Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1096 Gathering and Preparing for Battle
The sudden news made Li Qinzai's ears ring with shock.

The first thought that popped into my mind was that the northeast direction has long been controlled by the Tang army, so how could there be a force of 2 soldiers out of nowhere?
Did it fall from the sky?

The second thought was panic. The main force of the Tang army had been taken away by Qibi Heli, and they were now marching towards Huyi City. The main force was at least three days away from the Tang army camp, and there were only [-] defenders in the camp at this time. , while the enemy has twenty thousand.

Originally, the Tang army was equipped with firearms, and five thousand was not afraid of twenty thousand, but Li Qinzai knew that the Goguryeo army had thickened shields, which could block the projectiles of firearms. A charge of the army.

"Is the news accurate? Are you sure it's the enemy?" Li Qinzai asked unwillingly.

The scout was covered in wounds, standing in front of Li Qinzai and weeping non-stop. In order to convey this urgent military situation, almost all the scout team died in battle, leaving him alone.

"The news is accurate. Our entire scouting team sacrificed their lives for the news. If there is any error, the villain is willing to lead the army."

Li Qinzai was stunned, sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "They are all good guys, thank you for sending the news in time, otherwise we will suffer a lot."

"Paoze who died in battle, I will ask the emperor for a special shirt, and each of you's names will be recorded in the credit book. Their wives and children, old and young, will be supported by the imperial court."

The scout cried, "Thank you Li Shuai!"

Li Qinzai's heart was heavy. This time against the [-] enemy troops, he had little chance of winning. What's more, there was still Li Ji in the camp.

If something happened to the old man, Li Qinzai could only wipe his neck and apologize.

"Don't tell anyone about the enemy's attack. Go down." Li Qinzai solemnly urged.

After the scouts resigned, Li Qinzai summoned the troops beside Li Ji.

The name of the team is Liu Xing, and his father has followed Li Ji for many years, so Liu Xing can be regarded as hereditary.

Liu Xing entered the account, Li Qinzai stared at him, and said slowly: "I give you a military order, strictly enforce it, can you do it?"

Liu Xing was taken aback, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Fifth Young Master has orders, the villain will go through fire and water..."

Li Qinzai sighed, and said: "This time, I'm going to go through fire and water... There are two hundred people in the trilogy beside my grandfather. You lead all the trilogy, escort my grandfather to leave the camp, and march towards the southeast of Huyi City. Join Qibi Heli's main force."

Liu Xing was surprised and said: "Why did you suddenly escort the old man out of the camp? The old man is not in good health yet, if the journey is bumpy..."

Li Qinzai shook his head: "It's okay to be bumped, but staying in the camp will kill you. At this time, there is an enemy army of 2 soldiers thirty miles away from the camp, and they are rushing towards our camp. Do you understand? "

Liu Xing turned pale with shock: "Where did the enemy come out?"

Li Qinzai said in a bad mood: "I want to know the origin of this army more than you. In short, you escort my grandfather away quickly. I will lead five thousand soldiers to fight against the enemy and buy time for you to leave."

Liu Xing said anxiously: "Fifth Shaolang is so delicate, how can he take risks lightly, why not leave the work of dealing with the enemy to me, I can..."

"What can you do?" Li Qinzai immediately interrupted, "Will my generals convince you? Do you know how to command thousands of soldiers? Who else can do this job except me?"

Li Qinzai said with a more serious tone: "I will say goodbye to my grandfather first, and then you take my grandfather out of the camp. If he asks the reason, tell him after leaving the camp for twenty miles. Go!"

Liu Xing hesitated left and right, but finally stomped his feet and turned around to leave the camp.

Li Qinzai sat in the tent for a while, then got up, walked to the corner of the tent, and took out a pair of crutches, which Li Qinzai secretly ordered the craftsmen of the military supervisor to make.

Li Ji was dozing off in the handsome tent. His body recovered well in the past two days, and his speech function gradually became normal, but the fracture in his right leg still didn't heal.

Li Qinzai entered the account and saw that Li Ji seemed to be asleep, so he crept closer.

After walking to the side of the bed, Li Ji still didn't wake up. It seemed that the quality of his sleep was good. It was a blessing from heaven to be able to sleep so deeply at his age.

Quietly picking up a beard under Li Ji's chin, Li Qinzai looked at Li Ji carefully, and then... With a ruthless pull, the beard was pulled off.

Li Ji let out a cry of pain, opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Li Qinzai was looking at him innocently with a beard in his hand.

"Naughty animal! What did you do?" Li Jidang was furious.

Li Qinzai put his hands on Li Ji's shoulders, and said in shock, "Grandpa, you just had a nightmare..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Ji stretched out his intact left leg, and kicked him fiercely: "The old man won't listen to your nonsense, and he will die!"

As he spoke, Li Ji pressed the waist knife on the bedside.

Just about to raise the scabbard to whip him, Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "Grandpa calm down, grandson is still a child, and the child will be naughty once in a while, why bother with grandson..."

Li Ji stared at him unkindly: "What are you doing here?"

Holding a pair of crutches in both hands, Li Qinzai said with a smile, "Grandson built this thing for grandpa with his own hands. It can help grandpa recover from his leg injury, and he can walk like ordinary people without hindrance."

Li Ji looked at the pair of crutches, and said in doubt: "This thing..."

Li Qinzai demonstrated it himself, clamping the pair of crutches under his armpits respectively, and then limping around in circles in the handsome tent.

Li Ji understood it at a glance, and couldn't help laughing: "Good thing, if I have it, the old man can indeed walk on the ground."

Li Qinzai helped him up from the bed and helped him practice how to use crutches.

After a long while, Li Ji had learned it completely, and he couldn't help but feel better. He didn't bother with him about the bastard pulling out his beard just now.

Seeing that Li Ji was in a good mood, Li Qinzai said: "Grandpa hasn't been out of the camp since he was injured, why don't you let Buqu take you around the camp?"

Without waiting for Li Ji's response, Li Qinzai immediately raised his voice and called Liu Xing.

"Go, bring the first part, and help grandpa go out of the camp to get some air."

Li Ji frowned and said, "Why are you breathing in the middle of the night? Are you sick or is the old man sick?"

"Grandpa, of course you are sick. If you are sick, you have to breathe fresh air." Li Qinzai turned his head to look at Liu Xing and gestured with his eyes.

Liu Xing understood, so he stepped forward to help Li Ji, and walked him outside the commander's tent without any explanation.

Li Ji sensed something was wrong, and said coldly: "What's going on? Tell me clearly, what happened?"

Liu Xing didn't speak, and almost walked out with Li Ji in his arms.

Standing in the handsome tent, Li Qinzai quietly watched Li Ji struggling and being carried away, with reluctance and determination in his eyes.

Inexplicably, he felt a little heavy on his shoulders, because he had taken over the burden that Li Ji had borne for many years.

…………

"Assemble the whole army and prepare for battle!"

After Li Ji was forcibly taken away by the trilogy, Li Qinzai shouted loudly from the camp.

The horn sounded, and five thousand soldiers of the Tang army quickly put on neat clothes and lined up on the camp ground.

Li Qinzai looked around at the soldiers, five thousand soldiers and horses were not many, and the vanguard battalion under the command of Hei Chi Chang Zhi, who made Li Qin Zai handy, was also taken away by Qibi He Li.

The only good news is that Pei Zhengqing's Modao camp is still in the big camp.
