Datang: Abducting the eldest princess at the beginning

Chapter 78 78. Murong Zun’s last recruitment, Jiang Chen’s body armor is released!
  In the last battle of the Wei River, the Turks dispatched an army of 200,000, but they only had 20,000.

The only difference is that he still has the natural moat of Weishui River and the three thousand elite Xuanjia Army under his command.

But at present, although Jiang Chen's 20,000 soldiers are better equipped than the Xuanjia Army, it is only a county town after all, and the city's defense facilities are definitely not as good as his.

What's more important is that they don't have natural dangers like the Weishui River, and there is a flat plain outside the city.

In such terrain, the opponent undoubtedly has the absolute upper hand.

He glanced at Jiang Chen, only to see that Jiang Chen still looked as if he was overwhelmed by Mount Tai, "What a young man who is not afraid of danger!"

Thinking of this, Li Shimin secretly admired in his heart.

He knew very well that Jiang Chen was the one who was under the greatest pressure.

But for the sake of morale, he couldn't show any signs of panic.

Panic, nervousness, all emotions must be hidden.

He has to pretend to be confident! Only in this way can the morale of the soldiers be stabilized.

However, all this is Li Shimin's illusion.

Flustered?

Jiang Chen didn't panic at all!
  "According to the calculations of our remote weapons observer, their position should be... wait a minute!"

Jiang Chen interrupted his report, with a confident smile on his face: "Let me do the math."

As he said this, Jiang Chen imitated the old-fashioned way and started counting with his fingers.

"Their forward should be one thousand eight hundred steps away from the city wall."

When the soldier heard this, he was suddenly startled and said, "Sir, are you too amazing?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin and Li Lizhi, father and daughter, including Leng Yue, were all stunned.

This boy, at such a young age, is actually more powerful than that old Taoist priest Li Ji!

Even Li Ji couldn't figure out the enemy's position just by looking at the battlefield!

Wu Yong and others were secretly amused when they saw the surprised expressions on Li Shimin and others' faces, but they were actually frightened.

Later, everyone realized that all this was actually because of their adults' good intentions.

At that time, like Lao Li, they didn't know much about Jiang Chen.

They all had a skeptical attitude towards the unbelievable orders put forward by Jiang Chen.

But Jiang Chen always predicted everything as if it were a god, making everyone believe him immediately.

In fact!
  Jiang Chen just got to know the other party's character and knew himself and the enemy. These three years of fighting were not in vain.

Previously, there were only three powerful crossbows that could produce a certain degree of lethality in long-range attacks at such a distance.

The effective attack range of these three powerful crossbows is a thousand steps!

In the Tang Dynasty, one step was not a huge force to take one step, but a special military distance unit, about one and a half meters.

This also means that the maximum attack distance of the three crossbow arrows is almost 1,500 meters.

It is installed on the city wall and everyone can see it.

Therefore, the enemy's army will never cross this range.

In addition, Murong Zun was tortured quite miserably three times.

Even though he was still outside the attack range, he was tricked.

Therefore, according to Jiang Chen's understanding of him, he will retreat further by about 500 meters, which is about 300 steps.

After all, it is impossible for an army of 200,000 to attack at the same time.

If everyone swarms in, there will be more chances of their own people being trampled to death.

Therefore, when attacking a city, the army usually advances in formation.

This also requires space, so they also have to take another five hundred steps back.

Isn’t this joint work one thousand eight hundred steps?
  "How did you know?" Li Shimin asked. Jiang Chen tapped the center of his eyebrows with his hand, looking enigmatic: "Haha, I have practiced Taoism since I was a child and opened a heavenly eye. Do you believe it?"

Li Shimin frowned, he couldn't be fooled.

At this time, he remembered that his counselor Li Ji also used some unpredictable methods, and then came to a conclusion, but he pretended to be mysterious.

In other words, let the soldiers worship him and believe in him!

Jiang Chen must be the same.

High, really high!
  Li Shimin smiled slightly and nodded. "I believe."

At this moment, the soldier responsible for placing the sign placed a small Hu soldier pottery figurine holding a machete on the sand table.

At the same time, hang a small flag with the words 1800 steps next to it.

At this moment, everyone with some brains had the feeling of being on the scene. Jiang Chen glanced at the messenger and said in a deep voice: "Continue to explore!"

"Follow your orders!
  As soon as the soldier left, Jiang Chen said to Wu Yong: "Consultant Wu, I told you last night that we all need to learn the tactics of the Battle of the Weishui River and the Weishui River Alliance."

"Is the matter done?"

Wu Yongxing cupped his hands and said, "Everything is ready!"

Li Shimin was naturally very happy when he heard that Jiang Chen wanted to learn from him.

As for what kind of alliance or what kind of shame, it doesn't matter anymore.

After the quarrel this morning, he had already looked away.

The criticisms from outsiders are nothing to him now.

Today, he is Li Zitian, an experienced veteran who temporarily serves as the chief of staff of the Ezhou Army.

Li Shimin suddenly became serious and straightened his back immediately.

However, when Li Lizhi and Leng Yue saw him bowing his hands to Jiang Chen, they were completely stunned.

Both of them understood that this was Li Shimin completely entering the role!
  It seems like everything has gone back to seven years ago!
  In other words, this is a feeling of rejuvenation and rebirth!
  Only a bastard like Governor Jiang could make his father forget his identity as emperor!

"Lord Jiang, the emperor did this just to show off to Jie Li."

"Could it be that Murong Zun would ask to see you?..."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, and a glint flashed in his eyes: "As far as I know, in his heart, I still have some value."

"He will send someone to recruit me again."

"In the final analysis, even he understands that attacking the city is the bottom priority and attacking the heart is the top priority."

"At the same time, that messenger is also his spy. He wants to find out my details."

At this moment, the messenger came in.

A messenger raised his hand and said: "Report!"

"There is news from the sentry post that the Tuyuhun envoy sent by Murong Zun came to the outside of the city with a double-knot token in hand, asking to see the Lord!"

When Li Shimin heard the news, he suddenly realized.

This guy is really prescient.

It's really what you say.

At the same time, he also realized that Murong Zun was not a fool and had a very vicious vision.

If he were the commander-in-chief of the enemy, he would definitely try to win over Jiang Chen.

It’s worth a try to win without fighting and gain a lot of talent!
  "grown ups!"

"Armor, your armor is ready!"

As soon as the messenger finished reporting the situation, the craftsman on the back rushed in with armor in hand.

For a moment, everyone looked sideways!
