I'm a marquis in Datang

Du Qi said: "Oh, what a pity!"

Li Shimin said: "What are you sighing for?"

Du Qi's eyes were sharp, and he said: "The reason why I sigh is because you, Li Shimin, have always claimed to love the people like a son. Why are your people now in dire straits and have been slaughtered by countless people. It's a pity that you don't I am willing to save your people, but I am also determined to start a war with me here."

Li Shimin said disdainfully: "Du Qi, stop talking nonsense like this. If you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end."

He was furious.

Du Qi was specifically trying to catch him and didn't let go.

Keep attacking him.

As far as the people in the country are concerned, life is indeed difficult.There were wars everywhere, especially the news of Li Shimin's defeat in this battle. The situation that had calmed down a little bit must be messed up again.

Du Qi tutted his head and said, "Li Shimin, you can't stop me."

Li Shimin said: "You will only know after you fight."

At this time, Li Shimin was angry, but in fact, he didn't panic much.Because according to Wei Shuyu's suggestion, he has already arranged gunpowder at Anrong Pass.Not only outside the pass, but also inside the pass, gunpowder was arranged.After discussing with Wei Zheng, Wei Shuyu and others, Li Shimin believed that Du Qi's weapons were going to be bombed, and that was to bomb the towers, not to

Bombing outside the city, so there is no such thing as premature detonation, so gunpowder is arranged outside the city.

After the war started, Du Qi's army kept coming, and they directly detonated the gunpowder outside the city.Although this weapon is not comparable to landmines, it can only be effective once.But even so, it's a bargain, and it's worth it.

Li Shimin continued: "Du Qi, if you have the guts, you can go ahead and attack. I'm here at Anrongguan, waiting for you to come. Aren't you very powerful and arrogant, come and attack!"

Du Qi narrowed his eyes.

Feel a little weird.

Li Shimin's words relayed this time are really weird, it seems that Li Shimin is eager for him to attack.

Could it be that there is some danger.

is waiting for him to go.

Du Qi raised his head and stared at the tower of Anrong Pass. Li Shimin must be closing at Anrong Pass right now.

Shangguanyi said: "Your Majesty, according to my suggestion, we should bomb first. After bombing the entire Anrong Pass, we will consider the attack. Anyway, with our mortars, it is enough to bomb Anrong Pass. The only Unfortunately, this Anrong Pass has now been reinforced. It is not easy to blow up Anrong Pass directly. We can only bomb the towers. Under the suppression of our weapons, our troops advance quickly. If we pass the Anrong Pass, we will definitely win this battle."

Du Qi looked it over carefully, nodded and said, "Arrange people to attack."

"Yes!"

Xue Rengui responded immediately.

With the mortars in place, they began to aim at the tower.Immediately, the first sound of the cannon came out, followed by the sound of the mortar firing, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the mortars continued to bombard one by one.

Li Shimin was on the tower, and when he heard the gunfire, he immediately ordered to take shelter.Even Li Shimin himself quickly hid himself, not daring to show his face.After all, under artillery fire, even if Li Shimin was the emperor and the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, there was nothing he could do about it.

Boom! ! !

Explosions kept ringing.

The sound of cannons rumbled, and the entire city tower was already filled with smoke and dust, and sand and stones splashed.Even some soldiers were bombed when they evaded, so that they were directly killed. Fortunately, the Tang army evaded, so even if some people were killed, it was only a very small number of people who were killed by the bombing, not everyone was bombed.

While the bombing continued, Xia Guo's soldiers had already rushed out.army

They spread out and rushed forward quickly. When they approached Anrong Pass, in the distance of Anrong Pass, Tang Jun directly ignited the fuse.

This fuse is buried underground.

As soon as the fuse is ignited.

Soon, the gunpowder closest to the fuse outside Anrong Pass was detonated, accompanied by the first explosion sound, followed by rumbling explosions one after another.

Outside the entire Anrong Pass, countless flames and smoke rose up, and the soldiers who rushed forward were constantly blown to the ground.It's just that such an area is not too big.

On the one hand, part of the area outside Anrong Pass is an official road, which is paved with cement roads, and it is difficult to bury gunpowder.Gunpowder can only be planted in areas that are not official.On the other hand, it was Li Shimin who was withdrawn. Weapons, gunpowder, etc. were damaged at the front line, and there was not much gunpowder in Anrong Pass.

Therefore, only within a hundred steps outside the Anrong Pass, there was an explosion of gunpowder.

Du Qi raised his eyebrows when he saw the explosion outside the pass.It is said that Li Shimin asked him to attack, there must be something tricky. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin's method here is to ambush gunpowder outside the pass, intending to blow up Du Qi's soldiers.

"Unfortunately, this method can only be used once."

A sharp look flashed across Du Qi's eyes, and he ordered: "Xue Rengui, pass on the order to attack with all your strength. There is only one explosion outside the city, and now attack with all your strength to directly capture Anrong Pass."

"Yes!"

Xue Rengui got the order and arranged the dispatch again.

With the order issued, another [-] troops were dispatched to join the fight again.With the intervention of this group of troops, they rushed forward quickly. In a short period of time, they made up for the losses caused by the bombing just now.

go up.

Li Shimin frowned slightly as he watched Xia Guo's army attack.Because when Xia Guo's army attacked, they were extremely fast and fierce, which made Li Shimin feel great pressure.

Chapter 1213 Breakthrough

break through

Wei Shuyu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, our military strength is only over ten thousand. If we want to guard Anrong Pass right now, it will inevitably cause huge losses. But if we don't guard Anrong Pass, our army will lose many people. So at the moment , the minister thinks it is not appropriate to guard it, because the Anrong Pass cannot be guarded. Let's withdraw!"

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, what we are going to do now is to fight against Du Qi near the Anrong Pass. As long as we don't withdraw directly, but fight in the pass, then Du Qi's army can only be for the time being. Near Anrong Pass, it is impossible to leave. So now, we evacuate to preserve our strength, this is the most critical."

The rest of the people, etc., have remonstrated.

All are advised to evacuate.

After all, Anrong Pass could not be defended if it was evacuated, so the best way was to retreat.

After hearing this, Li Shimin looked at the Xia soldiers who had come to kill him.Now less than half an hour has passed, some of Du Qi's troops have already started to climb the tower, and the soldiers guarding the tower are struggling to defend and resist.If Li Shimin insisted on resisting, he should be able to block it in a short time.

But this kind of resistance will inevitably consume countless troops, and will consume not much strength, so at the moment, it is impossible for Li Shimin to continue to consume strength, otherwise, once the strength is reduced, Li Shimin will not be able to do it even if he wants to fight.

"Withdraw!"

Li Shimin gave the order decisively.

After the order was conveyed, Li Shimin immediately withdrew with the army.With the withdrawal of the army, Xia Guo's army quickly seized control of Anrong Pass and opened the city gate.

At this time, Xue Rengui took the first step forward, and he was going straight to the city.But when Xue Rengui walked forward, Du Qi stopped Xue Rengui, and said in a deep voice: "Xue Rengui, Li Shimin never guarded the city. He is withdrawing now, be careful that there is also an ambush in the pass. In short, be careful. Send the auxiliary soldiers in the army , check the situation inside the pass first.”

"Yes!"

Xue Rengui responded immediately.
