In desperation, he had no choice but to personally lead 10,000 troops, relying on a strong camp to block the Tang army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Li Shimin saw through the enemy's reality at a glance, and the crossbows, divine arm bows, and repeating crossbows shot at the enemy like raindrops.

Xunxiang only defended for one day and lost nearly half of his men and horses, so he had to retreat with his troops in hand; Li Shimin led the army to cover up and kill.

Chasing to Luzhou, Li Shimin dragged the troops who were looking for the phase, and the light cavalry troops on the left and right surrounded him. Looking for a bad look, he led more than a dozen guards to escape from the encirclement, and the rest of the army was wiped out.

Li Shimin arranged for some people to clean up the battlefield and watch the prisoners; He personally led the army to pursue the victory and walked more than 200 miles for a day and night, and finally caught up with Song Jingang.

Li Shimin didn't care about the formation, and pounced like a hungry tiger that saw meat; Song Jingang didn't see it well, so he led the troops to fight and go, fighting dozens of battles in a row, and the army lost nearly half.

When he arrived at Gaobiling, the chief manager Tang Jian grabbed the reins of Li Shimin's horse and persuaded him: "Qin Guogong defeated the enemy and pursued the fleeing enemy here, and the credit is enough, if you continue to go deeper, don't you cherish yourself?" Besides, the soldiers were hungry and tired, so they should stay and camp here until the soldiers and horses had all the food and grass, and then it was not too late to attack. ”

Li Shimin said: "Song Jingang had no choice but to escape, and the army's morale was discouraged; It is difficult to make credit, but it is easy to fail, the opportunity is rare, but it is easy to lose, and we must take this opportunity to eliminate him. If we hold back and give him time to think about countermeasures and strengthen his defenses, we will not be able to defeat him easily. I have devoted all my allegiance to my country, but how can I only care about my own body? ”

So Li Shimin chased after him, and the soldiers did not dare to mention hunger. The Tang army caught up with Song Jingang in the Valley of the Sparrow. Li Shimin led the Xuanjia Army to personally act as a vanguard and attack Song Jingang; Yin Kaishan and Tang Jian surrounded both sides and compressed Song Jingang in the Mouse Bird Valley.

The two sides clashed eight times a day, and the Tang army won all battles, killing and capturing nearly 10,000 people. Song Jingang led the remnants of the defeated army and broke out of the siege with about 20,000 people and fled to Jiexiu.

That night, the Tang army camped in the west of the Bird Mouse Valley, Li Shimin had not eaten for two days, had not taken off his armor for three days, and there was only one sheep in the whole army, and Li Shimin and the soldiers shared this sheep. The soldiers were very moved, and they never shouted bitterness or tiredness again; The next day, I rushed to the castle with a stomach.

Li Shimin was afraid that the enemy would slow down, so he waved his army to attack the city on the same day, and Song Jingang defended the city; The Tang army attacked for a day, but the lost troops did not break through Jiexiu, so they had to retreat and truce.

Only then did Song Jingang breathe a sigh of relief and said, "What a Li Shimin, it's really amazing!" But he pursued it for days; There is not much food and grass; I see that his army is hungry; Presumably, the combat power is not high. Tomorrow, we will go out of the city and line up to fight him, and we will definitely be able to break the enemy in one fell swoop. "Wei Chigong and Xunxiang, the two fierce generals, have been very bad in the past two days, and they screamed that they want to give the enemy a good look tomorrow.

Li Shimin returned to the camp and gathered everyone, and when he saw that everyone's morale was low, he laughed and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I already have a strategy to break the enemy." Today, the truth and falsehood of our army have been made known to the enemy; Song Jingang will definitely go out of the city tomorrow for a decisive battle.

Let's plan and let Li Daozong lead the army to confront the enemy head-on; You have to pretend to be invincible, retreat in a battle, and keep Song Jingang's away from Jiexiu. Yuan Ba and I led the Xuanjia Army to take the opportunity to slam its back, and we will definitely be able to break Song Jingang. ”

The generals nodded secretly when they heard this, and they all breathed a sigh of relief; At this time, Tan Ma came to report to the county lord of Pingyang, the county horse Chai Shao and the demon king Cheng Zhijie led an army of 10,000 to help in the battle. Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't care about many people running out of the military tent to greet him.

"Third sister! Brother-in-law, fifth brother! Li Shimin stepped forward quickly, clenched his fists, and arched his hands; Cheng Zhijie and the three of them hurriedly bowed down to salute. Then Li Shimin welcomed everyone into the army; This time, they not only brought 10,000 reinforcements, but also brought a lot of grain and grass that Li Shimin urgently needed.

Li Shimin saluted again: "Thank you so much." Our army was only concerned with chasing the enemy, and it had not been a serious meal for several days. So I have no choice but to take risks tomorrow and lure Song Jingang into battle; If this guy can't hold out like me, the next step is for us to rout! ”

Chai Shao and his wife looked at each other and sighed, "Those who know the people, the fifth brother is also!" As soon as he heard that Song Jingang had withdrawn his troops, he knew that the people of the world would chase and kill; but let us bring grain and grass to rest; Sure enough, the people of the world also arrived. ”

Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "The civilian soldiers in the world are the best at striking backwards. In the beginning, patience was like the earth, and not a drop of water leaked; Who doesn't know what he's going to do next? If you really want to move your hands, you will rush into the thunder, so that people will not be able to hide their ears. Although Song Jingang has courage, he is not as strategic; It is not surprising that it was defeated at the hands of the people. Tomorrow's war will be done according to what the people of the world say, and Song Jingang will definitely be broken. ”

Everyone applauded, and the meat porridge that had been boiled for a short time was served, these Tang soldiers and Tang generals were already hungry, and they quickly drank a fine light after snoring, although they were not very full, but they had a bottom in their hearts, and their strength slowly recovered a lot.

The next day, Li Daozong led an army of 20,000 Daojiexiu to fight against the enemy, and Song Jingang really led the team to fight, with his back to Jiexiu City, and set up a seven-mile-long battle formation.

Song Jingang used Wei Chi Gong and Xun Xiang as arrows and led the army to attack Li Daozong; One and the two were brave, Li Daozong couldn't resist it, and the other were about to feign defeat to lead him to the shortlist; As soon as Li Daozong came into contact with them, there was a rout; Lead the army to flee.

Song Jingang was overjoyed when he saw it, and it was finally my turn to chase you; With a loud roar, he rushed up; Gradually, he left Jiexiu City.

They ran out of the road for only ten miles, and suddenly shouted that the sound of killing shook the sky, and Li Shimin led the Xuanjia army to stab out obliquely and kill directly, and directly took Song Jingang's rear army. Song Jingang suddenly woke up when he saw Li Yuanba, and slammed his head and scolded: "I fell for Tang Tong again!" ”

The little courage that Song Jingang's team had just mustered disappeared without a trace in an instant; Under the attack of Li Yuanba, the steel giant beast, it dispersed. Li Daozong was holding his breath, shouted, and led the army to rush back to kill.

The two armies attacked back and forth, and Song Jingang was defeated. Yu Chi Gong and Xun Xiang relied on their skills to kill back to Jiexiu; Song Jingang was driven away by Li Yuanba.

Li Shimin led the army to chase after him, and they chased for dozens of miles before stopping. Song Jingang fled back to Bingzhou with only more than 100 people; All that remained was annihilated.

Wei Chigong and Xunxiang led three or four thousand people back to Jiexiu, but when they saw that the city gate was closed, they hurriedly went up to call the door. I heard a loud laugh, and then the rain of arrows at the head of the city rained down, shooting Wei Chigong's troops to a piece.

The gates creaked open, and a group of men rushed out of the castle and surrounded them. The first member of the general was burly, with an indigo face and red eyebrows, and sat down with a big axe like a wheel in his hand.

"Haha! Big Black, let's meet again; If you don't surrender now, when? ”

As soon as Wei Chigong saw him, he shrank his head slightly, he was too far behind Cheng Zhijie's kung fu, so he didn't need to stretch out his hand, and it was for nothing to stretch out. Xun Xiang was secretly surprised by the side; This partner of mine has never served anyone, why is he scared when he sees this big blue head?

"Cheng Zhijie, we are fighting with Li Tang, what do we have to do with you? If you don't do it, why are you running to meddle with things? ”

Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "I am also brother Li Tang!" But it is not the same as the Turks! The enemy bullied my brother; I certainly can't sit idly by! Da Lao Hei, who is Liu Wuzhou in that sentence, you can also see it clearly; Are you really not afraid of infamy in the future, do you want to run with him all the way to the dark? ”

Wei Chigong was silent, and finally asked Xun Xiang: "Brother, this is Cheng Zhijie, the demon king of the mixed world who defeated the Tianbao general Yuwen Chengdu. We can't escape from his hands, what do you think? ”

Xunxiang smiled bitterly: "Our brothers moved to the west for the king of Dingyang, grabbed the three passes and grabbed the eight villages, and defeated Shanxi; It can be regarded as repaying Wang Jia's kindness. What to do in the future? The younger brother listened to his brother's orders. ”

Wei Chi sighed respectfully: "Let's go! It's not a shame to lose to the Demon King of the Mixed World; We surrendered! As he spoke, he threw away the big gun in his hand, turned over, dismounted, and knelt down to surrender.

Cheng Zhijie was overjoyed, quickly dismounted and helped the two up, and then returned to Daojiexiu to wait for Li Shimin. Not long after Li Shimin led the army back, he was overjoyed when he heard that Wei Chigong and Xunxiang had surrendered, and immediately worshiped as the commander of the right house.

Li Shimin has been worried about the leadership position of the Xuanjia Army, after Hou Junji was transferred, Li Yuanba was obviously unable to support independently, and now with the general Wei Chigong, the problem is solved. Immediately, he appointed Wei Chigong and Xun Xiang as the deputy commanders of the Xuanjia Army to help Li Yuanba take charge of this ace army.

At this time, the good news came that Chai Shao and his wife had taken advantage of the chaos to seize Yongan County, and Jinnan, Luzhou, and Haozhou were completely recovered.

Because the Tang army and Liu Wuzhou's army fought for half a year, it was inevitable that there would be some grudges in the middle; There was constant friction along the way; These surrendered troops trembled, fearing Li Shimin's retaliation.

Li Shimin's general, Qu Tutong and others, also vigorously reminded Li Shimin to be careful of these rebels making trouble, especially Wei Chigong had just surrendered and had to be guarded against.

Li Shimin laughed, he dealt with some soldiers who took the lead in making trouble, and spent the night in the rebel camp that night, and slept with Wei Chigong. The rebels felt Li Shimin's sincerity, and they were happy and convinced that they would no longer make trouble; Li Shimin also took the opportunity to break up the rebels and mix them with other armies.

Li Shimin waved his army north and came to Zhang Nanbao. Fan Botong and Zhang Dezheng, the commanders of the Tang marching army who had occupied this place before, thought that the enemy was coming, and closed the gate to occupy the fortress for self-defense.

Li Shimin urged the horse to come to the city and took off his helmet to signal to the fort, and the defenders in the fort recognized it as the Duke of Qin, cheering and crying with joy.

Fan Botong and Zhang Dezheng introduced their group into the city. The retinue told the defenders that the king of Qin had not eaten yet, and the two hurriedly offered turbid wine and rice; and gave all the military rations captured by Liu Wuzhou to Li Shimin.
