Chapter 138: Exchange Datang Equipment (10,000 Balls)(1/2)
"You have appeared. We thought you were being besieged by the Goryeo lords and were afraid that your entire army would be annihilated."
The other lords had already entered the Tang army's camp and came over to ask about Chu Tian's situation.
The Tang army prepared vacant camps in advance, and the lords could camp directly.
Jiujiu Lao Qin, who serves as the leader of the alliance, even patted Chu Tian on the shoulder: "Yes, you are now ranked first in the national war. You must have killed a lot of Korean soldiers."
The rankings are obvious to all. The higher the points, the greater the contribution to the national war.
"The Goryeo lords I encountered are not particularly powerful, but they cannot be underestimated. This group of Goryeo lords will cooperate with each other when dealing with the outside world."
Chu Tian explained in detail the situation of the army of the Goryeo lord encountered.
He is one of the few people who has fought against the Goryeo lords 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 Pingyuan, Dahu, the lord of Jiuyuan, Gongzi Wen, the lord of East County, and others.
Among the guild leaders was Xue Yue, whom Chu Tian knew, who led a team of 500 free players, which was equivalent to a mid-to-high-level unit.
However, the free player team lacks discipline and may not actually be easy to use.
"Liaodong is the territory of our Eastern Han Dynasty. The Sui and Tang dynasties devoted themselves to the destruction of Goguryeo in order to recover Liaodong and resolve the threat posed by Goguryeo."
Chutian looked at the slightly gloomy sky. Not far away was Anshi City, where the Goguryeo army was defending. The Tang army's goal was to regain this city in Liaodong.
"Legion Commander, our lives are entrusted to you this time."
Lord Dahu of Jiuyuan touched his bald head. The eight hundred Bingzhou cavalry he brought were considered the elite of the light cavalry. Although they were not comparable to Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry, they were proud of themselves among all the lord's cavalry.
Facing the eyes of many Second Legion lords and guild presidents, Chu Tian could only do his best.
"The Battle of Anshi City has two stages. The first stage is to eliminate the Goguryeo reinforcements located in the south of the canyon. There are a total of 1.5 million people, as well as some troops of the Goguryeo lords."
"The second stage is to capture the fortified Ansi City. The number of Anshi City defenders 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 in the Eastern Han Dynasty were shocked when they heard the huge scale of the Goguryeo army.
Not to mention 1.5 million people, just 1.5 million pigs...
"Don't worry, the number of the Tang army has also expanded ten times, and the equipment and level of the Tang army are not comparable to Goguryeo. The more troublesome thing is, how to make Li Shimin change his tactics? The Goguryeo lords already know what tactics Li Shimin will use. According to
The original tactic will definitely fail."
Lao Qin mentioned one of the most difficult issues.
Both the lords of the Eastern Han District and the Goryeo District now know the process of the Battle of Anshi City. If you want to win, you must change your tactics.
The commander-in-chief of the Tang army was none other than Tang Taizong Li Shimin.
The real decision maker is not the player lord, the lord has to try to convince Li Shimin to use his own strategy.
Of course, if the tactics proposed by the lord are nonsense, Li Shimin will directly deny it.
"If there are suitable tactics, maybe I can send a military advisor to persuade Li Shimin."
Chu Tian thought of Fang Xuanling.
The young Fang Xuanling is Chu Tian's subordinate. At this time, Li Shimin defaults to not knowing the historical generals carried by the player.
But Fang Xuanling can become Li Shimin's army recruit, and the compatibility should be compatible. Send Fang Xuanling to give advice. If the lord's advice is appropriate, Li Shimin will most likely take it into consideration.
The other lords didn't know why Chu Tian was so confident and still chose to believe in Chu Tian. Chu Tian should not talk nonsense.
Lao Qin continued to deploy: "The difficulty in the battle of Anshi City is not to defeat Goguryeo and Mohe's 1.5 million army. The difficulty is to capture Anshi City within three months. Historically, the Tang army did so because Anshi City was indestructible, coupled with food and weather.
After waiting for some reason, we ordered the retreat. Therefore, we must carry out siege deployment while sending reinforcements. For Li Shimin, it would be okay even if he could not capture Anshi City. With the national power of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo could be defeated sooner or later, but for us
He said, if we cannot capture Anshi City in three months, we will lose. This is the second difficulty."
"The methods of siege are nothing more than making siege equipment, building mountains of earth, siege, attacking with water, attacking with fire, digging into the ground, etc. If you want to capture Anshi City, the best way is to build mountains of earth. As long as the mountains are bigger than Anshi
If the city wall is still high, you can have a full view of the inside and outside of the city."
Lao Qin was so cruel that he built a mountain of earth under Anshi City to spy on the defenders inside the city.
"Not just one mountain of earth, but four mountains of earth at the same time, building a large number of siege equipment, and then conquering Anshi City in one go. To do this, we also need to persuade Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty."
Another task to convince Li Shimin...
"In short, let's discuss all the tactics as soon as possible, and then hand them over to the Chu brothers to see if we can convince Tang Taizong Li Shimin."
Chu Tian's subordinate Fang Xuanling has become the hope of the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The Eastern Han camp with the support of the Tang army was much better than the Eastern Han lords fighting alone.
I hope I can persuade Li Shimin.
Chu Tian could only bite the bullet and go ahead.
This group of lords gathered around the bonfire of the camp and discussed tactics for a night. Chu Tian went to lobby Li Shimin the next day.
Chu Tian's Second Army was in the same camp. This camp was not garrisoned by Tang troops and was completely defended by the lord.
Chu Tian arranged for a lord and a guild to form a group to conduct patrols to prevent the defenders of Anshi City from leaving the city to attack at night.
The second legion's camp has more than a dozen wooden arrow towers and wooden city walls, so its defense capability is somewhat lacking.
However, the defenders of Anshi City were shrinking, and the possibility of leaving the city for a night attack was low.
Despite this, Chutian still deployed his defenses strictly.
Hua Mulan led a group of soldiers to patrol outside the tent in Xia City. After the day's battle, she was still in high spirits.
"There are soldiers and horses from other lords patrolling tonight. You can go in and rest."
Chu Tian was afraid that Hua Mulan would collapse from exhaustion.
"My subordinates are worried..."
"Believe in our teammates. Also, this is an order!"
Chu Tian deliberately scolded Hua Mulan with a straight face.
"yes."
Hua Mulan then returned to her tent to rest.
Chu Tian discovered that when talking to Hua Mulan about things with Yan Yuese, she could be very stubborn sometimes, and she would only give in when she got tough.
Women are really strange.
Chutian returned to his tent, took off his armor, and immediately felt relaxed.
This kind of heavy armor is simply dangerous. If you don't wear it, you won't be able to wear it, and you can easily be shot by stray arrows.
Fifty lords gathered in the Goguryeo camp, and there were fifty lords in Anshi City.
The lord who was almost captured by Chu Tian came back, and the morale of the Goryeo lords was greatly damaged.
At the beginning of the national war, a lord was crippled by the opponent. This lord and his soldiers basically lost the ability to go to the battlefield.
Although for the huge Goguryeo army, it would not hurt to lose one or two lords.
"The one who attacked you is the first lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty. I just want to farm well. According to the intelligence, he may have more than two historical generals, so you won't lose unfairly. No one will blame you."
Faced with the loss of his men, Jiang Pang, the commander of the Korean Army's Jeonju Army, did not blame him too much, but wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.
"The number one lord in the Eastern Han District, how do you know that?"
"It's very simple. We can see the rankings of the two camps. You have given a lot of military exploits to the first lord of the Eastern Han District. If you fail, you will fail. There are not so many excuses."
Cui Zaishan, the commander of the Northern Legion, came over with a group of lords who supported him, with a bit of contempt in his eyes.
Because of this defeated lord, the lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty "I just want to farm well" has gained more than 3000 combat points.
The defeated lords lowered their heads, and the first defeat in the national war was a blow to all the lords of Koryo.
Jiang Pang defended his subordinates: "The strength of the Eastern Han District is better than ours, and their number one lord is more powerful than our leader Li Minzhe. Failure is a normal thing. The top priority is to relieve the siege of Anshi City as soon as possible.
"
"In ancient times, if you lost in battle, you would be beheaded in front of the entire army. My words are already very kind. In the next battle with the Eastern Han Dynasty, I will use your blood to wash away the shame."
Cui Zaishan's harshness made many lords of Goryeo fear him.
However, Fatty Jiang from the Jeonju Corps located in the south of Goryeo didn't quite agree with his approach: "Cui Zaishan, this is a lord under my jurisdiction. You have no right to deal with him."
Cui Zaishan snorted coldly: "I have no intention of dealing with a defeated general. The two generals of Goguryeo, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen. As long as they follow my tactics, this battle can be won."
"What are you going to do?"
"Stand in a tight formation to wear down the Tang army and prevent them from attacking the city."
The next day, Chu Tian took the lead in going to the Tang Army's quartermaster to collect supplies before asking to see Tang Taizong Li Shimin.
"Every month, each person can receive up to 5 medium arrows, 50 low-grade arrows, a Tang sword, and a spear. The Tang sword needs to be sharpened before it 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-level arrows were silver-level arrows, and the low-level arrows were bronze-level arrows.
