As night falls, the full moon rises into the sky. Tonight's moon is extraordinarily round, and the bright moonlight is falling down, covering the whole earth with a layer of mist, which seems to be real and unreal. Although the visibility at night is not high, it is not completely dark. This kind of night is conducive to marching. The only downside is that spring begins in February, but the spring is cold, especially at night when the cold wind is biting.
Shazhou City, the gate of the city.
The army under Li Ji's command has been assembled, and the mighty army is full of vigor.
? During the day, Li Ji personally lectured all the soldiers and encouraged their morale, so that all the soldiers in the army were already in high spirits, high-spirited fighting spirit, and prepared to fight with all their strength.
Therefore, the soldiers are united as one.
Following Li Ji's order to send troops, the army quickly rushed out.
The black army is rushing on the ground. If you look down from a height during the day, you can see a torrent of troops on the wide official road, moving forward quickly, going straight to Du Qi's camp. It's just that when this army is rushing forward, it gradually divides its troops, and one by one the troops go to various places. In the end, there were only 50,000 troops left around Li Ji.
This is Li Ji's arrangement.
Attack from all directions.
Du Qi's weapons can be placed at the gate of the camp to hinder the attack at the gate of the camp. But it is difficult to hinder in other aspects. As long as the other aspects of the attack have made a breakthrough and the army enters it, hand-to-hand combat can be launched, and Li Ji will have a chance to win.
When Li Ji's army arrived outside the camp, Li Ji directly dispatched catapults to aim at the camp in front and the position outside the camp, and then ordered to drop gunpowder to attack.
Cans of gunpowder flew through the air, and fell to the ground in a blink of an eye, and exploded when they landed at the gate of the camp. The continuous explosions caused flames to rise, and troops gathered in the camp to prepare for the battle.
Li Ji's bombardment lasted for a quarter of an hour. The reason for this is to avoid landmines on the road ahead. Once the gunpowder explodes, the landmines on the ground can be weakened to the greatest extent.
The fence at the gate of the camp will also be blown flat.
When this goal is achieved, Li Ji's army will not be blocked from attacking. In particular, the 50,000 elites around Li Ji were also scattered to avoid being bombarded. Although there is not enough vision at the moment, looking from the inside of the camp to the outside, you can't see the situation in the distance, and Du Qi's weapon can't be aimed, but Li Ji is extremely cautious.
After the bombardment ended, Li Ji ordered an attack.
The troops from all directions rushed out and went straight to the former army camp. At this time, the Tang army under Li Ji's command also began to attack around the camp. Liu Hongji, Qu Tutong, Qin Qiong and other generals in the army led their respective troops and continued to attack to enter the camp. under attack.
Du Qi had expected the battle at night. He immediately dispatched the army under his command to stop and fight, and the armies of both sides fought in the camp.
Du Qi's mortar was useless in such a fight.
Fortunately, in the afternoon, the mortar had been moved, after all, it was useless to leave the mortar behind. In addition, large quantities of weapons such as food and equipment have already been transferred.
In the camp, there was no equipment for a long time.
The soldiers under Du Qi's command resisted for a while, and about half an hour later, the troops staying in the camp had already voluntarily withdrawn, and Du Qi also led the army to leave, giving up the camp.
Du Qi's army withdrew first, but there were soldiers from the Tang army chasing after them. When all the soldiers under Du Qi's command left the camp, some of the soldiers of the Tang army in the rear also came out.
But these are a minority.
Most of the Tang army is still in the camp and has not yet come out. After Du Qi withdrew, he stopped evacuating and ordered: "Shoot the rockets and send an order to ignite the fire."
The orderly immediately arranged for it.
"Phew!"
A moment later, a rocket lifted off, and after the rocket lifted off, it exploded in the air. Accompanied by the explosion of the rocket, lurking soldiers began to appear in all directions of the entire camp, and quickly ignited the fuses on the edge of the camp. Underground throughout the camp, passages were dug to lay gunpowder.
Once the gunpowder is ignited everywhere, the gunpowder will explode one after another, and the entire camp will be covered. Under such an explosion, it will inevitably cause the greatest damage to Tang Jun.
"Boom!!"
The first gunpowder exploded.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
Successive explosions began to appear in all directions of the camp. The explosion blazed into the sky, and the fireworks in the dark night were extremely beautiful.Bright, with a frightening firelight.
Du Qi saw this scene and knew that the first battle was over.
It's a big deal.
The soldiers under Du Qi's command were all excited, because this battle was different from the previous fights. The fight in the past was a contest between the two armies. The two sides continued to invest in troops, and it depended on who was the first to be unable to support it. In hand-to-hand combat, the competition is a contest of will and strength, and whoever survives to the end will win.
Right now, the explosion here is extremely violent. Under the explosion of countless gunpowder, people will die immediately.
It can be called violent.
But hearty.
On the other side, some of the Tang troops who chased out of the camp with Du Qi were not affected by the explosion of gunpowder, but under the continuous explosion, the soldiers in the rear were turned on their backs, and they were blown upside down one by one. There was a rumbling explosion behind them, and the mud was flying in front of them, and finally one by one corpses fell to the ground.
Seeing that the timing was right, Du Qi decisively ordered to cover up the past, and immediately started to counterattack, covering up and killing the soldiers of the Tang army who had come out.
For a time, there were countless casualties!
This is simply massacre.
It is the most vicious and merciless massacre.
In the camp at this moment, Li Ji had already heard the explosion. He looked around, saw the flames from the explosion in the distance, and felt that the explosion was constantly spreading to the center of the camp.
I got it right!
Li Ji made a judgment at once.
At this moment, Li Ji's heart sank to the bottom. He originally set up traps and planted gunpowder in Shazhou City. As long as Du Qi's army enters Shazhou City and takes Shazhou City, he can detonate the entire Shazhou City, causing Du Qi's army to be buried in Shazhou City. In the state city.
It's a pity that Du Qi didn't fall for it.
Now he led the army to take the initiative to attack, but was tricked by Du Qi. On the contrary, Du Qi arranged gunpowder in the camp. Under the continuous explosion, his army was already in trouble.
"Withdraw troops, withdraw troops quickly!"
Li Ji suddenly shouted.
A group of generals in the army who followed Li Ji also retreated quickly, and they did not dare to charge forward again. When Li Ji started to retreat to the gate of the previous camp, he encountered an explosion along the way.
Many soldiers under Li Ji's command were killed. Li Ji was almost killed in the bombing, but thanks to the guards around him who pushed him away from the explosion area, he escaped.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
"rush out!"
"We can't die here."
Li Ji shouted while running.
His face was already covered with mud, because of the explosion around him, countless mud was kicked up on the ground, and his body was dirty. And after falling down a few times, his clothes were covered with mud, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
In Li Ji's mind, there was no time to think about retreating. Because at the moment, the only thing he can consider is to escape and withdraw from this area. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
