Outside Jiuquan City, Suzhou, Xiaguo Military Camp.
The army under Du Qi's command is still sitting here. It is now July, and the weather in early July is still hot. Especially in these areas where there is little rain, it is extremely hot during the day, and it is only slightly cooler at night.
After entering July, the situation in Jiuquan has actually deteriorated further.
?Because the common people are almost unable to bear it.
Even the soldiers stationed there lacked fighting spirit due to lack of food.
All of them were pale and thin.
The combat effectiveness is also impaired.
Du Qi knew about this, but he hadn't sent troops to attack yet. Because until now, he is still waiting for Li Shimin's army. Only when Li Shimin's army arrives can Du Qi completely resolve the battle. Li Shimin's army has been defeated again and again. If Li Shimin is defeated again this time, then Datang will lose even more troops, and even the turmoil inside Datang will be difficult for Li Shimin to suppress, so for Datang , This is an extremely critical battle.
And to Xia Guo, it is just as important.
As long as this battle is won, a solid foundation will be laid for Xia Guo to gobble up the Tang Dynasty in the future.
In Du Qi's army, the food for the soldiers is very good.
Even on weekdays, Du Qi would arrange for people to cook bone soup outside the city, and the fragrant fragrance would permeate the towers, which would make the hearts of the Tang troops stationed in Jiuquan City fluctuate.
Du Qi is currently inspecting the soldiers in the army.
?Because the training of soldiers has never been left behind on weekdays, and they have been practicing all the time.
When Du Qi was inspecting the soldiers, a soldier came to Du Qi's side and reported: "Your Majesty, the letter from General Arima has arrived, and the sentry has arrived at the gate of the camp."
Du Qidao: "Notify him to go to the big tent of the Chinese army."
"yes!"
The soldiers immediately went to deliver the order.
Du Qi also turned around immediately and went straight back to the big tent of the Chinese army. After a while, a sentry came in, bowed to Du Qiyi, and handed over the letter from Lai Ji.
Du Qi took the letter and quickly browsed it. After he finished reading the letter, his face was already filled with joy, because this letter contained news about Ma Yuan's victory in the war with Persia. In addition, there is also news that Ma Yuan requested to deal with Persia.
Du Qi immediately wrote a letter in which he answered Ma Yuan's request. He agreed to Ma Yuan's request and allowed Ma Yuan to send troops. In the letter, Du Qi authorized Ma Yuan and Laiji to make decisions without reporting.
It is equivalent to delegating power to two people.
Let the two of them be responsible for the battle against Persebraang City.
Du Qi handed the letter to the sentry and asked the sentry to go back and reply to Ma Yuan. When Du Qigang was about to arrange someone to notify Shangguanyi, Shangguanyi had already entered in a hurry.
Shangguan Yi saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I have received the news that Li Shimin has sent troops. This time Li Shimin mobilized a total of 200,000 troops. It is estimated that there are still three days to go to Suzhou."
Du Qi smiled and said: "Li Shimin should have received the news of Persia's sending troops, so Li Shimin sent troops. It's a pity that Li Shimin hoped that Persia would restrain us, but he didn't know that Persia's offensive was over. Persia sent a hundred thousand troops, but in The city of Dole was defeated, and Persia lost 70,000 people, and almost the entire army fled back."
Shangguanyi was shocked and said, "It's so fast?"
Du Qidao: "The Persian army launched an attack as soon as they arrived at Dolejian City. Then, Ma Yuan and Laiji set up an ambush in Dolejian City and won the battle. If it weren't for this, it wouldn't be long before Li Shimin sent troops from Chang'an. I have already got the news from Ma Yuan. There is a time difference. Thanks to Li Shimin's army in Chang'an, they were mobilized from Chang'an. If Li Shimin's army had already arrived in the Western Regions, then this battle would be different. "
Shangguanyi said: "Your Majesty's words are true."
Du Qi immediately arranged for someone to notify Li Jing and others to come. Not long after, Li Jing, Ma Zhou, Xue Rengui, Xiao Yuanqi and Guan Zhilan also arrived.
Du Qi said in a deep voice: "The offensive of the Persian army has been destroyed by Ma Yuan, and the Persian army retreated in a disastrous defeat. Now we don't need to consider the threat of Persia. Right now, we only need to go all out to deal with Li Shimin. According to the previous plan, Xiao Yuanqi stayed outside Jiuquan County, we will go forward and stop Li Shimin's army at the selected location."
The plan has been agreed before.
Just need to execute.
?The shout of ?? sounded.
More and more soldiers shouted.
More and more soldiers shouted.
The desire to take revenge has already been revealed. All the soldiers, united as one, no longer have the previous decline, no previous downfall, and everyone's fighting spirit has been raised.
At this moment, the soldiers under Li Ji's command seemed to be like a sharp sword, shining brightly.
There is no more decadence.
Li Ji saw that the fighting spirit of the soldiers had been ignited, and nodded with satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, he asked the soldiers under his command to disband, and then Li Ji took Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji back to the tower. Now they no longer need to defend, and then they only need to go all out to attack, so they have to adjust and prepare to fight with all their strength. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
