Valley Emperor

However, the old Qianhu of the Mouse Beard heard the muttering of Lord Long, but he deeply agreed, and immediately said: "What the Lord said is very true, if Song Zhiwen did not let the pseudo-Tang bandit army sit on the throne, how could there be today's thief army? crisis.

If it wasn't for Song Zhiwen's concealment and underreporting of the situation of the pseudo-Tang bandit army, and the fact that the pseudo-Tang bandit army was not only sharp in firearms, but also extremely strong in cavalry, my Master Wang would be able to make arrangements in advance today, and it would be all in one battle! "

"If it wasn't for Song Zhiwen, there would not be today's disastrous defeat of the Thousand Horsemen. If it wasn't for Song Zhiwen, there would be no crisis like today!"

The 1,500 cavalry soldiers, who had been placed in high hopes by the senior generals of the Ming army, have been defeated twice in a row, and they are now being driven to the north. In other words, there is no way to inflict heavy damage on the Pseudo-Tang bandit army, and then help the infantry to win this battle.

Moreover, the Ming army in Tonggu Weicheng has also been defeated, and the remnants are fleeing back to Tonggu Weicheng, and they have completely lost their commanding flag. Many senior generals who accompanied Qiu Yu to charge are either dead or injured, even the main general Qiu Yu is alive or dead. Do not know at all.

The infantry of the Pseudo-Tang Thief Army is not easy to fight. It is very unlikely that the infantry will win, and it is very likely to suffer a fiasco.

What's more, the disastrous defeat of the cavalry unit will greatly shake the morale of the army. how is this possible!

In such a situation, it is not so easy for them to want to win this battle.

In such a situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a crisis!

And who is to blame for all this?

It seems that the pseudo-Tang bandit army is too strong, which seems unreliable.

Blame yourself for being so incompetent? How is it possible that they are all geniuses with unparalleled abilities, how could it be that they are too incompetent?

The strange soldiers are too **** and not very good. To be honest, the Ming army actually fought quite well in this battle. After all, nearly half of the more than 20,000 of them were temporarily recruited. The young men and civilians who came, the guardsmen and the recruits who could really fight in battle, were in the early 10,000s!

On the opposite side, there are not a lot of pseudo-Tang thieves at all. The number of pseudo-Tang thieves on the entire battlefield is as high as 10,000, and the pseudo-Tang thieves also have the advantage of firearms.

It is not easy to be able to fight with sound and color until now, and the main force of the infantry has not collapsed.

Even if the cavalry was defeated, it cannot be said that the cavalry was too useless. After all, the senior generals of the Ming army knew that their own cavalry was a temporary patchwork, and their combat effectiveness was actually limited. It is even more powerful, and even the cavalry is unparalleled in combat power. The rout of the cavalry can only be inferior to others.

Therefore, it is extremely irresponsible to blame the soldiers of the whole army, and it is even a practice of pushing responsibility!

Since ancient times, there have been few generals who would put the blame on ordinary soldiers after losing a battle.

If so, who else can they blame?

Do you blame Zhu Zhihai for calling them south?

What a joke, he is the immediate boss, and Zhu Zhihai never let them go south ahead of time. Zhu Zhihai wanted to let the main force from the provincial capital, and then come to attack from the north and the south. Seeing the opportunity to defeat the main force of the pseudo-Tang thief army, I want to come to one who has done their best in one battle and made great contributions.

So Zhu Zhihai can not blame!

So counting down, they can only blame Song Zhiwen, who let the pseudo-Tang thief army emerge from the Xingquan mansion under his rule, even if Song Zhiwen has thousands of reasons, he can't be dismissed. responsibility on the body.

Today's Song Zhiwen is like a trash can. Any bad things related to the pseudo-Tang bandit army can be thrown at him.

Although Mr. Long said that his body was unstable, his standing was unsteady, and the cavalry, who had been hoped by the senior generals of the Ming army, also fled north and did not know where to go.

But today the battle is still not over!

The cavalry confrontation between the two sides is only a part of today's massive strategic battle. Although it is more important, it is only a part of this battle.

Tens of thousands of soldiers from both sides were still fighting outside the Bronze Drum Fortress!

The infantry phalanxes of the new Tang Dynasty adopted a standard six-column formation. The musketeers and spearmen were matched with each other, and the battalion guns, archers, and sword and shield soldiers provided auxiliary support. These infantry phalanxes gathered dozens of meters or more than a hundred. Meters vary, forming a long front to fight against the Ming army.

The Ming army is also fighting with a dense phalanx of infantry!

In today's large-scale strategic decisive battle, it is impossible to say an order, and the entire army will rush up and fight hand-to-hand. Even though this battle has broken out for a long time today, in fact, the fronts of the two sides are still the same. Still intact, and most of them still maintain a certain distance.

At this time, after expelling the Ming army cavalry, Li Xuan finally felt relieved, and he was ready to transfer the Chinese army to the front line to support Hao Bainian's vanguard.

Before, he kept so many Chinese troops on the two flanks in order to guard against the attack of the Ming cavalry. Now that the Ming cavalry had been defeated, he was finally able to dispatch the Chinese troops to support Hao Bainian.

You must know that Hao Bainian's forward troops have been under great pressure so far. Before the war, his three infantry regiments totaled 6,000 people, and they needed to withstand the 3,000 Ming troops from the Tongguwei City and the 20,000 more Ming troops from the north at the same time. The attack of the main force of the army.

The troops of the Central Army were scattered on the east and southwest sides of the Bronze Drum Fortress, in order to guard against the enemy cavalry and protect the front and rear of the main force.

Now, Li Xuan is finally able to lead the relocation of the Chinese army and support the vanguard troops. With the addition of the Chinese army, it can not only effectively reduce the pressure on Hao Bainian's troops, but also has the potential to completely overwhelm the 20,000-strong Ming army. More main force, thus completely laying the victory of this battle.

Li Xuan, who was riding on a horse, once again looked around the entire battlefield, observed every corner of the battlefield, and considered where he should lead the Chinese troops to enter the battlefield to gain the greatest advantage.

And at this time, Li Xuan looked a little tall in the eyes of the outside world!

The horse Li Xuan was riding was a tall and handsome brown warhorse. Its shoulder height reached 1.4 meters, which is rarely seen in the southwest region. If there is no accident, this horse should be a horse from Central Asia. I don’t know why. After traveling to Xingquan Mansion, he finally became Li Xuan's mount.

Even in the entire Tang Dynasty, it is difficult to find a second such a tall cavalry military horse. Unfortunately, this horse is a stallion that has been trended. Otherwise, it can be used to improve the local horse breeds in the southwest and cultivate it. Tall war horse.

Li Xuan on horseback is wearing a black cloak embroidered with gold threads. Inside, he wears a dark blue general officer's uniform. The copper buttons on his uniform are gold buttons. At the same time, the cuffs on the military uniform do not have the horizontal stripes representing the military rank, but are embroidered with a unique dragon pattern, and the collar is the yellow of the military uniform of the generals.

At the same time, he was also wearing long leather boots, black leather gloves in his hands, and a three-foot long sword with a golden hilt attached to his waist!

The sun shines on him, allowing people to see his straight body on horseback. Looking from the direction of Zeng Ziwen and others, Li Xuan seems to be in the light, which is a little dazzling.

In fact, they also took care of Li Xuan's dressing up, and he would not have any special feelings on weekdays, but today, especially after the cavalry of the Ming army was defeated, Li Xuan looked different from before.

But what is the difference in the specific details, in fact, it is not, Li Xuan is still the same Li Xuan!

The only difference is that their mood towards Li Xuan has changed, which is why they feel that today's Li Xuan is different. He seems to be a lot taller and a lot bigger. Maybe this person is really Liu Ba. As Gou Tiantian said, he was an eternal sage. Otherwise, how could he lead them from a family-like mountain valley to a situation where today there are 10,000 troops, and even 20,000 court officers and soldiers can be defeated!

Li Xuan, who can do these things, may really be a saint of the ages!

Zeng Ziwen looked at Li Xuan, and then looked at the battlefield where his own side clearly had the upper hand and even took the initiative. An idea that had never occurred before appeared in his mind:

Maybe, maybe, maybe, they, the Valley Dynasty, really have a chance to defeat the Ming army and rule the world!

In the past, Zeng Ziwen at most thought that by virtue of the advantages of firearms, the Datang Dynasty was able to count the provinces and even separate one side.

And being able to separate one side for a long time is already the greatest possibility that Zeng Ziwen could imagine before!

And that's it, he also thinks it's impossible, otherwise it's a fantasy, what can't be realized is a fantasy!

He has always believed that the Tang Dynasty has a great possibility of occupying several prefectures and counties in a short period of one or two years.

There is a small possibility to occupy more prefectures and counties, and even develop to the three surrounding provinces, and the soldiers can even reach the hinterland of Huguang.

But this basically came to an end, because at that time, the Ming Dynasty had basically reacted, and then the whole country was assembled to encircle and suppress the Tang Dynasty.

Next, it's a matter of how long it can last.

Maybe a few months, maybe a few years!

But in the end, there is no escape from being suppressed, encircled and destroyed!

However, today's battle has given him such a chance to dominate the world. He thought, if there are more than ten or two hundred thousand troops like the one in front of him, then it would be impossible to dominate the world!

If there are 300,000 to 500,000, it is safe to seize the world and become the Lord of Shenzhou!

The question is, how to turn the ten thousand people in front of you into ten or two hundred thousand, or even three or five million!

This problem seems to be just a magnification problem, but in fact it is not the case. When the army changes from 10,000 to 100,000 people, the difficulties and troubles it faces are far more than tenfold, but a hundredfold.

Leading so many troops, where are the officers? Especially a large number of low-level officers!

Equipped with so many troops, how come guns and artillery? How to solve the ammunition?

These are not simple problems, and the difficulty factor is a hundred times or even a thousand times more difficult than the armed ten thousand people in front of them.

When Zeng Ziwen was thinking about this, Li Xuan also issued an order to let the Chinese commandos march!
