In later generations, a great man once said that Li Shimin was the emperor with the highest martial arts in all dynasties.

If anyone wants to verify it, they can flip through the history books.

Li Shimin was not only able to command hundreds of thousands of troops to strategize, but also often charged into battle and took the lead.

In the first month of the fourth year of Wude, just after the New Year, Li Shimin personally led the Xuanjia soldiers of the Tang Army and won the first battle of the year.

------

The Xuanjia soldiers are an elite division formed by Li Shimin.

Li Shimin selected more than 1,000 brave and good fighters in the army to form Xuanjia soldiers, all of whom were black-clothed and black-armored, and the horses they rode were also wearing iron armor.

The Xuanjia soldiers were divided into two teams, left and right, led by Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Wei Chi Jingde, and Zhai Changsun.

Every time he goes to battle, Li Shimin personally wears the Xuanjia as the vanguard to lead the army, and the Xuanjia soldiers are invincible and invincible.

The enemy saw from a distance that the black pressure of the Xuanjia soldiers was rolling like a dark cloud, and they often suddenly lost their fighting spirit, and fled in fear.

------

On this day, Qu Tutong and Dou Liang led the army out of the village to patrol the camp, and suddenly encountered a sneak attack by Wang Shichong.

Qu Tutong and Dou Rail were caught off guard, and were surrounded by the army led by Wang Shichong, Qu Tutong and Dou Rail led the soldiers to form a circle in the envelope to resist, waiting for the Tang army to come to the rescue.

When Li Shimin heard the news that Qu Tutong and Dou Rail were surrounded, he personally led the Xuanjia soldiers out of the camp, and Qu Tutong and Dou Rail led the soldiers to rush and kill from the inside out.

The Tang army killed and captured more than 6,000 people of Wang Shichong's army and captured the enemy general Ge Yanzhang.

Wang Shichong stole chickens and rice, and led the remnants of the defeated army to flee back to Luoyang City.

------

The commander of the first army has repeatedly personally charged into battle, and the real number is rare in the world.

Qu Tutong and Yin Kaishan came forward to admonish them many times, but Li Shimin didn't listen at all, and in desperation, the two had no choice but to let Li Shimin go.

But how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet?

In the Jin Ge Iron Horse, rushing to kill in the sword and gun battle array, it is inevitable that you will be injured by the sword.

Li Shimin personally participated in the battle formation again and again, and soon almost made a big mistake, and after a forgetful battle, he was almost captured by Wang Shichong's army.

------

In February of this year, the periphery of Luoyang had been basically cleared, and the time had come to besiege Luoyang.

Li Shimin sent Yu Wenshi and returned to Chang'an to ask Li Yuan to prepare for the siege of Luoyang.

Li Yuan said to Yu Wenshi, "Go back and tell your king that after conquering Luoyang, except for the things that ordinary people don't have, such as the magic objects and the books and equipment, which are not used by ordinary people, will be collected and stored by the King of Qin, the rest of the family mansions, fields, beautiful women and slaves, gold, silver and jade silk will all be rewarded to the soldiers by him as the master."

------

With Li Yuan's permission, Li Shimin began to mobilize the Tang army to encircle Luoyang and moved the Chinese army camp to the north of Luoyang.

Li Shimin led the army to Luoyang City, the Tang army was not firmly established, the camp had not been built, Wang Shichong led 20,000 soldiers out of the city to challenge.

The Tang army was camping, so they had to rush into battle, Li Shimin ordered Qu Tutong to lead 5,000 foot soldiers out of the camp to hold the position, and he personally led hundreds of Xuanjia soldiers to prepare to attack the enemy formation.

------

The Xuanjia soldiers were divided into several teams and charged Wang Shichong's formation, and Li Shimin brought a team with a total of dozens of people.

Li Shimin led people to rush from the front of the formation to the back of the formation, and then rushed from the back of the formation to the front of the formation, repeatedly rushing back and forth a few times, Wang Shichong's soldiers were invincible, and the corpses were everywhere.

In the melee, Li Shimin lost contact with other soldiers, leaving him alone, but unfortunately, the yellow horse he was riding was shot by a stray arrow and fell to the ground and died.

-----

Seeing that Li Shimin was alone, dozens of people surrounded him, and Li Shimin shot several people with a bow and arrows, and the enemy did not dare to move forward for the time being because of his bravery.

Li Shimin was also afraid that his bow and arrows would run out, so he didn't dare to shoot indiscriminately for a while, and the two sides were at a stalemate with each other.

In the midst of the chaos, there are no mounts, and it is impossible to break through. Li Shimin was trapped on the spot, and there was no way to get out of the siege.

-----

At this moment, Qiu Xinggong, the hussar general of the Qin Palace, came to Li Shimin on a prancing horse, gave the horse to Li Shimin, and walked forward on foot with a long knife in front of the horse.

Qiu Xinggong strode forward, waved his sword and shouted wildly, and killed several people in a row, Li Shimin followed closely behind and killed the enemy with arrows, and the enemy soldiers saw that the two were like fierce gods, and no one dared to step forward again, Li Shimin finally broke through and returned to the army under the protection of Qiu Xinggong.

------

Duan Zhixuan, another hussar general of the Qin Palace, was also caught in the formation, and his horse lost his front hooves and was captured by the enemy.

The two enemy cavalrymen grabbed Duan Zhixuan's hair bun and dragged him on the ground, Duan Zhixuan was originally an outlaw, extremely fierce, and he still did not forget the opportunity to survive in a desperate situation.

When he was dragged by two cavalrymen who grabbed his hair bun, Duan Zhixuan suddenly rose up, and the two enemy cavalrymen fell off their horses, he picked up the saber of the enemy soldiers and killed the two, and then turned over and jumped on the enemy's war horse to fight his way out of the encirclement.

------

Wang Shichong also led his army to fight to the death, and his army scattered and gathered, gathered and scattered.

The two sides fought from morning to noon, and Wang Shichong led his army to withdraw into the city.

Li Shimin took advantage of the situation to chase and kill behind, approached the city of Luoyang, and captured and killed nearly 10,000 of Wang Shichong's subordinates.

After this battle, the Tang army besieged Luoyang, and Wang Shichong's army did not dare to go out of the city to meet the battle.

------

After the siege of the city, Li Shimin sent troops to attack from all sides day and night, but the city was very tightly guarded, and it lasted more than ten days and still did not conquer it.

Since the Tang Army sent troops to the Central Plains in July last year, it has lasted more than half a year, and the soldiers have been tired from fighting for a long time, and many of them have the intention of returning to Guanzhong from the west. Now seeing that Luoyang could not be attacked for a long time, some people proposed to temporarily dismiss the division.

Li Shimin heard the rumors in the army, and was worried, so he summoned the generals to analyze the current situation, and he said to the generals, "Our army is coming in a big way, and all the prefectures and counties in Henan have been annexed, and only the lonely city of Luoyang is left, which is bound to not last long.

He immediately ordered, "Luoyang is not broken, swear not to be a class teacher, and those who dare to speak again about the class teacher will be killed."

------

Li Yuan heard that Luoyang could not be attacked for a long time and the army's spirit was unstable, so he also sent someone to send a secret letter to Li Shimin, persuading his squad to fight again after the whole army was reorganized.

Li Shimin replied to Li Yuan: Luoyang Bike. He also sent Feng Deyi back to Beijing to face the saint and discuss the current situation.

Feng Deyi played Li Yuan and said, "Now there is only a lonely city left in Luoyang, and it will be conquered in the morning and night. If the class teacher gives Wang Shichong a chance to breathe, the states and counties that have been annexed may also recur, and he will regroup, and it will be more difficult for him to conquer Luoyang."

Li Yuan felt that Li Shimin and Feng Deyi were reasonable, so he agreed that Li Shimin would continue to besiege Luoyang.

------

Li Shimin sent someone to send a letter to Wang Shichong, knowing the benefits and disadvantages, and persuading Wang Shichong to surrender.

Wang Shichong ignored it, but hurriedly urged Dou Jiande to send troops to the rescue.

In March, Dou Jiande led an army of 50,000 to rescue Luoyang.

Luoyang Weike, there is a strong enemy in the east, but the soldiers of the Tang Army have no intention of fighting again, where to go? Qu Tutong, Yin Kaishan, Dou Rail, Feng Deyi and other important members of the army couldn't make up their minds for a while.

------

Qu Tutong, Feng Deyi and others believed that "the Tang army has been exhausted after a long battle, Luoyang is difficult to conquer for a while, Dou Jiande is in high spirits in the west, and the situation is unfavorable to the Tang army, so it is better to temporarily relieve the siege of Luoyang and return to Xin'an."

Li Shimin did not think it was a cause for concern, he believed, "The enemy in Luoyang is no longer capable of fighting, and only needs to besiege it. As long as the Tang army quickly guards the Tiger Pass, Dou Jiande will not be able to advance westward."

"Tiger Prison is the key to victory or defeat. If Dou Jiande can't break through the tiger prison, Luoyang's grain will be exhausted, and he will go out of the city and surrender. If the Tiger Prison Pass is broken, Henan Prefecture and County will have just been annexed, and they will be unable to resist Dou Jiande's army, and the two thieves Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande will unite to greatly increase their power, and the Tang army will definitely be defeated."

In the end, Li Shimin decided to personally lead 3,500 elite cavalry to the Tiger Pass. Qu Tutong and others assisted Li Yuanji and still besieged Luoyang.

------

Li Shimin has always been arbitrary, and the things he decided cannot be changed by others.

Qu Tutong and the others had no choice but to obey his decision and act in accordance with Li Shimin's orders.

Li Shimin led 3,500 elite cavalry to set out at noon, crossed Beipi, passed through Gongxian County in the east, and then reached the Tiger Prison Pass in Xingyang in the east.

------

On the second day after arriving at the Tiger Prison Pass, Li Shimin led 500 Xuanjia soldiers out of the Tiger Prison Pass to the east for more than 20 miles to check on Dou Jiande's military camp.

Along the way, Li Shimin divided the Xuanjia soldiers into small teams, led by Li Shixian, Cheng Zhijie, and Qin Shubao, and ambushed them on both sides of the road, and only took Wei Chi Jingde and other four people to move forward with him.

------

Li Shimin said to Wei Chi Jingde, "I hold the bow and arrow, and the public holds the lance, although there are millions of people, what can I do?"

Wei Chi Jingde is a sincere person, what to say in his heart, although he is not afraid in his heart, he is afraid that Li Shimin will make a mistake, and he said uneasily, "The king should be careful, the last battle in the north of Luoyang City, the king almost fell into the enemy formation."

Li Shimin laughed loudly, "There was no general with me that time, and now that the general is by my side, what is the king afraid of?"

Then he said, "The Art of War, the thirty-six strategies are the best strategy, and Dou Jiande will return to Shandong when he sees me, which is the best strategy."

------

When he was three miles away from Dou Jiande's camp, he was discovered by Dou Jiande's patrolling cavalry, who thought it was a scout sent by the Tang Army to spy on the military and came up to expel him.

Li Shimin shouted loudly, "I am the king of Qin, but someone dares to come and arrest this king." As he spoke, he drew his bow and shot arrows to kill the enemy.

When the enemy heard that the Tang army King Qin had come to explore the camp, he dispatched thousands of cavalry to pursue him.

The Xuanjia guards who followed Li Shimin were shocked, but Li Shimin said unhurriedly, "You go ahead first, and this king and General Jingde will be behind."

------

Li Shimin and Wei Chi Jingde deliberately pressed the bridle, and when the chasing enemy cavalry chased closer, they drew their bows and shot, killing one person at a time.

Seeing that his companion was shot dead, the enemy cavalry slowed down the pursuit, and after a while they caught up again, and Li Shimin shot again, also killing another person.

Again and again, when a companion was shot dead, the enemy cavalry did not dare to chase too closely.

So Li Shimin and Wei Chi Jingde accelerated their speed and ran forward, and the enemy cavalry saw that they had opened up the distance, so they chased more quickly.

After a while, the enemy cavalry entered the ambush circle set up by Li Shimin, Li Shiyun, Cheng Zhijie, and Qin Shubao led the Xuanjia soldiers to kill, and the enemy cavalry was difficult to resist the enemy, and was beheaded more than 300 levels, and captured Dou Jiande's two generals, Yin Qiu and Shi Hao.

------

Li Shimin and Dou Jiande fought for the first time and won again.

So, how did he defeat Dou Jiande's army of 50,000 with 3,500 people?

Next, a dramatic scene occurred, and Li Shimin captured Dou Jiande alive without much effort.
