Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Five or six thousand Gaochang rebels and soldiers of the Gaochang army who rolled and crawled, gritted their teeth and charged, ready to pull a back, all fell into a sea of ​​flames.

More than [-] kerosene tanks, with a total of [-] jin of kerosene, formed a wall of fire about [-] steps wide and more than ten miles long.

Five or six thousand Burning Men screamed in the sea of ​​flames.

Duan Zhigan galloped his horse around the wall of fire, chopped down a rebel soldier of the Gaochang Army, and shouted fiercely: "The fifth and seventh folds rushed to the mansion and left to clean up the battlefield. The others will follow me!"

Just when Duan Zhigan led the soldiers of the Hebei New Army to pursue Qu Wentai's remnants, Li Yuan, who was located in the Wude Hall of Chang'an Taiji Palace, also received an urgent report from Hedong Li Shimin.

In Li Shimin's urgent report, Li Shimin tearfully denounced the Hedong family for betraying Datang, betraying him, and selling his marching formation and detailed information on troop mobilization to the East Turks.Now the Eastern Turks are attacking the empty Yingzhou, Linzhou, Shenmu, Shanyin and other places. Yingzhou, which has the most troops in these places, has only one Zhechong Mansion with a mere [-] people. Facing the attack of tens of thousands of Turks, Certainly not for long.

Seeing this, Li Yuan became anxious. In today's Tang Dynasty, Guanzhong is still the most heavily defended. The sixteen guards, with a total of nearly 20 soldiers and horses, are stationed around Chang'an.All the troops that Hedong could use were used.However, Li Shimin is now trapped in Dingxiang, surrounded by tens of thousands of Eastern Turkic soldiers.

Seeing this, Li Yuan's eyes almost fell off.

Li Shimin is over!

Does Li Yuan want the white-haired man to send the black-haired man again?

Pei Ji was also dumbfounded when he saw this urgent report.

Li Shimin's record is obvious to all.

The first official appearance was in the 11th year of Daye, when Yang Guang's Yanmen Pass was besieged by the Eastern Turks. On August 24, Li Shimin served as an errand for Sui general Yun Dingxing.He offered advice to Yun Dingxing: "We are going to rescue His Majesty, but our troops are too small to use force directly. We should bluff the flag and beat drums at night, so that the Turks will mistakenly think that our reinforcements are coming and scare him away." Yun Ding Xing accepted.

Later historians often only talked about this, and avoided the subsequent records, making people mistakenly think that this strategy successfully rescued Yang Guang, so they admired Li Shimin, a young general.However, "Zizhi Tongjian" did not say that this plan was successful, and ended the whole paragraph directly, changing a paragraph to explain the real reason for the Turkic retreat: the emperor sent an envoy to ask for help from Princess Yicheng, and the princess sent an envoy to tell the end Yun: "There is an emergency in the north." Reinforcements from Dongdu and other counties also arrived at Xinkou; "

Li Shimin's first appearance was actually a failure.

The second battle was after Li Yuan raised his troops. From July to November of the 13th year of Daye, Li Shimin led the army to attack Huoyi.

Of course, the battle of Huoyi was fought by Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin's father and son. The plan at the time was that Li Yuan lacked the tools to attack the city, so he brought his eldest son to show weakness at the east gate and lure Song Laosheng to fight away from the city wall.The second son lay in ambush on the high ground outside the south gate, and when Song Laosheng fell for it, he rushed over, appeared behind Song Laosheng, and flanked him with his father and brother back and forth.Kill Song Laosheng outside the city before conquering Huoyi.

"Old students can't get in, people in the city lead them with ropes, and old students climb the rope to go up to Zhangyu." "Zi Zhi Tong Jian Sui Ji Eight", when Li Shimin performed such an ambush mission, he actually failed.Song Laosheng broke through Li Shimin's siege and climbed onto the city wall.

In "Old Tang Book·Liu Hongji Biography": "The old man led the crowd outside the city, Hongji attacked him from Emperor Taizong, the old man was defeated, abandoned his horse and threw himself into a ditch, Hongji beheaded his head, and worshiped Dr. You Guanglu."

Pei Ji knows Li Shimin's ability, his greatest ability is to mess up the best situation.

Pei Ji said anxiously: "Your Majesty, we must organize an army as soon as possible to rescue His Highness Qin Jun!"

Li Yuan pondered.There was no immediate answer.

In fact, he also had a headache. The key point was that although there was an army in Guanzhong, the army could not fly. Guanzhong was more than a thousand miles away from the east of the river, and there was a Yellow River across it.

Not only are Li Yuan and Pei Ji not optimistic about Li Shimin, but even Li Jiancheng and Li Xiuning are not optimistic about Li Shimin.

Even Jieli Khan, who is far outside the city of Dingxiang, is also not optimistic about Li Shimin.

He believes that Li Shimin should be a dish on his plate, and he can easily grab it.In order to capture Li Shimin alive and quickly end the battle, Jieli Khan issued the Khan Golden Arrow Order, ordering all the Eastern Turkic ministries to reward Li Shimin with a thousand horses and special service! "

However, Jieli Khan didn't know that this time he was really wrong!

PS: I recommend a book "Carrying an AK into Daming", a fellow countryman's book, you should be able to tell from the title of the book that this is a passionate article!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

When he returned to Dingxiang City again, Hou Junji had already turned into a blood man.Li Shimin personally washed the blood off Hou Junji's body with water.

Pots of cold water were poured on Hou Junji's body, and Hou Junji was trembling and shouted loudly, "Happy!"

Li Shimin seemed to be looking at the crumbling Dingxiang City casually, and asked, "How much damage has been caused by the battle!"

Hou Junji stretched out a finger.

"Ten thousand!" Li Shimin tried to ask, as the commander of the assault, the blood on Hou Junji's body was washed with seven basins of water, and the blood on his body was still bright red at this time.Li Shimin can easily imagine how fierce the battle is from seeing the whole leopard from a glimpse.

Hou Junji shook his head: "No!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was the first to breathe a sigh of relief. Hou Junji led [-] black armored cavalry out of the city to fight for an hour. As long as there are no casualties, he still has the strength to defend Dingxiang City.Li Shimin was overjoyed and said, "One thousand battle losses!"

This is a rare accident. With [-] mysterious armored cavalry, against Jieli Khan's three major leaf guards and ten Khans, more than [-] Turkic strong soldiers fought, and regardless of the outcome, he was able to retreat completely. Enough to look down on the world.

"100 people!" Hou Junji suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and laughed loudly: "His Royal Highness, you didn't see that I am a black armored cavalry, and everyone is enough to stop ten!"

"Wait first!" Changsun Wuji hurriedly rushed out of the courtyard, watching from the street those mysterious armored cavalry who had not disbanded yet.Who would have thought that Changsun Wuji, a super fat man weighing more than 200 catties, would be as light as a swallow.

After a while, Changsun Wuji returned to the courtyard ecstatically, laughed loudly and said, "I knew it, I knew it..."

In fact, Xuanjia Iron Cavalry was only able to become an army because Li Shimin put too much money into it. The more than [-] war horses were all tall Xiji horses from West Turks, not East Turk war horses that were as short as donkeys. , These Xiji horses are said to be the blood of Dawan horses and Dashi horses.

Not only tall and mighty, but also has amazing endurance.Of the [-] Western Turkic war horses seized by Chen Ying in Liangzhou last year, [-] of them were used by Li Shimin as new horses for Xuanjia cavalry.

In order to obtain these war horses, Li Shimin can be said to have worked very hard.Not only did he make full use of Li Yuan's intergenerational psychology, but he also took Li Chengqian, who had just learned how to babble, to bribe Li Yuan.At the same time, Li Shimin and the Changsun family gave away too many benefits in order to make the ministers of the court not object.

Including Changsun's tea-horse road trade route in central Shu, this can almost be said to be the most valued business of Changsun's, which can bring Changsun's income of [-] guan every year.It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a golden rooster that can lay eggs.

However, for Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji knelt in front of Changsun Shunde and begged for a full two nights and a day. Finally, Li Shimin came forward and tried to ensure that Changsun Shunde's son became the captain-in-law, which moved Changsun Shunde to let go.

As for the armor of the mysterious armored cavalry, in order to gain Li Xiuning's support, the grandson Wugou took care of it meticulously during Li Xiuning's pregnancy.It can be said that in order to obtain and rebuild the Xuanjia cavalry army, Li Shimin was not only shameless, but also played the emotional card, even the eldest grandson Wugou also ran for it with a big belly.

Fortunately, hard work always pays off.Li Shimin got his wish and got the high manganese steel quota.The Xuanjia iron cavalry equipped with high manganese steel, everyone wears bright armor weighing 38 catties, all the horses carry horse armor weighing 44 catties, and there is a saber about five feet four inches long with serrated teeth on the back of the knife .

Li Shimin won the first battle of the Xuanjia iron cavalry and won the first battle.Tears finally burst out of laughter: "Everyone laughs at me, Li Shimin, for not being able to control myself. They think that I'm going to kill myself by leading [-] Xuanjia cavalry in Dingxiang. I must let the world see that I, Li Shimin, are definitely not in vain!"

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin quite speechlessly, in fact he really didn't know what to say.Li Shimin had failed too many times. In the battle of Huoyi, Li Shimin missed the opportunity to ambush Song Laosheng. If Song Laosheng was allowed to climb the city wall, it is estimated that Li Yuan would have no chance to enter Guanzhong.Fortunately, God bless the Tang Dynasty, Song Laosheng was beheaded by Lu Jun'er (Liu Hongji is the deputy commander of the left, Li Jiancheng's deputy, and Li Shimin is the commander of the right).You must know that Song Laosheng had climbed more than a foot off the ground at that time. If it weren't for Lu Jun'er's amazing jumping ability, the consequences would have been disastrous.Song Laosheng will definitely not be as incompetent as in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. On the contrary, he is very powerful. With [-] weak soldiers, a small city in Huoyi, he blocked Li Tang's entire army from attacking, and prevented Li Tang's army from being able to advance an inch for four months. It shows that he is not a weak person. .

What's more, Li Shimin was directly responsible for the defeat in Qianshuiyuan (he was whitewashed in history, and Liu Wenjing took the blame), and of course there was the battle of Luoyang. If Chen Ying hadn't turned things around, Li Shimin might have been a pile of loess.In fact, Qianshui Plateau was defeated. In history, Li Shimin also implicated Li Jiancheng. At that time, Li Jiancheng was leading the "Old Tang Book Gaozu Benji": Wan, the eastern capital." Because of Li Shimin's failure, Li Jiancheng had to lead back to aid Chang'an.

Li Shimin has experienced too many failures, no matter how good the cards are, if they fall into his hands, they will often make a mess.

Even if Hou Junji led [-] Xuanjia iron cavalry and fought a battle with the Turkic army, with less than a hundred casualties, he beheaded more than [-] people and injured more than [-].

However, Jieli Khan didn't take it seriously.He and the important ministers of the Eastern Turkic Khanate believed that it was Li Shimin's general Hou Junji who was brave, but no matter how brave he was, he was finally alone.

Jieli Khan still listed Hou Junji as an important opponent, but only ignored Li Shimin.

On the fourth day of October in the fourth year of Wude, Li Shimin is now an officer above the rank of lieutenant in the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.There are more than [-] captains, deputy captains, and captain Zhechong.

Li Shimin stood on the platform and shouted: "The Turkic people have already been killed. This king is going to fight the Turkic people. If any of you are afraid of death, stay in the city. Men who are not afraid of death, follow the king to fight the Turkic people." Desperate!"

Although the Xuanjia Cavalry is a new army, the more than [-] people are all Li Shimin's old lineages. They followed Li Shimin in Luoyang and were surrounded by Wang Shichong, and the entire army was almost wiped out.Of the more than [-] elite black-armored cavalry, only these [-] or so non-disabled old men remained.

These people are not afraid of death, let alone leave Li Shimin.Of course, the most important thing is that Li Shimin used a small price to build up the self-confidence of the black armor cavalry.

Victory is not only a result, sometimes it is an experience, or a strong psychological suggestion.A team that has fought a tough battle and won it is very different from a team that has not.After Hou Junji led the field battle with the Turkic people outside Dingxiang City, they all felt that the Turkic people were mediocre, and suddenly they were full of confidence.
