The shouts of killing on the other side became louder and louder, and the fire in the camp of the Goryeo army became more and more intense, and it was obvious that the Niu Jinda headquarters was fighting to the death with the Goryeo enemy army.

On the west bank of the Liao River, as the first batch of soldiers went into the water and swam towards the other side of the Liao River, Li Su's mood became more and more complicated.

On one side is joy, and on the other side is uncontrollable mourning.

Rejoicing because after the first batch of soldiers crossed the river, the Goryeo enemy on the opposite bank should not be able to withstand the attack from both sides, and the defeat was imminent, and the sad thing is that he knew what the first people who crossed the river meant.

To put it bluntly, they are a group of death squads, their task is to use their bodies to resist the crazy counterattack of the Goryeo army, half a burnt incense hour, not long to say, short is not short, every breath will be killed on the bank of the Liao River, how many breaths will be taken in the hour of half burnt incense, how many people will die?

Li Su is not compassionate, he is just sad about Li Shimin's decision.

If, according to his suggestion, the whole army divided its forces and attacked, this bloody battle by the Liao River tonight should not have happened at all, and this unworthy battle could have been avoided completely.

Is the Emperor's Letter Really That Important?

In Li Su's complicated and indescribable thoughts, the first batch of soldiers had swam to the opposite shore, and then, Li Su clearly saw that a group of Goryeo troops wearing armor and holding shields had already been waiting quietly on the shore.

Listening to the screams of the Tang soldiers on the other side, Li Su's eyebrows jumped, and then he immediately turned his head to look at Li Shimin not far away.

Li Shimin rode on a horse, watching the movement on the other side of the river, facing the screams of the soldiers, Li Shimin was expressionless, and he didn't even blink his eyes, as if the life or death of those soldiers had nothing to do with him, he was just a calm god, with an extremely sober gaze, quietly looking down on the vast people, no sorrow or joy, transcendent and extraordinary.

The screams of the first batch of soldiers who swam past have gradually become weaker, and their forced landing has undoubtedly failed, and Li Su finally understood at this moment that the Goryeo army on the other side had already prepared, and Niu Jinda's headquarters was dragged by the Goryeo army, and the Goryeo army was able to divide another army to deal with the Tang soldiers who swam across the river.

In this short period of time, how many casualties the Tang Dynasty soldiers had, Li Su no longer dared to calculate.

Looking at Li Shimin's expression again, he is still so calm and indifferent.

Li Su couldn't help but sigh secretly, he really wasn't the material to be a general, he was not in charge of the army, the last thing he needed on the battlefield was kindness, once he had mercy in his heart, he would become weak in his actions, and it would affect his judgment and decision on the enemy's situation.

Li Shimin and Li Ji are undoubtedly qualified coaches, and their almost brutal calmness is the biggest advantage in leading the soldiers to victory.

As the screams and fighting on the other side became quieter and quieter, Li Shimin finally reacted.

"Herald, the second batch!" Li Shimin coldly ordered.

Li Su heard this order from afar, and his heart couldn't help but feel a chill.

Second Batch ......

How many batches of people did Li Shimin prepare to send them to death? In a battle to cross the river, why do you have to fight hard with a knife and a gun?

The second group of soldiers had already bitten their swords in their mouths and were about to go down the river, Li Su was in a hurry, slapped his horse up, and came to Li Shimin's side and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this is not right!" ”

Li Shimin, who is usually kind to Li Su, is like frost at this moment, his cold eyes swept over Li Su's face, his eyes still stayed on the other side of the Liao River, and he said lightly: "What's wrong?" ”

Li Su didn't care much, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, we can't let the soldiers die like this, Your Majesty forgot, we have earth-shattering thunder!" Halfway through, the earth-shattering thunder will definitely blow up a square inch of land on the opposite bank, so that our soldiers can calmly line up in formation......"

Li Shimin said coldly: "Zizheng doesn't need to say much, there is no need to shake the sky and thunder in the battle of crossing the river tonight." ”

Li Su was stunned: "Why not?" ”

"Because I don't want to use it!"

Li Su was so angry that he didn't care about the loss of honor in front of the emperor, and said angrily with a red neck: "What kind of reason is this!" Obviously you can die a lot less......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin suddenly broke out, interrupted his words, and shouted: "Shut up! I am the king of a country, the commander of the three armies, and the affairs of the military state are decided by me, and I don't need you to intervene in many things! Stand down for me, or I'll cure you for the crime of shaking the hearts of the army! Get lost! ”

Li Su only felt a suffocation in his chest, and the long-lost bastard energy came out of a dusty corner in his heart, raised his eyebrows, and suddenly sneered.

The next words were naturally rebellious and extremely unpleasant, but unfortunately Li Su didn't have time to say a word, and his mouth was suddenly covered, and Li Ji next to him was quick to shoot, and he rushed over and covered his mouth to death, almost suffocating Li Su.

"Bastard boy, what's the matter with you here! When will it be your turn to point fingers? Get down! Li Ji shouted angrily, but his eyes kept blinking anxiously.

Li Su understood what Li Ji meant, and at the same time, he also understood that Li Shimin couldn't listen to anything at this time, no matter how he contradicted it, it would have no effect on the result.

His heart was cold, Li Su bit his lower lip tightly, suppressed his anger with all his strength, silently turned the horse's head, and returned to the crowd of civil officials.

Zheng Xiaolou patted him on the shoulder, Li Su looked at him blankly, but saw a rare smile of approval in Zheng Xiaolou's eyes.

"You...... It's good, I didn't see the wrong person, and I didn't follow the wrong person. Zheng Xiaolou said, patted him again, and said in a low voice: "And wait patiently, this is a national war, you can't intervene, everything has its own arrangements by the monarch and ministers, and it is useless to invite disaster for yourself." ”

Li Sumuran nodded, and then looked at the other side of the Liao River.

The second group of soldiers had already swam halfway through, and without surprise, the Goryeo army on the other side was once again in formation, holding swords, guns and shields and waiting for the Tang soldiers in a good time.

The next battle was still fierce, still swords and swords, screams and wails, but Li Su clearly felt that the offensive of the Goryeo army on the other side was not as fierce as just now, maybe because of battle damage, maybe because of exhaustion.

When the second group of soldiers were still fighting for their lives on the shore, Li Shimin suddenly gave another order.

"Third batch, fourth batch, on!"

Rumble!

The soldiers who were like dark clouds went down to the river one after another, biting their swords in their mouths, and struggling to swim towards the opposite bank.

When these two groups of soldiers were about to swim to the opposite shore, Li Shimin gave another order.

"Modao Battalion, on!"

There were about 3,000 soldiers in the large army array, these soldiers were a little different from others, each of them was burly, powerful, even a head taller than ordinary soldiers, and carried a wide and heavy Mo knife more than two feet long on their backs, and walked towards the river step by step.

They are the famous Mo swordsmen who terrified the neighboring countries around the Tang Dynasty. It is also the most important in the Tang Army at present, and it can be said to be a strategic-level killer weapon, a meat grinder.

As soon as the Modao battalion went down the river, the third and fourth groups of soldiers in front of them had already exchanged hands with the Goryeo army on the opposite bank, and they were still screaming and wailing soulfully, and they were still fighting fiercely to the death, the difference was that the third and fourth groups of soldiers had already used their lives to tear a hole in the defense line of the Goryeo army on the opposite bank, and the mouth was opened, and the soldiers in the river took advantage of the situation to land on the shore and quickly killed the Goryeo army.

At the same time, the Mo knife fighters of the Mo Dao Battalion also landed on the shore, and while the soldiers in front of them were fighting, the Mo Dao Battalion swordsmen quickly arrayed, and then took the long Mo Dao from their backs, and with the order of the lieutenant colonel of the battalion, the Mo Dao danced in a fierce battle group.

As the Modao battalion entered the battle, the situation on the other side finally gradually tilted towards the Tang army. The morale of the Goryeo army has obviously declined, obviously they have heard of the prestige of the Tang Mo swordsman, once the Mo sword battalion dances in formation, it means that the general trend has gone and is irretrievable.

Sure enough, when the Goryeo Army was still fighting unrelentingly, the swordsmen of the Mo Dao Battalion slowly advanced forward while wielding the Mo Dao, like a huge monster, devouring anyone and anything who dared to approach it.

The reputation of the Goryeo people for being brave and aggressive is indeed true, Rao is the Modao battalion has been launched, the Goryeo army is still not giving up, in the shouting and scolding of the generals, the Goryeo enemy army quickly organized a counterattack, instantly lined up, and advanced towards the Modao battalion with a hard encounter and no fear of death.

The result was no suspense, as soon as the Goryeo army approached the Modao camp, the two rows of enemy troops in front of them were twisted into a ball of flesh in the blink of an eye, and the screams were too late to let out, only to see the flesh and blood flying in the sky, the internal organs and skulls were mixed together and rolling and flowing in all directions, and a tragic picture like Shura's hell appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

In the end, the morale of the Goryeo army finally collapsed completely, and suddenly shouted in despair for some reason, and then threw down the weapon and ran back with his head in his hands, with the first one, there was naturally a second, and the third, and finally the Goryeo army collapsed and retreated on the whole line, and retreated quickly to the rear like a tide, leaving only a pile of stumps and broken arms and broken flags, weapons, and countless wounded soldiers who fell to the ground and wailed.

On the west bank of the Liao River, Li Shimin's indifferent expression finally saw the light of day and showed a faint smile.

"The battle situation is decided, order the poor Kou Mo on the other side of the river to chase, line up in place and be on guard, and the whole army will cross the river immediately!"

One order after another was handed down, and the soldiers began to cross the river in an orderly manner.

Li Su rode on his horse, quietly watching the battle from the beginning to the end, with a burst of earth-shattering cheers on the other side, Li Su suddenly stirred his spirit, and finally came back to his senses.

Won, happy? Should be happy.

Li Su tried his best to squeeze out a smile and echo the cheering atmosphere in front of him, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't smile.

I can't understand Li Shimin's thinking, although war will kill people, but we can't sacrifice human lives in vain because of the stubbornness and stupidity of the boss!

Looking at Li Shimin's quiet back not far ahead, Li Su had mixed feelings in his heart.

What is this so-called "Emperor of the Ages" thinking at this moment? What was he thinking at the beginning of the battle to cross the river? It is difficult to comprehend the thinking of this holy monarch.

Put himself in his shoes, Li Su couldn't help but think, what if the battle just now was commanded by himself? Thinking about it, Li Su felt that he should be a little stronger than Li Shimin's command, at least he didn't have to pay such a heavy price.

In the short battle just now, in less than an hour, how many people were killed in the battle? Li Su didn't dare to calculate, if he commanded by himself, he believed that the casualties would be at least half.

As the founder of the Firearms Bureau, Li Su knew that for the battle of the Eastern Crusade, the Firearms Bureau began to work overtime to prepare as early as two years ago, and when it was pulled out from Chang'an, the most escorted in the logistics army was grain and grass, followed by a truckload of earth-shaking thunder packed in boxes, the number was immeasurable, what Li Su didn't understand was that it was clear that the firearms were so well prepared, and in the battle of crossing the river just now, what reason did Li Shimin have to abandon it? Willing to exchange a living life for victory, what is he thinking?

There are too many puzzles, but Li Su can only be stuffy in his heart, at this time, don't go to Li Shimin to hang around, don't bother to look at his triumphant face, and don't want to add blockage to his heart.

The army crossed the river, Li Su and his subordinates mixed in the crowd and slowly swam across, of course, with Li Su's strange problem, it was impossible to swim down the river in this cold weather.

The tribes cut some pine trees in the nearby woods, and then tied them side by side, and soon made a simple and rough raft, Li Su stood on the raft, with a lonely expression on his face, and crossed the river lightly, of course, Gao Suhuishun, the shaking M maid, also carried it.

On the other side of the Liao River, the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield and treating the wounded, the 50,000 men and horses of the front army were slowly advancing forward under Li Shimin's orders, and the remaining soldiers and horses were setting up food on the spot on the bank of the Liao River.

Li Su didn't have to do anything, after the troops crossed the river, they first found a spacious leeward place for Li Su and built a barracks for him, Gao Suhui still looked cowering, hanging her head and standing silently behind Li Su.

Looking at the wounded soldiers all over the ground, Li Su looked at her and said, "The Tang army has won, how do you feel?" ”

Gao Suhui shook her head, her expression very calm.

"Say!" Li Su frowned.

Gao Suhui was taken aback, these days of getting along, smart as she has already figured out Li Su's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, she obviously noticed that Li Su was not in a good mood at the moment, if she was in a good mood at the moment, if she was to do it with him, I am afraid that the "one hundred elite men" that Li Su often talked about might not be to scare her, he is likely to really realize this sentence, after all, she is just a captive, no matter what fate she suffers, it is a matter of course.

"Tang Jun's victory is expected, what can I say?" Gao Suhui said in a low voice. There was a little unwillingness on her pretty face, and her tone was still a little unconvinced, and even her self-proclaimed title was still "me", not "slave".

"You Goryeo army has suffered so many casualties, you don't feel anything in your heart?"

Gao Suhui was silent for a moment and said: "I'm just a weak woman, military affairs have nothing to do with me, my own life is still hanging in mid-air, how should I feel about the life and death of others?" ”

Li Su stared at her face for a long time, and said lightly: "You are a smart person, no matter how much you are stubborn, I think you are a smart person, but you just hide your cleverness in front of me, I hope that in the future, you will not be smart but be mistaken by cleverness." ”

Gao Suhui's face moved slightly, and then quickly returned to normal. 19610
