Chapter 1979: Zhang Babai VS Li Sanqian (Part 1)
Hundred miles is not a short distance.
Li Shimin originally thought that Zhang Liao would arrive in one day, but he did not expect that only six hours later, the Qin army had already appeared ten miles away from the Tang army.
The Qin army came so fast that the Tang army was not ready to fight.
I thought that the Qin army would directly launch a charge, but I didn't expect that the Qin army just stopped ten miles away and did not immediately attack the Tang army.
“What’s going on?”
Ma Shanwei asked with a puzzled look, while Sima Yi frowned and replied: "The Qin army is marching so fast, the soldiers and horses must be extremely tired, so they need to take a rest to restore their physical strength for the battle."
"So the Qin army is exhausted? When we finish, we can take advantage of the situation before the Qin army's physical strength has recovered and defeat the general Qin army in one fell swoop." Ma Shanwei said with excitement.
Ma Shanwei thought he had found a way to defeat the enemy, but he didn't want everyone to look at him like a fool.
Ma Shanwei was a little annoyed and asked again: "Why, am I right?"
Li Kui Ze said: "That's true, but General Ma, you have to know that all the Qin army are cavalry. If they don't take the initiative to fight with our army, how can the infantry catch up with the cavalry?"
"this…"
Ma Shanwei was speechless for a moment, but then he argued forcefully: "We can let our cavalry go..."
Before he finished speaking, Ma Shanwei suddenly realized that the Tang Army’s cavalry was no longer in the army.
On the other side, Zhang Liao felt a little disappointed when he saw that the Tang army had not attacked.
He deliberately stopped ten miles away to rest, hoping that the Tang army would take the initiative to attack. Then he could rely on the speed advantage of the cavalry to consume the physical strength of the 60,000 elite Tang troops.
If the Tang army's physical strength is exhausted to a certain level before launching the final decisive battle, casualties can be minimized. Unfortunately, Li Shimin was not fooled.
Since the Tang army did not dare to attack, Zhang Liao naturally took a rest to restore the physical strength of his soldiers and horses.
“Send the order, rest for an hour, and send a message to Mrs. Mu, instructing her 10,000 troops to cooperate with our army to pursue the Tang army after our army defeats the Tang army.”

Zhang Liao did not want the Detachment of Women to join the war. If he had arrived early, he would have started the war directly. However, the Detachment of Detachment was half an hour ahead of him, so naturally he could not leave the Detachment of Detachment to work alone, so he gave the Detachment of Detachment a cleanup job.
“General Zhang, something is wrong.”
Zhang He, who had just conducted a reconnaissance from the front line, said to Zhang Liao with a serious face: "The last general went to observe the Tang Army, but there was no Tang Army cavalry. Now the Tang Army only has 50,000 troops left."
"Um?"
Zhang Liao immediately smelled a hint of conspiracy and asked: "It is impossible for the Tang army to attack Luoyang this time without cavalry. Does the news from Luoyang indicate the specific number of troops raised by the Tang army?"
“As I said, the Tang Army has a large number of cavalry, and there are also elites such as the Xuanjia Army and the Flying Bear Army.
In addition to entering the city and annihilating the Thousand Cavalry Flying Bear Army by the defenders, the Tang Army also had tens of thousands of cavalry. "
“Then the question is, where did these tens of thousands of cavalry go?”
Zhang Liao asked back, but Zhang He remained silent.
How did he know where the Tang army had gone, but he was certain that there must be a conspiracy.
After Zhang Liao pondered for a long time, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes and he said with a smile: "I know where the Tang Army's 10,000 cavalry have gone.
The Tang army divided its troops into two groups, intending to use 50,000 infantry to drag our army into the quagmire, and then use 10,000 cavalry to circle behind our army, always carrying out a pincer attack on our army. "
Zhang He was startled at first, then frowned and said: "Is Li Shimin crazy? How can he have the confidence to block our army's 40,000 cavalry with 50,000 infantry?"
"I don't know, maybe Li Shimin has some hidden cards, but we have to be on guard." After saying that, Zhang Liao decisively ordered: "Where are Xiao Yan and Huang Tianhua?"
“The end will be here.”
Two generals immediately stepped forward.
“General, I have ordered you and me to lead 10,000 cavalry. You do not have to participate in the upcoming decisive battle. Instead, you are independent from the entire army and are on guard against the 10,000 Tang Army cavalry that may appear at any time.
If the Tang Army's cavalry suddenly appears during the decisive battle, your 10,000 cavalry must stop it. "
Hearing this, Xiao Yan and Huang Tianhua immediately shouted in unison: "No."
In this way, the 40,000 Qin army was divided into two, 30,000 were used to fight the Tang army, and the other 10,000 were used to guard against the Tang army's cavalry, which was missing.
Although the number of troops in the decisive battle was 10,000 less, Zhang Liao was confident that he could defeat the 50,000 Tang army even with only 30,000 troops.
At the same time, when the Detachment of Women learned that Zhang Liao had asked them to go out to fight after defeating the Tang army, all the female generals immediately exploded.
“What does Zhang Wenyuan mean? Is this looking down on our women’s army?”
Qin Liangyu said angrily to envoy Zhang Liao.
“No, no, the general just doesn’t want the Detachment of Women to pay casualties.”
“No one can die in a war. The Women’s Army is not afraid of death, let alone casualties.”
"Yes, go back and tell Zhang Liao to let him go back. This time the main attack is on my Detachment of Women's Army."
"Don't talk nonsense, we people don't have such a big appetite, we can't eat 60,000 Tang troops."
A large group of iron ladies surrounded Zhang Liao's envoy and gave them a strong scolding, which made the envoy tremble in fear.
Seeing that the sisters were all talking bad about their husbands, Hu Sanniang looked embarrassed. She was also angered by her husband's sexual behavior, but no matter how wrong he was, he was still her husband.
She has a good sister who fights side by side on one side and a husband who sleeps with her on the other. She will naturally feel embarrassed when she is caught in the middle.
Seeing the embarrassment on Hu Sanniang's face, Hua Mulan immediately said: "Okay, shut up, everyone. Let me tell you, my brother-in-law also has good intentions, but his method is a little inappropriate."
Hua Mulan's words of "brother-in-law" also made the female generals realize that Hu Sanniang was still there. They looked at the Buddha's face instead of the monk's face, and immediately stopped saying anything wrong with Zhang Liao.
Deng Chanyu sighed softly and said: "It's hard to go to Luoyang, are you really just watching the battle on the side? How about Sanniang, please go and persuade your brother-in-law."
Hu Sanniang shook her head and said, "My husband is very stubborn. Even I can't change the decision he has made."
All the female generals were immediately disappointed, but they didn’t want Hu Sanniang to have any further questions.
“But if it’s Sister Mu, she may be able to change her husband’s mind.”
The eyes of all the female generals suddenly lit up.
That's right, the princess is on his side. How dare Zhang Liao not listen to what the princess says?
Seeing that the eyes of the female generals were focused on her, Mu Guiying smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, I will go and discuss with General Wenyuan. There is no way we can leave our army of 10,000 to watch the battle."
Zhang Liao never expected that even if the Detachment of Women did not accept his kindness, he would actually ask Mrs. Mu to come to him in person to ask for a mission, which was not so cruel to Lu Dongbin.
Second update, 3 chapters still owed
Zhang Liao’s eight hundred elite troops defeated Sun Quan’s 100,000 army, so they were called Zhang Babai.
Then Li Shimin’s 3,000 Xuanjia army defeated Dou Jiande’s 100,000 army. There should be nothing wrong with shouting “Li Sanqian”, right?
