Chapter 444: The Strongest?

"General! The enemy is less than twenty miles away from us! The other side is cutting down trees to build siege engines! ”

"Report! General, the enemy didn't know where to find some civilians, and they actually let these civilians hold swords! Come and be a pioneer for them! ”

In the big tent, in addition to the three of Hou Junji, there are many generals, and everyone's eyes are a little unsightly at this time, especially Cheng Yanjin, whose black face is even darker! Qin Qiong's expression was a little strange and a little puzzled. As for Hou Junji, he was the weirdest of the three, not only did he not have a sad and angry expression at this time, but he had a smile on his face.

What annoyed Cheng Yanjin the most was Hou Junji's smile, and he slapped the table and roared: "You can still laugh!" Your Majesty ordered you to quell the chaos within two months, and now there are a few days left? Not only did you not win, but you folded so many soldiers, how to explain when you return to Chang'an? ”

When Hou Junji heard this, the smile on his face stopped, turned his head to look at Cheng Yanjin and said, "Is it difficult to cry if you don't laugh now?" Could it be that I can change the tide of battle by crying? By tomorrow, the 110,000-strong army will arrive! When the time comes, they will naturally be able to exterminate each other! What are you panicking about? ”

"What am I panicking about? What am I panicking about! Which eye did you see Lao Tzu panicking? Besides! Even if the reinforcement arrives tomorrow, we will only have 200,000 men! The other party is 240,000 people! Among them, there are more than 30,000 cavalry! Do you see their equipment? Even if it is compared to the Ghost King Army, it is not bad at all! ”

Hou Junji smiled when he heard this, and Cheng Yanjin was even more angry when he saw this, but before Cheng Yanjin broke out, he heard Hou Junji ask: "Zhijie, you say that I am the Tang Dynasty, which army can be called the strongest army?" ”

This sentence made Cheng Yanjin stunned, the first strong army? He really didn't think about this, Hou Junji's eyes fell on Qin Qiong's body again, Qin Qiong groaned slightly and said: "Now, it should be the ghost king army as the most!" The Ghost King Army, regardless of the soldiers, equipment, and horses, can be called the best in Datang! In addition, the conditions and benefits promised to the soldiers by Wushuang before! Once the Ghost King Army charges, it is not afraid of death! It can be called the first in Datang! ”

After hearing this, Hou Junji shook his head lightly and said, "The Ghost King Army is strong, but it is definitely not the strongest!" Cheng Yanjin also echoed: "That's right, the Ghost King's army is strong, and it is definitely not the strongest, according to me, the strongest should be His Majesty's personal guard battalion!" That is the peak force of Datang, every soldier is a hero who has practiced martial arts since childhood! Captains and so on are masters with internal strength! ”

Qin Qiong shook his head when he heard this: "No, those personal guard battalions are only suitable for palace wall battles, and although they will be more powerful than ordinary infantry on the battlefield, there is absolutely no cavalry that has lethality!" ”

Cheng Yanjin looked at Hou Junji, and saw that Hou Junji also shook his head and said: "That's right, they can be called the strongest within the palace walls, but after they go to the battlefield, they can't even catch up with ordinary cavalry!" You know, as long as the cavalry forms a certain size, it is the meat grinder of the battlefield! ”

Cheng Yanjin lost patience and complained: "Then which one do you say?" The Ghost King Army is not good, and His Majesty's personal guards are not good! I want to hear it, which one can be called the first in Datang! ”

Seeing that Cheng Biting Jin was still a little unconvinced, Hou Junji smiled, and then said softly: "You don't have to worry, wait until tomorrow, you will know what kind of army is the strongest army in the Tang Dynasty!" Cheng Yanjin snorted coldly, thinking that Hou Junji was saying that when the thieves were defeated tomorrow, they would be called the first strong army in the Tang Dynasty!

Cheng Yanjin was a little disdainful of this, feeling that this was really the most unbearable means to inspire the army.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, the figure of the army appeared outside the city, unfortunately, it was not reinforcements, but the army of anti-thieves! It's time to attack!

Hou Junji and Cheng Yanjin both appeared on the city wall, while Qin Qiong was on the other side. The other party came in the direction of the city with great momentum, Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "This group of rabbit cubs was really well chosen!" It is the time when we are in a state of flux, and even if reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult to form combat effectiveness! ”

Hou Junji nodded, and then said: "The reinforcements will arrive around noon, no matter what, we have to carry this morning!" ”

Cheng Yanjin didn't want to say any nonsense, relatively speaking, it was easier to defend the city than to attack the city, and the Zhenhai artillery had already moved to the city. Far away, Cheng Yanjin had already seen the other party's trebuchet and siege tower!

Cheng Yanjin estimated that he felt some distance and instructed his subordinates: "Go and give orders!" Let the Zhenhai artillery be ready, and look at my order later, and give priority to attacking trebuchets! And then there's the siege tower, understand? The guard agreed, and trotted to deliver the order.

Hou Junji held a clairvoyant mirror in his hand and carefully stared at the other party's movements, and after seeing the opponent's lineup, Hou Junji couldn't help but sigh: "They are all good children, they are all good children!" It's a pity, but they are all anti-thieves, and when they fight, I don't know how many people will die! ”

Cheng Yanjin really couldn't figure it out when he heard Hou Junji's words, now it's obviously his own side that is weak, how did it get into Hou Junji's mouth, as if he had already won? Cheng Yanjin's curiosity was very heavy, and he couldn't help asking: "You have been looking like you have won since yesterday, is it possible that you are not pretending to be a soldier?" ”

Hou Junji looked back at him when he heard this, then looked left and right, and after seeing that there were no outsiders, Hou Junji said: "Of course there is a certainty of victory!" ”

Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but be interested when he heard this answer, and opened his mouth to ask, "Where did you get your confidence?" Hou Junji said with a smile: "Zhijie, why do you think we lost in the previous battle?" ”

Cheng Yanjin said without thinking: "I misassessed the enemy's military strength, I didn't expect that the other party actually had 30,000 cavalry!" ”

Hou Junji shook his head when he heard this: "That's just one way, I can tell you this, even if the other party doesn't have 30,000 cavalry at that time, the final result of the Dao is that we lose!" ”

At this moment, Cheng Yanjin was completely confused, Cheng Yanjin knocked on his helmet and said, "Why? Hou Junji looked in the direction of Chang'an, stretched out his hand and clenched his fists and said, "Because all this is Your Majesty's plan!" ”

"What !!"

Cheng Yanjin exclaimed that he was born, Hou Junji glared at him, Cheng Yanjin hurriedly covered his mouth, but the surprised expression on his face couldn't be concealed no matter what.

Seeing this, Hou Junji smiled and said: "Now that the decisive battle is about to take place, I won't hide it from you, in fact, all this is planned by His Majesty, in order to lure out the hidden forces of the family and then wipe them out!" Let them no longer pose a threat to my Datang, and then my Datang will completely uproot the family! ”

Cheng Yanjin was almost speechless in surprise, and Hou Junji couldn't help but say when he saw this: "Otherwise, do you think the other party will win so easily?" I know what you think of me these days, it doesn't matter, it's all in His Majesty's plan, I'm just an executor! Know! If you think about it carefully, is my Hou Junji really so unbearable? Where can you let the other party's motley army run? ”

Cheng Yanjin didn't speak this time, he really thought so!

Then Cheng Yanjin couldn't help asking: "But, but the family has fallen, what good will it do you?" "Hou Junji understands Cheng Biting Jin's consciousness, after all, Hou Junji has now defected to King Wei, and the main strength of King Wei is the support of the family behind him!

If the power of the family is pulled out, it will undoubtedly cut off the arms of King Wei, so to speak, it will not do him any good at all! Even when he was defeated before, Cheng Yanjin thought about whether this would be a deliberate defeat by Hou Junji in order to protect the power of King Wei.

Later, Cheng Yanjin thought clearly, this kind of thing would almost never happen, not to mention anything else, because if the family really won the world, and the throne would not even be surnamed Li at that time, what was the use of him preserving the strength of King Wei?

Hou Junji smiled bitterly when he heard this: "All my life, I have been fighting for Datang!" Now that someone is rebelling, I naturally can't live up to Datang because of myself! ”

The words sounded good, but Cheng Yanjin felt that there must be something in this that he didn't know.

After thinking about it, Cheng Yanjin frowned and said, "But, where did you get your confidence?" Even if our reinforcements arrive, the total will only be 200,000 troops! The other party has 40,000 more of us! ”

Hou Junji said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you last night, today, I will let you see the power of the first strong army of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Cheng Yanjin suddenly reacted, it turned out that the strong army he said before was not an excuse to comfort the army, but there really was such an army!

While the two were talking, the other party pushed forward a lot, and Cheng Yanjin saw that he had almost reached the range, raised his hand and roared: "Zhenhai cannon!" Launch! ”

"Boom! Bang! Bang! ”

A cannon rang out! Cannonballs flew out with deadly tails of light, accompanied by bursts of screams and wails!

War! Here we go!

……

The enrollment of Xueer College has been completed, and the whole college has been a lot more lively, after all, the number of students has directly doubled! This time, in addition to recruitment, we also recruited a lot of gentlemen, in addition to the four major colleges! There are also several sub-departments, cooks, doctors, hunters, etc., and all students are required to learn at least one sub-department in addition to the four major departments!

This directly affects their credits, and how important credits are to these students, as mentioned earlier, we won't talk about it here.

Su Bai also took Li Mingda back to Juxian County, and now Wang Mingzhu has become best friends with Li Mingda, and in just a few days, the cowardly princess of Jinyang has already had the precursor of becoming a little crazy girl!

may be the reason why I have been suppressed in the palace for too long, and after playing with Wang Mingzhu for a few days, I am completely crazy! Two days ago, Lu Yuan made a super large kite for the two of them, and now the two little girls are playing kites in the academy when they are fine, which is called a lot of fun.

Everyone in the academy knows that these two little girls are the top of the heart, and they are usually pampered, and they are completely treated as little princesses in the academy! Hungry, it seems that there is really a peculiar princess.

After Su Bai returned to Juxian County, he took out a drawing and handed it to the teachers of Suzaku Academy! This drawing is a simple way to build a steam engine!

Don't think that the steam engine is too backward and useless! It was at the heart of the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century! Until the twentieth century, it was the main source of power.

With a steam engine, with the addition of two pistons, Su Bai can make a steam train! Steam looms, etc., there will be a earth-shaking change in Datang at that time!

Of course, Su Bai was not in a hurry to do all this, he handed them the drawings and let them study them, and when they studied them, it would take a year, after all, even the closed sealing process was enough for them to study for a while.

When the people of Suzaku Academy first got the drawings, they didn't understand what it was, but after hearing Su Bai's explanation, they were shocked! On the same day, all the students of Suzaku Academy were called back, and the drawings given to them by Su Bai were not so much drawings as concepts!

There are only some simple licensing methods above, and what can be made according to the above licensing methods can only be a toy!

I'll leave the rest to the gentlemen and students of Suzaku-in!

A few days ago, the crown prince sent a letter, saying that His Majesty had told Li Chengqian with great certainty that he would be the future successor of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Chengqian's joy could be seen in the letter.

Su Bai didn't write a reply to Li Chengqian, but just asked Bai Yulou to bring a message back, and he knew.

Now that Su Bai's ban has existed in name only, the four great families have not complained, because the focus is no longer here, the focus is who can win the war in Hedong Province! If it is Datang who wins, they will come back immediately and strongly ask Li Shimin to let Su Bai ground! If the family succeeds, hehe, it will be much simpler, and people will come over directly to destroy Su Bai!

Su Bai is now soaking in the library all day long, writing out the books in the imperial study that he remembered in his mind, Li Shimin naturally would not let the people from the academy go to the imperial study to copy, Su Bai could only write them out slowly one by one, which was a big project.

With the silent writing all day long, Su Bai's calligraphy has been practiced! There are even many students who specifically find the books written by Su Bai and borrow them to copy.

The voice of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce still did not improve, and Wang Fugui had lost more than a dozen pounds in the past two days, and Wang Erniu also followed the anxious group.

Moreover, the four great families began to deliberately target the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and fought with the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in many places!

Although the strength of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is very strong, but the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and many times, it is inevitable to suffer losses on other people's turf, which makes the voice of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce even more difficult.

On the contrary, the expansion of the White Jade Building is very fast! And it has recruited a lot of masters!

The conditions for joining Baiyulou are still very harsh, but in this troubled world, joining Baiyulou is nothing more than a guarantee!

At night, Su Bai came to the underground base of the library...... Take a look at the latest chapter of the "Datang Prestige System Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
