Chapter 400: Don't miss the opportunity

"Kill!"

In the face of the defeated Pang Yu army, Zong Luohu led the army to pursue at full speed, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

At this moment, the general came to report in a panic: "Oh no, Li Shimin led the elite troops to attack our army from the north......"

"What?"

Zong Luohu was furious and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers obeyed the order and went with me to destroy Li Shimin." ”

Immediately, the two armies engaged in battle at Shallow Water Plain.

Li Shimin personally went into battle and led dozens of light cavalry to rush into Zong Luohu's array, rushing left and right, very fierce.

After a while, Zong Luohu's array was scattered by Li Shimin, and the soldiers were unable to form a formation, so they each faced the Tang army.

The Tang army attacked inside and outside, and the sound of fighting shook the heavens and the earth, and in a short period of time, the Tang army killed thousands of people in Western Qin.

Zong Luohu's army was captured by the might of the Tang army, demoralized, and fled in rout.

Li Shimin tightened his grip on the reins and gave an order: "The light cavalry will follow me to chase." ”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Dou Liang hurriedly rode out and went to stop Li Shimin's mount.

"Erlang can't."

In a hurry, Dou Liang shouted out his usual name.

He advised bitterly: "Although we have defeated Zong Luohu, the high mound city occupied by Xue Rengao is impregnable and not easy to conquer, so we must not rush forward."

"I suggest that we wait and see what happens to Xue Rengao before we talk about it."

Li Shimin waved his hand, and his attitude was very firm: "Now our army is like a broken bamboo, victory is in sight, and the opportunity cannot be lost.

"Uncle doesn't need to say it anymore, it's up to me."

As the words fell, his legs lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the white hoof crow under his horse galloped away like an arrow from the string, and disappeared in front of everyone in a blink of an eye.

Li Shimin's mother, Empress Taimu Dou, was Dou Liang's cousin, so Li Shimin called her "uncle".

Dou Liang's persuasion failed, so he had to lead his troops to continue to encircle and suppress the remaining Western Qin army.

Qin Shubao and Su Dingfang followed Li Shimin to the front, chasing Zong Luohu all the way until they approached Gaoqi City.

"Stop."

Li Shimin raised his hand and ordered to stop moving forward.

He looked at the opposite side, Xue Rengao led all the soldiers in the city, and waited for the Tang army under the city.

Zong Luohu led the remnants of the army back to Gaoqi City and joined Xue Rengao.

"What's going on?" Xue Rengao angrily asked Zong Luohu.

When Xue Rengao heard the news of the "defeat of the Shallow Water Plains", he subconsciously thought that it was the defeat of the Tang army and the victory of their Western Qin.

But he didn't expect the soldier who reported the news to him: "Your Majesty, we were defeated, and King Yixing was chased and beaten by the Tang army, and he has come to Gaoqi City." ”

Xue Rengao had an expression of disbelief on his face, but Chu Liang reminded him: "Your Majesty, the Tang army has won a great victory, and we must take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Gaoqi City, we must be prepared to meet the Tang army." ”

Therefore, Xue Rengao gathered the army as soon as possible and waited under Gaojaw City.

Zong Luohu lowered his head in shame, "The minister is incompetent, please punish Your Majesty." ”

With defeat in front of him, what else can he say? You can only ask for sin.

"Rubbish!"

Xue Rengao was so angry that he wanted to kill Zong Luohu, but even if he was angry and tyrannical, he knew that he should gather all his strength at this moment to fight against the Tang army, and it was really not appropriate to kill the main general, otherwise it would give the Tang army an opportunity.

Taking a deep breath, Xue Rengao forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "I hope that you can make meritorious service and destroy the Tang Army next." ”

Zong Luohu solemnly promised: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister must go all out to kill Li Shimin and destroy the Tang army." ”

Seeing that he swore an oath, and thinking that only he could help him fight against the Tang army at present, Xue Rengao's anger gradually subsided, and he looked at the Tang army opposite.

Li Shimin did not attack immediately, but relied on Jinghe to set up a position.

Seeing this, Zong Luohu suggested Xue Rengao: "Your Majesty, Li Shimin only has thousands of light cavalry now, and the army has not yet arrived, so it is better for us to take this opportunity to destroy them first." ”

Good idea.

Xue Rengao's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered: "Attack." ”

Hearing the order, Hun Gan, the general of Western Qin, and others immediately led their subordinates to rush towards the Tang army.

Seeing that the Western Qin army on the opposite side rushed towards it violently, it was inevitable that it would be another fierce battle, Li Shimin, Qin Shubao, Su Dingfang and others raised their hands and were about to throw out the flying fish bullets, but they saw that the Western Qin soldiers on the opposite side threw down their weapons one after another, and shouted: "I will come and surrender." ”

Li Shimin was stunned at first, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Okay." ”

Chai Shao was responsible for the incorporation, and immediately led people forward to receive the troops before the battle.

Xue Rengao on the other side was dumbfounded, and then he was furious: "You bastards, I'm going to kill you." ”

"Give them all to me, kill them."

The Western Qin army in the back again rushed to the Tang army.

This time, Li Shimin did not rush to throw the firearm in his hand, but waited for a while, saw that no one disarmed and surrendered, raised his hand and threw the firearm in his hand.

Seeing this, Qin Shubao and Su Dingfang also threw their firearms at the Western Qin army.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang!"

Dust and blood splattered, and the Western Qin soldiers who rushed wildly were blown away.

Looking at the bloody corpses flying in front of him, the Western Qin soldiers behind him were suppressed.

Immediately afterwards, Su Dingfang threw two tear gas canisters at the Western Qin army, and a wail suddenly sounded on the opposite side.

"Ah...... My eyes ......"

Xue Rengao had never been to Luoyang, and when he saw firearms for the first time, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "That...... What is that...... Hidden weapons? ”

Zong Luohu stopped and told Xue Rengao all the information he had learned.

After listening to it, Xue Rengao couldn't help but admire: "This thing is powerful, if only we had it." ”

At this time, a black shadow flew through the smoke and flew towards Xue Rengao.

"Your Majesty, be careful."

Zong Luohu pounced forward and rolled to the side with Xue Rengao.

Exocet bullets grazed over their heads and landed not far behind.

"Bang!"

The dust flew and fell on the backs of Xue Rengao and Zong Luohu, and there was also a splash of blood sprinkled on their clothes, and their faces were ......

After waiting for a while, Xue Rengao wiped the hot blood on his face and turned his head to look behind.

When he saw the corpses strewn across the ground, Xue Rengao felt a sense of rebirth after the catastrophe.

Thankfully, he's not dead.

"Your Majesty, this place is dangerous, let's go into the city." Zong Luohu helped Xue Rengao up and looked vigilantly in the direction of the Tang army.

Xue Rengao didn't speak, shook off Zong Luohu's hand, and ran away.

Zong Rahu: "......"

Everyone: "......"

When the smoke cleared, Li Shimin looked at the city again, there was no shadow of Xue Rengao, except for the soldiers who were killed on the ground, there were no living Western Qin soldiers in the city.

"Haha, they ran away in fright." Hou Junji scoffed unceremoniously.

The surrounding Tang Jun also laughed.

At this time, Chai Shao and Dou Liang led the army to arrive.

Xue Rengao, who was on the city wall, saw this scene and immediately ordered: "Close the city gate, strictly guard it, and don't go out of the city to fight." ”

Zong Luohu remembered that a few days ago, the Tang army still couldn't defend it, but he didn't expect that it would be their turn today, and he couldn't help but feel ironic.

When it was dark, Tang troops from all walks of life arrived one after another, and Li Shimin ordered: "Besiege the city." ”

Soon, the people in the city knew that the Western Qin army had been defeated and the emperor was forced to defend the city.

However, Gaoqi City was firmly surrounded by the Tang army, and the people were panicked and uneasy, and everyone was in danger......
