I'm a marquis in Datang

Shangguanyi also said that His Majesty is holy.

Whether it was Shangguanyi, Ma Zhou, Guan Zhilan, they all agreed with Du Qi's words.

Leaving the establishment of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje is to allow the other party to revive.In one go, completely destroyed the opponent

, in order to truly eradicate the weeds.

"Report!"

At this moment, a soldier came to report.

Du Qi said, "What's the matter?"

The soldiers reported: "Your Majesty, there are Goguryeo troops arriving and stationed on the Datong River. These Goguryeo troops have directly destroyed the bridges across the river, and there are even Goguryeo ships on the river blocking the river, intending to prevent us from going to Goguryeo."

Du Qi nodded and ordered, "Explore again."

The soldier turned and retreated.

Du Qi looked at Shang Guanyi and the others, smiled lightly and said, "See, Goguryeo has already taken action. Yuangai Suwen's first line of defense should be the Datong River. But for us, this has no effect .It is not surprising that there are only so many troops on the river."

Shangguan Yi said: "What Your Majesty said is true, these boats on the river can't make a climate."

Du Qi also nodded.

He led the army to continue on their way to the Datong River.In late August, the army led by Du Qi arrived at the Datong River and stationed on the north bank of the Datong River.

At the same time, Yuan Gai Suwen's army also went a step further, pulling out camp directly from the rear, and leading the army to station on the south bank in order to deal with Du Qi's attack.

Yuan Gai Suwen mobilized a total of 8 troops, which was all the troops Yuan Gai Suwen could mobilize.This time, Yuan Gai Su Wen had already used all his strength to resist Xia Guo and fight Du Qi.

Yuan Gai Suwen even went to the riverside in person to look at the situation on the north bank.

Du Qi's army was stationed on the north bank.

The strength of Ma Yuan's troops is only [-].As far as the number of troops is concerned, it is slightly inferior to that of Goguryeo, but the combat effectiveness of Xia's army is completely different, far surpassing that of Goguryeo.

This is Du Qi's confidence.

Du Qi was stationed on the north bank, and he looked at the situation on the south bank through a telescope.Now the densely packed Goguryeo army is all on the south bank, and Du Qi can clearly see that after all, the Goguryeo army is arrayed in formation.

Even, Du Qi saw Yuan Gai Suwen riding his horse in front of them.After all, Yuan Gai Suwen and the civilian and military generals under his command are all wearing armor, which can be seen directly.

Du Qi estimated the width of the Datong River.

The Datong River is more than a hundred feet wide.

Although the distance is extremely wide, it is actually not a problem for mortars.

Du Qi narrowed his eyes, thought carefully, and ordered: "Zhu Youtian, mobilize all the mortars, aim at the position where Yuangai Suwen is on the other side, and hit me hard. Fight, one shot!" Take Yuangai Suwen."

"Yes!"

Zhu Youtian immediately began to carry out the order.

Because Ma Yuan stayed in the rear, Zhu Youtian is now acting as the commander in chief of the army.

Following Zhu Youtian's arrangement, mortars were quickly set up on the north bank one by one, aiming at the direction of Yuan Gai Suwen.When all the cannons were aimed, Zhu Youtian gave an order, and all the mortars were loaded with shells and fired.

"Boom! Boom!!!"

The sound of cannons, one after another, continued to sound.Smoke and dust rose everywhere, shells flew across the air one after another, crossed the Datong River in a short time, and began to go in the direction of Yuangai Suwen.

When Yuan Gai Suwen heard the sound of the cannon, his heart skipped a beat and he shouted to retreat.

He rang suddenly.

Xia Guo's weapons are extremely powerful, capable of bombing from a long distance.If he stayed now, he was looking for death, so he turned his horse's head and evacuated quickly without hesitation.Just after Yuan Gai Suwen withdrew for a certain distance, the shells had already fallen.

Boom! ! !

Explosions sounded one after another.

On the Goguryeo side, the soldiers arrayed were killed one after another.All the soldiers retreated in panic, not daring to stay any longer.After a wave of bombing, the Goguryeo formation on the south bank of the Datong River was completely chaotic, and countless soldiers were killed.

Even though Yuan Gai Suwen and his group retreated to avoid the bombing, everyone had expressions of fear on their faces.

so horrible!

what weapon is this?

You know, the banks of the Datong River are more than a hundred feet long.Xia Guo's weapons easily swept across the river bank and directly bombed the army on the south bank, which is really terrifying.

Chapter 1359

seek death

The artillery roared, and the south bank was constantly bombed.

All Goguryeo soldiers were constantly retreating. In a short time, the Goguryeo soldiers on the south bank had retreated a full three hundred steps away.Even so, this distance is still within the bombing range of the mortar, but the accuracy is much worse than before, and there is no previous accuracy.

Yuan Gai Suwen is also quite embarrassed now.Even when retreating, because of the successive explosions, the body was splashed with mud, and the body was dirty.

Yuan Gai Suwen shook his clothes, looked up at the north bank, his eyes were stern and his face was embarrassed.

Xia Guo's weapons are too strong.

Wang Xiangxiong stood next to Yuan Gai Suwen with his helmet on his armor. He also had a hint of worry in his eyes, and said, "Damn Lu, once Xia Guo's weapons fall, especially among the crowd, there will be countless casualties. , Our soldiers have lost a lot. Although overall, the proportion of soldiers lost is not large, but if such a weapon is really used in a fight, the consequences will be disastrous."

Song Yunde said: "Xia Guo's weapons are indeed extremely powerful. But at the moment, we don't have to be too afraid. After all, there is still Datong River, and the river is more than a hundred feet away. It's not so easy. We just need to guard the Datong River. It can stop Xia Guo’s army from coming.”

Wang Xiangxiong nodded.

The truth is this.

Yuan Gai Suwen glanced at the people around him. Now all the soldiers around him were stunned by the bombing, and they all had expressions of fear on their faces.After all, in the previous wave of bombing, many soldiers were almost killed.

Yuan Gai Suwen knew that the morale of the soldiers under his command had been affected by the bombardment.But Yuan Gai Suwen was not in a hurry, because the battle had just begun.The next fight is the key.As long as Xia Guo's army is blocked on the north bank, then Yuan Gai Suwen will not encounter a tragic situation, and everything still has a chance.

Yuan Gai Su Wen waited quietly and did not send troops for the time being.

On the north bank, Zhu Youtian's soldiers stopped bombarding after a while.After the gunfire stopped, the bombing on the south bank ended, the ground stopped trembling, and everything returned to calm.

On the surface of the river, the river is still long.

Yuan Gai Suwen looked around, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Xia Guo's army didn't even prepare boats. On the contrary, our boats have already crossed the river. If Du Qi's people want to send people to build If the pontoon bridge crosses the river, it will be attacked by us. Du Qi's army cannot cross the river."

Song Yunde said: "The simplest and most direct way for Du Qi to cross the river is to first arrange small boats to lie across the river, and then fix the two sides with ropes, then spread wooden boards, and build floating bridges to cross the river. In this way, Only then can we cross the Datong River. But at the moment, with our people watching, it is obviously impossible to cross the river. It is impossible for Du Qi's boat to cross the river."
