Chapter 442: King Qin's First Battle, Flying Fire and Thunder
On the 11th, we set off from Chang'an and rushed to Yunzhou.
Before the change, it was necessary to go over the mountains and mountains.
But in recent years, Datang's infrastructure has been done well, the roads have been overhauled, and they are extremely spacious, which is more suitable for marching.
saved Li Fangchen a lot of trouble, which also made the fighting spirit in his heart even stronger.
"Marshal, the old general of Yuwenjie has arrived."
The two armies combined, and Li Fangchen's 10,000 men became 30,000.
"The last general Yuwen Festival, meet the handsome!"
"The old general is excused, please take a seat."
"Your Highness!"
Although it was the first time to meet, the name of King Qin, Yuwen Festival was like thunder.
In the military account, he directly stated his position, so as not to cause the army to fall apart because of the struggle for power and profit.
"The last general, Yuwen Festival, let the commander send him!"
Li Fangchen said with a smile: "The old general is in a hurry, let's rest for a day, and wait until dawn tomorrow, and we will raise troops into the Turks!" ”
"Yes!"
In the middle of the Eastern Turkic Dao, he held a letter in his hand, and his face was full of sadness.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is in charge of the expedition, and he can enter the Turkic Dao tomorrow, what should we do?"
His lieutenant Ashinadur asked, "But are you worried that Your Highness will say that you are not doing well?" ”
Stubbornness shook his head and smiled bitterly, "That's not the case. ”
"Then why are you like that?"
"You don't know, why were the Turks subjugated by the Tang Dynasty?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin will go on a killing spree? To set an example? ”
"I only hope that those tribes under Bazhuo will not be wiped out by King Qin in the end!"
On the twentieth day of the expedition, the Tang army entered the Turkic road.
On the 27th, he joined forces with Zhi Zhi Sili, and Li Fangchen took command, and no one dared to oppose him.
On the 39th, he entered the Eastern Turkic Road, and the place where the Bazhuo rebels were located was only a hundred miles.
"Your Highness, the front is Malay News, and fifty miles ahead is Yizhou City!"
In the cities closest to the Eastern Turkic Road, the 100,000-strong army was stationed in Tingzhou, Xizhou, and Yizhou.
And Yizhou City, with the least defenders, is the most difficult to fight.
According to the news of the loss of Sili, there are more than 30,000 soldiers and generals in this Yizhou city, and it is not easy to fight according to the city.
"Five hundred guns?"
Especially after hearing that there were five hundred artillery pieces in Yizhou City, Li Fangchen's expression was solemn.
Counting the soldiers and horses in his hands, there are only 60,000 soldiers, and if he attacks strongly, it is not easy to survive 30,000 in the end.
"Send someone to find me a map of the surrounding terrain!"
"Yes!"
Ten miles behind Yizhou, there is a high mountain, which is high and low, but the range of artillery is insufficient.
Li Fangchen ordered people to prepare gunpowder, and then arranged for craftsmen in the army to make cloth wings.
"Dashuai, are you going to fly?"
Seeing such a strange thing, some people are curious.
Since ancient times, no one has been able to fly to the sky.
Li Fangchen replied: "It's just gliding, it's not flying." ”
Thousands of soldiers were found to practice in advance, but he couldn't do it himself, after all, he was the commander of an army, and he couldn't make any mistakes.
On the day of the test flight, thousands of people flew together, and the scene was very spectacular.
The only pity is that they can indeed rely on the ability of gliding to drop explosives, but the loss ratio is really unacceptable to Li Fangchen.
Thousands of people jumped off the cliff, but only three hundred really survived.
I was prepared early in the morning, but I was already limited by the fear in my heart, so I didn't have the courage to open the cloth wings attached to my back after picking the cliff.
And ten miles away, they landed halfway through the flight, not to mention any aerial bombardment.
Li Fangchen had no choice but to order the craftsmen to improve the craftsmanship, strengthen the durability of the cloth wings, and continue to let them practice gliding ability.
Li Tai was eager to try, and Li You was also anxious to fly, but unfortunately he was pressed by Li Fangchen, and the two of them were not allowed to do anything at all.
The abnormality was also discovered on the Bazhuo side, and the Tang army entered the Turkic Road, but it was not attacked for a long time, and I didn't know what to do.
There is a desire to transfer troops to Illinois to strengthen the defense.
But he was worried about the plans of the Tang Army, which made Bazhuo very irritable at night.
The name of King Qin, he can't help but be afraid.
Nine thousand iron horsemen broke through the royal court, sealed the Turks, and fixed the Tang Road. It can be said that it is the most admired and feared existence on the grassland.
The current tribes of the Turks respect His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty as the "Heavenly Sword".
As the name suggests, the sky raises a sword, and the lives are ruined.
Now, this man, who has terrorized the Turks for more than ten years, has come again.
Bazhuo knows in his heart that if he defeats the Turks, he can re-establish the country, and if he is defeated, there will be no Turkic tribes, only the "Turkic two ways" of the Tang Dynasty!
But he didn't expect that a few days later, Yizhou was completely lost, and the 30,000 army was broken by Li Fangchen with one blow.
An even more shocking thing happened, King Qin's order, the living pit, and the surviving rebels were exhausted.
As for why Yizhou was easily breached, we have to talk about it from a few days ago.
The flying squad continued to replenish, and in the case of successful cases, Li Fangchen easily built a flying team.
There were 2,000 people, but the number of sergeants who really participated in this matter was already 5,000.
Five thousand have cultivated two thousand, and the transformation ratio is really frightening.
It is equivalent to the fact that before the war started, Li Fangchen's side lost 3,000 soldiers and horses.
The "Air Force" took shape, flew for three days, and determined that it could control the direction of the wind, and it was not a problem to go back and forth for ten miles.
Li Fangchen asked each of them to bring ten catties of gunpowder, and after falling from a high altitude, the gunpowder canister shattered, and the white phosphorus mixed in it first reacted with oxygen and ignited the gunpowder in the can.
The sound of explosion sounded, and the fragments of the clay pot flew everywhere, and the lethality was extremely terrifying.
It's ridiculous to say that the artillery arranged by this scorching arrangement is all arranged near the city gate, just so that Li Fangchen can pick up the cheap.
The Flying Fire and Thunder Squad launched the first wave of attacks.
All of them were blown up near the city gates, although the power of the improvised fire and thunder could not destroy the artillery.
But there were still artillery ammunition prepared in advance next to the artillery, all of which were ignited, and after the serial explosions, there were basically no living people on the city gate.
This almost "celestial" way of fighting made the defenders of Yizhou City completely fall into a panic, and then when Li Fangchen's army arrived, they easily took down the four city gates.
The prestige of the Heavenly Sword made those defenders dare not resist more.
According to Shangguan Yi's report, in this battle, 10,000 enemies were killed and 20,000 were captured.
The Turkic people in the city are all under martial law, and those who leave the city innocently will not be killed.
The capture of 20,000 people means that Li Fangchen needs to divide at least 5,000 people to guard it, and the position of the Turkic people in Yizhou City is unknown.
Li Fangchen directly ordered to prepare a living pit, and no rebels were left.
As for spreading the word, what is the reputation?
Li Fangchen didn't care, he needed to use the shortest time to solve the war in the Turkic Dao.
The lack of 30,000 people in the first war made my heart cold.
Especially when Li Fangchen's move to bury people alive came out, he almost made his subordinates mutiny.
is a good King of Qin, it is not an exaggeration to kill people!
The strategy of dividing troops and defending them is somewhat inappropriate.
Bazhuo regrouped his troops in one place, totaling more than 70,000 people.
On Li Fangchen's side, more than 3,000 people were lost because of the formation of the Air Force, and now there are less than 60,000.
