"Hmm...... Why do I dream of walking in the desert, it's such a nasty feeling...... Well, why does the temperature outside feel a little high, even in the daytime, it shouldn't be so hot...... Wait, the light outside seems to be a little big, sky, it's bright? …… No, it's on fire, it's on fire, it's on fire, it's definitely on fire!! ”

"It's on fire! It's on fire!! It's on fire!! Ahh!!!hh ”

Just when a certain dazed Xianbei soldier was still in the vague period of just waking up, the Xianbei soldiers around him had already woken up - the shouts made it difficult for these soldiers to even if they were not awake.

I don't know when a series of fires began to burn in Goguryeo City, and while the Xianbei army was in chaos, new fires continued to ignite, as if someone had deliberately created such a fire.

"It could never have been an accident caused by soldiers fighting for food!" Su Li, who was also awakened, had already gritted his teeth at this time, if someone hadn't stopped him, maybe he would have already drawn his sword and cut people.

However, Su Li is right, if it is just because a few soldiers or even a dozen soldiers caused a fire because they fought for food, even if the fire was caused by poor rescue, but that kind of fire will not be so fast in terms of burning speed and spreading area, especially in the first ten years, and there are no women to hold, many Xianbei people have already slept in their clothes, and they need to ensure that they still have enough strength the next day, maybe stay in Xiangping City to continue the search, The Han people always have a habit of hiding things they can't take with them in some secret place, or piling them up in cellars that are not easy to find. Or simply go to the south of the city, which has also proved to be an empty city, and they are not afraid of such a thing as dividing their troops anyway.

So in this case, at most, there are only two or three possible sources of fire. It is impossible to cause such a super fire that spreads throughout the city, it is obvious that someone is deliberately setting the fire!

"What a monk, you dare to lie to me!"

When Su Li realized that the fire was deliberately created, he had already figured out that this qiē was a ploy of the Han people, and that the monk was obviously a spy sent by the Han people - in fact, when he made a detour to attack Goguryeo City, he already knew that this was a Han plan to delay time, but he hoped to preserve his strength. Second, I also hope that the Han people can have a little more time to prepare, and maybe they will still inevitably fail in the end, but it would be good if they could give Qianman some trouble.

Although the new "mysterious people" around Qianman are powerful, their appearance still robbed Su Li of the power position of these Xianbei marshals, and their ruthless attitude towards Xianbei inside also made Su Li feel chilled - in Su Li's view, those people did not kill for the sake of eliminating dissidents, but for the sake of killing.

Whatever the excuse, it's just one sentence: leave no one alive!

But Su Li never thought of it. The Han people were so bold that they hit him with the idea!

"How's it going?"

"It's very bad, many areas can't rush in at all, and we can't contact the brothers inside, I can only occasionally see a few familiar brothers on fire, howling loudly and rushing left and right frantically, but no matter how we call, there is no response at all."

"Damn Hu Seng, Damn Hu Seng!"

It's gratifying, no matter how much Su Li curses. But he couldn't find Juan Bian's figure at all, in fact, Su Li was still a little worried about Juan Bian. But I didn't expect that the looting operation in Goguryeo during the day today went quite smoothly, although I also encountered the fleeing city guards, but the slightest accident was not an "accident" for the long-tested Xianbei army.

Because of this, when Su Li lived in the Taeshou Mansion in Goguryeo City, he was reluctant to take Juan Bo with him again, and even his beloved general Kebari was asked to choose another mansion to live in. In order to enjoy the "glory" of living in the Taishou Mansion alone, or he hopes to use this way to highlight his leadership position in this army, even if Qianman has become the king of all Xianbei people on the steppe who should obey orders, his position in his own tribe and even in the eastern steppe cannot be changed.

But this also caused Juan to argue that there was no strong supervision, if it was really prepared. Although it is not very easy to escape from here, it is not completely impossible, or he has already prepared a secret passage for himself to escape, even if the whole city has been engulfed by raging flames, he must be able to wait for a qiē in a safe enough place in the city.

"My lord, the fire is huge in the direction of the east gate, and some of the city gates have even collapsed."

Just as Sully lost his temper, the situation seemed to have developed out of control. A succession of reports came in, and it seemed that in a short period of time, news came from the eastern, western, and southern gates that made Sully feel even more resentful.

However, no matter how angry Su Li is now, no matter how much he wants to find someone to vent, he can only hold back, because now the city gates in the three directions are no longer passable, if he does not immediately organize a breakthrough, once the north gate cannot rush out, then it will mean that he Su Li and his soldiers will be suffocated alive in this Goguryeo city.

He is so dignified and handsome, how can he bear it if he dies in this remote town like this!

So Sully hurriedly gathered the troops who could still be notified, flew on his horse, and rushed desperately towards the only north gate, which did not seem to have been completely sealed by the fire, despite the scorching heat coming from all around and the houses that were crumbling because of the fire.

Although Su Li had no intention of caring about anything else, the entire small county town was covered by flames at this time, red up and down, and thick smoke, heat waves, and there were constantly Xianbei cavalry suddenly rolling down from the war horse, and soon there was no sound, and then it was gradually swallowed up by the surging flames, making a sizzling sound, and soon a disgusting aroma of barbecue rose.

Sully and his subordinates, who did not know how many men were left, burst into smoke and fire, and ran for a way - although it stands to reason that the situation at the north gate should be the best, the road from the center of the city to the north gate was not smooth, and there were constantly houses that collapsed due to fires and became obstacles to the road, forcing Sully to constantly choose between rushing through the fire and fleeing from the road. During this period, the soldiers trampled on each other, which also caused countless deaths, but seeing that the north gate was in sight, Su Li could not care so much.

It was easy to finally rush through the already crumbling north gate, before Su Li could catch his breath. I could hear the sound of shouting and killing all around, obviously thinking of setting fire to the city, why didn't Gongsun Du, who could think of setting fire to the city, think of follow-up measures?

I don't know if it's the Han people or the Buyeo people, but no matter what kind of troops they are, the state of Su Li and his subordinates at this time is definitely not good, and it can even be said to be very bad, even if they have eaten before they go to sleep, but after such a period of rushing left and right, not only is the consumption extremely huge. In the same way, HP has also been more or less damaged because of the crossing of the fire, and it can be said that Su Li's department is injured at this time, and the fighting spirit is low, and the situation is worrying.

If he was in a normal state, even if he didn't have many troops left, he would at least have the confidence to escape, but now that he had fallen into such a field, Sully began to wonder for the first time whether he would be able to see the sun rise the next day.

But in fact, there are only soldiers and horses left in Esuri today. Even if he can really escape, I am afraid that he will be used by Qianman and the "mysterious man" group who are integrating the entire grassland to make an example of the monkeys. As Pielly himself once complained, those "mysterious people" do what they like to do is not the set of vertical and horizontal sloppiness on the political zhì, they just care about how many people they can kill by their actions, or their pursuit of killing efficiency can be regarded as a pursuit of "Tao".

It's a pity that because of the rush of escaping, Sully didn't think of being so "far away", so at this time he still had a little bit of a mood to break through. Maybe in his heart, he still feels that he is a few fierce generals in the Xianbei army, even if he is really defeated and loses his division, as long as he is willing to give up part of the power in his hand to be a pawn for Qianman, he should be safe in life.

So there was no intention of engaging the enemy army at all. When Sully discovered that the enemy army was still buried in an ambush outside the city, he immediately sent his henchman Kebari to lead the troops behind as the palace army, while he himself led his guards and elite soldiers to charge forward.

Su Li's idea is very good, but now the whole army is sluggish, and the Xianbei army is only good at downwind warfare - if the main general takes the lead in the headwind, it may be able to make the soldiers willing to die with him for the sake of honor, but now as the main general of the first army, Su Li is desperately trying to escape, how can other ordinary Xianbei soldiers die for it?

So the defeated army immediately dispersed, each fleeing for his life, no one was willing to stand up for Su Li at all, including Su Li's original very relied on the "confidant and favorite general" Ke Bari, who escaped even more happily with the better war horse under his crotch.

Probably only a few of the elite of the Sully Army and those who are closely related to them are still protecting Sully's side.

In this way, in the pursuit of the Liaodong Army, the Suli Army rushed north to the Xiaoliao River in the north of Goguryeo City.

At this time, although the Xiaoliao River is still in the dry period, it is still more than fifty meters wide, and the deepest part is more than three meters, which may only cause a little trouble for ordinary troops, but for the Suli Division, where people are sleepy and horses are lacking, and the soldiers around them are already anxious at this time, the existence of such a river is tantamount to a moat.

Su Li could feel that the Liaodong army behind him was gradually approaching, there were Han people, there were also Buyeo people, they couldn't see clearly in the dark, and they could only guess by feeling, but it was an undeniable fact that they were forced to a dead end.

"Whose subordinates are you people, I'm Su Li, and I ask for a death that matches my identity!"

He sent his subordinates into the water to try to see if he could swim across, but before he could reach the center of the river, he had already been shot into hedgehogs by the Liaodong army.

Another proof of this is that in the face of Su Li's several yellings, the Liaodong army that surrounded them did not react at all, they were like statues in the dark, standing with bows, staring at Su Li coldly, just like the chef looking at the live fat fish on his chopping board, the chef will not pity the fat fish that is about to lose his life, they will only think about how to cook it to make the fat fish more delicious, or how many copper coins this fat fish can sell.

Yes, Sully has become a fat fish on the chopping board at this time. It can only be slaughtered by others.

Probably realizing this, Su Li no longer wasted his body and shouted loudly, he looked coldly at the soldiers who regarded him as an important path to his promotion and wealth, and confronted those soldiers in this way, not only to delay time to see if there were any other changes in the situation, but also to restore his own body. Maybe I'm going to make a last-ditch fight.

Soon, perhaps with new orders, or perhaps with the last patience of the front-line commanders, the bowstring opened and loosened, and with the sound of a buzzing sound, one feathered arrow after another rose into the air, naturally aimed at the remnants of Sully who were surrounded on the bank of the river.

And Su Li, who felt the change in the soldier's aura, and the warriors around him were not to be outdone, and rushed out the moment the feather arrow was shot. The goal is no longer to run for their lives, because this is definitely the fastest option to die, so it may be possible to find the only chance of survival - this is of course the most ideal situation, but neither Sully nor his men will believe this, and the main reason why they still choose to fight is purely for the dignity of being a warrior.

Death with dignity, and not death on the way to escape, for these fighters. It's the best place to be.

It was a battle that was doomed to no hope.

It is a battle that is destined to have no winners.

It was a battle that was destined to be extremely bloody and fierce.

"Anyway, at least it won. Although we paid a Goguryeo, we annihilated more than 10,000 Xianbei troops, and most importantly, we got the head of Suli, a very important general in the Xianbei army, which was enough for us to do a lot of things. ”

Looking at the tragic battlefield in front of him, even if Gongsun Du had already trained a deep enough city, he couldn't help but change slightly, and not only did he leave a large number of stumps of Xianbei people at the scene. There are also more Han and Buyeyu corpses than the corpses of the Xianbei people, and even some corpses have a head with teeth piercing deep into the skin.

As for Su Li, he stood in the forest with his eyes wide open, his body pierced by eight spears. The blood had been drained, and the corpse was already cold, but the strong fighting intent still made Gongsun Du, who came here in person, feel a chill.

It is conceivable that if it weren't for Su Li's carelessness, if it was a whole year of conflict, even if the Liaodong people could still win, but if they wanted to keep Su Li, a lone wolf who was also famous in the Xianbei army, it was really impossible to happen.

"Yes, although it was a bit tragic in the end, I still want to congratulate the lord for killing the difficult enemy chief of Suli."

It's a pity that these Liaodong people don't know that Su Li is now not the one who ranks first in the Xianbei camp, whether it is those "mysterious people", or the younger generation under Yuwen Tuo who are increasingly showing strong combat power, they are not comparable to the older generation of Su Li, but it is no wonder that the Liaodong Army does not understand, although the ranking of masters on the grassland has undergone fundamental changes, but if you talk about the ranking of threats in the grassland and even further areas, Except for the storage of first-hand information through various channels such as Bingzhou, the rest of the forces are basically just looking at those old yellow calendars.

Therefore, the one who knows a person best must be his opponent.

But even so, the Liaodong army from top to bottom seemed extremely happy, Su Li's death can be said to have greatly boosted the morale of the Liaodong army, and more importantly, those forces who had to join forces with the Liaodong army because of the existence of the Xianbei people also became more and more deferential to the Liaodong army because of this big victory.

The reason why this is the result and not the wariness of the Liaodong Army is that on the one hand, the Xianbei army is still strong, so strong that even if the Liaodong Army gets off to a good start, even if the major forces in Liaodong are united, it is still weaker than the momentum of the Xianbei people - the ordinary soldiers below can flicker at will, but if the high-level who has mastered the lifeblood of the survival of the power still lives in a nihilistic fantasy, then it will be a natural thing for them to be defeated.

As for the other reason, it is because Su Li's death is largely due to Su Li's careless Han scheme, if it were not for this, Su Li obviously would not be able to give the head so easily, and the high-level of other forces obviously do not think that they are even more stupid than Su Li, so can the Han people who have no wisdom to rely on still have such a strong power?

Therefore, now that the Han people use their strategies to trap the Xianbei people more and more, the more happy each side of the coalition will be.

No one knows exactly how Mulman reacted to Sully's defeat, but it is certain. When the news of the Suli fiasco reached the tent of Xianbei Shan Yu that stood on the grassland, the Xianbei people, who had not seemed to be very urgent, seemed to just want to crush the coalition army with a strong deterrent and oppression, finally tore off their majestic faces, and replaced them with ferocity and brutality - in just three days, more than a dozen villages near the grassland were wiped out, and the Xianbei and Karasuma people turned the Liaodong army into a deserted white land within 30 miles of the border fortress.

Such a cruel fact made the generals of the Liaodong Army, up to Gongsun Du and those foreign races, shudder. The officers and soldiers at the lower levels also quickly recovered from the ecstasy of killing Su Li, but such a huge contrast also made Gongsun Du's morale, which was so easy to raise desperately, return to the original point before the battle almost instantly.

Anyway, if it didn't collapse immediately, it should be said that it was gratifying.

It's just that even if this is really a fortunate thing, Gongsun Du still doesn't want to see such a situation happen.

But what should be done this time?

Or is it the same way?

In other words, even if the Xianbei people paid the price of blood because of their previous arrogance, it was precisely because the Xianbei people had learned enough lessons that it was obviously impossible for them to fall into the same trap in a row, and the Liaodong army lacked that kind of strong strategists, so they naturally couldn't devise any powerful strategies.

It can be said that Su Li was able to be so miserable at the beginning, and the credit of Hu Seng Juan can be said to be great, if it were not for his prior persuasion and various appropriate responses in action. Perhaps Su Li had already sensed that the situation was not good and jumped out of the encirclement, and how terrible Su Li's subordinates who jumped out of the encirclement were, Gongsun Du and the others obviously knew very well.

The situation can be said to have reached the worst.

No, maybe the situation isn't the worst.

Although it seems that the situation has been bad for the time being, if it is really compared with what happened later, the situation that the Liaodong Army has to face at this time is obviously much easier.

Because, the Liaodong Army saw the scene that made them unforgettable even if they were afraid of eternal life:

It was a sun-rising morning, and the temperature was a little low after a night without sunlight. Because of this, a slight mist rose from the vast land. Let the distant scenery be hidden in a milky white, and the place that is a little closer also becomes hazy, and it seems so unreal.

At the head of Liaoyang City, the soldiers were patrolling conscientiously and conscientiously with apprehension and anxiety.

They were all aware of the arrival of the Xianbei army, and the unstoppable momentum of that mighty army - not counting the Karasuma people who had been helpless against them, but this time probably with the intention of taking advantage of the fire.

The Liaodong Army had probably never encountered such a large army. Even if there are more than 10,000 people, there will be a sense of boundlessness in the vision, if you add an order of magnitude to this - unimaginable, really unimaginable, it is completely beyond them, these Liaodong natives who have not seen further away and lived here for generations.

"Enemy attack! Enemy Attack!! It's an enemy attack!! ”

I don't know who shouted first, but it wasn't long after that voice sounded. More terrible shouts rang out immediately, alerting the alarm bell of the enemy's situation, and all kinds of panicked and noisy voices mixed together, cutting through the otherwise calm morning.

And this qiē comes from the figure looming in the mist in the distance.

A figure approaching.

The sun is rising, the mist is dissipating, and the enemy is approaching from afar.

For those fighters with good eyesight and known as the "eagle eye of the army", they can already distinguish the general characteristics of the enemy.

However, at the same moment, these people showed the same expressions and made the same movements.

With a look of horror on his face, he stepped back in unison, and then sat down on the cold ground in unison, his mouth wide open, but it seemed as if he had lost his ability to speak at that moment, and his mouth could only make some snoring sounds.

It looked as if something was impossible.

Or maybe you just hit a ghost in broad daylight?

It seemed to be a long time, and it didn't seem to be long, for a junior officer, about the rank of a hundred archers, seemed to come to his senses, or fell into an even worse state—his eyes were blank, and he sat there sluggishly, his hands trembling slightly, as if he were nervous, muttering something to himself.

If you can get closer, you'll see that there are only two words in his muttering:

Sully! (To be continued......)
