Chapter 1074: A famous general is like a pine tree
On the mountain road, the Tang army was still unilaterally slaughtering Goguryeo reinforcements. There was almost no suspense in this battle.
But in the dense forest on the mountain, Li Qinzai and several generals were stunned.
Li Qinzai felt a buzzing in his ears and could not hear any sound. Only the scout's military report just now was still repeated in his mind.
After the scout's report, there was silence all around.
Wang Fangyi was the first to break the silence and said angrily: "Lying about military information is a serious crime of beheading a clan. Whose unit do you belong to, and what camp and team are you?"
The news was so shocking that Wang Fangyi couldn't help but doubt the true identity of the scout.
The scout's expression was dark, but he still said very neatly: "The villain's name is He Zhu. He is the scout of the forward battalion of General Xue Rengui. He belongs to the fourth team. The team's official name is Song Jingsheng."
"General Wang, the information reported by the villain is not wrong word by word. The British Duke did fall from his horse and fell into coma. Now the main force of Wang's division is still marching towards Wugu City. General Qibi Heli is temporarily acting as the general manager of the march. The news
It has been reported to Chang'an, and the Duke's injuries are also being treated."
Wang Fangyi and other generals looked at Li Qinzai one after another.
Li Qinzai's face was ashen, and he clenched his fists tightly, but his eyes were fixed on the fierce battle between the two armies on the mountain road, and he pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Wang Fangyi clasped his fists with an ugly expression: "Li Shuai..."
Li Qinzai gritted his teeth and said coldly: "In the current war, the enemy army is not destroyed, how dare you be distracted?"
The generals were awe-inspiring and immediately suppressed the sadness in their hearts and regained their consciousness.
"Wang Fangyi!"
"exist!"
"The enemy has begun to counterattack. Send an order to form a shield formation. Do not stop the firearms from behind and advance step by step."
"yes!"
"Instruct Liu Renyuan and Heiji Changzhi to lead their troops to press forward from the front and rear, shrink the enemy's space, and form an encirclement of the enemy."
Bu Qu hurriedly sent the order.
Li Qinzai's eyes were clear and he was silent for a long time. Finally, he said to the generals: "Fellow commanders, please urge your respective generals... to fight and decide quickly!"
His voice was hoarse and weak, tinged with great anxiety and sorrow. The generals understood Li Qinzai's mood, clasped their fists in awe and left quickly.
Surrounded by only the troops who were guarding him, Li Qinzai finally slumped down heavily on the ground, looking up at the increasingly gloomy sky with a pale face.
The news was so shocking that he was still trying to digest it.
Li Qinzai felt a little uneasy when he left the camp, so much so that he acted like a fool in front of Li Ji and did not want to lead the army. Unexpectedly, after being forced to lead the army, something happened to Li Ji.
In fact, I have only known this old man for four or five years. The cliche about blood being thicker than water is meaningless. But in the past few years of getting along with each other, Li Qinzai has really developed respect for this old man. Every time they meet
There will always be a sense of closeness unconsciously.
Perhaps the blood and family ties in his bones really couldn't be ignored. He was thankful more than once that his grandfather was such a respectable and lovely old man.
When the Eastern Expedition reunited, Li Qinzai had to accept the fact that he was old, and he was willing to do his best for the old man's final battle. He hoped that the battle would be a success, and that his grandparents would return home in triumph, giving the old man a splendid and legendary life.
Add a happy ending that starts well and ends well.
No matter how he imagined it, he should not have suffered such a misfortune.
A famous general in the world should be like an evergreen pine. Even if it withers, he should stand proudly in the heavy snow and gradually lose the last touch of green on his body.
However, Li Ji has not yet reached the moment of withering. How could this happen? How could it be like this?
At the foot of the mountain road, perhaps the generals were also anxious, as the Tang army's attack was obviously much more violent.
However, even though the enemy's formation was completely gone and the morale of the army was in chaos, there were still thousands of people who broke through the blockade of the forward battalion of Kuroge Tsuneji's troops in front and broke out.
Hei Te Changzhi was furious and immediately ordered a group of soldiers to pursue them.
Not long after, a loud noise suddenly came from the top of the canyon in the distance. Even the ground beneath my feet seemed to shake a few times. Several huge stones fell heavily into the canyon, but the enemy army that escaped was never seen again. Any movement.
In the dense forest, Li Qinzai's expression remained calm. As the commander of an army, no matter how anxious he was, as long as the war was not over, he could not make any impulsive emotions or decisions, otherwise thousands of soldiers would be killed.
The ensuing battle has entered the final stage. Wang Fangyi commanded the soldiers to move step by step, and the enemy had almost no ability to counterattack.
The only enemy army that escaped was buried in the canyon by Liu Asi under Li Qinzai's prior arrangements.
The overall situation has been decided, but Li Qinzai is not happy at all. At this moment, he is in a very confused mood.
Sitting in the dense forest, Li Qinzai watched dumbly as the Tang army on the mountain road was cutting up the enemy troops and then dividing them to annihilate them.
Feng Su, the commander of the troops next to him, said in a low voice: "Fifth Young Master, the victory here has been decided, why not leave it to General Wang to deal with the aftermath. I will escort the Fifth Young Master to Wugu City to see my husband..."
Li Qinzai shook his head: "I can't leave until the last enemy soldier falls."
"If I leave now, it will be called 'dereliction of duty.' If grandpa wakes up, he will definitely punish me with serious crimes."
Feng Su's eyes were red. He had been a member of the Duke's palace for many years, and his feelings for Li Ji were naturally more sincere than others.
"Fifth Young Master, if the matter is urgent, you may be able to take power..." Feng Su still wanted to persuade him.
Li Qinzai was silent and did not respond, but the expression on his face was very determined, and it was obvious that his decision could not be changed.
Thinking about it, he suddenly felt ridiculous. Li Qinzai did not expect that he would also be faced with the situation of "loyalty and filial piety cannot be balanced".
Should I feel that I am noble and great in terms of personality?
The fact is that he finally understood how anxious, sad and angry the loyal ministers and generals throughout the ages felt when faced with such a situation, but there was nothing they could do about it.
As if in response to Li Qinzai's anxious mood at this moment, under the command of Wang Fangyi, the Tang army's soldiers attacked at an increasingly faster pace.
More than an hour later, the last enemy soldier on the mountain road fell.
The generals did not have time to clean up the battlefield, so they gathered around Li Qinzai.
Li Qinzai looked around the generals with a calm expression and said slowly: "Everyone, the war is over. We have successfully completed the tasks assigned by the general manager. The generals will order the soldiers to clean the battlefield later, and the regimental camp, fire and other departments will report to their subordinates. The merits of the officers and soldiers will be recorded by military officials..."
Wang Fangyi stamped his feet and said: "Don't mention it, Li Shuai. They are all murderers with many years of experience. I will deal with these matters later. Li Shuai should set off quickly and rush to Wugu City to see the British Duke."
Li Qinzai still nodded calmly: "The command of the troops and horses of this headquarters is given to Wang Fangyi, and all the officers and soldiers are under his control. You lead the officers and soldiers to march to Wugu City, and I will go first. Everyone, thank you for your help."
All the generals saluted.
Li Qinzai hurriedly set off on the road with more than two hundred songs.
As soon as I took a step forward, I heard what seemed like thousands of voices behind me saying in unison: "I wish you good luck, good luck, good fortune and long life!"
Li Qinzai paused for a moment, but did not look back. He led Buqu and left quickly.
On the battlefield where the smoke had not cleared, countless soldiers in tattered armor watched Li Qinzai leave.
Every time Li Qinzai walked, he would hear the continuous prayers of the soldiers.
"I pray that the Lord Ying will be blessed with good fortune, good fortune and long life!"
The sound is like Sanskrit singing, echoing leisurely in the valley.
