The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

Powder barrels are absolutely invincible weapons in today's wars. They subvert conventional warfare. Even one explosive barrel can easily change the direction of a war if used properly.

Li Jing was very resistant to this weapon. He did not want the army to rely on this weapon to win and lose the combat effectiveness of an army.

The border wall of the Persian Empire was directly leveled by the bombardment of hundreds of explosive barrels, and the defenders and countless slaves who refused to get out were also killed and wiped out.

Only then did the young generals accompanying the army understand how the Tang Dynasty had destroyed an allied army twice as large as its own with an army of half a million.

This is completely a large-scale massacre!

Once the border barrier blocking the advance of the army was broken, the 300,000 cavalry were able to attack directly into the Persian Empire without any hindrance.

Li Jing assigned his troops to the young generals and asked them to lead the troops to attack several important cities in the Persian Empire through different routes.

But no matter what, he strictly prohibited the use of powder barrels. Li Jing was proud. His pride came from the invincible cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, not from any powder barrels!

No one can stop the Tang Dynasty cavalry after entering the pass, and all enemies will be trampled under the iron hooves!

Although the Tang army had entered the pass, the Persian emperor still tried to use the human sea tactic and used slaves to consume the Tang army's strength, but he thought everything was too simple.

At the border, you can still take advantage of the danger of the city wall and use human lives in exchange for defense, but let the slave soldiers directly fight the Tang Dynasty cavalry...

To give a simple example, one hundred tigers and ten thousand sheep fight, which one do you think? Will there be final victory?

No matter how many sheep there are, they are no match for the tigers. Let alone killing them, they are almost enough to suffocate them to death!

Soldiers are the most dangerous weapons. A truly elite army is a killing machine. They have undergone rigorous training, have elite equipment, have tacit cooperation, and have excellent command...

What do slave soldiers have? In a head-on battle, they would only be massacred!

Hundreds of thousands of slaves sent by the Persian emperor were killed by the Tang army. Their corpses were scattered all over the fields. In the end, those slaves would rather be killed by the soldiers of the Persian Empire than fight the Tang army again.

Because death is meaningless!

One party marched straight in, and the other retreated steadily. However, within a few days, a large part of the Persian Empire had fallen, and the remaining elite troops of less than 100,000 could only retreat to a few important cities such as the royal city.

The Persian Empire's front had a comprehensive advantage, and some accidents occurred on the Koguryo front.

The country was about to be destroyed. The King of Goryeo first wrote a letter to Su Dingfang in person, stating that Goguli was willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and be a minister forever, hoping in exchange for the Tang Dynasty's withdrawal.

But how could Su Dingfang pay attention to these tricks of the King of Goryeo?

The last time Gaogouli paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty, he still participated in the Five Kingdoms' conquest of the Tang Dynasty. Because of this, Li Changqing's dispatch of troops this time was bound to destroy Gaogouli.

After surrendering to no avail, the King of Goryeo immediately asked the Kingdom of Da Shi for help, begging the latter to send troops to resist.

The Kingdom of Dashi knew the truth of the death of lips and teeth, so it agreed to the request of the King of Goryeo and invested the last 300,000 elites in Goguryeo to help it resist the Tang army.

"Folks, our time has come!"

After reading the secret information in his hand, the head of the Wang family looked happy and said excitedly to the heads of the clans in the hall.

"Li Changqing's 600,000 troops were involved in the front lines of Gaoguli and the Persian Empire. The generals went out with the army, and there was no army to guard the country. Now is our best opportunity to raise troops to kill Li Changqing!"

Hearing this, the old eyes of the clan leaders lit up!

This is the opportunity they have been waiting for for a long time!

"good! We immediately gathered private soldiers to attack Chang'an! Please help me, the Li family of Longxi, to ascend the throne and become emperor!"

The Li family waved their long sleeves and their eyes were filled with fire.

These aristocratic families have been inherited for hundreds of years. Which family does not have private soldiers in captivity? In total, there are a hundred thousand! It is terrifying!

Supporting the Li family in Longxi to come to power, this This was something that each aristocratic family had planned long ago, so no one had any objections.

In just a few days, the Li family, the Zheng family, the Wang family, the Lu family, the Cui family and other major families gathered a hundred thousand private soldiers to fight. With the slogan of killing Li Changqing, the thief of the country, he went straight to Chang'an!

……

Chang'an, Tai Chi Hall

"These treacherous traitors! I want to kill all nine of their tribes!"

After Li Xiuning learned the news of the rebellion of the major families, she was so angry that her face was livid and furious.

But Li Changqing, who was sitting next to her, was calm and looked neither sad nor happy.

Many ministers were as quiet as ice and did not dare to speak.

Only Wei Zheng had an anxious look on his face, and he cupped his hands and said:"Now that the army is fighting outside, I would like to ask your two majesties to leave this place as soon as possible, and order Marshal Li Jing to lead his troops back to kill the rebels before returning to Chang'an!""

"Your Majesty, there are young people among the people who have spontaneously formed an army. I am willing to lead the troops to fight to the death against the rebels and delay your Majesty's escape!"

Fang Xuanling took off the official hat on his head, with a resolute look on his face, and the determination to die had already emerged in his heart.

Several ministers who were loyal to Li Changqing also said the same thing, and they all advised Li Changqing and Li Xiuning to leave Chang'an. There was a lot of noise in the palace.

These The rebellion of the aristocratic family came too suddenly. Their background as a century-old family was now exposed. In an instant, they raised an army of 100,000 people. What a terrifying force this is! It is simply terrifying!

After hearing the words of the ministers, Li Changqing smiled faintly and said:"Why are you so panicked? It's just a group of rebels. There are still 30,000 imperial guards guarding Chang'an. How can we be afraid of these young people?"

"His Majesty! Thirty thousand imperial guards might not be able to defeat a hundred thousand rebels!"

Wei Zheng urged bitterly that the most elite army of the Tang Dynasty was still the 600,000 troops that went out to fight. Chang'an's imperial guards were really worrying, let alone only 30,000. However,

Li Changqing remained unmoved. He said:"Does Wei Qing know where our elite veterans of the Tang Dynasty cavalry went after they were discharged from the army?"
