Chapter 174: The Last Madness
Chapter 174: The Last Madness
Trains are not like tanks, as long as they are flat and open terrain and huge tank armor is assembled, they can implement a strategy of great depth and quickly complete the victory of the battle in order to achieve their goals as soon as possible.
Chen Ying patiently explained in detail to Li Jiancheng and other monarchs and ministers the advantages and disadvantages of the train, and the victory model of the Battle of Jianmen Pass can never be replicated, first of all, a narrow valley of more than 60 miles, densely packed with more than 400,000 coalition troops, and secondly, the soldiers of the coalition army, which are even more barbaric and uncivilized.
As long as it is a soldier with a little command experience, it is not difficult to find that the train is actually a paper tiger, as long as it is within forty meters of the track, the train will not cause any damage to them, of course, if the track can be destroyed in time, at that time, it will be Datang who suffers.
After all, digging railways and dismantling railroad tracks is much easier to build.
It was only at this time that Li Jiancheng sighed again and again: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" ”
"Actually, there's nothing to be sorry for!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "We used two trains, less than 5,000 soldiers and horses, and wiped out 400,000 barbarian soldiers under Li Shimin, at least we won very valuable time." ”
Just when Pang Yu and Xunxiang were playing for Hou Mo Chen Xu at Jianmen Pass, the private soldiers under the gates of the various clans of the Tang Dynasty, private individuals and armed personnel of the landlord's courtyard were all driven into the barracks.
The person responsible for training these private soldiers is none other than the secretary of the Ministry of Defense of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing and Li Xiangguo, the governor of the political affairs.
In history, Li Jing is the real god of war in the Tang Dynasty, and he is the real god of war. Of course, Li Jing is not in vain, Li Jing naturally has his own methods for training troops, and although he is not like Chen Ying, who specially adopts the method of teaching the team to quickly build up combat effectiveness by bringing the old and the new, he also has the means to keep these private soldiers in a submissive and appropriate manner.
Of course, the clan gate lords were definitely not happy when they were forced to hand over the private soldiers in their hands, and these private soldiers who usually enjoyed extremely high treatment all said that in the future, in the military camp, they would also give those generals a look at the color, so that they would know how many eyes the prince had grown.
When they entered the barracks, they were all crying. Although the person in charge of the training of these private soldiers was nominally Li Jing, the person who actually carried out it was Chen Ying's personal guard, the 1,500 personal guards of Zhichong Mansion.
To be Chen Ying's personal guard, of course, it is not an idle person, at least he must have studied in the martial arts hall or the teaching team, because Chen Ying likes to directly appoint his more familiar personal guard as a general. This also means that none of these temporary guest instructors are fuel-efficient lamps, and they have a lot of experience with how to repair recruits.
Every day, he runs 60 trails in full gear and charges against the rain of arrows. Although these arrows have been removed, these arrows are all purple spots on the body, and they hurt terribly.
Jumping over obstacles, duck steps, standing queues, surprise checks...... On the first day, these poor recruits were foaming at the mouth and their eyes were straight!
Hundreds of deserters appeared that night, and these deserters sneaked out of the barracks in the dead of night.
Soon, the instructors told them with facts that you can't even hide. One by one, the deserters dragged back the dog that stood up and was as tall as an adult.
Then, where did they come from, but they became subordinate in the records of their household registration, which is much more serious than not being able to find a job and finding a unit in later generations. This means that their descendants cannot participate in the imperial examinations, become officials, or even change their fate through the army.
Shinong Industry and Commerce. Although the peasants were poor, their political status in ancient times was not low. Merchants and farmers have disputes over the government, and the merchants are first hit by the thirty boards, but as the so-called merchants are superior, rich and powerful businessmen will donate a civil lord to themselves and get out of the category of businessmen. Otherwise, how did you really think the outside world came from?
Outside, in fact, is the meaning of outsider, but from the five officials.
It's okay if you want to be a deserter, but you have to be mentally prepared to pay for it for the rest of your life, and if you're not even afraid of that, there's nothing to say.
After the news came out, the entire Datang was in mourning.
Under Li Jing's training, the more than 250,000 new troops, mainly the private soldiers of the clan lords, will become an absolutely elite force in the Tang Dynasty in the near future.
However, will Li Shimin give them this time?
The answer is yes.
Definitely not.
Jinling City, as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, especially during the Sui Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, and Jinling did not go through large-scale wars, so this city is relatively intact.
In the old palace of the original Chen Dynasty, Li Shimin ascended to the palace to discuss matters.
The sixteen generals of the Fusang Dynasty, hundreds of generals, and representatives of the clans and lords of various clans in the south of the Yangtze River who surrendered to Li Shimin, and hundreds of civil and military ministers looked humble and stern one by one, waiting for Li Shimin's will.
The terrifyingly large army of Fusang Datang has been prepared, except for Cheng Zhijie and the captured Hou Mo Chen Xu, the other fourteen generals can't wait to wash the entire Tang Dynasty bloodied and complete the important task of unifying the world.
The Jaguar, who had just been promoted to general, looked somewhat melancholy, this Armageddon had always been what he had been looking forward to, and he had been waiting for six years.
However, when Armageddon came, he was disqualified from the battle!
Yes, his fleet had suffered too heavy losses in the Battle of Jiangzhou, and it had already been wounded, at least for a short time, and it was not qualified to participate in this ultimate decisive battle. He looked at the generals under his command, and the generals who had been following him were also looking at him, their eyes met, and each other looked bitter.
The gate of the palace slowly opened, and all the generals fell to the ground one after another.
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui came out together, walked in front of the ministers of civil and military affairs, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, Aiqing! ”
The ministers of civil and military affairs touched their foreheads to the ground and said humbly: "We, your most loyal servants, are waiting for your will!" ”
Datang kneels at every turn, but Li Shimin is different in Fusang Datang, in order to unify Fusang, he relies on breaking their bones and interrupting their last dignity, and they must surrender.
Li Shimin continued: "General Tlaloc, you lead the men and horses of your headquarters to capture Qiaozhou (Yongjin Bozhou) along Shouchun and through Shansang. Be sure to wipe out the Tang army in one fell swoop in the shortest possible time and cut off their connection between Shandong and Guanzhong! ”
The general of Tlalocle, whose skin was smeared with oily green paint, and whose blood vessels were like roots coiled in his muscles, bowed down respectfully and said, "Yes, my majesty! ”
Li Shimin then looked at a general who was covered with a thick black deck and looked like a beetle and said, "General Che Nan, you are responsible for attacking Yecheng, conquering Ye, and I will allow you to restore the Shang Kingdom!" ”
"Kukulkan, you are responsible for attacking and leading the naval division, going north along the Han River and approaching Hanzhong."
"Xi Zhen, you are responsible for contacting the Jianghuai and Xiangfan clan lords, using all means to force them to join our army, and if they refuse, destroy them!"
"Koyatl, you cooperate with General Force to continue to strengthen the attack on Bashu, be sure to recapture Chengdu, isolate the wingmen, and if they don't surrender, I will let them disappear!"
The orders came neatly and without ambiguity, which is exactly Li Shimin's style.
He pointed out a direction, everyone did their best to do it, no matter what method was used, as long as they could do things for him beautifully, he would not interfere.
The generals of the Fusang Datang who received the order were full of pride and loudly promised.
Every time an order was issued, the noose around the neck of the Tang Dynasty court tightened a few points.
At this time, there was only one thought left in Li Shimin's mind, to take what he had lost. In Li Shimin's eyes, this world has always belonged to him. Li Jiancheng is a despicable thief, and Chen Ying, it is this-stirring stick that makes the situation so bad.
In the future, he will capture Chen Ying, for the sake of the third sister's face, and give him a small island in the Fusang Continent, so that he can fend for himself.
