The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 227 The Battle of Hulao Pass (Part )
On the canopy,
Hulao Pass.

"Report!"

One of the scouts got off his horse, knelt down on one knee and said:
"Your Highness King Qin, the enemy troops have dispatched from the camp!"

Wearing black armor, Li Shimin slowly opened his eyes with his eyes closed to rest.

"Don't be impatient. Speak slowly."

"Back to the King of Qin, Dou's army formed a large formation. They were marching and beating drums at the same time. They were extremely flamboyant!"

"What's the scale?"

"The news coming from the directions of the Yellow River, Queshan Mountain and Sishui River estimates that the queue is nearly twenty miles wide and must be moving in full force."

Li Shimin was delighted when he heard this.

"Guards! Go with me to conduct reconnaissance!"

After that, he mounted his war horse, led the guards out of the city, and climbed up the high hill to watch.

I saw the thundering drums of Dou Army in the distance and the flags and flags were bright.

The soldiers and horses along the Si River were like a long snake, and the frontal array stretched for more than 20 miles, and thick dust was raised wherever they passed.

……

[On the second day of May, Dou Jiande indeed led all his troops out from the west of Banzhu and set up formation on the east bank of Sishui River. 】

[The long formation is bordered by a river to the north and Que Mountain to the south. The front of the formation is as wide as twenty miles. The drums are beating to challenge. 】

[Li Shimin led his troops to form a stalemate on the west bank of the Sishui River, and climbed up to look at the opposing generals. 】

["The thieves started from Shandong, but they have never seen a big enemy. Today, they are in danger and the troops are clamoring, so the orders are not restrained. When they force the city to form a formation, they have the intention of underestimating me. Wait until they are hungry, and they will be defeated."]

[So it was decided to stand still and send a small force to deal with Dou Jiande's army. At the same time, he sent people to recall a thousand war horses left in Hebei. When Dou Jiande's army was weak, he could defeat it in one fell swoop. 】

……

Datang.

"Aye, Aye! Why don't you just attack the opponent while they're still on a weak footing?"

Xiao Li Zhi pulled Xiao Sizi and ran to Li Shimin's side, pulled on Li Shimin's clothes and asked.

Li Shimin was kissing Empress Changsun, and when he heard this, he glanced at his younger son with disgust.

"First, the horses from Hebei had not returned yet; second, we had a dangerous pass to defend; and third, the poisonous sun in the sky was our good partner at that time."

"It's just like the Battle of Qilu Changshao in the Spring and Autumn Period."

Xiao Li Zhi blinked when he heard this, and Xiao Sizi on the side also blinked and said:
"Aye, is there a short spoon battle?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin picked up little Sizi with a smile and said:

“The Spoon in the Battle of the Spoon is a place name.”

"The so-called 'fighting means courage. One burst of strength will weaken again, and three times it will be exhausted. When the enemy is exhausted, I will be full, so I can overcome it...'"

"This sentence is what Cao GUI said in the Battle of Changshao."

Then he pricked Xiao Sizi's face with his beard.

"Does Xiao Sizi know this time?"

"Haha! Aye! Xiao Sizi knows!"

……

[Dou Jiande's army formed an array along the Si River. From Chen time to noon, the soldiers were hungry and tired. They all sat on the ground, fighting for water and disorder. 】

[Seeing this, Li Shimin immediately ordered Yu Wenshi and his 300 cavalry to pass through Dou Jiande's army formation from the west to the south to test the formation first. 】

[He also warned him: "If Dou Jiande's army is in good order and does not move, it should return to the army. If there is any movement in the formation, it can lead troops to advance eastward."]

[When Yu Wenshi and his troops passed by Dou's army's formation, Dou's army's formation was indeed in turmoil. 】

[Li Shimin saw the opportunity and ordered an attack. He personally led three thousand black cavalry to charge directly towards Dou's army camp. 】

……

On the canopy,
Li Shimin, who was wearing black armor, pulled down his lower face mask.

Pick up the horse's trunk and clamp the horse's belly.

Then he rushed straight towards the enemy like an arrow from a string!

"Xuanjia Army! Won victory!"

The dark knight behind him followed closely behind!

The flat-ended horse pole instantly penetrated countless soldiers and split them into two!
Dou Jun, who was already exhausted, had no intention of fighting anymore and was instantly defeated and dispersed.

Simultaneously.

A large flag embroidered with golden Chinese characters was unfurled among Dou's troops.

Hunting into the wind!

……

[At that time, Dou Jiande was in a meeting with the generals. 】

[I heard that when Li Shimin led his army to attack, he hurriedly wanted to return to command, but it was too late. 】

[Dou Jun did not have time to form a formation to resist, so he hurriedly responded, but Li Shimin broke into his formation and unfolded the Tang flag from behind. 】

[Sergeant Dou thought the camp was occupied and quickly collapsed. 】

[Li Shimin also ordered Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao, Yu Wenxin and others to lead troops to outflank Dou's army's retreat. 】

[The Tang army pursued for thirty miles, and more than 3,000 Dou soldiers were beheaded and 50,000 people were captured. 】

[During the rebellion, Dou Jiande was injured in the middle and retreated to Niukouzhu. 】

[Tang Dynasty cavalry generals Bai Shirang and Yang Wuwei pursued him, and Dou Jiande fell off his horse in panic. 】

[When Bai Shirang raised his spear and was about to stab him, Dou Jiande hurriedly said: "Don't kill me. I, the King of Xia, can make you rich and noble." Yang Wuwei dismounted and captured Dou Jiande. 】

[This is how the Battle of Hulao Pass ended. 】

[On the eighth day of May, Li Shimin took Dou Jiande and others to the gate of Luoyang City to demonstrate to Wang Shichong and the Luoyang defenders. 】

[On the ninth day of May, Wang Shichong surrendered. 】【So far, in the Battle of Hulao Pass, Li Shimin captured two kings in one battle and pacified all the territories once separated by Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande. 】

[The North is unified again. 】

……

Great Qin.

He wrapped himself in a black fur coat.

Ying Zheng, holding the bamboo slip in his hand, could hardly conceal his envy.

"Courageous, resourceful, resolute and resolute."

"Ugh……"

"If this is my son, I will teach you the art of the emperor with all my heart."

"pity……"

Ying Zheng shook his head.

The so-called high power shocks the master.

If your father can tolerate you, can your elder brother tolerate you?
"What a wonderful son..."

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Looking at the sky, Liu Che knocked on the table.

The defeats of Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong were not unexpected.

This battle of Hulao Pass is a classic case of siege and reinforcements.

It is undeniable.

The Tang army was well-equipped and powerful.

But Li Shimin's victory mainly lies in his appropriate combat guidance.

Before the war is launched, personally understand the enemy's situation, and track and understand changes in the enemy's situation at any time.

When it came time to make war decisions, he made decisive decisions and was good at choosing the direction of attack and the timing of the decisive battle.

During the war, facing the enemy's superior strength, decisively choose the strategy of breaking through from the middle and going straight to the heart of the opponent.

He often takes the lead and personally directs battles, which greatly boosts morale while grasping the enemy's situation.

"Hero boy."

Liu Che couldn't help but sigh.

"Li Yuan has a good son."

"But how should you face the prince?"

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
"There is a very important reason why we can win the battle of Hulao Pass. Do you see what it is?"

Zhu Di turned over the "Art of War" in his hand and asked Zhu Zhanji calmly.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the book cover in Zhu Di's hand and recalled the contents of The Art of War in his mind.

Then he raised his head and said:
"This is the way to fight an enemy."

Zhu Di looked at the military book without raising his head.

Zhu Zhanji continued respectfully:

"As far as the army is concerned, Tang Taizong decisively occupied the strategic location of Hulao from the beginning."

"At the beginning of the war, a situation was created that was beneficial to ourselves and detrimental to the enemy."

"As for the enemy, Tang Taizong paid great attention to observing the enemy's situation from beginning to end."

"Although I personally take risks, I can always obtain the enemy's situation through observation and analyze and judge."

"On this basis, we will develop correct combat methods and flexibly attack the enemy."

"Before the decisive battle, a small battle of appropriate scale can be used to find out the strength of Dou's army."

"In the decisive battle, we caught signs of Dou's army's fatigue, and after learning the true situation of Dou's army through a small-scale trial battle, we seized the opportunity to decisively launch an attack."

"Finally defeated Dou Jiande's army of 100,000 people."

"These all demonstrate Tang Taizong's grasp of timing and use of combat methods."

"The opposite is Dou Jiande."

Zhu Zhanji said with high spirits:

"If you don't take Hulao with all your strength, you have already lost."

"Not knowing the intention of Tang Taizong's cavalry to advance rashly, he went out to fight. As a result, he was ambushed and lost his troops and generals, causing the front line to be frustrated."

"Before the decisive battle, I didn't know that the Tang army's grazing of cattle and horses was a lure and could easily drive the entire army to fight."

"During the decisive battle, they did not know how to cover up their true military situation and exposed all their weaknesses in front of the Tang army. They were taken advantage of by the enemy and were passive at every turn."

"Sun Tzu said: If you are careless and easy to attack, you will be captured by others."

"Dou Jiande underestimated the strength of the Tang army for no reason, acted rashly, and finally ended up defeated and killed."

Zhu Di closed the book and put it on the table.

"That's a good analysis. I hope you can understand this on the battlefield."

Zhu Zhanji raised his head sharply.

Zhu Di nodded and sighed:
"That fat dad of yours is really difficult to deal with."

"But no matter how difficult it is, let me handle it."

……

　Li Shimin has a very artistic sense of fighting. He looks reckless, but everything is based on planning and then acting.
