In 620, on the eve of the Qin king Li Shimin attacking Dou Jiande, he personally led 5 people to investigate the enemy situation, and it was discovered that Li Shimin actually shouted "I am Li Shimin, the king of Qin", afraid that others would not know him, and as a result, five or six thousand people ran after them, but they could chase after them, and there was a bang, and five or six thousand people were tragic on the spot!
At that time, Li Shimin was leading an army to besiege Wang Shichong in Luoyang, and Wang Shichong knew that he was invincible, so he promised benefits and asked Dou Jiande to rescue him.
Therefore, at that time, the deployment of the Tang army was to divide the troops into two roads, one way to besiege Luoyang, cut off all external links between Luoyang City, and the other way to enter Hu prison pass, which was a strategic passage for Dou Jiande to rescue Wang Shichong.
However, Dou Jiande's people were numerous and powerful, and they were already in the tiger prison, and seeing this scene, Li Shimin decided to personally go to Dou Jiande's camp to explore the truth and engage in reconnaissance.
The King of Qin personally went to investigate the enemy situation, which was not a big deal, after all, he often did so.
The point is, Brother Shimin only took five people with him this time!
Such a few people would dare to run to the territory of Dou Jiande's army and swing around, is this not death?
Sure enough, Li Shimin's reconnaissance squad was found by Dou Jiande's mobile sentries three miles from Dou Jiande's camp.
It is reasonable to say that in this situation, a reasonable way is to run away as soon as the enemy's large troops do not know it.
But at this moment, Li Shimin suddenly ripped open his throat and shouted, "I am Li Shimin, the King of Qin!"!
Crazy, the King of Qin must be crazy!
At this time, being on the territory of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, His Highness the King of Qin not only did not act in a low-key manner, whispered, and sneezed.
He actually made a loud noise and reported himself to the door, afraid that others would not know that he was the commander of the Tang Army, and if this was served by the enemy army, wouldn't the Tang Army be leaderless and then suffer a great rout?
At this moment, Dou Jiande's soldiers boiled over, because as long as they captured Li Shimin, they could be promoted to a higher rank and get rich, and soared!
So Dou Jiande's camp passed ten or ten hundred, and everyone rushed to arrest Li Shimin, and then five or six thousand cavalry went out and rushed to Li Shimin's five-man squad all over the mountains.
Brother Shimin was worthy of being experienced in hundreds of battles, and not only did he not have a hint of panic, but he said to Wei Chigong: I take a bow and arrow, and you hold a horse and a mallet in your hand, so the two of you are traveling together, although a million people can help me?
Then, it was time to verify this bold remark, And Li Shimin said to the other three: You go first, me and Wei Chi Jingde!
As a brave and fierce man, when going deep into the enemy camp to conduct reconnaissance, Li Shimin must take him with him.
Immediately, Li Shimin picked up his bow and arrow, mounted the arrow, and shot at the enemy soldiers, and the enemy cavalry that rushed forward first was shot off his horse on the spot by an arrow!
Then several cavalrymen who ran over died in response to the call, and Brother Shimin's archery skills were really not covered, it was simply a hundred shots.
But Dou Jiande's soldiers were stunned for a moment, suddenly woke up, and then rushed up, no matter how good your arrow technique is, you can't shoot so many people at the same time.
Seeing that dozens of cavalry were about to rush to Li Shimin, he saw Wei Chigong rise up on the spot and rush up with his horse and mallet.
After a while, more than a dozen enemy soldiers were picked up under their horses, and some of the rest were shot dead by Li Shimin on the spot.
The two cooperated in this way, and fought and retreated. Because the duo was too capable of fighting, the enemy did not dare to get too close, so they had to follow all the way and look for fighters to take it in one fell swoop.
After running all the way for a long distance, Dou Jiande's cavalry team suddenly sounded around it!
Immediately afterward, Li Shixun, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and other fierce men led ambush troops to kill from the side of the road, and the unprepared Xia army was suddenly in chaos, and in a panic, it was beaten around by five hundred Tang troops and fled in the wilderness.
The enemy's five or six thousand cavalry lost their armor, killed three hundred people, and two officers were captured, and the Tang army won a complete victory!
It turned out that this was Li Shimin's strategy - to ambush Dou Jiande's troops.
Because Dou Jiande was huge and there were many people, In order to boost the morale of the Tang army, Li Shimin gave Dou Jiande a dismount and decided to beat him.
First lead Dou Jiande's army out, and then ambush halfway, in order to ensure that he can smoothly attract a sufficient number of enemy troops, Li Shimin did not hesitate to use himself as bait to attract the enemy troops!
The names of Li Shimin, King Qin, and Commander of the Tang Army were really easy to use, and as soon as they exited, they attracted nearly 6,000 cavalry to pursue and kill.
As a result, halfway down the road, he was beaten by five hundred Tang troops and captured two officers.
After that, Li Shimin sent a letter to Dou Jiande, the first half of which probably means that for the sake of you returning the captured king and princess of Huai'an, I didn't want to trouble you, but you actually listened to Wang Shichong's rhetoric and ran to support Luoyang, so I couldn't help but say hello to you!
The second half of the paragraph means that the reason why I did not take further military action is that I hope that you will obey well, otherwise there will be no regrets!
After Dou Jiande read this letter, he stomped his feet in anger!
Yan Guo said
Chairman Mao once said that since ancient times, there has been no one who has been on the right side of Li Shimin, followed by Zhu Yuanzhang'er. This gave Li Shimin a very high evaluation of his military ability.
Li Shimin dared to take risks with his own body, using himself as bait to attract the enemy army, and his courage was extraordinary.
The Tang Dynasty divided the world into two major battlefields, the north and the south, Li Shimin was the supreme commander of the northern theater, and Li Xiaogong was the supreme commander of the Tang army in the south, but he was assisted by Li Jing.
In the process of unifying the north, although Li Shimin was present, the actual military strategy and tactics were mostly Li Shimin's ideas.
In large-scale battles such as the Tang Dynasty's attack on Liu Wuzhou, the annihilation of Wang Shichong, dou Jiande's combined forces, and the annihilation of Liu Heimin, Li Shimin showed extremely high military attainments, so that these current tyrants were not his opponents.
Not only that, in many battles, Li Shimin often led dozens of cavalry, and dared to rush into the enemy's large formation, rushing left and right, resulting in chaos in the enemy's formation, and then being defeated by the Tang army in one fell swoop.
His archery skills are very good, almost a hundred shots, in the history books have been recorded many times, Li Shimin Zhang bowed and arrowed, the enemy army fell in response, and later during the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin also shot Li Jiancheng with superb archery.
Before seeing a very hot question and answer, asking who among the ancient emperors, who had the highest martial arts, there were many answers that Zhao Kuangyin.
But I think that if the force value is said, it is difficult to say who Li Shimin and Zhao Kuangyin are strong, but in terms of archery level, Li Shimin is much stronger.
