Chapter 624: Soldiers approaching the city(1/2)
Finally, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief. He pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind to transfer 100,000 troops to Persia first.
If it really doesn't work.
The people of the Indians threatened the Dashi Trading Company, and it was inevitable that Li Shimin would take charge of the battle again.
In Li Shimin's opinion, there should be nothing in the world that he cannot do.
But after all, I am old and no longer the same as before. The battle of Tianzhu may be the last battle in my life.
So what about the future?
From then on, if you can't ride a horse, who will defend this country?
When Li Shimin thought of this, he felt a little sad.
The next day, the ministry issued an order to order the Ministry of War to allocate troops into Persia.
The news finally gave the exchange some good news. The stock price, which had already plummeted, has stabilized a little.
But such benefits obviously cannot be withstood for too long.
After all, people's confidence has been lost.
The Tang Dynasty only had 100,000 soldiers and horses. Even if you have confidence, there were countless tens of thousands of people behind the cross!
It makes people scary when they sound.
There is probably only so much that the court can do.
Although the Chen family repeatedly made rumors, the Indians were not so scary. The Indians have always been very boastful, so don’t trust the Indians.
But in fact, the Chen family was also very upset because even they couldn't figure it out. The Indians could not know about the Tang Dynasty, but the Indians should have noticed the powerful combat power shown by the expansion of the Dashi Trading Company in Persia and other places!
In the face of such a strong strength, the Indian man not only showed any fear, but even turned his head and ran to scold the Tang court behind the Dashi Trading Company, and then brags about himself shamelessly that he is going to compete with the Tang Dynasty. No matter how you look at it, you can't understand what...
The market's concerns also come from this.
It’s not that anyone would think that Tianzhu was boasting, but the problem is that people are so confident. In the eyes of the Tang people who advocate subtlety and modesty, it is obvious that the other party has some confidence.
Based on this mentality, it is understandable that everyone has lost confidence in the market.
……………………
At this time, thousands of miles away, nine thousand soldiers were rushing all the way, and Wang Xuance issued an order that the troops would not stop, day and night.
This caused nine thousand people to complain.
However, as we go deep into the enemy's territory, it is difficult to turn back at this time.
The Indians obviously realized that a military horse had entered the country. Although they had not come back to their senses, for Wang Xuance, they could only move forward in one go, and there was no possibility of retreating.
You know, there are all the Indians on all sides at this time. If anyone falls out of the team, he will definitely die.
When everyone met a ruthless man like Wang Xuance, he was convinced. This was like pinning his head on his belt and fighting with others directly.
This is not the case when fighting in wars.
But although they complained, these Nibharu and Tubo people still admired Wang Xuance to a greater or lesser extent.
Although everyone thinks that this person knows that he is urging everyone forward, at least one is worthy of admiration. Wang Xuance is cruel enough, at least he wants to live!
Facing such a cruel person who is desperate, you can only follow him obediently.
At this time, the Tubo people and Nibharu people also realized that the endurance shown by these hundreds of security teams was much stronger than theirs.
It is not an exaggeration to say that these guys are like bulls. They have never complained about following Wang Xuance all the way.
Occasionally, they encountered an intercepted Tianzhu army horse. Wang Xuance gave the order and immediately launched an attack.
Although they carried short guns and firearms, in order to save ammunition, Wang Xuance issued an order that, if necessary, gunpowder should not be wasted.
Therefore, they rode on the horse, pulled out their swords and rushed up Hulala, and then slashed with passion.
The atmosphere is easily infectious. Seeing this, Nipola and Tubo people also doubled their courage and they all covered up their kills.
These people have extremely good physical strength, and even with cold weapons, their combat effectiveness is extremely amazing.
This is far from the Nibau soldiers and the Tubo people.
The Tubo people have begun to privately rumor that the security team was not officially organized by the Tang Dynasty, but more of them were just recruited militias, but such combat power still made them feel terrible.
The combat effectiveness of the Indians was not beyond the expectations of the Tubo and Nibharu people.
Their military discipline is often lax, and the generals often ride in sprints, that is, dozens of servants and soldiers show up carrying people similar to sedan chairs. Most of the soldiers on both sides are ragged and the weapons in their hands are varied. The so-called dispatch of troops is more like some kind of juggling.
So when the security team rushed, the military officers often began to be frightened and ordered people to carry the huge sedan chair and turn around and leave. The ragged soldiers also retreated one after another.
Even the Tianzhu people had very clear boundaries in the military.
No one cares about the soldiers at the bottom. The middle-level military officers seem to never have contact with the soldiers at the bottom. In other words, the contact is extremely limited. Even if they are hanging in these soldiers, they will insult their identities. If they are senior military officers, the alienation they show will be even more obvious.
Even the soldiers guarding senior military officers tried their best to stay away from them, and they might be negligent.
The Nibharats had some understanding of this, and knew that the superiority and inferiority of the Indians had reached an extremely harsh level.
They tried to explain to Wang Xuance, who said calmly: "This is no different from the Tang Dynasty. There are also aristocratic clans in the Tang Dynasty, and there are differences between scholars and common people."
After hearing Wang Xuance's words, Ni Poluo found that his popular science failed.
Your Wang Xuance is also from a noble family, but you can care for the soldiers below and eat and sleep with them.
This is unimaginable among the Indians.
If a senior military officer is trampled on by a low-ranking soldier, he will be regarded as unclean and an insult to his family.
You can't even step on the shadow...
Then how to fight?
Wang Xuance immediately realized that the vast majority of the soldiers were very obvious in the distinction between them and military officers, and they were like two species.
Moreover, the ordinary Indian soldiers were very weak in physical strength. Most of them were dark-skinned and their eyes were dull. Even if they were captured, if they were imprisoned with the military officer, they would never dare to approach the military officer five steps.
Apart from wearing fancy armor, the military officer showed great majesty, but he had almost no combat power. Later, Wang Xuance was too lazy to even capture prisoners.
So, continue to attack.
However, Wang Xuance was not completely brainless. He had been observing the Indian army and horses in secret. Through several battles, he had an intuitive understanding of the low combat power of the Indian people.
But he still dared not take it lightly.
Perhaps... this is not the elite of the Indians.
It was just a group of entourages and horses.
After slashing and slapping all the way, the eleventh day after, finally the Qunnu City was in sight.
I heard that this girl city has tall walls and is heavily guarded. In fact, this is what Wang Xuance is most worried about.
He is rushing to attack. Once the opponent is firm and clears the world, he can still consume himself to death even if he is exhausted.
It is impossible for him to attack with artillery, and with existing weapons, he cannot shake the city walls at all.
But when he arrived at the city of Qunu.
Something incredible happened.
Wang Xuance never dreamed that his luck was so good.
I originally thought that after several battles, the Indians would inevitably feel fear and fear of them.
At least, you always want to stick to it behind closed doors.
At least give me some face and a little awe.
However, the Indians obviously had no intention of giving them any face.
When he heard that the Tang army arrived, he immediately went to war.
The vast army of Tianzhu ran out from the city.
It looks like covering the sky and the sun.
Countless military horses, mixed with war horses and elephants, rushed out in one go.
A total of 70,000 to 80,000.
This attitude calmed Wang Xuance.
He even swept away his gloomy mood and couldn't help but sigh at his good luck!
I originally thought that... I had only 30% chance of winning at most when I attacked the city.
This is like a big gamble, but a real man should repay the king with great success by his death.
Not to mention a 30% chance of winning, even if it is 10%, you should sacrifice yourself to fight.
This is the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty at this time.
At this time, Wang Xuance, who was riding on the horse, rode his horse to the high ground and was observing the enemy situation from afar.
Just by looking at it, you will know that the opponent's troops are at least ten times more than you.
The huge elephant was in front of it, with a hundred heads, which really looked scary.
To be continued...
