At this moment, the Xia Guo army that was arrayed outside the camp had not launched an attack yet. And Du Qi rode his horse and stood in the front. Du Qi's eyes fell on Hou Junji, and he said, "Hou Junji, you never expected that the army under my king would suddenly appear in the territory of Guazhou and even arrive outside your camp."
When Hou Junji heard Du Qi's words, all the chaotic emotions in his mind had subsided at this moment. When he regained his senses, he gritted his teeth and said, "Du Qi, how dare you openly enter Datang? Are you doing this to start a war with Datang?"
Speaking of this, Hou Junji's voice suddenly rose to a higher level, and he said again: "Du Qi, don't think that you won the victory last time and threatened His Majesty, so you can be complacent. Let me tell you, in the territory of the Great Tang, you can't Unscrupulous."
Du Qi couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and after laughing for a while, Du Qi said: "Hou Junji, Hou Junji, although you are a general, you don't have the mouth of a literati, but your mouth is really It will quibble and make people admire.¡±
"Is this the king instigated the war this time?"
"I'm afraid not, but you, Hou Junji, arranged for Zhou Ziqing to lead a thousand soldiers from the Tang Army to sneak into Rouyuan County as soon as he got the news that the king was patrolling the territory of Xia Kingdom, and then ambushed the king in Fenghe Valley."
"You have to be cautious when you lose money, so you are not immune to disasters. When you do things, Hou Junji, you do not admit your mistakes. Instead, you shift the responsibility to others."
Du Qi smiled and said: "I'm afraid, there is no such reason in this world."
Hou Junji snorted and said, "Although I, Hou Junji, arranged for people, I didn't send troops to enter the territory of your Xia Kingdom. Now you, Du Qi, openly lead an army into the territory of our Tang Dynasty. Du Qi, you This is a blatant declaration of war."
Du Qidao: "What about declaring war?"
Hou Junji said: "As long as you declare war, then Datang will definitely fight you to the death. It is true that you, Du Qi, have powerful weapons, but I, Datang, will not be afraid of you."
Du Qi sneered twice and said: "Hou Junji, your words are really long-winded, and they are all so boring. Do you know why I didn't attack directly, but talked to you?"
Hou Junji asked, "Why?"
Du Qidao: "Because I want to remind you that you will definitely lose in the next battle. If you surrender now, it will fall into the hands of this king. This king will not deal with you, at most he will imprison you. But if you You must insist on resisting, and once you lose, you will fall into the hands of this king, and you will not be able to bear the consequences."
In the words, Du Qi already threatened, and continued: "Hou Junji, you have to think about it. After all, you are experienced and know the consequences of falling into the hands of this king."
It was good that Hou Junji didn't listen to Du Qi's words, but when he heard Du Qi's words, he immediately became furious, he gritted his teeth and said, "Du Qi, you are so self-righteous. You have to be clear, this is the place where the general led his army to station. I will be fully prepared, if you want to fight, just come, and I, Hou Junji, will accompany you to the end."
It is impossible to surrender without a fight.
Hou Junji's army has a full 50,000 elite troops, and the soldiers in the army have strong combat effectiveness. Especially in Hou Junji's battle, he was not in charge of attacking, but in charge of defense, so Hou Junji was more confident and confident in defending.
He will not admit defeat.
Du Qi said lightly: "You don't have to drink fine wine for the toast, it doesn't matter, this king will fulfill you."
"Xue Rengui, send an order to attack!"
Du Qi immediately gave the order.
"yes!"
Xue Rengui immediately arranged for it.
The attack plan has already been drawn up, and the respective tasks have been arranged. Now following Xue Rengui's order, the first to prepare are the soldiers responsible for putting gunpowder. The catapults are ready, and all the clay pots containing gunpowder have been placed on the catapults, and everything is ready.
"Light it up!"
The general in charge of gunpowder gave an order. As the order was issued, one by one the soldiers took out their torches and lit the fire. The fuse sizzled and burned instantly, and the catapult soldiers directly threw clay pots. Clay pots loaded with gunpowder flew through the air and flew towards the camp.
Hou Junji was in the camp at the moment, he saw the clay pots flying towards him, and he saw the sizzling fuse.
"Back away, back away quickly."
Hou Junji shouted the order.
In the past, when Hou Junji and Du Qi fought, he learned the power of Du Qi's weapons. Once this weapon falls in the crowd, it will definitely be turned on its back. Especially if this weapon explodes beside him, it will be even more terrifying. So Hou Junji gave the order, and quickly retreated to avoid it.
In his heart, however?? Then regret it.
It's not that I regret provoking Du Qi, but that I regret not stationed in the city. It's all right, it's good for him to be stationed in the city, why should he come outside the city? So much so that now, under the siege of Du Qi, it is impossible for him to retreat even if he wants to.
Especially when Hou Junji got the news earlier, there was a large army of Du Qi outside the county seat, blocking the gate of the city gate to prevent Su Dingfang from rushing to help. At the same time, this also cut off Hou Junji's way of retreat, making Hou Junji trapped in a desperate situation by being attacked from both front and back.
When the soldiers under Hou Junji's command retreated, the soldiers under his command had already moved forward quickly. Just in the blink of an eye, the clay pot that flew in the air fell to the ground, and the moment the pot shattered, the gunpowder exploded.
"Boom!"
An explosion sounded.
Even though there were only a few soldiers at the center of the explosion of the first gunpowder, the number of soldiers was small, but this explosion seemed to fall on the hearts of all Tang soldiers, and everyone was terrified.
The defensive formation at the gate of the camp was in complete chaos.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
Explosions sounded one after another, the gate of the camp was ablaze, the mud was flying, and there were screams. The soldiers of the Tang army who could not escape were killed and injured by gunpowder one after another, and suffered countless losses. The fence at the entrance of the camp was even more crooked, and many fence watchtowers were on fire, and the crookedness no longer had any deterrent effect.
Xue Rengui looked at this scene with a smile in his eyes, this is the effect he wanted.
Attack with gunpowder and directly break the camp.
Hou Junji sits outside the camp, and what he relies on is actually the defense of the camp. But there is no strong city, and the fence of the camp alone is not enough to resist the explosion of gunpowder.
In a short time, the camp was damaged.
Under Hou Junji's command, the soldiers' morale was even more chaotic, and they all retreated in a hurry.
Xue Rengui ordered the soldiers throwing gunpowder to stop, and then gave the order for the whole army to attack. For this attack, because the camp had been damaged and the barracks had lost its defensive strength, Xue Rengui mobilized cavalry first. The cavalry rushed in at the forefront, rushed in from all directions, and then began to gallop, reaping lives.
Immediately behind them are the infantry.
Cooperating with the cavalry and infantry, they continued to penetrate deep into the camp like a plow court sweeping holes, beheading Tang soldiers one by one, making the Tang army in the camp already in chaos.
Although Hou Junji was flustered, there was even a trace of panic in his heart. But after all, he is a veteran general, and he made a decisive decision at the moment, especially when he saw that Du Qi's army was coming, and he no longer used the mysterious weapon, so he shouted: "Send the order, give me a counterattack, counterattack Du Qi. Du Qi The army of the army has stopped using weapons and fought back." (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
