The empress is self-aware and does not interfere with the general's command of the army, and knowing people well has always been the empress's advantage. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Eight or nine miles away, the Tang army, composed of 50,000 foot soldiers and 8,000 cavalry, stopped, and in the dense military formation, swords and guns were like a forest, banners covered the sky, and dozens of generals surrounded Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is strong and I am weak, it is better to hold on first, consume the enemy's army, look for fighters, and then fight a decisive battle." A senior general suggested.

This set of tactics of first holding on, consuming the enemy's troops, looking for fighters, and then fighting a decisive battle is Li Shimin's habitual tactic for a long time; specifically, he first stubbornly defended himself, consumed the enemy's strength and sharpness, and when the time came, let the frontal troops engage the enemy first, so that the enemy's sharp spirit would be frustrated.

At the critical moment, the light cavalry attacked and harassed the enemy's two wings, and the heavy cavalry assaulted, causing the enemy army to be in chaos, and finally took advantage of the victory to pursue, and beat the water dogs in one blow, without giving the enemy any respite, and completely wiped out. Li Shimin won more with less, tried and tested, and he had a lot of experience, and the generals were also used to this tactic, but this time it was different.

Li Shimin shook his head, "No, today is different from the past, the enemy came too suddenly, the total number of soldiers in the pass is less than 100,000, and there are still garrisons here, all the people who can be mobilized are here, and this battle must be resolved quickly." ”

As a master-level military strategist, Li Shimin clearly knows the disadvantages of the large corps, sometimes the more people there are, the more miserable they lose, especially in the plains, once the commander of the army fails to command, the whole army collapses, it is very easy, and when he encounters a charismatic general, like Xiang Yu, he will naturally not be chaotic.

When encountering an army with strict military discipline, it will not be chaotic, but the Zhou army on the opposite side is not, the Zhou army is an army composed of the government military system, and the soldiers of this army are all peasants before the war, and in the absence of famous generals, they are forcibly assaulted by the enemy, and it is easy to collapse.

The generals of the "quick battle" are not calm, less than 60,000 against 300,000 people, and they have to fight a quick battle, which is simply a fantasy.

The generals could not understand Li Shimin's strategy, the reason for this situation is that the famous generals of the older generation are either dead, or they have returned to their hometowns, and most of the famous generals of the new generation are in the border areas, and those who stay in the capital are either the second generation of officials or mediocre people, and it can be said that it is difficult to keep up with Li Shimin's thinking.

The reaction of the generals made Li Shimin very disappointed, this time it was extraordinary, and he could no longer follow the previous tactics, a tall and vague figure flashed in Li Shimin's mind, the former Sui famous general Yang Su, Li Shimin planned to learn from Yang Su's combat methods.

"Send 300 men to fight first"

What the? The generals are even more unsettled, Your Majesty is not confused, and he actually sent 300 people to fight, isn't this sent to death.

"Send 300 people to fight first," Li Shimin said categorically.

Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chigong and other older figures were not there, and no one dared to persuade Li Shimin.

After the two pillars of incense, 50,000 people from the front army of the Zhou army came to the front of the Tang army.

The general of the Zhou army watched the formation of the Tang army for a while, and sighed that it was really a strong enemy, how could such a majestic army appear on the bank of Weishui for no reason, it was really a strange thing, and the leader of the army was wearing golden armor and waving the dragon flag, something was wrong, I had never heard of someone calling him the emperor!

At this time, three hundred people came out of the camp of the Tang army, all of whom were wearing heavy armor.

This is? The generals of the Zhou army laughed, three hundred people went to battle, is it stupid to lead the army.

With a wave of his hand, the general of "Arrow" pressed a rain of arrows against the soldiers who charged the Tang Army.

"Kill"

"Kill"

"Kill"

"Kill"

……

……

Three hundred armored soldiers of the Tang Army shouted and charged, and in the process of the charge, people kept falling, and then getting up, falling, getting up, falling, falling, getting up, getting up, getting up, getting up,

In the end, there were only a dozen Tang soldiers left, running towards the main formation, and when they were a hundred steps away from the main formation, Li Shimin raised his hand, and the same arrows rained down, and more than a dozen soldiers were shot dead on the spot.

"Send another three hundred people," Li Shimin said coldly.

The faces of most of the generals became ugly, and only a few of the older generals understood Li Shimin's intentions, because this tactic had been used by Yang Su, a famous Sui general, and they were fortunate to have seen it. Similar tactics were used in the Spring and Autumn Period, King Goujian of Yue, Yang Su used this tactic to defeat countless opponents, and King Goujian of Yue used similar tactics to defeat King Wu Lu.

Three hundred Tang troops walked out of the army formation again, and the Zhou army camp was in a commotion.

The general of the Zhou army waved the military flag in his hand, and the herald shook it with the banner, and a battalion of archers on the right side of the Zhou army walked out and shot at the sky.

Arrows rained down, and this time the Tang army's attack still failed, but it did not flee back, because it was difficult to escape death if it escaped back.

The third time, three hundred Tang troops went to war......

rushed to the front of the Zhou military camp fifty steps,

For the fourth time, three hundred Tang troops went to war......

Rushed to the first ten steps of the Zhou military camp

For the fifth time, three hundred Tang troops went to battle......

Stormed the camp of the Zhou army, killing and wounding dozens of people

The speed of the Tang army's sorties is getting faster and faster

For the sixth time, three hundred Tang troops went to battle......

Stormed the camp of the Zhou army, killing and wounding two hundred people

For the seventh time, three hundred Tang troops went to war......

Stormed the camp of the Zhou army, killing and wounding 400 people

The smile on the face of General Zhou Jun froze, and he understood that the Tang Army was not a fool, and the Tang Army was not using human lives to consume bows and arrows, the Tang Army was taking the courage and the courage of the soldiers.

The general of the Zhou army expected that tens of thousands of Zhou troops had been frightened by the attack of the Tang army.

For the eighth time, three hundred Tang troops went to battle......

rushed into the camp of the Zhou army, forcing the general of the Zhou army to retreat, and as soon as the general retreated, Shuai Qi also retreated, and the 50,000 front troops of the Zhou army also retreated.

"Don't retreat, engage the battle, engage the battle!"

General Zhou Jun was going crazy, originally to take advantage, but he didn't expect to be fooled.

"The cavalry attacked, disrupting the enemy's formation from the flanks, the foot soldiers followed, and the Xuanjia elite soldiers charged with me." Li Shimin finally gave the order for the whole army to attack.

Thousands of heavy cavalry in armor and soap clothes rushed out of the Tang army's camp, followed behind Li Shimin, and rushed into the Zhou army's camp like a torrent.

In the melee, the main general of the Zhou army could no longer command the whole army, and the 50,000 army was beaten by the wolf rush of the Xuanjia elite soldiers, and the Tang army that followed up quickly encroached on the front army of the Zhou army, and the 50,000 Zhou army either surrendered or fled backwards, and the Zhou army in the rear was also scattered.

The front army is scattered!

The Chinese army is scattered!

Like a plague, fear spread throughout the front and middle armies of the Zhou army.

On the battlefield that stretched for more than ten miles, the Tang army of less than 60,000 killed the 200,000 troops of the front army of the Zhou army and the Chinese army, and the generals of the Zhou army fell into despair and led their subordinates to surrender.

Seeing this, the empress on the side of the Wei Bridge decisively led the rear army of 100,000 people to retreat.
