After waiting for a while, a team of knights rode their horses along the river. . The fastest update

When they get closer, they will immediately get out of their way.

"The last general Yunhui General Yuchi Baolin paid a visit to the Grand Commander."

Yuchi Gong nodded to his son and responded with courtesy in the army.

"General Yunhui, but the Prime Minister asked you to come?"

Yuchi Baolin sent a letter from Li Chao, which was written by Li Chao, which talked about the troops he brought, five thousand soldiers of the Shenji Camp, and another 20,000 volunteer soldiers of His Majesty. Li Chao asked Yuchi Gong, the Grand Governor of the Right Army, to prepare for reception and prepare supplies.

"Twenty thousand volunteers?" Yuchi Gong's face was a little dark.

Sure enough, he really got so many mobs coming over. Why did he get so many people coming over? Are he scaring the Goguryeo people? When he thought that he had increased the pressure of 20,000 additional food, grass and weapons supply to the "Volunteer Army", he couldn't help but frown.

The face, which was already black like charcoal, became even darker.

"There is no problem in replenishing food and grass. There is still food stored here. But the military supplies are not enough. I am afraid that this governor will not be able to supply 25,000 people at once." Yuchi Gong sighed to his son.

Yuchi Baolin smiled and said to his father, "Please rest assured, the prime minister only requires the preparation of 25,000 food and grass for 25,000 people. As for the supply of military supplies, just hand over the gunpowder depot to us. The rest of the military supplies do not need to be replenished for the time being."

Yuchi Gong was shocked.

Li Chao came with 25,000 new recruits, but he still didn't have equipment yet. Are these 20,000 soldiers really soldiers? Or are these people named Volunteer Army, but they are actually just civilians brought by Li Xiang?

At this time, Yuchi Gong no longer told his son about military rules. He directly pulled his son over and came to him and shouted, "Tell me quickly, what the hell is Li Xiang doing? What are these volunteer soldiers? Are they civilians?"

Yuchi Baolin didn't dare to hide it from his father, and said everything at the moment.

"Pelven soldiers? Twenty thousand spear soldiers?" Yuchi Gong felt that Li Chao was crazy.

There is no such configuration. The Tang Dynasty’s government army basically uses teams as the basic combat unit, including both pure teams and flower teams.

The so-called pure team and flower team refer to the pure team that is fully equipped with a weapon in a team, such as a fully equipped spear, a fully equipped knife card, or a fully equipped bow. These are pure teams.

The Flower Team refers to the mixed army, and they are both infantrymen, but there may be spearmen, swordsmen, and archers in a team.

Generally speaking, at the first level of the team, there will be no mixed infantry and cavalry, but there will be more mixed melee and long-range melee.

Moreover, even if it is a pure team, it is only a single team of troops at the first level. Further up, it will be mixed. When it reaches a scale of more than a thousand people, it will also be mixed in infantry and cavalry.

Mixed organization can greatly improve combat effectiveness and enable the troops to have independent combat capabilities.

But now, his son actually told him that Li Chao brought 20,000 volunteer soldiers, but they were all spearmen. Is there such an army?

An army of 20,000 people is a fucking army, and it is also the worst army of spearmen.

"Dad, not 20,000 spearmen, but musketeers."

"If you set up a big firework, you are a musketeer? What's the use? The battlefield is not the New Year and the Festival. What's the use of setting fireworks for the enemy? It's so beautiful that they are?" Yuchi Gong said very dissatisfied.

And even if the generals with little experience should know that when fighting, they need military service. If you have 20,000 spearmen, can you fight this battle?

Volunteers who have no equipment or experience, even if they are covered with plains, they will really fight with the enemy. If the enemy uses bows and arrows to shoot at a long distance, how can they deal with it?

What if the enemy uses cavalry to break the formation?

Anyway, a simple 20,000 spearmen basically have no ability to adapt.

"Dad, he is a musketeer, not a spearman, so it's different."

"What's the difference? When it comes to flowers, at most they are pike soldiers who can set off fireworks."

Yuchi Baolin squatted while drawing circles. When she met such an unreasonable father and boss, what could he do?

Forget it, let the teacher personally prove it to my dad.

Yuchi Gong sighed and sighed.

Not in a good mood.

The Turks set up a southern invasion in Yugu, and Li Ji from Hedong responded to the enemy. Yuchi Gong also guarded against Yugu in Hebei, and transferred the on-duty troops to the northwest line of Youzhou, such as Jundu Pass and other lines in the northwest of Youzhou.

As a result, something happened in this order, and the Goguryeo suddenly came to kill.

The defense in the northeast direction of Youzhou was insufficient, allowing 50,000 Goguryeo people to break into the Hebei Plain.

Although Yuchi Gong quickly led his troops to meet the enemy, he had missed the best opportunity to block the Goguryeo people outside the Hebei Plain.

On the plains of Youzhou, Yuchi Gong led his troops to fight a few battles with the Goguryeo people, but he did not gain any advantage.

Because Yuchi Gong's troops were far less than the Goguryeo people, they had to separate some of them to guard the key areas in the northwest to prevent the Turks from taking the opportunity to knock on the gate at this time.

If it weren't for the bravery of Yuchi Gong and the elite soldiers of Youzhou, if it were anyone else, they might have been defeated and annihilated by the Goguryeo people. Those who can fight against the Goguryeo people have returned or returned, and they have not lost any city. It has fully proved that his name as the martial god of the Tang Dynasty is not a false reputation.

But Yuchi Gong was not proud of anything, he was just depressed. If he had more soldiers in his hands and if the Turks did not threaten the northwest, he could concentrate the soldiers in his hands and compete with the Goguryeo people in real terms, and he would definitely be able to beat them out.

But now I have to feel depressed.

Yuchi Gong was happy when Li Chao brought his troops to come, and he did not get angry because of a mother-in-law coming over his head. After all, Li Chao's reputation as a god-like soldier is still very bright.

But as soon as Li Chao came, he got 20,000 spearmen. Isn’t this a joke?

I felt so angry at the edge of the dock that I finally waited for Li Chao to arrive with his 20,000 spearmen.

Seeing that white robe, Yuchi Gong became even more depressed.

These white-robed volunteer soldiers did not even have helmets or armor, and even had leather or cloth armor. They seemed to be farmers who came to shop. Apart from carrying a long spear, they really couldn't feel that they had the smell of warriors.

It was indeed 20,000 spearmen, and there was nothing but spears. Yuchi Gong wanted to turn around and left, hoping that Li Chao would repel the Goguryeo people, but it seemed that he could not count on him.

It is said that Li Chao was crazy about gaining and losing his mind and messing around in the court, which was simply incompetent. Unexpectedly, now he has been going out to command troops and has actually created 20,000 spearmen. Alas, what are the functions of these people besides wasting military rations?

Li Chao met Yuchi Gong and greeted him cordially, but Yuchi Gong responded lukewarmly.

"General Yuchi, where are the Goguryeo people now?" Li Chao was very concerned about the current situation.

Yuchi Gong still had the expression of someone else borrowing his rice but returning it to his chaff. "I will fight with the Goguryeo people several times, and there are some casualties. At present, in Pingzhou, there are confrontations between the Goguryeo people across the water. The Goguryeo people surrounded Pingzhou City. The But I will not be able to break through the Goguryeo people's Rushui interception line and cannot rescue them. Pingzhou City is at risk at present."

After listening to the introduction, Li Chao understood the situation.

The Goguryeo people were unprepared for the surprise attack and entered the Hebei Plain. However, although the Tang army was not prepared enough to stop them from Hebei, they retreated to Guancheng and fought on their own, but they were also very timely.

The Goguryeo people plundered the countryside, but so far, they have not yet captured a city.

The four cities of Yuguan, Pingzhou City, Macheng, Shicheng, and Pingzhou were not lost. However, Yuchi Gong had too few soldiers and had to guard against the Turkic invasion in the northwest, so he could only use a small amount of troops to rescue Pingzhou. As a result, after several battles, they won and lost each other, but they could not break through the defense line set up by the Goguryeo people on the east bank of Rushui.

There were only three thousand defenders in Pingzhou City. They relied on the young and strong people in the city to defend the city, and tried their best to persevere until now, but they were almost at their limit.

If Yuchi Gong cannot break through the Goguryeo people's Rushui defense line, then Pingzhou Lulong City will really fall.

"Well, the situation is better than I expected. The Goguryeo people were unprepared for the surprise attack and caught us off guard, but they were also very incompetent. They had not even captured a city for so long. I was still worried that after entering the Hebei Plain, they would conquer cities and land, and even besiege Youzhou City."

Li Chao said relaxedly, as if he was not worried about Pingzhou City at all.

"The prime minister has no power, his subordinates, and his soldiers are few and few, so he cannot break through the defense line of the Goguryeo people." Yuchi said angrily.

Rushui is the Luan River in later generations. Pingzhou is located in the north of Tangshan in later generations, and to the west of Shanhaiguan.

To the west of Pingzhou is Jizhou, and to the past Jizhou is Youzhou.

Pingzhou is the throat from Hebei to western Liaoning, and Yuguan was originally the throat in the throat. But now the Goguryeo people have been called. Fortunately, Yuguan and other cities have not been lost. Although Yuchi Gong's troops are few, they have not been able to lift the siege of Pingzhou, but they have also defended the west bank of Rushui and did not let the Goguryeo people come here.

But the Goguryeo people were not in a hurry to call, because they did not take down these Guanchengs in Pingzhou, and if they did not take down these cities, they could not call them with confidence.

Now the Goguryeo people focus on besieging Pingzhou. If they capture Pingzhou, they have a stronghold, and then they can seize several other cities in Pingzhou, especially Yuguan. If Yuguan can be captured, then the Goguryeo army can be connected with their western Liaoning.

"The Prime Minister, the last general has prepared food, money and rewards in Youzhou. Please move the Prime Minister to Youzhou."

Li Chao waved his hand and looked northeast.

"Emergency relief is like putting out a fire. Pingzhou City is in danger. Every time we delay a quarter of an hour, Pingzhou City will be more dangerous, and the lives and property of the military and civilians in the city will be more dangerous. If you don't go to Youzhou, go directly to Pingzhou."

Yuchi Gong looked at the 25,000 troops behind Li Chao, especially the 20,000 extremely dazzling white-robed spearmen, and couldn't help but hesitate.

"Prince, are you waiting for it? The government troops from all over the country are already gathering and rushing to the fore."

"Not waiting for them, there are these 25,000 troops, plus the more than 10,000 troops in your hands, which is enough to lift the siege of Pingzhou." Li Chao waved his hand and said.

Yuchi Gong felt a little tooth pain.

Li Chao's 5,000 Shenji Camp, plus his 10,000 troops, could he defeat 50,000 Goguryeo people? He felt a little uneasy, but Li Chao had already issued an order and the entire army advanced towards Pingzhou.
