Great Tang princess

Chapter 526
While Li Yuechen ordered to monitor those Mohe people, he immediately began to notify the troops in various places in the rear to get ready and prepare to go out of the city to fight at any time.

At the same time, in the office of the camp, he discussed with the staff how to fight this battle.

First of all, it goes without saying that the opponent must attack this side, so that there will be excuses and reasons to take the opportunity to start a war.

After all, it is the kingdom of the heavens, and you can't raise troops for no reason just because you don't like it. After all, there should be a face project, and it is as strong as a beautiful country. Before you want to be a fool, you have to hold a meeting and ask other countries agree?
After determining the basic plan, the next step is the course of action.

First of all, once the opponent attacks the city, they will not be able to occupy it first, and fight a defensive battle.

After the end of the first game, write a letter to inform the imperial court of the foreign invasion, and at the same time tell the world to start a counterattack. When the enemy's second wave of attack comes, they will directly use artillery and grenades to greet them.

After repelling the enemy army, immediately lead the army to go deep into the grassland to hunt down the enemy army. At the same time, take this opportunity to clean up all the hostile forces and take the opportunity to expand the national border.

Considering that the main force of this war is the relatively primitive government soldiers, whose power can boost morale, Li Yuechen decided to take the lead in the charge himself, so as to raise his prestige in the army to a higher level.

In this way, in the future, my order will be able to restrain these tough frontier soldiers in the future, and they will be able to garrison troops here obediently according to the order.

At the same time, a part of the reformed army was left behind, a new barracks was established here, and some soldiers with good background were absorbed to become new professional soldiers and began to receive formal education and military skills training.

After making a plan, everything began to work in an orderly manner.

Sure enough, after less than ten days, Li Yuechen received the report, and he saw black cavalry on the city wall starting to move here.

Sitting in the barracks, Li Yuechen nodded to show that he understood, and then sent someone to pass a message to Tong Xing, who was in charge of guarding the city, that no matter whether he had an advantage or not, he should not go out of the city to fight, just stay at ease.

In the battle of defending the city, the advantage of the enemy's cavalry will not be brought into play. Forcibly attacking the city will only lose troops and generals, and the battle loss rate is terrible.

Generally speaking, the only way for nomads to attack a city is to use ladders and flying towers to climb the city wall, or to smash open the city gate with a battering ram.

Although most of the Northeast region is grassland, there are also many forests. Timber resources are not too scarce, so they are capable of making siege equipment such as flying towers and battering hammers.

In order to ensure that the first attack would not break the city, under Li Yuechen's order, the city gate was almost completely filled with stones, even if the battering ram smashed through the city gate, they would not be able to enter at all.

As for the stones that were filled in the back, after they were moved away, the soldiers lost their strength, so Li Yuechen brought people over.

The main defensive force is still on the city wall. Li Yuechen's order is to stick to the city wall. It must be ensured that no foreigner can be allowed to climb the city wall.

Only by defending the first wave of tentative attacks can Mohe people be able to launch their full strength in the second wave of attacks. At that time, Li Yuechen and people from the surrounding counties and counties will naturally come over and take them back together to fight back.

Tong Xing, who received the order, was not at all afraid, on the contrary, he was faintly excited. Princess Taiping, who is recognized throughout the country as the God of War, helped to hold the line. Even if the number is small, what is there to be afraid of?

So he boarded the city wall himself and directed the soldiers to prepare for battle.

The Mohe people didn't talk too much nonsense, seeing that the city gate was still closed, they directly launched an attack.

A large number of black soldiers roared and pushed battering rams and flying towers to the city wall and launched an attack.

Tong Xing roared and ordered: "Shoot the arrow! Roll the wood and thunder the stone!"

Nomads are not good at iron smelting, but they usually wear leather armor, which is somewhat defensive against the bows and arrows of this era.

But it's not good for things like rolling logs and stones. In this era, no matter how good the armor is, it can't withstand the impact of a blunt weapon.

Even Li Yuechen's armor, which was said to be invulnerable to swords and guns, did not dare to use weapons such as hammers.

……

When the soldiers on the city wall heard the order, without saying a word, they lifted the stones that had been piled on the city wall and threw them down.

Many foreign soldiers who had already rushed under the city wall let out screams, but even so, those pushing the flying tower behind them still did not stop.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

Countless arrows shot at the support of the flying tower, but it still couldn't stop it from advancing, and it was slowly pushed to the front of the city wall.

Some soldiers fired ignited rockets, but the flying buildings were covered with a layer of leather, just for flame retardancy, so they couldn't burn immediately.

The soldiers of the Mohe people would cut off the rocket as soon as they saw it to prevent it from continuing to burn.

The 200,000 army spread out in front of Buyeo City, like the sea, black and dense, almost invisible at a glance. On the contrary, this wave was only a tentative attack. Most of the main force was still on alert in other directions, and did not all at once rushed up.

Ten miles behind Fuyu City, Li Yuechen was also sitting in the office of the camp, drinking tea while waiting for news.

At the same time, he also wrote a letter, explaining the situation here, and sent someone to send it to Dongdu urgently for [-] miles, preparing to build public opinion after notifying the court.

The scouts who were in charge of observing the battle situation came in to report the situation almost every quarter of an hour. Li Yuechen listened to the report carefully and waited for the opportunity.

……

On the other side, outside Fuyu City, Yuwen Valley, who was in charge of this battle, was watching the battle under the city wall.

Today's Yuwen clan has already reached the top position in the Mohe tribe, but I don't know if it is an instinct in the genes. Yuwengu, who is less than 50 years old now, thinks that he should be able to go further.

Now Mohe Dahan is very old, and his sons are basically idiots, and none of them can fight.

Yuwengu thinks this is an opportunity, and now the Han people seem to have increased a lot of grain production with the help of the God of War princess. , Overthrew Mohe Khan.

As long as I can sit in that position, I can start more trade with the Han people.

Yuwen Valley knows that the nomads are not good at farming, they basically rely on the weather, and their ability to resist risks is extremely low. If they want to avoid this situation, they must find a way to trade with the Han people, and at the same time, it is best to get some cultivated land. Learn to grow food and vegetables by yourself.

But fighting... that princess's reputation is too loud.

The so-called no man without a reputation, Princess Taiping's reputation is enough to show that she is not an ordinary person. Maybe the legend is a bit exaggerated, but if possible, he does not want to face this princess directly.

Based on the analysis of the news received this time, it can basically be concluded that Lu's hidden armor was discovered, and he had no choice but to rebel in advance.

This made Yuwengu think that the opportunity had come, Lu's rebellion, the princess led troops to suppress the rebellion, and the border was empty, so he should be able to grab a lot of supplies.

But when he came over, he still remained vigilant. He didn't let all the troops rush up immediately, but sent some people to make a tentative attack first.

Fuyu City's resistance did not exceed his expectations. After all, according to the news, the princess has transferred many people away to quell the rebellion.I will definitely think about what to do if foreigners invade at this time.

So those rolling logs and rocks seemed normal in Yuwen Valley, and this was also a preparation to prevent foreign races from taking advantage of the emptiness of the border to invade.

……

The battle on the city wall was still going on. At this time, many flying buildings had been opened, and a large number of foreign soldiers climbed up along the inside of the flying buildings.

However, Tong Xing took the lead in fighting fiercely on the city wall, which gave the soldiers great courage. They chopped off the weapons in their hands at the Mohe people on the flying tower to prevent them from climbing the city wall.

The passageway where the flying tower can be erected on the city wall is only more than one meter wide, and at most one person can stand there, and this person has to face the attack of four or five government soldiers, so it is naturally difficult to climb the city wall in a short time.

Besides, none of the main troops attacked today, and there were not too many follow-up manpower. Many Mohe soldiers could not resist the attack and were knocked down the city wall.

Even though the city wall here is not as high as Dongdu, it is still about two feet high. If you fall from this height, even if you don't die, you will inevitably have broken arms and legs.

For a while, the screams under the city wall were heard endlessly, but they would be drowned out by the screams of the soldiers...

This kind of battle has been going on for a long time. After knowing that for an hour, the soldiers of the Mohe people received the order to retreat, pushed the flying building away, and left behind a pile of corpses.

……

In the barracks, Li Yuechen was silent for a few seconds while listening to the report, and then asked, "How about our army's losses?"

"Return to Your Highness, 27 people!" The soldiers of the reconnaissance company replied.

Li Yuechen sighed, waved his hand to show that he understood, and asked him to step back first.

Although they are not soldiers trained by themselves, they are soldiers of this country. If this battle damage is reported to Dongdu, it will probably make all the bosses laugh out loud.

But after all, that was also 27 lives, and Li Yuechen still felt a little sad for them for a while.

However, she immediately adjusted her mood. As a general, she couldn't ruin the overall plan because of this kind of thing. Sometimes, for the smooth progress of the plan, someone really needs to be sacrificed.

The so-called performing their own duties, they should do what they are in, even if they pay corresponding responsibilities and costs.

Today's first battle is over. If there is no accident, the Mohe people will launch a general attack tomorrow, and they don't want to delay.

After all, in the eyes of the Mohe people, if the princess finishes fighting early and comes here, their battle loss ratio will expand to an unacceptable level.

Today's grassland is still a society similar to slavery, but because of this, if too many slaves die, Yuwen Valley's prestige will naturally not rise, and it will also affect production.

After all, all physical labor such as grazing, migration, and construction is usually done by slaves. On the battlefield, it is often a slave owner who leads a large number of slaves to fight.

If too many slaves died, it would be a huge loss to the slave owner.

So if you want to fight, you must do it as soon as possible.

That night, whether it was the Mohe people or Fuyu City, most people fell asleep, and only a small number of people were responsible for patrolling.

Under the darkness of night, several pairs of troops quietly entered the city. These troops were temporarily mobilized from nearby states and counties. At present, they can make up 50,000 people, and the remaining half will arrive in the daytime tomorrow.

Li Yuechen ordered the soldiers to take the time to rest, feed the horses, and if the opponent starts to attack tomorrow, they will immediately follow her.

At the same time, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company also installed pulleys in the night, transported more than a dozen artillery pieces and ammunition to the city wall, and placed the muzzles facing the outside.

At the same time, the ammunition boxes were neatly stacked next to the artillery, ready to be fired.

The scouts were divided into two groups, taking turns guarding the artillery and resting, waiting for the battle tomorrow.

……

Under the efficient action plan, all soldiers are ready.

When the sun rose in the morning, Li Yuechen also opened his eyes. After washing up, he got up and got dressed.

After a casual breakfast, Wang Wuqiong came in to help her put on the armor together.

Today's weather is very hot after noon, which is not conducive to fighting. The Mohe people must attack in the morning not long after sunrise.

Arriving at the gate of the city, the stones that were filled yesterday have been cleared away, so that it will be convenient for the large troops to rush out directly.

The infantry had already lined up and stood in the middle of the street, waiting for orders. Tong Xing's two lieutenants led a team of cavalry to wait on both sides.

Li Yuechen told them that when he heard the explosion, he immediately led the team to rush out, outflanking the opponent from left and right.

It is said that cavalry is massacre against infantry, but it depends on the situation. The advantages of cavalry are huge impact and high mobility.

The cavalry of the Mohe people did not have heavy armor, but were all light armored cavalry, which meant that once they were surrounded by infantry and lost their impact and mobility, they could only end up waiting to die on the spot.

After a while, Li Yuechen was in charge of leading the infantry to open the city gate and rush out. Surrounded by his own cavalry, he directly led the heavy infantry to attack the enemy's light cavalry.

Having your own humanoid tank can not only boost the morale of your own soldiers, but also create a huge deterrent effect on the enemy.

After putting on the armor, Wang Wuqiong immediately put on the armor for himself, and walked over with a spear.

"Are you going too?" Li Yuechen asked with a smile.

"Grandpa said that you still have to see blood when you are a soldier." Wang Wuqiong replied, "Besides, I am His Highness's guard, how can I not accompany His Highness?"

After hearing this, Li Yuechen just smiled and didn't say anything.

After all, she is different from Xiao He or Fu Lai, she has skills in her body, with her by her side, she can give herself some help, and she doesn't need to allocate too much energy to protect her.

So she is fully qualified to charge on the battlefield with her.

After walking out of the post house, other guards came over immediately. Compared with usual, the camouflage uniforms of these guards were also covered with armor, and they were no longer holding axes, but shields and long handles. Mo Dao.

In this kind of face-to-face warfare, the length of the weapon is actually very important.Weapons like axes are only suitable for special operations after all.

But compared to this, what Li Yuechen cares more about is that from today onwards, a brand new weapon like artillery will officially appear!
