Everyone kept nodding, and the marshal made sense.

Li Shimin smiled confidently at everyone: "I bet with you that as long as it is past noon, I will definitely be able to defeat them." ”

Li Shimin, who was full of confidence, gave the generals a reassurance.

When the Xia army reached the edge of the river, Dou Jiande ordered to stop moving forward and wanted to send cavalry to challenge the Tang army.

Wang Wan stood up and said to Dou Jiande: "King Xia, you are here to save my dynasty from the crisis this time, please allow me to fight and act as a striker." ”

Dou Jiande agreed and sent 300 cavalry to Wang Wan.

Wang Wan confidently led three hundred cavalry, crossed the river, stopped one mile away from the Tang army camp, and sent someone to send a message to Li Shimin: "I heard that the king of Qin's subordinates are like clouds, but I don't believe it, the king of Qin might as well send a few hundred people, let's have a try." ”

Li Shimin stood on a high place and looked out, and snorted: "But only three hundred people, dare to provoke?" ”

Although he planned to hold his troops still, if the enemy came to provoke, if he did not respond, it would damage the prestige of the Tang army.

Moreover, he did not respond at all, and if the enemy army retreated, wouldn't his previous efforts be in vain?

So, Li Shimin sent Duan Zhixuan to lead two hundred cavalry to the battle.

The two armies clashed, you attacked and defended, you retreated and I advanced, and the battle was very fierce.

In the end, the two sides returned to their respective stations without a win.

But the Xia army did not retreat because of this, Wang Wan rode a green horse and walked leisurely towards the Tang army camp.

At a position that the Tang army couldn't attack, Wang Wan stopped, pointed to the brand-new armor on his body and said: "Let me tell you, the armor on my body is the latest to build, invulnerable, invulnerable, and much more powerful than your armor."

"It's not just me who has such armor, but the soldiers of Zheng and Xia have such armor, you can't beat us."

Then he pointed down to his mount: "And my horse, which can travel thousands of miles a day and leap into an abyss two feet wide......

When Wang Junkuo heard these ostentatious words, and saw Wang Wan's arrogance, he couldn't help but say: "It's just a pair of armor and a horse, what is there to show off?"

"The horse is blue and white, the color of the horse's hair is not pure, it is not a good horse at first glance, and it is still a thousand miles away?

"Whew!"

Li Shimin held the binoculars, through the lenses, stared at Wang Wan's mount, he said: "I have seen that horse, it used to be Yang Guang's mount.

"Whether it can travel thousands of miles in a day, I don't know, but that horse is a good horse."

Wang Junkuo: "......"

As everyone knows, Li Shimin likes to collect BMWs the most, and if he can get a compliment, it must be a good horse.

Wei Chi Jingde said: "I will go and take the horse and present it to the marshal." ”

"No." Li Shimin hurriedly put down the binoculars and stopped Wei Chi Jingde: "How can you lose a fierce general for the sake of a horse?" ”

Wei Chi Jingde raised his eyebrows, and his tone was disdainful: "How can a mere horse stump me?" ”

Before the words fell, he turned around and left.

"I'll go too." Gao Yongsheng chased after him.

Seeing this, Liang Jianfang picked up his weapon and followed.

Li Shimin did not stop it.

So, Wei Chi Jingde, Gao Yongsheng, and Liang Jianfang rode out of the camp, like thunder and lightning quickly rushing towards Wang Wan.

Wang Wan's heart trembled when he saw their fierce and vicious appearances, and by the time he reacted and drove his horse away, it was too late.

Wei Chi Jingde swung his horse lance violently and knocked him off his horse with a single shot.

Gao Yongsheng and Liang Jianfang crossed Wang Wan and rushed directly to the guards behind him.

However, in a few moves, Wang Wan was captured and his personal guards were killed.

Wei Chi Jingde and the three took Wang Wan and led the green horse back to the Tang army camp. During the whole process, the Xia army cavalry who followed Wang Wan out only watched from a distance, and did not dare to come forward to rescue.

Li Shimin did not blame Wei Chi Jingde, but praised the three of them.

After a few praises, Li Shimin said to Wei Chi Jingde: "You go and call the horse back, and when you come back, we will go to war." ”

"Yes, Marshal."

Thinking of what Li Shimin said before, after noon, he would have a decisive battle with the Xia army, and Wei Chi Jingde did not dare to delay for a moment, and galloped wildly.

......

When the eldest grandson An Shi saw that Wang Wan was captured by the Tang army, he asked Dou Jiande: "King Xia, please give the order for a general attack." ”

Dou Jiande hesitated, he was silent for a moment, and said, "Wait a little longer." ”

And so he waited from morning to noon.

The soldiers set out at the same time, and lined up for several hours, and were already hungry and exhausted, so they sat down one after another, and scrambled to find water to drink.

At this time, many soldiers had the idea of retreating, but did not dare to speak.

Li Shimin saw this scene through the telescope, and his heart was overjoyed, and he ordered Yu Wenshi: "You lead three hundred Xuanjia army cavalry, close to the west of the Xia army, and then gallop south."

"If Xia Jun doesn't move, you will return the same way; If the Xia army makes a move, you will advance to the east. ”

Yu Wenshi and firmly memorized, and set off.

The soldiers on the west side of the Xia army were fetching water to drink, when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, hurriedly threw away the kettle and picked up their weapons.

"The Tang army is coming, the Tang army is coming......" There was a noise from the front.

The team was shouting: "Attack, kill them, make a meritorious battle." ”

The soldiers, armed with their weapons in hand, rushed forward.

Seeing that Xia Jun was chasing after him, Yu Wenshi immediately changed direction and galloped eastward.

The Xia soldiers were in hot pursuit.

Li Shimin, who was standing on a high place, saw this scene, put away his binoculars, and ordered: "Pass the order and attack with all your might." ”

At this time, Wei Chi Jingde ran over: "Marshal, the war horse has been recalled." ”

Li Shimin slapped him on the shoulder: "You came back too timely, go, start a war." ”

The army had already eaten and drunk enough, and after the assembly was completed, Li Shimin's order was given, and they set off immediately.

Li Shimin led the light cavalry in the front, and the other armies followed, and the large army crossed the river to the east and rushed straight into the enemy's position.

......

"Lord, it's not a way for us to stay here for so long, either to attack or to retreat." Ling Jing said to Dou Jiande, his face was full of anxiety that could not be concealed.

The eldest grandson, An Shi, followed Ling Jing's words and said, "Yes, King Xia, the time is not waiting for anyone, it's time to launch a general attack." ”

"That ....."

As soon as Dou Jiande spit out a word, Liu Ya ran over in a panic: "Lord...... Lord, it's not good...... Li Shimin called. ”

"What?"

Dou Jiande stood up suddenly, and then, he heard the sound of fighting.

The surrounding cavalry quickly rushed over and guarded Dou Jiande's front.

The courtiers who had originally discussed the war with Dou Jiande were in chaos at the moment, and when they saw that Dou Jiande was protected by cavalry, they rushed towards Dou Jiande one by one.

"Hurry up and defend against the Tang Army." Dou Jiande gave the order to the cavalry.

The cavalry moved forward, but was blocked by the courtiers.

Dou Jiande shouted at the courtiers again: "Get out of the way and let them resist the Tang army." ”

Hearing this, the courtiers retreated to both sides, making way for the middle.

However, after this toss, Li Shimin had already led the cavalry to the front of the battle.

As he drew his bow, he shouted, "Kill! ”

"Kill ......"

The officers and soldiers of the Tang Army responded one after another, but the movements in their hands did not stop.

The killing has begun......
