Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1686
Under normal circumstances, when a large army marches, it is carried out by cavalry and infantry at the same time. After all, in combat, several arms must cooperate with each other to achieve maximum efficiency.

Only the cavalry is of course very powerful, but if the enemy sticks to the city gates, then the cavalry will be useless, and the only way to attack the city is to rely on infantry.

In comparison, the cavalry is more important than the infantry. Datang may not be willing to sacrifice a cavalry at the expense of two infantry. After all, cavalry training is not easy.

But now, for the sake of speed, Qin Tian actually wanted to modify the status of the marching troops, which surprised everyone.

"Brother Qin says what he says, and we listen to it."

"That's right, Brother Qin must have a reason for doing this."

They all believed in Qin Tian. If there was anyone in this world they could trust without thinking about it, then it must be Qin Tian.

Qin Tian nodded: "Okay, then I'll give you an order now, Cheng Chumo and I will lead the cavalry to Liao City first as the vanguard, Qin Huaiyu will follow behind with the skiers, and leave the infantry to Yuchi Bao Led by Lin, our cavalry is fast and only has enough dry food for a month, and the infantry is behind, bringing all the food and grass."

Qin Tian ordered the situation, and Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu immediately accepted the order without any hesitation.

After saying this, they didn't stay in Chang'an City for too long, and they left Chang'an City directly with their soldiers and horses.

Qin Tian and Cheng Chumo led the cavalry ahead. There were not many cavalry, only more than 4. When they left Chang'an City, they had a huge momentum, even more powerful than the vanguard troops along the way.

It's just that, as soon as they left, someone started impeaching Qin Tian.

This morning, at the very beginning, someone stood up.

"My lord, I want to impeach Qin Tian."

"My lord, I also want to impeach Qin Tian."

"........."

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly, Qin Tian had just left, why did someone want to impeach him?

"What do you want to impeach Qin Tian?"

"Your Majesty, Qin Tian doesn't know how to use troops. He actually led the cavalry and left first. Yes, the cavalry is very fast, but what about the soldiers and horses behind? Without them, how would this battle be fought? How would they transport their food and grass? ?”

"Your Majesty, this Qin Tian is really trying to harm me, Tang. Please, Your Majesty, punish Qin Tian severely."

'Please, Your Majesty, punish Qin Tian severely. '

"........."

Because of Qin Tian's marching, many people in the court were very confused, and couldn't help impeaching Qin Tian. After Li Shimin learned what was going on, his eyes narrowed slightly, a little displeased.

However, it's not that he doesn't like Qin Tian's method of marching, but that he doesn't like the repetition of these people in the court.

Two days ago, it was clear that they were the ones who kept saying how powerful Qin Tian was and how he knew how to fight, and that Qin Tian had to be the leader of the army, but now that Qin Tian really led the army away, they were chattering behind, making people bored.

He, Li Shimin, wanted to employ people without suspicion. Now that Qin Tian had just led his troops away, if he punished Qin Tian, ​​how would he fight this battle in the future?
These officials are simply dragging their feet.

Li Shimin cursed secretly, but his expression was calm, he waved his hands, and said: "Okay, I understand what you Aiqing said, but I believe in Qin Aiqing's consideration, since he did this, there must be a reason for it , I can trust Qin Tian, ​​so when Qin Tian is fighting outside, if anyone impeaches him and says he is wrong, I will not believe it at all, and I will punish these people severely."

If Qin Tian wants to fight outside with peace of mind, he must give Qin Tian enough trust. If he doesn't have such courage, how can he let his soldiers work hard for him?

After Li Shimin's words came out, although the officials in the court were not happy, they didn't know what to do, so they could only obediently agree.
-
As soon as early summer arrived, [-] soldiers from Goguryeo and [-] soldiers from Baekje came to Silla from different directions.

Silla Kingdom can now be said to be attacked on three sides, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Wa Kingdom.

These three countries shot from different directions, as if they could put Silla to death at once.

At this time, the Silla Kingdom is already in crisis and has reached a critical juncture.

In Silla, people are panicking.

Cui Xianzhi was on the top of the main hall, looking at the officials below. Although he no longer has any power, he is still the king of Silla. As a king, he has a certain prestige. Salute him.

"My dear friends, now that our Silla country is facing enemies from three sides, how do you think our Silla country should deal with it?"

Speaking of this, Cui Xianzhi smiled slightly: "There has been news from Datang that they are willing to help us Silla, but they don't know when they will come, and it will take a little more than a month at the earliest, so we have to hold on until The way they came, dear ministers, is to delay time for our Silla Kingdom."

Although the current situation is very dangerous, it is not what Cui Xianzhi wants to see. However, the final premise of what he wants to see is that his Silla country can last until the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang army.

After Cui Xianzhi finished speaking, the officials in the court were somewhat relieved, as long as the Tang Dynasty was willing to send troops to rescue, then they would have hope.

If a person has hope, he naturally has a breath to support it.

"Your Majesty, the Silla Kingdom now has [-] troops. It should be no problem to sustain it for a period of time, but the premise is how we should allocate these troops."

These troops are all from Jin Jiang, so he would be very distressed to ask him to use his own soldiers and horses to fight, but if he doesn't use them now, then he will wait for the destruction of the Silla Kingdom, so he has to use them if he doesn't use them.

How much did he know why Cui Xianzhi was willing to give him the soldiers and horses? After giving them to him, he would still die in the end. So, is there any difference between whether the soldiers and horses belong to him or not?

If it can be left, it is his, but if it cannot be left, he will be dragged down by this war.

So in this situation, even Jin Jiang himself wants to hold back the enemy as much as possible, and save as many of his troops as possible.

"Your Majesty, the three groups of soldiers and horses have different strengths. Although there are more than 3 soldiers and horses in Japan, they are not good at attacking cities. Therefore, we can stop them with [-] soldiers, and even [-] soldiers are enough. Well, as long as we don't leave the city, [-] soldiers and horses can stop them. Goguryeo's soldiers and horses are relatively stronger, and we can send [-] soldiers and horses to defend the city. On the other side of Baekje, [-] soldiers There are enough horses, there are [-] soldiers and horses left here in Wangcheng."
