On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, it was sunny and large troops gathered outside Heyang Cang. Their murderous intent was so high that even the birds did not dare to stop here. However, they saw more than 50,000 Tang troops arrayed in the west, and more than 30,000 Qi troops arrayed in the west.

The formation is in the east, and to the south is the Yellow River, which has entered the dry season in winter.

It is said that since the first confrontation between the Tang Army and the Qi Army for Heyang on the 17th of the twelfth lunar month, another seven or eight fierce battles took place within a few days. Both sides won and lost, and the Heyang warehouse also changed hands several times. Until the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, the head coach of the Tang Army

Li Shimin personally led the main force to arrive, and then

With an overwhelming force advantage, the Qi army was forced back and completely controlled Heyangcang. However, the next day, which was the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Sheng, the Qi army's marching general in charge of Zhongnan Road, also arrived with the main force of the Qi army.

As a result, there is now a scene of confrontation between the two armies.

The north wind is blowing, the sun is chilling, murderous intent is rising in the sky, and a tragic decisive battle is about to begin!

!

But under the commanding flag of the Tang army camp, Li Shimin was looking at the Qi army on the opposite side like an eagle with a solemn expression. Although his own troops had an absolute advantage, Li Shimin did not dare to take it lightly, because after these days of fighting

It can be seen that the Qi army is well-trained and its combat power is indeed very powerful, and the Qi army has never used that weapon since then.

The explosive firearms obviously still have some remaining power. However, Li Shimin is still confident that he can defeat the Qi army, because the Tang army's combat power is not worse than the Qi army, and its equipment is not behind the Qi army. Moreover, the Tang army is tenacious and indomitable.

The fear of death must be greater than that of the Qi army. Coupled with the superiority in military strength, the final victory over the Qi army is inevitable. Li Shimin firmly believes in this.

Looking at the commanders of the Qi Army camp, Lu Sheng also looked solemn, because just looking at the Tang Army's mighty military appearance, he knew that he had met the strongest opponent since his debut. Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Cheng Yaojin, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, etc.

The five tiger generals also looked serious, because they all knew that the next battle would be extremely tragic.

Winter winter winter, winter winter winter...

The war drums of the two armies beat in unison, and the Tang army's left wing took the lead in advancing forward, with swordsmen, shieldmen and spearmen in front. However, the shields were like walls, layered on top of each other, the spears were like forests, and the sharp edges gnawed into the sky. The entire formation was airtight.

, the water cannot be poured in, which shows that the Tang army is indeed well-trained and very elite.

Kill kill kill, kill kill kill...

The Tang army shouted and pressed forward. If it were those grassroots troops, they would have been frightened out of their wits just by seeing this overwhelming formation, and they would have turned around and fled for their lives. However, the Qi army on the opposite side was not a vegetarian, no matter what they had experienced.

The training, or the flames of war, was only much more than that of the Tang Army. It was a powerful force that had truly experienced the tempering of blood and fire. Therefore, the formation of the Tang Army not only did not intimidate them, but instead aroused their strong fighting spirit.

.

At that moment, the right wing of the Qi army charged out tit for tat, facing the left wing of the Tang army without fear. The two teams collided with each other, and a fierce fight began. Immediately afterwards, the right wing of the Tang army also pressed forward.

, the left wing of the Qi army immediately followed and fought in a melee with the Tang army. The sand and dust were billowing, and the sun and the moon were dim.

Buzz buzz...

The bow strings kept ringing, and wave after wave of sharp arrows were thrown into the sky. The winter sun also dimmed, and then a rain of arrows fell from the sky, taking away every living life.

War is always cruel, whether it is the era of cold weapons or the era of hot weapons, it means that human lives are like a piece of grass!

The combat power of the Qi army and the Tang army were not much different, and the gap in equipment was also similar. As long as the commanders did not make mistakes, it was obviously difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time, so the two sides continued to fight fiercely until noon.

Neither of them could move the other side in the slightest, and the fight was evenly matched.

Li Shimin couldn't help but frown at this time. Lu Sheng was obviously not the best handsome man among Gao Qi, but he was so powerful. What would happen if Xu Shiji or Gao Changqing came in person? What's more, Gao Qi still has

A humble Li Jing.

When he thought of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart. Gao Changqing was very lucky. Not only did he have such handsome men as Xu Shiji, Li Jing, and Lu Sheng under his command, but he also had Qin Shubao, Yuchi Jingde, Pei Xingyan, Luo Shixin, and Cheng Yaojin.

, Shan Xiongxin and a large number of powerful generals are really full of talents and generals like a cloud.

"Send the order and call for gold to withdraw the troops!" Li Shimin ordered decisively.

Li Shimin gave the order, the sound of gold sounded, and the Tang army retreated in an orderly manner. The Qi army on the opposite side also immediately ordered the gold to withdraw, and everyone returned to camp to rest, bury pots to cook, and eat before continuing to fight.

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but sighed: "His Royal Highness, King Qin, Gao Qi is indeed our Li Tang's great enemy. I'm afraid this battle will be difficult to win."

Li Shimin nodded and said calmly: "Since it is difficult to fight, then fight slowly."

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said: "We have to fight slowly. Wang Shichong is a cunning and insidious person who will not let go of the rabbit before he sees it. If we don't let some blood go out, we may not be able to trick him."

Li Shimin's eyes flashed and he suddenly asked: "Mr. Fang, do you think Gao Changqing has the same thoughts as us?"

Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment before saying: "It is possible, but Xu Shiji is now blocked outside Hulao Pass, Lu Sheng is fighting with us here, and Pei Xingyan is far away in Jiangdong. Why does Gao Changqing take Luoyang?"

Li Shimin frowned and said, "What if Gao Changqing goes to get it in person?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said: "It should be impossible. No matter how powerful Gao Changqing is, he can't conjure up soldiers and horses out of thin air. There are at least 20,000 defenders in Luoyang City. Without the support of tens of thousands of troops, even if there are internal agents in the city, it is impossible to capture them.

Gotta get down."

After Li Shimin heard this, he felt a little relieved. He knew how many enemies the Qi army had in total. Now Lu Sheng was held back by him, and Xu Shiji was blocked outside Hulao Pass. Pei Xingyan's Qi army was far away.

Thousands of miles away, there are only ten thousand people left outside Liyangcang, but it is also hundreds of miles away, and it is impossible to attack Luoyang by surprise.

In the afternoon, the war drums beat, and the two armies went out to fight again, and continued to fight until dusk, but there was no winner. Seeing that it was getting dark, the two sides ordered their troops to retreat and rest, waiting to fight again at dawn tomorrow.

On the second day, the Tang army finally used cavalry. Amidst the roaring of horse hooves, the Tang army's cavalry roared out and rushed towards the Qi army's battle formation like wind and lingering clouds. They wielded horses with sharp swords and swallowed up mountains and rivers like tigers!

Luo Shixin, who had been idle for a long time, was overjoyed when he saw this. He immediately raised his gun and mounted his horse, leading his cavalry to meet them. Then Cheng Yaojin and Shan Xiongxin each led a cavalry to help. Hey, these three are all

They were powerful generals charging into the battle. At this time, they all attacked at the same time, and the Tang army's cavalry gradually became unable to resist them.

Qin Shubao seized the opportunity and led 500 cavalry to charge out of the formation. They attacked fiercely from the flanks. Finally, the Tang army's cavalry could no longer resist and turned their horses' heads to escape back to their own formation.

Qin Shubao and others took the opportunity to chase and try to take advantage of the situation to tear apart the Qi army's infantry battle formation. However, the Tang army's defense was very tight. Arrows immediately attacked like locusts and did not give any chance. Therefore, Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin and others not only did not get any advantage.

, but some of the men and horses were damaged, so they had to retreat hastily.

Li Min was a good man. He seized the opportunity and pressed forward with the whole army. It was obvious that he would crush the Qi army with his superior strength.

Seeing this, Lu Sheng couldn't help but change his face slightly, and secretly shouted: "Li Shimin is really amazing. This timing is really perfect. When the cavalry was defeated, he turned his hand and launched a big counterattack, turning passivity into initiative."

I saw the Tang army rushing forward like a tidal wave, with everyone fighting bravely to be the first, fighting one after another, fearless of death. The Qi army's battle formation was suddenly under pressure across the board, and was forced to retreat step by step, and the situation took a turn for the worse.

"Let go!" Shenji Battalion had to use its trump card. The trebuchet was activated, and dozens of flying thunder roared out, crossing the highest point, drawing deadly parabolas in front of the two armies, and then fell into the Tang Army's

In the infantry formation.

Boom boom boom boom...

The flying thunder was filled with gravel and iron pieces, and when it exploded, it was like a torrential rain. The Tang army was immediately knocked upside down, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and they fell down in circles visible to the naked eye...

Li Shimin couldn't help but breathed tightly and clenched his fists. Is this Qi Jun's mysterious killer weapon? The power is indeed very scary! Fortunately, there are not many in number, and the trebuchet's launch speed is slow, otherwise it would really
Chapter completed!
