I'm a marquis in Datang

A group of Tang soldiers launched an attack.

Li Shimin even beat the drums himself to cheer the soldiers under his command. With the sound of the drums, the entire camp was already on fire, and waves of Tang troops continued to attack.However, Du Qi didn't panic in such a scattered attack.Because Du Qi's army in the camp responded quickly, and then scattered to block the attack.

There are not many troops in charge of blocking, except for the troops at the gate of the camp, there are only [-] soldiers in each direction, all blocking separately.

Three thousand to twenty thousand, the strength is very different, but there are fences around the camp, and the Tang army did not rush in immediately.Three thousand soldiers quickly built fortifications, except for the mortars one by one in place, and began rapid bombing to block the attacking soldiers of the Tang army.

After the war started, it was still a defense war.

Du Qi was not worried about Li Shimin's arrangement.Because Li Shimin seems to have chosen a clever attack method, and even according to Li Shimin's attack method, as long as one or two breakthroughs are made, then the troops under his command can enter the camp, and then spread like a spark in various places. An offensive was formed everywhere, and Du Qi should be attacked from inside and outside.

The problem is, if Li Shimin's army can break through the line of defense, otherwise nothing will be possible.In particular, Li Shimin's arrangement is actually similar to Li Ji's in Jiuquan.

When Li Ji was in Jiuquan, he divided his troops to break through the siege, but he was blocked so much that his entire army was wiped out.

Now Li Shimin's army is either breaking out or attacking, but the offensive is not easy to form. Facing the constant bombardment and the defenses formed everywhere, it is impossible to quickly break through and enter the camp.

The defense continues everywhere.

Du Qi still sat in the front battalion, commanding calmly.

To this day, Du Qi's troops are still sufficient. In addition to the troops dispatched to resist, in fact, there are more than 7 people under his command who can be dispatched.

So Du Qi didn't panic at all.

Du Qi was not in a hurry, but Li Shimin was in a hurry. Apart from more than 1 people around him, the rest of the troops had already been dispatched to attack, and all the troops under his command were equipped with gunpowder.The gunpowder equipped here is not used to kill the enemy, but to blow up the fence so that it can enter the camp.

Li Shimin and the others fought for an hour, but none of the people sent out reported the victory, so he became a little nervous, and directly passed the order down, ordering all the troops to attack with all their strength.

It's just that this urging order has little effect.

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others at the side, and said: "Now we want to encourage the soldiers to break through Du Qi's defense, what should we do now? You have a plan to defeat the enemy."

A bright light flashed in Fang Xuanling's eyes, and he said, "Your Majesty, you can only increase the rewards. With heavy rewards, there must be brave men. Only with heavy rewards to motivate soldiers can they have a chance to break through and succeed."

Wei Zheng echoed, "Your Majesty, I second the proposal."

The others also agreed.

Now the people who stay with Li Shimin are mainly civil servants, and military generals have been scattered everywhere to direct the war.

After listening to everyone's words, Li Shimin clenched his hands into fists, then loosened them immediately, and ordered: "I have ordered you to attack Du Qi's camp in this battle, and the first to lead the army to break through the defense line and enter Du Qi's camp will be awarded to the Duke of the Founding Kingdom." position, and the rest will be promoted to three ranks."

"If you enter Du Qi's camp, kill the generals under Du Qi's command, or kill the cabinet officials under Du Qi's command, the chief general will be crowned the king of the county, hereditary, and the rest will be promoted to three ranks. If there is beheading or Whoever captures Du Qi alive will be crowned king directly, hereditary will not be replaced, and the rest will be promoted to three ranks as non-commissioned officers."

Li Shimin said: "Inform the lieutenant immediately."

The orderly made arrangements immediately.

Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and the others all had expressions of admiration on their faces, because the reward Li Shimin gave this time was really generous. You must know that after Li Shimin ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he adjusted the titles of the officials in the world.

In Li Yuan's time, let alone a duke, there were many kings with different surnames.After Li Shimin's adjustment, there are very few founders, and Du Qi is the only king with a different surname. Most of the other clans are county kings, and it is impossible to be princes.But this time, Li Shimin gave away a lot of titles, bestowing many titles, which is extremely rare.

As the order was conveyed, the soldiers of Datang became excited.Because this promotion is not only for the main general, but also for all soldiers, everyone is excited and keeps attacking.

Tang Jun's offensive was fierce for a while.

At this moment, the situation that had been firmly held was almost impossible to hold.

Du Qi still didn't panic at all, he dispatched troops again, and again dispatched 3000 troops to various places.With the new fresh troops intervening in this battle, the originally precarious defense became stable again.Even though the Tang army was attacking like a tide, the defense line of Xia Guo's army was well guarded, temporarily stopping the Tang army's attack.

So far, Du Qi has dispatched nearly 5 people to join the battle.

Also thanks to defense.

If it is a frontal fight, it will be extremely difficult for Du Qi's 5 troops to resist the attack of [-] to [-] Tang troops.Even so, as the fighting time passed, in the afternoon and evening, Du Qi's defense gradually became weak again, faintly unable to stop Tang Jun's attack.

Tang Jun's offensive became more and more fierce.

Hand-to-hand combat has begun to appear on many defense lines everywhere, Tang

The army and the army of Xia State went to war.

This situation was summarized in front of Li Shimin, and Li Shimin's face was full of smiles.He and Du Qi have been fighting for such a long time, and now they finally have the upper hand.Even if Li Shimin knew that Du Qi hadn't gone all out at the moment and Du Qi still had an army, but if this momentum continued, Du Qi would undoubtedly be defeated.

Li Shimin stroked the beard under his chin, looked at Fang Xuanling beside him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, it is indeed correct for us to divide our forces and attack. Now we are already worried about breaking through the defense line and starting to kill the troops in the camp. The next step , Du Qi's defense line collapsed, we can encircle Du Qi's army here, and annihilate Du Qi here. If Du Qi can be captured, then the confrontation between Tang Dynasty and Xia Kingdom will be a reversal of the offensive and defensive trend. "

Fang Xuanling smiled mischievously, but said nothing.

Li Shimin is a little drifting!

Chapter 1205 Lost Again

lost again

Fang Xuanling paused for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, although we have temporarily achieved a breakthrough, the battle of this battle has only just begun, and the final victory can only be established if Du Qi's camp is truly defeated. We have fought against Du Qi several times. In every battle, there will be times when Du Qi turns the tables, so in this battle, we must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and be cautious. Only in this way can we win the final victory."

Wei Zheng echoed, "What Prime Minister Fang said is very true. The more this is the case, the less anxious you can be. Your Majesty, make sure to arrange someone to keep an eye on the surroundings and carefully observe the situation everywhere."

Although Li Shimin was quite happy, when he thought of the previous fights with Du Qi all ended in failure, he nodded and said: "I know the seriousness, don't worry, I won't rush forward."

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng looked at each other, both heaving a sigh of relief.

I'm afraid that Li Shimin will rush forward impetuously.

Li Shimin was still staring at the battlefield, paying attention to the news from the attacking teams everywhere.Li Shimin would analyze it carefully whenever there was a slight disturbance, and another half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Tang Jun's offensive became more and more fierce.

After all, there are many people.

When Tang Jun entered the camp, the offensive became stronger and stronger, and when Xia Guo's side gradually became unable to defend, the news of the defense everywhere was quickly collected in Du Qi's hands.

Shangguanyi said: "Your Majesty, it's almost done. We've been acting for such a long time. Now we can retreat across the board, and it's reasonable to evacuate to the center of the camp."

The barracks of the Xia State army stretched for several miles.

Covers an extremely vast area.

Now to evacuate to the center, there is enough space.

Du Qi shook his head and said, "I'm in a hurry to evacuate now. Another 6000 people will be sent out, and [-] soldiers will be reinforced everywhere. The purpose of this group of soldiers is to help the army retreat after blocking the Tang army's offensive. Delay for another quarter of an hour , they all retreat. And when the time comes to retreat, it is also conducive to the transmission of messages."

"Yes!"

The orderly immediately made arrangements.

Sixteen thousand soldiers, each with 2000 people, were divided into eight teams, and they quickly left the central army and rushed to help everywhere.The appearance of this army boosted the morale of the already declining armies everywhere.
