Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 147

There are not many examples of infantry defeating cavalry in history, so Li Shimin agrees with Li Fu's words.

If you want to defeat the cavalry, you must first find a way to restrain the cavalry, but judging from the current situation, there are actually not many methods that Datang can use.

The Hu people have a natural horse farm, the most important thing is their soldiers, who have lived on horseback since they were young, and they are natural cavalry, so the Hu people's cavalry has always been very powerful.

If the Central Plains dynasty wanted to suppress the Hu people, they could only rely on the cultivation of powerful cavalry, so that they could suppress the Hu people's cavalry with the tip of the needle. Huo Qubing in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is the best example.

But Li Shimin heard Li Fu's meaning, it seemed that as long as he made the Modao, he could use the infantry to fight against the barbarians' cavalry and win easily.

This made Li Shimin feel a little unbelievable. Is the Mo Dao Li Fu said really that powerful?

[The Mo Dao is a good thing, it is powerful, and the enemy is frightened when the blade hits, it can be called the nemesis of the cavalry. 】

[It is said that a person who is good at using the Mo knife can cut a man and a horse in half with one knife, which is absolutely shocking. 】

[Li Siye in the middle and late Tang Dynasty seems to be one of the few famous Mo Dao generals. In his hands, the power of Mo Dao has been brought to the extreme. ! 】

Cavalry nemesis?With such a title, Li Shimin's eyes lit up and his heart surged.

Goguryeo is also known for its cavalry. The horse farms in the Liaodong area produced mighty and tall horses. Therefore, Goguryeo's cavalry suffered a great loss for the Sui army, and tens of thousands of people were lost there.

Li Shimin had fought against the Hu people outside the Great Wall, and he knew the way of it very well. He also understood that although there were already large cavalry in the left and right military guards, compared with the Hu people's cavalry, there was still a considerable gap.

Moreover, once this gap appears on the decisive battlefield, it will be infinitely magnified, and it will cause irreversible consequences at that time, which is definitely not what Li Shimin wants to see.

As for Li Jing and Li Ji's defeat of the Tubo army this time, but Li Shimin saw the battle process, he did not fight the enemy head-on, but actually faced Goguryeo and fought in other countries, the Tang army actually had little chance of winning.

Even if it is a famous general, if he wins in the end, he will have to pay a huge price, which Li Shimin doesn't want to see.

[If I remember correctly, the most famous battle of the Tang Modao Battalion was the confrontation with the Anshi rebels. 】

【At that time, the Anshi rebel army took the lead in launching a violent attack with their excellent cavalry. The Tang army was defeated first, and the pace of defeat was unstoppable. However, Li Siye stood up at this time. 】

[He took his [-] Mo Daomen from the Chang'an Army, and started the most famous encounter in Datang against the enemy with Mo Dao in hand. 】

[According to the subordinates of the Tang army at that time, without the support of cavalry and crossbowmen, Li Siye went into battle shirtless and led [-] Modao troops, colliding violently with the Anshi rebels. 】

[The cavalry was suppressed by the Modao team, and the cavalry encountered by the Modao team were chopped into scum, and then the Tang army regrouped and launched a counterattack, and finally beheaded [-] people, turning against the wind! 】

[It is precisely because of Li Siye's Modao team that this almost lost battle was turned around, and finally Chang'an was regained. The coordination formation diagram between the Tang Dynasty Modao team and various arms...]

Li Shimin was taken aback. From Li Fu's inner voice, he probably understood that his descendants seemed to have lost Chang'an, which made him very speechless.

How come one or two of my descendants are trash, Chang'an was breached at every turn. The previous one was Tubo, but now they have become rebels. If one time is not enough, they will come again. I feel ashamed to say it out.

But soon Li Shimin was distracted by the formation diagram of the Modao team in Li Fu's mind.

With just one glance, Li Shimin could see the mystery of this formation diagram. It only needs more than [-] people, but it can advance and attack, retreat and defend. It is definitely the best weapon to defend against the enemy on the battlefield.

At this time, Li Fu had already outlined the shape and craftsmanship of Mo Dao in his mind.

[Because of the great lethality of the Mo Dao, in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the Mo Dao was an independent arm of the Tang Army. 】

[According to historical records, the Mo Dao is seven feet long. According to the current measurement unit, it should be about two meters long, and the blade alone is more than one meter long, and it weighs more than forty catties! 】

[It takes a lot of effort to wield a heavy weapon like the Modao, let alone go into battle and kill the enemy. 】

[Therefore, in the Tang army, the most basic requirement for being selected as a sergeant of the Modao team is to have superior arm strength, and to be able to continuously swing the Modao and perform various actions. 】

[The soldiers of the Mo Dao team have to go through long-term training before they can go to the battlefield, and as long as they go to the battlefield, they will see blood when they swing their knives. 】

[Because the power of Mo Dao is too great, Datang strictly stipulates that Mo Dao is forbidden to be used as a funeral object, Mo Dao craft drawing...]

At this time, Li Shimin's mind appeared a complete Modao craft drawing, which made Li Shimin fascinated by it.

But at this time, Li Shimin suddenly heard Li Fu's belated answer, "Father, my son thinks that the attack on Goguryeo should be done cautiously, and only by doing it slowly can we complete our achievements in one battle!"

Li Shimin scoffed directly. This kind of answer is really too Li Fuhua. He obviously has a super perfect plan, but he just doesn't tell the truth, as if it would be a serious crime if he said it.

Li Shimin didn't bother to argue with Li Fu, anyway, he already had the craft map of Mo Dao and the battle formation map of Mo Dao.

So Li Shimin didn't bother to talk to Li Fu, and he planned to directly order the craftsman who built the prison in the palace to make the Modao.

As long as the Modao is forged and a Modao team equipped with Modao is built, the destruction of Goguryeo will be just around the corner!
At this moment, Li Shimin was more ambitious than ever before, he stood up straight, smiled at Li Fu, then turned and left.

"He huh me? What do you mean?" Li Fu was a little startled, and the more he looked at Li Shimin, the more confused he became.

But as long as Li Shimin leaves the East Palace, he doesn't care what he thinks, as long as he doesn't trouble himself anyway.

So Li Fu didn't even have a symbolic way to persuade him to stay, but just sent Li Shimin away as a matter of routine.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, and the Crown Prince!" When Li Shimin arrived at the front yard of the East Palace, he happened to meet Xue Rengui who came to meet Li Fu with Cao Shaoqin. Xue Rengui hurriedly saluted Li Shimin when he saw him.

"Humph!" Li Shimin snorted coldly, and walked straight out. Now that he was angry when he saw Xue Rengui, he naturally didn't bother to talk to him.

Although Li Fu was curious about Li Shimin's unexpected behavior, he still didn't care about it. He watched Li Shimin's car drive away, and turned around to wave to Xue Rengui.
