    ?

    The army under Du Qi's command lined up, and he rode forward again.  Du Qi stood in front of the formation, looked up at the tower, and shouted: "Where is Li Ji?"

    Li Jiren was on the tower, and he saw the dark army of the Xia Kingdom outside the city, but he didn't panic at all. On the contrary, Li Ji's face was full of excitement.

    As a general, it is a soldier's honor to be able to shroud a corpse in horse leather.  In particular, he was even more happy to be able to fight Du Qi.  Unlike Li Jing, Li Ji is already in his sixties.  Li Jing is getting old, and because he has made too many meritorious deeds, he has too many constraints in his tenure in Datang.

    Li Ji is different, he has great ambitions, he also wants to make meritorious service, and he also wants to show off his might on the battlefield.

    Li Ji took a deep breath, ready to speak.  But at this time, he couldn't show his face directly, but hid in the city and shouted, because once Du Qi confirmed his location through the voice, he might directly bomb the tower.

    So I only shouted and didn't show up.

    In this way, Du Qi could not determine his location.

    It is impossible to bomb directly.

    Li Ji replied: "Du Qi, I didn't expect that after so many years, you and I met on the battlefield. It was such a scene. I think back then, you and I were under the command of General Manager Li, and under the control of General Manager Li, we fought against the Turks and destroyed the Turks.  Turks, take down Jieli Khan. I didn¡¯t expect to see you now, but it¡¯s actually a meeting of swords and soldiers.¡±

    Du Qidao: "It's really a hero who sees the same thing. I also want to say that you fought with me as a comrade in the past. Now, you are fighting with each other. Li Ji, you are a smart man. You know the current state of the country. The Tang Dynasty can't stop me.  Xia Guodong is out. You directly open the city and surrender, and I will grant you the title of Duke of the founding of the country."

    Li Ji laughed loudly, and said after a while: "Du Qi, you want to exchange hundreds of thousands of Tang troops with a founding duke. This deal is too cheap. Du Qi, if you want to take this Shazhou City, you can  First step on my body, Li Ji. I, Li Ji, was born in Datang, and I am a ghost of Datang when I die. I am not like that old man Li Jing, who is weak and willing to surrender. I, Li Ji, will never surrender. Loyal ministers are nothing  Lord, Du Qi, if you surrender, you will be exempted."

    Du Qi said: "I didn't expect that even you, Li Ji, became a loyal minister. How funny! If people like Changsun Wuji are loyal, then that's all. Although Changsun Wuji is vicious and vicious, I just see  It's not eye-catching, but his loyalty is undeniable. You, Li Ji, joined Wagang early in the morning to work for Li Mi. Then you followed Li Mi, defected to Yue Wang Yang Tong, and finally defected to Datang. Your former master was Li Mi, you  But he switched to Datang, why not continue to be loyal to Li Mi?"

    Li Ji's face suddenly changed slightly.

    ? He used to follow Li Mi, and finally returned to Datang. It was forced by the situation, not his will.

    This is the general trend.

    It's not something he can control.

    Li Ji said in a deep voice: "Everyone says that Du Qi is eloquent, and today I have witnessed it. Once I followed Li Mi, it was because of the situation, and I couldn't help myself. Du Qi, don't use your tongue.  The advantage. Don¡¯t you have a powerful weapon, come, let me take a look and see if you can take this Shazhou City.¡±

    He directly invited the battle.

    Because at the moment, Li Ji is fully prepared to fight Du Qi.

    Du Qi smiled and said: "Li Ji, you really can't wait! That's fine, I'll help you."

    As soon as he beckoned, Xue Rengui immediately made arrangements.

    One by one, the mortars were quickly adjusted to aim at the tower.  At this time, Li Ji, Changsun Wuji, and the rest of the civil and military generals on the tower all retreated to avoid being bombed.

    "Boom!!!"

    The first mortar fired.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

    Mortars bombed the towers one by one.  When the shells fell on the tower, the bombardment exploded.  Especially this time, the bombing was aimed at the gate of the city, and the rest of the places were not bombed.  The city of Shazhou City, like Guazhou City, is not strong. Under the continuous bombardment, the city wall collapsed and the city gate opened soon.

    After a while, smoke and dust rose everywhere.

    A corner of the city wall was already vacant, and it was directly bombarded to collapse.  Because of the collapse of the city, there were loopholes in the defense, but there were troops gathered in the city, which were specially placed to be attacked.

    Li Ji is still on the tower.

    He looked out of the city with anticipation in his eyes.  Because next, as long as Du Qi enters the city and he leads the army to withdraw, he can detonate the gunpowder in the city.

    At that time, the entire county will be like an earthquake, and countless places will collapse.  At that time, Du Qi's army will inevitably suffer countless losses.  And if he returns with his army, he will be able to win in one battle.

      This is Li Ji's plan.

    In Li Ji's expectation, Du Qi's army outside the city was still in formation and never sent troops to attack.

    Li Jixia is a little confused?

    what happened.

    Du Qi bombed a lot, only breaking the city gate, but no longer attacking.  Such a situation is surprising and even more incredible.  While Li Ji was waiting, the smoke cleared, and Du Qi stepped forward again. He looked at the tower and shouted: "Li Ji, are you waiting for me to attack, and then retreat immediately."

    Li Ji had a bad premonition in his heart.

    His strategy of inviting the king into the urn.

    It doesn't seem to work anymore.

    Li Ji said coldly: "Du Qi, my commander's army is here. If you want to attack, then attack directly. I want to see how you can attack."

    Du Qi said: "No, there is no need to attack. The army I am leading now is stationed outside this city. Then, by the way, attack the surrounding areas first. Li Ji, you must not have much food in this city. I will wait for you  The army of the city will go out, and then we will fight outside the city."

    Li Ji's complexion changed suddenly.

    It is true that there is not much food and grass in the city.

    It is the judgment of Li Ji, Changsun Wuji and others that they can support food and grass within ten days at most.  Because Li Ji, Changsun Wuji, and Wei Zheng had made a strategy of inviting the king into the urn in advance, they had already adjusted their strategy and moved away the equipment and food in the city.  Although there is still some food and equipment in the city, they are a small number.

    After all, the group of people did not regard Shazhou City as a place where they have been arrayed.

    However, Li Ji also knew that he couldn't reveal his secrets, so he said, "Du Qi, if you want to line up outside the city, then it's up to you. My army is here waiting for you."

    Du Qidao: "Li Ji, you are strong on the outside but on the inside. Don't worry, I am waiting for you. Outside the gates of the Sifang City, I will leave troops to guard it. It is impossible for you to break through the siege quietly."

    "Withdraw!"

    Du Qi gave the order directly.

    As soon as the army was in formation, it began to retreat again, but the distance of this retreat was very short, only about two miles away.  The rest of the army was stationed in the follow-up, stretching for several miles.  Moreover, when Du Qi was stationed, he did place soldiers at the gates of the rest of the cities to watch over him. Once Li Ji made any moves, Du Qi would respond and send troops to cover up and pursue him.

    Du Qi's arrangement actually made Li Ji very embarrassed, and he pinched Li Ji's seven inches with one move.

    Li Ji wants to guard, but the problem is that his main food and grass have been transported away.  The grain and grass in the city cannot last long.  If Li Ji wants to give up Shazhou City, Du Qi's army will rush up like tigers and leopards as soon as he leaves the city, besieging and killing Li Ji's troops, and Du Qi still has elephant soldiers.

    Even though there were elite cavalry in Li Ji's army, the cavalry couldn't bear it at all under the charge of the elephant soldiers, and they were crushed as well.

    Li Ji is now in a dilemma.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
