I’m Marquis in Great Tang

On Niulan Mountain.

Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Zhou personally command. Xiao Yuanqi is not very good at offense, but Xiao Yuanqi is very good at defense. In recent years, Xiao Yuanqi is also growing up, constantly reading to increase his knowledge, and more research on Art of War strategy. Today’s Xiao Yuanqi is no longer the Xiao Yuanqi of the past. It has changed too much, is more mature, and has more stable use of troops.

That’s why Du Qi will let Xiao Yuanqi be responsible for the defense.

With the cooperation of Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Zhou, the two made detailed arrangements for the current terrain of Niulan Mountain, so that waves of offensive Tang Army were all defeated.

“Report!”

At this moment, a sentry rushed over.

This is from the rear.

When Xiao Yuanqi saw the rushing sentry, before the other party actively reported the news, he asked: “How about the fight between the king and Duan Zhixuan?”

“Great victory!”

The sentry’s eyes were filled with expression of excitement, and continued: “General Xiao, the king has now escorted all the captured Tang Army and is coming to the front line of Niulan Mountain.”

While speaking, the sentry handed the letter.

Xiao Yuanqi opened the letter and read the detailed report, which was even more exciting. Then, he handed over the battle report to Ma Zhou and continued: “Mr. Ma, this prisoner of war captured more than 50,000 Tang Army soldiers, and even Duan Zhixuan won, and he won a big victory. Now the king is coming to the front line of Niulan Mountain. Now, Tang Army has no chance.”

Ma Zhou nodded: “General Xiao said that Tang Army has failed this battle.”

In his eyes There is also an expression of excitement.

Xia Country is strong, but it is located in a corner, only Western Regions. Great Tang is different. It is a heavenly country, sitting on the world, with numerous populations and powerful strength. Especially Li Shimin’s Civilian Court Official has countless generals, a galaxy of talent. Such a big Tang Army team lost to Xia Country, which is extremely exciting.

“Report!”

At this moment, another soldier from the front line of the trench came back and reported: “General Xiao, there is a situation under the mountain. Tang Army, it is fast He digs a ditch, it looks like he is going to come up to our mountain.”

Xiao Yuan heard this and looked down the mountain carefully.

As far as he can see, he sees the situation down the mountain. Although the distance is a little far away, it is not very real, but he can also see the soldiers who are digging a trench quickly, and there is continuous mud dumping on both sides On both sides of the trench.

After Xiao Yuanqi saw it, said with a sneer: “Even if they dig trenches quickly, they have to dig into the mountains. Very few hours are impossible to do. By then, the king’s army will be Arriving, this is a useless thing. If they are at first, it may have a certain impact on us. But now it’s too late and it won’t make any difference.”

Ma Zhou said: “General Xiao said it is quite true.”

paused, Ma Zhou looked towards the soldier who came to report, instructed: “The news is passed that the king has defeated the army of 80,000 Duan Zhixuan and captured Great Tang. The main general Duan Zhixuan, and captured more than 50,000 Tang Army. The king’s army is quickly returning to Niulan Mountain.”

The soldiers were excited when they heard it.

Good news!

The soldiers were high-spirited, and immediately sent the order. In a short time, the news was spread on the mountain. Especially the soldiers in the trenches all knew the news.

For a time, the mountain cheered.

Countless people shouted.

Countless people cheered.

All the soldiers of Xia Country are excited at this moment. These Xia Country soldiers guarding the mountain are not only high-spirited, but they are no longer worried. If it was said that they had resisted the Tang Army’s offensive before, these soldiers, even though they said spare no effort, also had concerns. They were worried that Niulanshan would not be able to defend them, but now they no longer have this concern.

The cheers on the mountain spread down the mountain, even Li Shimin heard it. Li Shimin had a puzzled look on his face, thinking that the situation was very strange.

Li Shimin looked towards Zhangsun Wuji and said: “Fuji, look at the Xia Country soldiers on Niulan Mountain. They found that our soldiers started digging trenches and they laughed out loud. Could it be that they think we are Is it useless to do this?”

Zhangsun Wuji was also a little confused, because the current scene is really weird and invisible.

Digging trenches is a wonderful move.

Once it is dug through, not far from the Xia Country army’s position on the hillside, they want to break the defense of Niulan Mountain Xia Country, then with no difficulty. However, Xia Country cheered and laughed, making people confused.

Zhangsun Wuji looked towards Li Jing and said: “Duke of Wei, why do you say this?”

Li Jing shook his head and said, “Duke of Qi, the old man didn’t know it either. No matter what, we will remain unchanged. For now, we just need to maintain the status quo and continue to dig trenches. The Xia Country army on the mountain does this with their intentions, but we don’t care about it, just do our own thing. “

Li Shimin echoed: “Duke of Wei said so, we will do it now.”

He agreed with Li Jing’s arrangement.

This is a good suggestion.

For the Tang Army, trenches were still dug in a frenzy. Even when the Tang Army was digging, it stands to reason that the Xia Country soldiers on the mountain could counterattack with grenades or bomb them with artillery fire. However, the Xia Country garrison on Niulan Mountain did not have the slightest reaction, but the army was sitting here leisurely, which made people feel weird.

Li Shimin and the others felt weird and couldn’t figure it out for a while, so they could only watch the changes.

A crowd waited quietly.

Time is passing by little by little.

An hour has passed!

An hour and a half passed!

In a blink of an eye, it was nearly night time, and at this moment, on the road leading to Xia Country on the west side of the official road, suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horseshoes, and even more smoke billowed.

The vast army is coming.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of the Tang Army under the mountain.

Because of the roads under the mountain, there are scattered landmines, but seeing this rushing army, they stopped just as soon as they reached the western side of Niulan Mountain. And the flags in the army floated with a big Xia character flag.

This is the army of Xia Country.

When Li Shimin and the others saw this army, including Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji and the others, their hearts sank, and there was a solemn expression on their faces.

Everyone knows that something is wrong.

Because of the west side of Niulan Mountain, Du Qi’s army and Duan Zhixuan went to war. Now Du Qi’s army has retreated without rush or slow, and is already stationed under the mountain, especially the Du Qi entire group has started climbing from the west. It can be seen that Duan Zhixuan’s situation is definitely not optimistic.

Li Shimin couldn’t help but smash his mouth, his expression gradually gloomy.

There is an expression of worry in the eyes.

In the worry of Li Shimin and the others, suddenly I saw the Xia Country army stationed at the bottom of the mountain, escorting the Tang Army generals to start climbing. Although it was a hundred steps further away, there were soldiers dressed in Tang Army detained at the bottom of the mountain, and generals were escorted upwards. This can be roughly seen clearly.

Seeing this scene, everyone’s hearts sink.

At this moment, Li Shimin understood why the soldiers from Xia Country suddenly cheered. It must be Du Qi’s sentinel who sent the news, telling everyone the news of the victory. In this case, it can be explained clearly why the Tang Army digs the trench, and the Xia Country soldiers on the mountain did not stop it from start to finish.

All this is because Du Qi has defeated Duan Zhixuan, and the Niulanshan defenders did not act.

Li Shimin’s cheeks twitched slightly, looking towards Zhangsun Wuji, and said dryly: “Fuji, now Duan Zhixuan’s 80,000 army, all have been defeated on the west side of Niulan Mountain, how can we do it? “

Zhangsun Wuji is even more confused. He didn’t know what to do for a while, especially Zhangsun Wuji was also panicked.

not knowing what to do.

I am worried about being targeted by Du Qi.
