Before you know it, it has fallen into autumn, and after the Tang army took the city of Huyi, the two countries once again fell into a long silent confrontation.

At this time, the situation of the two armies can be described as distinct.

The Tang army had taken full control of all the cities in northern Goguryeo, and garrisons were stationed in each city.

Not only that, the Tang Dynasty also selected more than 100 civil officials from the Ministry of Officials to urgently enter Goguryeo, and the civil and military cooperated to take over the administration and garrison of the northern city of Goguryeo.

With the city of Humyi as the middle boundary, there are only a dozen cities in the south that are actually controlled by the Goguryeo lords, including the capital Pyongyang.

Under the situation of confrontation between the north and the south, Pyongyang has to worry not only about the sudden general offensive of the Tang army in the north, but also about the northward movement of Silla Baekje in the south and forming a north-south flank attack on Pyongyang.

Therefore, in today's Eastern Expedition, after the 20,000 foreign cavalry who raided Li Qinzai were completely annihilated, Goguryeo completely fell into passivity and had to switch from offensive to defensive and enter the strategic defense stage.

The battle outside the Black Bone City commanded by Li Qinzai became a turning point in the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Crusade, a knowledge point that is incomparably bright in the history books and is enough to be marked by generations of descendants.

After this battle, the Tang Army's battle situation has advanced more and more smoothly, and the victory or defeat of the two armies is almost imminent.

In the next battle, as long as the commander of the Tang Army does not make a mistake in his brain and does not make stupid decisions with low IQ, there is no suspense about destroying Goguryeo.

It has to be said that the unexpected encounter outside the Black Bone City laid a solid foundation for the victory of the Tang Army's Eastern Crusade.

From the perspective of the overall situation, although the battle was fought hard, and the price paid was huge, the rate of return was very high, and the sacrifices of the soldiers were of great value.

Victory or defeat is a point, Li Qinzai is relieved, so he goes farther and farther on the road of waste.

After more than ten days of recuperation in the camp outside the Black Bone City, at the insistence of Qibi He Li, Li Tao and Li Qinzai's ancestors and grandsons were semi-forcibly taken to the city of humiliation.

has already received a profound lesson, Qi He Li no longer dares to take it lightly, Li Tao and Li Qinzai must follow the main force to act together, otherwise if there is another foreign cavalry raid, Qi Qi He Li has the mind to hang his neck.

Li Tao's injuries have recovered well, his legs and feet are still lame, but his complexion has improved a lot, and he can eat, sleep, and scold the street.

Li Qinzai was a little troublesome, he was injured internally and couldn't move easily, in order to transfer Li Qinzai to Humiliation City, Qi Qi He Li put a lot of thought into it.

The craftsmen of the ordnance supervision of the army specially made a soft pocket for Li Qinzai carried by eight people, which was covered with soft and thick silk brocade mattress, and even the soldiers who carried the soft bag were specially trained, no matter how much they walked on any terrain, they could keep the soft pocket on the level plane and ensure that it did not bum.

Not only that, in order to escort the grandparents and grandchildren, Xue Rengui and Gao Kan, two famous generals, led the army to protect all the way, and the two armies added up to more than 20,000 people, tightly surrounding the ancestors and grandchildren in the middle, escorting the national treasure all the way through the city.

During the two-day journey, in order to ensure that Li Qinzai's injury was not aggravated, the team walked for five days.

Finally, on the evening of the fifth day, Li Tao and Li Qinzai arrived at the city of Humiliation.

After seeing Li Tao, Qibi He Li was ashamed to clench his fists and plead guilty, it was his negligence that caused the grandparents and grandchildren to fall into a desperate situation and almost made a big mistake.

Li Tao smiled, not caring at all.

The appearance of those 20,000 alien soldiers and horses, no one expected that if it was Li Tao, he would probably make the same mistake.

The crisis is a turning point, who would have thought that after annihilating this alien army, the Tang Army would completely grasp the strategic initiative.

Goguryeo's last hole card was thus abolished by Li Qinzai and the 5,000 soldiers under his command.

After pleading guilty, Qi Qi He Li looked at Li Qinzai who was lying on the soft pocket again, and said with a guilty face: "Jing Chu, the old man was negligent this time, I can't stand you, and the heavy weapon of the country was almost killed by me, it's my fault." ”

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "Grandpa Qibi is not like this, and he is tormented by the boy." It was an accident, and no one is at fault. ”

He Li sighed, and subconsciously slapped his palm on Li Qinzai's shoulder.

"Don't say anything, after returning to Chang'an in triumph, the old man will compensate you well......"

Then He Li was stunned to find that Li Qinzai's face had turned pale, his eyes were about to split, and he couldn't stop shaking.

"What's wrong with Jing Chu?" Qi Qi He Li asked blankly.

Li Qinzai said weakly: "Hurry up...... Call the doctor to save me! ”

Li Tao was so angry that he flew up and slapped Qi He Li on the back: "Old killer, are you serious with that palm?" ”

…………

After entering the Tang army camp outside the city of Huyi, Li Qinzai was settled in the camp tent next to the tent of the Chinese army marshal.

While Li Qinzai entered the camp tent and was rescued by Kim Da Yeon, Qi Bi He Li helped Li Tao into the tent.

Li Tao's body has almost recovered, but his legs and feet are still a little inconvenient, so next, Qi He Li naturally returned the command of the Tang Army to Li Tao.

From now on, Li Tao was still the commander of the First Army, and He Li became his subordinate general.

Li Tao took over the command without hesitation.

He knows very well that this is the curtain call of his life, and he hopes to leave a bright mark in the history books, and there is no need to be humble about anything.

In Li Qinjae's tent, Kim Da-yeon gave him a few injections, and Xiao Baga fed him a decoction, and Li Qinjae finally came back to life.

Kim Da-yeon's expression is very cold, and her speech smells of gunpowder.

"Even if you are an elder, you can't be so ignorant of the seriousness of your attack." Kim Da-yeon was dissatisfied.

Li Qinzai said gratefully: "Thank you Doctor Jin for your concern." ”

Kim Da-yeon said coldly: "What am I worried about? It's your business that your injuries are getting worse, and the important thing is that you're causing me trouble. ”

Li Qinzai: "............"

In front of the doctor, no matter how awesome the patient is, he has to endure it.

When I'm healed......

Outside the tent, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and before anyone arrived, the sound came first.

"Brother Jing Chu, foolish brother...... It's a step too late! Xue Ne rushed into the tent like a gust of wind, and knelt in front of his bed and wailed in grief.

Li Qinzai's face turned green, and he quickly looked up at Xiao Baga: "Call the tribe to come in, fork this evil beast out, quickly!" ”

Xiao Yaga looked at Xue Ne in embarrassment, hesitated and didn't dare to move.

Xue Ne raised his head with tears in his eyes: "Why did Brother Jingchu fork the foolish brother out?" ”

"Because of your unfortunate appearance of running to the funeral banquet, it has aggravated my injuries, get out!"

"Brother Jingchu ......"

"Shut up, I'm not good." Li Qinzai closed his eyes and didn't bother to look at him.

"Brother Jing Chu's deeds, the foolish brother has heard about it, outside the Black Bone City, 5,000 soldiers against 20,000 cavalry, tragic and great, the foolish brother admires it very much, and I hate to fight side by side with Brother Jing Chu in person."

Xue Ne's expression when he said this was very sincere, and it was obviously not a joke.

Looking at Li Qinzai's body distressedly, Xue Ne sighed again: "This battle almost killed my Tang Dynasty's heavy weapon, fortunately, Jing Chu's brother Ji is a natural appearance, and his life should not be ......."

After saying two words in a row, Li Qinzai's mood finally improved.

So Li Qinzai said politely: "It's not bad to be cautious about the virtuous brother, I heard that the virtuous brother didn't spend a single soldier, and persuaded the humiliating city to surrender, and it was passed on as a good story for our army......"

Xue Ne's spirits perked up, as if he was waiting for this compliment, and immediately opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Immodestly, the wisdom and courage of the foolish brother is actually not inferior to Brother Jing Chu, and the brother and the foolish brother are called the sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks in the world, presumably no one objected......"

was about to talk about his merits, but was interrupted by Li Qinzai in time.

"Change the subject, you continue to praise me."
