Chapter 224 The Xuanjia Army defeats the enemy and wins!

On the canopy,
Beimang·Jingling
Li Shimin climbed to the Jingling Mausoleum of Emperor Xuanwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

When overlooking the huge Eastern Capital under the mausoleum.

All you can see is smoke and dust everywhere, and the streets are dilapidated.

"I came to Luoyang once in Aye when I was a child."

Wearing fish scale black armor, holding the sword on his waist.

Li Shimin recalled.

"At that time, Luoyang City had magnificent palaces and bustling streets. It was richer and more prosperous than Chang'an."

"nowadays……"

A dark-skinned and bearded general behind him was silent.

"Boom!"

The ground trembled, and the horses' hooves hitting the ground made a heavy rumble.

A burly warrior also wearing black armor came to report:

"King Qin! The leader of the thieves, Wang Shichong, led more than 10,000 cavalry to surround us!"

Holding the handle of the knife, he looked at the smoke and dust in the distance.

Li Shimin said calmly:

"Send the flag and ask Qu Tutong to get ready."

He glanced at the five hundred cavalry behind him.

Each one was wearing black clothes and black armor.

Under the sunlight, five hundred pairs of black armor glowed with a dark luster.

The heavy cavalry was concealed by the visor, making it even more intimidating.

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Zheng Jun, whose flag was waving at the foot of the hillside.

A smile appeared, he pulled down his chin and took out the horizontal knife.

“Everyone, today is the time for you to make your voice heard!

"Listen to my orders! Defeat the enemy! Victory!"

……

[On September 21, Li Shimin used 500 cavalry to observe the terrain of the battlefield first, and met Wang Shichong with more than 10,000 people. The two armies fought, and Wang Shichong was defeated. The Tang army beheaded 3,000 people. 】

[Captured Wang Shichong's general Chen Zhilue, Wang Shichong only escaped by himself. 】

[After this battle, Li Shimin carefully selected more than a thousand elite cavalry, equipped with the sharpest weapons, all wearing black clothes, black armor, uniforms, and masks. Formed an elite among the elite, Xuanjia Army. 】

[Divided into two teams on the left and right, led by Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Jingde, and Zhai Changsun respectively. 】

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che scratched his head.

You call this observing the terrain?

Isn't it obvious that he is fishing?
"I like this boy more and more now."

Brave and cunning.

Although it is difficult to evaluate this behavior of using oneself as bait.

But this confident and proud character is too much for his temper!
What's more, his abilities also support his character and behavior.

"Although it is a bit reckless, this kind of great victory with less to defeat more can really inspire the soldiers and frighten the enemy."

Liu Che opened his mouth to praise.

"It's just that these armors don't look good in black. It would be nice if they were replaced with red ones."

Huo Qubing's face froze.

Is this a hint?
No, absolutely not!
I don’t understand. I didn’t understand.

Let’s think about this tactic of foot-cavalry coordination in the sky!

There's no point in blitzing all the time.

Press forward step by step and watch the enemy fall into despair!

This is interesting!
……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Looking at the sky, Zhu Zhanji was very confused.

"Grandpa, this Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty likes to take a small number of cronies to investigate the enemy's situation."

"Was he really not afraid of an accident when he did this?"

"When I beat Xue Rengao, I didn't see him so...so..."

Zhu Di lay on the rocking chair and shook his head:
"I guess I discovered the benefits and importance of doing this when I beat Liu Wuzhou."

"Another point is that even if Tang Taizong did this, he could really discover the enemy's shortcomings."

"Then create conditions for the next attack to defeat the enemy."

"It's different from those who show off their courage for a moment and end up ruining themselves."

"However, Li Shimin was able to do this because he was young. After all, he stopped doing this when he played against Korea.

……

[In October, Guanzhou, Yingzhou, Yangcheng, Bianzhou, etc. all surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. 】【On the first day of December, Xuzhou, Bozhou and Suizhou also surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. 】

[Huaibei and Xuzhou also surrendered one after another, leaving Zheng with only an isolated city in Luoyang. 】

……

On the canopy,
Twenty thousand Zheng troops are storming Qingcheng Palace at the foot of Beimang Mountain.

suddenly,

A ray of smoke rose into the sky from within the Tang army.

Subsequently,

A black shadow rose from behind Zheng Jun.

Coming with unstoppable momentum!

The rising dust billows and comes like a sea wave!

The black Xuanjia army crashed into the enemy army.

moment!

The harsh sound of swords clashing sounded!

The thunderous sound was mixed with screams and howls.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and the ground was stained with blood.

One of the black knights brandished a long sword and went forward in an invincible manner, killing Zheng's army forcefully.

……

[On February 621, AD, Li Shimin moved the general camp to Qingcheng Palace. 】

[Wang Shichong took advantage of the Tang army to build a camp and led the 20,000 main force in the city out of Fangzhumen. They relied on the walls and trenches of Gumafang and lined up near the valley to resist the Tang army. 】

[Li Shimin set up the Xuanjia Army in Beimang Mountain and ordered Qu Tutong to lead 5,000 infantry across the water to attack Wang Shichong. 】

[Using Langyan as a signal, he led his cavalry to charge down from Beimang Mountain. 】

[This battle lasted from Chen Shi to Noon. Although Zheng Jun was dispersed by Li Shimin's troops many times, Wang Shichong's unexpected tenacity this time "there are only a few who were separated and reunited."]

[However, objective facts do not change due to subjective emotions. 】

[The combat effectiveness of the Tang Army far exceeded that of the Zheng Army, and Li Shimin was not comparable to Wang Shichong. 】

[After noon, the Zheng army was defeated and Wang Shichong retreated to Luoyang. Li Shimin took advantage of the victory and pursued him all the way to the gates of Luoyang City, killing and capturing more than 8,000 people in total. 】

……

Period of Emperor Guangwu of Yanhan Dynasty

Liu Xiu looked at Zheng Jun who had gathered several times in the sky and couldn't help but sigh.

This Wang Shichong is not an idle person.

Able to seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

Can quickly organize an army of 20,000.

Able to personally command the army to compete with the Tang army.

All signs point to his superhuman military ability.

Unfortunately, he met the superior Li Shimin.

He was a little suspicious now. The battle at Qingcheng Palace was Li Shimin's second fishing trip.

He was really well prepared.

……

Great Song Dynasty,

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the Xuanjia Army in the sky and thought.

Although the Tang Army's infantry has strong individual combat effectiveness, the soldiers are well-equipped and well-trained, and they are capable of close combat and long-range water combat.

But the real battlefield magic weapon of the Tang army was heavy cavalry.

From the early to the mid-term, from Mobei to the Western Regions, they relied on heavy cavalry to achieve countless great victories in which they defeated more with less.

You don’t need to have much of this stuff, five hundred to one or two thousand is enough.

As long as you use it properly and break through the formation at critical moments, you can achieve results determined by a battle.

"Yan Yun..."

……

[After this battle, Wang Shichong hunkered down in Luoyang. 】

[The Tang army began to besiege Luoyang City. 】

[But as the capital of the East, Luoyang's city defenses were very strong. Zheng Jun in the city had a trebuchet with a range of 200 steps. 】

[As well as a giant bed crossbow with a range of 500 steps and eight bows combined, these weapons caused a lot of casualties to the Tang army. 】

[Li Shimin attacked the city from all sides, day and night, and failed to capture it for more than ten days. 】

[Some people in the city tried to open the city gate to meet the Tang army more than a dozen times, but they were discovered and killed by Zheng Jun before they could make a move. 】

[On February 621, AD, Dou Jiande of Hebei led an army of people from the lower reaches of the Yellow River to rescue Wang Shichong of Luoyang. 】

 Li Keyong's Crow Army is also in black clothes and black armor. Is this considered a tribute?
