Chapter 1101: Xue Li shows his talents for the first time
And while Li Chengqian was making intensive preparations.
The war on the other side of the main battlefield has also intensified.
Especially after Li Jing's death, the Youzhou army was leaderless and fell into a completely passive situation.
The Japanese army also seized this opportunity, and took advantage of this opportunity to seize the Youzhou Army and pursue it fiercely, driving the Youzhou Army back for more than a hundred miles. ??
There were only 19,000 people who came down from the battlefield.
At the moment, the atmosphere in the Chinese military tent is also somewhat pessimistic.
Especially the generals brought by Li Jing had sad looks on their faces.
Obviously, these people have not yet gotten over the fact that Li Jing died.
Seeing this, Li Daozong directly scolded: "Why are you crying and crying before the war is over?"
"Are you like this worthy of the Medicine Master's spirit in heaven?"
After hearing these words, the generals also drooped their heads.
Obviously, Li Daozong's words not only failed to appease their emotions, but even made their sadness worse.
Seeing this, Li Daozong was furious.
He said bluntly: "If the pharmacist knew you were like this, I'm afraid he would be so angry that he wouldn't be able to rest at ease..."
"We know that too."
"But we just couldn't help it."
One of the generals said: "And our General Li is dead. How can we still win this war?"
When he heard this, Li Daozong was so angry that he stood up.
He pointed directly at the general and said: "Tell me, what is your identity, and what should you do with your identity?"
"The enemy is so strong that we can't win. How can we stop fighting?"
"Are we just going to let those enemies slaughter our people?"
"Both generals and soldiers, they all have to protect the safety of a place. Otherwise, why would the people spend money to support you?"
"Wouldn't it be better to buy some food, some clothes, and some necessities for yourself?"< br>
Li Daozong said: "Let me tell you, if you really feel that you can't let go of General Li, you will feel that it will be a humiliation for General Li to die."
"Then cheer up, stare at the enemies in front of you, and kill them all to comfort the pharmacist's spirit in heaven..."
After saying this, Li Daozong turned back to look at Xue Li.
Although, in his heart, he also looked down on people like Xue Li who rose to the top in one step.
But the previous wars had fully highlighted Xue Li's abilities.
You know, if Xue Li hadn't stepped forward to stabilize the situation, Li Daozong wouldn't have been able to follow up.
And if Li Daozong cannot get through, the result will be obvious. I am afraid that all the 50,000 Youzhou troops will have to be handed over to Henan Road.
And that's not even the most important thing.
The most important thing is that the country has fallen and the citizens have nowhere to hide.
"Xue Li."
"What do you think we should do next in this battle?"
Li Daozong gave Xue Li enough face and took the initiative to seek his opinion.
"The Japanese army is no longer the same Japanese army."
"They are far more powerful than we imagine, and we know very little about them."
Xue Lizhi cupped his hands towards Li Daozong and said: "So the last general suggested that before the enemy's situation is clearly investigated, defense is the best strategy."
"fart!"
The general who just stood up to confront Li Daozong spoke out again.
He said bluntly: "You just say you don't have the guts. Why do you have to make so many excuses?"
"If you don't want to fight, then we can go."
"We will fight to the death to avenge General Li..."
Hearing this, Xue Li also shook his head.
He said: "To be polite,
, General Li attacked rashly without having a clear reconnaissance of the enemy's situation, which led to this great defeat."
"If the general wants to die, I won't stop you."
"But don't take anyone else with you."
Xue Li looked straight at the man and said coldly: "Because our lives are to protect our home and country, not to avenge anyone..."
"you!"
Hearing this, the general stood up straight, glared at Xue Li and said, "You bastard, what are you talking about?"
"General Li is our God of War in the Tang Dynasty and the spiritual pillar in the hearts of our soldiers in the Tang Dynasty."
"Now, he died because of the Japanese army. You think about avenging him, but you still want to hide and defend."
"I think you just hate General Li for leaving you behind as a grain transport officer." .??.
"That's why you deliberately missed the opportunity and didn't give us the chance to avenge General Li!"
This illogical accusation will naturally not cause any harm to Xue Li.
And he had no intention of talking to the other party anymore.
In the midst of the other party's roar, Xue Li said directly to Li Daozong: "General, our army doesn't even know that the Japanese army has developed firearms."
"Moreover, when our army first came into contact with them, they did not take these out."
"It was only after our troops penetrated deeply that they used their weapons and caught us by surprise."
"This is enough to show that the Japanese army deliberately concealed the information, and everything that happened before was planned in advance."
"I dare to say that there must be a commander with outstanding military talent in their army who is commanding behind the scenes."
Xue Li said: "So, this war really cannot continue."
"Not to mention the fire blunderbuss, our army is unable to resist it."
"Let's just say that the current morale of our army is not enough to start another war."
After hearing these words, Li Daozong also felt that it made sense.

He said directly to Xue Li: "But the Japanese army already has firearms."
"Based on the Japanese army's combat power, their siege speed is quite fast."
"And even if we have artillery fire and skyfire thunder, we still can't stop the Japanese army for too long."
"Defense is not a good strategy..."
Hearing this, Xue Li nodded.
"Yes, defense is not a good policy, but it is the best policy."
"I dare to say that it won't be long before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will lead the Liangzhou Army to support us."
"Not to mention that the Liangzhou army will definitely defeat the Japanese army."
"But based on our previous performance against the Japanese army, it will definitely have a certain deterrent effect on them."
"And don't forget, our Crown Prince has always been dealing with firearms."
"His use of firearms is more than a little better than ours."
"When he leads the Liangzhou army to the battlefield, he will definitely be able to turn the tide."
Xue Li looked at Li Daozong and said: "And what we need to do is to secure as much territory as possible before the prince comes, so that our army has a city that can be defended and a springboard that can be attacked."
After what he said, Li Daozong nodded in agreement.
Considering the current situation, Xue Li's strategy is most in line with the current situation.
And it is also the most conservative and safest.
So at that moment, Li Daozong did not hesitate and said directly to Xue Li: "Then, just do what you want."
This war also allowed everyone to see Xue Li's talents clearly.
Of course, he has yet to show his offensive talents.
But just because he was able to stabilize the defeated Youzhou Army is enough to illustrate his ability.
Therefore, Li Daozong was willing to trust him and leave the next battlefield to him.
Xue Li also looked solemn at the moment and said: "General, as ordered..."
