After a big battle, the summer sun has already set in the west, leaving only the last rays of sunset, and the gusts of wind blowing through the south wind of the forest make the cavalry of the broken barracks who have just experienced a big battle feel very comfortable.

Chen Kefu looked the captive in front of him up and down, dressed in delicate armor and a white mink fur. If it weren't for this battlefield, I would even think that this was a noble family of the Great Sui, revealing a kind of aristocratic temperament from the Central Plains.

"I heard that you are a mattress, so you should also be able to understand practice. Now I will give you two paths to choose, one is that you repay the country with death, and I will fulfill you and give you a good time. The second choice is that you take Ben Jiang to open the gate of the new city, Ben will not only not kill you, but also protect you with a share of glory and wealth in front of my emperor, go to the Central Plains to be a real nobleman, and enjoy your life forever. ”

Gao Qi itself and the current Goguryeo king Gao Yuan are also the same ancestor, but in their generation, the blood relationship between the two has been far apart. Although he has the title of a royal family, he has no real power, otherwise he would not have been assigned to this new city on the border with Sui. But let him take refuge in the Great Sui, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, and his family was still in Pyongyang, once he surrendered to the Sui, then his family would definitely not be able to live.

Seeing that Gao Qi did not react for a long time, Chen Kefu pointed to the Goguryeo soldiers who had been ambushed and seriously injured and fell to the ground and had been screaming, Luo Lin immediately walked over with several soldiers like wolves and tigers, and cut off the heads of those soldiers with one person and one knife, and finally did not forget to throw the heads at Gao Qi's feet.

Looking at the lives that were still fresh not long ago, but at this moment, they have become dead heads thrown at his feet, Gao Qi's heart couldn't help but hesitate for a while.

"Since you have chosen to be loyal to your country, then I will fulfill you, Lorraine, and cut off his head, and exchange it for a few taels of gold." Chen Kefu waved his hand and said indifferently.

Luo Lin came over and kicked Gao Qi down, knocked off his helmet and pulled his hair to press him to the ground, facing the threat of death, Gao Qi struggled and shouted, "I am the Goguryeo royal family, you can't kill me, you have to escort me to the Sui Emperor." ”

Under the setting sun, Gao Qi's struggling figure was also long, but Chen Kefu was indifferent to his struggling shouts, and said disdainfully, "I'm sorry, we didn't know that your identity was the Goguryeo royal family." You'd better wait until the underworld goes to tell Hades about me, maybe he'll listen to you." ”

Luo Lin raised the scimitar in his hand, and deliberately made a few strokes on Gao Qi's neck, the cold steel knife slashed through his neck, and Gao Qi finally couldn't hold it anymore.

"I'm willing to surrender, I'm surrendered, don't kill me! Don't kill me! ”

Chen Kefu glanced at Luo Lin, Luo Lin picked him up and threw him aside, and Gao Qi's body, which had been hovering around on the edge of life and death, trembled freely. He is just a person who relied on his royal blood to become a mattress, and he is not the kind of Goguryeo general who can lick blood from the knife edge, when did he have this kind of experience.

"Since you are willing to surrender, then tell me in detail about the situation in Xincheng, how many soldiers are there in Xincheng, and which one is in charge?"

Gao Qi was already frightened, and at this time, facing the young general who seemed to be very kind, he didn't dare to be sloppy at all, and immediately told the situation in the city in detail. According to what he said, there were originally 20,000 people in the new city, 15,000 infantry, 5,000 cavalry, this time I heard that there were only 3,000 cavalry to attack the new city, Gao Qi only brought 10,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, and now there are 5,000 infantry and 4,000 cavalry in the city. However, although Xincheng had 20,000 soldiers, most of them were second-line troops composed of slaves and civilians, not those elite soldiers under Liaodong City who had fought with the Sui army several times.

Just when he asked about the situation in Xincheng, Li Benlei rushed over with two regiments of men and horses, and when he saw Chen Kefu's situation here, he hurriedly rushed up, "General, most of the Goguryeo over there have already surrendered, and only a few cavalry are still fighting, but it can be solved soon." I heard that the adults were chasing the generals of the Goguryeo people to this side, so I rushed here, so did the Goguryeo generals lead the way? ”

Chen Kefu pointed to Gao Qi, who was still lying on the ground and trembling, "I didn't run, just in front of your horse, and I am still a royal family." Oh, I've already thought of a plan, I'll change into Goguryeo clothes immediately, take this Goguryeo prince, and then pretend to be defeated and retreat, and open the city gate by fraud, so that the new city can be launched in one go. ”

Li Benlei participated in the two expeditions to Liao, and he used to see famous Goguryeo generals like Yiwen Zhide, but when he suddenly saw a Goguryeo prince lying in front of his horse like a frightened bird, he couldn't help but feel surprised, and even had some faint contempt in his heart.

"My lord, can he be trusted?"

"If he deceives us, he will die first, if he helps us take the new city, I will ensure that he will enjoy peace and preciousness in the next life in front of His Majesty, and be a rich man in my Great Sui, and he will choose one of the two." Chen Kefu sat on the horse and said indifferently, although his tone was flat, everyone could hear it, if Gao Qi really dared to deceive them, then Gao Qi would definitely be the first to die.

Soon everyone changed into the armor and banner of the Goguryeo people, but fortunately, the more than 10,000 troops of Goguryeo either died or surrendered, and there was nothing else, and there was really no shortage of armor and banners. After the costume change is completed, the last glimmer of light in the summer day is gone. A group of 600 people from three regiments embraced a small number of Goguryeo generals who were already willing to surrender to Sui, and headed towards the new city ten miles away.

Goguryeo's new city is a mountain city, and not only the new city is a mountain city, but most of the towns in Goguryeo are mountain cities. The Goguryeo people lived on agriculture, fishing and hunting, but the crop yield was not much, and most of them still relied on the mountains to eat the mountains, and gradually became a nomadic people who built cities on the mountains.

When the group arrived at the south gate of the new city with torches and embarrassed, Gao Qi did not do anything for the sake of national righteousness and disregarded his own life, he honestly followed Chen Kefu's previous orders, and shouted to the defenders at the head of the city with great authority, "Open the door quickly, I am Gao Qi!" ”

Rollin rode half a head behind Gao Qi, and at this time a dagger was against the back of his heart, and if Gao Qi was disobedient, then he would immediately take his life. The soldiers upstairs used the torches below to recognize at a glance that the remnants of the hundreds of soldiers below who had lost their armor were the army that had left the city in the morning, and said in surprise for a while, "Lord Wang, how can you be in such a situation." ”

A Goguryeo man next to Gao Qi who surrendered together shouted, "Don't open the city gate yet, be careful grandpa, I will behead your dog after entering the city." ”

The Goguryeo soldiers who were defending the city didn't think that their own prince under the city had already surrendered the Sui army, and when they heard the scolding of the generals under the city, they quickly put down the gondola and asked the other soldiers to quickly open the south gate, but they were also surprised by the own army below that lost their armor and abandoned their armor, didn't they say that the Sui army only had 3,000 people? It seems that the defeat is still your own army.

In the dark night, as the Goguryeo soldiers ran and were busy, the suspension bridge that was hoisted high was finally slowly lowered through the winch. And the closed south gate of the new city also made a creaking sound, opening up little by little, and the strong and difficult mountain city of the new city finally removed her defense little by little towards the broken military camp and opened its arms to them.

Brothers, vote, everyone worked hard to vote
