Reincarnation of the Heavens: Starting from Hong Kong Comprehensive

Chapter 355
The main road, which is about three feet wide, extends to the east, west, north and south, horizontally and vertically, and runs through the four gates. There are no obstacles in between.

Different environments bring different moods to people.

Dunhuang Tucheng flourished with singing and dancing, Hu and Han blended together, and there were enthusiastic female slaves with slender waists everywhere.

Shanzhou is the complete opposite. This city is a military fortress, but it occupies a relatively large area. Once a war breaks out, troops can be quickly dispatched through simple and flat roads.

With the arrival of 13 troops, the repair work was quickly completed. Before nightfall, Li Jingxuan and Liu Shenli, two senior men with the highest official rank and almost the most respected officials, led the generals on patrol to show a certain attitude to the soldiers and the people. .

Five steps and one post, tightly guarded.

Although it is just the simplest double armor worn to protect the front and back, and expose the linen lining, it does make it possible for everyone to have armor.

At this moment, the soldiers all stood as straight as trees, remaining motionless despite the cold wind blowing.

Seeing this situation, Meng Fan naturally saw that the military spirit was fully ready. These athletes had just been recruited from all over the country. They were named warriors by the country and were trained meticulously on weekdays.

I just don't know if they will be timid in a real fight and whether they can withstand a last-ditch battle.

After patrolling the streets and inspecting a circle of city towers and arrow towers that had been repaired by stonemasons, the generals from each battalion also returned to discuss matters——

They had to make sure there wouldn't be a camp roar incident.

What is Yingxiao?

Many military commanders regard it as a taboo and talk about it with disdain. Even if hot weapons appear in later generations, generals will panic when they hear this word.

Especially now, we are only one step away from the war, and we saw the scene of the Tubo massacre during the day. The soldiers are very likely to be too stressed and shout unconsciously in their sleep, which will then cause a chain reaction, causing everyone to become confused and trapped. The dangerous situation of madness.

Therefore...old soldiers with battlefield experience, and even low-level generals, will not close their eyes tonight. If anyone shouts in his sleep, he will be immediately gagged and dragged to a separate remote barracks to be imprisoned.

"Everyone, let's start the discussion."

Li Jingxuan knew that he could only talk on paper. Coupled with the influence of Meng Fan, the military advisor, he was now almost delegating power, opening up his voice, and was only responsible for making decisions.

On the side, Liu Shenli remained silent. As a general, he was the minister of the Ministry of Industry in the center. He had no more battlefield experience than the commander, and he was not both civil and military.

But one thing is stronger, that is, he is ready to die in battle to serve his country. He even brought his only son who was responsible for carrying the body back to his hometown, and left a young grandson in Chang'an.

Before the atmosphere fell into silence, an imposing veteran spoke. He had a high nose and deep eyes, and was obviously of Hu origin. He pointed to the west of the map and said:
"The Stone Castle is in this direction."

"It's difficult to attack, but with the 13 troops we have in hand, we should have a chance of winning."

Meng Fan asked calmly: "How much will it cost?"

The robe remains the same.

However, no one will ignore him.

Regardless of his identity as the Queen's nephew, Tongyou and Xuan's abilities are worthy of everyone's attention.

Veteran Li Jinxing thought carefully and said:
"It's impossible to take it down without tens of thousands of people dying... But if we don't occupy this place, the safety of Longyou cannot be guaranteed. In order to avoid being attacked from east to west during the official war with Tibet, we must take it down!"

"Ten thousand people?"

Chief Manager Li Jingxuan frowned, obviously frightened by this number.

War is not a game.

Soldiers are not cold data.

One out of ten people must die, what is the concept? Besides, most of the camp is a group of new recruits who have no experience in fighting on the battlefield. It will be difficult to say what passion and patriotism are at that time.

"The attitude of the imperial court and the saints is very clear. This time it is not about defending the country, but about actively attacking."

The veteran Li Jinxing did not go along with the manager and calmly stated the facts. Although the two were from the same family, they were not related by blood. His surname was Li——

The Sumo Mohe tribe, the son of Duke Tu Diji of the state of Yong, entered the officialdom in Menyin. Emperor Taizong Wen gave him a special national surname. He was first appointed as the general of Zuojian Gate Guard. He followed the army in the eastward expedition to Goguryeo and later served as the governor of Yingzhou. He dominated the border and became the Khitan, Goguryeo was afraid of this and repeatedly suppressed border rebellions.

The most important thing is that he not only conquered the east, but also had experience in conquering the west. In the past, the Tubo general Lun Qinling attacked Huangzhong and used the empty city strategy to retreat the enemy.Last year, he defeated Tubo. Now he is the general of Youwei and canonized as Duke of Yan.

After all, war is a national event. Neither Li Jingxuan nor Liu Shenli has the experience of leading an army. Someone must take the lead at the critical moment and lead a group of young generals to support the situation.And this is Duke Yan.

From the main seat, Li Jingxuan glanced at him angrily and said in a deep voice: "If this is a heavy loss, how do you want me to explain it to the court?"

"Taking Stone Castle City is a great achievement."

"What if we can't win it? So many people will die in vain and morale will be damaged!"

"As soon as the stone fort was in the hands of the Tibetans, the Tang Dynasty would not be at peace. Not to mention the 18 troops, even the 28 athletes had to be scattered along the Longyou Road for defense, unable to concentrate their strength."

The young and strong faction dare not speak.

Wang Xiaojie, the deputy general manager whose words are useless, is not senior enough.

Lou Shide, a civilian with the army.

Hei Te Changzhi, the deputy envoy of the Heyuan Army, is responsible for the vanguard and surprise troops, and cannot interfere in the general direction.

All eyes turned to Liu Shenli, who was watching his nose and his heart. He was the minister of the Ministry of Industry and a big shot in the central government. If he had an iron head and the old general Li Jinxing, he really wouldn't be afraid of the chief executive.

Liu Shenli turned his attention to the military advisor.

Grinding the gun before the battle, unhappy also light.

Since Meng Fan joined the army, he has been walking among the generals to ensure that his words can be used to the best of his ability, not to become a mascot or a life-saving straw, and to strive for the initiative.

Therefore, we also know how important the stone fortress in the west is. As Duke Yan said, taking this important border city will make the offensive and defensive momentum between Tang Dynasty and Tubo different!

"The imperial court has been busy suppressing the Liaodong rebellion in recent years, so that Tubo has intensified its efforts. Now the saint has become angry with thunder, and the stone castle is famous all over the world. Capturing this place must be a great achievement."

"Only the countries in the Western Region can strengthen their confidence in us." Meng Fan said a lot of nonsense.

However, I also let everyone know my attitude.

Upon seeing this, Liu Shenli no longer sat on the wall and echoed ambiguously: "Stone Castle is a battleground for military strategists."

"Jiuru, it's not me who is timid."

Li Jingxuan changed his attitude towards Duke Yan and took the initiative to explain: "As soon as Guan Jian arrived at the border, the road was immediately blocked by heavy snow. Our Tang Dynasty and Tubo fought back and forth over that stone city several times. The casualties were incalculable. Tens of thousands of soldiers arrived. I really can't bear to lose my life there."

"How can a general have the kindness of a woman?"

The old general scolded him and did not give the general manager any face.

These words are cruel, but they are not true at all.

The military book written by Li Jing, the founding military god of the People's Republic of China, stated clearly:
To be a general, three out of ten soldiers must be killed, so as to frighten the enemy. Even if the situation is bad, one out of ten soldiers must be killed, so that the three armies can obey orders with trembling solemnity.

Of course, both kindness and power are given.

Since he is so iron-blooded, there must be corresponding kindness, such as not abandoning the sick.

A seriously injured person who cannot move can be carried by two donkeys and two people can be arranged to take care of him. The officer is responsible for supervising the meals and medical rounds.

If a sick person is abandoned, the inspector officer will be beaten with a hundred military sticks and ordered to find him; if the sick person dies as a result, or is ordered to be buried alive, the person involved will be beheaded on the spot regardless of his identity, in accordance with military law.

It's a pity... Now it's no longer the early Tang Dynasty when the emperor and his ministers were united and went all out to the outside world. Noise had always been forbidden in the army, but now Li Jinxing and Li Jingxuan were directly exchanging insults.

The latter quoted from scriptures and was very eloquent. In the past, he had always been successful in the court. However, when he met the former, he never opened his mouth when he could do anything. When he got excited, he directly responded with old fists.

Everyone quickly separated the two.

He is in a high position and his combined age is over a hundred years old, but he refuses to deal with it at all.

How can such a strange lineup defeat Tubo, which has a favorable geographical location?
Xue Rengui, who was famous in history in the past, lost his master here, and his reputation was ruined. If it were not for the great kindness to the two Tang emperors, his family would have been confiscated and destroyed long ago.

　I have just recovered from a bad cold, but I have been getting Yang around me one after another. I don’t know how long I can hold on... Save the manuscript, hoping that I will get Yang by then, and the two books will be updated continuously.
