Chapter 668 Sweep
Luo Zhaoyun personally led the six thousand iron cavalry, divided them into several strands, and inserted them into the Tubo camp.
This Yan's armored cavalry was invested by Luo Zhaoyun in huge expenses. It was covered with iron armor and the weight of iron was far greater than that of other soldiers' armor. Even the mount was wrapped in iron armor. Whether it was a knight or a war horse, they all wore masks and only had their eyes exposed.
The cold air was covered in coldness, and the swords and axes were swung, and the cold arrows and spears of ordinary soft bows were not as serious as the armored warriors.
Under the night, the camp was invincible, and the elite cavalry rushed around the camp. With the help of the impact of war horses and the power of armor, the Tubo army rushed to fight in a hurry. In the night, there was no preparation and no power to resist.
"Kill! Kill-kill--"
The elite cavalry swept by one after another, and the Tubo army in the camp fell one after another, becoming lifeless corpses.
The Dangxiang Knights of these nomadic tribes are usually herdsmen. When they gather, they become soldiers and when they are scattered, they serve the people. There is no formal military training. At this time, they are like a pile of scattered sand, fleeing everywhere, and being harvested by the cavalry of the Sui army.
Luo Zhaoyun held a spear and was brave enough to take advantage of it. He led his personal guards and cavalry, and pierced them through the ground like digging gypsum board, cutting the camp and riddled with holes.
The Tubo soldiers screamed constantly, with countless casualties. Some were stabbed by spears, and some were trampled into meat paste by horse hooves. The sound of fighting against each other became smaller and smaller. In just half an hour, the camp of the Right Army, which was stationed in 10,000 horses, was completely destroyed.
When the Sui army gathered again outside the camp, there were not much casualties, only a few hundred people were lost. However, more than half of the Tubo army with a total of 10,000 people were killed in the camp. Some of them became surrendered troops, while the others fled in panic.
"Take away the war horses, burn the camp, and then withdraw the troops!" Luo Zhaoyun ordered.
"Abide by the order!"
In an instant, a fire broke out in the entire camp, and it could be seen several miles away, burning Tubo's supplies and corpses.
In fact, Gar Dongzan, more than ten miles away, had received news of the attack on the Right Army. He quickly ordered the army to be mobilized to prepare for rescue. However, as more and more deserters came over and described the scene, he had already felt that the situation was hopeless and there was no need to go to rescue him, and more people might be lost.
What's more, the smarter the person is, the suspicious he is. He complicates the thoughts of people and makes them more suspicious. Gar Dongzan suspected that the Sui army had ambushed on the way and wanted to attack ambush on the way, so he used the strategy of besieging the city to fight aid. Therefore, he did not dare to send troops to rescue him.
"I didn't expect that before the confrontation, he had planned a game, and he was still a game worse than him." Gar Dongzan felt that he was also an extremely smart man, but he suffered a loss at Luo Cheng's hands in the two confrontations. The last time he fought against the Turks, Luo Cheng participated and played a significant role. This time, he should have avenged his shame and wanted to deal with Luo Cheng, but he missed the first move.
"I'm careless. Luo Cheng has already overestimated him. I didn't expect that he would use troops so quickly and intriguely, and dare to send troops to attack my Right Army first!" At this time, Gar Dongzan didn't know that it was Luo Cheng himself leading the troops. Luo Cheng's army, which he had been sending people to pay attention to, was actually a cover.
………
After more than ten days of advance, the Li Tang army conquered the ancient city of Chang'an and accepted many talents and children of Guanlong nobles. The entire Jingzhao County was densely populated, and after all, it was a county directly under the imperial city, so it was full of talents and joined the Li Tang's army one after another.
Although Luo Zhaoyun sent people to plunder some talents in advance, he was just a vassal king of the imperial court and could not openly issue orders for talent and recruit talents. However, Li Tang was different. He had already rebelled and simply promoted Zun Sui, but he opposed Yang Guang and recruited Guanlong children to join the Li Tang team and contribute to the country.
These Guanlong children knew it well that this was just a slogan. In fact, the Li family wanted to win the world on their own. They flocked to it, and wanted to join earlier, occupy a favorable position, and enter the core of power. They were easily reused and promoted. Those who joined later would definitely be rejected. It is more difficult to advance the career of officials than those who came before.
After walking around Fang Xuanling and others, they brought the children of nobles who were good at their family, such as Yan Shigu, an expert from Anyang County Wei.
At the same time, some rebel leaders from the Sanfu area near Jingzhao County and many heroes from Guanzhong came to join, making the Tang army led by Li Shimin even stronger. From the initial 40,000 to the first 50,000 to the joining of his younger sister Li Xiuning, it reached 70,000 to 80,000, and at this time it even exceeded 100,000 troops.
After the news was sent back, Li Yuan could not hold back and felt that Daye was about to succeed. He immediately led 100,000 troops to continue crossing the river from Longmen Array and Fengling Du, bypassing Hangu Pass, Tongguan and other natural dangers, and headed straight for Jingzhao County.
Yang You, the King of Dai in Daxing City, was so anxious that he cried. After all, he was just an eleven-year-old child. When encountering such an urgent matter, it was like a mountain of Tai collapsed. How could he not panic?
The left-behind officials in the court were divided into two factions, one of which was the main battle, such as Wei Wensheng, Yin Shishi, Hua Yi and others. When Li Yuan was in Taiyuan, they sent people to dig the Li family's ancestral tomb. If they cut off their own way of retreat, they would have to fight to the end.
The faction that surrendered was some fence-headed people who did not want to be buried with them, such as Cui Pijia, Li Renzheng and others. They felt that resistance was meaningless and opened the city to surrender. Since Li Yuan was under the banner of obeying the Sui Dynasty, he would not kill everyone and jointly build a new Sui Dynasty. This is completely a fantasy.
In the end, the right to speak was still on the side with military power. Wei Wensheng disagreed with the opposition and resisted resolutely, mobilized tens of thousands of troops in the city to defend, and at the same time sent people to break through and send messages to Qu Tutong, Tongguan, requesting return assistance, and rescuing the siege of Daxing.
Li Shimin was worried that he would have many dreams at night and ended up being attacked by enemies from both sides, so he took advantage of the fact that Xue Ju troops attacked Tang Bi of Fufeng County, and ordered a fierce attack on Daxing City.
For a moment, flags were flying outside the imperial city, ladders were elevated, arrows were like rain, war drums were bursting, and killing sounds were noisy.
Under the leadership of some powerful generals such as Yin Kaishan, Duan Zhixuan, Lei Yongji, and others, Li Tang soldiers continued to climb the city and launched a series of offensives.
Under this situation, the Sanfu area rushed to the rebel army and heard the news. The heroes were fierce, and they all felt that Daxing City could not be saved, so they rushed over to make meritorious service and support the Li family to change the country.
The general trend was formed, and everyone pushed him down. All the male men who hated Yang Guang's tyrant also joined the team.
However, the city walls of Daxing are high and strong, with sufficient materials, and nearly 100,000 elite troops guarding them. In a short period of time, the Li Tang army was still unable to conquer them. However, with Li Yuan leading a large army to reinforce, the continuous influx of troops from various parts of Guanlong, it was only a matter of time before the conquering the imperial city.
