Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 330 Confrontation
On the second day when Datang was busy up and down, the smoke from Sichuan also came, representing Tubo to send troops, which made Li Shimin even more irritable, and also increased the pressure on Li Jing, and the wrinkled forehead wrinkles never stretched.

"Mao Gong, I'll leave Longyou Dao to you. We must destroy the Turks as soon as possible, or at least repel them." Li Jing said while looking at the map, rubbing his forehead.

"Pharmacist, don't worry, you will try your best. With the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, there is no problem in winning. Moreover, the Turkic people don't know that we have been prepared for a long time. If we do mental calculations but don't care, we have a great chance of winning." Li Ji said, clasping his fists.

"Turkic attack, Shazhou, Yizhou bear the brunt, I have exchanged with the king of Rencheng County, after the autumn harvest, the people of the two cities will gather in the city, once the enemy is found, all the people will be withdrawn to the city, so that the enemy can not get supplies .

At the same time, the city has also been reinforced with cement. Lord Yi has already set out to support him. With an army of 15, defense is no problem. How to win depends on Mao Gong's means. "Li Jing nodded in agreement with Li Ji's words. The weapons and armor of the Tang Dynasty are much stronger than before. In the past, only officers had armor, and the most elite soldiers had armor composed of leather armor and iron armor.

Now there are 2 or 1 people in full-body armor, and there are more than [-] rattan armors for the guards in Central Shu. The defense is also not weak. The remaining soldiers are at least leather and bamboo armor. Sheepskin is made into armor, and thick dried bamboo pieces are worn with hemp rope on the outside. It has a good effect on preventing swordsmen from cutting, and it is the armor with the largest number of recruits.

And now Datang steel knives and steel guns are available, and the steel shields made of inverted molds are very convenient to make. Because of the limitation of materials, the common people are called on to make many thick wooden shields, which are more than enough to defend against bows and arrows.

Wooden shields are made of many materials and are convenient. They are used to defend against bows and arrows. After a battle, they can be burned as firewood.

It's a pity that the rattan armor is good for defense but the materials are limited. Except for Feng Daiwen's fixed 1 equipment, the rattan armor in Lingnan was provided to the navy. After all, the rattan armor without mud is the best life jacket.

"Duke Yi traveled all night, and he will definitely arrive before the Turks. I will set off with [-] elite soldiers today, and try to wipe them out in one fell swoop." Li Ji looked at the map and analyzed.

"You can choose the weapons and equipment, and I will hold them to other places, waiting for you to return to the teacher for rescue." Li Jing nodded and felt relieved, and strongly supported Li Ji's equipment.

"With these [-] elite cavalry, no matter how many Turks come, if I can't defeat them, what kind of face will I have in court?" Li Ji silently estimated and replied confidently.

"I'm most worried about Shuzhong. Although there are a lot of troops, most of them are Turkic cavalry. I don't feel at ease with them, and the Turkic soldiers are still not good at defending the city." Li Jing was worried that the Eastern Turkic people would not fight well against the Western Turkic people. Except for the west of Liaoning, all the more than 2 Turkic soldiers in the Central Plains were transferred to Shuzhong and put under the command of Li Xiaogong.

"There are 1 old cows, and there are still many young men in Sichuan. I am not worried about defense. I am afraid that the Tubo people will not be able to attack for a long time, and they will flee back. There are not enough troops to attack the plateau." Li. Ji thought for a while and said, regarding the transfer of the Turkic people to guard Shuzhong, this is a decision that has been studied for a long time. This was originally proposed by Li Jing, but now the concern is chaotic, and Li Jing can't help but think too much.

"This battle has been fought, and there will be no powerful countries around in the future. We just need to clean up and take revenge one by one." Seeing that the arrangements have been made, Li Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What the pharmacist said is very true. This time, these bastards will definitely come and go, and they will tremble when they mention Datang in the future." Li Ji made a fist with his right hand and hit the palm of his left palm in agreement.

"Such a big battle is rare in life, only once, this life is enough!" Li Jing said with a slight smile on his serious face.

On October 30th of the fifth year of Zhenguan, [-] Western Turkic troops besieged Yizhou. Li Daozong led [-] elite soldiers and [-] government soldiers to defend the city, while Xue Rengui led [-] elite soldiers and [-] government soldiers to defend Shazhou.

Western Turkic Si Yehu Khan commanded an army to attack Yizhou. Yizhou has been reinforced many times. It can be said that the wall is high and the city is deep.

The elite soldiers recruited by the Tang Dynasty have undergone various trainings. Although not all of them are sharpshooters, everyone can draw a bow and shoot arrows. Adding in the government soldiers, it can be said that most of the guards are archers, and the rest of the government soldiers use shields cover.

It just so happened that the most indispensable thing in the Tang Dynasty was archers, and the [-] army took turns shooting in batches.

The Western Turks stormed for several days, resulting in [-] to [-] casualties, without even touching the city wall. Si Yehu was furious and ordered to continue the storm, but was dissuaded by Cui Tao, leaving behind [-] cavalry, tens of thousands of herdsmen to monitor Yizhou, and turned to attack Sha State.

He was also blocked by Xue Rengui, who dropped nearly ten thousand corpses, and then calmed down. Following Cui Tao's suggestion, he continued to call in reinforcements while besieging Shazhou and waiting for news from other places.

I want to wait for Ashina Nilu to take down the Hetao and come to join us, and I also want to wait for Tuyuhun and other places to achieve victories, so that Datang will retreat without a fight.

On the [-]th of the same month, Ashina led [-] cavalry to attack the new city of Hetao. Although the new city was not big, it was built with big bricks and sand and cement. Although the performance of cement was poor, it was comparable to bluestone.

Outside the city, there are several black castles connected together, looking at each other from the city. Zhang Gongjin has been stationing troops here, carrying out military settlements, farming is labor, and leisure is training.

The army station is now the routine of the Tang soldiers stationed at the border. Not to mention the income, at least part of the grain and grass can be filled, and there are firemen raising poultry, which can be regarded as self-sufficient. The imperial court also encourages this, and part of the savings will be used as a subsidy Therefore, the soldiers are also willing, after all, it is impossible to train every day.

Just when Ashina Niguo was bloodied in Hetao, Yi Nan also ran into big trouble when he attacked Yinshan.

Lu's and Zheng's Ubuds are at the forefront. There are various generals from the Tang Dynasty, battalion officers leading elite soldiers and young and strong guards. Cheng Yaojin leads [-] cavalry to cruise outside. It cannot attack with peace of mind.

Although Wubao is not big, the wall is very high, and the siege ladder cannot be climbed. The guards on the top will shoot arrows from all the shooting holes, all-round, without dead ends. Occasionally, if a long ladder is about to go up, it will be stretched out. Push it to the ground.

For several days in a row, Yi Nan attacked different Ubud castles, but the results he got were all the same, he made no progress, and instead lost troops.

This made him very regretful after being furious. Originally, Xue Yantuo knew the strength of Datang best, but unfortunately he was blindfolded by lard for a while, thinking that the combined strength of several countries with more than 100 million troops would make Datang messy, so he wanted to take this opportunity Occupy the grasslands that are now extremely rich.

It's a pity that things didn't work out, even the first line of defense couldn't be broken, and they wanted to attack from other places, but what Tang built now was Wubao, and there were everywhere on the grassland, like hedgehogs, who couldn't eat meat when they saw it.
