Du Ho's expression was serious, not joking. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xue Rengui is not as good as Qi He Li, but his intellectual potential is far above Qi He Li, and he was the first to understand the meaning of Du He's words, and lost his voice: "Encircle the point and send reinforcements ......"

Du He nodded in agreement, it was to surround the point to send reinforcements.

Hou Junji's intellect had realized the defensive tactics that he and Li Ji were prepared to take against him, so he planned to surround himself and force Li Ji to rescue him and fight against him. He is Li Shimin's son-in-law, the son of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and the existence of an army of 20,000, it is impossible for Li Ji to watch himself fall into a siege and ignore it.

Attack is his only choice, Hou Junji is best at field warfare, once Li Ji starts a field battle with him, it is tantamount to attacking the enemy's strength with his shortcomings.

He didn't choose to attack now, just because he was afraid of the unfavorable points that Xue Yantuo said about Qibi He Li, and wanted to besiege himself, Xue Yantuo had to at least send out the whole army, which meant that 80,000 generals would fight in this kind of rainy weather.

In such a harsh environment, even if the tactics achieve their goal, the 80,000-strong army will at least lose more than seventy percent of its combat effectiveness due to the climate. Hou Junji was not arrogant enough to think that in that case, he could still use the tactic of encirclement to send reinforcements to threaten the existence of Du He and Li Ji.

So he waited a little longer, waiting for the rain to stop.

Duhe's army of 30,000, after the previous battle, excluding the dead and wounded, only 20,000 were left. There is no danger to defend on the grassland, and it is really impossible to confront Xue Yantuo's 80,000 army. In the case that Li Ji's headquarters troops and horses could not come to help quickly, the only thing that can be done now is to withdraw and join the main army as soon as possible.

In this way, the emergence of a crisis can be avoided.

As for this ghost weather, Du He also thought that retreating on a rainy night would indeed have a non-negligible impact on the army, but no matter what, it was better than being besieged and letting Hou Junji eat it in one bite.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Du He's suspicion was quickly recognized by Yizhi.

All the generals agreed to retreat.

However, there was a slight dispute over when to retreat, some said as soon as possible, and some said that waiting for the heavy rain to be slightly lighter would allow the Tang soldiers to suffer less.

In the end, Du He made a decision, retreating this kind of thing, one minute earlier would be one minute less hidden danger, and decided to leave overnight.

In order to meet the needs of the retreat, Du He decided to give up all the heavy things, and each person only brought two days' rations, and the rest of the food was put into the pot tonight, so that all the soldiers could eat a full meal, and the rest could not be eaten were destroyed. Even the tents of the camp, they don't want it, they will destroy it all before they leave the camp.

For the sake of safety, Duho specially let Li Ji know and asked him to be ready to answer at any time.

That night, Du He led the large army to quietly evacuate the camp.

Maybe it's God's mercy, or something else.

Before Duhe left the camp, it rained heavily for three consecutive days, which unexpectedly weakened. What's even more bizarre is that there is a trace of the moon in the sky, the moon in the rainy night on the grassland, this is a very rare spectacle, I have to say that the world is so big, there are indeed no wonders.

The rain is sparse and pulling, and the clothes and hats are draped on the body, which can already have a certain effect. The moon was small and looming, but its faint light illuminated the way forward.

"Heaven wishes me ...... too" Du He snorted in a low voice, and immediately ordered the whole army to move quickly, he let the soldiers who were injured in the previous battle go first, and he led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters, and dealt with the possible pursuit of Xue Yantuo at any time in the back.

Du He's heart is a little strange now, the appearance of Xue Yantuo's pursuers means that his judgment is correct, and he has made the wisest decision, but in this way they will attack the Shanghou Junji madly. If Xue Yantuo's pursuers did not appear, it would mean that he had miscalculated and tired the soldiers of the whole army to run in vain on this rainy night. But overall, Duhe still hopes that this journey will be safe.

However, it backfired, and on the way back to the camp, the sound of a warning from Meng'er was already heard in the sky.

Tuoba Wushuang exclaimed, "It's coming, the enemy army is coming...... They were coming to the West. ”

Du He was stunned at first, but in the electric light, he already understood what was going on.

Hou Junji, a well-known general, had already seen through the disadvantages brought by the rainy day to the Tang army from the beginning of the fight, and planned to use the tactics of encircling the point to send reinforcements to wipe them out. But he was worried that Du He would also realize the problem and retreat in advance, so that all his calculations would fall short. After the previous defeat, Hou Junji no longer dared to underestimate Du He's existence, nor did he define the success of his tactics as Du He's ignorance. In order to better implement his tactics, on the night of the rain, he rounded some of his troops and horses to the southwest of the Duhe military camp. It can prevent Duhe's retreat, and after the rain stops, cut off Duhe's way as quickly as possible, and implement tactical encirclement, killing two birds with one stone.

He had already arranged his eyeliner in the dark, staring at Du Ho's every move.

Although Meng'er is a divine eagle, but the eagle is a daytime active creature, in the daytime, its eyes can clearly see the chicks more than ten miles away, but at night its vision will be greatly affected, can only see near objects, not to mention that these days are so cold, and the rain is so heavy. Meng'er was greatly affected, and Hou Junji's actions were not under its supervision.

It's hard to guess about other details, but Du He still figured out the general trend of the problem.

Assuming that he fled immediately at this time, before the whole army reached Li Ji's army, he was chased and killed by Hou Junji and the whole army was annihilated. But if he fought hard, it would at least ensure that the wounded soldiers who retreated first could return to Li Ji's camp safely.

Du He did not hesitate anymore and decisively ordered to meet Xue Yantuo's incoming troops.

Although Li Jing repeatedly emphasized that he was not allowed to fight field battles with Hou Junji, the current situation no longer allowed him to choose.

Hou Junji, regardless of his experience and intelligence, is the world's first-class, and taking advantage of this natural disaster has forced him not to fight.

"The Modao army met the enemy in front, the spearmen, sword and shield soldiers were the second and third columns, holding Tang crossbows and preparing to meet the enemy, Luo Tong led the cavalry as the left wing, and General Qibi He Li led the cavalry as the right wing...... Prepare to meet the enemy......"

In addition to learning tactics and strategies from Li Jing, Du He also learned some skills in arranging troops from Li Shimin. Li Shimin paid equal attention to the courage and strategy of the army, and he could not only win a decisive victory for thousands of miles like Li Jing, but also arrange troops and defeat the enemy like Hou Junji. In his ability to charge into battle, he is even better than Hou Junji, who is good at fighting hard battles.

Du He didn't dare to say that he had learned the essence of Li Shimin, but he still had three skills. Immediately, in view of the shortcomings of Xue Yantuo's cavalry, the most correct tactics were adopted.

But the formation has not yet been arranged, and tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo soldiers have already been killed.

"Lying down ......"

**********

"Steppenwolf descendants, assault! Trample on the bodies of these Tang people, use their blood, to sacrifice to the gods, and achieve our name of martial bravery! ”

Fan Hao, who led the charge, had a high-spirited fighting spirit flashing in his brown pupils. As soon as his cry fell, the surrounding Xue Yantuo soldiers roared, howling like thousands of wolves together! With this indescribable roar, they struck the Duhe army like a whirlwind.

Five hundred steps, two hundred and fifty steps, two hundred steps......

Without any orders, Xue Yantuo's soldiers had already taken out their bows and arrows, and before engaging the enemy head-on, they shot a round of arrows to disrupt the enemy's formation, which was their most common tactic. However, at this time, Fan Hao suddenly found that the Mo Dao Army of the enemy on the opposite side suddenly fell to the ground, revealing the soldiers full of crossbow arrows behind them!

The sky is full of crossbow arrows!

Fan Hao was dumbfounded and at a loss: the range of the Tang crossbow could reach more than three hundred steps at most, and the distance between the two armies was still less than two hundred steps, and it was too late to evacuate and retreat.

In an instant, the soul-chasing crossbow arrows pierced through the horse, and more than 300 cavalrymen died on the spot as soon as they made contact. Xue Yantuo's cavalry neighed, and the head of the formation was suddenly chaotic.

"Bite them and don't let up!" Du He's eyes lit up, and crossbow arrows were always a sharp weapon against the grassland peoples. In fact, without his special order, the trained crossbows will also be fired in layers in an orderly manner: once the crossbow arrows are entangled in a series of stacked shots at this distance, no matter how fast the enemy horse is, it will not be easy to break free from this net!

Fan Hao's heart was dripping with blood, and he remembered Hou Junji's words in his mind, once the crossbow arrows of the Tang Dynasty were entangled, the most effective way was to rush over and fight hand-to-hand with the Tang army with losses, so that the power of the crossbow arrows would not be able to be exerted. Otherwise, he would be hit with incalculable fatal blows, and he gritted his teeth, and the roaring commander used his body as a wall of flesh to approach the place.

Xue Yantuo's soldiers were not afraid of death, and although the casualties were extremely heavy at this time, the others were still like ants gathering, not flinching, and fighting bravely to be the first.

"Mo Dao Army, get up!" Seeing that Xue Yantuo's soldiers were about to rush closer, the Mo Dao Army, which was like a tank fortress, resisted the front line.

Almost at the same time, the left and right flanks of Luo Tong and Qi Bi He Li had also made contact with the enemy and started a-for-tat hand-to-hand battle.

Du He watched silently, and the dense figures rushed forward like ants. In this endless field, 10,000 soldiers marched into the battlefield full of death, launching a fierce attack on the enemy army on the opposite side. Attacking against attacking, the fight was extremely intense.

Du He was secretly anxious in his heart, and now except for the Mo Dao Army, the left and right flanks were in a state of stalemate. Both sides are trying to avoid heavy losses while waiting for an opportunity to bite the other's vital points.

It seems that the Tang Army has the upper hand, but it is not.

Hou Junji's on-the-spot command and combat experience are far above Du He, who has only participated in three battles, and it is difficult to gain an advantage by fighting hard with him. It is even more difficult to detect the flaws of the other party one step ahead of Hou Junji.

What to do?

Du He's thoughts kept changing, and once Hou Junji fought in person, it meant that he was defeated......

Wait a minute......

Waiting for him to fight?

Why didn't I play first?

Use the most primitive and stupid method to compare strength with Hou Junji, and let him fight to the death with himself, so that he won't have the opportunity to observe the battle situation on the sidelines and find out the flaws?
