Chapter 399
Li Shimin stood on a high place, holding a telescope to observe the enemy situation in Gaomu City.
Changsun Wuji, who was accompanying him, saw the corner of his mouth raised and a faint smile, and asked, "Marcedes-in-law, is it time for our attack?"
“Wait a little longer.”
Li Shimin put away his telescope and ordered: "Yin Kaishan, Hou Junji, you can stay and continue to observe."
Then he took the guards back to the camp.
Chai Shao was guarding the military camp for more than a month. Seeing that Li Shimin was as stable as Mount Tai, he was not in a hurry at all, he couldn't help but say, "Marson, we have been guarding for more than a month. The Western Qin army has already been in aroused and rioted. It's time to attack."
If we continue to defend, not only the Western Qin army is manic, but their Tang army may also be manic.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at Li Shimin without saying anything, but the meaning revealed in their eyes was very obvious, that was, the Tang army should attack.
"No hurry, wait a little longer."
When everyone heard Li Shimin's words, the expectation in everyone's eyes disappeared instantly, and replaced by anxiety.
When should we keep our guard?
Just as everyone was silent, Qin Shubao walked in quickly with a happy smile on his face: "Marson, someone from Western Qin has come to surrender."
Here comes.
Li Shimin was overjoyed and stood up and walked out: "Go and take a look."
The garrisons of Longxi Shanzhou and Guzhou, each of whom he brought tens of thousands of subordinates to the ground, all bowed to the ground: "We are willing to join the Tang Dynasty and serve the work of dogs and horses."
The smile in Li Shimin's eyes deepened, and he immediately ordered Chai Shao to incorporate these troops.
Returning to the tent again, Changsun Wuji said to Li Shimin: "Marson, Xue Rengao has been guarding Gaojin City. His father's body has not been buried yet. The people of Western Qin have long been dissatisfied. Now that the soldiers are discontent, it is a good time for us to attack."
I have to say that Changsun Wuji is very good at observing words and expressions. When Li Shimin saw the general of Western Qin who came to surrender, Li Shimin knew that the time he had been waiting for was coming.
Hearing Changsun Wuji's words at this moment, Li Shimin couldn't help but cast an admiring look at him and smiled slightly: "That's right, our opportunity is here."
Then, Li Shimin changed his expression and said solemnly: "Qu Tutong, Liu Wenjing obeyed the order."
Qu Tutong is out of the list: "The last one will be there."
Liu Wenjing left the list: "I am here."
"You will immediately enter Asamihawon by leading 30,000 elite troops. Remember, you can only defend it."
"yes."
-----------------
Finally, when the Tang army was in action, Xue Rengao was overjoyed and immediately ordered Zong Luohu: "I will give you 100,000 elite troops, and I must destroy the Tang army in one battle."
Zong Luohu immediately led a hundred thousand elite troops to Akasuwara.
When he arrived in Sumiwara, Zong Luohu immediately launched an attack on Qu Tutong's camp.
Qu Tutong held on to Li Shimin's military orders, but only defended him but failed to go out. He used 30,000 to 100,000, and resisted Zong Luohu's fierce attack again and again.
After several days of fierce battle, Zong Luohu was unable to capture Asamihara and was so angry that he cursed: "He is yes, it was obvious that he fought very easily last time, why is it so difficult to fight this time?"
After anger, Zong Luohu issued a death order: "Attack with all your strength, you must take down the Asura Won today, destroy the Tang army, and never stop until death."
Most of the soldiers of the Western Qin were from Longxi, and the soldiers were very fierce. After receiving the military order of "never die", Mou was vigorous and launched a fierce attack on the Tang army camp.
At this time, the water source of Qianshuiyuan Daying, Qu Tutong, was completely cut off, and the people had not entered the water for two days. The soldiers' lips were chapped, their throats were smoked, and they could not speak.
The horse lay on the ground and had no strength to run.
Faced with another fierce attack from Xi Qin, Qu Tutong ordered: "Use firearms."
His army received not many firearms, and Qu Tutong would not order it to be used unless it was absolutely necessary, but the situation is critical now and we must use it.
"Bang!"
The flying fish bomb was dropped and landed in the Western Qin army, and the soldiers were blown away.
"Bang!"
The smoke bomb followed closely behind, and the choking smoke emitted after it landed quickly dissipated, surrounding the vanguard troops of the Western Qin Dynasty.
The vanguard troops suddenly fell into chaos, and wailing continued.
"Hey, aren't these things only available to King Xia? Why does the Tang army have them too?"
Zong Luohu was in a position behind and quickly retreated before the smoke filled his body.
Looking at the smoke ahead and listening to the wailing of his own people, Zong Luohu clenched his fists in hatred, but instead of giving the order to retreat, he shouted loudly: "They don't have many weapons, and they will be gone after using them. Everyone obeys the orders and rush for me."
The soldiers heard the order and rushed forward without any chance.
Because they discovered that, except for the loud hidden weapon that would blow people to death, those hidden weapons that emit smoke will not hurt people. At most, it will stimulate eyes to cry and hinder vision. But if you leave the range of the smoke, you will be fine if you slow down.
There will inevitably be casualties in war, so what is this sacrifice?
Zong Luohu boosted morale: "The Tang army's food and water source has been cut off, and they have no reinforcements. As long as we persist, we will definitely be able to eliminate the Tang army."
When the soldiers heard this, they were full of strength again and their offensive became more and more fierce.
Seeing the firearms gradually decrease and the soldiers were suffering from casualties, the Tang army general Liang Shi was anxious and couldn't help asking Qu Tutong: "When will the marshal act? We are almost unable to hold on."
"If you can't hold on, you have to persevere." Liu Wenjing raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her face, saying, "After fighting for so many days, Xi Qin has been almost exhausted, and the marshal will take action soon.
"As long as we stick with it, victory will belong to us."
This time, they can't lose anymore.
If the army is defeated again this time, it may not be as simple as losing the official position, but rather facing the risk of being beheaded.
Besides, he has no official position to be removed, and others may still have a glimmer of hope, but he has not, and he has only one way out.
Qu Tutong glanced at Liu Wenjing, and knew his current situation very well, but Qu Tutong didn't want to be defeated either.
"Send the order and hold on to me, and reinforcements will arrive soon."
After another day of persistence, the firearms were used up, the Tang soldiers went into battle again and fought fiercely with the Western Qin army.
At this moment, Li Shimin issued a general attack order and led the remaining Tang army out in full swing.
The soldier hurriedly ran to Zong Luohu and panted, saying, "Report, the Tang army appeared behind him and was coming towards us."
Zong Luohu paused: "How many people have come?"
"a lot of."
“…”
Hearing these two words, Zong Luohu was angry and anxious, scolded the soldier and turned his horse to find out the enemy's situation.
He found that the Tang army had arrived at his rear and was in an array to attack.
Zong Luohu immediately issued an order: "Continue attacking here, and the others follow me to the rear."
In the rear, the Tang generals Pang Yu and Yin Kaishan were attacking the Western Qin army. They led some of the heavy cavalry and infantry to launch a fierce attack.
However, the soldiers of Western Qin were very brave. When they fought back, Pang Yu and Yin Kaishan were defeated and retreated one after another.
Zong Luohu was overjoyed. He knew that the Tang army was defeated by Western Qin, so he led his army to pursue Pang Yu in a fierce manner.
"kill!"
