Just as Luo Tong guessed, Li Chengqian came to Shuofang and had a secret mission, that is, to go into battle to kill the enemy.

This is the task given to Li Chengqian by Li Shimin, as his son of Li Shimin and the prince of a dignified country, he does not understand military affairs, and he does not really go to the battlefield to be like. Of course, Li Chengqian himself is also willing.

For this reason, Li Chengqian also prepared a set of extremely sassy golden bright light armor, but before he could show it for three minutes, he was forcibly pulled off by Luo Tong and threw him a set of captain-level mountain armor!

Aren't you a living target for the Turks, dressed in gold? You are not afraid of death, Lao Tzu is still afraid of the two Taishan adults who will settle accounts after the autumn!

All right! You are the boss, and your reasons are also sufficient, and General Qu also said that it is good, and I, Li Chengqian, admit it.

"That's not right! Governor, didn't you say that mavericks are easy to attract bees and butterflies, how can you dress yourself in silver? When Luo Tong was served by his sister, and the uncle put on the handsome bright silver bright light armor, Li Chengqian shouted unevenly: "You're not afraid that I will steal your limelight!" Give me back my golden armor. ”

"The bright swords and guns on the battlefield are not terrible, what is terrible is the cold arrow, you don't have my martial arts, and you are the battlefield fledgling, isn't wearing golden armor to recruit cold arrows? You either prepare a celebration banquet at the Governor's Palace, or you will obediently become your captain. General Qu, this guy is handed over to you. ”

"Whoa!" Qu Changsun responded solemnly, he is a veteran of the battlefield, and he agrees with Luo Tong's statement very much.

On the way to Shuofang, when Li Chengqian excitedly showed off his golden armor, Qu Changsun's face turned green at that time. Li Chengqian showed off his golden armor just now, and his old man's urine almost flowed out.

Fortunately, Luo Tong pulled it out, and he was relieved. How could he be stupid enough to help Li Chengqian, a rookie, now!

When I came to the Shuobei military camp, after the three drums sounded, in less than a moment, the 60,000 army was neatly armored and lined up in a neat formation, quietly looking at the young commander on the school platform.

Luo Tong glanced around, and the dense soldiers were like ants gathering, this was his soldier...... Exactly 60,000.

Looking at these majestic soldiers, Luo Tong, who commanded such a large army for the first time, inevitably had great ambition in his chest, and shouted: "A hundred miles away from the Shuobei grassland, there are still three Turkic tribes who will not leave...... Don't talk nonsense, get rich and go ......"

There is nothing long-winded, and a simple sentence is exactly the embodiment of Luo Tong's straightforward style.

The 60,000 soldiers were stunned one after another, and then laughed and shouted.

"Get rich and go to ......"

The army was mighty and embarked on the road of conquest.

Luo Tong smiled with satisfaction, this declaration of expedition had come with the interest of the commander, but most commanders would take this matter very seriously, pay attention to what is justified, declare their righteous king's division, and say a big reason for the crusade to stimulate the morale of the three armies.

But can a long and difficult declaration of the expedition really boost morale and make it understandable to all the soldiers?

Not necessarily!

If it is Liu Bang and Hitler, who are good at speeches, they will naturally be able to boost the morale of the three armed forces. The average person says a big chase. It will only make the soldiers feel bad and bored.

Luo Tong asked himself that he would not say anything long, and his eloquence was not as good as that of Liu Bang and Hitler, so he simply shortened the declaration of the expedition to one sentence.

A simple sentence that gets to the point.

Luo Tong had a good grasp of the speed of the march, and by dusk, their group had already walked fifty miles away.

Extremely excited, Li Chengqian didn't notice that it was boring, and Qu Changsun showed a sense of approval and amazement.

This is the battle of leading the troops, and the speed of the march is extremely crucial.

If you blindly seek speed, not to mention losing morale if you fall behind, the soldiers will not have the strength to fight when they arrive at the designated place. blindly cared about the fatigue of the soldiers, and when they arrived at the front line, the daylilies were cold.

An excellent general must have an all-round understanding of military affairs, and how to rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible while preserving the soldier's ability to fight is a very deep knowledge. At this moment, Luo Tong was extremely accurate in the speed of the march, not only gave the soldiers enough time to rest, but also arrived at the destination on time.

This is not something that can be done easily.

There was still plenty of time, and Luo Tong gave the order to rest and convened the generals to discuss the matter.

"These three tribes think they are Turkish, and we have been paralyzed for a long time. And this time we poured out of the city, the troops were very sufficient, there was no need to fight them one by one. Therefore, I decided to divide the army into three ways and do its own thing. Huaiyu and Yiai led 10,000 Mo sword troops and 10,000 cavalry to attack the Golund tribe; Chu Liang and Ye Hei led the same forces to attack the Zhuomu tribe. I'll settle the Utu tribe. Tell your brothers a moment before the attack that each of the first teams to return to Shuofang will be rewarded with an extra sheep...... In order to encourage the soldiers to win. ”

"Whoa!" The four generals were accustomed to Luo Tong's unexpected style of acting and acted on orders.

"How to fight, I don't interfere. But after all, this is your first time fighting independently, and I would like to mention some operational theories that may inspire you. ”

Yao Chi, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang, Li Yesi, Fang Yiai, Li Chengqian, and Qu Changsun all listened to the courtesy.

"That's what I'm going to say about the word 'war'. What is war? I can't tell. ”

Everyone was a little speechless, and they couldn't imagine that Luo Tong would come to such a conclusion.

"But I think that war has two basic requirements: first, to try to destroy the enemy; The second is to avoid excessive casualties. Killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 yourself, this kind of crushing victory cannot be considered a victory. I believe that being an excellent commander is not about how sympathetic he is for his subordinates, nor what kind of future he can seek for his subordinates, and a commander who can manage to make a few fewer soldiers die on the battlefield is a humane and excellent commander. ”

Li Chengqian can only be regarded as a bystander, and others have a deeper understanding of these words, war is cruel, before the 10,000 foot soldiers, the only one who can walk back from the battlefield may be 3,000, or even 2,000, and the rest may be buried in the yellow sand, may be thrown into the wilderness, as the commander of the army, it is the real general to bring the compatriots out and bring them back.

"Every time we fight, I do my best to scheming, and the fundamental purpose is to achieve the greatest at the lowest cost. Just remember that and get ready to go. To be fair, let's go in an hour! ”

……

Luo Tong is extremely strict with his riding skills, and even if he is a foot soldier, he must have a riding level and be able to adapt to life on horseback for a long time. For this reason, every five days, Luo Tong would set aside a day to practice the riding skills of foot soldiers, so that they could adapt to future wars.

This series of hardships was not in vain, even if the Modao Army was mainly engaged in foot combat, their marching speed was still extremely fast!

When he was still five miles away from the Utu tribe, Luo Tong issued a military order.

Luo Yuan led 5,000 cavalry to attack the left flank. Luo Can led a small formation of 5,000 Mo Dao cavalry to attack the right flank, and Yao Chi led a small formation of 5,000 Mo Dao to attack from the front with me. "The arrow-shaped tactic is a tactic used by Luo Tong, and it is used to carry out sneak attacks.

"What about us, Governor?" Seeing that there was no task of his own, Qu Changsun couldn't sit still, he came here with him and wanted to have a good time, if he didn't fight, the Xuanjia Army would be rusty.

Luo Tong laughed and said, "Naturally, General Qu beat him." I'll leave 5,000 cavalry for the general as a follow-up, and I'll see where you need support. ”

Qu Changsun was overjoyed and said: "Thank you for the good intentions of the governor, the last general has already had itchy hands, and I will invite you to drink when I go back to Beijing." ”

"Okay, we're done. Everything must be done with the safety of His Highness first. ”

"The end will know."

The earth retreated swiftly under the horse's hooves.

Only the remaining mile is fleeting.

The Utu tribe also panicked in a short period of time and formed a cavalry (no team), swarming to intercept it.

A dense rain of arrows hit silently from the front. The five or six soldiers next to him were hit by more than three arrows in an instant, rolled and fell off their horses.

It was not the first time that Luo Yuan and Luo Can had fought against the Turks, they had long been accustomed to their bows and arrows, shouting loudly, and the weapons in their hands were impermeable, the sound of subtle collisions was endless, and the arrows fell one after another.

"Kill!"

Fifteen thousand cavalry of the Tang Army saw that the enemy had already met the attack, shouted and accelerated their charge, and increased their speed again the moment they approached the Turkic soldiers.

Luo Yuan urged his horse to rush towards the enemy, wielding a spear in his right hand. Luo Can danced the big knife, and the two rushed to the front, scrambling to advance forward.

Heroes emerge from troubled times!

In this troubled world. There is no one who can return from a hundred battles.

Although Luo Yuan and Luo Can are Luo Tong's generals, their martial arts are quite exquisite, especially after learning the Mowu Heart Sutra, their courage has doubled.

Luo Yuan was fierce and brave, the gun was like a dragon, and the shadow of the gun in the sky was incomparable, breaking into the crowd, and the blockers were invincible, killing the left and right Turkic soldiers to roll forward and backward. Luo Yuan's martial arts are already good. He has also received the guidance of Luo Shixin, the second fierce general of the Tang Dynasty, and his martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years, and he also has a certain style of fierce generals.

Luo Can's performance was also no different. The big sword in his hand was magnificent, only flashing and slashing, and the two enemy horsemen who rushed to the front fell in response, so they were not mighty.

Attacking Turkic soldiers. It is a soldier and horse that was organized on a temporary basis. did not make sufficient preparations, in front of him, Xue Wanjun plus more than 10,000 Tang troops, fiercely rushed to kill, only a moment of effort, killed this Turkic army, followed the road they rushed out, broke into the Turkic camp.

When the Tang army broke into the Turkic camp here, the leader of the Utu tribe, Utuman, asked his son to wake up.

"Father Khan. The Tang army has already entered the tribe. ”

Utuman ate and drank so much last night that he couldn't wake up.

Someone had already reported to him, and he was always kept awake.

Utuman's eldest son is an adult, and he makes arrangements to meet the enemy without authorization.

The remaining sons of Utuman also began to organize the warriors of the tribe to fight, leaving only the ten-year-old son to continue to shout.

Hearing the cry of the young son, Utuman seemed to pour cold water on his head, and suddenly he came to his senses, and the shrill sound of weapons and soldiers' shouts and screams were noisily intertwined.

"How is it possible, didn't the king of the Turki Khan say that he was an ally with the Tang Dynasty? Didn't you say that Datang didn't want Shuobei grassland? ”

He said hatefully: "Quick, come on!" ”

Where did Utuman still care that he was only wearing an undergarment at the moment, and even the crying beloved son couldn't care about comforting, so he rushed out of the tent directly, and shouted: "Quick, take my armor ......" While making a decision, the other side shouted to boost morale, "Our Turks are the descendants of the wolf god, and now our clan has been attacked by the Tang army, all the warriors take out your weapons and repel the attacking Tang army." ”

With a roar, Utuman put on his armor with the help of the servants and rushed to the south where the battle was fierce.
