Chapter 22: Mobile Battery: Huang Zhong
Kyoto, Seisei Hall.
Ten days have passed since the Turkic and Goryeo missions were killed.
"Your Majesty, in the past ten days, the grain sent to Kyoto from all over Dayan is 50 million catties, which is enough for my Dayan 300,000 soldiers for three months."
"At the same time, the central general Zhuge Invincible and the eldest prince Tang Tingfeng have led their troops to Hedong Mansion and Longyou Mansion, and have fought several skirmishes with the Turks, with few casualties."
Prime Minister Su Zhen opened his mouth with a solemn face.
Tang Tingbai was dressed in a dragon robe and sat on a dragon chair.
He nodded, his voice calm, "Well, I know. ”
Tang Tingbai was moved in his heart, and he didn't expect that the people of Dayan would be able to be so united at this time and spare no effort to help the Dayan court.
As long as this battle can be won, Tang Tingbai will definitely reduce the taxes of the people of Dayan for three years!
Tang Tingbai was just about to speak, but the voice of the system suddenly came!
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission and hating the enemy."
"Reward the host king shooter hero Huang Zhong."
"At present, Huang Zhong's implanted identity is, the commander of the first regiment of the White Tiger Legion."
"His people are good at developing gunpowder and inventing a siege cannon that can blow up the city gate from a hundred meters away!"
What?
Hearing the sound of the system, Tang Tingbai looked happy.
He loved the system more and more.
Knowing that Tang Tingbai lacked siege weapons, he directly rewarded Huang Zhong as a mobile battery.
Forced to feel excited in his heart, Tang Tingbai raised his head and looked at Wang Changlin, the Ministry of Industry: "Wang Butang, how are the weapons and armor of the White Tiger Legion?" ”
Wang Changlin immediately took a step forward, with a hint of joy on his face.
"Back to the emperor, the Ministry of Industry has worked day and night for the past ten days, and finally made 50,000 sets of Jinhui battle armor and 50,000 sawtooth knives, which have been sent to the White Tiger Legion this morning."
"The defense of the Golden Radiance Battle Armor is amazing, even my Dayan's best steel knife can't cut through the Golden Radiance Battle Armor, especially the Golden Radiance Battle Armor is also equipped with a helmet, and it is difficult for ordinary arrows to hurt the soldiers wearing the Golden Radiance Battle Armor."
"The sawtooth knife is even more powerful, sharpening iron like mud, my Dayan's best steel knife is in front of the sawtooth knife, it is like made of mud, the weapons of the Goryeo army are relatively backward, our army will inevitably be crushed all the way in this battle, and our army will win."
Tang Tingbai nodded slightly and did not speak.
Everything is expected, and the system must be a high-quality product.
In the past ten days, Dayan has been carefully preparing for the national war.
The Great Yan Imperial Court went all out, and so did the people.
Many Dayan people kept only a small amount of rations and donated most of their family's food to the imperial court.
In recent years, the people have suffered greatly from the war and know the truth of the ruin of the country and the destruction of the family.
"Yuan Fang, what is the reaction of the Turks and Goryeo?" Tang Tingbai asked.
Li Yuanfang immediately took a step forward.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates sent the steamed Turkic envoys back to the Turks ten days ago, and according to the report of Jinyiwei, the Turkic Shan Yu was extremely angry and was ready to send 500,000 troops to attack Hedong Mansion."
"On the other hand, Goryeo is much quieter, and Goryeo has gathered all its forces in Seoul, which is the closest to my Dayan River East Mansion, and it seems that they are preparing to fight with our army to decide the victory."
Oh?
Listening to Li Yuanfang's words, Tang Tingbai frowned.
In the past few days, the Turks have only had a few skirmishes with Dayan, obviously waiting for the opportunity.
As long as Dayan attacked Goryeo, then the Turks would also do their best to attack Hedong Province.
Therefore, it is necessary to destroy Goryeo as quickly as possible and not give the Turks a chance to react.
After the destruction of Goryeo, it is estimated that the Turks should also be afraid and dare not attack rashly.
Tang Tingbai stood up with a solemn expression: "Everyone, at noon today, I will take the 50,000 White Tiger Legion to the imperial expedition, and everything in the imperial court will be handed over to the prime minister and your lords." ”
After speaking, Tang Tingbai bowed to everyone!
Seeing this scene, all the civil and military officials were stunned.
Apparently I didn't expect this murderous tyrant to be so polite.
Prime Minister Su Zhen knelt directly on his knees: "Please rest assured, even if the old minister gives up this old life, he will definitely help you take care of Dayan!" ”
Immediately afterwards, all the ministers belonging to the Nanshan faction knelt down.
The prime ministers all knelt, and they naturally didn't dare not kneel.
In Dayan, when going to court on weekdays, the courtiers only need to bow down and salute, and they don't need to bow down at all.
But Su Zhen knelt down willingly today.
A few days ago, he looked down on Tang Tingbai, a tyrant, from the bottom of his heart, but after more than ten days of contact, Su Zhen found that Tang Tingbai was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Seeing the people kneeling on the ground, Tang Tingbai smiled with relief: "Okay, your lords, wait for the news of my triumph!" ”
After speaking, Tang Tingbai directly walked out of the Xuanzheng Hall with his hands behind his back, and went straight to the camp of the White Tiger Legion.
looked at Tang Tingbai's back as he drifted away.
Prime Minister Su Zhen's eyes were full of worry.
He knew that during the time that Tang Tingbai left, Kyoto would never be peaceful.
Especially the Queen Mother Zhao Suzhi, it is very likely that she will do something.
……
The White Tiger Legion, the middle military academy.
Tang Tingbai was dressed in gold armor and a red cloak behind his back, looking majestic and handsome.
Below, 50,000 White Tiger Legion soldiers were wearing golden armor, holding sawtooth knives in their hands, and their bodies were amazingly imposing.
Lu Bu stood at the forefront of 50,000 people.
Behind Lu Bu stood a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a somewhat gray beard.
Tang Tingbai knew that he was Huang Zhong of the mobile fort!
Looking at the 50,000 elites, Tang Tingbai smiled with satisfaction.
After more than ten days of recuperation, the soldiers' bodies have recovered as before, and with such weapons and equipment, their combat effectiveness has at least doubled.
"Brothers, I'm Tang Tingbai."
"I won't say much nonsense, this attack on Goryeo, our goal is to destroy the Kingdom of Goryeo."
"In this battle, you are fighting for Dayan, and you are also fighting for yourself, and when you defeat the Kingdom of Goryeo, I will allow you to rob for three days, how much you can rob depends on your own ability!"
What?
Hearing this, all the warriors' eyes lit up.
"I heard you right, right? The first article of Dayan's military law is that it is not allowed to rob the people, right? Now the emperor actually asked us to rob the people of Goryeo, I am stunned. ”
"You are a pig's brain, what the Dayan military law says is that it is not allowed to rob the people of Dayan, Goryeo is an enemy country, think about the brutality of the Goryeo people, is there something wrong with us grabbing some money?"
"That's it, Lao Tzu has been holding his breath in his heart, the emperor had better order the slaughter of the city, Lao Tzu really wants to kill all the capricious Goryeo villains."
“……”
The soldiers of the White Tiger Legion were talking.
Tang Tingbai smiled with satisfaction, and pulled out the long sword on his waist: "The White Tiger Legion listens to the order, the target is Seoul, the Kingdom of Goryeo, and go!" ”
The 50,000 White Tiger Army soldiers had murderous eyes, and their right fists slammed into their chests, letting out bursts of angry roars.
"Victory!"
"Victory!!"
"Winning !!"
……
Three days later, the White Tiger Legion had arrived in the territory of the Kingdom of Goryeo.
For three days, the army traveled long distances.
Out of Kyoto, into Kato Prefecture.
Along the way, the people of Kyoto's prefectures lived and worked in peace and contentment.
But the farther north he went, the worse Tang Tingbai's mood became.
Especially when he entered Hedong Mansion, Tang Tingbai saw the scene of starvation all over the wilderness.
Because of the war, the people of Hedong Prefecture have no harvest this year, and many people are even homeless.
Although the imperial court also allocated a lot of food, it was still a drop in the bucket, far from enough.
Even the bark on the roadside along the way is almost eaten up!
Tang Tingbai urgently ordered the household department to continue to transfer grain to Hedong Mansion.
At the same time, he clenched his fists and secretly swore in his heart that he must lead the people of Dayan to live a good life.
The White Tiger Legion traversed Unjung-gun and hurried to Sangdang-gun, and finally came to Seoul, the second largest city in Goryeo!
Seoul has a population of one million and thick walls, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Tang Tingbai stood in the distance, looking at the majestic Seoul and frowned.
If they were to attack, all 50,000 of them would probably die here.
All 150,000 soldiers and horses from all over Goryeo gathered in Seoul.
In other words, as long as Seoul is captured, Goryeo will no longer have the ability to resist.
"Your Majesty, according to the report of the secret agent of the Jinyi Wei Goryeo Branch, the king of Goryeo, Park Yifen, also came to Seoul, and threatened to settle the situation in a war, obviously not taking our 50,000 troops into account." Li Yuanfang arched his hand.
"Father-in-law, the brothers are physically and mentally exhausted after three days of rapid marching, and the child thinks that Goryeo should not let go of the opportunity to attack the camp tonight, and we have to guard against it." Lu Bu solemnly spoke.
In front of outsiders, he called Tang Tingbai the emperor.
After all, there is a difference between up and down.
But when there are no outsiders, Lu Bu still likes to call Tang Tingbai a father-in-law.
Nothing else, shout, in a good mood.
Tang Tingbai nodded: "Well, Yuan Fang, Feng Xian, bring more people tonight to prevent the Goryeo army from sneaking attack, let the large army have a good rest, and we will start attacking the city early tomorrow morning." ”
Lu Bu and Li Yuanfang bowed together.
"The child understands."
"Subordinates obey!"
Tang Tingbai put his hands behind his back and looked at Seoul in the distance.
He was very curious in his heart, what kind of surprise would Huang Zhong bring to him tomorrow with the mobile fort?
