I'm a marquis in Datang

A group of people had lunch and continued on their way after a short rest.Time passed, and in the blink of an eye a day and a half passed, Du Qi and his party had arrived at the county seat of Rouyuan County

.

Du Qi specially stopped and visited around to find out that there is no major problem in Rouyuan County now.During this period, bad people in the front have sent back news that all the people under Hou Junji's command have quietly gathered in Fenggu Valley to ambush.

The location of the action is in the Valley of the Wind.

Shangguanyi was extremely excited when he heard the news.Because all the plans were carried out according to what he deduced at the beginning.As expected, Hou Junji sent troops, and arranged for people to lay an ambush in Fenghe Valley.

Shangguan Yi said: "My lord, the fish has already bit the hook. According to the established plan, the army led by Xue Rengui and others in the rear will move at a slower speed because they are hiding their whereabouts and moving around day and night. I think we can let it go for a while. Slow down the speed of going to Fenggu Valley. After the army led by Xue Rengui and others arrives, first destroy the ambushes in Fenggu Valley, and then quickly send troops into the territory of Guazhou. At that time, Hou Junji can be caught off guard."

Du Qi said: "In fact, there is no need to wait, because there is no need to wait for Xue Rengui and others."

Shangguanyi said: "Why?"

Du Qi explained: "I've been thinking about when to attack Guazhou City on a large scale. This king thought about it, and we don't need to rush to attack Guazhou right now. Because our attack on Guazhou is not about attacking Guazhou. The city is plundering land, but it is to frighten the Tang Dynasty."

""The most important thing is that when we wiped out Hou Jun who was ambushing in the valley of wind and valley

After setting up the ambush, no matter how fast we go, the news will be sent back to Guazhou first, and Hou Junji will be prepared. "

"It's not easy to raid."

"So my plan is, after taking down the ambush in Wind Valley, we will temporarily stand still and pretend to ignore Hou Junji's ambush. Let's wait for a while, and wait until Hou Junji relaxes his vigilance after seeing that we have not made any movement, and then we will not send troops. Late."

Du Qi said: "Furthermore, this time difference also proves that we are temporarily deploying our troops, not that we have deployed means long ago to plot against Hou Junji. When Li Shimin arrives with his troops, these time differences are the evidence to hate Li Shimin."

"The Great Xia Kingdom, where I, Du Qi, did not take the initiative to provoke trouble, it was Hou Junji who took the initiative to provoke trouble."

"Li Shimin fought us in vain, so he had to be dumb again and apologize. Li Shimin swept the world, was invincible, and had a strong influence. But if he lost again and again, then Li Shimin's influence would be greatly reduced. Gradually weakened."

Du Qi said: "This is our intention."

Shangguanyi praised: "Your Majesty is wise."

Du Qi's considerations were meticulous, and he had already considered the subsequent arrangements, and Shangguanyi had no objections.

When Laiji and Ma Zhou heard the words, they also agreed.After the general plan was finalized, several people were talking and laughing, talking about Hou Junji's trouble this time, and laughter kept coming and going.

Chapter 931

Zhou Ziqing was tricked

Wind Valley is only thirty miles away from the county seat.For such a distance, if you drive at full speed from Rouyuan County, you can reach Wind Valley in less than half a day.

Du Qi and his party deliberately slowed down their journey and it took longer.But for Zhou Ziqing, who was ambushing in the Valley of the Wind, he had enough patience.No matter how fast Du Qi was, as long as Du Qi came in the direction of Wind Valley, there would be no problem.

Zhou Ziqing and his party of more than a thousand people have been waiting quietly on the mountains on both sides of Fenggu Valley.

On the hillside, the sun was shining.

Basking in the scorching sun was very uncomfortable.In such a scorching hot weather, it would be fine if it was under the shade of a tree, as it wouldn't feel so hot.But the terrain of Wind Valley is different, the rocks on both sides have been weathered, and there are no trees and jungles.

So it is very uncomfortable to be in the sun.

Even so, Zhou Ziqing and his party still waited.

At the position where Zhou Ziqing was waiting, the soldiers around him were already dripping with sweat.Beads of sweat kept oozing from his forehead, and then slid down his face.Even layers of skin had fallen off the faces of many soldiers.Because lurking in the Wind Valley for the past few days, the environment is really harsh, so that it has become like this.

"Report!"

At this moment, a soldier ran quickly.

The soldiers came to Zhou Ziqing's side and reported: "General, there is the latest news. Du Qi and his party are less than ten miles away from Wind Valley. They are about to arrive at Wind Valley. The opportunity we have been waiting for a long time, come gone."

"Good, good, good!"

Zhou Ziqing's face was full of excitement.

If Du Qi could be killed, or captured alive, Zhou Ziqing would become famous all over the world.For Datang, he also made a great contribution, and such a contribution is enough for him to advance several levels in succession.

Zhou Ziqing ordered: "Pass down the order, and everyone is on guard. As soon as Du Qi's team arrives, we will attack directly. This time, we will use our superiority in strength to quickly take down Du Qi."

"Yes!"

The orderly made arrangements immediately.

The rest of the soldiers who came with Zhou Ziqing also got excited.Among the thousand soldiers, most of them had experienced a battle with Du Qi. Many of them hated Du Qi even more after seeing how powerful Du Qi was.Now they have a chance for revenge, so many people look forward to it.

Time passed by little by little, but the sun gradually moved westward, because it was already past the afternoon time.Fortunately, the sun was so hot at this time that it was no longer shining on people at noon, and each of the soldiers of the Tang Army breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Zhou, someone is here."

While Zhou Ziqing was concentrating on waiting, suddenly, a soldier beside him reminded him in a low voice.

Zhou Ziqing said, "I see."

His gaze had already landed on the official road under the Wind Valley.More than a hundred cavalry guards surrounded and protected a carriage that Du Qi was in, and the group moved forward slowly.However, there was another carriage behind Du Qi's carriage. Zhou Ziqing thought it was for Shangguanyi and the others, and felt that it was reasonable.

Wheels!Wheels!

The carriage continued to move forward, slowly.

When this team arrived at the foot of the mountain, less than [-] steps away from Zhou Ziqing's position, Zhou Ziqing suddenly stood up and shouted: "Bowmen, release the arrows!"

As soon as he gave an order, crossbowmen immediately released arrows from the hillside.At the same time, two large stone balls rolled down, each with a diameter of more than ten feet.One left and one right rolled down the mountain, heading towards Du Qi's team.

The crossbow arrows hit first, but fortunately the soldiers of the Forbidden Army under Du Qi's command were already prepared.They directly took out the shields from their horses and shielded them, only to hear the sound of ding ding, and the feathered arrows fell down.Even so, several soldiers were shot by crossbow arrows and fell to the ground, dying under the arrows on the spot.

Fortunately, the soldiers under Mordo's command are well-trained and have already died.

Ling, now that he is attacked, he rushes forward quickly to get rid of the attacking crossbow.Immediately afterwards, a stone ball rolled down, but the opponent had already run away, so the stone ball fell with great momentum at best, but did not cause any casualties.

A group of people accelerated forward, and the horses also pulled the carriage forward, leaving the shooting distance of the crossbow in a short time.Although there were casualties in this process, at any rate they left the shooting range of the crossbow arrows. Even if there were still crossbow arrows, they were useless.

"kill!"

Seeing this, Zhou Ziqing immediately ordered an attack.

With an order, horns sounded on the mountain, and all the ambush soldiers on both sides rushed out.Zhou Ziqing brought people to ambush this time, a total of thousands of people, each of whom is an elite on the battlefield, and they are all extremely powerful.After all, Hou Junji also wanted to win the battle, so he sent the most powerful soldiers.

Soldiers one by one, dare to fight and kill.

Each soldier has strong combat effectiveness.

Everyone rushed out and intervened in the battlefield in a short period of time, rushing towards the soldiers of the imperial army under Du Qi's command.At this time, Morado ordered to stop the evacuation, because there were no crossbow arrows to shoot, so he was no longer afraid.Originally, Moledo led more than a hundred guards of the imperial guards, but a wave of crossbow arrows fired earlier, and more than ten people were damaged, and now there are more than 80 people left.

Even so, the fighting power of a group of people is not weak.
