Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1089
The grandfather and grandson get along very strangely. Just listening to the conversation between the two, it feels like a pair of old enemies are hurting each other.

After all, they are intergenerational relatives. Li Qinzai is unscrupulous in front of Li Ji, and Li Ji can tolerate his arrogance. Both of them enjoy this different way of getting along.

If it was Li Siwen, Li Qinzai must be as honest as a quail in front of him, and he would not say a word of truth, and he would speak nonsense in a serious manner, ensuring that Li Siwen would believe every word of nonsense.

In contrast, Li Ji knew his grandson better, and almost immediately knew whether what the grandson said was true or not as soon as he glanced at it.

…………

A letter was handed over from the Tang army camp to Qibi Heli, who was twenty miles away from Bocao City.

The letter was written by Li Qinzai himself, which elaborated on his thoughts on spear and shield.

The appearance of thickened shields on enemy troops has changed many things on the battlefield.

Including the formation of the Tang army, the collocation of various arms, the order of offense and defense, and the on-the-spot command ability of the coach, etc.

After Qibi Heli received the letter, he didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly summoned the generals to discuss the matter.

Regarding the enemy's shields, Li Qinzai's suggestions are quite feasible, and the analysis of the pros and cons of the enemy and the enemy on the battlefield is very accurate.

A person who is really capable is not just inventing something powerful, but when an unexpected change occurs, he can propose a countermeasure in time. No matter how the enemy changes, I will always be able to overwhelm them.

A talent will always be a talent, and your uncle will always be your uncle.

The trebuchet was a huge thing, and it was difficult to assemble at the moment.

But mines, it's time to use them.

At midnight, the Tang army sent a team of thousands of people to quietly go five miles outside the city of Bopan, and quietly began to dig a hole...

Early the next morning, Qibi Heli ordered the Tang army to pull out of the camp and march towards Bobao City.

The previous night, the Goguryeo Army in Boqiang City's raid on the Tang Army's camp failed in the end, but their greater achievement was to prove the effectiveness of thickened shields.

So when the scouts reported the signs of the Tang army's mobilization of troops, the guards of the city of Bobo were overjoyed.

Isn't this here to give away the head?
If it hadn't been too high-profile, the Goguryeo guard would have wished to arrange a celebration banquet in advance.

As soon as the Tang army pulled out the camp, Boba City received the news. After thinking about it, the guard immediately dispatched [-] soldiers and horses out of the city to fight.

The defense of the city is passive, and the thickened shield cannot be used.Meeting the enemy on the plain outside the city is the most reasonable choice.

It's hard to come up with a weapon that restrains the Tang army's firearms. Of course, it must be used in the right place, and it will be used in an aggressive manner to hurt each other.

Five miles away from the city, on a flat plain, the Goguryeo army had just set up their formation when they saw banners covering the sun in the distance, and tens of thousands of Tang troops coming towards them.

The Goguryeo guard suddenly became short of breath, and stared at Tang Jun in the distance with red eyes, his eyes full of desire for power and merit.

The scouts had already reported that this Tang army was their main force.

At this moment, in his eyes, the Tang army has become his possession. If the Tang army can be defeated outside Bobao City, then the Tang army's eastward expedition will still end in failure just like the 19th year of Zhenguan. Emperor Taizong died of depression because of this.

What Goguryeo could do back then, it can do today as well.

If he did, then he would be the number one hero in defeating the Tang army, and when he returned to the capital, Pyongyang, no matter how much the lord rewarded him, it would not be too much.

The more the guard thought about it, the more excited he was, and the hand holding the rein on the horse became more and more forceful, as if he was using all his strength to grasp the coming power.

"Array!" The guard drew his sword and shouted.

The Koguryo army quickly formed a phalanx. In the front row of the team, thousands of thickened shields were tightly stitched together, like a steel embankment that cannot be broken by floods.

Tang Jun soon came to the plain outside the city. When the two armies were three miles apart, Tang Jun stopped and calmly formed a formation.

Then, there was a suffocating silence.

The soldiers of the two armies looked at each other from a distance, and a murderous aura surged into the sky in the silence. The summer wind blew past, raising smoke and dust on the plain.

Qibi Heli rode a horse and stood in the middle of the army, squinting his eyes to look at the formation of the Goguryeo army in the distance, and a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

"Send the order, beat the drum!" Qi Bi He Li ordered.

The rumbling drum sounded, and the soldiers on both sides seemed to have heard the signal. The two armies moved forward at the same time, facing each other, like a two-way love.

When the distance between the two sides was about one mile, the sound of the drum suddenly stopped, and the footsteps of the soldiers of the Tang army also stopped.

Then, under the general's stern reprimand, the soldiers of the Tang army raised their three-eyed guns one after another, aiming at the Goguryeo army that was still advancing ahead.

"Get ready!" Hei Chi Changzhi of the Vanguard Battalion raised his arms high, his eyes fixed on the Goguryeo army who were getting closer and closer to the shooting range.

Thousands of three-eyed blunderbusses were raised straight ahead.

At the same time, the shields of the Goguryeo Army's front line were also joined together, and there was not even a gap between the shields, but their advancing speed unknowingly slowed down.

Seeing this, Qibi Heli, who was standing in the middle army, immediately smiled knowingly.

Li Qinzai was right in his letter. When the opponent's defense is enhanced, the speed of advancement must be sacrificed. One point increased here will be reduced by one point elsewhere. This is the way of heaven.

When Hei Chi Changzhi saw the Goguryeo army advancing to a distance of [-] steps, Hei Chi Changzhi slammed his arm down and shouted, "Let go!"

The loud noise and gunpowder smoke rise at the same time, and disappear into the world at the same time.

As expected by the Goguryeo defender, Tang Jun's first volley of firearms hit the shields of the Goguryeo army in front, but the Goguryeo army was unscathed.

The firearms of the Tang Dynasty, which are famous all over the world, suffered a big loss here today.

The Goguryeo defender was ecstatic, and soon, the Goguryeo rear army also began to beat drums.

This is a signal to urge the soldiers to advance quickly.

As long as the Goguryeo soldiers advance within [-] steps of the Tang army's front line, the two sides will fight hand-to-hand, and the guard will have sufficient confidence that the Tang army will not be able to defeat Goguryeo.

The battle fell into a stalemate from the very beginning.

Qibi Heli stared unblinkingly at the arrays of the two sides getting closer and closer, but he remained calm on the horse, watching the front row of the Goguryeo army advance with shields, Qibi Heli not only did not feel the pressure , but a little want to laugh.

"Do you really think that the three-eyed gun is the only firearm in Tang Dynasty?" Qibi He Li murmured.

When the Goguryeo army advanced to more than 100 steps away from the Tang army's formation, a sudden change occurred.

A soldier in the front row holding a shield was on the way to advance, and stepped on it with his right foot. I don't know if it was an illusion, but he heard a "click" sound from the ground under his feet.

Is there an agency in the field?
The soldier shook his head, quickly dismissing this ridiculous thought.

The right leg was raised, and the left leg was about to fall, when suddenly there was a louder sound than the three-eyed blunderbuss, and finally... the soldier didn't know what happened, he was blown up to the sky, and then lost forever awareness.

Before he closed his eyes, he could clearly see his arms, legs and internal organs falling down like a rain of bloody flowers all over the sky.

The blood is like the setting sun, very beautiful.
