Li Shi Min and the other two stood behind Huang Tai Sun as they watched the army raise their arms and shout.
Li Shimin was deeply moved. Apart from the West Ocean Army, the Emperor's grandson had other elite troops.
Moreover, the imposing manner of the black-armored cavalry and Sui Wuzu had shocked Li Shimin the most.
Li Shi Min felt that even if he had 300,000 soldiers, he wouldn't have the confidence to fight against such an elite army.
"How did the imperial grandson train such a terrifying army?”
Li Shi Min muttered to himself in shock.
Li Xiu Ning was no less surprised than Li Shi Min. She had thought that the most elite army of the imperial grandson would be the West Ocean Army.
Now, it seemed that this was not the case.
The West Ocean army was only one of the elite armies, and now, Huang Taisun had brought out another elite army.
Before witnessing the battle at Yanmen Pass, Li Xiuning believed that the powerful army of the Great Sui was probably the Xiao Guo Guard.
But now, it seemed that she was still a little ignorant. It would be good if the Vigor Guard could be ranked in the top three.
The most shocked was Wang Shichong. As the general manager of Luoyang, both the Luoyang garrison and the Vigor Guard were elite troops.
However, in front of the black-armored cavalry and Sui Wuzu, he seemed to be much weaker. This made him even more respectful of the current imperial grandson.
The generals who would accompany them had basically been confirmed, and the remaining people would stay in Luoyang, the eastern capital.
"My son, remember to be careful."
Li Yuan muttered to himself as he looked at Li Shiming and the others.
"Let's go!"
Looking at the high morale of the army, Yang Ji nodded in satisfaction and immediately gave the order to march.
The 70,000-strong army changed direction and moved along the official road outside Luoyang. A long dragon was meandering forward in the direction of Luokou Cang.
The violent sound of horse hooves grew farther and farther away. As the army left, the people at the city gate watched Huang Taisun leave.
"I hope that the imperial grandson can return triumphantly and quickly pacify all the rebel forces of the Great Sui.”
"Aren't you talking nonsense? This is inevitable!”
……
In the discussion hall of the Wagang village.
Xu Shiji and Li Mi both frowned deeply.
Xu Shiji seemed to be thinking about something, his fingers twisting and pinching the corner of his Daoist robe.
According to the previous plan, the Wagang Village had originally planned to take advantage of the time when Sui Shihuang's grandson was in power to lead the army to launch a fierce attack on Luokou Cang.
However, news of Sui Shihuang's grandson sending troops had arrived today, forcing Xu Shiji to postpone his plans.
If they insisted on attacking Luokou Cang, it was very likely that after the Sui army arrived, their retreat would be cut off and they would be wiped out by the Sui army.
Although the current strength of the Tile Gang Village was not small, Li Mi and the others would still feel distressed if they lost tens of thousands of people.
Especially in the current situation, the loss of troops was even more serious for the Tile Gang Village.
With the battle at Yanmen Pass, the Emperor's grandson had won over many people's hearts, so it was difficult for them to incite the people to rebel.
This also resulted in the loss of a large number of soldiers, and they would not be able to recover for a while.
"Advisor, the Sui army has already sent a large army over. How should we deal with it?”
After a moment of silence, Li Mi broke the silence and asked.
"The Sui army has an estimated 70,000 soldiers. In terms of military strength, our Wagang Village still has a considerable advantage.”
Xu Shiji said solemnly.
Indeed, the Wagang Village had the advantage in terms of military strength. After all, they had a total of 400,000 soldiers, so it was not difficult for them to deal with an army of 70,000.
If it was an ordinary Great Sui army, it would indeed be like this.
But now, they had to deal with the elite army led by Huang Taisun.
The armies that were related to the imperial grandson were usually extraordinary.
Thus, even if the Great Sui had only dispatched 70,000 soldiers, Xu Shiji still did not dare to underestimate them.
"Why are you afraid of them? Just fight them head-on.”
Cheng Yaojin scratched the back of his head and mumbled.
Xu Shiji and the others automatically ignored Cheng Yaojin's suggestion. After all, he couldn't come up with any good suggestions.
"From the report, we know that Sui Shihuang's grandson didn't lead the West Ocean army this time. In other words, his combat strength won't be that terrifying.”
" Besides, it's impossible for there to be many elite troops like the West Ocean Army. It's very likely that the army led by Sui Shihuang's grandson this time isn't as terrifying as we think.”
Wang Bodang, who was Li Mi's confidant, said.
His deduction was not without reason. How could an elite army be a cabbage that could be seen everywhere?
Such an army was naturally more valuable when it was rare. It was already quite an amazing thing for Sui Shihuang's grandson to have 30,000 troops.
"Now, the Wagang Village is facing this difficulty. This difficulty is Luokou Cang. If it is occupied by the Sui army, they can use Luokou Cang as a stronghold to fight against the Wagang Village for a long time.”
"If the Sui army makes use of the convenient transportation of Luokou Granary, they can dispatch troops from various regions. No matter how many troops the Wagang Stronghold has, I'm afraid they won't be able to resist.”
Xu Shiji frowned.
The key point was Luokou Cang. The Wagang Stronghold could not let the Sui army occupy Luokou Cang.
"Then what the military counselor means is that we must send troops to meet the Sui army no matter what?”
Li Mi frowned and asked.
If Luo Kou Cang was lost, the situation of the Tile Gang Village would become serious, and there was even the danger of being exterminated. This was no child's play.
Xu Shiji nodded heavily. He absolutely could not lose Luokou Cang. No matter how valiant the Qin army was, the Wagang stronghold had to seize Luokou Cang.
Once they seized Luokou Cang, they could use it as a stronghold to slowly deal with the Sui army.
"In that case, let's fight."
Li Mi took a deep breath and made up his mind.
"Since the Sui army dispatched 70,000 troops, we will dispatch 150,000 troops.”
Xu Shiji suggested.
This move could show the advantage of military strength, unless they were unlucky enough to encounter an elite army similar to the West Ocean Army. If not, they could still deal with the Great Sui.
In addition, for the sake of safety, Xu Shiji had suggested sending out an army of 150,000 instead of 200,000 or even more.
The true purpose of the 150,000 troops was to test the Sui army. If they could not defeat the Sui army, the army could quickly retreat into the Wagang Village to reduce their losses.
"In that case, send 150,000 troops.”
Xu Shiji's suggestion quickly received Li Mi's approval.
"Shan Xiong Xin will be the commander, Cheng Yaojin will be the vanguard general, and Uncle Wang will be the deputy general.”
Xu Shiji continued.
Li Mi did not have any objections. Shan Xiong Xin was also a suitable candidate. After all, Shan Xiong Xin had few opponents in the Wagang Village.
"Yes!"
Shan Xiong Xin and Cheng Yaojin stepped forward at the same time.
"Although this battle is important, if we can't defeat you, you must quickly retreat.”
Xu Shiji exhorted.
