I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Du Qi said: “What are you going to do?”

Laiji’s eyes were sharp and he said: “Reporting back to His Majesty, since Li Ji took the A comprehensive defense strategy. So this time, we are beating somebody at their own game. We completely block them to form a real encirclement.”

Du Qi said: “How to block?”

Lai Ji said resolutely: “Li Ji built a city wall in Jiuquan County, and even paved Cement Road outside the city, making it impossible to dig and bury mines in the entire city. We are in the county seat of Jiuquan County. In the range of about a hundred steps away, build a wall with a height of half a person, mainly masonry, and then apply Cement to reinforce it to a thickness of about one foot.”

” Completely surround the entire Jiuquan.”

“In this case, completely surround Li Ji. In this way, we only need to guard the outside. Li Ji has become a lone army, if he breaks through , But because there is a surrounding wall. Our army can attack them with the help of the wall, making them unable to break through.”

Laiji continued: “If Great Tang, there are other troops who want Come for aid, we can fight for aid again. Anyway, this is beneficial to us.”

Du Qi’s eyes lit up after listening, with a look of approval, and smiled: “Wonderful, wonderful Oh! This method is simple. But this plan is effective.”

After thinking about it, Shangguan Yi also admired: “Laiji’s plan is indeed feasible.”

Li Jing also said: “His Majesty, the minister approves of Laiji’s plan.”

A crowd of people all agreed.

After the plan was settled, Du Qi instructed Shangguan Yi to mobilize auxiliary troops and prepare Cement, masonry, etc., so that the wall could be built quickly upon arrival. After lunch and a short rest, the army set out again for Jiuquan County. Du Qi’s army was not far from Jiuquan County, but in one day, when they arrived near noon the next morning, the army had already arrived outside Jiuquan County.

This time, Du Qi never stepped forward to shout.

It is a very simple action.

The auxiliary soldiers under his command swiftly acted and began to build a masonry wall a hundred steps away from Jiuquan County. This wall is about five feet high and one foot wide. After the brick wall is built, Cement is applied to the outside to reinforce it.

This scene falls on the gate tower.

Li Ji, Zhangsun Wuji and the others, who are hiding in the dark, are a little stunned when they see this scene.

Because I just started, I can’t see much. However, in all directions of the city, Xia Country’s auxiliary soldiers are in action, and it is already possible to judge this intention in about a quarter of an hour.

After Li Ji understood Du Qi’s intentions, he lost his voice: “Duke of Qi, Wei Xiang, Du Qi wants to catch a turtle in a jar, and block us all in Jiuquan County. With this Enclosing the wall, then our forces have to go out of the city, it is basically impossible. It is true that although we have enough food in the city, there are also enough weapons, equipment, etc., but we can’t hold it for a long time! After all, there are so many in the city. The people want to eat and drink, and there are so many soldiers here. Du Qi’s move is so cruel!”

Zhangsun Wuji’s complexion also became solemn.

It stands to reason that a Jiuquan county town occupies a very large area. It is a huge Engineering Project to enclose all directions of the entire city. It even said that some effortlessness may not be of great effect. But Du Qi this time actually took this method and spent a lot of effort to block them in the city.

In this way, it is extremely difficult for them to act.

Impossible to get out of town at will.

After all, what is built outside the city is not an ordinary mud wall, nor is it a wooden fence standing on the ground, it is a real Cement wall. Especially from the gate tower, you can see the thick walls outside the city. Under such a wall, even if Li Ji has a Gunpowder under his command. However, Gunpowder’s bombing may not be able to help.

If it is bombed now, all directions outside the city are being built, and it will not be easy to bomb it. It was only part of the bombing, and simply couldn’t stop it.

Zhangsun Wuji sighed: “Manager Li, this time we are in trouble again. In today’s situation, we want to reverse the situation, I am afraid it is even more difficult. Especially once the wall is built, then we have to To fight out of the city, you must first face the wall fortifications of Du Qi. They can use the wall to counter us and stop our soldiers from leaving the city. Now we are really stuck in this urn.”

Wei Zheng also clenched his fists with a serious expression. At this moment, he even felt a little panic.

The situation is quite bad.

Wei Zheng thought for a moment and said solemnly: “Manager Li, the fortifications of Du Qi are currently under construction. If we choose to break through, we can still survive. If this wall is built, Blocking us inside, then when we break through the next time, then this wall will become a fortress of Du Qi, which means that our breakthrough becomes an offense, and the other side is a defense and can constantly attack us with the help of a cover. “

Li Ji said solemnly: “Now it breaks through, once Du Qi sets up an ambush, will we be attacked?”

Wei Zheng’s mood sank.

As Li Ji said, Du Qi arranged this method, perhaps waiting for them to go out. Once out of the attack, it hit Du Qi’s arms. Moreover, their troops are insufficient, and once they attack, they will be even more disadvantaged.

Wei Zheng said: “What do we do now?”

Li Ji said: “Our food, etc., can last for at least four months. We are now defensively Strategy, delay time first. Anyway, Du Qi built the wall like this, it is impossible to attack. Now delay time first, and then we will arrange for someone to return to Cháng’ān to notify His Majesty and ask His Majesty to make a decision.”

Wei Zheng said: “This can only be done.”

Zhangsun Wuji nodded: “This is the only way at the moment.”

Li Ji and everyone reached a unity He stopped to say more about his opinion, and immediately arranged it to inform the soldiers stationed not to panic and to guard with all their strength.

Li Ji did not take any action, and Du Qi only implemented a strategy of encirclement, and now it is convenient for both parties to confront each other.

One day passed in a flash.

Under the spare no effort of Du Qi’s auxiliary soldiers, a wall that is half the height of a person was built outside the city. This wall is half a person tall and one foot thick, even a normal Gunpowder cannot influence it.

Du Qi’s army is stationed outside the city. However, at the Four-sided City gate, a sentry was also arranged to stare at. Once Li Ji wanted to withdraw his troops, Du Qi would immediately stop him. Because of the existence of the wall, it was not so easy for Li Ji to evacuate at this time. It’s just that Li Ji never went out of the city, but his sentry, who had already gotten down from the gate tower in the dark, and went out of the city quickly.

Leaving Jiuquan, the sentry ran quickly, leaving the county area, looking for a horse, and rushing to Cháng’ān.
