As soon as Li Jing finished speaking, soldiers on the left and right came forward to drag the opponent away and execute him.
But at this moment, the other party yelled again,
"General, you are mistaken, I am really a forbidden soldier!"
"I...I'm from the Pioneer Battalion, and our commander is Shenghou! It's General Li Shengli!"
…
As soon as he said this, Li Jing was stunned.
Li Sheng...
Your Highness!
He...he is commanding the troops?
Although it still feels ridiculous.
But...at this moment, for some reason, I heard Li Sheng's name.
Li Jing, who was originally worried, actually felt a sense of security.
His Royal Highness the First Prince...
He just has such qualifications!
Although Li Jing still couldn't believe it, he still asked someone to pull the man over again.
"You said you are a subordinate of the Holy Marquis?"
"General! Exactly!"
This little soldier was also frightened. If he was killed by one of his own people, then this expedition would be too funny.
He nodded hastily in agreement, "We set out more than half a month ago. At that time, we received news from you, General, that the Turkic army was about to move south, so Your Majesty sent a vanguard army!"
"Vanguard Army, Pioneer Battalion..."
Li Jing narrowed his eyes, "Okay, let me ask you, do you know how many troops there are in Chang'an now?"
"One...twenty thousand!"
Although he hesitated for a while, he still answered correctly.
This made Li Jing extremely confused. It seemed that the other party knew the situation in Chang'an.
The possibility of it being the real Imperial Guard is indeed not small.
But what's the problem? This man's condition is so good, it doesn't look like he has been suffering in Mobei for a long time.
And then again...how could even His Highness the First Prince defeat an army of 390,000 Turks in one fell swoop?
This is not even a question of impossibility or reliability, it is a complete fantasy!
No matter how talented the eldest prince is, he is not a heavenly soldier or a heavenly general, right?
The storytellers in the Fly Tavern on the outskirts of Chang'an didn't dare to make up this story.
but……
Li Jing did not propose to kill this man again, but had other ideas.
Although the possibility is slim...but now is the end of the road.
If such a thing really happened, wouldn't it solve an urgent need?
Of course, this is only one aspect.
The other reason is much more tragic.
Li Jing has already thought about it.
So far, more than twenty days have passed since I sent the messenger to report the news.
In these twenty days, His Majesty should have received news.
If God bless, the Turks do not immediately go south, but decide to search for themselves in Mobei, solve their worries before advancing into the Central Plains, is it difficult...
During this time, Your Majesty will definitely summon the soldiers and horses from all over the world.
So at this time, it is impossible for him to get any more food supplies.
So what should you do at this time?
Fight to the death with the Turks and use your last life to buy the last time for Datang to regroup its forces.
This is the last responsibility I can fulfill!
Li Jing thought for a moment, turned to his left and right, and said, "The whole army listens to the order, Iron Dragon Camp, Shenwei Camp... let go of all the military rations, take all the grenades and walk, prepare to fight to the death. Fire Ox Camp, White Tiger Camp, bring them
All horses, prepare to raid the plundering formation!"
Then he turned his head and squinted at the soldier.
"Since you said you are from the Holy Marquis, then lead the way!"
Of course Li Jing didn't believe that the other party was Li Sheng's person.
But it doesn't really matter now.
Once you are determined to die, it really doesn't matter where the other person comes from.
If it is an enemy, there will always be a moment when the enemy is finally revealed, and at most it will be a decisive battle.
The arrangement Li Jing made at this moment was exactly the arrangement used in the most difficult situation.
Even when surrounded or ambushed, he can pour out the arrows and grenades in his hand to kill the enemy as much as possible.
The pawn in front of Li Jing had been pampered in Li Sheng's camp for more than half a month. When he saw this battle, how could he dare to speak.
Anyway, the general doesn't believe it, so why not just take him there...
…
One day passed...
It was getting dark.
In winter in the north, the days are extremely short.
The wasteland was in total darkness.
Li Jing looked around intently.
After a while, he suddenly remembered something, pulled Hong Fu Nu over and whispered softly, "Now you lead the troops, and I will pretend to be a guard and hide in the army!"
Hongfu Nu was startled, "Why is this necessary?"
"...Sigh." Li Jing sighed, "Now that the country is about to perish, how can I stay out of it? These troops are seriously insufficient. They are like mosquitoes and flies in front of the 390,000 Turkic army..."
"It is no longer possible to win the battle. It is just a matter of fighting for as long as you can..."
"Moreover……"
What Li Jing means is
Halfway through, I suddenly felt hesitant and wondered whether I should continue.
However, Hong Funu smiled sadly, "You are a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. We cannot let the Turks get your head and use it to attack the defenders of Chang'an, right?"
Li Jing didn't say anything, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Yes, the current situation is so serious.
Then Li Jing quickly changed his disguise, and then personally cleared the way for the soldiers in the vanguard.
After walking for a while...
I really found a special place.
At the foot of a high mountain, there are sparse woods.
This forest is not unusual, but what is strange is that on a very gentle slope beside the forest, there is a looming light!
The firelight flickers and the stars are dotted.
Looking at the light color from a distance, it seems to be like a torch.
And in this firelight, there are patches of shadows, which seem to be vines, thorns, bushes, etc.
Among the thorns and vines, there are so many firelights swaying little by little, it looks so weird and weird, it is simply evil.
Li Jing looked at it, what a good guy,
Just this, you said this is the military camp of His Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty?
I, Li Jing, believe what kind of monster lair this is!
Huan Sheng Hou, ghost monkey, this is it.
Li Jing didn't believe that this was Li Sheng's camp. Besides...
Li Sheng's military literacy, at least in theory, was very clear to him.
That’s called having too many eyes.
Based on Li Sheng's vigilance, he could see the distance between the camp and the camp, so there was definitely an ambush.
And there must be a lot of mines and other objects nearby.
But now?
At all...
"snort!"
Li Jing snorted secretly and turned around to make a gesture quietly.
Hong Fu Nu immediately understood and waved her hand to order, "Attention, all troops, there is a Turkic camp ahead. We will rob the camp tonight and catch them off guard!"
Several captains immediately agreed, and then quickly dispersed, leading their respective troops and horses towards the camp's fire at high speed.
But after a while...
Li Jing suddenly heard a loud shout coming from above his head.
