    ?

    Hou Junji was killed in front of everyone. This scene fell in the Tang army's camp. Everyone saw Du Qi's violence, and Hou Junji was killed directly.  Because of this scene, Tang Jun was actually indignant, and everyone was hostile to Du Qi.

    It's just that deep in my heart, I have a little awe of Du Qi again.  It's not that they haven't seen Du Qi's power, it's because they know and have seen the power of Du Qi's army that they have a little awe.

    When Li Shimin returned to the barracks, he looked at Li Jing and said, "Duke Wei, send an order to go to battle. In this battle, we will accompany you to the end, fight to the end, and see who can't stand it first."

    Li Jing immediately ordered the attack.

    Originally, all the officers and men in the army had been dispatched properly, so now Li Jing ordered the army to move out.

    It was Liu Hongji who came out first.

    He led the army to fight out as a vanguard, and the number of Datang troops in this wave of battle was 30,000.  On the vast flat ground outside the city, the sun shone on the entire land. Under the golden sunlight, the black army swarmed out.

    Li Shimin looked at the army that had rushed out, and a look of expectation flashed in his eyes.  Du Qi's gunpowder and grenades are indeed powerful, but there are certain conditions for the use of such weapons. When the two armies start hand-to-hand combat, gunpowder and other weapons cannot be used, and landmines are also useless.

    It depends on the strength of the soldiers.

    Li Shimin has full confidence in the soldiers under his command, so he believes that this battle can reverse the situation.

    On the other side, Du Qi returned to the army formation. Seeing Li Shimin's army rushing out and getting closer to his soldiers, Du Qi handed over the command of the army to Xue Rengui, and he only needed to sit in the middle army and watch.

    Xue Rengui had been prepared for a long time. After he took over the army, he immediately ordered the formation.  There were shouts of killing on the battlefield, and the densely packed Tang army came, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

    It's just that Xue Rengui hasn't ordered the attack yet.

    He is still in no hurry.

    Xue Rengui is familiar with the command and dispatch of a war, and he has his own overall plan.  When Tang Jun was less than forty steps away from Xia Guojun's formation, Xue Rengui's eyes flickered, and he ordered the soldiers under his command to immediately take out the grenade and throw it out.  Hand grenades were thrown out one by one, and hundreds of hand grenades swept through the air and fell on the crowd of Tang Jun rushing forward.

    "Boom! Boom!"

    There was an explosion.

    The explosions one after another caused mud to splash on the ground, and corpses were blown up into the air.

    With this wave of bombing, the momentum of the forward Tang army was immediately blocked, and the high-spirited fighting spirit was like a snake being pinched seven inches, and it was immediately controlled by others.  And after this wave of explosions, the distance between the double reverses was shortened to less than twenty steps.

    The Tang army was affected by the explosion, and the formation of the soldiers charging at the front was briefly chaotic.  Xue Rengui no longer hesitated, and decisively ordered the attack.  With an order, the vast number of soldiers rushed out and greeted them.

    In this battle, the soldiers are like wolves and tigers.

    Because Tang Jun had just been bombed by a grenade, the Tang Jun soldiers who rushed forward were still a little dazed, and even a little shocked.  He was caught off guard when he suddenly encountered soldiers from the Xia Kingdom rushing out.

    The two sides clashed, and the formation of the Tang Army's former army fell into a disadvantage.

    This is Xue Rengui's plan.

    He knew that on the current battlefield, it was impossible to defeat the opponent with the help of grenades, because in the situation where the two sides were fighting, grenades were not very useful and could not be used.  But the existence of grenades can have an unexpected effect.

    A wave of grenade explosions disrupted the Tang army's rhythm and pace, disrupted the Tang army's forward formation, and weakened the momentum of the opponent's forward charge. Then Xia Guo soldiers can take advantage as soon as they charge forward.

    This is the arrangement of the details.

    ? When the two sides began to fight together, the overwhelming number of soldiers gathered, and the battlefield was already engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

    The soldiers on both sides kept fighting.

    Tang Jun's side began to be affected, but with the intervention of follow-up soldiers, the decline was slightly reversed.  However, Xia Guo's soldiers were already jealous, especially at the beginning when they had the upper hand, and the soldiers were even more motivated. Therefore, even though there was no winner or loser in the entire battle on the battlefield, Xia Guo's side had a slight advantage.

    The fighting continued, corpses fell one after another, and shouts and shouts sounded one after another.  The battle lasted from morning to noon, and finally in the evening, there was still no winner or loser, and it still didn't stop.

    On the battlefield, corpses have already piled up into mountains.

    Countless people were killed.

    Countless people are still killing.

    Looking at this scene, Du Qi felt unbearable in his eyes, but it was replaced by determination in an instant.  In fact, Du Qi rarely encountered such a large-scale frontal fight. Most of the time, he used ingenuity to win.  and suddenlyWhen going to war and attacking the countries in the Western Regions, there has never been such a frontal fight, but facing Datang here, the plan has been agreed, and this is the only way to fight.

    This is war.

    It is a battle for survival.

    If Du Qi loses this battle, Xia Guo will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and it is even unclear whether he can survive. Therefore, under the current circumstances, Du Qi has no choice but to fight.

    Xue Rengui commanded the battle, but he was also beside Du Qi. Seeing that the fighting was still going on, Xue Rengui said: "Your Majesty, it's evening now, do you want a truce?"

    "No!"

    Du Qi shook his head and said, "It's not necessary."

    Shangguanyi was also on the side, and he echoed: "We have no choice in this battle right now. Moreover, our 30,000 troops gradually gained the upper hand in the current fight, and the Tang army began to show signs of retreat. To retreat at this time,  Obviously not worth it."

    "In the beginning, the layout was carefully planned, using the grenade to gain an advantage, and then expanding the advantage a little bit. Now evacuating is tantamount to giving up all previous efforts. And now that the fighting is starting, if evacuating is tantamount to admitting defeat."

    Shangguanyi said: "In any case, we must not be the first to evacuate."

    Lai Jifu said: "And there is no movement in the city yet. To lure the snake out of the hole, we can't withdraw right now."

    "Report!"

    At this moment, a soldier rushed out.

    The soldiers came to Du Qi's side and reported: "Reporting to the king, Captain Wang, who is in charge of defending the city, said that there are people in the city who are attacking the city defense, intending to control the city gate. At present, these people have all been killed."

    "good!"

    A smile appeared on Du Qi's face.

    This is good news.

    Guazhou City, as a border county in the Tang Dynasty, was governed by Su Dingfang, but Du Qi believed that Li Shimin's spies and power were there.  Now that this wave of power is wiped out, one of Li Shimin's power has been cut off.

    Du Qi waved his hands to make the soldiers retreat, and his eyes fell on the battlefield again.  At this time, the battlefield has been continuously expanding, and Du Qi has even retreated a considerable distance to the nearby hillside high ground.  Only in this way can we clearly judge the situation of the battle and respond immediately.

    Su Dingfang reminded: "Your Majesty, in the infantry contest on the battlefield, the Tang army is in a weak position. It is estimated that the Tang army will definitely dispatch more forces, perhaps the cavalry will come from the two wings."

    Du Qidao: "Li Shimin wants to fight, and I will accompany him to the end. He has cavalry, and I also have cavalry. And although Li Shimin has black armored cavalry, our cavalry is not weak in combat effectiveness."

    Li Shimin's Xuanjia elite cavalry are all elite and extremely powerful.

    Du Qi's cavalry is not weak either.

    Du Qi looked at the Tang Army's camp. Where Li Shimin was, he had already looked at Li Jing and said, "Mr. Wei, Du Qi's troops have the upper hand. We have to increase our troops."

    "Not in a hurry!"

    Li Jing shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, our military strength here is comparable to that of Du Qi's, and we are in the upper hand due to the constant attrition on the battlefield. The reason is very simple, we still have 80,000 elites from Duan Zhixuan. So right now we are fighting with Du Qi  In a war of attrition, the more the opponent's troops are depleted, the more advantage we have, so we don't rush to send troops."

    After Li Shimin thought about it, this is really the truth.

    Even if the consumption ratio is one to one, or he consumes more, but in the end Du Qi's troops are reduced to more than 10,000 people. Once Duan Zhixuan's troops arrive, if he wants to win this battle, he must  easy.

    Li Shimin said: "What the Duke of Wei said is true, you have full command."

    "yes!"

    Li Jing answered solemnly.

    Speaking of this battle, Li Jing actually has no better idea, so what he can do now is to choose to fight a tough battle and fight for consumption. It depends on who can persist until the end.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
