Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2708 Li Shimin Launches Attack, Black Armored Soldiers Clash with Trapped Formations

"Report! The water gate has fallen!" A soldier's panicked voice rang out beside Li Shimin.

In the darkness of night, apart from a few generals who were nearby, those who were a little further away could not see Li Shimin's expression at this moment.

However, it probably won't look good.

"With the power of Zhishi Sili and Qibi Heli, summon the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry!"

"No, immediately summon the entire army, open the city gates, and prepare for a counter-charge!" Li Shimin said resolutely after a moment.

If a city gate falls, the enemy can continuously send troops through that gap. As a result, their defensive advantage will gradually diminish, while the enemy's numerical advantage will gradually emerge.

Therefore, when there is a significant disparity in troop strength, and when any group of city gates falls, it is essentially equivalent to the city having already fallen.

The ensuing street fighting was essentially just a means to deplete the enemy's forces!

However, the strongest force among Li Shimin's troops was the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry. The three thousand Xuanjia Iron Cavalry in the city were stronger than the rest of the troops combined.

Using Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to fight in street battles?
Li Shimin wasn't that crazy!

Therefore, for Li Shimin, there was only one way left at this point: open the city gates, launch a counterattack, catch the enemy off guard, and then break through and leave.

Next, all we can do is defend the domestic territory and the two cities of Wandu to the death.

"Your Majesty, should we... take care of the grain supplies in the city?" Gao Lianghui, a civil official, stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

After all, there was still nearly a month's worth of food supplies in the city. Normally, in this situation, the food supplies would be burned so that not a single grain of rice would be left for the enemy.

"No need. For the past two years, I have always felt guilty towards the people of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Let's leave this grain to the people in the city!" After a moment, Li Shimin finally shook his head and said.

The small amount of grain in the city was very important to the Li Tang dynasty, but it was insignificant to the Great Jin dynasty.

Leaving behind this small amount of supplies will actually have little impact on the overall battle situation.

Moreover, Li Shimin did not leave these provisions to the enemy, but to the people.

As he said, he felt guilty towards the people of the Tang Dynasty over the past two years.

"Ding! When Li Shimin's Tian Ce skill is activated, his leadership increases by 3 when commanding troops in battle, and by an additional 1 when fighting against overwhelming odds. Furthermore, when the difference in troop strength between the two sides reaches five times, his leadership increases by another 1."

The current troop strength difference between the two sides has widened to five times. Li Shimin's command strength has increased by 1, bringing his current command strength to 108.

Moreover, the difference in troop strength between the two sides was indeed not five times, but with the complete annihilation of the last remaining naval force of the Li Tang dynasty, the difference in troop strength between the two sides officially widened to more than five times.

At this time, Li Shimin's leadership value also rose to a terrifying 108 points.

"Ding! Li Shimin's Zhenguan skill effect 2 has been activated. If he is personally on the battlefield, the command of all generals under his command will increase by 1, the strength of the entire army will increase by 1, and the overall quality of the entire army will be greatly improved. When in a predicament, this effect will be doubled."

Currently, Li Shimin's entire army has a +2 attack power, Li Yuanba's attack power has a +2 attack power, base attack power is 110, equipment has a +2, and current attack power has increased to 114.

Wang Jin's martial prowess increased by 2, his base martial prowess was 105, and with equipment upgrades, his current martial prowess increased to 109.

Wang Yin's martial prowess increases by 2, base martial prowess is 105, equipment increases by 2, and current martial prowess rises to 109.

Du Jiaosi's martial prowess increases by 2, base martial prowess is 108 (+1), equipment increases by 2, and current martial prowess increases to 112.

Yamata Orochi's martial prowess increased by 2, and his current martial prowess has risen to...

"..." "Ding, Li Shimin's Tian Ce skill effect three activated. When facing a superior enemy force, the effects of all friendly forces' army-wide skills are doubled. If none of your forces' army-wide skills are active, you can copy one of the enemy's army-wide skills. It can only be doubled on the original basis, not doubled on top of the already doubled effect."

Li Yuanba's martial prowess increases by 1, bringing his current martial prowess to 115.

Wang Jin's martial prowess increases by 1, bringing his current martial prowess to 110.

............"

"Ding! Li Shimin's Tian Ce skill effect two has been activated. He is immune to any negative skill effects and can provide a certain degree of protection to the entire army, protecting all his troops from half of the negative skill effects."

With a creak, the city gate, which had been sealed for more than a month, suddenly burst open. The Jin soldiers, who were still desperately ramming the gate, were stunned for a moment when they saw the gate suddenly open.

The next moment, everyone rushed to get into the city.

Throughout history, siege warfare has been a meat grinder, but precisely because of the heavy losses, once the city falls into ruin, many generals will turn a blind eye to the behavior of some soldiers.

Some particularly ruthless generals, in order to bankrupt the city, would even issue orders to loot it.

However, just as they were scrambling to rush into the city gate, the dull sound of horses' hooves suddenly rang out, and the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, like steel monsters, charged out from the already open city gate.

The Jin soldiers at the forefront were sent flying like light, floating leaves.

Some of the soldiers who were knocked to the ground were trampled into a bloody pulp.

Let alone facing heavy cavalry, even when facing cavalry, one must form a complete and tight infantry formation before engaging in combat.

But what is the state of the soldiers who are attacking the city?
This is precisely why, in siege warfare, the most feared situation is being ambushed by enemy cavalry while the siege is underway.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the charge of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry had already caused huge casualties to the soldiers of the Great Jin.

The other Li Tang soldiers who charged out after the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry took the opportunity to kill the Jin soldiers who were being slaughtered and torn apart.

Li Shimin ignored the Jin soldiers who had been scattered by the charge, and even ignored the Tang infantry behind them.

Instead of stopping, he led his Xuanjia Iron Cavalry and charged directly towards Li Mu's central command system without looking back.

"Xing Tian, ​​Gao Shun, Gao Chong, Zhao Gongming, lead the Trapped Camp to protect the central command tent!" At this moment, Li Mu, the commander of the central command, had a hint of grief in his eyes.

He was well aware that heavy casualties were about to follow.

The central army at the rear, unlike the attacking forces at the front, did not have a basic formation.

Therefore, it is impossible for it to be torn to pieces by a mere surge.

However, as the main force of the Li Tang dynasty, their combat power should not be underestimated; ordinary troops would absolutely not be able to stop them.

That's why Li Mu didn't send the Trapped Camp to block them. It wasn't that the Trapped Camp couldn't stop them, but that the enemy simply wouldn't charge into the Trapped Camp.

If he had simply deployed the elite troops, Li Shimin, being no child, would have easily changed direction and attacked elsewhere!
After all, can the Trapped Camp compare to the Black Armored Cavalry in terms of movement speed?
If the Trapped Camp moves even slightly during this time, their originally tight formation will inevitably fall into disarray, which would directly give the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry an opportunity.

Even the elite Trapped Camp, if it wanted to hold off the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, still needed to form a tight formation, not just rush in haphazardly. If the formation broke apart due to movement, wouldn't they just become easy prey?

Otherwise, why would cavalry have a natural advantage over infantry?
Heavy infantry can indeed contend with cavalry to some extent, but only to some extent. As long as a normal cavalry commander doesn't make a foolish mistake, what kind of infantry can do against them?
If the Trapped Camp suffered heavy losses for this reason, that would be an unbearable pain.

Therefore, Li Mu's task for Gao Shun was to have him guard the central command tent.

In this way, no matter how Li Shimin charged, he had no chance to bypass the Trapped Camp and directly attack his central command system.

If the commander-in-chief is not beheaded, then Li Shimin has no chance to turn the tide today!
