- In order to win this battle, Li Shimin mobilized all his strength.
In this battle, Xue Ju must be crippled. Even if his main force cannot be surrounded and annihilated, he must be unable to go eastward in the short term. Otherwise, when Li Tang and the Hebei army have a decisive battle, Xue Ju will intervene and it will be a fatal blow.
Therefore, in this decisive battle, Liu Hongji's Jing Yue Army, Dou Gui's Swagger Army, and Li Gaoqian's Yuan You Army, as the main forces, were divided into three arrow troops by Li Shimin. military determination.
In the early morning of June 16, the Tang army had a feast, and Li Shimin ordered the city gates to be opened to attack the Qin army in the west.
The three Tang armies headed straight towards the Western Qin army¡¯s camp from the south, north and west directions like three swimming dragons.
The main camp of the Western Qin Army was less than twenty miles away from the Tang Army. The forward cavalry of the Tang Army quickly arrived. Everyone stepped into the camp. At this time, the camp was empty. Forage and tents were discarded everywhere. At first glance, they were retreating in a hurry.
Soon the news reached Li Shimin¡¯s Chinese army.
Li Shimin was also shocked when he heard the news that the Western Qin Army had completely withdrawn. He did not expect that Xue Ju retreated so quickly, which frustrated his plan to engage in a decisive battle with the front troops of the Western Qin Army inside and outside the Western Qin Army's camp.
But Li Shimin hardly hesitated and made up his mind to pursue immediately.
The Western Qin army retreated so hastily, which just shows that they really retreated due to lack of food and lost all their energy. Once this opportunity is missed, it is still unclear when Xue Ju returns to Zheqian City to repair his troops and horses, or even make a comeback.
It is a full ninety miles from Gaojing City to Jingzhou. It is impossible for Xue Ju's entire army to move so fast. It is entirely possible for them to catch up.
So Li Shimin ordered the whole army to pursue them.
Tens of thousands of Tang troops, like fierce tigers coming out of the mountains, chased and killed the Western Qin troops in the direction they left. 牺如 tianlaixsw.com 牺如
Although the Western Qin Army had a large number of cavalry, it seemed that it did not retreat quickly.
By noon, Li Gaoqian, the vanguard of the Chinese army, led his troops to catch up with the rear of the Western Qin army in the Nangou area. And from Gaocheng City to Nangou, it is only more than twenty miles. ãá reduce *.com* ãá
A fierce battle soon broke out between the two sides.
It was Xue Ju¡¯s son-in-law Zhong Juchou who led the Western Qin army to cut off the rear. Zhong Juchou is a Qiang and Hu man, and his army is mostly composed of Qiang and Hu people who live in Longyou. They are rough and savage in character and extremely powerful in combat.
He was overtaken by the Tang army in Nangou.
Originally, Zhong Juchou was planning to retreat all the way to Feiyun Yuan, but he didn't expect that Tang Jun would pursue him so quickly. But now that he had encountered them, he was not prepared to retreat and simply fought with these Tang people.
These Qiang and Hu people have been attacking the city for the past few days. They have suffered a lot of losses and are very angry. When they saw the Tang army today, they became more ferocious.
Zhong Juchou's Qiang and Hu people were no more than 7,000, but when they met Li Gaoqian's troops, the number was about the same.
In this battle, Liu Hongji, Dou Gui, and Li Gaoqian each had a main force of eight to nine thousand people. Chai Shao and Tang Jian had more than 10,000 Chang'an forbidden troops in their hands. Qiu Xinggong, Murong Luohu, and Lin Xingcan led the family troops and local armed forces, each with four to five thousand people.
When the two sides fought, it was as intense as a comet hitting the earth.
Zhong Juqiu¡¯s Qiang and Hu soldiers were fierce, and most of Li Gaoqian¡¯s troops were his old subordinates who had followed Li Yuan in raising troops in Jinyang. They were serious officers and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty.
So the two sides fought with great momentum in the Nangou area, and the fighting situation was unprecedented.
On the Loess Plateau, the most indispensable thing is flying dust. The loess, with its turbid blood, turned into mud. The smell of blood was earthy and disgusting.
The two sides fought fiercely for more than half an hour, with no outcome in sight.
At this time, Li Gaoqian felt a little unable to hold on. Although Li Gaoqian was brave, the infantry and cavalry met suddenly, so he was already at a disadvantage and it was difficult to defeat the enemy.
If he can really suppress the opponent and fight, he will become a famous general throughout the ages. Fortunately, Zhong Juchou's troops were brave but lacked organization and could not exert their full strength. Otherwise, Li Gaoqian would have been defeated long ago.
¡°However, Li Gaoqian has been gritting his teeth and supporting himself.
In order to defeat the enemy, Li Gaoqian even formed a death squad himself and launched several waves of attacks against the Western Qin Army.
The battle was so fierce that even Li Gaoqian was covered in blood. Two of his horses were shot to death and he refused to retreat.
This situation lasted until Li Shimin led the main force to arrive. Zhong Juchou, who had the upper hand, finally retreated when he saw that enemy backup had arrived.
A group of cavalry infantry huffing and puffing, coming and going like the wind, catching people off guard.
Li Shimin led the crowdWhen I rushed to the battlefield, I looked at the corpses on the ground and Li Gaoqian, who had been killed. They all looked unhappy.
In this battle, I thought that the Western Qin army was in a panic and fled in panic, but no one expected that it would turn out to be so brave. If the Western Qin army is such an army, then even if they catch up with each other, they may not be able to win.
At this time, Pei Ji whispered: "Mr. Qin, although the Western Qin army has retreated, its combat strength has not been reduced. It may not be possible to win if we pursue it."
Although Pei Ji is the commander-in-chief of the army, Li Yuan's confidants have the important responsibility of supervising the army and have a strong voice. However, Pei Ji didn't know much about military strategy, so even if he wanted to retreat, he had to look at Li Shimin's ideas.
Li Shimin's expression changed several times.
"My teacher taught me that if we retreat before the battle, we must use strong troops to break up the rear. Otherwise, once the enemy pursues us, the rear army will be defeated and collapse, and the whole army may also collapse.
Xue Ju is a man who knows how to fight, and the soldiers who cut off the rear should be his last strong force. "
"If the Western Qin army was really defeated, he really wouldn't dare to pursue it.
But now, Li Shimin still believes that Xue Ju retired after running out of food.
In fact, Li Shimin cannot completely guarantee that Xue Ju does not have other strong soldiers in his hands, but at this time, the pursuit may still be successful, but if he retreats, the battle will be ruined.
So the Tang army continued to pursue westward.
Everyone moved forward, and in the evening, they finally arrived at Feiyunyuan. It was dark, and everyone was exhausted after chasing for a day, so Li Shimin ordered the entire army to rest here.
This is the place where the Western Qin Army rested before, and there are also items left behind by the Western Qin Army's hasty retreat.
Everyone found a place to rest, while Li Shimin was thinking about the current battle situation. After chasing for so long, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything.
After all, Li Shimin had fought few battles and still lacked experience.
At this time, Chai Shao came to deliver dinner to Li Shimin.
Chai Shao casually told Li Shimin that the stove abandoned by the Qin army was convenient for them to use, so the dinner could be cooked so quickly.
At this time Li Shimin stood up suddenly, and he finally figured out the problem.
If the Qin army fled in panic, how could they have the time to stop and build large-scale pots and stoves, and could they completely leave it to the Tang army? This is because the Tang army does not know the number of pots and stoves they have.
And during this pursuit, although a lot of materials discarded by the Tang army were seized, most of them were treasures and not much military materials. If the soldiers discarded it on their own, they should have kept the treasures and discarded other debris.
unless! Mi He Mi
An idea flashed through Li Shimin's mind. They might have fallen into the Western Qin Army's strategy of luring the enemy deeper
