Lord of the people online game

"Who is this?"

A brave military general saw Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling entering the camp and stopped them. This man was wearing heavy armor and was in his sixties, but he was high-spirited and had a loud voice. It was obvious that he was a fierce general who charged into battle when he was young.

When Li Shimin's cavalry saw the old general, they were in awe and said: "This man is the alien lord Chu Zimou, and your Majesty has agreed to receive him."

"The two weak little guys... go in."

The old general glanced at Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling and disdained their force.

It is estimated that if Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling join forces, they will be defeated by Li Shimin, and there is no threat to Li Shimin at all.

Chu Tian was curious about this person's identity and secretly checked the old general's introduction.

Most of the old generals who could appear under Li Shimin were important figures at the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

【Name】: Yuchi Jingde

[Level]: Level 100

[Description]: A fierce general in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Duke of E in the Tang Dynasty, the seventh in Lingyan Pavilion, and one of the two gate gods of Chinese civilization along with Qin Qiong.

Yuchi Jingde...

Chu Tian was secretly surprised in his heart, what a fierce general in the Sui and Tang Dynasties!

In the past, there were two door gods posted on the wooden door of my hometown. One was Qin Qiong and the other was Yuchi Jingde.

He and Qin Qiong are one of the commanders of the Xuanjia Cavalry under Li Shimin!

However, the former warriors are also getting old.

This battle of Anshi City may be the final glory of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin's personal expedition.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, sat at the head of the camp. The emperor's pressure made Chu Tian feel a huge sense of oppression.

At this time, Li Shimin was nearly fifty years old and his face already had wrinkles, but he still personally commanded the army to regain Liaodong.

Excluding the internal affairs of the imperial family, in terms of the ability to personally lead troops to conquer the world, I am afraid that not many emperors can match it. So after Li Shimin came to power, he did not deliberately eliminate the former generals because no one had higher military merits than His Majesty the Emperor.

Beside Li Shimin, there was also Li Shiji who served as general and military advisor.

Li Shiji was also a fierce man. He defeated the Sui generals Zhang Xutuo, Wang Shichong, and Yu Wenji for the Wagang Army, and followed Li Shimin in the southern and northern campaigns.

However, Li Shiji suffered heavy losses at the hands of Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou, and he was probably the third most powerful soldier after Li Jing and Li Shimin in the early Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Li Shiji was also known as Li Ji to avoid Li Shimin's taboo.

Li Shiji was already in his fifties and his ability had declined somewhat.

The two military commanders of the Tang Dynasty were both at the main camp, which shows the great pressure on Chutian.

Unfortunately, Qin Qiong had died of illness at this time, Cheng Zhijie stayed behind in Chang'an, and the military god Li Jing was over seventy years old and could not come.

The first batch of fierce men in the Tang Dynasty, from kings to generals, were all old.

No wonder Li Shimin got the young Xue Rengui and met Long Yan Dayue, but he always wanted to leave a group of young generals for his son.

"The alien lord sent you here, could it be that you are here to instruct me on how to march and fight? I have been on the battlefield for more than twenty years, and I still ask you to tell me what to do?"

Li Shimin looked at Chu Tian and the somewhat familiar Fang Xuanling.

Although the young "Fang Xuanling" was no longer in his mind, they got along very well and had some intimacy.

Chu Tian was not afraid of Li Shimin abducting his subordinates, because Li Shimin was only the commander of the camp during the national war.

Chu Tian showed some humility in front of Tang Zong: "The suggestions of the ministers are only for your Majesty's reference. This battle is related to the prestige of our great country, and is also related to your Majesty's prestige. It is early cold in Liaodong, if it cannot be held in September

If we capture Anshi City beforehand, we will inevitably retreat. Every time I think about this, I can't sleep at night and feel restless."

Li Shimin raised his hand, and a military general handed Li Shimin the memorial on which the lords had formulated their tactics.

Li Shimin briefly read the contents of the memorial: "It's okay. To supervise the construction of Tushan, I ordered Jiangxia King Li Daozong to work with your alien lord Lao Qin. As for the matter of facing the Goguryeo reinforcements, I have my own decision."

"yes."

Chu Tian didn't dare to look up at Li Shimin. He was the most powerful monarch in the Tang Dynasty. There were also other generals from the Tang Dynasty around him, none of whom were famous.

Except for the sick and elderly and the generals guarding Chang'an, most of the people from the early Tang Dynasty gathered together.

Li Shimin handed over the siege of Anshi City to Li Daozong, probably because he wanted to personally encircle it and provide reinforcements.

Li Shimin asked about the lord's strength again, and Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling answered fluently.

Because this was just a national war, and Li Shimin was only a temporary superior, Chu Tian was not too afraid. Li Shimin would not deal with him unless it disturbed the morale of the army.

Li Shimin was slightly surprised: "It is rare for someone to be calm and composed in front of me. If you have made great achievements, I can reward you with a fine Turkic horse."

"I will definitely serve the Tang Dynasty and fight the enemy bravely."

Chu Tian heard that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty promised that the war horse that even Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty admired must not be ordinary.

Chu Tian walked out of Li Shimin's camp. A group of lords were already waiting outside: "How is it? Has Li Shimin been convinced?"

"If he accepted it all so easily, he wouldn't be Tang Taizong. I guess he also has his own ideas. But at least, we have conveyed two important messages to him. First, Goguryeo knows the tactics he planned. Second,

We must start building mountains of earth to attack the city now, otherwise it will be too late by September."

"We can only choose to believe Li Shimin."

Facing Tang Taizong, the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty had no other choice but to lobby. Who dared to tell Li Shimin how to fight?

When Chu Tian returned to his camp, Hua Mulan held a spear taller than her height in both hands. It was equivalent to an extended spear. The sharp blade was half a meter long.

If she stabbed him with a horse spear, Chu Tian might... no, he would definitely die.

"This weapon should be the equipment of the Tang Army's heavy cavalry. As long as the stirrup is used when charging, the horse can easily pierce the opponent's armor. Even if it cannot pierce, such a terrifying impact is enough to break the bones of the opponent's cavalry.

All in all, if you get stabbed, you will definitely die."

An idea came to Chu Tian's mind. If he had money in the future, he would learn from Li Shimin and form the Black Armor Cavalry, and then form the Imperial Guards such as the Yulin Army and the Longwu Army.

A heavy cavalry was the trump card in decisive battles in the era of cold weapons.

Once the heavy cavalry launches a charge on the battlefield, it often means that the battle is about to end and the victorious side will emerge.

Hua Mulan can barely serve as the commander of the heavy cavalry unit, or the captain of the personal guard...

In short, this kind of horse spear, which has the same purpose as the medieval knight's lance, is not used by ordinary soldiers, but by heavy cavalry.

Only Hua Mulan and other military commanders with higher strength can wield their horseshoes without taking it seriously.

On the second day of the National War, there was still no movement from the Tang army, and the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty were a little anxious.

On the third day, Li Daozong, King of Jiangxia of the Tang Dynasty, led 100,000 Tang troops, summoned the lords of the Eastern Han District, and asked the lords of the Eastern Han District to send out five legions to help the Tang army pile up mountains of earth!

There are four earth mountains, located in the southeast, due south, southwest and due west directions of Anshi City!

Li Shimin was probably moved by the suggestions of the player lords, and began to take Anshi City seriously, and began to prepare for the siege in June.

In addition, Li Shimin ordered Li Ji to lead a Tang army south to provoke the Goguryeo reinforcements on the opposite side, and ordered the Eastern Han lords to send two legions to assist.

Chutian's Second Army and Mingguan's Third Army followed Li Ji south to provoke the Goguryeo reinforcements. There were a total of 100,000 Tang troops and 50,000 Han troops.

The 150,000-strong coalition army marched south into the canyon, covering the sky with flags.

Groups of elite Tang Army soldiers and cavalry marched along the river.

At the front is a group of Tang Dynasty heavy cavalry wearing Mingguang armor, holding horse chariots and carrying Tang swords at their waists.

In contrast, the formations of the Second Army and the Third Army in the Eastern Han District were somewhat scattered. After all, they were improvised soldiers and horses.

Chu Tian could only maintain the formation as much as possible, dividing the second army into three armies of infantry, bows and cavalry, and followed the Tang army behind.

Hua Mulan really went into battle with a four-meter-long horse, which is eye-catching.

No lord in the Eastern Han Dynasty has made such a weapon. The only way to obtain it currently is to use military merit to exchange it with the Tang Army's quartermaster. There are only a handful of lords with military merit, and few are willing to spend military merit to exchange for a horse like Chu Tian. Give it to your subordinates.

"Tang Army, Tang Army appeared in the northern canyon, less than ten miles away from our forward!"

The news of the Tang army's dispatch alarmed Goguryeo's million-strong army. Jiang Pang of the Quanzhou Army wiped the sweat from his bloated cheeks.

The army of Tian Khan is coming!

All the Goryeo lords prepared their armies for war and were very nervous.

Hundreds of Goryeo scout cavalry left the camp, always on guard against the movements of the Tang army.

"The Tang army is approaching us!"

"Damn it, are they planning to kill them directly?"

The Goryeo lords didn't take it seriously before the war started. When the Tang army pressed on, they finally felt unprecedented pressure.

The Tang army's forward was less than two miles away from the Korean forward!

The cavalry scouts on both sides had a small-scale battle, and each suffered losses, but one Tang cavalry could kill several Goguryeo cavalry.

They didn't stop until the forwards of both sides saw each other's flags.

"The army of Goguryeo is really huge. They devoted all the strength of the whole country to come. They know that if Anshi City is captured, the country will be destroyed. But who in the world can stop our Tang army?"

A 50-year-old veteran pointed his riding crop at the Goguryeo army opposite, but showed no fear at all and regarded them as if they were dolphins.

"I heard that the pioneer of the Tang army was the veteran Zhang Shigui, Duke of Guo Guo of the Tang Dynasty. He had followed Li Shimin through life and death many times."

Prince Yan, the lord of western Liaoning, rode with Chu Tian, ​​and he was accompanied by Di Qing, a fierce general of the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Is there Xue Rengui in Zhang Shigui's army?"

"Theoretically, there is...he may not be willing to be loyal to the lord."

"That's right. If there is Emperor Taizong Li Shimin on one side and us on the other, he will definitely choose Li Shimin."

"Where did you get your general's horse?"

Prince Yan felt chilled when he saw the horse in Hua Mulan's hand. This weapon of the Tang army was astonishingly powerful.

"The gold-level weapon cost me 1,000 military merits."

"You...are really willing to give it up, but it seems to be a good deal to give it to Hua Mulan."

Prince Yan was shocked by Chu Tian's generosity, and seemed a little distressed to ask him to exchange 1,000 military merits for a weapon that his subordinates liked.

The red dragon flag was fluttering, echoing the flag of the Tang army in front.

Li Ji's 100,000 Tang troops camped on the mountain as a counterweight to Goguryeo's million reinforcements.

To challenge a million Goguryeo army with 100,000 Tang troops, probably only the Tang army, which was invincible in the world at this time, dared to do so.

Chu Tian led his troops and built a simple camp based on Xiling.

The Tang army was located on the west side of the canyon, and the Goguryeo army was located on the east side of the canyon, separated by a river.

The Tang army built a pontoon bridge on the upper reaches of the river so that it could attack the Goguryeo army at any time.

The Goguryeo army was tit for tat, setting up pontoon bridges downstream of the river and attacking the Tang army at any time.

The two sides were at war with each other.

The number of Goguryeo troops was fifteen times that of the Tang army, and they were so vast that their camps stretched for dozens of miles.

Fortunately, the area of ​​the canyon has been expanded to ten times, otherwise the Goguryeo army might have stretched for hundreds of miles.

However, even though it was fifteen times larger than the Tang army, the Goguryeo reinforcements did not dare to move.

The winner may be decided in one battle, and both sides spend more time testing each other.

"Goguryeo's million-strong army must be extremely difficult to supply food. I judge that they will go to war soon."

Chu Tian led the generals to the river to observe the Goguryeo army on the opposite side.

The Goguryeo army's camps were densely packed and garrisoned on Dongling Mountain.

Because it is close to the river, neither side has trouble with water sources. The troublesome thing is transporting food.

"A Tang Army squad has already arrived on the other side. Is this a provocation?"

One of the lords exclaimed, and Chu Tian looked to the other side. Sure enough, a group of cavalry crossed the river through the pontoon bridge built by Tang army craftsmen, and reached the other side to provoke the opponent.

There are only about two thousand people in this cavalry.

Seeing Tang Jun's behavior, the lord Prince Wen kept shaking his head: "Two thousand people must be crazy to provoke the opponent's million-strong army."

"The Tang army went to provoke them all with light cavalry. In such terrain, Goguryeo could not deploy an army of one million. Not to mention one million, even one hundred thousand troops could not deploy."

Chutian initially has the ability to judge terrain.

He has never eaten pork, but he has always seen pigs running away. Chutian experienced more and more battles, and gradually mastered some knowledge about marching and fighting.

On the opposite side, two thousand Tang army cavalry showed off their power and approached the Goguryeo army's camp to shoot arrows in provocation.

Goguryeo was angry at the slighting of the Tang army, and a troop of Goguryeo cavalry rushed out, with a force of 10,000 people.

"idiot!"

When the Goguryeo lord Cui Zaishan learned that the Goguryeo army was dispatched, he could only curse.

The two commanders of the Goguryeo army don't really listen to the player lord.

In a sense, Li Shimin's IQ can crush Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, the commanders of the Goguryeo army.

Li Shimin may be able to listen to the advice of the Eastern Han lords, but the two commanders Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen may not.

Ten thousand Goguryeo cavalry rushed out, and two thousand Tang Dynasty cavalry trotted, turning back and shooting arrows from time to time to continue to anger the opponent.

"kill!"

The Goguryeo cavalry also fired arrows at the same time and were gradually led to the north by the Tang army.

Tang Jun underestimated them too much, the ratio was five to one!

"The Tang army began to counterattack."

Chutian and the others followed the Tang army and were absolutely safe on the other side of the river. They saw two thousand Tang soldiers holding spears, turning their horses' heads, and charging into the Goguryeo cavalry that was five times their size!
