Chapter 1359 Great Battle(1/2)

"The King of Luzon was appointed as the governor of Luzon, and specially granted the title of military commander, civilian, wealth, and government of the Luzon Kingdom. The military title of Zhenhai!"

"I was appointed as the governor of Mulu County Prince Lie Mulu Jie, and specially granted the title of honor to take charge of the military and civilian finances of Mulu County Kingdom, and granted the military name Dingyuan."

·······

In the golden palace, the eunuch read the edict loudly.

The court granted the titles of princes, kings, and princes to be granted the title of military commander and the title of military commander. The Duke of the State, Duke of the County, Duke of the County, and Duke of the County, were all given the title of defense envoy and the title of military commander.

The county magistrate, county magistrate, and county men were all given the regiment training envoy and the regiment training number, and the troops led by him were named the Tang Dynasty's regiment training number.

The title of Jiedushi, the title of Tang Dynasty, were very temporary titles, used to command and control the military and political affairs of several states during wartime to facilitate command and control of logistics.

Now, the court granted the titles of Jiedu, Defense Envoy, and Co-training Envoy to the princes, which is actually a recognition of the titles of the princes to support military and manage their affairs. These names are the envoys of the court, and asking the princes to add these envoys also means that although the princes founded the country, they still belonged to the court's ministers.

Parliament, House of Nobles.

Now there are more than 8,000 nobles in the Tang Dynasty, more than 5,000 real nobles, and more than 3,000 real nobles who have obtained the qualifications of a member of parliament as well as adults. These more than 3,000 members finally selected more than 300 nobles and entered the Hanjing Noble Academy as senators.

"Now the House of Nobles votes on the application for military service submitted by Duke Liuqiu Zhang Jing. Please vote in turn."

The noble president Wei Zheng presided over the meeting.

The princes shall not cross the boundaries of territory privately. If they develop troops from outside, they must first apply to the court.

This time, Liuqiu's troops did not go to explore colonization, but received a request from Luzon King Zhang Chao to send troops to support the indigenous peoples in Luzon.

The application was submitted to the court and submitted to the parliamentary aristocratic house for review, and finally the senators voted.

Wei Zheng began to call out the name. Every time he read the name of a senator, the senator needed to reply to approval or objection.

“Agree!”

“Agree!”

“Agree!”

·······

Duke of Liu Qiu, Zhang Jing, was the eldest son of Zhang Chao, the King of Luzon. His son sent troops to help me pacify the indigenous people who were dissatisfied with the country. This was as natural as the son paying his father's debt.

What's more, Zhang Chao has such a great influence in the parliament and the government and the opposition.

No surprises in the vote, there were many supporters, and they all agreed.

Voting is very fast.

According to the Parliament’s constitution, as long as more than half of the people agree, it will be passed. A total of 360 senators in the Parliament were approved, and finally passed it directly with 360 votes.

"Three hundred and sixty votes in favor, zero votes against, now, I announce that the vote will be passed. Liuqiu County Duke, Zhendong Jiedushi, the Zhendong Jiedushi, can lead Zhendong Army to send troops to Luzon to assist the King of Luzon and Zhenhai Jiedushi Zhang Chao to use troops to the indigenous peoples in the country."

The mallet fell heavily and made a loud noise.

This is the first time the Senate voted for the proposal of the princes to send troops, and it passed unanimously, which made everyone feel very good.

Bashang Grassland, Zhangbei.

The King of Mulu County, Marshal of the Southern Ya, and Marshal of the Northern Expedition, Su Dingfang, led a large army to form the grassland.

The Bashang Grassland in July is very cool.

On the open dam, the Tang army formed a formation.

The eighty thousand infantry were composed of one infantry formation after another, and the two wings were 40,000 cavalry units. The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the princes served as the rear army and the general reserve team.

On the green grassland, countless red flags of the Tang army.

To the north of the Tang army were the Tiel tribes led by Xueyantuo Khan Yi Nan, as well as the coalition forces of Shiwei, Mohe, Wu, Xi, and Khitan tribes.

There are 300,000 coalition forces, claiming to be 500,000.

Countless soldiers and horses almost filled the entire grassland with no margins.

Su Dingfang was wearing a helmet and armor, and under the command of the commander's flag, he looked excited. He commanded such a huge military force and wanted to fight such a huge enemy. If it weren't for Zhang Chao, Li Jing, and Li Ji, it wouldn't be his turn. Even Qu Tutong, Liu Hongji and others would have much more qualifications than him.

"Your Majesty promised Wang Xuance that he would be named Prince of Tanisha after he captured Tanisha. You said, if I defeat such an enemy army later, what is enough for the court to enfeoff me?"

Su Dingfang gave up guarding Zhangjiakou, Datong, and even gave up guarding Zhangbei City. He ran to this endless dam grassland to force the Yi Nan to fight to the decisive battle.

He wants the Yi Nan to think that there is an opportunity.

However, even if you give up the city and fight on the grassland, Yi Nan would not be able to win.

Today is the day of Yi Nan's death and it is also the day when Su Lie is in power.

The wind roars and the horse neighs.

The two armies faced each other, but no one immediately launched an attack.

"Or why should we attack first?" asked a staff officer.

Su Dingfang shook his head.

"Don't worry, Tiel will definitely be even more impatient."

The opponent is basically all cavalry, if you ride a horse, it will be fine. They have stronger mobility, so they have a stronger desire to attack.

However, Su Dingfang did not think that they were all cavalry. Even if they were riding a horse, the 80,000 infantry behind him could still be considered cavalry. Because these infantry were all cavalry infantry.

But did the Tang Dynasty consider them to be cavalry?

No.

The division of troops in the Tang Dynasty was very strict. Cavalry was not only a horse-riding soldier, but also received strict training. Cavalry was strictly trained, and war horses were also strictly trained. They were well-equipped, and each cavalry had three war horses. The cavalry had bows, rifles, knives, and even three-eyed guns. They also had cavalry armor and cavalry shields.

Cavalry are divided into heavy cavalry and light cavalry. Among the heavy cavalry, there are also cavalry with armored cavalry and armored personnel, as well as heavy cavalry with only helmets and breastplates.

Among the light cavalry, there are several types.

Among them, the light cavalry, which is the main weapon, is good at assaulting the enemy's defense line at speed.

The main weapon is that the rangers are good at riding and shooting.

Cavalry with spears and muskets as the main weapons and equipped with screw armor can resist the infantry phalanx to a certain extent, because their spears are nine-foot spears, equipped with firearms and grenades, and equipped with iron armor, which has good attack capabilities against the infantry phalanx.

This kind of light cavalry is called a lancer.

Hussar, Ranger, Lancer, and three types of light cavalry are good at assault, cavalry, and breaking formations.

Of course, the one who has the ability to break the formation is the heavy cavalry.

Armored cavalry is the most powerful heavy cavalry, known as the Dragoon, while heavy cavalry equipped with chest plate armor is known as the Iron Cavalry.

With just one cavalry, the Tang Dynasty had two categories: lightness and weight.

Any cavalry equipment can make Tieler people drool.

Even the infantry of the Tang army was not unable to fight against the cavalry.

These infantry also have light and heavy infantry, including sword and shield infantry, spear and infantry, crossbow and infantry, musket and infantry, and even special artillery.

Su Dingfang did give up the fortress of the city and took the initiative to come to the grassland where there was no danger to defend to fight.

But these hundreds of thousands of Emperor Guards are a moving fortress fortress.

He didn't even need chariots to form a chariot on the grassland to protect him.

Because he didn't need it at all, the formation composed of these infantry and cavalry was not afraid of the grassland cavalry at all.

·······

opposite.

Zhenzhu Khan Yinan put down the Qianli Mirror in his hand and frowned.

Looking left and right, the Tang people's military formation was impeccable.

Especially in the sunshine, the armor on the Tang people was so envious that he was really drooling. Whether it was cavalry or infantry, almost everyone had armor. Even many war horses were covered with iron armor and leather armor, and the second most among infantry was leather armor.

Dogs bite hedgehog and have no idea how to get their mouths down.

"Khan, the few Tang people's cavalrymen, dare to go out of the city to fight. This is our chance to annihilate them in one fell swoop."

The Yi Nan stroked his beard and hesitated.

Compared with the luxurious equipment of the Tang people, although his number of people is far greater than that of the Tang army, the soldiers who were pieced together in various units were of various varied equipment, especially armor, which was very lacking. Most of them were wearing leather armor, and there were less than one in one with iron armor.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

If he retreats like this, who will believe him on the prairie in the future?

If you take a gamble, you will bet that the Tang army can't withstand the impact of so many cavalry. No matter how many armor and shields are there, they are still infantry.

Yi Nan nodded.

The sound of the horn sounded.

The tribes, who had been waiting for a long time, finally screamed in excitement.

The battle is about to begin, and you must grab a few more pieces of Han armor later. The dazzling iron armor is so jealous. One piece of armor can at least be worth more than a few cows and horses.
To be continued...
