"General, there is a dense forest not far ahead, do you want to pause?" A staff member said.

Yuan Taiqi looked at the dense forest in the distance and groaned, this dense forest is dozens of miles long, it is indeed a good place for ambush, but the scouts have searched several times, if you want to search on a large scale again, the delay is not short.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded "splash thorns, splash thorns", and the two scouts turned back from the front: "Report, general, everything is normal ahead, and no Sui army has been found." ”

"Okay, got it." Yuan Taiqi's face showed a faint hint of joy, and he still felt that it was good not to delay the time: "The pass book will order, continue to move forward!" ”

"The general has an order, move on. The general has an order and moves on. ”

The sound of squeaky axles sounded, and the entire grain transport team continued to move forward unsuspectingly, Yuan Taiqi still walked in front with his own soldiers, but the more he walked, the more he felt palpitations, and the dense forest in front seemed to hide thousands of fierce beasts, as long as they arrived, they would rush out and eat people.

Strange, the scout is obviously normal, why does this general feel that there is a murderous aura hidden in the dense forest, can the scouts still have something to miss in such a large dense forest, Yuan Taiqi shook his head, and secretly said that he is too allergic, as the younger brother of Mo Lizhi, not to mention that he has experienced a hundred battles, and has experienced dozens of wars, and now he is just betting on a grain, what is there to be afraid of.

Only a few hundred meters away from the dense forest, the scouts had not reported any problems, and although Yuan Taiqi felt more and more uneasy, he still did not order the food team to stop advancing.

Adjutant General Yifu Zhili suddenly shouted: "No, General, quickly order the grain team to stop and prepare to guard against enemy attacks?" ”

Yuan Taiqi was startled, raised his hand, signaled the grain cart to stop and move forward, and hurriedly asked Yifu Zhili: "What's the matter, what did you find?" ”

"General. Scouts, our scouts haven't returned for too long. ”

As soon as Yifu Zhili mentioned it, Yuan Taiqi immediately reacted, he scattered nearly two hundred scouts, and there was a team of scouts to report back every one tea time, but now it has been two tea times since the time for the scouts to return, and there must be ghosts in front.

"Back off, back off!"

"My lord, you can't retreat, you should be deployed on the spot. Otherwise, it's going to be a mess. Yifu Zhili hurriedly reminded that this grain transportation team had 20,000 stone of military rations alone, loaded into more than 1,000 carts, and lined up on the official road for more than three miles. If it is possible to deploy on the spot, if you want to retreat, it will take a lot of time just to pass the command.

"Yes, on the spot. Defend in place. Yuan Taiqi immediately realized that he had made a mistake in his busyness, corrected the order, and issued it with Yuan Taiqi's order. The whole grain team suddenly roared and neighed. Mess.

In the dense forest, Zhang Shou put down the telescope in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't expect the other party to find him at a critical moment, but there was not much frustration in his heart, and the difference was only hundreds of meters away. Even if the other party did not enter their own ambush circle. At this moment it is too late to arm.

"Give the order, and the whole army will attack. The target burns all of the opponent's grain carts, leaving them with not a single grain of grain. ”

"Yes, General." A personal soldier took a trumpet from his neck, blew it hard, and suddenly the fierce trumpet sounded, this trumpet sound was majestic and powerful, as if through a thousand years, came to the battlefield in front of him, compared to the drum, the trumpet is not only small, but the transmission of information is much more, such a copper product, it took several years for the Great Sui to develop.

As soon as the horn sounded, the whole dense forest came alive at once, countless Sui troops came out of the dense forest, stepped on horseback and rushed forward, the whole earth shook, seeing so many Sui troops appeared, those who were trying to gather the cart The people were scared, I don't know whether to flee or hide on the spot, for a while, the grain team was even more chaotic, many carts collided, and the grain loaded in the cart rolled down to the ground.

"Smack." The soldiers with corrupt qi whipped up indiscriminately, these guards of the cavalry are undoubtedly the elite of the Goguryeo people, although they are frightened, but they are not panicked, they are not afraid that they will not be able to defeat the Sui army, but they are afraid that the grain will be destroyed, if the military food is not saved, they will win the battle and it is useless, seeing the panicked scene of the people, they can't help but whip and scold: "Bastard, quickly fence the vehicles, fast horses and vehicles are fenced." ”

"Sons, now that my Dagao is at stake, if you don't stop them, there will be no military rations, and the army of Lord Mo Lizhi will collapse, without Mo Lizhi, I will destroy the country in Dagao, for Da Gao, kill!" Yuan Taiqi was not a complete mediocre general, and immediately adopted a counterattack strategy, taking the lead and intercepting the Sui army.

"Kill!" Goguryeo in the back saw the boss rushing up, and hurriedly shouted and followed behind, they also knew that if they didn't stop the Sui army, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The closest distance between the two sides was only a few hundred meters, and this distance was instantaneous for the cavalry, and after a while, the front troops of the two sides collided fiercely, and suddenly blood splattered, and the cavalry on the front line fell off their horses like ants, and in the blink of an eye they were trampled into flesh by the horses' hooves, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Although the Goguryeo cavalry desperately blocked and completely put life and death out of the way, but as more and more Sui cavalry came out in the forest, Goguryeo's thin defense line was still not enough to resist the Sui army's attack.

"It's not good, the Sui army is here, run away!" The people who were collecting the grain carts were terrified and shouted.

"Porphyry." The head of the man named Shout suddenly flew into the air, and a Goguryeo officer held a blood-dripping steel knife and shouted: "Whoever disrupts the army's heart will be killed!" All took up arms to protect the grain trucks. ”

Stunned for a moment, the people who wanted to escape hurriedly rushed to the cart transporting weapons, no matter what, it might be better to have weapons in their hands. "Kill!" Before they could be armed, the Sui army had already rushed into the grain team. The Sui army in full body armor raised its knives like demons, and in an instant, the heads were rolling, and the people who avoided it a little slower fell under a pool of blood, whether they had weapons in their hands or not, they had no power to resist in the face of the Sui army, a professional high-speed killing machine.

"Raise the fire, burn!" Seeing that many grain wagons were gathered together, the Sui cavalry led by them showed a hint of a smile, and Goguryeo's move was equivalent to facilitating their arson, although their original intention was to better protect the grain carts.

One by one, the torches lit up, and then threw them on the grain cart, the torches soon lit the sacks containing grain, and then burned the grain inside, making a whole crackling sound, and soon dozens of carts of grain were ignited, and the livestock pulling the cart felt the heat wave behind the buttocks, and suddenly realized the danger, and spread their hooves and ran, but the grain carts were densely gathered, colliding with each other from time to time, some of the burning sacks were scattered, but they were torn out the flames, and some of the burning hemp burned in other places were scattered on the grain carts that had not yet burned, Immediately the other grain carts were also set on fire.

Yuan Taiqi was under the protection of his own soldiers, desperately waved the long knife in his hand to the Sui army, there were at least four or five Sui soldiers who died in his hands, but the Sui army seemed to be endless, and the personal soldiers around him fell to the ground like ants, if it weren't for the desperate rescue of the personal soldiers, he would have been stabbed into a hole.

"General, no, the grain cart behind us has been burned." Yuan Taiqi was shocked, and hurriedly looked behind him, only to see thick smoke billowing behind him, the fire was burning more and more, and even his eyes felt a wave of heat.

"Kill back, put out the fire." Yuan Taiqi couldn't care about stopping the Sui army anymore, and turned his horse's head to go to the rear, but he was already trapped in the Sui army, although he couldn't advance, it was also extremely difficult to retreat, so anxious that Yuan Taiqi almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

Yifo Zhili rushed back with a team of cavalry, desperately fighting the flames, but the water and fire were ruthless, where was the lit grain cart so easy to extinguish, but forced the soldiers to retreat again and again, Yi Buddha Zhili had no choice, just ordered to abandon the burning grain cart, and try to disperse the rest of the grain carts.

Another group of Sui cavalry broke through the interception and rushed towards the grain cart, they killed the people who scattered the grain, and also immediately set fire, and the Yifo branch could only cry out in vain.

Seeing that the grain cart behind was on fire, the Goguryeo cavalry who were fighting all panicked and retreated to fight the fire, but they did not have an advantage, this retreat, the Sui army took advantage of the situation to chase, and the Goguryeo cavalry fell off their horses and died.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The Goguryeo cavalry was becoming less and less, and the Sui army had stopped setting fires and focused on exterminating the remaining Goguryeo cavalry.

When Yuan Taiqi finally broke out of the encirclement of the Sui army, he saw the sky-high fire on the grain cart, and couldn't help muttering: "It's over, it's over......"

"General, our army is defeated, what should we do?" A pro-soldier reminded.

"What?" Yuan Taiqi hurriedly looked at the battlefield, this look made Yuan Taiqi even more shocked and almost lost his soul, the entire dense forest was red, his subordinates had been divided into several pieces by the Sui army, drowning in red, the Sui army's strength far exceeded his subordinates.

"That's it, that's it, the military rations are lost, and another defeat, what face does this general have to go to see his brother?" With a choking sound, Yuan Taiqi pulled out his long sword and wiped it around his neck, he committed suicide so resolutely that his own soldiers were caught off guard, and he could only watch his body fall to the ground.
