I'm a marquis in Datang

At this moment, another whistle came running from the front.

This was arranged by Du Qi along the line from Guazhou to Niulan Mountain to monitor the whereabouts of Li Shimin's army at any time.

The sentry came to Du Qi's side and reported: "Your Majesty, the army led by Li Shimin has been dispatched and is heading straight for us. It is estimated that it will reach Niulan Mountain within an hour at most."

Du Qi waved his hand to let the sentinel continue to investigate, then looked at Xiao Yuanqi and said, "I'll give you another [-] soldiers to guard the Shandong line of Niulan and block the Tang army. You only need to wait for a day, and within a day I will Defeat Duan Zhixuan's army. Are you sure?"

Xiao Yuanqi said: "Your Majesty, please don't worry, I promise to complete the task. And here, I will give me another [-] soldiers, enough gunpowder, mines, etc. Although our defense force is small, we will not give up half a step."

Du Qi said: "Since you want six thousand, I will give you six thousand. Adding your previous six thousand, you will have 1 troops under your command, with a certain combat power. When I kill Duan Zhixuan, this One fight wins."

Xiao Yuanqi said: "The humble job understands."

He has already made arrangements now, all he needs to do is wait at Niulan Mountain.

Du Qi didn't waste any more time, mobilized the army, and rushed to Duan Zhixuan to lead the army.

position of the army.The troops led by Duan Zhixuan were mainly gathered on the western front of Niulan Mountain. There were 8 troops in this group.

Earlier, Duan Zhixuan was going to Xia Guo, deliberately attracting Du Qi's attention.He walked halfway, and after a short rest, he turned around and retreated.In the middle of the night last night, Duan Zhixuan's army had already reached the front line of Niulan Mountain.It's just that Duan Zhixuan's army rushed all the way, and it was night, so they didn't attack Niulan Mountain immediately.

Until now, Duan Zhixuan didn't know that Du Qi had changed his strategy and was attacking him.Duan Zhixuan's idea is very simple, that is to break through the Niulanshan army, and then cooperate with Li Shimin to take down Du Qi.

Duan Zhixuan led his troops on their way quickly, and when he was about to approach Niulan Mountain, suddenly the sentry sent by him returned and reported: "General Duan, Du Qi's army has arrived. The opponent has at least [-] people. Here we come."

When Duan Zhixuan heard this, he was a little surprised.

how is this possible.

Du Qi's army was clearly in Guazhou City, how could it have left Guazhou City and appeared near Niulan Mountain.

Duan Zhixuan didn't know why, but he could only continue on his way.However, Duan Zhixuan continued on his way, and after walking for less than a quarter of an hour, another scout galloped towards Duan Zhixuan. This was the scout Li Shimin sent early in the morning.

Bian, reported: "Duan is about to leave, and there is a letter from His Majesty."

Duan Zhixuan took the letter and quickly browsed it.After he finished reading it, he realized that Du Qi had adjusted his strategy and had already given up Guazhou City to deal with him.

Li Shimin's order in the letter is very simple, that is to let Duan Zhixuan go all out to attack, to block the attack of Du Qi's army, and strive to destroy Du Qi's army and win the battle smoothly.And Li Shimin also said in the letter that he was leading an army to Niulan Mountain to attack Du Qi with Duan Zhixuan.

In a word, Du Qi cannot be allowed to escape.

To completely defeat Du Qi.

After reading the letter, Duan Zhixuan already understood.With a serious expression on his face, he ordered the soldiers under his command to go all out, and Duan Zhixuan also said that Du Qi's army was about to escape ahead, so he ordered the soldiers to stop Du Qi and prevent Du Qi from escaping.

This is Duan Zhixuan's trick.

Du Qi's intention was to defeat him first, not to give up Guazhou and escape.But in fact Du Qi just gave up on Guazhou, and came in the direction of Xiaguo again.Under this premise, even if Duan Zhixuan changed his rhetoric and said that Du Qi had escaped, no soldiers refuted it, and no one even doubted it, because the Tang army was strong and strong.

The army set off and hurried on its way.

All soldiers are fighting high.

Because they thought that Du Qi was already defeated and could not stop the Tang army's attack.The two sides met each other, and within a short time, the two armies met.At this time, both sides tacitly did not shout, and directly ordered their respective attacks.

Sitting behind the town, Du Qi saw the two sides fighting in this vast place. Without hesitation, he looked directly at the guard Moledo beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Moledo, I will give you five thousand cavalry. You lead five Qian Jingqi, from our left flank, entered the opponent's army formation, rushed back and forth, and then cut off the opponent's big flag."

"Yes!"

Mo Ledo clasped his fists in response.

At this time, he was carrying his golden hammer for beating drums and urns, and the war horse under his crotch was also a special mount.Only such a steed horse can carry the power of Moredo.

He mobilized five thousand elite cavalry, and quickly rushed out from the left wing.

Du Qi looked at Xue Rengui at the side, and said: "Xue Rengui, you don't need to command anymore, lead your cavalry and charge out from our right wing. There is no need to hold back in this battle, and there is no need to leave behind. The attack is now, Destroy the opponent in one go. We have cavalry, infantry, and more troops than the opponent. In this battle, we will destroy the opponent's lineup in one go."

"Yes!"

Xue Rengui immediately mobilized five thousand elite cavalry under his command to fight.

Du Qi looked at Ma Yuan again, and ordered Ma Yuan to lead the army to attack from the front of the Chinese army.

At this time, Du Qi dispatched all the troops under his command.All the cavalry and infantry went into battle to kill the enemy, and none remained. Under such a lineup, the offensive was like a tide and menacing.

Around Du Qi, only Shangguanyi and others were left, less than a hundred people.

Du Qi was not worried about being attacked by surprise.

Right now it's all or nothing.

On the battlefield, Mo Ledo, Ma Yuan, and Xue Rengui led the army. When the three armies attacked, the infantry and the infantry led by Duan Zhixuan met. It was difficult to distinguish between the winner and loser in a short time.Mo Ledo and Xue Rengui are different, both of them are peerless fierce generals, leading the army to charge, the attack is fierce and unmatched, just like sweeping holes in the courtyard, they keep advancing.

The infantry of the Tang army could stop Ma Yuan's infantry, but under the attack of the cavalry, even if Duan Zhixuan had some cavalry under his command, and sent cavalry to block it, they couldn't stop it, and the line of defense was quickly destroyed.

The Tang army on the left and right flanks had already begun to be suppressed after fighting for less than half an hour.

showing signs of defeat.

Chapter 959 Raid

Raid

Duan Zhixuan was directing the army to attack, even Duan Zhixuan himself had already intervened in the battlefield, personally leading the troops into the battle.After a short period of fighting, the Tang army under his command couldn't bear it anymore, and Duan Zhixuan was a little shocked by the combat effectiveness of Xia Guo's soldiers.

Xia Jun is very strong.

Not only is the fighting spirit of Xia Guo soldiers strong, but Xia Guo's weapons are also more sophisticated.When Li Shimin led the army to confront Du Qi, Duan Zhixuan also participated in the battle, but there was no fight that time, so Duan Zhixuan didn't have a clear impression of how strong Du Qi's army was.

Duan Zhixuan understands the fight now.

Not only Xia Jun's fighting spirit is fierce, but the opponent's blade is even sharper.The weapons of the soldiers under his command were chopped off after a series of slashes, which shows the sharpness of Du Qi's weapons.

Duan Zhixuan saw that the army under his command was being suppressed and was retreating steadily. He ordered the soldiers to beat the drums to pass the order, so that all the soldiers would be encouraged to charge forward.When it's time to go all out, you can't admit cowardice, you have to hold on.

Now the main force of the Tang Dynasty, the army led by His Majesty the Emperor is coming quickly.As long as he persisted until the arrival of the army, then the two sides would attack Du Qi's army, and Du Qi would undoubtedly be defeated.

It's just that under Duan Zhixuan's constant command, it is still difficult for him to restore the situation, and the situation is a little bit unfavorable to him.

The situation is getting more and more difficult.

At this point, Duan Zhixuan even made adjustments again.The soldiers under his command no longer focused on offense, but turned from offense to defense, trying to block the attack of Du Qi's army.

As long as you hold the line of defense and delay the time, you can still win in the end.

This is Duan Zhixuan's final plan.

Xue Rengui has been leading the troops into the battle, and the cavalry under his command is getting faster and faster, going back and forth to kill Tang soldiers one by one.When Xue Rengui was rushing to kill, he turned his eyes to Duan Zhixuan's banner of the Chinese army, and began to search for Duan Zhixuan's commander-in-chief flag.
