He didn't know when the bridge was broken by the boat, or how many soldiers had followed him into the crowd. From the moment he jumped into the water, he never looked back. Leave all your life's work and countless secrets behind.

A Goguryeo commander rushed over with a small group of cavalry, trying to disperse the last of the soldiers. Mai Tie couldne caught up, his hand rose and fell, and Goguryeo Qu Shuai scattered with his war horse. The remaining Goguryeo tried to avenge the general, and were chopped off their mounts by the government soldiers.

Someone brought in an inferior horse, and the wheat iron rod jumped on it, and continued to rush forward with a wave of the staff. Ying Yanglang followed Meng Jincha and the team of government soldiers closely behind the old general's horse, and as he had done for more than ten years, he personally blocked the arrows and drew his sword for the commander. Another group of Goguryeo people rushed up, and the generals led by them tried to use the speed of their horses to stab Mai Tie Staff off their mounts, but the long lance stabbed them, but they were caught sideways by Mai Tie Staff. Then, an iron rod swept across, sweeping the Goguryeo people into dust.

Blood spread around the horse like a mist, dyeing the old general's white hair red. It's been a long time since I've fought so happily, and I can't remember it clearly. He only remembered that he seemed to be sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was forced to become a thief, following the big boss to rob the house.

The big boss is a good man, and every time he steals something, he always divides it equally with everyone, and occasionally he will give a part of the loot to the poor people near the cottage. But the people still didn't like him, and when the government came to suppress him, the people who had received gifts led the officials and soldiers to copy the cottage from the path.

The great boss died in battle, and Mai Tiezhu remembered that he was captured, and then sacrificed as a slave to the emperor at that time by Ouyang Yan, the assassin of Guangzhou. At that moment, Mai Tiezhu finally realized that it was better to be a thief than an official. If you do an official and occasionally do good deeds, the people will be grateful. If a thief does a good deed every day, he will still be rejected by men.

Another group of Goguryeo soldiers surrounded them and were scattered by the iron rod. On the iron rod, I don't know how many people's blood has been stained, and the robe is also stained with blood. Mai Tie Staff laughed, using the staff as a gun, and kept stabbing forward. Each stab will bring one of the enemy to the ground. The team of more than 100 people he led was already close to Qian Shixiong, who was surrounded by enemies, and Qian Shixiong, whose silver armor had already turned bright red, saw the boss approaching him, smiled slightly, revealing his snow-white teeth.

His Majesty Emperor Da Chen liked the bravery of the wheat iron staff and made him an umbrella guard. Mai Tiezhu remembered that he did not like the errand of the royal guard, and every day when he left the palace, he ran a hundred miles away to rob the rich and help the poor. Later, this matter was exposed, but His Majesty the Emperor did not kill himself, but just let himself go home.

Another group of Goguryeo people surrounded him, and Mai Tiezhu felt a little tired. When you are old, you are often unable to do it. I remember when I was young, I never felt tired in front of the enemy. Even under the command of Yang Su, facing hundreds of thousands of troops, the mood was just as calm.

At that time, there were as many soldiers and horses of the Great Sui as there were Goguryeo people in front of them. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty surrendered one after another, but Mai Tiecane, who was already a civilian, joined the army and the Sui army, and he wanted to cut off Yang Su's head with his own hands to repay the kindness of His Majesty Emperor Da Chen. But before he could survive to get close to Yang Su's position, His Majesty the Emperor had already been captured, and then Da Chen surrendered.

"Nan Chen is dead, you can follow me in the future!" Mai Tiezhu clearly remembered every word that His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who is now the Emperor of the Great Sui, said after his conspiracy was exposed by the generals. He didn't care about his bad intentions, nor did he ask who else was behind the assassination, and with just one sentence, he erased all the memories of Nan Chen in his heart.

The enemy forces at the moment were suddenly scarce, and Mai Tiezhu saw that he had joined Qian Shixiong's team. He looked sideways at his subordinate Meng Jincha and found that the tiger general had at least five feather arrows stuck in the iron armor on his chest, but the long knife in his hand was still shiny.

"The bridge is broken!" The rod spoke again.

"Where did the marshal go?" Qian Shixiong slashed down a Goguryeo junior colonel who rushed up, and asked with a smile, as casually as if he was asking about the destination of the outing.

Mai Tiezhu pointed forward with his weapons, and the soldiers who were still able to stand raised their heads and saw the flag of the Goguryeo commander raised high on the mound in the distance.

"Zuo Wuwei!" Ying Yanglang shouted Meng Jincha and led a small group of soldiers to rush towards the enemy's main formation.

"Zuo Wuwei!" Qian Shixiong was unwilling to be subservient, and led another team of soldiers to rush in side with Meng Jincha.

"Zuo Wuwei, follow the old man!" The Lingnan accent of Mai Tiecane's yin and yang weird tone sounded high, and all the remnants who could stand up followed the commander and went straight to the heart of Goguryeo.

On both sides of the Liao River, everyone was stunned. No one could have predicted that a remnant army of less than 500 men would launch a decisive assault on an army of 40,000 without praying for surrender or survival. For a time, the Goguryeo battle flags fell crookedly, and on the other side of the Liao River, the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty, who had no pontoon bridge to cross, drew their swords at the same time and paid the highest respect to the robes on the other bank.

No one cared if this kind of action was suspicious of hairpins, not even His Majesty the Emperor himself. Ever since he saw the old general Mai Tiezhu jumping on the opposite bank, His Majesty Yang Guang, the Great Sui Emperor, had never stopped his hand. He swung the drum hammer like a madman, beating the cowhide war drum like a thunderbolt. At the same time, the snare drummer remembered his duty and followed the rhythm of His Majesty the Emperor to play a triumphant song for the warriors.

Amid the sound of thunder and drums, Mai Tiezhu, Qian Shixiong, Meng Jincha, and countless government soldiers whose names no one knew rushed into the Goguryeo army.

Under the gaze of millions of people, the old general's iron rod was rampant, and his hair fluttered.

After a few breaths, the drumming stopped abruptly. Yang Guang put down the drum hammer and tears fell like rain.

The first day of fighting ended with the beating of drums. Eleven generals above the fifth grade, including Zuo Wuwei's general Mai Tiezhu, Wu Benlang's general Qian Shixiong, and Yingyanglang's general Meng Jincha, were killed on the east bank of the Liao River. When the pontoon bridge was crashed, the three guards of Zuowu, Zuotun, and Zuo Yi were already trapped in the enemy position with more than 6,000 people who were crossing the river, and none of them survived.

Witnessing the martyrdom of the old general Mai Tiezhu, His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor was painful and angry. After collecting the troops and returning to the camp, he reviewed the responsibility for the defeat in the first battle, and ordered the guards to push the Ministry of Works, Shangshu Yuwen Kai, who was responsible for supervising the construction of the pontoon bridge, out of the camp gate and beheaded the public. Hundreds of civil and military officials interceded for Yuwen Kai, and the emperor was angry and relieved, and ordered Yuwen Kai to be reduced to the people, and He Chou, the squire of the Ministry of Works, temporarily took over his position.

It was night, and some people were in the barracks for a song out of the jam, and everyone who heard it wept.

"The emperor won't really kill Yuwen Kai's head, just make a show to appease the hearts of the soldiers. Who doesn't know that Yuwen Kai and Yu Wenshu are a family, and the strange things in the Pingsu Palace are all brought by their brothers! While having dinner, Li Wan'er sat next to Li Xu and muttered secretly.

His Majesty the Emperor did not allow the female dependents to go to the river to watch the battle, but Li Wan'er refused to listen to the order, and stole a set of small soldiers' clothes and mixed them in the food protection army. When Mai Tiezhu and others launched a decisive attack on the Goguryeo army, the little girl cried a mess. Thanks to the millions of troops crying at that time, people didn't realize the truth that it was a woman dressed as a man.

"The Goguryeo people are too insidious to want to get such a despicable method as setting fire to the ship downstream. No matter how strong the pontoon bridge is, it will not be hit. The things of the day are indeed not Yuwen Kai's responsibility! Li Xu looked at the bonfire in front of him and replied angrily. His nose is a bit blocked, and he speaks with a strong tail note. This was because he had a lot of tears in the afternoon, and although he had been with Mai Tiezhu and others for less than a month, he was very touched by the heartfelt care of the other party. Especially Wu Benlang's general Qian Shixiong, for Li Xu, this person can be described as a teacher and friend. Unexpectedly, in the first battle of Duliao, he lost this friend forever.

"It's not necessarily that the Koreans are insidious, with such a long stretch of the river, don't those guys in the military department know to send some people to the upper reaches to guard it?" Li Shimin angrily threw a piece of wood into the fire and cursed in a low voice.

Everyone looked at him, and no one took a stubble. The military department was just a decoration, and the plan to attack Liao was almost single-handedly undertaken by His Majesty the Emperor. If the responsibility for the burial of Mai Tiezhu and others is truly investigated, His Majesty the Emperor must first apologize to the souls of the deceased. Everyone knows these truths in their hearts, but no one has the courage to talk about them casually. For the sake of the Liao expedition, His Majesty the Emperor has successively condemned Geng Xun, the supervisor of the Right Shangfang Agency, and gave Xu Shanxin and Qin Tianjian Warlock Yu in the matter, and now, even Duan Wenzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is "sick" and does not speak, where do others still have the qualifications to "chew their tongues"?

"If I lead the troops, I will take advantage of the Goguryeo people's celebration tonight and secretly cross the river on a raft!" Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Li Shimin stood up, turned his head and walked away. He didn't like the current atmosphere in the grain army, since the troops returned to the camp in the afternoon, everyone had their heads in their heads, except for tears, no one thought about how to avenge General Mai.

"A bunch of wretched, if I were ......" The little guy held the knife at his waist in his hand, and his shawl was hunted by the night wind.
