Chapter 288: Li Er, who defended the sky
Li Shimin's mind was blank, and he was in a daze, and he didn't even care when the envoy left.
"Hey!"
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed.
At this time and space, Fang Xuanling was included in Yang Yu's account, and the eldest grandson Wuji became Li Shimin's secretary to join the army, and was Li Shimin's most important adviser and confidant.
The generals of the Right Route Army were also silent, and everyone knew Li Shimin's thoughts, and at the same time they were unhappy for Li Shimin.
In terms of strength, merit, and ability, Li Shimin is the top candidate for the crown prince, but he lost in the article that he is not the eldest son, which makes people feel willing.
Of course, all the generals also hope that Li Shimin will become the crown prince, in this way, if Li Shimin ascends the throne in the future, the generals of the right route army will definitely rise to the top, but if Li Jiancheng ascends the throne after he takes the throne, I am afraid that their right route army will be squeezed into the corner.
The entire Right Route Army was in a depression, and Li Shimin's bid for the crown prince failed, and they would also be affected in the future.
At this moment, Li Shimin has matured in advance, and since the wood has been completed, it is useless to say anything at this moment.
Li Shimin settled down, silently came to the map, and carefully looked at Liu Wuzhou's troop deployment.
Once it comes to fighting, Li Shimin is immediately full of energy, at this moment he urgently needs a big victory to prove himself, to prove that he is the best candidate for the crown prince, he wants to let his father and everyone know the truth, only he Li Shimin can save Li Tang.
The battle between him and Li Jiancheng for the position of crown prince has just begun. It's not time to decide whether you win or lose.
"Boom!"
Li Shimin slammed his hand on the table.
The generals of the Right Route Army couldn't help but be shocked, and stared at Li Shimin in unison.
"The generals obey orders!"
Li Shimin's eyes were sharp, and the careful generals could find that Li Shimin's eyes were full of bloodshots.
"The last general!"
The generals shouted.
"Immediately order troops to prepare for battle, today you and I will break through the county town of Loufu!"
Li Shimin drank coldly, and his words revealed the belief in victory.
"Yes!"
The generals responded in unison.
"Knock knock!"
The drums of war are thundering!
The Tang army burst out, and the army pounced on the county seat of Loufu.
All the soldiers have already received orders, and Li Shimin, the god of war in their hearts, has already issued an order to attack the county city of Loufu today.
"Kill!"
The Tang army attacked, carrying simple siege tools, and went straight to the city wall.
"Steady! Shoot the arrows! ”
Wei Chi Jingde looked at the Tang army that had already reached the firing range. Shouted.
After Song Jingang died in battle. Wei Chi Jingde took his place as a general and was appointed by Liu Wuzhou as a guard general to defend the county seat of Loufu, while Liu Wuzhou himself fled back to his hometown of Mayi.
"Whoosh!"
A large number of arrows rained down on the Tang army.
The Don Army held a simple shield. Rush straight forward and climb the ladder. Like a wall of the city swooped down.
The Tang army was not afraid of death. Forward and forward.
Liu's army had just been defeated, and the army's morale was unstable, under the attack of the Tang army like a tide. There were many dangers, if it weren't for Wei Chi Jingde's several times leading troops to personally save the battle, he could barely maintain the battle situation.
"Wei Chi Jingde!"
Li Shimin stared at the invincible figure on the city wall, his heart was extremely angry, and his heart rose up to love talents, and his heart said how good it would be if he could take it under his command.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's heart moved, he bowed his head and gave an order, and then several waves of Tang troops rushed towards the city wall!
All of a sudden, there were desperate calls for help from many places in the county town.
Wei Chi Jingde ran around, actively rescued, and repeatedly saved Liu Jun and the fire.
Wei Chi Jingde is indeed brave and invincible, but in the face of constant danger, he gradually felt that he was unable to stand alone, and he didn't pay attention, he had been attracted to the right side of the battlefield.
"Drink!"
The horse lance in Wei Chi Jingde's hand shot out like lightning, knocking down the last Tang army soldier from the city wall, listening to the Tang army soldier falling to the ground with a bang, and then there was no sound, then he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat.
These Tang troops were so difficult that he had never seen such a brave soldier.
"Kill!"
Another group of Tang soldiers poured in like a tide, and Wei Chi Jingde realized that he had deviated from the main battlefield.
"Not good!"
Wei Chi Jingde was shocked and hurriedly led his troops to rush to the main battlefield.
But it was too late, the Tang army had already swarmed up, occupied a section of the city wall, and tore a hole in Liu's defensive line.
Wei Chi Jingde wanted to rescue, but was constantly blocked by the Tang army.
Under Li Shimin's continuous transfer of troops, this opening became bigger and bigger, and finally Liu's army collapsed, the Tang army occupied the city wall, and then forcibly opened the city gate, and the Tang army poured into Loufu County.
The building is annoying, and the county city is broken!
Under the orders of Li Shimin, Wei Chi Jingde received special care, was frantically besieged by the Tang army, and was finally wounded and captured.
After breaking through the county town of Loufu, Li Shimin did not stop, but continued to march, and the Tang army was like a bamboo, attacking the hinterland of Daoliu Wuzhou all the way, and the troops were in Mayi.
…………
"Rubbish, it's all rubbish!"
In the city of Mayi, Liu Wuzhou was furious and scolded the generals.
The generals of Ma Yi were as silent as cicadas, and did not dare to offend Liu Wuzhou's anger.
Since the defeat of Taiyuan, Liu Wuzhou's anger has become better and worse day by day, and his temper has become more and more irritable.
After Liu Wuzhou vented, he calmed down and asked, "Has the Turks ever sent a reply?"
He can now pin his hopes on Princess Yicheng, if he can get Princess Yicheng's support again, then Ma Yi will have a chance to make a comeback.
Yuan Junzhang shook his head and said, "Now when we go to see Princess Yicheng again, Princess Yicheng has refused to meet us, and we have gone to Daxing City." ”
"Daxing City! Yang Yoo'er! ”
When Liu Wuzhou heard Daxingcheng, he gritted his teeth with hatred.
If it weren't for Daxing City to encourage Liu Wuzhou to go south, if it weren't for the Daxing Army's troops under Huoyi City, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. Indulge Li Shimin to attack Taiyuan, how could he Liu Wuzhou end up today.
But there are not so many ifs in this world, in fact, Liu Wuzhou and others don't know the plans of Daxing City, but Daxing City uses Yangmou, which was indeed the best opportunity for Ma Yi at that time, and the main force of Li Yuan's army was contained under Guanzhong and Jiangjun City.
Taiyuan was empty, and Liu Wu fought on Monday.
But they never expected that the Tang army would come out with Li Er, a figure who defended the sky, and forcibly broke through Taiyuan City with the advantage of Liu Jun.
Since then, he has been chasing all the way. Everywhere you go, it's like a bamboo. Now even the county town of Loufu has been breached, and the fierce general Chi Jingde has also been defeated and captured.
Now that the Tang army has approached the city, Ma Yi is in a critical situation.
The generals of Ma Yi attacked Daxing City one after another, scolding Yang Yu for his treachery.
I think none of them took Yang Yu'er in their eyes at the beginning. is still waiting for the Daxing Army and the Tang Army to be defeated and wounded. They sit on the fisherman's profit. Where do you know that the one who wants to be a fisherman now is actually Daxing City, which they regard as a fish belly.
After Daxingcheng defeated Li Yuan, he actually besieged Huoyi City and watched Liu Jun and Tang Jun fight in Taiyuan. What was even more unacceptable to the people of Ma Yi was that they were defeated by the Tang army that had just been defeated.
Now is not the time to complain, Liu Wuzhou took a deep breath and calmed down and said: "Now that the Tang army is only thirty miles away from Mayi, how do you think our army should resist." ”
The generals were silent.
"Lord Qiqi, the Tang army is coming from an expedition, and there will definitely not be much grain and grass to carry, as long as our army refuses to defend the city, when the Tang army runs out of grain and grass, it will definitely retreat." Yuan Junzhang suggested.
"No! Defending the city is the way to death, Li Shimin is good at attacking the city, I am afraid that our army will be difficult to resist. The general said busily.
"Ma Yi was built to defend against the Turks, and the city has high walls, which will definitely be able to defend against Li Yuan." Yuan Junzhang argued.
Everyone nodded, Mayi itself is a military city, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"Taiyuan City is also very tall! It's not ......" Xunxiang suddenly stopped, his face was pale, and he was in a cold sweat, knowing that he had said the wrong thing.
The whole hall is also in a solemn atmosphere, and everyone knows that the defeat of Taiyuan is the biggest shame for Liu Wuzhou.
"The general forgives the sin!"
Xun Xiang knelt down and begged for mercy.
Liu Wuzhou took a few breaths, and then suppressed the tyranny in his heart, and now that the enemy is current, it is really not suitable to make waves again.
"Forget it! You are also unintentional! Liu Wuzhou waved his hand.
"Thank you, my lord!" Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Wuzhou looked around at the generals, and said fiercely on his face: "It's not advisable to defend the city, tomorrow the whole army will go on the march, and this general will fight to the death with Li Shimin, a kid, let him know that when Lao Tzu led the troops, he was still breastfeeding!" ”
Xun Xiang is right, Li Shimin is good at attacking cities, if Li Shimin is allowed to attack the city, I am afraid that he will lose for a long time.
"The lord is wise!" Xun Xiang hurriedly complimented.
Yuan Junzhang opened his mouth, wanting to persuade but did not say it.
Li Shimin is now in the prime of his army, and it is only possible to defeat him according to the advantages of the city, if he goes out of the city to fight, I am afraid that he will lose even worse, but at this moment Liu Wuzhou is like a gambler who has lost a bet, and he can't listen to persuasion at all.
On the second day, Liu Wuzhou ordered Yuan Junzhang to stay in Mayi, personally led 30,000 soldiers and horses, and went out of the city for ten miles to meet Li Shimin's 20,000 elite soldiers.
When the enemies of the two sides met, they were very red-eyed, and there were no superfluous words, and the two armies immediately fought together.
Li Shimin took the lead and fiercely attacked Liu Wuzhou's left flank, and the battlefield lasted only one hour, and Liu's army was completely defeated.
Liu Wuzhou fled on horseback, not even entering the Mayi, and fled directly to the Turks.
Li Shimin besieged Mayi, and Yuan Junzhang had no choice but to surrender the city.
After learning of the fall of Mayi, Wei Chi Jingde surrendered to Li Shimin, and at the same time, a large number of Liu officers and officials sent envoys to surrender.
Li Shimin took advantage of the trend and incorporated all of Liu Wuzhou's territory into Taiyuan.
Liu Wuzhou's group collapsed and became the first victim of Yang Guang's struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains after his death.
After the news of Li Shimin's defeat of Liu Wuzhou reached Taiyuan, Li Yuan was immediately overjoyed and held a banquet for three days.
In addition to being happy, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart, now that Li Tang was in danger, Li Shimin, who had made outstanding military achievements, might be more suitable for him to be the crown prince.
However, thinking of the list of materials that the Taiyuan royal family asked Li Jiancheng to bring, Li Yuan's regret was immediately put to the back of his mind. (To be continued......)
