Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 888 Tianwei
The first day of July.

General Qin Qiong Yu Chigong defeated General Liu Wuzhou who was stationed at Xixing Pass to find his prime minister. The soldiers and horses crossed Gouzhu Mountain, crossed the Great Wall and entered Mayi County.

Li Shimin, Chai Shao, Li Deliang, Li Shuliang and other prisoners also followed the army.They were watched by a group of Qin soldiers, each riding a Turkic horse, and followed the emperor's guards not far behind.

The four generals of the defeated army were silent, watching the solemn and orderly appearance of the Qin army marching, but they were secretly amazed in their hearts.

They were especially amazed at the number of Qin cavalry, which accounted for more than [-]% of the total army, and heavy cavalry accounted for [-]% of the cavalry.Even if it is infantry, half of the infantry is mounted on horseback, and the remaining half of the infantry does not ride horses, but they have nine pack horses per fire.

The soldiers of the Sui Army stipulated that there should be six pack horses per fire, and six mules and horses for ten people per fire, not for riding, but for carrying equipment.At the time of Kaihuang, the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty even had eight pack horses per fire.

But now the Qin army has nine pack horses per fire, which is beyond the most prosperous period of the Sui Dynasty.

The Qin army is organized in groups of three, with three groups as fire and five fire as a team, plus the deputy flag bearer and two flag guards at the head of the team, so there are exactly 50 people in a team.

Therefore, one fire, three groups of nine men and nine pack horses has actually reached the point where each infantry is equipped with a pack horse.In the Sui Dynasty, there were ten people in Yihuo, and eight packs for ten people. In fact, it has not yet reached the point where one pack is carried by each hand.

From now on, we can see the elite of the Qin army.

In comparison, Li Tang in Guanzhong is far behind.

When Li Shimin led an army of 5 into Hedong, he had [-] horses, of which only [-] cavalry accounted for [-]%.There are only five pack horses per fire among the infantry, two packs per pack, and there are no mounted infantry at all.In terms of equipment and training, it is far inferior to the Qin army.

"Their cavalry are equipped with two horses." Chai Shao said to Li Shimin.

Li Shuliang sighed, "All the cavalry of the Qin army are equipped with bows and arrows, and the cavalry and infantry archers are even equipped with double bows, five strings and three bags of arrows."

"The cavalry all have armor, the infantry has [-]% iron armor, and the rest are all wearing leather armor. All above the fire commander have Mingguang armor." Li Deliang said.

Li Shimin is more concerned about the soldiers of the Qin Army. "Those who are above the fire chief of the Qin Army are all veterans. Their soldiers also wear bronze medals on their shoulders, with different patterns and distinct classes."

The bronze medals on the shoulders distinguish the ranks of soldiers, and the color of the helmet tassels distinguishes the regiments. Coupled with the team flags, battalion flags, regiment flags, compartment flags, and army flags, the Qin army can march forward even though it is numerous. At that time, it was orderly and orderly, and there was no chaos at all.

Not to mention, when the Qin army marched, there were military musicians beating gongs and trumpets.

Li Shimin felt a sense of powerlessness.

How did Datang fight Qin Jun?

Although the current Qin army has not yet unified the world, its elite is even far superior to that of the government soldiers in Kaihuang's reign.It has been battle-tested, brave and able to fight, especially rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and rewards and punishments are paid for meritorious deeds, which made the Qin army extremely strong in fighting will.

Although all the troops of Luo Cheng's Qin State added up to only 50 people, the total number of soldiers and horses recruited and reorganized by the Tang Army several times before and after was also 60 to [-], but it was completely incomparable.

In Qin Jun's body, there is always an impassioned spirit, which Tang Jun lacks.

"I think Luo Cheng is comparable to Liu Yu, Murong Chui, or Yu Wenyong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

Needless to say, Liu Yu and Murong Chui, after the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms, the two strongest men in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Murong in the North and Liu Yu in the South, were almost unrivaled people who swept the world.

And Yu Wenyong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was also a fierce man. The Central Plains experienced hundreds of years of turmoil in the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and was able to reunify. After being supported by his uncle, he endured humiliation for several years, and finally killed Yu Wenhu in one fell swoop. Then he reformed the system, continued to implement the land equalization system, and improved the military system, and took back the military power from the Zhu Kingdom and the governors. If he hadn't died in his thirties, if he hadn't died in his thirties, what happened to Yang Jian later.

"Perhaps Luo Cheng suddenly died in battle in Daibei, or died of Liu Shi, or died of a sudden illness. There are still variables in this world, otherwise Luo Cheng will dominate the Central Plains."

Chai Shao said pessimistically.

"But the whole state of Qin is monolithic, especially the Qin army. Although the rebellion of generals like Liu Wuzhou and Wang Junkuo happened, it didn't affect the whole. Li Shishi shook his head.

Yes, pinning their hopes on such illusory things, doesn't it also explain their despair?
Mayi County City, Shanyang.

Emperor Qin led an army of [-] soldiers to the city. After hearing this, the people in the city not only did not panic at all, but even looked forward to it.

Mayi guard general Wang Wu summoned the soldiers and civilians in the city to resist to the death, but everyone reacted.He was sent to recruit the young and strong in the city to help defend the city, but the people shut the door tightly and refused.

The emperor sent envoys to the city to persuade the city to surrender.

Facing the overwhelming Great Qin Red Legion below the city, although there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in Mayi City, the main general is deeply powerless.

People admire the strong.

Daqin is the most powerful legion today, what's more, their military discipline is strict, and many soldiers and civilians in Mayi City were rescued by Emperor Qin during the last Turkic invasion.

The common people are afraid of the Turkic people, and they don't like Liu Wuzhou's army, especially those women. When they meet the Turkic army women, they can't help but tremble all over, because no one can trust these Turkic wolves.

But when they saw Qin Jun appearing, instead of being afraid, they even sometimes showed a touch of charm on their faces when they watched them pass by.

Especially many unmarried and marriageable teenagers will blush when they look at the majestic Qin soldiers, their tall and straight, their strong bodies and resolute faces under the neat red uniforms.

After seeing the soldiers of the Qin Army, many teenagers would dream of marrying a soldier of the Qin Army.

The army has no fighting spirit.

The people even refused to help defend the city.

The guards in the city had to order Kaesong to surrender.

He wanted to resist at first, but all the rich and powerful families in the city came to persuade him to join him. Looking at these people, the guard knew that he had no choice. Most of the [-] guards in Mayi City were these people children.

They don't want to keep it anymore, so even if he wants to keep it, he can't keep it.

"I'm just a small military envoy, how can I resist such military power?"

After the city lord Wang Wu finally decided to open the city and surrender, everyone in the city heaved a sigh of relief.

The generals passed the order happily, and the soldiers opened the city gate eagerly.

The rich and powerful merchants in the city of Mayi embraced Wang Wu and other generals, and came out of the city to surrender.

"Criminal General Wang Wu pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Grassmen...greetings to the Supreme Majesty!"

·······
Under the city, under the banner of the Qin army, the emperor smiled and asked them to live without courtesy. Qin Qiong led a light cavalry into the city, took over the city defense, and all [-] soldiers and horses in the city surrendered!
