Zheng Sanlang is a bit honest, a bit stubborn, and single-minded. He is a good person.
When he took him under his command in Dengzhou, Li Qinzai just cherished his talent. After all, strong men like Zheng Sanlang were rare. Although he ate a little more and trained for a few more years in the army, he might be a good person. Member tiger general.
Regrettably, Li Qinzai did not expect that he would be in such a desperate situation today, and everyone would be dragged into a desperate situation.
All of them are good sons and daughters of the Tang Dynasty, and they are all energetic men. If possible, Li Qinzai really doesn't want to watch them die in front of his eyes.
Even if he could survive, how would he face the parents, wives and children of these soldiers after returning to the Tang Dynasty?
The handsome flag was flying above his head. Even though the situation was critical, Li Qinzai couldn't help but sigh.
"Zheng Sanlang, be good and be obedient. Put down the handsome flag first. Don't let it float over my head." Li Qinzai advised gently.
Zheng Sanlang's expression was full of confusion: "Why? When the handsome flag is put down, the morale of the army will be lost!"
Li Qinzai smiled: "You know so much... The commander's flag is floating above my head. Is he going to tell the enemy's marksman that I, the commander of the first army, am here? Come and shoot me?"
Zheng Sanlang was stunned for a moment: "What should we do? Boss Feng said that the handsome flag is not allowed to be put down."
Li Qinzai suppressed his anger and continued to smile: "If you really don't want to put down your commanding flag, is there another possibility? Can you stay away from me? Go to the end of the world and lure the enemy's sharpshooter there."
The question was a bit difficult, Zheng Sanlang scratched his head: "Boss Feng said..."
Li Qinzai finally couldn't help it anymore, stood up and kicked him hard: "Boss Feng is your father? If you listen to him so much, why don't you listen to me?"
Zheng Sanlang was kicked but could not move. Li Qinzai's little strength was not enough to tickle him.
"I can't leave anyway. Boss Feng said that he wants me to protect you personally."
At this time, Zheng Sanlang was as stubborn as a stubborn donkey that was full but refused to travel around the world.
But Zheng Sanlang was still not stupid enough. Shuai Qin refused to let go. This was a matter of principle. People should stay away from Li Qinzai, lest Li Shuai really became a target for the enemy's sharpshooters.
Seeing that Zheng Sanlang was finally far away, Li Qinzai breathed a sigh of relief.
It's really tiring to reason with idiots, even more tiring than going into battle to kill the enemy.
At this time, the enemy's left and right wings began to rush towards the Tang army's formation crazily. Liu Renyuan was injured in one arm, but he still commanded with all his strength.
It has to be said that Li Qinzai's decision to order the soldiers to dig trenches in advance was extremely wise.
If it were not for the obstruction of the trenches outside the Tang Army's formation, the enemy troops would have already broken through the Tang Army's defense line. Once the enemy's formation was broken, the Tang Army's remaining two thousand people would not be enough for them to kill.
Now that there were trenches, the advantage of the enemy's cavalry was basically gone. Many enemy soldiers even gave up riding and crossed trenches one after another on foot to attack the Tang army.
However, walking on foot will inevitably affect the speed, and the firearms of the Tang army soldiers are not polite.
After rounds of volleys of fire, the enemy troops continued to fall in the trenches, or their corpses were hung on the antlers of the horses. One after another, both sides risked their lives, just to completely defeat the other side.
A moment later, there was another crisis in the Tang army.
Many soldiers have used up their gunpowder and are completely out of ammunition.
Without gunpowder, the three-eyed blunderbuss was worse than burning a fire stick, so the soldiers of the Tang army picked up swords, halberds, spears, spears, bows and arrows.
Without the coverage of long-range strikes, the enemy troops who were also attacking with difficulty suddenly felt alive. Under the general's order, they launched another charge towards the Tang army with strange screams.
Li Qinzai's heart became increasingly heavy.
The gunpowder has been used up, the last trace of reliance has been lost, and what follows is a face-to-face fight with swords and guns.
With the enemy's numerical superiority and passive defense, the destruction of this Tang army was only a matter of time.
His heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Li Qinzai was even thinking about choosing the right moment to rush out of the battle after fighting to the last soldier, igniting the explosives tied around his waist and dying with the enemy.
You must not leave your body to them, otherwise it will bring a lot of trouble to Li Ji. It would be better to blow it into pieces, making it impossible for anyone to put it together.
Li Qinzai couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had been in this world for many years and had never treated him badly every day. However, he never expected that his final outcome would be to die without a complete body.
"Li Shuai, the casualties in the front line have been too heavy and we can no longer withstand it!" Liu Renyuan turned his head and yelled at Li Qinzai with an angry look.
Li Qinzai gritted his teeth and said: "The entire army retreated and formed an array in front of Modao Camp. They reduced their array and defended in a circular formation with shields outside."
At this time, there were not many soldiers left in the Tang army. Including Modao Camp, there were only more than a thousand soldiers left in the entire army. After hearing the order, the soldiers quickly retreated until they retreated to Modao Camp, which was located in the rear.
Countless shields were lined up on the periphery of the circular formation, and the halberds and spears behind the shields protruded from the gaps. At this time, the Tang army's formation looked like a weak but fearless hedgehog, making final preparations for survival.
Seeing that the Tang army took the initiative to shrink their array, the enemy troops couldn't help but be overjoyed and crossed the trenches to surround them from all directions.
For a time, countless halberds, swords and spears were fighting each other, and all kinds of weapons slammed into the outer shield formation. As long as a hole was torn open, the remaining more than a thousand Tang troops could be wiped out on the spot.
Li Qinzai's face was expressionless. It was the last desperate situation at this time, but he remained unmoved and looked at the soldiers in the circle fighting with their lives with indifferent eyes.
Fresh young lives passed away in front of his eyes, and the tragic scenes were heartbreaking.
Scenes of blood and corpses all over the ground, as well as the uncontrollable howls of pain from seriously injured soldiers, fell in Li Qinzai's eyes.
Li Qinzai still showed no emotion, but subconsciously touched his waist with his hand.
The explosives tied around his waist were so real that he knew that there was no need to say goodbye to the Paoze brothers at this moment, because he would soon go with you.
The range of the circular formation was very small. Under Li Qinzai's order, the remaining Tang Army soldiers reduced the formation to the maximum extent, and the circular formation was densely packed with people.
Li Qinzai turned his head and saw that Zheng Sanlang was far away from him in the crowd, but he still held the flag high and was almost squeezed to the edge of the circular formation by the soldiers.
At this time, Zheng Sanlang happened to meet Li Qinzai's eyes. Zheng Sanlang pursed his lips and turned his head to the side, showing an aggrieved expression. He was obviously dissatisfied with Li Qinzai for driving him away.
Li Qinzai laughed, this idiot is really...
"Zheng Sanlang, come here and get closer to me," Li Qinzai raised his hand to greet him.
Zheng Sanlang looked overjoyed, and with a slight force on the crowd while holding the flag, the soldiers were crowded to pieces by him, and soon came to Li Qinzai.
"I just said, Li Shuai knows the rules. How can a named general not have a command flag? It's not impressive at all!" Zheng Sanlang waved the command flag vigorously, as if to provoke the enemy.
Now that he was in such a situation, Li Qinzai didn't care anymore and smiled at him: "That's right, how can a famous general not have a handsome flag? He should look majestic before he dies, so that he will have no regrets when he sets out on the road."
In the circular formation, the soldiers were still fighting hard with the enemy across the shield formation. Feng Su and other troops did not know when they returned to Li Qinzai's side.
There were more than two hundred people, but after the fighting just now, there were only less than a hundred people left.
Feng Su was covered in blood, and he didn't know whether it was his own blood or the enemy's blood. The armor on his face was almost stained red.
Looking at Feng Su, who looked tired and almost collapsed from exhaustion, and then slowly looked around at the soldiers in the circle, Li Qinzai sighed.
"I'm sorry everyone, this time I brought the robes into the gate of hell..." Li Qinzai said guiltily.
The words were not loud, but the soldiers around him heard them.
Everyone stared at the enemy troops outside the shield formation. No one looked back, but someone inside the formation laughed and said: "Li Shuai, please don't say this. How lucky you are to live and die with Li Shuai!"
"That's right, we died in battle this time. If the imperial court is kind to us, it wouldn't be too much to reward us with an extra ten acres of Yongye land, right?"
"It's best to ask the official matchmaker in our county to find a wife for my son. His father died in the battle, so the officials have to take care of his son's life-long affairs, right?"
Another soldier sneered: "You can give your county magistrate a dream in the middle of the night, and float in his dream to talk about this matter."
All the soldiers burst into laughter.
What should have been a sad scene before death turned out to be extremely joyful and lively after just a few words.
Li Qinzai wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.
How lucky I am to live and die with such a group of lovely people.
