"Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live the Tang Dynasty, long live the Tang Dynasty..."

Amid the thunderous shouts of mountains and seas, teams of soldiers and horses rushed out of the Tang army camp south of Taiyuan City like a tide. There were no cavalry, all of which were all infantry brigades, with an astonishing number of no less than 50,000, densely arranged in the open wilderness facing the Mongolian army camp.

The war jackets of these soldiers were not the same. The Tang army soldiers wearing red war jackets on the right wing of the military formation. Although they were known as the Tang army, they inherited the ideal of the Red Coat Army of the Shandong peasant uprising army in the late Jin Dynasty to storm the Tartars out of the Central Plains!

The equipment of Li Yan's Tang Dynasty soldiers was just ordinary, and they could not be compared with Chen Dexing's lord soldiers and Eight Banners soldiers. Most of the soldiers were leather armor, a spear, a shield, and a ring-headed sword, or equipped with bows and arrows, and did not have strong crossbows.

There are only a few elite soldiers, such as the Jinwu Guard, Qianniu Guard and Li Yulin's personal soldiers, the Yulin Army is equipped with iron armor. Among them, the Jinwu Guard and Qianniu Guard are half-iron armor and half-skin armor, the Yulin Army is fully iron armor and is equipped with steel silver spears. However, there is no Yulin Army among the Tang army now, but the Jinwu Guard Right Army, Qianniu Guard and the Leading Guard, and the light cavalry of each guard are not used. The total force of the troops to be launched is about 28,000.

As for the current heavy weapons of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers, they are three bow crossbows and heavenly thunder arrows. Among them, the heavenly thunder arrows are self-produced and do not use pelleted H medicine. Now hundreds of three bow crossbows have been moved out and placed at the forefront of the Tang army formation.

The troops of Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou were on the battlefield with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. In history, these two Han marquis were loyal lackeys of the Great Mongolian and the vanguard of the extermination of Li Yan. However, now Li Yan and Chen Dexing are obviously stronger than Mongolia! Moreover, if you join the Mongolian side, you may be sent to fight Chen Dexing to the death. Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou are not that stupid. So they both joined the Tang side, one became the chief general of the Henan Road Army and the governor of the Xuanwu Army (the capital is in Bianliang). The other became the governor of the Shuntian Army (the capital is in Bozhou).

The Xuanwu Army of the Shi family sent 20,000 people to follow Li Yu to conquer Taiyuan, and now 15,000 people were sent. The Shuntian Army of the Zhang family sent 10,000 troops to conquer Li Yu to conquer north. Now, 7,000 people were sent.

The two families, plus the Tang Dynasty's soldiers, gathered a total of 50,000 people. They were placed in the wilderness south of Taiyuan City, and there were crowds of people, and they could not even be seen by them! The opposite Batulu and Wang Tiange were numb!

Li Yan actually had so many people! They originally thought that Li Yan had at most 40,000 to 50,000 people, but now they have set up at least 50,000 at a time! If the distance between the Mongolian camp and the Tang army's south camp was not large enough, I'm afraid that Li Yan and his army would have to drive out of Taiyuan City!

While the Tang army was launching a battle formation, a large group of troops were also set up in the Mongolian camp, forming a formation, backing the camp and a small and half of the long trenches that had just been dug. The Mongolian Yuan army only had two teams of 10,000 people in the south of Taiyuan City, and now they were dispatched with sixteen thousand households. Because the number of people was at an absolute disadvantage, Batulu did not allow his Mongolian cavalry to ride on the battlefield today without the chance of Mongolian cavalry rushing forward.

As for diffusing with horse bows, don't think about it. There are at least 20,000 archers in the other party's 50,000 army. The archers of the Li family, Shi family and Zhang family are no worse than those of the Great Mongolian family. Many of the nephews of the three families are famous "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Therefore, Batulu has honestly set up a defensive formation today. The Wang family Mongolian army lined up five rows of horizontal formations in front of the line. The Batulu's 10,000-person team formed the second line of defense behind the Wang family army. Moreover, all the Mongolians took the step bow and were ready to use arrow rain to remove the offensive of the Eastern Tang army at any time.

As long as the three 10,000 teams deployed on the northeast and west sides of Taiyuan City are gathered together, then in today's battle, the Great Mongolia still has some chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Batulu suddenly drew out the scimitar and shouted loudly: "The God of Eternal Life blesses the Mongols! The warriors beat them hard, so that the Han people will always remember the reputation of the Great Mongolia!"

Having received Kublai Khan's promise, Wang Tiange, who was about to become a Mongolian, also shouted: "The heaven of immortality blesses the Mongols, the warriors of the Wanggu tribe. They will advance but not retreat!"

Immediately afterwards, all the Mongolians shouted: "God of immortality bless the Mongolians!"

At this time, opposite them, the sound of war drums of the Tang army rumbling. Thousands of soldiers suddenly split out from the Tang army formation, forming two square formations in a tight sound of war drums, slowly advancing forward!

The bloody battle in Taiyuan has officially begun!

...

The crowds were tide and rushed to the north.

Large groups of refugees, supporting the elderly and the young, pushed wheelbarrows, drove the carts, and carried their only possessions and food, and slowly moved forward in the north wind.

About one-third of the team still have weapons, mostly long spears, hunting forks and soft bows.

Only some rich families wearing brocade clothes and riding on horses had good knives, swords and good archers on their waists, some of them had armor on their horses, and servants holding shields followed them.

These rich families are the landlords and powerful people in the north. A society that is completely equal and has no gap between people is of course unimaginable in China in the 13th century. No matter in the south and north, there are always people who are developed and some are in poverty. Since there are wealth, no matter how rich and poor, then there will be an upward channel and there will be a class solidification. In the Southern Dynasties, the upward channel was basically equal to everyone before the imperial examination papers, and the threshold for Confucius and Mencius was not high. From a fair perspective, the upward channel was probably the most fairest upward channel for mankind in ancient times! Therefore, this upward channel attracted most of the elites of the Southern Dynasties, and also dominated the social wealth distribution of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the north, the imperial examination system has been abandoned for decades. In these decades, the main upward channel for the people of the north is force! Those with less force dominate the countryside and become local tyrants. Those with stronger force have pulled up teams to join Mongolia as Han soldiers and thousands of households. For example, Li Yan, they simply became emperor by themselves! This upward channel has also attracted most of the elites in the north to practice martial arts with higher thresholds than those of Xiwen, and their fairness is not as good as the latter. After all, making contributions on the battlefield is not simply a competition, and there are too many factors that affect the results...

However, the northern Han people who grew up under the unfair upward channel defeated the Han Dynasty, which had only high schooling, for the Mongols!

However, these northern Han elites have better loyalty to the Northern Ming and Eastern Tang.

Now these powerful men who organized their families and their tenants and obeyed the orders of King Chen Dexing of Ming Dynasty, naturally had chosen to be loyal to Beiming. They would be conferred loyalty to Beiming just by arriving in Yanyun and would be served in the Northern Ming army. Not only would they be allocated to the Geogle farm in Liaodong or Yanyun, but the land they lost due to their migration would also be compensated accordingly.

Those northern men who are not as good as the standards of a powerful landlord but are also powerful in Kong Wu can also join the army to serve. As long as they are selected to join the army, they will have 10 coins of Anjia money and 150 acres of military merit fields. Moreover, now that the Northern Ming Dynasty is in its early rise, there are many opportunities to make meritorious service and award titles!

Therefore, as long as the tens of thousands of refugees here arrive in Yanjing, it will take less than a year to provide Chen Dexing with at least thousands of elite soldiers!

Guo Kan rode his horse in the middle of his steel armored soldiers, and stopped from time to time to see the faces of the northern men passing by him. Almost every face of the northern men was full of envy! How could these northern men not see that these silver-shining plate armors were good things?

In this army of His Highness Ming, half of them were wearing such steel armor! The army of His Highness Ming, wouldn’t it be like this? How strong is the army equipped like this?

It seems that the choice of joining the Ming King and following the Ming King to conquer the world is really correct! This is a dragon master who can protect the wealth of generations or even more than ten generations.

As the north wind whistled, the sound of horse hooves sounded like thunder. Countless northerners turned their heads and saw a team of black-clad knights galloping towards them. Looking at their agile appearance on the horse's back, they were not under the Mongols!

The cavalry of this Ming King is so powerful!

The running Zhengheiqi vest tied the reins in front of Guo Kan. The strong horse under his crotch neighed, stood upright with his hind legs, and then hit the ground with his front hooves and stopped steadily.

"Guo Lushuai! I discovered the Mongolian!" The first vest reported loudly.

"How many?" Guo Kan was not panicked, but just asked lightly.

"There are five thousand-man teams, one man and two horses. There will always be thousands of people who will scatter when the horse is scattered!" As he said, the vest reached out and picked up a head from under the horse's neck, and smiled, "So I caught my tongue before I could find out the situation."

"Okay! Very good!" Guo Kan nodded with a smile, "What's your name? Someone turned around and rewarded you for your merits in front of the Ming King."

The vest bowed and said, "The little one is named Ma Si, who is the vest soldier of the second assistant to the Zhenghei Banner. He has not yet been granted a soldier."

"I will definitely be a soldier after the battle!" Guo Kan waved his hand and asked the vest soldiers to retreat. Then he called more than a dozen powerful leaders. In fact, they were not real leaders. But for the sake of convenience, Guo Kan temporarily appointed several leaders.

"We are here!" Guo Kan said as he glanced at the ten powerful leaders with his eyes, and saw all their expressions in his eyes. Everyone looked frightened.
