The mobilization of Li Shimin's army was quickly discovered by Du Qi's sentry outside the Tang army's camp. These sentries then quickly returned to Changbaipo to report the news.
Du Qi had already made preparations. Before Du Qi learned that Li Yuan committed suicide outside the camp, he had already made a prediction. Therefore, Du Qi's army was ready to fight on the entire front line of Changbaipo.
Du Qi came out of the tent and went to the front line of the mountain in person. Beside Du Qi, there were Xue Rengui, Shangguanyi, Li Jing and others, and they were all in place.
"Report!"
At this moment, a sentry came from behind.
The sentinel clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the army led by General Xiao Yuanqi has reached the front line behind Changbaipo."
Du Qidao: "Let him arrange for the soldiers to line up and rest."
"yes!"
Sentinel turned around and went down to notify.
After all, Xiao Yuanqi's troops lost a lot in the fierce battle in Jiuquan County, and each soldier was quite exhausted after the fierce battle. Even though he had rested for a while, in terms of combat effectiveness, he still couldn't compare with the soldiers around Du Qi . So now, it is the most appropriate arrangement for Xiao Yuanqi's soldiers to take a rest.
Du Qi continued to wait.
It didn't take long, Xiao Yuanqi had already arranged everything, and he came to Du Qi's side to salute in armor.
Du Qi nodded, then looked into the distance again.
Waiting quietly.
Boom! Boom! Boom! ! !
Suddenly, the sound of war drums resounding through the sky and the earth sounded. This sound came from a distance, and it was slowly approaching, from far to near. Du Qi heard the sound of the drum, picked up the binoculars in his hand, and looked at the official road in the distance. Although it was too far away to see the real situation of Tang Jun in the distance, he could vaguely see the advancing figures.
Tang Jun is here!
Before people arrive, the drums come first.
Time passed little by little, and after a while, the soldiers of the Tang Army who were advancing could be clearly seen. The dark Tang army was getting closer and closer to Changbaipo, but Du Qi looked at Xue Rengui and ordered: "Xue Rengui, order all the artillery to adjust the range of the mortar. Start shooting within four hundred steps. Immediately, without considering accurate shooting, let¡¯s bombard Li Shimin¡¯s army. After a burst of bombardment, Li Shimin¡¯s army has already started to attack. They want to kill at the foot of the mountain, and then gradually adjust the range of all mortars, and start shooting at the bottom of the hillside. In this battle, don't hold back and bomb with all your strength."
"yes!"
Xue Rengui made the arrangements immediately.
The positions and ranges of the mortars were adjusted. When the Tang army entered the front line of Changbaipo, less than 400 steps away, the bombardment had already begun. Only the rumbling sound of the artillery was heard. From the front line of Changbai Slope, shoot quickly. Cannonballs flew out of the air one after another, across the sky, and in a blink of an eye, they landed in the formation of the advancing Tang army.
Boom! boom! boom! ! !
Explosions, one after another.
The soldiers of the Tang army who were walking in the front had already been bombed. When a shell fell, the soil splashed, and the soldiers of the Tang Army were blown up into the sky, and when they fell to the ground, their life and death were already uncertain.
The explosion became more and more violent.
And countless soldiers of the Tang army were killed.
Countless people were killed.
The speed of the soldiers of the Tang Army started to speed up at once, no longer delaying time, but marching quickly, heading straight to Changbaipo. Even the soldiers of the Tang army who were originally gathered in a formation were completely dispersed, and they scattered their attacks on the front line of Changbaipo to avoid being too densely bombed.
Li Shimin, who was sitting in the rear, was surprised when he saw Du Qi's artillery that it started bombing at a distance of 400 paces. Because the last time he attacked Changbaipo, he waited until the army under his command reached the foot of the mountain before starting the bombardment.
At this moment, Li Shimin was shocked into a cold sweat.
so close!
If Du Qi's artillery used to bomb like this, it is very likely that he died under the artillery fire, because in the previous fight, Li Shimin entered within four hundred steps. Li Shimin watched the soldiers of the Tang army charge forward with a solemn expression, waiting quietly. Because what follows is the most tragic fight between the two sides.
The bombardment continued, but the soldiers of the Tang army continued to advance. In a short time, they had already reached the foot of the mountain and began to attack on Changbai slope. It is also quite dense. Group after group of soldiers attacked, because when they rushed up, some soldiers stepped on the landmines, and when the landmines exploded, they were immediately killed.
Casualties were enormous.
But even so, Tang Jun still rushed forward. For this attack, the higher-ups issued a death order, only attacking, not retreating, once retreating, there will be no mercy.
Therefore, under the bombardment and landmine bombardment, the soldiers of the Tang army rushed to the front of the dug trench and kept advancing. Although it was bombed by grenades, the Tang army continued to advance.
In the process of advancing, there were countless casualties.
However, under the tactics of the Tang army's sea of ??people, they finally reached the bottom trench, and the two sides fought hand-to-hand.
In this fight, everyone went all out.
The soldiers under Du Qi's command have all been encouraged by Du Qi, and even if they defeat Datang in this battle, they will go to the territory of Datang and make meritorious deeds. with.
Tang's army was too numerous to advance even an inch.
Li Shimin was sitting in the rear, and he noticed the battle situation on the front line. Although he knew that the previous advance had suffered countless losses, Li Shimin at this time didn't care about it at all. What he cared most about was that the two sides had already started fighting.
He has a large number of people, so he can definitely be killed.
Definitely win.
The fighting continued.
Along with the casualties of the Tang army, the trenches under Changbaipo Mountain also fell one by one, but every fall was accompanied by countless corpses of the Tang army.
Time passed by little by little.
In a blink of an eye, night fell, and a full moon rose into the sky. Although it was shrouded in moonlight, Changbaipo was blurred under the moonlight, and the visibility was not high, and it was not very clear. Therefore, on the side of the Tang Army and on Changbaipo Mountain, each torch has been lit one by one. Countless torches burned to dispel the darkness, making the entire Changbaipo as bright as day.
The fighting is still going on.
Under the moonlit night, there was constant shouting and killing, and the Tang army kept coming to the mountain to slaughter, while the army on Du Qi's side was guarding tightly, not giving up any position. Even if the trench position is lost in a short period of time, it will be regained in the end, making the fight between the two sides even more anxious.
Xiao Yuanqi had been by Du Qi's side all the time, and he said, "Your Majesty, the fight is in full swing right now. All the soldiers under your command have rested and are requesting to join the battle."
Du Qi said: "Don't worry, just wait. The army under Xue Rengui has never been dispatched, why are you so anxious. The current battle has just begun. Li Shimin wants to attack with all his strength. I will accompany him to the end. I want to see , who can't hold on first."
Xiao Yuanqi said no more.
Xue Rengui commanded calmly, and the troops he commands now are not weak. Although more than 10,000 people were lost in the last fight, but now he still has more than 60,000 elites in his hands, which is enough to resist.
Moreover, for the current fight, Xue Rengui dispatched only about 30,000 troops.
Thirty thousand people blocked the Tang army's attack.
When Xue Rengui needed assistance, he immediately dispatched soldiers to resist, and that was enough.
The entanglement and fighting between the two sides has continued.
When the eastern sky turned pale, the sky began to brighten. On the Changbaipo Mountain, there was a bloody smell all over the mountain, and corpses fell to the ground one after another.
There were countless casualties.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties.
Li Shimin also stayed up all night, and his mood is still extremely angry now, thinking of breaking through the area where Du Qi is. Li Shimin looked at Yu Shinan, and ordered: "Yu Qing, pass down the order and send another 50,000 people up."
"I obey!"
Yu Shinan got the order and arranged it.
Following another 50,000 army rushing forward, the influx of black troops caused the pressure on Xia Guo's army to increase sharply on Changbai Slope. In yesterday's battle, more than 60,000 Tang troops participated in the battle. Now more than 50,000 people have been sent to join the battle, mobilizing most of the Tang army's strength, and every Tang army is already red-eyed.
Xue Rengui was commanding on the mountain. When he saw Tang Jun coming up again, he grinned.
His chance has come.
? Xue Rengui arranged a deadly battle to resist, in order to consume the Tang army and at the same time weaken the strength around Li Shimin. Now that Li Shimin's troops are weakened, Xue Rengui will have a chance. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
