Chapter 189

"Yes, that's it! However, if I can send His Highness 100,000 strange soldiers, it depends on whether His Highness has the ability to take it! Xu Shize's face was full of smiles.

Staring at Xu Shize's scheming look, Tang Yu said speechlessly: "Do you want me to subdue Li Jing?" ”

"That's right, if you want to get these 100,000 strange soldiers, it depends on whether His Highness can subdue Li Jing!" Xu Shize nodded in response.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, do you know why Li Jing, as the founder of the Hundred Battles Armor-Piercing Army, became a bandit?" Xu Shize smiled.

Tang Yu asked, "Why is this?" ”

He really couldn't figure out how a super general like Li Jing could be in such a situation as a bandit.

"This matter is going to start with Da Chu three years ago..."Xu Shize sighed, his eyes suddenly deepened.

It turned out that three years ago, he led an army of 300,000 to attack, and the Tang Dynasty solemnly waited for it and mobilized 500,000 troops from all over the country to garrison Jingzhou City.

Jingzhou City is the first line of defense of Datang, as solid as a rock, easy to defend and difficult to attack, logically speaking, 500,000 troops against 300,000 troops, numerically occupy a sufficient advantage, plus Jingzhou City as a guarantee, Datang has long been invincible.

But the problem was with the commander Tang Long, when the general Qin Mang was recuperating at home and could not go out, Qin Mang suggested that Tang Long should be in command of the expedition, in Qin Mang's view, this is a battle of perseverance, as long as you don't make low-level mistakes, resisting the invasion of Great Chu is never a problem.

But no one expected that Tang Long was eager to make meritorious contributions and play a good hand of cards.

Three years ago, the Great Chu led the troops with the Great Chu champion Hou Ye Yuanba, Ye Yuanba carried an army of 300,000 and attacked the city for half a month, not only did not take any advantage, but also continuously lost troops and generals.

So, Ye Yuanba had a plan, he specially led his troops to attack the city in person, deliberately was shot by Tang Long's arrow, and then began to cheat death, accompanied by Ye Yuanba's fraudulent death, the Great Chu military camp wailed, and countless generals wore white clothes and hung up white silk, as if the champion Hou Ye Yuanba was really killed by Tang Long's arrow.

Tang Long was overjoyed when he saw this, and he was ready to take this opportunity to attack the Great Chu military camp at night.

Li Jing realized that there was something abnormal at that time, and he dissuaded Tang Long not to take risks, but Tang Long took command for the first time, and he ignored Li Jing's dissuasion and insisted on going his own way.

That night, in addition to the 30,000 defenders left in the city, more than 400,000 troops all went out of the city to attack the Great Chu military camp at night, what everyone didn't expect was that the Chu army camp was empty, and the Chu army's resting camp tent was full of fire oil.

The feather arrow carrying the fire directly ignited the oil of fire, and the explosion was deafening in an instant, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty suffered heavy casualties in the explosion.

Subsequently, the champion Hou Ye Yuanba brought people in like no one else, Ye Yuanba was born with divine power, infinite power, and he killed several generals of the Tang Dynasty in a few faces, and the heart of the Tang Army was suddenly disheartened.

Tang Long knew that he had been fooled, and he immediately chose to lead his troops to break through.

It's just that the situation was chaotic at that time, even if there were more Tang troops, but the morale of the army had already been weakened, Da Chu ambushed the archers, and a large number of soldiers were shot by Da Chu Yu arrows just after breaking through.

After a night of fierce fighting, Tang Long finally fled back to Jingzhou City with less than 50,000 people.

Tang Long thought that it would be safe in this way, but he didn't expect Ye Yuanba to dig the tunnel in advance, Tang Long had just returned to Jingzhou City, and the Chu army followed the tunnel and killed it again.

Tang Long united with the 30,000 defenders of Jingzhou City and defeated the Chu army at a terrible price, and after the battle, only 50,000 people remained in the 500,000 army of Jingzhou City.

What makes people desperate is that the 300,000 reinforcements of Da Chu arrived in time, and the joint champion Hou Ye Yuanba had 200,000 troops left, fully gathering 500,000 people.

Although the encirclement and suppression of the Tang Dynasty soldiers lost 100,000 people, Ye Yuanba's department still had 200,000 soldiers with outstanding combat power.
