Hearing this sentence, the generals who had their heads lowered were all startled and looked around to see who had said this.
Lu Xiangsheng suddenly became happy, stood up and said loudly: "Who is the speaker? Stand up and let me have a look!"
Li Zhi clasped his hands in his fists, walked out from the military generals' seat, and said loudly: "Xiaguantianjin defends Li Zhi, and is willing to fight with Lao Huihui!"
Seeing that it was Li Zhi who stood up, Lu Xiangsheng was immediately disappointed. He stood there awkwardly, speechless for a while.
"you"
Li Zhi cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to fight!"
Lu Xiangsheng said with some embarrassment: "I didn't expect that Tianjin's troops were willing to do this hard work." But he quickly added: "But your department is no match for Lao Huihui, and you won't be able to hold on for long! We have to find other people.
Accept the challenge!"
Li Zhi said loudly: "Don't worry, Prime Minister. I swear to drag Lao Hui's troops until the army defeats Gao Yingxiang."
Although Lu Xiangsheng looked down upon Li Zhi's men, he was frightened by Li Zhi's courage for a moment. He clapped his hands and said, "What a courage! Although Tianjin only sent one defender to support the suppression, your defense is still courageous!"
After a pause, Lu Xiangsheng looked around and said: "If a defense is so generous, aren't there any of you high-ranking officials who are willing to contribute to the country?"
All the generals lowered their heads when they heard these words, and no one said anything.
Lu Xiangsheng became a little angry and walked back and forth in front of the chair, very irritated.
Seeing this, Li Zhi raised his hand again and said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I have defeated more than two thousand Tangma from the bandits. I know the fighting power of the bandits. I am willing to fight Lao Huihui. Please grant me your permission, Prime Minister!"
Lu Xiangsheng was a little surprised when he heard Li Zhi's words.
Although it is obvious that Li Zhi is just a small defensive officer, and the thousand soldiers and horses he leads cannot have combat effectiveness. But is Li Zhi's attitude in asking for battle too determined? You must know that every general has a strong sense of his own
He knows the situation of soldiers and horses best. Going to the battlefield is no child's play. It is impossible to dare to face a strong enemy without a few brushes, because it is a joke with one's own life.
This Li Zhi repeatedly asked for a fight.
Could it be that he is really a crazy student?
Or, maybe he really fought off two thousand pond horses, and the two hundred heads he cut off were real bandits? Does he really have the strength to hold off Lao Huihui? No one dared to challenge him at this time, should he believe this?
Li Zhi once?
Lu Xiangsheng thought about it, his face was uncertain, and he hesitated for a moment.
Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's hesitation, Li Zhi struck while the iron was hot and said: "My lord, I am willing to issue a military order. If I can't delay Lao Huihui, I will come to see you with my head on my neck!"
Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Zhi, seeming to be making the final decision.
Li Zhi added: "Your Majesty, you are wise! I am not a madman. I got this defensive position with my 125 soldiers who wiped out 340 bandits with many years of experience. Then!
In one battle, not a single officer, soldier or horse was injured."
After hearing Li Zhi's words, Lu Xiangsheng finally made up his mind and said loudly: "Okay, Li Zhi, I will trust you once! I will use your 1,300 troops to contain Lao Huihui. Be sure to drag Lao Huihui back."
Stay for an hour."
After saying this, Lu Xiangsheng turned to the generals who bowed their heads and said nothing: "Where is Shanhaiguan Deputy General Li Chongzhen?"
A middle-aged military general shook his body, reluctantly walked out of the queue and said: "The last general is here!"
Lu Xiangsheng said loudly: "When fighting against the puppet king Gao Yingxiang, your three thousand troops will be walking on the easternmost side. Don't go deep to engage the enemy! If Tianjin's troops are defeated by Lao Huihui, you will immediately withdraw your troops and go to
On the east side, stop Lao Huihui's troops from attacking our army."
Li Chongzhen gritted his teeth secretly, cupped his hands and said: "The general will get the order!"
Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said loudly: "Then it's settled. Tomorrow you will go into battle with me to kill the thieves as planned!"
All the military attachés raised their hands and replied: "I have the order!"
Lu Xiangsheng nodded, said nothing, and strode out of the Chinese army's tent.
Seeing that the Prime Minister had left, a group of military attachés gathered together in twos and threes, said a few words, and then left the Chinese army tent. Only Li Chongzhen, who was named by Lu Xiangsheng, looked dazed, standing there as if he had lost his soul.
.
Li Zhongzhen's twelve-point prediction determined that Li Zhi's troops could not last longer than a stick of incense. It was the same with or without Li Zhi. In the end, the task of containing Lao Huihui still fell on him.
Thinking of the possible losses and risks tomorrow, Li Chongzhen turned pale.
Commander-in-Chief Zu Kuan looked at Li Chongzhen, walked up to Li Zhi and cursed loudly: "Crazy man! You are so arrogant that Li Chongzhen has to accept this hard job! If your troops collapse at the first touch tomorrow, I will kill you with a knife.
head!"
Li Zhi replied calmly: "My lord, what if the subordinate officials hold back Lao Huihui, or even defeat Lao Huihui's troops?"
Zu Kuan snorted and said nothing.
Li Zhi said: "If Xiaguan defeats Lao Huihui, the commander-in-chief will pay homage to Xiaguan three times. How about that?"
Zu Kuan snorted coldly and walked away.
The night before the battle, Lu Xiangsheng distributed a large amount of wine and meat to all the soldiers and horses in each battalion. In a big battle, morale is the key. Only when the soldiers are fed and drunk can they have high fighting spirit and fight with the traitors.
The soldiers in the other battalions were all miserable. They were used to having to endure hardships when officers deducted their military pay. At this time, they were all very excited and noisy. Li Zhi looked around the soldiers and horses in each battalion and saw that they were everywhere.
There was laughter and laughter. There was meat to eat and wine to drink. The officers and soldiers' faces were flushed, and they temporarily forgot about the dangers of tomorrow.
These days, soldiers lack meat and meat, so they are somewhat malnourished if they only rely on food. Now that they have meat, the soldiers are full of energy.
Li Zhi looked around for a while and felt that these soldiers lived a very hard life, and he really didn't know how much fighting power they had.
However, the Selection Regiment was used to eating meat and meat, so it was no big deal to give out meat and wine at this time. The soldiers calmly shared the food and wine, and the entire military camp was very quiet, which attracted a series of sideways glances from the generals of other battalions.
However, these generals all knew that Tianjin Soldiers and Horses was a weak defense force, and the selected vanguard group was frightened by tomorrow's battle. None of them felt that the selected vanguard group was calm because they were usually treated well.
Li Zhi and the three battalion commanders discussed tomorrow's battle formation in the military tent for a while, then asked all the soldiers in the regiment to turn off the lights and sleep, and he also slept with his clothes on.
At about nine o'clock the next day, thousands of people were stirring in the army camp, and dust was flying. Twenty-eight thousand officers and soldiers broke out of the camp, lined up in battle formations with weapons in hand, and ran and walked in all directions under the leadership of the loudly shouting officers, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.
The rushing water flowed in all directions, and finally formed a mighty army and marched out of the camp. Nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses gathered outside the camp, and lined up in a conical formation according to the command of the officers.
The army was guarded by five thousand cavalry on both wings, and headed towards the north to kill Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng's bandit camp.
Li Zhi rode on his horse and looked at the formation of the army. He only saw the messengers riding fast horses back and forth, and the flags of each battalion were waving. Many of the better-equipped border troops wore mandarin duck war coats, looking red, and said
Unmistakable momentum.
Prime Minister Lu Xiangsheng was wearing a pair of Shanwen iron armor and a green robe outside, riding a horse, and was in the center of the army with a group of generals and deputy generals, with firm eyes.
Li Zhongzhen's Shanhaiguan soldiers and horses were located on the right wing of the army, walking at the side and rear of the army, ready to withdraw at any time to fight the old soldiers on the east wing.
However, the Selection Regiment was not in this army, but moved alone, leaving the army and heading east to meet Lao Huihui's 30,000 troops.
