I'm a marquis in Datang

Chapter 1207 Desperate

Desperate

Early in the morning, the sun rises.

The sun in early October is no longer hot, and it is warm on people's bodies.The golden sun shone on the camp, making the bumpy camp covered with a layer of golden light.It's just that there are still dried bloodstains everywhere on the ground in the camp, and the corpses have already been picked up and taken away for disposal.

Last night, I was counting the losses.As soon as everything was counted and processed, it was already early in the morning.Xue Rengui, Xiao Yuanqi and Zuo Xianfeng, although their eyes were bloodshot due to staying up late, and although they were quite tired, their faces were full of excitement.

This battle destroyed the Tang army's vital strength.

Tang Jun no longer has the strength to fight.

The three of them came to the big tent of the Chinese army hand in hand, and saluted Du Qi together, Xiao Yuanqi took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, in the battle last night, after our counting, the number of Tang soldiers killed was as many as 13. In fact, there were not so many people who died originally, but many were seriously injured by the artillery fire, and it was already difficult to treat them, so they were killed directly."

"Now all the corpses have been burned."

"We captured more than [-] Tang troops. Our own losses were more than [-]. Our main loss was caused by resisting the Tang army's attack before."

When Xiao Yuanqi mentioned the results of the battle, he became even more excited: "We won a complete victory in this battle. It's a pity that we failed to win Li Shimin. If we win Li Shimin, it will have a greater impact on the Tang army."

Du Qi nodded and said: "Victory in this battle will completely establish Li Shimin's defeat. Datang now has no power to resist. The army

Rest for a day, and tomorrow morning our army will go to Longzhou and take down Anrong Pass.With our current military strength, it would be too easy to capture Anrong Pass. "

Xiao Yuanqi said: "Your Majesty is wise."

But Xue Rengui said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the soldiers under my command, although they have endured all night, are full of fighting spirit. Everyone can't wait to enter the territory of Tang Dynasty immediately, and go directly to Anrong Pass."

The left vanguard was brought out by Xue Rengui. Like Xue Rengui, he is a full-fledged militant.He also nodded, and said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers under your command are willing to participate in the battle, please allow your Majesty. Our people, even if they don't rest, still have full fighting power, enough to conquer Anrong Pass."

Du Qi waved his hand and said: "After staying up all night, we all went down to rest and recuperate. Tomorrow morning, we will send troops to Anrong Pass. There is no need to discuss this matter again, just make a decision like this

deal. "

"Yes!"

The three of them responded together.

After the three retreated, Du Qi walked out of the camp, and went to the camp to appease the injured soldiers as usual.It took more than half a day to walk down this circle alone.

One day is fleeting.

The next day, early in the morning.

Xia Guo's army broke out of camp and set off to kill in Longzhou.At this time, Li Shimin had already been stationed at Anrong Pass, but now Li Shimin's troops were only a mere [-].This has gathered some people along the way, but in the end there are only so many troops.It is impossible to defend Anrong Pass with more than ten thousand people resisting Du Qi's army.

Li Shimin stood on the tower, with melancholy eyes and a sad expression,

With a helpless look, he said: "Fang Qing, let's go back to Anrong Pass, and the next step is for Du Qi's army to arrive at Anrong Pass. How can we resist now?"

"Can't stop it!"

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although Du Qi's army suffered losses in the battle yesterday, at most it lost more than ten thousand people. But our army was completely lost, and now there are only more than ten thousand people by our side .Even if one after another, there will still be people coming back, but there can't be too many troops. It's not easy to defend Anrong Pass!"

Wei Zheng is also worried now. He sighed: "Your Majesty, I really can't hold on now. Once the news of the defeat in this battle spreads in the country, I am afraid that the situation in the country will further deteriorate and collapse. It is no problem for us to guard Chang'an , but it is difficult to hold the rest of the area. I am afraid that it will be difficult to control Gyeonggi-do."

Li Shimin slapped the city wall with a helpless expression.Because at the moment, he really can't do anything.Although the Anrong Pass is strong, Li Shimin is sure to block the [-] to [-] troops with more than [-] troops.But Du Qi has new weapons, and Anrong Pass can't hold it under the artillery bombardment. In the end, Anrong Pass will definitely collapse.

Li Shimin's eyes were even more worried.

Worry about how to stop Du Qi.

Worry about how to stabilize the domestic situation.

Li Shimin looked at the blue sky and said with emotion: "The situation in the world really changes in a blink of an eye, and it will be different in a blink of an eye. The battle between us and Du Qi is already on the verge of extinction. If there is no Du Qi, relying on our possession of gunpowder and other weapons, we will defeat the enemy." Neighboring countries and suppressing the domestic situation will not be so difficult. Now that there is Du Qi, it is very complicated. Regarding resisting Du Qi, what do you think should be done?"

Wei Shuyu said: "Your Majesty, can we treat this person in the same way?"

Li Shimin looked at Wei Shuyu and said approvingly, "How can I deal with him in the same way?"

Wei Shuyu said seriously: "It's actually very simple. We can arrange a lot of gunpowder downstairs. When Du Qi arrives, we will detonate the gunpowder. Even if we can't kill Du Qi, we will kill Du Qi's soldiers. We will arrange gunpowder along the way." Gunpowder, stop Du Qi. They can ambush gunpowder underground, so can we!"

Li Shimin thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to operate!"

Wei Shuyu said: "Why?"

Li Shimin never spoke first, Fang Xuanling had already said first: "The reason is very simple, we are guarding Anrong Pass, Du Qi will definitely bombard you first.

Anrong Pass.Under the intensive bombardment, if we had placed gunpowder underground at Anrong Pass, then Du Qi's artillery bombardment, once the gunpowder in the ground was ignited, the entire city might collapse, and we would be affected instead. "

Wei Shuyu shook his head and said, "Master Fang, we obviously can't defend Anrong Pass, why should we continue to guard it? Our army retreats directly, leaving a few soldiers in ambush nearby. As long as Du Qi's army, When we arrive at Anrong Pass in batches, we will detonate the gunpowder and kill Xia's soldiers."

After a pause, Wei Shuyu continued: "It would be the best if Du Qi could be killed. If it doesn't kill him, that's okay. Anyway, it's worth it to kill the soldiers of Xia Kingdom."

Fang Xuanling groaned slightly after hearing this, shook his head and said: "If this arrangement is made, some soldiers of the Xia Kingdom can indeed be killed. It's a pity that such a

The arrangement is only a slight delay, it is impossible to really stop Xia Guo's army.And this kind of thing is the first time it can achieve miraculous results.On the follow-up official road, Du Qi's army took strict precautions and inquired carefully. It would be difficult to bomb Du Qi again.In short, this kind of method is of little use. "

Wei Shuyu sighed when he heard the words, it was indeed as Fang Xuanling said, it is definitely impossible to defeat Du Qi.At most, it's just to disgust Du Qi.

The most important thing now is to win this battle.

Just how?

Wei Shuyu thought quickly in his heart, but after much deliberation, there was still no solution.Because at the moment, Wei Shuyu has nothing to do, Xia Guo's army is too strong, and the weapons are too powerful.It is almost impossible to stop Du Qi's army.

The general trend is already in the country of Xia.

Datang, lost to Xia Guo.

Li Shimin looked around at everyone, and there was no way to crack them all for the time being.The emotion in Li Shimin's heart was even heavier.Li Shimin thought for a while, then said: "Arrange it, and prepare to withdraw to Chang'an."

Wei Shuyu remonstrated: "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate to retreat."

Li Shimin said: "Why?"

Wei Shuyu said: "The reason is very simple. If we withdraw our troops now, Du Qi's army will be like a broken bamboo, and will fight all the way to the city of Chang'an. After all, after passing Anrong Pass, there is no force along the way that can resist Du Qi."

"The most important thing is that the major families in the pass have long been with

Du Qi is related.The big families with five surnames and Qiwang all sent their children to Xia Guo, as did the big families in the pass.Now that Du Qi is here, the major families will definitely support him. "

"It will be very easy for Du Qi to enter the master's place. So at the moment, I don't think we can retreat!"
