Wang Junkuo's 10,000 cavalry were ambushed by the Sui army in the jungle fifteen miles northwest of Yique Pass. They were caught off guard and defeated, and more than 6,000 of them were annihilated. Wang Junkuo led the remaining troops to continue to evacuate south, and were attacked again along the way.

After a chase, he was helpless and urgently sent someone to ask Li Daozong of Yique Pass for help.

Although Li Daozong of Yique Pass could not see the battlefield, his scouts urgently sent this information back.

A general with a few arrows hanging on his head, covered in blood, begged Li Daozong plaintively: "Your Highness, General Wang is besieged by tens of thousands of Sui troops. Now he has suffered heavy casualties and is in danger. I beg your Highness to rescue him!"

"Deng Bao, what's going on?" Li Daozong asked urgently. He recognized this person, he was Wang Junkuo's deputy general.

"General Wang, on the order of King Jin, led 10,000 elite cavalry to help His Highness... Who would have thought that he would be ambushed by Luo Shixin..." Deng Bao quickly explained the matter.

After hearing this, Li Daozong looked at Deng Bao's pleading eyes, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Approximately how many people are there in the Sui army?"

"I can't tell how many people there are on the other side, but judging from the troops surrounding them on all sides, I can say there are at least 30,000 to 40,000 people."

"Thirty thousand people?" If it is 30,000 people, it means that Luo Shixin has dispatched one-fifth of his troops, and Yingyang City and Pengbo City where Luo Shixin is located are also top priorities. In this way, Luo Shixin is already available

The army has reached its limit.

"Just a little more." Deng Bao said anxiously: "I am humble and stupid in my humble position, but I also know where His Highness is worried. But I asked the general to come and take care of my general."

Li Daozong stared at the majestic undulating mountains and rivers in the distance. The Yishui in the distance was like a jade belt flowing away from here. He took a deep breath and said: "In that case, I will go and meet this Luo Shixin for a while.

.”

Li Daozong confessed and led 20,000 soldiers to the battlefield. After marching five miles, he met the disheveled Wang Junkuo.

"Your Highness, get out of here quickly. This is a trap. Luo Shixin never showed up... This is not his style."

Wang Junkuo killed foreigners from beginning to end, and even the Sui army didn't see many. When he saw Li Daozong in the crowd, he understood that Luo Shixin probably had a trap targeting Li Daozong or Yiqueguan, and said anxiously:

"I'll get out of here quickly."

Li Daozong's face was clear and he did not dare to neglect, and quickly turned the horse's head.

Just when the Tang Army's front team changed to the rear team, and the rear team changed to the front team, there was only a sound of clappers, and suddenly thousands of arrows were fired in the jungle, like a storm, shooting at the Tang Army who was turning around. The sudden attack caused a chaos in the Tang Army.

, a hundred steps away from them, a large group of black shadows suddenly appeared, as many as ten thousand people. They held hard crossbows and fired life-threatening crossbow arrows in three stages.

The shrill screams resounded throughout the world. With the first round of arrows, more than a thousand people in the Tang army fell, and the ground was dyed red with blood.

Soon, another thousand arrows were fired in the second round. The Tang army was so frightened that they fled for their lives.

Arrows like a rain of arrows continued and shot hard at the densely packed Tang army. Suddenly, screams broke out, and large areas of the Tang army were shot down by arrows. It was like a strong wind sweeping past, and there was no more standing soldier within a hundred steps.

Wang Junkuo was shot in the right shoulder by an arrow and fell from his horse. However, the injury to his right shoulder did not affect the speed of his legs. He roared like thunder to cover Li Daozong, and hundreds of Tang troops escorted the two men forward to kill him.

At this moment, the ground began to shake underfoot, and the thunderous sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and a soldier shouted: "The Sui army's cavalry is coming!"

Li Daozong looked back and saw overwhelming cavalry appearing behind them. The horses were galloping, swords and spears were like a forest, like a black tide, and the murderous intent was like a shock wave on the ground, sweeping towards the Tang army.

The soldiers of the Tang Army were stunned, and Li Daozong was also stunned. Suddenly, he reacted and shouted loudly: "Line up and prepare to fight!"

The fierce murderous intent eclipsed the sky and the earth. There was an ambush from the crossbow army in front, and the cavalry came from behind to kill everything. The Jingxiang Tang army, which had never seen such powerful cavalry, was intimidated by the power of the fine cavalry, and chaos broke out in Kai Ma.

.

Li Daozong shouted: "Line up! Line up!"

But no one listened to his orders. A sense of fear enveloped every soldier at this time. They abandoned their helmets and armor and fled desperately along the surroundings. For the cavalry, the distance of hundreds of steps was only a matter of seconds. There were tens of thousands of cavalry.

They wielded their swords to kill with extraordinary ferocity. Some soldiers who were escaping slowly were chopped down by the cavalry and screamed in agony. The cavalry swallowed up the defeated troops piece by piece like wind and clouds.

A few hundred steps away in the south, the Sui army's general Luo Shixin ordered: "Attack the cavalry on the left and right! Separate the two armies."

"Here!" the flag officer used the flag to signal an attack.

On the left and right, a cavalry force of 5,000 men came from the diagonal thrust. Like a dagger, it slammed into the Tang army and accurately cut the Tang army into three.

There was a roar, and under Luo Shixin's gaze, the two cavalrymen created a gap in the Niang army, and the gap tended to widen. By the time the Tang army reacted and prepared to counterattack, the two cavalrymen had already fought out from the other direction.

.

The two of them each used flying shuttles, crisscrossing back and forth among the Tang army, cutting the Tang army's "one" formation into chaos, only to kill the enemy soldiers all around with corpses, flesh and blood flying everywhere, and the air filled with red mist.

When the defenders of Yique Pass saw the movement on the city, they did not dare not to rescue them, but this tactic of adding fuel was exactly what Luo Shixin wanted. As soon as the enemy closed the city, another 10,000 slave soldiers were sent to fight.

As time went by, the Tang army's subordinates were gradually killed and dispersed, and most of them knelt down and surrendered.

Seeing that the battlefield was under control, Luo Shixin gave a loud shout and led five hundred personal guards into the crowd of people who were stubbornly resisting. Then he shook out the spear flowers, and the spears flew like lightning. In an instant, four or five people were stabbed by him.

When they fell to the ground, the Tang soldiers were so frightened that they shouted, turned around and ran away.

Luo Shixin was like a tiger in a pack of wolves, becoming more and more courageous as he fought. Under his big iron gun, there were many corpses. More than forty people had died under his gun.

Wang Junkuo let out a thunderous roar: "Luo Shixin, take your life!"

The big knife in his hand suddenly struck Luo Shixin head-on. Luo Shixin swung the big gun in his hand and swung the weapon away from him.

There was a loud sound of "Dang!" as the broadsword struck Luo Shixin's gun barrel, and the broadsword flew along the barrel of the gun.

Although Wang Junkuo was brave, he had an arrow wound on his shoulder, and the violent impact caused his wound to burst.

The severe pain caused him to drop his weapon, and his body fell to the ground, curled up in pain.

Luo Shixin's soldiers rushed forward and slashed with their swords. Luo Shixin shouted: "Don't hurt his life!"

The soldiers held him down and tied him up tightly. The severe pain caused Wang Junkuo to faint.

"The enemy general should stop being so arrogant and take a bite out of me!"

Li Daozong swung his horse spear and stabbed Luo Shixin in the chest. The blade came with a fierce force, and Luo Shixin yelled: "Well done!"

He dodged his body to the side to avoid the blow, and swiped his spear. The roar was like a thunderbolt, and the barrel of the spear was like thunder. Li Daozong was swept off his horse with one stroke, and he was captured alive.

He charged towards Yique Pass, pointed his iron spear at the bright point, and shouted sternly at the hundreds of enemy troops at the top of the city: "I am Luo Shixin of the Great Sui Dynasty. If you don't surrender, how long will it take?"

The Tang army at the head of the city was stunned by the killings, and saw the whole army defeated. Hundreds of soldiers went down to the city to surrender, "We are willing to surrender to the Sui Dynasty!"

Yique Pass, this great pass in the Central Plains fell into the hands of the Sui army...

…

At the same time Luo Shixin launched the war.

Wang Shichong also received accurate information. Li Shimin was in the Mangshan camp. The Tang army's barriers had not yet been built. There were only 20,000 troops in the camp. He felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He personally led 50,000 troops out to attack the Tang army.

The battalion launched a fierce attack.

The beacon fire at Mang Mountain was lit, and he asked for help from the Tang army leader who was dozens of miles away. At the same time, Li Shimin arranged 5,000 crossbowmen in the camp, and lined up 10,000 red armor troops at the foot of Beimang Mountain. He also sent Zhai Changsun

He led five thousand cavalry to attack Wang Shichong's rear army.

The battle lasted for more than an hour. The Zheng army frantically attacked the Tang camp. They encountered stubborn resistance from the crossbow army and constant attacks from the Tang army cavalry on both sides. They only killed corpses everywhere. However, Wang Shichong was determined, no matter how heavy the casualties were.

He captured the Tang army's camp just because he had seen Li Shimin in the camp.

At the cost of thousands of casualties, Zheng Jun finally opened a gap and rushed into the Tang camp. At this moment, 10,000 cavalry led by Chai Shao and Hou Junji suddenly arrived.

He stabbed fiercely with his spear and started a fierce bloody battle with Wang Shichong's most elite Jianghuai army outside the camp.

This time, the Zheng army was personally led by Wang Shichong, and there was no chaos like the previous three times. They advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, fought bravely, and attacked sharply. They took the lead in defeating Chai Shao's 5,000 cavalry, forcing Zhai Changsun to give up attacking the rear army and led 5,000 cavalry.

Came to take over Chai Shao's defeated army.

The casualties on both sides continued to increase, but due to the disparity in strength, Li Shimin's army gradually could not withstand it, and the troops were dispersed one after another. Li Shimin was accompanied only by General Qiu Xinggong and dozens of cavalry.

More than a hundred Zheng Army cavalry were chasing after them. The more the battle, the fewer Li Shimin's soldiers were. Only General Qiu Xinggong was left. Li Shimin's horse was also hit by an arrow and fell to death. Qiu Xinggong dismounted and shot dozens of people. The arrows were all fired, and the pursuers

He retreated in panic.

Qiu Xinggong gave up his horse to Li Shimin, and he fought on foot and killed more than a dozen people. At the most critical moment, an exciting horn sound came from the distance. At this time, the main force of the Tang army had returned, and the large number of Tang soldiers

The overwhelming force joined the battlefield with great momentum. Wang Shichong saw that the Zheng army could not win for a while, so he had to order the withdrawal of the army bitterly.

The Tang army pursued them all the way to the city of Luoyang, killing corpses everywhere. Both the enemy and us suffered heavy casualties in this battle. The Tang army suffered heavy casualties, with more than 20,000 casualties and 5,000 garrison soldiers being killed. Not a single one of the 5,000 soldiers guarding the camp was left. Zheng Jun, who followed Wang Shichong back to the city,

There were only more than 20,000 people left, and most of the main force was lost in this battle.
