"Don't go!" Li Shimin hurriedly stopped Li Yuan and said: "For the sake of a war horse, how can you still let the fourth brother take risks." ”

Li Yuanba didn't listen, and told Captain Chi Jingde to go straight, and the two of them rushed out together, breaking into the enemy formation in a rain of arrows. The rider who showed off his might, only then did he know that he was afraid and wanted to escape, but he was killed by Li Yuanba with a hammer, Wei Chigong took the BMW and returned to the Tang army camp, and no one dared to be the Xia army.

The Tang army on the city wall thundered with joy when they saw it.

Li Shimin was both happy and distressed. He looked at the BMW again and again, tried to ride it, and sure enough, it felt good. When I asked, I found out that the rider turned out to be Wang Shichong's nephew Wang Wan, and this BMW was actually the mount of Emperor Yang of Sui, named Hongguang Horse!

Li Shimin said to Cheng Zhijie: "Fifth brother, I know that you have a red BMW fire dragon beast, but you died for the savior in the battle with Yuwen Chengdu. This horse is like your dragon beast; I'll give it to you! ”

When Cheng Zhijie saw the rainbow horse, he couldn't help but think of the fire dragon beast. He jumped off the Hulei Leopard without prevarication and turned over on the rainbow horse; It feels like I'm back in the old days.

"Yes, it's a good horse! It's a lot stronger than my previous drakemon. Then I will accept it, thank you for the love of King Qin for giving the horse. ”

"It's all your own people, don't be polite, for the fifth brother's help, I can't repay it."

"Dou Jiande is really a good person! Send people, horses, clothes and armor; This is a good person who does not seek for himself, but is dedicated to others! ”

Everyone laughed happily. The fear in the hearts of some generals disappeared.

The sun slowly swept overhead. When Li Shimin saw this, he sent a fast horse to the north bank of the Yellow River to inform Xu Shiji, who was there, to recall the war horses that had been grazing on the sandbank yesterday; Do what he planned; As soon as his war horse arrived, the Don army immediately went into battle.

In the vast field, Dou Jiande's soldiers were exposed to the summer sun from morning to noon, all of them were thirsty and hungry, sweating, their bodies were as soft as grass seedlings under the scorching sun, and some simply sat on the ground.

When the water was brought from the rear, the soldiers stepped forward one after another, scrambling for water, and there was a little confusion in the military formation. Some of the soldiers even walked up and down in the queue, as if they wanted to get rid of the scorching sun, and shouted in their mouths to return to the barracks.

Li Shimin saw the chaotic situation of the enemy formation from a distance, judged that the time had come to attack, and ordered Li Yuanba and Dou Jiande to lead 3,000 Xuanjia cavalry to gallop south from the west end of the enemy formation. He admonished: "If the enemy position does not move, you will return with your troops; If you move, you will lead your troops to the east and storm it. ”

The two led 3,000 cavalry to gallop away, and the enemy formation really stirred.

Li Shimin watched the enemy formation carefully, then laughed, stretched out his hand to take off the longbow on his back and said: "The enemy's physical strength has declined, his mind is in chaos, and he can't even maintain the battle formation. We're ready to strike! ”

At this time, there was a faint roar behind him—but it was Xu Shiji's war horses grazing north of the Yellow River who rushed back.

These war horses were driven like madness and rushed towards Dou Jiande's army; Xia Jun was chattering and complaining, when he suddenly heard a thunderous roar; Turning his head, he saw the galloping horses rushing towards them like arrows from the string.

Xia Jun was caught off guard, screaming and turning his head to run; However, no matter how fast they ran, they did not run as fast as their horses, and they were killed countless at once; The formation was also washed into chaos.

Li Shimin walked down the city wall quickly, and as he walked, he gave the order to the generals to attack on all fronts. He ordered Qin Shubao to lead a thousand elite cavalry to rush to the enemy formation first.

He, Cheng Yanjin, Pei Xingyan and others led a large group of cavalry to follow. Yin Kaishan and others led the infantry to follow the cavalry and rushed to kill.

In the rain of arrows, Qin Qiong took the lead in breaking into the enemy formation, and behind him the Tang cavalry rushed in wave after wave, and the Tang infantry followed, crossed the river to the east, and launched a charge against the Xia army's large array.

Dou Jiande, who was born in poverty, suddenly ascended to the throne, and the formal and rigorous etiquette of the court was something he always emphasized. Even in such intense military affairs in the battlefield barracks, he did not forget to order his ministers to hold a court meeting on the Golden Horde.

Suddenly, the Tang cavalry rushed towards them fiercely; Caught them off guard; Xia Guoqunchen panicked and hurriedly hid beside Dou Jiande, like a bird burrowing into the armpit of his parents.

Dou Jiande urgently summoned the Daxia cavalry to intercept the Tang cavalry, but due to the steep terrain, the Wenchen blocked the road tightly, and the cavalry could not pass for a while; Dou Jiande shouted and scolded, commanding the ministers to get out of the way and flash aside.

Just between this advance and retreat, the Tang cavalry rushed over, disrupted Dou Jiande's guards, and also broke down the cavalry queue behind. Dou Jiande was extremely embarrassed, and hurriedly retreated to the higher Dongpi under the protection of Liu Heimin and others, and rearranged his position.

Zuo Wuhou General Dou Kang led the Tang infantry to rush to the enemy position, but was met with stubborn resistance from the Xia infantry and was unable to advance for a while.

It happened that Qin Qiong arrived, and when he saw this, he asked Dou Kang to get out of the way, and personally led the cavalry to rush into the enemy formation, and everything was lost; Dou Kang led the infantry to follow closely, and the enemy formation in front of him suddenly fell into chaos.

Qin Qiong continued to sprint deep into the enemy formation, flying arrows came like rain, he rushed to kill the horse in the face of the rain of arrows, suddenly, he felt the yellow horse under his crotch move obviously, leaned over to look, it turned out to be the loss of the war horse.

Qin Qiong killed the enemy in front of him, and then let Dou Kang continue to charge and kill, and drove his horse back by himself.

The speed of the yellow horse on the road became slower and slower, Qin Qiong fought bravely to fight a bloody road, Xia Jun saw that he was brave and did not dare to stop him, so he scattered and fled, so that he entered the gate of the tiger prison safe and sound.

He dismounted and saw that the yellow horse had five arrows in his body, all of which were shot head-on, and all the arrows were shot at the back of the horse's body, which showed how fast the horse was running at that time - the arrows shot at the horse's head, but when the arrows flew, the horse's head was gone, but it hung on the horse's hind hips!

"Change horses! Change horses! Qin Qiong shouted sharply, but in his eagerness, there was a good war horse to replace him. Just when Qin Qiong was in a hurry, suddenly the long roar of a war horse caught his attention.

Qin Qiong looked at it, wasn't it Cheng Zhijie's Hulei Leopard? It turned out that Lao Cheng had a BMW rainbow and put Hulei Leopard at home to rest today.

"Bring me the Hulei Leopard!" Qin Qiong didn't bother to check the injury of the yellow horse, handed it over to his soldiers, and flew on the Hulei Leopard and was about to rush out.

As a result, as soon as I arrived at the city gate, I saw Li Shimin running back like a hedgehog; The green horse he sat on was hit by several arrows, and he was bleeding profusely.

"Quickly bring Shivachi out!" Li Shimin shouted at Lu Chong, Lu Chong agreed, lowered his head, threw off his arms, and ran quickly into the barracks, and immediately rode out on Shi Huachi, jumping lightly beside Li Shimin.

Shivachi is a horse from the Great Food Country (The Great Food Country is the ancient Chinese name for the Arab Caliphate. The red horse is extremely fast, and the sweat is like blood.

"King Qin!" Qin Qiong hurriedly rushed over, turned over and dismounted, and helped King Qin pull out the arrow that had been shot into his armor.

"Marshal Qin is also there? That's great! Oops! Li Shimin cried out in pain, and Lu Chong hurriedly rushed up to bandage his wounds.

Li Shimin continued: "Marshal Qin, I rushed behind the enemy's big array just now!" The enemy formation is not very deep, and the second half is already a little chaotic. If there are more people, you can crush the enemy in a big array! This is a great opportunity for us. Marshal Qin is willing to take a risk with me! ”

Qin Qiong hurriedly said: "Please ask the King of Qin to command, the last general is willing to charge with the King of Qin." ”

Li Shimin was overjoyed, and just as he was about to tell him to prepare, he saw more than a dozen people running back from the enemy formation, the first one was thin and small, it was his cousin Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang, and the general Yu Wenxin who came back with Li Daoxuan.

It turned out that Yu Wenxin was leading the team to kill, and suddenly found that Li Daoxuan was injured by the loss, so he took him back to treat his injuries. Li Daoxuan shouted: "I'm fine, I still have to kill the enemy!" Hurry with me into battle. ”

Li Shimin stopped Li Daoxuan, then asked someone to help him heal his injuries, and then turned around and gathered the cavalry. He ordered the cavalry generals Qin Qiong and Yu Wenxin to take people to the vicinity to pull down hundreds of military flags, all of them rolled up on the flagpole, and quickly rushed to this open space to rendezvous.

He also ordered Lu Chong to take out his five spare war horses from the barracks and give one to Li Daoxuan as his auxiliary horse; The rest were taken by the guards.

When Qin Qiong, Yu Wenxin and others arrived with the military flag, Li Shimin announced to the hundreds of cavalry: Our task now is to rush to the back of the enemy formation, and then carry the military flag and kill back.

"We were behind enemy lines, there were no reinforcements, no supplies; And in the face of enemies several times your own, are you afraid? Li Shimin deliberately asked the cavalry.

"Who would be afraid?" "The enemy will be afraid!" Qin Qiong and the other cavalry shouted in unison, their faces flushed.

"Okay, warriors, everyone's chance to make meritorious contributions has arrived!" Li Shimin took the longbow in his hand and raised it forcefully, "Don't fall behind - rush!" ”

Li Shimin led this group of cavalry to rush out of the city gate and quickly entered the enemy formation. Soon they met Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong and others who were fighting hard in the formation, Li Shimin ordered them to join in and open the way in front, so they quickly gathered more than 1,000 cavalry, and the war horses neighed angrily, rolled up the smoke and dust that rushed to the sky, and continued to advance to the depth of the enemy formation, and soon rushed to the back of the enemy formation.

Li Shimin ordered the cavalry to quickly unfurl more than 100 Tang army flags, hold them high on their horses, and make the soldiers shout loudly: "You are surrounded, surrender quickly!" "Then, more than a thousand cavalrymen maintained a medium speed and charged back from the back of the enemy's line.

The soldiers of the Xia Army looked back and saw the flag of the Tang Army fluttering, thinking that they were really encircled, and they were immediately frightened and their legs were sifted with chaff. Then, panic spread like smoke blown by a strong wind, wave after wave in the huge army formation of the Xia army, causing it to collapse on all fronts in an instant. More than 100,000 Xia troops scattered and fled in all directions in the field, like a flood that burst its embankment.
