Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Immediately, Chu Xiang ignored the obstruction of his lieutenants and counselors and insisted on leading his cavalry in a light carriage all the way to Shaanxi Guanxia.

After Li Changlin received Chu Xiang's reply, he immediately launched a series of deployments.

The two sides agreed to launch an attack at three quarters at noon.

Soon, as time passed, Chu Xiang and her cavalry quietly came to Shaanxi Guan and ambush all around.

Finally, when the time came to three quarters noon, Li Changlin in the city finally launched a surprise attack.

He first sent people to guard the city gate firmly under the pretext of inspecting the city defense.

Then, taking advantage of the carelessness of the soldiers guarding the city, he spread his subordinates around them on the pretext of inspecting the strength of the city wall.

Finally, he transferred all the soldiers he brought this time, as well as the soldiers disguised as civilians, to the gates of each camp.

Prepare to wait for the war to block the advance of those reinforcements.

Li Changlin, who had made all preparations, finally waited until three quarters of noon as time passed.

Without any hesitation, he directly pulled out the saber from his waist, chopped down a guard whose back was facing him to the ground, and then roared:

"Brothers, follow me."

In an instant, Li Changlin's subordinates, who were hiding everywhere and had already found their target, drew out their weapons one after another and launched a surprise attack on the surrounding defenders who were still confused.

The battle went extremely smoothly. In just a few moments, Li Changlin and his men seized control of the east gate of Guan Guan, Shaanxi.

Then, he lit the beacon on the city wall and guided Chu Xiang to seize the city.

Chu Xiang, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the smoke rising from Shaanxi Guan. He immediately took the lead and rushed into Shaanxi Guan with his cavalry without saying a word.

However, what Chu Xiang and Li Changlin did not expect was that while there was such a big commotion at the East City Gate, there was only a small-scale commotion in Shaanxi Guan.

Just as he was wondering, the last cavalry entered.

Suddenly, there was a cry of killing outside the city, and then, countless Shaanxi Guoguan defenders swarmed toward the east gate like a flood.

Seeing this situation, Chu Xiang and Li Changlin immediately felt something was wrong, and immediately prepared to order the city gate to be closed and block the Shaanxi Guoguan garrison outside the city.

However, before the order was issued, shouts of killing were heard from the other three gates in the city at the same time.

Then, the soldiers who had been deployed by Li Changlin at various strategic points, preparing to sneak attack on the reinforcements, were attacked at the same time.

This battle was different from the previous one in Chang'an City, and the running this way.

Since firearms are banned in Chang'an City, the only way to fight is with real swords and guns. The two sides rely on their numbers, quality, and strategy. You come and go with real swords and guns.

But here, at the forefront of the confrontation between the Tang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty, both sides basically have a bludgeoning weapon.

As soon as the soldiers arranged by Li Changlin came forward, they were mercilessly attacked by the guns of the defenders of Shaanxi Guoguan, and they were all beaten to pieces at the first opportunity.

Although they all hold swords and guns in their hands, even though they are all heroes and heroes, even though they are all brave and fearless of death.

But without armor, without long-range attacks, relying only on the long knife in his hand and the flesh and blood on his body, when facing the dense fire and gun attacks, it is simply the same as dying.

After only holding on for less than a stick of incense, Li Changlin's soldiers deployed everywhere were defeated, disintegrated, and wiped out by the defenders.

Not only that, the defenders gathered from all over and launched an encirclement directly towards the east city gate.

Since this time he was preparing for a sneak attack, Chu Xiang only brought less than 10000 cavalry.

Originally, I thought that with the guard Li Ji away, I and Li Changlin would be able to easily take down the leaderless Shaanxi Guanguan.

But he didn't expect that people had already seen through his plan, and the reason why he didn't reveal it was simply to catch a turtle in a jar.

Chu Xiang, who had figured out the clues, did not hesitate at all after knowing that he had been fooled. He left half of the men and horses to cut off the rear, while he took the other half of the men and horses and began to break out of the city.

Seeing that Chu Xiang was about to leave, Li Changlin finally reacted and immediately grabbed a cavalry's horse, followed closely behind him, and broke out towards the outside of the city.

The battle started here, and Li Shimin, Li Ji and Chu Mo who were ten miles away naturally heard the movement.

However, no one on either side took any action and just stood silently in place.

The battle only lasted for a short half an hour.

Half an hour later, Chu Xiang left more than 8000 cavalrymen, and with the remaining 1000 people, he finally broke through the encirclement and fled towards Shaanzhou.

Li Changlin, on the other hand, simply abandoned all his soldiers, leaving only one man and one horse, and fled like crazy after Chu Xiang.

However, what the two of them did not expect was that for some reason, at the critical moment, the soldiers who could have trapped them under the Shaanxi Temple stopped chasing them as if they had received some message, and just watched them helplessly. Ran away.

At first, Chu Xiang and Li Changlin were so busy running around that no one could think about it.

But after the two escaped from the siege and met up with the reinforcements who came to meet them, when they thought about it carefully, they felt that something was strange.

Originally, the two of them thought that the soldiers were not fast enough and could not catch up with them.

But Chu Xiang clearly remembered that when he was leaving the city, the cavalry of Shaanxi Guoguan were already in action behind him. They were about to set off in pursuit, but they suddenly stopped for some unknown reason.

The two calmed down and thought about it carefully, and the more they thought about it, the more something was wrong.

So after a short rest, a large number of scouts were immediately dispatched to Shaanxi and Guo to observe the situation.

You don't know this, but when you inquired about it, both of them almost felt regretful.

It turned out that after some inquiring, the two of them found out.

The soldiers Li Changlin sent to ambush Li Ji actually succeeded.

After Li Ji received the news of the attack on Shaanxi Guoguan, he immediately returned with his people.

While on the road, they were indeed ambushed.

Originally, because Li Ji already knew that there was an ambush along the way, he would not fall into the trap.

However, the opponent was too arrogant and thought he had a chance to win. He actually took the lead and took the initiative to charge towards the ambushed soldiers.

It was also his bad luck. During the charge, a stray arrow hit the eye of the horse under his crotch.

The war horse went crazy in pain, threw Li Ji off the horse, and was directly trampled on by the war horse behind it that couldn't brake quickly.

In the end, although all the ambush soldiers were wiped out, Li Ji died from serious injuries.
