Chapter 1275 War Elephant

When the Nanzhao Kingdom was captured, his subordinates once told Li Xiang that if Li Xiang wanted to, he could retain the Nanzhao Kingdom's war elephant troops.

Although this kind of army has achieved good results in history, according to the current development situation of the Tang Dynasty army, it is not necessary to retain such a force. We only need to find a way to crack it. Now that there is a way to crack it, method, it would be even more impossible for Li Xiang to transfer this army from Nanzhao.

To put it bluntly, he still moves too slowly and cannot go to many places, so bringing them with him is just a burden.

But in the eyes of the Piao generals, this army can guarantee their victory. The Tang army lacks experience in fighting with war elephant troops. If it really goes to the battlefield, our war elephants will shout twice as much as the Tang army. , maybe I can’t hold on.

Countries in South Asia have retained war elephant troops and there are quite a lot of them. Looking at their combat history, although war elephant troops can play a part, they cannot determine the outcome.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Xiang did not let the Tang army retain it.

At this moment, General Mi Peng had a smile on his face. Before leaving, he told His Royal Highness the King that he should concentrate all his efforts on collecting all the elephants in the country, and then treat them as elephants on the battlefield. A secret magic weapon that determines victory or defeat in one fell swoop.

The Piao court also believed that there was nothing wrong with this strategy. Even though Li Xiang could lead the Tang cavalry to conquer the world, there were no unique war elephant troops elsewhere. They seemed to have seen Li Xiang's attack here.

After several days of rapid march, they finally arrived at the southern part of Wa City. When they saw the Tang Dynasty scouts in the distance, they knew that the days ahead might not be so easy. The Tang army had already Found them.

This place is still more than a hundred miles away from Wa City. The scouts of the Tang Dynasty have been sent here. It is really scary. I really don’t know how the Tang Dynasty usually fights.

According to the common sense of some generals of Piao Kingdom, when they fight outside, they can only control a range of fifty or sixty miles around themselves at most. This is already a very large circle, but they did not expect that Datang's control distance was more than twice theirs. above.

In fact, this is due to the local terrain. If you fight on the grasslands and the Western Regions, the distance may be more than 200 miles. Although doing so will waste a lot of manpower and material resources, what you fight is intelligence. If you can't If you know the information in advance, you will lose the opportunity on the battlefield.

finally come!

Li Xiang is lying on Cheng Ying's lap to eat at the moment. After the fruits arrive in the south, the fruits here are much richer than those in Chang'an City. Many tropical fruits have not been eaten since Li Xiang was reborn, but now he can eat as much as he wants. How much, and there are no chemical fertilizer additives. The most important thing is that it doesn’t cost money.

"You go back to the city well. It's not safe to stay here. Ordinarily, I shouldn't have brought you here. You have to make a noise to come here yourself. Those people I arranged for you must not be out of their sight."

Li Xiang looked at the guards outside the yard. These more than 20 people were redeemed from the system. They would strictly implement Li Xiang's orders. In order to ensure Cheng Ying's safety, these people would even lose their lives.

"I will listen to His Highness, but His Highness must also pay attention to his own safety."

Cheng Ying's eyes were full of concern, but the girl also understood that she couldn't waste too much time of Li Xiang now. After saying that, she followed the guards and retreated into the city.

The interior of Wa City has been cleaned up several times. Li Xiang wanted to treat this place as a base camp, so he also checked every house. As long as they had offensive weapons, they were all pulled outside the city. The remaining The majority of these people are Han Chinese.

Of course, we cannot take it lightly. After all, these people have lived outside for so many years. Who knows if they still remember their ancestors. If not, then we have to use steel knives to commemorate them.

The rallying horn also sounded, and the Tang army quickly mounted their war horses. They thought that when they came to fight in the south, they would not need such things as war horses, but under Li Xiang's strict orders, they were still able to do it for one man and two men. horse.

At this moment, Li Xiang also put on his new armor. This was a style personally made by the Tang Dynasty court for General Tiance. It was modeled after Li Shimin's style back then, but it was made more vivid and could be seen at a glance among thousands of troops. Li Xiang.

Of course, it is very dangerous to do this, and it is very likely that the opponent will be regarded as a target, but the prerequisite is that the opponent can rush over. Li Xiang is very confident in his soldiers, so he is not afraid of exposing himself. In his opinion, apart from Zhan Xiang, Apart from the army, other armies do not pose much of a threat to themselves.

The sound of Piao's horns was also heard. Although their troops came from afar, they saw that the Tang army in front had already set up their formations. They couldn't find a place to rest for a while. If this was the case, maybe The Tang army will rob the camp.

"The left and right armies go out to fight."

Li Xiang leaned on his seat. Even on the front line of the war, there was a 24-carriage sedan with a height of 1.8 meters.

This is the majesty of the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. No matter where we go, we are much stronger than other countries. This also represents the comprehensive national power of the Tang Dynasty. At least your monarch does not dare to play like this.

"Fuso Warriors..."

"Goguryeo man..."

As soon as Li Xiang finished speaking, an army rushed out from the left and right sides. They were the servant armies of these two countries.

Changsun Ze looked at the two armies with disdain. He really didn't know what to say about them. The two armies combined only had five thousand people, but the slogans they shouted were like tens of thousands.

Especially for the Goguryeo army, the ability to shout slogans has obviously been practiced before. I just don’t know how capable you are on the battlefield. If you were really strong enough, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have been defeated when we fought you. So fast.

The slogans of the Goguryeo and Fuso armies were rising one after another. It was as if the two sides were competing. No one wanted to be compared. They knew that this was an opportunity. As long as they showed their abilities on the battlefield, then their hometown would have a chance. More people can join the military.

Nowadays, life is difficult in their hometown. If they can join the army, it will improve the life of the entire family, and even the lives of the entire ethnic group. And the opportunity to perform is at their feet... (End of Chapter)
