The strongest son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty

"Send an order to Xue Li and Dian Wei to entangle Gaoguli's [-] soldiers and horses, and not let them escape easily."

Doo Ho said.

"As ordered!"

The orderly left.

Du He had to wait for reinforcements from Jizhou led by Qin Li and Yuchi Baolin.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to eat [-] Gaoguli soldiers and horses with this few soldiers and horses in hand.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if you eat it, the casualties will be huge.

If it doesn't work out, it will end up with two defeats and fear of injury.

That was not the result Du He wanted.

……

Let's talk about the Jizhou soldiers and horses taken over by Qin Li and Yuchi Baolin.

The two came up with various methods to train [-] infantry.

During the march, heavy equipment was carried out, and the whole body carried more than 60 kilograms of packages, which made the soldiers sweaty and panting.

Soldiers who fell behind were immediately caught up with whips.

Devil!

too tired!

The two demons showed no mercy.

Let those two demons have a son without a fart/eye.

Fuck it!

Brother, stop barking, it's useless.

Besides, joining the Du family army, the food is really good!

There must be one meal of meat a day. It is estimated that the entire imperial army will not be able to find such a standard of food.

Really can't find it.

Even for the soldiers of the Imperial Guard in Li's second hand, eating meat once a week is not bad.

Du He's soldiers are basically once a day.

there's no way!

Serving as a soldier under Du He is too hard!

The daily training volume is several times that of other armies.

There is morning exercise in the morning, morning training starts after breakfast, an hour lunch break, and then afternoon training.

After dinner, it is literacy and reading again.

At the end of the day, soldiers have no leisure time.

Besides, after training all day, I don't have the energy to fight anymore.

Sleep like a dead dog.

The [-] soldiers and horses in Jizhou, led by Qin Li and Yuchi Baolin, marched heavily and chased the cavalry desperately.

Over the past few days, more and more soldiers have adapted to this high-intensity training, making progress day by day.

The two of them saw it in their hearts and were happy on their faces.

Some methods of training soldiers were learned from Du He.

Chapter 189 Arrive at the battlefield

Koguryo Palace:

Rongliu Wang Gao Jianwu was drinking with his concubine for fun at this time.

When Gao Jianwu came to power, he basically came to power in the same year as Li Yuan in the Tang Dynasty.

King Rongliu was ambitious, but he never had a chance to make a move.

At the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Luo Yi, the king of Yan, a powerful figure in Youzhou, was sitting in the battle, which made Gao Jianwu dare not move.

This time, it was not easy to encounter the confrontation between the Western Turks and the Tang Empire, and a big war was about to break out.

All the troops of the Tang Empire were sent to the west, and Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Shandong and other places were empty and there were not many soldiers.

Gao Jianwu felt that the opportunity had come, and sent troops to invade Youzhou, trying to tear a piece of flesh from the Tang Empire.

The idea is beautiful, the reality is very skinny.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! An urgent message from General Likerry."

A eunuch ran into the palace and shouted.

Gao Jianwu lifted the concubine from his body and quickly got up.

Received the letter from the eunuch.

What!

Reinforcements from the Tang Empire have arrived in Youzhou!

How could it be so fast!

Didn't it mean that Chang'an is empty, and there are no soldiers and horses?

All of a sudden, the ambitious Gao Jianwu knew in his heart that if he did not withdraw his troops quickly, the Tang Empire would be angered.

The front and the Tang Empire can't resist, they can only stick to the pass.

Immediately, Gao Jianwu called a meeting of his courtiers to study countermeasures.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Hurry up and send envoys, bring tribute, and bring more gold and silver treasures to Chang'an City for bribes.

Get through the relationship.I hope the emperor of the Tang Empire can forgive, otherwise, once the war between the Tang Empire and the Western Turks is over, we will suffer. "

A minister said.

"Your Majesty, not only must you send envoys, but you must also ask General Li Kairui to retreat immediately and not stay in Youzhou."

Another minister said.

Pure bullshit.

"It takes half a month to go back and forth, and more than [-] troops/armies are in danger. Once the Tang Emperor's army catches them,

The possibility of escape is extremely small.Now it is time to consider how to appease the anger of the Tang Empire.It must be too late to send envoys again.

Immediately notify the people in Chang'an to beg the emperor of the Tang Empire for mercy.And, there must be a reason.

It cannot be said that the king agreed to send troops, but it must be said that the military sent troops privately to find a scapegoat. "

A senior official said.

"Your Majesty, it's not right to let the military take the blame. It will lower morale. Once the Tang Emperor's army comes, who will resist?"

A military minister asked angrily.

"Now it's not a matter of morale, but how to appease the anger of the emperor of the Tang Empire. If there is no reason, how can the Tang Emperor's army come to resist?"

Another civil servant said.

Gao Jianwu has a big head!

"Your Majesty, not only to appease the anger of the Emperor of the Tang Empire, but also to make various preparations for the war.

Once the emperor of the Tang Empire does not compromise, how should we deal with it.Don't forget, the ending of the Turkic Khan King Jieli Khan. "

Another general spoke up.

At this moment, King Rongliu felt fear in his heart.

He was ambitious when he sent troops, thinking that he could take advantage of it.

Anxious!

Gao Jianwu is really anxious!

snort!

"A group of cowards. What's so scary about the Tang Emperor's army? We launched a war order and were able to gather 20 troops in a short period of time.

It's okay for the Tang Emperor's army to attack, and let them come and go. "

A general said forcefully.

"My lord, since we have judged that Chang'an's troops are empty, the reinforcements around Youzhou will not be able to arrive at once.

That means that the Tang Emperor's army will not have many reinforcements, and it is impossible to wipe out more than [-] soldiers under Li Kairui in a short period of time.

We must send troops and horses to reinforce immediately.It is best to send iron cavalry, so that they can arrive at the battlefield in seven days.

We have to save those [-] soldiers and horses, which are the foundation of the country. "

Another general suggested.

Noisy!

There was a whole day of quarreling in the palace of Gaoguli, and the civil officials demanded to calm down the anger of the Tang Empire and focus on peace.

The military officer was blindly strong and resolutely resisted the Tang Emperor's army.

Gao Jianwu had a big head, and suddenly he couldn't make up his mind.

This delay is a whole day.

After King Rongliu entered the inner palace, he thought about it all night before making a decision.

Inform the people in Chang'an City to immediately intercede with the emperor of the Tang Empire, and bribe the courtiers of the Tang Empire on a large scale, so that Li Er's subordinates can intercede with the people of Gaogouli.

At the same time, a delegation of envoys was sent to plead guilty to Li Er in the city of Chang'an.

In the end, [-] Koguryo cavalry were sent to reinforce Li Kairui's [-] soldiers and horses, hoping to rescue them.

……

What about Duho?

Bringing 5000 soldiers and horses from Youzhou, plus [-] cavalry under the banner, slowly headed for the decisive battle.

The march along the way was not fast, so that the Jizhou infantry could catch up.

On the other hand, the [-] infantry drawn from Youzhou needed time to train.

After all, the county soldiers can at most act as logistics soldiers and city defenders, and they are really weak in frontal combat.

Without intensive training, there will be heavy casualties.

Du He wouldn't do that kind of loss-making business.

To achieve maximum results with minimum casualties is the purpose of Du He's battle.

The last time we fought against Tubo iron cavalry, if we had a little more troops, the casualties would not be so great.

A few days later, Du He rode to the battlefield and joined the cavalry of Dian Wei and Xue Li.

"Master, Liaoxi City has been saved."

Dian Wei Road.

"Old Dian, well done!"

"I have seen the young master!"

Xue Li saluted.

Ha ha!

"Rengui, thank you for your hard work! Chang'an can't spare soldiers and horses for reinforcements, leaving you without soldiers, it's really difficult for you."

Du He said affectionately.

"Master, it's not the main thing. The key is that I can't mobilize Youzhou soldiers and horses. Those civil officials and generals are skeptical."
