The Great Cannibal will definitely be a major threat to the Tang Dynasty in the future. It is only a huge threat during the expansion of the Tang Dynasty. Because during the expansion of the Tang Dynasty, the Great Cannibal has not yet been able to reach Chang'an.
Prepare early, this is a strategic plan.
Li Lanshan is the most suitable person to accept this task.
"Brother Yao, can we fight this year? What scale of war can Datang fight?"
After Li Lanshan left, Li Yuanxing asked Li Jing such a question.
Li Jing was put in a dilemma by Li Yuanxing's question. He said he could fight, but he could also fight. The Tang Dynasty had enough grain reserves and enough weapons. But if there were external battlefields every year, how much impact would it have on the country? Li Jing
As Zhongshu Ling, I dare not answer this question.
After being silent for a while, Li Jing said: "A small beating is still okay."
"Senior Brother Yao has become much more cautious since he became the Zhongshu Lingzhi." Li Yuanxing said with a smile.
Li Jing did not laugh, but said: "When I was in charge of the Ministry of War, I was naturally worried about how to train, how to set up defenses, and how to fight. As Zhongshu Ling, I naturally had to think more comprehensively about the entire Tang Dynasty, whether it was people's livelihood or defense.
, are all extremely important.”
"Calculate the cost!" The cabinet master suddenly said something that neither Li Er nor Li Jing understood.
Li Yuanxing understood, so Li Yuanxing replied: "There is no place where there is fighting every day in the Tang Dynasty. I don't plan to use our regular army to fight on the Japanese island. On the land battle side, there will be a battle in Tuyuhun, but there won't be one in two years. Tuyuhun
This battle over there is not timely."
After speaking, Li Yuanxing explained to Li Er: "Brother, the cost is calculated like this. Constantly station different legions in areas where fighting can occur, and take turns to participate in defensive or conflict battles. In this way, the army can fight
The improvement of strength is of great use."
After Li Yuanxing explained it here, Li Er and Li Jing naturally understood.
Li Jing said: "This cost should not be the cost of food. The first is the cost of transportation, which is huge. Then there is the cost of battle losses. For troops who have faced the same enemy for many years, the battle losses must be very low, but in general
If different troops are used to fight, the battle damage will be increased several times."
"Then take a two-year break!"
Li Er made a concluding speech on this discussion.
"Let the affairs of the Western Turks be left to the Tianying Pavilion for discussion." Li Er was already preparing to leave. This change in the Western Turks may not be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty. It was a bit too sudden, and the Western Turks were currently in conflict with the Tang Dynasty.
Being close to the Tang Dynasty restricted the development of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions.
After Li Er complained a few times, he left Admiral Tiance's residence.
Li Yuanxing ran to find Li Lanshan. He hadn't seen her for several days and wanted to show his concern.
As for the things Wu Zhao brought back, it would take at least five days before they could be used. So Li Yuanxing did not rush them, but focused on the opening of the stock market, which had been postponed several times.
A few days later, Japan Island.
The elite troops of the Tang Dynasty, who had rested here for several days, received their first combat mission.
A group of supply ships from Laizhou carried more than thirty written warrants.
Instead of sending a telegram, the warrant was sealed in an envelope.
The Red Blood Guards only came with a thousand people, the Thunder Cavalry came with two thousand people, and the Yu Lin Army with the smallest number was only one hundred and twenty people.
"Fat Pei, what is your mission?" Xue Lingwei of the Yulin Army asked after reading his mission and putting the mission book in his bag.
Fatty Pei naturally refers to Pei Chengguang.
Why is he a fat man? It's not because Pei Chengguang is fat enough, but because when he was young, he once captured the enemy's main camp and packed countless copper coins in large and small bags. He looked round from a distance.
Already.
And his younger brother Pei Chengxian is called Pei Fatty.
Pei Chengxian attacked another target, and when he came back, he seemed to have trophies from the mission.
In the evening, when Pei Chengguang was counting the pile of copper coins, Pei Chengxian untied his armor and took out more than a dozen gold objects pressed into cakes from the inside of the armor. Even a gold wine glass was placed on Pei Chengguang's back.
There is a pile of copper coins, not to mention there are more than a dozen hidden here, including large ones, such as gold plates.
Pei Chengguang had no intention of quarreling with anyone, and just said: "My mission is to capture a camp. But the battle damage must be zero!"
"It seems that everyone is having fun. I'm going to fight three thousand cavalry troops alone!"
"I am the most boring person. I am also challenging three thousand cavalry. I want to win the battle with just a drum beat, and the enemy's horses have to leave at least two thousand. How can I have a good fight like this? I have to go back to the camp to think about it.
." After Ashnadur finished speaking, he saluted the generals, turned around and left.
Pei Chengguang also turned and left: "I want to think about it too!"
This reaction seemed to be contagious, and all the generals returned to camp one after another.
In the end, only the boss of the Xue family of the Yulin Army did not move. He had one hundred and twenty men, and he had to challenge three thousand cavalry. If he had chosen the Thunder Cavalry, he thought he was going to die, and the elite Turks would probably have died too.
But he didn't care much about challenging ordinary cavalry.
The Japanese cavalry didn't even have saddles. Do they really know how to use cavalry?
On the contrary, it was a foot battle, and the Japanese dared to fight tooth and nail.
The mission statement did not make any concealment. All the offensive or defensive combat objectives have only one thing in common. That is, because of the last failure, the five Japanese families need to readjust and train new recruits. Therefore, at these strategic target points, they
There is no way to fight.
The Japanese originally saw that the King of the Tang Dynasty had transferred some soldiers, but the number was not large, and they did not pay too much attention.
But after the contents of the order came out, the Japanese people were suspicious, especially when Yu Lin's 120 men made an appointment to fight 3,000 enemy cavalry, the Japanese people thought that this was crazy.
The Ichijo family had more news. After the Ichijo family summoned the other four families, the head of the Ichijo family told the other four families everything he knew about the Habayashi Army.
"This Yu Lin Army, their alternative secondary army is heard to be the Royal Forbidden Army of the Tang Dynasty. This Yu Lin Army should be very powerful, but it is not as powerful as the 120 men who killed 3,000 people in a frontal battle!"
The head of the Ichijo family gave some information on the Habayashi Army to other families.
No one believed this was true, nor did they believe that these 120 people could fight against 3,000 people.
However, when many Japanese people were suspicious, the Habayashi Army's letter of challenge had already been sent in the name of a mercenary hired by the Ichijo family.
Outside Jiangjin City, early the next morning.
Naturally, this requires a higher bet, and the bet is ten thousand taels of gold. The criterion for victory is that one party dies, surrenders, or escapes. The ten thousand taels of gold are piled on the battlefield, and the winning side is responsible for pulling away the gold.
The soldiers of the Ichijo family served as Habayashi's auxiliary soldiers and were responsible for taking care of the horses and cleaning the weapons.
Before morning, the Ichijo family prepared a large amount of delicious food and wine and placed them on top of Jiangjin Castle. The head of the Ichijo family thought that naturally there should be many distinguished people to challenge.
It was announced to the outside world that these were mercenaries hired by the five Izumo families in the Tang Dynasty.
But they themselves know very well how high the status of these people is.
Speaking of which, the status of many generals is not lower than that of General Wangba, and they are also the real main elite troops of the Tang Dynasty.
When the sun rose, except for Yu Lin's 120 cavalry, not a single general from the Tang Dynasty came to watch the battle, not even General Wang Ba came, which made the head of the Ichijo family very puzzled.
At this time, Wang Ba was analyzing the marching route and attack time for several generals.
Every general has his or her own mission. Watching Yu Lin fight is ridiculous. Yu Lin is the most ruthless in the entire Tang Dynasty. Those guys are called soldiers. In fact, the lowest military rank for Yu Lin's regular soldiers is from the seventh rank to the seventh rank.
The circle of civil servants is also the magistrate of the lower county. If you pick anyone at random, you will dare to challenge the general of an army in a duel.
Yu Lin is a special being. The people gathered here are all people who only know how to kill people and understand tactics, but do not understand the art of war. Naturally, these people have to be singled out. They cannot lead troops, but everyone is
The King of Soldiers.
In the reform of the military system of the Tang Dynasty, how could a captain who could not lead an army lead an army on the battlefield?
While the head of the Ichijo clan was filled with doubts, the one hundred and twenty cavalrymen of the Habayashi Army had already arrived on the battlefield.
"Are you here to die?" the other party shouted.
Xue Lingwei just said lightly: "Ask them if they dare to raise the bet!"
The Japanese who followed next to him was a close confidant of Ichijo's family and understood Chinese. He immediately shouted in Japanese: "Don't you dare to raise the bet!"
"Hahaha!" The other party laughed.
"Tell them to add a thousand pieces of Yunjin. By the way, the 3,000 pieces of rags they carry are worth the same as the value of the ordnance of one of us. So after these people die in battle, we will have nothing."
No, just keep the horses."
Yu Linjun's arrogant attitude silenced the other party.
10,000 taels of gold are piled in the field, and another 10,000 taels are added. It is just a piece of paper, not real gold.
The Yulin army did not form a formation. Of course, in the eyes of the Japanese, these cavalry did not form a formation, but were very loose in twos and threes. The movement of the horses was more like walking than preparing for battle.
As the sun rose higher, the Yulin army took off their big cloaks, and the Japanese auxiliary soldiers quickly took them and ran back.
Under the sun, with full-body armor glowing with purple light, the heroic Habayashi army stunned both the Japanese enemies and members of the Ichijo family.
How much is the equipment on these people worth, and will it be very powerful?
"Don't be afraid. They only have one hundred and twenty people. We have thirty people fighting one person. Whoever kills the other party can get the things on the other party and kill them all. When we go back, we will reward each slave two, rice and one stone."
The enemy troops are boosting their morale.
The Yulin Army still looked lazy, pulling the horses loosely to spin in circles.
The smile with a hint of contempt on his face further angered the three thousand Japanese who were fighting against them. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
