Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shen's glass products became a hit once they were sold in the boutique pavilion, and the first people to bear the brunt were the aristocrats and noble families of Chang'an.

Li Shen not only makes mirrors, but also a lot of accessories, such as jewelry accessories, craft accessories, tableware and tea sets, etc.

It's just that the price is not very close to the people. Every price is in units of dollars, so ordinary people can only stop at it.

Li Shen's consistent purpose is to make money from rich people. It is not easy for ordinary people to make some money.

Businessmen from all over the country also came here after hearing the news. Although the price is a little more expensive, if it is shipped to a farther place, it can be sold at a price several times or ten times higher, which is a huge profit.

This is especially true for businessmen who travel to the Western Regions all year round or who are from the Western Regions themselves.

Li Shen gained a lot of wealth in half a month, and the cost of glass itself was very low, and this trend was slowly spreading throughout the Tang Dynasty.

-----La la la la------

At the northernmost border of Khitan and Shiwei, a force of tens of thousands of troops was stationed here.

"General, the scouts are here to report that there is a large group of troops fifty miles northeast. They should be the Xue Yantuo cavalry we are waiting for."

"finally come."

The person who spoke was none other than Hou Junji. He was ordered to intercept and kill Xue Yantuo's troops to reinforce Goguryeo, but he had to wait for two months.

Xue Yantuo's troops did not dare to go to the Khitan territory because the Khitan had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, so they had to borrow a road from Shiwei's territory.

"Send the order, assemble immediately, march the entire army to the northwest at full speed, and stop them in front." Hou Junji immediately ordered.

This is his first battle in two years of being idle at home, so he must do it neatly and beautifully.

"Follow the order." The deputy general went out to make arrangements after receiving the order.

There are many plains in the north, which are completely white after the snow. Xue Yantuo's team moved forward against the cold wind.

Fortunately, the snow was not very deep, otherwise their horses would have had a harder time walking.

"In thirty miles, chief, we will be able to cross Shiwei and reach our territory."

"Well, we can finally go home. Let the team speed up and try to pass through Shiwei before evening." The leader said.

Suddenly several fast horses galloped up ahead.

"It's our scout."

As soon as he finished speaking, he arrived in front of him.

"Chief, there is a Tang army in front, about 5 to [-] people, rushing towards us." The scout reported breathlessly.

Before he could finish speaking, he felt the earth shaking, and a black mass of people and horses in the distance came over like a dark cloud.

"Prepare to fight."

Hou Junji had no choice. This place was unobstructed and flat, with no place for an ambush.

Only some hills can block the distant view, but you can still see it up close.

Therefore, Hou Junji could only use the most direct method to kill him.

Anyway, the equipment on our side is better than the other side.

When the two armies meet, there is no bloody battle to fend off the enemy, nor is there any fight between the two armies.

It’s just one word ‘gan’

Hou Junji's charge was very fast, giving Xue Yantuo no chance to react. After a wave of arrows, the cavalry directly hit them.

Wherever they passed, people fell on their backs, and the Xueyantuo people did not show any weakness. They took advantage of the large number of cavalry and directly carried the Tang cavalry.

The infantry behind Datang followed closely behind, with swords and shields in front, and spearmen in the back. The front row blocked the cavalry attack, and the rear row stabbed people and horses randomly.

No tactics, no strategy. What both sides are fighting for is equipment and momentum. The fight is about who is more ruthless and who is not afraid of death.

This is the real battlefield, this is the real war.

The forces of both sides were equal, and 10 men and horses were finally mixed together. There were screams and roars everywhere.

The two armies fought for more than an hour. Finally, after Hou Junji chopped off the head of leader Xueyantuo with a sword, the Xueyantuo people began to collapse.

Hou Junji pursued him with full force. He needed a beautiful victory to restore his status and glory.

A man has a breath, and so does an army. It is full of energy, and then it weakens, and three times it is exhausted.

After fighting for more than an hour, the soldiers relied solely on their morale to support them. Now that their leader was killed, their morale drained away just like ordinary people.

In order to achieve a great victory, Hou Junji chased Xue Yantuo for half an hour before returning.

"Lieutenant general, count the results of the battle, keep an eye on the prisoners, and clean the battlefield. Send out all the scouts, pay attention to Xue Yantuo's movements, and tell the soldiers to move quickly. This place is less than thirty miles away from Xue Yantuo.

We need to return to Khitan territory as soon as possible. We have enough beef and mutton today. "

Beef and mutton are a reward for soldiers and a motivation to support their work.

After more than an hour and more than two hours of continuous hacking, I was already exhausted. Now I am counting on this beef and mutton to make pancakes to satisfy my hunger.

The soldiers began to clean the battlefield. The first thing was military honors. Everyone began to cut off their ears. Each left ear represented a head.

Every team, every gang, and every regiment must be reckoned with at the place where they fought. It doesn't mean that if you just pick them up casually and pretend to take military merit, you will be beheaded.

The one with the most heads in a team is the MVP, but there are many sword and shield soldiers in the team who are responsible for defense, so the team leader must also report the contribution of the auxiliary.

Tens of thousands of people cleaned the battlefield very quickly, and the team began to form after more than half an hour.

"General, the rough results of the battle have been calculated." the deputy general reported.

"Say" Hou Junji said sitting on a big rock. He was also exhausted.

"A rough calculation shows that more than 1 enemies were killed and more than [-] people were captured. There were more than [-] war horses and more than [-] pieces of weapons and equipment."

"You mean more than [-] people escaped?" Hou Junji was still not satisfied with the result.

"What about our casualties?" Hou Junji asked again.

"Back to General, we have over [-] dead and over [-] injured."

Hou Junji was quite satisfied with the results of this battle. After all, the 5 people he brought this time had weapons and equipment several times better than Xue Yantuo's.

Datang's success relied on advanced metallurgical technology.

At the beginning, Li Ji had only 20 soldiers and horses, and he chased Xue Yantuo's 5 horses. In the end, he killed [-] enemies and captured [-] people. He relied on the excellent weapons and equipment.

When Li Shen heard this, it was like hearing a fairy tale.

"Send the order to escort the prisoners and supplies back to the camp. The bodies of our soldiers must also be transported back. Since they came with me, I, the general, will take them back."

This is also a way for Hou Junji to win people's hearts. Although he will no longer be able to lead these soldiers after returning, his deeds will spread among the army and increase his glorious image in the army.

"Following the order," the deputy general began to go out to assemble the army, and the bodies of all the fallen soldiers were tied to their horses. There are also some weapons and equipment.

The large army set off and slowly marched towards the camp on the Khitan border.

At night, Hou Junji was writing a memorial in the big tent. The task had been completed. He needed to write the details in a memorial and report it to Li Shimin, waiting for Li Shimin's next order.

It doesn't mean that if you win the battle, you can go back. This requires Li Shimin to issue an order before you can go back. The mobilization of the army must be based on Li Shimin's will.

(Writing about battlefields is not my strong point. My strong points are all recorded in the notes when posting. So I don’t have to worry too much about writing.)
