Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 119 The beginning of an unprecedented war!

"Your Highness, you are finally here!"

at this time,

A group of soldiers in white robes were walking slowly towards the front, and the leader was Pei Xingjian from the Yaoguang Camp.

Pei Xingjian's face was full of smiles at this moment.

This was because of Li Chengdao's arrival, and also because they were finally no longer fighting alone.

at the moment,

Although the Tang Dynasty had no power that could pose a threat to the Yaoguang Camp, more than half of their members had been killed. This was ultimately a thorn in Pei Xingjian's heart.

He is afraid, he is scared!
just in case….
If an army like Chai Shao's were to emerge to kill them, what would the Yaoguang Camp do?
Therefore,
They were always worried about being attacked by the Tang army.

That would be fine if it was during the heyday of the Yaoguang Camp.

But now is not the heyday.

He was extremely worried.

And now,
With the arrival of Li Chengdao and the 400,000 Great Yan troops led by General Kaiyang, such worries no longer existed.

Safe!
The remaining troops of their Yaoguang Camp are completely safe!
The arrival of these 400,000 troops also represents another thing, that is, the full-scale invasion of the Tang Dynasty from south to north has officially begun!

"General Pei, how is the situation recently?"

Li Chengdao asked Pei Xingjian.

He actually knew a lot about Jiangdong, but there were some things he didn't know because of the delay in delivering letters. Now that he had come here, it would obviously be more appropriate to ask Pei Xingjian directly.

When Pei Xingjian heard this, his expression turned serious from the smile at the beginning.

After all, this involves serious business, so he needs to be serious.

Pei Xingjian thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, the current situation in Jiangdong is treacherous and changeable. After my Yaoguang Camp annihilated Chai Shao's Qingzhou Cavalry last time, Jiangdong no longer has any available troops that can pose a threat to my Yaoguang Camp."

"No, in fact, the danger still exists. It's just that the Tang army that can threaten our Yaoguang Camp is still on the way and has not arrived at the battlefield to fight with our army in Wangshi Bay in the first place."

"It is precisely because of this that our army was able to get a chance to catch its breath and continue to collect intelligence from the counties of Jiangdong."

"Now, our army has a complete understanding of the intelligence of each county in Jiangdong, and at the same time, we also know the movements of the Tang army."

"In fact, it's mainly the Tang army that didn't hide any strategy. They couldn't hide it because the Sixteen Guards were all here!"

"All Tang troops are being mobilized to Jiangdong and gathered at Rujiang Bay, trying to use the terrain there to completely cut off our army's advance!"

"In addition, there are three county towns and sixteen towns in the southern part of Rujiang Bay. Now... the Tang Dynasty has evacuated them all, leaving only empty cities."

"Their strategic intention is very clear. They are trying to isolate our army south of Rujiang Bay and prevent our army from invading other parts of Jiangdong."

"And this time, the Tang army has assembled at least hundreds of thousands of troops, and they... are led by Li Jing!"

The words fell.

Li Chengdao's pupils shrank slightly.

Li Jing...leading?
He frowned slightly.

He was well aware of Li Jing's strength ten years ago.

Especially when it comes to commanding large armies, Li Jing...it's no exaggeration to call him the military god of all ages.

Li Chengdao had never expected that he would encounter such a strong enemy in his first battle in the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, General Su Dingfang, who was in charge of commanding the landing of Tianxuan Camp, had completed the command and came to meet Li Chengdao.

"The entire Tianxuan Camp has landed. As for our 400,000-strong army, they are still landing in Wangshi Bay one by one. It will take at least a day and a night for such a large army to land. And this landing... is under the full responsibility of Kaiyang."

As he spoke, he saw Pei Xingjian, his expression changed slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"General Pei, are you still alive?"

Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "Yes, I am still alive and have survived another battle, but..."

Speaking of which,

Pei Xingjian thought of Xue Wanche who died in Liangzhou and sighed, "Tianji...died in battle."

After the words fell, Su Dingfang did not answer.

Just lowered his head dejectedly.

He had also heard about this incident, and when he heard that Xue Wanche had died in battle, his face was full of disbelief.

He couldn't believe it,
Xue Wanche will die on the battlefield of the Tang Dynasty because among the Seven Star Generals, Xue Wanche's fighting style is the most stable and self-preserving.

Xue Wanche's Tianji Battalion was also the one with the least casualties among the seven battalions. During the ten years of war against the West, there were many battles, and Xue Wanche led the Tianji Battalion to fight the wars and always maintained zero casualties.

This landing operation against Datang,

When he heard that Xue Wanche and Pei Xingjian had already exchanged fire with the Tang army, the first thing he thought of was that Pei Xingjian might have died in battle. As for the possibility of Xue Wanche's death, he had never even thought about it.

But….
The result was extremely unexpected.

Xue Wanche did not die in the battle. Instead, he believed that Pei Xingjian was still alive and well and had achieved a perfect victory.

Chai Shao was beheaded on the horse.

In order to advance the Great Yan army, we must destroy an absolutely powerful enemy!

"He... Well, I can only say that this war, for you, for me, and for everyone else, is different from fighting the West."

As he spoke, Su Dingfang looked up at the sky, feeling emotional: "After all, we once left here in defeat. There are too many famous generals and elite troops hiding here. If we, the Great Yan, challenge them, we can only say that... we are evenly matched."

Before Pei Xingjian could answer, Li Chengdao nodded and said, "Yes, but this is... a battle that must be fought."

"This is the common wish of us and our fellow soldiers who died in those years. To kill the King of Qin!"

Pei Xingjian nodded seriously: "Your Highness, that's right!"

Li Chengdao took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and said, "Li Jing has already gathered the army at Rujiang Bay. This matter...will be left to Kaiyang to decide how to deal with it."

"After all, he is in charge of the large army's battle this time, and he is the only one who can fight against Li Jing and be evenly matched with him."

"Tell Kaiyang about this. In addition, since there are empty cities south of Rujiang Bay, our army will be relocated in these counties and a dozen towns. After several months of long sea trek, our army should have a good rest."

"Of course, Li Jing is a military god. He has an extremely strong grasp of the opportunity. He may take advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on our army. These matters... well, let Kaiyang decide."

"Let him work out a strategy on how to deal with Li Jing and how to start the next arrangements."

"As for General Pei, the two thousand reserve troops of the Yaoguang Camp have also arrived for this landing. They will all be incorporated into your team. Integrate them and reshape the Yaoguang Camp."

"After this, your mission will be very difficult. Take advantage of this period of integration to rest well and... prepare yourself for the upcoming great war!"
