The swamp beside the river was formed due to the diversion of the river. It was not very large in area, only half the size of a football field, but at this time it became a hell of Shura that eats people without spitting out bones. Nearly a hundred mounted Goryeo soldiers braked due to high-speed charging.

I couldn't help but fell into it, but I saw people blocking people, horses throwing down, people riding horses, and horses suppressing people. It was very lively, but both people and horses were desperately struggling to survive. There were cries, screams, and neighs.

The sounds blended together, making it extremely scary.

As we all know, the swamp is full of mud underneath. The harder you struggle, the faster you sink. Try to stretch your limbs and don't move around, but you can fight for a chance of survival. Of course, the premise is that someone rescues you, otherwise the consequences will be

It was still covered with a white cloth, and the whole village, old and young, waited for the food to be served.

Those Goryeo cavalrymen were all panicked when something unexpected happened, and they all struggled instinctively, not to mention the horses. So in just a few minutes, more than a dozen horses, together with their owners, completely sank under the mire and disappeared.

There were only piles of black mud left bubbling, even Gao Bufan was frightened and distressed. Of course, he only felt sorry for those horses. If a dozen war horses could be brought back to Sui Dynasty, at least

It can be sold for a thousand taels of silver.

Fortunately, there were still about 60 Goryeo cavalrymen who did not get stuck in the swamp. They instinctively tried to rescue their companions, but were caught off guard by the ambush soldiers who suddenly appeared in the reeds. In the end, they had to give up the rescue and concentrate on fighting the sudden attack.

The ambush broke out.

Centurion Liu Chengwu was lucky. Although he ran at the front, he was agile and his feet got out of the stirrups in time without being pinned down by his mount. Many of the cavalry under his command had their feet trapped in the stirrups.

, and then being crushed by the fallen war horse, he didn't even have time to struggle and became an innocent soul under the swamp.

Liu Chengwu climbed on the back of a horse, jumped on the back of another horse, and then stepped on the heads of several companions. Only then did he escape from the swamp and save his life, while another centurion Liu Zhengzhe was very worried.

Unluckily, after falling into the swamp, he was hit and crushed by a dozen cavalrymen behind him who were unable to stop themselves. He was probably crushed to death before he could hold back his breath.

Let us say that after Liu Chengwu escaped from the swamp, he grabbed an ownerless war horse and tried to summon the remaining cavalry to counterattack. Unfortunately, after the cavalry lost its mobility, it could not gain much advantage in front of the infantry, not to mention there was a large swamp next to it.

The space for the horses to move was restricted. In the end, Liu Chengwu only led a dozen riders to break out in panic and escape. He himself was hit by an arrow on his shoulder.

In about half an hour, the battle was completely over. No one could be seen on the originally crowded swamp. The water was still and the river was flying. Only a few horses were left lying on the mud and lingering.

Liu Gou'er, Liu Qijin and others tried to pull the few remaining war horses out of the mud, but failed. After a few minutes, the horses were gradually submerged in the mud above their heads and followed their owners.

It was noon, the sun was shining, and this late spring already had a hint of early summer, but Pei Xingyan felt a little cold on his back. He was extremely brave and fearless of death. He had just experienced a bloody battle, but now he saw it with his own eyes.

Seeing a hundred-man cavalry being silently swallowed up by the swamp, I couldn't help but feel chills all over my body.

The eight surviving guards next to them were also shocked and broke into a cold sweat. They did not expect that the ground covered with fresh green grass would turn out to be a terrifying man-eating swamp. And they had been stationed at the edge of the swamp just now. If they had not followed Gao

If Bufan and Pei Xingyan had turned their horses and charged, and instead fled to the river for their lives, they would have died in this swamp like those Goguryeo cavalry.

At the thought of this, the guards looked at Gao Bufan with complicated eyes. They were filled with admiration and gratitude, but more fear. After all, no one would feel comfortable if they were used as bait. If it weren't for Gao Bufan, the same would be true.

Using his body as bait to fight side by side with everyone, the guards probably only have resentment and anger in their hearts, after all, more than half of their brothers died here.

Gao Bufan also understood that his approach was not kind to Pei Xingyan and others, but as the saying goes, the two powers harm each other, whichever is the lesser, annihilating two teams of Goguryeo cavalry at the cost of more than a dozen lives was undoubtedly an extremely cost-effective deal for him

What's more, he and Pei Xingyan and others didn't know each other at first, let alone have any friendship, so he didn't feel bad about it. If he had to do it over again, he would still choose to do it. As for what Pei Xingyan and others think, he doesn't care.

It's best if you can understand. It's okay if you don't understand. The worst is to part ways.

In this battle, the luckiest person was undoubtedly the dandy Li Yi. This guy almost died in the swamp, but Han Laoshi shot an arrow and knocked his horse off its feet.

He was unscathed, but a little embarrassed. However, his two confidants, Li Jindou and Li Yindou, suffered varying degrees of injuries.

At this time, Li Yi was sitting on a dead horse, his helmet was missing, and the two generals Li Jindou and Li Yindou were bandaging each other's wounds.

Li Yi was still very angry that his mount was shot, but when he saw the miserable state of the stick soldiers who fell into the swamp, he immediately lost his anger. At this time, only fear and luck were left in his heart, and he murmured:

: "Although his grandma's kid named Gao is young, he is full of bad intentions and dares to use us as bait. This trick is really sinister and vicious."

This guy didn't feel ashamed at all for his behavior of running away from the battle, but instead talked about other people's evil deeds.

Next to him, Second General Heng Ha nodded in agreement, and listened to Li Jindou say: "What the young master said is absolutely true. That boy is not only good at riding and shooting, he is also very good at fighting. His martial arts skills are probably even better than those of Pei Xingyan. The key is this boy."

He is also very scheming, and my subordinates found that everyone here only looks up to him, so it is best for the young master to restrain himself and not to conflict with this person."

From this point of view, this Li Jindou is still a smart person, but Li Yi is obviously not. He said disapprovingly: "I'm afraid of him. Although this kid named Gao is from the Bohai Gao family, the current Bohai Gao family gave me the Longxi Li family."

He is not even worthy to carry shoes, not to mention that he is just a white man, not even a soldier. Why should he be the boss and command the government army and militia? Do you believe or not, I will show my identity and see who the government army and militia will listen to? "

After this guy finished speaking, he actually stood up and shouted to several government soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield nearby: "You guys, come here!"

These government soldiers saw Li Yi fleeing from the battle with their own eyes, and they felt a little disdainful. However, they were regular troops after all. Looking at the equipment Li Yi carried, they knew that his status was not low. They could only patiently step forward and salute: "Sir, what do you have?"

thing?"

"Blinded your dog eyes!" Li Doujin cursed sternly, and Li Yindou next to him immediately followed up and said with dignity: "This is the eldest grandson of Li Hun, the current Duke of the State of Xi, Zuowuwei General. Thousands of cattle are prepared.

Li Yi Mr. Li."

The expressions of several soldiers changed slightly. Naturally, no one would dare to pretend to be the eldest grandson of the Duke of He. Not to mention the general of the Duke, even Qianniu Beishen was the bodyguard of the emperor. He was very noble and not a low-level soldier like them at all.

Those who could be offended quickly nodded and bowed and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Li, I was blind, please forgive me!"

Li Yide said proudly: "Ignorance is not guilty. I want to ask you, do you listen to that kid Gao Bufan, or do you listen to me?"

Several soldiers couldn't help but look at each other. Although they were wary of Li Yi's identity and background, they knew that this was a useless teammate. If they had listened to him, they might have been cheated that day, and the possibility of returning to Sui Dynasty alive was slim.

, but Mr. Gao is different. Although he is a white man, he is not only able to fight, but also has a bright mind, is fair and just, and has a sense of responsibility. He destroyed two teams of stick cavalry with a snap of his fingers. Following such a smart man, I feel at ease and return to the Sui Dynasty.

The hope is also greater.

Although Li Yi has a prominent family, everyone is now trapped in an enemy country, and their lives are in danger. Their so-called identities are not even important. The most important thing is whether they can survive. They must have real abilities, and Gao Bufan is obviously the one who has the ability.

Bit.

After such a comparison, naturally even a fool would know how to choose. One of the soldiers coughed slightly and said: "I'm sorry, my subordinate is a little urgent to urinate. I need to lose two kilograms." After saying this, he hurriedly said.

He hurriedly ran towards the reeds.

This government soldier was smart and did not answer Li Yi directly. He just escaped by urinating. However, the statement that he lost two kilograms was a bit exaggerated.

After hearing this, several other government soldiers also hurriedly followed suit and escaped with various excuses. Li Yi was so angry that his lungs almost exploded, and he cursed and said: "Rebellion, rebellion, these bitch slaves have all rebelled, let Shao Liang go."

Damn you, you are so stupid that you think you are a cow, an elephant, or grass!"

Li Jindou and Li Yindou were also greatly surprised. It seemed that the boy named Gao had a high prestige, and he even refused to surrender to his son even if his identity was revealed.

"Sir, please calm down. Since those government troops have no regard for you, why not give those mud-legged militia a try?" Li Jindou advised.

Li immediately understood, yes, those militiamen were all local warriors who were being called up, and were even more despicable than the government soldiers. As long as he showed his identity and offered some benefits to recruit, these untouchables would definitely rush to grab his thighs.

"Hey, that kid...yes, I'm talking about you!" Li Yi pointed at Liu Gou'er who was passing by and shouted.

Liu Gou'er stopped and said in disgust: "Coward, what do you want me to do?"

Li Yi almost fell down, and secretly advised himself that it is normal for a young man with dirty legs to be ignorant, and there is no need to be angry. Li Jindou next to him scolded sternly: "Fart, it will blind your dog's eyes. I know this man

Who is it?"

Li Yindou immediately introduced in a majestic manner: "This is the eldest grandson of Li Hun, the current Duke of Tan, the general of Zuowuwei, and Mr. Li Yi of Qianniu."

Liu Gouer rolled his eyes inexplicably and said, "It's none of my business!"

Li Jindou and Li Yindou immediately choked and rolled their eyes. Li Yi almost suffered from internal injuries and said angrily: "You despicable mud-legged guy really has no knowledge. I will give you a hundred taels of silver. Forget it, I must have never seen a mud-legged guy like you."

Silver, I will give you one hundred thousand dollars, but from now on you must listen to me."

Liu Gou'er sneered and said: "You want to bribe me with one hundred thousand dollars, so you can stay and buy a coffin for yourself. I advise you not to waste your time anymore. People here only listen to Mr. Gao's orders. Mr. Gao is a man of real ability."

Yes, I can lead everyone to grab food, and I can lead everyone to annihilate the stick cavalry. The key is to be able to take everyone home. Forget about being a coward like you. No matter how much money I pay, no one will follow you to death."

Li Yi's face turned red with anger, and he wanted to touch the knife, but he found that several villagers nearby had gathered around him with cold eyes, all carrying weapons, and some of them had bows and arrows. Li Yi couldn't help but make a smart shot.

Han Shi did not dare to move any more, and General Heng Ha even threw away all the weapons on his body.

"Coward!" Liu Gou'er snorted contemptuously and walked away. The villagers also walked away, and no one paid any attention to Li Yi and the others.

Li Yi had been humiliated like this before, and today he was humiliated by a group of mud-legged people. He was so angry that he was so angry, but he was helpless. He felt a little bit frustrated like a "tiger" falling into Pingyang, and he said bitterly: "

When I get back to Sui Dynasty, if you look good, if I don't get my place back, I'll pronounce my name backwards... Hey, beauty?"

Li Yi was filled with anger just a second ago, but when he suddenly saw a slim young man walking by lightly, his eyes widened and he almost fell out of his eyes.

As the saying goes, in those ten years, sows also competed with Diao Chan. A big dude like Li Yi usually lived in Luoyang almost every day with wine ponds, meat forests, leaning on the red and green trees. This time he went to Korea with him, and he didn't touch it in the past six months.

He had been suffocating his hunger and thirst for a long time. He had managed to rob a Korean girl he liked in the town, but she was killed before he could vent his anger. Now he saw the even more beautiful Dou Xianniang.

, my mind was suddenly full of tadpoles, and I felt that this girl was like a fairy descending to earth, so I followed her subconsciously.

Dou Xianniang had just finished counting the number of captured war horses and was about to report to Gao Bufan. She was in a good mood, her steps were brisk, her smile was as bright as a flower, and her slender waist was twisting and turning, which almost twisted the soul of Li Yi.

Gone.

Dou Xianniang didn't notice Li Yi who was following behind her. She quickly walked up to Gao Bufan and said happily: "Brother Gao, we have captured forty-two horses."

Gao Bufan casually glanced behind Dou Xianniang and saw that there were only forty-two horses, which was much less than he expected. However, there was nothing he could do. Most of the horses fell into the swamp and could not be rescued by human power alone.

Only then did Dou Xianniang notice Li Yi, who was following him, and her pretty face suddenly darkened. The latter's expression and eyes made her very disgusted, and at the same time she felt a little wary.

As soon as Li saw Dou Xianniang walking up to Gao Bufan and feasting with her smile, like a bird, she was most likely a woman named Gao, he couldn't help but become even more jealous. Just as he was hesitating whether to step forward, he found that
