When analyzing the trend of history, we can always list a lot of high-sounding reasons.
For these reasons, we habitually call them "laws" and use them to prove the inevitability of historical development.
Later, whenever something happens, we can always use the word "law" to confirm it, as if as long as the "law" is in hand, everything can be explained.
but.
History is not a mathematical problem, it is not that precise.
On a macro level, "laws" may still have some effect.
On a "micro" level, history often changes its direction because of a small event.
The occurrence of this small incident must be accidental!
Dou Jiande now thinks that he has done nothing wrong.
When soldiers are tired from fighting on the battlefield, it is normal for them to relax a little after getting off the battlefield!
As for when they were eating, they all rushed to eat because they were hungry, so it didn't seem to have much to do with it.
Of course, if at this time, the Tang army on the opposite side did not suddenly attack...
There is no such thing as a regret medicine in the world.
At the same time, in this world, the only one with the ability to predict the future is Xiao Han!
Except for Xiao Han, no one knew that Li Shimin's most glorious battle in his life would begin without any warning on this drizzly evening.
When the gate of Hulao Gate, which Dou Jiande had dreamed of breaking through, was quietly opened, no one in the Xia army, who was in a mess just to eat, noticed it!
The first to break out of Hulao Pass was still Li Shimin's ace cavalry, the Xuanjia Army!
The distance of five miles is exactly when they calculated it and can exert the maximum power of the cavalry!
When the five thousand Xuanjia troops, who were like the god of death, rushed into the battlefield and were finally noticed by Xia Jun.
Finally, someone remembered that wise saying that cost countless lives and blood:
On the battlefield, never let go of your weapon!
"kill!!!"
"Kill!!!"
The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty rushed out from Hulao Pass, sweeping in like a mountain torrent, their momentum was astonishing!
The heavy horseshoes trampled hard on the solid ground, giving people the illusion that the whole land was beating with the horseshoes!
"Fight! Everyone fight!" A shrill cry suddenly sounded among the Xia army.
But at this time, most of their soldiers were holding rice bowls instead of weapons!
The Xuanjia Army is too fast!
Almost as soon as these words were spoken, they were already approaching!
Facing the helpless Xia army, the Xuanjia army showed no mercy! Let alone any weird chivalry!
They just swung down the horseshoes in their hands, and countless blood splashed into the air mixed with drizzle.
In the age of cold weapons, cavalry can be said to be the most terrifying branch of arms!
Using them to attack infantry, especially infantry with chaotic formations and unpreparedness, is simply a one-sided massacre!
Countless horse hooves galloped past, and behind them, a road paved with blood and broken limbs was so shocking!
"Hold on! Everyone, hold on!"
Behind the army, Dou Jiande's eyes were filled with tears! He roared and rushed forward, but as soon as he took a step, he was hugged tightly by a group of ministers!
"Your Majesty, you can't go! A gentleman avoids danger!"
"General Liu Heitai has already led his troops to greet him. Your Majesty must not put himself in danger!"
Countless admonishments around him were like a cuckoo weeping blood, suppressing Dou Jiande's furious thoughts.
He looked around blankly, and when he saw Qi Shanxing, his eyes suddenly burst into life.
"Shanxing, we will win! Right?" Holding Qi Shanxing's hand tightly, Dou Jiande was like a drowning man grabbing a straw, placing all his hopes on Qi Shanxing.
"Your Majesty, the enemy army only has a few thousand people. We will not be defeated, we will not be defeated!"
Qi Shanxing's words were a bit ethereal, as if he was comforting Dou Jiande, and also seemed to be comforting himself.
If, before this, Qi Shanxing still doubted the couple selling liquor in the capital more than he believed.
After coming here and experiencing so many things, I was already convinced of Dou Jiande's failure.
Dou Jiande didn't know what Qi Shanxing was thinking at this time. He was completely confused now! Now he could only breathe heavily and stare forward.
However, Qi Shanxing's words still make some sense.
After all, Xia Jun still has an overwhelming advantage in terms of numbers!
After experiencing the initial panic and casualties, Liu Heitai, who was full of rage, finally led his elite troops and rushed over!
At the same time, Xia Jun, who had just lost his mind, reorganized his formation under the command of countless generals!
As soon as the formation came out, the Xuanjia Army, which was originally invincible in the Xia Army, immediately felt unprecedented pressure! Not only were there casualties one after another, but even the galloping war horses were slowed down by the overlapping formations.
The cavalryman cannot leave his horse.
Similarly, horses cannot do without speed!
Seeing this, Luo Shixin, who led the Xuanjia Army, had no choice but to roar angrily and lead the army to charge out diagonally from the side of the Xia Army!
Five thousand Xuanjia troops rushed into Xia's army, and when they came out, only a little more than four thousand were left.
In just a few breaths, the number of personnel was reduced by 20%! This was the result of the Xia army's bows and arrows becoming damp and unable to be used. Otherwise, the losses would be even greater!
However, the loss this time was huge.
But with a thousand battle losses, they recovered at least ten times the enemy's losses! Moreover, the Xia army was frightened by the battle, which can be regarded as a victory.
Under the command of Luo Shixin, the Xuanjia Army, which had separated from the Xia Army, drew a large arc around the enemy's periphery, constantly wandering outside the camp.
At this time, they were like poisonous snakes, constantly looking for Xia Jun's weak points, waiting for the next attack.
The Xuanjia Army left the battlefield, but the 50,000 Tang Dynasty infantry that followed were already approaching the battlefield!
Without any hesitation, Liu Heitai faced the Tang army on the opposite side and without even thinking, he directly led his troops to meet them!
On the vast battlefield, the two armies collided violently!
Swing the knife and let it fall!
At this moment, everyone was red-eyed and just remembered to repeat this action mechanically until they fell into a pool of blood!
The most brutal war finally kicked off at this moment!
In hand-to-hand combat, there is no luck, only fighting to the death!
If you don’t retreat, you can’t retreat!
In this case, retreating means death!
If you can look down at the sky at this time, you will find:
On both sides of the battlefield, two men in mysterious clothes and black armor stood as still as rocks!
The people on the other side were dressed in red and gray armor, coming towards us like huge waves!
Apart from this most tragic scene, on a low mountain northwest of the battlefield, there were hundreds of Xuanjia soldiers leading their horses, walking with difficulty along the rugged mountain road.
