Chapter 743: Killed

Both unexpected and expected. The Qingzhou soldiers were so close to the official road, but they were very safe, and none of the Goguryeo troops who passed through the official road thought that there were a large number of Tang troops hiding here, and they were all in a hurry to go to Xiaochang'an to see what the national capital had been destroyed, and no one would pay attention to the place so far away from the city.

Even if there were occasional Goguryeo people, or stragglers bravely entering the forest, they were all solved by the Qingzhou soldiers! The Qingzhou soldiers hid in the forest for almost ten days, and the Goguryeo army that passed from the official road was at least more than 20,000 people!

No matter how bold the Qingzhou soldiers are, they are quite afraid of their current situation. Not to mention other directions, just in this direction, the Goguryeo soldiers who rushed to surpass them, and calculated in multiples, if the reinforcements from other directions are also added, I am afraid that it will not exceed 50,000, and this is still under the premise that the main force does not come back, if the unjust head comes back, then the matter will be a big deal, and it is easy for all the 9,000 Qingzhou soldiers to be left in this foreign country!

It's the tenth day.

Xue Renyi came to find Wang Ping'an, he came to a big tree, looked up and said: "Prince, the food is not enough, the dry food has been eaten, and you can't cook in the forest, if you wait any longer, the brothers are afraid that they will be savages, and Ru Mao will drink blood and eat raw meat!" ”

The Qingzhou soldiers hid in the forest, of course it was impossible for so many people to make a fire to cook, it didn't matter if it caused a fire or not, anyway, it wasn't their own forest, they were afraid that they would be discovered by the Goguryeo people, so they had been living on dry food. No matter how much dry food you can bring, you can't last long. It's been ten days, this is already the biggest limit, in fact, some generals have been forced to eat raw meat, there are a lot of beasts in the woods, but no matter how many beasts there are, no matter how big they are, they will grow raw meat on their bodies, and they won't grow cooked meat!

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

Hearing Xue Renyi call him, Wang Ping'an stretched out his head and said, "Have the brothers ever been an Orion before?" If there is, find out, let them teach everyone the methods of cooking in the wild in the past, and deal with it for a few more days, in terms of time, that unjust head should also come back! ”

Xue Renyi had no choice but to agree, but he asked again: "Prince, wouldn't it be bad if that wronged head didn't take this path?" We are in ambush in vain, and we can't catch him, so it's impossible to escape to the river! ”

"Don't say this unlucky thing, that unjust head will definitely take this road!" Su Dingfang poked his head out of the hut on another tree. He said: "The prince has already sent someone to leave clues, and using the king who gave birth to a lot of children as bait, he will definitely lead the unjust head to this road!" ”

Among the three, Xue Renyi was the youngest, and after listening to the words of the two adults, he could only bite the bullet and go to the soldiers to find Orion, and he had to quickly solve the matter of eating, otherwise even if the soldiers and generals could stand it, he himself would not be able to stand it first!

In the evening of this day, twenty miles from the great forest.

A group of Goguryeo cavalry ran desperately, they were the direct troops of Yuangai Suwen, and they were the vanguard of the rescue army. When the cavalry was passing through a small village, suddenly the cry of a child was heard from inside the village, and the cry was loud and loud in the night, and the cavalry could hear it clearly!

The general who led the troops immediately shouted: "Go and see if there is anyone in that village, do you know what is going on in the national capital, do you know the whereabouts of the king?" He met a lot of Goguryeo people along the way, and this question was asked many times, but the answers he got were all different, there were all kinds of answers, but there was no good news, and even some of the answers even said that His Majesty the King had been captured by the Tang Army, and because the Tang Army lacked military rations, the king was boiled and eaten!

This kind of answer is really too scary, this general is frightened, as long as there is someone, he must ask again, if nothing else, just to report to Yuan Gai Suwen behind, Yuan Gai Suwen has an order, all news, whether good or bad, must be reported to him as soon as possible.

One of the cavalrymen left the group and entered the small village, but the brigade still advanced. After a short time, the cavalry came out of the small village, caught up with the brigade, and shouted: "General, I have received news from the king, and I have found a few clothes under the mark, it seems that the king has been to that small village!" ”

The general was overjoyed and immediately halted the advance of the army, and he asked, "Is it the king's garment?" Bring it to me. ”

The cavalry handed over the clothes they found in their hands to the general. The general took a look and saw that it was a torn dragon robe, a palace dress for women, and the other two were children's clothes.

The general said happily: "This is indeed the clothes of the king and the palace people, it seems that the king has not been arrested, he has been here, and this is far from the national capital, the Tang army will not come here!" ”

When the Goguryeo soldiers heard this, they were all relieved, they were afraid that the king would be captured, and if the king of Goguryeo was captured, it would be a small shame, but their leader Yuangai Suwen would lose his authority from now on, and if the protector of the country did not even protect the king, then who could obey him in the future, the local forces would have to rebel, and Goguryeo would fall into a civil war from now on!

The general looked at the surrounding terrain and said, "There are two roads here, one is a short road and the other is an official road. If the king had stayed here, then as soon as Tang Jun left, if he wanted to return to the capital, he would definitely take the official road, and we would have to find the past from the official road. By the way, what did the people in the village say, but did they say which direction the king was going? ”

The cavalry who went to explore the village replied: "There is no one in the village, there are blood stains everywhere, it is estimated that the villagers were killed by the rout, but the house was not burned, and at the door of a house at the head of the village hung the king's dragon robe, and other clothes were found on the ground in the courtyard!" ”

The general sighed, and then said hatefully: "These damn routs can't beat the Tang army, but they will only harm the common people, and even the king has suffered from them!" ”

He handed the clothes to the cavalryman and said, "Go back, tell Da Mo Lizhi about this, and ask him not to take a shortcut, or take the official road, maybe you can meet the king halfway!" As long as the king is not killed, and the army is on his way, he will come out to meet him. ”

The cavalry agreed, and ran back with his clothes, while the general continued to drive with the cavalry, he was not capable of searching for and rescuing the Treasure King, his task was to rush back to the capital as soon as possible and pacify the troops coming to help from all over the country.

Rear Army.

Yuan Gai Suwen got the news, he took the clothes of the treasure king, looked carefully twice by the light of the torches, and then looked at the children's clothes, and then he was sure, and then said: "It seems that the Tang army has really retreated, and it has been a little longer since their surprise attack; Second, if they had caught the king, they would have come to me to negotiate terms, but until now there has been no information. Thirdly, they like to burn houses the most, and if they loot the village, they will burn them all, and nothing will be left! ”

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 will not go so far." ”

Yuangai Suwen hummed, thought for a while, and said, "The reinforcements in front should have searched that small village, why didn't they find the king?" ”

The generals around him talked nonsense, speculating wildly, saying that it might be that the reinforcements in front of him were rushing too quickly, or the generals took advantage of the chaos to rob the people, and as a result, they robbed the king.

Yuangai Suwen thinks about it, the troops who came to support in advance are all the troops of the local city lords, these city lords are not things anymore, and because the treasure king is set up by himself, so the city lords have no respect for the treasure king, in case they see the treasure king with their wealth and beauties, it is very likely to take advantage of the fire to rob, anyway, the trouble will be left to themselves, they just need to say that they don't know, and if they don't admit it, it will be!

Yuangai Suwen threw his clothes to the ground and said angrily: "It's really hateful, the king did not die in the hands of the Tang army, but was harmed by our own people in Goguryeo." These city lords are all traitors, disloyal to me, disloyal to Goguryeo, they must be thinking about how to set up a new king and rebel against me! ”

He himself killed the monarch and usurped the government and became a powerful minister, and what he did himself, he naturally thought that others could do it, and those city lords, or a certain city lord, may have the same idea as he did back then, and want to set up a new monarch and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes!

With a crotch under the war horse, Yuan Gai Suwen said: "Don't stay, go back to Beijing quickly, and break them one by one before those city lords have conspired!" "Wave your whip and gallop first.

The Goguryeo army, following behind him, rushed down the official road, tens of thousands of troops, cavalry in front, infantry in the back, the team pulled away, it was more than ten miles long!

The march of the army was amazing, the sound of horses' hooves was like raindrops, and the official road was full of people shouting and neighing!

In the forest.

Ouyang Li hurriedly ran to the bottom of the tree, raised his head and shouted, "Master, here, that unjust head is here." Just now, a group of cavalry, with about 1,000 people, is estimated to be the vanguard, and now the Goguryeo army has come, and the number is extremely large, it is estimated that there are at least 50,000 or 60,000 people, all of whom have rushed here. ”

Wang Ping'an had already heard the noise, but he didn't come down, he poked his head out of the tree house and said, "Where is the flag team, but in the middle of the troops?" "Whoever leads the army, few of them are at the forefront, and they are generally in the middle of the ranks, so even if the Goguryeo army comes along the official road, there is no need to rush to attack, it will take at least two or three quarters of an hour for the Chinese army to reach the woods.

But Ouyang Li said: "The flag team is not in the middle, but it is at the front, and the subordinates also see that near the big flag, there are all generals wearing iron armor, and it is estimated that the head of the injustice is among them!" ”

Wang Ping'an sighed and said with a smile: "It seems that I am really in a hurry, and I actually led the army at the front!" I thought we had already retreated, and I didn't even have a sense of prevention! ”

Ouyang Li smiled: "Otherwise, how can he be called a wronged head!" ”

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

After a moment's effort, the generals of the Qingzhou soldiers gathered and followed Wang Ping'an to the edge of the forest.

Both sides of the official road are full of woods, and the Qingzhou soldiers of the brigade are ambushed on the left side of the official road, and on the right side of the official road are a thousand archers, the ambush position of the archers is further forward, and when the enemy soldiers pass by, they must first pass through the positions of the archers, and then they will reach the real ambush site.

This is because when the enemy comes, you can't shoot arrows from both sides together, because if you don't shoot them in pairs, you will hurt your own people. Therefore, when the enemy army arrives, the archers release the arrows first, and the enemy army is suddenly attacked, and the dead do not say that they lie down on the ground, and the enemy soldiers who are not dead cannot turn their horses and run back, because the enemy army behind them is rushing forward, and when they turn around, they will collide with each other, but they will not be able to get out of danger. The only way to get out of the bow attack is to rush forward so that you can enter the real ambush site.

The reaction of the Goguryeo army after being attacked, as well as the distance and time of the sprint, etc., were calculated in advance by the Qingzhou soldiers, and they tried to avoid mistakes.

As long as the Goguryeo soldiers enter the ambush array, they dare not say that at least one to two thousand people in the team will definitely be killed, and in the range of thousands of people, Yuangai Suwen will definitely be included. As long as Yuangai Suwen died, the Goguryeo soldiers would naturally be in chaos, and there was no way to know the number of Tang troops, their first reaction was shock, the second reaction was fear, and the third reaction was to flee!

Of course, it's best to catch him alive, but you can't pin your hopes on Yuan Gai Suwen's fate, you have to count the chance of him dying!

Wang Ping'an is in the formation of archers, and after the Goguryeo soldiers are attacked, it is impossible to kill them against the rain of arrows, so although he is at the forefront here, he is the safest!

Turning his head, Wang Ping'an said to Xue Renyi beside him: "Don't you take Xue Rengui as an example, you want to be a sharpshooter like him, this opportunity is here, if you can shoot the unjust head to death, it will be a great achievement, 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 looking forward to that day!" ”

While speaking, the brigade of the Goguryeo army arrived, and it was indeed the Shuai Qi that ran at the front, but there was no writing on the Shuai Banner, but a strange totem was drawn, which may be the symbol of the Yuangai Suwen family!

Under the banner, a group of generals galloped on horseback, and these generals were all wearing Mingguang armor, which was very gorgeous, but these Mingguang armor turned out to be all one style, and it was impossible to tell who was the biggest official from the armor!

Xue Renyi was dumbfounded, looked at these Goguryeo generals, and asked, "Which one is the unjust head?" Is it the one with the biggest head? Can't you see who has the biggest head? ”

Wang Ping'an had no choice but to say: "Shoot the flag first, shoot the flag down, the Goguryeo soldiers will be chaotic, and at that time, if you shoot indiscriminately, you can always shoot the head of the wronged!" ”

Xue Renyi hummed, pulled his bow and arrows, and aimed at the standard-bearer!

Yuangai Suwen ran behind the standard-bearer, he was an experienced man, and he was afraid of being assassinated by snipers, so he never wore special armor, but ordered his generals to dress the same as him, so that outsiders could not distinguish him.

It is said that this trick was learned from the Records of the Historians, when Qin Shi Huang used the same car to confuse the Assassins, so that the Assassins could not tell which car was the emperor.

While he was running, a sudden whistle sounded, and then the general holding the flag in front of him flipped off his horse, and the banner fell to the ground, blocking in front of Yuangai Suwen's horse!

Yuangai Suwen's war horse was suddenly frightened, stopped in the middle of running, and the man stood up!

Yuangai Suwen pounced loudly and was overturned to the ground, and countless horses' hooves behind him stepped on him...... It turns out that whether he will be assassinated or not has absolutely nothing to do with what kind of clothes he is wearing!

The king of Hades wants him to die on the third watch, who dares to keep him until the fifth watch!
