The arrival of Lunzi was just a beginning.
Soon, more people came to Xiazhou City, many of whom were familiar faces of Xiao Han. However, as wartime approached, the atmosphere became increasingly tense. No one will treat war as a child's play, including Xiao Han! Therefore, except for a few stewards from his own family, Xiao Han never had long conversations with anyone else, and they could only bow to each other when they met on the street.
Li Yuan seems to attach great importance to Xiazhou City, which can produce salt. Not only did he have more than 10,000 soldiers, but also countless servants were stationed.
Almost all of Li Shimin's direct troops were present, and the black Xuanjia Army was stationed next to the logistics camp. The neighing of horses and people every day made people feel uneasy.
The small Xiazhou City suddenly had more than double the number of people squeezed in, and it was immediately obvious that it was crowded. The house assigned to Xiao Han was also filled with his soldiers. Every night, Xiao Han always suspected that he was living in a gas chamber.
The day of the decisive battle came in a blink of an eye. Xiao Han couldn't sleep the night before, so when he got up the next morning, he had two big national treasure eyes.
Walking out the door and looking at the rising sun in the east, Xiao Han was still thinking last night: During the war, the sky should have some strange phenomena to add to the fun, not to mention the white rainbow piercing the sun and the nine stars in the sky. The sky has to be gloomy no matter what! To add some atmosphere to the tragic scene of the only organization in the world that cannibalism on such a scale.
Unfortunately, the sky today is extremely clear. Xiao Han looked up and searched for a long time but couldn't find a cloud.
The treasured donkey kept snoring beside Xiao Han. It was very unhappy that its owner did not want to ride it, but instead wanted to ride a big horse that was more than a head taller than it! Baring her teeth, the mare on Xiao Han's crotch was so frightened that she backed away until the fool came over and slapped her. Then she ran to the side in dejection, chewing hay without a bite.
Uncle Lengzi arranged every part of Xiao Han's hair very seriously. Even his hair was specially tied with cloth ribbons several times. You must know that Xiao Han's hair is always fixed with hairpins on weekdays.
"Master Marquis! The battlefield is no different from others. If there is any accident, follow Xiaodong and the others immediately! It doesn't matter if we go west or north to cross the Yellow River! Even if we go south, those "savages" will leave a route for us! When the time comes Don’t worry about anything! As long as you are safe, we won’t lose anything! Idiot, I, Lao Zhang, they will fight to the death to protect you..."
Uncle Lunzi talked a lot. This usually very strong old man turned into a mother-in-law at this time, which made Xiao Han feel a little uncomfortable for a while.
Reaching out to loosen the helmet strap around his neck, Xiao Han took a deep breath, spurred the horse to turn around, and then said to Uncle Fool and the others who also climbed on the horse: "Okay, I remember everything! But there is no need to be so pessimistic! Since His Highness King Qin dares to fight, it means that he is sure of victory! We don’t need to go to the front line this time, we just need to attach the observation record at the back!"
Uncle Lengzi and Xiaodong nodded, their expressions unclear under their dark helmets. I don’t know what these battle-hardened people will be thinking at this time.
There is no need to say more. Xiao Han and his party of more than a dozen people rode fast horses and followed the rear army to the battlefield. Yellow smoke was rising, and the future was bleak...
There is a famous saying: War is an act of violence that forces the enemy to obey our will!
In order to achieve the final victory, various techniques and knowledge about war were invented one after another! And their application has created countless classic cases and characters.
The war between the two parties in ancient times was far more complicated and cumbersome than in later generations! The coordination of troops, the selection of arrays, and the application of the surrounding environment and weather! All test the commander's experience and judgment.
There are few people, this is the inevitable weakness of Li Shimin's side! In order to avoid this weakness, Li Shimin deliberately chose Jiuqu as the place for the decisive battle.
Jiuqu, just by hearing its name, you can tell that its terrain is complex.
The special environment, which is no more than a mile at its widest and no more than a few dozen paces at its narrowest, minimizes the numerical disadvantage! In this narrow and long environment, even if you have a million people, the ones who can contact the enemy will always be the thousand people at the front!
When the Yellow River hits the shore, it does not pick up thousands of piles of snow, but only picks up countless wind-sands and lifts them into the air. The Black Armor Army, which was like a ferocious steel beast, stood quietly on the river bank, as motionless as a piece of rock. They are also Li Shimin's greatest confidence!
In the Tang Dynasty, an ordinary soldier with complete equipment could only cost twenty or thirty guan. Ordinarily, a fully equipped cavalry only needs sixty guns! And they, with their equipment, are already close to 200 swords! And that’s without the horses!
The armor forged with the latest technology is almost invulnerable! The horseshoes worn on the body are all treasures that took more than three years to make! The complexity of the craftsmanship made Xiao Han stunned and completely gave up the idea of improvement and optimization!
And besides that, daggers, flails, horseshoes! All are excellent products! Li Shimin fully believed that this cavalry of less than a thousand people was almost synonymous with invincibility in this era!
At sunrise, Tang soldiers led by Li Shimin and Zheng Jun, commanded by Wang Shichong, finally met at the land of Jiuqu.
The formations of the two sides stood still three miles apart. Li Shimin and Wang Shichong looked at each other from a distance, and then rushed towards the opposite side at the same time as if they had practiced well.
Under the guard of Uncle Lengzi and the others, Xiao Han came to a place not far from the front army to watch the battle. Until now, Uncle Lengzi had not figured out why Xiao Han was so concerned about fighting after coming to Xiazhou City. Whenever there was a war, Must come in person.
The two generals met in the middle of the battlefield, fifty steps apart, and they reined in their horses and stood up almost at the same time.
"Tough!" This was Li Shimin's first impression of Wang Shichong. Seeing him, he always felt that he did not look like an emperor, but more like a vanguard general who took the lead!
"Are you Li Shimin? Didn't Liu Wuzhou say that you are already dead! Why would a dead man come to stop me from conquering the world?" Wang Shichong's voice came over in a slow voice as he rode on his horse. Even though he was already enthroned as emperor, he still dared to risk his life to meet the enemy generals on the battlefield. I don't know whether it was because of his audacity or his blind confidence in himself.
The two sides were already at odds with each other, and Li Shimin didn't have to give Wang Shichong any face. He snorted coldly and said, "Liu Wuzhou? Who is he? When I return with a great victory, I will kill him!"
Wang Shichong was also experienced in battles and was not annoyed at all by Li Shimin's words. He looked at Li Shimin with a flash of light in his eyes: "Okay, okay! Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers! But today it seems that you have little chance!"
Li Shimin laughed boldly: "Hahahahaha, it's useless to talk more! Let me see the truth!"
Xiao Han was far away from the two of them. He could only see the two of them meeting and then parting. As for what they said, he couldn't hear anything! He rubbed his head and asked the stupid uncle next to him: "What are they doing? Let's meet before we fight? Don't wait until we hit the wrong person?"
Uncle Fool was sweating profusely. I really admired the Marquis for being able to joke at such a tense moment. He quickly lowered his voice and said: "Master Marquis, this is to be polite before fighting! Before fighting, you must always prove that you are the master of justice!"
"Oh~" Xiao Han suddenly realized, looking at the two people who had turned back to the army, he said: "It turns out that I just want to find a name for myself! Just like Liu Bei, a slipper seller, has to be a descendant of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao, a traitor, has to have a reputation for himself. Kuang Fu is the same as Zhengtong!"
"Almost...almost..."
