Chapter 1274: Fire Bottle

Wa City

The follow-up troops of the Tang Dynasty have already come, and the surrounding places that should be occupied have also been occupied, and according to Changsun Ze's ideas, they should continue to attack south.

However, according to the information obtained by Li Xiang, all the troops in the country are being assembled to go north, and if we go south at this time, we may diverge from their main force, and if we want to fight them at that time, I am afraid it will not be so simple.

According to Li Xiang's strategy, we should crush their main force in one fell swoop, and then let their entire country lose confidence, neither the officials nor the common people will have the heart to continue to resist, and then our war will be half won.

Although we can occupy a large area of land now, we do not have enough troops to effectively control these areas, but we will scatter our forces, and if something goes wrong on one front, it will not be good for us.

Therefore, Li Xiang urgently stopped Changsun Ze's southward movement, but gathered the army near Wacheng, no matter how many troops the Bi Kingdom mustered up, we must give them a head-on blow on the frontal battlefield, on the one hand, annihilate their living force, on the other hand, and most importantly, that is, to crush the faith in their hearts.

"What is Your Highness worried about these days? Could it be that the army of the Pyu State can still inflict too many casualties on us? ”

Changsun Ze said a little strangely, Li Xiang has been frowning for the past few days, either looking at the mountains in the distance, or staring at the map and worrying, Changsun Ze really can't find the reason why Li Xiang is worried.

Cao Lian also shook his head, he didn't know what Li Xiang was worried about, at this moment both of them looked at Zhang Jiuli, Zhang Jiuli was now almost the number one strategist by Li Xiang's side, he definitely knew.

Zhang Jiuli pretended not to see the eyes of the two, as the first strategist by Li Xiang's side, of course he knew what he should do, and giving Li Xiang advice at a critical moment would never satisfy the curiosity of you people.

"Report to Your Highness generals, the Zhenla army of about 31,000 people has crossed the border between the two countries a few days ago and marched towards our side, advancing forty-five miles a day, and will arrive in about four days."

Just when they were stunned, the herald came to report, and the Zhenla army came to support the operation, which is also what everyone has long thought of, but only more than 30,000 people came, which seems to be a little too stingy, after all, the alliance signed by the two countries Li Xiang also knew that it was to raise the country's soldiers to help, and these more than 30,000 people were the country's soldiers?

Li Xiang waved his hand to let people go down, and then looked at the report of the scouts, the army sent by Zhenla was not the strongest, but a local place, and the army showed that Zhenla did not really want to fight with Datang, after all, the war was not on his own land, and there was no need for people to die.

"Do you want to hand over the people from the state capital to attack?"

Changsun Ze leaned over and said, they also have a series of strategies against Zhenla, if Zhenla's army enters the territory of the country of Pi, then our army near the border will go directly, and Zhenla at that time is like a paper tiger.

The strength of Datang is still too strong, whether it is two wars or three wars, the army at the border of Datang can handle it.

"It's not suitable for the time being, they haven't mobilized the army on the northern border, haven't we sent people to scout before? The combat effectiveness of the army in the north of Chenla is very strong, and we will wait for them to mobilize a group, not to mention that our progress is not slow now, as long as we can achieve a key victory, then the battle situation of the country is decided. ”

Li Xiang shook his head, sometimes you need to take risks, but sometimes if you have a complete strategy, then there is no need to take risks.

"So what are you worried about? Can't you see that now? They weren't our opponents at all, we could play as much as we wanted, and the bottom line at the back didn't suffer too much. ”

Changsun Ze added that he originally thought that Li Xiang was worried about the logistics supply line, after all, there were too many mountain roads along the way from Wacheng to the border line, if the Bi people sneak attacked our logistics supply line, they would have too many opportunities, but after two days of observation, not many people sneaked up on our supply line.

Of course, this is mainly thanks to the border army of the country of Pi, when they retreated, they offended the people on the border, if they didn't do this, maybe the border people would still resist, and our bottom line would be dangerous.

Now the common people of the country regard the border army of the country as enemies, how can they help them deal with the Tang army? And the Tang army did not enter the village, let alone do anything that everyone was angry about, so the current supply line is very safe.

"It's okay to tell you, I'm worried about their war elephant troops."

Yesterday afternoon, Li Xiang received news that the Bi State had already mobilized their war elephant troops from the south, and that the mounts of this army were all elephants, and if they were to be transferred to the battlefield, they would really be a huge enemy.

After Li Xiang's words were finished, the faces of these people present also changed dramatically, they have all lived in the south for a long time, and there are many elephants in Nanzhao, and they have also formed a war elephant army.

But the two sides did not resist, so they didn't know the strength of this army, but even so, this does not mean that the Tang generals are stupid, thinking of the huge body of the elephant, they are indeed shuddering, if our cavalry meets such an army, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Just when everyone was worried, a transport team came from the north, and Huo Qubing escorted dozens of truckloads of things.

"Okay, there's nothing to worry about now, originally I thought that Huo Qu's illness and they couldn't come, and our cavalry would definitely suffer losses in the face of the war elephant troops, but now with these things, then we don't have to be afraid."

Hearing Li Xiang say this, everyone is even more confused, such a huge thing, do you say you don't need to be afraid, don't you need to be afraid?

Changsun Ze took three steps and made two steps, and hurriedly ran to the side of the convoy, if it weren't for the general's armor on his body, there would be soldiers shooting arrows at him immediately.

There were a lot of small porcelain bottles in this box, all of which were full, and when Changsun Chong opened them, he smelled the smell of lamp oil.

Fire Bottle ......

This is the Tang army's response to the burning pi

G's name, they have used this weapon in the army before, but this time the scale is a little larger, do you want to use this against elephants?
