On the city tower, Liu Heita paid attention to the situation outside the city, and also paid attention to the situation inside the city. When Liu Heita saw more and more enemies approaching the city gate, the expression on his face became extremely gloomy.
Failed!
Wang Xiaohu's attack actually failed!
Especially after Wang Xiaohu's attack failed, the Tang army that came from inside the city was already close to the city gate of the south city.
It was already hard to stop.
"My king, the Tang army has broken through the south gate and is already unstoppable. Retreat, let's retreat now and leave Mingshui County. If we continue to stay now, once Li Jiancheng's army comes, we will not be able to stop it. "
Beside Liu Heita, Prime Minister Zhu Zhou suggested.
Zhu Zhou was originally Liu Heita's military advisor, responsible for planning for Liu Heita, and was also the person who formulated the policy. It could be said that Liu Heita could be where he was today because of Zhu Zhou.
When Liu Heita founded the country, he appointed Zhu Zhou as Prime Minister.
Hearing this, Liu Heita sighed.
Zhu Zhou continued, "My king, the army coming from inside the city, looking at their equipment and formation, is obviously the Black Armor Elite Cavalry under Li Shimin. Such an army, even if there are only a thousand people, is unstoppable. Now, we can't hold on anymore, we can only retreat. If we don't retreat now, the consequences will be worrying. "
"Retreat!"
Liu Heita directly ordered.
He was not an indecisive person. If they retreated now, there would be no impact.
Moreover, retreating may not mean defeat.
Following Liu Heita's order, he led the army not down the city tower, but along the city tower, going straight to the east city, directly abandoning the south city.
At the same time, Mordor had led the army to break through the south gate. When the south gate was opened, the Tang army inside and outside the city quickly gathered and directly occupied the south city.
Li Shimin also entered the city surrounded by soldiers. The moment he entered the city, Du Qi suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "Qin King is mighty, Qin King is invincible!"
"Qin King is mighty! Qin King is invincible! "
Beside Li Shimin, the generals followed and shouted.
"Qin King is mighty, Qin King is invincible!"
"Qin King is mighty, Qin King is invincible!"
More and more soldiers shouted, their voices went straight to the sky, constantly echoing. Such shouts encouraged Li Shimin's troops. Each and every one of the soldiers was filled with fighting spirit and excitement.
Victory!
They had won!
The shouts of the soldiers continued for a long time, echoing in the air.
During this period of time, everyone who belonged to King Qin's faction felt extremely aggrieved and uncomfortable. They were all holding their breaths. The reason was very simple. Starting from Li Xiaogong, all the generals of King Qin's faction had been defeated and stopped outside Mingshui County. Even Luo Shixin and Yin Kaishan had died here.
Now, this city was finally taken down by Li Shimin himself.
This was to avenge his humiliation.
The shouts immediately spread to the distant mountains outside the city.
Li Jiancheng's face immediately turned ashen when he heard the shouts. "Everyone thought that the Duke of Qin was bound to lose this battle. Qin Wang's defeat also weakened Liu Heita. If we attack Mingshui County again, obtaining victory will be as easy as turning over our hand. But now, he had lost his chance. Bastard, bastard! "
Li Jiancheng was furious.
He didn't feel happy for Li Shimin's victory, because Li Shimin had taken away all the prestige he had wanted.
It was too shocking.
Li Yuanji, Li Shentong, and the others were also silent.
They felt rather helpless.
Even though they had targeted King Qin's faction at every turn, they had still won in the end.
Wei Zheng stood below, shaking his head inwardly.
Before the battle started, Wei Zheng had been worried that things would turn around and that Li Shimin might win. He never thought that something like this would really happen.
Behind him were Li Xiaogong, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji, and the other generals.
These people had all led troops to attack Mingshui County. It wasn't that they couldn't take the city, but that they couldn't execute their strategies and didn't have enough troops. In the end, they could only stop at Mingshui County and become defeated generals.
Li Shimin's victory today allowed them to avenge their humiliation and reinvigorate.
All the worries in their hearts disappeared. Instead, they were incomparably excited.
Li Jiancheng glanced behind him and saw the situation of Li Shimin's generals. His heart was filled with hatred. Li Jiancheng's expression was incomparably cold and solemn. He looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Xuancheng, what do we do next?"
Wei Zheng said in a low voice, "Our top priority is to kill Liu Heita, who is about to escape. Mingshui County can no longer be defended, so Liu Heita will definitely retreat. We can't let the King of Qin take the credit for the surprise attack. "
"Yes, yes!"
Li Jiancheng hurriedly nodded.
He thought for a moment, then ordered, "Order Xue Wanche to lead the troops into battle."
Xue Wanche was Li Jiancheng's trusted aide.
He was also one of Li Jiancheng's most capable generals. In reality, Xue Wanche's qualifications weren't that great. In his early years, he and his brother Xue Wanjun served Luo Yi of Youzhou.
Last year, Li Shentong led his army to fight Liu Heita. Both Li Shentong and Luo Yi were defeated. Luo Yi retreated back to Youzhou, while Li Shentong retreated to the border of Weizhou. At that time, Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, the two brothers, were captured and even humiliated by Liu Heita.
The two brothers were both highly skilled in martial arts. Relying on their martial arts, they escaped from Liu Heita's subordinates. The two didn't return to Youzhou, but went to Chang 'an.
At that time, Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun, the two brothers, had different opinions on who to serve. The elder brother Xue Wanjun believed that Li Shimin was wise and powerful, courageous and resolute, so Xue Wanjun served the King of Qin, Li Shimin.
Xue Wanche, on the other hand, believed that the Crown Prince was Li Jiancheng, so Xue Wanche served Li Jiancheng.
Originally, Li Jiancheng lacked generals under his command.
Especially generals who could fight.
Xue Wanche's submission made Li Jiancheng overjoyed. Therefore, Li Jiancheng thought highly of Xue Wanche, and even regarded him as his trusted aide. He showed kindness to Xue Wanche everywhere, making Xue Wanche serve Li Jiancheng wholeheartedly.
As soon as Xue Wanche received the order, his heart became excited. Originally, he was extremely resentful of Liu Heita, wishing he could kill him. Now that he received the order, he didn't hesitate at all, directly dispatching thirty thousand elite troops, and setting out at top speed.
Li Jiancheng's thoughts turned, and he suddenly said, "Dispatch troops!"
"Present!"
The dispatch troops immediately replied.
Li Jiancheng said again, "Immediately send the order to the King of Qin, have him stop the pursuit, and take down Mingshui County with all his strength."
"Yes!"
The dispatch troops received the order, and quickly went to send the message.
Hearing Li Jiancheng's order, Li Shentong and Li Yuanji also revealed smiles on their faces. They naturally fully supported Li Jiancheng's orders, and the two of them also didn't want Li Shimin to perform any more meritorious deeds.
