Chapter 154 Departure
Speaking of which, Xue Xiantu really had some interest in Sun Qingqi.
" However, Sun Qingqi's vision was high, and she really didn't like Xue Xiantu, who wanted to marry a tall, rich and handsome man like Li Zhen.
Xue Xiantu thought that you should marry the prince, but Sun Qingqi was so handsome and so interesting.
Everyone has become familiar with Sun Qingqi these days. One look at Sun Qingqi's expression and they knew that Sun Qingqi really had some thoughts about Li Zhen.
Zhou Qing thought that if there was a chance in the future, he would pull the red string between Sun Qingqi and the prince, and maybe they could form a good marriage.
But now Li Zhen has no intention of remarrying.
Now that the military situation is urgent, there is no time to think about this. Starting from Chang'an, he has to go eastward and enter Daizhou as soon as possible before he can join up with the troops of Xue Wanche, the governor of Daizhou, and Zhang Jian, the governor of Yingzhou, and launch an attack on Xue Yantuo. "
Li Zhen calculated the strength of his troops. In terms of strength, Li Ke still had the absolute advantage. His three-way army was the main force of the Tang army, with more than 40,000 people and extremely strong combat effectiveness. However, he only had two troops assigned to him. Ten thousand people were just a partial division of the Tang army, and their combat effectiveness was weaker than that of Li Ke's troops.
However, the advantage is that Zhang Jian, the governor of Yingzhou, once served under his command. When he attacked Goguryeo, Zhang Jian did not go out to attack, but he stuck to Yingzhou and played a great role in containing Goguryeo. Zhen¡¯s relationship is also very good.
??And Xue Wanche, the governor of Daizhou, was a veteran general. He was originally the fourth son of Xue Shixiong, the general of the left imperial guard of the Sui Dynasty, and the brother-in-law of Taizong Li Shimin. He served as a Tang official until General Youwuwei, and was granted the title of Duke of Wu'an County.
At the beginning, Xue Wanche was a general under Li Jiancheng. During the Xuanwumen Incident, he led the troops of the East Palace to fight and even counterattacked the Qin Palace. It was not until Li Shimin sent someone to show the prince's head that he put down his weapons and led dozens of cavalry to flee into Nanshan. Later, Li Shimin appreciated his bravery and sent envoys many times to summon him before he came back to worship the general.
Li Shimin also married his sister Princess Danyang to Xue Wanche.
Xue Wanche is a veteran general with rich combat experience and extraordinary bravery. He is a powerful assistant to Li Zhen.
More importantly, Xue Wanche had a bad relationship with Changsun Wuji, but he had a good relationship with Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yiai.
Based on the attitude that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Li Zhen also regarded Xue Wanche as a target that could be won over.
Li Zhen was about to lead the army to leave. At this moment, a group of people came galloping from a distance. When Li Zhen saw it, they were old acquaintances Cheng Chuzhi and Wang Fangyi.
"My lord, go slow!"
Cheng Chuzhi and Wang Fangyi got off their horses and came to Li Zhen.
Li Zhen was very happy when she saw the two of them. Cheng Chuzhi was her good brother for many years. Wang Fangyi had also become very close to her during this period and became good friends. I wonder why the two of them brought troops here. What's the meaning.
Cheng Chuzhi and Wang Fangyi saluted Li Zhen at the same time.
Cheng Chuzhi said: "Your Majesty, on the order of the Emperor, we and I have led the Qianniu Guards to help your Majesty."
Li Zhen was very happy when he heard that. The Qianniu Guards on the left and right totaled 2,000 people, and because they were the Forbidden Army, they were all brave soldiers with strong combat effectiveness.
Hearing that Li Shimin sent the left and right Qianniu Guards to him, Li Zhen sighed in his heart. He originally had some thoughts about Li Shimin giving the main Tang army general to Li Ke, and thought that Li Shimin was better for Li Ke.
But now it seems that Li Shimin was very kind to him. He gave him the command of Qianniu Guard, and also sent Cheng Chuzhi and Wang Fangyi to him.
?????????????? It seems that his heart, hands, heart and back are both flesh and blood, and he also wants to make some meritorious deeds for himself.
At this moment, Li Zhen asked the two thousand Qianniu Guards to join his army. Although these two thousand Qianniu Guards were all infantry, they had very strong fighting power. Each of them wielded horizontal swords and wore bright armor.
The basic shape of the horizontal sword is somewhat similar to the "Japanese sword", but the blade and blade of the Tang Dynasty horizontal sword are basically straight, unlike the common "Japanese sword" which is curved with an arc. The Tang Dynasty horizontal sword The shape is a straight knife shape.
The forging technology of Hengdao is extremely advanced in the world. The forged blade is extremely sharp and can be used both on foot and on horseback.
Mingguang Armor is iron armor, made up of 1590 pieces of fish scale armor and 644 pieces of long strip armor. "Mingguang Armor" is the first of the thirteen armors of the Tang Dynasty. It has metal round guards on the chest and back. It is polished extremely smooth and looks like a mirror. It reflects dazzling light under the sunlight, hence the name "Mingguang Armor".
This type of armor has extremely strong defense and is very time-consuming to make. It takes 192 to 265 working days to make a pair of armor.
It takes 41 workers to repair a pair of armor.
In the Tang Dynasty, those who could use Hengdao and Mingguang Armor were the most elite troops. Therefore, the addition of Qianniu Guards greatly increased Li Zhen's military strength.
Such an army is enough to match the combat power of tens of thousands of ordinary infantry.
In this way, the main force under Li Zhen's command consisted of a thousand musketeers, including 500 musketeers, 500 grenadiers, plus 500 swordsmen, 1,000 heavily armored cavalry, and 2,000 heavily armored cavalry. Wei, Li Zhen has 4,500 of the most elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Zhen believes that the combat effectiveness of these 4,500 people is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary troops. This mixed force is definitely the most elite force of this era.
Half a month later, Monan Grassland.
Li Zhen leads an army of 4,500 people and is marching in the grassland.
It was already November, and the weather was getting colder. On the Monan grassland, the grass blades were already withered and yellow. Fortunately, Li Zhen's army all wore autumn clothes when they left the Tang Dynasty, so they didn't feel cold at all.
This place is still hundreds of kilometers away from Baidaochuan occupied by Xue Yantuo. Since he has not yet joined Xue Wanche's and Zhang Jian's troops who have left the customs first, Li Zhen is not in a hurry to march.
In Li Zhen¡¯s plan, Xue Wanche¡¯s tribe and Zhang Jian¡¯s tribe were to join together, and then they would join forces with the Xi people and the Khitan people to attack Bai Daochuan from the front.
Although I also want to lead a surprise force to attack Huanglong, it is a pity that I only have a thousand heavy cavalry under my command, and the rest are infantry.
A thousand heavy cavalry rushed into Baicaochuan alone, facing Xue Yantuo's 200,000 troops, which was basically a death sentence. Therefore, Li Zhen did not leave any bags, and prepared to join Xue Wanche and Zhang Jian, gather three cavalry units, and then attack for a long distance. Launched an attack on Bai Daochuan.
Speaking of which, the scenery of this grassland is extremely beautiful, with gentle wind and clear clouds, and the sky is high and the grass is green.
Just yesterday, a large group of wild yellow sheep flew past in droves. Naturally, Li Zhen would not miss this opportunity to replenish food. She fired thousands of arrows and quickly hit more than 200 yellow sheep. Jun had a feast of delicious yellow mutton.
At this time, the Tang army was marching forward, but Li Zhen was a little confused, why couldn't they find traces of Xue Wanche and Zhang Jian after so long?
At this moment, the ground began to tremble.
It was a slight vibration at first, but the vibration became stronger and stronger (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
