Chapter 21: Ice Samurai

In the whole of the two states, there are many mountains, rivers, lakes and rivers in the south, but most of the vast plains and flat rivers in the north are flat.

Therefore, if you want to move quickly with a large army, you need to rely on a large number of warships and warships in the south, and in the north, you need to rely on a large number of warhorses and horses, which is the so-called southern ships and northern horses!

Aside from the boats and horses, if the northerners and southerners are allowed to compete on the same stage, then the number of victories and defeats on both sides must be five or five each, and it is impossible to differ too much at all.

Therefore, the southern ship and the northern horse are purely two different ways of marching, and they have nothing to do with the strength of the combat effectiveness of the army itself.

If the cavalry troops in the north wanted to cross the river to attack the south, it would be impossible for them to win without a large number of ships to transport troops.

The same is true in the south, if the southern troops want to cross the river and attack north, they can fight against the two-legged infantry and the four-legged cavalry on the northern plains, and there is basically no chance of winning at all.

Fighting from the south to the north, and because of this, he can achieve an emperor to dominate the industry, except for the destiny of heaven, there is really nothing to say.

With such a well-fated overlord, even if he is born as a beggar, he can do it casually, and in just a dozen years, he can level the whole world and establish his own dynasty.

The only special case of this kind of special case cannot be overturned at all, the ...... , the iron law of the general way of fighting.

Li Shimin took the initiative to ask Wukong for his life, personally led all the troops of Li Tang, and went directly south to destroy Nanliang, which was actually a big gamble at all.

When Li Shimin took his father, smashed the pot and sold the 300,000 warriors to join his cousin, he was directly poured a basin of ice water from head to toe by his cousin.

The Southern Army of Li Tang in the hands of cousin Li Xiao, with a total of 200,000 elite warriors, if they join forces with the 300,000 troops brought by Li Shimin and go down the river to Jiangling together, they can easily trample the entire Jiangling to the ground.

However, Li Xiaofeng has been operating in the south for more than a year, but he can only defend passively, and he has no ability to counterattack Nanliang at all, let alone the slightest ability, he can transport the entire 500,000 warriors to Jiangling City!

This is not because Li Xiaofeng is incompetent, but because shipbuilding and army building are not at all something that can be completed quickly in just one year.

Therefore, when Li Shimin learned that Li Xiaofeng only had more than 1,000 warships in his hand at this moment, and at most he could only transport more than 100,000 people to Jiangling City, Li Shimin almost fainted directly on the spot.

However, the iron law of the south ship and the north horse is like a mountain in front of Li Shimin, no boat is no boat, Li Shimin can't let his three or four hundred thousand people swim to Jiangling City together, right?

Therefore, although Li Shimin had arrived in Kuizhou City more than ten days ago, he could only look at the river and lament every day, and it was difficult to move an inch in the majestic Kuizhou City.

If Li Shimin can't lead the troops to take down Jiangling and provoke Xiao Xian in the past month, then he will completely become a joke, and he will never have to think about stretching the strong and world-swallowing pride in his heart!

However, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the current situation is that there is no boat to cross, what good way does Li Shimin have?

Eh, the so-called endless road, Li Shimin wandered around the river all day long, and he really found a solution against the sky!

On the day when Wukong led his troops to Yuzhang City, Li Shimin led his three hundred dragoons to the riverside and sighed for a long time.

When passing by a small lake, he suddenly felt a biting cold air, so he followed the cold air and curiously led the troops to look for it.

When he arrived at Xiaohu, Li Shimin and all the guards beside him were immediately completely stunned by the scene in front of him.

I saw that the small southern lake in front of them, which was a hundred miles in radius, seemed to be like a giant round mirror, and all of it was firmly frozen by the thick layer of ice!

Thousands of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Tang Army are happily holding a lively ice skating competition on this ice lake.

As soon as he saw this scene, Li Shimin, who was already in an irritable mood, was immediately half angry.

Then, he took his three hundred personal guards and rushed directly down the ice lake, and put those miscellaneous soldiers who left their posts without permission, yes, these thousands of people are all engineers at the bottom of the Tang army, and basically they don't have the slightest combat effectiveness, calling these people miscellaneous soldiers, they are all lifting them.

Not only that, but this group of people is obviously a bunch of recruits, and they may not even see what the battlefield is like.

After Li Shimin led people to surround the group of people, he immediately sent people to call the leaders of the group to his face.

The leading people, after knowing the identities of Li Shimin and others, immediately knelt in front of Li Shimin crying and crying, and then kowtowed to Li Shimin and begged for mercy with tears in their eyes.

In order to show his fairness and generosity, Li Shimin asked the leaders to explain why they left their posts without permission and held an ice skating competition on this strange ice lake.

Originally, Li Shimin just planned that after these recruits finished speaking, he would directly execute all these people in accordance with military law to set an example.

However, with the slow narration of those people, Li Shimin almost didn't, and fainted directly on the spot.

It turned out that these people were all from a village in the north, all of them were people of the same clan, and in order to organize the army to go south, the Tang army transferred a large number of men from all over the country, and this group of people was very unlucky to be forcibly captured into the Tang army.

They came all the way from the north to Kuizhou City, but they didn't take any action for a long time, and these people came to the south for the first time, but they were trapped in the barracks all day long, and they didn't have anything to do.

Therefore, this group of people took a day's time, collectively said goodbye to the above, came to this small lake together, and used their chicken rib ability to freeze the entire small lake, and then happily held an ice skating competition.

That's right, this ice lake is not naturally formed at all, but these newly enlisted Tang Army engineers, with the strength of only five people, completely froze it!

Therefore, when Li Shimin knew that these people in front of him actually had super terrifying power that could easily freeze dozens of miles of water with the help of ancestral demon soldiers, he knew...... , I have been waiting for many days for a turnaround, and finally all of a sudden, it appeared in front of my eyes.

So, without saying a word, Li Shimin immediately accepted all these ice warriors, who were purely waste miscellaneous soldiers in the north, as his own guards.

The ability of the Ice Warriors is very special, and they can only use their hands to touch the water to exert their terrifying power that has been frozen for dozens of miles.

If you can't touch the water with your own hands, then you won't be able to use the power of the Ice Samurai at all.

In the north of Yima Pingchuan, these frozen warriors are actually very miserable, because their ability is basically useless except for making some ice cubes for the nobles to relieve the heat in the summer, in exchange for money to live.

If you can't touch blood, the Ice Warrior can't kill anyone at all, but even if a Demon Scorpion Warrior is injured, even if these Ice Warriors are hundreds of people, they can't get close at all, and they can only be sent to death.

Therefore, in the north, these ice warriors are simply a bunch of ordinary ice-making people, not even samurai.

However, now the 500,000 Tang army is precisely in the south, where the lake is full of stars and the waterways are crisscrossed!

Therefore, when Li Shimin knew the terrifying ability of these ice warriors, he already knew in his heart that the upcoming battle to destroy Nanliang would be launched, and he would ...... It's definitely a win!
