I'm a marquis in Datang

Take it by surprise. "

Li Shimin said: "What Erlang said is true."

The two talked about the general situation, because the location of Liu Heita's garrison had already been finalized.Therefore, the army under Li Shimin's command quickly marched straight to Quzhou County.

The army is getting closer and closer to Quzhou County.

When entering the territory of Quzhou County, because there are Turkic people raging in Quzhou County, the villages of the people along the way are already empty.

Many people fled.

Or into the mountains.

This scene fell into Du Qi's eyes, and Du Qi's intention to kill the Turkic people was even worse.These Turkic people are wreaking havoc in the land of Hebei, but Liu Heita doesn't care about it and let them wreak havoc, he really deserves to die.

Li Shimin also had a dark face along the way.

Because the territory of Quzhou County is really too barren.

At noon, the army stopped to rest, but even if it was a rest, there were special soldiers patrolling and guarding.Because after entering Quzhou County, Turkic people may kill at any time, so we must be careful.

Du Qi and Li Shimin sat together.

Li Shimin said: "Erlang, there is no one around now, why don't you just take off your helmet. Although the weather is not too hot, it's uncomfortable to wear."

He felt sorry for Du Qi.

After all, Du Qi was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but during the day's march, from beginning to end, he wore a visor so that his identity would not be discovered.

Du Qi shook his head and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have already thought of a way. When I get close to Quzhou County, I will arrange people to sneak into the county, buy some women's makeup items and eyebrow pencils, etc., and I will make up and change my appearance. Appearance. At that time, few people will recognize me."

Although the cosmetics of this era are much less than those of later generations, Du Qi can still use them.It's just that when he was in Mingshui County, Du Qi never thought about it, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with wearing armor.

Carry it all day long, and now it is about to enter May, although the weather is not very hot, but it is getting hotter day by day, so Du Qi needs to prepare early.

Li Shimin said: "There's no need to wait. I'll arrange for people to go to the villages along the way to inquire and collect. As long as there are rich families, there should be these items for eyebrow painting and makeup."

Immediately, Li Shimin called someone and ordered them to go down.

Li Shimin said: "Erlang, now that you are approaching Quzhou County, are you nervous?"

Du Qidao: "Your Highness, there is no need to be nervous. After all, during the Yanmen Pass, nearly 10 people were killed. Now it is just a Liu Heitai, nothing more."

Li Shimin said: "You are not bad, kid. I think it was the first time this king went to the battlefield and saw the murder scene, especially the warm blood splattered and sprinkled on his body. I was really not used to it. I just felt dizzy."

Du Qi smiled, knowing that Li Shimin was talking about something funny in order to pass the time.

"Report!"

At this moment, another shout sounded.

But I saw a sentry, who ran back like flying, came to Li Shimin's side, and said: "Your Highness, you are far away from us.

About ten miles away, a large number of cavalry appeared.These are Turkic cavalry, and they are already coming towards us. "

"The whole army is on alert!"

Li Shimin ordered immediately.

The soldiers in the army were already on guard, but now they heard Li Shimin's order, and they all started to line up instead of sitting on the ground scatteredly.

Holding weapons one by one, forming a formation.

The outermost ones are shield soldiers and spearmen, ensuring the formation of the army layer by layer.

Li Xiaogong was also beside Li Shimin, he said: "Your Highness, the Turkic cavalry is coming, shall we send out the Xuanjia fine cavalry to directly fight the opponent?"

When Li Shimin heard this, his heart moved.

Du Qi shook his head and said: "Your Highness, Prince Zhao, it's not appropriate to pursue now, or even encounter battles. Because such a fight will consume our troops."

"What's more, the surrounding area is endless and flat, so it's easier for the Turkic cavalry to spread out."

"Although we have Xuanjia Jingqi and strong fighting power, there is no need to fight the Turks. Now our primary target is Liu Heita. As long as Liu Heita is eliminated, these Turks will not be a problem."

"After all, it is almost impossible to exterminate these Turks."

Du Qi said: "They come and go freely, and they can leave at any time. Therefore, even if they use the Xuanjia Jingqi, they must pay attention to strategy and cannot directly fight. This is the most unfavorable way for us."

Li Shimin said: "It is indeed the truth, but it is not indecent to come and go. In this battle, the Turks cannot be allowed to attack and fuel the arrogance of the Turks."

Du Qidao: "Your Highness, if you don't say anything about your humble position, you won't take action. When the Turkic people come, they are naturally served by swords. But you can't attack by force, you have to count the Turkic people."

Li Shimin said: "Erlang, what plan are you going to make?"

Chapter 424 Small win

small win

Du Qi said with a smile: "To deal with the Turkic cavalry, we still have to rely on bows and arrows, barbed caltrops, etc. Our army is in formation, waiting for the formation, and [-] steps away from the army formation, we sprinkle a dense circle of barbed caltrops."

"Once the Turkic cavalry approached, even if they ran sparsely, there would always be cavalry hit."

"If you kill one Turkic cavalry, the other side will lose one person. If you kill too many, the Turkic force that assists Liu Heita will gradually weaken, and it can add up."

"And as soon as they approach, we still have bows and arrows to greet them."

"At least guarantee the killing of this battle and weaken the opponent's strength of 700 people. It is not a loss for us to be able to kill 700 people. Once the opponent wants to break through the area of ​​the barbed wire and continue to kill, so close, use Shields and guns make defense more offensive."

Du Qi said: "Using shield soldiers and big spears to form a phalanx to attack is like a hedgehog, covered with thorns. The Turkic cavalry can't move, so at this point, it can at least cause the loss of more than a thousand people on the other side."

"When the opponent retreats, the Xuanjia Jingqi will charge out from a distance, covering up for a while,

Can achieve certain results.So this battle is divided into three levels of fighting. "

Du Qi said: "The first is the fight when the opponent approaches, the second is the fight when the opponent has already come, and the third is the fight when the opponent retreats. We don't like fighting. As long as the opponent comes, we only aim to kill the enemy. "

After Li Shimin heard it, he nodded hurriedly, with a look of approval.He turned to look at Li Xiaogong and said, "Xiaogong, what do you think of Erlang's plan?"

Li Xiaogong said: "The levels are clear, and it is very maneuverable. I think it can be arranged. Of course, it also depends on how the Turkic side responds. If the Turkic people immediately evacuate as soon as they see the barbed wire, there will be no follow-up matter."

Li Shimin said: "It's up to people to make things happen. No matter how the Turkic side is, let's arrange it like this."

Li Xiaogong said: "What Your Highness said is very true."

Li Shimin quickly made arrangements.

The army at this time has changed its formation.The Xuanjia Jingqi has already evacuated and stationed in the distance.And all the [-] elites lined up, waiting for the formation, all lined up one after another.
