Datang: Valkyrie chat group

In his life, he had never hated anyone that much, but for... Tang Feng, the new military upstart of the Tang Kingdom, he really hated him to the bone.

It was this young Tang man who repeatedly foiled his plans to invade the south. His concubine and children were all captured by him, and now he is being imprisoned in Chang'an.

However, in one year, the number of Turkic people who died directly and indirectly at the hands of the Tang people probably exceeded [-].

Is there... a possibility! The commander of the Tang army's Northern Expedition this time is this ruthless Tang Ding Beihou.

Such a thought appeared in Jili Khan's mind.

However, it was quickly rejected by him.

In such an important battle, how could the king of Tang choose this lunatic who dared to gamble with the lives of more than [-] Tang troops?

Chapter 539: Suspicion

That's a lunatic, yes, a lunatic even crazier than himself.

Moreover, the madman's luck seems to have been good all the time.

He took the slant several times and used the lives of himself and the soldiers under his command to gamble, but unfortunately, he won all the bets.

It is precisely because of these crazy gambling that this young Tang man who was born in the countryside quickly became a new nobleman of the Tang Dynasty and a successful feudal lord from a commoner.

Ji Li Khan is not worried about Li Jing, because as Li Jing grows older, he will always focus on prudence in the formation of troops.

What he was worried about was just... the lunatic in his heart.

Because this lunatic never acted according to common sense, compared to Li Jing when he was young, he was even worse.

Facing this kind of lunatic who uses everything in war, you will never guess what he will do next, and what he wants to do. On the battlefield, you will always be led by the nose by him, and, at any time They have to face his crazy gambling, and have to bet against him.

"Currently, how many cavalry can the Tang State mobilize at most..."

Ji Li Khan turned his head to look at the great wizard, and asked.

The great wizard looked up at the sky, counting with his fingers.

"The total number of cavalry that can be mobilized in the whole country of Tang is about 15. However, these cavalry are scattered in the four directions of Tang. In a short period of time, the total number of cavalry that can be mobilized from the north will not exceed [-]."

After a while, the great wizard lowered his head and replied in the affirmative.

Hearing what the great wizard said, Jiri Khan nodded noncommittally.

No more than [-]! If this time, Tang Guo really intends to use cavalry to launch a decisive battle on the grassland, do they really have the confidence to go deep into the grassland with [-] or [-] cavalry! Could it be that they are not afraid , Was this precious cavalry unit eaten by myself?

Thinking of this, Ji Li Khan raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a playful smile.

"If the people of Tang want to gamble again, then this time, I will just gamble with them again. You know, this is not the Tang Kingdom, but the grassland."

That gloomy voice, with a bit of confidence, resounded in this wide field.

The vast grassland.

Galloping thousands of miles.

Tang Feng still led the army to run, but it was much slower than before.

The war between scouts is still going on.

It's just that on the western front, in just two or three days, our own scouts had reached 600 people. On the other hand, the Turkic scouts on the opposite side had more casualties, more than 600 people.

This is not a dog in a brainless novel. Even though Tang Feng, the traverser, has the aura of the protagonist, it is impossible for these scouts under his command to become powerful existences one by one in an instant.

In the competition on the grassland, the Han people on horseback have no inherent advantages.

At the price of 600 people, 600 can be exchanged for thousands of Turkic people.

This is already a perfect achievement beyond imagination.

You know, even Tang cavalry equipped with the most sophisticated weapons and armor, when fighting with Turkic elite cavalry, can barely do one for one. veteran.

Datang at this time is far from reaching the highest point in history.

It has only been 20 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Although there is such a peaceful and prosperous age and this powerful force, the force value of the Tang army has a plateau, but it has not yet reached its peak.

In history, the most powerful period of the Tang army was not in the Zhenguan era, but in the successor, which belonged to the era of Gaozong.

More precisely, it was during the Zhou Wu period.

During the Zhou Wu period, the Tang army suppressed the Quartet, and Tang Dao went where it was directed. No one dared not to follow. Those who attacked the Quartet surrendered. Those foreign races were angry in their hearts, but they dared not say it.

The veterans of the Tang army at that time dared to fight any enemy, and they were able to win easily.

And the Tang army in this period, the most well-equipped old

Soldiers, they can barely compete with the Turkic elite.

Tang Feng was riding on a war horse, his handsome face was now covered with a beard.

In addition, he hasn't showered for many days, so he looks somewhat sloppy at this moment, a sloppy uncle.

Of course, not only him, but also the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army who followed him, were like this.

It has been more than half a month since I left Chang'an, marching at high speed, coupled with wind, food, and camping, this man will always become sloppy very quickly, and his beard will grow faster.

"Commander, the Yinshan King's Court still has no intention of dividing up the troops. With our current strength, if we rashly attack the Yinshan King's Court, I'm afraid there will be little chance of winning."

Huo Chengxian, the general of the right guard, rode up to catch up, and said in a tactful way.

Tang Feng turned his head and looked at this... General Youwei who is said to be the descendant of former Han Da Sima Huo Guang, but he didn't immediately.

say what.

He knew that the generals below were against his decision.

After all, the cavalry under his command were all temporarily drawn from the guards, except for the cavalry of the left guard, who followed him out of Datong to help Deyang, and would faithfully obey his orders. The generals of the other guards, Apparently, some are not too impressed with him as a young commander.

...... Fortunately, Datang's military regulations are strict, even if these generals contradict their orders, they dare not openly oppose , not to dare to slack off.

This is the Great Tang. If in other dynasties, this improvised army, if the commander is not the kind...with absolute prestige, his orders cannot be issued at all, only those... Lin Li on the top of the mountain, let the commander's order, only stay in the commander's tent.

"Don't worry, this commander will not use the wealth and lives of the soldiers to win my future, and take ten thousand steps back and say that even if this battle is completely won, those in the court... Veteran, I am afraid that you will not agree to your Majesty's promotion to my official position and my title of title."

After a moment of silence, Tang Feng said lightly.

This Northern Expedition, as the coach, he himself is thankless.

Except for........ Tang Wang promised to seal the wolf and live in Xu, he probably won't get any benefits.

Hearing Tang Feng's words, Huo Chengxian and the other generals fell silent.

They are not the kind of people who have no brains. They naturally know that this Northern Expedition is really of no benefit to this... young military lord. The position of the commander of the Northern Expedition is very important to others Glory, to this...young military lord, it's a tasteless job, a hard job.

Chapter 540: Suspicion

So, there is absolutely no need for Tang Feng... to sacrifice the lives of their soldiers in exchange for this possible victory.

If he wins, everything will be fine, and he himself will not get any real benefits.

His age is flawed, as far as he is concerned, no matter...

Neither His Majesty nor the courtiers will watch him increase his rank, especially the courtiers will not allow his official position and title to go further.

The court needs balance.

The appearance of Tang Feng will almost break the current balance of the court.

If Tang Feng goes further, then the stable balance of the Great Tang Dynasty will inevitably be broken, and this, I believe, is something that no veteran official would want to see.

But if he is defeated, as the commander in chief, he must bear the direct responsibility for the defeat.

This time the Northern Expedition, draw ""

They are the most elite cavalrymen in the Tang Dynasty. If this battle will wipe out all the... elites, even if Tang Feng won His Majesty's favor, after returning, he will categorically I can't explain it either, when the time comes, those...... important ministers in the court will definitely question him, even His Majesty can't keep him.

Judging from these two points, their... young coach must be more cautious when making a choice.

Thinking of this, the hearts of Huo Chengxian and the others felt...a lot more at ease.

However, they still couldn't understand how they could defeat the nearly [-] Turkic cavalry of the Yinshan royal court with their current strength.

The disparity in the strength of the two sides, doomed this war from the very beginning, there is not much chance of winning.

"These days, the soldiers have doubts in their hearts. I just want to ask the commander on behalf of the soldiers, how did you plan to attack the Yinshan royal court directly with our troops of less than [-]?"

Huo Chengxian looked at Tang Feng, and couldn't help asking again.

Although it is said that the army is outside, everything must be arranged by the commander.

Once the commander's order is issued, they must obey it.

However, when the situation is bright, knowing the difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves, as a subordinate, you have to consider the subordinates, and even more overall, it is reasonable to raise your own questions to the commander.

After listening to Huo Chengxian's question, Tang Feng smiled noncommittally, and was not displeased because of the other party's question about him.

In his opinion, he can be regarded as a qualified general only when he considers for the general, his subordinates, and the overall situation.

If these generals blindly obey their own orders and don't think about their own orders at all, then it can only show that these generals are ignorant people, and such generals are doomed to not have any great achievements in the future .

"Actually, the [-] Turkic cavalry in the Royal Court of Yinshan are just... paper tigers, at least, in my opinion."

The corners of Tang Feng's mouth twitched slightly, and he said lightly.

After hearing Tang Feng's understatement, the several Tang generals all looked at each other in blank dismay.

The Great Tang and the Eastern Turks have been fighting for ten years, and the details of each other have been cleared up again.

The two sides have been fighting on the border for many years, and even at one point, the Eastern Turks had an advantage in the situation, pressing against the Northern Army of the Tang Dynasty.

East Turkistan is not only...not weak, but also.

Even from last year to now, because of this...young coach, Turkic has suffered a series of disastrous defeats and lost more than [-] elites, but if you dare to underestimate the Eastern Turkic people, then you will suffer a very miserable defeat.

There are nearly [-] Turkic cavalry in the royal court of Yinshan. Of course, there are many old, weak, sick and disabled, but there are still more than [-] elites.

These [-] elites alone are a terrifying force on this grassland.

But now, the young commander said...the [-] Turkic cavalry are paper tigers, which made them speechless.

To be honest, in this Great Tang, the person who is most qualified to say such a thing is this... young commander.

From the first time he participated in the Battle of Tangtu to the present, he died directly and indirectly at his hands

There are more than 15 Turkic people inside, and more than [-] elite fighters among them.

If there is anyone the Turkic people hate the most, it must be their Tang Dingbeihou.

But even so, the [-] cavalry of the Yinshan royal court should not be underestimated.

Relying on their cavalry of only [-], they can't see any chance of winning if they attack the Yinshan King's Court stationed by [-] cavalry... "I have prepared some gifts for the Turks. They were pleasantly surprised."

Tang Feng smiled playfully.

During these two days, Qi Jiguang successively delivered the next fifty cans of gunpowder.

And these one hundred cans of gunpowder were all packaged and made into hundreds of large and small gunpowder bags.

Each of these... gunpowder bags has a fire rope buried inside each one. At that time, as long as they are ignited and thrown into the Turkic camp, or the Turkic army, unexpected results will surely be achieved .

Here, I have to praise the craftsmen of Ming Dynasty.

There are no good benefits, but it can produce that amount of gunpowder.

Of course, it has to be said that Daming's firearms are very good.

It is said that Sun Chengzong deployed thousands of box cars in Liaodong, and thousands of large firearms of various types, most of which were large cannons, and the gunpowder used was an astronomical figure.

These one hundred cans of gunpowder are probably less than [-]%% of the total gunpowder output of the craftsmen in Nanjing.

And if it is in the era of Tang Dynasty, if there is no support from outside time and space, and only rely on the craftsmen of this era to produce, even if they know the formula, the output of gunpowder will be very limited.

Hundreds of gunpowder packets, even if they are thrown randomly. 3.

5 qi is enough for a Turkic to drink a pot.

What's more, facing an unknown thing like gunpowder, once it is used on a large scale, the fear it creates will be more terrifying than the lethality.

After all, this is not the Ming Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty.

People in this period did not know the existence of gunpowder.

"Follow my orders, and I will surely lead you to this great victory at the lowest cost."

When Tang Feng said these words, he was decisive.
