Chapter seven hundred and nineteen the soldiers are very fast
"No matter what, it will take time for Concubine Li and King Li to contain us. This is also our biggest advantage. We must capture Hangu Pass as soon as possible..."
Gao Jiong waved his hand to stop everyone's meaningless analysis and debate, looked seriously in the direction of Hangu Pass and reminded.
After a pause, he continued more bluntly: "According to our intelligence, Li Guo De's concubine recruits troops very quickly. Every time we delay, she can recruit several, dozens, or even hundreds of new soldiers. The offensive and defensive situation
Next, how many more children do we have to sacrifice?"
Among the Nine Heavenly Kings of the Sui Dynasty, He Ruobi, the Zhenwu King, favored force, while Gao Jiong, the Xuanxiang King, favored literature. Not only was he a great literary cultivator, but his wisdom and strategy were second to none, and he was recognized and respected by everyone.
King Zhenwu He Ruobi shook his head with disdain and spat: "Having said that, it is said that all the soldiers recruited are female soldiers and they are new troops. There is nothing to be afraid of. There is no one left in the Tang Dynasty!"
"So... in an offensive and defensive situation! What about female soldiers? As long as they can shoot and fight back, why do they need to go through so much training? Are our good men exchanged for the enemy's cheap female soldiers?" Gao Jiong frowned and emphasized.
"That's... just saying that!"
He Ruobi nodded awkwardly and agreed.
Pei Yuanqing asked for instructions at the right time: "Do we need to mobilize all the armies to attack Hangu Pass?"
"That's not necessary. We can just speed up the process according to the original plan!"
Gao Jong shook his head and objected without hesitation, then looked at Zhenwu King He Ruobi and said: "We need Lord He and General Zhengxi to send troops together to reach Hangu Pass as soon as possible and launch an offensive!"
"certainly……"
He Ruobi was extremely tall and had the same rank as Xuanxiang King Gao Jiong, and had no subordinate relationship.
However, he admired Gao Jiong quite a lot and was quite generous and generous. He did not care to obey Gao Jiong's orders and lowered his status to act with a junior like Pei Yuanqing.
"Haha... With Prince He personally taking action and General Zhengxi, Li Guo De's concubine is no problem!"
Gao Jiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, laughed loudly and praised loudly, but he gave He Ruobi very high praise and approval.
If Li Yuanba was still there, there would still be powerful generals in the Tang Dynasty who could rival He Ruobi and Pei Yuanqing. Looking at the Tang Dynasty now, who else could stop these two powerful generals?
The rest depends on the situation at the right time. If the gap between the two sides is not too great, they can be destroyed and the battle will be successful.
"Send the order to the whole army, mobilize the whole army quickly, and send troops to Hangu..."
…
Hangu Pass is named because it is in the valley, as deep and dangerous as a letter. It stretches from Xiaoshan in the east to Tongjin in the west, and is commonly known as Hangu Pass.
Looking at the world, Hangu Pass is now undoubtedly the first pass in the world. It is not only an important military place, but also the key point of cultural and economic exchanges between the hinterland of the Central Plains and the northwest region in ancient times.
Although Hangu Pass is very close to Dongdu, it has always been considered as the watershed between East and West Pass.
From the perspective of the world, Kansai is commonly known as Guan Nei, while Kanto is outside Guan Guan. The importance can be imagined.
At this time, the army gathered in Hangu Pass, with flags like a forest and cold light like stars.
The original 500,000 Tang troops, plus the follow-up support of 2 million troops, have already densely packed the pass (inside the pass). Following the arrival of Li Xiuning, the virtuous concubine of Li Guo, leading the 1.5 million women's army, the troops at Hangu Pass have become even denser.
The degree has reached an astonishing level.
With the support of the Tang State, Li Xiuning launched a full-scale military operation as soon as he arrived. Countless catapults, giant ballistae, rolling stones and huge trees, kerosene and iron pots, etc. were moved to the wall and densely distributed.
Within the pass, according to the architectural pattern, along the spider web-like streets and alleys, there are countless watchtowers, stone stacks, bunkers, fortresses, etc., which are densely packed. Almost no expense was spared to transform the pass into a pure military fortress.
Compared with the contempt of the Sui army, the helplessness of the Tang army, and the doubts of the people of the world, Li Xiuning did not underestimate or overestimate himself. He could only do his best to act calmly and deploy, but it exceeded the speculation of the people of the world and gradually gained
The recognition of Tang generals in Guan Nei.
From a gender perspective, women's thinking is indeed more cautious and steady than men's.
Under the leadership of Li Xiuning, Hangu Pass was transformed into an airtight and impregnable wall. The rest depends on the difference in military strength between the two sides. It is basically impossible to capture it through conspiracy and trickery!
"Inform the general, the Sui army is coming in the shape of a pin, with Zhenwu King He Ruobi on the left, Zhengxi General Yinyao Pei Yuanqing on the right, and Xuanxiang King Gaojuan in the middle. Our strongholds, cities, etc. cannot resist it. It will take about two and a half hours.
The vanguard army of the Great Sui Dynasty can reach Guanxia..."
When Li Xiuning calmly took charge of the defense inside the pass and applied what he knew to practice, a scout from the Tang Army came to report.
"It's a pity..." Li Xiuning and Liu Ye frowned.
Although with the personal intervention of King Li, Li Xiuning quickly gained the support and recognition of King Tang and the State of Tang, there was still not enough time!
Today, there are only 1.5 million of the Detachment of Women within the Pass. The defense within the Pass has only been completed when it reaches the facility. It is still far from what Li Xiuning expected!
"Call the entire army to prepare for war!"
At this point, Li Xiuning didn't feel regretful, resentful or unwilling. He quickly calmed down and gave the order, and personally rushed to the wall to sit down and preside over the situation.
When Li Xiuning arrived at the top of the wall, the Sui army was already densely packed outside the pass. They gathered at an extremely fast speed, formed their troops, and even some siege equipment began to be deployed.
The so-called enemy army arrived at Guanxia in two and a half hours. That was under normal circumstances. Under the personal command of Zhenwu King He Ruobi, the Sui army arrived in more than an hour. It is estimated that Pei Yuanqing would have sped up much faster along the way.
It's not that the Tang army's intelligence was wrong, but that it underestimated Zhenwu King He Ruobi and Silver Demon Pei Yuanqing!
"Empress! Considering the situation in the pass, there are no strong generals or elites arriving at the enemy's army. Do you want to ask for help from my king?"
Looking at the Sui army outside the city, King Zhenwu of the Nine Heavenly Kings standing at the forefront, and his once powerful Jingwu armored guards, Wu Meng hesitated to ask for instructions.
Don't even think about asking for help from the Tang State.
One is that it is too late, and the other is that the Tang State really does not have it. Unless the Imperial Guards or the Black Armor Elite Cavalry are mobilized, this is beyond the agreement between the two countries. However, the other Tang State checkpoints also need strong generals and elites to guard them.
"No need! My king has done enough, this is the battle of Sui and Tang Dynasties!"
Li Xiuning shook his head and objected without hesitation. He would not wait until now to ask for help.
After a pause, he looked at Guan Wai with bright eyes and full of fighting spirit and said: "War belongs to the army! As long as we are not in chaos, everything will not be a problem!"
After finishing his words, he thought for a while and then ordered to Wu Meng: "General Mengying and Xinwuwei can just sit back and watch. There is no need to take action, and it will avoid criticism from the world and affect the agreement between the two countries!"
"yes!"
Wu Meng was startled, and solemnly replied, it was nothing more than Li Xiuning's last words.
The agreement between the two countries is not very reliable. The gains and losses outside the agreement are more important than the gains and losses under the agreement.
If Tang Guo had an excuse because of her and Xinwuwei's interference, then Wu Meng would be damned!
Although based on Wu Meng’s understanding of the young master Wu Xin, Wu Xin probably did not pay too much attention to the agreement between the two countries and had too many external purposes, but she could not destroy the content of the agreement!
"Dong, dong, dong..."
Without waiting for Li Xiuning and the Tang generals in Guan Nei to think too much, the Sui army that had just arrived had not even set up its formation, but the war drums were already beating... (To be continued.)
