Tang Dynasty

After deciding to attack the city, Li Yuan ordered a large number of troops from the rear.When Pei Ji arrived with his troops, the vanguard army was already ready to go.As a result, the two groups of people merged into one, totaling more than [-] people. Li Yuan ordered Li Shimin to be the forward, and he himself was in charge of the central army.

At dawn, the army approached the city.Li Shimin was dressed in Xuanjia, with the corners of his robe fluttering. He sat on a horse with a long halberd in his hand.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the Chang'an City Gate not far away.Outside the gate, the Sui army had already lined up, judging by the number of them, they should have come out in full force.

Seeing this situation, he raised the corners of his mouth indistinctly.That being the case, as long as these people are killed, Chang'an is in the bag.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin turned to look at Li Yuan.After an exchange of glances, Li Yuan understood, nodded slightly to him, and said only two words - "Go." If he was a little worried that he was not stable enough this time when he was a newborn calf, then since the Taiyuan uprising, the other party In the big victories that showed their sharpness again and again, they have gradually won enough trust from Li Yuan.

I believe it would be a wise move to hand him over for the last battle.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and smiled, turned around, immediately raised the halberd in his hand, and said loudly: "The former army obeys the order, follow me into battle!"

After the order was given, the people behind him immediately started to follow Li Shimin.The well-trained soldiers are now walking in uniform steps, and every time they step on the ground, there is a roar of thunder.

Li Shimin took the lead, with a solemn and calm expression.When he was less than [-] meters away from the Sui army, he raised his hand, and the people and horses behind him stopped walking, and the neat footsteps stopped abruptly.

Li Shimin lifted the reins of the horse, rode the horse forward, and said, "Where is the general of the Sui army?"

"Huh!" The voice was loose, and he heard a sneer from the other party, and then one of them stepped forward and said, "I have been waiting here for a long time, but the old thief Li Yuan has waited so long. I don't want that old thief to send only a yellow-haired boy at this time." Come to call for battle, could it be that you are hiding and dare not come out?" This person is one of Chang'an's guards, General Zuo Yiwei Yin Shishi.When he finished speaking, the soldiers behind him laughed in a timely manner.

Li Shimin was slightly angry, but he also knew that the other party's actions were intended to provoke him.On the battlefield, the battle has not yet started, so there is no way to lose ground.Because of this, his face darkened, and he said word by word: "I don't need father to step in, but Li Shimin alone is enough to kill you!"

However, Shishi Yin seemed to have never heard of it, and only pretended to look around, pretending to be surprised, and said: "The head of the Li family, have they really become shrinking turtles? Then the eldest son Li Jiancheng is not here at this time. Attacking the city, you will only do some shady deeds behind others, but you are born to harm others!"

Yin Shishi was originally a veteran who had fought for many years, seeing that Li Shimin was just a young man, he didn't take him seriously at all.In addition, because of Li Jiancheng's plan to alienate, he killed Wei Xuan in the city to suppress his subordinates a few days ago, it really took a lot of trouble, so now he only cares about ridiculing the instigator.

However, what he didn't notice was that while he was speaking, Li Shimin's five fingers holding the halberd began to tighten little by little.He also didn't understand that if he wanted to ridicule Li Jiancheng, he absolutely couldn't do it in front of one person.

So when he finished speaking, he saw that Li Shimin was already holding a horizontal halberd in his hand, and rushed over on his horse.Yin Shishi didn't expect that the word "Li Family" would be so imposing, he hurriedly said to both sides: "Who is willing to fight?"

A general clasped his hands and said: "The last general is willing to go!" After saying that, he raised his spear and rushed out.

Seeing the man coming with a gun, Li Shimin dismounted and ran towards the enemy at the same speed.Seeing this, the enemy general also speeded up his horse, held his gun in his hand, and went straight to Li Shimin's chest.

However, seeing the moment when the two were about to touch each other, Li Shimin suddenly leaned back, barely avoiding the spear that was stabbing towards him.He was startled, but when he hastily withdrew the attack in his hand and turned around, the halberd in Li Shimin's hand had already passed through his chest.

He turned to look at him, with disbelief clearly in his eyes, but he couldn't say a word after all, and the moment Li Shimin pulled out his halberd, he fell off his horse.

Li Shimin looked stern, and walked a few steps around the corpse with the bridle in hand, then looked up at the Sui army camp.Then he raised his hand and shouted: "The whole army is attacking!"

The victory of the main general is undoubtedly the best encouragement to the momentum of the army.As soon as he gave an order, the people behind rushed out immediately, like a mountain torrent erupting, out of control.

But Li Shimin himself took the lead and went straight to Yin Shishi with his halberd in hand.

At this time, Yin Shishi had some unexpected admiration for this young man, but he was not flustered. When he saw the men and horses approaching, he turned his head and signaled to the general beside him.The general turned around and shouted to the tower behind him: "Shoot the arrow!"

As soon as the words fell, countless archers suddenly appeared on the tower that had only a few guards.The clusters of arrows fell like rain, blocking the approach of Li Shimin's troops in an instant.

Seeing that many of the opponent's horses fell down among the arrow clusters, Yin Shishi smiled with satisfaction, thinking that he should be able to hold them back for a while.

He raised his eyes across the battlefield and looked into the distance, but he didn't know in his heart whether the bones had fulfilled his mission.

However, at this moment when he was slightly distracted, he heard the soldiers around him shouting: "General, it's not good!" He wanted to speak, but saw a man fall from the top of his head and hit the ground hard, his throat slammed Inserted an arrow cluster.

"What's going on?" He raised his head and went to the city to surf the net, but saw that it was not the arrow clusters that fell like rain, but the archers at the top of the city.

When he understood something, he turned his eyes to look at both sides of the city gate, but saw countless archers ambushed in the forest.They were constantly shooting arrows towards the city, and when a group of people shot arrows, they immediately retreated, and the people behind immediately made up for it and released arrows in unison.As a result, the arrow clusters shot towards the city head densely, as if they never stopped.

"General! Li Yuan's men and horses have already ambushed on both sides of the city gate at some point!" At this time, a general rushed forward panting, paused, and lowered his voice, "General... what should we do at this time?" how?"

Yin Shishi saw that the number of arrows released from the top of the city was getting less and less, and Li Shimin's men had already killed them again, he slowly sank his face, and said: "No matter what, we must hold them... Immediately send an order, the whole army will fight !"

Li Yuan stood not far away, watching the two parties fighting together in the plain.Li Shimin rushed to the front, leading the men and horses behind him to charge left and right in the enemy's formation like sharp knives, with murderous aura in every gesture.

This kid is really a natural born general.Li Yuan thought with some relief.

However, at this moment, "Report--" a small schoolboy came from afar with a long ending, and when he arrived in front of Li Yuan, he turned over and almost fell off his horse.

Li Yuan saw that his whole body was burnt, his heart tightened, and he said immediately: "Why are you panicking?"

"Hui, Hui Guo Gong," the little school said in a hurry, "the camp at the rear... is on fire!"

"What did you say?!" Li Yuan was shocked, and immediately looked east.From a distance, after seeing the mountain shape, it seemed that there were bursts of thick smoke.

Seeing this, Pei Ji immediately reminded: "Duke, if we withdraw our army at this time, we will lose all our achievements!"

"What Pei Jian said... how come I don't know." Li Yuan nodded with difficulty, pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered a general, "Send 2000 people to the rescue immediately! There must be no mistakes!"

I knew that the other party had resorted to this strategy of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot when his army was overwhelming and the rear was empty for a while.Food and grass are the foundation of the march. If the food and grass are lost, it will disrupt the morale of the army for a while, and it will force the army to retreat to Taiyuan.

However, at this time, Li Yuan had to make the worst plan: if he retreated at this time, he might not only fail to save food and grass, but also lose the opportunity.Let's not be weak and attack Chang'an in one go, and enter the city, the siege of food and grass will be resolved by itself.

So he raised his eyes and looked at Li Shimin who was fighting hard on the battlefield, then turned his head and added another sentence to the general: "This matter needs to be suppressed for the time being, and no one else should know about it, it will disturb the morale of the army."

----

The moment the halberd pierced through his chest, Yin Shishi widened his eyes and looked at the young general in front of him.It seems that he still can't understand how this person jumped over many obstacles and rushed forward, and how he found his own loophole after resisting several moves.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, let go of his hand, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang", setting off waves of yellow dust.However, at the last moment when he was about to lose consciousness, he raised his eyes and looked east past Li Shimin.

The next moment, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Shimin pulled out the halberd in his hand amidst the exclamation behind him.However, Yin Shishi kept the smile on his face, fell down with his strength, and did not say a word until his death.

Li Shimin hesitated for a while, and turned around amidst the shouts of killing all over the sky.

After the entire battlefield, billowing thick smoke billowed at the end of the mountains, and a haze of gray and black had already gathered on the sky far away.

There... is the east... is the rear camp... is where the big brother is...

Li Shimin stood there in a daze, slowly trying to regain his thoughts.However, he found that he was clearly in this dangerous battlefield, but his mind... was actually blank.

"Second Young Master, be careful!" It wasn't until a sudden exclamation sounded from behind that he was brought back to reality.Li Shimin followed his reputation and saw a Sui army fell down in front of him. It seemed that he realized that even though the main general was dead, the rest of the Sui army was still stubbornly resisting.

The smoke of gunpowder has not yet stopped; the war is still going on.

"Second Young Master, are you still alright?" The lieutenant general who came to rescue rushed to the front, then blocked from left to right, and waved away several Sui soldiers.

Li Shimin saw that the man was one of his generals, named Li Jing.He gathered himself together, and suddenly said: "The people and horses here have all the powers to you, and there must be no mistakes!"

Li Jing was startled when he heard the words, but before he could speak, Li Shimin stepped forward to flatter his horse, and rushed out, actually...running in the opposite direction.

Li Yuangao sat on the horse, watching the battle situation not far away.Seeing Li Shimin beheading Yin Shishi under his horse, he was overjoyed and immediately called out "OK".However, he didn't expect that at the next moment, Li Shimin broke out of the encirclement and ran towards him.

"Shimin, the army is fighting fiercely, why did you retreat halfway?" Seeing the opponent approaching, Li Yuan's face darkened, and his tone was full of reproach.

Li Shimin sat on the horse, clasped his fists at Li Yuan, and did not answer, but only asked: "Father, what happened in the rear camp?"

Li Yuan's expression was slightly stagnant, noncommittal, and he said: "For the people of the world, there is no need to worry about it. At this time, the siege of the city is the priority. Other matters, there is no need to worry about it."

However, the momentary hesitation before Li Yuan spoke, Li Shimin had already seen it all.At this moment, his heart was as clear as a mirror, and he said, "Father, did the Sui army set fire to the camp?"

Li Yuan knew that he could no longer hide it now, so he nodded very slowly.

Li Shimin's heart sank, and he immediately asked, "Do you know how the elder brother is doing?"

"I have sent thousands of people to rescue," Li Yuan paused, then sighed, "...but, there is no news yet."

"Father!" Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "The enemy's main general is dead, and the rest of the defeated generals are just lingering. The vanguard Ma Shimin has been handed over to Li Jing. At this time, I just beg my father to go into battle and launch the final offensive!" Clasping fists hard at Li Yuan, he couldn't wait to raise his long whip, beat his horse and galloped away.

But it is more towards the east direction.

"Li Shimin, stop!" Seeing that he left the army hastily, Li Yuan was furious and shouted.However, Li Shimin's response was only galloping horseshoes, raising waves of yellow dust.

"Duke, please calm down," Pei Ji hurriedly persuaded upon seeing this, "Second Young Master is so eager to go east, I'm afraid he is going to save the prince. The two of them have a deep brotherly relationship. For the Duke, it should be a happy event."

Li Yuan was still angry, and asked back: "Brothers are deeply in love, so can you ignore the situation of war?"

"Second Young Master has already beheaded the enemy general, and the vanguard has already been delivered. At this time, he even proposed the strategy of letting the Duke attack the city. It shows that he did not go hastily, but actually has a trick in his mind." Pei Ji calmly persuaded, " Furthermore, the Second Young Master is determined to return home and has no intention of fighting, so if the Duke force him to stay here, it may not be beneficial."

Li Yuan knew that what Pei Ji said was just some seemingly reasonable fallacies, but he couldn't find any mistakes.He sighed, looked at the two armies fighting in the distance, and finally drew out the sword at his waist, raised it high, and raised his voice to the soldiers behind him: "Send the order, all horses, attack the city!"
