    Li Shimin looked at Li Dao  He didn't realize this, but as a very experienced general, Li Shimin knew very well that if he continued to fight, his horsepower would be insufficient. So he laughed and pointed to the green horse that was already wearing a vest following him.  Zhui Ma said: "Daoxuan, come on, get on my horse and follow me to break into the formation!" Li Daoxuan smiled and jumped off the horse, mounted Qingzhui and said: "Uncle, shall we go capture Dou Jiande?" Li Shimin  A cold light flashed in his eyes: "No, what we have to do now is to use this cavalry to penetrate his entire army and raise the flag behind the enemy. In this battle, I not only want to capture Dou Jiande, but also annihilate the Xia army!" Dou Jiande  On the small hill where he was, arrows were flying around like locusts. With great difficulty, he finally stabilized the battle line and drove all the officials who were in the way to the foot of the ridge on the other side. Now on this high slope.  On top, he has gathered 5,000 of his elite Chinese troops. They are all veterans who have fought with him for many years. They are loyal, reliable and strong generals. Dong Kangmai, the horse infantry commander of the Forbidden Army, Wang Xiaohu and others are taking the lead, holding bows and crossbows in person.  Exchanging fire with the Tang army at the foot of the ridge, relying on the desperate fighting of these Chinese guards, the front line that was once on the verge of collapse was temporarily stabilized.  At the foot of the ridge, Dou Kang was also commanding more than ten thousand Tang Army's front-line infantry, and was attacking from three sides on this high slope with only a radius of 1,000 square meters. The Tang Army held large shields, sang war songs, and braved the rain of enemy arrows.  In front of the formation, stepping on the corpses of their companions, the archers on foot in the rear row kept firing arrows, like dark clouds, pouring towards the Xia army's front line opposite.  Finally, after suffering hundreds of casualties, the Tang army on the front finally rushed up the slope that was only a few feet high. The infantry of the two armies began to line up, holding long spears, roaring and stabbing each other. Both sides were elite.  The infantry was well-trained and there were many Tang soldiers. However, the Xia army on the opposite side had the terrain advantage and attacked from high altitude. In just a moment, a total of three to four hundred people on both sides fell. However, the remaining people became more and more courageous as they fought.  Without taking a step back, the bodies of the companions in the front were dragged down by the auxiliary soldiers. The soldiers in the rear quickly stepped forward to top them, still maintaining the line. For a while, the two sides fell into a stalemate.  Dou Kang's heart began to wander. Beside him, Wang Junkuo was patrolling back and forth on horseback. He gritted his teeth and shouted to Wang Junkuo: "General Wang, now you come forward with the two thousand elite soldiers you have prepared. You must give me  Take this high ground, Dou Jiande's commanding flag is here. Once the commanding flag falls, we will win." Wang Junkuo looked around, there was already smoke and dust everywhere, and the sound of countless weapons clashing kept coming.  Not understanding the situation everywhere, he said in a deep voice: "General Dou, these two thousand elites are the last reserve of our front army infantry. If they are taken away, you will have no one here. If they are attacked by the enemy,  What should we do?" Dou Kang said in a deep voice: "The enemy's front army has collapsed a long time ago. How can there be any troops to attack us? Just go over and go around behind Dou Jiande and besiege him on all sides. He will definitely collapse."  He nodded and rode away, but the dense infantry array originally guarding Dou Kang's general quickly disappeared. A smile appeared on Dou Kang's face and he shouted: "Leigu, give it to me."  The whole army attacks, hurry up!" Before he could finish his words, suddenly, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats behind him. Dou Kang's expression changed. He turned around and saw a large number of Xia army cavalry in the black smoke.  Rushing straight towards here, one of the generals at the head is dancing and dancing. Isn't he Fan Yuan, the famous general from Hebei?  !  Dou Kang shouted: "No, we've fallen into a trap. Hurry, retreat!" Without saying a word, he took the lead and fled away. The remaining several hundred Tang Army cavalrymen following him immediately fled to the side.  , the figure disappeared in an instant, and the Tang Army's mountain attacking troops, who had lost their command, retreated one after another, following Dou Kang and running to the side.  Fan Yuan gritted his teeth and murmured: "Damn it, these Tang troops are running away very fast. Brothers, chase after me!" He was about to rush out, but he heard a sound of gold ringing on the ridge, and he  His face changed, and he saw Dou Jiande waving to him. Fan Yuan gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head, and rushed directly to the high hill. Facing Dou Jiande, he rolled his saddle and dismounted: "The last general is incompetent. The front army is defeated. Rescue is here."  Chi, please punish me!" Dou Jiande sighed: "That's all, I can see clearly here, I don't blame you, it's mainly because Gao Yaxian, a fool, easily moved out and messed up the camp. I saw that he was also killed by Tang Jun just now.  The infantry and cavalry were defeated and fled with dozens of people. Now the front army is out of control. Our army's top priority is to raise the flag and reorganize the army here. Lao Fan, you go to the rear army and call brothers Cao Dan and Cao Zhan.  We must hold the line and stop the defeated troops. As long as we reorganize, we still have a chance to counterattack. The Tang army is not invulnerable, so won¡¯t Dou Kang be defeated by us? Everyone must have confidence and hold on firmly.Way!  "The Xia Army officers and soldiers all shouted: "Hold, hold, hold!  " Dou Jiande laughed. His confidence was partially restored along with the morale of his subordinates. He was about to say something. Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves behind him. He instinctively turned around, but his expression changed drastically.  Seeing the two generals, their helmets were crooked and cracked, and they had been hit by several arrows. They were all covered in blood. When they saw him rolling away from his saddle, he dismounted and cried: "Your Majesty, it's not good. Our army has been penetrated by the Tang army. Please  Get out quickly!  "The people who came were Cao Zhan and Cao Dan, the chief generals of the rear army. They were both brothers of Mrs. Cao. Dou Jiande's eyes widened and he looked back. He saw hundreds of people floating behind the Xia army's rear army formation.  The battle flag of the Tang Army was in front of him, and countless Tang Army cavalry were galloping back and forth behind the Xia Army formation, flying flags and shooting while shouting: "The Xia Army has been defeated, Dou Jiande has been captured, the Xia Army has been defeated, and Dou Jiande has been captured.  Capture Dou Jiande!  " The battle of the army depends entirely on the flag. At any time, as long as the flag in the rear is replaced by the enemy's, the entire army will collapse, no matter how elite it is. Han Xin's last stand was able to achieve an epic victory precisely because the army outnumbered the enemy.  After that, Li Shimin led Shi Danai, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Wenxin and others, and even gave up the opportunity to attack Dou Jiande, but directly penetrated the entire Xia army's line and attacked the enemy.  Later, the Tang flag was raised, which became the last straw that broke the morale of the Xia army. 8)
