Li Zhi, don't be a coward

The battle clouds are densely covered, and the mountains and rains are about to come.

All the camps of the [-] troops moved, and the scene was magnificent.

After Li Ji's military order was issued, no one dared to neglect it. Famous generals such as Qibi Heli, Gao Kan and others who joked with Li Ji and even scolded each other on weekdays also honestly carried out Li Ji's military order.

The commander of the three armies, once the military order is issued, no one dares to disobey it. No one dares to question Li Ji's military order, let alone doubt the correctness of Li Ji's military order.

Regarding the judgment of the situation, the timing of the shot, as well as the direction and target of the attack, Li Ji's decisions have always been very precise and steady.

During the Zhenguan period, when the famous general of the Tang Dynasty was in full bloom, the only one who could overwhelm Li Ji was Li Jing, the god of war. Later, Li Jing passed away, and Li Ji was the undisputed number one in terms of fighting with troops.

He has fought all his life, has never been defeated, and the famous general is old. Now is the last battle of Li Ji's life. It can be said that every decision he makes is based on his life-long experience and judgment. In this respect, no one can compare to him .

Gao Kan led [-] soldiers and horses to set off first. According to Li Ji's military order, [-] soldiers and horses must annihilate Goguryeo's [-] troops, at least defeat them, and destroy Goguryeo's plan to regain the east.

There are nearly [-] soldiers and horses left in the Tang Army camp, including Li Qinzai's troops who joined the army.

It is reasonable to say that the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong. The characteristic of the Tang Dynasty's battles has always been to attack more with less. There are often recorded deeds in the history books. The Tang army often defeated tens of thousands with thousands of troops. Now the main force of the Tang army still has more than [-]. Naturally Wealth wars rarely seen in decades.

The so-called "wealthy" is only in terms of the number of Tang troops in previous battles. In fact, in terms of the number of soldiers and horses on both sides of the enemy and us, the Tang army is actually still at a disadvantage.

Although Goguryeo has been repeatedly defeated and retreated, with the addition of the army defending the capital Pyongyang, there are still at least 20 soldiers and horses in the whole country, almost twice that of the Tang army.

After all, they were fighting on other people's land, and the Tang army had already lost its favorable location and harmony. Even if the entire army of Goguryeo was wiped out, it would still be able to recruit hundreds of thousands of mobs to continue fighting on the spot at the order of the king.

It can be seen that the conquest of Goguryeo by two dynasties and three emperors all failed, which is indeed very difficult.

The soldiers in the camp were all preparing to pack their tents, sharpen their knives and halberds, and put on their armor.

Li Qinzai, however, relied on Li Ji's command post and refused to leave.

"Do you still have something to do? Or, do you have doubts about the old man's arrangement?" Li Ji glanced at him and said.

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "Don't dare, grandpa is brilliant and great, how dare grandson question it."

Li Ji stroked his beard and said: "If you have something to talk about, just get out if you have nothing to do. Don't test the old man's patience."

Li Qinzai hesitated for a moment, then said: "Grandson thinks that grandpa should not be tired after a long journey. It is better to stay in Liaodong City. The soldiers and horses attacking the three cities of Wugu have their own generals and commanders. Grandpa doesn't have to worry about it. You are getting old, and grandson is worried about danger. ..."

Li Ji sneered: "What nonsense are you talking about! This old man is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. The military order has been issued and the whole army is dispatched. Why can't this old man advance and retreat with the soldiers? Could it be that the enemy will sneak into the commander's tent and assassinate me?"

Li Qinzai said nothing.

The two countries are at war, is there any incident of assassinating the coaches of both sides?
Of course, the purpose of war is to win. As long as it can win, all kinds of means are reasonable, including assassination secretly. Isn't the special warfare team formed by Li Qinzai just for this?

In fact, since Li Ji led his army into Goguryeo, he encountered no less than ten assassinations against Li Ji. However, the Tang army camp was heavily guarded, and the enemy was killed by the patrolling soldiers before he even entered the camp.

The most dangerous time was during the march, when the enemy calculated the timing of Li Ji's passing, countless boulders rolled down from the mountain, almost crushing Li Ji into a pulp.

These were all told to Li Qinzai secretly by the trilogy around Li Ji after the two armies joined forces.

Li Qinzai was worried not only about Li Ji's safety, but also about his health.

After all, Li Ji is already an old man in his 70s, and this final battle of his life has almost exhausted his blood.

After the two armies joined forces, Li Qinzai could see that Li Ji was obviously much older, with more gray hair on his head.

At this age, Li Qinzai was very worried that an accident would happen to his body.

"Since Grandpa has made all the arrangements, why don't you stay in Liaodong City and wait for the good news. After the three cities are conquered, the trilogy will carry you to Black Bone City in soft sedan chairs. At that time, the streets inside and outside the city will be lined with knees to welcome you. How majestic it will be." Li Qinzai persuaded without giving up.

Li Ji looked him up and down, and said, "What's the fuss about you today? Why do you have to stop the old man from going with the army? I can't explain the reason. Don't blame the old man for hanging you on the flagpole to be calm and calm."

Li Qinzai opened his mouth and sighed wryly.

He really couldn't give a reason, or in other words, he didn't have a legitimate reason. Worrying about Li Ji's body must be meaningless and naive in Li Ji's view. The responsibilities on Li Ji's shoulders did not allow him to slack off.

"Okay, grandpa, take care of yourself, grandson will accompany you on the march, and make chicken soup for you every day to replenish your body." Li Qinzai sighed.

Li Ji sneered: "Accompany me on the march? What good things do you want?"

Li Qinzai was stunned.

Li Ji suddenly said in a deep voice: "Li Qinzai, the head of the marching army of Benzhou Road, listens to the order!"

Li Qinzai cupped his fists subconsciously and bowed: "The end is here!"

"Lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters, set off in two hours, travel between the two cities of Bobao and Huyi, and set up an ambush. When our main force attacks the second city of Wugubobao, there must be enemy reinforcements rushing towards the city of Huyi. , what you have to do is to snipe the enemy reinforcements and cut off the connection between Boba and the two cities of humiliating barbarians."

Li Qinzai blinked, he understood Li Ji's intention.

Surrounding the spot to fight for reinforcements is a very classic tactic. Qibi Heli, Xue Rengui and the others attacked the two cities of Wuguboba, and Li Qinzai was responsible for sniping the enemy's reinforcements. If successful, it would be a huge drain on the enemy.

As expected of a veteran, he is really treacherous and cunning, even if it is his own grandfather, Li Qinzai couldn't help but want to give him a reward, and be his big brother...

Then the problem is coming...

"Grandpa, anyone can do this job, why let your grandson do it?"

After meeting Li Qinzai, he really wanted to show off. His idea was very simple. With his current military exploits, he was already a passing grade. Why should he work so hard?

Li Qinzai said with a face of reluctance: "The grandson has devoted himself to fighting for the country. He has not recovered from his long-weary body, and coughs up blood when he speaks, coughing... It is really inappropriate to lead the army again."

Li Ji stroked his beard and smiled: "The old man's subordinates are all famous generals and old friends. Since the expedition, he has wanted to show his prestige many times. He really can't bear to attack his old friends. I didn't expect you to dare to disobey the old man's military orders. Haha, it's a surprise, this is not delivered to your door." Yet?"

Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched, and before Li Ji gave an order, he hastily said loudly: "The last general obeys the order and will set off immediately! Grandpa calm down, the most promising son of our Li family is right in front of you, don't play around!"

Li Ji sneered: "You dog, you can't cure you!"
