Chapter 849 Under Chang'an City (first update)
When the news came, most of the generals of the Zhao army did not think that Li Tang was capable of annihilating Wang Junkuo's 20 troops. These were the main cavalry regiments. It is absolutely impossible to be annihilated.

Li Tang wiped out 10 troops with 20 troops, which is a joke.

Xue Wanche said disdainfully: "Your Majesty, Li Shimin's strategy is very simple. Li Tang is just a victory for Lu Bu. This is what they say. The victory of Lu Bu is only used to strengthen the morale of the people, and the results of the battle are exaggerated casually." Ten times the number is also a common thing, and even bragging about defeats as victories, this is always the case.”

"That's right. Our army is all cavalry. Even if we fail, we can retreat temporarily. I have never heard of the reason why the cavalry is wiped out. Even if Li Tang has a million troops, he can't do it. What's more, Li Shimin's strength now?" Himekawa also analyzed the words.

Hearing what Xue Wanche and Ji Chuan said, the generals present were worried and confused, and they immediately felt relieved.

"This is Li Shimin's heart attack strategy. He deliberately cut off our connection with the West Route Army, and then wiped out the stronghold of our Rumor Department. After our army entered Guanzhong, it lost its eyes and ears and was in an isolated state. Let us not fight. Self-disruption." Xu Shiji concluded.

Xu Shiji, Zhao Jun's number one general, said so, and all the generals were convinced.

All the generals think so, but they think so, but it doesn't mean that the soldiers are also like this. If the news spreads to the army, whether the morale of the soldiers will be shaken, this is unknown.

At this moment, a general rushed into the big tent and said: "Your Majesty, Chang'an will go out of the city to the Tang army and fight against our army!"

"I don't know how to live or die!" All the generals were furious.Li Shimin's main force is rushing to Fufeng, and the Chang'an garrison is just an ordinary garrison, and they dare to provoke Zhao Jun.But everyone also thought further, whether this is the meaning of Tang Jun's test, to see if the main force of Zhao Jun's army has lost its morale.

Sure enough, a general suggested at this time: "Your Majesty, we don't know the situation of the West Route Army right now. Are we cautious? Back off for now."

"What's there to say about this, it must be Tang Jun who came to test our truth."

"Li Tang obviously made up his mind to defeat each of them. Everyone, we can't retreat. Instead, we have to deal with Li Tang here."

"Morale can be boosted, but not discouraged. Don't you hear the truth of boosting your strength? Even without the West Route Army, we can take Chang'an in one battle."

All the generals made generous speeches.

Li Chongjiu was very pleased to see that the army was so motivated and asked: "Which general is willing to fight against the Tang army?"

"Someone wants to go!"

"Someone is willing to go!" More than 20 generals under the account stood up together.

Li Chongjiu nodded and said immediately: "Okay, let's send Xue Wanjun and Wu Gunai to fight!"

"promise!"

The second general got Li Chongjiu's point general, and they were all elated at the moment.After the two clasped their fists together, they left the tent together.The Ugunai tribe is the elite Mohe heavy cavalry of the Zhao army, and it is the most effective unit.Li Chongjiu sent Wu Gunai to fight, which meant that he was only allowed to win and not allowed to lose.

Not long after, outside the big tent, the sound of soldiers and horses running back and forth on the ground, and the sound of armor clanging when the soldiers ran, were clearly heard inside the big tent.And Li Chongjiu couldn't sit still, and all the generals were determined to see Li Chongjiu's appearance of walking like a car, and sat together waiting for the news.

After an hour passed, some generals couldn't help but poke their heads out from time to time, looking in the direction of the gate.Some generals inevitably felt uneasy at this time.But Xu Shiji, Xue Wanche and other generals closed their eyes and rested their minds, not moving lightly.

Many people have never felt that time has passed so long.

During this long wait, a long horse neigh came.Many generals opened their eyes and looked in the direction of the gate, but they saw a blood-soaked cavalry galloping towards them.

The man rushed to the tent, and someone led the horse for him.The other party knelt down in front of the big tent with a plop, and before he could speak, Wang Mahan and other generals stepped forward and asked, "How is it, how is the battle going?"

"Report to the general, report to His Majesty, great victory! Great victory!"

"Hehe!" Wang Mahan let out a long breath.

The original silence in the tent was suddenly broken, and the tense bodies of all the generals were relieved a little.The man said loudly: "General Wu Gunai asked me to report back. Our army of 3000 troops encountered [-] troops from the Tang army and fought fiercely for an hour under the city of Chang'an. Our army defeated the Tang army and beheaded more than [-] people. The Tang army killed and injured more than [-] people." .”

"General Wu Gunai took advantage of the victory to fight at the north gate of Chang'an. The gates of Chang'an city were closed tightly, and no soldier dared to go out."

All the generals laughed loudly, Wang Mahan said: "This battle is enough to scare the courage of the Chang'an Tang Army."

Decapitating more than [-] ranks, there is no doubt that this is not a small victory, and all the generals are also overjoyed.

"Your Majesty, taking advantage of this great victory, when the Tang army in Chang'an is frightened, should our army retreat to Tongzhou first, join forces with Shan Xiongxin's [-] soldiers and horses, and stick to Tongzhou first, waiting for news from the West Route Army? What about it?" Yu Shinan suggested to Li Chongjiu.

This is also possible.Several prudent generals couldn't help but agree with Yu Shinan's suggestion.

Gather the soldiers and horses to one place, shrink the long supply line of the food road, concentrate the troops, and twist them into fists.

"No, I won't retreat." Li Chongjiu shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, there are only more than 12 soldiers and horses in the camp at the moment. If Li Shimin leads an army to attack Tongzhou and cut off our army's food roads, our army will be in trouble!" Yu Shinan said with a worried face.

Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "There are [-] Shan Xiongxin troops stationed in Tongzhou. It is not so easy to attack. Similarly, if I retreat to Tongzhou, it is tantamount to showing my timidity to Li Shimin. Annihilation, I chose to lead the army to station in the city of Chang'an, so that his rumors will be self-defeating."

"Your Majesty, this is too risky. If the West Route Army..."

General Li Chongjiu glared and shouted: "I never believe that the West Route Army will be wiped out by Li Shimin. Wang Junkuo, Yinghefu, Ertuo, and Tuli are all generals I have single-handedly selected. I believe in them."

Hearing what Li Chongjiu said, all the generals in Zhao Jun took orders.

"I not only want to defend, but also to attack. As soon as the Tang army's spirit was frustrated, Xue Wanche obeyed the order and ordered your troops to capture Jingyang within three days!"

"The last will obey!"

Before inquiring, Jingyang was heavily guarded by the Tang army, so it was not easy to attack.However, after taking Jingyang, it can not only threaten Chang'an from the north, but also cover the supply of the Tongzhou grain road, which is very important for the entire Chang'an strategy.Li Shimin is also an experienced soldier, so he set up defense in Jingyang early.

Xue Wanche's [-] troops marched north, and Li Chongjiu also led the local army to move the camp for [-] miles, and set up the camp in Sanyuan County, which is less than [-] miles away from Jingyang.
Immediately, countless soldiers and horses rolled towards the north of Chang'an.
PS: I attended a friend's wedding banquet yesterday. It was too late and there was no update. I will make up for it today, and there will be another update in the evening.In addition, last Sunday's update was a large chapter of almost [-] words, so let's count it as two updates.Thank you for your support!
