Du Qi personally led the expedition, and led the army from Pandu County to the border of Wakada County. When the army came to the border, they did not directly invade the Ming country, but temporarily stationed in formation.
The time has entered February, and the weather is getting warmer and warmer.
The chill is gradually receding.
The past few days have been sunny and the weather is pleasant and comfortable.
After all, Du Qi had already received news that, on the Ming side, Gurha of Ming had personally led the army, and had already charged towards him, preparing to meet the army led by Du Qi.
In the barracks, Liu Che was in charge of training the soldiers.
Although they are stationed now, the training volume of the army has not been reduced, and the daily training is still carried out.
Du Qi is reading a book in the big tent of the Chinese army.
Today's era, unlike later generations, has a variety of entertainment methods. Even if you stay at home, you can know the news all over the world and have fun.
In this era, when you stay at home, you can only read books, at most play chess and so on.
No one in the army played chess with Du Qi.
After all, King Luo Bin has sneaked into the imperial capital of the Ming Kingdom with people now.
When Du Qizheng was reading, Liu Che entered in a hurry, dressed in armor. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Du Qi and saluted, "Your Majesty."
Du Qi asked: "What's the matter?"
Liu Che said: "Just received the news that Gurha led an army of 30,000 troops and was approaching the border. The army led by Gurha was stationed about ten miles away from us. In this battle, we have more than 20,000 troops. Thirty thousand. In terms of the number of troops, we are still slightly weaker now."
Du Qi chuckled lightly, not taking it seriously, and said: "The difference of about 10,000 is nothing to worry about. With such a difference, we can still win. Today's fighting does not depend on fighting on the battlefield, but depends on the strength of the army." Weapons, and the planning and layout of the army. We choose to defend for the time being, and we will see how the opponent responds first."
Liu Che said: "The general will understand."
After a pause, Liu Che said: "Speaking of which, Mr. Luo has sneaked into Hongshan County with Qiu Ye now. I guess, he has already begun to plan the layout."
Du Qi said: "It's not so fast. Anyway, Gu Chengye is the son of Gurha and the only heir of the Ming Kingdom. There must be many guards around him. Even if King Luo Bin wants to act, he can't do it in a short time." of."
"Boom! Boom!!"
Suddenly, the majestic war drum sounded.
The sound of drums rumbled from afar.
The sound of drums one after another, from far to near, gradually approached the camp.
Upon hearing this, Liu Che raised his brows and said, "Your Majesty, Gurha must have personally led the army to attack. Unexpectedly, they led the army to attack right after they arrived in front of us to set up camp."
Du Qi also stood up and said with a smile, "Let's go and have a look."
"yes!"
Liu Che responded immediately.
After Du Qi took Liu Che out of the barracks, he immediately came to the front camp.
Outside the camp, there is already a large army lined up.
It was the army led by Gulha.
The 30,000 elite soldiers under Gulha's command are neatly organized, and each soldier is high-spirited. When he was in Hongshan County before, in order to encourage the soldiers under his command, Gurha had given out extremely generous awards.
As long as you kill the enemy on the battlefield, you will be rewarded, so until now, the soldiers under Gurha's command are eager to fight.
Want to earn rewards.
After all, money touches people's hearts.
Gulhace stepped forward immediately, he stood in front of the battle, and shouted: "Where is Xia Guodu Qi, this king Gurha."
Du Qi smiled lightly.
interesting!
This Gurha actually wants to shout out.
You must know that in this era, although it is still relatively primitive, there has been artillery fire anyway. Especially in the army under Du Qi's command, there are already mortars, etc., and the weapons are relatively powerful.
It is very easy to be bombarded if you come to shout at this time.
It is tantamount to courting death.
However, Gurha came to the front of the battle to speak out in person.
Du Qi's eyes were sharp. After thinking for a while, he looked at Liu Che beside him, and said, "Liu Che, go and mobilize the artillery, set up mortars, and prepare to bombard Gurha. I'll hold him here. Just send him back to the west with one shot. He came to fight and asked for his own death."
"yes!"
Liu Che chuckled.
If you can grab Luo? Withdraw to camp.
Then, Zhang Ji asked, "How is your lord?"
"The king is fine!"
At this time, not far from Zhang Ji, Gurha, who was carried on the back of a soldier, woke up. It's just that his body is extremely uncomfortable now.
Gurha said: "Zhang Qing, thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you, this king would be dead."
Zhang Ji said: "This is what I should do."
Gurha's face was full of anger, because he really didn't expect that Du Qi would be such a chicken thief. On the one hand, he kept talking to him, but on the other hand, he was secretly targeting and shooting at him.
Fortunately, Zhang Ji was well prepared.
Otherwise, it's over.
Gulha felt a little uncomfortable, so he stopped talking and let the soldiers retreat with their backs on their backs.
There was still Liu Che's army chasing after him. For a while, countless soldiers who fell behind were killed or injured. Fortunately, the distance from the front line to the camp where the Ming army was stationed was only ten miles.
The soldiers ran wildly, and in a short time, they were already close to the camp.
At this time, the pursuers in the rear had already retreated.
Everything, temporarily stabilized.
When the army returned to the camp, they quickly regrouped and assumed a defensive posture. It's just that the chasing army had already retreated directly, so they couldn't see the chasing troops behind.
Gurha went back to the Chinese army tent to rest and recuperate. Although Zhang Ji was suffering from physical discomfort, he had no time to recuperate for the time being.
In a short period of time, Zhang Ji figured out all the situations and knew the losses in this battle, but he was quite helpless in his heart. He never thought that going to the front line once would cause such a huge loss.
It's a big loss.
After Zhang Ji appeased the soldiers, he went to the main tent of the Chinese army to report the news to Gurha and explain the losses of this battle. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
