If being a general is also a profession, Gao Kan is undoubtedly very professional.

The slightest detail in the marching formation made him keenly aware of something was wrong.

Gao Kan is a person who is naturally suitable for the battlefield, he is like a hunting dog wandering in the mountains and forests, and he can smell the prey from the ordinary wind and grass.

The words of the homeless made Gao Kan immediately alert.

A lot of seemingly inconsequential clues, if they are connected, can deduce a very scary result.

On the one hand, the clues are: the northern tribes looted Hengshan City and attacked the south......

On the other hand, the clue is: the Tang army camp outside the Black Bone City, Li Tao stayed behind to recuperate from his wounds, and there were only 5,000 garrisons.

These clues were connected, and Gao Kan's face couldn't help but become more and more ugly.

The tribesmen hurried down to inquire about the homeless people, and the results were quickly obtained.

There were about 20,000 soldiers and horses of the northern tribes, all of whom were cavalry, and after plundering Hengshan City, they went south in the direction of ...... Ebony City!

Gao Kan only felt a chill in his back, which was a feeling of being stabbed in the back.

"Dog offal, dare to bully me Datang!" Gao Kan yelled angrily.

The news is confirmed, and Gao Kan is anxious.

"Order, divert to Black Bone City, the whole army march in a hurry, march in a hurry! Don't stop for a moment, hurry! Gao Kan hissed.

The soldiers did not know why, and they were supposed to go in the direction of the city of humiliation, but suddenly changed their route and ordered a rapid march, which must have happened urgently.

Gao Kan's anger and anxiety soon infected the whole army, and the expressions of the soldiers became solemn, and they began to trot forward without saying a word.

"Send scouts, Pegasus rush to the direction of Black Bone City, and detect the situation of the enemy and our army!"

"Send someone to send a letter to General Qibi, the northern tribes intend to raid my camp in Wugu City, please send reinforcements to help Ying Gong and Li Qinzai!"

A series of military orders were issued, and the air became inexplicably tense.

Gao Kan was so angry that his hair was all open, and he rode forward quickly.

…………

Five miles outside the Black Bone City.

The scouts came to report, the enemy army had finished reorganizing, the army was assembled, and began to pounce on the battlefield.

The explosives pack frightened the enemy generals only for a while, but not for long.

Li Qinzai and the enemy general knew very well that this was a decisive battle that would not last forever, and they would not face off for a long time because of the appearance of the explosive package.

This essential road from north to south, Li Qinzai must defend it to the death, and the enemy general must open it, even if he breaks his teeth, he must tear open the defense line of the Tang army.

This is an inevitable conflict, and no matter how terrifying the explosives package is, it cannot compare with the established strategy of the enemy generals.

In this raid on the Tang Army, the northern tribes also made a heavy bet, and the bet was on the lives of men, women, and children of each tribe.

With the Tang army's knife stabbed in the back, if Goguryeo turned the tide of the war and the Tang army's eastward crusade failed again, Goguryeo and the northern tribes would be able to maintain peace for decades.

If Goguryeo is destroyed, then the northern tribes will be unlucky, dare to stab the Tang army's knife in the back, after Goguryeo destroys the country, the Tang Dynasty will not let go of the northern tribes no matter what, just like when Li Jing swept the Turks, the northern tribes will also have the same fate.

The aftermath of the Tang Dynasty after the autumn settlement will inevitably be a chicken and a dog for the northern tribes.

This battle is a decisive battle involving the survival of three sides, not only to see the superior, but also to divide life and death.

The last scout came to report that the enemy had moved forward again, but Li Qinzai did not make any waves.

What should come will come eventually.

"Liu Renyuan, give orders, line up, and prepare for war." Li Qinzai gave a faint order.

Liu Renyuan pulled out his knife and roared loudly: "The whole army is arrayed, prepare for war!" ”

The soldiers quickly assembled, found their place in the array, and silently charged the Three-Eyed Gun.

Li Qinzai's face was expressionless, and there was no emotional fluctuation in his heart.

More than 2,000 against 10,000, there is no chance of winning, and it can be said that it is a fatal situation, unless reinforcements fall from the sky at this moment.

Waiting for the gap between the arrival of the enemy army, Li Qinzai squatted on the ground and silently started the math problem.

Not surprisingly, this question must be done.

Assuming that the troops escorted the wounded Li Tao, considering the mountainous terrain of Goguryeo and the current situation that Li Tao was injured and difficult to travel, the speed of the uniform march of Li Tao and his troops was about three miles in an hour.

Then about five hours have passed from the time Li Qinzai led his troops to engage the enemy army at this moment, that is to say, Li Tao has only walked less than twenty miles.

If Li Qinzai did not hold and let the enemy army pass, with the speed of the enemy's cavalry, perhaps he would catch up with Li Tao within two hours, and then it would be an irreparable shame.

Throwing the branch in his hand to the ground, Li Qinzai sighed: "I have to hold on for at least five hours...... Otherwise, the old man would definitely not be willing to be captured and take the initiative to wipe his neck. ”

"When you are old, you are so aggrieved to die, I will praise you for dying on a woman's belly, and wiping your neck is too tragic."

How to hold on to the five hours? Li Qinzai had no answer, he didn't even have the confidence to block the next wave of enemy attacks.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves was heard, and before the enemy troops were seen, they could already smell the strong murderous and bloody aura in the air.

More than 2,000 soldiers looked solemn and silently clenched the three-eyed gun in their hands.

In the distance ahead, I have seen the enemy army waving flags, and the figures are building, densely packed like moving ants.

Li Qinzai squinted and stared ahead, and suddenly said loudly: "Where is Pei Zhengqing?" ”

Pei Zhengqing, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up, hugged his fists and said: "The end will be!" ”

Pei Zhengqing's only Mo knife general in the army, with five hundred Mo knife men under his command, had such a tragic white-knuckle battle with the enemy before, Li Qinzai couldn't help but let the Mo knife battalion play, and only ordered Pei Zhengqing to lead his troops to hold the rear army.

At this moment, it has reached the point of life and death, and it is time for the Modao Battalion to play.

When he read history books in his previous life, he inexplicably had an awe and fascination for the Modao Camp of the Tang Dynasty, so he simply built one himself.

One is to insure the lives of himself and his soldiers at the most critical juncture of the war. The second can also be regarded as a kind of feeling that fulfills the previous life.

I didn't expect it to really come in handy today, and there is a providence in the dark.

"Pei Zhengqing, you lead the Modao battalion to still hold the rear army, if the soldiers in front are defeated...... Your Modao battalion is the last line of defense. ”

Li Qinzai stared at his face and said gloomily, "You guys...... How long can we keep, just do our best, we have done our best, worthy of the Son of Heaven, worthy of the Tang Dynasty, and worthy of heaven and earth. ”

Pei Zhengqing's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The last general and the Modao Battalion are less than five hundred soldiers, and they will fight to the death to the last soldier!" ”

"No one will leave the battlefield alive unless they win!"

Li Qinzai smiled, it was quite tragic, fighting for his life on the battlefield, shrouding the body in horse leather, and the husband should be like this.

In the midst of the military formation, the long horn had sounded, and the sobbing was low and like a cry.

The enemy forward has appeared in sight, and the horses are stationed in the distance to confront each other.

The final showdown is coming.
