Chapter 1708: Three Three Disciplines and Eight Bans
Although Chencang County has been much taller and thicker in recent years, and there are even 20,000 troops stationed in the city, it is far inferior to such powerful passes as Heifeng Pass and Tongguan. Therefore, Xu Shiji led his men to attack for three days, and Chencang County was on the verge of collapse.
, is about to be breached.
As a last resort, Li Shimin had no choice but to change his original strategy of only defending the city and not leaving the city for a field battle, and sent Duke Bao and Right Guard General Duan Zhixuan with 60,000 troops to rush to rescue Chencang County.
In the third year of Tianxiang, on September 26, in a small plain ten miles northeast of Chencang County, Duan Zhixuan led the Tang Dynasty with 60,000 elite soldiers and Xu Shiji led 40,000 elite soldiers in a field battle.
As soon as the fierce battle began, Duan Zhixuan, who was expected to be at least undefeated, was shocked and felt a chill in his heart.
Of course Duan Zhixuan knew that with equal strength, their Tang army was no match for Da'an, so he brought 60,000 troops, thinking that they now also had grenades, explosive packs and other gunpowder weapons, but he didn't think he was capable of commanding troops to fight.
I can't lose to anyone, so I thought that even if I couldn't beat Xu Shiji, I should be evenly matched, and I wouldn't lose for a while.
Unexpectedly, the battle situation was very different from what he expected.
The Tang Army relied on its strength to have 20,000 more troops, and its weapons and equipment were not much worse than those of the Wagang Army. The two sides had an uneventful fight at first, but when both hands used trebuchets at the same time, the gunpowder packets were all on the battlefield.
When grenades are used extensively, the difference between the hands is reflected.
This gap is partly due to the fact that Xu Shiji was second only to Li Jing in history in terms of commanding troops to fight. Although Duan Zhixuan was also a talented general, he was still inferior to Xu Shiji.
In addition, in the six or seven years since Xu Shiji surrendered to King Junlin, he has studied hard and read the Da'an General's Tactics and Strategy Textbook written by Nie Xiaoyu himself, integrating it with his rich combat experience in the past, and gained a lot.
Secondly, the grassroots generals of Da'an State are generally much more skilled and experienced in commanding and using gunpowder weapons than the generals of Tang State. It is important to know that the timing, direction and distance of firing and throwing gunpowder weapons are different, which will lead to killing and casualty.
The area and killing effect are obviously different. Da'an already has an extremely mature learning and training system for these aspects, and its soldiers have richer experience.
The last factor is the advantage of Da'anguo's military system and mechanism. The strict system creates strict discipline. Every soldier will not affect the battle formation and continue to kill the enemy because of the death or injury of his comrades next to him. There will be no order without orders.
Not the slightest step back.
But the army of Tang State is different. Puppet No. 1 only allowed Tang State to catch up with Da'an State's army in terms of weapons and equipment, but it was still far behind in the road of professionalization of the army.
The combined effect of the gaps in these three aspects resulted in Tang's casualties being much greater than those of the Wagang Army from the very beginning. When the number of Tang's casualties reached nearly 20,000, the ratio of the forces of the two sides continued to shrink, and the Tang army's morale
Gradually it faltered, its morale continued to be hit, and eventually it gradually became defeated.
In the end, the war lasted for most of a day, and the Tang army was defeated. Duan Zhixuan was so shocked that he left behind 5,000 troops and nearly 20,000 corpses, and retreated to Xianyang to shrink his troops.

Tongguan City is different from Heifengguan City to the west. It has a history of thousands of years. However, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, Tongguan City has not been a border gate. Therefore, for a long time, Tongguan City has not been a military city, but a formidable city.
It is bigger than the county town or even the state town.
city.
In fact, during the Sui Dynasty, Tongguan City was originally the county seat of Tongguan County.
Therefore, in addition to the 100,000 troops stationed in Tongguan City, there are nearly 200,000 people living in it.
Before the army of Da'an State arrived outside Tongguan City, some dignitaries and wealthy businessmen went to the hinterland of Guanzhong early and even moved to Chang'an City, but the vast majority of the people were still in Tongguan City.
It's not that they don't want to leave, or they are willing to stay and defend Tongguan City with the army, but because their home is in Tongguan City, and their property, real estate, shops and other things they use to make a living are all in Tongguan City. It doesn't mean they can leave just by leaving.
.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Wang Junlin's army has strict discipline and never actively harasses the people, never robs people of their money or property, and never insults women.
Even when the army of Da'an was founded, Wang Junlin personally participated in it. In addition to the disciplinary regulations, he also introduced the "three major disciplines and eight strict prohibitions" during the war. Moreover, under the deliberate publicity of the Security Bureau, this catchy phrase
The "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Strict Prohibitions" had already spread throughout the Tang Dynasty and were even known to the common people.
And this incident itself was also a very important step in Da'an's plan for the Tang Dynasty's struggle in the ideological field.
Because this incident directly separated the people of Tang State from the army of Tang State, so that the army of Da'an State was no longer an invader in the eyes of the people of Tang State, and would not have a mentality of hatred and resistance, let alone the Tang State's people.
A war as vast as the ocean.
Li Shimin was a genius. Although he vaguely realized the importance of struggle in the ideological field, because he was born in a noble family and was limited by the ideas of the times, he had not realized that the power of the masses was actually greater and more solid than the power of the army.
.
If Li Shimin could incite the Tang people and fight against Anguo, to be honest, no matter how powerful the Da'an army is, it would be more than ten times more difficult to capture Tang than it is now.

Tongguan City, the Chunnu House in Baiyi Lane is the largest brothel in Tongguan City. It is said that it has the background of a general in Tongguan City, so it was not affected by the Tang Army's early operation to clean up Da'an Guo spies in the city.
However, few people know that Chunnu Tower is a stronghold of the Divorce Division of the Security Mansion.
Since the sects of the Immortal Yin Sect joined Wang Junlin back then, Wang Junlin has given them important responsibilities in their respective areas of expertise and played a considerable role.
But now it seems that the meritorious services performed by each sect vary from big to small, and the titles of the people from the sects of Xianyin Sect also range from high to low, and some even have not received the title.
In everything, we are afraid of comparing ourselves with each other, and comparisons often have their own circles.
Although the various sects of the Immortal Yin Sect already have their own duties, due to their special nature, they are actually a circle, and they usually have more secret contacts.
During the first National Day ceremony of the founding of Da'an, Tian Changshui, the grandson of Tian Xiangzi, the leader of Zhongmo Clan, served as the director of the Weapons and Equipment Department of the Gewu Academy. He led his scientific research team to invent and create many advanced weapons and equipment over the years.
The combat effectiveness of the troops was greatly improved, and he was directly awarded the title of county magistrate.
This is the first of the younger generation of the Xianyin Sect to obtain a title, and also the first of the younger generation to obtain a high title of county magistrate or above.
This made the younger generation from the various sects of the Immortal Yin Sect extremely jealous, so half a year ago the son of Lao Lai, the owner of the Yaowang Valley, and Mu Pippi, the deputy director of the Medicine and Equipment Department of the Ping An Mansion, took risks and went to Gao
Gouli, sneaked into Pyongyang City and made great achievements.
Now there is news that at the next National Day ceremony, Mu Pippi will be indispensable for the position of county boss, and he will be promoted.
This suddenly made other second- and third-generation young people from the Immortal Yin Sect even more jealous, such as Yue Xian'er, the daughter of Yue Hu, the leader of the Tianmei Sect.
After the Tianmei Sect surrendered to Wang Junlin, the sect leader Yuehu originally wanted to take advantage of them and take the harem route. Although Yuehu was over half a hundred years old, she was very good at keeping her appearance. She looked like she was in her twenties and was beautiful.
Extremely gorgeous.
However, after he discovered that Wang Junlin had no wrong thoughts about him, he carefully selected a group of beautiful girls who had been trained and were good at arousing men's hearts and sent them to Wang Junlin with a very low profile.
, saying that these people work as maids for Wang Junlin.
As a result, after Wang Junlin felt the powerful temptation of these beautiful girls, he gave an order and directly made the Tianmei Sect become the alienation department of the Military Intelligence Bureau at that time.
Later, after the founding of the country, he became the director of the Liaison Department of the Ping An Mansion. Yue Hu, the leader of the Tianmei Sect, was the envoy of the Liaison Department.
In recent years, under the leadership of Yuehu, the Tianmei Sect sisters have gathered a lot of information. When they attacked Hedong, Liangguo, Sichuan, Huainan, Huaibei and other places, many cities surrendered directly, and they also contributed to the alienation of Miss Si.
.
Therefore, now Yuehu, the commander, also has the title of earl.
However, Yue Xian'er, Yue Fox's daughter, does not have any title.
It would be fine if there were not two living examples of Tian Changshui and Mu Pippi. Now that these two guys of the same generation already have or are about to have a title, and the title is not low, Yue Xian'er is greedy.
What's more, she has a bet with Namu Pippi.
Therefore, she followed Mu Pippi's example and sneaked into Tongguan City half a year ago in order to cause trouble.
To this end, Yuehu mobilized a large number of manpower from the Alien Division, used all the secret agents in Tongguan City, and even asked Shen Guoer for instructions, and mobilized a large number of experts from other divisions to cooperate.
After three or four months of hard work, Yue Xianer's plan finally made considerable progress.
Three months ago, by chance, Yue Xian'er met Li Wenbin, the youngest son of Tongguan City guard Li Xiaogong, in a temple in Tongguan City.
Yue Xian'er has already obtained the true inheritance of Yue Hu, and has already mastered the magic of heaven. With the cooperation of a large number of extras, careful planning by the think tank of the Security Bureau, and the director Yue Hu, an old fox, it is easy for Li.
Bin fell in love with Yue Xianer at first sight.
Of course, in order to prevent Li Wenbin from suspecting, especially Li Xiaogong, Yue Xianer scolded Li Wenbin away when he came forward to tease her.
But during this scolding process, Yue Xian'er's posture was so charming, and the voice even made Li Wenbin feel ecstasy in his ears.
Li Wenbin suffered from unrequited love from then on. When this unrequited love fermented to a certain extent, Li Wenbin met Yue Xianer again by coincidence. In fact, they spent a lot of time in contact with each other during this meeting.
It adds up to less than a quarter of an hour.
However, under the full operation of Yue Xian'er's magic, Li Wenbin's pain of lovesickness changed qualitatively, and the final result was that he would not marry anyone other than Yue Xian'er.
ps: I'm so confused, the name Li Wenbin is actually a forbidden word, which prevents the content from being uploaded. I'm so crazy that I was forced to add a dot to the name.
