Chapter 189
"Yes, it's so fun! However, if I can give His Highness a hundred thousand rare troops, it depends on whether His Highness has the ability to take them!" Xu Shize's face was full of smiles.
Staring at Xu Shize's scheming look, Tang Yu said speechlessly: "Do you want me to conquer Li Jing?"
"That's right, if you want to obtain these 100,000 rare soldiers, it depends on whether His Highness can conquer Li Jing!" Xu Shize nodded.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Does Your Highness know why Li Jing, the founder of the Hundred-War Armor-Piercing Soldier, became a bandit?" Xu Shize smiled.
Tang Yu asked: "Why is this?"
He really couldn't figure out how a super general like Li Jing could end up in such a situation as a bandit.
"This matter started when Da Chu invaded three years ago..." Xu Shize sighed, and his eyes suddenly darkened.
It turned out that three years ago, an army of 300,000 troops came to invade. Tang Dynasty treated it seriously and mobilized 500,000 troops from across the country to garrison Jingzhou City.
Jingzhou City is the first line of defense of the Tang Dynasty. It is as solid as a rock, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Logically speaking, if an army of 500,000 fights against an army of 300,000, it will have a sufficient numerical advantage. In addition, Jingzhou City will serve as a guarantee. Tang was already in an invincible position.
But the problem lies with the commander Tang Long. At that time, the general protecting the country Qin Mang was recovering from his injuries at home and was unable to go out. Qin Mang suggested that Tang Long take command and go out. In Qin Mang's view, this was a battle of persistence. As long as he did not commit low-level crimes, Wrong, resisting the invasion of Da Chu is never a problem.

But no one expected that Tang Long was so eager to achieve success that he played a good hand of cards to pieces.
Three years ago, Da Chu's army was led by Ye Yuanba, the champion of Da Chu. Ye Yuanba led an army of 300,000 people and attacked the city for half a month. Not only did he not gain any advantage, he also continued to lose troops and generals.
So, Ye Yuanba came up with a plan. He specially led his troops to attack the city in person. He was deliberately shot by Tang Long with an arrow, and then began to fake his death. As Ye Yuanba faked his death, the Da Chu military camp wailed, and countless generals passed through it. With white clothes and white silk hanging up, it seemed as if the champion Hou Ye Yuanba was really shot to death by Tang Long's arrow.
Tang Long was overjoyed when he saw this, and he planned to take this opportunity to attack the Dachu military camp at night.
Li Jing realized that something was abnormal at the time, and he dissuaded Tang Long not to take risks. However, when Tang Long took command of the army for the first time, he ignored Li Jing's dissuasion and went his own way.
That night, in addition to the 30,000 defenders left in the city, more than 400,000 troops all left the city to attack the Chu army camp at night. What everyone did not expect was that there was no one in the Chu army's camp. Everything was filled with kerosene, and when Tang Long reacted, a rain of arrows carrying flaming light fell from the sky.
The feather arrows carrying fire directly ignited the kerosene, and the explosion was deafening. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty suffered heavy casualties in the explosion.
Then, the champion Ye Yuanba led his men to kill like no one else. Ye Yuanba was born with supernatural power and was extremely powerful. He killed several generals of the Tang Dynasty in just a few encounters, and the morale of the Tang army was suddenly weakened.
Tang Long knew that he had been fooled, and he immediately chose to lead his troops to break out.
It was just that the situation was in chaos at that time. No matter how large the army of the Tang Dynasty was, the morale of the army had already been weakened. Da Chu had well ambushed archers, and a large number of warriors were shot by Da Chu's feather arrows just after they successfully broke through.
After a night of brutal fighting, Tang Long finally fled back to Jingzhou City in embarrassment with less than 50,000 people.
Tang Long thought it would be safe this way, but he didn't expect Ye Yuanba to dig a tunnel in advance. As soon as Tang Long returned to Jingzhou City, the Chu army followed the tunnel and came in again.
Tang Long united with the 30,000 defenders of Jingzhou City and defeated the Chu army at a heavy cost. After the battle, only 50,000 of the 500,000-strong army in Jingzhou City remained.
What makes people desperate is that Da Chu's 300,000 reinforcements arrived in time, and the joint champion Hou Ye Yuanba was left with an army of 200,000, a total of 500,000 people.
Although the encirclement and suppression of Tang Dynasty soldiers lost 100,000 people, Ye Yuanba still had 200,000 warriors with outstanding combat capabilities.
