At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 687 Li Shimin's Counterattack
Although Xu Shiji expected that the Tang army might counterattack, he did not expect that the Tang army's counterattack would be so swift and violent, and the strength of the Tang army was far more than [-]. It is estimated that there are [-] to [-] people. The ground increased troops, and then by surprise, a full-strength counterattack came.

This is like retracting a clenched fist and suddenly punching out, the power in it is naturally extraordinary.

Now the trouble is serious. Although Xu Shiji and Lu Sheng have a combined strength of more than [-] troops, they did not act together. Instead, they split into two groups, separated by about [-] miles, approaching the bowl at the entrance of Taihang Xing in a pincer shape. Zicheng continued to shrink and encircle. It was intended to force the Tang army to retreat from Taihangxing to Changping County, but Li Shimin seized the opportunity to attack it.

Now the Tang army suddenly abandoned the city and rushed out to attack Xu Shiji's Qi army with all their strength. They didn't even care about the possibility that their rear might be copied by another Qi army. Xu Shiji was really caught off guard!
Tang Jun's approach was too fierce and fast, Xu Shiji could only retreat decisively to avoid his attack, but Tang Jun rushed to catch up.Xu Shiji was forced to stop, so he could only stop and fight. The Tang army immediately encircled them on all sides, taking turns to attack, and the Qi army was exhausted.

Xu Shiji saw that the situation was not good, so he ordered to fight and retreat. In the afternoon, he finally retreated to the intersection of Danshui and Qinshui. This is an open triangular beach area, with rivers on the left and right, and Danshui and Qinshui behind him. interchange.

Arriving here, Xu Shiji was determined, and immediately formed a camp near the water to defend against the Tang army's attack.Due to the terrain, no matter how difficult it is for the Tang army to take advantage of its strength, it can only attack from the front, so the pressure on the Qi army is also greatly reduced.

I saw that the Qi army's sword and shield were in front of them, forming layers of dense and strong shield walls, which successfully resisted wave after wave of Tang army's offensive.Once the ground was stabilized, the Qi army's Shenji Battalion began to show its power. Bed crossbows, continuous crossbows, and flying thunders roared out, bombarding indiscriminately, and constantly harvesting lives.

The setting sun was like blood, and both Danshui and Qinshui were dyed blood red. The corpses of the two armies were strewn all over the ground in front of the formation.Even so, the Tang army was still fearless of death, and continued to attack wave after wave. Although Xu Shiji had experienced many battles, he couldn't help being moved at this moment.

At this moment, Du Ruhui looked at the Tang army like moths flying into the flames, and couldn't help but sighed: "The land of Western Qin has been convenient since ancient times, and the people in Guanzhong are brave and good at fighting. Now it seems true. Fortunately, we are lucky. Occupy the geographical advantage, otherwise it is really hard to resist."

Xu Shiji looked up at the sunset in the west that was about to sink to the horizon, but his heart was inexplicably heavy. This time he was really careless, and actually followed Li Shimin's way. He was afraid that this triangular river bend was also a trap that Li Shimin had calculated in advance. Because although this place is temporarily good for defense, it is also a desperate place. There is no way to retreat behind and on both sides. Once you enter here, you are waiting in a pocket. If there is no foreign aid, it will be difficult to break through. After a long time, you will be trapped to death it's here.

Now what Xu Shiji is most worried about is Lu Sheng. Since Li Shimin has come out in full force, he is not worried about being copied at all, which means that he has a plan to deal with it. There was no way to come to rescue myself.

Of course, this was just Xu Shiji's personal guess, and he didn't say it in public, so as not to disturb the morale of the army. At least now the Qi army still has the upper hand, and the morale of the whole army has not been greatly affected, and the defense is as solid as a rock.

The sunset finally set, and the Tang army also receded like the tide. They set up a camp at a distance from the Qi army, and began to build fortifications overnight, buried a large number of wooden piles on the beach, and built rows of barracks.

When Xu Shiji saw it, his mood became a little heavier. It seemed that he had guessed pretty well. Tang Jun was going to trap his people here to death. Too bad, Lu Sheng's current situation might not be better than his own. How many.

But Xu Shiji really couldn't figure it out, Li Shimin's 70,000 people were all here, how could he have the manpower to deal with Lu Sheng?Could it be...

Xu Shiji suddenly thought of a possibility, couldn't help being shocked, and blurted out: "Wang Shichong!"

Du Ruhui asked in surprise, "What does Shi Ji mean by that?"

Xu Shiji said with an ugly face: "It's careless, Li Shimin dared to attack us with all his strength, most likely he reached a deal with Wang Shichong, and now Lu Sheng is probably being attacked by Wang Shichong!"

Du Ruhui's complexion changed slightly. Some time ago, although Wang Shichong attacked the Heyang warehouse and had a serious relationship with Li Tang, Wang Shichong lost Luoyang and obviously hated Gao Qi even more. At this time, if Li Shimin proposed to cooperate with Gao Qi, it must be Wang Shichong will definitely agree.

"Then is there a way to decipher the world record?" Du Ruhui asked hastily.

Xu Shiji smiled wryly and said: "Li Tang's army strength is more than twice that of our army, and the army's combat power is even stronger. We are lucky that our army can hold on. If we break through regardless of the consequences, the losses will be very heavy. Maybe the entire army will be wiped out." .”

Du Ruhui couldn't help frowning: "Then what should I do?"

"The only solution now is to seek help from King Qi." Xu Shiji said helplessly.

"Is it in time?" Du Ruhui asked solemnly.

"I hope that kid Lu Sheng can persevere!" Xu Shiji sighed. Once Lu Sheng's army is wiped out, his own army will also be in danger. Li Shimin and Wang Shichong will join forces. Can't live.

At that moment, Xu Shiji selected more than a dozen Qi soldiers who were proficient in water skills to cross the river in the dark and rushed to Luoyang for help.

At this moment, on the Tang army's position, Li Shimin was riding vigorously on his horseback, and all the advisers and generals under his command surrounded him like stars and moons.

At this time, Li Shimin's mood was undoubtedly joyful, and the night covered up the excitement in his eyes. So far, the plan has progressed very smoothly. Xu Shiji was fooled, and he retreated into this desperate situation and became a turtle in the urn. , as long as I block this tidal flat for a few days, the overall situation can be settled.

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Xu Shiji is certainly great, but he will be proud if he wins for a long time. This time he was careless and made a mistake, and he lost everything. When Wang Shichong and Li Mi solve Lu Sheng, Xu Shiji's team will also be on the verge of defeat." Not far away!"

Li Xiaogong also said happily: "Xu Shiji and Lu Sheng are Gao Changqing's right arm and right arm. If they are annihilated, Gao Changqing will be a tiger with broken wings and not as good as a cat. Whether Luoyang can hold it is still unknown. King Qin's plan of drawing salary from the bottom is really good pole!"

Li Shimin was quite proud when he heard the words. In previous contests with Gao Bufan, he was at a disadvantage. This time, he can finally win against Gao Bufan. Gao Changqing, Gao Changqing, I, Li Shimin, are no worse than you. You won [-] million before No matter how many times, I only need to win you once, and you will have no chance to turn around.

Changsun Shunde didn't make a sound. Gao Changqing was so lucky that he couldn't be careless until the last moment. However, Li Shimin managed to gain the upper hand once, and he couldn't bear to say something disappointing. He just picked up the wine gourd and silently Take a sip.
