In the dark night, there are stars, and under the night, a huge military camp is located around this barren mountain.

Li Chengming sat in the handsome tent, crossing his legs and slightly closing his eyes, as if he was practicing.

"Report!" At this time, a voice came from outside the tent.

Lee Chengming opened his eyes, and a flash of light seemed to flash in his pupils. He calmed down and then said, "Come in!"

"I will meet your highness!" After the words came, Luo Ning outside walked in and half-kneeled down to greet him.

"What's the matter?" Li Chengming asked directly without saying nonsense.

"Report to Your Highness, there are about a thousand thieves in Chang'an ten miles away." Luo Ning clasped his fists and said respectfully, "According to Your Highness's instructions, Mo Jiang has ambushed two thousand cavalry there, killed more than three hundred cavalry, and captured more than five hundred cavalry, but some people have escaped while the chaos. Mo Jiang is not doing anything good, please punish him!"

Hearing Luo Ning's return, Li Chengming's eyes flashed for a moment, but he was not disappointed. After all, from the beginning, he had not had much expectations for his subordinates.

Otherwise, there would be a chance to ambush on the side in advance and two thousand riders were in hand, but they did not keep all the people, but instead let more than one hundred people run away. This alone would be enough to cure Luo Ning's serious crime.

However, as mentioned before, he also knew that although these soldiers under him looked pretty good, there was still a certain gap compared to the elite soldiers sent by Li Shimin.

If this kind of gap is used for example, it is different from the modern ordinary police and special police, so Li Chengming has no great expectations for them.

The reason why he asked Luo Ning to lead his army to ambush was because when he heard Li Shimin's arrangement the day before yesterday, he heard Li Shimin ask Li Mengchang to arrange a thousand light cavalry to attack the military information, so Li Chengming asked Luo Ning to ambush ten miles away and wait.

"Two thousand cavalry can't keep a thousand cavalry. First, remember twenty military sticks. After taking Chang'an, you will go and receive the punishment yourself!" Although you didn't have much expectations for these people, you can't just let it go, so Li Chengming directly asked him to receive the punishment after taking Chang'an.

Although there seems to be very few military sticks in twenty, military sticks do not hit boards like the yamen. What's more, even if you hit boards in the yamen, you can kill people, let alone military sticks.

However, the executor of this military stick is also a human being after all, and it will be difficult for people to take action. As Luo Ning's identity, these twenty military sticks will only be enough to let him lie in bed for half a month at most.

"Thank you!" Although he was punished, Luo Ning did not show any dissatisfaction, but respectfully held his fists and received the punishment.

"Well, go down and disperse the scouts. This place is only thirty miles away from Chang'an. Don't wait until the enemy touches it." Li Chengming ordered again.

Although he had heard of Li Shimin and his friends' plans before, the battlefield was changing rapidly. Who stipulated that Li Shimin made plans yesterday and could not change it today?

"Yes, Your Highness, finally you will leave!"

Seeing Luo Ning retreating, Li Chengming's eyes flashed for a moment, and then he got up and walked back to the lounge behind the tent.

The incident just now was just an episode for Li Chengming. That is, he made arrangements casually when he heard the planning of Li Shimin and others. It was nothing. After all, it was just a thousand light cavalry. For Li Shimin, who already has 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry, it was a drop in the bucket. Even if it didn't work, it was nothing. The reason was the same as above. There was no difference between tens of thousands of troops, and one thousand or less than one thousand more.

In fact, he also knew that this was just a small test by Li Shimin, and the purpose should be to test why he dared to lead his army to attack Chang'an.

Although Li Shimin was cruel and ruthless, he was also very meticulous. Otherwise, he would not have established a hundred cavalry early and inserted it into the army of various state roads.

Of course, it was precisely because of his cautious attitude that he thought that Li Chengming had something to rely on that he came up to test Li Chengming's strength.

However, Li Shimin never thought that Li Chengming's troops were actually less than 50,000 miscellaneous troops found by the Hundred Cavalry, but his real trump card would only be taken out when he was outside Chang'an City.

So, even if he is asked to test it, so what?

Li Chengming had already planned everything and would defeat him in one battle. No matter how many conspiracies he had, I would suppress it with all my might.

The night passed, and soon the third update came, and thousands of followers in the military camp began to wash rice, wash vegetables, and make rice with fire. At the fourth update, the sleeping soldiers got up, then ate and started to clean the camp. At the fifth update, when everyone was packed up, they set off.

The army set off, and before dawn, the soldiers in the army advanced with torches. They stretched for more than ten miles. From a distance, they looked like a fire dragon, extremely spectacular.

Li Chengming sat cross-legged on Zhu Gangli's head and slowly followed the center of the army. In addition to the five hundred personal guards, he also followed Luo Ning, Xue Wanche, and three thousand light cavalry.

As the highest-ranking person in this army, he should naturally enjoy the highest treatment and the most stringent protection.

Although, in his opinion, this kind of protection is simply dispensable to him.

Thirty miles of land, not long or short, after Li Chengming led tens of thousands of soldiers and walked for more than an hour, he finally saw the majestic Chang'an.

At this time, the sun in the sky had just risen for a while, and the whole of Chang'an was shrouded in a golden sunlight, like a giant city made of gold.

However, on the walls of this giant city made of gold, there were already dense crowds of soldiers guarding the city. These people were all wearing armor, holding spears, or holding bows and arrows, as if they were heavenly soldiers guarding the giant city of gold, and were extremely majestic.

Li Chengming led his army to stop five miles away from Chang'an. Then Xue Wanche and Luo Ning began to arrange troops according to Li Chengming's previous order. One thousand cavalry and ten thousand infans were arranged into a square formation, and a total of three square formations were arranged, which corresponded to the three city gates of Anhua, Mingde and Qixia.

However, just as they were placing troops, they suddenly saw the Mingde Gate gate in the middle open, and then a team of thousands of light cavalry rushed over. It was not until about two miles away from Li Chengming's army that they stopped. Then dozens of cavalry rushed out hundreds of meters, and then shouted at the military formation, "Dis traitor Li Chengming, dare to come forward and have a family?"
