Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 810 Hulao
When the emperor made his first expedition to the east, he mobilized millions of troops, but at that time, there were only a few generals who could command more than 10 troops, Duan Wenzhen, who formulated the strategy, and Yu Zhongwen, who commanded the troops.

Whether it is Luo Cheng, Luo Yi, or Xue Shixiong, Wei Wensheng, Yang Yichen, Lai Huer, Yu Wenshu and other generals, it can be said that none of them had the ability to command an army of more than [-] at that time.

With the level of communication in this era, battles with less than a hundred people can be commanded verbally.But a thousand soldiers and horses must have horns and banners.For an army of ten thousand people, there must be special messenger cavalry and so on.

As for the army of 10 people, it is really possible to stand in a row for ten miles, and to line up on the battlefield for more than ten miles.

Once you start a fight, you can't control it without any extraordinary ability, let alone command it.

There is an idiom called Han Xin order soldiers, the more the better.

Han Xin in the early Han Dynasty was a great man who could command more than 10 soldiers, and Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was actually a great man who could command [-] soldiers despite repeated defeats.

Of course, if it is more than [-], he will die.

So Liu Bang led an army of more than 50, but Pengcheng was defeated.

In the final decisive battle between Chu and Han, as many as 70 million Han troops were led by Han Xin.

Even Xiang Yu, who is invincible in singles, is actually just a general commanding 10 people.

In the Sui Dynasty, there were so many powerful generals, but Yang Su, Shi Wansui, He Ruobi, Han Qinhu, Gao Jiong, Wei Xiaokuan and a few other generals were the ones who could truly command more than [-] legions.

There are indeed many Li Mi soldiers, claiming to be one million, but in fact there are 60. Even if they lost some in several battles with Dou Jiande, Li Mi, and Du Fuwei, there are still 50.

But these 50 people have to be divided into more than ten counties.

At the same time, when dealing with Wang Shichong, who has less than 10 troops, Li Mi does not need to transfer all his soldiers and horses. Too many soldiers are difficult to command, and they will consume a lot of food and grass, which will bring collapse-level pressure to the logistics.

Therefore, facing Wang Shichong, who only had more than 10 elites, Li Mi brought only [-] people to fight him in Beimang Mountain.

It cannot be said that Li Mito is big, but this force is enough.

In fact, Li Mi's ability is a fierce man who can command a [-]-level army to fight, but unfortunately he still has too many soldiers.

Although Luo Siye was also fighting everywhere, he thought he could only command 5 to 10 horses. If it was [-] horses, he already lacked sufficient experience and overall perspective.

Only brother Luo Cheng was able to command hundreds of thousands of troops to fight on multiple battlefields at the same time. This kind of planning was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

It is said that Li Jing, Xu Shiji, and Su Dingfang under the brothers' command are all commander-type talents. Although they have not fought a battle with a level of 10, the emperor said that they will be able to command a battle with a level of more than 30 in time.

Those who can command tens of thousands of people can be called generals, and those who can command tens of thousands of people can already be called generals.

As for commanding 10 people, he can be handsome.

Commanding 10 people is a famous commander.

"Li Mi's real surrender?"

Feng Xiaoci is more concerned about this.

"Li Mi voted for Laizheng in Luokou Cang. Laizheng collected his more than a thousand troops, and then sent Qingqi to send him to Cunxiao in Dongjun. Now Cunxiao has sent him to Donglai, and from there he took a boat to Fan Yang is here. Calculate the time, he will be here in a few days." Luo Cheng said with a smile.

It doesn't matter if Li Mi's surrender is real or not, because Li Mi has already entered the Qin camp, and the letter of persuasion written by him is now in effect.

For example, Bing Yuanzhen, who was stationed at Hulao Pass, was originally promoted by Luo Cheng when he was the ambassador of Henan to arrest him. After Luo Cheng left, he transferred to Zhang Xutuo's command.In the battle of Daihai Temple, he was captured and surrendered to Li Mi.

In the past few years, Li Mi still regarded him highly.

Therefore, the old boss Luo Cheng personally sent someone to recruit Bing Yuanzhen before, but he did not turn against him.

But now, Li Mi personally gave him a letter persuading him to surrender to Daqin.

Now Bing Yuanzhen has no reason to stick to it anymore. Li Mi has already gone to join Daqin, so why is he still fighting alone?

So Bing Yuanzhen asked Luo Cunxiao of Dongjun to surrender, and Cunxiao over there immediately led his troops to meet him. Although there were still some soldiers in Xingyang County who refused to surrender, under the pincer attack of Bing Yuanzhen of Hulao and Luo Cunxiao of Dongjun, they still managed to surrender. It was quickly defeated.

The current situation is so good that people can sleep and laugh out loud.

With such a good situation, even Feng Xiaoci, who has always been prudent, couldn't help but suggest that, taking advantage of the fact that both Zheng and Wei were in danger, he immediately summoned all the troops from Huainan in Shandong to enter Henan, and wiped out Wang Shichong who had lost his lair with lightning speed. Then, they took the opportunity to take over all of Li Mi's territory, so as not to give other surrounding ministries any chance.

"If Luoyang is captured and Henan is pacified, then the general situation of the world will be determined."

Already occupying more than half of Hebei, half of Hedong, and the whole of Shandong and Huainan, if Henan is captured now, the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty will be settled immediately.

Dou Jiande in Hebei, Li Yuan in Guanzhong, Xiao Xian, Shen Faxing, Lin Shihong and others in Jiangnan are nothing to be afraid of.

"There is Dou Jiande in Hebei and Yang Yichen in Hebei. If we attack Henan with all our strength now, we can only use the four armies in Huainan and Shandong." Luo Cheng summoned these three commanders today, which is actually an old problem before.

If Dou Jiande or Yang Yichen are not attacked for a day, it will be difficult for them to go south.

But the legions in Huainan, Shandong Province, seemed a little lonely.

It turned out that Luo Cheng's strategy was to go north and then south, first wipe out Dou Jiande in Hebei, then the Northern Army went south to join forces with the Huanghuai Army, and then attacked Luoyang and Chang'an westward to seal the victory in one fell swoop.

"The cold wind has not yet blown. After half a year of rest and training, our Dingxiang army can now attack with the whole army."

Siye's Dingxiang Road has Dingxiang County, Zhuo County, and Yunnei County. Although the total population is only about 10, there are still [-] Turks in Monan, so his Dingxiang The army consists of two armies, which are divided into left and right armies.The left army is dominated by the Han army, supplemented by the Turkic Tiele people, led by Siye, and the right army is dominated by the Turkic army, supplemented by the Han army, and led by Luo Simo.

The two armies plus two tooth soldiers, a total of 5 people.

"Recently, two old guys, Yang Yichen and Xiao Yu, often come to tackle key problems, and they are very annoying. If Your Majesty wants to send troops, my Yiwu Army can dispatch 8000 people from both sides to fight." Although Liu Wuzhou has two armies, he only has three. In the land of the county, half of Mayi was designated as Yunnei County last time. In terms of population, he is not as large as Siye, and there are not so many Turkic people attached to him. Therefore, in terms of strength, he is far inferior to Siye.

It is claimed that there are two armies left and right of Yiwu, but in fact, although the two armies have [-] soldiers, there are only [-] combat soldiers, and the rest are auxiliary soldiers.

Even if he wanted to, he was powerless.

Feng Xiaoci in Hengshan Town has only one army, [-] people still have to guard against Yang Yichen in the east of the river, and Song Jingang and Zhen Dier in the south, not to mention Dou Jiande in the southeast all the time. You have to protect Beijing Fan Yang.
