The sudden news made Li Qinzai's ears buzz.

The first thought that popped into my mind was that the northeast direction had long been controlled by the Tang Army, how could a 20,000-strong army and horses appear inexplicably?

Did it fall from the sky?

The second thought was panic, the main force of the Tang army had been taken away by Qi Qi He Li, and at this time it was marching towards the city of humiliation, and the main army was at least three days away from the Tang army camp, at this time there were only 5,000 defenders in the camp, while the enemy had 20,000.

Originally, the Tang army was equipped with firearms, and 5,000 against 20,000 was not worried, but Li Qinzai knew that the Goguryeo army already had a thickened shield that could block the projectiles of firearms.

"Is the message accurate? Are you sure it's enemy forces? Li Qinzai asked unrelentingly.

The scout was covered in wounds, standing in front of Li Qinzai and crying, in order to convey this urgent military information, the scout team was almost all killed, and he was the only one left.

"The news is accurate, the news that our entire scout team exchanged their lives for, if there is a mistake, the villain is willing to lead the army."

Li Qinzai looked stunned, sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "They are all heroes, thank you for delivering the news in time, otherwise we will suffer a big loss." ”

"For those who died in battle, I will ask the Son of Heaven for mercy, and the names of each of you will be recorded in the merit book, their wives and children, and the court will help them raise them."

The scout cried: "Thank you Li Shuai!" ”

Li Qinzai has a heavy heart, this time against 20,000 enemy troops, his chances of winning are not big, and what is even worse is that there is Li Tao in the camp.

If the old man has three long and two short, Li Qinzai can only wipe his neck and apologize.

"Don't tell anyone about the enemy attack, go down." Li Qinzai said solemnly.

After the scouts retreated, Li Qinzai summoned the troops around Li Tao again.

The team's name is Liu Xing, his father has followed Li Tao for many years, and Liu Xing is considered a hereditary tribe.

Liu Xing entered the account, Li Qinzai stared at him, and said slowly: "Give you a military order, strictly enforce it, can you do it?" ”

Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Wu Shaolang, but there is an order, the villain goes to the soup to fight the fire......"

Li Qinzai sighed and said, "This time it's almost time to go to the soup...... There were about 200 people in the tribes around my grandfather, and you led all the tribes to escort my grandfather out of the camp and march to the southeast to the city of Huyi, and join the main army of Qibi He Li. ”

Liu Xing said in surprise: "Why do you suddenly want to escort the old man out of the camp?" The old man's body is not yet well, if the road is bumpy......"

Li Qinzai shook his head: "A bump is not in the way, but staying in the camp will kill you." At this time, there is an enemy army of 20,000 men and horses thirty miles away from the camp, which is suddenly attacking our camp, understand? ”

Liu Xing was shocked: "Where did the enemy army come out?" ”

Li Qinzai said angrily: "I want to know the origin of this army more than you, in short, you hurry up and escort my grandfather away, and I will lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to fight the enemy to buy time for your departure." ”

Liu Xing hurriedly said: "The delicate body of the fifth young man, how can he take risks lightly, it is better to leave the work of dealing with the enemy to me, I can ......"

"You can be a fart," Li Qinzai immediately interrupted, "Will those generals under my command obey you?" Do you know how to command thousands of soldiers? Who else can do this work but me? ”

Saying that, Li Qinzai said in an aggravated tone: "I'll say goodbye to my grandfather first, and then you take my grandfather out of the camp, if he asks the reason, tell him after leaving the camp twenty miles, go!" ”

Liu Xing hesitated left and right, and finally stomped his feet, turned around and walked out of the camp.

Li Qinzai sat in the tent for a moment, then got up, walked to the corner of the tent, and took out a pair of crutches, which Li Qinzai secretly instructed the craftsmen of the Ordnance Prison to build.

Li Tao was dozing off in the tent, his body had recovered well in the past two days, and his speech function had gradually become normal, but the fracture of his right leg was still not good.

Li Qin loaded into the account and saw that Li Tao seemed to be asleep, so he tiptoed closer.

walked to the bed, Li Tao still didn't wake up, it seems that the quality of sleep is good, it is a blessing from heaven to be able to sleep so deeply at this age.

Quietly picking up a beard under Li Tao's chin, Li Qinzai looked at Li Tao carefully, and then ...... With a hard pull, the beard was pulled out raw.

Li Tao screamed in pain, opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Li Qinzai holding a beard in his hand, looking at him innocently.

"Evil beasts! What did you do? Li was angry.

Li Qinzai pressed Li Tao's shoulders with both hands and exclaimed, "Grandpa, you had a nightmare just now......

Before he finished speaking, Li Tao's intact left leg stretched out and kicked him fiercely: "If the old man doesn't listen to your nonsense, he will die!" ”

As he spoke, Li Tao pressed the waist knife at the head of the bed.

Just as he was about to raise his scabbard to whip him, Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "Grandpa is angry, grandson is still a child, the child is naughty occasionally, why bother with grandchild......"

Li Tao stared at him unkindly: "What are you doing?" ”

Li Qinzai held a pair of crutches in both hands and said with a smile: "My grandson personally created this thing for my grandfather, which can help my grandfather recover from his leg injury and walk like an ordinary person." ”

Li Tao looked at the pair of crutches and wondered: "This thing ......"

Li Qinzai then demonstrated in person, clamped the pair of crutches under his armpits, and then limped around in a circle in the tent.

Li Tao understood at a glance, and couldn't help laughing: "Good thing, if you have it, the old man can indeed walk on the ground." ”

Li Qinzai helped him up from the bed and helped him practice how to use crutches.

After a while, Li Tao completely learned, and he couldn't help but feel very good, and the matter of pulling out his beard just now was no longer bothered with him.

Seeing that Li Tao was in a good mood, Li Qinzai said: "Grandpa hasn't been out of the handsome tent since he was injured, why don't you let the subordinates take you around the camp?" ”

Without waiting for Li Tao to respond, Li Qinzai immediately raised his voice to call Liu Xing.

"Go, take the first part, and escort grandpa out of the camp to breathe."

Li Tao frowned and said, "What kind of breath is it in the middle of the night?" Are you sick or is the old man sick? ”

"Grandpa, of course you are sick, and if you are sick, you have to breathe fresh air." Li Qinzai turned his head to look at Liu Xing and gestured with his eyes.

Liu Xing understood, so he stepped forward to hug Li Tao, and walked him outside the handsome tent without saying anything.

Li Tao sensed that something was wrong, and said coldly: "What the hell is going on?" Tell me clearly, what's wrong? ”

Liu Xing didn't speak, almost hugged Li Tao and walked out.

Li Qinzai stood in the handsome tent, quietly watching Li Tao being carried away while struggling, his eyes revealing a bit of reluctance and determination.

His shoulders felt a little heavy inexplicably, and that was when he took over the burden that Li Tao had undertaken for many years.

…………

"Assemble the whole army and prepare for battle!"

After Li Tao was forcibly taken away by his subordinates, Li Qinzai's fierce shouting came from the camp.

The horn sounded, and the 5,000 officers and men of the Tang Army were quickly dressed up and assembled in a formation on the school field of the large camp.

Li Qinzai looked around at the soldiers, there were not many soldiers and horses of 5,000 soldiers, and the forward battalion under the command of Hei Yan Changzhi, which made Li Qinzai handy, was also taken away by Qi He Li.

The only good news is that Pei Zhengqing's Modao battalion is still in the camp.
