Chapter 212: Keep a Hand
Thundered!!! ~~~
The earth shook, the sand and dust covered the sky, outside Chang'an City, with two arrows giving orders, suddenly two iron cavalry in iron armor came out from the left and right wings, and slaughtered Li Chengming's Chinese army.
At this time, Li Chengming's army of more than 30,000 and six ninja beasts just rushed to the gate of Chang'an, and the Chinese army only had about 3,000 cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers left at this time.
I have to say that Li Shimin really can't be underestimated, although this tactic is very rough, but the fighter he controls is extremely powerful, and under the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield, he directly grasped the weakness of Li Chengming now.
3,000 cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers, against at least 20,000 iron cavalry, I am afraid that they will be broken and scattered in an instant.
And at this time, even if Li Chengming wanted to order the six-headed ninja beast to come back to support, it was too late, and even showed a big flaw again, because Li Shimin had already ambushed 30,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 iron horsemen outside the city gate at this time, just waiting for Li Chengming to recruit back the six-headed ninja beast, and then he would open the city gate and kill him directly, so that he couldn't care about each other, and directly came to catch turtles in an urn.
Looking at the two torrents of cavalry rushing out from both sides, as well as the more than 10,000 foot soldiers standing alone a few miles away, Li Shimin couldn't help but subconsciously clench his fists, and a smile appeared on his cold and pale face.
"Haha, okay, Your Highness is really clever, in such a situation, there is no place for the traitor to turn over!" Seeing the situation below, a middle-aged man standing next to Li Shimin in a Confucian robe, with a thin figure and three long beards, couldn't help but stroke the long beard on his chin and laughed.
This person's name is Gao Shilian, the uncle of the eldest grandson Wuji, and one of the people who participated in the Xuanwumen Revolution this time, it is precisely because Gao Shilian released some prisoners held in Chang'an City, gave them weapons, and forced them to change the palace with Li Shimin, so Li Shimin was able to get an extra new force.
For Li Chengming outside the city, Gao Shilian naturally hated it very much, after all, the eldest grandson Wuji was his nephew, and he had been respectful to his uncle for so many years, but now he was killed by Li Chengming, how could he not hate it.
……
At this time, in the military array outside Chang'an City, looking at the 20,000 iron horsemen who rushed out from both wings, Xue Wanche and Luo Ning, who originally thought that victory was in sight, suddenly changed their faces.
"It's not good, Your Highness, Li Shimin's traitor actually ambushed a large number of cavalry on both sides!" Luo Ning looked at the torrent of iron horses rushing not far away, his face changed, and then he rode his horse in front of Li Chengming and said, "Please also ask Your Highness to recall the immortal beasts attacking the city first, with the power of the immortal beasts, it is enough to defeat these attacking rebels!" ”
"No, you can't withdraw!" At this time, Xue Wanche had already rushed over on horseback, and when he heard Luo Ning's words, Xue Wanche hurriedly stopped, "Your Highness, you can't recall the immortal beast at this time, judging from the end of the future, this must be Li Shimin's conspiracy." Li Shimin must have ambushed a large army behind the city gate at this time, if Your Highness summons the immortal beast at this time, the ambushed forces in the city gate will definitely rush out, and then we will be besieged on three sides. ”
"Then what to do, with our current people, we can't resist these two iron horses at all. No, it is still necessary to put the safety of His Highness first, and ask His Highness to recall the immortal beasts, and first repel these two iron horses! Hearing Xue Wanche's words, Luo Ning also shook his head and looked at Li Chengming anxiously.
"Your Highness, please think again!" Xue Wanche was also anxious at this time, he had already seen the situation in the battlefield at this time, if he really recalled the six-headed ninja beast, it was really Li Shimin's plan.
Don't look at the six-headed ninja beast that looks very strong, but in the face of thousands of troops, no matter how strong this ninja beast is, how strong can it be?
The strength of the wild boar, Xue Wanche knows it very well. Although the boar may seem extremely powerful, the real threat is only its massive body and its invulnerability to running and impact.
But in this way, among thousands of troops, the six ninja beasts can't be truly invincible, after all, if they are enemies, as long as they are prepared, Xue Wanche even has a way to limit the ability of these wild boars to move, and it is not difficult to strangle them in the end.
And now, among these thousands of troops, Li Shimin's people don't even need to target these six ninja beasts, they only need to drag them a little, and then shoot Li Chengming with random arrows, and capture the king first, so their plan to counterattack Chang'an this time will naturally fail.
"Your Highness, the only plan for today is to directly lead the army into Chang'an City with the six immortal beasts, as long as you enter Chang'an, then Li Shimin's siege will naturally be solved." Xue Wanche thought about it for a while, and could only think of this way.
"No, Xue Wanche, at this time, the walls of Chang'an are already covered with bows and crossbows, if it passes at this time, His Highness will ......"
"Okay, okay, shut up for this king!" Seeing that neither of them could convince anyone, Li Chengming interrupted them directly.
These two people really had big hearts, and by this time, the cavalry attacking on both sides was not even more than two miles away from them, and they were still arguing.
Although Xue Wanche and Luo Ning actually have no selfish intentions, Luo Ning proposed to recall the ninja beast for his safety, and Xue Wanche did not agree because he started from the overall situation of the entire battlefield, but neither of the two let anyone, could they quarrel until the enemy arrived?
Li Chengming glanced at the two tens of thousands of iron horsemen rushing from a distance, less than two miles away from them, and a sneer flashed on the corner of his mouth.
"Xue Wanche, Luo Ning, listen to the order!" Li Chengming suddenly spoke up at this time.
"The last general!" After hearing Li Chengming's words, Xue Wanche and Luo Ning glanced at each other, and then stepped forward to clasp their fists and bow down to obey the order.
"Each of you will lead a thousand light horsemen and 5,000 troops to snipe the two teams of soldiers and horses!" Li Chengming said, "Don't worry, this king didn't let you go to death, this king will let the two immortal beasts help you defeat the enemy army." ”
"No, Your Highness, if we recall the immortal beasts now, then we will fall into Li Shimin's trap." Hearing Li Chengming's words, Xue Wanche was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded with Li Chengming again.
"Hehe, who said that this king is going to recall the immortal beasts?" Li Chengming smiled coldly, glanced at the faintly visible figure above the Chang'an City Tower, and then said, "Does Li Shimin think that this king doesn't know his tricks?" However, if he is to be disappointed, there are more than six immortal beasts in the hands of this king......"
After speaking, Li Chengming waved his hand, and suddenly, a wind rose in the void, rolling up the sand and dust on the ground, and then four huge figures appeared in front of everyone's eyes......
