In the rebel camp, the shouts of killing were loud, and the camp was in chaos.
Li Xuanba carries a pair of drums, urns and golden hammers in his hand, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, he is invincible wherever he goes.
Yingbu, Yuchigong, Tian Chengsi, Tian Yue, Hua Xiong, Yan Xing and many other powerful generals of the Tang army also galloped wantonly among the rebellious army, waving their weapons in their hands, killing gods and Buddhas, and rushing the rebel army. They were all in pieces, and corpses were scattered all over the place.
"The Tang Dynasty has sent hundreds of thousands of heavenly troops, but those who surrender will not be killed!"
Li Shimin commanded the troops to rush into the camp, lighting tents everywhere to cause fires and creating more panic in the hearts of the rebel soldiers. At the same time, he ordered people to shout everywhere to recruit the rebel soldiers.
The Tang Dynasty used troops abroad for many years, but suffered repeated defeats, and the losses of soldiers were very serious. Excluding the old, weak, women and children who accompanied the rebels, there were at least 60,000 to 70,000 strong men among these rebels. This was a very valuable source of troops, and Li Shimin was naturally reluctant to kill them all.
Under the attack from all sides by the Xuanjia cavalry, the rebel camp became increasingly chaotic. The fire had burned through half of the camp. Flames were rising into the sky, thick smoke was billowing, and the voices of Tang Army soldiers were heard from all directions. Under multiple blows, the resistance of the rebel army was shattered. Their will was completely broken, and countless soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt aside, not daring to make another move even though the Tang Army's cavalry passed by.
"The troops obey the order and whoever captures Huang Chao alive will receive a reward of a thousand taels and be granted the title of Duke of Kaiguo County!"
Li Shimin knew very well that a rebel leader like Huang Chao must not be allowed to escape. On the one hand, the Tang Dynasty needed Huang Chao's head to shock people and scare the monkeys. On the other hand, Huang Chao had already gained considerable reputation among the Guanzhong rebels. Once he was allowed to leave, Take it off, and it doesn't take much time for him to pull out tens of thousands of horses.
"Capture Huang Chao alive! Capture Huang Chao alive!"
Under Li Shimin's generous reward, countless Tang army knights roared and charged towards the Chinese army camp. The tide-like momentum frightened the rebels. The rebels blocking the front had lost the courage to resist and turned and fled.
At the same time, Huang Chao, who had been sleeping in the tent, was awakened by the Tang army's surprise attack. He hurriedly gathered a group of his trusted troops and rushed over against the flow of people.
"Huang Chao is here, Huang Chao is here!"
Huang Chao's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. Many rebel soldiers who had just surrendered or Tang Army knights who recognized Huang Chao shouted loudly, and countless Tang Army soldiers waved their long spears. He galloped away with his war horse.
Upon seeing this, Huang Chao snorted coldly, spurred his horse, raised his spear, and stabbed left and right, killing six or seven Tang army knights.
"Dingdong, it is detected that Huang Chao has entered a fighting state, the force is +3, the base force is 96, and the current force has increased to 99."
"Protect the king!"
"Dingdong, it is detected that Deng Yuanjue enters the state of bravery, force +2, basic force 96, current force increased to 98."
Seeing Huang Chao riding his horse and rushing forward, his confidant Deng Yuanjue also roared. This big man dressed as a monk waved his water-milled Zen staff like a windmill. How could he see the compassion of a monk? The knight of the Tang Army bumped into him head-on. They were all beaten with bloody wounds by him, and their wails filled the land.
Thanks to the bravery of Huang Chao and Deng Yuanjue, the originally defeated rebel army managed to recover somewhat. However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, there were loud shouts of killing from behind. It turned out that it was Chai Rong and Guo Ziyi from Chang'an City who were spying. After understanding the situation, he mobilized elites to kill them without waiting for Li Yuan's order.
Attacked from the front and back by two Tang armies, the rebel army, which had been pretending to be in good condition for a moment, collapsed again. The voice of the Tang army surrendering without killing could be heard throughout the camp. Thousands of rebel soldiers were like obedient sheep and were beaten by the Tang army soldiers. He was driven out wantonly, and he honestly disarmed and knelt on the ground.
Looking at the entire battlefield, only Huang Chao's direct troops were still resisting. Seeing that the situation was over, Huang Chao was filled with anger. He roared and rushed forward, sweeping his spears left and right. The ordinary soldiers of the Tang Army were indeed no match for him, and they were all knocked off their horses by him.
"Generals, don't we have no one in the Tang Dynasty? Let a bandit leader be so arrogant in front of the army!"
Li Shimin couldn't help being furious when he saw this, and immediately used a provoking method towards the generals of the Tang army.
Many generals of the Tang Army became angry when they heard this, and they rushed their horses to kill Huang Chao like the wind.
"Death to the evil thief!"
Yan Xing, the general of the Tang Dynasty, brandished his spear and crossed the crowd and headed straight for Huangchao. Unexpectedly, he was blocked by the rebel general Liu Fangliang halfway.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Yan Xing shouted, raised his spear and stabbed. Liu Fangliang hurriedly raised his sword to parry, but heard a "dang" sound. Yan Xing was so strong that Liu Fangliang was unable to deflect Yan Xing's spear, and was pierced through the chest by one of the spears.
"Dingdong, it was detected that Yan Xing killed Liu Fangliang, and Liu Fangliang's data has been erased from the database."
At the same time when Yan Xing stabbed Liu Fangliang to death, Tang general Hua Xiong brandished a ghost-headed sword and ran rampant among the rebels. He met the rebel general Gao Yigong and fought for more than 20 rounds. Cut Gao Yigong off his horse.

"Dingdong, it was detected that Hua Xiong killed Gao Yigong, and Gao Yigong's data has been erased from the database."
"Xuanba, don't bother fighting, hurry up and deal with that thief chieftain Huang Chao!"
In the chaos of the army, Li Shimin saw that Li Xuanba was only focused on slaughtering the fleeing soldiers, so he immediately shouted at Li Xuanba and pointed out the direction of Huang Chao.
Li Xuanba heard Li Shimin's voice, as if he had received an imperial decree. He nodded and immediately turned around and headed straight for Huang Chao. His two sledgehammers danced left and right, clearing the way. The rebels blocking the way were like harvesting. Fall down.
"Your Majesty, this little monk is here to help you!"
Seeing that Li Xuanba arrived quickly, Deng Yuanjue rushed to Huang Chao's side.
Huang Chao nodded upon seeing this. He had also heard of Li Xuanba's reputation. If he were to fight alone, no one here would be his opponent. If the two of them worked together, there might still be a chance of survival.
"kill!"
The two of them roared together and rushed towards Li Xuanba, one from the left and the other from the right.
Li Xuanba shouted loudly, split the mane of a wild horse with two hammers, and rushed towards Huang Chao and Deng Yuanjue to hit them. Seeing this, the two men quickly raised their weapons to fight, only to hear two "clang" sounds. Whether it was Huang Chao or Deng Yuanjue, the tiger's mouth cracked, and the weapons in their hands crashed to the ground.
"King, be careful!"
Both of them lost their weapons and their expressions changed, but Li Xuanba was extremely fast. He struck out with one strike and quickly retracted the second strike one after another. Seeing that the situation was critical, Deng Yuanjue became worried and jumped up to block Huang Chao's way with his own body as a shield.
There was just a muffled sound, and Deng Yuanjue received a solid blow from Li Xuanba on the chest. His internal organs immediately burst, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. His huge body flew out, hitting Huang Chao behind, and the two of them were thrown away together. A few feet away.
