I'm a marquis in Datang

"On the contrary, you, Hou Junji, led an army of [-] people, thinking that you can conquer this king, so you are unscrupulous. Unfortunately, it is impossible to conquer me with your [-] troops alone."

Du Qi continued: "Especially after you were defeated by Hou Junji in this battle and fell into the hands of this king, just based on your words just now, you will suffer endlessly.

If you just came here by order, even if you lose and fall into the hands of this king, maybe I will still miss the old love.But now, it is impossible.Hou Junji, what you said just now cut off your retreat. "

"Hahaha…"

Hou Junji laughed out loud.

In the laughter, it was full of arrogance.

In the laughter, it was full of disdain.

He is confident that he can defeat Du Qi, and he even disdains Du Qi's so-called [-] people.

Hou Junji's eyes were sharp, he smiled and said, "Du Qi, do you really think you are omnipotent? Let me tell you, the reason why you were able to win on the battlefield was because you had His Majesty as your backing." .Even your victory in the Western Regions is due to His Majesty's prestige, and you are nothing more than a small boy."

Du Qidao: "I didn't expect that Hou Junji was actually a sycophant."

Hou Junji twitched his cheeks, snorted coldly, and said again: "Du Qi, I will give you one last chance. Immediately hand over the military power and accept His Majesty's edict. In this way, you are still Pingxi, who was granted by His Majesty." King. Otherwise, His Majesty can give you everything and take back everything from you."

Du Qi shook his sleeve robe, and said calmly: "Hou Junji, this king is here, waiting for you to attack."

Hou Junji said: "Heaven committed evil, but you can still live. Self-inflicted evil, you can't live. Du Qi, everything about you is caused by yourself. You insist on this, to be honest, your majesty

Very disappointed.But this general is very relieved, because you, King Pingxi, will become this general's stepping stone.You are a mere child, and you become the king of Pingxi, which is not worthy of your name.Today, Ben will let you fall down. "

After finishing speaking, Hou Junji waved his hand and gave the order to attack.

Du Qi retreated a little and handed over the command of the army to Xue Rengui.

No new weapons were used in this battle.

Just arrange archers, crossbowmen, and long spears to resist, even so, it is a stable resistance.Hou Junji's army stormed for half a day, but failed to break through the defense in the end.

When it was almost noon, Hou Junji ordered to retreat.

The army retreated.

Du Qi looked at Hou Junji who was resting outside the camp with the retreating troops, and said calmly: "Hou Junji, you have been attacking for such a long time. Up to now, you have never broken the camp's defense. It seems that you can't break through."

Hou Junji looked cold and serious, and said lightly: "Du Qi, this battle has just begun. War is not something that happens overnight, but a long-term process."

Du Qidao: "If it's just that, then you Hou Junji is nothing more than that. I never apologized to Your Majesty, but His Majesty arranged for you to attack me. Even so, I, Du Qi, am willing to express my heart. I will retreat thirty miles in this battle , to show respect."

"Withdraw!"

Du Qi ordered to retreat.

Following Du Qi's order, the army in the army began to retreat in an orderly manner.

The retreat of the army fell into Hou Junji's eyes, and his eyes narrowed.At the moment, Gao Shilian said, "General Hou, Du Qi withdrew because he was afraid. If we pursue and kill him now, we can take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat Du Qi's army."

Hou Junji shook his head and said, "Du Qi is very good at planning. He said he was showing his respect to His Majesty, but in fact, he might have set up an ambush. There is no need for us to follow Du Qi's pace. In a battle, combat power is one aspect, and rhythm is another. When we attack Du Qi, we must have our own rhythm. If our rhythm has been mastered by Du Qi, then we will lose in the end. Therefore, we cannot pursue. "

After hearing this, Gao Shilian nodded.

It seems to be the truth.

Su Dingfang stood aside, but did not speak. He never spoke from the beginning to the end.Because Su Dingfang and Du Qi actually knew Du Qi relatively well, since Du Qi said so, he must really respect the emperor.

After all, Du Qi has another new weapon.

But Su Dingfang didn't speak.

Hou Junji didn't care about Su Dingfang's thoughts either. He waited until Du Qi's army withdrew before waving the soldiers to step forward and directly took down Du Qi's previous camp.

The camp at this time was already empty.

Only the perimeter fence remains.

Even the tents have been moved away, obviously Du Qi has made sufficient preparations, otherwise it would not be so clean to retreat here this time.

Hou Junji took advantage of the trend and advanced forward. When Du Qi retreated [-] miles behind and stopped to garrison, the army led by Hou Junji moved forward for [-] miles, and was still not far from Du Qi's camp. stationed.

Hou Junji knew very well that Du Qi was good at using tricks, so he thoroughly checked the surrounding rivers, mountains and rivers, none of which met the conditions for an ambush, so Hou Junji was relieved.

The two armies confronted each other, and it was getting dark at this time.

The golden crow sets and the moon rises.

Seeing the sky, Hou Junji specially arranged for people to garrison the camp, making sure that the camp would not be ambushed.Because in Hou Junji's view, this may also be Du Qi's calculation, so Hou Junji must be fully prepared.

It was just one night, the camp was quiet and had never been ambushed.In the early morning of the next day, Hou Junji led the army and went to Du Qi's camp again.He's going to attack again.

Now that he attacked Du Qi, Hou Junji would not give up.When the armies confronted each other again, Hou Junji still stepped forward to speak out.

This time, Du Qi didn't go around too much, and said, "Du Qi, your attack today will become a nightmare in your life. At the same time, your attack today will be unforgettable in your entire life."

After Hou Junji heard it, he laughed mockingly, he didn't care about Du Qi's threat at all.

"attack!"

Hou Junji stopped talking and gave another order.

Today when Hou Junji ordered the attack, there were a total of 8000 troops who stepped forward to attack.

It is eight thousand elite.

He was going to break the camp in one fell swoop.

Chapter 821 The First Battle

first battle

Du Qi still stood calmly at the gate of the camp, waiting quietly.The army retreated yesterday, but Hou Junji did not immediately pursue it, so Du Qi's army had already made detailed arrangements for defense, and the defense of the entire camp was extremely strict.

The distance, close quickly.

When the eight thousand Tang troops dispatched by Hou Junji approached the camp for about a hundred steps, the archers in the camp stepped forward and shot straight away with their bows and arrows.The soldiers under Du Qi's command were all recruited from the Western Regions, and many of them were even from Yizhou and other places. They didn't have any sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty, but they had their hearts attached to Du Qi.

With Du Qi, they will not be hungry and can support their families.

Now that the army of Datang came to kill Du Qi, it would be tantamount to cutting off their rations, so these soldiers under Du Qi's command tried their best.Bows and arrows shot out through the air, skimmed in the air, and there was a whistling sound when they fell. In a blink of an eye, they shot into the soldiers of the Tang army like rain hitting plantains.

Immediately, more than a hundred people were killed or injured.

Tang Jun's offensive was immediately frustrated.
