Comprehensive martial arts: Summon Li Chungang and ask Wu Zetian for advice

Chapter 256
After a long time, Li Shimin gradually cooled down from his anger and regained his composure.

He was condescending, his eyes were solemn, and his furrowed brows had a cold air, like a sharp blade passing through all the civil and military officials present, and he said in a low tone: "The Ming Dynasty is only as strong as the Immortal Realm. It is the Tang Dynasty that takes the initiative to attack us." wishful thinking."

What he said was not only for the ministers, but also for himself.

"What do the spies lurking in the Ming Dynasty say? How many days will it take for the Ming Dynasty army to arrive?" He waved his sleeves angrily, turned around indifferently, and asked sternly.By this time, he had calmed down and knew that his thunderous anger was of no use.

The Tang Dynasty has not yet reached the point where it is completely defeated and exhausted.

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has just gathered a million troops, and it will take half a month to reach our border with the Tang Dynasty."

At this time, Changsun Wuji took a step forward and spoke tremblingly.

"Half moon!"

Hearing this time, Li Shimin couldn't help clenching his fists, and his eyes were filled with anger.

This means that there is only one month left for Datang.

However, this amount of time is enough for the Tang Dynasty and all the countries in the world.

Thinking of this, his dim pupils glowed again, and he ordered: "We can't wait any longer. Order Li Jing to lead his army back to the source immediately, and also request reinforcements from Sui, Qin, and Han!"

Faced with such a situation, this is the only way to alleviate the crisis of the Tang Dynasty.

A few days later, at the border of Datang.

Under the deep night, there is silence.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the cold wind is howling.

An ancient city wall stands in a wilderness. The vicissitudes of stone are inlaid on the city wall. The traces of time are carved into it, revealing the history and heavy years of the city.

Looking from a distance, the city was silent, with only a few sparks shining from time to time to prevent the city from being completely submerged in the night.

Since this place is located in a border city between the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, there are basically not many residents.

More people came and went from caravans to rest in the city, but since the Ming Dynasty announced its attack on the Tang Dynasty.

Very few caravans pass by here, and even if they do, they will never stop here.

Therefore, the only people living in the city now are the [-] garrison stationed in the city.

Datang barracks.

All the people sat together around the bonfire, and the swaying firelight reflected their ever-changing expressions. Everyone's expression looked particularly solemn.

In such a tense atmosphere, someone suddenly asked: "Hey, do you think this war will start?"

His eyes were fixed on the bonfire in front of him, expecting someone to give a clear answer.

The companion next to him immediately answered and joked: "Bullshit, that's for sure. Why are you afraid?"

"Don't worry, according to the intelligence, the Ming army is coming in force, and it will take more than half a month to reach the border." Another one said steadily.

It's just that although his words were calm, they made everyone's expressions more solemn. Everyone knew that this meant that a difficult war was coming.

"Hey, this is one of the few happy days we have!"

"No, I still want to go home to see my wife and children!" a soldier agreed.A bitter smile appeared on their faces.

They chatted without a word, and their faces became gloomy whenever the war was mentioned.

Although they have experienced hundreds of battles and have been stationed on the border for decades, it stands to reason that they are already used to dying in battle and being separated from each other.

But it is precisely because of this that they can feel the difficulty of peace more and cherish this peaceful day even more.

Yet at this moment.

In the dark night, suddenly a burst of fire shot into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying and ferocious bloody gun light, carried by the sharp wind, mercilessly bombarded the door that had been destroyed countless times into powder.

The bloody gun light was so dazzling in the dark night, so eye-catching, it was frightening.

Only a faint gray shadow flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and in an instant, a sad and tragic wail echoed in their ears.Even the fledgling recruits understood at this moment that this was a sneak attack by the enemy.

"Enemy attack!!!"

"Enemy attack!!!"

"Enemy attack!!!"

In the silent night, bursts of blood-curdling roars suddenly sounded.

However, the roar was soon drowned out by the deafening shouts of killing coming from a distance.

Boom boom boom! ! !
In the distant dark night sky, an invincible army suddenly appeared without warning.

Under the shock of thousands of galloping horses, the earth trembled violently, and the sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky like thunder, echoing across the boundless heaven and earth.

At this moment, these soldiers were still enjoying the last moment of peace before the war, but they did not expect this sudden attack.

They climbed up the tower in a panic, but only saw the densely packed cavalry on the horizon in the distance.

As for the solid city wall that they relied on most for defense, a gap had already been blown open.

That army was like an unstoppable torrent of steel, quickly pouring into the city, as if it were in a deserted land.

Soon after, the dazzling fire gradually extinguished, and the mournful wailing gradually stopped.

Because the flag that had stood on this land for decades had been replaced by the flag of the Ming Dynasty.

This ancient city finally welcomed its new owner.

This group of people is the [-] advance army led by Chen Zhibao.

Everyone thought that Ming's army had just set off and that the war was still half a month away.

Little did they know that half a month later, his Ming army had already arrived at the city and marched straight towards Huanglong.

"This battle was fought well. Send the order and immediately plunder the food in the city, leaving them only three days of food."

At this time, Chen Zhibao was unfolding the map of the Tang Dynasty, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"Yes, general. Why don't we kill all these people?" the deputy general asked with some confusion.

"Kill the surrendered soldiers? No need!"

Chen Zhibao shook his head when he heard this and said calmly: "This group of people were just caught off guard by us and had no time to fight back. Even if it was a late night attack, we still lost a lot of people. Do we really think they are just a bunch of losers?"

"What's more, we have to catch them by surprise and leave these people alone so that the Tang Dynasty won't notice anything strange."

"Yes, I will, I will finally understand."

After Chen Zhibao said this, General Namo also looked like he suddenly understood, and then continued: "In addition, God Marquis Tietan has been ordered by His Majesty to lead a small amount of food and grass to meet us first."

"Ok!"

Chen Zhibao nodded, circled a city on the map, then looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting dark now, and there's still some time before dawn."

"There is a city very close to us ahead, leaving a small group of people to guard the surrendering troops. The rest will follow me and set off immediately to occupy this city before dawn."

Since it was a blitzkrieg, it was necessary to strike quickly and capture as many cities as possible before the Tang Dynasty could react, so as to open up an unobstructed road for the army.

Everything is possible, no matter how hard you block the information, it will be leaked sooner or later.

So now they are racing against time again.

"Yes, General!"

When the deputy general heard this, he cupped his hands and immediately retreated to reorganize his troops.

In this way, Chen Zhibao and others did not stay in this city for long before they hurried to the next city.
