Age of Empires: Beginning Reincarnation as Prince of Qin

Chapter 207 The Battle of Han and Tang Dynasties, the Battle of Le'an County,

Li Jiancheng didn't understand why his father, who had always loved peace, actually supported his second brother's idea of ​​leading the battle this time.

However, Li Jiancheng has always followed the principle of filial piety, and he and his second brother have a good opinion. Since the father and emperor supported the second brother's idea, it is difficult for Li Jiancheng to say anything more.

Li Jiancheng didn't know that Li Yuan was trying to distract Li Shimin and keep him away from Chang'an, the political center of the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as Li Yuan's plan came out, Li Shimin lost all his prestige when he was defeated, and he never thought of enthroning.

Although Li Shimin was lucky enough to win, Li Yuan would not let him return to Chang'an.

It has to be said that Li Yuan plotted against his second son for the sake of his eldest son, no wonder Li Shimin did so many extreme things in the future.

Ever since Li Yuan appointed Li Shimin as Tiance general, Li Shimin formed a Tiance army.The strength of this Tiance Army is not large, only about [-] people.

However, don't underestimate these 5 people. These [-] people are all powerful troops carefully selected by Li Shimin.

Those ordinary soldiers, all of them are strong men with a height of 1.8 meters, and each of them has to be an enemy of ten or a hundred enemies on the battlefield to be selected.

In addition to the 5000 infantry, Li Shimin also formed a [-]-strong black armored cavalry. These black armored cavalry also used the best equipment and the best horses.

Li Shimin formed this elite army in order to be able to lead this army to the battlefield one day.

Li Shimin is a sensible person. He is very clear that he has no advantage in this battle for succession.

Not to mention, staying in Chang'an, Li Yuan didn't give him a chance to handle government affairs and express himself.

Even if Li Yuan gave him the opportunity to meddle in the government affairs, Li Shimin could not compare with his elder brother Li Jiancheng in terms of government affairs.

Therefore, if Li Shimin wants to gain the upper hand in the battle for the heir apparent, there is only one chance.That is to start a war, to fight a war.

Only war can give Li Shimin a chance to express himself.

Only war can make Li Shimin prove that he is much stronger than his elder brother Li Jiancheng.

Outside Chang'an City, Tiance's military camp.

"Kill, kill, kill."

In the barracks, bursts of shouts sounded, and the horse and infantry battalions of the Tiance Army were training intensively.

Both the infantry and the cavalry are conducting offensive and defensive drills in formation, with the cavalry as the attacking side and the infantry as the defensive side.

Of course, in this exercise, the two sides did not use metal weapons, but unified wooden weapons.

As the command flag in the commander's hand continued to wave, the five thousand Xuanjia cavalry began to change their attack formations.

However, no matter how they change their attack formation, it is always difficult to break through the gradual defense line of the infantry.

This mysterious armored cavalry is the sharpest spear in Li Shimin's hands.And this 5 cavalry is the strongest shield in Li Shimin's hands.

"It should be an elite soldier!" Li Shimin couldn't help sighing.

This strategist army can be said to have been brought out by Li Shimin alone.From ordinary soldiers to all generals, Li Shimin single-handedly promoted them.

It can be said that in the eyes of Tiance Army, they are Li Shimin's private army.Li Shimin's order came first to them, even if it was Li Yuan's order, it would have to come later.

Li Shimin nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Get ready, the troops will be dispatched in three days!"

In the blink of an eye, the three-day period has come.

Three days later, outside Chang'an City.

A full five infantry phalanxes lined up, at the forefront of the five infantry phalanxes.

Each infantry phalanx is exactly 1 people, no more, no less.

In front of the infantry phalanx is a slightly smaller cavalry phalanx, which is Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry.

Among the seven kingdoms of the Central Plains, when it comes to armor manufacturing skills, the Tang Dynasty can be said to be second only to the Song Dynasty.

The armor and weapons equipped by the Tiance Army are also the most advanced in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Looking around, the entire city of Chang'an is a black ocean, a piece of black armor, full of cold solemnity.

At this moment, Li Shimin came out wearing a golden tiger head armor and riding a tall horse.

Li Shimin's horse is different from other people's horses. There are many generals who can fight well in this world.

There are too many good BMW horses that can travel thousands of miles a day and [-] miles at night.

The BMWs stepped by these generals are white, black, red, yellow, cyan, and even flowers.

However, only the horse under Li Shimin's crotch is different.Li Shimin get off quickly. This horse is purple, and the mane on its neck is very long.

The horse under Li Shimin's crotch is beautiful. If it is in the horse world, it is like Diao Chan, Xi Shi, and Yang Yuhuan in the horse world.

I don't know how many colts bowed down under the saddle bridge of this purple horse.

This horse is not only good-looking, but also has a nice name, named Sa Luzi.

Li Shimin rode this BMW to the front of the army. Immediately, all the soldiers in front of him fell to their knees.

"We, pay homage to General Tiance!"

"We, pay homage to General Tiance!"

Seeing Li Shimin coming to the front of the army, the tens of thousands of Tiance soldiers knelt down on one knee and shouted tearfully.

Tens of thousands of Tiance troops are ready to go, and they are full of fighting spirit.

"Brothers, the big man has repeatedly bullied me, the Tang Dynasty, by relying on his military strength!"

"Can we bear it?"

"Tell me, General, what should we do!" Li Shimin yelled at the soldiers under him, holding on to the reins of the horse.

"Anyone who bullies me will be killed."

"Kill it!"

"Kill it!"

Tens of thousands of Tiance soldiers screamed with their throats blushing.

"I, Li Shimin, will never return to the army if I don't take back Le'an County when I go out here!" After saying that, Li Shimin threw the whip in his hand into the air, then drew out the sword around his waist, and cut off the whip with one blow.

"If you break this oath, it will be like this whip!"

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the morale of the soldiers on the expedition immediately rose, and each of them wished to swallow the life of the big man alive.

Immediately, Li Shimin took the lead, followed by tens of thousands of soldiers, and rushed to the front line together.

While Li Shimin was on his way to Le'an County, Han Xin's army had already arrived in Le'an County.
After Han Xin arrived in Anle County, he immediately launched a fierce counterattack.Who is Han Xin? This is a famous soldier.

Under such a fierce counterattack, Tang Jun was beaten and retreated steadily.Now, Han Xin has not only regained his own Ningcheng.

He has already begun to lead the army to attack the first generation of Fengcheng in Datang. Han Xin brought about 20 soldiers and horses, plus the 10,000+ Han army originally stationed in Le'an County.

Han Xin's three 10,000+ troops lined up, facing the Tang territory headed by Fengcheng, and launched a nationwide attack.

Han Xin's attack method has only one characteristic, that is, it is fast.He launched a full-line attack with lightning speed.

Because the reinforcements led by Han Xin arrived first, but Li Shimin was still on the way.Therefore, nowadays, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty can only be at an absolute disadvantage.

Tang Jun could only rely on the city wall to defend, and he was beaten because he didn't even have the time to take the lead.

Han Xin is very aware of his disadvantages, he is now using a mere Chu to fight against the entire Tang Dynasty.

When it comes to the ability of protracted warfare, he can't compare with Datang.So, he has to fight fast now.

Take down Le'an County with the fastest speed, and then use this as a barrier to defend against Datang's attack.

Half a month has passed, and Li Jing's military strength is absolutely historical after all. Under Han Xin's successive onslaughts, Datang has already lost three cities.

At this time, Li Shimin was less than two days away from Le'an County. At this time, Li Yuan's imperial edict was also delivered to Li Jing.

Li Yuan ordered Li Jing in the imperial decree to hand over the military power of Le'an County to Li Shimin, and ordered Li Jing to rush to Chang'an City to return to his command.

The safety of the entire Le'an County was handed over to Li Shimin, but Li Jing, the number one god of war in the Tang Dynasty, was asked to return to Chang'an.

But the opponent on the opposite side is the famous soldier immortal of the big man.You know, even if Li Jing commanded troops, within half a month, Han Xin attacked three cities in succession.

Although, the most important reason for this is that Han Xin has an advantage in military strength.However, it is enough to prove Han Xin's ability in military command.

Handing over Le'an County to Li Shimin, to be honest, Li Jing's heart was a little beating.

However, this imperial decree has been sent, and the king's order must not be violated.

If you disobey the imperial decree, you will lose your head.Li Jing is helpless now, he has to go if he doesn't leave, now he just waits for Li Shimin to come and take over.

Li Jing really didn't understand Li Yuan's thoughts, so he could only sigh helplessly in his heart: "The emperor's mind, the emperor's mind!"

What is Li Yuan thinking?He wanted to give up the entire Le'an County in exchange for internal peace.

Li Yuan withdrew Li Jing and let Li Shimin accept the frontline war.It is concluded that Li Shimin is definitely not Han Xin's opponent, and once Li Shimin loses Le'an County on the front line, then he will be nailed to Datang's shame.

Once this is the case, Li Shimin will never have the possibility of competing with Li Jiancheng.

Even if Li Shimin wins accidentally, Li Yuan will make him king and order him to stay in Le'an County.

To fight against the outside world, we must first settle down inside. Li Yuan believes that the internal worries of the Tang Dynasty are far more than the external ones.

Foreign aggression is nothing more than letting Datang lose half of Le'an County, but once the battle for the throne intensifies, it is very likely that Datang will decline.

In Li Yuan's opinion, it was worthwhile to give up half of Le'an County to let Li Shimin completely cut off the chance of competing for the throne, so as to stabilize the Tang Dynasty internally.

Three days later, Li Shimin arrived with his Tiance Army.

After seeing Li Shimin's Tiance Army, Li Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Shimin's Tiance Army is neat and tidy, and at first glance it is an elite force that has always been strong.Moreover, Li Shimin has many fierce generals under him.

Even, if we only talk about the fierce generals under his command, even Li Jing can't compare with Li Shimin.

After all, Li Shimin is a prince and has the title of General Tiance, so naturally he can attract more generals to serve him.

After Li Shimin arrived, Li Jing handed over to him for a while, and then returned to Chang'an with a team of personal entourage.

After Li Jing left, he specifically told Li Shimin to focus on defense and not to confront Han Xin head-on.

Li Jing has already seen that Han Xin cannot stand a long battle.A mere Chu land is tiny compared to Datang.

Fighting wars is not only about military strength, but also national strength.Li Jing understood that as long as he lasted for a few months, Han Xin would naturally retreat.

However, Li Shimin didn't listen to a word of Li Jing's words.

When Li Shimin came here, he didn't come here not to seek meritorious service, but to seek innocence.

Li Shimin came here to make a name for himself and prove that he is much better than his elder brother.

Therefore, instead of being unable to defend, Li Shimin had to take the initiative to attack.

Even, Li Shimin's goal is not just a Le'an county, he also has the idea of ​​plotting against the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty was chaotic, and the seven kings rose together, and the Han Dynasty became a pot of porridge.And Datang, as Dahan's neighbor, now is the best opportunity to pick up a bargain.

Sure enough, Li Jing had just left the day before, and the next day Li Shimin brought his [-] Xuanjia cavalry to fight Han Xin.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Boom."

After the three drums sounded, the two sides each brought about [-] cavalry to confront each other. There was a distance of about several hundred feet between the two sides.

Li Shimin looked at Qin Qiong beside him, and said to Qin Qiong: "Shubao, please go to the battle first, and strengthen my Tang Dynasty's prestige."

Who is Qin Qiong? Qin Qiong is Li Shimin's double-bonus red stick.

But whenever you encounter those seven dissatisfied and eight dissatisfied on the battlefield.Li Shimin pointed at the enemy general and said to Qin Qiong: "Shubao, fuck him!"

Then, Qin Qiong raised his spear and stabbed, often able to take the head of the enemy general from it.

This is the first time Li Shimin and Han Xin have fought against each other. Li Shimin thought to himself, he has to show his momentum.

Therefore, when the battle dared to start, Li Shimin called Qin Qiong's name and asked him to fight Han Xin.

"Order!"

Qin Qiong cupped his hands, whipped his horse and came to the front of the formation, and shouted at the enemy: "Tang general Qin Shubao is here, who can stand up to the battle."

Han Xin is clear about Tang Jun's change of coach.It is a big taboo for military strategists to change coaches just before the battle, not to mention changing from a famous general Li Jing to a little-known little baby.

Li Shimin has not made his own name yet, and his only title now is the second son of Emperor Tang.

Therefore, Han Xin did not put Li Shimin in his eyes.He Han Xin has been a soldier for half his life, if he is afraid of Li Shimin, a little baby.Hasn't the battle of most of his life been hit in the stomach of a dog?

Han Xin looked at the generals under his command, and said in a deep voice, "General Tang can be arrogant, but some people dare to fight."

As soon as Han Xin finished speaking, a young and strong general rushed out and said, "The last general, Li Zuoche, meet this Tang general for a while."

Li Zuoche and Han Xin knew about it, he was very smart and good at martial arts, and Han Xin often reminded him.

Let's put it this way, Han Xin is like Li Zuoche's half master.
