Datang: Get a god-level selection system at the beginning

The battle lasted less than an hour and ended, and the Tang army won a complete victory.

In fact, it only took three sticks of incense to defeat the Youzhou army, but it took a lot of effort to chase down those defeated soldiers.

When the statistics of the battle results came up, Li Wenbin smiled slightly: Four thousand soldiers were killed, and more than two thousand prisoners were taken. Originally, no prisoners were kept, but seeing that the auxiliary soldiers were almost all forced laborers, Li Wenbin finally softened his heart.

As for Qi Wei, he really couldn't fight together, so he had no choice but to use a shovel because he was trampled into meat by the horse's hoof.

As for the losses of our own side - zero people were killed in battle, and three people were slightly injured.

The minor injury was caused by accidentally falling off the horse and spraining his ankle.

Three hundred against eight thousand, zero casualties, this is simply a miracle, Xi Junmai blushed with excitement, and his hands holding the battle report were trembling.

"Big worm, look at your promise."

Seeing his appearance, Li Wenbin couldn't help laughing and said, "Using such an invincible iron cavalry to deal with such a weak opponent, I'm surprised that there are not zero casualties."

The war horses are exotic war horses that have been improved with potions, and the armor is also heavier and thicker. Even the weapons are high-quality goods made with the latest steelmaking methods. If you can't win this way, then Li Wenbin might as well just wipe his neck.

"Chairman, why haven't I heard of such an invincible lion before?"

Xi Junmai suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Hey, there is no way to do this. The emergence of new things always needs to go through a process of cognition."

It turned out that Li Wenbin lent the first five hundred strong cavalry to Li Jing for use. He felt that if he used it properly, it would not be impossible to wipe out Jieli Khan's army.

But in the end, when he learned of the results of the battle, he was surprised to find that this was not the case.

At first Li Wenbin thought that strong cavalry was not as useful as he imagined, but when he knew the details of the battlefield, he realized that he was wrong.

Li Jing did not use the five hundred strong cavalry as a sharp knife, but arranged them at the rear as a reserve team.

But in this way, the strong cavalry battalion's expertise in charging and breaking through the formation was not brought into play. Instead, they chased and defeated the soldiers all over the mountains and plains, so that they didn't get much results at all.

So at the beginning of Li Shimin's personal conquest this time, Li Wenbin waited until he got another thousand strong cavalry before sending [-] cavalry north to support.

Li Shimin and Li Jing may not realize how much the emergence of strong cavalry will change the cavalry-based war, and they may continue to use it as the Imperial Forest Army, but Li Wenbin knows the truth of using good steel on the blade.

For the strong cavalry, they should be sent as forwards, using unparalleled impact to attack the enemy cavalry formation. As for the ordinary cavalry, they just need to follow the strong cavalry and continue to expand the tearing wounds.

"Urgent six hundred miles, send the good news back to Chang'an."

The marching secretary wrote the battle report and handed it over to the courier—they sent it back to Chang'an together with some loot, so that the ministers in the court would not question it.

After winning the first battle, Li Wenbin's confidence in Qiangqi became extremely abundant.

On March [-]th, captured Dingzhou County, Dingzhou County, and cut [-] troops;

March [-], lower Yongle County;
On March [-]th, they went down to Yi County, the prefecture of Yizhou, and went straight to the prefecture of Youzhou, which was Li Ai's headquarters, and went to Jicheng.

……

Jicheng, the former governor of Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang, has already panicked.

He used all the soldiers and horses he could gather to resist Li Wenbin's strong cavalry, but no matter what he did, he only got one after another defeat report.

After only ten days, Tang Junbing pointed directly at Jicheng, how could he not panic?
"Where is the deputy marshal, invite him to see Gu."

After a while, Wang Junkuo, who was appointed by Li Ai as the deputy marshal of the world's rebel army, came over: "Marshal calls the last general, what orders do you have?"

"Wang Junkuo, when you persuaded Gu to rebel, what did you say that Li Shimin had already betrayed his relatives? As long as Gu ascended the throne and raised the banner of righteousness, the world would surely respond, and it would be easy to win rebellion."

"But now, this army of soldiers who don't know where it came from is almost approaching the city of Jicheng. What else do you have to say?"

Wang Junkuo joined the Wagang Army in his early years. After he was attached to the Tang Dynasty, he was awarded the title of General of Shangzhu Kingdom and Youwuwei, and became the Duke of Peng Guo.

Although this Wang Junkuo can be called a fierce general, his best thing is not his martial arts, but his teamwork skills.

Wang Junkuo persuaded Li Ai to rebel under the banner of rebellion, naturally not for the sake of this cowardly King of Lujiang, but with speculative plans.

If Li Ai can really succeed in rebelling against the rebellion, that would be good, and he can also take advantage of the trend to become a minister of the dragon; if the rebel army is wiped out by the imperial army, then Wang Junkuo is going to kill Li Ai first, and become a counter-insurgency hero who bears the burden of humiliation.

No matter how he does it, he won't lose money.

It's just that Li Wenbin's sudden appearance disrupted Wang Junkuo's plan. Before he was ready, the imperial army had already approached the city. If he wanted to surrender now, even if he offered Li Ai's head, the weight of the vote would be too light .

At this time, Wang Junkuo heard Li Ai's question, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: Why don't I play a show with him when the Tang army arrives, secretly tell my thoughts, and then cooperate internally and externally to hand over this city of Jicheng to the imperial court? hand.

In this way, even if he was not the first to suppress the rebellion this time, he would not be able to escape that time.

After making up his mind, Wang Junkuo said: "Marshal, please be safe and don't be impatient. The last general will see that the Naping rebels are just at the end of their strength, and there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Oh? How do you see it?"

"Marshal, the Naping rebel army came all the way from Chang'an. They fought endlessly along the way, hardly stopped for repairs, and had no logistical supplies. They must be exhausted and on the verge of collapse."

"It is very likely that what supports them now is the courage brought by the promise of the commanding general, otherwise they would have collapsed on their own."

"There is a saying in the art of war, one big effort, then it will decline, and then it will be exhausted. Now, it is time for them to run out of water."

"Marshal, why don't you gather all the soldiers and horses in Jicheng, wait for the counter-rebel army to arrive, then at the end of the day, the general will lead the army to wipe out all the enemy troops under the city."

"What does the marshal think?"

This Wang Junkuo's idea is good. Gathering all the soldiers and horses will save trouble when the time comes, so as to avoid chasing the remnants of the army everywhere, which can be regarded as very responsible.

Li Ai heard this, applauded repeatedly, and handed over all the military affairs to Wang Junkuo - he didn't have any ideas at first, otherwise he wouldn't be fooled into rebellion by Wang Junkuo with a few words.
