Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 311
After Yang Guang rebuilt Luoyang City, the city became one of the most powerful cities in the world. Nearly [-] Tang troops surrounded Luoyang.

More than ten days later, many generals of the Tang army saw that Luoyang City was hard to conquer.Morale is gradually declining, and I have the intention of retreating. Anyway, this time the Eastern Expedition to Luoyang was a complete victory, and it will not be a serious problem to return to Chang'an to recuperate and go out again.

However, Li Shimin insisted on his own opinion this time, saying that Luoyang would never return to the army until it was broken.

Gao Cheng knew that whether it was the original history or the timeline of this world, Li Shimin had won the Luoyang battle, and this time with his help, the chance of winning was [-]%.It is absolutely impossible to miss, so I also support Li Shimin's decision.

On this day, the general guarding Hulao Pass under Wang Shichong sent people to surrender, and Hulao Pass changed hands.Luoyang was completely surrounded in four directions from east to west, north to south.

Li Shimin was overjoyed, and many generals of the Tang army also cheered up. If Hulao Pass is as important to Luoyang as Tongguan is to Chang'an, the Tang army's capture of Hulao Pass blocked Xia Wang Dou Jiande's southward reinforcements.Separating the soldiers and horses of Zheng Xia's two sides has the basis for defeating each.

In the big tent, Li Shimin and Tang Jun's many generals and experts lined up on both sides. Gao Chengduan sat at the first place on the left side of the commander's seat, watching the messengers in the middle of the tent reporting the military situation.

"...Dou Jiande led an army of 30 to the south, and has already defeated Guanzhou, Xingyang, and Yangdi! Now he is camping in Chenggao, and General Zuowei Wang ordered his subordinates to come forward and report to King Qin for a decision!" The messenger respectfully reported to the general Wang Junkuo's request.

Many generals in the camp heard that Dou Jiande's 30 troops were going south, and their faces were a little ugly. After all, the Tang army only had 30 soldiers, and they still needed to besiege Luoyang City. If the [-] troops came to Luoyang, the Tang army would be in danger.

Li Shimin's expression didn't change at all, and he said with a smile: "When Cao Cao's 20 troops went south to Chibi, he dared to claim 83 troops. It was just a bluff. The people in Hebei are exhausted, and everyone knows it. Dou Jiande's men can have 15 troops!"

Qu Tutong and Xiao Yu looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing bitterly. The 15 army was twice as large as the Tang army. Qu Tutong said with worry on his face, "King Qin, our army has been attacking Luoyang for a long time, and our soldiers are exhausted. , Luoyang is difficult to break through quickly, and Dou Jiande has broken three cities in a row, and his morale is so high that he is invincible, how about our army retreat to Xin'an and wait for the opportunity?"

Li Shimin explained: "Wang Shichong only has one lonely city left. He led a large army into battle a few days ago, and was defeated by our army. With his 10,000+ army in hand, it is difficult for him to advance an inch, as long as Dou Jiande is dealt with first, Luoyang City will collapse without a fight!"

Listening to these people's arguments and persuasion, Gao Cheng's mind wandered, and he secretly operated the exercises to continuously increase the strength of his true qi. It was difficult to break through the realm temporarily, but the true qi could continue to accumulate.In particular, the seven qi charts in the formula of longevity, after the completion of the golden qi chart, the water qi chart has also made considerable progress.

"The seven diagrams of the formula of longevity, the five elements and yin and yang go hand in hand, metal generates water, water generates wood... the five elements circulate, it is not difficult to practice, but the qi of yin and yang is a bit advanced! It is difficult to comprehend without special opportunities. Kou Zhonghe Xu Ziling and Xu Ziling didn't know what kind of luck they had, they practiced the two most profound qi diagrams without knowing it!" Gao Cheng sighed in his heart about the luck of the two destiny protagonists.

When Gao Cheng was absent-minded, he suddenly heard the sound of palms being slapped on the wooden table. He looked over and saw Li Shimin's expression was firm, and he said sharply: "This king has made a decision. Don't persuade me any more. Qin Qiong, Cheng Yao Jin and Yu Chigong listen to the order, the three of you choose four thousand elite riders and follow me to the Tiger Prison!"

Then Li Shimin's eyes fell on Gao Cheng, his voice softened, and he said, "Would you like to go to Hulao with me, third brother, and meet King Xia for a while?"

Gao Cheng laughed and agreed immediately.What he was waiting for was the battle at Hulao Pass. When he captured Dou Jiande, he might not have 10,000+ destiny points in his account. Such a good opportunity could not be missed.

At noon, 500 iron cavalry gathered outside the camp, of which [-] were selected by Li Shimin to form the black armor elite cavalry composed of elite Tang soldiers.

This Xuanjia cavalry is Li Shimin's support against Dou Jiande's tens of thousands of troops.

"set off!"

Li Shimin looked at his elite subordinates, as well as Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and other generals, and his heart suddenly surged with pride. In this battle, with his third brother Li Xuanba leading the battle, even if he lost to Dou Jiande, he could easily get away without threatening his life.Now that he has such a guarantee, of course he will fight hard.

Half a day later, Hulao Pass.

When Gao Cheng and Li Shimin galloped to this majestic pass, Wang Junkuo immediately stepped forward to greet them. Everyone came to the pass wall and looked into the distance. As the saying goes, if there are more than 10,000 people, there is no limit. Dou Jiande's [-]+ army stationed troops The Hulao was closed, and the camps and soldiers and horses could not be seen at a glance.The soldiers guarding the pass were a little panicked.

"Third brother, Shubao, Jingde, and Yaojin, come out with me and see how King Xia's camp is being built!"

Seeing that the morale of the soldiers was not high, Li Shimin's heart moved, and he immediately suggested to everyone to go out to observe the enemy's camp, and he did not bring any army, only five people.In his tone, he didn't pay attention to Dou Jiande's tens of thousands of troops.

After several consecutive large-scale battles, Li Shimin's military art has been refined to perfection, and he is both wise and brave. An ordinary general would definitely not take just a few people to observe the enemy's camp.

Gao Cheng laughed and said, "Okay! Since the second brother has this intention, I will go with you!"

He understood Li Shimin's meaning, a few people went out to explore the camp, if the enemy didn't come out, it would be an act of fear of war in the eyes of the soldiers of the Tang army, and his own side could boost morale.No matter how the opponent reacts, Tang Jun can defeat the enemy's edge and restore morale.

Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and the others were relieved when they heard that Gao Cheng was also preparing to move out. Although they were all first-class masters in the world, they still had no idea when facing an army of tens of thousands. They died in battle. It doesn't matter, the fear is that Li Shimin will be killed by Xia Jun.

When the Tang Jun coach is killed, the war will be over.But now that Li Xuanba, who is known as the number one master of the Li Clan and the fourth great master in the world, came to protect them, even if there were thousands of troops among them, they would have the confidence to go back and forth.

That day Gao Cheng killed several masters of the Demon Sect outside the Hall of Liangyi, and after the evil king returned without success, his reputation in the Jianghu became more and more loud, and some people even said that his strength was similar to that of the Sanren Ning Daoqi .After the news came out, not many people refuted it.

The reputation of the eight masters of the Demon Sect, in the eyes of the second-rate and third-rate people in the world, each of them is a peerless great devil.Among them, although Tianjun Xiying lost to Tiandao Song Que, at least he was able to fight the opponent with dozens of moves. There are also Demon Commander Zhao Deyan and Ziwu Sword Zuo Youxian. A person was beaten to death or fled.
