Chapter 743: Kill

It was both unexpected and expected. Qingzhou soldiers were so close to the official road, but they were very safe. None of the Goguryeo army that passed by the official road thought that there was a large number of Tang troops hidden here. They were all in a hurry to Xiao Chang'an to see what the country had been destroyed. No one would pay attention to such a distance from the city.

Even if the Goguryeo people occasionally enter the forest, they are all solved by the Qingzhou soldiers! When the Qingzhou soldiers hide in the forest, they actually hide for almost ten days. The Goguryeo army passing through the official road had at least 20,000 people!

No matter how brave the Qingzhou soldiers are, they are quite afraid of their current situation. Not to mention other directions, in this direction alone, the Goguryeo soldiers who came here surpassed them. And in multiples, if the reinforcements from other directions are added up, it is probably more than 50,000. And this is the premise that the main force has not returned. If the wronged head comes back, then the matter will be very big. Nine thousand Qingzhou soldiers will easily be left in this foreign country!

It has arrived in a flash.

Xue Renyi came to find Wang Ping'an. He came to a big tree and looked up and said, "Prince, there is not enough food. The dry food has been eaten. You can't cook in the forest. If you wait any longer, your brothers will be savages, eat raw meat, drink blood and eat raw meat!"

Qingzhou soldiers hid in the forest. Of course, there were so many people who could not make fires and cook. It didn’t matter if they were not caused by fire. Anyway, they were not their own forests. They were afraid that they would be discovered by the Goguryeo people, so they had to rely on dry food to survive. But no matter how much dry food they brought, they couldn’t last long. Ten days have passed, which is the biggest limit. In fact, some soldiers and generals have been forced to eat raw meat. There are quite a few wild animals in the woods, but no matter how many beasts are or how big they are, they still have raw meat and will not grow cooked meat!

For safety reasons, Wang Ping'an lived in the tree and asked the guards to build him a small tree house where he lived.

After hearing Xue Renyi call him, Wang Ping'an stretched out his head and said, "Have you brothers ever been hunters before? If so, find them out and let them teach everyone the methods of cooking in the wild. Let's deal with it for a few more days. In terms of time, that innocent head should come back!"

Xue Renyi had no choice but to agree, but he asked again: "Prince, wouldn't it be bad if that injustice does not follow this path? We are in vain and cannot catch him, so it is impossible to escape to the riverside!"

"Don't say that this is unlucky, that evil head will definitely take this road!" Su Dingfang poked his head out of the hut on another tree. He said, "The prince has sent someone to leave clues long ago. Using the king who gave birth to a lot of children as bait will definitely lead the evil head on this road!"

Among the three, Xue Renyi was the youngest. After hearing the two adults, he could only bite the bullet and go to the generals to find hunters. He had to quickly solve the problem of eating, otherwise even if the generals could bear it, he would not be able to bear it first!

On the evening of the day, twenty miles from the big forest.

A team of Goguryeo cavalry ran desperately. They were the direct troops of Yuangasuwen and the vanguard army that rescued the army. When the cavalry was passing by a small village, suddenly the cry of children came from the village. The crying was loud and it was so far away in the night that the cavalry could hear it clearly!

The general who led the army immediately shouted: "Go to see if there are people in the village, do you know how the country is now, do you know where the king is?" He met many Goguryeo people along the way, and this question was asked repeatedly, but the answers they got were different, and there were all kinds of answers, but there was no good news. Some answers even said that His Majesty the King had been caught by the Tang army. Because the Tang army lacked military rations, the king was cooked and eaten!

This answer is really scary. The general was frightened. As long as there was someone, he would have to ask again. Nothing else, just to send a message to the later Jon Gassuwen. Jon Gassuwen had an order. All news, whether good or bad, must be reported to him as soon as possible.

A cavalry left the team and entered the small village, but the brigade still advanced. After a while, the cavalry came out of the small village, caught up with the brigade, and shouted: "General, I have received news from the king. I found a few clothes under the mark. It seems that the king had visited that small village!"

The general was overjoyed and immediately asked the army to stop advancing. He asked, "Is it the king's clothes? Come and see me."

The cavalry handed over the clothes found in their hands to the general. When the general took them, he saw that it was a torn dragon robe, a woman's clothes in palace clothes, and the other two were children's clothes.

The general said happily: "This is indeed the clothes of the king and the palace servants. It seems that the king has not been taken away. He has been here before. This is still far away from the capital. The Tang army will not come here!"

When Goguryeo soldiers heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that the king would be captured. If the king of Goguryeo was captured, it would be embarrassing to see that they were small, but their leader, Yoon Gassuwen, would lose his authority from now on. If Mo Lizhi, the great protector of the country, even the king, could anyone still be convinced in the future? Local forces must rebel. Goguryeo will be trapped in a civil war from then on!

The general looked at the surrounding land and said, "There are two roads here, one is a shortcut and the other is an official road. If the King had stayed here, then once the Tang army left, if he wanted to return to the capital, he would definitely walk the official road. Let's look for it from the official road. By the way, what did the people in the village say? Did the King go in which direction did the King go?"

The cavalry who went to explore the village replied: "There is no one in the village, there are blood everywhere. It is estimated that the villagers were killed by the defeated soldiers, but the house was not burned. At the door of a house at the entrance of the village, there was a dragon robe of the king, and other clothes were found on the ground in the yard!"

The general said oh, and then said angrily: "These damn defeated soldiers who can't defeat the Tang army will only harm the common people. Even the king suffered from them!"

He handed the clothes to the cavalry and said, "Go back and tell Da Molizhi about this, tell him not to take a shortcut, but to take the official road. Maybe he will meet the king halfway! As long as the king is not killed and the army is on the way, he will come out to meet him!"

The cavalry agreed and ran back and forth with their clothes. The general led the cavalry to continue his journey. He was unable to search and rescue the Treasure King. His mission was to return to the capital as soon as possible and appease the troops coming to aid the troops from all over the country.

The rear army.

Yuan Gai Suwen got the news. He took the Treasure King's clothes and looked carefully twice with the light of the torch. He looked at the children's clothes again. He was sure, and then said: "It seems that the Tang army has really retreated. First, it has been a little longer before their raid. Second, if they catch the king, they will definitely negotiate terms with me, but there is no news until now. Third, they like to burn houses the most. If they loot the village, they will burn all the houses and leave nothing behind!"

The cavalry who reported the news said: "Da Mo Lizhi, that small village is dozens of miles away from the country, and the Tang army would not go so far."

Yuan Gai Suwen nodded, thought for a while, and said, "The reinforcements in front must have searched that small village. Why didn't they find the king?"

The generals around him started talking nonsense, guessing, saying that it might be that the reinforcements ahead were running too fast, or that the soldiers and generals took advantage of the chaos to rob the people, and ended up robbing the king.

Yuan Gaisuwen thought it was reasonable. The troops who came to support in advance were all the troops of local city lords. These city lords were not the ones. Moreover, since the Treasure King was established by themselves, the city lords had no respect for the Treasure King. If they saw the Treasure King bringing wealth and beauty, they would be very likely to take advantage of the situation. Anyway, the trouble would be left to themselves. As long as they said they didn’t know and didn’t admit it, they would be fine!

Yuan Gai Suwen threw her clothes on the ground and said angrily: "It's really abominable. The king did not die at the hands of the Tang army, but was harmed by our own people from Goguryeo. These city lords are all traitors, unfaithful to me and unfaithful to Goguryeo. They must be thinking about how to establish a new king and resist me!"

He himself killed the monarch and usurped the government and became a powerful minister. He naturally thought that others could do what he had done. Those city lords, or a certain city lord, might have the same idea as he did back then, wanting to establish a new monarch and use the emperor to command the princes!

With a clamp of the war horse under his crotch, Yuan Gaisuwen said: "Don't stop, go back to the capital quickly, and defeat the city lords before they conspire!" He waved his whip and galloped first.

The Goguryeo army followed him and ran down the official road. Tens of thousands of troops were in front of them and infantry behind them. The team was stretched out, which was as long as more than ten miles!

The army was moving forward with amazing momentum, the sound of horse hooves was like raindrops, and the official road was filled with people shouting and neighing!

In the forest.

Ouyang Li quickly ran to the tree, raised his head and shouted, "Master, here, that injustice is coming. Just now, a team of cavalrymen came, and there were a thousand people, probably the vanguard. Now the Goguryeo army has come, with a large number of people, and it is estimated that at least fifty or sixty thousand people have all rushed here."

Wang Ping'an had heard the noise for a long time, but he didn't come down. He poked his head out of the tree house and said, "Where is the flag team, but it is in the middle of the army?" Very few generals of the leading army walked in front, and they were usually in the middle of the team, so even if the Goguryeo army came along the official road, there was no need to rush to attack. It would take at least two or three quarters of an hour before the central army could reach the forest.

But Ouyang Li said: "The flag team is not in the middle, but at the front. His subordinates also saw that there were generals wearing iron armor near the flag. I guess the wronged head is in it!"

Wang Ping'an whispered and laughed: "It seems that he is really anxious. He is actually leading the army in the front! He was careless and thought we had retreated long ago, but he didn't even have any sense of defense!"

Ouyang Li smiled and said, "Otherwise, why would he call him a ruthless head!"

Wang Ping'an climbed down from the tree and said, "Go and call General Xiao Xue, let's go to the forest to ambush!"

In a moment, the generals of the Qingzhou soldiers gathered together and rushed to Linbian with Wang Ping'an.

There are woods on both sides of the official road. A large group of Qingzhou soldiers lie on the left side of the official road, and a thousand archers on the right side of the official road. The ambush position of the archers should be further forward. When the enemy soldiers pass by, they must first pass the archer's position before they reach the real ambush site.

This is because when the enemy comes, they cannot shoot arrows together. Will they hurt their own people? Therefore, when the enemy arrives, the archers will shoot arrows first, and the enemy is suddenly attacked. If the dead are not mentioned, they will lie on the ground. It is impossible for the enemy soldiers who are not dead to turn their horses and run back, because the enemy behind them is rushing forward. When they turn around, they will collide with each other, and they will not be able to escape from danger. The only way to get rid of the attack of bows and arrows is to bite the bullet and rush forward, so that they can enter the real ambush.

The Qingzhou soldiers have calculated these factors in advance regarding the reactions of the Goguryeo army after the attack, as well as the distance and time of the sprint, so as to avoid errors.

As long as Goguryeo soldiers enter the ambush formation, I dare not say that there are too many more. At least one thousand to two thousand people in the team will be killed. In the range of thousands, Yoon Gassuwen will definitely be included. As long as Yoon Gassuwen dies, the Goguryeo soldiers will naturally be in chaos, and they cannot know the number of Tang troops. Their first reaction is shock, the second reaction is fear, and the third reaction is to escape!

Of course, it is best to catch the living, but you cannot pin your hopes on the fate of Yoon Gaisuwen, and you have to count the chance of his death!

Wang Ping'an is in the archers' formation. After the Goguryeo soldiers were attacked, it was impossible for him to come over with the rain of arrows, so although he is at the forefront, he is the safest!

Turning his head, Wang Ping'an said to Xue Renyi beside him: "Didn't you take Xue Rengui as an example? You want to become an archer like him. This opportunity is here. If you can shoot the wronged head to death, you are making great contributions. Maybe you will be ranked by archery in the future. You Xiao Xue can be ranked above Lao Xue!"

Xue Renyi was very excited and whispered: "That's great, I'm just looking forward to that day!"

While speaking, a large group of Goguryeo Army arrived. The one running in the front was indeed the handsome flag, but there was no written on the handsome flag, but there was a strange totem painted, which might be the symbol of the Yuangaisuwen family!

Under the banner, a group of generals galloped on horseback. These soldiers and generals were all wearing bright light armors, which were very gorgeous. However, these bright light armors were all in the same style. From the armor, they could not tell who was the biggest official!

Xue Renyi was stunned and looked at these Goguryeo generals and asked, "Which one is the wronged head? The one with the biggest head? But I can't tell who has the biggest head?"

Wang Ping'an had no choice but to say, "Photo shoot the flag bearer first, shoot the big flag down, Goguryeo soldiers will be in chaos. At that time, one can always shoot the wronged head to death!"

Xue Renyi nodded, pulled the bow and took the arrow, aiming at the flag bearer!

Yuan Gassuwen ran behind the flag bearer. He was an experienced person and was afraid of being assassinated by snipers, so he never wore special armor. Instead, he ordered his generals to dress like him so that outsiders could not tell him.

It is said that this trick was learned from "Records of the Grand Historian". At that time, Qin Shihuang used the same car to deceive the assassin, so that the assassin could not tell which car was the emperor.

While running, a roar suddenly sounded, and then the general who was holding the flag in front of him flipped off the war horse, and the flag fell to the ground, blocking Yuan Gassuvin's horse!

Yuan Gaisuvin's horse was suddenly frightened, stopped while running, and stood up!
Chapter completed!
