Great Tang Southern Emperor

"What the military adviser said makes sense, let's start dividing up our troops now," Bafarvalman nodded in agreement.

No matter how hard Li Zhen was thinking, he would never have imagined that the main purpose of Baffavarman's mixing of 40 troops was not at all to be mysterious. There are also a thousand) in Chenla itself.

The 40 army, mixed with recruits and veterans, looks terrifying, but in fact it is a way of death.As a general who fought on the battlefield, Baffarman naturally understood this truth. He would not do this in normal times, but for his elephant cavalry, he had to do it.

Although the elephant cavalry is powerful, its status is basically equal to the armored group of later generations, but its huge power also means a huge target. If in later generations, what would be the reaction of an infantry of an army when it encountered an armored division?Of course, it's a scumbag and runs away, unless the brain is convulsed, it will collide with human flesh and steel.

Bafawarman was also afraid that Li Zhen would know the news about the elephant cavalry in advance and thus make a strategic shift, so he deliberately gathered 40 troops to confuse Li Zhen's eyes and hide the existence of the elephant cavalry.

But now there is no need to hide, just like what Zhu Yunrang said, Li Zhen has been driven into a desperate situation, there is a strong enemy in front of him and there is no way out, they have no way to retreat, and there is no need for elephant cavalry to hide.

However, 40 is too much after all. So many armies are mixed together, and they can't be dispersed if they want to. It will take at least two or three days to do it, and we must be careful when separating It will cause chaos.Moreover, it is necessary to prevent Tang Jun from coming to make trouble, otherwise the separation will fail, and it may lead to chaos-and once such a thing really happens, the loss of Chenla will be heavy.

Chapter 284 I'm Not Here

But Baffavarman and his subordinates, even Luo Tianyuan, didn't care about it, because they knew very well that the Boys' Army was at the end of its rope, almost everyone was injured, and it was too late to recuperate, so how could they have the time to come and make trouble? ?

But just when everyone thought it was impossible for the Tang army to come, Li Zhen led people to the edge of the Chenla barracks, and quickly launched a surprise attack on the Chenla army, causing quite a mess.If it weren't for the fact that the number of the Boys' Army was too small, only about three thousand, and the leading generals in Chenla were also very experienced, and quickly suppressed the chaos with iron and blood, maybe the chaos would really lead to a bombing of the camp.

Although it did not cause a catastrophe in the end, Li Zhen's actions undoubtedly slapped Bafarman on the face severely. How could the proud King Bafarman bear it?

"Bastard, I think he is really tired of his life. There are only 3000 people, but he dared to surprise my 40 army. How brave." Baffarman lost his temper in the camp. Honestly, he became a coward, and no one dared to speak at this time, for fear that he would offend Baffa Valman if he said something wrong, and he would show his head in anger.

Bafarvalman was really angry this time, thinking that Bafarvalman has been on the battlefield for decades, and he has never suffered such a big loss. If he doesn't get back with revenge, what face will he have to face his courtiers? they?

"I want revenge, I want to take revenge fiercely, and I want to chop off Li Zhen's head and make it into a wine cup." After venting for a full hour, Bafavalman finally calmed down, but his mouth was still muttering Whispering to chop off Li Zhen's head.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be angry. In fact, this might be a good thing." Seeing that Baffarman finally calmed down, Zhu Yunrang smiled lightly, shaking his folding fan.

"Zhu Yunrang, you have to be responsible for what you said." Baffarman shot a sharp look in his eyes. If Zhu Yunrang said this when he lost his temper just now, he believes that he will definitely not hesitate Cutting off Zhu Yunrang's head, he would never listen to Zhu Yunrang's explanation.But now that he has calmed down, his reason has returned to his mind, so naturally he will not make such a self-destructive act of the Great Wall.

"Don't worry, my lord. Since I said that, there is a reason for me." Zhu Yunrang didn't take Bafavalman's murderous eyes seriously.The two have been partners for so many years, and he knows his monarch's temperament too well. Although Bafarman's tone is very aggressive, Zhu Yunrang knows that Bafarman has calmed down his anger and gave himself a chance to explain.

Gently shaking the folding fan in his hand, Zhu Yunrang said with a light smile: "The reason is very simple, Li Zhen's attack this time is indeed beyond our expectations, if his number is more, maybe it will really cause us great harm. Injury... However, the fact is that Li Zhen dispatched only a little over 3000 people this time...

Then the question arises, Li Zhen is also a veteran in the battlefield, he should understand that the first surprise attack is the best result, and he has enough manpower, so why didn't he dispatch more people?We must know that after the first raid, we will inevitably take precautions. Even if he comes with another 1 people, he will not be able to achieve the effect of the first time. This is really incomprehensible.

Is it because he doesn't have enough hands?But our intelligence clearly shows that Li Zhen obviously has at least 1 people, why didn't he send everyone out?We must know that our losses in the raid of the [-] Boys' Army are definitely several times that of the current one, but why didn't he do this? "

"I think it's not that Li Zhen doesn't want to. The only reason is that he can't gather so many people." Luo Tianyuan smiled and took up the conversation: "Although the information shows that Li Zhen still has at least 1 people, But the total number of people is not equal to the combat effectiveness—wounded soldiers are also included in the total number.”

"Brother Luo also means what I mean." Zhu Yunrang glanced at Luo Tianyuan in agreement, and continued: "It seems that Li Zhen's situation is worse than we imagined. Among the more than 1 people, only Three thousand battle-worthy soldiers can be gathered, and according to the report below, there are still many wounded soldiers wrapped in gauze among the 3000 people-that is to say, Li Zhen now only has these three thousand soldiers who are defeated, otherwise he It is impossible to pass up such a good opportunity.

Originally, I was a little skeptical about the information we intercepted, but now through Li Zhen's actions, we have been able to confirm the authenticity of this information. "

"What the military adviser said is indeed reasonable. This king was too impulsive before, so please don't blame the military adviser." When Bafavalman heard it, he immediately smiled: "That is to say, we can attack boldly in the next step. Li Zhen has already There is not much vitality left. We don’t even need to send out elephant soldiers, our current manpower alone is enough to kill Li Zhen.”

"It's best not to do this." Luo Tianyuan shook his head and said, "My lord, there is an old saying among us Han people called 'a lion fights a rabbit with all its strength', which means that we can indeed relax our minds when facing the weak, but it is best when we are facing each other. It is better to use the greatest strength, otherwise the opponent will come back if they are not careful, and at that time it will be embarrassing."

"What brother Luo said is exactly what I mean." Zhu Yunrang also persuaded: "After all, the young army is the elite that once swept the entire Linyi, and it almost defeated our army just now. It must not be underestimated, at this time we'd better be safe."

"It makes sense. Mr. Luo is indeed a great talent, and he is not inferior to a military adviser." Looking at Luo Tianyuan with admiration, Bafavalman's words could not help but carry a hint of solicitation: "After this battle, the king may want to Thank you very much, sir, you can stay in Chenla for a longer period of time, although my Chenla country is not as good as Tang Dynasty, but the scenery in some places is quite unique, when the time comes, I will let the military division personally accompany you to have a good tour."

"Then thank you, Your Majesty, but let's wait until after the battle. The current situation is more important." Luo Tianyuan's eyes flashed with contempt, and he still wants to recruit me?Let's wait until the Chenla Kingdom can still exist after this war.Datang has more than 3 people like Li Zhen. Besides, you killed Li Zhen and wiped out the hope of Datang's future, and you still expect Datang to let you go?You are so naive.

"That's right, then let's discuss the matter in front of us first." Luo Tianyuan thought he was hiding it well, but he didn't know that the contempt in his eyes did not escape Bafavalman's eyes at all.

Chapter 512 Bafarman's True Thoughts

Chapter 285 Bafavalman's True Thoughts

The contempt in Luo Tianyuan's eyes made Bafavalman's murderous intent flourish, and he sneered even more—do you really think I don't know what you are all thinking?Do you really think that I will help you kill Li Zhen?You are so naive.

Obviously, Bafavalman was not a fool, he had no intention of killing Li Zhen at all.

In fact, this is also normal. As a generation of heroes, if he will believe what others say, how can Bafa Walman come to this day?In fact, he has always been very wary of this 'ally' who came to him out of nowhere.

Since the arrival of these 'allies', he has not terminated the investigation on these people. The origins of Luo Tianyuan and the others are very easy to find out, but it didn't take long. Some basic information about Luo Tianyuan and others, even Li Zhen On Bafar Valman's table.

Although this information is not a secret, basically anyone with a heart can find it in Datang, but Bafar Walman is Bafar Walman after all, and he still found a piece of information from this series of almost semi-public information. Hidden clues——Behind Luo Tianyuan and others are aristocratic families and Confucianism.And Li Zhen is the absolute enemy of the aristocratic family and the Confucianism, so the reason why the Confucianism and the aristocratic family came to him is very clear, that is, they want to use my own hands to help them get rid of Li Zhen, the enemy of life and death.

But Baffavarman is also very clear that Li Zhen is the most beloved son of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, and also the prince who is most likely to inherit the throne. If Li Zhen dies in his hands, then he will be greeted by the madness of the Tang Dynasty Revenge——If you offend Datang by using Datang as a knife to attack Nanyang, this enmity can still be reconciled.But if he really killed Li Zhen, then he would really be the unending enemy of Datang. Facing the crazy attack of Datang, even if Chenla has an army of 40, it is unknown whether Chenla can survive for three months things.

So from the very beginning, Bafawarman had no intention of killing Li Zhen at all. He just wanted to capture Li Zhen alive, thereby forcing Datang to sign the non-aggression treaty, and preserve a chance for Chenla.

As for dominating Nanyang, the current Bafavalman no longer has that ambition, because he knows very well that since Datang has turned his attention to Nanyang and has seen the prosperity of Nanyang, it means that Datang's military front will be very fast. It will turn around and point to Nanyang. Li Zhen is just a vanguard.As Nanyang natives, no matter how they resist, the entire Nanyang will eventually be the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no other possibility, at most it will be sooner or later.

And as a hero of the generation, if Bafavalman can win a ray of life for Chenla under the offensive of the Tang Dynasty and save a little vitality, then even if he does not dominate Nanyang, he will definitely be the greatest in the history of Chenla and even in the history of Nanyang. king, and none.

So from the beginning to the end he didn't intend to kill Li Zhen, but he didn't tell anyone about this idea, because compared with Datang, the anti-Li Zhen alliance is not weak, if he let them know his thoughts , then Chenla may soon change to a new king-don't doubt, they can really do such a thing.

"But being harassed by Li Zhen, we have to speed up our dispersal." Zhu Yunrang also didn't know what Bafarman was thinking, and he was frowning at the situation before him: "And we must first separate the elephant cavalry .”

"Then follow the advice of the military adviser." Bafavarman also agreed with Zhu Yunrang's words, and he naturally understood what Zhu Yunrang meant.Although Li Zhen only has [-] soldiers left to fight, judging from the attack just now, the combat effectiveness of the youth army has not been weakened much.Moreover, there is a degree of advance and retreat, not only caused a lot of casualties to the Chenla army during the attack, but also calmly retreated. Not only did he withdraw completely, but he even had time to bring back the corpses of his comrades who died in battle. , which shows how relaxed they are.

After Li Zhen's surprise attack, the separation speed of the Chenla army became even faster. After a long time of coordination, the first to be separated was the elephant cavalry. A total of [-] armored elephants stood at the entrance of the canyon. Like giant beasts coming out of the wilderness, their power is soaring, and the momentum alone is enough to deter some weak-willed troops.

The elephant cavalry is not only amazing in momentum, but also extremely powerful. There are a total of six thousand elephants. If they are allowed to charge, let alone a 40 army, even if there are another 40, they will not be able to face the charging elephant herd. Absolutely can't resist it.

As the elephant cavalry was separated, there was also an elite army of more than 3 people who were separated at the same time. This is to follow the elephant cavalry to pick up leaks, and at the same time to protect the elephant cavalry fighters. The infantry is still very important.

With the urging of the riders, [-] elephants and [-] elite infantry slowly drove into the canyon.

And this scene just fell into the eyes of Li Zhen who was hidden on a high ground in the canyon.

That's right, you read that right, Li Zhen didn't retreat to the opposite side of the canyon at all after raiding the Chenla army. The Chenla army is ruthless.

"Your Highness, the enemy has started to attack. Shall we fight again?" Fang Yiai watched the elephant cavalry slowly approaching in the distance, and subconsciously swallowed: "Speaking of which, these six thousand elephants are going Standing here, this deterrence is really sufficient, can our weapons really beat elephants?"

"Of course there is no problem." Compared to Fang Yi'ai's worries, Li Zhen seemed very confident: "As long as the elephant walks into our trap, the people of Chenla will just wait to ask for trouble - it's true The Greeks are really stupid enough to camp at the entrance of the canyon, aren't they afraid of playing with fire and setting themselves on fire?"

"I'm not sure about this, maybe I'm too confident? But it's a pity that so many elephants have been destroyed." Fang Yiai said with a face full of pain: "There are [-] elephants that have been trained. The elephant cavalry, if we capture them all, who else in Nanyang will be our opponent?"

"Don't worry, as long as we win this battle, let alone [-] elephants, even if it is [-] elephants, it will be easy to train." Li Zhen said with a smile: "Nanyang people are stupid, they don't know how big elephants are. If you don’t know how to sum up the rules, don’t we know how to sum up?”

Chapter 286 Ambush

Seeing that Fang Yiai still had a pained face, Li Zhen smiled and said: "If you really feel distressed, then I will temporarily hand over the Shenji Battalion to your command, and you will shoot the rider on the back of the elephant cavalry. Rider, doesn't this elephant belong to us?"

"This is a good idea, so it's settled?" Fang Yi'ai was obviously moved, and began to imagine the majestic scene of leading thousands of elephants to sweep Nanyang, almost drooling.

"What a fart, didn't you hear that His Highness was joking?" Xue Rengui patted him on the back of the head with hatred, and said angrily: "There are five thousand elephants in this batch that were given to the real elephant by Confucianism. La Wang’s——in order to eliminate us, they gave away [-] elephants to a stranger for nothing? Would Confucianism be so kind? Who knows if they have left behind elephants? What if they really left behind? We seized these elephants again, and at the critical moment Confucianism used the second hand, who knows what will happen?"

"That's true, but I still think it's a pity." Fang Yiai said a little unwillingly.
