I'm a marquis in Datang

So Du Qi's army is still indomitable in Suzhou.

There is no resistance at all.

The most important thing is that the people in Suzhou respect Du Qi very much.Because Du Qi arrived in Suzhou, the thousands of people in Suzhou lived a good life and were no longer oppressed and plundered by bandits.So Du Qi took Suzhou suddenly, and there was no resistance from the people, but many people welcomed Du Qi back to Suzhou.

After Du Qi learned about the situation in Jiuquan County, after a little thought, he roughly understood Li Ji's intentions.

It is to strengthen Jiuquan County.

Then go all out on defense.

Because all areas outside the city are paved with concrete roads.And the city is reinforced with steel bars, and then plastered with cement again, so even after the bombardment, it is impossible for the city to collapse even if part of it collapses.At this point, the only advantage of bombardment is the power to suppress the city.

After Du Qi figured it out, he didn't say anything for the time being. When it was almost noon and the army stopped to rest, Du Qi called Li Jing, Shangguanyi and others together, and talked about Li Ji's response and the changes in Jiuquan County.

After Du Qi finished talking about the situation, he finally said: "Li Ji's intention is to weaken the influence of our mortars. In fact, according to the current arrangement, it can indeed affect us. On this basis, what do you think should be done?" manage?"

Li Jing stroked the beard under his jaw, thinking quickly.

Li Ji responded, and they naturally had to respond.

It cannot be directly attacked by force.

Shangguanyi said in a deep voice: "Since the attack is not feasible, then we will encircle Jiuquan County. However, I believe that we should adopt an offensive strategy first. After bombing, we will

If not, then adopt the strategy of encirclement.In short, after Jiuquan County is isolated, it will be a breeze to destroy the enemy army in Jiuquan County. "

"It's not easy!"

Li Jing shook his head and said: "You must know that since Li Ji has made a defensive stance in Jiuquan County, he must be well-prepared for food, equipment and weapons. The opponent also has gunpowder. If we attack with all our strength, the opponent can counterattack. If we want to adopt an isolated strategy, I am afraid it will not be effective."

Shangguanyi said: "It's always good to try."

Li Jing stopped talking.

At least, he did not agree with Shangguanyi's suggestion.

Laiji suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have a plan, and it may be successful."

Chapter 1128 The Real Encirclement

real encirclement

Du Qi said, "What are you going to do?"

With sharp eyes, Laiji said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, since Li Ji has adopted a comprehensive defensive strategy in Jiuquan, Suzhou, then this time, we will use our tactics to completely block them and form a real encirclement."

Du Qidao: "How to block it?"

Lai Jizhengse said: "Li Ji built the city wall in Jiuquan County, and even paved concrete roads outside the city, making it impossible to dig and plant landmines in the entire area inside and outside the city. We are about a hundred steps outside the county seat of Jiuquan County. The scope is to build a wall with a height of more than half a person, mainly masonry, and then plastered with cement, and the thickness is reinforced to about one foot."

"The wall that is half the height of a person completely surrounds the entire Jiuquan."

"In this case, completely surround Li Ji.

In this way, we only need to guard the periphery.Li Ji became a lone army. If he broke through, it would be because of the surrounding wall.Our army can completely attack them with the help of walls, making it impossible for them to break out. "

Lai Ji continued: "If there are other troops from the Tang Dynasty who want to come to help, we can surround them again. No matter what, this is beneficial to us."

After hearing this, Du Qi's eyes lit up, he showed approval, and said with a smile: "Wonderful, wonderful! Although this method is simple, but this plan is effective."

After pondering for a while, Shangguanyi also praised: "Laiji's plan is indeed feasible."

Li Jing also said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Lai Ji's plan."

All the people agreed in agreement.

After the plan arrived, Du Qi ordered Shangguanyi to mobilize auxiliary soldiers and prepare cement, masonry, etc., so that the wall could be built quickly when he arrived.After lunch and a short rest, the army set off for the wine again.

Spring County to go.Du Qi's army was not far from Jiuquan County, but within a day's time, when it was almost noon the next morning, the army had already arrived outside Jiuquan County.

This time, Du Qi never stepped forward to speak out.

It is very simple action.

The auxiliary soldiers under his command moved quickly and began to build a masonry wall a hundred steps away from Jiuquan County.This wall is about five feet high and one foot wide. After the brick wall was built, it was reinforced with cement on the outside.

This scene fell on the tower.

Li Ji, Changsun Wuji and others who were hiding in the dark were a little stunned when they saw this scene.

Since I just started, I can't see anything.However, Xia Guo's auxiliary soldiers were on the move in all directions of the city, and after about a quarter of an hour, it was already possible to judge this intention.

After Li Ji understood Du Qi's intentions, he lost his voice and said, "Duke Qi, Prime Minister Wei, Du Qi wants to catch the turtle in the urn and block us all in Jiuquan County. With this circle of walls, our troops will go out of the city.

It is simply impossible.It is true that although we have sufficient food, weapons, equipment, etc. in the city right now, we will not be able to handle it after a long time!After all, there are so many people in the city who want to eat and drink, and there are so many soldiers.Du Qi's move was so ruthless! "

Changsun Wuji's complexion also turned serious.

It stands to reason that a Jiuquan County covers a rather vast area, and it would be a huge project to enclose the entire city in all directions.It is even said that some thankless efforts may not have a big effect.But this time, Du Qi really took this method and spent a lot of effort to block them in the city.

As a result, it is extremely difficult for them to act.

It is impossible to go out of the city at will.

After all, what was built outside the city was not an ordinary mud wall, nor a wooden fence standing on the ground, but a real cement wall.Especially from the tower, you can see the thick walls outside the city.Under such a wall, even if Li Ji had gunpowder under his command.But the bombing of gunpowder may not be effective.

If it is bombed now, it will not be easy to bomb because there are constructions in all directions outside the city.It's just a part of the bombing, and it can't be stopped at all.

Changsun Wuji sighed: "Director Li, we are in trouble again this time. Under the current situation, it may be even more difficult for us to turn the situation around. Especially once the wall is built, then if we want to go out of the city to fight, we must first Facing Du Qi's wall fortifications. They can use the wall to contend against us and stop our soldiers from leaving the city. We are really stuck in this urn now."

Wei Zheng also clenched his fists, with a serious expression, he even felt a little panic at this moment.

The situation is quite bad.

Wei Zheng thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Director Li, Du Qi's fortifications are currently under construction. If we choose to break through, we can still get out. If this wall is built to block us in, then When we break through the encirclement next time, then this wall will become Du Qi's fortress, which means that our breakthrough will become an advanced

Attacking, the opponent is defending, and can constantly attack us with the help of bunkers. "

Li Ji said in a deep voice: "Break out now, once Du Qibu lays an ambush, will we be attacked?"

Wei Zheng's mood sank.

As Li Ji said, Du Qi arranged this method, perhaps just waiting for them to go out.Once he went out to attack, he fell into Du Qi's arms.Moreover, their strength is insufficient, and once they attack, they will be at a disadvantage.

Wei Zheng said, "What should we do now?"

Li Ji said: "Our food and so on can last for at least four months. Right now, we will adopt a defensive strategy to delay the time first. Anyway, Du Qi built the wall like this, it is impossible to attack. First delay the time, and then, We will arrange people to go back to Chang'an to inform His Majesty, and His Majesty will make a decision."
