Chapter 54 Small Wind

As soon as the morning dawned, the reinforcements of Sashui City approached the city.

At this time, the city of Diyu has become an empty city. Except for the two Jingguan built outside the city, the entire city of Diyu has been reduced to ruins. At the top of a Beijing temple, there is the bloody head of Che Lihan. But the blood had turned into ice ridges, hanging on the beard, eyebrows, and cheeks...... In the early morning of the rising sun, there was a touch of blood, which was even more treacherous and terrifying.

Yi Zhisheng clutched the reins tightly, and his cheeks twitched.

Everyone can see that this Sashui military master, at this moment, is out of anger!

After thousands of calculations, it was never calculated that Zheng Yanqing would sneak attack Di Yu City to welcome the prisoners of war of the Sui army. He set up heavy guards along the Sashui coast, and cleared the wilderness with stronger walls, while scouting and riding out in all directions. Now, all kinds of decorations have become children's decorations. Yi Zhisheng felt that he had been slapped in the face, and he was slapped in the face. Presumably at this time, the soldiers and generals along the Sashui coast were gloating at his joke...... "Where did Sui Gou flee?" ”

Yi Zhisheng asked through gritted teeth.

"Qi Yu military master, according to the scouts, Sui Gou should have evacuated Di Yu City before dawn and retreated in the direction of Di Yu Ling."

"Give me chase!"

Yi Zhisheng roared sharply: "I don't believe that a group of remnants of the defeated army can hide in this deep mountain and old forest for how long!" Pass on my general order, order all the military villages along the Sashui to go out, search the mountains for me, I must find these Sui dogs, kill them all for me, and leave no one behind! ”

"Whoa!"

The herald hurriedly answered, and the horse was about to leave.

At this time, Yizhisheng suddenly shouted: "Slow! ”

The herald looked at him in surprise, and Otoshi closed his eyes, as if to calm the anger in his heart.

After a long time, he shouted, "Nasa water defense map comes." ”

Youhu immediately took the map and presented it to Echisheng. Etoji jumped off his horse, spread out a map on a stone by the side of the road, and watched in silence. The accompanying generals all looked at Yi Zhisheng suspiciously, wondering why he didn't pursue the Sui army, and what did he mean by looking at the map?

After another cup of tea, Etozhisheng stomped on his somewhat frozen feet.

"Gao Shelun!"

"The end will be."

A thin, short Goguryeo general stepped out of the crowd and intervened to salute Uljisheng.

"You take the soldiers and horses of your headquarters and pursue them along the route of Sui Gou's retreat...... It doesn't matter if you can't catch up, but you must make a move, our army is pursuing with the main force, do you understand? ”

Gao Shelun, the deputy general of the official worship soldier Cao, was the son of the nobles of the Goguryeo royal family.

He has always admired the Yizhi family. In particular, Yizhi Wende presided over the Battle of Sashui and defeated the Sui army, and was shocked by Gao Shelun.

Even, to the B branch of the student, the same respect.

"Understand, Admiral!"

Although he didn't know the intention of Etojisheng, he could generally understand Otojisheng's intentions.

Speaking of which, he is a suspicious army. Yi Zhisheng didn't expect him to cause too much trouble for the Sui army, but just asked him to maintain pressure on the Sui army.

Yizhisheng didn't explain much, and waved his hand to signal that Gao Shelun could act.

A general on the side couldn't help but ask curiously: "War master, why did you only let General Gao Shelun pursue alone?" I'm afraid that it will be difficult to eliminate the Sui dog. ”

"I didn't expect him to destroy Sui Dog."

Yi Zhisheng's gaze was still staring at the map, the corners of his mouth were slightly curled, and a sneer appeared on his face, "Zheng Yanqing, you are worthy of being a disciple of Changsun Sheng, every step of the way is amazing, it is simply impossible to figure out...... But this time, I'm going to make you fall short. ”

Then he shouted: "Order the three armies, quickly cross the Sashui, within two days, be sure to reach the small tuyere of the Wolf Forest Mountain." Whoever dares to delay the military plane will be killed, and the crime of the three clans will be punished. At the same time, he immediately sent someone to send a letter to King Gaojun, asking him to send troops to Motianling to flank the Sui Dog army. ”

***

Gaima Plateau, located in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.

To the north is the Yalu River, and to the east, west and south are surrounded by mountains, which are Motianling, Wolf Forest Mountain and Fighting Ridge. Here, it is also the only way to cross from Sashui to the north.

After Zheng Yanqing led his troops to evacuate Di Yu City, he wore the stars and the moon, and traveled in the mountains at night.

Behind him, there were constantly traces of chasing soldiers, so that Zheng Yanqing did not dare to hesitate for a moment. Although the troops and horses tried their best to march, the rugged mountain roads and the large number of wounded made it difficult to speed up the march. It was the coldest season of the year in Goguryeo, and walking in the mountains was full of dangers. Wounded soldiers were killed, and the roads were slippery enough that more than a dozen wagons fell into the cliffs.

When they walked out of Diyu Ridge, there were 14,500 people, and only about 1,000 people remained.

Fortunately, the food and grass I carried were sufficient, so I didn't have to worry about hunger. But this morale is extremely low. During the march, one by one was weak.

At dawn, Zheng Yanqing saw the winding Sa Shui Ferry.

This place is called Xiaofeng Nandu, and it is the only ferry port in Sashui adjacent to Di Yu Ling.

Because it is backed by Di Yu Ridge, and the location is remote, few people know about it, so it is not particularly tightly defended. According to the news from Zheng Hongyi, only a village of soldiers and horses was stationed on Xiaofeng Nandu. It was a cold winter, and the river was frozen. The ice is thick enough to withstand the passage of four or five wagons at the same time. From there, after passing the Sashui, not far to the north, is the small tuyere of the Wolf Forest Mountain. After entering the small tuyere, you can see the Yalu River through the Wolf Forest Mountain. At this time, the ice on the Yalu River is probably even more than the Sashui River...... Zheng Yanqing didn't dare to slack off, and immediately mobilized men and horses to prepare to attack Xiaofeng Nandu.

But soon, Tanma reported: "Xiaofeng Nandu is empty, and no trace of the Goguryeo military village has been found." ”

"Hongyi, didn't you say that Xiaofeng Nandu has a village of soldiers and horses?"

Zheng Hongyi scratched his head, also puzzled, "I did hear from the local people that there is a village of soldiers and horses guarding here. But when to evacuate, I don't know. ”

"Could it be that the Goguryeo people were strong and clear, and they were worried that a village of soldiers and horses would not be able to resist our attack, so they canceled it?"

Xie Ke couldn't help but speculate: "Recently, we attacked the Goguryeo army, but we caused them a lot of casualties. ”

Theoretically speaking, Xie Ke's explanation is not unacceptable.

But Zheng Yanqing always felt scared, and his eyelids kept jumping. There is a way that the left eye jumps wealth, and the right eye jumps disaster...... His right eye is jumping non-stop at the moment. Could it be that the Goguryeo people had already discovered his intentions? Impossible! The Goguryeo people, but they have been chasing behind.

"Mai Zizhong, first take the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to cross the river and investigate the situation."

With Zheng Yanqing's order, Mai Zizhong immediately agreed, and led the cavalry of his headquarters to pass through the river at a gallop. Soon, he came with the news that there was no trace of the Goguryeo people on the other side of the river, and that everything should be normal and that the army could pass quickly.

"Order Dou Xiaowen, lead the baggage vehicle, cross the river!"

There was still no movement......

Although Zheng Yanqing was uneasy in his heart, he had to send an arrow. It's got to this point, going back? I'm afraid it's a dead end.

Suo's surname was heartbroken, and he ordered the whole army to quickly cross south through Xiaofeng.

Fortunately, when the last group of men and horses crossed the Sasui, no anomalies were found.

"Order the three armies, quickly pass through the small tuyere and enter the Wolf Forest Mountain!"

Zheng Yanqing knows very well that time is of the essence. So he ordered the soldiers and horses to speed up the march and advance rapidly in the direction of the small wind outlet of the Wolf Forest Mountain.

Seeing it, it is getting closer and closer to the small tuyere.

The sense of uneasiness in Zheng Yanqing's heart became stronger and stronger.

From a distance, the ancient pines of the Wolf Forest Mountain are lush and unusually quiet. But it was this extraordinary quietness that made Zheng Yanqing always feel that something was wrong.

When the front was approaching the small tuyere, Zheng Yanqing suddenly ordered the three armies to stop advancing.

"Yanqing, why did you stop advancing?"

"Don't you think it's too quiet in the mountains and forests?"

Zheng Hongyi and the others looked at him in surprise, and asked with some puzzlement: "Isn't it good to be quiet?" Besides, it is now a cold winter, and everything is silent. Even if it's quieter, it's normal...... Yanqing, you are too suspicious, are there some grass and trees that are all soldiers? ”

Grass and trees are soldiers?

Zheng Yanqing was still hesitant.

But he also understands that at this time, there is not much time for him to think about it.

Although there are many people under his command, this heart is not aligned. How many people can obey him like Yuan Conghuwei? I'm afraid it's hard to explain. Everyone hasn't had a particularly strong reaction so far, I'm afraid it's because Zheng Yanqing saved them in Diyu City.

Can once ......

Zheng Yanqing gritted his teeth, "The three armies accelerated forward and quickly passed through the small tuyere!" ”

Before the words fell, I saw a few forest birds suddenly fluttering into the sky in the mountains. Yan Qing was stunned, his thoughts turned, as if something had suddenly been screened, and he screamed that it was not good. But before he could give the order to turn back, he heard a piercing sound of conch echoing in the air. Followed by shouts of killing, from behind and on both sides, countless Goguryeo soldiers and horses were killed.

Some people even shouted loudly in not very proficient Chinese: "Hugh is going to leave Zheng Yanqing, capture Zheng Yanqing alive, and reward ten thousand gold!" ”

In an instant, the Sui army was in chaos.

Teams, Goguryeo soldiers and horses, from the mountains and forests, from the valley to kill the generals, brandishing swords, guns, swords, halberds, shouting and pounced.

Zheng Yanqing was suddenly startled, and raised his eyes to watch.

form, so as not to allow him to think about it more, shouted loudly: "Rush forward, as long as you kill the small tuyere, you can escape."

Big black son, Ah Ling! ”

"The last general!"

"The two of you immediately assist Mai Zizhong and give me a bloody way to fight in Xiaofengkou, no matter what, you must ensure that the army passes through Xiaofengkou."

"Yes!"

Xiong Kuohai and Kan Ling didn't say a word, and urged the horse to rush towards the small wind outlet.

At this time, the Goguryeo people, who were all over the mountains, had approached. After a period of panic, the Sui army also knew that only by rushing forward could they have a chance of survival. So he waved his weapon and desperately pounced on the small tuyere. Zheng Yanqing took Shen Guang and Dou Xiaowen together to press the formation in the back to resist the impact of the Goguryeo people. Soon, the Sui army fell into a heavy encirclement, but fortunately, after two days of running-in, there was no large-scale rout. Some of the Sui soldiers lost their weapons and sat down on the ground to signify their surrender.

The Goguryeo people ignored these and rushed up with a wave of frenzied slashing, chopping those Sui troops who tried to surrender into pulp.

It is no wonder that Zheng Yanqing and these people killed heavily in Goguryeo, especially after the battle of Di Yucheng, Ulzhisheng ordered that regardless of whether to surrender or not, it was not matter whether to kill. This certainly made the Sui army's heart tremble, but to a large extent, it also made the Sui army understand that they had no way out.

The two sides fought together on the narrow passage, and the Sui army fought and retreated.

On the small tuyere, although there were Goguryeo people guarding it, under the crazy impact of the Sui army led by Mai Zizhong Xiong Kuohai and Kan Ling, they could not resist it soon.

As soon as the mountain pass was opened, the Sui army immediately retreated into the mountains.

Zheng Yanqing walked at the end, holding a lance in one hand and a whip in the other, the horse lance was churning, the silver whip was shining, and only the blood-stained robe was killed, and the corpses were all over the ground.

"Yanqing, retreat!"

Dou Xiaowen rushed into the mountain pass with the remaining two dozen baggage trucks, turned his head to look, but saw that Zheng Yanqing was still in the chaos.

He immediately turned the horse's head, twisted the spear on the horse, and came back from the killing. At the mountain pass, Shen Guang and Kan Ling struggled to overturn a carriage full of tung oil, and dozens of jars of tung oil flowed to the ground. The two shouted loudly, and the majestic sea was even more courageous, wielding a big axe, killing into the chaos, and killing a bloody road, and Zheng Yanqing and Dou Xiaowen gathered together, and the three of them fought their way out of the encirclement.

As soon as the three of them entered the mountain pass, Shen Guang immediately polished the fire fold, which was still in the tung oil.

In an instant, the flames soared into the sky, quickly blocking the small tuyere......

The Goguryeo people tried to catch up, but were blocked by fire. He was so angry that he was supervising the battle in the distance, and he jumped like thunder. In this situation, if you can't kill Zheng Yanqing, can it be said that this Zheng Yanqing is really protected by the gods? No, he must not be let go.

"Chase me, you must catch up with them!"

Yizhisheng hissed and roared: "Even if they go to heaven and earth, you can't let them go...... Pass my order, kill Zheng Yanqing, the official will be promoted to the third level, and the reward will be 10,000 taels ......"

At this moment, Etoji has gone completely crazy!
