After the guards and armies under the command of Li Yu put down the rebellion of the remnants of Goguryeo and repelled the Silla intervening army, all the guards and generals who participated in the war thought that Siyi was nothing more than that, and a sense of arrogance rose in their hearts. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info plus in order to make meritorious contributions in the future war, the marquis worships the prime minister and the descendants of the shadow, and all the guards and generals are strictly in accordance with the firmament training code promulgated by Li Yu to train the soldiers and horses under their command.

Look at the training intensity of the soldiers and horses under his command far exceeds that of the elite soldiers of the imperial court, and the training is impressive, the military appearance is completely new, and the soldiers stand on the school field with an awe-inspiring atmosphere, so the generals and colonels are full of ambition, thinking that the strong army in the world belongs to me.

In the face of the unceremonious attack of the black tooth Changzhi, Li Shangdan, who had just hinted that his subordinates ridiculed the black tooth Changzhi, saw that he did not react, thinking that the other party had no courage and was secretly happy in his heart, his face turned black in vain, and Liu Shijiang's face turned red, and the captains and captains under the command of the two immediately became angry and wanted to denounce the black tooth who was empty-eyed in their eyes, ignoring their hard work to train elite soldiers.

"As the vanguard of the army appointed by His Royal Highness King Yan, I lead the army outside and have full authority over the lieutenant generals and colonels. If someone dares to refute the general, Hugh blames the general for turning his face and not recognizing people, there is such a flag. ”

Black Tooth Chang pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist violently, and cut off the flag on the stage with a knife.

A few lieutenants and lieutenants who were about to open their mouths opened their mouths, but finally closed their mouths sensibly and did not reveal a single word of foul language. Otherwise, he was humiliated by the seven-foot-tall black face in front of him, and he was cut off his head if he didn't obey the general's order, but there would be nowhere to cry out for injustice. Facing the annoyed eyes of his own general, he lowered his head one by one and said nothing, sad in his heart: You immortals are fighting, why do you have to pull us soldiers forward to fight?

After a ruthless and fierce shock to the unconvinced generals, the black tooth Changzhi put away the horizontal knife in his hand and shouted: "Follow the general to step down and review the three armies!" ”

"......"

The generals who were willing or not convinced followed the black tooth to get off the high point of the general's platform, stepped on the war horse to look at each army, and reviewed the soldiers' military appearance, dress, and spirit on their faces.

Hei Tooth Changzhi walked at the forefront of the team, although his face was still solemn, but in his heart was the joy of victory after using the majesty of King Yan to subdue the arrogant soldiers who were not convinced. If you don't knock down the arrogance in the hearts of these generals, how can you command the guards like an arm?

Qin Jingqian, Li Wenbai, who were the generals of the Beihai Iron Cavalry, saw that Li Shangdan and Liu Shijiang had black faces throughout the whole process, and the officers under their command were all like defeated roosters hanging their heads, and their hearts were happy.

Qin Jingqian asked with a smile: "Brother Li, why did Li Shangdan, Liu Shijiang and the others get along with General Heizhi?" Could it be that His Royal Highness King Yan's order could not be changed if they were not satisfied in their hearts? According to a certain point of view, it is better to obey the orders of General Heizhi, there is merit for winning the battle, and the main responsible person is also the commander, so why make trouble with the generals? ”

Li Wenbai, who was riding on the horse and shook his body, spread his hands and replied: "The two of them have been stationed in the Seoul area for a long time, and His Highness suddenly sent someone down to take care of them, and they felt a little uncomfortable. What's more, they think that they can be qualified for the position of vanguard, and there is no need to send others to lead them, in their eyes, General Blacktooth is undoubtedly flattering His Highness to get the position of vanguard, and he is here to steal credit. ”

After listening to Li Wenbai's analysis, Qin Jingqian almost laughed, during the time she spent with Heizhi Changzhi, she didn't see that he had the ability to please him.

……

After checking the military appearance and posture of each guard, Hei Yan Changzhi ordered each general to return to his own army, practice the battle formation on the school ground, and constantly follow the changes in the formation of each guard when the enemy is approached by the battlefield if possible. Waving the flags to command the armies, marching with drums to check whether the guards can attack or retreat in an orderly manner under the instructions of the drums and flags, and whether the various branches of the army cooperate with each other in the battle formation.

On the whole, the training of the guards did meet the standard of a strong army, the only deficiency was that the actual combat experience of the guards was too little, and a quarter of the soldiers and horses had not even been on the battlefield.

In addition to strict training and military discipline, a truly strong army must also have rich experience in actual combat. Otherwise, recruits who have not seen the bloody battlefield, no matter how good their training is, their psychological quality may not be able to pass the test, and if the war is slightly unfavorable, they may collapse because the soldiers' psychological fragility cannot withstand the bloody battle, resulting in a great defeat for the whole army.

During the campaign, what has always been the scruple of the leading generals is that the soldiers cannot bear the casualties on the battlefield, and the mental tension is high, which eventually leads to the roar of the battalion and the collapse of the whole army.

After reviewing the armies, the black tooth Tsuneyuki summoned the generals again and began to issue a battle plan based on the information obtained.

According to the report from the sentinel cavalry, Jin Yuanshu led the army to occupy the border city abandoned by the Tang army on his own initiative, and is currently stationed in the front line of Duogu and Haigu on the west bank of the Licheng River, constantly sending scouts to the west to inquire about the mountains and rivers along the way to Seoul and the military situation of the Tang army.

Although Seoul is located on a vast and fertile alluvial plain of rivers, the terrain around it is semi-enclosed, and it is surrounded by either the sea or mountains, except for a low and narrow hill in the north that leads to the coastal plain of Hunshui, where Pyongyang is located.

Therefore, there are only two roads to Seoul, east and south, one is from the west of Dogu Fortress, through the inland rugged mountains to Seoul, this road is the closest. The other is to go west from Haeguseong and follow the coastal plain to several mountain passes in the southern part of the Jaeyeong Plain, where Seoul is located, and cross this east-west mountain range that separates the Jaeyeong Plain from the coast, and you can march to Seoul.

Therefore, Heiya Changzhi decided to send the White Tiger Guard and the Flying Tiger Army led by Li Shangdan and Liu Shijiang to defend several mountain passes in the south leading to the Zaining Plain. Gao Chongde led the Suzaku Guard to choose favorable terrain in the hilly area of the eastern road leading to Seoul. He led the Beihai Iron Cavalry Left and Right Guards and the Celestial Lion Army to sit in Seoul, and then went to meet the battle according to the situation of Silla's march.

At this time, in addition to leaving 20,000 troops to still guard the key cities in the northern border of Silla, Jin Yuanshu personally led 80,000 elite soldiers to the west to occupy several large cities of Ajizhen, Niuqi, Dongbi, Duogu and Haigu, which the Tang army voluntarily abandoned. The army was divided into two routes, north and south, and stationed in Duogu and Haigu cities on the west bank of the Licheng River.

"At present, the Tang people are afraid of me like a tiger, and our army is full of morale and fighting spirit, and it is the time of shame."

Jin Yuanshu shouted proudly: "Our army should take this heaven-sent opportunity to take Seoul in one fell swoop, and then go down to Pyongyang and enter Liaodong." When I take the old land of Goguryeo for the king, it will be the time when my Silla will dominate the world. ”

During the battle, the Silla generals were moved by the pride of Kim Yuanshu to swallow mountains and rivers, and everyone was full of self-confidence, believing that this battle would defeat the Tang army in one fell swoop, and take advantage of the victory to pursue the Tang forces out of the old land of Goguryeo, laying a solid foundation for Silla's hegemony.
