Chapter 426: White-robed young general

When Zhang Yunwen was about to call Xue Rengui to Pyongyang, he hit a soft nail there. Xue Rengui said that he was unwilling to miss the current war, and politely rejected Zhang Yunwen.

At this time, Zhang Yunwen remembered that it seemed that this Xue Rengui seemed to be famous in this battle and entered Li Shimin's eyes. At the moment, "hehe" smiled: "Rengui, this battle should be the largest battle between our army and the Goryeo army, and Your Majesty should personally command it." If you can show yourself in this battle, you will definitely make Your Majesty look at it differently. When the time comes, you'll have a bright future! ”

Hearing Zhang Yunwen's words, Xue Rengui's eyes lit up, looked at Zhang Yunwen, and said abruptly: "Then dare to ask General Zhang, how can you show the limelight?" ”

Zhang Yunwen had a slight smile in his eyes: "Hehe, Rengui must have heard about Zhao Zilong's Changban Slope in the Three Kingdoms, when Zhao Zilong wore a white horse, white armor and white cloak, he fought in and out of a million troops, and even Cao Cao praised it." So if you want to arouse His Majesty's idea, you can also have a white horse, white armor and white cloak, which will definitely attract His Majesty's attention! ”

Xue Rengui heard this and nodded again and again.

On the third day after Zhang Yunwen left, when Li Shimin sent Ashina Sheer to lead more than 1,000 Turkic people to challenge in front of the Goryeo camp, after fighting with Goryeo for more than an hour, he pretended not to support and led the troops to retreat. This time, Gao Yanshou did not doubt him, and ordered tens of thousands of troops to chase after him, and the rest of the army also set up camp and followed.

The following generals admonished Gao Yanshou, saying that he was afraid that it was a trick of the Tang Army, and that there was fraud in mentioning it. Gao Yanshou was disdainful and said: "A few days ago, the Tang army kept coming to call for battle, often killing hundreds of my soldiers, and when I sent out a large army, they scattered in all directions. And after several major battles, our army lost less and won more, and it seems that the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army is no more than that! Don't wait for a reply, and see how this official defeats the Tang army! ”

When the tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry chasing Ashina Sheer arrived at the six mountains eight miles east of Anshi City, that is, the mountain range in Li Shimin's plan, they saw the other party disappear after burrowing into a canyon.

This Goryeo general was afraid of an ambush in the mountain, and patrolled in front of the mountain for a long time, but finally did not enter the mountain to explore.

When the ensuing army of Gao Yanshou arrived in front of the mountain, Gao Yanshou listened to the general's words, pondered for a moment, and said, "It does seem that there is some mystery here. You're careful, and there's nothing wrong with that! ”

At this time, the scouts sent out would report that the Tang army camp had been found in the mountains. Gao Yanshou immediately ordered the soldiers to camp in the mountains. 150,000 Goryeo troops set up camp and laid out a formation, stretching for more than 40 miles.

Hearing that the Goryeo army had set up a position in the mountains and set up a large camp, Li Shimin and Li Ji glanced at each other, and the latter smiled and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Gao Yanshou has entered the middle of the army!" ”

Li Shimin also smiled proudly: "Okay! Shiyun, you and I went to the high hill in the mountains and saw the arrangement of this high longevity with our own eyes! ”

After personally observing the arrangement of the Goryeo army's formation, Li Shimin returned to the tent, summoned the generals under the tent, and assigned combat tasks.

"Li Ji, the chief of the march of Liaodong Road, I order you to lead 20,000 cavalry, set up a formation in Xiling, and lure the enemy army to attack." Li Shimin picked up the arrow in his hand and handed it to Li Ji.

"Where is the eldest grandson Wuji?"

"Wechen is here!"

"Order you to lead 20,000 troops in the narrow valley in the north of the mountain, and when you launch an attack, rush out from behind the enemy!" As he spoke, Li Shimin took out another arrow.

Then, Li Shimin allocated several soldiers and horses, all of which were small shares, for interception.

In the end, Li Shimin said: "I will lead 5,000 horsemen, carry drums and horns, roll up the flag, climb the North Mountain, and take charge of the overall situation. All the troops and horses attacked together with the sound of drums and horns! ”

After arranging the offensive, Li Shimin ordered Yousi to set up a surrender tent on the side of the court, and said confidently: "At noon tomorrow, the captives will be surrendered here!" ”

Hearing Li Shimin's confident words, all the generals couldn't help but bow at the same time: "Long live Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty will win!" ”

On the second day, according to Li Shimin's plan, Li Ji led an army of 20,000 to set up a position in Xiling. The 20,000-strong army waved its flags, and the cold light of the armor flickered.

At this time, the mountain wind is howling and dark clouds cover the sun. The cold light of the armor was extremely dazzling under this weather.

Gao Yanshou saw that Li Ji had set up a position in Xiling, and immediately reorganized his troops and horses, and came to meet the enemy in formation. Compared with the Tang army, the military formation of the Goryeo army was much looser, and the soldiers stood crookedly, not as neat as the Tang army.

Suddenly, Gao Yanshou felt as if he had been tricked.

At this time, Li Shimin, who was in charge of the overall situation on the North Mountain, saw that in the narrow valley, the dust was flying, and the birds were frightening, and he knew that the eldest grandson Wuji had entered the narrow valley. At this time, the Goryeo army and Li Ji's army were separated by less than a mile, and they had already entered the area designated by the Tang army. The order is to beat the drum for the trumpet. Suddenly, the drums and horns sounded in unison, shaking the mountains.

The eldest grandson Wuji and the general Niu Jin Dade fought out from the rear of the Goryeo army and attacked the rear of the Goryeo army. Several armies of 3,000 men also came out of the spurs and attacked the flanks of the Goryeo army.

Li Shimin personally led an army of 5,000 to the flank of the Goryeo army.

The army formation organized by Gao Yanshou was originally used to attack Li Ji, but now that the Tang army is slaughtered on all sides, it must be divided into troops to resist, so it has to change the situation. However, the position of the 150,000-strong army could not be so easily changed.

When the time came, there was chaos in the military formation.

Gao Yanshou, Gao Huizhen and others were busy mobilizing soldiers to change the military formation, and they were a little too busy to take care of themselves.

At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, and then a thunderclap resounded through the heavens and the earth.

With the sound of thunder, I saw a Tang army on the flank, a Tang general with a white horse, white armor and white cloak slashed out, and the halberd of Fang Tian in his hand was constantly waving, stabbing or picking, or sweeping or splitting, there was no general under the halberd, it was really cutting people and killing the enemy, such as chopping vegetables and chopping melons.

"Kill-" In the roar of the white-robed Tang general, the Goryeo army avoided one after another, and the lookouts were invincible. This white-robed Tang will be like entering a no-man's land.

Under such a cloudy weather, among the ten thousand armies, this white-robed Tang will rush back and forth to kill, so conspicuous. On the hillside, Li Shimin, who commanded 5,000 Tang troops to rush to kill the flank of the Goryeo army, couldn't help but show appreciation on his face when he saw the white-robed general.

However, at this time, it was a critical moment in the battle, Li Shimin took a deep look at the white-robed Tang general, and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Soldiers, rush!" ”

The flanks and rear of the Goryeo Army were attacked, and the already chaotic formation was even more chaotic. Many of the Goryeo soldiers had already begun to flee. And Li Ji gave an order, ordering the army to form a formation with spears and slowly advance forward. Anyone who stood in his way died along the way.

From the three quarters of the morning to the early hours of the afternoon, the shouts of killing and the sound of swords and soldiers colliding with the sky resounded throughout the six mountains.

Finally, the formation of the Goryeo army surrounded on three sides collapsed violently, and countless soldiers rushed out of the formation, either killed by the Tang army, or fled from the battlefield. For a time, the army was crushed.

In the midst of the rout, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen's command post gradually broke out of the encirclement of the Tang army and moved towards the mountain. The Tang army was busy chasing and killing the rout, and seeing that Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen were still in control, they were not busy chasing and killing.

Eventually, most of the rout escaped, and the rest were killed. Li Shimin's attention shifted to Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen.

Tonight, when I was coding words, an old classmate called and said that he was going out for a drink, so he went out! I didn't come back until more than ten o'clock, and I hastily rushed this chapter, and it was passed on! Drinking, what a sad word. Now I have a headache!
