Attack Chang 'an or Not
The 7,000 white-robed soldiers swept through the 1,000 black-armored soldiers with ease.
Even though they had the advantage in numbers and timing.
However, anyone could see the terrifying combat power of the white-robed army.
A breeze blew, and a strong smell of blood assailed his nostrils.
Looking at the messy battlefield and the corpses on the ground, Feng Li and Xue Wanche looked at each other and saw the strong surprise in each other's eyes.
They had been in despair after the Crown Prince and King Qi were killed by Li Shiming.
Li Chengdao had stood out at the final juncture and became their backbone. Moreover, he had displayed powerful martial strength and tenacious and decisive methods, which made them admire him from the bottom of their hearts.
However, just like what Zhangsun Wuji had said to Li Shimin, even if Li Chengdao was righteous and was Li Jiancheng's legitimate son, he would still be able to do so.
However, he only had four hundred or so of the Crown Prince's guards, so it was difficult for him to cause any trouble.
The 7,000 white-robed soldiers that descended like divine weapons had completely injected a dose of stimulant into their hearts.
The battle between the White Robe Army and the Black Armored Army shocked Feng Li, Xue Wanche, and the remaining 400 Crown Prince Guards.
He was also glad that such a terrifying cavalry was on his side.
"Clean up the battlefield and take back all the living horses and the armor and weapons of the Black Armored Army.”
After the battle, Li Chengdao issued another military order.
Although the Black Armored Army had been completely defeated, their warhorses, armors, and weapons were precious treasures that Li Shiming had spent a lot of money to forge.
If he were to throw it on the ground, it would be a waste.
When the white-robed soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, Feng Li came back to his senses and asked respectfully,"
"Your Highness, where are we going next?”
Now, they had already fled more than ten miles away from Chang 'an, and the black-armored soldiers behind them had been slaughtered.
There was no big danger for the time being, but where they would go after leaving Chang 'an depended on Li Chengdao's choice.
Li Chengdao lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Then, he slowly said,
"Just now in the Heavenly Policy Prefecture, there was a great disparity in strength. This Prince had no choice but to use the family of the traitor Li Shimin to escape from Chang 'an.
I have 7,000 soldiers in white robes. General Feng, General Xue, what do you think the chances are of me killing Li Shimin when I return to Chang 'an?"”
Under the circumstances, Li Chengdao had no choice but to escape.
But now that he had a strong army, he just wanted to kill Li Shiming immediately.
When Feng Li and Xue Wanche heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
Xue Wanche, who had played an important role in the war between the Eastern Turks and Xue Yantuo, immediately replied,
"Your Highness, when Li Shi Min launched the mutiny, he had already taken control of the Imperial City.
Now, the entire Chang 'an Fortress was probably under his control.
Although we have 7,000 white-robed soldiers who are brave and skilled in battle, no matter how brave they are, they are still cavalry.
Chang 'an was also one of the few majestic cities in the world, and it was exceptionally difficult to attack.
Forgive me for being blunt, but it is almost impossible for the 7,000 cavalrymen to take Chang 'an.”
Li Chengdao silently mulled over Xue Wanche's words.
The general in front of him was undoubtedly a master of military strategy.
Even in the vast galaxy of history, he was a brilliant general star.
Xue Wanche was praised by Li Shimin in history as "the only famous generals of today are Li Ji, Jiang Xia Wang Daozong, and Wan Che."
Who was Li Ji? That was the Great Tang War God.
Therefore, even though he was eager to return to Chang 'an and cut off Li Shiming's head once and for all.
But Li Chengdao still seriously considered Xue Wanche's analysis.
Normally, a siege would require three to four times the enemy's strength to take down.
The role that cavalry could play in a siege was too small.
It was too difficult for a mere 7,000 cavalrymen to take down Chang 'an.
Just as Li Chengdao was pondering, a system notification echoed in his mind.
"Congratulations to the host for triggering the mission option!”
"Option 1: Capture Chang 'an. Reward: Five Tiger Generals (Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong)"
" Option 2: Go to Kaifeng and obtain the support of the Zheng family of Xingyang. Reward: 30 cubic meters of storage space.”
Cavalry attacking a city was extremely difficult.
Combining Xue Wanche's analysis and his own understanding, as well as the system option mission that suddenly popped up.
In the end, Li Chengdao made a decision. He silently said in his heart that he would choose the second mission.
He then nodded to Xue Wanche and said,""General Xue is right. Cavalry attacking a city is indeed a joke, let alone attacking Chang 'an.
We don't have any food supplies on hand now. If we attack Chang 'an rashly, it will be a narrow escape.”
Li Chengdao didn't insist on his own way, but listened to Xue Wanche's suggestion. Xue Wanche was overjoyed and quickly continued,
"Your Highness, the most important thing now is to gather the Crown Prince's old subordinates and strengthen our own strength.
I believe that with the support of the Zheng family of Xingyang, Your Highness 'army will grow rapidly.”
Li Chengdao laughed and said," General Xue and I have the same idea. Let's go to Xingyang.”
The Zheng family of Xingyang was a super family that had not fallen for thousands of years. Their ancestral land was located in Kaifeng County, Xingyang County.
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, they were called four names together with the Lu family of Fanyang, the Cui family of Qinghe and the Wang family of Taiyuan.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Li family of Longxi rose to prominence, and there were five surnames and seven Wangs.
This family had ten prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty alone.
His reputation and influence naturally went without saying.
Even the current emperor would not offend such a colossus.
Li Chengdao's mother, Zheng Guanyin, was also the Crown Princess of Crown Prince Li Jiancheng. She was a direct descendant of the Zheng family of Xingyang.
If he could get the support of the Zheng family of Xingyang, Li Chengdao would have the capital to clean up the mess.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 2*3*5m, a total of 30m3 of storage space.”
"The host can freely store and withdraw items from the storage space.”
"Note: The storage space cannot store living things.”
The reward for option two was almost instantly transferred to his account.
Before Li Chengdao could start studying the storage space, Feng Li's voice sounded again,"
"Your Highness, how should we deal with the wife and children of the traitor Li Shi Min?”
