Qin Tian returned to Liaocheng again with his soldiers and horses.

By this time, he had raised enough ships.

At the same time, Cao Binbin, the assassin of Liaocheng, had also borrowed a lot of small boats from the common people, and these small boats could seat three or four people, but he borrowed a lot, there were thousands of boats.

These small boats can carry about three or four thousand people at a time.

And the ships that Qin Tian got here could almost send more than 10,000 people at a time.

Together, the ships raised by the two men could escort 20,000 people.

Escorting 20,000 people at a time, the Tang army had 100,000 soldiers and horses, so if you want to cross the Liaoshui River completely, you will have to make at least six or seven trips.

However, as long as they were able to repel the enemy on the other side of the Liaoshui, the next thing would naturally be much easier.

The day after the two of them raised grain and grass, Li Shimin rushed to Liaocheng with a large army, and after Qin Tian and Cao Binbin got the news, they hurriedly ran to greet them.

The weather was hot, and the soldiers couldn't stand it.

Even Li Shimin was a little prostration.

"Holy Lord, you can be regarded as here." Qin Tian stepped forward to say hello, and Li Shimin nodded: "I'm already in a hurry, I didn't expect it to be so hot this day, by the way, how did the boat you raised go?" ”

"Shengshang, Weichen and Lord Cao have worked together to raise almost two thousand ships, which can send 20,000 people over at a time, and there are dozens of big ships that can be used to put trebuchets and Tang Dynasty crossbows, and we have a way to cross the Liaoshui."

As long as there is a ship that can put trebuchets and Tang Divine Crossbows, then they can suppress the enemy, suppress the enemy, and it will naturally be much easier for them to cross the Liaoshui.

After hearing Qin Tian's narration, Li Shimin's heart suddenly rejoiced.

"Okay, Qin Aiqing has good means, and Cao Aiqing has raised so many boats, so there will be no problem for us to cross the river."

So saying, they went into the city.

"Holy Lord, when do you think it is appropriate to cross the river?"

After returning to the city, Qin Tian asked, now that many things have been prepared, if they can cross the river as soon as possible, it is better to cross the river quickly, after all, some of their boats are to give money, one day a day, and if they don't give it, it will also affect the business of the Shen family's boat gang, so it is safer to cross the river as soon as possible.

Li Shimin's side was not in a hurry, thought about it, and said: "The soldiers are in a hurry, it's too hard, let the soldiers have a good rest, and after the news from the Liaoshui side comes, we will cross the river." ”

If the Tang army wants to cross the river, it must also understand the specific arrangements of Silla on the Liaoshui side.

Hearing this, Qin Tian hesitated, he felt that it was a good thing for Li Shimin to be cautious, but he still said: "Holy Lord, it's better to rest for a day tomorrow and cross the river the day after tomorrow." ”

"Is it so urgent?"

"On the Liaoshui side, the Silla Kingdom has already sent people to guard the town, but it will definitely not be too much, we have to strike as soon as possible and catch them off guard."

Li Shimin thought about it, although he was a little reluctant, but he still nodded: "So, then let's say so, let the soldiers rest and cross the river the day after tomorrow." ”

After talking to Li Shimin like this, Qin Tian and Li Ji discussed the specific situation of crossing the river again, and it was not until very late that they finally ended.

The officers and men in the army took the opportunity to rest and waited for the day after tomorrow.

----------------------

Just when Li Shimin came to Liaocheng, on the Liaoshui side, the guard general Pu 13 sent by the Silla State was already waiting.

Park 13 is Tian Yigen's right-hand man, and his strength is extraordinary.

This time, he brought a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses to garrison in Liaoshui, and among the 50,000 soldiers and horses, 30,000 soldiers and horses were archers, because Pu Shisan knew very well that if he wanted to suppress the Tang army to cross the river, using sharp arrows was the best means.

When the time comes, as long as the Tang army crosses the river, they can strafe with sharp arrows, and with 30,000 archers, they can shoot almost all the Tang troops who cross the river into a sieve.

However, although he was very confident in his own strength, a few days ago, Park 13 still sent people to keep an eye on the movements of the Tang army, and at this time, the people he sent finally returned.

"General, Li Shimin, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, rushed to Liaocheng with soldiers and horses."

Hearing that Li Shimin had arrived, Pu Shisan didn't feel any pressure, he nodded: "In this way, the Tang army will cross the river soon." ”

Speaking of this, Pu Shisan paused for a moment, and then asked, "Has there been an investigation into how the Tang army is going to cross the river?" ”

"They borrowed 2,000 boats to cross the river."

Two thousand ships is not too much, but it is not too little, after hearing this, Pu Shisan's eyes narrowed slightly, but after he calculated how many people two thousand ships could escort, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In his opinion, there are more than 10,000 people in 2,000 ships, and they have 10,000 archers, so it should not be difficult to block the attack of the Tang army, and even if there are really people in the Tang army who can cross the Liaoshui, they still have 20,000 infantry waiting for the Tang army, and after round after round of archers, how many more can the Tang army cross the Liaoshui?

He naturally didn't think that they would be able to defeat the Tang army in Liaoshui, but there was no problem in greatly weakening the strength of the Tang army and providing more advantages for the next battle.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Pu Shisan's mouth, and he said, "Okay, General Ben already knows, tell the soldiers to prepare for battle, a big battle will come soon." ”

"Whoa!"

Before the big war, on the side of the Tang army, the spies had hurried back to the barracks.

In the big tent, Li Shimin and Qin Tian were there.

"Holy Lord, the situation on the Silla side has been investigated, and they have sent 50,000 soldiers and horses to block us from crossing the river on the other side."

Hearing that the Silla Kingdom only used 50,000 soldiers and horses, Qin Tian and the others all showed a chuckle, this number is definitely not much, and it is basically impossible to stop them from crossing the river.

"However, of their 50,000 men and horses, 30,000 were archers."

"Thirty thousand archers?" Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Holy Lord, there are a lot of 30,000 archers, if we force us to cross the river, I'm afraid that the casualties will be very heavy." Li Ji stood up and said, in his opinion, with those boats borrowed by Qin Tian, it would not be difficult to cross the Liaoshui, but with so many archers on the other side, it would undoubtedly have great lethality for them.

Therefore, he felt that Qin Tian said that he would cross the river directly, but he was afraid that it was a little unsatisfactory.

After Li Ji finished saying this, Li Shimin also frowned, Qin Tian here, his expression moved slightly, and said: "Holy Lord, there are indeed more archers in Silla Kingdom, although we can suppress them, but we still have a lot of casualties, so we might as well come to a grass boat tonight to borrow arrows and consume the enemy's sharp arrows." ”
