Chapter 710 Xuanjia Army

Ying Zheng, who heard this in another timeline, looked up at the small light screen he had placed to the side.

He wondered when he had ever said such a thing, but he understood the meaning behind it.

"In September of that year, after the two armies clashed, Wang Shichong's subordinates surrendered one after another. Nine prefectures, including Xing, Bian, Wei, and Yu, led their troops to surrender."

"As the situation further developed, many prefectures and counties under Wang Shichong sent people to surrender. Perhaps they felt that their leader was not in a good position, and many of them re-voted and surrendered to Li Tang!"

"On the other hand, regardless of whether Wang and Dou broke off their relationship, Wang still asked Dou Jiande for help. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Dou Jiande himself thought that if he beat up Wang, it would be his turn."

Wan Chao's crowd: So these two have teamed up?

"So, this battle to beat up Old Wang has gained a new teammate. Wow~ it can be considered another version of the Three Kingdoms. In February of the fourth year of Wude, Li Shimin entered Qingcheng Palace."

Wei, Shu, and Wu: "..."

"At this time, the Tang army had not yet set up camp. Wang Shichong launched a preemptive attack. At this point, he had no choice but to gamble his last chip and lead 20,000 men to set up camp facing the Gu River from Fangzhu Gate."

"For this reason, the King of Qin selected a thousand elite cavalrymen, dressed in black armor and black clothes, and called them the Xuanjia Army. They were divided into four teams, left and right, each commanded by Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Jingde, and Zhai Changsun."

"These are all famous generals, and they are also acquaintances of Old Wang. In every battle, Erfeng would personally put on armor and lead them as the vanguard, and they were invincible. In this battle, King Qin led the Xuanjia Army to form a battle formation at Beiman Mountain."

"Then Erfeng told Qututong that after the battle, they should set off a signal fire and then come to his rescue. The young Li Shimin, who was only in his early twenties, was a man of his word and did what he said. Sure enough, he cooperated well with Qututong, who was over sixty years old, and took the lead in the battle."

"Although the charge was too fierce and the army went too far into enemy territory, it did not affect the results. The two armies fought fiercely for a whole morning. Old Wang could not hold on any longer, and the Tang army pursued them to the walls of Luoyang, capturing and killing six or seven thousand men."

"The Tang army has besieged Luoyang. This place has been busy for the past few years. Prices in the city have skyrocketed. A bolt of silk is only worth three liters of millet. Many people in the city have starved to death."

"After that, Prince Qin, Li Shimin, ordered an attack on the city from all sides. The city's defenses were quite strong. It is said that the cannons could shoot stones weighing fifty catties and throw them two hundred paces away. The Tang army attacked for more than ten days but still couldn't take it down."

"Upon seeing this, the generals sent a representative to speak with the King of Qin, saying that everyone had been out for more than half a year and was very tired, and that they had already made enough contributions, so let's go back!"

Erfeng said no, "We've come this far. If we turn back now, we'll just have to keep fighting. We've already come all this way, and we're just one step away from victory. Why would we turn back?"

"Old Li, who is far away in Chang'an, heard about this and said to Erlang, 'Come back quickly! If you keep hitting your father, I'm afraid I won't be able to control you!' As a result, Erfeng wrote a letter saying that Luoyang will definitely be captured."

Erfeng: A son is away from home; he may disobey his father's orders!

Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty: "..."

"Then, Wang Shichong's younger brother surrendered to Li Shiji, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the Tang army seized Hulao Pass first."

"Dou Jiande, who joined later, was not idle either. He transported grain by both water and land, and together with Wang Shichong's brother, he led an army of over 100,000, claiming to be 300,000. He even sent a message to Wang Shichong: 'Brother, hold on a little longer, wait for me!'"

Dou Jiande: Old Wang! Hang in there, there's always a way!!!
