Chapter 733 Running for more than 100 miles

Wang Ping'an snorted and said: "These two thieves are small people, they can only play some tricks, they don't understand the actual situation now, so they exaggerate and want to scare us away!" ”

Goguryeo is now the main attack on Silla, and the large army must be Silla, which is absolutely not wrong, the small court of Goguryeo wants to fight a time difference, and unites Baekje to destroy Silla in one go, and after the battle in the east, it happens that the Tang soldiers in the west have also gathered in Yingju, and Goguryeo can send troops to fight in the west!

Su Dingfang said hesitantly: "The Goguryeo people are also too arrogant, thinking that if they were not destroyed in the previous Eastern Crusades, they would have the capital to confront my Tang Dynasty, which is really beyond their means!" ”

Xue Renyi sighed in hindsight and said, "The last general also understands, there must be no army in that little Chang'an's city now, otherwise these two guys won't blow and scare us." And that unjust cover or something, he should be a very good fighter, but now he must not be in the city, otherwise why mention him? ”

Wang Ping'an said loudly: "You want to scare us, did Lao Tzu grow up being scared?" It's good that they don't lie, but when they lie, they leak secrets! Come on, give the order to go down, the whole army hurry up and get off the boat, bury the pot to make food, eat enough and rest for a while, and then set off along the river north! ”

Xue Renyi agreed and immediately passed the order.

Su Dingfang said: "Why don't we let the fleet go north along this river to attract the attention of the Goguryeo people, thinking that we should still take a boat to attack them, the fleet is slow, so they think that there is enough time to prepare, relax their vigilance, and before they are ready, we will hit from the land!" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "Okay, just do it!" ”

A large number of Qingzhou soldiers kept coming down from the ship, and the war horses and grain and grass were also transported. The 10,000 soldiers, who had spent almost two hours just getting off the ship, had to cook and rest, and were so busy until it was almost dark that they were all ready.

During this period, the Qingzhou soldiers repelled several attacks by Goguryeo soldiers, and more and more Goguryeo troops came to the riverside to block them, and the last time they came to attack, the army reached 500 people, and it was an ironclad army. In terms of number and equipment, this is almost all the elite troops of local Goguryeo!

The last attack of Goguryeo ended in the annihilation of the whole army, Xue Renyi personally went into battle, shot the Goguryeo general who led the army with arrows, and the Qingzhou soldiers charged and killed all the Goguryeo soldiers!

It is a pity that the last group of Goguryeo soldiers did not surrender until the last person died in battle!

When it was dark, Wang Ping'an took the Qingzhou soldiers on the road, and he left a thousand soldiers, one to urge the boatmen with the army to go north along the river, and the other to take care of the baggage. Wang Ping'an was afraid that he would lose the battle, and when it was time to escape, if he boarded the ship but ran out of food and grass, he would not be able to escape back to Datang.

Nine thousand Qingzhou soldiers galloped along the river, galloping towards Xiaochang'an, who didn't know where it was.

Although they were all cavalry, the soldiers could endure the life at sea for many days, but the physical strength of the war horses was seriously damaged, and even some of the war horses were like people, and they were so vague that they could not run quickly.

In the first thirty miles, I couldn't see anything, and everything was going well, but after thirty miles, there were a large number of war horses that could no longer be ridden, so they could only be abandoned along the way, and the Qingzhou soldiers began to become one person and two horses!

The longer the run, the more severe this situation becomes. In the middle of the night, it was a road that had not been traveled, and it was impossible to march at the fastest speed, and there were constantly war horses being abandoned, which caused a large number of cavalry to become infantry. When running a hundred miles away, the loss of the war horse reached a terrifying seventy percent!

I don't know how far ahead, but this cavalry unit is about to lose its mobility and can't run!

Xue Renyi felt sorry for his army, he caught up with Wang Ping'an, and begged: "Prince, you can't run, take a break!" Now the war horses lost by our sons are terrifying, and just relying on people to run, even if they run to Xiaochang'an, they will be exhausted, how can they fight at that time, the Goguryeo people only need a counterattack, they can wipe out all of us, so in the end, should we fight them, or wait for them to annihilate us! ”

Wang Ping'an rode on the white dragon horse, if he wants to say that he is tired, who is not tired, he is also tired, and he has a terrible headache, but now he is a horse in the middle of the road, and he can't go back if he wants to!

Wang Ping'an said angrily: "Back then, when the first emperor was fighting in all directions, he chased the enemy for more than 200 miles in one night, chasing while fighting, and won the victory. We have only run a hundred miles, but now that the sky is about to dawn, even if we are far inferior to the first emperor, we can't fight while marching, but can't we just march? It's only been a hundred miles, and you have to give up? ”

Xue Renyi said with a bitter face: "But back then, the first emperor didn't take a boat for many days, cross the sea, and then go to chase the enemy!" As soon as our sons got off the boat, they were about to gallop, and even the horses couldn't stand it, let alone people? ”

Su Dingfang ran over, he heard Wang Ping'an scolding Xue Renyi, and also said: "General Xue, don't stop advancing now." Once we stand still, the morale of our army will immediately become low, and we will be in a dangerous situation, the enemy will be outnumbered, and if we lose our morale, then there will be a danger of annihilation. ”

Wang Ping'an said: "If we retreat without a fight and retreat to the ship, the Goguryeo people will immediately know the strength of our army and will send a naval army to pursue us." General Xiao Xue, you have to retreat on land, so let me ask you, when you get to the sea, our army is not familiar with naval warfare, do you think we are going to all die in battle? ”

He waved his horsewhip and said, "Retreat, there is only a dead end; Advance, not only has a glimmer of life, but also may be able to win, and we have a big battle, the Goguryeo soldiers will not dare to chase, and our army can calmly retreat. The truth in this must not be understood! ”

Su Dingfang shouted: "Follow the prince, forward, forward!" ”

Qingzhou soldiers have always been tenacious, known for their bravery, listening to Su Dingfang's shouting, they also shouted, some horses and horses shouted, and those who lost their horses also followed, shouting loudly, no one wanted to retreat back to the ship!

Xue Renyi thought to himself: "It seems that it is too uncomfortable to take a boat, brothers are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of taking a boat!" He also shouted: "Our gentlemen in Qingzhou, there is nothing to be afraid of, follow the prince, and do the gang of Goguryeo girls!" ”

"Fuck Goguryeo, fuck those guys!" The Qingzhou soldiers shouted, followed closely behind Wang Ping'an's horse, threw off their strides, and marched forward!

In one breath, he ran out of twenty miles. After a night of forced marching, no matter how strong the soldiers in this Qingzhou army are, there is always a moment when the physical strength reaches the limit, and at dawn, the darkest hour of the day, the whole army can no longer run, and there are more and more soldiers who fall behind, and in the end, there are only less than a thousand people who can keep up with Wang Ping'an!

Xue Renyi caught up again, this time he really cried out loud, and shouted: "Prince, please, the sons and daughters really can't run, and now there are too many people to be left behind, even if you rush to the city of Xiaochang'an, you can't fight, the soldiers are gone, who will fight!" ”

Wang Ping'an looked back, in the dark night, but he couldn't see anything clearly, he had the heart to continue to hurry, but Su Dingfang also came over to persuade him.

Su Dingfang said: "Prince, it is really not appropriate to move forward at this time, the little Chang'an does not know where it is, and it is not clear how far away it is, but our army is exhausted and can no longer fight, so let's take a rest, wait for the dawn, look for the village, catch some Goguryeo people, and let them lead the way!" ”

His combat experience far surpassed Wang Ping'an, and he naturally knew that he couldn't march anymore, but he also knew that the world-famous Qingzhou soldiers were not so fragile, even if they were too tired to march forcibly, they would not fall behind so much!

To put it bluntly, Wang Ping'an's prestige is not enough to completely control this Qingzhou army!

In history, there are many examples of long-distance raids, those who run farther than this, the conditions are more or less difficult than this, and those who cross the desert and run wildly on snowy nights are not worse than the current situation!

Why are Qingzhou soldiers unwilling to play with their lives? Why do you want people to play with their lives? Wang Ping'an's order? Who is Wang Ping'an? A world-famous little miracle doctor? But he is not a world-famous general, let alone the one who pays the Qingzhou soldiers!

If this is replaced by Wang Ping'an's Turkic soldiers, if anyone dares not to follow, Wang Ping'an's eyes are glared, what can't keep up is waste, what's the use of waste? All of them are cut! Let's see who dares to run wild without playing with their lives!

But if Wang Ping'an dares to cut off the head of any Qingzhou soldier now, it will be easy to cause a mutiny, and let the Qingzhou soldier cut him off first!

Wang Ping'an gasped and had no choice but to point to a black hill in front of him and said, "Go there to rest, let the brothers follow, and let's hurry again tomorrow!" ”

Xue Renyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for your understanding!" He quickly passed the order down and told the generals to rest at the foot of the hill.

Wang Ping'an had no choice but to go to the hill, and saw that there were many trees around the hill, so he got off his horse, found a big tree, sat under the tree, and was silent.

He was very anxious, this time he sent troops and crossed the sea to fight, which was simply the "masterpiece" of the bigwigs who played with *** in the court, and it belonged to one of the means of the eldest grandson Wuji to attack Li Ke, and he himself unfortunately became a victim.

Of course, for the bigwigs, Wang Ping'an will not really be "sacrificed", he can't be beaten, he can always escape back, even if he wants to die, he is still a dead soldier, and how many soldiers die, that's just a number on paper!

But what he was anxious about was that he actually arrived in Goguryeo, and he knew that there was a lack of defenders in the city, but he couldn't attack it seriously, and he didn't even find where Xiao Chang'an was, if it dragged on for two or three days, and when Goguryeo reinforcements arrived, then he would really have to board the ship and flee for his life, which would be a great shame that he could not wash away in his life!

I was deceived by the Baekje people, boarded the wrong land, found the wrong country, the other party was an empty city, and I didn't capture it...... If this matter is to be recorded in the history books, he has to become a big joke, and he will not have the face to be a man for the rest of his life!

Wang Ping'an sighed for a long time, his guards gathered around, and Ouyang Li whispered: "Master, don't worry, if the real thing can't be done, it's not difficult for us to leave." Our brother carried you and grabbed the boat to return to Datang, this is not difficult to do! ”

Wang Ping'an waved his hand and said: "I can't die, I knew this before I set out on the expedition, but the problem is embarrassing!" He shook his head, closed his eyes, and refused to speak again.

The Ouyang brothers didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so they had to surround him and protect him.

The Qingzhou soldiers kept gathering on the hill, and many soldiers complained loudly, dissatisfied with this rapid march, not only were the people tired, but even the horses ran away. Crossing the sea from afar, bringing so many horses, is it easy, as soon as I got ashore, I lost most of it, who can stand it!

Just as Su Dingfang expected, the Qingzhou soldiers were not so fragile. Since the Three Kingdoms era, this army has been a well-known strong soldier in the world, and now it is a strong early Tang Dynasty, neither a weak dynasty, nor a weak soldier, let them run wild all night and lose some war horses, what's the big deal?

But the generals were not happy, and Wang Ping'an did not promise any benefits, such as letting them burn and loot after entering the city. Who would want everyone to work hard to cross the sea and fight, but not get any tangible benefits? It's not about defending Qingzhou! It's okay to work hard, but you can't sell it all out!

dragged on, and when it was dawn, all the nine thousand Qingzhou soldiers rushed up. I have to say that a strong army is a strong army, although there are so many complaints and nonsense that there are no more, but as a fighting group, it still has not lost military discipline, and no soldiers have escaped from the battle...... Of course, there is nowhere to escape!

The east is white, the dawn has passed, and the day is dawn!

Wang Ping'an opened his eyes and said, "Anyway, it's already like this, why don't you rest for a while, let the brothers eat some dry food, and then we will hurry ......."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "He ***, what kind of mountain is this?" Brothers, look up and see what kind of mountain this is? ”

The man's voice was full of rage, and it was like a thunderous outburst!

Wang Ping'an felt strange in his heart, isn't it just a small mountain, what's so strange? He looked around and saw that the hill was surrounded by trees, which were not wild but artificially planted. He looked up at the hill again, and at this glance he jumped to his feet!

At the same time, countless Qingzhou soldiers also jumped up, scolded, and the crowd was excited, and many people drew out their big knives and scolded Goguryeo as if they were crazy!

I saw this hill, the bottom of the mountain was filled with stone and soil, and a stone tower was built on it, and among the stone bricks, there were countless skulls embedded in it!

Su Dingfang was by Wang Ping'an's side, the green tendons on his head were bulging, his eyes were red, and the big knife in his hand was also withdrawn, and he scolded: "These damn Goguryeo people actually used the head of my middle atomic brother to build a stone pagoda!" ”

The hill in front of the Qingzhou soldiers is a so-called pagoda built by the Goguryeo people with the corpses of the generals of the Sui Dynasty in the past to boast of their strength, which is the biggest humiliation to the Central Plains army!
