Although I was late, fortunately I was not absent.
It should be said that Li Qinzai was lucky that the supporting troops were not the main force of Qibi Heli's command, but the soldiers under Gao Kan's command.
Outside Heshenggu City, Gao Kan sensitively judged that Li Qinzai might be in danger and immediately ordered the entire army to march urgently.
More than 10,000 soldiers and horses ran all the way, even eating while walking. Finally, after marching for five hours, they finally arrived at the battlefield.
In terms of distance, Qibi Heli's reinforcements were further away from Li Qinzai. Fortunately, Gao Kan arrived in time, otherwise Li Qinzai would have been a good man again twenty years later.
Reinforcements arrived and they joined the battle without saying a word.
At this time, there were only 4,000 enemy troops left. Since last night, Li Qinzai had been unable to bite off this bone. Even when Li Qinzai's troops only had a few hundred people left, they still couldn't bite it off.
To be honest, the enemy had never seen such a tenacious opponent. In the end, despite their large numbers, the Tang army's will to fight to the death and their spirit of preferring death to surrender had deeply shocked the enemy.
Although they were clearly outnumbered, they felt frightened and frightened. They fought for a day and a night, and both their military morale and physical strength fell into the abyss.
With the enemy in this state, Gao Kan's reinforcements arrived in time, and the final result can be imagined.
There was no need to go into battle to fight, Gao Kan's soldiers only had to lay out their formations, and fired round after round of three-eyed muskets, quickly beating the enemy to pieces, and thousands of casualties fell to the ground in an instant.
Behind the reinforcements were the remaining 100 or so remnants of the Tang army, including Li Qinzai, who was seriously injured and unconscious.
Liu Renyuan knelt on one knee in front of Li Qinzai, letting the gunshots in front of him continue. Looking at Li Qinzai's pale face, Liu Renyuan gritted his teeth and roared.
"No one left alive! No one alive! Kill them all and avenge the soldiers who died in the battle!"
More than 10,000 reinforcements fired while slowly changing formations. Under the command of Gao Kan, they formed a three-sided encirclement against the remaining enemy troops.
There were fewer and fewer enemy troops on the battlefield. Under the crushing volleys of the Tang army, the more than four thousand enemy troops could not hold out for long. They fell one by one like leeks. Soon, only two thousand and one thousand people were left.
, three hundred people...
The encirclement of the Tang army was getting smaller and smaller, because the number of enemy troops was getting smaller and smaller.
At the end of the war, the enemy's corpses lay everywhere, and the only remaining enemy soldiers were their generals and a dozen loyal guards around the generals.
Gao Kan was riding on his horse, staring at the enemy general with cold eyes. He was hesitating whether to kill or capture him.
The enemy's origin and purpose were very clear, so there was no need for interrogation. If they were captured alive, it would only be so that after their triumphant return, the emperor could present the prisoners in glory at the Ancestral Temple.
Apart from this, this enemy general has basically no other value.
When Gao Kan was hesitating, Liu Renyuan, who was covered in wounds, strode over, walked to Gao Kan's horse, clasped his fists and cried: "General Gao, we five thousand soldiers have been fighting for a day and a night, and in the end only these hundred people are left. Our
Li Shuai is also seriously injured and unconscious, all because of these bastards!"
"I beg you, General, not to leave them alive and to avenge Paoze who died in the battle. I will just bear all the blame!"
Gao Kan stared at Liu Renyuan's face, sighed deeply, and then turned away.
Liu Renyuan immediately understood what Gao Kan meant, and he acquiesced.
So Liu Renyuan snatched the horizontal sword from the hand of a soldier next to him and strode up to the enemy general.
The enemy general was defeated and trapped in a tight siege. He knew that he would die, but he was stubborn and sneered arrogantly without saying a word for mercy.
Liu Renyuan stared at him with blazing eyes and slowly raised the knife.
The personal guards immediately surrounded the enemy general and stood in front of him, all glaring at Liu Renyuan with defiant expressions.
There was another burst of gunfire, and the Tang army behind them killed the last dozen or so guards.
There was only one enemy general left on the battlefield, but he showed no fear. Instead, he looked up to the sky and laughed. Then he said a few unintelligible words to Liu Renyuan with a ferocious face. Finally, he bent down and stretched out his neck, and slapped his own neck provocatively.
Take a shot.
Although there was a language barrier, Liu Renyuan understood what he meant.
Probably, the king is successful and the bandits are defeated, what can I say? Here is the great head, take it!
Liu Renyuan laughed evilly, and slashed the sword he raised high with all his might.
What a great head, I’ll accept it!
When there was no more living enemy on the battlefield, Liu Renyuan threw away his sword, knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
Gao Kan was still riding on his horse, looking around the battlefield. Black smoke was rising everywhere, corpses and limbs were everywhere, trenches dug deep on all sides, weapons with curled blades and gaps, the land stained dark brown with blood, and then he looked at the hundreds of living Tang troops.
Among the remaining soldiers, there was also Li Qinzai who was seriously injured and unconscious.
Gao Kan sighed sadly, closed his eyes and murmured: "It's so tragic..."
Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, the tragic scenes on the battlefield had silently told him how fierce and cruel this encounter was, and what a huge price the Tang Army soldiers had to pay to grit their teeth and hold on until now.
Turning over and dismounting, Gao Kan walked to the unconscious Li Qinzai and squatted down. He stroked his face distressedly and said, "How is Jing Chu? Where is he injured?"
Feng Su, the soldier kneeling next to him, choked up and said: "When Wu Shaolang was killing the enemy, he was not prepared for the enemy's whip and horse to rush into him. Wu Shaolang was caught off guard and was hit in the back by the galloping horse. Not only was one of his arms hit by the horse,
I was crushed and suffered serious internal injuries..."
Gao Kan said in a deep voice: "Put up the soft bag, carefully carry him back to the camp, and send a few troops to search for famous doctors nearby..."
Feng Su sniffed and said: "There is no need to find a famous doctor, but hurry up and catch up with my husband. There is a Goguryeo goddess doctor beside him. Hurry up, I am afraid that Wu Shaolang will not be able to survive..."
Gao Kan nodded, loudly called his personal guards to deliver the order, and sent out five groups of people in succession, galloping forward and backward in the direction of Li Ji's march.
At the same time, they also sent fast horses to report to the main force of Qibi Heli's command in the direction of Shangyi City, giving a detailed report of the encounter.
While the soldiers of the Tang Army were still cleaning the battlefield, Li Qinzai was lifted up by the remaining thirty soldiers and cautiously marched towards the Tang Army's camp outside Wugu City.
On the way back to the camp, Feng Su and his colleagues took every step carefully, fearing that the bumpy road would aggravate Li Qinzai's injury.
Looking at the unconscious Li Qinzai on the soft bag, Feng Su burst into tears as he walked away, wishing he could slap himself in the face several times.
Failure to protect Fifth Young Master was a dereliction of duty on the part of the troops, and it was also a dereliction of duty on his part as the leader of the troops.
At this moment, Feng Su felt ready to kill himself with a knife and apologize.
He couldn't imagine how heartbroken and remorseful his father-in-law would be when he heard the news that his grandson was seriously injured.
The Li family has given birth to such a promising Qilin'er. If we can't survive this hurdle today, how can we live in this world?
"Slow down, be steady, don't push the fifth young master..." Feng Su told Pao Ze with a choked voice, and then said: "Send someone to take a navy ship back to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, report the news to your family, just say... just say
Fifth Young Master, he..."
Before he finished speaking, Feng Su burst into tears again.
