Chapter 1981: Coffin-carrying battle to the death
Only 14,000 cavalry charge, but the momentum created is so huge, the roar of the mountains and the tsunami is daunting. If 40,000 cavalry charge together, how can it be done?
The Tang army's raid on Luoyang failed, and their morale was already depressed. They were overtaken by the Qin army during their retreat, and now they are in a period of low morale.
After seeing the sight of thousands of horses galloping, many soldiers were frightened and began to move back subconsciously.
"Um?"
Li Shimin's eyes were as bright as lightning, and he could tell at a glance that the soldiers were in crisis. He immediately pulled out the Seven-Star Longyuan from his waist and shouted: "No one is allowed to retreat. Anyone who retreats will die."
Although the scene of Wan Qi rushing to score points is terrifying, he has not rushed in front of him after all, but the bright sword of the law enforcement team behind him can cut him at any time.
The soldiers of the Tang Army did not dare to retreat immediately. Although cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, they still suppressed the fear in their hearts and faced the Qin Army's cavalry that was about to rush over.
"My lord, Zhang Liao did not directly launch a general attack, but divided his troops into four groups. Zhang He and Xu Huang each led 7,000 cavalry and took the lead in attacking the two wings of our army.
As for the other two troops, one was Zhang Liao's 16,000-strong central army, and the other was Xiao Yan's 10,000-strong rear army. However, Xiao Yan's troops came out alone and seemed to have no intention of participating in the war. "
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he knew that this was a trick to transfer 10,000 cavalry.
Zhang Liao thought that the disappearing 10,000 cavalrymen would take his retreat after the decisive battle began, so he left Xiao Yan with 10,000 cavalrymen on guard.
"Mr. Sima, you are really amazing." Li Shimin praised.
"It's just a small trick."
Sima Yi shook his head: "The crisis has not been resolved yet, His Highness the King of Tang must not be careless."
Li Shimin nodded. Of course he knew that the Tang army's crisis had not been resolved. After all, even if the attacking Qin army was reduced by 10,000, there were still 30,000 cavalry. The Tang army's 50,000 elite infantry might not be able to stop it.
But this is already very rare. After all, if the attacking Qin army has 40,000 cavalry, the Tang army has almost no chance of winning, but if there are only 30,000, there is a glimmer of hope.
Li Shimin had to fight for this glimmer of hope on his own.
On the command platform, Li Shimin stepped forward, pointed his sword to the sky, and shouted: "Soldiers, if we lose today's battle, we will all die without a burial place.
If you want to survive, you must fight to the death and defeat the Qin army. "
[Ding dong, Li Shimin's skill 'Zhenguan' effect 3 is activated. When commanding a large army to fight, the overall quality of the entire army will be greatly improved. The greater the disparity between the enemy's and our own forces, the stronger the combat power of the army will be to the enemy. (Note: This effect works best when activated with Li Shimin’s exclusive unit, the Xuanjia Army. The bonus received by the Xuanjia Army will be double that of other teams.)
Since there is no huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, we can only increase the overall quality of the entire army. The overall quality of the entire army is greatly improved. Commander Li Shimin +2;
Li Shimin’s basic commander is 100 (+2), and the current commander has increased to 102;]
The 'Zhenguan' effect 3 has a very strong increase in commanding the army, but there is no clear increase in commanding. This is obviously unreasonable, and now I finally understand what's going on.
The more advanced skills are, the more ambiguous they are in terms of effect display. For example, Tianming and Holy Emperor have no clear numerical boundaries, and the same is true for Zhenguan.
It's not that 'Zhenguan' cannot increase commander, but like other advanced skills, it is not clearly revealed. As long as the conditions are met, commander attributes can still be increased, and there is no clear numerical limit.
Of course, Zhenguan's increase in commanders must be limited. After all, in such a crisis, Li Shimin was only given additional commanders for two days. It can be seen that 2 points should be the limit of Zhenguan's increase in commanders.
In a few words, Li Shimin calmed down the Tang army's unsteady march.
Seeing that the unstable military morale had been restored and morale was also on the rise, Li Shimin quickly struck while the iron was hot and said to his left and right: "Bring it up."
Under everyone's attention, four soldiers carried up a coffin.
Li Shimin pointed at the coffin and shouted: "Soldiers, I, Li Shimin, hereby promise you that if you lose this battle, the people of the world will die before you."
[Ding dong, Li Shimin's skill 'Zhenguan' effect 4 is activated. When he joins the battle in person, the generals in the army will gain +2 force and reduce part of the enemy's morale. (Note: This effect can be activated together with Effect 3.)
Li Shimin: Force 93 (+5), Qixing Longyuan +1, Shivachi +1, the current force has increased to 97;
Kang Anyu: Force 104 (+1), crescent shovel +1, blood-sweating horse +1, currently increased to 108;
Master Shang and Disciple: Martial Power 103 (+3), Tilu Spear, Night Helmet, Tang Ni Armor +1, Yellow Mane Horse +1, current Martial Power has increased to 107;
Hou Junji: Strength 97 (+2), White Tiger Sword +1, Dayuan Horse +1, current strength increased to 101;
…
Ma Shanwei: 105, Seven Kills Overlord Spear +1, Curly Lion Black +1, current force increased to 109;]
Li Shimin's prestige in the Tang army was extremely high, and the soldiers supported him extremely.
The soldiers had tears in their eyes when they heard the tragic speech before, but now he actually brought out the coffins.
Li Shimin's behavior of carrying the coffin and fighting to the death completely aroused the grief and anger of the soldiers, and a feeling of mourning for the army quickly spread among the Tang army.
The Tang army, which was originally frightened by the Qin army's cavalry and whose morale was in turmoil, was instantly transformed into a mourning army under Li Shimin's tragic speech and the increase of "Zhenguan". Its comprehensive combat power not only returned to its peak, but even exceeded it.
"Fight to the death, fight to the death..."
The 50,000 Tang troops used all their strength and roared hysterically. Their roars could be said to resound through the sky and could be heard by Zhang Liao even ten miles away.
Zhang Liao, who was observing the Tang army's formation, suddenly showed a solemn look on his face when he heard the roar of grief and anger from the 50,000 Tang army. At this moment, he understood why Qin Hao was so fond of Li Shimin.
"He is indeed a man that the lord should treat with caution. He so quickly inspired the morale of the Tang army, which was sluggish in military morale, and there is a faint tendency to transform into the Ai army." Zhang Liao said to himself with a serious face.
If the morale of the Tang army had been sluggish, it would be effortless for the 30,000 Qin army's cavalry to defeat it. But facing the 50,000 Ai army, the situation would be completely different.
The Ai army will surely win!
In Zhang Liao's eyes, Tang Jun was originally a bull that could be eaten with a lot of effort, but now it has become a hedgehog. Although it can still be eaten, its mouth will be full of blood, which is not worth the gain.
In an instant, Zhang Liao's eyes flashed with light, and he said to himself: "So what if you are Aijun?
Even if a turtle shell has thorns, it is still a turtle shell. As long as it doesn't bump into it, it can still hurt the hunter. "
