- Hou Jun committed suicide, and the burden of commanding 150,000 troops outside the city to fight against Li Ke fell on Changsun Shunde. . Because Changsun Shunde is also a veteran on the battlefield. He followed Li Shimin in the north and south and made great contributions. More importantly, his relationship with Changsun Wuji destined him to resist to the end.
Generals committing suicide and changing generals before battle is an absolute taboo for military strategists.
Therefore, when Changsun Shunde rushed to the military camp to receive the seal of the general, the soldiers in the camp had already lost their will to fight. In addition, Li Ji was beheaded in front of the formation, which had a great impact on the soldiers. This made the morale of the army very low when Changsun Shunde took over the army. In the handsome tent, Changsun Shunde couldn't help but get angry when he saw the 30 generals in front of him who were all silent and with wandering eyes. However, Changsun Shunde suppressed his anger and whispered, "Tell me, how should we fight this battle?"
In fact, he didn¡¯t know what to do. After all, the achievements of the Northern King Li Ke are there, annihilating the Turks and destroying the three powerful countries of Tuyuhun and Tubo. With this ability, they are not something they can stop in front of them. Moreover, he was facing an army of black guards who had massacred the Turkic Jingqi, Tuyuhun Jingqi, and Tubo Jingqi. Therefore, Changsun Shunde also understood the mood of the generals.
"General, the morale of the soldiers is very low. Only a battle can save the current defeat!" said one of the generals.
His confidant, Changsun Wuji, naturally would not let Changsun Shunde stay in the cold, so he spoke.
"What kind of strategy?" Changsun Shunde asked.
"The King of the North only has an army of 70,000 people. We have an absolute advantage in terms of strength. As long as we concentrate our forces to attack one side, his defense line will collapse. By then, won't our army of 150,000 people be the opponent of his 70,000 elite soldiers?" ?" The general continued.
"Who are you?" Changsun Shunde asked. He also knew who the general in front of him was and what his name was.
"The last general - Changsun Nu -" Changsun Nu replied.
"Well -" Changsun Shunde said softly, but he was thinking about it in his heart. No wonder they turned to him, they turned out to be a family.
"What's your opinion?" Changsun Shunde continued to ask.
"General, if we rush to fight without improving our morale, we may be defeated by the Northern King instead of defeating the Northern King's elite cavalry -" At this time, a veteran came out and said.
"What's your opinion?" Changsun Shunde asked.
"The cavalry in the concentration camp will fight against the Northern King's cavalry. As long as we win, our morale will naturally be improved. Then it will not be too late to concentrate our forces for a fierce attack!" the old general continued.
"Is it possible?" Changsun Shunde asked to himself.
Is it possible to use one's own cavalry to attack Li Ke's elite cavalry and also defeat Li Ke's black-clad elite cavalry? Not to mention Changsun Shunde who didn't believe it, even the generals present thought it was impossible. However, seeing the old general's confident look, Changsun Shunde was too embarrassed to say no.
After a while, all the generals had no objections, so Changsun Shunde continued to ask, "Old general, what are our chances of winning?"
¡°Less than 10%¡ª¡± the veteran replied.
"What?" Changsun Shunde said angrily. There is less than a 10% chance of winning. Aren't you just entertaining me?
"General, do we have any other choice besides this?" The veteran added promptly when he saw Changsun Shunde's angry expression.
Sure enough, when Changsun Shunde heard this, his anger was half gone.
really. Even Hou Junji was helpless against Li Ke. In the end, he committed suicide, let alone himself? At least the plan in front of us still has a 10% chance of winning. If this continues and the morale of the army is gone, won't it collapse without taking advantage?
After thinking for a moment, Changsun Shunde finally made a decision.
"Order, the whole camp gathers all the cavalry and goes out to fight with me tomorrow -" Changsun Shunde ordered.
"Nuo¡ª¡ª" The generals took their orders.
The next day, there were many spears and halberds standing in front of the two armies, filled with murderous intent.
Today, Changsun Shunde gathered 60,000 fine cavalry in the army. Li Ke only had 20,000 black cavalry and 20,000 heavy cavalry battalion.
The two armies stared at each other for a long time.
Seeing that the opponent¡¯s general was Changsun Shunde, Li Ke didn¡¯t even have the strength to speak.
He said to Chen Qi next to him, "Let the artillery focus on Changsun Shunde, and let me destroy him -"
"Nuo" Chen Qi accepted the order.
At this time, Li Ke's ten artillery pieces were already deployed in front of the two armies. The black barrel was pointed at Changsun Shunde and the 60,000 fine cavalry beside him.
Changsun Shunde didn't know what it was.
Because, Li ??I only used artillery in the battle of Puzhou. Today is the first time I used artillery after arriving in Chang'an. Moreover, after Puzhou was captured by Li Ke, no one was able to escape back to Chang'an City. Naturally, Chang Sun Wuji and others did not know the secret of the artillery.
However, Changsun Shunde didn't know what it was.
But when he faced this dark thing, a sense of sadness arose in his heart.
"Why is this happening?" Changsun Shunde asked himself.
At this time, the ten artillery pieces had adjusted their firing angles and started loading ammunition.
Li Ke¡¯s gunners received training in this area when they were at the Army Academy, coupled with actual combat experience in the Battle of Puzhou.
Therefore, this is the second time the artillery troops have fought, but their skills are already very skilled.
¡°Start¡ª¡ª¡± the general flag raised the small black flag, ¡°fire¡ª¡ª¡±
The little black flag fell.
"Rumble¡ª¡ª" the sound of cannons sounded.
The war horses neighed, and the 60,000 fine cavalrymen in front of the formation fell on their backs, and they suddenly became a mess.
"General¡ª¡ª"
"General¡ª¡ª"
Changsun Shunde's soldiers shouted. After the gunfire, they discovered that there was a head-sized hole in Changsun Shunde's chest, and his men had been thrown more than ten meters away.
"Rumble¡ª¡ª" The artillery continued to show off its power.
The war horse Liu Wanjing was riding was intimidated and suddenly lost control.
??And the 60,000 fine cavalry had never seen what artillery was before. Now that they felt the powerful power of the artillery, they were already frightened. In addition, the general Changsun Shunde died in the battle, everyone had lost their will to fight and their fighting spirit.
At this moment, Chen Qi issued the order to attack.
The heavy cavalry battalion suddenly launched a charge.
The 20,000 heavy cavalry battalion was divided into four square formations of 5,000 people, and they successively launched attacks on the enemy on the opposite side. Surrounding them were 20,000 black cavalry light cavalry to provide support.
"Click-click-"
The hoofbeats of the heavy cavalry camp were sonorous and powerful, striking the ground and the hearts of the 60,000 elite cavalrymen in the early chaos.
???????????????????????????
The spear of the heavy cavalry pierced the enemy on the opposite side, but the horse did not stop and continued to attack. The horse's head hit the horse of the cavalry on the opposite side with a groan. With a sad neighing sound, the soldier was thrown off the horse and the horse fell to the ground. This is the combat effectiveness of the heavy cavalry battalion. Long spears and war horses are their weapons. Facing the light cavalry, the heavy cavalry battalion is definitely their nemesis. With just two attacks, the 60,000 fine cavalry collapsed without occupying them, and they all threw themselves at Li Ke.
"The order is given¡ª" Li Ke ordered, "the army is heading towards the enemy camp¡ª"
"Nuo¡ª¡ª" Pei Xinglian accepted the order.
With the flag raised, the Ghost Face Cavalry and Wolf Cavalry battalions watching the battle not far behind Li Ke charged towards the Chang'an Army's camp.
Sixty thousand fine cavalry surrendered, and the soldiers in the camp naturally stopped resisting. Therefore, 30,000 fine cavalry actually broke through the camp of 90,000 troops, and all 90,000 troops surrendered. During this process, many generals resisted, but were either killed by their own subordinates or by the Ghost Face Cavalry and Wolf Cavalry Battalions.
When Li Ke came to the surrendering army, the 150,000-strong army silently lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Li Ke who was riding on his horse.
"Are you ashamed?" Li Ke shouted, "Why do you lower your heads?"
"Haha - of course you are ashamed. Where were you when the Tang Dynasty attacked the Turks? Where were you when the Tang Dynasty attacked Tuyuhun? Where were you when the Tang Dynasty attacked Tubo?" Li Ke shouted, " None of you are here, you are all eating, drinking and having fun in the military camp. However, what about today? You are here - wanting to kill each other with the soldiers who surrounded Datang and expanded their territory. It is strange that you are not ashamed - you Shame on¡ª"
The hundred thousand troops were silent, no one dared to make a sound.
"Look at these elite knights around me, and then look at you - are you still worthy of being soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Ke continued, "Do you still look like a soldier?"
"But don't worry - I promise you that your Iron Guards of the Tang Dynasty will wear black clothes and swords like them in the future and fight for the Tang Dynasty -" Li Ke threw out his bait .
Because no one who was a soldier in the entire Tang Dynasty knew what the treatment of the black-clad guards was. Now, Li Ke promises that the treatment of the black guards will also be given to them. The 150,000 soldiers all raised their heads and looked at Li Ke.
"Do you believe this king?" Li Ke continued to ask.
¡°Believe¡ªbelieve¡ªwe believe¡ª¡± the 150,000-strong army roared.
How many of these 150,000 troops are looking forward to it day and night??I can wear black clothes, because then I can get military pay and support my family. I don't have to starve to death as a soldier, and I don't have to worry about being disabled or killed in battle, and that my wife and children will have no one to take care of them.
Today, I, King Li Ke, personally promised to give them such treatment. How can everyone be unhappy?
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Long live the King of the North¡ª¡ª"
This sound was like a thunderbolt from the blue, touching an army of 150,000 soldiers.
Suddenly, the 150,000 troops shouted in unison, "Long live the King of the North -" Then, with a crash, they all knelt in front of Li Ke.
"Long live the Northern King¡ª¡ª"
¡°Long live the Northern King¡ª¡ª¡± Immediately, the black-clothed guard Jingqi shouted loudly. They drew their swords and roared to the sky.
