Li Mi and Wang Shichong fought dozens of battles, you come and go with each other's victories and defeats, Li Mi gave Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, these fierce generals thousands of soldiers to command, let them fight separately, but no one listened to anyone's command, did not help each other, and fought in vain.

Li Shimin expanded the pro-military camp to 1,000 people, and called Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Wei Chi Jingde, and Zhai Changsun to lead them respectively, one person and 250 people, all of whom listened to his Li Shimin's orders, of course, when Li Shimin charged out, it was still a red whisk girl in his armor. Li Shimin ordered people to make special black clothes, black armor, and black horses, this all-black rapid strike force is invincible, and the enemy will be terrified as long as he sees the black shadow in the future.

Wang Shichong's Zheng Guopuzhou surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Luo Shixin conquered Kip Stone Fort and Qianjin Fort, Rongzhou, Yangzhou, and Bianzhou surrendered, Tang general Li Daliang conquered Fancheng, Fuzhou, Huazhou, Zhengguo, Xuzhou, Haozhou and other eleven states surrendered, Suizhou and Liangzhou surrendered, Wang Shichong finally couldn't help but lead his troops out of the city to sneak attack Dou Rail and Qu Tutong who patrolled the position, and were caught by the Black Armor Army, and were beaten to the ground, leaving more than 6,000 prisoners.

By this time, the situation of the siege had been completed, and Li Shimin sent Yu Wenshi and returned to Chang'an to report to Li Yuan and prepare to besiege Luoyang. If Li Mi had Li Shimin's mind at the beginning, Wang Shichong would have taken Luoyang long ago before he reinforced, and some people in later generations felt sorry for Li Mi, looking at Li Shimin's strategy, Li Mi should be so ashamed that he was ashamed of himself, and he had no regrets at all.

Originally, when Wang Shichong was called emperor, Zheng Guo's territory was bordered by Shandong and Hebei in the east and Dou Jiande, the southeast corner of Shanxi in the north, Xiangfan and Xiao Miao's Liang State in the west, and Jianghuai in the south. It only took Li Shimin half a year, and the soldiers almost did little damage to complete the siege.

Wang Shichong led 20,000 troops out of the city to cover the engineering personnel to build walls and dig trenches to strengthen the protective fortifications in Luoyang, and Li Shimin ordered Qu Tutong to lead 5,000 infantry to cross the valley to attack, and to set off wolf smoke as soon as Qu Tutong came into contact with the enemy.

When the wolf smoke rose, Li Shimin ordered the cavalry to assault, Li Shimin planned to test the depth of Wang Shichong's army, and ordered the black armor army to charge, the red whisk girl wore Li Shimin's armor and took the lead in the cover of dozens of elite cavalry rushed forward, and actually penetrated the Zheng army in one fell swoop, and then killed back from the back of the Zheng army, the red whisk girl killed a lot, but this time the killing was too much, the red whisk girl killed and killed the entourage did not keep up, and when she suddenly realized, there was only Qiu Xinggong beside her.

What's worse is that the Red Whisk Girl's mount was killed by an arrow, the Red Whisk Girl thought that she was afraid that she would die here today, the Zheng Army came to catch Li Shimin, because the Red Whisk Girl was too brave, the approaching Zheng Jun was killed, Zheng Jun switched to using arrows, and the Red Whisk was shot like a hedgehog by arrows all over her body, although Li Shimin's armor was particularly strong, there were still many arrows that penetrated into the armor, and the Red Whisk Girl's body continued to bleed.

At this critical juncture, Qiu Xinggong gave up his horse to the Red Whisk Girl, and then desperately guarded the Red Whisk Girl with a long knife in his hand, and the Red Whisk Girl got a precious space to fire her big feather arrows one after another, and shot the Zheng Army archers who had been shooting her to death one by one, and finally held on until the cavalry of the guards arrived and brought her out of the encirclement. Back in the army, the red-whisked woman fainted because of excessive bleeding.

Li Shimin deserved to be a hero, and the fierce battle situation did not allow hesitation, Li Shimin immediately ordered someone to take off the armor of the red whisker girl, pull out the enemy arrows on it, and not care about the dirt and wear it on his body, so he turned over and went out of battle. Wang Shichong's army couldn't believe it when he saw that Li Shimin, who had just almost died in battle, was now alive and vigorous, and the Tang army saw that the morale of King Qin was unharmed and the offensive was even more fierce, at this time Zheng Jun had to flee for his life, because they could calmly retreat with their backs to the city wall, leaving 7,000 corpses, Wang Shichong retreated to Luoyang City.

When the Red Whisk Girl woke up, she found that Li Shimin was sitting next to her, and she was holding her hand, Li Shimin saw that the Red Whisk Girl woke up and said to her gently: "General Hua has died nine times, if it weren't for the general, I am afraid I will not be able to escape bad luck today, General Hua has been practicing martial arts for many years, but I didn't expect his hands to be so tender." ”

When the red whisk girl heard this, she was taken aback, and instinctively touched her body with her other hand, ouch, it was too bad, she was wrapped in a wound cloth, and there was no clothes on her body, not to mention that her daughter's body had been exposed. The ashamed Hongxia flew onto the face of the red whisker girl, Li Shimin hurriedly let go, and said a little embarrassed: "General Hua, please be relieved, I have ordered the military doctor and others not to leak it, no one will know this secret." ”

When the Red Whisk Girl was healing, Li Shimin commanded the Tang Army to begin to besiege Luoyang City, Luoyang was the capital of the Northern Dynasties before, coupled with Yang Guang's construction for more than ten years, especially with Yang Xuangan and Li Mi's confrontation, Luoyang's military defense measures can be said to be the most complete in the world at this time, and Wang Shichong has a weapon design expert Cui Hongdan, who designed a terrifying powerful crossbow, and a stone cannon with a range of 200 steps, which can fire 50 catties of large stones, and the Tang army will have heavy casualties when they rush in groups.

As a result, Li Shimin's siege immediately turned into a hellish human flesh mill, and within a few days, Li Shimin's generals couldn't stand it and demanded to stop the attack. Li Shimin's wisdom and wisdom proved that he was the best leader, and Li Shimin told the generals to dig deep trenches around Luoyang City and build long walls; since they could not attack it, then let Wang Shichong's army not get out, and what should we do if the defenders and people in Luoyang City ate, drank, pulled, and scattered? Let the enemy lack food is the only way for Li Shimin to defeat Xue Renguo and Song Jingang, and it is just right to use it to deal with Wang Shichong now.

Shen Yue, the soldier in charge of the ordnance of Wang Shichong's army in the Tiger Prison Pass, secretly sent people to see Xu Shiji to ask for surrender, and the Tang general Wang Junkuo took advantage of the night to raid and take the Tiger Prison Pass with Shen Yueli, and Luoyang finally became a lonely city. At the beginning, Li Mi's strength was several times that of Li Shimin now, and if Li Mi knew and would use Li Shimin's methods, he would have succeeded a long time ago. Completely surrounded by Luoyang City, there are people starving to death every day, Wang Shichong is in danger, can only ask Dou Jiande for help, based on the truth of the cold lips and teeth, Dou Jiande knows that if Wang Shichong perishes, the next one to be attacked by the Tang army is him, so Dou Jiande led more than 100,000 troops to save Wang Shichong urgently.

Dou Jiande's Xia army captured Guanzhou, Xingyang, and Yangzhai of the Tang army, and Dou Jiande entered Chenggao Dongyuan, but the unthinkable happened, Dou Jiande actually set out to build a palace in Banzhu. When Dou Jiande was marching, there were strong soldiers in front and back, left and right, and the baggage and the old and weak were placed in the middle, and the disadvantage was that the advance speed was slow and the adaptability was poor. As soon as he arrived at the front line, he built a palace first, indicating that he could not bear the inconvenience of life on the battlefield, and Li Shimin was dumbfounded when he saw Dou Jiande's performance.

However, there are almost no people who think that Dou Jiande is nothing great like Li Shimin, Li Shimin held a military meeting of generals, only General Guo Xiaoke and Xue Shu, the secretary in charge of the clerk, supported Li Shimin's view, and the others advocated lifting the siege of Luoyang and retreating to a distance to avoid Dou Jiande's edge.

Fortunately, Li Shimin was the prince, and there was a precedent of two big victories over Xue Renguo and Song Jingang, so everyone had no choice but to accept Li Shimin's order and continue to besiege Luoyang. Li Shimin selected 3,500 elite cavalry to enter the Tiger Pass, together with the original defenders of the Tiger Pass, Li Shimin only had 20,000 horses, and Li Shimin wanted to fight against Dou Jiande's more than 100,000 troops, is this the impulse of the young man to storm the tiger Feng He?

No, the decisive point is still food, the Tiger Prison City is strong, and there are few people who don't need to consume too much, compared to the daily expenses of hundreds of thousands of troops, Li Shimin has the certainty of victory. But the war still had to be fought step by step, first of all, Li Shimin brought 500 of the most elite cavalry called Xu Shiji, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao respectively, and ambushed section by section, and he and Wei Chi Jingde and a small number of guards advanced until they were three miles away from the camp of the Xia army.

Encountering the patrol of the Xia army, Li Shimin shouted to the Xia army: "I am Li Shimin, the king of Qin!"

Then he shot the captain who led the team, which angered the Xia army, five or six hundred Xia army cavalry swarmed out, Li Shimin ran and stopped, and turned back from time to time to shoot the pursuers, those who chased close were immediately stabbed to death by Wei Chi Jingde's horse, the Xia army fox did not dare to chase wildly, and the more people gathered, and only after gathering thousands of people and horses did they start to let the horses gallop, at this time they had entered the ambush circle of the Tang army, and were caught off guard, and they did not know how many enemies there were, so they quickly retreated, leaving more than 300 corpses.

Li Shimin did this with a useful intention, because then Li Shimin held the Tiger Prison Pass and did not fight with Dou Jiande for a whole month, during which he constantly sent about 1,000 cavalry troops to harass Dou Jiande's logistics supplies, because he was afraid of the Xia army on the first day, the Xia army did not dare to pursue the Tang army's guerrillas if there were few people, and if there were too many people, he could not run fast and could not catch up with the Tang army's guerrillas.

Just when Dou Jiande was worried, Jiu Ling Jing, the priest of the Xia Kingdom, suggested to Dou Jiande that the whole army of the Xia army crossed the Taihang Mountain, entered the Shangdang to capture Fenzhou and Jinzhou, took Puhan, and peeked into Guanzhong, so that Li Shimin had to give up Luoyang to return to the army to rescue.

Ling Jing believed that the Tang army was besieging Luoyang, and there were no strong troops stationed in Shanxi, and if the army entered a no-man's land, victory was within reach; the territory was expanded, and the territory of the Xia Kingdom was greatly increased; Guanzhong was shaken, and Luoyang naturally lifted the siege. Unexpectedly, as soon as this theory came out, all the generals scolded it.

This strategy is very clever, yes, but it needs a general like Han Xin to execute, Xia Guo does not have such a character, if Dou Jiande wants to lead the army personally, the mountain roads in Shanxi are rugged and bumpy, not to mention that Dou Jiande can't stand it, galloping on the sheep intestine path is Li Shimin's strength, fighting Song Jingang is an example, as long as he leads 30,000 elite cavalry, Li Shimin can catch up with the Xia army that entered Shanxi in three days, and he will be able to fight the fart.

Ling Jing insisted on this idea of encircling Zhao to save Wei, Dou Jiande refused Ling Jing on the grounds that he had faith in Wang Shichong and could not see death without saving him, Ling Jing refused to give up and continued to make noise, Dou Jiande was furious and asked someone to take Ling Jing out of the tent. Later generations have many regrets for Dou Jiande, saying that if Dou Jiande accepts Ling Jing's strategy, history will be rewritten, but if Dou Jiande really enters Shanxi, I am afraid that he will not even be able to get out of the party, and he will still be captured on the bank of the Zhangshui River.

In fact, when Li Shimin began to lay out the siege of Luoyang, he had already sent the general Liu Dewei to the east of Hanoi to guard the Taihang Mountain to monitor Dou Jiande's movements, even if Dou Jiande transferred to Shanxi, Li Shimin would not relieve the siege of Luoyang.

At this time, he himself took a small number of troops to confront Dou Jiande in the Tiger Prison, and had no intention of mobilizing the army besieging Luoyang, as for the battle that would come sooner or later, Li Shimin had already planned, those who had been defeated by Dou Jiande or heard of Dou Jiande's great achievements and were afraid of Dou Jiande's generals and soldiers He dared to use it, Li Shimin called Dou Rail and Yu Wenshi and requisitioned 30,000 troops from Bashu, these soldiers did not know who Dou Jiande was, they quietly entered the Tiger Prison one after another in batches, and before the start of the battle, Li Shimin's army reached 50,000 soldiers。
