The general trend of Li Yuan taking control of Chang'an was settled, but Li Shimin could not calm down. As Li Yuan's army became more and more popular, undercurrents began to surge among Li Yuan's sons.
Li Shimin's ambition was naturally not satisfied with being a prince. He wanted to be the supreme king in the world. However, Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Not to mention that he was good at leading troops and fighting, and he was better than Li Shimin in administrative management.
He also has the status of the eldest son, who is born with great advantages; the other brother Li Yuanji is extremely brave, and his martial arts is even better than that of his two brothers.
Therefore, while Li Shimin was making friends with heroes and attracting talents, he also wanted to do some big things so that Li Yuan would know who was the best successor to the Li clan.
On this day, Li Shimin summoned Yan Ling to discuss important matters again. Yan Ling came to Li Shimin's general's residence and found that all the important talents under Li Shimin's command had arrived. Yan Ling found his seat and sat down, next to Li Shimin who was on the throne.
, Now Yan Ling has become an extremely important general in Li Shimin's hands, and everyone feels that it is natural to sit here.
When everyone arrived, Li Shimin, who was at the head of the table, said with a solemn face: "Everyone, I have called you here to discuss this matter because I have received news that the rebel Xue Ju has gathered 100,000 troops with the intention of attacking Chang'an. Do you have any plans?
Can it be defeated?"
The first scribe under Yan Ling asked: "General, where is Xue Ju's army now?"
No one present doubted the truth of what Li Shimin said. Chang'an is located in the Guanzhong Plain, south of the Wei River and north of the Qinling Mountains. It is thousands of miles of fertile fields and surrounded by mountains. It has been an important transportation and military location since ancient times. Zhou, Qin, and Han all used it as
This was the capital, and it was constantly being built and expanded. Today's Chang'an built a new city via Yang Jian. Not only is its scale the largest in the world, but it also opened a wide canal to divert the Wei River eastward to Tongguan and join the Yellow River.
"Keep" these eight characters.
It is perfectly normal for some people to look down upon Chang'an. Not to mention Wang Shichong and Li Mi who were in the Luoyang area were coveting the city of Chang'an. And Xue Ju was known as the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty. After occupying the Western Qin Dynasty, he always looked at Guanzhong.
In this area, no one is surprised at all when they bring troops to invade.
"Xue Ju's son, Xue Rengao, has led his troops eastward and will arrive in Guanzhong soon. My father has ordered me to send troops to repel the invading army." Li Shimin's tone was calm, but there was a fire burning in his eyes. This was how Li Shimin proved his strength.
Best opportunity.
Seeing that everyone was half-paid and unable to come up with any effective suggestions, Li Shimin turned his eyes and asked Yan Ling: "Yan Ling, do you have any plans?"
Yan Ling smiled slightly and said confidently: "General, there is no need to worry, we only need to crush them in an upright manner, and all enemies will be wiped out."
It is important for people to be self-aware. Yan Ling knew that he was not good at making suggestions, but he was full of confidence in leading the charge. This was not because Yan Ling was arrogant, but because during the capture of Chang'an, Yan Ling discovered that his cavalry would move in as the battle situation became tense.
A magical state in which they can perform frequently and their strength will be further improved after the war.
Yan Ling vaguely realized that this had something to do with the concentration of essence and blood on the battlefield. Although he didn't know whether it was good or bad, at least it had not shown its bad side yet. It was precisely with such a cavalry team that became stronger with each war that Yan Ling was able to
He has such confidence in fighting on the battlefield.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, not expecting Yan Ling to be so straightforward, but then he felt relieved when he thought about Yan Ling's cavalry battalion, which suffered very few casualties and killed many enemies. Yan Ling, who had trained such an invincible elite soldier, was naturally qualified to say such a thing
.
"Yes, what Commander Yan said is correct. We only need to face the enemy head-on." Many generals and staff under Li Shimin agreed. They had won a great victory from Taiyuan to Chang'an. What they lack most now is confidence.
Seeing this, Li Shimin did not want to say anything to undermine the confidence of the generals, so he had to ask everyone to go back and make preparations before the war. He worked harder and figured out a strategy to deal with Xue Ju's army.
Yan Ling returned to the military camp, and not long after, Li Shimin ordered the army to set off and rushed to the front line. Along the way, he received news of defeat from the front.
By the time Li Shimin led his army to Fufeng County, Xue Rengao had already led his troops to defeat the rebel army led by Tang Bi and gathered the defeated generals, thus greatly increasing his strength!
But Li Shimin was not too worried. The strength of the peasant uprising army was uneven. No matter how many defeated soldiers Xue Rengao gathered, he would still be vulnerable to the elite soldiers and generals under his command!
As soon as he arrived at the battlefield, Li Shimin ordered to set up camp on the spot to relieve the fatigue of the army after marching. The next day, he ordered an attack to relieve Fufeng from being surrounded.
As the new commander of the cavalry battalion, Yan Ling naturally became the vanguard and led the cavalry to charge into the formation and disrupt the formation of Xue Rengao's army.
Xue Rengao was not only the son of Xue Ju, but he was also very brave and good at riding and shooting since he was a child. He was known as one of the ten thousand enemies in the army. However, this man was greedy, cruel and murderous by nature, and he was always conceited in order to be able to make plans and achieve things. Xue Rengao was arrogant.
, actually did not take Li Shimin into consideration, and had no intention of retreating when faced with the attack of Li Shimin's army. Instead, because of the overwhelming number of people, he ordered to face the attack of Li Shimin's army head-on.
This is undoubtedly Yan Ling's favorite situation. Yan Ling, who comes from the 21st century, naturally understands that the battlefield is constantly changing, and charging between the two armies is the most direct way. It seems simple and brainless in comparison, but it is also the best way to reflect the winner.
The way to fight for a king.
Yan Ling and Zhao Fei each led a cavalry battalion to launch the charge. The cavalry under both men were well-trained, especially the cavalry battalion trained by Yan Ling with modern military training. Although the number of cavalry battalions was smaller than that of Zhao Fei, it was
Advancing and retreating in a well-organized manner, rushing out of the rush of thousands of horses, the prestige is astonishing!
On the other hand, Xue Rengao's side was a mixed bag of people. Facing Li Shimin's army charge, he appeared extremely panicked. Before the battle, his morale had already begun to decline.
When Yan Ling rushed forward, there was not much resistance left. Yan Ling pierced through Xue Rengao's army in one fell swoop, and then Zhao Fei also rushed in. The two of them worked together to smash Xue Rengao's army into pieces, leaving no one to fight back.
force.
In fact, with the strength of Xue Rengao's army, it should not have been overwhelmed so easily, but Xue Rengao had just conquered a group of rebels, which resulted in uneven personnel in the army. The elite men were yelled at by these defeated soldiers, and their morale was also low.
, unable to exert much strength.
That's why soldiers are more valuable than more. Without Han Xin's ability to lead the army, the larger the army is and the various personnel are mixed together. The commander simply cannot make the army drive like an arm. Once the army has
Once the trend of defeat is reached, it cannot be stopped.
Moreover, the many cavalrymen around Yan Ling were like Yan Ling. As the battle continued, the evil spirit entered their bodies and they became more and more courageous as they fought. The entire cavalry battalion moved back and forth under the leadership of Yan Ling, and Yan Ling swept across with his spear, one after another.
The glow of the iron-blooded spear was hesitating, harvesting the life of the place as if the God of War had come to this world.
It's not that Yan Ling is cold, but that in the battlefield, everyone has his own master. When he steps into the battlefield, his only thought is to defeat the enemy and win the war. This is what Yan Ling already understood when he attacked Chang'an last time and understood the iron-blooded concept.
Realized the truth!
Under the massacre of Li Shimin's army, the battle ended quickly. Li Shimin naturally returned with a great victory, while the invading Xue Rengao could only take advantage of the chaos of the war to escape back to the land of Western Qin.
After this battle, the Western Qin Dynasty was no longer able to look down on the land of Guanzhong in a short period of time. Li Yuan's entry into Chang'an was really determined, and other forces intending to attack Chang'an had to carefully consider whether they could defeat Li Yuan when they raised their troops.
