Su Dingyue was in charge of leading the cavalry tonight and was on standby five miles away from the rear. When he saw the flames soaring into the sky in the distance, he knew that the plan was successful. He immediately ordered to raise the torch, pulled out the Thousand Ox Sword and waved it, and the fifty cavalrymen galloped with lightning speed.

Like to kill towards the enemy camp.

When Su Dingyue led the cavalry to attack, he found that the entire enemy camp had been engulfed in rolling flames, and the camp door had been opened wide. Hundreds of comrades were pouring in like a tide. Even the newly recruited government troops were extremely brave.

, howling and killing, the Goguryeo defenders retreated steadily.

Su Dingyue couldn't help but secretly gasped. At this moment, he finally realized the power of what Gao Bufan said not long ago, "Only with real swords can you eat meat." At this time, the newly arrived soldiers were holding back the urge to "eat meat."

The attack is not as fierce as usual.

The newcomers were all so brave. As the most powerful cavalry, they naturally couldn't lag behind. Su Dingyue clamped down on the horse's belly, and the fifty cavalry forcefully knocked down an almost burned fence, and then rushed in like a storm...

Although the Goguryeo defenders in the camp were numerically superior, their old nest was burned down, and they were so panicked that they still had the heart to fight. What's more, hundreds of Sui prisoners in prison fled in a hurry, and Gao Bufan and others were mixed in among the prisoners.

They were roaming and killing, so the defenders had no idea how many people had entered the camp from one side of the water stronghold, so they became even more panicked.

At this time, the Sui army outside the camp gate broke in again. Under attack from two sides, the entire army collapsed. Finally, they fled in all directions. Then Su Dingyue led fifty cavalry to charge in. The overall situation was decided!

The fierce battle lasted for more than half an hour. More than 900 defenders died, some fled, and some surrendered. Zheng Guangzhu, the deputy guard, had a lot of integrity and did not surrender until he died in the battle. This man is undoubtedly a respectable opponent. Gao

Bufan had someone bury him, and as for the corpses of the other defenders, they were all thrown into the still-burning fire and turned into ashes, which saved a lot of effort.

War has always been cruel. It is no wonder that people say that kindness cannot control soldiers. To survive in a life-and-death environment, you must have a heart of stone, otherwise you may be the next withered skeleton by the Wuding River.

There are a total of five granaries in the camp. Although the defenders have taken fire prevention measures and kept a distance of seven or eight meters between each granary and the surrounding buildings, the ash from the fire still ignited one of the granaries.

, during the fierce battle, no one had time to put out the fire, so hundreds of dan of food were all burned down, which made Dou Xian Niang stomp her feet in annoyance.

Gao Bufan was quite indifferent. After all, it was impossible to take away all the more than 100,000 kilograms of food. Burn it and burn it. It was just a waste.

While wiping the blood on the horse's trunk, Pei Xingyan strode up to Gao Bufan and said regretfully: "Chang Qing, I have interrogated those prisoners. This river is indeed a tributary of the Liao River. Just go down the river."

We can enter the Liao River, but it's a pity that there are no boats here. Otherwise, it would be easier for us to transport the grain directly back to Sui Dynasty."

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "How can we get all the good things, but... there should be a boat here."

Pei Xingyan nodded and said, "I thought so too. After asking, I found out that the food here is all transported by ship from Liaodong City. After the food ship is shipped, it goes back and will not stop here."

Gao Bufan suddenly said: "I see, so there must be a ship outside Liaodong City?"

Pei Xingyan shrugged and said, "There are more Goryeo soldiers there, maybe eight or nine thousand, if not ten thousand."

Gao Bufan said with a smile: "That's right. If we go to grab a boat outside Liaodong City, it's like stabbing a tiger in the butt with a dagger."

Pei Xingyan asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"——Looking for shit (to die)!"

Pei Xingyan couldn't help but burst into laughter. Gao Bufan patted Pei Xingyan on the shoulder and said, "So let's stick to the original plan and just cut down the wood and build the boat. Let Dadai quickly bring everything he can. I'm afraid there will be no time left for us."

Not too much."

Pei Xingyan nodded. This was a key supply area for the Goguryeo army. Now that it was taken away, it would be strange if the Goguryeo people didn't go crazy. The escaped defenders would soon come back with a large number of troops.

This camp originally held more than 300 prisoners of the Sui army. Naturally, all of them were taken in by Gao Bufan at this time, and the number of troops under his command increased again, reaching 730.

At this time, the most powerful weapon to win people's hearts is naturally food, and the most indispensable thing here is food. Even firewood is readily available, and it is convenient to get water from the river.

So Gao Bufan passed the order, and some people were responsible for packing food utensils and trying to bring everything that could be eaten and used. Some people directly opened fire to cook and reward the three armies. They could eat as much as they wanted. Anyway, there was too much food and it was impossible to eat them all.

Take it away, don't eat it for nothing.

In addition, Dou Xianniang also asked people to kill all the poultry and livestock that could be caught in the camp, except horses, for meat. As a result, Gao Bufan fulfilled his promise, and the new soldiers also got their wish.

The ground ate the meat.

This meal was simply a luxurious feast. Everyone had a full stomach. Some soldiers even shed tears of happiness. This was the most full meal they had eaten in months of exile, and they also ate meat.

It's delicious, it's refreshing, it can't be described in words. The most important thing is that they risked their lives to get this meal. The sense of accomplishment and pride is overwhelming, sweeping away the haze of losing a dog in the past few months, and re-establishing a new relationship.

Self-esteem and self-confidence, and regained a sense of honor as a soldier.

The more than 300 prisoners of Sui soldiers who had just been rescued were naturally not qualified to eat meat, but they were lucky enough to have a sip of broth and enough food. They were also so happy that they burst into tears. But when they saw people eating meat,

The other soldiers couldn't help but keep swallowing their saliva, their eyes full of envy.

Humanity's pursuit of a better life is endless. The more than 300 newly joined prisoners naturally also yearned to eat meat, so they soon learned from the meat-eating soldiers that only real swords can kill the enemy.

Only when you see blood can you be qualified to eat meat. This is the rule set by the "boss" Mr. Gao!

Liu Wuzhou looked at the soldiers who were proudly eating meat, and the "new soldiers" who looked at the soldiers eating meat with envy. He felt complicated and inexplicable. He was born in a wealthy family. He had been restless since he was a child, and he was also very thoughtful.

The people he befriended were from all walks of life, both black and white. The tribesmen were afraid that he would bring disaster to the family, so they did not want to see him. Even his brothers did not understand him and even humiliated him.

How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?

Liu Wu left his hometown in anger and joined the servant Yang Yichen. Due to his ability, he was selected as the captain of the corps, and was later promoted to the captain. Then he followed the servant Yang to conquer Korea. He thought he would have an opportunity to be proud of himself, but fate played a trick on him.

This Eastern Expedition failed miserably. Not only did he have no chance to perform meritoriously, he also became an abandoned soldier stranded in Goguryeo.

Liu Wuzhou met the brigade commander Zhou Shun when he was on the run and joined his army. He planned to replace Zhou Shun with his own ability and resourcefulness and raise a team loyal to him. Unexpectedly, before his plan could succeed, Zhou Shun was killed by Pei Xingyan.

After being slaughtered, Zhou Shun's team was also recruited by Gao Bufan, who used them to make wedding clothes for free, and even he himself became Gao Bufan's subordinate.

It's not that Liu Wuzhou didn't have the idea of ​​replacing Gao Bufan, but the difficulty was obviously many times more difficult than replacing Zhou Shun, because Gao Bufan's martial arts were unpredictable, many times stronger than Zhou Shun, and he had a fierce man like Pei Xingyan by his side.

If you fight, you will definitely be defeated, so you can only play tricks. But now Liu Wuzhou has discovered that Gao Bufan is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also full of wits. His tactics in fighting are very wild and cunning, and he can even win people's hearts.

A good player, now it seems that he may not be able to outsmart others in his tricks. Alas, it seems that he can only be his younger brother for the time being. Unless Gao Bufan is unlucky enough to die in battle one day, he will have the chance to become his younger brother.

Boss.

When the moon reached its zenith, everyone was full of wine and food, and all the food and supplies they could take away were packed up, waiting for Gao Bufan's order to be dispatched.

At this time, Liu Wuzhou came to Gao Bufan and said respectfully: "Master Gao, everything is ready and ready to go. What should we do with the prisoners?"

In this battle, more than 200 Goguryeo guards surrendered, and all of them became prisoners. Now they are tied up in a row and sitting on the ground. They are all trembling and looking at Gao Bufan in horror.

Although most of these Goguryeo soldiers did not understand Sui Mandarin, they recognized that the heroic young man in front of them was the leader of the Sui army and could decide their life or death with a single word.

Gao Bufan waved his hand and said calmly: "Let them all go."

Although killing is inevitable in war, unnecessary killing must be avoided. This is not the so-called Holy Mother's Heart, but the fundamental purpose of war is not to kill, but to win. Although the ruthless "Three Guangs Policy" can deter the enemy to a certain extent

, but it will also arouse the enemy's deep-seated hatred and unhesitating fight, which will ultimately bring losses to itself, or even a tragic defeat. Therefore, a smart army will choose to "treat prisoners preferentially".

"Okay, I will let him go now." Liu Wuzhou agreed respectfully, but he was snoring in his heart. It was obvious that in his opinion, this was simply a woman's kindness.

The prisoners were released and disappeared into the night. Gao Bufan and others also escorted the loot and evacuated overnight, rushing to the place where they were logging and making boats.

At dawn, the cavalry commander Liu Zaishang finally led two hundred cavalry to the supply point, but at this time the camp had been reduced to scorched earth, with only the embers that had not been completely extinguished left smoking, and one of the five granaries was burned down.

The remaining four buildings were all evacuated.

Liu Zaishang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. As soon as his throat became sweet, he spurted out a mouthful of old blood. He regretted that his intestines turned blue. He regretted that he had not listened to Liu Chengwu and annihilated Gao Bufan's Sui army as soon as possible. As a result, this army was so bold.

The Sui army turned around and took away its own supply point!

As one of the two commanders of this major siege, Liu Zaishang undoubtedly had an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, so he did not dare to neglect and immediately wrote a report and flew it to Liaodong City.

In Liaodong City, General Gao Jianwu was shocked when he received Liu Zaishang's flying report. The supply point guarded by 1,200 soldiers was actually taken by a remnant of the Sui army. The loss of nearly 100,000 kilograms of grain was really shocking.

Once the King of Goryeo is convicted, he, the general, will not be able to escape the blame.

This is not the key point. The most important thing is that this ridiculously powerful remnant of the Sui Army is still in the territory, which is threatening the security of the entire rear area. Moreover, the strength of this remnant of the Sui Army is obviously developing at a snowball speed.

It only took about ten days to grow from a few dozen people at the beginning to nearly a thousand people now. If it is allowed to grow further, the consequences will be disastrous.

Eulji Wende was attacking the Sui army's Huaiyuan town on the other side of the Liao River. If there was trouble in the rear at this time and the front line was defeated, he, Gao Jianwu, would definitely be blamed.

So, the more Gao Jianwu thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, and decided to lead his army in person to take care of this annoying remnant of the Sui army.

It is said that there were originally a total of 8,000 troops in Liaodong City. For this Qing Dynasty suppression operation along the Liao River, 4,000 troops have been dispatched, of which 2,000 are cavalry. In addition, 4,000 troops have been dispatched to Xincheng to cooperate. The total strength

It reached more than 8,000.

At this time, Gao Jianwu personally led two thousand people to leave Liaodong City, leaving only two thousand defenders in the entire Liaodong City.

However, Gao Jianwu was not worried. The walls of Liaodong City were high and thick, and there was a 50,000-strong army led by Eulji Wende in Huaiyuan Town across the river, so Liaodong City was not in danger of being lost.

Obviously, Gao Jianwu was determined to wipe out the remnants of the Sui army led by Gao Bufan this time to avoid future troubles!

Gao Bufan didn't know that he had alerted a big shot to come in person. He rushed on the road that night after leaving the stronghold. In order to distract the pursuers, he created suspicions along the way and set fire to several hills to conceal the whereabouts of the brigade. In addition,

Gao Bufan also asked Pei Xingyan to lead his cavalry in circles, leaving a large number of hoof tracks to mislead the pursuers.

On the afternoon of the third day, Gao Bufan and others finally arrived at the place where they were logging and making boats. Gao Bufan discovered that the Liaohe River turned into a large bay here. The water surface was wide but the flow was gentle. The best thing was that there were many trees within a few miles of the bay.

The dense trees formed a large forest with towering trees, making it a good place for logging and boating.

However, when Gao Bufan and others entered the forest, they found that there were already people lurking here, and there were more than one group. The largest group had as many as a thousand people, and there were two other groups, each numbering between three and four hundred.

On the left and right, each of these three groups has its own leader. They are not subordinate to each other and work on their own. Their accents are quite different. They should be Sui soldiers who came to different places.

It was lively now. Nearly three thousand people were crowded into the woods for miles around. Although everyone was a Sui army, they were all in a group. No one could care about anyone, but everyone was doing the same thing, that is

Cut down trees!
