Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Gai Suwen's 30 troops came rushing forward.

Li Shimin called Xue Rengui over.

"Old Chen and Chen Yuan went back to Youzhou City to make gunpowder. Now you know the Shenjiying best."

"This time you will command the Shenji Battalion."

Li Shimin said.

Since the establishment of Shenjiying, it has always been in Sujiazhuang.

Although Xue Rengui was not the commander of the Shenji Battalion, he watched them all day long and knew how to command them.

Xue Rengui bowed: "Your Majesty, although I'm with you in Sujiazhuang, I don't know how to shoot a gun."

"His Royal Highness Prince Jin has practiced sniping with the young master, so it is more suitable for him to command."

As the so-called one word awakens the dreamer.

Li Shimin suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "That's right, how did I forget the pheasant slave."

"Call the pheasant over here."

Xue Rengui immediately went to Li Zhi.

At this time, Li Zhi was debugging his sniper rifle.

"His Royal Highness, the emperor told you to come over."

Xue Rengui said.

Li Zhi stood up and asked, "What is Father looking for from me?"

Xue Rengui smiled and said: "It's a good thing, you will know when King Jin is gone."

Li Zhi immediately went up the city wall.

However, Li Shimin got down from the city wall and assembled the Shenji Battalion in the city.

Li Zhi went down the city wall with Xue Rengui and found Li Shimin.

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father."

Li Zhi paid homage.

Li Shimin said: "Pheasant slave, the battle is imminent, the two old Chen brothers have gone to Youzhou, and there is no one in charge of the Shenji Battalion."

"I ordered you to be the main general and command the Shenji Battalion."

Li Zhi was surprised and delighted.

He has never commanded an army, this is his first time leading an army.

The Shenji Battalion is now the most important and elite army of the Tang Dynasty. Although it is only temporarily commanded, these soldiers have fought with Li Zhi. If there is anything in the future, they will definitely stand by Li Zhi's side.

"My son obeys the order."

Li Zhi paid homage.

Such a good thing must be promised, and only a fool will refuse.

"Okay, go to the city wall to guard."

Li Shimin said.

Li Zhi asked: "Father, do you want Shenjiying to shoot at the city wall?"

What Li Shimin meant was that the Shenji Battalion played the role of the Strong Crossbow Battalion, shooting from a high position.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Is there anything wrong?"

Li Zhi said: "Father, my son thought that Gai Suwen dared to attack, and he probably knew that his brother-in-law was not there."

"The other thing is that he suspects that the Shenji Battalion will not be able to fight."

"My son thought we should line up outside the city. Although the Shenji Battalion didn't have much gunpowder, it was enough to repel several waves of attacks."

"At that time, we will take advantage of the situation to counterattack and defeat Gai Suwen in one wave."

"I think this is the best policy, and defending the city is the worst policy."

After Li Zhi finished speaking, Li Shimin was very surprised.

Indeed.

Gai Suwen is betting that Su Yu is not here, and that Shenji Camp has no gunpowder.

This is the one who dared to attack.

If Shenji Yingcheng goes down, first fight a wave of counterattacks, and then the infantry and cavalry will charge.

The Goguryeo army will surely retreat.

The deterrent effect of the Shenji Battalion is here, and the Goguryeo soldiers will definitely be defeated in one blow.

"King Jin's trick."

Xue Rengui agrees.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "My son has grown up."

"Okay, order the three armies to line up outside the city to meet the enemy."

Li Shimin was very happy, it was very correct to bring Li Zhi out to practice this time.

That boy Su Yu was really thoughtful.

It was Su Yu's idea to take Li Zhi to fight in Liaodong.

Li Shimin originally disagreed, thinking that Li Zhi's character was rather cowardly and inappropriate on the battlefield.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhi could not only fight, but also strategize.

Li Jing immediately commanded the infantry and cavalry to line up outside the city.

The shield blocked the Shenji camp, Xue Rengui led the cavalry on the left flank, and Yu Chigong led the infantry on the right flank.

Li Shimin was in the middle, protected by Chai Shao, Xu Shiji, and Cheng Yaojin.

Gai Suwen's army charged forward in a mighty manner.

More than 100 meters away, Gai Suwen patted his horse and Wen Kesha led the guards.

Li Shimin stepped forward, Xu Shiji followed, Xue Rengui also patted his horse and followed.

From a distance of more than ten meters, Li Shimin held a whip and said with a smile: "The defeated general dares to challenge."

Gai Suwen sneered and said, "Li Shimin, your son-in-law is not in Anshi City, what can you do to me?"

"I know that your Shenji Battalion is powerful, but they must have a problem now."

Li Shimin thought to himself: This guy is indeed old and cunning, he guessed that there was a problem in the Shenji camp.

What the pheasant slave said is correct, he must be made to think that the Shenji camp is fine.

Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to attack the city from time to time.

The troops that Datang brought over were limited, while Gai Suwen was fighting on the inside line and could replenish troops at any time.

There must be no war of attrition.

"That's right, my son-in-law has gone to Silla. He will lead the Silla army and attack from south to north to take down your capital, Pingcheng."

Li Shimin laughed.

Gai Suwen was startled and had nothing to say for a while.

When he knew that Su Yu had left Anshi City, Gai Suwen was both happy and worried.

The happy thing is that Su Yu is not in Anshi City, so he can take the opportunity to take back the city.

The worry is that if Su Yu leads the Silla army into Goguryeo, it will be troublesome.

Su Yu is known as the God of War in the Tang Dynasty, and he definitely has this strength.

It was precisely because of this worry that Gai Suwen went all out to attack Anshi City.

Only by defeating Li Shimin can the soldiers and horses of Liaodong City be brought back to the south to fight Su Yu decisively.

"Hmph, do you think it's that easy to take down Pingcheng?"

"I will take back Anshi City first, and then I will send troops south to destroy your Great Tang God of War."

Gai Suwen snorted coldly.

Li Shimin laughed and said, "You win me first, then I'll talk."

Both sides flattered their horses and went back to prepare to fight.

Xue Rengui returned to the front of the cavalry to prepare.

Gai Suwen returned to the front of the formation, Wen Kesha said: "Lord Mo Zhili, it seems something is wrong."

"Behind the shield soldiers is the Shenji Battalion. If they can fight, we will be the target if we rush over."

Wen Kesha was staring confidently at the shield soldier just now, and saw the black muzzle of the gun through the gap.

It was the same arrangement last time, and it's the same this time.

Gai Suwen didn't believe it, and said: "This is Li Shimin's bluff, don't pay attention to him."

"I'm sure there's something wrong with the Shenji Battalion, so let's charge."

"Li Shimin is right. Su Yu brought the special envoy of Silla to the south, and might attack from south to north."

"We'll be in trouble then."

As Su Yu went south, Gai Suwen felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

Wen Kesha nodded and said: "That's right, if Su Yu leads Silla to attack, we don't have elite soldiers to use in the south."

"I'm afraid that Pingcheng will be killed"

Gai Suwen frowned and said: "Don't think about it, take back Anshi City, and then send troops to Silla."

Holding the golden knife, Gai Suwen turned around and shouted: "Warriors, without Su Yu, the Shenji Camp is useless."

"Come with me, kill Tang Jun, and take back Anshi City."

The soldiers behind him let out a few perfunctory shouts, showing no fighting spirit at all.

Gai Suwen was furious in his heart, wishing he could kill these trash.

"kill!"

Gai Suwen took the lead and rushed up first.

Wen Kesha saw that Gai Suwen rushed forward, so he had no reason not to go.

The same was true for the soldiers behind them. Seeing that Gai Suwen had really charged, they followed suit.

All of a sudden, 30 soldiers and horses rushed over.
