A thousand-year-old family begins with one fighting against ten thousand.

At noon, on the official road from Zhuque Avenue to the East Gate, 100,000 elite cavalrymen stood in an iron formation, quietly waiting for Li Shimin to give orders.

Li Shimin was dressed in a bright armor, with beast-shaped shoulder guards, and a three-foot-long Ding Tang sword hanging at his waist. His white-hoofed horse, Wu, was exceptionally swift, and its mane was fluttering in the morning breeze.

Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Zhijie, Hou Junji, Li Ji, and other founding generals stood on either side of Li Shimin, clad in armor and armed. The cold gleam of their armor reflected the rising sun, their killing intent solidifying into a tangible force.

Li Jing was left in the city to command the 20 troops there to defend against the Xia army's attack.

In particular, they had to withstand the desperate counterattack of the Xia army after Li Shimin and his men returned.

On the other side, Li Shimin's ten victories and ten defeats were still ringing in their ears. The 10 soldiers had long since lost their fear of the enemy. Everyone's eyes were filled with fierce light, and they gripped their spears tightly, exuding the same murderous aura.

Li Shimin glanced at his 100,000-strong army and roared, "Wherever our banners go, we are invincible! Ten victories are with us! We will crush the enemy camp!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled on the reins, and the white horse under his feet reared up, letting out a long neigh as it broke through the morning mist.

Li Shimin charged ahead, brandishing his sword and pointing it straight at the east gate: "Black-armored cavalry, follow me to break through the enemy lines!"

Li Shimin spurred his horse, and the white horse galloped out of the city gate like an arrow, followed closely by numerous generals and 100,000 elite cavalry, rushing out of the east gate of Chang'an like a torrent.

At this time, fierce fighting was taking place at the south gate of Chang'an City.

The army of one million men was like an endless wave crashing against the walls of Chang'an.

Li Jing was in charge of command, and command seemed to become an art in his hands, with all kinds of movements flowing smoothly and naturally.

He could even predict which places would be attacked and send people to defend them in advance. This is what is meant by being a master strategist.

At this time, Li Jing devoted two-tenths of his energy to directing the battle, while the remaining eight-tenths of his energy was spent worrying about Li Shimin.

If Li Shimin's side suffers a defeat, no matter how well he fights on his side, it will be of no use.

With morale fluctuating, Chang'an cannot hold out for long!

He will have to use the city's garrison to go out and rescue them.

If things go smoothly for Li Shimin, he is even prepared to open the city gates, send out a large army to attack, expand the gains, and further demoralize the enemy.

Xia Ping's scouts at the east gate were terrified when they saw a large army rushing out. Their midday drowsiness vanished instantly, and they leaped onto their horses and galloped away.

By the time Xia Ping received the news, it was too late. Since they were both cavalry, the arrival of the scouts meant that Li Shimin's army had arrived!

Chaotic shouts erupted on the flank of the army, and Li Shimin's 100,000 elite cavalry, like a sharp blade, pierced through the belly of the Xia army, a long snake.

Xia Jun's reaction was exactly as Li Shimin had predicted. No matter how bold Xia Ping was, he never doubted that the Tang army would launch a sneak attack.

Is this really something a human could do? Facing an army of 150 million, even the most audacious person would be terrified.

What immense courage it takes to lead an army of 10 in a counterattack?!

Xia Ping, in particular, could sense the fighting spirit of these 100,000 troops. One person might be fearless, but 100,000 people would never be!

Xia Ping racked his brains but still couldn't figure out how Li Shimin had done it!

Perhaps this is the personal charm of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, the strongest carbon-based life form on Earth in this era, the only general in history, who had the advantage of 3,000 against 100,000 at Hulao Pass, who destroyed three kings with one plan, who was granted the title of "Heavenly Khan" at the age of 23, who was recognized by all ethnic groups as the "Heavenly Khan", who had the appearance of a dragon and phoenix and the countenance of the sun and the moon!

On the flank of the Xia army, Li Shimin took the lead, his Ding Tang sword flashing left and right, each strike bringing blood with it, and those who stood in his way were defeated.

Beside him, fierce generals such as Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong displayed their divine might, sweeping away enemy soldiers in droves with their iron spears, and smashing enemy generals with their golden maces, breaking their bones and tendons. The Tang army's iron cavalry moved as if they were in an empty field, tearing a bloody path several miles wide on the flank of a million-strong enemy formation.

Li Shimin wiped his blood-stained face with his blood-stained hands, looked around at their battle results, and then looked in the direction of the Xia army's command flag.

The advantage is in my hands!

We should press our advantage and pursue the fleeing enemy; we must not seek fame like Xiang Yu!

While you are sick, I will kill you!

Li Shimin made a last-minute decision to change the plan and launch a surprise attack on the enemy's command camp!

All the soldiers were focused on following Li Shimin's charge, and the army had no sense of direction. Seeing Li Shimin charging in this direction, they followed suit.

Xia Ping was also a veteran general with rich experience. He immediately realized the Tang army's objective and broke through their million-strong army's ranks, greatly damaging their morale.

Xia Ping also made minor adjustments in various places, concentrating his troops on the battle line that the Tang army was preparing to take, and laid out a full 100 battle lines, which was enough to stop the cavalry's charge. Once the cavalry's charge was stopped, the 100,000-strong army led by Li Shimin would only have one outcome: to perish here.

Wait, something's not right!

The Tang army's direction of attack has changed!

On the command post, Xia Ping's eyes widened as he discovered that the Tang army had broken away from the defensive line he had set up and changed direction!

Could it be that the other side discovered his plan?!

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

He was always on the battlefield, how could he possibly have a comprehensive view of the overall situation?

Given his location, there was absolutely no way he could have noticed!

Is that just a coincidence?

Xia Ping squinted at the direction Li Shimin was heading.

Holy crap!

Xia Ping couldn't help but swear; Li Shimin's advance was aimed at him!

Li Shimin, that audacious man, not only led 10 troops to attack his 100 million-strong army, but also wanted to behead him, the commander-in-chief?!

That's incredibly audacious!

Furthermore, it was this courage that allowed Li Shimin to bypass the layers of defenses set up by Xia Ping.

The army of one million men was already spread out in a long formation, and Li Shimin's attack threw the front, middle and rear camps into chaos.

He managed to mobilize hundreds of troops and organize 100 lines of defense using subtle adjustments, preparing to intercept Li Shimin layer by layer.

Once Li Shimin crashes in, he will definitely not be able to escape.

But Li Shimin avoided it!

He cleverly avoided it!

It was precisely because Li Shimin was greedy for merit and reckless, and audacious enough, that he avoided it!

No wonder even a veteran like Xia Ping couldn't help but curse. Does this world really have any logic?

Reality is indeed a terrible game, with not only huge bugs like the Wei family, but also minor bugs like Emperor Guangwu of Han, Li Shimin.

Does good luck mean you can do whatever you want? Isn't anyone going to punish you?

Li Shimin showed him with facts that good luck meant he could do whatever he wanted and no one would punish him.

Li Shimin's sudden inspiration allowed him to avoid the trap set by Xia Ping.

With Li Shimin disrupting his plans once again, it was difficult for Xia Ping to set up another defensive line in a very short time.

Especially since Li Shimin is about to attack!
