Li Shimin issued an order to urge Niu Jinda to launch an attack. After this order was issued, Li Su learned that he was almost furious at that time.

Why did His Majesty Tian Khan, who had been wise all his life, frequently use tricks in this Eastern Expedition? What happened? Is it because of his eagerness for quick success and instant benefits, or the foolishness of the elderly?

When the army went on a war, the commander always controlled all the fighter's opportunity. An army was handed over to the commander's hands. When to attack, when to retreat, and when to use any strategy, of course, the commander could only decide. Li Shimin was a hundred miles away and knew nothing about Niu Jinda's troops, but he issued such a foolish imperial edict to Niu Jinda. It has to be said that this decree was very wrong, and Li Shimin made a big mistake.

Li Su was anxious and rushed out of the barracks before she even had time to put on her clothes. She planned to go to the patrol to advise Li Shimin. She rushed out of the barracks and ran a few steps. When the bitter cold wind blew outside, Li Su gradually calmed down and his pace became slower and slower.

Finally, Li Su stopped and smiled bitterly.

Judging from the current situation, Niu Jinda's troops did not encounter any danger, nor could they see any signs of crisis. For Li Shimin, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner under his control, and all the strategies and details did not exceed his plan. So, what reason does Li Su have to give advice? Could it be that telling him that you would kill many people and cause unpredictable huge dangers?

If she really said that, Li Shimin might not kill him, but she would definitely ask someone to beat him up.

Li Su was anxious that he had foreseeed danger, but he had no real reason or evidence to prove his foresight.

What to do? Li Su discovered for the first time that his personal power was too small in this military camp of hundreds of thousands of people, so small that he could not change anything. He could only watch countless soldiers killed by the emperor's thought.

Back at his barracks, Li Su stood in the barracks and pondered alone for a long time, and suddenly called Zheng Xiaolou.

"Brother Xiaolou, there is one thing I can only entrust you to do." Li Su said seriously.

Zheng Xiaolou nodded: "You said."

"You will leave the camp immediately, and gallop to Niu Jinda's troops, and then go to see Niu Jinda alone, tell him to ignore the orders of the imperial edict and decide the advancement and retreat of the army according to his own ideas. You must not attack by His Majesty's urging. If you are eager to achieve success, it will easily change. The enemy generals will take advantage of the situation and design profits. Any advancement and retreat should be thought of the life and death of the 100,000 soldiers in your own hands, and you must not make a fuss. Just say this, go quickly!"

Zheng Xiaolou glanced at him deeply and said, "Did you let General Niu go against the order?"

Li Su sighed: "I am just saving the lives of 100,000 people. You should leave quickly. If you send this sentence, you will have great merits."

Zheng Xiaolou nodded and said without hesitation: "Okay."

Zheng Xiaolou quickly left the camp and rushed towards Niushou Mountain.

Li Su walked out of the barracks slowly. Fang Laowu and his men were holding their knives outside the barracks. Just now, Li Su called Zheng Xiaolou in with a serious expression. Fang Laowu knew that something must be important, so he consciously led his men to surround Li Su's barracks to prevent secrets from leaking.

Seeing Li Su coming out, Fang Laowu greeted him and saluted him.

Li Su looked around and said, "Where is that Goryeo woman?"

Fang Laowu smiled and said, "Stay honestly in the tent, our brothers are watching her."

Li Su nodded: "Look at it strictly, she will never be allowed to have any contact with anyone, even eye contact."

Fang Laowu hesitated for a moment and said, "The villain knows that only dead people will not betray her. Since the prince is so careful, why don't he kill her simply?"

Li Su sighed: "You can't kill, at least you can't. Keeping this woman may be of great use."

************************************************************************************

Under the city of Liaodong, Li Jiru's troops' siege was getting faster and faster, and the offensive became more and more fierce.

However, Niu Jinda, who was ordered to block Gao Huizhen's reinforcements, still had no news. Perhaps Zheng Xiaolou had sent Li Su's words. Niu Jinda obviously did not obey the order of Li Shimin's request to launch an attack, but still remained silent. The two armies confronted far away at the foot of the mountain on the east side of Niu Shou Mountain. There were only sporadic small-scale battles every day, with only dozens of casualties.

While Li Su was uneasy, Li Shimin also felt uneasy. However, the reasons for the two were uneasy were different. Li Su was worried about the lives of hundreds of thousands of Guanzhong children, but Li Shimin felt that the situation was not under his control. Niu Jinda's violation of the order made him very angry. Three days later, another stern-worded decree was quickly sent to Niu Jinda's troops. This time, Li Shimin's tone was so fierce and tough that it was comparable to the twelve gold medals given to Yue Fei by the Southern Song Dynasty officials hundreds of years later.

Finally, Niu Jinda could not withstand the pressure from the emperor and had to launch an attack on Gao Huizhen's troops.

The fifth day of the first lunar month of the 19th year of Zhenguan.

40,000 soldiers and horses on the left and right flanks of Niu Jinda launched an attack, and two wings surrounded Gao Huizhen's camp. Sixty thousand soldiers and horses rushed straight to the enemy's vanguard camp from the front. On the night of the dark, the fire flew. With the shouts of thousands of troops and horses, the army rushed into the enemy camp like a strong wind swept the leaves, holding a torch in his hands, setting fires everywhere. In just half an incense stick, Gao Huizhen's camp, which had been stretched for more than ten miles, was ignited and burned by Niu Jinda's soldiers. The camp was only seen in the camp, and the fires were soaring into the sky, and people shouted and neighed. The panic Goryeo enemy troops were slaughtered and killed by the Tang army.

Everything seemed to be going well. Niu Jinda took the initiative to launch an attack, and Gao Hui was indeed caught off guard. This attack was perfect and enough to be included in textbooks.

However, Niu Jinda's good luck seemed to have ended here.

After an hour of raiding the enemy camp, no longer could see the alive Goryeo people in the enemy camp. Niu Jinda ordered a count of the damage to the war. After counting the generals under his command, he found that the raid seemed to kill countless enemies, but the enemy troops who died under the swords and guns of the Tang army had only more than 3,000 people.

After Niu Jinda heard the news, his heart sank in vain and an extreme sense of crisis arose.

It was clearly an enemy camp of 100,000 people, but the enemy troops killed in the end were only more than 3,000. What does this mean?

Niu Jinda's face turned red quickly, his neck was rushing blue, and he immediately shouted loudly at the top of his lungs to retreat, and immediately withdrew from the enemy camp.

Then, it was too late.

As soon as the order was reached, outside the enemy camp, shouts of killing came from all directions. The enemy army was like a tide to emerge from the forest of Niushou Mountain. Rounds of arrows were raining down the sky, shooting straight towards Niu Jinda's troops from the hillside. Countless Tang soldiers fell in the arrows that were as rapid as rain. The screams of despair and the dazzling flames intertwined into a hellish tragic scene.

Niu Jinda's face was pale, and his body was trembling violently on his horse. Seeing the soldiers in front of him running in panic, his entire life seemed to pass away quietly as if he was caught in an arrow.

After many years of war, Niu Jinda had never encountered such a crushing defeat. The veteran who had been through many battles was actually ambushed by the enemy. This humiliation is still better than the crisis at this moment.

The hundreds of personal guards around him held shields in their hands and tried hard to protect Niu Jinda's visibility. Niu Jinda was almost surrounded by shields. The shield covered the arrows in the sky and also covered the firelight of the enemy camp. Only the sound of countless arrows hitting the shield could be heard in his ears, but there was darkness in front of him.

After all, the Tang army was a brave and brave army all over the world. After a brief panic, they finally organized a counterattack. The generals under their command calmed down first, desperately gathered their remnants, and then formed a formation to rush out of the encirclement, trying to break through.

The ambush of the Goryeo enemy was very exquisite. Gao Huizhen used facts to prove his command and strategic skills to the Tang army, but he still underestimated the combat power of the Tang army.

After a desperate battle, the defense line to the west of the encirclement was torn a hole by the Tang army, which was arranged in a formation. The hole became bigger and bigger. Finally, it was like the Yellow River broke through. The Tang army finally broke out. The enemy of Goryeo tried to pursue it, but met two thousand Mo Daomen who left behind the broken rear at the foot of the mountain on the east side of Niushou Mountain.

Two thousand strange swords waved against the dark firelight, and the sword light refracted the firelight, like a sea of ​​fire shining in the night, with murderous aura, blocking the pursuit of the Goryeo enemy.

The famous Mo Daozhe once again proved to the world that he was famous. The pursuit of 100,000 enemy troops was stopped by two thousand people and could not move forward any further.

Niu Jinda was rescued from the encirclement by his generals. The Tang army was defeated like a mountain, and was defeated and fled.

…………

…………

After Niu Jinda's troops broke through, he marched towards Li Shimin's central army.

The incident happened suddenly, and Li Shimin's central army had not yet received any news of its defeat. After dawn, after Li Ji's troops were full of food, they began a new round of siege.

The enemy defending the city was getting tired. Li Ji was a veteran on the battlefield. He had a premonition. If nothing unexpected happened, he could break through Liaodong City before noon today. This strong premonition and joy also spread to the entire siege army. Everyone could see that victory was right in front of him and was within reach.

What made the soldiers of the three armies even more happy was that His Majesty the Emperor issued a military order yesterday. After the army captured Liaodong City, the soldiers who broke through the city could slaughter the city for three days.

Obviously, the enemy's stubborn resistance of the Liaodong City defended the city angered Li Shimin, which gave such a cruel and bloody command.

After the hour of Mao, Li Ji gave his order and his soldiers began to attack the city.

This offensive was unprecedentedly fierce. Except for the thunder, all the methods that could be used were used. With Li Shimin's promise to "mass the city for three days", the soldiers' morale was like rainbows of the city today. Soon, in less than an hour, the enemy guarding the city gradually could not resist it. Several dangerous situations appeared on the city wall on the east side. The soldiers of the Tang army climbed up the city wall several times, and relied on the enemy forces of the Goryeo to kill them desperately, and then they defended the city head again and again.

Li Ji looked at the offense and defense on the city from afar, and his premonition became stronger and stronger. Finally, he drove away the drum-beating soldiers and personally picked up the drumsticks to cheer. When the soldiers under his command saw the coach beat the drums in person, their morale became higher. Not only did they climb to the city, but they also wanted to kill the siege cars. They braved the arrows and boiling oil above their heads, and violently hit the East City Gate. The city gate gradually began to shake, and all the soldiers' eyes lit up.

Victory seems to be in his own hands.

The chain reaction of defeat is terrible. A failure can affect the entire battle situation. Even if the victory is about to be won, it will eventually be lost.

Just as Liaodong City was about to be captured, something happened suddenly.

A group of Goryeo enemy troops suddenly emerged from the mountains south of Liaodong City, rushing towards Li Ji's troops who were sieging the city with flags like mountains collapsed and cracks.

The soldiers of Li Ji, who were concentrating on siege, were confused by the sudden emergence of the enemy. Unpredictable, the enemy had already rushed into the battle formation. The cavalry rushed back and forth for two rounds, and the Tang army formation was immediately destroyed. Then, the siege stopped, and the soldiers retreated, and in a hurry, they shrank into a defensive formation to resist the enemy's offensive.

At the head of the Liaodong city, the Goryeo defenders cheered loudly. At the last moment of the city breaking, reinforcements finally arrived, and the offensive and defensive momentum was completely reversed. This reinforcements saved their dying vitality.

There are not many enemies in this group, but the Chinese characters on the flag clearly write the word "gao". At this time, who else can there be reinforcements outside the Liaodong city besides Gao Huizhen?

Even though Li Ji had been through the battle formation for a long time, he was shocked by the sudden incident. He looked at the enemy troops in front of him in a daze. After a long time, Li Ji, who was pale, looked up to the sky and said angrily: "What is Niu Jinda doing? The old thief is really wrong!"

The siege fighter plane had passed away, and Li Ji, who had recovered his rationality, immediately ordered the entire army to shrink its defense, and 10,000 cavalry in the army divided their troops and surrounded them on the left and right sides. The central army listed shield formations, archers behind them shot archers, and the Modao Camp lined up to press the formation...

A series of military orders were issued, and the soldiers of the Tang army who were initially attacked quickly followed the order. As the neat formation gradually took shape, the turbulent morale gradually stabilized, and the entire army's position also stabilized.

The veteran is a veteran after all. A great defeat that was about to collapse was gradually saved by Li Ji's orderly orders and stood stubbornly outside the Liaodong city.

Seeing that the Tang army was so tenacious, the enemy was so heartbroken. When the army was shaken, the storm-like offensive slowly slowed down. At this time, the cavalry arranged by Li Ji completed the encirclement. The war drums sounded, and the cavalry on both sides of the wings launched a counterattack on the enemy outside the city at the same time. Gao Huizhen's troops were shocked and hurried back to the army to enter the city. The city gate suddenly closed, and the calm outside the city was restored, leaving only the wounded soldiers on both sides of the enemy and us groaning and wailing.

After turning the tide, Li Ji's face was not at all happy, but turned his head to look at Niushou Mountain, thinking about something with a worried look.

Gao Huizhen's troops, who should have been completely wiped out by Niu Jinda, appeared outside the Liaodong City and almost defeated the soldiers under Li Ji. So, what happened to Niu Jin when he reached the bottom?

…………

Outside the Liaodong City, Li Ji left 40,000 troops and still surrounded Liaodong City. The remaining nearly 60,000 troops camped on both sides of the north and south to face the direction of Niushou Mountain with a defensive force to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp.

Niu Jinda returned to the camp.

The personal guards under his command tried their best to protect them, but Niu Jinda was still injured. He was carried back by his personal guards. Li Shimin was shocked after hearing the news and went to the gate of the camp to greet him.

In this battle, Niu Jinda was shot in an arrow on his left leg and back, and the blood flowed continuously, and the man fell into a semi-coma. When he was carried back to the camp, Niu Jinda tried hard to cheer up. Looking at Li Shimin's anxious face, Niu Jinda stammered his lips a few times, and finally shed tears, and said weakly, "I deserve to die for all my crimes", and then fell into a coma again.

A big defeat happened quietly.

After the war, the defeated troops were gathered and the losses were counted. Niu Jinda's troops were buried, with more than 20,000 casualties. What is even more uncomfortable is that the army was in a hurry to break through, and the injured soldiers were not cared about, so they could only let them fall into the hands of the enemy. However, their fate was almost unsurprising. Therefore, the so-called "more than 20,000 casualties" should actually be said to be "more than 20,000 casualties" in other words, "more than 20,000 casualties".

The casualties of Li Ji's troops were not very large. At the critical moment of defeat, Li Ji stabilized his position. The total casualties between the front and rear were less than 5,000, which was barely good news.

In the tent of the Central Army Commander, Li Shimin was stunned. He seemed to have been twenty years old. His eyes were dull and his body bent down unknowingly.
