Du Qi's army retreated overnight, and before dawn, they had already arrived at Niulan Mountain.
Du Qi led the army to arrive, which surprised Xiao Yuanqi, because the original plan was that Du Qi and his party were in Guazhou. He quickly came down from Niulan Mountain and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you fight the Tang army in Guazhou City? Why are you coming out of Guazhou City now?"
The news of the First World War yesterday has been sent.
Xiao Yuanqi knew that Du Qi's side had the upper hand and won the battle yesterday. It's just that Xiao Yuanqi was puzzled in his heart. According to the established plan, it was not arranged like this.
Du Qi explained: "At present, the battle plan with the Tang army has been adjusted, and the focus is to attack the Tang army that passes through Niulan Mountain. Xiao Yuanqi, you set up a battle, even at the point where Guazhou City leads to Niulan Mountain. Landmines were planted on the official roads, preparing to resist the incoming Li Shimin. The next Tang army will join another Tang army to surround us. The new plan for this battle is to destroy the Tang army in the rear first."
"yes!"
Xiao Yuanqi went to make arrangements immediately.
Right now is not the time to inquire, first arrange all the things and prepare for the defense.
Previously, Xiao Yuanqi made certain arrangements, but the main arrangement was on the mountain. But now, it is necessary to set up a defense line on the official road to stop the attacking Tang army. When Xiao Yuanqi made arrangements, it was already bright, and the army under Du Qi's command had already taken advantage of this short period of time to rest for a certain period of time to recover their physical strength and energy.
Xiao Yuanqi came to Du Qi and said, "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."
Du Qi nodded.
"Report!"
At this moment, another soldier shouted.
A soldier flew to Xiao Yuanqi, first saluted Du Qi, and then reported: "General Xiao, the Tang army is coming from the rear. The opponent has issued a banner, which is a paragraph banner."
Du Qi thought for a while after hearing this, and said: "Duan Ziqi, then the leader must be Duan Zhixuan. He has a total of 80,000 troops, but his strength and combat effectiveness are weaker than ours. Let's take this one first." Criticize the Tang army, and then deal with Li Shimin."
"Report!"
At this moment, another sentry came running from the front.
This was arranged by Du Qi along the line from Guazhou to Niulan Mountain to monitor the whereabouts of Li Shimin's army at any time.
The sentry came to Du Qi's side and reported: "Your Majesty, the army led by Li Shimin has been dispatched and is coming straight to us. It is estimated that it will reach Niulan Mountain within an hour at most."
Du Qi waved his hand to let the sentinel continue to investigate, then looked at Xiao Yuanqi and said, "I'll give you another 10,000 soldiers to guard the Shandong line of Niulan and block the Tang army. You only need to wait for a day, and within a day I will Defeat Duan Zhixuan's army. Are you sure?"
Xiao Yuanqi said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I promise to complete the task. And here, I'll give me another 6,000 soldiers, enough gunpowder, mines, etc. Although our defense force is small, we won't give up half a step."
Du Qi said: "Since you want six thousand, I will give you six thousand. Adding your previous six thousand, you will have 12,000 troops under your command, with a certain fighting power. When I kill Duan Zhixuan, this One fight wins."
Xiao Yuanqi said: "I understand the humble job."
He has already made arrangements now, he just needs to wait at Niulan Mountain.
Du Qi didn't waste any more time, mobilized the army, and rushed to the position of the army led by Duan Zhixuan. The troops led by Duan Zhixuan were mainly gathered on the western front of Niulan Mountain. There were 80,000 troops in this group.
Previously, Duan Zhixuan was going to Xia Guo, deliberately attracting Du Qi's attention. He walked halfway, and after a short rest, he turned around and retreated. In the middle of the night last night, Duan Zhixuan's army had already reached the front line of Niulan Mountain. It's just that Duan Zhixuan's army rushed all the way, and it was night, so they didn't attack Niulan Mountain immediately.
Until now, Duan Zhixuan didn't know that Du Qi had changed his strategy and was coming towards him. Duan Zhixuan's idea is very simple, that is to break through the Niulanshan army, and then cooperate with Li Shimin to take down Du Qi.
Duan Zhixuan led his troops on their way quickly, and when he was about to approach Niulan Mountain, suddenly the sentry sent by him returned and reported: "General Duan, Du Qi's army has arrived. The opponent has at least 80,000 people. Here we come."
When Duan Zhixuan heard this, he was a little surprised.
How can it be.
Du Qi's army was clearly in Guazhou City, how could it have left Guazhou City and appeared near Niulan Mountain.
Duan Zhixuan didn't know why, but he could only continue on his way. However, Duan Zhixuan continued on his way, and after less than a quarter of an hour, another scout came galloping, this is the??The sentry scout sent by Shimin early in the morning took a detour to Duan Zhixuan's side, and reported: "General Duan, there is a letter from His Majesty."
Duan Zhixuan took the letter and quickly browsed it. After he finished reading it, he realized that Du Qi had adjusted his strategy and had already given up Guazhou City to deal with him.
Li Shimin's order in the letter is very simple, that is, let Duan Zhixuan go all out to attack, block Du Qi's army from attacking, and strive to destroy Du Qi's army and win the battle smoothly. And Li Shimin also said in the letter that he was leading an army to Niulan Mountain to attack Du Qi with Duan Zhixuan.
In a word, Du Qi cannot be allowed to escape.
To completely defeat Du Qi.
After Duan Zhixuan finished reading the letter, he already understood it in his heart. With a serious expression on his face, he ordered the soldiers under his command to go all out, and Duan Zhixuan also said that Du Qi's army was about to escape ahead, so he ordered the soldiers to stop Du Qi and prevent Du Qi from escaping.
This is Duan Zhixuan's trick.
Du Qi's intention was to defeat him first, not to give up Guazhou and escape. But in fact Du Qi just gave up on Guazhou, and came in the direction of Xiaguo again. Under this premise, even if Duan Zhixuan changed his rhetoric and said that Du Qi had escaped, no soldiers refuted it, and no one even doubted it, because the Tang army was strong and strong.
The army set off and hurried on its way.
All soldiers have high morale.
?Because they thought that Du Qi was already defeated and could no longer stop the Tang army's attack. The two sides met each other, and within a short time, the two armies met. At this time, both sides tacitly did not shout, and directly ordered their respective attacks.
Sitting behind the town, Du Qi saw the two sides fighting in this vast place. Without hesitation, he looked directly at the guard Moledo beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Moledo, I will give you five thousand horses. You lead five Qian Jingqi, from our left flank, entered the opponent's army formation, rushed back and forth, and then cut off the opponent's big flag."
"yes!"
Morado clasped his fists in response.
At this time, he was carrying his golden hammer for beating the drum and urn, and the war horse under his crotch was also a special mount. Only such a steed horse can carry the power of Moredo.
He mobilized five thousand elite cavalry, and quickly rushed out from the left wing.
Du Qi looked at Xue Rengui at the side, and said: "Xue Rengui, you don't need to command anymore, lead your cavalry and charge out from our right wing. There is no need to hold back in this battle, and there is no need to leave behind. The attack is now, Destroy the opponent in one go. We have cavalry, infantry, and more troops than the opponent. In this battle, we will destroy the opponent's lineup in one go."
"yes!"
Xue Rengui immediately mobilized five thousand elite cavalry under his command to fight.
Du Qi looked at Ma Yuan again, and ordered Ma Yuan to lead his army to attack from the front of the Chinese army.
At this time, Du Qi dispatched all the troops under his command. All the cavalry and infantry went into battle to kill the enemy, and none remained. Under such a lineup, the offensive was like a tide and menacing.
By Du Qi's side, only Shangguanyi and others were left, less than a hundred people.
Du Qi was not worried about being attacked by surprise.
Right now it's a desperate game.
? On the battlefield, Mo Ledo, Ma Yuan, and Xue Rengui led the army. When the three armies attacked, the infantry and the infantry led by Duan Zhixuan met. Mo Ledo and Xue Rengui are different, both of them are peerless fierce generals, leading the army to charge, the offensive is unparalleled, like a plow sweeping a hole, constantly advancing.
The infantry of the Tang army could stop Ma Yuan's infantry, but under the attack of the cavalry, even if Duan Zhixuan had some cavalry under his command, and sent cavalry to block it, they couldn't stop it, and the line of defense was quickly destroyed.
The Tang army on the left and right flanks had already begun to be suppressed after fighting for less than half an hour.
Showing a trend of defeat. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
