The Guanlong Alliance Army camp was stationed on a high ground five miles west of Chang'an. It covers an area of ​​about 3,000 acres, with thousands of large tents distributed. There were camp bars built around the camp and more than a dozen whistle towers were distributed.

The five thousand troops of the Houmochen family and the Zhao family were responsible for guarding the northwest corner, while the one thousand troops of the Sima family were deployed in the southwest corner. At night, a Tang army scout sneaked into the coalition camp and found the base of the Houmochen army.

The Houmo Chen family's army has 3,000 people, ranking third among all families, second only to the Dugu family and the Yuan family. The head general who commanded this army was Houmo Chenduo's nephew, named Houmo Chen'an, and he also served as the General of Wuyong in the Sui army.

Not long after, his personal soldiers led the scout sent by Li Shimin into the tent. The scout was worried about kneeling down and saluting, "Come on the order of His Highness of Qin to deliver the letter!"

The scout presented a letter, and Hou Mo Chen'an took it and asked, "Is Your Highness the King of Qin still in the ancient city of Chang'an?"

"It's gone, now it's several miles away from the camp."

Hou Mo Chen'an was shocked. He quickly opened the letter and looked carefully. Only then did he know that the 60,000 Tang troops had surrounded them and were about to launch a general attack tonight. He was stunned for a while and asked quickly: "What does Your Highness mean? Why is it not stated clearly in the letter?"

"Your Highness is afraid that I will be caught and the letter falls into Dugu Huaide's hands, so I cannot clearly state in the letter that I will verbally convey Your Highness's plan. The army will break through from the general at the third update tonight and enter the military camp. I hope the general can cooperate."

"Then how should I cooperate?"

"It's very simple. Before the third update, the general needs to withdraw the camp and fill the trench. His Highness said it's best to remove the tent, and then the general's soldiers put a piece of white cloth on their left arm to show the difference. If the general's soldiers can create a surrender momentum in the camp, His Highness said he would take the credit again. In short, in one sentence, I hope that the general will cooperate with the Tang army to attack the camp and all the soldiers surrendered."

Hou Mo Chen'an was a little puzzled. If all the soldiers were to surrender, the best way was to siege and not attack. After ten days and half a month, everyone naturally surrendered. It seemed that His Highness of Qin was very anxious. He only attacked the ancient city of Chang'an last night and was going to conquer the camp today. Since that is the case, why do you still need to attack the ancient city of Chang'an?

Of course, Hou Mo Chen'an would not understand Li Shimin's thoughts, and he had no room for negotiation. Even if he answered whether it was OK or not, Hou Mo Chen'an nodded, "Then it's a matter of just one word. At the third update tonight, I will use the Rockets as the number, and I will help Your Highness with the help of you!"

Hou Mo Chen'an immediately sent soldiers out to patrol the excuse of sending the Tang army scout. Hou Mo Chen'an pondered for a long time and said to his personal soldiers: "Go and invite General Zhao and General Sima to see me!"

Of course, Hou Mo and Chen'an didn't know why the Tang army couldn't wait for a day. Today, Li Shimin received information, and Zhang Xuan added 100,000 troops and personally led the army to Taiyuan, which made Li Shimin anxious.

Li Shimin knew that the Zhou army had encircled Taiyuan but did not fight because the Zhou army wanted to use Taiyuan and Bingzhou to restrain the Tang army. Now, with the end of the Battle of Bashu and Hexi, Zhang Xuan led the army in person. This was actually to seize Taiyuan. How could Li Shimin not be anxious?

Li Shimin didn't care whether Taiyuan could defend Li Shimin, but he had to withdraw Qu Tutong and his army. Only then did Li Shimin decide to attack the Allied Army camp that night, and no longer wait for their own surrender after they had run out of food. He couldn't wait for that time.

In the deep night, Li Shimin stood on a hill several miles away from the coalition camp and stared at the dark outline of the camp. He looked very serious and had no worries about defeating these coalitions. He was deeply worried about the situation in Taiyuan. Can Qu Tutong defend Taiyuan? Will all the forces in Taiyuan City also plan their own plans like the Guanlong coalition?

Now that even the Guanlong nobles have begun to rebel, can we still expect the Bingzhou gentry to still be interested in the Tang Dynasty? Obviously, it is impossible. Outside, there are 200,000 troops facing the border, and inside, there are aristocratic families with ulterior motives. How could Taiyuan still be defended?

The only hope that Li Shimin puts in now is that the Zhou army has not yet stationed troops in Lishi County, and then uses civilian ships, rafts and captured cargo ships to open a passage on Lishi County and the Yellow River so that the Tang army in Taiyuan can withdraw. Although the hope is slim, Li Shimin is still determined to do everything he can to achieve it.

"Your Highness, the time is here!" A personal soldier whispered to Li Shimin.

"Has it been three times?" Li Shimin asked.

"It's already three updates."

Li Shimin turned his head and looked into the woods where the Tang army was ambushing. Generals including Qin Qiong, Wu Yunzhao, Hou Junji, Duan Zhihong, Liu Hongji, Changsun Shunde and other generals were ready. Li Shimin nodded, "Shoot the rocket!"

After saying that, he turned his horse over, turned his head and headed towards the mountain. Three soldiers set their bows and arrows, lit three rockets and shot them into the sky. Three bright rockets crossed the night sky, and even the head of Chang'an City more than ten miles away was clearly visible.

Qin Qiong was responsible for the first wave of attacks. He led three thousand cavalrymen to ambush outside the coalition camp. Three rockets shot up. He waved his hand and "attack!"

Three thousand cavalry followed him to the northwest corner of the camp. At this time, hundreds of soldiers were busy in the northwest corner of the camp. They had filled the trench and used ropes to tug the camp and pulled it hard. The camp and the trench fell down with a loud bang, revealing a large open space. This place was originally hundreds of tents, but now it has been demolished and turned into an open space. The army of the Hou Mochen family and the soldiers of the Zhao family have laid white strips on their right arms, and everything is ready according to Li Shimin's request.

Dugu Huaide received a patrol report at noon and found a large number of Tang troops around. Dugu Huaide was also nervous and ordered the troops to strengthen the guards of the periphery. However, Dugu Huaide did not consider that the Tang army would attack the camp immediately. The Tang army only took the ancient city of Chang'an last night. If he did not trap himself for ten days and half a month, the Tang army would not launch an attack easily.

It is precisely this conventional idea that the coalition camp was not prepared enough, and the soldiers were still sleeping at night and had not yet entered a state of ready combat at any time.

In the middle of the night, Dugu Huaide was suddenly woken up by his personal soldiers. He put on a coat and stood up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Report to the general, the soldiers of the inner patrol found that the tents in the northwest of the camp were demolished. I wonder why?"

Dugu Huaide was stunned. After a while, he remembered that the troops stationed in the northwest corner were the private army of the Hou Mochen family. Do they want to withdraw their troops without authorization?

Dugu Huaide hurriedly put on his armor and ordered, "Take me on the horse!" He wanted to go and see what was going on in person?

The personal soldiers hurriedly brought him a war horse. At this time, a personal soldiers suddenly pointed at the northern sky and shouted: "Look at General!"

Dugu Huaide looked up and saw three fire points appearing in the sky in the north. It was obviously shooting out three rockets. It seemed that the Tang army was sending a signal. Dugu Huaide suddenly became a little nervous. The Tang army was about to take action, and there was another abnormality in the camp in the northwest corner, and he felt a little wrong.

Dugu Huaide hesitated for a moment, and a intuition told him that something might happen tonight, so he still issued an order, "Transfer my order and sound the alarm!"

‘Dang!Dang!Dang!’

The alarm bell in the center of the camp sounded, and the sound was particularly harsh, which immediately woke the sleeping Tang soldiers. The soldiers hurriedly got up and put on armor, and the tents were in chaos.

At the same time, Qin Qiong led the three thousand vanguards Tang army to the coalition camp. The horse's hooves sounded like thunder and the cavalry rushed forward. Their goal was very clear, and they rushed towards the commander's tent at the center of the camp. Tens of thousands of Tang soldiers also rushed towards the coalition camp from three directions.

There were loud drums around, and the shouts of killing were shaking the sky. The Tang army camp also began to chaotic, and soldiers kept shouting: "One hundred thousand Tang soldiers have entered the camp, and the brothers of each camp have surrendered, surrender quickly!"

Various news was disrupting the morale of the army and quickly disintegrated the coalition's will to resist. The major families were disunited and began to consider their respective retreats.

Qin Qiong led the cavalry to the Central Army camp quickly and an army came towards him. It was Dugu Huaide who led more than a thousand soldiers to check the situation in the Northwest Camp and happened to meet the Tang army head-on.

"General Qin, that's Dugu Huaide!" a coalition captain who led the Tang army shouted loudly.

Qin said nothing, and waved his spear and killed Dugu Huaide. Yesterday, Wu Yunzhao picked Dugu Changfeng in the ancient city of Chang'an and made his first contribution. Qin Qiong had already held his breath. Today, His Highness Qin made him the vanguard, which was to give him the opportunity to be the first contribution. In any case, he would not lose the opportunity again.

When Dugu Huaide saw a Tang army coming towards him, he was shocked and raised his sword to fight. Dugu Huaide's martial arts skills were also very brave. He fought fiercely with Qin Qiong for more than a dozen rounds, and finally Qin Qiong caught a loophole in his sword technique. That is, Dugu Huaide's left arm is weak, and two horses kicked the wrong way. Dugu Huaide turned around and cracked. Qin Qiong held a gun in one hand and tweeted it. With a loud bang, he actually picked up the sword with little power. Qin Qiong then pulled out a single mace from his back and hit Dugu Huaide's vest with a mace.

At this time, Dugu Huaide's sword was exhausted, and he could no longer raise a big sword on his left arm. He heard a crisp sound of "bang!". The mace hit Dugu Huaide's back. The heart-protecting mirror was smashed to pieces. The armor leaves were scattered. Dugu Huaide squirted out a mouthful of blood. His body shook and fell down from the horse. He struggled and was about to get up. Qin Qiong's spear had already hit his throat. "If you move again, you will take your life!"

The soldiers behind rushed forward and tied up Dugu Huaide. Seeing that the commander was arrested, more than a thousand soldiers of Dugu Huaide had no intention of fighting, they knelt down and surrendered. Qin Qiong said coldly to Dugu Huaide: "The situation is over. Do you still want your brothers to be slaughtered?"

Dugu Huaide sighed and turned around to his personal soldiers and said, "Go and order the Dugu family soldiers to surrender!"
