The real battlefield is naturally not a heroic epic that can be sung and cried, but a bloody and brutal battle.

As soon as the two warriors touched, their swords faced each other, and immediately rows of figures fell to the ground.

When he fell to the ground on the battlefield, he almost never had a chance to stand up again.

If you look closely, you can easily find that almost all of the soldiers who fell to the ground were soldiers from the Tang Dynasty. Among the Ming army, there are very few who have fallen to the ground.

That armor was too much of an advantage.

Tang Jun's sword slashed on it, and even flashed sparks, but at most it could only leave white marks, and it was difficult to hurt people.

If they use too much force, they may even break their swords through a gap, or even break them.

But the blade made of steel in the hands of the Ming army is simply a divine weapon in this era.

What's more, most of the Tang army was just dressed in leather armor and was not vulnerable at all.

On the one hand, the defense is not broken, but on the other hand, it is unbreakable, so you can imagine how the battle situation is.

At the beginning of the war, the situation was almost one-sided, and the front kept advancing in the direction of Datang.

No matter how brave their Tang army was and was not afraid of sacrifice, it could only slow down the advance of the Ming army a little.

Kryptonite tactics show their might.

Sure enough, being able to become stronger by charging money is the basic law of the heavens and worlds.

In the face of such a strong Ming army, even if the general opposite is Tiance General Li Shimin, he can only be defeated.

"His Royal Highness King Qin! No, the casualties are too great. Quickly order Mingjin to withdraw his troops! ”

Looking at the fallen Tang Army soldiers one by one, the hearts of the generals seemed to be dripping blood.

Even if they have been in battle for a long time and are used to seeing life and death, looking at the scene in front of them, they can't help but twitch in their hearts.

Because the death of a soldier is not a necessary sacrifice for victory, but a death without hope!

The eldest grandson Wuji even admonished: "It's better to leave a group of men and horses after the break, and the King of Qin can lead a large group of men and horses to evacuate."

You don't have to go back to Chang'an.

The Ming army was so powerful that Chang'an could not hold it.

It's better to go north to Jinyang directly.

Li Valve has been operating in Jinyang for many years, and it is the real root base of Li Valve.

He also asked His Royal Highness the King of Qin to focus on the overall situation, return to Jinyang to recruit troops, train troops, and form an alliance with the Turks to see the after-effects. ”

Why don't you go back to Chang'an?

Although the eldest grandson Wuji did not say it explicitly, everyone understood the reason in their hearts.

Originally, Li Shimin was named the general of Tiance, and the crown prince Li Jiancheng was very dissatisfied with this. It's just that due to the situation, we have to work together to fight against the Ming first.

But if Li Shimin returns from defeat, then his military power will inevitably be swept away to the end.

Li Shimin, who lost his military power, was like a phoenix that had been plucked, and he could only be trapped in Chang'an and wait for death.

After all, even Li Shimin was defeated, so who else can resist the Ming army's soldiers?

Although the eldest grandson Wuji's plan is a little lacking in morality, many people secretly agree with it in their hearts.

Because, this does seem to be Li Shimin's best choice.

Li Shimin listened to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, but laughed out loud, and the laughter seemed to be full of confidence.

When the people heard this, they couldn't help but feel at ease.

This is exactly what they know Li Shimin, even in the face of adversity, he is still always optimistic, always positive, and never seems to be defeated.

This is also the reason why they are willing to follow Li Shimin.

Now, hearing Li Shimin's laughter, everyone can't help but have hope in their hearts.

Could it be that he has thought of a way to turn defeat into victory?

Everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears, wondering what tricks Li Shimin had to turn the danger into a disaster.

After all, if they can win, who wants to run away?

Everyone knows that the method of the eldest grandson Wuji is just to survive, and it is almost impossible to turn the tables around.

What's more, what kind of glorious thing is collusion with the Turks?

In the future, it may be left in the history books of future generations for 10,000 years.

Sure enough, Li Shimin never disappointed them.

Waiting for Li Shimin's laughter to stop, he said: "Wuji, why do you want to increase the popularity of others and destroy your own prestige."

I know you're doing it for my good, but the situation hasn't gotten that far.

In my opinion, my Datang still has a chance to win this battle.

I have already seen the weakness of the Ming army! ”

The weakness of the Ming army?

Is there still a weakness in such a fully armed Ming army?

Everyone is a person who knows the soldiers, even if they are literati, they have followed Li Shimin for a long time, and they are by no means laymen.

They also thought about the weakness of the Ming army for a long time, but they never found any plan to defeat the Ming army.

Could it be that Li Shimin really figured out a way to defeat the Ming army?

For a while, the shouts of killing on the battlefield shook the sky, and there was silence around Li Shimin, and everyone was waiting for Li Shimin's explanation.

But I heard Li Shimin continue: "I found a total of two weaknesses of the Ming army. ”

Two weaknesses!

On the battlefield, sometimes even a trivial weakness can be seized by the opponent and defeated.

And Li Shimin actually found two weaknesses of the Ming army, that is, it seems that it is not difficult to turn defeat into victory in this war.

For a while, everyone was in high spirits, and the shadow of defeat and flight in their hearts couldn't help but be swept away.

Several generals even geared up, just waiting for Li Shimin's order, and they were ready to lead their troops to rush forward, defeat the Ming army, and capture Zhao Mingyuan alive.

It's just that a few shrewd people are secretly confused in their hearts.

If the Ming army really has two weaknesses, then the Tang army does have a lot of victories.

Then why didn't Li Shimin directly order the attack?

Obviously, he could attack immediately, but he still had to explain it to them here slowly.

Li Shimin has always acted decisively, this is not his style!

Unless there's something wrong with that.

Perhaps, even if the weakness of the Ming army was found, it was a pity that it could not win.

But I heard Li Shimin continue: "The first weakness can be found if you look closely.

That is, the armor of the Ming army is too heavy. ”

The armor is too heavy?

Everyone quickly understood what Li Shimin was talking about.

Yes, the armor of the Ming army was made of stainless steel, which was indeed heavier than the leather armor of the Tang army, so it would naturally move slowly, and it was not as light as the Tang army.

It's so cumbersome, of course, in exchange for invincibility in defense. However, the continuous fighting on the battlefield requires more energy and is difficult to last.

Over time, the Ming army was bound to be more tired than the Tang army.

When the Ming army was exhausted, it was time for the Tang army to counterattack.

Thinking about this, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved.

I see.

No wonder Li Shimin was not in a hurry at all, and was in the mood to explain to them slowly, it turned out that he was waiting for the opportunity.

And what about the second weakness?

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but brighten.

The first weakness is so to the point, if there is another weakness, is it far from defeating the Ming army?

"Look!" Li Shimin suddenly pointed to the place where the two armies were fighting.

Everyone looked at each other, but they couldn't see any difference.

It was just an ordinary battle between the two armies, and it was no different from any other place.

If there is anything, the only thing is that it seems to confirm the first shortcoming of the Ming army that Li Shimin said just now.

Indeed, as the tide of the battle progressed, the offensive of the Ming army slowed down. The exchange ratio between the two sides is no longer as exaggerated as before.

But they still can't see any other weaknesses of the Ming army?

Seeing that everyone couldn't see it, Li Shimin had to reluctantly remind: "Discipline! ”

Discipline?

The crowd was a little confused.

Listening to these words and looking at the battlefield again, I understood.

It turned out that with the passage of time, the original uniform battle formation of the Ming army was long gone.

Let's not say it's a mess, but it's also a separate battle.

On the other hand, the Tang army, although it was also scattered, was more cooperative than the Ming army. Often in groups of several people, they besieged the Ming soldiers.

Even if the Ming army was heavily armoured, it was difficult to resist the siege of several Tang troops.

Even if someone tried to rescue, the armor on his body was bulky, which made his movements slow, far less fast than the Tang army, and he was often played around.

Over time, the casualties of the Ming army increased significantly.

Everyone understands that this is not only because of the armor, but also because the soldiers of the Ming army are not like the Tang Army, most of whom are veterans of the Great War and know how to cooperate.

The Ming army paid attention to discipline, but in this chaotic war, it could only fight on its own, and could not give full play to its advantages, but fell behind.

This can be said to be a disadvantage that is not a disadvantage.

All the generals are people who know the soldiers, so they naturally understand the reason.

In fact, this is only because the Ming army has not experienced many wars, and as long as there are a few more battles, the recruits will naturally understand what to do after they have passed the novice period.

Moreover, when the time comes, its combat power will definitely increase by a few chips, and it will surely become a truly invincible force in the world.

But they met Tang Jun when they were immature, and this shortcoming was even more noticed by the keen Li Shimin, so they seized this opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

Perhaps, it is really destiny in Li, right?

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts couldn't help but move slightly, and their admiration for Li Shimin couldn't help but be even better.

After the explanation, Li Shimin made a plan.

Ordered all the generals to lead a team of men and horses to take turns to kill, and then feigned defeat.

Then fight and retreat, luring the enemy deeper.

In the end, the Ming army was brought down.

The generals received their orders one after another, and excitedly led their troops away, as if they saw victory beckoning to them.

But they couldn't see it, and Li Shimin, who stayed in place, fell into deep thought.

Can this really win?

Don't look at Li Shimin, when he inspired everyone just now, he was full of confidence, and he was right.

But in fact, Li Shimin has always had hidden worries in his heart.

Of course, the two shortcomings of the Ming army mentioned by Li Shimin are not nonsense, but they are true.

But if you want to defeat the Ming army based on these alone, it will be too whimsical.

The Ming army has shortcomings, doesn't the Tang army have them?

In fact, the Tang army had far more shortcomings than the Ming army.

With the advantage of weapons alone, the Ming army can eat all over the world.

What's more, the Ming army may have some other backhand hidden behind, just waiting for the last blow to kill.

Now, Li Shimin no longer dares to regard Zhao Mingyuan as an ignorant martial artist.
