Eight hundred and fiftieth chapters surprise attack on Meridian Valley

Just after the right-wing Turkic cavalry failed to attack like stormy waves.

A general rushed to the watchtower where Li Shimin was and reported: "Your Majesty, you have found a large number of people east of Jingyang. They are forcing the Jing River to come to Sanyuan!"

After hearing this, Li Shimin turned around and said, "Whose people are they? Are they Chai Shao and Yang Shidao's people?"

"Report to your Majesty, I don't know, but most of them are cavalrymen. Do you want to be subordinates to explore again?"

When Fang Xuanling heard this, Du Ruhui and others looked at each other, and Li Shimin's expression also darkened.

"No need, is there any news about Chai Shao?"

"Your Majesty hasn't, I will visit you again."

Just now, another general came to report: "Your Majesty, Chang'an has come to report, and Ziwu Road found an unknown enemy. Now the contact between Chang'an and Hanzhong has been interrupted."

Li Shimin's body was shocked, and Fang Xuanling said in shock: "What did you say about Ziwu Valley Road?"

The general bowed his head and said, "If you go back to Fang Gong, it is the Ziwu Valley Road."

The Ziwu Valley Road is the main road leading to Chang'an in Hanzhong. Wei Yan once suggested to Zhuge Liang that Zhuge Liang would use his regular troops to go out of Longyou and to conquer Hexi. He led his own strange troops to join forces and leave the Qinling Mountains to the east. When Ziwu goes north, he can reach Chang'an in just ten days, take Chang'an, and then seize Guanzhong.

It only takes ten days to get from Hanzhong to Chang'an. Although the Ziwu Valley Road is steep, it is the closest road to Chang'an. Wei Yan suggested to Zhuge Liang that year, just saying that no one dared to smuggle here since ancient times.

Li Shimin looked up at the sky and looked away without saying a word when he pressed his sword.

Fang Xuanling clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, at this moment, you can only burn your boats!"

Du Ruhui also said, "Your Majesty. If you don't make a decision at this moment, you won't have to make a decision in the future."

After hearing this, Li Shimin looked at the Zhao army and said, "I have never believed it. With personal strength, we cannot reverse the trend. Man will conquer nature, but now... all the affairs of all the people are in human affairs. If they are defeated today, it will not be in vain to fight vigorously."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui burst into tears and said, "I am willing to fight to the death with Your Majesty."

"Report to Your Majesty, Shan Xiongxin, who led 20,000 troops to reinforce Sanyuan, has now passed Fuping, less than twenty miles away from here."

After hearing this news, Li Shimin was ambitious at this moment. He waved his hand and said, "The Zhao army came from two reinforcements. Our army had to rush to defeat the current enemy before the reinforcements. Pass the order and the entire army attacked and attacked Li Chongjiu's central camp."

After listening to Li Shimin's order.

The sound of trumpets came one after another, and 80,000 Tang troops came out of the battle, with bright armor, as if they gathered into a sea of ​​metal. Under the guidance of their respective generals, tens of thousands of Tang troops gathered into a dense siege queue and moved forward.

In front is a loose cavalry line.

On the back are majestic and strong infantry phalanxes, such as Qu Tutong, Hou Junji, Gao Shilian, Zhang Liang, Zhang Gongjin, Tang Jian, Lu Zushang, Shi Danai, Gongsun Wuda, Dugu Yanyun, Shi Wanbao, Sheng Yanshi and other generals.

Beside Li Shimin were three thousand elite Xuan armored cavalry, and the left and right generals were Zhai Changsun, Qiu Xinggong, Liu Shili, and Du Junchuo.

Li Tang had elite troops coming out to attack the Zhao army's central camp.

After approaching the Zhao army camp, the cavalry retreated from the wings of the infantry formation, hundreds of catapults and crossbows were carried to the front of the formation, and launched an attack on the Zhao army's wall. The Zhao army also arranged a large number of eight-sled cannons and bull crossbows on the front. However, the Zhao army's bull crossbows and eight-sled cannons were better than the Tang army in terms of range and quantity.

The two armies had long-range weapons, and they bombarded each other.

From time to time, you can see the catapult, the crossbow was smashed and flew into the sky.

After a moment of slaughtering machine and crossbow, only three or four tenths of the Tang army's weapons were left in siege, but the Zhao army's double-layer wall was directly destroyed.

However, after destroying the first wall, the second wall still stood up, becoming a new obstacle for the Tang army to advance. The Zhao army soldiers also retreated to the second wall to guard the guard. The Tang army sent light troops forward to clear the obstacles.

The battlefield fell into silence for a moment.

Li Chongjiu looked at the battlefield and said to Xu Shiji on the side: "Li Shimin originally had not moved the central army, but now he has a thunder attack, but what changes are there on the battlefield?"

Xu Shiji said: "Li Shimin suddenly sent troops, obviously he wanted to make a quick decision. I believe that if it was Tongzhou or Jingyang reinforcements, Li Shimin would not react so much. So I boldly guessed that it should be that the right-hand army of the Protector of the King of the Capital was approaching, or that the surprise troops of General Song had already captured Hanzhong and attacked Chang'an from the small path of Ziwu Valley."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Yes, Li Shimin can't help it. He wants to decide to fight quickly. Then as long as he holds on and holds up the time, our army can win."

Li Chongjiu paused and said, "But Xu Aiqing, Li Shimin's troops have the advantage, and the attack below is absolutely tragic. If we are defeated here, even if Wang Junkuo and Song Jingang's troops arrive now, it will be useless. What can you do to defend it?"

Xu Shiji walked forward and said, "Your Majesty! I believe that it is not the best way to stick to it. I beg your Majesty to hand over the power of command in the war to me. I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations."

When Li Chongji heard Xu Shiji say this, he nodded and said, "I believe in you!"

"No!" Xu Shiji said with his fists. After saying that, Xu Shiji rode his horse toward the bottom of the mountain.

After the Tang army quickly cleared the obstacles in the peripheral areas, the infantry formation continued to advance.

The Tang army's infantry formation was heavy and solid. In front was a row of shield formations. This row was made of spears, crossbowmen, and Tang army soldiers were carrying bamboo ladders. In the back were residual siege weapons such as crossbows and catapults.

When the infantry guarded the infantry formation, when the infantry was still five hundred steps away from the wall, in order to avoid being hit by the crossbow on the wall, they left the formation in advance and retreated from the wings of the wings of the infantry formation. Li Shimin was also worried that the Zhao army's crossbow and catapults were too sharp. Cavalry was very precious to the Tang army and could not be consumed in advance.

But it was just a moment ahead of time that the front wall of Zhao army suddenly fell forward with a bang.

After the wooden wall hit the ground, a burst of dust was raised. After the dust settled, the original position of the wall was replaced by the Zhao army's equipped iron cavalry. The Zhao army's equipped iron cavalry was an elite soldier established since Huaihuang Town. Later, Li Chongjiu selected Wuguna, a warrior of the Marine, and used 800 Marine cavalry to fill it.

Now there are three thousand iron cavalrymen in Zhao's army. At the order of Xu Shiji, Wugunai led three thousand heavy cavalry and roared out from behind the wall.

The cavalry of the Marine were covered with iron faces, and from people to war horses were covered with heavy armor. They held weapons such as maces and Guduo in their hands, and then rode tall horses from Liaodong, sweeping the Tang soldiers like a gust of wind.

The heavy shield soldiers in the front row of the Tang army were unable to defend against the heavy armored cavalry's stepping formation and were defeated in an instant. The soldiers of the Marai swung their maces, bones, and hammers, and rushed through the Tang army formation. The war horses were galloping at high speed. With such heavy weapons, no one could stop them. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
