At the beginning of May, the spy news came that Dou Jiande launched a general attack on Wujiaoguan when the Tang army's war horses and forage were exhausted on the north bank of the river.

Dou Jiande had also heard of the elite cavalry Xuanjia Army led by Li Shimin himself, so he wanted to avoid the sharpness of the Xuanjia Army.

Li Shimin planned his calculations, herded his horses on the north bank of Bishui during the day, and ordered a group of soldiers to quietly lead the horses back to Wujiao Pass in batches in the second half of the night.

Before the war, Li Shimin specially ordered all the war horses to be fed with fine materials, and the equipment of all the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army must be ready, and all the men and horses are well fed and drunk, waiting for orders.

In the early morning of the 5th, Dou Jiande ordered the army to march from the Banzhu camp to Wujiao.

Li Shimin climbed to the pass and looked east, only to see that the Xia army reached the Yellow River in the north, Bishui in the west, and Queshan in the south......

The generals were shocked when they saw this, but Li Shimin, who was the commander-in-chief, was calm and composed, and he said to everyone: "Dou Jiande is still so arrogant when he wants to survive the danger, seeing that his soldiers are loose in discipline and despise our army so much, this is called the defeat of the arrogant army!" ”

Li Shiyun asked on the side: "How is Your Highness preparing for this battle?" ”

"Look at that big king flag, it is very swaggering. By noon, the Xia soldiers were thirsty and would be slack. At that time. I led the Xuanjia Army to use the Black Tiger Heart-digging Tactics to directly smash Dou Jiande's Chinese army. The battle will be in the afternoon, and Dou Jiande will be defeated! ”

At this moment, Li Shimin did not reveal the slightest news about the ambush to the generals, and his secret envoy set off quietly in the second half of the night to meet the ambush soldiers of Zhulu - the horn sounded at noon, and the whole army was dispatched to hunt the Xia army under the military prison!

The sky was clear and there was not a single cloud in the sky. As the scorching sun gradually rose high in the sky, bursts of heat rose from the ground.

Soon, smoke began to rise from the throats of the Xia soldiers, and they couldn't help but be thirsty and competed for water.

Everyone sat on the ground, and the whole marching procession was already scattered.

Li Shimin saw the opportunity and ordered the trumpeter to blow the horn,

Woo...... Woo...... Woo......

When the drummer heard the sound of the trumpet, he struck the drum,

Boom...... Boom...... Boom......

The majestic voice can be heard more than ten miles away!

The flag officer on the close waved the flag down, and Li Shimin rode the Qinghu to take the lead, and the Xuanjia army followed closely behind him, like a sharp blade straight into the Xia army's camp.

The infantry of the Tang Army also came out of the pass one after another and launched a full-line attack on the Xia army's camp.

The forward of the Xia army was mostly infantry, and in the face of the galloping Xuanjia army, they were at a loss and had to retreat in defeat.

Li Shimin led Wei Chi Jingde, Li Shichang, Qin Shubao and other generals to rush left and right, as if entering a no-man's land.

Dou Jiande saw that the Tang army was attacking fiercely, and hurriedly transferred crossbowmen to fire a volley at the Xuanjia army.

For a time, the rain of arrows was dense, covering the sky and the sun.

In an instant, Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang, was shot into a hedgehog, but he was still rushing to kill.

Li Shimin saw that he was covered in blood, and his mount was also stained red with blood, and knew that if he continued to fight, he might be worried about his life, so he urgently ordered his own soldiers to escort the king of Huaiyang back to the camp to rest and heal.

Then, he led the Xuanjia Army to bypass the Xia Army and rush towards the big tent of the Chinese army where Dou Jiande was!

The drums shook the sky, the flags were turned, the horses were galloping, the people were shouting and the horses were neighing, the robes and armor were in battle, the bows and crossbows and spears, the swords and swords were shadowy, the dust and sand were all over the sky, and the sun and the moon were without light......

Li Shimin was in the battle, and Li Shimin shouted to the Tang army in the battle: "Capture Dou Jiande alive and seal the Marquis of Wanhu!" ”

The Tang army was in high spirits, and the soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, and the momentum was like a rainbow!

Dou Jiande just sat in the tent, he relied on his large number of people, and still didn't take Tang Jun in his eyes.

In his opinion, even if Li Shimin had an elite Xuanjia army, with 3,000 cavalry to attack his more than 100,000 horses, it was tantamount to blocking the car with a mantis arm.

He just ordered to go down and capture Li Shimin alive today. The midday sun gradually began to move westward from mid-heaven.

The scout came to report - King Xia, a large number of Tang troops appeared in the rear of our army, and surrounded our position in a fan shape.

Dou Jiande was very surprised, why did there still be soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty in the rear?

Just when I was confused, the front army came to report - King Xia, the forward of the Tang army had passed through the forward position of our army and rushed towards the big tent of our Chinese army. King Xia, you better leave the big tent and take shelter for a while!

Dou Jiande hurriedly left the camp and looked west, only to see that the sky was full of dust and he couldn't see anything.

He then bowed down and put his right ear to the ground to listen to the sounds, but heard the sound of the horse's hooves galloping from far and near.

Dou Jiande knew that something was wrong, Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army was famous all over the world, and this sharpness was probably to be avoided.

It's just that he didn't know that his defeat was decided at this time, and he didn't forget to wear his golden armor when he retreated, so he was really afraid that others wouldn't recognize him.

He led his soldiers all the way to the east, and his relatives around him were scattered by the Tang army one by one.

After a while, Li Shimin rushed to the middle of Dou Jiande's big tent, he touched Dou Jiande's seat, there was still residual warmth, and he knew that he must not run far. So the cavalry was ordered to quickly pursue to the east.

The Tang army had formed a siege of the Xia army, and Li Shimin knew that the overall situation had been decided, so he ordered the soldiers to capture Dou Jiande alive.

And he himself rested in Dou Jiande's Chinese army tent.

In the afternoon, the Tang Dynasty chariot generals Bai Shirang and Yang Wuwei captured Dou Jiande in Niukou Zhusheng, thirty miles east of the main battlefield, tied him up, and escorted him to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin respected Dou Jiande's personality, personally untied him, and put wine to suppress his shock.

Dou Jiande's soldiers were scattered, many of them scattered and fled the battlefield, and 50,000 people were captured by the Tang army.

Li Shimin immediately ordered the prisoners to be dismissed and let them return to their hometowns. At this point, the Xia army has completely failed!
