In the city of Pyongyang, Lai Hu'er is under the escort of hundreds of personal soldiers, along the avenue when he came, retreating sharply in the direction of the city gate, and in a place about a mile ahead, he took the lead with five hundred ironclad cavalry, and the brothers who came to the house also followed behind, each leading dozens of cavalry to follow, although it is getting farther and farther away from the palace city, and most of these people have not suffered much loss today, but the screams of those Sui soldiers who came with the wind before they died in battle made them creepy one by one, and cold sweat broke out on their backs, The fear of death and the shame of leaving one's comrades behind and running away tormented everyone's heart.

Lai Hu'er suddenly stopped his horse, his face sank, and he yelled at Cui Shiyuan, who had been running away after him: "The surname is Cui, did you deliberately lead our army into this encirclement?" ”

Cui Shiyuan cried with a sad face, waved his hand again and again, and said: "General, it is really wronged, how did the villain know that Gao Yuan would set up an ambush in this palace city, if it was a villain's spy, he would have fled just now, how could he stay and follow the general all the time?" The villain's courage and loyalty, but the sun and the moon! ”

Lai Hu'er hooked the corners of his mouth, on this way, he was very worried that there would be an ambush here in the houses on both sides, especially near the section of Miyagi, he was in a hurry when he came, and he had to check more in the future, but after running for so long, he was not attacked, which made his heart settle down a little, thinking that this Cui Shiyuan was also a low-level Fangzheng, and it was impossible to know the battle plan of the Goguryeo army, and he was afraid that he was probably wrong to blame him just now.

Lai Hu'er nodded and said: "Cui Fangzheng, you have a meritorious role in leading the way, and Ben Shuai knows it in his heart, and he will bring you back to Dasui in the future, be a good citizen, and you will follow the army." Don't get separated and fall into the hands of the Goguryeo, you know what the result will be. ”

After Lai Hu'er finished speaking, he continued to ride his horse forward, and the two thousand hoplites of the rear army were all facing the direction of Miyagi. Walking backwards, until they retreated to the avenue, they changed to a normal marching army column and hurried forward, and more than 4,000 pro-army horse infantry troops who came to protect the children pulled out a queue of four or five miles long on the avenue more than five zhang wide, and the rear army was still near Miyagi, and the cavalry at the front was already approaching the city gate.

After running for a while, Cui Shiyuan suddenly shouted: "General." The little ones have something important to report! ”

Lai Hu'er was slightly stunned, stopped the horse, he looked around, this is a crossroads, on both sides of the road, are quiet, there is no enemy army, he turned his head to look at Cui Shiyuan. He said in a deep voice, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Cui Shiyuan suddenly knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "General." Today, today is your time of death. ”

Lai Hu'er was slightly stunned, and before he could react, Cui Shiyuan raised his head suddenly, a fierce light appeared in his eyes, and he twitched his backhand. He drew a sharp sword from the waist of one of the personal guards beside him, and the whole person flew up, like a flying eagle in mid-air, and roared: "Go to death!" Qing Feng flashed and stabbed straight into the neck of the guard.

Although Lai Hu'er is a veteran of a hundred battles. But the elbow and armpit, and because this Cui Shiyuan was defenseless, he also relaxed his vigilance, this guy's obscene appearance of survival villain is even better disguised, so that Lai Hu'er is careless, and he can't imagine that he will actually take the sword to assassinate himself when he kneels, this sword is as fast as lightning, and Laihu'er's hand instinctively pressed on the hilt of the sword, but before the long sword was half drawn, the cold air from the tip of the sword had already penetrated the skin of his neck, how could he still have time to block?

Lai Hu'er turned his head in a hurry, and the instinctive reaction of wandering between life and death for many years saved his life, but this time, although he dodged the fatal position on his neck, he flashed his left shoulder in front of the tip of the sword, only to hear the sound of "plop" on the ground, and the sharp sword made of stainless steel pierced the bright light armor of Lai Hu'er, and pierced directly into Lai Hu'er's left shoulder, Lai Hu'er roared in pain, could no longer stabilize his body, turned over and fell off the horse, and with the long sword of Cui Shiyuan was withdrawn, the left shoulder was already bleeding!

The accompanying guards finally reacted, and the two of them rushed to Laihu'er's body desperately, covering their boss with their bodies, while the other dozen or so people drew their swords at their waists and slashed at Cui Shiyuan, Cui Shiyuan was going to step forward to assassinate Laihu'er again, but he was tripped up by those guards, and he couldn't chase and kill for a while, so he could only fight with those guards.

At the same time, with the assassination of Laihu'er, the Sui army fell into a small chaos, the soldiers only saw the commander riding on the big horse from a distance was stabbed off the horse with a sword, I don't know whether he is alive or dead, all are shocked, but at this moment, the doors and windows of the two rows of houses on the side of Goguryeo Street that were originally closed are almost in an instant, the doors and windows are wide open, bows and arrows and short lances keep flying out of the house, and there are many Goguryeo spearmen, directly holding spears, from the window to the Sui army on the street fiercely stabbed, for a while, people turned on their backs, Even the Sui army, which was protected by an ironclad shield, immediately shot hundreds of people and stabbed them, and the entire avenue was in chaos.

Cui Shiyuan's swordsmanship is extremely skillful, even if he comes to protect the child as one out of a hundred, as a personal guard in the army, more than a dozen beat him, but still can't win, his figure is like a ghost in the crowd flashing around, the sword in his hand, like lightning, never drag mud and water, a sword stabbed out, it must be a fatal point, and in the blink of an eye, five guards were stabbed to the ground by him, but he did not hit him with a sword.

Laihu'er had been helped by two guards to retreat to the corner of the road, leaning against a big tree and half-leaning, his hand pressed against the wound on his left shoulder, and the gushing blood kept coming out of his fingers, dyeing his robe and armor red, and his gray beard was beating with his difficult breathing, seeing that this ten-mile long street had become a battlefield, and this deadly assassin, less than ten steps in front of him, Laihu'er yelled: "Who are you!" ”

Cui Shiyuan laughed, and as he spoke, another sword pierced a Sui army guard who wanted to sneak attack him from behind: "I am the first swordsman of Goguryeo, the butler of Lord Ulji Wende, Cui Yuanhao is also, come to protect the child, after becoming a ghost, you must remember my name!" ”

As Cui Shiyuan spoke, another sword was swung out, and the two guards who stood in front of him fell weakly, and the Sui army behind them had already fallen into the melee with the Goguryeo army that was constantly rushing out of the houses on both sides, and they couldn't come to the rescue at all.

At the beginning, the two sergeants who guarded Laihu'er also drew their swords and stepped forward, but they couldn't fight, so they were killed by Cui Shiyuan, Cui Shiyuan's face was covered with blood, and the muscles on his fat face were beating, and he raised his long sword that kept dripping blood, and shouted: "Come to Hu'er, I will take your life for those Goguryeo soldiers who died under your hands!"
