Chapter 540 Xiang Yu''s Hundred Cavalry Cavalry (Part 1)
Chapter 539: Xiang Yu''s Hundred Cavalry Cavalry (Part 1)
"Everyone, the spies have sent a definite news. Xiang Yu is currently in Hulao Pass."
Looking at Qin Hao and others, Li Shimin said happily, "And there are only two dangerous places in this place, there are camps in two dangerous places."
Yang Jian immediately showed joy when he heard this and said excitedly: "So, as long as you break through these two camps, will there be no barriers in front of Hulao Pass?"
"That''s right." Li Shimin nodded heavily.
"Okay, what are you waiting for? Stay here for one more point and give Xiang Yu an extra point of time to prepare." Yang Jian said anxiously, and he wanted to fly to Hulao Pass immediately.
"The last general thinks the same way, but in order to ensure that, and to exert the combat power of the cavalry, we will wait until the cavalry expires and carry out the general attack."
Li Shimin is worthy of being the "Tian Khan". His enemy is still calm as always and makes the most correct decision, which makes Qin Hao dare not look down on him at all.
After Li Shimin glanced at Qin Hao, he said, "Now, the offensive assignment..."
Seeing that Li Shimin did not shy away at all, and was preparing to let his subordinates join in the attack, Qin Hao wanted to hurriedly say to Li Shimin with an apology:
"General Li, what I brought this time are all archers and cavalrymen, so I may not be able to help you in siege and capture the city."
Li Shimin has 50,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry in his hand, and behind him is the full support of his father-in-law Dong Zhuo. The consumption of siege and village can still be afforded.
Qin Hao has already left the Jin army, so naturally it is impossible and will not rely on the Jin army. He has only a few thousand cavalry under his command, so of course it is impossible to consume it in such a tough battle.
Li Shimin seemed to have expected that there was no surprise on his face, and he smiled indifferently: "It is a great kindness for the Marquis to come to help. Let me give it to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry later."
"Um."
Qin Hao nodded, but he felt very unhappy. He felt like he was seen through by Li Shimin, and this was a taboo for all the kings.
It seems that you have to be careful when dealing with Li Shimin in the future. Qin Hao thought to himself.
When attacking Ogu Pass, although Li Shimin''s command performance was excellent, he was all taken away by Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba. The amazing performances of these two people were stolen by the limelight.
What we are facing now is just two newly built villages. How can we stop Li Shimin, the emperor of the ages?
Li Shimin''s tactical command ability is quite strong. Qin Hao was lucky enough to witness it once when he was at Oguchi Pass, and now it is the second time.
Although the enemy''s Dazhai was newly built, they were all built in dangerous places with terrain, so it was not easy to break through.
But who is Li Shimin? That was one of the emperors with the strongest ability to command troops in Chinese history, so how could he be stopped by two small villages?
Li Shimin pointed his sword straight at the Dazhai and shouted, "Attack."
The next moment, nearly 10,000 Liangzhou Iron Cavalry launched a charge at the same time, and the defenders in the Dazhai immediately launched a counterattack, but the Xiliang Iron Cavalry did not cause much casualties.
There were only 5,000 defenders in the village, so the scale of the arrow rain was limited. Li Shimin really saw this, so he ordered the cavalry to separate, which minimized the threat of arrows, and concentrated when approaching the camp, which also gathered the combat power again.
Faced with Li Shimin''s flexible and ruthless command, the first big village was easily broken by Li Shimin, and even Li Yuanba did not go to fight.
After breaking through the first big village, Yang Jian asked Yang Guang to handle the funeral, and he and Li Shimin went to capture the last big village without stopping, and this big village also failed to last for half a day. Li Shimin easily captured two large villages that were easy to defend but difficult to attack and had more than 10,000 mercenaries in just one day, but his own casualties were less than 3,000.
With Li Yuanba and Yuwen Chengdu not fighting, they broke into two camps and killed 6,000 enemies and suffered less than 3,000 casualties. This shows how high Li Shimin''s level of standing up command is!
After two camps were settled, Yang Jian ordered Yang Su to stay and deal with the funeral. The 30,000 cavalrymen, including Qin Hao, immediately rushed to Hulao Pass and finally arrived at Hulao Pass in the evening.
"Finally arrived."
Looking at the towering and absent pass in front of him, Li Shimin was both excited and complicated. This was the greatest shameful place in his life.
Li Shimin will never forget that day a year ago. It was also before this Hulao Pass that Xiang Yu killed his third brother Li Yuanji and nailed his eldest brother Li Jiancheng to death in front of Li Shimin.
Later, Xiang Yu directly trampled Li Shimin on the ground to humiliate him. If his uncle Li Daozong had sacrificed his life to save him, Li Shimin would definitely die.
The deaths of the two brothers and two elders made Li Shimin completely lose his mind. At that time, he swears to the sky in front of Xiang Yu: If he does not die, he will kill Xiang Yu!
Now this day has finally come.
"Hahaha…"
Li Shimin suddenly burst into laughter, which made everyone look at him, thinking to himself what was wrong with him?
Qin Hao really understood Li Shimin''s neurotic abnormal behavior very well, and also understood that Li Shimin must have been suppressed for a long time, and the subsequent battles may have become Li Shimin''s inner catharsis.
"Xiang Yu, if you offend such a genius who holds revenge, you will probably not be lonely in the next life." Qin Hao said in his heart.
On this empty night, Li Shimin''s laughter seemed particularly vulnerable. After laughing wildly for a while, he finally stopped.
Seeing this, Li Xiuning stepped forward and asked, "Second brother, do you want to attack overnight?"
Li Shimin breathed a long breath, and after a little thought, he said, "No, I''ll pull two villages in a row a day. The soldiers are already very tired. Let''s have a good rest tonight and attack the city with all their might tomorrow."
Qin Hao admired Li Shimin''s calmness. He found that compared with Li Shimin, he still had many shortcomings.
Late at night, except for the guards who were vigilant, the 30,000 troops were already asleep.
At the same time, not far from the camp, a team of hundreds of cavalry covered their flags and even walked in a cloth, and was quietly coming to the camp, and the leader was Xiang Yu.
Looking at the brightly lit village in front of him, Xiang Yu couldn''t help but say to himself: "The Han army''s post was really tightly arranged. If it weren''t for only bringing a hundred cavalry to come this time, he might not have been here."
Xiang Yu brought only a hundred people to the camp this time. Of course, this is not because Xiang Yu didn''t want to bring more people, but he only had a hundred cavalry in his hands, and they were all taken from the Han army. There is no cavalry in Hulao Pass now.
The two camps were successively captured by Li Shimin within a day, which was a huge blow to the morale of the prisoners of war. In this state, Xiang Yu was not sure that he could persevere until the reinforcements arrived, so Xiang Yu took the risk of leading a hundred cavalry to rob the camp to boost morale.
?I have a little bit of a card recently, and today I will update two times, and the second update will be later. In addition, I would like to recommend a few good books to you, "The Moon of the Qin Dynasty: The Scale of the Reverse Scale", "Who Restores the Mountains and Rivers of the Han Family" and "This Improper in the End of Han". If you are interested, you can read it!
