Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 421
"Da Lu can deal with Datang?" The ministers of the aristocratic families looked at each other and exchanged a few words in a low voice. An old man asked.

"I have carefully thought about it. If you want to break the Great Tang, you have to take the initiative to attack. If you just want to defend the city, all of them will be wiped out by that kind of weapon like thunder." Yuan Gai Suwen explained.

"Proactive"

"Are you sure? How to deal with it!" Everyone asked in a hurry.

"I decided to use the whole country's troops to ambush Datang. All family members and warriors will contribute. The winner will continue to enjoy the glory and wealth. If you lose, everyone will flee to the mountains. Anyway, Datang will not let everyone go. It's better than Waiting to die at home." Yuan Gai Suwen said with a sneer when he was not asking.

Now everyone is silent, after all, they have to contribute all their belongings, and they all think silently in their hearts, and Yuan Gai Suwen is not in a hurry, the old god is waiting, he doesn't believe this group of greedy people, he is willing to wait for death, or Surrender to Datang.

Sure enough, after a while of silence, they began to discuss in twos and threes.

"Damn Lu, we agree with your arrangement. How to do it is up to your orders. We are fighting with Li Tang." A middle-aged man stood up and said.

"That's great, I've picked out a place that must pass through, and now I'm going to arrange elites to go to ambush, wait for the Tang forwards to pass, and immediately fight out to wipe out the Chinese army.

The official has calculated that now the battle, plus the transfer of the Quartet, there are at least 120 million people. When the order is issued, all those over the age of 14 and under 200 will be dispatched. In this way, there will be at least 20 million troops, and 170 will be allocated for backup. Wan Dajun dealt with the former army, surrounded by [-] million people on all sides, fought hard, and defeated Datang with their lives. "Yuan Gai Suwen slapped his palm viciously, took out the map, and pointed on the map.

"We have [-] cavalry. Even if Datang is well-equipped and uses cavalry to attack, it is unbelievable that they are all made of iron." Yuan Gai Suwen continued.

"Okay! I will take out all the food in the house and support you."

"Yes, we will also organize women and children. As a logistics, we must defeat Datang."

"Take out all weapons and equipment, don't hide them."

Now everyone in the hall opened their mouths one after another, donating generously, contributing forcefully, and giving money if they had money.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Gai Suwen finally smiled, inserted his knife into the sheath, stepped forward to chat, and began to divide the power vacuum left by Gao Jianwu's death with everyone.

No one is a fool. They all know that even if they support the king in the future, they are just puppets. Of course they need to work hard and take on heavy responsibilities.

…………

The eighth year of Zhenguan, June!
Li Jing asked people to take civilian husbands, disguised as soldiers, to receive the city and guard the checkpoints all the way, and the cavalry followed hundreds of miles away.

Li Ji, Yu Chigong, and Cheng Zhijie led an army of [-] troops, and unfurled the Li character banner as the Chinese army.

Qin Qiong brought the Henglaiji brothers and led [-] fanatics as the striker.

Liu Hongji, An Xiuren, and Xi Junmai led five thousand fanatics, and ten thousand Japanese slave death squads pretended to escort food and grass as the rear army.

Duan Zhixuan followed the rear army with artillery, musketeers, and [-] transport personnel disguised as civilian husbands.

The three groups of people swaggered all the way to Pingxiang.

All this fell into the eyes of Goguryeo spies, but what they didn't know was that in a farther place, someone saw them clearly with a telescope.

Moreover, if the spies of Goguryeo went beyond the rear army for thirty miles, they would disappear and none of them would return.

The weather in June was hot, and the Tang army always left early and returned late, and they stopped to rest when the day was hot, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry.

This was also Li Jing's deliberate attempt to delay time and consume Goguryeo's food and patience.

If Goguryeo wanted to besieged by an army, it would inevitably need to recruit more people. The food and grass consumed by so many people every day was not a small number, and it was an astronomical figure for Goguryeo.

Moreover, the quality of newly recruited soldiers is uneven and impatient, which will always cause conflicts and affect morale.

The speed was slow, but I still entered the predetermined location, a basin, a basin with a radius of [-] miles, surrounded by mountains and forests. When Li Ji led his soldiers not far from the edge of the basin, he immediately ordered to set up camp.

In a mountain forest, Yuan Gai Suwen looked at Li Ji's army depressedly. You must know that if the marching speed of Datang was in the past, it would happen to be in the middle of the encirclement.

But now the sun is not very bright, and it is still early before noon, and they actually set up camp. I really don't understand why they are so leisurely.But now that the arrow is on the string, it has to be fired, and it has to be ordered to ignite the wolf smoke and launch an attack.

Hundreds of thousands of troops formed a semicircle and surrounded Li Ji, intending to drive him into the middle of the encirclement. At about the same time, the hundred thousand troops who saw the wolf smoke surrounded the forward.

The rear army also faced the same problem. 20 troops appeared right in front, blocking the way.

"Set up the formation!" Li Ji clearly saw the enemy appearing in the distance through the binoculars, sneered, and immediately ordered.

The entire Chinese army of 10 people acted immediately and quickly set up a formation.

At this time, if Yuan Gai Su Wen is close, or if he has a telescope, he will understand that Datang is already prepared.

I saw the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty forming a garden formation, and the outermost circle was a circle of repelling horses, and the carriages pulling supplies were emptied, and they were connected to form another circle of defense.

The huge steel shield was moved down from the carriage, and the shield wall was formed when the two phases were buckled together. Many steel guns protruded from the middle of the shield, forming a forest of guns.

Inside the three circles of defense, there are sword and shield soldiers, coordinated with crossbowmen, 10 people, forming a garden formation, with several square formations in the middle, staring at the billowing dust and smoke in the distance.

After a stick of incense, Yuan Gai Suwen had already arrived at the front of the formation. He reined in his horse and looked at the Datang army in a daze. He could never have imagined that when he saw Datang camping, until now, after half an hour, he had already lined up and waited for him, just like in the early days. Be prepared in general.

Yuan Gai Suwen's heart sank, he was afraid that he would fall into the scheme again, so he thought, but he didn't turn back when he opened the bow, so he had to order to attack.

Goguryeo soldiers held up all kinds of strangely shaped shields and began to charge.

Although the Tang Dynasty marched slowly and brought a lot of trouble to Goguryeo, it also made them more prepared, just like shields, many shields are made of several pieces of wood.

Of course, there is also a kind of weapon, the wooden spear, which is used for throwing. Goguryeo rushed to the shield soldiers in front, rushed to a certain distance, raised his hand and threw the wooden spear in his hand, and then took one from his back and continued to throw.

"Raise the shield!" As the generals at all levels yelled, many steel shields, round shields, and iron-wood shields were raised obliquely.

"Dole! Dole! Dole!" The wooden spear was nailed to the steel shield, made a burst of sound, and then fell down. Except for some shocks to the Tang soldiers, there were no casualties. Gone through crevices, scraped.
