Bring Hokage to Datang

In the main tent of the military camp outside Huixian County, Li Chengming couldn't help but change his face when he heard the news brought back by the scout in front of him.

There are about cavalry, plus soldiers, which is . Plus the original th Guards in Chang'an City and the Beiya Forbidden Army, together, Li Shimin actually has to soldiers. of soldiers.

There are to soldiers. That is no joke. If we had this army during a chaotic war, it would be enough to conquer the entire world.

Moreover, the total military strength of the entire Tang Dynasty is only about . Li Shimin currently has to troops, which is about one-fifth of the total. So, it can be said that the most powerful person in the entire Tang Dynasty is now He did.

Regardless of the fact that many battles in history have been fought with a small number, a strong one is defeated by a weak one, so it seems that it does not matter if the number of troops is small. Can't we use the art of war to remedy the situation?

But in fact, in addition to a limited number of battles in history in which fewer people defeated more, in fact, more battles were fought with more and less, with the strong defeating the weak. This is the real historical battle.

Not only did Li Chengming change his face when he heard this, but so did Wang Hu. Wang Hu even thought about the news that Li Shimin was mobilizing troops and food from Chang'an a few days ago, regardless of the fact that the scout was still reporting the matter in the account. , stood up, and said anxiously, "Your Highness, please order Xue Wanche and Luo Ning to return to the army immediately."

Hearing Wang Hu's words, Li Chengming raised his eyebrows, naturally knowing what Wang Hu meant.

Wang Hu should be afraid that Li Shimin would directly lead the cavalry to attack him. If this was the case, it would really be a disaster.

You know, in the entire Huixian camp, apart from the three thousand troops left by Luo Ning's departure, there are only a few hundred personal guards he asked Wang Hu to form.

If Li Shimin leads an army over at this time, even if they still have some preparations and have explosive packs, a cross-era cheating weapon, explosive packs are not omnipotent. It is okay to face tens of thousands of infantry, but if it is tens of thousands The cavalry was afraid that the flaw in the explosive pack would be exposed.

What is the flaw in the explosive package?

Naturally, the explosive bag can only damage the enemy within a certain range. Even if the explosive bag contains iron nails and other objects, its power is actually that.

If the enemy sees through this flaw and directly disperses the soldiers to attack, then the power of the explosive packs will be weakened to the minimum. By then, how can they, with their thousands of people, resist the human sea tactics of hundreds of thousands of people?

After listening to Wang Hu's suggestion, Li Chengming, who was still a little shocked, slowly calmed down. He first waved his hand to Wang Hu to let him go down, and then continued to look at the scout who was half kneeling on the ground and said, "You know. Where did these people come from?”

"Back to Your Highness, I have found out clearly that these troops are from the guards of Yuqi, Tong and Hua Prefectures." The young man scolded the prince.

Li Chengming nodded slightly after hearing this answer. This answer was not too unexpected.

Although Li Chengming was not clear about the Tang Dynasty's military strength before, in the past ten days, he had asked Xue Wanche and Luo Ning to make up for him and clarify the current military strength of the Tang Dynasty.

The actual total strength of the entire Tang Dynasty was about , of which the number of cavalry was about to , accounting for one-fifth of the entire Tang Dynasty.

In order to defend the capital, Li Yuan originally deployed about to cavalry in the surrounding area.

Even though the number of cavalry only accounts for one-fifth of the Tang Dynasty, it seems that it is small. On the contrary, it can be said that it is the highest among all dynasties.

Although the Central Plains is a vast land with abundant resources, the Central Plains dynasty has never been good at raising horses and has few sources of horses, so horses have always been rare in the Central Plains.

However, horses were extremely important in ancient wars, because the mobility of cavalry was countless times higher than that of infantry.

Why in ancient times, the Central Plains dynasty was unable to defeat the surrounding grassland aliens? It was because these grassland aliens grew up on horseback. Even if they were defeated for a while, as long as they were not truly exterminated, they could come back soon. .

Think about it, when the Central Plains Dynasty and the grassland aliens fought, the Central Plains Dynasty could defeat the grassland aliens ten times with the help of human sea tactics. However, among these ten times, the grassland aliens were defeated and immediately led their troops to flee on horseback. The Central Plains Dynasty lacked How can a horse outrun a horse with two legs? Even if it wins ten times, how much damage can it cause to the aliens on the grassland.

On the contrary, as long as we lose once, we will have to face the prairie army's horseback pursuit. We can't fight or escape. How can such a battle last long?

In history, the reason why the two dynasties of the Han and Tang dynasties were able to defeat the grassland aliens was actually because these two dynasties liked to raise horses, and had a large number of horses and cavalry, and they were on an equal starting line with the grassland aliens. In this way Only then did we have the foundation to defeat the alien races on the grassland.

There were only about to cavalry in the entire Tang Dynasty, but now Li Shimin may have more than to cavalry. Under normal circumstances, with such a large number of cavalry, even an army of people may have to avoid attacking them. .

"Is there any news?" Li Chengming asked the scout again.

The young scout thought for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "Back to Your Highness, there was also an uncertain news coming from Chang'an City yesterday, saying that someone said that the rebels might raise an army to conquer us in two days, but this news is just market information. I heard it’s not confirmed yet.”

"Two days" Li Chengming frowned, his eyes flickered, and then he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work. Go down and receive the reward and rest."

"Thank you, Your Highness." After hearing Li Chengming's words, the scout bowed again, then turned around and left the main tent.

After the scout walked out, Li Chengming's expression became slightly serious and he began to think about it.

dong dong dong~~~

As his fingers gently tapped on the table in front of him, Li Chengming's eyes flickered as he kept thinking about the situation at this time.

However, although the situation at this time may be extremely dangerous for others, Li Chengming has no worries. He has his own trump card and is confident that even if Li Shimin leads an army of hundreds of thousands, he can retreat calmly. .

However, he would be very unwilling to retreat like this.

For a long time, after knowing how powerful the system on his body was, Li Chengming actually no longer cared about Li Shimin, because in his opinion, no matter how Li Shimin struggled, he would win this game, and he could only win. .

But what he didn't expect was that Li Shimin would actually plan to lead an army to conquer him in such a short period of time while he was sending people out to attack the city.

This time, if he had not received the news in advance and was caught off guard by Li Shimin, even if he could leave, he would probably be in a mess.

"If that's the case, then I'll strike first to gain the upper hand." Li Chengming raised his head, looked into the void, raised the corners of his mouth, and suddenly murmured in a low voice.
