Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the news came, most generals of the Zhao army did not believe that Li Tang was capable of annihilating Wang Junkuo's 200,000-strong army. These were the main cavalry regiments. Even if they could not defeat them, or underestimated the enemy's advance and were ambushed, they might just be frustrated and retreat temporarily.  , will never be annihilated.

    It¡¯s a joke that Li Tang¡¯s 100,000 troops wiped out an army of 200,000 troops.

    Xue Wanche said disdainfully: "His Majesty Li Shimin's strategy is very simple. Li Tang just announced his victory through public announcements. This is what they say. In the past, this announcement of victory was only used to boost the morale of the people and exaggerate the results of the victory at will.  It is common to do this tenfold, and even to brag about a defeat as a victory."

    "Yes, our army is all cavalry. Even if it fails, we can retreat temporarily. I have never heard of the cavalry being annihilated. Even if Li Tang had a million troops, he couldn't do it, let alone Li Shimin's current strength?"  Himekawa also analyzed the words.

    Hearing what Xue Wanche and Ji Chuan said, the worried and doubtful generals present felt much relieved.

    "This is Li Shimin's plan. He deliberately cut off our connection with the West Route Army, and then eliminated the stronghold of our Fengwen Division. After our army entered Guanzhong, it lost its eyes and ears, and was isolated. Let us not fight.  Self-disruption." Xu Shiji concluded.

    Xu Shiji, the number one general in the Zhao army, said this, and all the generals were convinced.

    The most important thing in using troops is to attack the heart. Li Shimin is really a powerful enemy. All the generals think so. But they think so, which does not mean that the soldiers also think so. It is unknown whether the morale of the soldiers will be shaken if the news reaches the army.

    At this moment, a general rushed into the tent and said: "Your Majesty, the Tang army is leaving the city in the direction of Chang'an. Challenge our army to fight!"

    ¡°I simply don¡¯t know how to live or die!¡± All the generals were furious.  Li Shimin's main force is rushing towards Fufeng, while the Chang'an garrison is just a general garrison.  He also dared to challenge Zhao Jun.  But everyone also thought further about whether this was what Tang Jun meant to test.  See if the main force of Zhao's army is morally chaotic.

    Sure enough, at this time, a general suggested: "Your Majesty, the situation of the Western Route Army is unknown at the moment. Should we be cautious? Retreat temporarily."

    "What's there to say? Tang Jun must have come to test our truth."

    "Li Tang has obviously made up his mind to defeat them one by one. We cannot retreat. Instead, we have to deal with Li Tang here."

    "Morale can be boosted, but it can't be let down. Don't you think it's a good idea to go all out in one go? Even without the West Route Army, we can also win Chang'an in one battle."

    The generals made impassioned speeches one after another.

    Li Chongjiu was very pleased to see the military morale like this and asked: "Which general is willing to fight against the Tang army?"

    "I would like to go!"

    "I would like to go!" More than 20 generals under his command stood up.

    Li Chongjiu nodded and said immediately: "Okay, let's send Xue Wanjun and Wu Gunai to fight!"

    "No!"

    The second general received Li Chongjiu¡¯s advice, and they were all in high spirits at the moment.  After the two clasped their fists, they left the tent together.  The Wugunai tribe is the elite Mohe heavy cavalry of the Zhao army and is the most combat-effective unit.  Li Chongjiu sent Wu Gunai to fight, which meant that he could only win but not lose.

    Soon after, outside the big tent, there was the sound of soldiers and horses running back and forth on the ground.  The sound of armor clanging as he ran with the soldiers could be clearly heard in the tent.  But Li Chongjiu could not sit still, and when the generals saw Li Chongjiu walking like a chariot, they all felt at ease.  Sitting together waiting for news.

    After an hour, some generals couldn't help but couldn't sit still and stuck their heads out from time to time.  Looking towards the gate.  Some generals will inevitably feel uneasy at this time.  However, Xu Shiji, Xue Wanche and other generals closed their eyes to rest.  No movement.

    Many people have never felt that time has passed so long.

    During this long wait, a long horse neighed.  Many generals opened their eyes.  Looking towards the camp gate, I saw a cavalryman covered in blood galloping towards him.

    This man ran to the tent, and there was someone holding his horse for him.  The other party knelt down in front of the tent with a bang. Before he could speak, Wang Mahan and other generals who couldn't bear their anger came forward and asked, "How is it? How is the battle going?"

    "Report to the general, report to your majesty, great victory! Great victory!"

    "Haha!" Wang Mahan let out a long breath.

    The original silence in the tent was suddenly broken, and the tense bodies of the generals all relaxed slightly.  The man loudly said: "General Wugunai asked me to report back. Our army of 3,000 troops encountered 5,000 troops of the Tang army. They fought fiercely for an hour under Chang'an City. Our army defeated the Tang army and beheaded more than 400 people. The Tang army suffered more than a thousand casualties.  people."

    "General Wugunai took advantage of the victory to fight at the north gate of Chang'an. The gates in Chang'an City were closed tightly, and no soldier dared to fight.door.  "

    The generals laughed one after another, and Wang Mahan said: "This battle is enough to scare the courage of the Tang army in Chang'an."

    Having beheaded more than 400 people, there is no doubt that this is a big victory, and all the generals are overjoyed.

    "Your Majesty, taking advantage of this great victory, when the Tang army in Chang'an is frightened, can our army first retreat to Tongzhou, join Shan Xiongxin's 25,000 troops and horses, and then stick to Tongzhou to wait for news from the West Route Army?  What?" Yu Shinan suggested to Li Chongjiu.

    This is also possible.  Several serious generals could not help but agree with Yu Shinan's suggestion.

    To one place to the soldiers and horses, shrink the long grain road supply line, concentrate their strength, and twist into fists.

    "No, we won't retreat." Li Chongjiu shook his head and said.

    "Your Majesty, there are only more than 120,000 troops in the camp at the moment. If Li Shimin leads his army to attack Tongzhou and cut off our army's food routes, our army will be in trouble!" Yu Shinan said with a worried face.

    Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "Shan Xiongxin's 25,000 troops are stationed in Tongzhou, which is not easy to attack. Similarly, if I retreat from Tongzhou, it will be equivalent to showing cowardice to Li Shimin. Since Li Shimin boasted that the West Route Army was completely defeated,  To annihilate him, I just led my troops to station under the city of Chang'an, so that his rumors would be destroyed."

    "Your Majesty, this is too risky. If it is the West Route Army"

    General Li Chongjiu glared and shouted: "I never believe that the West Route Army will be annihilated by Li Shimin. Wang Junkuo, Yinghefu, Etuo, and Tuli are all generals selected by me. I believe in them."

    Hearing what Li Chongjiu said, all the generals of the Zhao army took orders.

    "I not only want to defend, but also attack. Once the Tang army's spirit has been dampened, Xue Wanche obeys the order and orders your troops to capture Jingyang within three days!"

    "The general will obey the order!"

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  However, after capturing Jingyang, it can not only threaten Chang'an from the north, but also cover the supply of Tongzhou grain road, which is crucial to the entire Chang'an strategy.  Li Shimin was also an experienced soldier, so he deployed defenses in Jingyang early.

    Xue Wanche's 30,000 troops went north, and Li Chongjiu also led his army to move the camp thirty miles away and set up camp in Sanyuan County, which was less than twenty miles away from Jingyang.

    Suddenly, countless soldiers and horses rolled towards the north of Chang'an.
