I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Zhangsun Wuji explained: “His Majesty, you may not believe it. According to our post-war estimation, there were only about 3,000 soldiers in Xia Country outside the East City at that time, and we On one side, there are a total of 25,000 people, which is a little more than eight times the other side. Such a gap can be described as extremely huge. Especially my Great Tang soldiers are all elite. Under normal circumstances, our side can only succeed, and it is impossible to fail. , After all, there is a huge disparity in military strength.”

“However, on the side of the Xia Country army, with three thousand people, a wall and Xia Country’s special weapons, forcibly blocked us in the city gate, making us Unable to break out of the encirclement.”

“The whole night, never break through.”

“By the time we can break through the encirclement in the morning, our forces have already consumed the overwhelming majority, and only left More than five thousand people.”

“On the Xia Country side, there are more than a thousand people left.”

“These thousand people no longer resist, spare no effort fighting, just like that, and Forcibly delayed for a while. In the end, there were only more than a hundred of these more than a thousand soldiers, but even so, more than a hundred people were fierce and unafraid of death, and continued to rush, and never retreated from start to finish. Even if it was us In order to save time to evacuate, they are still killing.”

Zhangsun Wuji sighed: “Originally, our troops should be able to withdraw. But at this time, they were attacked by cavalry. Entangled. Qin Qiong voluntarily stayed behind to stop the cavalry in order to break, and bought us time to evacuate. If not, we might have fallen in Jiuquan County.”

“Hey…”

Li Shimin sighed after hearing the words.

Li Shimin knows the battle strength of his troops. It is an absolute elite.

Dare to fight.

fierce and unafraid of death.

Unfortunately, the Xia Country army is not weak either.

Li Shimin never participated in the war, but after listening to Zhangsun Wuji’s description, he could already imagine the situation during the night raid. Even if it breaks through at night, because people are near the city gate, they will be bombed. The soldiers of Xia Country, fierce and unafraid of death, dragged down Zhangsun Wuji entire group and made the final defeat.

Zhangsun Wuji said: “His Majesty, in the final analysis, it is also that the minister has not planned properly. If the minister plans properly, he will not be blocked in Jiuquan County, or where he is now.”

Li Shimin said: “It’s in the sky, Fuji, you don’t have to take responsibility for this matter. At this point, it doesn’t make any sense to consider what has happened. The most important thing is right now. , Is to consider our next direction. Originally, my plan was to wait for you to rest well, and then gather everyone to discuss the next strategy.”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “His Majesty, minister I’ve already rested.”

Paused, Zhangsun Wuji continued: “After careful consideration, the minister thought that at the moment we are fighting with Du Qi, we have only one way to reverse the situation, and not always. Passive.”

Li Shimin said: “What method?”

“Strike!”

Zhangsun Wuji strongly said: “Take this method that is not a method. In this way, we have a chance to win. Because we adopt various strategies and strategies, we have to fight in the end. On the Du Qi side, Du Qi’s weapons are even more powerful. Even if we adopt various strategies, it is equally difficult to achieve. Purpose. Therefore, the minister believes that it is dignified to attack Changbaipo and throw everything away to attack. Even if it consumes all the soldiers, he must attack Du Qi’s position.”

Li Shimin is helpless. laughed.

The strategy proposed by Zhangsun Wuji is a bit broken, because the strategy of strong attack means that there is no arrangement for anything, just such a direct attack.

Li Shimin fell silent and never made a statement.

“Report!”

At this moment, a soldier said: “His Majesty, there is a frontline outpost returning to report the news.”

Li Shimin said: “Pass!”

The soldier immediately ordered to go down, and the sentry followed him in. He cup one fist in the other hand and saluted: “His Majesty, from the Du Qi barracks in Changbaipo, There was news that Du Qi specially arranged for someone to release the news that Li Ji and Qin Qiong had died in battle and had been beheaded. Right now, the forces of Jiuquan County are about to converge with Du Qi’s army, and then come to attack us. “

This is a follow-up specially arranged by Du Qi.

It’s just spreading news.

In the vicinity of Changbaipo, Li Shimin’s outposts are everywhere. As long as it is a little arranged, Li Shimin’s people will know the news.

Li Shimin was not surprised when he heard it, but was sad. Prior to this, Li Shimin had already received the news reported by Zhangsun Wuji and the others. Knowing that Li Ji and Qin Qiong had fallen, it must be a bode ill rather than well. Now, Li Shimin confirmed the news, waved his hand to let the sentry retreat, but said with some seriousness: “Fuji, Li Ji and Qin Qiong are really dead. I, Great Tang, broke two general members.”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “His Majesty, please be sorry.”

Li Shimin raised his hand and wiped his face. He breathes deeply, and said: “I, Great Tang and Xia Country, are incompatible. No. Destroy Xia Country and never give up.”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “His Majesty said that.”

For Du Qi, Zhangsun Wuji is also extremely hostile, because Du Qi Too much humiliation to him. Only by killing Du Qi can the humiliation of Zhangsun Wuji and the humiliation of Zhangsun Family be washed away.

Li Shimin clenched a fist and said: “We choose the method of meet force with force, even if our army attacks, there will be losses, or even greater losses. But at the moment we don’t make a choice, we just attack. “

Zhangsun Wuji said: “All Listens to your Majesty!”

“Report!”

At this moment, a soldier entered directly and reported : “His Majesty, the soldiers at the rear sent back news that the Retired Emperor will arrive at the barracks soon.”

Li Shimin raised his brows upon hearing this.

He was shocked.

Li Yuan is here?

In this year, Li Yuan’s body is getting thinner, Essence, Qi, and Spirit are getting worse day by day, as if it is really in the dying year of the wind and candle, and he looks almost unsupported. Why did Li Yuan in this state suddenly start from Cháng’ān to the front?

Li Shimin got up and said: “Fuji, follow me to the entrance of the camp to welcome the Father Emperor.”

“Chen obedience!”

Zhangsun Wuji immediately Should be down.

Li Shimin took Zhangsun Wuji and left the Chinese army’s account, and in a blink of an eye he waited at the entrance of the camp. Not long after, I saw Li Yuan’s Carriage arrive, and he slowly walked out of the Carriage. It’s just that Li Yuan’s back is extremely rickety at the moment, and his head is almost drooping, and his gray hair is messy and uncut.

When he got out of the car, he was supported by people. After all, taking the Carriage all the way is very difficult for an old man like Li Yuan.

Li Shimin stepped forward and said: “Small Official, meet the Father Emperor.”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “Meet the Retired Emperor.”

Li Yuan nodded, He didn’t speak, and when Li Shimin walked over to support him, they entered the camp with Li Shimin and sat down in Li Shimin’s camp to rest.
