Chapter 256 Brave and Handsome Lynx

Li Yuanji has become an adult, and his martial arts have increased greatly in recent years, and a horse lance is particularly exquisite.

Li Yuan felt that he should also be trained with the army, so he asked Li Yuanji to go to Luoyang with Li Shimin.

------

On July 21, the third year of Wude, Li Shimin led his army to Xin'an County in the west of Luoyang.

He sent the vanguard Luo Shixin to take the lead in besieging Cijian Fort, and Wang Shichong personally led 30,000 troops to rescue Cijian.

At this time, Wang Shichong had abolished Yang Tong, the little emperor of Sui Emperor Tai, and ascended the throne as emperor himself, with the country name Zheng.

------

As soon as Li Shimin left the expedition, Guanyin found that she was pregnant again, and in more than two years, Guanyin was pregnant with her third child.

In the case of physical discomfort, Guanyin is still worried about Li Shimin, who is on the expedition.

Before the expedition, although she explained to Li Shimin not to take risks lightly, she knew Li Shimin's temper, which made her still not at ease with Li Shimin.

------

At the time of parting, Li Shimin assured Guanyin that he was very good, but as soon as he arrived in front of the two armies, Li Shimin made the old mistake and left Guanyin's words behind.

As soon as Wang Shichong's army arrived at Cijian Fort, Li Shimin led a dozen cavalry to check the enemy's situation in front of the battle, just as he did in Huzhou, Hedong.

Li Shimin led people to look around Cijian Fort, pointing at the fort while watching, and treating the tens of thousands of Wang Shichong's troops in the fort as nothing.

-----

Perhaps it was Li Shimin's behavior that annoyed Wang Shichong, and suddenly the south gate and the west gate were wide open, and hundreds of horsemen galloped out of the fort.

The guards who followed Li Shimin were afraid that the king would make a mistake, so they hurriedly said to Li Shimin, "The king, the enemy is overwhelming, should we leave quickly?"

Li Shimin laughed and said, "If we leave now, I will wait in front and flee, and the enemy will chase after me, then it will not be a desert and flee." Don't panic, let them see how powerful this king is."

------

In an instant, hundreds of enemy cavalry approached Li Shimin and others, forming an encirclement of Li Shimin and others.

Li Shimin took off the thunderbolt bow on his back, and urged his horse to take the lead and rush towards the enemy, and more than a dozen people galloped and shot, and dozens of enemy soldiers were killed in an instant.

The enemy cavalry saw that Li Shimin and others were brave, and the momentum of rushing forward was suffocated.

------

Li Shimin saw that the enemy's cavalry had slowed down, and he said to the guards beside him, "Follow this king and prepare to rush westward, or wait for them to form a circle after a while, and we will become a living target."

After speaking, Li Shimin clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and galloped westward, galloping forward with a bow and arrows, and several people fell off the horse in front of the enemy.

Li Shimin saw that an enemy general was directing his subordinates to encircle Li Shimin and others, he slapped his hand on the back of the horse, stepped off the yellow horse and accelerated towards the enemy general.

------

The yellow horse is also a BMW, and it rushed to the enemy general in an instant, and the enemy general stabbed with a lance, and Li Shimin used an eight-sided black gold steel lance to open the enemy's lance, and then swung the lance to the opponent's horse's head.

The horse was hit hard and fell suddenly, Li Shimin took advantage of the situation to reach out with his left hand and grab the leather belt around the waist of the enemy general, and the enemy general was taken away at a gallop.

Li Shimin put the enemy general horizontally in front of the saddle, and the enemy general still wanted to struggle, Li Shimin held it down with his hand and warned him, "Stay honest, otherwise this king will open your head with a lance."

------

The enemy general did not dare to move again, so Li Shimin raised his gun into the air and shouted to the enemy soldiers who intercepted him, "If there is any more obstruction, you will be killed."

The one who was captured by Li Shimin was Yan Qi, the general of Zuo Jianwei in Wang Shichong's army, who was a military general of the third grade.

The enemy sergeants saw that dozens of accomplices were killed by arrows in the blink of an eye, and the generals led by them were captured by the other party, and one by one they had the intention of cowardly fighting.

Li Shimin struck the horse's belly with a lance, the yellow horse rushed forward, and more than a dozen cavalrymen guarded Li Shimin on both sides, raising a puff of smoke and dust, and carrying the captured Zuo Jianwei general Yan Qi to the west.

------

Before Li Shimin and his entourage returned to Tangyingzhai, their faces were already dusty and unrecognizable.

The gatekeeper shouted, "Who's coming?"

Li Shimin stopped his mount, took off his battle helmet, bent his arms, wiped the dust and stains on his face with his sleeves, and said to the gatekeeper, "I am the King of Qin."

When the gatekeeper saw that it was Li Shimin, the king of Qin, he opened the gate of the camp and let them in.

------

On the second day, Li Shimin personally led 50,000 cavalry to Cijian Fort.

As soon as Wang Shichong first fought, he lost a general, which was already a setback.

Now that Li Shimin led a large army to arrive, Wang Shichong saw that Cijian Fort could not be defended for a long time, so he ordered the whole army to withdraw from Cijian Fort and return to Luoyang with his troops.

------

After Wang Shichong withdrew from Cirun Fort, Li Shimin and his subordinate generals agreed on a strategy to attack Luoyang, and still adopted the strategy of besieging but not attacking.

Li Shimin's idea was to first annex Henan Prefecture to which Wang Shichong belonged, and finally make Luoyang an isolated city.

------

Li Shimin sent Shi Wanbao, the head of the march, to be stationed at Longmen in the south of Luoyang;

sent the general Liu Dewei to besiege Hanoi County from the east of Taihang;

sent the prince of the valley to cut off his grain road in Luokou, Donggong County, Luoyang;

Huang Junhan, the governor of Huaizhou, was sent to attack Huiluocang City, northeast of Luoyang.

Li Shimin led a large army and stationed it in Pishan, north of Luoyang.

So as to form a situation of encirclement of Luoyang.

------

In August, Huang Junhan captured Huiluocang City, and Liu Dewei occupied Huaizhou.

Wang Shichong's governor Shi Zhanggong offered the state city to surrender.

Dengzhou tyrants tied up Wang Shichong's Dengzhou assassination history, and the whole state came to surrender.

In September, Wang Shichong Xianzhou governor Tian Hao led the 25 prefectures to surrender; Wang Shichong Weizhou Shi Shi Derui, Shuai Department Qi, Xia, Chen, Sui, Xu, Ying, Wei seven states to surrender.

Since then, there has been an endless stream of people coming to Henan Prefecture to which Wang Shichong belongs.

------

When Li Shimin conquered Liu Wuzhou, several of Liu Wuzhou's subordinate generals surrendered to Li Shimin, and many of these people later defected.

Qu Tutong and Yin Kaishan suspected that Wei Chi Jingde had defected, so they imprisoned him and said to Li Shimin, "Wei Chi Jingde is extremely brave and has the courage of ten thousand people, if he escapes and is used by others, it will be a trouble, so it is better to kill him."

Li Shimin disagreed with Qu Tutong and Yin Kaishan's suggestions, and said to the two, "If Wei Chi Jingde wanted to defect, he would have fled a long time ago, so would he wait until today?"

------

Li Shimin ordered someone to release Wei Chi Jingde, invited him to his account, and said to Wei Chi Jingde, "Jiang Guogong Qu Tutong was also a general of the former dynasty, and he had no malicious intent in imprisoning General Wei Chi, but he was looking forward to working with the general to create the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. I hope General Wei Chi will be considerate."

After that, Li Shimin took out a basket of gold and handed it to Wei Chi Jingde, "If General Wei Chi thinks that Xiao Wang is not talented and really wants to leave, Xiao Wang will give it as a gift of gold, and the general will take it as a coil." Let Xiao Wang show his love for the work he once had."

Wei Chi Jingde is a loyal and upright person, not many words, but his heart is sincere, seeing Li Shimin treat each other with sincerity, he said gratefully, "Jingde thanks the king for his kindness, and he will swear to repay him."

------

In September, one day, Li Shimin led 500 elite horsemen to climb the tomb of Emperor Xuanwu of Wei to check the terrain of the battlefield.

Wang Shichong led tens of thousands of cavalry to raid, and instantly surrounded Li Shimin and others.

Wang Shichong's subordinate general Shan Xiongxin, the prancing horse and the lance rushed directly towards Li Shimin, and Yu Chi Jingde killed from the side and intercepted forward.

Shan Xiongxin and Yu Chi Jingde fought less than two together, that is, they were stabbed by Yu Chi Jingde and fell off the horse.

------

Shan Xiongxin is the first brave general under Wang Shichong, and he was as famous as Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie in Wagangzhai that year.

Wang Shichong's army saw that Shan Xiongxin was defeated by Wei Chi Jingde in less than two combinations, and they were all afraid.

Wei Chi Jingde turned his horse back to Li Shimin and asked, "King, what should I do next?"

Li Shimin pointed to the Tang army's camp in the distance, "I'll kill them together."

------

Wei Chi Jingde protected Li Shimin on the flank, and five hundred cavalry rushed north together, and they broke out of the encirclement in an instant.

Li Shimin reined in his horse and looked at the enemy army behind him, and said to Wei Chi Jingde with a smile, "Do you dare to kill back together?"

Wei Chi Jingde didn't seem to have killed him, and laughed loudly, "What are you afraid of?"

Li Shimin and Wei Chi Jingde once again led the cavalry to kill back to the enemy formation, brave and handsome, heroic and dry, and rushed to kill together, as if entering a no-man's land.

------

Jiang Guogong Qu Tutong thought that Li Shimin was in danger, and led a large army out of the camp, Wang Shichong's army was already collapsed, Qu Tutong's army arrived, tens of thousands of soldiers had lost their fighting spirit, and they were captured.

Wang Shichong only led a small cavalry to escape, was beheaded by the Tang army more than 1,000 ranks, captured 6,000 infantry, and captured the champion general Chen Zhiluo.

------

After returning from victory, Li Shimin said to Wei Chi Jingde, "The general said that he swore to die and wanted to repay it, but he didn't expect it to be reported so quickly."

In order to reward Wei Chi Jingde's military exploits, Li Shimin gave him another golden basket.

Since then, Li Shimin has been favored by Wei Chi Jingde and has become an inseparable warrior by Li Shimin's side.

------

In the following months of this year, Li Shimin still besieged Luoyang instead of attacking, but attacked and annexed the surrounding states and counties of Luoyang.

At that time, Wang Shichong, the crown prince of Wang Xuanying, guarded the Tiger Prison Pass, the eastern gateway of Luoyang. Its jurisdiction of Rongzhou, Yangcheng, Songzhou, Bianzhou, has been dropped. When Wang Xuanying heard that all the states had surrendered to the Tang army, he was terrified and abandoned the Tiger Prison Pass and fled back to Luoyang.

In November, Li Shimin ordered Sima Li Daliang of Jinzhou to attack Fancheng and capture Wang Shichong's subordinate Fu and Hua Prefectures.

In December, Wang Shichong's eleven prefectures, including Xu and Bo, all asked Li Shimin to surrender.

------

By the end of the third year of Wude, Luoyang had become an isolated city.

Wang Shichong sent his nephew Wang Wan to contact Dou Jiande, who at that time occupied many prefectures and counties in Shandong and Hebei, and called himself King Xia.

Wang Wan told Dou Jiande that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, and said to Dou Jiande, "If the Tang army captures Luoyang, Zheng will die, and Xia will not be able to survive alone."

Dou Jiande's subordinates agreed with what Wang Wan said, so Dou Jiande sent an envoy to Luoyang, promising Wang Shichong an alliance between the two sides and agreeing to send troops to rescue Luoyang.

------

Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande planned very well, but they didn't expect that Dou Jiande would be tantamount to throwing himself into the net.

Dou Jiande originally planned to relieve his predicament by assisting Wang Shichong, but was captured by Tang Junsheng.
