Du Qi was not angry because of Hou Junji's words, and continued: "Hou Junji, oh Hou Junji, speaking of it, how many battles have you fought since following His Majesty? I really don't remember."
"You, Hou Junji, just stood firmly on His Majesty's side during the Xuanwu Sect change, and tried your best to persuade His Majesty to launch a coup. That's why you were highly regarded by His Majesty. In the end, you were rewarded for your merits. Duke."
"Actually, forgive me for being ignorant about what kind of battle you really led the troops to fight."
"In the early years, you, Hou Junji, relied on your rich family background to walk dogs and fight cocks. You were dandy, and your words and deeds were exaggerated. If you hadn't followed a good master, you would already be a pile of dead bones now."
Du Qi said: "Now, what kind of arrogance are you in front of this king! Bully the weak and fear the hard, self-righteous. When I was 13 or 14 years old, King Qin was suppressed everywhere. It was this king who resisted the pressure of Li Jiancheng in the East Palace. .¡±
"The operation of the Prince Qin's Mansion is difficult, and the money is short of turnover management. It is the king who generously donated money and gave the King Qin Mansion 500,000 guan in money, so that His Majesty can win over the courtiers and stabilize the power."
"Your Majesty lost the war in Hebei. Even Li Daoxuan, Luo Shixin and others were plotted to death because of the conspiracy of Li Shentong and Li Jiancheng. Your Majesty was in crisis. It was this king who made a plan to break the predicament in Hebei, allowing King Qin to profit from it."
"As for the change of Xuanwumen, you, Hou Junji, were just waving the flag and shouting, but the real planners were the king, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xiang, and my father. Your Hou Junji, at best, is just a gatekeeper. .¡±
Du Qi said: "It's really self-righteous to bark in front of this king relying on one's own merits."
The eloquent words revealed even more disdain for Hou Junji.
Immediately, Hou Junji became angry.
In his early years, it was true that his words and deeds were flamboyant and playful, but that was all in the early years. Under Li Shimin's command, Hou Junji also dared to fight and kill, and made great achievements in battle.
Compared to Li Jing, Duan Zhixuan, Li Xiaogong, Cheng Yaojin, etc., he was incomparable and incomparable, but Hou Junji didn't think that Du Qi, a kid, could be so powerful.
In particular, Du Qi and Li Chengqian had conflicts. After Li Shimin a hundred years later, Li Chengqian ascended the throne as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He only needed an order from Li Chengqian, and Du Qi would die.
In anger, Hou Junji ordered: "Yan Xing!"
"The end is here!"
Yan Xing stepped forward.
Yan Xing's person is a heroic general under Hou Junji's command. However, Yan Xing is in charge of the cavalry. Under Hou Junji's command, there are a total of 10,000 cavalry, all of which are powerful cavalry.
Hou Junji fixed his eyes on Du Qi's direction, his eyes filled with rage, and ordered: "Yan Xing, you lead a thousand cavalry to rush into Du Qi's camp and break Du Qi's defense."
"When you sprint, I will arrange people to attack with catapults and throw stones to suppress Du Qi's people."
"At the same time, there will be infantry following you."
"Your task is to break the defense."
Hou Junji's face was full of anger, and he was determined to break Du Qi's camp. If he does not win this battle, he will never give up. What's more, Hou Junji always believed that as long as he rushed forward and broke Du Qi's camp, he would have a chance to win.
Yan Xing got Hou Junji's order, and said solemnly: "General, please rest assured, the general will definitely break through Du Qi's camp. The merit of being the first to go in, the general took down the cavalry battalion under his command."
After he finished speaking, he rode his horse and left.
Immediately call the soldiers to assemble.
A thousand cavalry were in place, and the infantry also arrived at the same time. Following Yan Xing's order, the cavalry rushed forward quickly.
When the cavalry and infantry attacked together, there were also catapults throwing stones outside. This was not to use the catapult to attack the camp, but to suppress the archers in the camp and the soldiers who threw grenades.
Du Qi was not surprised to see the cavalry camp that had killed them. Du Qi nodded to Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui immediately made adjustments, stepped forward with shield soldiers and spearmen, and formed a defensive posture in front.
At the same time, there are archers and grenadiers in the rear.
The same is to form a fortification.
Large boulders flew from the air one by one, and landed in the camp in a blink of an eye. This situation did cause some confusion in the camp, but Xue Rengui, as the commanding general, did not panic at all. The area where the Tang Army's catapults are located is also where the Tang Army's army lined up.
Xue Rengui looked at Du Qi and said, "Your Highness, I request the use of gunpowder."
"Can!"
Du Qi replied immediately.
Xue Rengui immediately gave orders and informed the catapult soldiers to gather and take their positions. There are no such weapons as mortars, so at present, the only way to throw gunpowder is to use catapults.
Such a throw actually has certain risks. That is, the distance must be grasped well. If the distance cannot be grasped well, the gunpowder may have burned and exploded in mid-air.
This is to be calculated.
The catapults were assembled one by one and aimed at the direction of the Tang army's catapults. As the gunpowder ignited, the catapult lever swung, and the burning powder had flown out.
These gunpowder are still packed in clay pots.
When Hou Junji saw that Du Qi's army was also using catapults, he dismissed them. He used catapults, and he didn't intend to rely on catapults to kill many people. He just used catapults to open the way for cavalry and infantry.
Du Qi followed his example.
However, he only learned the surface, which is not a means at all.
Hou Junji looked very calm, but at this moment the clay pot that was flying in the air finally fell to the ground. The moment the clay pot shattered, the gunpowder had burned to the end.
Boom! ! !
The explosion sounded again.
This explosion was extremely powerful.
Even the explosion of gunpowder is several times higher than that of the previous mines and grenades. When the gunpowder exploded, the catapult on the ground and the surrounding catapult soldiers were all blown away in an instant.
Within a few feet, there is no living thing.
Around the catapult, there are soldiers in formation. Accompanied by such an explosion, all the soldiers around were killed and injured without exception, and none of them were intact.
Boom! boom! ! !
After the clay pots fell one by one, the gunpowder exploded.
The flames blazed, the mud splashed, and the corpses flew up. The soldiers behind the army, including the catapult, were all blown out, and the casualties were even greater. After all, there were many soldiers gathered around the catapult.
The continuous explosions, but in a short period of time, killed and injured at least more than a thousand people. Since the battle, Du Qi's men have never sent a single soldier, but the soldiers under Hou Junji's command have already lost nearly 5,000 casualties.
Hou Junji was extremely angry in his heart.
He looked ahead.
At this time, Hou Junji was a bit like a gambler, hoping that the horses and infantry that rushed out would break Du Qi's camp. It's just that the sound of the explosion frightened the war horses, and many war horses rushed uncontrollably.
Especially near the gate of the camp, there were crossbow arrows and grenade explosions, which further weakened the cavalry's offensive. Even if the cavalry of the Tang army reached the gate of the camp, the combination of shield soldiers and pikemen prevented the thousand cavalry led by Yan Xing from breaking through.
Even though there were still infantry coming close to the camp, Du Qi was not afraid at all, because even in close combat, Du Qi was still confident enough to win.
