Chapter 586: Capture the Two Kings in One Battle

The sky gradually brightened, and Luoyang City gradually restored order.

Last night, the Tang army moved very quickly, and did not give Wang Shichong any time to react, and the army rushed into the city and captured him in a battle, and after Li Shimin entered the city, he immediately sent people to maintain order.

After a night of killing, those who took the opportunity to make trouble were strangled, and Luoyang City did not suffer major losses.

The army got Luoyang City almost without losses, Li Shimin was overjoyed in his heart, as for Wang Shichong, he was knocked off his horse by Wei Chi Jingde last night, and he was seriously injured directly, and he had already sent a doctor for treatment, and was ready to be sent back to Chang'an for Li Yuan to deal with.

At the same time, Li Shimin had already written a request for merit overnight and sent someone to send it to Chang'an.

At this time, Li Yuan already knew that the Wang family had joined the Tang Dynasty, and when he saw Li Shimin's performance, Li Yuan almost came in person.

Fortunately, he was persuaded by others, and then ordered to send a lieutenant to invite the Wang family.

For the Wang family, Li Yuan is very cautious, he is not at ease to let the Wang family follow Li Shimin. Since this period of time, the Wang family has done so many big things, if the Wang family continues to follow Li Shimin, Li Shimin's power will be even greater at that time.

The crown prince was completely suppressed by it.

Although Li Yuan likes the second son, he has never thought of abolishing the eldest son and making the second son the crown prince.

He has always suppressed Li Shimin, such as the civil and military officials in the imperial court rarely interacted with the king of Qin.

The manpower given to Li Shimin were all some generals and some people with low backgrounds.

As for the officials from the wealthy families of the gate lords, they are all arranged in the court and have good friends with the prince, so it can be said that the court is all his and the prince's people.

But his second son is too good, even if he suppresses it, he can't stop the rise of the second son. Even if he is partial, he can't go too far, and the official positions that should be given are also given. The reward given for meritorious service may be less or less, but it cannot be withheld.

As a result, his second son relied on these generals, and he won consecutive battles without a cold door, and now he is the biggest commander of the Tang Dynasty.

If the Wang family is allowed to follow the second son, the prestige of the second son will definitely be even higher than that of his father. How could Li Yuan let the Wang family follow his second son?

After learning that the Wang family had come to serve, he was first excited, and then he wanted to let the Wang family enter the court and give high-ranking officials good fortune.

The envoy hurried to the outside of Luoyang City, and before he could rest, he heard that Luoyang had been captured by the Tang army, and then rushed to the city.

After Li Shimin saw the holy decree, his originally happy mood suddenly sank.

The edict is very simple, that is, let several members of the Wang family enter the court as officials. Li Yuan directly appointed Wang Xuanjing as the prince, sealed Huai'an Hou, and gave him a mansion in Chang'an, so that he could enter Beijing as soon as possible.

Wang Xuanjing had already been mentally prepared for this edict, and after receiving the edict, he said to the lieutenant: "Please also ask the lieutenant to take it for a while, and I will arrange for the clansmen to enter Beijing." ”

Immediately took a few brothers to pull Li Shimin to the side hall, and said to Li Shimin: "King Qin, don't worry, after Jing went to the capital, someone came to help His Highness, and the three thousand feathers of Lin Wei were also handed over to His Highness, and Jing was waiting for His Highness to triumph in Chang'an." ”

After speaking, he instructed the two brothers to assist the king of Qin, and then left with the remaining few people and followed the lieutenant to Chang'an.

Wang Xuanjing's departure made Li Shimin's heart a little heavy, but he was relieved after seeing the other Wang family members and Yu Linwei.

He understood what Wang Xuanjing meant, and knew that the Wang family still supported him, so he immediately packed up his mood and prepared to deal with Dou Jiande.

Dou Jiande was stationed near the Tiger Prison Pass when the Tang army was besieging Luoyang, and he originally planned to wait for the Tang army and Wang Shichong to be defeated, and then he sent troops to settle the battle, but he never thought that Wang Shichong would be defeated so quickly.

Overnight, Luoyang City fell, and before he could react, Li Tang's army came to the Tiger Prison Pass.

Seeing this situation, Dou Jiande sent troops to attack Tiger Pass, but several attacks were thwarted. Dou Jiande saw that the Tiger Prison Pass was as solid as a rock, and the morale of the Tang Army was high, and it was impossible to break through the Tiger Prison Pass.

But if he retreated like this, he was unwilling, so he hesitated a little outside the Tiger Prison Pass.

But at this time, the Tiger Prison Pass suddenly closed and opened, and the Tang army went out of the city to invite battle. Seeing that Tang Jun gave up the advantage of the pass, Dou Jiande suddenly felt that the opportunity had come. Sent to attack.

The results are self-evident, although Dou Jiande has occupied Hebei and Shandong over the years, he has not experienced any vicious battles. Hebei and Shandong have long been almost impoverished by Yang Guanghuo.

In the face of the elite of the Tang Dynasty, several attacks did not take advantage, and with the passage of time, Dou Jiande's soldiers could not hold it and began to retreat slowly.

Seeing Dou Jiande's army retreating, Li Shimin was overjoyed, hurriedly turned over his horse, and personally commanded the Xuanjia Army and Yu Linwei, a total of 6,000 elite cavalry, to charge against Dou Jiande.

Six thousand elite armored cavalry, forming a huge cone-shaped military formation, rushed towards Dou Jiande's army formation. Armed to the teeth, the armored cavalry is the most powerful battlefield machine of this era.

The men and horses are all dressed in heavy armor, invulnerable, once the cavalry with a weight of more than 1,000 catties is launched, it is like a wild beast, and any resistance is directly knocked away wherever it passes, even the elite infantry formation can not block the impact of the armored cavalry, not to mention the Xia army that is retreating with low morale.

As soon as the 6,000 army rushed in, the Xia army's formation was completely torn apart without the slightest resistance, and where the armored cavalry passed, the soldiers who could not dodge were directly knocked out, and then trampled by the hooves of the horses with a large bowl mouth.

The road was smooth, and only the pieces of flesh and blood left on the ground silently told something.

Seeing the six thousand cavalry charging, Dou Jiande's face changed greatly, and he kept sending people to block it, but under the charge of the Xuanjia Army and Yu Linwei, he was quickly defeated.

The Xuanjia Army and Yu Linwei were very fast, and they did not stop after breaking through the military formation, and rushed directly towards Dou Jiande's army.

All the resistance pale in front of the two armoured riders, and the charging armoured riders crushed the blockers with unparalleled strength.

Wang Xuanlie took the lead, and the war horse under the crotch was a carefully cultivated war horse of the Tianma obtained by the Wang family from Tianzhu.

Soon, the original retreat of the Xia army turned into a rout, a large number of Xia troops were killed in fear, running in all directions, and the cavalry led by Wang Xuanlie was like a hot knife cutting butter, rushing through a road in the Xia army's army formation, rushing towards Dou Jiande Daxu.

Seeing that the Tang army was invincible and rushed straight forward, the distance was getting closer and closer, Dou Jiande's face changed greatly, he didn't care about anything else, he turned around and was about to flee.

As a result, the Xia army was already in a mess, a large number of soldiers blocked the road, and Dou Jiande didn't run far before he was caught up by Wang Xuanlie, and then an arrow hit his crotch war horse.

Dou Jiande's war horse fell out of control, and before he could get up, he was captured by the Tang army.
