Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

really,

Behind the suspension bridge, inside the city gate, soldiers and horses gathered, spears and spears stood everywhere, and men in armor were everywhere, crowding a street that was four or five feet wide inside the entire city gate.

Rather than being crowded, it would be more appropriate to say that they are arranged in an orderly manner, but there are too many people, so no matter how orderly the arrangement is, it still looks crowded.

Guo Ye was afraid of bumping into the front, so he whispered instructions to Zhao Jiuchou and Cheng Erniu, then slowed down the speed of horse riding, and slowly reached the front of thousands of soldiers.

Good guy, these are the reinforcements from Kang Baoqiu?Judging by the number of people, there are at least two thousand people.

Guo Ye looked at the 2000-strong army, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the frontier army is the frontier army, after all, they are different.

In comparison, the local government soldiers are poor and rich and handsome, let alone the tattered Longxi army in their hands.

Guo Ye's first impression of this 2000-strong frontier army was that the army was neat, well-equipped, and fierce.

Especially the last point, from the stern movements, arrogant brows and murderous eyes of these soldiers, it undoubtedly shows that this frontier army has been on the real battlefield and killed the enemy, and crawled over from the dead.

After careful observation, he even found that more than [-] people were fully equipped with armor, all of which were iron armor such as mountain pattern armor and fine scale armor. Grandma's, even leather armor, kapok armor and other cheap goods could not be found. One piece.

Two thousand people are equipped with such armor, how much money will it cost?

Moreover, the square teams of different regiments have different types of arms.

The more than 300 people lined up in the front, armed with long spears, should be spearmen; the 300 or so people in the middle, with long bows on their shoulders, and crossbows in their waists and hips, should be crossbowmen; With swords on the waist and hips and a cloak, it is full of majesty. Needless to say, these [-] people are definitely the most elite cavalry in this army.

As for the last, 200 people gathered together to take pictures at the gate of the city. Guo Yeguang saw [-] pairs of shining bright light armor on his body, and he didn't know what kind of arms they were.

However, it stands to reason that the Mingguang Armor is the most expensive armor in the army. These 200 people can be uniformly equipped, and they should be the elite of the elite, at least not inferior to the cavalry.

Guo Ye was stunned and couldn't guess what type of arms these 200 people were.

Forget it, he gave up unnecessary speculation, thinking that he would find out by asking the generals of these 2000 people.

Guo Ye found that after careful observation for so long, this army seemed to have their legs filled with lead, motionless, not moving at all, let alone ordinary soldiers like Youzi and Qiu Ba, who entered the city for entertainment and domineering. Fan.

It seems that the master ordered to rest on the spot.

Orders and prohibitions are indeed a disciplined frontier army.

At this moment, Guo Ye dismounted from his horse and stopped, except for sighing, or sighing.

……

……

"Brother, haha, brother, brother, I'm back!"

A rough and warm voice approached from a distance, Guo Ye was not without surprise, because he recognized that it was Kang Bao's voice.

Looking for the direction of the voice, Guo Ye turned his head and saw Kang Bao striding over, his face full of joy.

As soon as he ran forward, Kang Bao Buzhi laughed loudly, habitually hugged Guo Yexiong, then lightly punched him on the back, and praised: "Brother, I really have you. Without making a sound, before the arrival of the reinforcements, the city of Tuva was also taken down, shit, brother convinced!"

Familiarity is familiarity, Guo Ye is still not used to Kang Bao's hug, it is always weird for two big men to hug each other.

Then avoided Kang Bao's bear hug, took a step back, and said with a frightened look: "Brother Kang, you still like this tune."

Kang Bao was in a good mood, instead of arguing with Guo Ye this time, he joked, "Brother, you are still not used to this tone!"

"Ha~~"

"Ha ha……"

When Kang Bao said this, he not only amused Guo Ye, but also laughed with himself.

After the two exchanged a few words of pleasantries, Guo Ye asked first, "Brother Kang, where did you go for reinforcements?"

When Kang Bao first heard it, he thought it was Guo Ye who was complaining that his reinforcements arrived late, almost costing the lives of more than [-] soldiers from the Longxi Army.

Suddenly, a sense of guilt and guilt arose spontaneously.

"Ugh……"

He sighed, shook his head and said angrily: "Don't mention it, it's a long fucking story. You know, from here all the way to the north, there are deserts everywhere, extremely desolate, except for a few outposts and beacon towers, there are no other places. Speaking of border garrison, there is no fucking place to settle down and beg for a bowl of water!"

"The garrisons at the outposts and beacon towers don't add up to a few hundred people. What's the use of asking for them?"

"Fortunately, my brother is thinking about you brothers in my heart, and I dare not slack off in the slightest. I have suffered a lot on this journey to the north, and I almost died of thirst on the road. I was nearly swept away by sandstorms twice. Grandma's, Emperor Heaven paid off, and finally allowed Lao Tzu to enter Hexi Road safely."

"An old friend of my father happened to be the captain of Zhechong in a state capital on Hexi Road. I went to visit this uncle and told about Ali Tucheng and the remnants of the Sui Dynasty one by one, and asked him to help think about it. Think of ways to."

"Hey, I don't know why, this matter got into the ears of Mr. Chai, the head of the Hexi Road Marching Army the next day. Later, although I didn't see Mr. Chai, I got Mr. Chai's promise from my uncle to send 2000 People's reinforcements followed me back to rescue and wipe out the remnants of the Sui Dynasty remaining on the border of Tubo."

"Well—"

Kang Bao gave the 2000-strong army a thumbs-up, and said, "They are the Hexi Army, a total of 2000 people. They came to rescue us by the order of Mr. Chai, the marching chief of Hexi Road."

Be good, the Chief of the Longxi Road Marching Army?Master Chai?

Could it be Li Yuan's beloved son-in-law, the husband of Li Xiuning, the legendary first female general of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's brother-in-law, Chai Shao, the highest-ranking war horse among the royal consorts?

Guo Ye is very clear that this Chai Shao is not an ordinary person, this man is one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

It's a fairy farting, it's extraordinary.

Generally speaking, if the captain-in-law is not appointed as a marquis, does not worship a minister, does not lead an army and does not sit in a town, he is just a white-faced gentleman who eats and waits to die.

But this Chai Shao is different. Tang Gaozu Li Yuan’s army was too far away. The Chai family sold pots and sold iron to support Lao Li’s rebellion. Not only was he recruited as a son-in-law, he also became a general under Li Shimin’s command. .

It’s not enough to confer the Duke of the State. After His Majesty Li Er’s Xuanwumen incident succeeded him, he even promoted the virtuous and did not avoid his relatives. Governor of Huazhou.

This time to conquer the Turks, he was appointed as the general manager of the Hexi Road Marching Army, and asked him to cooperate with Wei Guogong Li Jing's army to attack the old nest of the Eastern Turks Jieli Khan.

In the current situation of the war, the Eastern Turks have been greatly injured, and they are not far from the destruction of the country.At this time, let Chai Shao lead the army to conquer the Turks in the north. To put it bluntly, this is His Majesty Li Er's gift of great military achievements to his sister-in-law.

Thinking of this, Guo Ye was taken aback for a moment. That's right, isn't the army from Hexi Road about to go to Turkic for the last battle?

How could reinforcements be spared at this time?

Could it be that the words "remnants of the Sui Dynasty" aroused the desire of the old son-in-law Chai Shao?

Grandma, this old son-in-law is not ordinary greedy, casting a net everywhere.The credit for the Northern Expedition to the Turks is going to be reaped, and the credit for exterminating the remnants of the Sui Dynasty here is also wanted to get a big share.

Guo Ye didn't naively take it for granted that Chai Shao sent 2000 people to kill their little-known Longxi miscellaneous army.

But thinking about it, he also found it funny.If he hadn't sent Kang Bao to ask for reinforcements, there would be no such thing as Chai Shao sending troops to Tuva City.

Then this 2000-strong Hexi Army will definitely get a lot of credit for the Northern Expedition to the Turks. Fortunately, with the death of Yang Tai, the remnants of the Sui Dynasty have become a dream.
