Li Zhi, don't be a coward

The five thousand Goguryeo troops were a huge hidden danger. From the moment they walked out of Cangyan City, Li Qinzai's heart was shrouded in a shadow.

Not only can this army not be used for itself, but it will stab a knife in the back at a critical moment.

Such an army must be eliminated, but tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tang army will pay with their lives if they have the slightest bit of compassion in their hearts, and the Great Tang's Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo will come to naught.

Li Qinzai could not gamble the loyalty of this descending army with Datang's national fortune, Li Zhi's dream, and the lives of tens of thousands of Tang soldiers.

If it is not sure whether they are loyal, then they will be completely wiped out.

That's what war is all about.

The faces of the soldiers of the Three Thousand Vanguard Battalion of the Tang Army were illuminated by the fire, and each face was full of calm murderous intent. The three-eyed guns in their hands were aimed at the Five Thousand Goguryeo Army.

Hei Chi Chang Zhi rode on the horse, staring at Jin Zhen Xuan who was not far away, with a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Ready to attack—!"

A messenger of the Tang army waved a small flag and galloped on horseback in the formation of the vanguard battalion.

The three-eyed guns in the front row were raised and held flat, and the soldiers waited quietly for the general's order.

Jin Zhenxuan on the opposite side was startled and angry. He had already seen Tang Jun's powerful firearms outside Cangyan City.

Now this firearm is aimed at himself.

"Preemptive attack, otherwise we will lose!" Jin Zhenxuan gritted his teeth fiercely, raised his waist knife and shouted: "The whole army is attacking! Kill——!"

Five thousand Goguryeo soldiers roared and rushed towards the forward battalion of the Tang Army.

Hei Chi Chang Zhi smiled coldly, and then shouted violently, "Let go!"

There was a loud noise, and the blue smoke quickly dissipated in the night sky.

The Goguryeo army suddenly turned upside down, and a large area fell down.

"Push forward, push them down!" Hei Chi Changzhi ordered loudly.

The formation of the vanguard battalion began to move forward slowly, slowly approaching the Goguryeo army step by step.

Jin Zhenxuan stared at Tang Jun who was approaching step by step with red eyes.

When I watched the Tang army attacking the enemy at the top of Cangyan City, I only felt that the Tang army had powerful firearms and defeated the enemy easily.

However, when it was his turn to face Tang Jun in person, he felt a deep powerlessness, as if his enemy was an unshakable mountain, and there was no possibility of defeating it at all.

The Tang army's formation was perfectly coordinated, especially the firearms in their hands, which continuously harvested the lives of the soldiers. The robes under his command could not charge to the front of the Tang army at all, and were killed by firearms.

There were screams and roars, and countless lives died under the guns of the Tang army. After three rounds of salvo, the Goguryeo soldiers were defeated, and the original neat formation became shattered.

Jin Zhenxuan saw everything in his eyes, gritted his teeth but could do nothing.

Obviously, it is impossible to defeat the Tang army in this battle tonight. Since he cannot win, he can only lead the army to flee. He cannot let the entire army be wiped out.

Tang Jun couldn't tolerate him, and Goguryeo couldn't tolerate him either, so he could go to Izumi Nanjian.

Regardless of whether Quan Nanjian is a traitor usurping the throne or not, as long as he can lead an army to resist the Tang army, Jin Zhenxuan is willing to serve him loyally.

"Retreat, the whole army retreats to the north!" Jin Zhenxuan said decisively.

At this moment, the Goguryeo army has actually lost nearly half, and the morale of the army has been greatly hit, and it is about to collapse.

Jin Zhenxuan's order made the soldiers turn around and run away as if they had received amnesty.

The Vanguard Battalion was still methodically firing salvos at the fleeing crowd in Goguryeo, filling them with medicine, and making up for them.

The enemy army was almost out of the range of the three-eyed guns, and the formation of the vanguard battalion was still motionless, showing no intention of pursuing them at all.

Heizhi Changzhi stood in front of the formation, squinting at the back of the defeated Goguryeo army, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth deepened.

Jin Zhenxuan's wishful thinking is obviously too naive.

Since Tang Jun came prepared, how could he let go of Goguryeo's retreat?
Just when Jin Zhenxuan led his troops out of the range of the three-eyed blunderbuss of the Qianfeng Battalion, if nothing else happened, the accident happened.

A long horn sounded from the north, and suddenly the torches were lit in the forest, one, two, thousands of torches...

In the dim light of the fire, a 5000-strong Tang army appeared in front of the Goguryeo army, blocking their way to escape.

Wearing a battle armor, Liu Renyuan stared coldly at the Koguryo army coming in like a tide. When he was close to the shooting range, Liu Renyuan waved his hand violently.

"put!"

Amidst the screams, countless lives were harvested.

Jin Zhenxuan's face was pale and his whole body was cold.

In desperation, a thought popped up in his mind, is it possible... Everything tonight has been calculated by Tang Jun, including that he will incite the soldiers while he is drunk and lead his troops to rebel against Tang.

is it possible?
So, why did the coach of the Tang army send wine to the Goguryeo camp for no reason?

Jin Zhenxuan seemed to understand something, but it didn't matter anymore.

With the sound of a gunshot, Jin Zhenxuan was shaken all over. He touched his neck subconsciously, and found that a lot of blood was inexplicably gushing out of his neck. The blood gushed out like a fountain, and it couldn't be stopped.

Jin Zhenxuan's vision began to blur, his consciousness gradually left his body, and finally he fell on this land.

…………

Tang army camp.

A scout rushed to Li Qinzai.

"Report--! Li Shuai, the [-] Goguryeo army has been wiped out. The two generals Wang Fangyi and Liu Renyuan cut off the enemy's retreat, and none of them let go."

"The battle is over at this time, and our army is cleaning the battlefield."

Li Qinzai nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Tell the two generals that there is no need to keep alive, and if you encounter any wounded, kill them on the spot."

The scout took the order, turned around and left quickly.

About an hour later, Wang Fangyi and Liu Renyuan waited for the generals to come back in blood, and all five thousand Goguryeo troops were wiped out, leaving no one alive.

Li Qinzai breathed a sigh of relief, this disaster was finally eliminated.

After pondering for a moment, Li Qinzai said: "The scribes in the army are drafting a memorial, and the flying horse will send it to Chang'an and Yinggong Li Jida's general manager."

"On June [-]th of the second year of Linde, the [-] Goguryeo army under the command of Quan Boys suddenly rebelled. The Goguryeo general Jin Zhenxuan attempted to lead his troops to raid our Tang army camp. The rebellious army has been completely wiped out, and the enemy chief, Jin Zhenxuan, took the lead."

After all the generals looked at each other, they clasped their fists together and said, "What Li Shuai said is true, the general will prove it."

Li Qinzai smiled. Everyone knew the truth, but no one could find fault with him when the rebels were wiped out tonight. Even if the censor was watching tonight, it was Goguryeo who rebelled first, and he just It was the suppression of the rebellion.

Five thousand rebels were eliminated, not only Li Qinzai, but all the generals of the Tang army breathed a sigh of relief.

"The whole army rests for another day, and the day after tomorrow, they will break out and sweep the eastern part of Goguryeo!"

"Generals, our army is about to attack the city and plunder the land. The credit is in front of you. Go and get it yourself. After this battle, the emperor will definitely reward you."

The generals were overjoyed and cheered one after another.

A trilogy hurriedly came to report: "Li Shuai, the father and son of the boy from Quan are asking to see him outside the camp."
