Li Zhiyun led his army to Taiyuan, and the situation instantly got out of control. Previously, Liu Wuzhou could rely on his own strength to compete with Li Shimin, but when Li Zhiyun's troops joined the war, the Tang army's advantage suddenly increased.
After Liu Wuzhou learned about the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang Army and the death of Song Jingang, he immediately understood that the situation was very unfavorable to him. He could either withdraw from Mayi or fight with the Tang Army to decide the outcome.
"Your Majesty, the Turks are gone!"
Liu Wuzhou's army was in the camp, and the general went to report to Liu Wuzhou.
"Oh, this is how these thieves are. Once the situation is unfavorable, they will abandon us, so there is no need to make a fuss." Liu Wuzhou gritted his teeth so hard that he wished he could eat the Turks.
Xun Xiang said worriedly: "Your Majesty, Li Zhiyun sent someone to send news that King Yan Song had died in Meiliangchuan, Huang Ziying was killed, and Yuchi Gong surrendered. He asked us to give up resistance immediately."
"fart!"
boom!
Liu Wu kicked the weapon rack over on Monday and glared angrily, "Who is he? If he says he will surrender, he will surrender. I will kill him! And this bastard Yuchi Gong!"
He treated Yuchi Gong very well. He thought that Yuchigong was a man who would repay his kindness and be able to entrust him with important tasks. Unexpectedly, he actually surrendered to Li Tang.
This is betrayal!
“This traitor deserves to die.”
Liu Wuzhou's eyes were cold and stern, and he shouted: "Go tell Li Shimin and Li Zhiyun that I want to fight with them!"
Hearing this, Xun Xiang gritted his teeth and showed hesitation on his face.
"What's wrong? Why don't you go?" Seeing that Xun Xiang remained motionless, Liu Wuzhou immediately asked.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say at the end. Please listen carefully."
"Are you asking me to withdraw my troops?" Liu Wuzhou guessed.
Xun Xiang nodded and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Li Shimin has an army of 100,000, and Li Zhiyun supports 30,000 soldiers and horses. Now that the Turks have fled, with the soldiers and horses in our hands, even if it is a battle, we can make the last move.
If we fight, we may not be able to defeat the Tang army. If we retreat to Mayi, we may be able to hold on to the city and plan for the future."
Liu Wuzhou stared at him for a long time, then suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the lapel of Xun Xiang's clothes, and stared at Xun Xiang.
"You idiot, since you know that the Tang Army has 130,000 troops this time, even if we retreat to Mayi, do you think the Tang Army will let us go? Don't you know what it means to eradicate the weeds? Do you think Li Shimin is a good person?"
Pushed away violently, Xun Xiang fell to the ground.
Liu Wuzhou was condescending and said coldly: "If we want to survive, we can only fight with the Tang army, otherwise we will die!"
"Did you hear that clearly?" Liu Wuzhou shouted.
Cold sweat ran down the side of Xunxiang's face, and the little chicken nodded while pecking at the rice.
"You will eventually understand."
After receiving Liu Wuzhou's request for a battle, Li Shimin immediately sent a message to Li Zhiyun to join him, and the armies of both sides met in Yuci.
Tang army camp.
"Zhiyun!"
When the two brothers met, there was no nonsense. Li Shimin came up and gave him a bear hug.
"My good brother." Li Shimin pursed his lips, bumped his head, and patted Li Zhiyun hard on the shoulder.
"Good fight, good fight!"
Li Zhiyun grinned and responded with a brotherly slap on the shoulder.
"Second brother, it was you who played well, but my younger brother only did a minor job."
Li Shimin let go of him, put his hands on his shoulders, and said seriously: "I'm not just talking about the war in Hedong. Without your persistence in Tongguan, Wang Shichong would have succeeded long ago. In the battle in Hedong, if you hadn't planned the battle, Pujin Pass would have been lost.
, Song Jingang and Ao She set up a raid on Guanzhong, we are the sinners of the Tang Dynasty!"
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Li Yuanji played like a ball, while Li Zhiyun played flawlessly.
Li Shimin often thinks about how the gap between brothers is bigger than the gap between a man and a dog even though they are all from the same father!
He really couldn't figure it out and couldn't figure it out.
During the confrontation in Taiyuan, he sent someone to tell Li Yuanji and asked him to tentatively harass Liu Wuzhou from the rear to cooperate with him on the frontal battlefield.
But Li Yuanji's fighting was worse than retreating and defending the city.
Li Zhiyun exchanged commercial compliments, "Second brother, if you hadn't been able to contain Liu Wu and Zhou's troops in Taiyuan and resolve the siege of Jinyang, my younger brother wouldn't have had a chance to defeat Song Jingang."
"Okay, let's go."
"Walk."
Everyone entered the account and discussed the war.
"Currently Liu Wuzhou has an army of 70,000, which is mainly stationed at Xiamuyi, 20 miles away from Jinyang. The main elite is a cavalry army composed of Turks and his soldiers, about 20,000. Among the generals who are good at fighting, only
There is a Xun Xiang. At present, our army has reached 130,000 troops. As long as we can guard against Liu Wuzhou's cavalry, we will win." Fang Xuanling analyzed it for everyone.
Du Ruhui said: "How is the equipment of the cavalry army mentioned by Fang Canjun?"
"According to the scouts' reconnaissance, the armor is quite complete and everyone is carrying a bow."
Du Ruhui mused: "Looking at it from this point of view, Liu Wuzhou will probably use this cavalry army to raid our army."
"That's right." Li Shimin said: "Before, our army fought against Liu Wuzhou's troops. This cavalry army was mostly used for raids and rarely appeared on the frontal battlefield."
Li Zhiyun said: "If this is the case, why don't we deliberately sell a flaw to Liu Wuzhou and invite you to bury him in the urn?"
Changsun Wuji asked: "Please elaborate, King Chu."
Li Zhiyun nodded and said: "In fact, it is not difficult. The purpose of the cavalry is nothing more than to attack the flanks, cover the army's charge, and disrupt the army's formation. Now that we know the existence of this cavalry, we only need to expose the flaws in the flanks during the battle.
, just lead them to attack."
"What if Liu Wuzhou is not fooled?" Changsun Wuji asked.
Li Zhiyun said: "It would be better if he did not fall for the trick. Our cavalry happened to attack his flank. We have an army of 130,000, and if we fight well on the frontal battlefield, there is no chance that we will lose. The weak side now is Liu Wuzhou, not us."
Everyone pondered.
At this time, veteran general Qu Tutong said: "Why don't we strike first, use cavalry to defeat cavalry, and use the army to cover the cavalry, which will involve Liu Wuzhou's main force and force Liu Wuzhou to send cavalry to intercept our cavalry."
After the words fell, Li Shimin thought deeply for a while and said: "Anything is fine, let's use Zhiyun's strategy first. If Liu Wuzhou is not fooled, then we will follow what General Qutu said. Zhiyun, what do you mean?"
"My little brother has no objection."
"Okay." Li Shimin nodded, and then he straightened his face and said solemnly: "Everyone, the outcome of this battle will be determined. I hope that the generals will prepare carefully and not be careless. If anyone does not act in accordance with military orders, don't blame me for the ruthlessness of military law.
"
"Yes!" The generals clasped their fists.
Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin began to assign tasks.
The cavalry was led by Hou Junji, Qu Tutong, Qin Qiong, and Xie Shufang, and they were always ready to attack.
The infantry army was commanded by the remaining six generals under Li Shimin and the generals on Li Zhiyun's side.
130,000 soldiers and horses were integrated, and each general manager had more than 10,000 soldiers under his command.
