Two days ago, Wei Qiutai had already led a large army to a place ten miles away from Nanshui to set up camp, and every morning, he would lead his guards up the nearby mountains to look at the Han army's camp from afar. He found a very interesting thing in the Han army camp, every morning, the cooking smoke in the camp would be thinner than the previous day, and the cooking smoke was shorter, which showed that the Han army had indeed defected.

Wei Qiutai is a thoughtful person, although he has seen the changes in the Han army's camp with his own eyes, he refuses to believe it easily, after all, the bloody lesson of the king of Dongchuan is in front of him, and he has to have an extra mind to guard against what tricks the Han army plays. It wasn't until early this morning that Wei Yan stepped over the ice with anger to surrender, which deepened the affirmation in Wei Qiutai's heart, and he decided to interrogate Wei Yan well, if Wei Yan could explain the doubts in his heart, he would be willing to completely believe what he saw.

Inside the big tent of Wei Qiutai, Wei Yan stood proudly in the center, looking at Wei Qiutai without squinting. Wei Qiutai stared at Wei Yan for a long time, but he couldn't see any flaws on Wei Yan's face, and then he asked leisurely, "Who are you?" ”

Wei Yan replied brightly: "Wei Yan, the general of the Great Han Cavalry." ”

Wei Qiutai sneered and said teasingly: "That is, the general of the Han Dynasty, what did he do in the king's tent?" ”

A trace of resentment flashed on Wei Yan's face, and he raised his voice and said: "Champion Hou Ao Lie, the rewards and punishments are unknown, and a certain bluntly told him, but he has repeatedly turned a deaf ear, and angrily reprimanded Yu Suo, and a certain person is not angry in his heart, so he came to offer advice to the king and jointly defeat Ao Lie's department." After the matter was completed, except for Ao Lie, the rest of the Han army surrendered and had to be handed over to someone to deal with. ”

Wei Yan's words attracted Wei Qiutai's attention, and he asked, "What do you want those soldiers to do?" ”

Wei Yan replied: "The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, and he should accomplish a great cause. There were 20,000 troops on the edge of the water. Although some have defected in the past few days, there are still six or seven thousand people left, if you can get these people, you can wave your troops south and occupy Goguryeo in your hands. ”

After listening to Wei Yan's explanation, Wei Qiutai suddenly realized in his heart. It turned out that Wei Yan wanted to incorporate the Han army and surrender his pawns. Then he conquered Goguryeo and established himself as king. Wei Yan's prestige, Wei Qiutai has also heard of it, and he knows that Wei Yan is a rare general in the Han army, and even the Wuhuan Cliff King was killed on the battlefield by him. Thinking about it, a person like Xiang Wei Yan must not be willing to live under others for a long time, and it is reasonable to want to establish himself as a king, not to mention. Ao Lie was angry with Wei Yan because of the defection of the sergeant, and repeatedly reprimanded Wei Yan, but Wei Yan can endure it to this day. It has exceeded Wei Qiutai's expectations. Wei Yan was loudly reprimanded by Ao Lie every morning, and the spies lurking near the Han army had already reported it to Wei Qiutai.

Then, Wei Qiutai asked another question in his heart: "Ao Lie is known as the little overlord and has experienced a hundred battles. The battle was invincible, since the Han army had already appeared a large number of deserters, why did Ao Lie insist on camping on the opposite side of the difficult water and refuse to retreat? ”

"It's because of the experience of being invincible. Now Ao Lie has become arrogant and arrogant, and he is completely gone. There are two reasons why he refused to withdraw from the army, one is that he wants to emulate the actions of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu; Second, Zhang Xiu, who is now entrenched in Goguryeo, is Ao Lie's junior brother, and it is believed that Zhang Xiu will soon send people to support Ao Lie. After Zhang Xiu sent troops, Goguryeo was bound to be empty, which was another reason why a certain wanted to defeat Goguryeo. Wei Yan replied calmly.

With a sinister smile, Wei Qiutai said: "Wei Yan, although your abacus is very good, what benefits can this king get from it?" Nothing good will be done by this king. At this point, Wei Qiutai has believed Wei Yan's words, and believes that the Han army has indeed defected in large numbers, the reason why he said this is nothing more than to maximize the benefits, in this joint effort, Wei Qiutai occupies the initiative, Wei Yan only has more than 30 personal soldiers to follow, is not to let Wei Qiutai put forward conditions?

Wei Yan was stunned when he heard this, thought for a moment, and said: "In this battle, a certain person is willing to be the vanguard and take the lead in the Han military camp. A certain person knew the layout of the Han army camp well, and at that time, a certain place set fire to the Han army's grain and grass, creating chaos. Create a fighter for the king's army. In addition, after the matter is completed, when so-and-so takes Goguryeo, so-and-so first gives the king ten thousand taels of gold as a gift of gratitude, how about it? ”

Waiting for you to take Goguryeo? Dream on, after using you to defeat Ao Yeol, this king will immediately wave his troops south and take Goguryeo for himself, is there anything else to do with you? Wei Qiutai thought viciously in his heart. However, Wei Qiutai did not show anything abnormal on the surface, and after pretending to think for a while, he slowly spit out two words: "Deal!" ”

An hour later, all the 50,000 horses brought by Wei Qiutai were assembled, divided into five queues, and just waiting for Wei Qiutai's order, they would step on the ice in batches, cross the difficult water, and attack the Ao Lie military camp opposite the difficult water. Wei Qiutai stood at the front of the queue, looked at Wei Yan beside him, and said slowly: "General Wei, can you start?" ”

Wei Yan took a deep breath, clenched the big knife in his hand hard, turned back to Wei Qiutai and said, "King, just see the fire in the Han military camp, quickly raise troops to meet so-and-so." After speaking, without waiting for Wei Qiutai to reply, Wei Yan rushed out of Lu first, and more than 30 personal soldiers followed him, stepping on the difficult ice and rushing towards the Han army camp.

As the king of Buyeo, Wei Qiutai is naturally familiar with the situation of difficult water. In the middle of the difficult water, the water flow is gentle, the water is very deep, every winter, under the cold effect of the weather, the difficult water will form a thick ice, which can be used by 10,000 people to cross the river, if the distance is calculated, it can even make two 10,000 people a few zhang apart, one after the other at the same time, so that the 50,000 troops under the subordinates can cross the river as soon as possible, plus Wei Yan's internal response, work together to encircle and suppress the Han army of less than 10,000 people under Ao Lie's department, Wei Qiutai seems to have seen the dawn of victory, in his opinion, no matter how brave the little overlord is, It is impossible to resist an army of 50,000 with the strength of one person.

It didn't take long for Wei Yan's figure to enter the Han army camp, and immediately, black smoke rose from the Han army camp, which was only a few wisps at first, and it didn't take long for the entire camp to be ignited by Wei Yan. Bursts of shouts and shouts for fire came from the Han army camp.

Wei Qiutai, who was on the other side of Nanshui, listened attentively for a while, carefully distinguishing the various sounds coming from the Han army camp, the noisy sound was divided into two streams, and one or two voices were often mixed with one or two of Wei Yan's majestic roars; The other, even more noisy, was the chaotic call for fire, and according to the volume, there were probably more than 5,000 people shouting.

It seems that what Wei Yan said is true, there are indeed only a few thousand people left in the Han military camp, and most of the rest have fled. Otherwise, in the face of the chaos in front of us, it is impossible to have only the cries of thousands of people. As soon as he thought of this, Wei Qiutai no longer hesitated, waved his hand behind him, and gave an order loudly: "Cross the river!" Annihilate the Han army! "Wei Qiutai is not a person who abides by faith, he will never leave the Han army's surrender to Wei Yan, and let Wei Yan have his own power, which is not in line with his own interests.

The first 10,000-strong cavalry quickly moved into action, flapping their horses and rushing onto the ice, heading towards the Han camp. When the first group of cavalry reached the center of the difficult water, the second group of 10,000 cavalry also began to move, followed behind the first group of cavalry, and stepped on the ice.

When the first team of cavalry roared across the ice and landed on the land on the opposite bank, Wei Qiutai completely let down the guard in his heart, and with this 10,000-strong cavalry team to play the vanguard, he could be regarded as gaining a firm foothold on the opposite bank. Even without Wei Yan's internal response, it would not be difficult to defeat Ao Lie's department. So, Wei Qiutai made an order to march quickly: "Pass on the king's order, send two infantry teams to cross the river at the same time!" ”

Buyeo is a small country with only 20,000 cavalry. When the 20,000-man cavalry team set out, the remaining 30,000 troops were all infantry. The weight of one person and one horse is about the same as the weight of two people, since the surface of the difficult water ice can withstand 10,000 cavalry, then it is not a problem to carry 20,000 infantry troops.

With Wei Qiutai's order, two 10,000-strong infantry stepped on the ice at the same time and marched towards the opposite bank. When these two groups of infantry walked in a neat pace and were about to reach the center of the difficult water, the second team of cavalry that had set off earlier had already crossed the middle of the difficult water, and there was still a third of the distance before they were about to reach the opposite bank.

A dull clicking sound sounded on the ice. At first, the clatter of breaking was not very obvious, and it was not even as loud as the sound of horses' hooves trampling the ice, but soon, one after another breaking sound sounded, and the clattering sound became louder and louder, and each one was denser than the other, and soon it became one, so that the 30,000 Buyeo soldiers standing on the ice had a frightened look on their faces.

After living at the water's edge for a long time, what such a clicking sound represents, of course, the Buyeo soldiers know very well - the ice surface is about to collapse. The 30,000 Buyeo soldiers all stopped their steps in unison, and their eyes were already filled with despair. They didn't know what they should do to save their lives, but they all knew that once they sank under the ice, they would definitely end up dead or alive.

After another loud cracking sound, the ice finally began to collapse, and in the center of the difficult water, a piece of ice one foot square, burst open, and then quickly sank into the difficult water, where the ice collapsed, everyone could see the endless flow of water under the ice surface. Difficult water, on this cold winter day, through the thick layer of ice, reveals the turquoise nature of Buyeo that should only be seen in summer. (To be continued......)
