The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 856 Changsun Wuji's Deployment

Everyone began to attack Jie Li, wishing that Jie Li and his son were right in front of them so they could skin them alive.

At this point, Gu Rentu, who had not appeared, hurried over and shouted, "My king, it's bad. Our horses have eaten something and are starting to have diarrhea. Some horses can't even stand up. They are sweating all over and their legs are shaking."

"croton."

After hearing the symptoms described by Gu Rentu, an older centurion said in horror, "These are symptoms of poisoning. They must have been fed croton. Even if we start treating them now, these horses will not be able to stand up for at least three days."

"Even if he is cured, his vitality will be severely damaged. He won't be able to recover to his original state within a month and won't be able to go to the battlefield."

Hermu gnashed his teeth and said, "This must be Jie Li. The Tang army doesn't have such ability. Only Jie Li has such energy and convenience. This is coordinated with the Tang army outside to besiege the city. He doesn't leave us any chance to survive!"

"Has Changshengtian abandoned us?"

A captain of a thousand men shouted in despair, "Outside is a wall of iron and steel formed by 200,000 Tang troops, and inside the city our most trusted war horses have also been broken down. Without war horses, how can our 20,000 men break out of the encirclement of 200,000 Tang troops?"

"Will we never be able to return to the grasslands? Will we die in Goguryeo thousands of miles away?"

Seeing this desperate situation with no way to go up to heaven and no door to enter the earth, everyone became panicked.

"Hmph, why are you panicking?"

Gu Rentu roared angrily, "Look at how cowardly you are, are you still a general under the Right Wise King?"

"What is there to be afraid of? It's just a mere 200,000 Tang troops. No matter how many there are, they are still cowards. They teamed up with Jie Li to plot such a conspiracy and dare not compete with us on the battlefield. This shows that they are more afraid of us."

Gu Rentu's bold words instantly calmed the crowd, and everyone was hoping for a miracle to happen.

"Yes, Gu Rentu is right. They are more afraid than us. To be more clear, they are afraid of our Right Sage King."

Hermu also immediately realized that the fear in people's hearts was more terrifying than the enemies outside. If they had the belief that they would win, they would be able to fight their way out even in desperate situations. If they were afraid in their hearts, they would surely be defeated before the war even started.

So he began to reassure people: "The Right Wise King is the invincible Atusmode. From the day he rose on the grassland, he became the nightmare of countless people. When the grassland people heard the reputation of the Right Wise King, they were so scared that they trembled all over and couldn't even pick up their swords or guns."

"The Tang people are no exception. The more troops they have, the more it proves the fear in their hearts. They have no confidence in defeating the Right Wise King."

"The Right Wise King has never been defeated. He has seen situations that are ten times more dangerous, but in the end, the one who wins is always the Right Wise King."

The timid Madam Qian also echoed loudly, "With the invincible Right Wise King here, we are not afraid of anything."

"As long as the Right Wise King is here, even if the sky falls, the Right Wise King can hold it up."

"We only believe in our Right Wise King. Long live the Right Wise King."

Everyone looked at the figure who had been extremely calm from the beginning, with no trace of fear on his face.

As if grasping the last straw, the fear in everyone's heart gradually dissipated, courage gradually grew, and a strong anger rose from their hearts. Everyone clenched their right fists and shouted loudly: "Right Wise King!"

"Right Wise King"

"Right Wise King"

As everyone roared, the voices slowly merged and then spread far away. Finally, the soldiers on the city wall seemed to see the faith in their hearts, the undefeated myth, and began to shout "You Xian Wang". The voices of 20,000 soldiers formed a wave that rushed straight into the sky.

In the Tang army camp ten miles due north of Liaodong City, Changsun Wuji in the commander's tent was gathering all the generals to discuss military affairs early in the morning. Tang Jian accompanied him. Two generals, Hou Junji and Yuchi Gong, were also among them, and there were more than twenty senior generals in the army under them.

Changsun Wuji was full of confidence. He had 200,000 infantrymen and 30,000 Flying Tiger Army, including more than 50 soldiers with the rank of Lieutenant General and above.

There were more than twenty generals and above who led troops over ten thousand.

Seeing the generals gathered together and hearing the generals of each army report that their troops had arrived at the designated locations and set up layers of obstacles to ensure that not even a fly could fly out of Liaodong City, Changsun Wuji felt an infinite sense of pride in his heart.

"Everyone, the ambush has been set up from all sides. The Right Wise King's troops are now trapped."

Chang Sun Wuji said proudly, "And I have a good news to tell you all. Before Jie Li left, he sent someone to leave a message that he had already sent someone to sprinkle croton powder in the horse feed of the Right Wise King's troops. If everything goes well, the Right Wise King's 20,000 cavalrymen have now become infantry?"

"Great!"

Hou Junji waved his fist and said excitedly: "Although our army will definitely win, it is inevitable that we will suffer heavy losses if we face experienced cavalry. As long as there are no war horses, there is no need for more than 200,000 people."

"With just 50,000 ordinary soldiers, I can capture the Right Wise King alive."

"Hehehe." Yuchi Gong raised his head, a look of contempt on his face, and said proudly: "Duke Lu is still a little cautious. If it were me, I would only need 30,000 people to twist off the head of that bird Right Wise King."

Hou Junji, who was in a good mood, smiled stiffly and his face suddenly turned serious when he heard this.

This Yuchi Gong has such a bad temper. You brag about yours and I brag about mine, but why do you need to bring me along? If you don't give others a blow, you can't show how powerful you are, right? This old guy offends people everywhere in Chang'an.

For this, he was exiled to Xiangyang by the emperor and neglected for five or six years. Unexpectedly, he still behaved like this.

Although both were members of the Nine Generals of Xuanwu Gate, the only difference between Hou Junji and Yuchi Gong was that only one of them shot and killed Li Yuanji, but he was not afraid of the others.

Because he had more brains and his daughter married into the royal family and became the Crown Princess, Hou Junji's status was higher than Yuchi Gong's. But because of this, Yuchi Gong felt that Hou Junji relied on nepotism and squeezed out his position as the Right Guard General, which made him quite displeased.

Whenever we meet, we always have to say a few words to vent our anger.

Changsun Wuji, who was at the head of the group, saw the two men quarreling again, and gave a bitter smile, and said quickly: "Everyone knows that I am a civilian official, not good at the military. The next battle will depend on you generals, and I hope you can cooperate."

"Of course"

Yuchi Gong smiled contemptuously: "Master Changsun, you are the emperor's brother-in-law, and you have the imperial edict in your hand. You represent the emperor here. Who dares not to listen to you?"

At this point, Yuchi Gong stretched out his fist as big as a bowl, made a chicken eating rice gesture, and said casually: "Two hundred thousand troops, thirty thousand Flying Tiger Army, encircling and suppressing a small Turkic Right Sage King, this kind of rich battle is worth a thousand bucks."

"Even those who have never fought a war know how to fight. You can't lose no matter what. Just give the order boldly."

In Yuchi Gong's eyes, Changsun Wuji was not as good as Hou Junji. At least Hou Junji had fought in wars and trained the Flying Tiger Army, and he had some real achievements, while Changsun Wuji was just a pen-wielder and a cunning man.

Chunchun relied on the relationship with the Queen Mother to get to the top, which is even more nepotistic than Hou Junji. One gave away his sister, and the other gave away his daughter. Neither of them is a good thing?

Especially Zhangsun Wuji, who fought against the Right Wise King with only 20,000 men.

Having Hou Junji as a general was not enough, he even asked for permission to mobilize the Flying Tiger Army and mobilized a full 200,000 troops.

Faced with such a huge disparity in power, they did not dare to engage in a head-on battle. Instead, they asked Jie Li to drug the opponent's horse and cripple it, and then took a defensive stance. It was simply ridiculous. If this were to get out in the future,

If I participate in this battle, I will lose all my face.

Changsun Wuji's old face turned red and he laughed awkwardly, but a nameless anger arose in his heart.

This beast is so arrogant and domineering that he has ended up like this.

Knowing that you have a bad temper, I have been very careful in what I say. Even if you don't respond, just nod your head. There are thorns in your words. You are the emperor's brother-in-law and you have an army of 200,000. You are mocking myself for being a relative by marriage and being incompetent and timid.

Fortunately, Hou Junji was very considerate. Seeing that Changsun Wuji was a little embarrassed, he stood up, clasped his fists and replied respectfully: "Lord Changsun is the commander-in-chief. We all follow his orders and will never disobey."

"We must obey Lord Changsun's orders!" The other generals in the tent did not have Yuchi Gong's confidence and just followed his orders obediently.

Changsun Wuji felt a lot more comfortable instantly and nodded kindly to Hou Junji.

Seeing Hou Junji flattering Changsun Wuji, agreeing with him without principles, and secretly warning him, Yuchi Gong snorted in dissatisfaction, but did not argue anymore.

Zhang Sun Wuji said solemnly: "My army has already formed a siege. We have set up three lines of defense on all four sides, with caltrops and antlers, archers and spears, and three trenches two meters wide and one meter deep in the middle. It will be difficult for the Right Wise King's troops to cross even if they have wings."

"Only two 300-meter-wide escape gates were set up on the east and west sides. There were no trenches or caltrops, only antler barricades and spear arrays."

"The others are for defense, but these two are the only ones that the Flying Tigers can use to charge and kill the enemy. If the enemy wants to escape, they will definitely rush out from here."

After analyzing the battlefield situation and his own deployment, Changsun Wuji began to assign tasks: "I want to send two generals to lead the Flying Tiger Army, divide it into two parts, and guard the two gates."

"General Yuchi Jingde is extremely brave and has the courage of ten thousand men. He can lead 10,000 Flying Tigers to guard the west gate. General Hou is slightly weaker and can lead the remaining 20,000 Flying Tigers to guard the west gate. Do the two generals have any objections?"

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he looked at the two of them with a smile.

Tang Jian on the side smiled bitterly in his heart. Zhangsun Wuji was really a person who would not suffer any loss. He originally planned to distribute the 30,000 Flying Tiger Army on the ground, with 15,000 soldiers each. However, after being secretly ridiculed by Yuchi Gong, he immediately reduced his troops by 5,000 and distributed them to Hou Junji, who supported him.

Yuchi Jingde was a little annoyed when he heard this obviously unfair distribution plan, but he was encouraged by Changsun Wuji's words. He had just been so awesome, and if he were to fight for these five thousand people again, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

"Hmph, even if there are only 10,000 Flying Tigers, I will not let those Turkic bastards cross the line." Yuchi Gong stood up with a cold face, took the command arrow handed over by Changsun Wuji, and strode away without caring about the next arrangements.
