Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1088
In the history of human warfare, no matter how advanced weapons are or how they are updated, a new weapon will appear to suppress that advanced weapon in a short time.

At first it may have just been a war between one group of monkeys and another group of monkeys, and they threw stones and fruits at each other.When a stone was thrown, the monkey squeaked and used the trunk to avoid the stone.

After entering the civilized society, human beings learned to use spears and arrows, so the shield came into being, in order to restrain the enemy's spears and arrows.

Later offensive weapons such as missiles, rockets and so on, were conveniently equipped with radar and air defense systems.

In short, where there are spears, there must be shields. This is the iron law of war.

If the shield did not appear in time, then after paying huge casualties, the shield will definitely appear. The painful experience gained at the cost of life on the battlefield will not be taken lightly by any general with a brain.

The military report spread to the Tang army camp, and Li Qinzai was not surprised at the fact that Goguryeo had improved the shield.

The Eastern Expedition had already started for several months, and the shields should have come out, otherwise the Goguryeo generals would really be short-sighted.

The military newspaper was sent to Li Qinzai first, and he read it carefully several times.

For Tang Jun, this is of course not good news. Li Qinzai is hesitating whether to tell Li Ji. Li Ji is recuperating now. If he knows this news, Li Qinzai is afraid that he will always be like a sophomore boy, with tears in his eyes forever. Hot blooded.

Old people in their 70s don't dare to go up.

Tucking the general newspaper into his arms, Li Qinzai decided to act accordingly.

It means that if Li Ji doesn't ask, he won't tell, if Li Ji asks, he will lie.

The enemy army has shields with thickened iron plates. This is a technical problem, and even if Li Ji knows about it, he can't solve it.

Li Qinzai couldn't solve it for the time being.

The three-eyed gun has a limited range and limited power. Within the effective range, the thickened shield is difficult to penetrate, and the increase in gunpowder is useless.

The force generated by the ignition of the gunpowder urges the projectile to shoot out. This kinetic energy has a limit after all. The power of the three-eyed gun has reached its peak now, and it is almost impossible to increase it.

To deal with the thickened shields of the enemy army, another method must be found.

After bringing a bowl of medicinal soup into the handsome tent, Li Ji was still lying on the bed.

His injury was not only the back of the head, but his right leg was also broken, and he could not move for at least several months.

Li Qinzai was sitting on the edge of the bed with the medicinal soup, and Li Ji looked at him coldly.

This evil animal provokes him in different ways every day, and bullies him so that he can't move and has not fully recovered his language ability for the time being.

Today, this evil animal doesn't know how to get angry at him again.

Li Qinzai sat on the edge of the bed, blew on the hot medicinal soup, and smiled at Li Ji.

"Abaa, baa..." Li Qinzai pointed to the medicinal soup, and made a gesture of drinking the medicine again.

One word, one action, really successfully exploded Li Ji's anger.

"Evil!" Li Ji gritted his teeth and burst out two words.

Li Qinzai blinked innocently, hey, he seems to have forgotten that the old man's language ability has recovered partly now, and he can speak a few complete sentences.

"Grandpa, I've taken the medicine..." Li Qinzai immediately said respectfully.

Li Ji stared at him, and said with difficulty: "So...death, old man...if he recovers, he will be smoked, smoked to death..."

Li Qinzai said sternly: "Doctor Jin said, let grandson stimulate grandpa to talk more, your brain needs to be congested with blood, and it will be more conducive to recovery. Grandson is angry with you, and you are also a filial piety."

Li Ji sneered: "Okay, okay...wait!"

Li Qinzai's face froze, he might suffer from insomnia tonight...

With the military newspaper still in his arms, Li Qinzai hesitated for a moment. He was hesitating whether to tell Li Ji about the situation on the front line.

Li Ji has become a fine old fox, and he caught the hesitation that flashed across Li Qinzai's face.

"How is the battle ahead...?" Li Ji asked with difficulty.

Li Qinzai forced a smile, and waved his big hand vigorously: "The situation is very good!"

Li Ji's eyes turned cold, this time it was not a joke, but real cold eyes, like a beast about to hunt its prey.

Even though he was his own grandson, Li Qinzai couldn't help trembling under his gaze.

He obediently took out the military newspaper, and Li Qinzai read the contents of the general newspaper to him.

Li Ji frowned after listening, but his expression remained calm.

"Qibi Heli withdrew his army... That's right, if we continue to attack the city, there may be... traps." Li Ji said slowly.

Li Qinzai also nodded. Apart from the years of friendship, there is also a tacit understanding between the veterans. They don't need to speak to each other, and any actions of the other party can be quickly understood.

"Qin Zai, what do you think?" Li Ji asked again.

Li Qinzai thought for a while, and said: "The power of the three-eyed gun is limited. If the enemy army thickens their shields and ranks in the front line, it will be difficult for the three-eyed gun to penetrate."

Li Ji asked: "So... can the firearm be discarded?"

Li Qinzai smiled: "That's not necessary. There is always a definite number in everything. When the enemy's defense power increases, the attack power will inevitably decrease."

"What's the meaning?"

"The thickened shield is certainly indestructible, but its weakness is that the ability to move is slowed down. When the two armies are at war, the thickened shield can only advance slowly. From two hundred steps to fifty steps, it takes longer than normal advance Much slower."

"The fighter planes on the battlefield are fleeting, and the enemy's defense power increases, but it delays the fighter planes and gives our army more time to react. Among other things, as long as our army sets up a formation, the shields of the enemy's front line only need to be After a few rounds of trebuchets threw stones, it was basically smashed."

Li Qinzai lowered his voice again, and said: "What's more, we have brought enough luggage before we set off. In addition to firearms and gunpowder, there are also..."

Li Ji's eyes lit up: "Landmines?"

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Weapons are for killing the enemy, and they should be used when they should be used. Keeping them can't make you rich, let alone give birth to cubs. Why should you treasure them?"

Li Ji closed his eyes, and said calmly: "Your thoughts...write them down, and send them to Qibi Heli, he...will make a decision."

Li Qinzai nodded: "Grandpa, rest and recuperate. The emperor should have a decree coming soon. At that time, you can go back to Datang on a naval ship."

Li Ji opened his eyes suddenly, with an angry expression on his face: "This old man...will not leave even if he dies! Fleeing without victory is a coward and a disgrace! This old man is dead, and he is dying, how can he lose his reputation!"

Li Qinzai opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

A famous general has the dignity of a famous general. In the last battle of his life, what Li Ji hopes is to fall under the enemy's last arrow. This is what he believes is the most perfect ending.

Understanding his feelings, Li Qinzai knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he made him anxious, the old man was so angry that his blood boiled, and it was cheaper for the whole army to eat.

Sighing, Li Qinzai said with a wry smile: "Okay, you will not leave even if you die, grandson will risk his life to accompany you to the end, if there is any crisis or trouble, grandson will help you."

"Do you need to bear it? Get out!"
