Bring Hokage to Datang

In the dark night, there were stars, and under the night, a huge military camp was located around this barren mountain.

Li Chengming was sitting in the handsome tent, with his legs crossed and his eyes slightly closed, as if he was practicing.

"Report" At this time, a voice came from outside the tent.

Li Chengming opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of light deep in his pupils. He calmed down, and then said, "Come in."

"I will see you at last, Your Highness." After the words fell, Luo Ning walked in from outside and knelt down directly to greet him.

"What's the matter?" Li Chengming asked directly without any nonsense.

"Your Highness, the rebels in Chang'an appeared ten miles away, with about a thousand riders." Luo Ning clasped his fists and said respectfully, "According to His Highness's instructions, the general has ambushed two thousand riders there, killing them. We captured more than cavalry and captured more than cavalry, but some people took advantage of the chaos to escape. The general is not doing well, please punish him."

Hearing Luo Ning's return, Li Chengming's eyes flickered. In fact, he was not too disappointed. After all, he didn't have many expectations for his group of people from the beginning.

Otherwise, with the opportunity to ambush in advance and two thousand riders at hand, not all of them were left behind, but more than a hundred people were allowed to run away. This alone would have been enough to cure Luo Ning. light crime.

However, as mentioned before, he also knew that although these soldiers under his command looked good, there was still a certain gap between them and the elite soldiers sent by Li Shimin.

This gap, if we use an analogy, is just like the difference between modern ordinary police and special police, so Li Chengming does not have high expectations for them.

The reason why he asked Luo Ning to lead his army to ambush was because the day before yesterday, when he heard about Li Shimin's arrangements, he had heard that Li Shimin asked Li Mengchang to arrange a thousand Qingqi scouts to investigate the military situation, so Li Chengming casually asked Luo Ning to ambush. I would rather lie in wait ten miles away.

"Two thousand cavalry can't keep a thousand cavalry. Remember the twenty army sticks first. After taking Chang'an, you can go and receive the punishment yourself." Although I don't have high expectations for these people, I can't just let it go. So Li Chengming directly asked him to wait until he captured Chang'an before receiving the penalty.

Although twenty military sticks seem to be very few, military sticks are not like hitting people with a plank like a yamen. What's more, a plank like that in a yamen can kill someone, let alone a military stick.

However, the executor of this military stick is also a human being after all, and he will be gentle and heavy in his actions. As Luo Ning is, these twenty military sticks can only make him lie in bed for half a month at most.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Although Luo Ning was punished, Luo Ning did not show any dissatisfaction, but respectfully accepted the punishment with clasped fists.

"Well, go down and disperse the scouts. This place is only thirty miles away from Chang'an. Don't wait until the enemy touches you and you don't know." Li Chengming ordered again.

Although he had heard about Li Shimin's plan before, things were changing rapidly on the battlefield. Who said that Li Shimin made a plan yesterday and could not change it today?

"Yes, Your Highness, I will retire at the end of the day."

Seeing Luo Ning retreat, Li Chengming's eyes flickered, then he stood up and walked back to the lounge behind the handsome tent.

The incident just now was just an interlude for Li Chengming. It was a random arrangement he made after hearing the plans of Li Shimin and others. For Li Shimin, the cavalry is just a drop in the bucket, and even if it fails, it doesn't matter. The reason is the same as above. There is no difference in Li Chengming's opinion between hundreds of thousands of troops, one thousand more and one thousand less.

In fact, he also knew that this time was just a small test by Li Shimin, and the purpose should be to test why he dared to lead his army to attack Chang'an.

Although Li Shimin was ruthless and ruthless, he was also very thoughtful, otherwise he would not have established Baiqi early and placed them among the troops in various states.

Of course, it was precisely because of his cautious attitude that he thought Li Chengming had someone to rely on, so he came up with the idea to test Li Chengming's strength.

However, Li Shimin never imagined that Li Chengming's military strength was actually a miscellaneous army of less than that Baiqi had discovered, but his real trump card would not be revealed until outside Chang'an City.

So, even if you let him test it, so what?

Li Chengming has already planned everything. He will be defeated in one battle. No matter how many tricks he makes, I will suppress them with all my strength.

The night passed quickly, and soon the third watch came. Thousands of military cooks in the military camp began to wash rice, wash vegetables, and light fires to make meals. At the fourth watch, the soldiers who had been sleeping got up and started eating. We started to pack up the camp, and at the fifth watch, when everyone had packed up, we broke camp and set off.

The army set off, because it was still dark, so the army sergeants held torches and marched forward. The land stretched for more than ten miles. From a distance, it looked like a flaming dragon, which was extremely spectacular.

Li Chengming sat cross-legged on Zhu Ganghye's head and slowly advanced towards the center of the army. In addition to his personal guards, which had expanded to , he was also followed by two generals, Luo Ning and Xue Wanche, and Three thousand light cavalry.

As the person with the highest status in this army, he should naturally enjoy the highest treatment and the strictest protection.

Although, in his opinion, this kind of protection is simply dispensable to him.

Thirty miles is neither long nor short. After Li Chengming led tens of thousands of soldiers forward for more than an hour, he finally saw the majestic Chang'an.

At this time, not long after the sun had just risen in the sky, the entire Chang'an was shrouded in golden sunlight, like a giant city made of gold.

However, the walls of this giant city that seemed to be made of gold were already covered with dense guards. All of these people were wearing armor, holding spears, or holding bows and arrows, as if they were guarding the golden city. Like a heavenly soldier, he is mighty and mighty.

Li Chengming led his army to a stop five miles away from Chang'an, and then Xue Wanche and Luo Ning began to arrange their troops according to Li Chengming's previous order. One thousand cavalry and infantry formed a square formation, forming three in total. The square formation corresponds to the three city gates of Anhua, Mingde and Qixia.

However, just as they were arranging their troops, they suddenly saw the Mingde Gate in the middle open, and then a group of thousands of light cavalry rushed towards them. They did not stop until they were about two miles away from Li Chengming's formation. , and then dozens of them rushed hundreds of meters away, and then shouted towards the military formation, "The traitor Li Chengming, do you dare to come forward and fight with a certain family?"
