Tang Dynasty, I can lead troops through ancient and modern times

Although Yang Cheng didn't understand, he still insisted on bowing with his fists clasped.

"I bow on behalf of all Chinese people. Thank you, His Majesty, the Khan, for creating a glorious era for China. It is the prosperous Tang Dynasty you created, which has always been our goal to fight for, and is the spiritual homeland of every Chinese person."

Li Chengqian was translating on the side, and Li Shimin felt as if his chest was blocked after hearing it.

He was very ashamed that the so-called prosperous Tang Dynasty was not much better than it is now.

The common people were still barely making ends meet, the aristocratic families were still exploiting the lower classes, and although the peoples of the border grasslands had surrendered, small tribes still occasionally looted border villages and towns.

Apart from the fact that there was no war within the Tang Dynasty, the so-called prosperous Tang Dynasty was not much better than it is now!

He felt that he was not worthy of such a great gift from a general a thousand years later.

I feel unworthy of this gift and can only return it with a great gift. As an emperor, I would like to thank this general who has worked so hard for future generations.

Li Chengqian and Li Jing stood aside, watching the two perform with a smile.

"It's interesting. An emperor and a commander of the Eighth Route Army, both of them are eloquent, affectionate and righteous. Not bad!!" Li Chengqian joked.

Li Jing glanced at him and said, "Your Highness, don't speak lightly. This is the heritage of the nation and a thousand-year-old etiquette. We must take it seriously."

As he spoke, Li Jing also followed his Majesty the Emperor and saluted Yang Cheng solemnly...

After a heart-to-heart talk, Li Chengqian and his two companions finally got to know each other officially.

Although Yang Cheng still had some doubts in his heart, it didn't matter.

What’s important is that they fought side by side and faced the Japanese’s massive raid together.

But what Li Chengqian said next made him silent.

"We will return to Datang tonight. Please, Commander Yang, give us a mission that will bring great benefits to the Eighth Route Army and is dangerous."

"You must return to Datang tonight!!"

"Why don't you stay a little longer?"

Li Chengqian shook his head: "We would like to stay longer, but each time we travel through time, we only have three days. Now it's the third day..."

Yang Cheng fell silent.

He knew that Li Chengqian would not speak nonsense.

Since this is the case, we should maximize the role of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

Yang Cheng took out a map and pointed to the location of Mancheng: "This is Mancheng, the largest stronghold near the devils, threatening the survival of the three bases including mine."

"Since you can be resurrected after dying in battle, I will contact the leaders of the other two bases and gather all our forces to take down this stronghold, so that our three bases can catch their breath and have the opportunity to grow stronger."

"Your mission is to lurk inside the city and act as a death squad to open the city gates. What do you think? Do you dare?"

Li Chengqian raised his lips: "Suicide Squad, just what I want!!"

After the general direction was decided, Yang Cheng quickly sent people to contact the other two bases.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, two regiment commanders arrived with their troops.

Like Yang Cheng, they also have thin bodies, but they are very energetic and their eyes are bright.

After seeing this, Li Shimin, Li Jing and others couldn't help but secretly praise him, saying what a brave general he is!

Yang Cheng showed the captured equipment to the two regiment commanders and told them his plan.

After seeing the massive amount of weapons and ammunition, the two captains both felt that the plan was feasible.

The combined strength of the three regiments is only about 1,500 people. With the addition of the guerrillas, it would be no problem to form a team of 2,000 people to attack the entire city.

The key question now is whether reinforcements will be sent from Baoding after the city experiences this emergency.

Baoding is only sixty miles away from Mancheng. If we want to provide support, we can get there in two hours.

Although this possibility is very high, it cannot be an excuse for them to give up attacking Mancheng.

They must take advantage of the fact that they have sufficient weapons and ammunition to completely disrupt the plan of sweeping the entire city and the surrounding areas.

As long as the Japanese in the city retreated, even if Baoding still existed, it would have to face harassment from the major bases in the east and north at the same time.

There was not much energy left to spare to continue the sweep westward, so their three bases were only able to stabilize their position temporarily.

After stabilizing their own base, they will be able to help bases in other directions.

By taking this point to lead the whole, it is very likely to change the situation of the large-scale mopping-up operation in the entire area east of Taihang Mountains.

The troops of the three regiments quickly assembled, distributed weapons, and familiarized themselves with the weapons' performance.

Yang Cheng contacted Zhang Erpi again.

As a key figure, whether he can sneak into the city depends on his network of relationships in the city.

After some exchange, Li Chengqian's thirty heavy cavalrymen followed Zhang Erpi and left.

The two captains looked at the heavy armor on them and finally asked the questions in their hearts.

"Who are they?"

Yang Cheng didn't want too many people to know this. After all, he himself didn't quite believe it.

"I don't know either, but I know they are Chinese like us, and they are heroes who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the victory of the war of resistance!"

It's two o'clock in the morning.

Led by Zhang Erpi, the group came to a place three miles away from Mancheng, dismounted and walked, quietly arriving at the city wall in the southeast corner of Mancheng.

Mancheng is a large city nearby. After last night's turmoil, the city walls were now full of patrolling devils.

From time to time, searchlights would shine everywhere.

But these did not pose any difficulty for Li Chengqian and his group. It was easy to hide from the searchlight.

After arriving under the city wall, Zhang Erpi groped around and soon found a secret door covered with mud. Underneath was a tunnel leading into the city.

"Let's go. This is a passage that the brothers in the city have spent a year digging. They have been waiting for this day."

The group passed through the tunnel and successfully arrived at a yard.

There was a man in the yard who responded and quickly pulled everyone up.

After Li Chengqian came out, he found that the exit was actually a well! !

"How is it? Are there any unusual movements by the Japanese in the city?" asked Zhang Erpi.

A man in a puppet army uniform replied while smoking a cigarette: "I heard that reinforcements will be sent from Baoding tomorrow. If we want to accomplish our mission, we have to do it tonight."

"But there are only so few of us, it's not easy!"

Zhang Erpi briefly explained Yang Cheng's plan.

The man's eyes lit up after hearing this: "With a team of more than 2,000 people, there is something to be done."

"There are less than 500 devils in the city now. As long as we can open the city gate, we can definitely take over the whole city."

"The key issue now is that both city gates are heavily guarded, and because the armory was stolen last night, the security is tight!!"

Zhang Erpi pointed at Li Chengqian and the others and said, "They were responsible for the theft at the armory last night."

The man was stunned at first, then looked at Li Chengqian and others in shock.

"So this is a great deed done by you heroes. I admire you guys!!"

Li Chengqian waved his hand: "It's nothing. I just took advantage of the lack of Japanese troops."

"What's your name, big brother? Is there any way to trick the city gate open?"
