The bright moon has fallen, the rising sun has not risen in the east, and the darkness before dawn shrouds the earth. Pei Xingyan stood on the side of the road holding a bow and looked southward with a solemn expression. The thirty-four cavalry brothers behind him were also neatly dressed, with their bows and swords unsheathed.

Eager to try.

Several torches in the distance were getting closer and closer, but when he saw figures, swords and guns, and horses like dragons, Pei Xingyan recognized Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin at the front of the team at a glance. He immediately rode forward, clasped his fists and said, "Qin Qiong."

General, Brother Luo, long time no see."

Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin clasped their fists and returned the salute: "General Pei, it's been a long time."

As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. Although Luo Shixin was defeated by Pei Xingyan at the beginning, instead of having any bad feelings between the two, they became friendly friends. Maybe this is the so-called cherishing heroes and valuing heroes.

Luo Shixin admired Pei Xingyan's bravery and fearlessness, leading only a few dozen cavalry to hold back a thousand enemy cavalry, while Pei Xingyan admired Luo Shixin's ability at such a young age, especially his drive to move forward in battle.

It can be said that Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin are the same type of people with similar personalities and styles, so it is normal to appreciate them so much.

"Okay - Yan!"

At this time, a familiar and hearty voice came from behind the team. Pei Xingyan followed the sound and saw Gao Bufan, dressed in black and wearing a bunt, walking up leisurely while holding a big green horse, with the same familiar expression on his face.

Smiling, I feel extra friendly.

A flash of excitement flashed in Pei Xingyan's eyes, and he quickly dismounted his horse and stepped forward to greet him: "Chang Qing, I have been waiting for you. I thought you were in trouble."

"We share blessings and share hardships. If you don't fail me, how can I have the nerve to fail?" Gao Bufan said with a smile. The two people looked at each other, with a hint of warmth in their eyes. The friendship between men is there.

Not to the point.

"Brother Pei." Dou Xianniang greeted her with a sweet smile. Pei Xingyan let out a sigh and said, "How come Miss Liu has become more beautiful again? It must be because of Changqing's moisturizing day and night."

Dou Xianniang immediately blushed and said in embarrassment: "Brother Pei is talking nonsense again and I'm ignoring you." After saying that, she turned her pretty face aside, as if she was really angry.

Pei Xingyan quickly nodded and apologized, and Dou Xianniang turned her anger into joy and asked proudly: "Brother Pei, do you know how many war horses we have now?"

Pei Xingyan regarded Dou Xianniang as his adopted sister in his heart, and teasing this little fairy-like adopted sister was one of his pleasures in life. He pretended not to know: "How much? Two hundred or three hundred?"

"Almost six hundred horses." Dou Xianniang made the sign of six.

Pei Xingyan was "shocked" and said: "There are so many, Chang Qing, where did you get them? It's really shocking. Why don't you, Xian Niang, tell Brother Pei the story?"

Gao Bufan said with a smile: "Xingyan, your acting skills are too exaggerated. I don't believe you haven't asked Han Laoshi."

Dou Xianniang rolled her eyes at Pei Xingyan and snorted: "Brother Pei is so bad, he always makes fun of others."

Pei Xingyan said solemnly: "I'm telling the truth. Chang Qing, you actually killed a thousand cavalry troops. It's unbelievable. Why are you so tough?"

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "A tough life never needs explanation. By the way, stop talking nonsense. Have you figured out the situation of the pontoon?" Gu

Pei Xingyan almost fell over, but when it came to business, he immediately became serious and said solemnly: "The Goguryeo people built water fortresses on both sides of the pontoon bridge. There are about a hundred people defending the water fortress here, and there are also twenty boats of various sizes.

On the fifth bow, there are patrol boats on the river upstream and downstream of the pontoon at twelve o'clock. The situation on the other side of the river is unclear, but it must be similar, and there may be more defenders."

Gao Bufan frowned. Eulji Wende was leading an army of 50,000 to attack Huaiyuan Town on the other side of the Liao River, so the situation on the other side of the pontoon was the most critical. But it would be dawn soon, and there was no time to inquire about the situation on the other side.

Now I can only rush over in one go.

Gao Bufan raised his eyes and looked at the eastern horizon. He estimated that the sun would rise within half an hour, so he decisively ordered: "Go at full speed."

At Gao Bufan's order, the cavalrymen who were leading the horses immediately mounted their horses and galloped towards the pontoon bridge outside Liaodong City, while a group of infantrymen also followed suit. When they arrived at the foot of Liaodong City, the sky was already bright.

The defenders at the head of Liaodong City were awakened by the rumble of horse hooves, and they all stuck their heads out to watch. When they saw this sudden army, they were stunned for a moment, until the Sui army passed by the city like a tide and headed towards the river in the distance.

When they pounced on the floating bridge beside them, they realized, Oh my God, that was a Sui army!

Bang bang bang bang...

The rapid gong warning sound sounded immediately!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"The Sui army is coming!! The Sui army is coming!!"

The sound of gongs and shouts filled the sky, and the whole city was shaken instantly.

Liaodong City is located at the forefront of the Goguryeo border. In addition, it was surrounded and attacked by the Sui army a few months ago, so the soldiers and civilians in the city were very vigilant. As soon as the gong sounded, the troops defending the city quickly gathered. The remaining general Euljiqing

De hurriedly put on his clothes and climbed to the top of the city. He looked out of the city with the faint morning light on the horizon, and his expression suddenly changed: "Where did this Sui army come from? There are so many horses?"

Eulji Cheongdeok couldn't help but be frightened. He thought that his elder brother Eulji Mundeok had been defeated on the other side, and the Sui army was attacking across the river again. However, when he discovered that the target of this Sui army was the pontoon bridge, he realized

I made a mistake. This Sui army clearly came from the south and was preparing to seize the pontoon bridge to cross the river. It was most likely that they were the remnants of the Sui army scattered in the territory.

But the Sui army in front of us was large in number, with as many as five or six hundred cavalry. The soldiers were strong and the horses were strong, and they were murderous and surging like the tide. They didn't look like remnants at all!

Eulji Qingde and his soldiers were wondering at the top of the city, but the Sui army outside the city didn't even raise their heads, they just identified the location of the pontoon and rushed towards it.

The green mountains cannot stop it, it will flow eastward after all!!!

The Sui army, eager to return home, was like a raging wave heading out to sea. Even millions of mountains lying in front of them could not stop them from returning home.

"Kill!" More than 2,000 Sui soldiers shouted, with swords and guns at the ready, rushing like a flood, instantly destroying the water stronghold on the shore. More than 100 Goguryeo soldiers who were responsible for guarding the water stronghold also returned.

Before they had time to react, the water stronghold was breached, and the Sui army surged in and harvested them all like melons and vegetables.

The whole process lasted only a quarter of an hour, and the Sui army completely occupied the water stronghold and controlled all the ships at the bridge and in the water stronghold.

Eulji Qingde watched this terrible scene happen on the top of the city, with cold sweat on his forehead. There were only two thousand defenders in the city. Seeing how ferocious the Sui army was, how could he dare to send troops out of the city to stop it?
