Chapter 671 The attacking Tang Taizong!

Yubi City blocked the attack of the Ya'er Army several times in a row. However, in this tragic Hedong Battle, the standing Yubi City turned into ruins under the terrifying offensive of the Tang army.

Li Jing and Li Shimin, two peerless generals of the Tang Dynasty, mobilized 800,000 Tang troops, and with a four-fold advantage, they broke through this solid city guarded by the military strategist Wu Qi, and defeated Wu Qi's unbeaten record.

Yubi City is full of broken walls and ruins, and there are still burnt wood emitting rolling black smoke.

Collapsed city walls, arrow towers, and high pavilions can be seen everywhere, gravel is everywhere, and corpses are everywhere, emitting a foul smell.

The flags of the Xia army were burning, and the Tang army was cleaning the battlefield of Yubi City, burying corpses, and confiscating prisoners and weapons.

Li Shimin's combat boots stepped on the Xia army flag lying on the ground, and coldly scanned the ruins of Yubi City.

Yubi City has experienced several major wars, and this time it has become a ruin.

Because the war was too fierce, all fortifications in Yubi City were destroyed by the Tang army. Before evacuating Yubi City, Wu Qi burned the 200,000 stones of food accumulated in Yubi City.

Yubi City was directly abolished and no longer rebuilt, and became history.

"Wu Qi, Xinlingjun escaped?"

"That's right, they should have used the well-connected underground tunnels below Yubi City to escape from Yubi City with a small number of personal soldiers. Yubi City has experienced many major wars before, and the Xia army must have planned various plans in advance. Not only can the tunnel escape, but it can also leave the city to launch a surprise attack when necessary..."

Li Jing led his troops to search for Wu Qi and Xinlingjun, and discovered the tunnels in the city. He had already guessed how Wu Qi and Xinlingjun escaped from Yubi City.

Li Shimin frowned slightly. Although the Tang army captured Yubi City and completely captured Hedong County, the Tang army's results were not so perfect when they let Wu Qi and Xinlingjun escape.

"They fled Hedong and probably returned to Guanzhong. When my army breaks through Chang'an, these people will definitely surrender."

"Please lead the cavalry and take the Guanzhong directly. The soldiers are very fast. Without further ado, we will set out tomorrow."

Li Jing helped Li Shimin take down Yubi City. Because he used the talent of the Six-Army Mirror, Li Jing was exhausted in a short period of time, so he asked Li Shimin to command the cavalry himself and quickly seize Chang'an.

Li Shimin's use of cavalry is not much worse than Li Jing.

What's more, the famous generals under Li Shimin, Su Lie, Li Xun, Xue Wanche, Yuchi Jingde, Li Cunxiao and others were also generals who were good at using cavalry.

The Guanzhong Plain, a flat horse, is a good terrain for using cavalry.

Therefore, Li Jing suggested that Li Shimin take advantage of the situation and break through Chang'an, forcing Zhang Hua's forces to surrender.

Capturing the thief and capturing the king is the most powerful soldier. Li Jing's proposal is to get the key points!

"good!"

Li Shimin recognized Li Jing's proposal and immediately rectified the Tang army's cavalry units, prepared to cross the river and conquer Guanzhong.

As for the Tang army infantry, Li Jing was commanded and followed.

Li Shimin, Li Jing and other military generals of the Tang Dynasty preferred cavalry and paid attention to the use of troops as gods, and the speed of soldiers was the most important. Therefore, Li Shimin conquered Shangdang and Hedong counties and seized all the land north of Zhang Hua's land north of the Yellow River. It was as fast as the wind and plundered like fire!

"The Tang Dynasty is too strong."

Li Cunxu, Li Siyuan, Li Cunshen and other Thirteen Grand Princesses of the Later Tang Dynasty were even more afraid of famous Tang generals such as Li Shimin and Li Jing.

Yubi City, which their Crow Army could not break, was razed to the ground by the Tang army after Li Jing and Li Shimin joined forces.

This shows the power of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Gu

In the Tang Dynasty, there were many famous generals.

If it weren't for the Tang generals such as Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Xue Rengui, Qi Zhu He Li, Cheng Yaojin, etc., who were taken advantage of by Zhang Hua, the Tang army would be even stronger, and even Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu might not be able to block the army of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty beat all countries around the world, and rushed thousands of miles to destroy other countries.

In Fenglingdu, Sun Jian's tens of thousands of Jiangdong navy troops rushed upstream and arrived near Tongguan. When he heard that Hedong was lost, he landed on the south bank and assembled in the Tongguan area.

"This descendant named Li Shimin is too terrible. He actually connected the two counties of Shangdang and Hedong in such a quick time."

Sun Jian volunteered to take the lead and rush to help Hedong, but Hedong was conquered by Li Shimin's Tang army in advance. Li Shimin's speed surprised Sun Jian.

Before the Eastern Expedition, Zhang Hua left a total of 400,000 troops in Shangdang County and Hedong County, but the 400,000 troops were almost wiped out after not being able to resist for a long time.

Yao Xiong's army lost 100,000 troops, and Yao Xiong was captured by the Tang army.

The Wu Qi army suffered even more heavy losses because of defending Yubi City to the death. Although Wu Qi and Xinlingjun, as the main general, escaped, even Wu Qi could only escape from Yubi City with thousands of personal soldiers. The rest of the troops were either killed in battle or captured by the Tang army.

The defense line of the 400,000 army quickly collapsed under the strong offensive of the Tang army.

Li Shimin and Li Jing's ability to capture fighter jets is also extremely terrible. They just chose to launch an offensive at the right time, with a strong momentum and a trend that would take over Chang'an.

Continue to follow this trend, once Li Shimin breaks through Chang'an, occupy Guanzhong, and cuts off the connection between Liangzhou and the Central Plains of Zhang Hua's power, Zhang Hua's power is likely to decline, and Li Shimin will become the most powerful prince in the world!

The princes who can be active until now are all the best heroes in the world, with ruthless means and decisive actions, and are definitely not ordinary people.

Even Sun Jian sighed that Li Shimin's use of cavalry was inferior to that of him.

"Defend Tongguan and support Guanzhong at the same time, so as not to take over Tongguan and cut off reinforcements and return to Guanzhong."

Although Sun Jian was the founder of the Eastern Wu, it does not mean that Sun Jian was not familiar with the terrain of Guanzhong. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Jian once came to Guanzhong and fought with Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo and others to attack Beigong Boyu, Han Sui and others who rebelled in Xiliang. Therefore, Sun Jian was very familiar with Guanzhong and made arrangements immediately.

As expected, as Sun Jian judged, Li Shimin led the cavalry to raid Chang'an while splitting his troops to attack Tongguan, trying to take down Tongguan and cut off the place where Zhang Hua had to pass from Guandong to return to Guanzhong.

Tongguan is the fastest route to return to Guanzhong from Guandong.

With Li Shimin and Li Jing's ability to use troops, he would definitely send troops to occupy various key passes as soon as possible, and try every means to prevent Zhang Hua's main force from returning and bring Guanzhong into his pocket.

Once the wealthy land in Guanzhong is captured and the strong people of Bingzhou, Li Shimin's power will reach its peak.

In the Yellow River, the Xia army's ships continued. Zhang Hua used tens of thousands of ships to transport troops to carry out the largest troop transport operation in history, which was in a mighty way.

From Tongguan to Bianzhou, Xia army ships can be seen everywhere.

In order to speed up the transport of troops, Zhang Hua even forced the fishermen's sampan boats to transport troops.

When news of the fall of Shangdang and Hedong counties came, Zhang Hua couldn't help but be anxious and urged the fleet to return to Guanzhong as soon as possible.

Li Shimin's march was too fast, Guanzhong was shocked, and the people in Chang'an were in panic. Zhang Hua had to return to Guanzhong as soon as possible to preside over the defense.

"The light cavalry disembarked, carried dry food for several days, traveled day and night, and returned to Guanzhong early!"

Zhang Hua despised that the speed of the navy was still too slow, so he personally commanded the cavalry and generals such as Hua Mulan, Yang Miaozhen, Wang Yanzhang, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, etc., and disembarked in Luoyang and carried out a long-distance raid. He raced against the attacking Li Shimin every minute, and it depends on who will take the faster step and the troops will be under Chang'an City!
