The biggest difference between top students and bad students is that top students will be extremely demanding on themselves to make themselves better and better, while bad students will go to the temple to burn incense and repay their vows whenever they pass. Thank you Bodhisattva for giving you face.
It is undeniable that Li Qinzai is certainly a top academic, and he is one of those who extremely forces himself to be the best, which is called "Extreme Domination" for short.
The achievement of annihilating 20,000 enemies was nothing to him, but defeating more than 10,000 enemies was his failure.
Before the college entrance examination in his previous life, if he had even the slightest idea of advancement, his name would have been in Tsinghua University and Peking University, and he would not have gone to a second degree. After graduation, he joined a small company and worked as a laborer for several years.
But in this life, Li Qinzai was outstanding.
The number of enemy troops numbering more than 10,000 is unacceptable and must reflect deeply.
However, the enemy's defeat was irreversible. The battlefield situation was changing rapidly, and the Tang army had no time to pursue it. Even if it pursued, the effect would not be too great. Moreover, they had to beware of ambushes on the enemy's route.
Li Qinzai sighed helplessly as he watched the Goguryeo troops escaping all over the mountains and plains.
"Retract the troops, there is no point in pursuing them any longer. Send an order to the generals to clean up the battlefield immediately and count the battle damage and casualties."
The sweet sound of gold ringing came from the center of the Tang army. After being stunned for a moment, the soldiers raised their swords and halberds high and let out loud cheers, mixed with cries and hysterical roars.
In this battle, the Tang army had the advantage in weapons, but it also suffered a lot of casualties.
The people who were still alive and kicking in the early morning, still making a wish to earn eternal land for their families after victory and triumph, a few hours later, fell asleep forever in this strange and foreign land.
Countless wounded people were still lying on the ground moaning in pain. Broken limbs and arms were everywhere on the battlefield. Thick blood was mixed with the muddy soil. Corpses were scattered everywhere. Crows in the sky were circling in groups, making shrill cries.
After the great victory, joy and sorrow were mixed, laughter and crying were intertwined, but they were not abrupt.
The cruelty of war is always realized after the blood has cooled down, and then you realize that what you have lost has been lost, but what you have gained is so vague.
Li Qinzai walked on the battlefield, looking at the soldiers crying and laughing around him, looking at the thick blood on the ground, and looking at the corpses of both the enemy and ourselves. At this moment, he felt no joy, but extremely sad.
Hopefully, Haidong Peninsula will be the last battle in this life.
I hope that after this battle, the rivers will be clear and the sea will be peaceful, and the Tang Dynasty will be peaceful for a hundred generations, and we can comfort the departed heroes.
The soldiers of the Tang Army were cleaning the battlefield. The so-called cleaning was just to collect the abandoned weapons and the personal belongings of the enemy and our soldiers who died in the battle, including war horses, stomachs, baggage, etc.
Of course, this also includes cutting the grass and roots.
When encountering enemy soldiers with minor or serious injuries, he would draw his sword and kill them without saying a word, ending their lives completely.
Wang Fangyi, Liu Renyuan and others rushed over and saluted with clasped fists after seeing Li Qinzai.
Li Qinzai glanced at Wang Fangyi with dissatisfaction and said: "The enemy was wiped out on the left and right flanks an hour later than I planned. It almost delayed our fighter planes. You'd better give me a perfect explanation."
Wang Fangyi hurriedly said: "Report to Commander Li, the last general will lead two thousand troops, and cooperate with Sun Ren's division to annihilate the enemies on both wings respectively. However, when the enemy charges head-on, the other side's general will temporarily deploy additional troops to the left and right wings..."
"The two armies on the flanks of the general and Sun Renshi were in chaos for a while. After rectification, they calmly destroyed the enemy forces on both wings. This delayed our fighter plane. It is the fault of the general. Please punish Li Shuai."
Li Qinzai's face softened a little, and he hummed and said: "Everything happens for a reason, that's all. In today's battle, the left and right flanks have no merits and no faults. Do you accept it?"
Wang Fangyi lowered his head and said: "I will finally be convinced and will have no objections."
"An order is sent to tally the battle damage and casualties of the soldiers. The names of the war dead are tallied and reported to the court. They will be given preferential compensation. The wounded will be diagnosed and treated by military doctors. The seriously injured will be moved to the rear. The generals will report the list of meritorious personnel and reward them based on their merits!
"
Turning around and looking at the devastated battlefield littered with corpses, Li Qinzai sighed and walked towards the Chinese army formation.
A burst of rapid hoofbeats broke the calm of the battlefield.
Li Qinzai's heart tightened and he turned to look in the direction of the sound of horse hooves.
A scout looked panicked, galloped to Li Qinzai, dismounted and reported: "Li Shuai, the news of the defeat of the Goguryeo army reached Pyongyang City. Pyongyang was shocked. Quan Nanjian, the leader of the Goguryeo Kingdom, ordered the deployment of 40,000 capital garrison troops, who are heading towards our army.
Come on, it's only fifty miles away!"
Li Qinzai's heart sank, and he looked around at the soldiers of the Tang army who were cleaning the battlefield. Reason told him that the morale was once boosted, then declined, and three times it was exhausted. Now that the Tang army had just experienced a big battle, it was really not appropriate to engage in another battle with the enemy.
The Goguryeo army that had been separated had more than 30,000 people. After being defeated, it fled in panic. From the overall strategic situation, the Tang army won a great victory in this battle. Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, opened its arms to the Tang army and allowed the Tang army commander to drive straight in.
.
No other leader can accept this fact, so it is reasonable to urgently increase troops to support and fight again. After all, the capital is in danger. If the leader loses the capital, the morale of the entire Goguryeo military and people will collapse. To the leader, the capital
It must not be lost.
However, Li Qinzai's original plan did not actually intend to attack the capital of Goguryeo. He knew very well that the garrison of any country's capital must be at least 100,000. With Li Qinzai's current strength, it was really impossible to attack it, and it would cost huge casualties.
Since there was little hope, how could Li Qinzai let his soldiers sacrifice themselves needlessly?
Therefore, his original plan was to go directly north after this battle to join forces with Li Ji's main force.
After the meeting, he lay down and handed over his soldiers to Li Ji. Li Qinzai was once again the handsome and idle dandy.
Now a sudden change occurred, and another 40,000 enemy troops rushed towards him. Li Qinzai's expression suddenly became solemn.
The Tang army could no longer fight and could only choose to strategically retreat. To put it bluntly, it meant running away.
Although it is a bit shameless, this is the safest way.
"Bullshit! Do you only pick soft persimmons? How dare you fight my grandfather's main force!" Li Qinzai gritted his teeth and cursed bitterly.
Wang Fangyi stepped forward and said urgently: "Li Shuai, our army has just experienced a major battle and cannot fight again at this time."
Li Qinzai was very irritable now and glared at him fiercely: "Do you need to remind me?"
Wang Fangyi said again: "Li Shuai, if we withdraw, the other side's 40,000 troops will definitely catch up. After all, a battle is unavoidable. Our army retreats and marches for a long distance, which consumes a lot of physical strength, mental morale, and has no chance of winning..."
Li Qinzai pondered for a long time, and his expression gradually became fierce.
"Every piece of toilet paper has its use. Are Japan and Silla not even as good as toilet paper?"
"I will not allow them to insult me like this! Send an order to call the Silla army commander Jin Yuxin. The father and son of Tang and Luo have a deep love. The father has worked so hard that he is exhausted, and it is the son who should be the son!"
