At this time, I saw that the Zhou army who had already rushed up dodged a way, and slowly pushed up a series of siege equipment from behind them, among which there were trebuchets, crashes, and crossbows.

"Ahh The Zhou army actually had large siege equipment such as trebuchets, crashes, and repeaters? How was it useless when they broke through the blockade before? Chen Dangshi, the commander of the Jianghuai army at the gate, was so frightened that he knew that the tent that his army had temporarily set up would never be able to stop the bombardment of these siege equipment.

"Quick! Send someone to inform the second duke! I don't know where the Zhou army came out of nowhere, it has used a large number of siege equipment, and our battalion can't hold it. There aren't many people who seem to be there. ”

Chen Dangshi also has some insight, knowing that in this case, defending to the death is equivalent to sending him to death, as long as he uses the strength advantage of his army to fight a field battle with the enemy, he may be able to defeat the enemy.

So, he hurriedly sent his deputy to inform Du Yu.

However, how did he know that Du Yu had already taken care of himself at this time, and where would he have the time to command the army to fight.

It didn't take long for the thick gate of the Jianghuai army camp to fall down by the crashing car, and a large number of Zhou troops rushed in, and there were many Zhou soldiers who were also wearing Jianghuai army clothes and armor, and mixed into the crowd of Jianghuai army.

At this time, Li Jing also led the 10,000 Zhou troops who were surrounded to break through. Originally, the blockade line was not easy to break through, but now most of the Jianghuai army has arrived at the front of the camp to resist the attack of Yuming's army. The number of people defending Li Jing's army has dropped by more than eighty percent compared with before. In addition, the Jianghuai army was in a mess when there were no dragons, where could it resist the Zhou army, which had long been holding its breath and was like a tiger descending from the mountain...... Under the internal and external attacks of the two armies of Yuming and Li Jing, the defeat of the Jianghuai army gradually became a success.

A moment later, there was a burst of shouts in the Jianghuai army camp: "Stop, do you want your second duke's life?" ”

The soldiers on both sides, who were still fighting, looked at the source of the sound. I saw that Du Yu, Chen Zhengtong, Feng Huiliang and others were all bloody, and they were tied up by a group of soldiers wearing Tang Army uniforms and were escorted out of the big tent. 、

It seems that the battle in the tent has ended, and Yuming and Shumeng still won the final victory and captured Du Yu and others.

At this time, Yu Ming, who was standing beside Du Yu, put the big knife on his neck and said coldly: "Du Gong, if you still want to live, tell all your subordinates to lay down their weapons and surrender, otherwise...... I wouldn't mind wiping it off with a knife......"

Du Yu felt that the knife next to his neck seemed to be closer to his neck, and he immediately nodded in fright and said: "Listen to King Zhou's words, throw down all your weapons, let's surrender!" ”

As soon as Du Yu's voice fell, none of the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army threw their weapons and surrendered, after all, although they were in a critical situation and were invincible, they had a military advantage, and they wanted them to surrender, but they were unwilling.

However, after only a while, a soldier shouted, "The second duke has given the order to surrender." What are we going to fight? I fell! ”

With that, he threw the knife in his hand on the ground.

"I've descended too! Don't fight! ”

"That's it, the Zhou army is so powerful, and the equipment is much better than our Jianghuai army, we can't beat it, and I surrender!"

“……”

Immediately, a large group of Jianghuai soldiers stood up and announced that they were going to surrender, which made those Jianghuai soldiers who were still hesitant waver.

Of course, none of them knew that these "Jianghuai soldiers" who surrendered enthusiastically were all pretended to be Zhou soldiers. The number of them was only about a thousand, but they stood very concentrated, and at a glance, there were dense soldiers shouting to surrender, so they affected the thousands of Jianghuai soldiers around them.

People have a herd mentality, and after the Jianghuai soldiers around them surrendered, the wave of surrender was like dominoes, and many Jianghuai soldiers threw down their weapons and became prisoners.

Not long after, under the persecution of a strong enemy outside and the order of the main general inside, the remaining Jianghuai army of about 20,000 people surrendered.

After solving the Jianghuai Army, Yu Ming also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the road to the Tiger Prison Pass had been opened. He sent Zhang Zhongjian to escort the captives to the Tiger Pass, and joined with Luo Linmo and other garrison generals, so that he could lead the left-behind army of the Tiger Pass to respond, and at the same time transfer 50,000 troops from the defenders of the Tiger Pass to Luoyang to garrison.

This time, since he has won the battle of Luoyang's belonging, everyone in the world knows that Luoyang is his, and it is impossible for Yuming to spit out the fat in his mouth. Moreover, Li Yuan treacherously launched a sneak attack on him, and it was impossible to give up.

Before, he was short of troops and could not deal with the attack of the Tang army, which was several times his own, so he could only swallow his anger for the time being. But now, the more than 100,000 troops in Tiger Pass can come to reinforce at any time, and that is the time to launch a counteroffensive and inflict heavy damage on the Tang army. If it was possible, Yu Ming even wanted to simply get rid of Li Shimin, so that the opponent he was most afraid of would disappear forever.

After resting for a day, Yu Ming and Li Jing led the merged Zhou army of more than 15,000 people to march in the direction of the camp where Wang Xuanshu was stationed. At the same time, he also sent scouts to inform Wang Xuanshu that he had annihilated the Jianghuai army to which Du Yu belonged, and he no longer had to hold on to the camp, in order to hold Li Yuanji, and could retreat to Luoyang City.

But just when Yuming had just marched more than forty miles, he suddenly saw a group of Zhou troops in front of him with broken clothes and armor, full of wounded soldiers, and embarrassed, running towards his side.

"Oops! It must be Wang Xuanshu's side that something happened! Yu Ming's heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward.

At this time, the group of Zhou soldiers also walked over with each other's arms. The person who did it was Lu Chu.

"Lord Lu, what's wrong? What about General Wang? Yu Ming glanced at it, but he didn't see Wang Xuanshu and Duan Da.

Lu Chu said with a sad face at this time: "King Zhou, it was quite smooth before, the Tang army that came to attack us was Li Yuanji's department, under the command of General Wang, although it suffered heavy casualties, it was still able to support it...... But later, after Li Shimin came back, he took over the command of the Tang Army, and our army ......"

At this time, he told Yuming the whole process of their stay in the camp.

Originally, when they only faced Li Yuanji, although they faced the Tang army with superior forces and paid a certain number of casualties, they could always hold on to the camp without losing. And Wang Xuanshu can also come up with a way to rob the camp and cause greater casualties to the Tang army. Although Duan Da died because of this, in general, he was still able to equal the situation with the Tang Army.

In this case, Wang Xuanshu also thought that he could hold on until Yuming defeated the Jianghuai army, and then returned victorious. He and Yuming could then launch a two-sided attack on the Tang army and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

But what Wang Xuanshu and others didn't expect was that Li Shimin came back at this critical moment with the 10,000 Tang troops who defeated Xiao Miao.

His arrival not only improved the morale of the Tang army, but most importantly, Li Shimin brought a batch of grain and grass captured from the Liang army, which relieved the Tang army's urgent need for lack of grain and grass due to the occupation of the large camp.

Although Li Yuanji was reluctant, he had to transfer the command of the Tang Army to Li Shimin when he had fought for a long time without success, and when Li Yuan left, he made it clear that Li Shimin was the main general.

After integrating all the Tang troops, Li Shimin knew very well the importance of recapturing the camp and obtaining the grain and grass in it for the Tang army. He then immediately launched an attack on Wang Xuanshu's army.

And Li Shimin's command and combat ability is much higher than Li Yuanji's. He first sent a group of soldiers to pretend to go to the camp of the original Liang army to escort grain and grass. Then he deliberately revealed the news to Zhou Jun's scouts.

After Wang Xuanshu learned of this, he immediately sent Lu Chu and Guo Shiheng to lead a large number of men and horses to ambush, preparing to burn the Tang army's grain and grass transportation convoy. The convoy was filled with hay and no food at all.

At the same time, Li Shimin led the main force of the Tang army and launched a surprise attack on the Zhou army camp. Because Lu Chu and Guo Shiheng led more than half of the troops to leave, the remaining men and horses could not resist the siege of the Tang army's superior forces at all. The camp fell, and the Zhou army suffered a crushing defeat.

Wang Xuanshu could have calmly evacuated, but in order to burn all the grain and grass in the camp and not leave the Tang army, he led his own soldiers to fight to the last moment.

Although all the grain and grass stored in the camp were burned, Wang Xuanshu and his personal troops were surrounded because they had no time to withdraw.

At this life-and-death juncture, Wang Xuanshu showed considerable character, refused Li Shimin's surrender, and committed suicide by drawing his sword. His own soldiers were also martyred.

However, after Li Shimin recaptured the camp, he did not order the Tang army to rest and recuperate, and immediately set up an ambush circle in a forest ten miles southwest of the camp, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the troops of Lu Chu and Guo Shiheng.

At this moment, Lu Chu and Guo Shiheng had just received the news that the camp had been attacked, and they were hurrying to the camp.

With or without intention, the two crashed into Li Shimin's ambush circle. As soon as they led 6,000 Zhou troops into the woods, they saw the Tang army shouting and surrounding them from all directions. The Zhou army was caught off guard, and the formation was suddenly chaotic. However, Li Shimin commanded the Tang army to divide and encircle the Zhou army, and then annihilated them one by one.

Lu Chu and Guo Shiheng saw that the situation was not good, so they had to lead their subordinates to break through separately.

Lu Chu was lucky, the side he broke through was the weak point of the Tang army's defense, and after some hard fighting, he finally led more than ten of his own soldiers to escape from the encirclement.

After breaking through, Lu Chu met a personal soldier next to Guo Shiheng at the meeting place, only to know that Guo Shiheng was not as lucky as him.

The direction of Guo Shiheng's breakthrough was where Li Shimin was seated, and the Tang army had the strongest troops. After some fighting, he was still unable to break out of the encirclement, and he was unwilling to surrender to the Tang army, and in the end he only ended up with the annihilation of the entire army. The pro-soldier also lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, and only crawled out of the pile of dead people after the Tang army left, and quietly rushed to the assembly place.
