the Tang army and the commander-in-chief of the siege force, it is reasonable to say that he should be in charge of commanding from behind.But this guy followed his teacher Li Jing, and they are all characters who like to gnaw hard bones by themselves. Isn't the Yinshan War back then the best example!Therefore, it is nothing unusual to rely on the deputy commander of the first army to fight hand-to-hand on the front line.

On the hillside less than five miles away from Asong City, Li Chengqian, Su Shichang and others stood side by side to watch the battle below.The fight in the front is lively, and there are naturally some people who can't sit still. Li Daozong and Niu Jinda have sent three waves of people to ask for reinforcements. It can be seen that these two veterans can't sit still.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill all the Tibetans!"

"Kill, kill, avenge the dead brothers!"

"Kill, kill the plateau and let the Tibetans know the inviolability of the next heaven!".
Amidst the countless roars, seeing the siege troops gather all their grievances on the three-foot blade, Su Shichang closed his mouth. He had to admit that he was old and couldn't keep up with the thinking of young people. Perhaps it is the reason why the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead.

"His Royal Highness, the old minister has seen some battles more or less. His Majesty also fought a lot of bad battles when he was in Wude, but this is the first time he has seen such a crazy soldier. The deputy commander is the first to fall into the battle. The battle has reached this point. If you don’t win for the sake of it, then it’s really unreasonable.”

Hehe, "Su Changshi can talk now. You are more people than Zheng Guogui. If he was present, he would definitely join Su Dingfang." During the conversation, Li Chengqian shook his armor and sat on the ground, then waved to Su Shichang, gesturing for him Sit down and talk.

"If a dynasty wants to last for a long time, it depends first on the governance of the monarch and courtiers, and on the other hand it depends on the brave army. The two are indispensable. The Qin and Han Dynasties conquered the world with their army, but it was because the country had been in peace for a long time, from the monarch to the army. He lost his blood, that's why he died and the country was destroyed for the world to laugh at.

Our dynasty also started from the army, so we must rely on conquests to ensure the strong combat effectiveness of the army, so that neighboring countries dare not spy on the Central Plains, so that the people can live and work in peace.Blindly convincing people with reason and repaying grievances with virtue is the way of a concubine and should not be the foundation of governing the country. "

Hearing that the crown prince hated the doctrine of the mean so much, Su Shichang couldn't help but smile and bow his head. Young people should have the vitality that young people should have. They are lifeless, and serious Confucianists can't govern the country well.It is conceivable that if he is allowed to rule for a generation, Datang will definitely be like Zhenguan.

It is said that the king of Wei is two completely different people from the one in front of him. He is the fourth son of the emperor who restrains himself and restores the courtesy and benevolence.By now, he understood why His Majesty valued the eldest son so much, and released Enrong's exceptional fourth son to the feudal domain.

Just when the two were chatting happily, the gate of Asong City was finally breached, and Luo Cheng's troops galloped into the city like a bolt of lightning at lightning speed.

Li Daozong and Niu Jinda's troops on the left and right also reacted very quickly, and directly pulled the troops to Su Dingfang's initial attack position, and only waited for them to clear out the remnants of the enemy before launching the pursuit. So far, it has really opened up the defeat of the Tubo Eastern Expedition curtain.

"His Royal Highness, the old minister has a question, please enlighten me. If you and Lu Dongzan were switched positions, how would you turn defeat into victory in this battle?"

Hehe, "Su Changshi, it's useless to talk too much. There are not so many ifs in this world." After speaking, Li Hui ordered that the Chinese army guarding the big flag should move forward, and the battle flag of the Tang Dynasty should also be planted in Tubo. on the land. .
