Chapter 472 The cooked duck flew away?
Being attacked from all sides in the open plains, and when the opponent had two thousand cavalry, even the most elite troops would probably be unable to withstand it. At least Gao Bufan didn't think he had such ability, so he decisively ordered all the soldiers to throw away
Carrying only three days' worth of dry food and carrying nothing unnecessary, we headed south at full speed.
Now Gao Bufan's only advantage is that he knows the enemy's encirclement plan in advance. If he can rush out before the enemy completes the encirclement, he can escape. Otherwise, the entire army may be annihilated.
All the soldiers clearly understood that the situation was critical, so they all used their strength to rush forward.
Gao Bufan rode the big green horse and led the way, while Bai Ying Wanli acted as a guide above his head, leading everyone to avoid the enemy troops surrounding them from all sides.
Although Bai Ying Wanli had been trained, he was just a beast after all. He just led Gao Bufan and others to a deserted place, not caring whether there was a road in this direction.
Fortunately, the terrain here is flat, surrounded by wheat fields, but there are no mountains or rivers blocking the way. People don't care so much and just trample through the wheat fields. Occasionally they can easily cross the canals used for irrigation, but
After all, the wheat fields full of wheat are more difficult to walk than the main road, so it has a certain impact on the speed of the march.
At this moment, about twenty miles away from the place where Gao Bufan and others rested just now, a cavalry force, numbering about two thousand, was galloping down the official road. The sound of their hooves was like thunder, and the sand was rolling under their feet.
I saw a flag flying high at the front of this cavalry, with two big characters "Wagang" embroidered on it with flying dragons and phoenixes, and next to it there was a general's flag with black characters on a red background, with a big "Li" character flying in the wind, and even
It's majestic!
Pushan Gong Li Mi!!!
Yes, it was none other than Pu Shanggong Li Mi who was leading this cavalry. He was leading the team at this time, with his confidant Wang Bodang on the left and Cai Jiande on the right. They were riding fast with majestic and murderous spirit.
I heard Cai Jiande riding his horse while laughing proudly and saying: "They say that Gao Changqing is a general who has descended to earth, but from my point of view, it is nothing more than that. Pu Shanggong just used a little trick and he fell into the trap.
."
Wang Bodang glanced at Li Mi, who still looked cautious, and reminded him coldly: "Cai Jiande, I advise you not to underestimate Gao Changqing, otherwise you will die in an ugly way."
Cai Jiande's face darkened, and he felt very unhappy. Just when he was about to retort, Li Mi shouted in a low voice: "Silence."
Cai Jiande had no choice but to swallow his words and said to himself: "I will catch up later and chop off Gao Changqing's head. Let's see if Wang Bodang has anything else to say."
Hey, the reason why Cai Jiande is so trusting is because he has never suffered a loss under Gao Bufan. Li Mi and Wang Bodang knew each other very well. When they assisted Yang Xuangan in the rebellion, Gao Bufan first sabotaged Li Mi's seizure of Zhuojun.
plan, and then ruined their good deeds in Liyang City and Linqing Pass, and finally directly smashed their conspiracy to seize the city at Hui'an Gate in Luoyang.
It can be said that the failure of Yang Xuangan's rebellion was at least half related to Gao Bufan, so Li Mi privately did not dare to underestimate Gao Bufan, even under the current circumstances, as long as he did not completely defeat Gao Bufan for a moment.
, Li Mi will maintain a cautious attitude.
For the cavalry, the twenty-mile journey took less than half an hour, so soon, Li Mi led two thousand cavalry to the place where Gao Bufan and others had rested. They found a large number of discarded items, and they were shocked and confused.
A scout who was scouting the road ahead came back on Pegasus and reported loudly: "Report to Monkey Pu, a large amount of fallen wheat was found five miles ahead. It seems that the Sui army did not take the official road, but marched through the wheat fields."
Li Mi's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly clamped the horse's belly and rushed forward. Sure enough, he found a newly stepped "wheat path" about five miles ahead. There were also a large number of horse hoof tracks and human footprints left in the wheat field.
Obviously, the army did not take the official road, but trampled directly through the wheat fields and headed due south.
"No, our plan has been discovered!" Li Mi blurted out.
Cai Jiande said in astonishment: "How can you see it?"
Wang Bodang couldn't help but said with disdain: "Sure enough, with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, if Gao didn't see through our plan, how could he suddenly stop chasing Wang Xuba? And he ignored the good official way and walked to the wheat field.
, do they have short legs? Or do they have copper-clad iron legs, and are they not afraid of being cut by the wheat awns?"
Cai Jiande couldn't help but blushed at the ridicule, but he didn't care to refute it at this time. He said in surprise: "There is no reason. How did the man named Gao see through our plan?"
Li Mi was also full of doubts at this moment. He really couldn't think of any flaw that Gao Bufan could see through in advance. Moreover, the direction Gao Bufan was walking in happened to completely avoid the other three people. Could it be that this kid had something wrong with him?
Isn’t the clairvoyance perfect?
Thinking of this, Li Mi subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the sky, summoned three scouts, and gave careful instructions: "You inform Wang Xuba, Dou Jiande and Gao Shida respectively that the Sui army is heading south, please ask them to carry out the attack."
The road will attack from both east and west, and the Sui army must be stopped. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to kill Gao Changqing in the future."
The three scouts immediately ran out after receiving the order!
Cai Jiande licked his lips and said: "It seems that Gao Changqing does have two brushes, Mr. Pushang, what should we do now?"
Li Midan said calmly: "Of course we will continue the pursuit. Fifty miles to the south is Jiaohe River. Gao Changqing does not have a ferry and cannot cross the river. Dou Jiande and Gao Shida are attacking from the upper and lower reaches of Jiaohe River. We will lead the cavalry in pursuit and Gao Changqing will definitely not be able to escape."
Upon hearing this, Cai Jiande said happily: "As long as you can't run away, when you catch up, I'll cut off this kid's head and present it to you, Mr. Pushan."
Wang Bodang sneered, and Cai Jiande said unhappily: "Wang Bodang, why are you sneering, looking down on me?"
Uncle Wang laughed and said, "It's not that I look down on you, it's just that I don't think highly of you. Gao Changqing can shoot a four-stone bow and escape from the assassination of the owner of Jinghuashui. I'm afraid your Cai Jiande's abilities are not enough."
Cai Jiande felt a little shuddered in his heart, but he felt very unhappy about being laughed at, so he retorted: "We are only half as good as each other. If I can't do it, how can you do it?"
Wang Bodang still wanted to fight, but Li Mi said impatiently: "Instead of bickering here, you might as well save your energy to catch up with Gao Changqing and take Gao Changqing's head." After saying this, he caught the horse's belly and chased him into the wheat field.
Wang Bodang and Cai Jiande glared at each other coldly, and at the same time they caught up with their horses and chased them forward. Immediately, the two thousand horsemen entered the wheat field like a tide and chased down the "wheat road".
At this time, an eagle suddenly screamed from above his head. Li Mi raised his head and glanced at the white flying eagle circling in the sky. He frowned, bent his bow and shot an arrow. Unfortunately, his bow power was obviously not strong enough, and the arrow was sharp.
A few meters below the flying eagle, it fell out of strength.
But even so, the white flying eagle was obviously frightened and flew away south with a loud cry.
Li Mi looked thoughtfully at the direction in which the white eagle disappeared, vaguely feeling that there was something strange about this white eagle.
