Turbulent Times Chapter 1635: Hou Junji died like this

Hou Junji always felt that something was wrong, but in the end he nodded and said: "The third son is right, and he will eventually agree to camp here."

Li Yuanji felt more at ease, and said with a smile: "Then pass on the commander's order and camp on the spot!"

As for the sneak attack by the cavalry of the Wagang camp at night, to be honest, Hou Junji has also considered it, but he thinks it is unlikely. Even if the Wagang camp wants to surround the camp for reinforcements, the distance is still far away, and the time has not come yet. .

However, the Special Forces of the Far East Army, which had caused him a great loss, might attack and harass him.

Additionally, Li Yuanji is the coach after all, and since the coach has made a decision and explained to him as the deputy general, Hou Junji can no longer object, and he immediately sent an order: "The coach has an order, camp on the spot!"

"The coach has ordered, set up camp on the spot!"

………

………

An order was passed down, and 50,000 soldiers of the Li family army began to camp on the spot, setting up tents one after another.

Hou Junji personally arranged and arranged hundreds of thousands of spears around the camp, and then surrounded the camp with carts. He didn't feel careless because he only stayed for one night.

Afterwards, Hou Junji personally led his own soldiers to inspect the defense. He paid close attention to every detail. According to his character, he should have erected a fence, but it was a pity that the fence was difficult to carry, so he had no choice but to give up.

Unexpectedly, at this time Li Yuanji led a group of staff and personal soldiers to check around, turned around, and said to Hou Junji: "General Hou, please arrange to set up ten watchtowers. Watchtowers should also be erected to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the water."

"The general obeys." Hou Junji accepted the order with his fists clasped, and nodded secretly. He was about to order this matter just now, but he did not expect Li Yuanji to be able to think of these things for the first time leading the army, which is indeed appreciated.

Li Yuanji glanced at Hou Junji, and then ordered: "The grain depot battalion must be outside the range of the rockets. I heard that the special forces of the Far East Army like to attack grain and grass most!"

……

With the help of several staff around him, Li Yuanji checked very carefully, found five or six loopholes in a row, and ordered Hou Junji to arrange people to rectify them. Hou Junji actually checked out these problems, and some of them have already been arranged. People did it, and now they have arranged it again in front of Li Yuanji, and I am more satisfied and trust Li Yuanji's ability in my heart.

The 50,000 horses they led this time were all the elite of the Li family army, including 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry. All soldiers are equipped with Mingguang armor, prepared spears and horizontal knives, each soldier has a bow and arrow, and a round shield, and even the horses are Turkic horses. In the Great Sui Dynasty, only the elite of the government army could be equipped with such excellent equipment.

Among the 50,000 troops, 30,000 veterans were trained by Hou Junji, so he has a high prestige in this army.

Thus, even though Li Yuanji is the third prince of the Tang king, as long as Hou Junji is still alive, it will be difficult for him to completely control this army.

As a result, it was difficult for Li Yuanji's staff to fully control the army.

With the joint efforts of Hou Junji and Li Yuanji's staff, the 50,000 soldiers of the Li family camped, cooked and rested in an orderly manner.

In the middle of the night, apart from the necessary fixed guards and lurking sentries, the generals and soldiers of the Li family army had already entered the tents to sleep.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and at one o'clock, a piercing alarm suddenly came from the sentry tower

With the sound of , some nimble black figures appeared in the camp, some grain and tents were burned, and there were several terrifying explosions.

"Someone really stole the camp." Hou Junji reacted very quickly. He quickly and loudly ordered the generals at all levels to control their soldiers and not run around. Soon the chaos in the camp weakened and order was gradually restored.

In fact, the most fearful thing about stealing camp at night is that you will panic first. At least, it is easy for the enemy to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack or escape, and at worst, it will even cause the camp to scream.

After the arrangements were made, Hou Junji brought some of his own soldiers to find Li Yuanji. Under such an occasion, he must not let something happen to King Tang's son, otherwise his future would be bleak no matter how great his contribution was.

And this kind of stealing camp at night is the most likely to cause chaos, even the coach will have accidents, so he can only feel at ease by watching Li Yuanji himself.

When Hou Junji came, a group of personal soldiers guarded Li Yuanji tightly, and Li Yuanji ordered the personal soldiers to step aside and let Hou Junji come over.

But at this moment, suddenly a figure emerged from behind the tent not far away, and a fist-sized object came out to this side.

A staff member shouted: "Third Young Master, be careful, it is a gunpowder weapon of the Far Eastern Army."

Hou Junji reacted very quickly. He was a master of martial arts and knew the power of the gunpowder weapons of the Far Eastern Army.

Several of Li Yuanji's staff and personal soldiers also rushed over, the scene was in chaos, and a huge explosion roared.

But at the moment when Hou Junji threw Li Yuanji down, he suddenly felt as if he had been hit hard in the back of his heart, and then there was a huge pain in his heart, his entire heart was pierced, and he was on the spot. The face is unbelievably dead.

The grenade set off a rain of blood and screams. More than a dozen soldiers were killed and seven or eight soldiers were injured.

Because it was night, the field of vision was not light, and the soldiers were all facing the outside. No one saw that at that moment, a tube-shaped thing protruded from the wide sleeve of the staff behind Li Yuanji, and it was pressed against Li Yuanji. At the back of Yuan Ji's heart, there was a faint flame flickering instantly. The sound was actually quite loud, but once it was covered by the sound of the explosion, and no one at the scene had heard this sound, it was difficult to be noticed.

"Protect the third son and General Hou." The staff shouted loudly.

The guards guarded Li Yuanji and Hou Junji who were crawling on the ground, but the shadow with a hand grenade had already run away, like a ghost in the dark night, a large group of soldiers from the Li family army were behind Roaring and chasing after him, he quickly moved away from here.

"Ah! Blood!" Li Yuanji screamed.

"The third son is injured, hurry up and call the doctor, hurry up." The staff who had hidden their sleeves in the middle of the room for the first time ordered loudly.

Just waiting for a group of soldiers to help Li Yuanji up. Although the latter has a lot of blood on his body, he found that the deputy general Hou Junji was not up at all.

"General Hou seems to be injured too." A soldier exclaimed.

Li Yuanji was startled, and quickly asked someone to help Hou Junji up, only to find that Hou Junji was dead.

"No, General Hou was killed by the gunpowder weapon of the Far Eastern Army in order to protect the third son." This time it was not the staff who shouted, but another soldier.

A crowd of Hou Junji's guards at the scene was suddenly in a commotion, and they ran over to have a look and check, it was really true

The gunpowder weapon wounded the general.

As Li Yuanji looked at Hou Junji's heart injury, his face turned pale, and after a while of fear and palpitations, he thought that if Hou Junji hadn't pushed him to the ground just now, he would have died already.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanji was full of gratitude to Hou Junji, and the staff next to him whispered something in his ear at the right time, Li Yuanji gritted his teeth and said: "Damn the Far East Army, I swear here, I will definitely do it for you." General Hou's revenge..."

……

……

Although Hou Junji has a high prestige in this army, he is already dead. After all, Li Yuanji is the son of Tang Wang Li Yuan, and he has also shown a very good ability to command the army these days, so there is no trouble. How hard it is to completely control this army.

The next day Li Yuanji ordered the troops to continue marching. Halfway there, a messenger covered in blood stopped the army and was brought to Li Yuanji.

"Third son, the villain is a messenger sent by the second son. There is a secret letter in it. Please have a look at it." With the help of Li Yuanji's two soldiers, the messenger took out a secret letter from his pocket. letter.

Li Yuanji took a look and frowned. This is Li Shimin's personal letter, which means to tell them not to go any further, to prevent Xu Shiji from encircling the spot for reinforcements, but to order them to station their troops in an orderly tone. At a place ten miles northeast of Hanzhong County, the Far East Army was formed to form horns, while the Wagang Battalion was deterred and its strength and energy were restrained, depending on the situation, whether to fight or not.

Li Yuanji has already become dependent on the staff member he picked up these days. While ordering someone to take the messenger down to rest and heal his injuries, he handed over the secret letter to the staff member next to him.

The staff member took a look at the letter and said in a low voice: "My lord, there are only 40,000 Far Eastern troops outside Hanzhong County, and they are still exhausted after many days of fighting. My lord has brought 50,000 elite soldiers to help this time. It is a new and cutting-edge army. In fact, the situation of the battle is already doomed, and the city of Hanzhong County is as stable as Mount Tai. But if the lord follows the order of the second son and stationed near the city of Hanzhong County, it will only serve as a deterrent. After the war, how will the credit be divided by the King of Tang? , the second son will definitely say that he alone guarded Hanzhong County."

Li Yuanji was already jealous of Li Shimin to death, and he was very eager for military exploits in his heart, and these days he had already trusted his staff very much, so when he heard it now, he immediately felt deeply convinced, and said in a gloomy voice: "Then From your point of view, what should we do?"

The staff thought for a while and said: "We might as well follow the second son's order to camp in the valley first, and after a day's rest, we will go to steal the camp by surprise at night. Xu Shiji is victorious these days, so he must not have imagined that the master is so courageous. At that time, the Wagang camp will be caught off guard, and there will inevitably be chaos. The second son will definitely find something, and then send a large army out of the city to meet him. At that time, the threat of going to Hanzhong County will be broken in one fell swoop. Your Highness, when it comes to merit, the lord will be the first one."

When Li Yuanji heard this, his blood boiled in his heart, he nodded and said: "Very well, I will do as the master said."

………

………

After Li Yuanji led 50,000 reinforcements to station nearby, Xu Shiji ordered to stop the siege and began to strengthen the camp's various defenses.

The abnormality of the Far Eastern Army made Li Shimin in Hanzhong City secretly rejoice, thinking that it was fortunate that he let Li Yuanji and Hou Junji station nearby, and did not attack rashly.
