Wang Junkuo's 10,000 cavalry was ambushed by the Sui army in the jungle fifteen miles northwest of Yique Pass, and was caught off guard and defeated, annihilating more than 6,000 people. Wang Junkuo led the rest of the troops to continue to evacuate to the south, and was chased and killed along the way, and in desperation, he urgently sent people to Li Daozong of Yique Pass for help.

Although Li Daozong of Yique Pass could not see the battlefield, his scouts urgently sent this information back.

A partial general hung a few arrows, covered in blood and begged Li Daozong: "Your Highness, General Wang was besieged by tens of thousands of Sui troops, and now he has suffered heavy casualties and is in danger, I implore Your Highness to rescue!" ”

"Deng Bao, what's going on?" Li Daozong asked urgently, he recognized this person, it was Wang Junkuo's lieutenant general.

"General Wang was ordered by the King of Jin to lead 10,000 elite horsemen to help His Highness... Who would have thought that he would be ambushed by Luo Shixin..."Deng Bao quickly said the matter.

Li Daozong listened, met Deng Bao's pleading gaze, sighed slightly, and asked, "How many people are there in the Sui army?" ”

"I can't see how many people there are on the other side, but judging from the army of the other party, there are 30,000 or 40,000 people."

"Thirty thousand?" If it is 30,000 people, it means that Luo Shixin has dispatched one-fifth of his troops, and Yingyang City and Pengbo City, where Luo Shixin is located, are also the top priorities, so it is already the limit of Luo Shixin's available army.

"Just more, no less." Deng Bao hurriedly said: "He is reckless in his humble position, but he also knows His Highness's worries, but the last general asks the general to answer my general." ”

Li Daozong stared at the majestic undulating mountains and rivers in the distance, and the Yishui in the distance flowed away like a jade belt flowing from here, he took a deep breath and said, "In this case, I will go here to meet this Luo Shixin for a while." ”

Li Daozong confessed, personally led 20,000 soldiers to the battlefield to kill, and after marching five miles, he met Wang Junkuo, who was wearing a cloak.

"Your Highness, get out of here, it's a trap. Luo Shixin never showed up...... It's not his style. ”

When he saw Li Daozong in the crowd, he already understood that Luo Shixin was likely to have a trap against Li Daozong or Yique Pass, and said hurriedly: "I'll leave here quickly." ”

Li Daozong's face was pale, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly turned the horse's head.

Just when the front team of the Tang Army became the rear team, and the back team became the front team. I only heard a bang, and suddenly ten thousand arrows were fired in the jungle, and the arrows were like a storm, shooting towards the Tang army that was turning around. The sudden attack caused a great confusion in the Tang army, and a large group of black shadows, as many as 10,000 people, suddenly appeared a hundred paces away, holding hard crossbows in their hands, and firing out a crossbow arrow that took people's lives in the form of three shots.

The terrible screams resounded through the heavens and the earth, and in the first round of arrows, more than 1,000 people of the Tang army fell, and the blood stained the earth.

Soon, a thousand arrows were fired in the second round, and the Tang army was so frightened that they rushed to flee for their lives.

The rain of dense arrows continued continuously, shooting strongly towards the dense Tang army, and suddenly screams were everywhere, and a large number of Tang troops were shot down by arrows, like a violent wind sweeping, and there were no more soldiers standing within a hundred steps.

Wang Junkuo was shot in the right shoulder by an arrow and fell from his horse. But the injury to his right shoulder did not affect the speed on his leg, and the roar covered Li Daozong like thunder, and hundreds of Tang soldiers escorted the two to rush forward to kill

At this moment, the ground began to shake under his feet, and the sound of thunder and horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and some soldiers shouted: "The Sui cavalry is coming!" ”

Li Daozong looked back, only to see that an overwhelming cavalry appeared in the rear, the war horses galloped, the swords and guns were like a forest, like a dark color frenzy, and the monstrous murderous aura was like a shock wave on the flat ground, sweeping towards the Tang army.

The soldiers of the Tang Army were stunned, and Li Daozong was also stunned, and suddenly, he reacted and shouted loudly: "Line up, prepare to fight!" ”

The cold killing machine made the world lose color, there was a strong crossbow army ambush in front, and there was a cavalry with sweeping everything in the back, the Jingxiang Tang army, which had never seen such a powerful cavalry, was intimidated by the power of the elite cavalry, and there was chaos in Kaima.

Li Daozong hissed and shouted: "Line up!" Lined up! ”

But no one listened to his orders, and a sense of fear was now in the hearts of every soldier, and they threw away their armor and routed along the perimeter without their lives, hundreds of paces were only a moment for the cavalry, and tens of thousands of cavalry wielded their swords and killed, and the fierceness was abnormal, and some of the soldiers who fled slowly were slashed and screamed by the cavalry, and the cavalry swallowed up the defeated army piece by piece like a whirlwind.

Hundreds of steps to the south, Luo Shixin, the chief general of the Sui army, ordered: "The left and right cavalry attack!" Divide the two armies. ”

"Whoa!" The flag officer used the flag to wave the flag of the attack.

A cavalry of 5,000 men on the left and right slashed from the oblique spur, like a dagger, and slammed into the ranks of the Tang army. Accurately cut the Tang army into three.

A roar sounded, and under Luo Shixin's gaze, the two cavalry made a gap in the mother's army, and the gap tended to expand, and by the time the Tang army reacted and was ready to counterattack, the two had already killed from the other direction.

The two of them each took a shuttle, staggered back and forth among the Tang army, and cut the Tang army's 'one' formation into a mess, only killing the corpses of the enemy soldiers around them, flesh and blood flying, and the air was filled with red mist

The defenders of Yique Pass saw the movement in the city and did not dare not save it, but this kind of refueling tactic was exactly what Luo Shixin intended, and as soon as the enemy army closed the city, they let another 10,000 slave soldiers meet the battle.

Over time, the Tang army's subordinates were gradually killed and scattered, and most of them surrendered on their knees.

Luo Shixin saw that the battlefield was already under control, he shouted, led five hundred guards into the recalcitrant crowd, and then shook out a spear flower, spears flew like divine lightning, and in an instant four or five people were stabbed to the ground by him, Tang Jun saw that he was extremely brave, they were all frightened and shouted, turned around and ran.

Luo Shixin was like a tiger into a pack of wolves, and the more he fought, the more courageous he became, and more than forty people had died under his spear.

Wang Junkuo let out a thunderclap-like roar: "Luo Shixin, take your life!" ”

The big knife in his hand slashed at Luo Shixin head-on, and Luo Shixin swung the big gun in his hand and swung away at the oncoming weapon.

Just listen to 'When!' With a loud bang, the big knife was slashing at the barrel of Luo Shixin's gun, and the big knife flew out along the barrel of the gun.

Although Wang Junkuo was brave, he had an arrow wound on his shoulder, and the violent impact caused his wound to burst.

The pain was so intense that he threw his weapon out of his hands, and he fell to the ground, curled up in pain.

Luo Shixin's personal soldiers swarmed up and slashed with a knife, and Luo Shixin shouted: "Hugh hurt his life!" ”

The soldiers held him down and tied him firmly, and the pain was so severe that Wang Junkuo fainted.

"The enemy general is rampant, eat me!"

Li Daozong waved his horse lance and stabbed Luo Shixin in the chest, the blade was fierce, and Luo Shixin roared: "Good come!" ”

The body flashed to the side, dodging this lance, the spear swept, the roar was like a thunderbolt, the barrel of the gun was like thunder, and Li Daozong was swept off the horse with one shot. Let people capture it alive.

He killed at Yique Pass, pointed the iron spear at Ming, and shouted at the hundreds of enemy troops at the head of the city: "I am the Great Sui Luo Shixin, if you don't surrender, when will you wait?" ”

The Tang army at the head of the city was already stunned by the killing, and seeing the rout of the whole army, hundreds of soldiers went down to the city to surrender, "We are willing to surrender to the Great Sui!" ”

Yique Pass, this Central Plains Xiongguan fell into the hands of the Sui army......

……

At the same time as Luo Shixin launched a big war.

Wang Shichong also got accurate information, Li Shimin was in the camp of Bishan, the Tang army's barrier had not yet been built, and there were only 20,000 troops in the barracks, and he felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He led an army of 50,000 to launch a fierce attack on the Tang army camp.

At the same time, Li Shimin arranged 5,000 crossbowmen in the camp, and lined up 10,000 Red Armor troops at the foot of Beibi Mountain, and sent Zhai Changsun to lead 5,000 cavalry to attack Wang Shichong's rear army.

The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the Zheng army frantically attacked the Tang camp, encountering the stubborn resistance of the bow and crossbow army and the continuous attack of the Tang cavalry on both sides, only to kill corpses all over the field, but Wang Shichong was iron-hearted, and he had to take the Tang army camp regardless of the heavy casualties, just because he had seen Li Shimin in the barracks.

The Zheng army paid the price of thousands of deaths, and finally tore open a gap and rushed into the Tang camp, at this moment, 10,000 cavalry led by Chai Shao and Hou Junji suddenly killed, they slashed with swords, spears stabbed, and Wang Shichong's most elite Jianghuai army launched a fierce bloody battle outside the camp.

This time, under the personal leadership of Wang Shichong, the Zheng army did not have the chaos of the previous three times at all, they advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, fought bravely, and attacked sharply. They took the lead in defeating Chai Shao's 5,000 cavalry, forcing Zhai Changsun to give up the attack on the rear army and lead 5,000 cavalry to replace Chai Shao's defeated army.

The casualties on both sides continued to increase, but due to the disparity in strength, Li Shimin's army gradually could not resist, and the army was scattered one after another, and Li Shimin only had dozens of cavalry led by the general Qiu Xinggong to accompany him.

More than 100 Zheng cavalry chased closely, Li Shimin's personal soldiers fought less and less, only the general Qiu Xinggong was left, Li Shimin's mount was also killed by an arrow, Qiu Xinggong dismounted and shot dozens of people, the arrow was not missed, and the pursuers retreated in panic.

Qiu Xinggong gave his war horse to Li Shimin, he fought on foot and killed more than a dozen people, at the most critical juncture, there was a passionate horn sound in the distance, the main force of the Tang army had been killed back at this time, a large number of Tang troops were overwhelming, and the momentum joined the battlefield, Wang Shichong saw that the Zheng army could not win for a while, so he had to order the withdrawal of the army with hatred.

The Tang army pursued all the way to the city of Luoyang, killing corpses all over the field, the enemy and us were all killed and wounded in this battle, the Tang army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and 5,000 soldiers in the garrison were killed to the point that there was no one left; The Zheng army, which followed Wang Shichong back to the city, only had more than 20,000 people left, and most of the main force was lost in this battle.

Li Shimin immediately ordered to surround Luoyang City, led the Tang army to attack the city day and night, Wang Shichong led the army to resist desperately, and the head of Luoyang City changed hands several times, and it was in danger.
