Chapter 540: The Battle of Fate


The darkness faded away, and the moonlight, which had been obscured by the clouds, gradually revealed, illuminating the boundless land.

With this moment approaching, it also means that the prelude to the dawn is coming.

Just when the dawn light turned white, the moonlight that had not yet dispersed swayed on the city, and suddenly showed a different landscape.

It is only said that under the last afterglow of the moonlight, the limbs of the city, which were already stained red with blood, are even more red It makes people look unique At this moment, the city was still filled with gunsmoke, and Li Shimin slowly climbed to the top of the city with a sword, his eyes fearless, looking at the sky.

At this moment, Li Shimin's mood for days was finally released and relaxed at this time.

Because, at this time, Yiyang City was successfully captured under the desperate struggle of the Xuanjia Army.

The city was piled up, and the military rations that were ready to be transported to the front line also fell into the hands of the Tang army in an instant.

As long as there are no accidents, once the news leaks to the front line Changyuan, Wang Shichong will definitely panic.

With the successful implementation of the plan, Li Shimin's tense mood for several days was also relieved at this time.

After a long time, Hou Junji, the general under his command, also came urgently, and told Li Shimin: "King Qin, the last general has successfully completed the task, and he has come to pay the order."

Before the war, Li Shimin ordered Hou Jun to lead an army to block the retreat of the defenders and prevent the defenders from escaping, exposing the situation here.

Therefore, after a night of searching, almost no defenders escaped "Good" Hearing this, Li Shimin immediately turned around and laughed happily.

In the city, Li Shimin then convened the generals in the army to discuss how to dispose of the grain accumulated in the city.

In the meantime, Liu Hongji said slowly: "King Qin, although so much grain has been burned, it is indeed a pity. ” "But King Qin, our army is full of knights, and we are deep in the enemy's territory, how can we safely transport the military grain back to the camp?"

"I'm saying that even if there are no enemy troops along the way, our soldiers will not have enough manpower."

Hearing this, Hou Jun gathered his head and deeply agreed.

Seeing that the two most powerful generals under his command were in favor of burning the military rations, Li Shimin couldn't help but ponder carefully.

After all, this military ration is not a small amount, although the Tang Army is not short of military rations for the time being, but such a large amount of wealth.

Whoever is replaced by it, if it is completely destroyed, there will be a kind of flesh pain The key is that Li Shimin's ambition is not limited to this, after destroying Wang Shichong and integrating Luoyang.

There are also forces such as Zhu Wen, Huangchao, and Cao Cao in the Central Plains and Shandong, and even the Xia Kingdom in Hebei.

If this battle can keep this army ration and transport it back to the camp, then after pacifying Luoyang, the Tang army can continue to fight non-stop.

Li Shimin can also directly lead the army out of the customs and continue to march.

However, the problem that is causing Li Shimin a headache now is how to transport the military grain back from the enemy territory Among them, the shortage of manpower is the most critical problem.

Although Li Shimin is intelligent and has a strong ability to command the army, the shortage of manpower cannot be solved with his mind.

For a while, the house was silent, and everyone was slowly thinking about countermeasures, and they couldn't help but be big Suddenly, just when everyone was at a loss, the guards outside the mansion went straight into the mansion and saluted Li Shimin.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the eldest grandson has a letter, he has already led the army to come, and he is about to join our army."

Immediately afterwards, the guards did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported the words of the sergeant sent by the eldest grandson Wuji to Li Shimin word by word.

After hearing this, Li Shimin was immediately overjoyed, immediately got up, and shouted: "Everyone, it seems that God is helping me now."

"Originally, the king was still thinking about how to transport the military rations and return to the camp."

"But now Mowgli's plan is like sending charcoal in the snow, and the king's problem will be solved in a blink of an eye."

Immediately, Li Shimin looked resolute and said slowly: "That being the case, I ordered the eldest grandson Wuji to lead the army to join our army." ” "Let the rebels who responded from all over the country continue to drag down the defenders around Luoyang."

"This king promised them that as long as I annihilated Wang Shichong in this battle, I would respond to the righteous army and be crowned."

Under Li Shimin's promise, the guards did not stop and hurriedly retreated Then he conveyed Li Shimin's words to the sergeant, and asked him to return quickly and inform the eldest grandson Wuji.

For a time, Li Shimin's plan also had ample opportunities as the eldest grandson Wuji recruited many rebels.

This time, as long as there are enough manpower, he Li Shimin will have the strength to successfully retain the grain and grass.

Once the grain and grass are transported back to the camp, as long as the eastern capital Luoyang can be captured, then the shortened time can also be corrected.

With the time saved, Li Shimin could either lead the army to continue eastward or lead the army north.

It is only said that because Yiyang was attacked, Li Shimin cut off all the retreats.

Therefore, in the days after the incident, neither Luoyang nor Wang Shichong received this news.

It wasn't until a few days later that Yiyang was relatively competitive compared to the Changyuan Defense Line, so Wang Shichong got the news under the scout's inquiry.

However, the stakes are high, but it is not something that can be trusted by the scouts.

After getting the news, although Wang Shichong was nervous in his heart, his appearance was still quiet.

Immediately after summoning dozens of soldiers, they secretly went to Yiyang to investigate to see if what the scouts said was true For Wang Shichong, now his own field battle is not the opponent of the Tang Army, and the only one who can defeat is Gou.

Hold on and drag it until the Tang army withdraws, that is the victory of the Zheng army.

But if Yiyang really falls, if the military rations it is hoarded are really destroyed Then all this favorable situation will be turned upside down.

For this move, it is obviously not what Wang Shichong needs to see.

Changyuan City, on the castle tower When night was approaching, Wang Shichong did not wait for the news from the scouts, but the sergeants sent by Wang Mang came.

Due to the urgency of the situation, the sergeant couldn't help but hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the villain is here to see you on the order of King Qinghe." ” After Wang Shichong became emperor, he also wantonly made the clan a prince, or held real power in the army, or dominated one side.

Among them, Wang Mang was named the king of Qinghe, but he did not leave the capital Luoyang and went to the fief.

But under the persuasion of Wang Shichong, he stayed in Luoyang and shared government affairs for him.

Time gradually passed, and the sergeant also truthfully told Wang Shichong about the military situation that happened around Luoyang.

Hearing this, Wang Shichong was almost unstable on his feet, if he hadn't been serving the battlements, I am afraid he would have fallen long ago.

It's just that before Wang Shi came back to his senses, the scouts who were ordered to investigate returned together.

Subsequently, the scouts told one by one, proving that it was true that Yiyang was seized.

Hearing this, all of a sudden, Wang Shichong couldn't help but be unable to control a mouthful of old blood, and spewed out.

Immediately after, I saw that Wang Shichong's eyeliner gradually turned black, and then slowly fainted weakly.

Suddenly, Wang Jun was shocked that Wang Shichong fainted under a series of blows.

It wasn't until the next day, in Changyuan City, in the mansion, that Wang Shichong woke up leisurely.

Immediately, Wang Shichong recalled the current situation and couldn't help but feel a whirlwind.

A sense of crisis arose, and after a while, it was old tears After a long time, Wang Ren, a disciple of the clan, stood up and said slowly: "Brother Huang, now Li Tang is attacking our army's grain depot. ” "As a result, the surrounding area of my capital has caused wolf smoke to rise, and the situation has become confusing."

"Therefore, the younger brother is willing to lead the army back first and defeat Li Tang's army."

"Brother Huang then stabilized the situation and slowly came to the rescue in Luoyang."

However, with Wang Renze's words, it is also the truth, and it is also the only plan now.

After all, even if he wanted to return to rescue all places, Wang Shichong couldn't just throw his hands and leave.

It is also necessary to stabilize the situation here first, so that the army can return to the rescue.

Otherwise, once Li Tangjun takes the opportunity to occupy this place, it will add fuel to the already bad situation.

After thinking about it, Wang Shichong also decided, and then with Wang Renze as the main general, he led 20,000 Jianghuai troops to battle.

In view of the fact that the raid on Yiyang was carried out by Li Shimin himself, Wang Shichong did not dare to slack off, so when distributing military forces, he sent out the elite Jianghuai strong brigade among the generals.

Subsequently, because Li Yuanba used a double hammer to blast open the city gate with his flesh and blood, the generals of the Zheng army trembled incomparably Therefore, Wang Shichong also let Yu Wenhua and when he was destroyed, his escaped son god Yuwen Chengdu went with the army.

Although Yuwen Chengdu's strength may not be able to stop Li Yuanba.

But now Zheng Jun is up and down, and only Yuwen Chengdu can compete with Li Yuanba.

According to Wang Shichong's thoughts, even if he can't compete, it won't be a problem to drag on for a while Since the plan was confirmed, Wang Ren was no longer dragging his feet, and gathered his troops on the same day, leading Yuwen Chengdu, Shan Xiongxin and others to gallop towards Yiyang At this moment, Yuwen Chengdu thought gloomily on the way: "Li Yuanba, the shame of Siming Mountain, I, Yuwen Chengdu, will definitely ask you back." ” Before the thoughts were over, Yuwen Chengdu actually exuded a thick murderous aura from his whole body, which was daunting Subsequently, Yuwen Chengdu continued to recall: "This time, I, Yuwen Chengdu, took refuge in Wang Shichong, one is to wash away the shame of Siming Mountain. ” "The second is also to find an opportunity to kill Jiangling and break the body of Gao Qi, the enemy who killed his father."

This was also the time when Yuwen Chengdu left and attached himself to Wang Shichong, who he looked down on at the beginning.

After all, during the Battle of Siming Mountain, Yuwen Chengdu monopolized the three generals and was out of the limelight.

But who would have thought that at the most critical moment, Li Yuanba was born out of thin air, shattering the prestige of Yuwen Chengdu's number one general in the world.

This battle, how can Yuwen Chengdu forget it, it can be said that it is always remembered in the bottom of his heart.

It's just that maybe Wang Renze doesn't know that Li Shimin at this moment has already laid out precise deployments, just waiting for Zheng Jun to go.

It can be said that Zheng Jun will lead the army this time, and it will be more auspicious than lucky After Wang Shichong recuperated for a day or two, he regained his former demeanor, and then discussed with the generals to lead the army out of the city and attack the Tang army camp.

As for the reason, it is that Li Shimin is not in the camp now, and he must be the weakest moment in the Tang army.

As long as you seize the opportunity and attack on a large scale, you will not be able to break through the Tang army camp.

As long as the Tang army camp is breached, the situation will be different Wang Shichong can not only lead the main force to take Tongguan directly and attack the territory of Guanzhong.

You can also lead the army to cross the river, occupy the east of the river, and even come to Taiyuan to surround Li Shimin.

At that time, even if Li Shimin has great courage, he will be defeated and sunk in the sand At this time, with Zheng Jun under the personal command of Wang Shichong, they all took their places and slowly left the city.

Facing the Tang Army's battalion array, the battle array was about to break out This battle, the battle of Wang and Li, has entered the most critical moment.

The great chaos of the end of the Sui Dynasty called :
