Li Shimin stood on a high place, holding a telescope to observe the enemy situation in Gaoqi City.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who was accompanying him, saw the corners of his mouth raised, with a faint smile, and asked, "Marshal, is it time for us to attack?" ”

"Wait."

Li Shimin put away the binoculars and ordered: "Yin Kaishan, Hou Junji, you stay and continue to observe." ”

Then he returned to the camp with the escort.

Chai Shao guarded the barracks for more than a month, and when he saw that Li Shimin was as stable as Mount Tai and was not in a hurry at all, he couldn't help but say: "Marshal, we have been guarding for more than a month, and the Western Qin army has already been arrogant and rioting, and it's time to attack." ”

If they continue to defend it, not only the Western Qin army will be manic, but their Tang army will probably also be manic.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at Li Shimin and did not speak, but the meaning revealed in their eyes was obvious, that is, it was time for the Tang army to attack.

"No hurry, wait."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the expectation in everyone's eyes disappeared instantly, and was replaced by restlessness.

How long will it last?

Just when everyone was silent, Qin Shubao walked in quickly, with a happy smile on his face: "Marshal, someone from Western Qin has come to surrender." ”

Here it comes.

Li Shimin was overjoyed, got up and walked out: "Go and see." ”

Those who came to surrender were the guards of Longxi Shanzhou and Kuozhou, each of whom took tens of thousands of his subordinates and fell to the ground: "We are willing to belong to the Tang Dynasty and serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

The smile in Li Shimin's eyes deepened, and he immediately ordered Chai Shao to collect these troops.

Returning to the big tent again, the eldest grandson Wuji said to Li Shimin: "Marshal, Xue Rengao has been guarding Gaoqi City, and his father's body has not been buried, and the people of Western Qin have long been dissatisfied. Now that the soldiers are separated, it is a good time for us to attack. ”

I have to say that the eldest grandson Wuji is very good at observing words and feelings, and when Li Shimin saw the Western Qin generals who came to surrender, Li Shimin knew that the time he had been waiting for had come.

Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji at this moment, Li Shimin couldn't help but cast an appreciative look at him, and smiled slightly: "That's right, our opportunity has come." ”

Then, Li Shimin's face changed, and he said solemnly: "Qu Tutong and Liu Wenjing listen to the order." ”

Qu Tutong came out of the ranks: "The last will be." ”

Liu Wenjing came out: "The subordinates are here." ”

"You lead 30,000 elites to enter the shallow water plain immediately, remember, you can't defend it."

"Yes."

-----------

Finally waited for the Tang army to move, Xue Rengao was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Zong Luohu: "I will give you 100,000 elites, and you must destroy the Tang army in one battle." ”

Zong Luohu immediately led 100,000 elite troops to the shallow water plain.

When he arrived at the shallow water plain, Zong Luohu did not stop for a moment, and immediately launched an attack on Qu Tutong's camp.

Qu Tutong adhered to Li Shimin's military orders, but could not hold out, and with 30,000 against 100,000, he resisted Zong Luohu's fierce attacks again and again.

After several days of fierce fighting, Zong Luohu never managed to capture the shallow water plain, and he was so angry that he scolded: "He yes, it was clear that he fought very easily last time, why is it so difficult to fight this time?" ”

After the anger, Zong Luohu issued a death order: "Attack with all your strength, today we must take the shallow water plain, destroy the Tang army, and never die." ”

Most of the soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty were from Longxi, and the soldiers were very fierce, and after receiving the military order of "never dying", they made a lot of effort and launched a fierce attack on the Tang army camp.

At this time, the water source of Qu Tutong's shallow water original camp was cut off, the men and horses had not been flooded for two days, and the soldiers had chapped lips and smoke in their throats, unable to speak.

The horse lay on the ground, unable to run.

In the face of another onslaught from Western Qin, Qu Tutong ordered: "Use firearms." ”

His army did not receive many firearms, and Qu Tutong would not order them to be used unless it was absolutely necessary, but now the situation was critical and he could not use them.

"Bang!"

The Flying Fish bomb was thrown and landed in the Western Qin army, and the soldiers were blown away.

"Bang!"

The smoke grenade followed, and the choking smoke emitted after landing quickly dispersed, encircling the forward troops of Western Qin.

The forward troops were suddenly thrown into confusion, and the wails continued.

"He's yes, aren't these things unique to King Xia? Why does the Tang Army also have it? ”

Zong Luohu was in a backward position, and quickly retreated before the smoke could fill up.

Looking at the smoke in front of him and listening to the wails of his own people, Zong Luohu clenched his fists with hatred, but he did not give the order to retreat, but shouted loudly: "They don't have many weapons, and when they run out of these, they won't be there, everyone obeys the order and rushes to me." ”

When the soldiers heard the order, they rushed forward without their lives.

Because they found out that, except for the loud hidden weapon that would kill people, those hidden weapons that could emit smoke would not hurt people, at most they would stimulate tears in the eyes and obstruct vision. But get out of the smoke and you'll be fine.

War will inevitably have casualties, what is this sacrifice?

Zong Luohu boosted morale: "The Tang army's food and water sources have been cut off, they have no reinforcements, as long as we hold on a little longer, we will definitely be able to destroy the Tang army." ”

When the soldiers heard this, they were full of strength again, and the attack became more and more fierce.

Liang Shi, the general of the Tang Army, saw that the firearms were gradually decreasing, and the soldiers were constantly suffering casualties, and he was anxious, and couldn't help but ask Qu Tutong: "When will the marshal act?" We're running out of ideas. ”

"If you can't hold on, you have to persevere." Liu Wenjing raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his face, and said: "After fighting for so many days, Xiqin has also been almost consumed, and the marshal will act soon."

"As long as we hold on a little longer, the victory will be ours."

This time, they can't afford to lose again.

If the army is defeated again this time, I am afraid it will not be as simple as losing the official position and abandoning the knight, but facing the risk of being beheaded.

What's more, he no longer has an official title to recall, and others may still have a glimmer of life, but he doesn't, he has only a dead end.

Qu Tutong glanced at Liu Wenjing, knowing his current situation very well, but Qu Tutong didn't want to be defeated.

"Pass the order, give me the right to defend it, and the reinforcements will arrive soon."

After holding out for another day, the firearms ran out, and the Tang soldiers went into battle again and fought fiercely with the Western Qin army.

At this time, Li Shimin issued an order for a general attack, led the remaining Tang army, and poured out.

The little soldier hurriedly ran to Zong Luohu and said breathlessly: "Report, the Tang army has appeared in the rear and is coming towards us." ”

Zong Luohu was stunned: "How many people came?" ”

"A lot."

“......”

Hearing these two words, Zong Luohu was angry and anxious, scolded the little soldier, and turned the horse's head to explore the enemy's situation.

He found that the Don army had arrived in his rear and was attacking in formation.

Zong Luohu immediately gave an order: "Continue to attack here, and the others will follow me to the rear." ”

Attacking the Western Qin army in the rear were Tang generals Pang Yu and Yin Kaishan, who led a part of the heavy cavalry and infantry and launched a fierce attack.

However, the Western Qin soldiers were very brave, and when they hit the back, Pang Yu and Yin Kaishan were invincible and retreated again and again.

Zong Luohu was overjoyed, he knew that the Tang army was defeated by Western Qin, so he led the army to pursue Pang Yu violently.

"Kill!"
