Before, Luo Zhang led only 10,000 veterans among the 100,000 troops, and the rest were new recruits. Just by doing so, they would beat the shit out of Tubo. However, without those 10,000 veterans, these recruits would not be able to exert their strong combat effectiveness. .
There are currently 50,000 veterans, even if they are paired with 200,000 recruits, it will be fine. What's more, there are only 45,000 recruits. One veteran and one recruit are both wealthy. Such an army has absolutely overwhelming combat power. It can be seen that His Majesty captured Shuzhong and wiped out Changsun. Wuji's heart is so urgent.
Nowadays, the world is really at peace, and there is only a cancer in Shu. It is indeed difficult to accept that Changsun Wuji is not eliminated. After all, Changsun Wuji is a rebel and a rebel, which is somewhat different from Tubo and Gaoguli.
But what makes Luo Zhang strange is, how come there are 90,000 to 5,000 men and horses? It is said that they are all 100,000, so how come there are 5,000 less?
At that moment, Luo Zhang asked Cheng Yaojin, and Cheng Yaojin's answer to him was that he had driven away those five thousand people. They did not obey the law and were lazy and arrogant. How could such people stay in the army? It was precisely because five thousand people were driven away that the remaining ninety-five thousand people remained silent. How could they dare to disobey the general's orders? The consequence of disobeying would be to be driven away. Who would be willing to be driven away.
Luo Zhang was a little speechless about what Cheng Yaojin did. That was 5,000 people, not 500. It was still a bit hurt to drive away so many people. Fortunately, he did not drive away 10,000 or 20,000, so he could still resist. No It's a stretch, otherwise, the date of dispatching troops will really have to be extended to a later date.
You know, the information Li Yifu gave him yesterday said that Changsun Wuji now has as many as 300,000 troops. Although it is claimed, it is at least 200,000. His troops are fewer than Changsun Wuji. Halfway through, this battle is not easy to fight.
Of course, this time when he went to Shuzhong, Luo Zhang brought a large number of wooden lumps, and last night he had already transported a batch to Shuzhong and handed it over to Baoguo Gong Duan Zhixuan. It seems that with this batch of wooden lumps, Baoguo Gong Duan Zhixuan It should last a little longer.
After all, Changsun Wuji also had wooden bumps, so the time to clear the road had to be advanced much earlier.
Although Luo Zhang sent troops here, it would take a long time to reach the center of Shu. Since he brought artillery, the marching speed might not be fast.
Even if he rushes slowly, Luo Zhang is afraid it will take more than twenty days to arrive, unless he does not use artillery, which can shorten the time.
But not using artillery means that a large number of soldiers will die. Luo Zhang is a man who loves soldiers, and he would never see so many people dying in a battle.
Although the death of these people can exchange for the future of future generations, Luo Zhang feels that it is not worth it. If a family is missing men, can it still be called a family?
Luo Zhang didn't want that kind of thing to happen.
Even if Duan Zhixuan, the Duke of Bao, could not insist on retreating from Shu, Luo Zhang would not blame him and would plead for him. After all, Changsun Wuji was menacing and many people would die if he persisted.
Even if Shuzhong is lost, Luo Zhang is confident that he can regain Shuzhong if he fights back.
The army broke out of camp and marched towards the center of Shu with the sound of trumpets.
In the north, Li Jing was now at the border between Gaoguli and the Eastern Turks.
Here, Li Jing had to let the army camp and repair. It was really a long march all the way, and the soldiers were all complaining. If they continued like this, people would die. There was no way, they couldn't do it without rest.
And after repairing here, we will enter Gaoguli. Then there will be a fierce battle to be fought. How can we fight if we don't have the energy!
Immediately, Chang Sun Chong, who was on the bank of the Lujiang River, received a secret message from Kuai Ma, indicating that Li Jing's army had arrived.
Seeing this secret letter, Changsun Chong couldn't help but sneer. Although Li Jing had already arrived, it would take more than ten days to reach Liaodong County and Lujiang even if he marched urgently.
With this time, he can completely capture Pyongyang.
Looking at the giant crossbows erected across the Green River, Changsun Chong didn't pay attention. In his opinion, these things were vulnerable. You set them up here, but you can set up giant crossbows across the entire Green River?
Moreover, it takes a long time to reload each giant crossbow. As long as there are too many ships crossing the river, the giant crossbow will lose its effectiveness.
The only thing he was worried about was the crossbowmen stationed by the river. These were the people who posed the greatest threat to him and his men.
Regarding these crossbowmen, Changsun Chong had already made a decision and was waiting for nightfall to give the Tang army a big surprise!
