In the main tent of the military camp outside Huixian, listening to the news brought back by the scout in front of him, Li Chengming's face couldn't help but change.

About 30,000 cavalry, plus 30,000 soldiers, that is as much as 60,000, plus the original 16 guards in Chang'an City and the Beiya Forbidden Army, add up to 1230,000 soldiers in Li Shimin's hands.

1230,000 soldiers, that's not a joke, if there is this army in the chaos of war, it is enough to conquer the whole world.

Moreover, the total strength of the entire Datang is only about 600,000, and Li Shimin now has 1230,000 in his hands, about one-fifth, so it can be said that he is the most powerful person in the entire Datang now.

Don't look at the history of many battles won with less, and if you defeat the strong with the weak, you feel that there are fewer troops, so can't you use the art of war to remedy it?

But in fact, in fact, in addition to the limited number of battles in which fewer won more, in fact, more battles were fought with more and more battles were fought with less, and the strong defeated the weak, and this is the real historical battle.

Not only did Li Chengming change color when he heard this, but even Wang Hu was the same, Wang Hu even thought of the fact that Li Shimin was transferring troops and grain and grass from Chang'an a few days ago, regardless of the scout still reporting the matter in the tent, he stood up and reported to his fist a little anxiously, "Your Highness, please also order Xue Wanche and Luo Ning to return to the division immediately." ”

Hearing Wang Hu's words, Li Chengming raised his eyebrows, naturally knowing what Wang Hu meant.

Wang Hu should be afraid that Li Shimin will directly lead the 30,000 cavalry to rush over, if this is the case, it will really be a disaster.

You must know that now in the entire Huixian camp, in addition to the 3,000 troops left behind by Luo Ning's departure, there are only hundreds of personal guards left by him who asked Wang Hu to form.

If Li Shimin led the army over at this time, even if they still had some preparations on their side, there were explosives bags that were cheating weapons across the era, but the explosives bags were not omnipotent, and it was okay to face tens of thousands of foot soldiers, but if it was tens of thousands of cavalry, I was afraid that the flaws in the explosives package would be exposed.

What is the flaw in the explosives package?

Naturally, the explosives pack can only damage the enemy within a certain range, even if there are iron nails and other objects in the explosives pack, but when it comes to it, the power is actually like that.

If the enemy sees through this flaw and directly allows the soldiers to disperse and attack, then the power of the explosive package will be weakened to a minimum, and at that time, with their thousands of people, how can they be able to block the crowd tactics of hundreds of thousands of people?

Listening to Wang Hu's suggestion, Li Chengming, who was still a little shocked, slowly calmed down, first waved his hand at Wang Hu to let him go down, and then continued to look at the scout who was half-kneeling on the ground and said, "Do you know where these people came from?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, I have already found out clearly, these horses are all soldiers and horses from the arch guards of Qi, Tong, and Huazhou." The young man scouted.

Li Chengming bowed slightly after hearing this answer, this answer was not too out of his mind.

Although Li Chengming was not very clear about Datang's strength before, in the past ten days, he has also asked Xue Wanche and Luo Ning to make up lessons for him, and figured out the current strength of Datang.

The real total strength of the entire Datang is about 600,000, of which the number of cavalry is about 100,000 to 120,000, accounting for one-fifth of the entire Datang.

In order to defend the Beijing Division, Li Yuan at the beginning arranged about 40,000 or 50,000 cavalry around him.

Don't look at the number of cavalry, which only accounts for one-fifth of the Tang Dynasty, it feels small, on the contrary, it can be said that it is also the first existence in the past dynasties.

Although the land of the Central Plains is vast and rich, the Central Plains Dynasty has not been good at raising horses, and there is no source of horses, so there are very few horses in the Central Plains.

However, horses were extremely important in ancient warfare, because the mobility of cavalry was many times higher than that of foot soldiers.

Why in ancient times, the Central Plains Dynasty has not been able to defeat the surrounding grassland alien races, it is because these grassland alien races are grown on horseback, even if they are defeated for a while, as long as they are not really wiped out, they can soon make a comeback.

Think about it, when the Central Plains Dynasty and the grassland aliens were in a big war, the Central Plains Dynasty could defeat the grassland aliens ten times with the tactics of crowds, but among these ten times, the grassland aliens were defeated, and immediately led the army to flee on horseback.

On the contrary, as long as you lose once, then you have to face the cavalry pursuit of the steppe army, and you can't fight it, and you can't escape it, how can such a battle last long?

Historically, the reason why the Han and Tang dynasties were able to defeat the grassland aliens was that these two dynasties liked to raise horses, and there were a large number of horse sources and cavalry, and they stood on an equal starting line with the grassland aliens, so that they had the basis for defeating the grassland aliens.

There are only about 1230,000 cavalry in the entire Tang Dynasty, and now the cavalry in Li Shimin's hands may exceed 30,000 or 40,000.

"What else is there to hear?" Li Chengming asked the scout again.

The young scout thought for a moment, and then hugged his fists and said, "Back to Your Highness, there was also a uncertain news from Chang'an City yesterday, saying that some people said that the rebels might raise troops to recruit us in two days, but this news was only heard in the market, and it has not yet been determined." ”

"Two days?" Li Chengming frowned, his eyes flashed, and then he waved his hand and said, "Okay, this king knows, I've worked hard for you, go down to receive the reward and rest!" ”

"Your Highness!" After hearing Li Chengming's words, the scout bowed again, and then turned around and walked out of the main tent.

After the scout walked out, Li Chengming's face was slightly calm, and he began to think about it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!! ~~~

His fingers lightly tapped on the Hu case in front of him, Li Chengming's eyes flashed, and he kept thinking about the situation at this time.

However, although the situation at this time may be extremely dangerous for others, Li Chengming does not have any worries, he has his own hole cards, and he is sure that even if Li Shimin leads hundreds of thousands of troops over, he can retreat calmly.

However, if he retreated like this, he was very unwilling.

For a long time, after knowing that the system in his body was so powerful, Li Chengming actually didn't care about Li Shimin in his heart, because in his opinion, no matter how Li Shimin struggled, he would win this game by himself, and he could only be himself.

But what he didn't expect was that in such a short period of time, Li Shimin planned to lead an army to conquer him while he was sending people out to attack the city.

This time, if he hadn't gotten the news in advance, he would have been caught off guard by Li Shimin, and even if he could leave, he would have been embarrassed.

"In that case, then I'll make a first move!" Li Chengming raised his head, looked at the void, the corners of his mouth lifted lightly, and suddenly muttered in a low voice.
