Chapter 567 Counterattack, counterattack, counterattack

When Wang Jian attacked Chu, in order to make the soldiers feel free to go to the battlefield, he specially let them play happily in the military camp. Until the soldiers were bored to play with stones, he ordered troops to attack the south of the country. Xiang Yan, a famous general of the Chu State, died in battle. He captured the capital Jingdi city and captured King Fu Chu alive in less than a year. The huge Chu State was also annexed by the King of Qin to become a county of Qin.

Unlike Wang Jian, Li Chengqian took turns to restrain the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle, and at the same time, the soldiers from the front line took turns to the troops to tell each of them how fierce and cruel the Tubo people were and how the soldiers of our army died with the enemy, which inspired the soldiers of each unit to ask the generals of their troops to present the prince with blood letters, and they wanted to fight the Tubo people to the death.

"Engineering Xiao" is the most feared by military strategists in history. The marching chief Su Shichang once reminded Li Chengqian that if there is a deviation in doing so, it will not only save the lives of more than 200,000 troops, but will also make the southwest Shu area an enemy, so it is better to stop.

But the prince called him Li Daozong and Niu Jinda, two deputy general managers, and asked them to tell in detail how they made people "spread rumors" in the army. At the same time, Li Chengqian also introduced him to a new word "child care", making Su Shichang, the chief who was proficient in military affairs, one first and two great masters.

He could barely understand the "child caregiver" as it was just a spreading rumors that caused public outrage. But what does "restricted guidance" mean? How can people control their thoughts? In view of this, Su Shichang said without any obscurely that he could not accept this view. Of course he understood the principle that the soldiers must win, but these are all tricks that are not allowed to be used until they are absolutely necessary. What is it to move out now!

Under the rumbling sound of war drums, Su Dingfang's troops used the suicide camp as the vanguard, shield soldiers, and crossbowmen as the cover. A large number of engineering chisels, ladders, catapults, and eight ox crossbows were the center. Their knives, spearmen and cavalry followed up and launched a fierce attack on the city of Assong occupied by the Tubo army.

Originally, Asson was a very strong cement city, but after several changes of hands, it seemed to be plowed by a batch of trenchers, so the defense it currently has is very limited.

In addition, the Tang army's catapult was tilted with turbulent oil at any cost, causing the Tubo people wearing leather armor to suffer from seedlings. The sky suddenly rose from the top of the city, and everyone asked the disgusting roasted human flesh from a distance.

The vanguard troops of the siege were personally responsible for Su Dingfang. This guy went into battle bare shirtlessly, carrying a sword and his personal soldiers, rushed to the city, grabbed the siege ladder, and took the lead in climbing the city to trap the battle. Not far from him was the central army led by Xie Yingdeng. In addition to commanding the formation, his main task was to suppress the enemy troops on the top of the city as much as possible, providing Su Dingfang with reliable cover and support. Standing at the end, Luo Cheng led his troops to try to intersect and wait. Once the city gate was broken, he could lead his troops to fight in the streets with one stroke.

The generals of the Tang army often lead the way when fighting, in order to boost the morale of the army and fully exert the combat effectiveness of the troops. This is in line with the concept that the general must die and the thought of not living secretly.

But Su Dingfang is different. As the deputy chief of the Tang army and the commander of the siege troops, he should be responsible for commanding behind him. But this guy followed his teacher Li Jing, who liked to personally chew tough things. Wasn't the Yinshan Battle the best example? Therefore, there is nothing strange about being on the front line with the deputy commander of the first army.

On the hillside less than five miles away from Assong City, Li Chengqian, Su Shichang and others stood side by side to watch the battle below. The battle was lively in front, but there were naturally some people who couldn't sit still behind. Li Daozong and Niu Jinda had sent three waves of people to ask for reinforcements. It can be seen that these two veterans could not sit still.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill all the Tubo people!"

"Kill, kill, avenge the dead brothers!"

"Kill, kill the plateau and let the Tubo people know that the inviolability of the lower dynasty!"...

Amid countless roars, seeing the siege troops gather all their hatred on the three-foot blade, Su Shichang closed his mouth, and he had to admit that he was old and could not keep up with the young people's ideas. This may be the reason why the Yangtze River pushes the previous waves.

"Your Highness, the old minister has seen some battles. He has fought many evil battles from His Majesty during his time in Wude, but it is the first time that such a crazy soldier has seen him. The deputy commander has been in the first place. If the war is not won, it would be unreasonable."

Haha..., "Su Changshi can speak. You have more people than Zheng Guogui. If he were present, he would definitely participate in Su Dingfang's book." As he was talking, Li Chengqian shook his armor and sat on the ground, waved to Su Shichang, signaling him to sit down and say.

"If a dynasty wants to last forever, it depends on the monarch and the governing of the court officials, and the other is to rely on a brave and powerful army. Both are indispensable. The Qin and Han dynasties seized the world with their army, but because the country has been in peace for a long time, from the monarch to the army, they have lost their blood, so they die and the country is destroyed and laugh at the world.

Our dynasty also started from the army, so we must rely on conquests to ensure the strong combat effectiveness of the army, so that neighboring countries dare not spy on the Central Plains, so that the people can live and work in peace and happiness. Blindly conquer people with reason and repay grievances with virtue is the way of concubines and women, and should not be the foundation of governing the country."

Hearing that the prince hated the doctrine of the mean so much, Su Shichang couldn't help but smile. Young people should have the vitality that young people should have, and they are lifeless. A serious Confucian scholar cannot manage the country well. It can be imagined that if he lets him govern a generation, the Tang Dynasty would definitely be the same as Zhenguan. The Hu people did not go south and shed horses, and the soldiers did not dare to bend their bows and repay their grievances.

It is said that the King of Wei is a completely different person from the one in front of him. He was talking about the fourth son of the emperor who restrained himself and returned to rituals for benevolence. At this point, he understood why His Majesty attached so much importance to this eldest son and gave the fourth son of the great honor to the vassal state.

Just when the two were having fun, the gate of Asong City was finally broken, and Luo Cheng's troops jumped into the city like a bolt of lightning and thunder.

Li Daozong and Niu Jinda's troops on both sides also reacted very quickly and directly pulled the troops to the initial attack position of Su Dingfang. They just waited for them to eliminate the remaining enemies and started pursuing them. At this point, it really opened the curtain for the defeat of the Tubo Eastern Expedition.

"Your Highness, the old minister asked you, please give me advice. If you and Lu Dongzan change positions, how will you turn defeat into victory in this battle?"

Haha..., "Su Changshi, it's useless to say too much. There are not so many ifs in this world." After saying that, Li Hui ordered the central army guarding the flag to move forward, and the battle flag of the Tang Dynasty should be inserted into the land of Tubo......
