Chapter 689 Besieging Li Shimin

In Chang'an City, the war is still ongoing. Zhang Hua and Li Shimin fought at the Zhuque Gate for more than ten days, and the two sides won and lost.

When the troops from each branch of the eastern expedition returned to Guanzhong, Li Shimin's Tang army was in an increasingly difficult situation.

Sima Rangju, Tian Ji, Kuang Zhang and other Qi generals led Qi martial arts and other Qi soldiers to fight fiercely with the Tang army.

Kuang Zhang sent a Qi army to replace it with the armor of the Tang army, trying to disguise itself as the Tang army and seize the Zhuque Gate.

But the six-army mirror of the God of War Li Jing not only has a one-third chance of ignoring the damage suffered by the legion, but also can reflect the enemy and us and see through the disguise of the enemy.

Kuang Zhang's surprise soldier was discovered by Li Jing and besieged by the Tang army. He suffered heavy losses and had to retreat.

"Li Jing, the head coach of the Tang army, is really a difficult enemy and can only fight him head-on, and the plan is almost ineffective."

Kuang Zhang came back from a dusty face. His usual strategy was useless in front of the war god Li Jing, and he couldn't help but be depressed.

Li Jing almost ignored all strategies.

Sima Rangju's Qi army arrived in Chang'an City, Li Ji's Tang army, Wang Meng's Later Qin army, and the Wuhu Camp, Shenbu Camp, and Shenqi Camp of the Imperial Guards began to block Tongguan and Weishui, trying to wipe out the Tang army entering Guanzhong.

Li Shimin cannot fight quickly and may be wiped out.

Li Shimin failed to make progress in the attack on Chang'an City for more than ten days. The fierce general Xue Wanche was captured alive by Zhang Hua and gradually became anxious.

"Your Majesty, while the Xia army is intensifying to Chang'an, blocking our retreat along the Wei River. At this time, we should retreat to Hedong to make a long-term plan."

Based on the information from Liusanmen, Fang Xuanling knew that the Xia army was trying to cut off the Tang army's retreat, so he suggested that it was time for Li Shimin to withdraw his troops.

The opportunity for the Tang army to win the decisive victory lies in Zhang Hua's expedition in the east. Guanzhong was relatively empty and he could only use blitzkrieg and make quick decisions. Once it lasted for a long time, the Tang army's territory economy would not be able to consume the Xia army.

"Pharmacist, what do you think?"

"The military advisor makes sense."

Li Jing was also worried that the retreat would be cut off, and Li Shimin and Li Jing's hundreds of thousands of Tang troops were wiped out in Guanzhong, so he agreed with Fang Xuanling's proposal to withdraw.

"It's a pity that the chess is a big move."

Li Shimin sighed.

If Zhang Hua is one step late, Li Shimin conquers Chang'an City, concentrates the main force, stops Zhang Hua from returning in Tongguan, and obtains reinforcements from Hedong, then Guanzhong will be owned by Li Shimin.

Li Shimin also received news that Tuoba Tao was blocked from Yulin Village, and Tuoba Tao's Xianbei cavalry could not go south to meet with Li Shimin.

The Tang army began to assemble and prepared to return to Guanzhong to make a long-term plan.

"The Tang army is mobilized and most likely it will escape."

When Li Shimin and Li Jing were preparing to withdraw his troops, Wang Meng keenly noticed the intention of the Tang army.

"Li Shimin destroyed half of Chang'an City, occupied Hedong County and Shangdang County, how could he let him go easily? He ordered his troops to encircle and block them."

Zhang Hua ordered the troops of various units to prevent Li Shimin from returning to Hedong.

After returning from the Eastern Expedition, coupled with the troops from Guanzhong and the reinforcements gathered from all over the place, Zhang Hua used nearly one million troops to encircle Li Shimin, while Li Shimin used 800,000 Tang troops to attack Guanzhong, and only 600,000 were left at this time.

The advantage of being surrounded by one million is Zhang Hua.

Li Shimin's Tang army retreated overnight to cross the Wei River.

At this time, heavy snow fell, the Wei River and the Yellow River were frozen, and Li Shimin's Tang army could ignore the river even if it did not bring ships.

This is also the opportunity to use troops selected by Li Shimin.

"Li Shimin, I have been waiting for a long time, and I will compete with each other!"

In the north of the Wei River, Huo Qubing commanded the cavalry of the Shenqi Camp and arranged them to intercept Li Shimin's 600,000 Tang troops.

"Woooooooooooooo~~~"

A thick sound of horns came, and at the end of the horizons on the left and right sides of the Shenqi Camp, a black line appeared. The black line gradually became thicker, and the black flags of Xia Kingdom appeared, slowly like a forest.

On the left, Sima Rangju's Qi army, and on the right, Wang Meng's Later Qin army pressed against the Tang army and cooperated with Huo Qubing's Divine Cavalry Camp to attack the Tang army!

In the rear, Wu Qi led the Wei Wu soldiers, Wei Yan led the Shenbu Camp, and Li Ji led the Tang army to surround the Tang army from behind.

Li Shimin took off the longbow, and he knew that the next battle would be a fierce battle because Zhang Hua would not let them leave Guanzhong easily.

Li Shimin's Tang army almost lost Zhang Hua's lair. If Zhang Hua could let them go so easily, it wouldn't be Zhang Hua.

"Six Army Mirror!"

Li Jing forced his legion talent and his forehead was covered with sweat.

After many consecutive battles, Li Jing activated this talent more than once, but every time he used it, it was a huge mental burden on Li Jing, and even Li Jing couldn't bear it for long.

However, Li Jing gritted his teeth and used his abilities.

Otherwise, the 600,000 Tang troops were wiped out in Guanzhong, and the 200,000 Tang troops lost before, Li Shimin's power would be greatly damaged and he would never be able to gather an army of 800,000.

Li Shimin and Tuoba Gui's Xianbei cavalry used more than one million troops, so there was no need to lose.

"We are willing to protect His Majesty to the death!"

Yuchi Gong, Xue Wanjun and other powerful generals of the Tang army, all of whom were loyal to Li Shimin before the war.

The next battle will be related to the survival of the Tang Dynasty!

If the Tang army cannot break through, it will be defeated.

"This battle is led by Thirteen Taibao as the vanguard. With my Six Army Mirror, it is enough to tear a gap."

Li Jing gathered the adopted sons of Li Siyuan, the second wife Li Sizhao, the third wife Li Cunxu, the eleventh wife Shi Jingsi, the thirteenth wife Li Cunxiao and other Li Keyong to break the formation.

The Thirteenth Grandpa Li Cunxiao, and the Eleventh Grandpa Shi Jingsi were two Taibaos with the highest force, located in the front.

Tang army cavalry protected on both sides, while Tang army infantry gathered in the middle.

Six hundred thousand Tang troops contracted their formation and began to break the formation.

The soldiers of the Tang army all looked solemn. Whether they could return to Bingzhou depends on this battle.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

The war drums of the Tang army sounded, and 600,000 Tang troops began to move and pressed towards the Xia army.

"The Tang army is so powerful. If we can defeat this group of Tang army, the world will be determined."

Zhang Hua wants to completely unify the north, Li Shimin and Liu Xiu are the last two opponents, and the two strongest opponents at present.

After defeating Li Shimin, Liu Xiu was the only enemy in the north.

"Li Jing is likely to break through in the middle and let the five tiger generals keep a close eye on Li Cunxiao."

Zhang Hua was afraid of Li Cunxiao's force. If Li Shimin arranged for Li Cunxiao to open a gap, the Tang army might break through the siege of Xia army and escape from the sky.

The five tiger generals join forces and force can suppress Li Cunxiao, making it impossible for Li Cunxiao to open the gap.

"drive!"

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong, the five generals galloped in front of the formation to lock in Li Cunxiao's aura.

"Lu Bu, how are you?"

Zhang Hua glanced at Lu Bu.

After Lu Bu lost to Li Cunxiao again, his injuries recovered, and Lu Bu could continue to fight again.

Lu Bu's eyes swept across the Tang army: "I and the Five Tiger Generals work together to intercept Li Cunxiao."
