Chapter 188
Tang Huang said: "This time against Da Chu, I order you to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies. You will be in charge of the three armies and have 200,000 troops under your direct command!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qin Mang said respectfully.
Immediately, Emperor Tang looked at Tang Long: "Boss, the Tang Dynasty will send 400,000 troops this time. Except for the 30,000 golden fire cavalry of the third brother, the remaining 170,000 troops will be left to you. Don't let me down this time! "
"Yes, Father!" Tang Long looked extremely serious.
Finally, Emperor Tang looked at Tang Yu: "Yu'er, the Golden Fire Cavalry is the elite of the cavalry. If used properly, it can be compared to a hundred thousand infantry. This is your first time fighting on the front line. You must step by step. If there is anything you don't understand, , consult General Qin Mang in time!"
"Father, I understand!" Tang Yu hugged him with a fist.
"Yes, Your Majesty (Father)!"
Qin Mang, Tang Long and Tang Yu responded in unison.
This battle was mainly divided into three armies. In addition, Xu Shize was in charge of the capital, and the third prince Tang Shuheng was in charge of supply transportation.
After everyone exited the imperial study, Tang Yu said angrily: "Old Xu, you are not honest. Didn't you keep saying you would give me a hundred thousand bandits? Why did you suddenly become a hundred thousand bandits? To put it bluntly, The combined combat effectiveness of one hundred thousand bandits is not as good as thirty thousand golden fire cavalry!"

"Your Highness, do you know who the leader of this hundred thousand bandits is?" Xu Shize smiled mysteriously.
Tang Yu was surprised and said: "Who? Could it be that he is a strange person in this world?"
"At this point, I will not hide it from Your Highness. The leader of the Hundred Thousand Bandits is General Li Jingli, the founder of the Tang Dynasty's armor-piercing army that fought every battle!" Xu Shize lowered his voice.
"Who? Li Jing? Damn it!"
Hearing this name, Tang Yu was immediately deeply shocked.
The first thing he thought of was Li Jing, the King of Pagodas, and the second was Li Jing, the God of War, one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion during the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's time.
According to historical records, Li Jing was victorious in every battle, and his whole body was full of mythology.
Tang Yu has read historical data. In the eighth year of Wude, Li Jing resisted the invasion of the Eastern Turks in northern Xinjiang. In the third year of Zhenguan, he took charge of the march on Dingxiang Road and took charge of the president's generals' northern expedition. He attacked Dingxiang with three thousand elite cavalry at night and made Jieli Khan The troops were frightened and collapsed, and they rushed to attack Yinshan Mountain, annihilating the Eastern Turks in one fell swoop, and making the Tang Dynasty's territory extend from the north of Yinshan Mountain to the desert.
Because of his merits, he worshiped Shangshu Youpushe and was granted the title of Duke of the country. In the ninth year of Zhenguan, he retired due to foot illness. In the same year, he was appointed again and led the army to attack Tuyuhun in the west. Later, he was granted the title of Duke of Wei.
What Tang Yu never expected was that there would be a Li Jing in this era.
Moreover, the Hundred-War Armor-Piercing Army was the strongest infantry army in the Tang Dynasty and was founded by Li Jing.
Three years ago, Da Chu invaded, and Li Jing led the armor-piercing troops to break up the rear. It was rumored that Li Jing was ultimately unable to resist Da Chu's large number of soldiers, and eventually he hated the city of Jingzhou.
Now that Xu Shize said this, Tang Yu was shocked. Li Jing was not defeated and died back then?
Seeing Tang Yu's shocked face, Xu Shize smiled leisurely and said, "Does Your Highness still feel that the 100,000 bandits in Tiandang Mountain are just a mob?"
"If the leader of these one hundred thousand bandits is really Li Jing, these one hundred thousand bandits are really, as you said, Lao Xu, one hundred thousand extraordinary soldiers!" Tang Yu was excited.
Just the name Li Jing sounds awesome, not to mention that Li Jing is the founder of the most powerful infantry in the Tang Dynasty, the Armor-Piercing Army.
Xu Shize continued to smile and said: "Since His Highness is moved, these 100,000 rare soldiers are yours, Your Highness!"
"So happy?" Hearing this, Tang Yu was very interested.
