Chapter 34 Victory

On the twenty-eighth day of the coalition's siege, Dou Jiande did not dare to persist any longer and ordered all armies to attack with all their strength. The number of people attacking the city increased significantly, and the pressure on the Tang army increased sharply.

Li Yuan personally climbed to the top of the city and drew his sword to kill several enemy soldiers, thus once again stabilizing the morale of the army.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said: "The enemy is starting to fight hard, and they can't hold on anymore. Xiaoyi, follow me down there and kill! I've already been itchy!"

Li Yuan had already taken over the command, and Li Shimin was of little use beside him, so Wen Yi followed him and put on his armor.

Wenyi always wears Xiaomi No. 2 and acts as Li Shimin's bodyguard.

But his equestrian skills were terrible, so he would change into Xiaomi No. 1 every time he went out of town.

The city gate opened, and Li Shimin galloped out on Qingzhui. The broken army danced with the wind, and no one could stop it wherever it went. The blood danced with the broken limbs, and the internal organs were the same color as the head.

Wherever the King of Qin lived, not a blade of grass grew, and when the army was broken, not a scrap of armor remained.

As he marched forward without any scruples, literature and art had no choice but to follow closely, but he couldn't let history get into trouble, otherwise he wouldn't know who to rely on for support in the future.

Dou Jiande stood on the command platform 800 steps away from the city and saw Li Shimin charging towards him on horseback. He was startled, but did not take it seriously. He ordered Liu Heitai to lead a thousand cavalry to intercept and kill him.

Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was eager to fight. When he saw Liu Heitai leading his troops to intercept him, he shouted: "Well done!"

He straightened up his army and headed straight for Liu Heita.

When the battle ended, Liu Heitai was stabbed in the right shoulder by a spear. He dismounted his horse and was about to step forward to strike a blow, but was stopped by countless cavalry and started fighting.

Li Shimin had no choice but to accept the challenge.

Just as Liu Heitai took a breath, he heard the sound of breaking through the air behind him, and just as he was about to turn around, a silver-gray halberd tip passed through his body.

Liu Heitai knew without turning around that this was Lu Fengxian's weapon. He smiled helplessly and closed his eyes.

He who was supposed to be Dou Jiande's successor ended his life early because of the emergence of literature and art.

Here Li Shimin had already broken out of the cavalry formation, and seeing that he was less than twenty steps away from Dou Jiande, hundreds of soldiers poured out from behind the command platform, holding spears and blocking Li Shimin's way.

Seeing Li Shimin being stabbed off his horse, Wenyi felt anxious. Seeing Dou Jiande still standing on the podium calmly commanding, he hatched a plan.

After activating the propulsion system of Xiaomi No. 1, he sprinted, took two steps and leaped ten meters into the air. He struck Dou Jiande on the command platform with a halberd.

Dou Jiande was inexplicably horrified and quickly rolled to the side twice, barely avoiding Wenyi's killer move.

But how can a wooden podium withstand such attacks by literature and art?

When the halberd hit the podium, it was completely broken from top to bottom and turned into rubble with a "boom".

Dou Jiande relied on his strong martial arts to dodge left and right and land safely, then turned around and was about to mount his horse and escape.

Li Shimin shouted "Okay!"

After struggling to fight off several personal guards, they were about to chase Dou Jiande.

Unfortunately, Dou Jiande's personal guards tried their best to intercept him, and Li Shimin was stopped in place again.

Li Yuan was ecstatic when he saw Li Shimin cutting down Dou Jiande's banner. He personally came to the war drum, took the drumsticks and started beating them hard.

The drummer also played harder.

When the generals saw Li Yuan playing the drums in person, they all felt as if they had been given blood, and their violent attributes soared straight up.

The city gate of Mingde Gate opened wide, and two generals came out. When they looked closely, they were Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji, each leading 10,000 cavalry to attack the coalition forces.

The emperor beat the drums and the prince led the army. How could the Tang army not be excited?

Following the crown prince and the King of Qi, he rushed forward howling and screaming. When he met the coalition forces, he chopped them down with a knife without saying a word.

Dou Jiande ran to a safe place and saw that the Tang army actually took the initiative to attack. The coalition forces were already in chaos. He quickly asked his soldiers to put up the flag and ordered the coalition cavalry to stop them.

After all, there were many coalition forces, and the prince and the King of Qi's 20,000 cavalry were trapped in a tight siege halfway through. If the cavalry could not increase their speed, they would have to wait for death.

The 20,000 infantrymen led by Xue Wanche had just left the city gate and were unable to support them for the time being.

When the two of them were extremely anxious, they saw chaos in the rear of the coalition forces.

A group of men and horses rushed out from behind, armed with eighteen kinds of weapons including swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks.

The gongs and drums were ringing in a chaotic and chaotic manner.

Two large flags were erected in front, one with "Cheng" written on it and the other with "Yuchi" written on it.

Do you think they are Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde?

Wrong, Cheng Yaojin is recovering from his injuries, and Li Shimin has ordered him not to lead troops; Yuchi Jingde is defending Jinguang Gate, how can he come here?

Let’s first talk about the origin of this team in detail.

It turns out that Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin, two idiots, had been locked up at home since they asked Li Shimin to join the army last time but were rejected. During the Battle of Chang'an, they both had something to do, so they sneaked out.

I have been hanging out with the wanderers and listening to their nonsense.

When the allied forces besieged Chang'an, Li Yuan was concerned that the rangers were unruly and difficult to manage, so he asked Fang Xuanling to arrange for them to wait for orders in a small village a hundred miles outside Chang'an.

Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin also followed. They were accompanied by guards and would report their situation to their families from time to time, so the two families were not too worried about them.

The three books that Wang Erxuan learned about literature and art have also been disseminated.

Especially the appearance of "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" made Cheng Chumo even more excited. He would raise his hands to everyone he met and say, "My father is the demon king Cheng Yaojin."

The other party immediately showed a look of admiration, and then started the mutual blowing mode.

Let them quickly fight with these rangers.

After hearing the news that a young hero was brave and invincible, he killed dozens of generals of the coalition army and the King of Qin defeated ten thousand enemies by himself, the two of them couldn't sit still.

The two guys got together secretly, and Cheng Chumo said: "Baolin, our fathers are both famous heroes in the world. We have to do something, otherwise how will we walk in the world in the future?"

Yuchi Baolin nodded and said: "Brother is right, we can't just say whose son is so and so as soon as we nominate a name. What should we do to create our own name?"

Cheng Chumo chuckled and said: "It's easy to handle. The coalition forces have been attacking the city for more than half a month now. I heard news from my family that they can't hold on for much longer. When the coalition forces are about to lose their hold, we will lead these heroes to cooperate with the Tang army."

If we attack from behind, we will surely defeat the coalition forces in one blow!"

It has to be said that the children of military generals know some art of war in their bones.

Yuchi Baolin thought about it and said, "Brother, this is a good idea, but we can't rush forward like this. We have no momentum. Let's borrow daddy's flag and use it. It's like an army."

Cheng Chu nodded happily.

Under the coercion and inducement of the two men, their guards had no choice but to help them steal two large flags, as well as war drums and gongs.

The two of them began to trick people into joining the gang.

Not to mention, the people of the Tang Dynasty were so naive that they actually reorganized all the rangers in just a few days.

There were 26,000 people in total, and each person received 13,000.

Cheng Chumo also asked Fu Da and Ming Da to investigate the enemy's situation at all times.

Fu Da, who was mostly a veteran of the battlefield, sensed that the final battle was coming and quickly informed Cheng Chumo.

So Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and all the rangers quietly went around behind the coalition forces.

When I saw Li Shimin charging into the enemy's army single-handedly, my head was burning and I wanted to kill him.

Fu Da and Ming Da hurriedly stopped him and persuaded him: "Young Master, the coalition forces are well organized now. More than 20,000 of us rushing in will not have much effect. When the coalition formation is dispersed, we can go down and drain the fire!"

Cheng Chumo also knew that his decision was now related to the life and death of more than 20,000 people, so he held back his temper and listened to others' advice to eat enough.

After the prince and Li Yuanji led their troops to fight out, Fu Da and Ming Da said: "Young Master, the enemy's formation is in chaos. Let's go up. You lead people to support the prince; Young Master Yuchi goes to support the King of Qi.

We will definitely defeat the enemy!"

Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin were waiting for these words, and immediately asked people to raise their father's flag and kill them with gongs and drums.

The coalition forces had already been rushed into disarray by the Tang army, and now that they were charging into the rear, they were even more confused, regardless of their head or tail.

He didn't listen to orders, he just fought with the enemy in front of him, and the result was: the fields were filled with gloomy clouds, and the sky was full of cold mist.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, drum, cannon to drive away thunder.

There are waves of dazzling guns and knives.

Competing against generals is like gods and ghosts vying for merit; horses wooing horses are like sea beasts and mountain lions vying for food.

Thousands of pear blossoms are rolling in the white waves, thousands of apricot pistils are surrounded by red clouds; the blue mist is covering the mountains at dawn, and the floating yellow clouds are shining in the sun.

The dancing pine-patterned knives, sangmen swords, fire-pointed spears, square halberds, Wuming shovels, Xuanhua axes, gold-plated hammers, Biyanao, flowing gold ingots, and horse-poisoning weapons are all frost-sharp blades.

Sai Xue Xin Feng.

Fluttering catkins, thousands of spears and knives, billowing poplar flowers, and a shadow of knives.

Rainbows fly and lightning flashes, swords and halberds cross the sky; the moon turns and stars fly, and swords and spears dazzle.

The sea is turning upside down, you win and I lose.

Seeing that the situation was over, Dou Jiande gathered his troops without notifying the remaining two gates, and without any supplies, he fled.

It can be said: "Brothers want to share joys and sorrows, but when disaster strikes, they each escape." He ran for more than three hundred miles in one breath before he dared to rein in his horse and stop to catch his breath.

Seeing that the situation was over, Wang Xuanying, Li Zitong and others also hurriedly packed up their troops and prepared to escape.

However, he was caught off guard by the red-eyed Li Shimin, who killed Li Zitong with one blow and had his bodyguards cut off his head. He also photographed Wang Xuanying with one blow and had his bodyguards tie up the chairman of the association, An Guo.

The combined offensive of Jinguangmen and Chunmingmen was in full swing, and they were about to attack the city. Suddenly, they heard a report from their men: the main force of Mingdemen was defeated, and Dou Jiande was missing.

Liu Wuzhou, Xu Yuanlang and others were so frightened that they did not bother to notify the armies and instead packed up their men and prepared to run away.

Du Fuwei knew that the coalition forces were defeated, but he did not run away. He gathered his troops, hung a white flag in the camp and prepared to surrender.

The Tang army took advantage of the situation to pursue them, with all their 50,000 main force deployed, chasing them tail to tail, and fought until dark before withdrawing their troops.

Wang Xuanying and Gao Kaidao were captured alive; Du Fuwei and Xiao Xian surrendered; Li Gui, Liang Shidu, and Li Zitong were killed on the spot; Dou Jiande, Liu Wuzhou, Xu Yuanlang, Lin Shihong, and Shen Faxing escaped; countless soldiers were surrendered.

The Tang army won a great victory. Li Yuan could not stop laughing while sitting on the dragon chair, and all the officials were also beaming with joy.
