Chapter 678: Departure to the Western Turks
When Wei Chi Baolin came out to assemble the team just now, he had already thought of such a result, and the army he brought under his command left a part, and then gathered 3,000 elite soldiers to escort Li Xiang to the capital of the Western Turks.
According to Lord Zhao's thoughts, three thousand people may be a little less, in fact, there are already a lot of these people, if there are a little more, it is very likely that they have fought in the past, Li Xiang analyzed the situation of the Western Turks, the soldiers in his hands plus the soldiers under Niu Jinda, if you take the Western Turkic State in a ruthless state, there is no problem, after all, the elite troops of the Western Turks are all in the barracks of the Western Regions Alliance, even if they return to defense, it will never be faster than ours.
"After I leave, the situation in the border area will be handed over to Lord Zhao, as long as the soldiers under him can't hold out, no matter what kind of people provoke, we can be invincible, if someone provokes, we will fight back, but we must not pursue."
Li Xiang was making the final explanation, this matter was too urgent, so Li Xiang couldn't delay here, I thought that after Yu Chi Baolin came, there would be enough manpower, but I didn't expect this incident to happen again, so Li Xiang could only write a letter to Chang'an City, hoping that the imperial court could send Changsun Chong or Cheng Chuliang over.
Lord Zhao has no problem with this brain, and it is okay to manage the military camp, but if you really lead the troops to fight, it will be a little insufficient, so there must be a military general in the military camp.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, although the old man is a civil official, there is no problem in defending here, I will remember His Highness's words, no matter what kind of people provoke us, we will stay in this city, if they are forced too hard, we still have artillery fire to deal with them, and we will never go out of the city to meet them."
Li Xiang wanted this, after hearing Lord Zhao's words, Li Xiang nodded with a smile, and then gave Yu Chi Baolin a look, and the three thousand people immediately galloped away, these people had just rested in the barracks, and they were about to follow Li Xiang on the expedition, and there was no fatigue on their faces one by one, they were all Li Xiang's old subordinates, and they were able to follow His Highness again at this moment, and they were all like being beaten with chicken blood.
After going out for an hour, Li Xiang glanced back, sure enough, it was his old army, in this hour's rapid march, everyone's queue did not change, which really made Li Xiang's heart full of confidence, this is the most perfect combination of generals and soldiers.
"Your Highness, shouldn't you praise me, I brought your old troops from Goguryeo to the northwest, I didn't embarrass you, didn't I bring you any damage, did it?"
Wei Chi Baolin said very proudly, although this army has been away from Li Xiang for nearly two years, but at this moment it is still the same as before leaving Li Xiang, these people are very energetic, and they have not been tired at all because of the long journey, it seems that they have also rested in the past few days.
Li Xiang smiled and nodded, for Yu Chi Baolin's words, Li Xiang still agrees very much, whoever the army is in the hands of, it is possible to have a resonance with their lord, if the lord will be a wolf, then this is a litter of wolves, but if the lord will be a sheep, then this army will not think about any combat effectiveness in the future.
"Report to Your Highness, there are unknown cavalry ahead."
Just when the two were about to speak, the herald behind them rushed over, and in the process of their advance, the balloon was always in the air, and the war horse below pulled the balloon in the sky, which can be said to be the earliest adventure activity of this era, but the soldiers above were specially trained, and they were not very adaptable at the beginning, and now they can stay on it for two or three hours, and after two or three hours, they have to be replaced.
"Array."
After hearing this, Wei Chi Baolin immediately ordered his men to defend, Li Xiang was in the army, and at this moment he was still deep into the enemy's territory, if these people had any ideas, we had to prepare in advance.
After Wei Chi Baolin's words were finished, the cavalry behind him immediately formed a circular defensive array around him, and the soldiers in the middle had already pulled out the ballistas, and they were facing three different directions, except for the direction we came from, the other directions were ready, just waiting for Yu Chi Baolin's order, and the artillery on our side could teach you how to behave.
As for the cavalry chain crossbows on the periphery, they are also ready, and their chain crossbows are not the same as those used by others, and the chain crossbows used by these people are obviously one size larger than those used by others, so the range is much farther.
This is also the last time Li Xiang returned to Chang'an, the redesigned chain of crossbow arrows that can be put on the arm, which Li Xiang called close-range, that is, cho in modern society
The g-blade gun is about the same.
But the chain crossbow arrows on the back are different, which is like the semi-automatic rifles in modern society, and the range is relatively long.
Now the soldiers on the periphery use this, and the soldiers in the inner circle use the small ones, and when the enemy is charged, if it is a charge, we can configure it in echelons, snipe in sections, and kill them on a large scale.
Coalition people......
As soon as Li Xiang looked at the banner on the opposite side, he immediately understood what was going on, it should be General Kang Ying who got the news, so he brought someone over, and he didn't know what this general could teach.
The other party's army stopped three miles away, and they also knew that Datang had a warning range, if you rushed to this warning range in a daze, then I am afraid your life would not be saved.
"Dare to ask, but His Royal Highness Taisun, our general asks His Royal Highness Taisun to answer before the battle."
The other party ran over two cavalrymen, and they were holding one hand, which means that the other party is not carrying weapons, no matter what the two sides look like, answering before the battle is a tradition of this era, if you dare not go over, it means that you are too timid, and the soldiers below will look down on you, after all, no one wants to follow a coward general.
Li Xiang saw that General Kang Ying had come out, and Li Xiang didn't bring any retinue, even one of the other party's generals had such courage, didn't we, as the imperial grandson of the Tang Dynasty, even have this courage? Wouldn't that be a shame for the entire Datang?
