The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 383 The crisis reappears, the situation is critical

It is only said that a personal guard blew the flute at the last moment.

The sound immediately resounded all around, alarming the rest of the guards.

Immediately, one of the captains of the guard immediately waved a spear and ordered to stop the patrol.

Afterwards, the guards immediately retreated and ran towards the city.

…………

At this time, Gao Qi was slowly inspecting the houses in the city.

However, since Tucheng was originally built to resist the Hu people, there were no people living there.

The houses are only built for the garrison soldiers, so it is not an exaggeration to call the Tucheng a military fortress!
Therefore, since this place has long been deserted and there is no army to defend it, the city has also been deserted.

"Report, King Qi!"

"The guards have just returned collectively, and there is an urgent military situation, and there is an ambush in the dense forest!"

In an instant, Chen Dao arrived at Gao Qi's side, clasping his hands to report.

Hearing this, Gao Qi didn't dare to neglect, and immediately led the crowd towards the city wall.

After all, this matter is no small matter, because Gao Qi only came for the purpose of investigation and did not lead the army.

If there is an ambush, the Yin Pavilion is hundreds of miles away from here.

Even if we can hear the news at that time, we may not be able to rush here for reinforcements.

Moreover, on the way, Gao Qi finally got the exact information, and he was relieved.

After all, this was just an ambush set up by Li Yuanji because of his jealousy.

What Gao Qi is most afraid of is that Hu people will come here to set up an ambush.

However, immediately after, an ominous premonition appeared in Gao Qi's mind.

Running to the top of the city wall, Gao Qi raised his head and looked out of the city.

Sure enough, I saw the Tang army forming a neat formation all around and slowly attacking.

Look at the battle situation, Gao Qi's troops have been surrounded in the center.

Seeing this, Gao Qi couldn't help but muttered to himself: "Like the scene of the Tang army, it's obvious that it was premeditated and arrived here to ambush."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible to prepare so well."

"It's just that inspecting this place alone is a secret in the army. Even the generals in the army only know about it at the last moment."

"How did Li Yuanji set up an ambush in advance when he knew that Gu was going to inspect this place?"

For a while, many questions arose in Gao Qi's mind, and he couldn't help solving them all.

"Could it be that there are traitors in the army?"

"No, is it?"

Originally, Gao Qi guessed in his mind that there was a traitor in the army, but then, a name suddenly appeared in his mind.

In an instant, Gao Qi couldn't help feeling a chill down his spine, a feeling of extreme fear.

"Yuan Shoucheng!"

For a while, Gao Qi had already confirmed that Yuan Shoucheng was responsible for this ingenious plan.

After all, Gao Qi was triggered by Yuan Shoucheng's skill that day.

However, what really puzzled Gao Qi was why Yuan Shoucheng would work for Li Yuanji and advise him?

It should be noted that Taoists like this are basically idle clouds and wild cranes, and rarely participate in the chaos of the world.

Not to mention that Li Yuanji is still an insidious villain, how could he be favored by Yuan Shoucheng?
However, all of this is not important anymore, because the Tang army has already attacked in a big way!

Seeing this, Gao Qi couldn't help frowning, slowly thinking about countermeasures.

After a long time, Gao Qi ordered in a deep voice: "The whole army quickly withdraw from the city."

Hearing this, the guards suddenly felt unbelievable, and stared at Gao Qi with strange eyes.

After all, now that the Tang army is galloping out of the city, isn't the withdrawal at this time hitting a stone with an egg, head-on?

Immediately, Chen Dao couldn't help asking: "King Qi, why is this so?"

"Our army should stick to the city now, and then send a general to rush out of the encirclement and ask for reinforcements."

"How can we give up the benefits of the city and fight head-on with Tang Jun?"

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, Gao Qi couldn't help but laughed noncommittally.

Then he slowly explained: "With this wall that is about to collapse, how can we resist it?"

"Moreover, our army is all cavalry pawns, and their strength is galloping freely in the wild, once the city is firmly defended."

"That is to use his weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths, how can he be undefeated?"

"Our army can only go out of the city to fight in the field, rely on mobility to deal with the Tang army, and take the opportunity to break out of the encirclement, which is the best policy!"

Chen Dao is not a rigid person, after Gao Qi's explanation, he also understood the benefits of going out of the city.

Therefore, all the troops followed the order and marched out of the city!

However, after seeing Gao Qi leading the cavalry out of the city, Li Yuanji immediately knew Gao Qi's intentions.

Immediately, he waved his horse and gave an order: "All the sergeants obey the order and stop marching."

"Put obstacles in front of the formation to block the cavalry of the Qi army."

For a while, the soldiers of the Tang army who were advancing slowly and rapidly heard the order, they couldn't help but stop marching one after another, and followed the order!

Seeing this, Gao Qi's face was serious, and he couldn't help saying "no".

Today, the Tang army is well prepared, even the obstacles to restrain the horses are all available.

It's just, but the arrow is on the string, and it has reached the point where it has to be launched.

"Soldiers, the Tang army is trying to wipe out our army, how can we let them do so?"

"Kill, kill, kill a bloody path!"

As soon as the words fell, Gao Qi swung his spear first, and rushed out like an arrow that left the string!

Immediately, Dian Wei and Chen on the side came to guard on both sides to protect his safety.

Immediately afterwards, many guard cavalry also galloped towards the Tang army without fear.

For a moment, the cavalry of the Qi army carried a high momentum, and suddenly they seemed to be galloping like ten thousand horses.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Qi army had entered the range, the Tang army gave an order in an instant.

"Archer, let go!"

In an instant, countless arrows in the sky were like locusts crossing the border, slowly attacking the cavalry of the Qi army.

"Ah, ah!"

Immediately, the guards fell one after another, and the screams were endless!
At this moment, Gao Qi's heart was bleeding.

It must be known that the personal guards are Gao Qi's real imperial guards, who are usually responsible for guarding his safety.

It can be said that he is a brother who lives and dies together, and his usual training in the army is several times that of other sergeants.

Its military pay is also the most advanced in the army.

However, at this moment, one after another of the guards fell in a pool of blood, how could Gao Qi not hate him?

However, war is cruel and will not end because of sympathy.

The arrows are still going on, because Gao Qi's martial arts has reached the peak of first-class, and there are Dian Wei and Chen Daoqi guarding him on both sides.

Therefore, the mere arrows are basically advancing!

Soon, the pro-guards marched to the front of the Tang army by virtue of their mobility.

However, looming, there was a refusal formation in front of the Tang army to intercept it.

Afterwards, the pikemen in the Tang army moved out slowly, wantonly harvesting the heads of the pro-guards.

In the blink of an eye, the casualties of the pro-guard army doubled immediately, and they couldn't stand out from the encirclement at all.

In the end, in order to reduce casualties, Gao Qi had to order a slow retreat.

Immediately, the Tang army gradually pressed on, and the situation of the Qi army was extremely critical!
