Chapter 673: The Battle on Luzon (Part I)
Li Yuanba led the army under his command, selected a jungle with special terrain, and began a three-day training, and then after three days, he finally began to attack the Donghao tribe, the Batu tribe and the Hohe tribe.
At present, the three most powerful tribes on Luzon Island, although they far exceed Li Yuanba's army in numbers, but Li Yuanba and they have more powerful firearms than the natives of Luzon. The three thousand Shenwu guards who were taught.
Therefore, in the face of enemies several times their own, the two brothers Li Su seemed very relaxed.
Because he knew that the natives of the other side had nearly 100,000 people, but among the 100,000 people in these three tribes, there were old and young, and some of them didn't even have weapons, and only relied on the simplest wooden sticks to fight the enemy.
For the 13,000 Tang army, there is no threat at all.
So, in November of the eighth year of Zhenguan, the two armies went through dozens of skirmishes.
In the middle of the confrontation, Li Ke, this kid, listened to Li Yuanba's suggestion and deliberately showed weakness to the enemy, so that the enemy's three major tribal alliances won several battles in a row.
At this moment, Li Su on the other side deliberately revealed the camp tent and whereabouts of the army to the Donghao tribe.
As a result, the Donghao tribe immediately began to contact the Batu tribe and the Hohe tribe, and the three tribes united and planned to raid Li Yuanba's camp station.
Of course, Li Ke had already been prepared, this station was carefully selected by him under Li Yuanba's instructions, and the firearms that had not been used in the previous battles were also hidden in a high place early.
It's been hidden in the snow for so long, and it's finally ready to use!
……
On the beach in the northeast of Luzon, the terrain here is still remarkable, with the sea to the east and mountains to the west. There is also a large jungle to the south.
Of course, with such a terrain, those natives who had already carried away did not expect this, they had already been carried away by the previous victory, and they wanted to beat those Tang people out of Luzon now.
"Lord Yu, although the enemy tribal alliance is ten times more than ours, but because the relationship between the tribes is not peaceful, they are almost fighting on their own."
A Shenwu guard bowed down and stood in front of Li Su and reported: "At present, the Batu tribe and the Hohe tribe have close relations. Send 70,000 of their allied forces to the front of us, and in that jungle to the south is the 30,000 army of the Donghao tribe! ”
"Well, let's go again!" Li Ke pondered a little after hearing this, and waved his hand again and said.
After all, the situation on the battlefield can be said to be changing rapidly, and any information about the other party cannot be left behind for a moment.
"No!" The soldier replied respectfully, turned and took the order.
Not long after the soldier of the Shenwu Guard left, the second soldier hurried over again and reported the battlefield information he had obtained. Report to Li Su again......
With the reports of these soldiers, the situation on this beach battlefield has been fully grasped by Li Ke, and the situation on the entire battlefield has also formed a relatively complete blueprint in Li Ke's heart.
Compared with the 100,000 allied troops of the three major tribes, the 13,000-strong army arranged by Li Ke was much more conservative.
Even comparatively. Li Ke has absolute reason to believe that as long as half of the strength of the Tang army is taken out...... Of course, this does not include the army of 3,000 Divine Warriors.
As long as you take out 3,000 native troops, and 7,000 Tang navy. Kill with those natives who don't have too many iron tools, and that's it.
In addition, all the Shenwu Guard armies armed with firearms also formed mobile teams. They shuttled across the battlefield and started to do the trick of setting off cold guns.
In the distance, on the high ground, thirty divine cannons were erected there, and if the natives gathered together, the thirty cannons would not hesitate to unleash the power they should have.
Compared with the strictness of the Tang army, the 100,000 tribal alliance on the opposite side was very scattered.
It is said that the sloppy are a little elevated to them, and the resistance posture can be said to be completely without a formation, and the army of 70,000 is also distinct, the army of the Batu tribe on the left is the army of the Batu tribe, and the one on the right is the Hohe tribe.
Within the alliance of the two tribes, also according to the different tribes, they were divided into dozens of small detachments.
According to the investigation of the Shenwu Guard's scouts, the elite young and middle-aged people were in the front, and the older and weaker ones were placed in the rear.
Regarding the sloppy state of the tribal alliance, Li Ke also specially discussed with Li Yuanba.
However, in Li Yuanba's opinion, there is no special shooting, because he has already learned from Yafengha:
Since the history of Luzon, there have been many wars on the island, but when they are fought, they have often existed in the form of tribes.
So, to this day, there has never been such a large-scale war on Luzon, and in the form of warfare of these tribes, it is completely thousands of people mixed together and rushing up to fight in groups.
Not to mention the elite Tang army led by Li Yuanba, even the Goguryeo soldiers who were extremely weak in front of the Tang army, they could easily deal with these natives,
Of course, this premise must be a battle of the plains, not a battle of the jungles, after all, Goguryeo did not have so many jungles.
As the saying goes, 'soldiers, tricks', no matter whether you use conspiracy or conspiracy on the battlefield, as long as you can achieve the goal, everything else is a copy.
It is also because he understands this that Li Yuanba will deliberately instruct Li Ke to let the Tang army show weakness to the local army in the previous contact battles between the two armies, so that those natives will think in their hearts: The Tang army is nothing more than this.
After that, let people deliberately reveal the Datang station to the natives, but the natives were really deceived, and they were so stupid that they gathered all the armies, ready to destroy these shameless Datang troops in one fell swoop in this beach area.
……
On the high cliff of the beach, thirty new-style Shenwu cannons were aimed at the beach below under the operation of a hundred Shenwu guards.
And not far behind those Shenwu guards, there was a dense jungle, and in the shade of the jungle, a dark green tooth tent was set up here, and there were about a hundred Shenwu guards outside the tooth tent who were responsible for guarding the security.
Inside the tooth tent, Li Yuanba, Li Su, Zhao Sanpao, Li Sanduo and Yafengha sat on both sides of the big tent, and sitting on the main seat was Li Ke, the king of Shu, who was dressed in a black suit and had a faint smile on his face.
"Fourth Emperor Uncle, your idea is really wonderful, these natives were really carried away by the previous victory and attacked!" Li Ke looked at Li Yuanba with a smile, and the smugness on the corner of his mouth became more and more serious.
Li Yuanba shrugged indifferently, and while biting the dried squid in his hand, he said vaguely: "Ke'er, do you think these natives are very smart? ”
"Uncle Four Emperors, no matter what, they have also traded with my merchants in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, so simply showing weakness to the enemy, they won't be able to see it?" Li Su still couldn't believe it.
"Do you think everyone is like you, practicing the Art of War Formation since childhood?" Li Yuanba rolled his eyes and continued: "They don't even know the most basic battle formation, they only fight endlessly every day for the interests of this acre and three points of land, how do they know how vast the outside world is? ”
"That's right, you can know by looking at their food and clothing!" Li Su touched the back of his head, and seemed to understand a little.
At this time, Zhao Sanpao took a few steps forward and said, "Your Highness, now that our army has been prepared, do you think, can we start attacking?" ”
Looking at Zhao Sanpao with a fierce face, Li Ke thought for a while and said, "The other party has already entered the established territory?" ”
"Remove the army of the Donghao tribe in the jungle, and the remaining Hohe tribe and Batu tribe coalition forces have all entered the range of the Shenwu cannon!" Zhao Sanpao knelt directly on one knee and asked: "The last general asks for an attack!" ”
Li Su subconsciously glanced at Li Yuanba and said, "Fourth Emperor Uncle, do you think it's time now?" ”
Li Yuanba picked up the wine jug and poured a sip of fruit wine, and said lazily: "See what I do?" If you want to fight, you can fight, the instructions that the fourth uncle gave you before are already the last one, and the rest is up to you! ”
When the words landed, the thing pulled out a small blanket from nowhere, covered it on its body, and fell asleep.
Li Ke and the two brothers glanced at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
But now it's ready to fly, and I have to send it.
Thinking of this, Li Su's face suddenly turned pale, and he ordered in a cold voice: "Shenwu Wei Zhonglang will Zhao Sancannon, pass on the king's order, Shenwu cannon prepare, and each will open fire!" ”
"No!"
Zhao Sanpao responded excitedly, turned around and walked out of the tooth tent.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu has an order, aim at the alliance of the two major tribes, and each of them will open fire!"
As Zhao Sanpao's order landed, the herald standing on the high place immediately waved the order flag in his hand, and ordered the Shenwu Wei gunners on the top of the cliff to shoot directly below, but three miles away, the Hohe tribe and the Batu tribe.
"Ready, put!"
The herald's red and glamorous command flag fell, and the Shenwu guard gunners behind the thirty Shenwu cannons immediately lit the new Shenwu cannons.
"Snort!"
The fuse ignited to the head, and with a deafening roar, a deafening roar resounded through the sky, and rows of shells from the extremely hot Shenwu cannon flew out of the swarthy muzzles.
At this moment, the distance between the combined forces of the two major tribes and the clifftop Divine Martial Cannon was not even three miles, and in terms of the range of the new Divine Martial Cannon, it was completely able to accurately hit them.
Besides, the army of 100,000 natives is all gathered together, and even the blind can hit them. (To be continued.) )
