Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1025
The situation Li Qinzai faced was a bit grim.

It doesn't mean that with a sharp firearm, you can really be invincible in the world, there is nothing so cheap in the world.

The outcome of a war is determined by people, and the bravery of the Goguryeo army made Li Qinzai feel that this country was not as easy to destroy as he imagined, otherwise the emperors of the Sui and Tang Dynasties would not have failed several times in their eastern expeditions.

Now Li Qinzai's army has less than [-] soldiers that can be used. As for the tens of thousands of soldiers in Silla and Japan... don't count on it. Li Qinzai has no expectations of them, no matter their loyalty or combat power.

Not only that, but beware of them stabbing in the back.

The 3 Tang army against the more than [-] Goguryeo army seems to be no problem, but Li Qinzai's troops are not only fighting this battle, but he will also lead his troops to continue northward.

If you can't capture the capital Pyongyang, you have to detour to join Li Ji's main force, so the [-] Tang army can't be consumed in this battle, otherwise how will you live in the future?
How to achieve the maximum casualty effect on the enemy with the minimum cost of casualties is a question that Li Qinzai thinks about day and night.

While thinking about it, Bu Qu came to report, and Li Ji, the main force of the Eastern Expedition, sent a messenger.

Since Li Qinzai led his troops to land on the Haidong Peninsula, he and Li Ji had frequent exchanges of intelligence letters, almost every three or four days.

The messenger brought good news this time. Li Ji led his troops to break through Goguryeo's defenses on the western front.

In June of the second year of Linde, Li Ji led his troops to break through sixteen Goguryeo cities.

Naturally, the Goguryeo army would not sit still, and assembled a large army of 15, deployed in the east of the Liao River, facing off against the [-] main force of the Tang Dynasty.

A few days later, Qibi Heli, the appeasement envoy of Liaodong Road, led an army of [-] to defeat Goguryeo's Nansu City. The [-] Mohe army defending the city retreated. Goguryeo humiliated barbarians and traveled to two cities.

On the western front, the main force of the Tang army won successive victories, and the battle was in full swing.

Li Ji urged Li Qinzai to send troops as soon as possible in the military newspaper, and the two armies cooperated to form a north-south flanking strategy against Goguryeo.

Putting down the military newspaper, Li Qinzai pondered for a long time, and ordered to beat the drums and gather the generals.

It's time to send troops, with more than 3 enemy troops standing in front, don't they dare to do anything every day, just scold each other?
After the three-way drum, all the middle and high-level generals in the army gathered in the commander's tent, even Jin Yuxin, who was riding a horse, arrived early this time, and did not give Li Qinzai the slightest chance to trick him.

So, has this guy changed his car to a Rolls-Royce?
All the generals gathered, Li Qinzai didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point.

"At Maoshi tomorrow, the whole army will launch an attack on the enemies of Goguryeo." Li Qinzai said succinctly.

All the generals clasped their fists in awe-inspiring response.

"Liu Ren is willing to lead two thousand soldiers and horses, leave the camp at midnight tonight, walk around a long way from the west, and set up an ambush [-] miles away. The left wing of the enemy's camp is Songshangang. After the two armies fight tomorrow, he will lead his troops to take their troops. Big camp, seal off their escape route."

"Let Wang Fangyi and Sun Renshi each lead [-] soldiers and horses. After the battle tomorrow, they will divide into left and right wings to outflank the enemy and form a half-moon encirclement."

"Pei Zhengqing's Modao Battalion sticks to the rear. If there is any change in the battle, Modao Battalion will go."

A series of military orders were issued, and all the generals in the commander's tent were very excited, and they each took their orders and returned to their seats.

Li Qinzai hesitated for a moment. In fact, he still had a lot of landmines in his logistical baggage for this expedition, but this thing was a secret weapon, and it was not necessary to use it until it was absolutely necessary.

All the generals received their missions, but Jin Yuxin didn't make any arrangements.

Jin Yuxin wasn't jealous either, the Silla army hadn't planned to take part in the war directly, and it was their specialty to follow Tang army to pick up bargains.

Li Qinzai glanced at Jin Yuxin lightly.

It doesn't matter, just pick up the cheap now, and when you clean up Goguryeo, your good days in Silla will be over, eat mine, take mine, and spit it all out for me.

Is Datang's advantage so easy to take advantage of?
All the generals dispersed and went back to their camps to assemble their troops.

As the coach Li Qinzai gave the order to attack, the Tang army camp boiled instantly, and the air seemed to be filled with gunpowder smoke.

Over the big camp, the battle clouds are dense.

…………

As soon as the task was assigned, Xue Na returned to the camp when the step-by-step report came.

Li Qinzai was taken aback.

He already knew about Xue Ne and several of his subordinates leaving the camp a few days ago.

At that time, he thought that Xue Na couldn't bear the monotony and loneliness of the military camp, so he led his men out to find happiness.

After all, the place where the camp is located is the border between Silla and Goguryeo. As we all know, Silla maidservants are the best in the world. How can a dude like Xue Na come to the border of Silla and control his belt.

Li Qinzai is not the kind of stern and selfless coach, as long as the military aircraft is not delayed, some people and things can be ignored.

For example, when Xue Na sneaked out of the camp, Li Qinzai didn't intend to take it seriously.

After arriving at the border of Goguryeo, facing the mountainous terrain, the war horses basically did not have much effect except for transporting food and grass, and there were few places where cavalry could be used, so Xue Na, Bi Mawen, was not very useful. Let him go if you want to play.

Of course, you have to smoke when you have to, otherwise Bi Mawen will become more and more lawless.

Li Qinzai immediately walked towards Xue Na's camp.

When he came outside the tent, Xue Na rushed out to greet him. Li Qinzai suddenly found a group of people tied to the tent with long ropes.

That's right, it is "a string", like a group of grasshoppers waiting to be put into the frying pan.

There are old and young people in this group, as well as women, all of them are dressed in rags, their faces are yellow and thin, and they can be seen from Goguryeo by looking at their clothes.

Li Qinzai frowned: "Xiandi Shenyan is getting more and more promising. After running away for a few days, he brought me back such a bunch of things. Why? Local specialties?"

Xue Na listlessly said: "Brother Jingchu, don't laugh, I really haven't done anything bad in the past few days when I was out of camp..."

Li Qinzai nodded, pointed at the bunch of grasshoppers in front of him, and said, "You didn't do anything bad, you just pulled out a few old green onions... Are you frankly in shape? What exactly do you want to do?"

Only then did Li Qinzai look directly at Xue Na, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it, seeing that Xue Na's eyes were darkened, his appearance was haggard, and even the cheekbones on his cheeks became more and more obvious.

"Brother Shenyan, where is the witch who squeezed you into such a state, tell me, and I will avenge you." Li Qinzai said angrily.

Xue Na waved his hand weakly: "It's not a witch... Hey, brother Jingchu, brother Yu, I've been doing serious things these days, you have to trust me."

"What the hell did you do?"

"Walking, non-stop walking on mountain roads, day and night, falling down on the ground when tired, and eating two mouthfuls of dry food when hungry." Xue Na's lips shrunk, and his eyes were red with grievances: "I have lived a few days worse than a dog. ,too bitter!"

Li Qinzai didn't understand what he meant, so he pointed to the string of grasshoppers and said, "Who are they and why did you bring them back?"

"Could it be wild on the mountain?"

Xue Na sighed and said, "They...of course they are from Goguryeo. I don't know if it will be of any use to bring them back. In short, this trip to the camp was a disastrous one, and I didn't get anything."
