The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 247 The emperor ordered generals and the army set off for battle

632 AD.

Emperor Li Chengdao of the Tang Dynasty issued an expedition to Goguryeo. The troops were divided into two armies, land and water, and sent 30 troops to directly attack Yangping City.

On the third day of April, the day the White Robe Army set off for the expedition.

On this day, there were crowds of people outside Chang'an City.

After learning that the emperor was going to send troops to attack Goguryeo and hold a swearing-in ceremony, almost the entire city of Chang'an rushed to the southern suburbs to send off the army.

Li Chengdao took a dragon chariot out of the city gate and personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to swear an oath for the white robe army.

Southern Suburban Military Camp,

On the Xuanwu campus, a three-foot-tall dot tower stands among them.

In front of the general point platform, [-] white-robed troops were neatly and majestic, and [-] northwest cavalry stood in armor. One white and one black seemed to form a sharp contrast, and one could not see the end at a glance.

And on the Wei River, there are even huge ships stretching for dozens of miles!It's full of sailors!
Among those participating in the swearing-in ceremony today, except for all the navy troops, only part of the rest of the army has arrived. The rest of the army will join the expedition team from the base after departure.

But even so, the troops present today are still suffocating. Their faces and eyes are full of murderous intent, and their fighting spirit is boiling!
The White Robe Army was the most brave and elite in the world. After ascending the throne, Li Chengdao controlled the number of White Robe Army to 8.

As soon as the entire army of [-] soldiers went to the battlefield, they forgot about life and death and dared to fight and fight to the death!
The Northwest Heavy Cavalry is even more elite among the elite. Although there are only [-] troops in Chang'an, their momentum is not weaker than that of the White Robes!
This is your Majesty’s elite army!

Wei Zheng, who was following Li Chengdao, was even more emotional when he saw such a large army, and blurted out: "The troops stationed in the army are as solid as the mountains and cannot be shaken.

Slowly marching, the ranks are as orderly as the forest trees.

As motionless as a mountain, as slow as a forest, the white-robed army and the northwest cavalry...are truly the best in the world!"

After Li Chengdao arrived, a big man with big muscles and a round waist picked up a drumstick that was slightly thicker than an adult's arm and hit the tiger skin drum hard.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of the drums spread for miles around, and the sound of the drums was so passionate that every beat seemed to hit everyone's heart.

Whether it was the soldiers present, the civil and military officials in the court, or the people of Chang'an, all felt excited.

Xue Wanche stood in front of the army, knelt down on one knee, and shouted in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please come to the stage and order the generals!"

The general platform is three feet high, with a total of 27 steps. Every time Li Chengdao goes up three steps, a dull sound of war drums will be heard.

Three steps and one drum is very particular.

When he stands on the general stage, the drum will sound nine times.

As the last drum beat fell, Li Chengdao also stepped onto the general stand, and then all the troops knelt down and shouted loudly: "See your majesty!"

They move in unison and in unison.

The strict discipline of the army shocked the civil and military officials as well as the people.

However, Li Chengdao was calm and calm. He had long been accustomed to such scenes. He waved his imperial crown and said calmly: "All the soldiers are safe."

Every gesture and gesture is filled with endless imperial majesty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The army stood up together again, still in uniform order.

Li Chengdao stood on the general stage, and the broad bright yellow imperial crown was blown by the wind.

The entire school grounds fell silent, including the people watching, with only the sound of the wind blowing.

Li Chengdao's eyes passed over the soldiers one by one from left to right, and said in a deep voice: "Last year, just after the drought and locust plague, the national power was empty, but I am going to raise troops to go on an expedition to Goguryeo this year. I know there is opposition in the country, but this is A must-do!”

“The Turks, Tubos, Goguryeo, and Xueyantuo were all surrounded by foreign tribes on the border of our country, the Tang Dynasty. Foreign tribes invaded the border frequently, which made our country have no peace.

"When the Turks invaded the border, I raised my troops to defeat them and told all the foreign races what the power of the Tang Dynasty was! However, even so, it still failed to deter other countries. Goguryeo was even more arrogant and challenged my bottom line many times!"

"For this kind of alien race, I have only one way to deal with it. Over there is——"

"Total extermination!"

Li Chengdao's tone seemed to be filled with the spirit of fighting and fighting.At the same time, tens of thousands of troops roared in unison:
"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The sound is shocking.

Li Chengdao looked into the palace and shouted: "Where is Han Xin!"

The sound is like thunder, blasting into the sky.

"The end is here!"

An ordinary-looking man knelt down holding a knife, it was Han Xin!
"Han Xing's soldiers are like gods and are good at strategies. I appoint you as the generalissimo of the Eastern Campaign. You have the responsibility of coordinating all the troops!"

Han Xin suddenly raised his head when he heard this, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. He did not expect that Li Chengdao would actually give him the position of generalissimo.

And this kind of trust is enough to make him die for it!

"The last general takes orders!"

Han Xin immediately cupped his fists.

"Where is Yue Fei!"

"The end is here!"

Xue Wanche, tall and tall, stepped out on horseback.

"Xue Wanche is brave and resourceful, and is a great general. I order you to be the chief general of the White Robe Army, commanding [-] White Robe Army!"

"The last will obey!"

Xue Wanche cupped his fists and accepted the order.

"Where is Yue Fei!"

Yue Fei came out of the army and knelt down under the general's platform.

"Yue Fei uses his troops prudently and magnificently. I order you to be the commander-in-chief of the Bianzhou Navy, commanding a hundred thousand naval troops, and attack Goguryeo from the waterway!"

Li Chengdao ordered in a deep voice.

Han Xing has a strong view of the overall situation, his military strategy is even better than that of Yue Fei, and he is highly offensive, so he is suitable as a generalissimo.

Yue Fei used his troops prudently, and the navy he formed was invincible against the Goguryeo navy, so it was perfect for him to lead the navy.

"The last will obey!"

Yue Fei did not complain at all about not being the generalissimo, and looked calm.

After a series of appointments of generals, Li Chengdao waved his sleeves and said suddenly: "Soldiers! Are you confident in annihilating Goguryeo in one fell swoop?"

"Roar--!"

All the troops were furious, looking up to the sky and roaring.

"Until the blood is shed, we will fight to the death! If the Tang Dynasty has warriors, who can compete with them!"

"Until the blood is shed, we will fight to the death! If the Tang Dynasty has warriors, who can compete with them!"

"Until the blood is shed, we will fight to the death! If the Tang Dynasty has warriors, who can compete with them!"

All the soldiers roared three times and swore to fight.

"This battle must be won!"

Li Chengdao pulled out the Emperor's Sword from his waist, raised his arms and shouted!
"Must win—!"

Not only all the soldiers, but also the countless Chang'an people, civil and military officials who were watching were all excited, and they even started shouting.

This battle must be won!
