"You can be regarded as appearing, we thought that you were besieged by the lords of Goryeo, and we were afraid that you would be wiped out."

The other lords had already entered the Tang Army's camp, and at this time they all came over to inquire about Chu Tian's situation.

The Tang army prepared a vacant camp in advance, and the lord could camp directly.

Lao Qin, who served as the leader of the alliance, also deliberately patted Chu Tian on the shoulder: "Yes, you are now ranked first in the national war, and you must have killed and injured a lot of Goryeo soldiers." ”

The ranking is obvious to all, and the higher the points, the greater the contribution to the national war.

"The Goryeo lords I encountered are not particularly powerful, but I can't underestimate them, these Goryeo lords will cooperate with each other when they are outside."

Chutian gave a detailed account of the army of the Goryeo lord he encountered.

He was one of the few people who had fought against the lords of Goryeo so far.

During this period, other lords and guilds belonging to the Second Legion led by him reported to Chutian, a total of 25,000 people.

This group of lords included Prince Yan, the lord of Liaoxi, Tian Qi, the lord of the Plains, Dahu, the lord of Jiuyuan, Gongzi Wen, the lord of Dongjun, and others.

Among the guild presidents is Xue Yue, who Chu Tian knows, leading a team of 500 free players, which is equivalent to a mid-to-high-level class.

However, free-player squads lack discipline and don't actually work well.

"Liaodong is the territory of our Eastern Han District. The Sui and Tang dynasties devoted themselves to the destruction of Goguryeo in order to recover Liaodong and solve the threat posed by Goguryeo. ”

Chutian looked at the slightly gloomy sky, not far away was the city of Anshi, which was held by the Goguryeo army, and the Tang army's goal was to recover this city in Liaodong.

"Legion Commander, this time we entrust our lives to you."

The Lord of Jiuyuan, Dahu, touched his bare head, and the eight hundred Bingzhou cavalry he brought was considered the elite of the light cavalry. Although it can't be compared with Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry, it is enough to be proud of all the lords' cavalry.

Facing the eyes of many Second Legion Lords and Guild Leaders, Chu Tian could only do his best.

"There were two phases in the battle of Anshi Castle. The first stage was to destroy the Goguryeo reinforcements located south of the gorge, with a total of 1.5 million men, as well as some of the troops and horses of the Goryeo lords. ”

"The second stage is the capture of the fortified Anseong Fortress, the number of defenders of Anseong Fortress is unknown, and the strength of the Goryeo lords is unknown."

Lao Qin marked two important locations on the map.

"1.5 million people ......"

All the lords of the Eastern Han region were shocked when they heard that the Goguryeo army was so large.

Not to mention 1.5 million people, it's 1.5 million pigs......

"Don't worry, the number of the Tang army has also expanded tenfold, and the equipment and rank of the Tang army are not comparable to Goguryeo. What is more troublesome is, how to get Li Shimin to change tactics? The lord of Goryeo already knew what tactics Li Shimin would use, and according to the original tactics, he would definitely fail. ”

Lao Qin mentioned one of the most difficult problems.

The lords of both the Eastern Han and Goryeo districts now know the process of the battle of Anseong. If you want to win, you have to change tactics.

The commander of the Tang army was none other than Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

It wasn't the player lord who really made the decision, the lord managed to convince Li Shimin to use his own strategy.

Of course, if the tactics proposed by the lord don't make sense, Li Shimin will directly deny it.

"If there is a suitable tactic, maybe I can send a military advisor to persuade Li Shimin."

Chu Tian thought of Fang Xuanling.

The young Fang Xuanling was Chu Tian's subordinate. At this time, Li Shimin defaulted to not knowing the historical generals carried by the player.

But Fang Xuanling can become Li Shimin's army, and the phase should be compatible, send Fang Xuanling to admonish, if the lord's suggestion is appropriate, Li Shimin will most likely refer to it.

The other lords didn't know why Chu Tian was so confident, and still chose to believe in Chu Tian. Chu Tian shouldn't be open-mouthed.

Lao Qin continued to deploy: "The difficulty in the battle of Anshi City is not to defeat the 1.5 million army of Goguryeo and Jinya, but to capture Anshi City within three months. Historically, the Tang army ordered a retreat because of the impregnable city of Anshi, plus food, weather and other reasons. Therefore, we must deploy the siege at the same time as the reinforcements. For Li Shimin, even if we can't take Anshi City, it's okay, with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, we can defeat Goguryeo sooner or later, but for us, if we can't capture Anshi City in three months, we will lose. This is the second difficulty. ”

"The method of siege is nothing more than the manufacture of siege equipment, the piling up of earth and mountains, siege, water attack, fire attack, digging the ground and other methods. The best way to capture Anshi Castle is to pile up the dirt mountain. As long as the earth mountain is higher than the walls of Anshi Castle, you can see the reality of the castle. ”

Lao Qin's idea was ruthless enough, and he piled up a dirt mountain under the city of Anshi to peek at the defenders in the city.

"Not just one dirt mountain, but four earth mountains at the same time, build a large number of siege equipment, and then capture Anshi Castle in one go. To do this, it is also necessary to convince Tang Taizong Li Shimin. ”

It is another task to persuade Li Shimin......

"In short, let's discuss all the tactics as soon as possible, and then hand it over to Brother Chu to see if we can convince Tang Taizong Li Shimin."

Chu Tian's subordinate Fang Xuanling has become the hope of the lord of the Eastern Han District.

The Eastern Han camp, which was supported by the Tang Army, was much better than the Eastern Han lords fighting alone.

I hope I can move Li Shimin.

Chu Tian could only bite the bullet.

The group of lords gathered around the campfire in the camp and discussed tactics for a night, and Chu Tian went to lobby Li Shimin the next day.

Chu Tian's second army was in the same camp, and this camp was not garrisoned by the Tang army, and was completely defended by the lord.

Chutian arranged a lord and a guild as a group to patrol to prevent the defenders of Anshi City from going out of the city to attack at night.

The camp of the Second Legion had more than a dozen wooden arrow towers, as well as wooden walls, and was somewhat lacking in defense.

However, the defenders of Anshi City shrank and the possibility of a night attack out of the city was not high.

Despite this, Chutian still strictly armed.

Mulan led a team of soldiers to patrol outside the tent in Xia City, and after the daytime battle, she was still in good spirits.

"There are other lords' soldiers and horses patrolling tonight, you can go in and rest."

Chu Tian was afraid that Mulan would be tired.

"Subordinates don't worry about ......"

"Trust our teammates. Also, here's the order! ”

Chu Tian deliberately kept a straight face and scolded Mulan.

"Yes."

Mulan then returned to her tent to rest.

Chu Tian found that when Yan Yuese talked to Hua Mulan about things, she would sometimes be very stubborn, and she would only be soft when she was tough.

It's strange to be a woman.

Chu Tian returned to his tent and took off his armor, suddenly feeling more relaxed.

This kind of heavy armor is simply deadly, and if you don't wear it, you can't do it, and you can easily be shot by stray arrows.

In the Goguryeo camp, fifty lords were assembled, and fifty lords were in the city of Anshi.

The lord who was almost captured by Chutian returned, and the morale of the lord of Goryeo was greatly damaged.

At the beginning of the national war, the opponent crippled a lord, and this lord and his soldiers basically lost the ability to go into battle.

Although for the large Goguryeo army, it would not hurt to lose the strength of one or two lords.

"The one who attacked you was the first lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty, I just want to farm well, according to intelligence, he may have more than two historical generals, so you are not unjustly lost. And no one will blame you. ”

Jiang Fat, the commander of the Jeonju Legion of the Goryeo Kingdom, faced the losses of his subordinates, and did not blame too much, but wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.

"The first lord of the Eastern Han District, how do you know?"

"It's very simple, we can see the rankings of the two camps, and you have given a lot of battle exploits to the first lord of the Eastern Han District in vain. A failure is a failure, and there are so many excuses. ”

Choi Jae-sun, the commander of the Northern Frontier Legion, walked over with a group of lords who supported him, with a little contempt in his eyes.

Because of this defeated lord, the lord of the Eastern Han District, "I just want to farm well", has gained more than 3,000 battle merits.

The defeated lord bowed his head, and the first defeat in the national war was a blow to all the lords of the Goryeo Kingdom.

Jiang Pang spoke for his subordinates: "The strength of the Eastern Han District is better than ours, their first lord is stronger than our alliance leader Li Minzhe, and defeat is a normal thing." The top priority at the moment is to relieve the siege of Anshi as soon as possible. ”

"In ancient times, defeat was to be beheaded in front of the whole army. My words have been merciful. The next battle with the Eastern Han Dynasty, wash away the shame with your blood. ”

Choi Jae-sun's severity frightened many lords of Goryeo.

However, Jiang Pang of the Jeonju Legion, which is located in the south of Goryeo, did not agree with his approach: "Choi Jae-sun, this is a lord under my jurisdiction, and you have no right to dispose of him." ”

Choi Jae-sun snorted coldly: "I don't plan to deal with a defeated general." The two generals of Goguryeo, Gao Yanshou and Gao Hye-jin. As long as they follow my tactics, this battle can be won. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Prepare for the battle, consume the Tang army, so that they have no intention of attacking the city."

The next day, before asking to see Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Chu Tian took the lead in going to the quartermaster of the Tang army to receive supplies.

"Each person can receive up to 5 medium arrows, 50 inferior arrows, a Tang knife, and a spear every month. Tang knives need to be rolled before they can be replaced, and food is supplied according to the number of people. ”

The quartermaster of the Tang Army explained the rules to Chu Tian, the so-called medium arrows were silver-grade arrows, and the inferior arrows were bronze-level arrows.

It is impossible for the Tang army to provide unlimited supplies, and the monthly supplies are limited, and the lords need to pay attention to them.

When Chu Tian heard that there was a Tang knife that could be exchanged, he couldn't help but move.

The Tang knife is covered with wrought iron, with hundreds of steels in the middle, and part of the blade is covered with soil and burns the blade, which can be split and cut through the light armor, and the tip of the blade can be broken and pierced the armor, which is a lot of progress compared with the ring head knife in the Han Dynasty.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the armor of cavalry and infantry became more and more sophisticated, and heavy cavalry was rampant, so the Tang sword, which became a melee weapon, must have good armor-piercing ability.

Only the Tang Dynasty at that time could equip soldiers with Tang knives on a large scale.

It is said that the Tang sword also influenced the Toei katana.

Mulan's Han knife had already been curled in yesterday's battle, and Chu Tian helped her ask for a Tang knife.

This Tang knife is also a straight blade, and the shape is more beautiful.

Chu Tian pulled out half of the blade.

[Name]: Standard Tang horizontal knife

[Quality]: Silver level

[Effect]: Attack +3, with a certain armor-piercing ability, and the armor-piercing probability increases slightly

[Description]: Produced by Tang Zhenguan for 16 years

"Good knives."

Chu Tian stroked the blade with his fingers, and a chill came from his fingertips.

The soldiers of Xia Cheng generally used bronze-level ring-head swords, and the Tang army generally used silver-level weapons, but in the final analysis, Chutian still had no money.

The quartermaster reminded: "Military merit can be exchanged for armaments and supplies from me." ”

Chu Tian learned that he could change weapons and armor, and he had an idea.

You don't have to spend money to get a magic weapon......

"A medium arrow has 1 point of military merit, a standard Tang knife has 30 points of military merit, and a high-quality Tang knife has 300 military merits to 30,000 military merits. There are also war horses, an ordinary war horse has 200 military merits, and Turkic war horses range from 500 military merits to 50,000 military merits. ”

The quartermaster took stock of the rewards that could be exchanged for military merits directly, a good knife and a BMW, and it turned out to cost tens of thousands of military merits.

"You pick a knife."

Chutian asked Mulan to choose a suitable Tang knife, and then asked Li Guang to choose a Turkic horse.

"Tang Hui Yao" records that the Turkic horse has excellent skills and a good fit of muscles and bones. Every year, the Tang Dynasty bartered horses and obtained three or four thousand to fourteen thousand Turkic horses. Therefore, there was no shortage of good horses in the Tang Dynasty.

can exchange military merits for horses, Chu Tian thinks it is quite cost-effective.

Among more than a dozen Tang knives, Mulan chose a cold-looking Tang knife, with a blade about one meter long and 500 military merits.

Li Guang picked a brown Turkic horse and consumed 700 military merits.

"Lord, I still want it."

"What more do you want?"

"Horse lance."

Mulan pointed to a horse lance about eight feet long.

"You can just take it."

Seeing that there were not many military merits left, Chu Tian broke the jar and broke it, so he simply changed a sharp horse lance to Hua Mulan, spending 1,000 military merits.

For generals who charge into formation, their weapons and horses are particularly crucial, and can even affect life and death.

The consumption of military merits does not affect the ranking, and the ranking records all the military merits obtained in the national war.

Hua Mulan seems to be very satisfied with Tang Dao and Ma Lance, and she can't put it down. Her age is also very close to the Tang Dynasty, and the weapons used should not be far behind.

Li Guang immediately mounted his Turkic horse and slipped around proudly.

Chu Tian recruited the archers of the Shooting Battalion to come to the Tang Army Camp to receive arrows.

"Next, it's time to go to Tang Taizong Li Shimin, I hope he is willing to see me and Fang Xuanling."

Chu Tian took Fang Xuanling and went to communicate with Tang Taizong.

Theoretically, Tang Taizong would not easily cut down the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty, otherwise it would be self-destruction of the Great Wall, and no one would dare to participate in the national war.

Tang Taizong's military camp was located in the middle of dozens of Tang army camps, guarded by male soldiers.

Chu Tian casually glanced at the Tang cavalry guarding them.

[Name]: Datang Baiqi

[Level]: Level 100

[Description]: Tang Taizong selected flying horsemen and horses, and formed a hundred horsemen to be the guards of the horse.

Chu Tian saw that this cavalry was already at full level, and it was obviously experienced in a hundred battles, and it was an elite division in the southern and northern wars.

With such a cavalry to protect Li Shimin, it is estimated that thousands of people from the other side will be defeated.

"On behalf of the Inhuman Lord, I ask to see His Majesty the Emperor."

Chu Tian didn't bring any weapons, and only brought Fang Xuanling to ask for a meeting.

It's useless to bring weapons, with Chutian's bit of force, let alone a hundred horsemen, even if he is fifty and knows the destiny of heaven, he can't beat him.
