Under Li Shimin's harsh military law, everyone dared not object to his decision.

So, Li Shimin re-deployed his troops, leaving Li Yuanji and Qu Tutong and other generals to continue to siege Luoyang, and he personally led 4,000 brave soldiers to Hulao Pass.

Wang Shichong stood on the city wall and saw the Tang army's actions, he felt confused, but he did not dare to go out of the city to fight.

Li Shimin led his army across Beimang Mountain, to Heyang, and went to Gongxian to advance to Hulao Pass.

At that time, the guards of Zhengzhou were Wang Xingben, the king of Jing of Zheng. Chen Yue, his subordinate, heard that Li Shimin led his army to come and quietly sent people to the Tang army camp to request surrender.

Li Shimin was overjoyed: "God really helped me."

He immediately asked Chen Yue's people to take the message back, accept Chen Yue's surrender, and asked Chen Yue as an insider to cooperate with the Tang army's actions.

That night, Li Shimin sent the left guard generals Wang Junkuo and Cheng Zhijie to lead troops to attack Hulao Pass. Chen Yue, as an internal supporter, actively cooperated, and the Tang army successfully captured Hulao Pass.

Cheng Zhijie then occupied Zhengzhou and arrested Wang Xingben and other Zheng officials.

After the Hulao Pass was defeated, Li Shimin felt relieved and immediately entered Hulao Pass.

He said to everyone that day: "Now we occupy a dangerous pass, it will not be so easy for the Xia army to rescue Luoyang.

"The Xia army has captured many cities along the way, and the soldiers are proud. We must give them a warning and sluggish their aura."

So, on the second day, Li Shimin only brought five hundred Xuanjia soldiers out of Hulao Pass.

He left soldiers along the way and ordered Li Shiji, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao and others to command them separately, lying ambushed by the roadside. He took Yuchi Jingde and five cavalry to twenty miles east of the city, and used a telescope to observe Dou Jiande's military camp.

After observing for a while, he said to Yuchi Jingde: "I am holding a bow and arrow in front, you follow me with a horse spear, and we fight side by side. Even if Dou Jiande dispatches the entire army, he will be fearless."

After saying that, Li Shimin rode his horse and set off leisurely with six people towards Dou Jiande's military camp.

Three miles from Dou Jiande's military camp, seven people met Dou Jiande's wandering soldiers.

The rovers thought they were scouts who were scouting the enemy situation, and they stared at them with weapons in their hands, but did not take action.

Li Shimin immediately shouted: "I am the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty."

After shouting, he pulled the bow and shot the archery, and shot the general in the lead with one arrow.

The air force was shocked and happy, so shocked that the enemy marshal had quietly approached their base camp and shot their generals.

It was a joy that the enemy marshal actually brought only six people. If they caught Li Shimin, it would be a great achievement.

So, someone in the rogue ordered: "You two, go back to the barracks to report the message immediately, and the others follow me."

When Li Shimin heard this, he seemed very scared and turned his horse and ran away.

"Don't let him run away, catch him."

The raiders chased after them.

Li Shimin controlled the horses and slowly guided them on the way they came.

Soon, Dou Jiande learned the news. Like You Bing, he was also surprised and happy.

Dou Jiande was silent for only a moment, and then ordered Gao Yaxian to lead 6,000 troops to chase and kill Li Shimin.

Gao Yaxian pursued her desperately and soon caught up with Li Shimin.

So many people?

The cavalry who followed Li Shimin's face turned pale, and even Yuchi Jingde changed his expression.

Li Shimin was very excited and finally came.

He said to the cavalry, "You go first, my subordinates of Yuchi Jingde, I."

The cavalry looked at each other: "..."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he tightened the reins, slowed down the horse, and walked slowly behind him.

The cavalry suddenly surpassed Li Shimin and walked in front.

But they dared not walk too far, looking at the road ahead while looking back at the situation.

"Those who catch up with them and catch Li Shimin will have a great reward from the Lord." Gao Yaxian chased after him.

Whenever the pursuers caught up, Li Shimin would shoot arrows to kill the enemy. Every time he shot an arrow, one person would die, and the arrow was shot without any slightest.

In this way, Li Shimin killed several people, and after Yuchi Jingde killed more than a dozen people, the pursuers were shocked by their fierceness and stopped pursuing.

However, not long after stopping, Gao Yaxian ordered them to continue chasing.

Li Shimin intentionally wandered or retreated to lure them into the ambush circle.

"Kill!"

A group of Tang troops suddenly rushed out of the surrounding area.

"Oh no, there is an ambush." ​​Someone in the Xia army shouted, and everyone hurriedly resisted.

Gao Yaxian looked at it for a while and found that there were not many people in the Tang army, so he whispered: "Don't panic, they only have more than one hundred people, kill them."

Hearing this, the Xia soldiers stopped panic and tried hard to kill the enemy.

A trace of success flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, his hands kept moving, fighting and retreating.

The Tang army emerged all the way, and these Tang soldiers were as fierce as tigers and as cruel as wolfs. The Xia soldiers were panicked again.

At this time, Gao Yaxian had no confidence to say that there were few soldiers in Tang. He was afraid that more Tang troops would appear ahead, so he had to order: "Retreat, retreat."

Li Shimin and others threw away several firearms, killed thousands of people, and finally captured the Xia army generals Yin Qiu and Shi Zan, and returned with great victory.

......

"Waste! A bunch of waste!"

Seeing Gao Yaxian and others returning home with great defeat, Dou Jiande was furious: "Li Shimin only had hundreds of people, and he beat you six thousand of them to flee. You are so useless, a bunch of waste."

Gao Yaxian and other generals knelt on the ground, lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to say a word.

After scolding him, Dou Jiande punished them and sent them away.

Feng Deyi said: "I didn't expect Li Shimin to be so fierce. He dared to approach our military camp after only six people.

"But the Lord doesn't have to worry. This time we were careless, and next time he would not be so lucky and would be able to escape unstoppable."

Upon hearing this, Dou Jiande's face calmed down slightly.

Ling Jing frowned: "The Tang army took over Hulao Pass first. Now it is much more difficult for us to go to Luoyang to save Wang Shichong."

"Not afraid, we have so many people, we will definitely be able to defeat the Tang army." Liu Heita was very confident.

Ling Jing glanced at Liu Heita, but felt that the battle was very difficult.

The next day, Li Shimin sent someone to send a letter to Dou Jiande. The messenger who delivered the letter was the person who Dou Jiande sent to the Tang Army camp before.

Dou Jiande opened the letter and read it.

"... Wang Shichong is capricious. Recently, he has been reconciled with you. He just wants to use your troops to get out of trouble. Once he gets out of trouble, he will turn against others. Then you travel thousands of miles and spend a lot of money. Wouldn't it be wasted?

"Before, I was treated to the King of Huai'an and Princess Tong'an, and I was treated to you with great kindness and sent back to my court. I am grateful in my heart.

"There is a peaceful covenant between Tang and Xia. I do not want to break the covenant, and I hope you will abide by it.

"Zhao, Wei, has always been owned by our Tang Dynasty. I hope you will give up plunder and withdraw your troops as soon as possible.

"Yesterday I met your outpost, and they were vulnerable. The reason why I fought with them to sluggish their spirits is that I hope you can obey good advice and never let yourself regret it..."

"Bang!"

Dou Jiande slapped the letter on the desk with one palm: "The prince is really arrogant, I must give you a little bit of pain."

"Liu Heita listened to the order and immediately ordered his troops and followed me to attack Hulao Pass."
