"Shameless! Shameless, are the Tang people all a bunch of rats and dogs? ”

"Insidious and cunning Tang people, don't let grandpa catch you, or torture you to death......"

“……”

Three consecutive rounds of salvo fire not only messed up the Goguryeo army, but also directly killed nearly 500 people, and for a while, the entire camp resounded with angry roars.

Liu Renliang stood at the gate of the city with the cavalry, looking at the slowly closing gate, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer.

He knew that this was the case today, the enemy was not a fool, the same strategy could only be used once at most, and this time the enemy defenders on the opposite side would not rush over if they were not confident that they could entangle with them within a few breaths, but they underestimated the thickness of his Liu Renliang's face.

But this is enough, there are at least five hundred dead, hundreds of disabled, and they have almost no casualties, this is also enough for him Liu Renliang to be famous all over the world, well, it is best to be known by His Majesty the Emperor, and then it is best to raise the official position a little, this broken place at the pass is really not for people, it is too boring.

As Liu Renliang expected, Gao Yanshou, who finally gathered his soldiers and horses, retreated to a flat ground three miles away, and after counting the number of people, the whole person exploded, but he did not rush over to take revenge, but let people set up camp here, and informed the nearest Goguryeo foot soldier that this time, he would slaughter the entire pass.

The cold expression made the entire Goguryeo army show a cold and dead silence, and they numbly set up camps, lit bonfires, buried pots and cooked rice, and silently waited for the arrival of the follow-up army.

Half an hour later, the sky was completely covered in darkness, and the empty mountains and fields looked ghostly under the wash of night.

On a small road a few miles away from the pass, Li Kong hurried forward with a solemn face, and the spear in his hand trembled a little by his grip.

Behind him, thousands of cavalrymen had already taken out their long knives and leaned over their horses, ready to deal with possible enemies.

After moving for several miles, when they saw the head of the pass city, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Kong simply threw away the spear in his hand, turned over and jumped off the horse, and said, "Go to a few people, ask what the situation is!" ”

"Yes!" The two horsemen answered, and prepared to ride their horses and whip their whips.

But just as they were setting off, Li Kong suddenly said: "Dismount, disguise, don't let the defenders in the pass know your identity." ”

Although the two soldiers were puzzled, Li Kong was Li Shimin's personal general, and their group of soldiers loyal to the Tang Dynasty would not embarrass Li Kong, and simply carried out the order.

After the two soldiers left, Li Kong asked everyone to dismount and rest, and eat a little dry food to fill their stomachs.

Suddenly, a horse sneezed, and the sound was so loud in the silent wilds that everyone could not help but pause.

Li Kong frowned lightly and said, "Bring gauze to the horse!" ”

The adjutant general walked up to Li Kong with a hint of doubt, handed over the kettle in his hand, and said, "General, wouldn't it be a bit of a fuss to do this?" ”

"Just be prepared, if it was really Goguryeo's army that hit the pass, do you think they would retreat so easily? Now that it seems safe and sound, there is only one explanation, time has helped us a lot, but tomorrow at dawn, maybe there will be a big war, then...... We have something to do tonight, and we will tell the brothers below that we are ready to go on the expedition at any time, and of course, Ben will not want to have work tonight! ”

Li Kong's answer made the deputy general very helpless, but he had to admit that Li Kong's idea was right, silently glanced at the city wall in front of him, and shook his head gently.

Two quarters of an hour later, a figure rushed quickly and rushed directly in front of Li Kong, saying: "General Yu, it is indeed the soldiers of Goguryeo who have attacked, but they only have a few thousand cavalry, and after fighting the defenders of the pass once in the evening, and after losing hundreds of people, they are now stationed in the wild place three miles away on the opposite side, as if they are waiting for reinforcements. ”

"Cavalry? What a bunch of crazy people, how did they have that guts? The lieutenant was stunned by the soldier's words, there have been basically no successful examples of cavalry sieges since ancient times, and even once or twice, it was because the number of people besieging the city had reached a terrible level.

Thousands of cavalry attacking the city? This Goguryeo general was either a reckless man or a madman, and judging from the current situation, the latter is very likely.

Li Kong's brows also furrowed, and he got up and said, "Is there a path around here that can be bypassed?" ”

"Yes, but it's not a road, it's a wild road, which was stepped out by local hunters, but because it has never been cleaned up, so it's overgrown with thorns, and we can go there on foot, but it's more difficult to ride there." A soldier stood up and said in a loud voice.

Everyone looked for prestige, only to see a man in his twenties scratching his head with a little honesty, and said: "I am from here, I only went to Chang'an two years ago and entered the military camp, so I know the situation here quite well, but I haven't seen it for two years, and I don't know if the path is still there." ”

"Check it out!" Li Kong immediately made a decision and directly let the man lead the way.

The path is located a kilometer north of the pass, and it is a bit of a compliment to say that the hunter came out, but in fact it is a 'ravine' no more than fifty centimeters wide, with withered grass on both sides, and the height can even bury a big man alive.

"This is the place, you can directly bypass the pass, and there is a small village on the opposite side!"

"Lead the way ahead, everyone is on guard and ready to fight at any time!"

……

The bright moon in the sky seemed a little dim, the dim moonlight was surrounded by dense stars, the Goguryeo camp, Gao Yanshou was lying on a velvet blanket, and a bonfire was gathered next to him, and more than a dozen soldiers were busy there, pouring wine, making vegetables, and filling the fire.

In the seemingly leisurely atmosphere, Gao Yanshou's expression was not much relaxed, but became more and more dignified as time went by.

I don't know how long later, a pot of wine was drunk by him, his clear eyes became hazy, and his face became red from the campfire and alcohol.

At the same time, inside the pass, Liu Renliang's mood was much better than Gao Yanshou's, but he was still a little dignified, and in front of him, there was a soldier kneeling.

"You say someone is looking into this afternoon's fighting?"

"General Hui, that's exactly the case!"

"You go down first!" Liu Renliang waved his hand, leaning on the soft collapse, his eyes gradually narrowed.

After a while, he jumped down from the soft couch, grabbed the cloak and put it on, and shouted outside: "Adjutant General, take someone to the city wall with me!" ”
