Confederate Barracks

call out!
"Uh!--"

An arrow shot and killed a Confederate sentry.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The entire barracks suddenly became tense, and Su Lie (Su Dingfang) came out with [-] cavalry to investigate the situation.

"What happened?"

Su Dingfang held a lance and rode a high-quality jujube horse, and asked the other sentries.

"General, someone is provoking!" The sentinel pointed to two people in the distance, one was a handsome young man and the other was a strong man, both of them were riding on top-quality sweat horses from the Western Regions.

The handsome young man was Li Shimin, and I don't know what method he used to convince his father and other generals to let him continue to attack Luoyang.

The brawny man is Cheng Zhijie (Cheng Yaojin), who had just defected to Li Shimin not long ago. He was originally a bandit, but later he joined Wagangzhai and became Li Mi's capable general. Later, after Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong, he defected to Wang Shichong , was arranged by Wang Shichong to take 5000 people to assist Yan Ming in attacking Liu Wuzhou. In the end, Wang Shichong was defeated, so he defected to Li Shimin, and was impressed by Li Shimin's personal charm.

Apart from his fondness for burning, killing and looting, and being unable to change his banditry habits, Cheng Zhijie is a well-deserved hero in the world.

Today, Li Shimin brought Cheng Yaojin (Cheng Zhijie) to provoke the Allied Army, and there were only two of them.

"I am Li Shimin, come and kill me! Hahahaha!"

Li Shimin was still mocking at the Allied army barracks.

"Humph!"

Su Lie snorted coldly, and led five hundred cavalrymen to chase and kill Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin.

Seeing the allied cavalry chasing and killing them, Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin immediately ran back on horseback.

While running, he drew his bow and shot arrows backwards.

call out!
A Xia Guo cavalry was shot and killed.

"Can't catch me, can't catch me, hahaha!"

Li Shimin did not forget to provoke with words.

Li Shimin's and Cheng Yaojin's mounts were top-quality horses among sweat horses. They were much faster than ordinary horses, and Xia Guo's cavalry couldn't catch up at all.

Moreover, Li Shimin's bows and arrows are also specially tailored, and their range is farther than ordinary bows and arrows, so Li Shimin can shoot Xia Guo soldiers, but Xia Guo soldiers cannot shoot Li Shimin.

Li Shimin is a sharpshooter, and now he is flying a kite crazily, moving, moving, and moving.

Seeing that Li Shimin and Li Shimin could not be chased, Su Lie had no choice but to take the cavalry back to the barracks.

However, Li Shimin chased after Su Lie's cavalry and shot arrows at the Xia cavalry.

"hateful!"

Su Lie turned his head again and continued chasing and killing Li Shimin. There were three Xia Guo cavalrymen with sharp eyesight and quick hands, who had already caught up with Li Shimin while Li Shimin was still turning his horse's head.

however……

clang!
puff!

"what!--"

Cheng Yaojin stabbed a Xia Guo cavalry to death with one spear, then hit a Xia Guo cavalry on the temple with his elbow, and finally pulled out his horse and killed another Xia Guo cavalry.

Li Shimin and Li Shimin made a false alarm and pulled the distance again. Relying on their faster horse and longer range, they continued to pull and fly the kite crazily.

Once Su Lie wanted to go back to the barracks, they followed cautiously and shot arrows at the backs of the Xia cavalrymen.

In the end, Su Lie couldn't bear it anymore, and led the rest of the cavalry to chase after Li Shimin, determined to catch up with this nasty guy.

After chasing after them, Su Lie's cavalry entered the ambush circle that Li Shimin had arranged in advance. Thousands of Tang cavalry rushed out suddenly, killing Xia's cavalry and routed them.

With five or six guards, Su Lie escaped by chance and returned to the barracks.

Confederate Barracks

"Emperor Xia, your generals attacked without authorization and made our allied army lose in the first battle. This will deal a huge blow to the morale of the allied army."

The leader of the alliance, Yan Ming, looked dissatisfied. As soon as the fight started, there was a bad news of defeat.

"I will definitely punish him well." Dou Jiande admired Su Lie very much and wanted to protect Su Lie.

"Yeah." Yan Ming nodded and said no more. After all, this is someone else's soldier and also someone else's general. It has nothing to do with him, so it is not suitable for meddling too much.

"Let's ask the lord to follow the law and punish Su Lie with thirty lashes!"

However, outside the military tent, Su Lie has a strong temper. He was very ashamed of his defeat and voluntarily asked for punishment.

"Huh?" Yan Ming looked at the meaning of the others, and finally at Dou Jiande's meaning. After understanding their meaning, Yan Ming said, "It's Tang Lu who is too cunning, and I can't blame General Su entirely, but the military law If it can’t be done away with, then… let’s take three whips!”

Afterwards, Su Lie took off his clothes and lay down obediently. A soldier from Yan State stepped forward and whipped him three times on the back.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Su Lie didn't say a word. He thought he deserved it. If a general wins a battle, he should be rewarded. If he loses a battle, he should be punished.

After the whipping, Yan Ming patted Su Lie on the shoulder again, encouraging him: "Come on! Work hard!"

"The last general! The last general! I will do my best!" Su Lie was moved and vowed in his heart that he would win the battle beautifully and repay Yan Ming.

The State of Yan only sent a hundred soldiers to join the battle, so they were not responsible for specific operations. They were only responsible for manipulating the king's cannon, protecting Yan Ming's safety, and enforcing military laws.

two days later
The Allied Army's 30 troops formally attacked Hulaoguan, and the land was densely populated with people.

Inside Hulao Pass, there are only [-] defenders, including [-] Xuanjia troops.

The so-called Xuanjia Army is actually Tang's armored cavalry. Compared with ordinary armored cavalry, they have high morale and rich combat experience, and their combat effectiveness is second only to Yan's Iron Buddha.

"Now that the 30 troops from the Kwantung region are under pressure, what shall we do?" the guard at Hulao Gate was very frightened.

"Don't be afraid, let them march and attack. We will take the initiative to attack in the afternoon when the sun is in the west!" Li Shimin was also a little nervous, but just nervous, not at all afraid.

He obviously only has 5000 people in his hands for the time being, but he still has to take the initiative to attack in the face of an army of 30.

"Offense is the best defense!"

Cheng Yaojin was also encouraging everyone, his eyes were also eager to try.

boom!
Suddenly, there was a shocking sound, and a stone bomb fell from the sky, smashing hard on the tower of Hulao Pass, collapsing the tower and killing several soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

"Is that the King of Yan's cannon? It really deserves its reputation!" Li Shimin looked at the King of Yan's cannon that was aiming at him under the city wall, and his heart was full of longing.

How could I, Li Shimin, not have such an artifact of war?If Gu sees it, he must be Gu!
However, Yan Ming was too stingy, and only brought one king cannon, and after firing twenty stone bombs, she refused to fire it no matter what, for fear that the king cannon would explode.

I would rather let the Allied soldiers attack the city with their bodies than lose the durability of the artillery.

However, before the siege, the Allies began to quarrel again.

Everyone hopes to let other people's army attack the city first, and their own army will take advantage of it later.

Dou Jiande hopes that Luo Yi's soldiers will attack the city first, Luo Yi hopes that Dou Jiande's soldiers will attack the city first, Yu Wenhuaji hopes that Du Fuwei's soldiers will attack the city first, and Du Fuwei hopes...

Everyone was arguing, but no one wanted to be the first to attack the city, and the warlords were unwilling to use their soldiers to consume Li Tang.

Looking at the warlords and princes arguing with each other, Yan Ming deeply felt Cao Cao's disappointment.

Grandma's, a bunch of mobs, are just as useless as his mother's anti-Dong coalition forces!

Counting on this group of trash to speed through Li Tang, the sun is really coming out from the west.
