Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 393

In March of the second year of Qianyuan, Li Fei took Li Guangbi as the commander-in-chief and Yuan Kui as the deputy commander to lead five armies. Two artillery battalions attacked Bohai State, intending to completely destroy Bohai State and merge it into the territory of Anton.

Originally, with the strength of the Bohai Kingdom, dispatching two armies and one artillery battalion would be enough to destroy it, but this time, apart from attacking the Bohai Kingdom, they also planned to take the opportunity to train new soldiers.

In addition, Li Fei took Lu Xin as the commander-in-chief and Wu Sheng as the deputy commander and sent five pure cavalry troops to attack Huihe westward.

The attack on Huihe this time was not to destroy Huihe, but to plunder the cattle and sheep population, weaken Huihe's strength and train soldiers, and at the same time, it was also regarded as revenge for Huihe who intercepted and killed him in the grassland.

Li Fei taught Lu Xin, Wu Sheng, Luo Ying and other five army commanders the various tactics of the Mongolian cavalry sweeping the grassland hundreds of years later, allowing them to practice in the process of going deep into the Huihe grassland.How much effect will be achieved in the end, Li Fei does not know for the time being.

As many as [-] Anton cavalry marched from Chifeng City into the territory of Huihe in multiple ways.

In the north direction, Li Fei also added two armies to Zhang Shuo, allowing him to cross the Songhua River and completely conquer the Shiwei tribes, which is also a military training.

In order to train soldiers, Li Fei blossomed on three sides and was extremely strong.

To the east, Li Guangbi is worthy of being an unworldly famous general who is as famous as Guo Ziyi. After he invaded the territory of Bohai Kingdom, he was like a broken bamboo.

Facing the attack of Anton's army, the king of Bohai Kingdom and the common people were all very angry.

Originally, the Bohai Kingdom had already surrendered to Anton, and they did not dare to make any small moves in the past few years. The treaty signed with Li Fei at the beginning required all the officials of the Bohai Kingdom to learn Chinese, and they were also scrupulously implementing it. Officials can speak Chinese and can write Chinese characters, but Li Fei still sent troops to attack his Bohai country without saying a word.

Looking at the situation this time, it turned out that he was planning to destroy the Bohai Kingdom!

Deceiving too much!
The king of Bohai frantically mobilized the army of the Bohai Kingdom, and soon gathered [-] soldiers. When Li Guangbi was about to kill the capital of the Bohai Kingdom, he fought a decisive battle with Li Guangbi.

In fact, with such a powerful force in command, Li Guangbi could have come to the capital of the Bohai Kingdom long ago, but he deliberately gave time for the King of Bohai to gather all the forces of the Bohai Kingdom together so that they could be wiped out in one battle.

A decisive battle with fundamentally asymmetrical strength began.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The seventy cannons kept roaring, firing shells one after another.

The soldiers of Mo Dao Formation marched in neat steps, advancing like a cold wall of swords.

Iron cavalry is double-sided.

The cannons brought boundless fear to the soldiers of the Bohai Kingdom. Coupled with the strong advance and charge of the Modao formation and the iron cavalry, the morale of the soldiers of the Bohai Kingdom was soon overwhelmed, and the army was defeated like a mountain.

Li Guangbi commanded the encirclement and annihilation of the defeated soldiers of the Bohai Kingdom. Because of the early arrangements, the [-] soldiers of the Bohai Kingdom were wiped out, and none of them escaped. The Anton Army lost less than [-], an absolute victory.

With the loss of one hundred thousand troops, the Bohai Kingdom no longer had the strength to resist, and Li Guangbi went all the way to the capital of the Bohai Kingdom.

The king of Bohai Kingdom was very angry, holding his breath in his heart, so that he was so strong that he was unwilling to open the city gate and surrender, but wanted to rely on the city to resist desperately.

However, Li Guangbi not only brought [-] Andong troops, but also brought two artillery battalions with [-] cannons. Not to mention the city walls of the capital of Bohai, even if Luoyang City passed through Anlu Mountain, it was expanded and thickened in the years of An Qingxu Even the twice as terrifying city wall can't stop it.

In just an hour, Li Guangbi invaded the capital of the Bohai Kingdom, captured the King of Bohai and a large number of officials of the Bohai Kingdom, and the Bohai Kingdom was forcibly destroyed.

"This battle is really comfortable." Li Guangbi only felt comfortable all over.

"This kind of army should be the army of the Tang Dynasty." Li Guangbi looked at the soldiers of the Anton army with high morale and shining armor, and said with emotion.

The previous Datang army was equally high-spirited and well-equipped. Gao Xianzhi dared to go out of Congling with 16 Anxi troops, surrendered to dozens of countries in the Middle East, and even fought to the edge of power. In a fight with the Arab Empire in Talas, [-] fought against [-], of which Anxi Tang's army was less than [-]. Relying on the Mo Dao formation and elite cavalry, the Arab Empire was defeated steadily. If Ge Luolu hadn't turned against him, Win or lose.

Back then, the army of the Tang Dynasty often fought against an enemy army several times its own, how majestic it was.

Looking at the current Datang army, the morale of the soldiers is low, and the armor and equipment are scarce. They are not much better than the mobs in the rebels.

Li Guangbi had already been disappointed with Datang, and became more at ease to play for Li Fei.

When the good news spread to Liaoyang City, Li Fei did not fluctuate much. He expected to destroy the Bohai Kingdom. He would be surprised if Li Guangbi could not destroy the Bohai Kingdom for a long time.

"It is easy to destroy the country, but it is not easy to win the hearts of the people." Li Fei also knows that if the Bohai Kingdom is forcibly destroyed, the people of Bohai will not accept it, and the people will inevitably resist his rule, so Li Fei has drawn up a lot of preferential policies to appease the people of the Bohai Kingdom. Lower tax rates during King Balhae's reign and more.

Li Fei believes that in today's era, the national and national consciousness is not strong, and people take food as their genius is the mainstream. As long as they live happier under Li Fei's rule, they will forget the former Bohai Kingdom in a few years. Integrate into Anton.

In the north, all the Shiwei tribes are added together, and the total population is less than 20.

Zhang said that the three armies, 6 people crossed the Songhua River. Although the Shiwei and Wei tribes united to resist, they barely gathered an army of [-] to [-], but they were also easily defeated.

The murderous Mo Dao Lin pushed forward like a wall, Mo Dao slashed hard, and the divine arm crossbow shot dense arrows.

The Shiwei tribes lived on hunting, and every Shiwei soldier had excellent archery skills, but their bows and arrows were too backward, and they couldn't shoot through the steel armor on the soldiers of the Anton Army.

This is not a level contest at all, but a one-sided crush.

The coalition forces of Shiwei's various ministries only lasted for more than an hour before they completely collapsed. Few of the [-] to [-] troops were able to escape back.

These are the vital forces of the Shiwei tribes, and now they are almost wiped out. The Shiwei tribes have no strength to continue to resist, and it is only a matter of time before they completely surrender.

In the west, Lu Xin, Wu Sheng, Luo Ying and other five armies, after [-] Anton cavalry entered Huihe, they did not confront the main force of Huihe, but divided into multiple groups, and continued to attack and plunder at the fastest speed. .

Because Li Fei taught a large number of classic tactics of Temujin's Mongolian cavalry across the grassland hundreds of years later, and the Anton cavalry is well-equipped, with 30 Anton cavalry, the overall combat power is no better than 30 ordinary cavalry, but the Huihe people are unified Mobei Grassland, but the loss of helping Datang to suppress the rebellion, the loss of intercepting and killing Li Fei, the loss of attacking Khitan and being ambushed, etc., now there are only about 7 cavalry left. The iron cavalry, not to mention the Anton iron cavalry did not confront them head-on, and only continued to attack and kill the various tribes of Huihe, so that a large number of tribes were destroyed. Millions of cattle, sheep and horses and more than [-] people were captured, and there were more than [-] people Huihe cavalry were killed one after another, Huihe's vitality was seriously injured, Huihe Khan was so angry that he vomited blood, and regretted provoking Li Fei. He never thought that Li Fei was so powerful.

With three great victories, Li Fei also achieved his goal of training troops, and also got a lot of spoils of war.

At the same time, during this period of time, with the continuous influx of refugees from the Central Plains, plus the population obtained by destroying the Bohai Kingdom and surrendering to the Shiwei tribes, etc., the population of Anton has exceeded 1000 million, and its ruling territory is vast. There is no difference between independent kingdoms, and the Beiping County Palace is a small court.

Anton's political system has undergone several reforms by Li Fei, and it is completely different from the Tang court.

Because Li Fei did not rebel, it is impossible to have six departments like the imperial court, but Li Fei also established the Department of Agriculture, Department of Industry, Department of Finance, Department of Commerce, Department of Education, Department of Road Network, Police Department, Department of Inspection, and Department of Integrity Wait, replace the six departments of the imperial court to run Anton.

It can be said that such a political system with reference to the modernization of later generations is far more advanced than Datang's current political system, and its operation is more efficient and stable.

Because Li Fei has always attached importance to education since he came to Anton. After five or six years, Anton has many people who can learn Chinese characters, various technical subjects, theoretical subjects, etc., and has cultivated a large number of talents. Li Fei is self-reliant. A set of official admission procedures has been established, which can continuously replenish blood for Anton at all levels.

Li Fei can be regarded as "Sima Zhaozhi's heart is known to everyone" in Anton, but few people in Anton have any objections. The stability, strength, and wealth of Anton are in stark contrast to the war in the Central Plains of Hebei. , no one wants to return to the rule of Datang.People depend on food, and what the people care about is never who will be the emperor, but who can bring them a good life.
