Li Shimin attaches great importance to this news, and he also knows that although his father is a wise man, he has soft ears and is a little cowardly. As soon as I heard that Dou Jiande sent troops, there would definitely be a repetition, and it would inevitably bury the current good situation.

Li Shimin knew that Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong must not be allowed to converge, so he decided to immediately enter the eastern capital to cut off their contact; And detained Dou Jiande's envoy Master Li in the military camp and prevented him from contacting Wang Shichong, so that at least Dou Jiande could be delayed for a while.

At the same time, Li Shimin sent Yu Wenshi and a post station to hurry back to Chang'an to report the latest news on the front line to Emperor Li Yuan, and report on Li Shimin's plan to enter the eastern capital.

Li Yuan received the report and agreed, and he said to Yuwenshi: "Go back and tell the King of Qin that attacking the Eastern Capital now is to end the war as soon as possible. On the day of the capture of the eastern capital, the Sui Dynasty emperor's public opinion utensils, books and archives, and everything that did not belong to private individuals were collected and kept by the Qin king. The rest of the beauties and treasures can be given to the soldiers. ”

Yuwenshi hurriedly said goodbye to Li Yuan before he got the reply, and Pegasus returned to the enemy. Li Shimin received the edict, showed it to the generals, and then ordered everyone to prepare to cross Luoshui and capture Qingcheng Palace on the outskirts of Luoyang.

Wang Shichong was rewarded by Wang Xuanying and knew that Li Shimin had already known the news that he and Dou Jiande had joined forces. Then in addition to retreating, he only had the only way to storm Luoyang.

Wang Shichong gritted his teeth and prepared to fight at the end, he concentrated the elite in the city and ambushed in Qingcheng Palace early, ready to give Li Shimin a heavy blow.

The vanguard of the Tang army was the left servant of the Shangshu Shot Qu Tutong, and the old general led 10,000 people to suddenly break through Luoshui and come to Qingcheng Palace in the night. According to the plan, they should build fortifications on the spot, wait for Li Shimin's army to come, and then attack Luoyang together.

But Wang Shichong had already guessed their plan, and he had already stationed a large army here. Before Qu Tutong could build the fortifications, Prince Aoyu shouted and rushed forward with 20,000 men.

Qu Tutong didn't see it well, and while letting his subordinates release wolf smoke to warn, he led the army to resist desperately.

The prince of the fish galloped like a beast of prey, and the blood smashed by the purple gourd flew horizontally, invincible. Qu Tutong had no choice but to personally straddle the horse and carry the knife and lead the guards to rush up and block it.

After all, he was already in his 60s, and he was beaten by the prince of Aoyu with a big knife in his hand in less than ten faces, and thanks to the desperate efforts of his own soldiers, he was able to save his life.

There was no way, Qu Tutong had to let his own soldiers surround the prince of Aoyu, and cooperate with the longlance infantry to attack and harass below, so as to stop the momentum of Aoyu, so as not to break through the formation.

Later, Li Shimin led thousands of cavalry to set up a formation at the foot of Beibi Mountain, and a few months ago, he was here to break Wang Shichong, who came to sneak attack. Now, he once again ascended the Wei Xuanwu Mausoleum and looked out over the vast battlefield.

He saw wolf smoke rising on the opposite side, and Qu Tutong was attacked and Wang Shichong was strangled together. Li Shimin not only did not panic, but laughed and said to Cheng Zhijie: "Fifth brother, Wang Shichong is desperate, and he will send all his elites out to win." If you defeat him today, he will never dare to come out and fight me again! ”

Cheng Zhijie and others nodded one after another; Li Shimin pulled out the Dingtang knife and shouted: "Cross the river!" Eliminate Wang Shichong in one fell swoop! With that, he rushed down first, and the thousands of troops behind him also followed with a rumbling.

Today, Li Shimin rode the war horse Sa Luzi, he gently stroked the neck of the war horse and said, "Sa Luzi, it's your turn today!" ”。

Sa Luzi nodded as if she understood, this is a pure purple horse, it has a docile temperament, it is very good at understanding the meaning of its master, and its endurance is especially strong. When Li Shimin rode it down the hill, he barely felt the bumps.

Cheng Zhijie's Hulei Leopard also climbed to the peak and waded through the water, and he and Li Shimin went hand in hand and rushed down first. Qin Qiong, Pei Xingyan, Li Yuanba, Wei Chi Jingde, Zhai Changsun and others followed closely.

Sa Luzi was the first to rush into Luoshui, and rows of cavalry followed, splashing and tumbling in the river, as if the entire river was about to be lifted.

Li Shimin galloped ashore and led his cavalry to the left side of the enemy formation. The infantry of the Tang Army, who were engaged in the battle with the enemy, saw that reinforcements had arrived, and immediately thundered with joy.

At a distance of about 100 zhang from the enemy's formation, Li Shimin, who was galloping on his horse, turned around and waved his longbow vigorously. "Keep rushing over it, piercing it! Kill! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The cavalry who followed closely followed and shouted.

Twenty or thirty zhang away from the enemy's formation, Li Shimin commanded the cavalry to shoot a rain of arrows, the enemy in front of him fell one after another, and the rest hurriedly retreated to avoid arrows.

Salu Zi carried Li Shimin, who was wearing black armor, and almost crashed into the enemy formation with the last wave of flying arrows.

There was this group of peerless fierce generals who opened the way, and they rushed into the enemy formation like hot knives cutting butter, stirring up a bloody storm. Zheng Jun soon couldn't resist and had a tendency to collapse.

Wang Shichong, who was in the back, was also caught off guard, and hurriedly ordered the general Guo Shancai to lead his pikemen to come forward to help defend.

Under the protection of a group of peerless generals, Li Shimin seems to have returned to the eventful years of the past battles. He was in a particularly comfortable mood, brandishing the Dingtang knife and fighting all the way forward; Surrounded by the fleeing figure of the enemy, the panicked expression of the enemy in his eyes, and the terrible cry of the enemy dying in his ears.

When the prince of Aoyu saw that this side was broken through, he didn't care about attacking Qu Tutong, and led a large army to intercept it; As soon as Li Yuanba and Pei Xingyan saw the light in the eyes of the Aoyu Prince, they turned their horses' heads to meet them.

The prince was stunned by the fright, and the two had already rushed up; Each lifts a sledgehammer and smashes it. The fish used a long purple gourd to block it, and it was suddenly shocked to spurt blood, and turned around and ran.

Zheng Jun behind him surrounded and blocked the two evil stars. Li Yuanba and Pei Xingyan saw where they were willing to put it, and the sledgehammer wheel opened a bloody way to continue to pursue the Aoyu Prince.

Li Shimin tirelessly brandished the Dingtang Sword, galloped forward without stopping, and soon rushed through the military formation of the Aoyu Prince. Later, Guo Shancai had already set up a formation, and pieces of spears were set up into a forest of guns, waiting for the enemy to throw himself into the net.

Li Shimin had already taken a longbow in his hand, and shot arrows at the enemy's face and throat, and Cheng Zhijie danced like a big axe next to him. The enemy eventually dispersed in panic.

Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie finally broke through to the back of the enemy formation. The front was blocked by a long causeway. They turned sharply to look, but no one followed them.

It turned out that Guo Shancai saw that the two of them were fierce, so he ordered the battle formation to open an opening and let them in, and then the soldiers closed together to block Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde and others who were close behind.

Guo Shancai saw that Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie were single, snorted coldly, and drove his horse to chase after him.

Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie half-crouched on horseback, galloping north along the causeway, trying to shake off the pursuers behind them at great speed.

At this moment, there was a sudden ambush in front of him, and it turned out that Shan Xiongxin led troops to intercept it. A rain of arrows flew under his command, and a stray arrow was like a sudden black spot, snatching and nailing into Saluzi's chest. Sa Luzi let out a scream of pain, slowly slowed down, and stopped.

Cheng Zhijie killed the pursuers behind, and suddenly saw Li Shimin in front of him suddenly jump off the horse, knowing that something had happened, he slapped the war horse violently and rushed up.

The great axe in his hand opened, and the heads flew wildly, and the blood appeared; Even Shan Xiongxin, who seemed to be about to step forward, was almost vomited blood by his axe and walked away. When the enemy troops blocking the road saw this, they were so frightened that they did not dare to come forward.

Cheng Zhijie hurriedly jumped off the horse without saying a word, and led his mount to Li Shimin, who turned over on his horse, took the reins, and shot the approaching enemy with an arrow and a bow.

Cheng Zhijie stepped forward and pulled out the feather arrow on his purple chest, which immediately brought out a burst of blood. Sa Luzi was frightened, screamed in a daze, and jumped up with her head held high. Cheng Zhijie pulled the reins tightly, pulled the horse's head hard, he held Sa Luzi in one hand, held the big axe in the other, and ran to the back of the enemy formation, the enemy saw it, and hurriedly raised his knife to meet him.

Cheng Zhijie grinned with his teeth open, his tiger eyes widened, and he shouted loudly, and the big axe fell from mid-air, splitting an enemy general in half; He jumped up again, screaming "Ahh

The enemy in front of him was frightened by such a fierce fighting method, and they all pulled their legs to dodge. So Cheng Zhijie rushed in front of him and roared and jumped, splitting out a piece of axe light, and the enemies in front of him were all killed.

Li Shimin bent his bow and arrows, and every shot must be hit; Flying arrows check for leaks, long-range strike support. The two of them penetrated the enemy formation again, and successfully returned to the Tang Army's large array to join Qin Qiong and others.

Li Shimin had just established his footing, only to find that Qin Qiong only had one hundred and ten people under him, and he knew that these people were worried about his safety, so he chased after him without leading the army; Thinking of the danger just now, his face flushed, and he regretted it a little.

At this moment, Wei Chi Jingde led dozens of horsemen to kill back from the enemy formation. Li Shimin hurriedly called Wei Chi Jingde, gathered more than 300 scattered horsemen, and concentrated in a battle column, led by him and Cheng Zhijie to kill the enemy formation, and the enemy army was invincible.

On the way, they met Li Yuanba and was killed by Pei Xingyan with dozens of cavalry and the enemy, so they called him over, and when they asked, they knew that these two people were going to hunt down and kill the prince of Aoyu; As a result, although he was injured, he still escaped with his martial arts.

Li Shimin hurriedly stopped the two, and then rushed forward to the enemy together. Soon, Liu Hongji and Zhai Changsun led the follow-up troops to cross Luoshui one after another and joined their battle columns.
