Chapter 1276: War Elephant
When he took Nanzhao Kingdom back then, his subordinates once told Li Xiang that if Li Xiang was willing, he could keep the war elephant troops of Nanzhao Kingdom.
Although this kind of army has had good records in history, it is completely unnecessary to retain such a force according to the current development of the Tang army, and it is only necessary to find a way to crack it.
To put it bluntly, the movement is too slow, and many places cannot be visited, so it is purely a burden to take them with you.
But in the eyes of the generals of the Bi Kingdom, this army can bless them to victory, the Tang army lacks experience in fighting with the war elephant troops, if it really goes to the battlefield, our war elephants shout two voices together The Tang army may not be able to hold on.
The countries of South Asia have retained war elephant troops, and throughout their combat history, war elephant units can play a part, but they cannot determine the outcome of the war.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Xiang did not let the Tang army stay.
At this moment, a smile appeared on the face of General Mipo, and when he was leaving, he told His Royal Highness that he wanted His Royal Highness to concentrate all his strength, and be sure to put away all the elephants in the country, and then treat them as secret magic weapons on the battlefield, and win or lose in one fell swoop.
The court of the Bi Kingdom also thought that there was nothing wrong with this strategy, even if Li Xiang could lead the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry to fight all over the world, but there was no war elephant force unique to us in other places, and they seemed to have seen Li Xiang poke here.
After a few days of rapid marching, they finally arrived in the south of Wacheng, and when they saw the Tang scouts in the distance, they knew that the next days might not be so easy, and the Tang army had already discovered them.
There are still more than a hundred miles away from Wacheng, and the scouts of the Tang Dynasty have already been sent here, which is really terrifying, I really don't know how the Tang Dynasty usually fights.
According to the common sense of some generals of the country of Piao, when they are fighting outside, they can control the range of fifty or sixty miles around them at most, which is already a very large circle, but they didn't expect that the control distance of Datang is more than double that of them.
In fact, this is because of the local terrain, if you are fighting in the grassland and the Western Regions, this distance may be more than 200 miles, although it will waste a lot of manpower and material resources, but the war is a piece of intelligence, if you can't know the intelligence in advance, then you will lose the opportunity on the battlefield.
It's finally here!
Li Xiang is lying on Cheng Ying's lap to eat at the moment, after the fruit arrives in the south, the fruits here are much richer than Chang'an City, many tropical fruits have not been eaten since Li Xiang was reborn, and now he really eats as much as he wants, and there are no chemical fertilizer additives, the most important thing is that it does not cost money.
"You go back to the city well, it's not safe to stay here, it is said that you should not be brought here, you have to come noisy yourself, and those people I arranged for you must not leave their sight."
Li Xiang looked at the guards outside the courtyard, these more than 20 people were exchanged in the system, they would strictly implement Li Xiang's orders, and in order to ensure Cheng Ying's safety, these people would even lose their lives.
"The concubines all listen to His Highness, but His Highness also has to pay attention to his own safety."
Cheng Ying's eyes were full of concern, but this girl also understood that Li Xiang couldn't waste too much time now, and after finishing speaking, she followed the guards and retreated to the city.
The interior of Wacheng has been cleaned up several times, and Li Xiang wants to use this place as a base camp, so he has also checked from house to house, as long as they have offensive weapons, they have all been pulled outside the city, and the remaining Han people account for the majority.
Of course, we can't take it lightly, after all, these people have lived outside for so many years, who knows if they still remember their ancestors, if they don't remember, then we have to use steel knives to remember them for them.
The horn of the assembly also sounded, and the Tang army quickly stepped on its own war horses, thinking that when they came to the south to fight, there would be no need for war horses, but under Li Xiang's strict orders, they could still do one person and two horses.
At this moment, Li Xiang also put on his new armor, which is the style personally created by the Tang Dynasty for the Tiance general, imitating Li Shimin's style back then, but it is made more vivid, and Li Xiang can be seen at a glance among the ten thousand armies.
Of course, it is very dangerous to do this, and it is very likely that the other party will be used as a target, but the premise is that the other party can rush over Li Xiang, and he is very confident in his soldiers, so he is not afraid to expose himself.
The sound of the horn of the country of Bi also came, although these armies of theirs came from afar, but seeing that the Tang army in front of them had already set up their formation, they couldn't find a place to rest for a while, if this was the case, maybe the Tang army would rob the camp.
"The left and right armies are fighting."
Li Xiang leaned on his seat, even on the front line of the war, there was a 24-lift sedan chair with a height of 1.8 meters.
This is the majesty of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, no matter where we go, we are much stronger than other countries, which also represents the comprehensive national strength of the Tang Dynasty, at least your monarch will not dare to play like this.
"Fuso Warrior ......"
"Goguryeo Boy's ......"
As soon as Li Xiang's words fell, an army rushed out from the left and right sides, and they were the servant armies of these two countries.
Changsun Ze looked at the two armies contemptuously, he really didn't know what to say about them, the two armies added up to five thousand people, but the slogans shouted were like tens of thousands.
Especially on the side of the Goguryeo army, the ability to shout slogans was obviously practiced before, but I don't know how capable you are on the battlefield, if you are really strong enough, when we beat you back then, I am afraid we will not be defeated so quickly.
The slogans of the Goguryeo and Fusang armies were wave after wave, and the two sides were like a game, and no one wanted to be compared, they knew that this was an opportunity, as long as they showed their abilities on the battlefield, then more people in their hometowns could join the army.
Now their hometown is having a hard time, if they can join the army, it will be equivalent to improving the life of the whole family, and even the life of the other ethnic groups can be better, and the opportunity to perform is at their feet......
