"Woooo

A rocket was shot on the straw halfway up the mountainside, the straw was ignited, there was some saltpeter in the straw to help burn, the fire rose quickly, plus the wind, the fire soon burned, the smoke was rolling, the straw thrown in front of everyone's eyes was also ignited, the wind blew, the fire was chaotic, the heat was pressing, Qin Huaidao hurriedly signaled everyone to retreat.

More than 5,000 people are more than 5,000 bales of straw, more than 2,000 bales halfway up the mountain, more than 3,000 bales on the top of the mountain, and the width of the stacks is only more than 100 meters.

The Goguryeo enemy of the fortress group below can't understand what kind of fighting this is, everyone understands the fire attack, but it has to be burned, and it is even more impossible to release smoke and poison, as soon as the cold wind blows, the smoke drifts away, and it does not blow to the fortress at all.

The soldiers on the top of the mountain also couldn't understand it, and everyone quietly glanced at Qin Huaidao from time to time and wanted to ask, but seeing Qin Huaidao's cold face, they didn't dare to ask more, so they suppressed their curiosity and continued to look at the burning fire.

Qin Huaidao didn't want to say it, but it was too troublesome to explain, his sharp eyes stared at the snow melting under the fire, turning into water and penetrating to the ground, and more and more, it was fake that he was not nervous in his heart, although he was sure, but after all, it was the result of calculation, and it was not necessarily the truth.

Gradually, Qin Huaidao saw that on the steep hillside, the thick snow began to crack, and when the straw burned to the end, the cracks became bigger and bigger, more and more, his eyes were bright, staring at it, and he shouted: "Quick, all stand back, step back a little." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a large patch of snow slide down, and with it, the snow that fell with it.

Halfway up the mountain, there was also a slip, forming a vacuum, and without the snow to resist, the snow on the vacuum zone lost its support, and it also slid down, and the area became larger and larger.

Soon, the snow on the top of the mountain collapsed in a large area, slid down, formed a certain momentum and began to roll down, plus the halfway up the mountain also sliding, after no resistance, the speed was faster.

"Boom—"

In the blink of an eye, snow rolled down from the top of the mountain, forming an avalanche.

The sound was deafening, like a thousand horses galloping, like a monstrous wave smashing towards the foot of the mountain, splashing snowflakes all over the sky.

At the foot of the mountain, in the fortress group, the Goguryeo soldiers saw the endless snow rolling down, like the collapse of a towering mountain, and they turned pale with fright, and their bodies were frozen, forgetting to escape, forgetting to dodge, and not even knowing how to think, just because all this was too sudden and incredible.

"Heavenly punishment, heavenly punishment!"

I don't know who suddenly shouted, and his voice was filled with endless fear, sharp, and trembling.

The next moment, the Goguryeo soldiers knelt down one after another, trembling.

In the age of ignorance, the Goguryeo soldiers thought that it was a punishment from the gods to punish everyone for their sins, and no one dared to escape, no one dared to resist, and there was no way to resist, and a violent avalanche fell violently, filling in the foot of the mountain and submerging most of the fortress below.

On the top of the mountain, the soldiers were also dumbfounded when they saw this scene, forgetting the battle, they didn't even dare to breathe, and secretly looked at Qin Huaidao, inexplicably, there was a sense of awe in their hearts.

That's a man who can be punished by heaven!

That's the messenger of the gods!

Qin Huaidao saw the avalanche rolling down, and his heart was settled, fortunately, the calculation was correct, the temperature of the straw burning melted enough snow water, and after the snow water penetrated into the ground deep in the snow layer drop by drop, the originally solid snow became loose, greatly reducing the cohesion and breaking strength between the snow, so that the snow layer and the ground sliding, so that it fell.

The top of the mountain and the halfway of the mountain are burned at the same time, once the snow on the halfway of the mountain melts and slides, a vacuum zone will be formed, and the snow on the top will have no resistance, and it will slide under the action of gravity, and the snow water on the top of the mountain will melt and flow down, causing the ground to be slippery, and the thick snow layer will inevitably appear avalanche.

If that doesn't work, then the only way to do this is to let the soldiers go to the opposite valley and shout, and cause an avalanche by sonic vibration, but fortunately everything is calculated, and there is no need to yell like a madman.

Soon, the avalanche fell silent, and the fortress at the foot of the mountain was silent and silent.

The fighter is now, and the victory is in hand.

Qin Huaidao drew his sword, his face was cold, his eyes were sharp, his long knife pointed forward, and shouted: "Brothers, go down the mountain from the side, enter the fortress, and leave no one behind." ”

"Kill—"

The soldiers reacted violently and roared excitedly, and their fighting spirit boiled.

I thought that the enemy army of 50,000 would be a bloody battle, but now it seems to be as easy as ever, one by one, my eyes are shining, I slide down the gentle hill next to me, turn around when I am about to slide down the mountain, rush into the fortress from the place where the avalanche is filled, rush into the ground, skillfully take off the sled board, and rush to the place where the repeater has not yet been landfilled.

Don't be frightened by the few remaining enemies, don't resist at all, and surrender on your knees.

But the general order is to kill them all, and it is not easy to come here, wouldn't it be a pity not to make some military achievements? One by one, they shot decisively, and the crossbow arrows rained down like locusts, and the Goguryeo soldiers fell down one by one.

When Qin Huaidao rushed over, he saw corpses all over the ground, and the battle was over.

This battle was easy beyond everyone's expectations, everyone saw Qin Huaidao coming, they got out of the way, separated on both sides, their eyes were full of awe, even the familiar three brothers of the Cheng family and the two brothers of Wei Chi were inexplicably a little nervous, and they wanted to stop talking, in everyone's opinion, the avalanche just now was the punishment of heaven, and Qin Huaidao was the one who attracted the punishment of heaven.

In this era, people have an inexplicable awe of heavenly punishment.

Qin Huaidao didn't think much about it, looked at everyone and said: "Clean up the battlefield, collect the weapons, find some living and ask, see where the materials are stacked, dig them out and take them away." ”

"Obey!" The crowd roared into orders.

Qin Huaidao noticed that everyone was a little abnormal, but they left one after another and carried out the order, so he didn't ask too much, and explained to Li Dejian: "Take people to the city wall at the exit of the valley to set up a sentry to prevent anyone from coming." ”

"Obey!" Li Yixie hurriedly went with a team of Yulin guards, and before leaving, he did not forget to tell the forty Yulin guards to be on guard to protect the safety of Qin Huaidao.

Not long after, a voice came: "General, a large number of corpses of civilians have been found. ”

Qin Huaidao looked for prestige, it was Li Dejian shouting, and hurriedly ran over to take a look, a wide fortress was stacked with corpses in all directions, filling the entire space, men, women and children, the death was tragic, and judging from the dress, it was ordinary people.

"Brute!" Seeing this scene, Qin Huaidao's eyes instantly turned red, as a qualified soldier, he accepted the belief of fighting for the people, and he couldn't see this kind of human suffering the most, and he couldn't see ordinary people being killed.

"Yu Chi Baolin!" Qin Huaidao shouted.

"In!"

"Take a thousand people to find a place to dig a pit, burn it if you can't dig it, and if you don't have anything to burn, you will peel off the clothes of the Goguryeo group of beasts and burn them, and bury the people."

"Obey!" When Yu Chi Baolin saw the room full of corpses, his eyes were also red, and he left in a hurry.

"Keep searching, and find all the people." Qin Huaidao yelled, his emotions a little out of control.

Yu Linwei, the team in charge of the escort around him, hurriedly took action.

Qin Huaidao stood at the door, staring at the room full of corpses in a daze, with that tragic expression, that painful look, and that dead eyes, as if he was accusing this damned era and the Goguryeo army that should be killed.

For a long time, for a long time, Qin Huaidao remained motionless, like a sculpture, but his heart was full of anger burning, boiling, turning into endless hatred for Goguryeo.

When the two armies are fighting, each according to his own ability, no one complains about anyone when he dies on the battlefield, but he can't kill the people indiscriminately.

That's the bottom line!

The bottom line of unacceptable, unforgivable.

It didn't take long for more corpses to be found, and one by one they were lifted out of the fortress and carried to the large pit outside, neatly arranged, and a tragic and oppressive atmosphere permeated, and the joy of victory in the great battle was swept away.

Two hours later, night fell, a large amount of snow was cleared, and a large amount of supplies were dug up.

Piles of bonfires were lit in the open area, and mass graves continued to be dug without anyone complaining or slacking off.

The generals gathered around Qin Huaidao, silently watching the excavation site of the mass grave, with a heavy heart.

After another hour, the mass grave was dug up, and the corpses were carried down, Qin Huaidao came to the big pit, looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, you can't protect the safety of the people, this is a shame for you and me, Goguryeo is unkind, cruel and tyrannical, this general swears in front of the people of Liujiabao here, not to take revenge, swear not to be a person, heaven and earth learn together!" ”

"Revenge, revenge!" The crowd roared.

The voice was tragic and resentful, with some kind of warrior's indomitability and mission.

Qin Huaidao took a handful of soil and sprinkled it, and shouted: "Liujiabao villagers, rest in peace, bury-"

At the sound of the order, the soldiers shoveled the soil down and buried it.

Qin Huaidao came to Li Dejian and asked coldly, "How is the loot statistics?" ”

"There are still a lot of undug up, there are currently 10,000 war horses, 3,000 war horses are buried in the snow and died, about 50,000 stone of grain, which is well preserved, and a batch of forage, about 10,000 Goguryeo corpses, and the others are still under the snow and have not been dug up." Li Dejian hurriedly said.

"Dig, keep digging, give you a night of time, move fast."

"Obey!" Everyone took the order and took action one after another.

"Li Yixie!"

"In!"

"Take your hundred feathers and forest guards to disperse, reconnoiter the surroundings, prevent the enemy army, while searching the surrounding people, the village has been sacked by Goguryeo, it is empty, the fleeing people should hide in the depths of the mountains, caves and other places, you can shout to find, if you find it, all bring food."

"Obey!" Li Yixie hurriedly went.

Qin Huaidao came to a fortress, let people burn a bonfire, someone brought a wooden stool, Qin Huaidao nodded in gratitude, while baking the fire, spread out the map to study, his face was gloomy as frost.

Not long after, Li Dejian came over, roasted a washed and peeled sheep on the fire, looked at Qin Huaidao, a little afraid to speak, silently roasted beside him, and glanced at Qin Huaidao from time to time.

Qin Huaidao felt Li Dejian's abnormality and asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Li Dejian hesitated, but still asked, "Can you really attract heavenly punishment?" ”

"You mean the avalanche?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.

"Yes, the avalanche is also a kind of heavenly punishment, everyone is very curious, but also a little scared, quietly talking behind their backs, saying that you are a human messenger sent by the gods, you are invincible, from watering into ice to build a city, to sleigh boards, and thirty consecutive crossbows, unheard of, unseen, and now it has attracted heavenly punishment, it is incredible" Li Dejian couldn't help but say bluntly.

In the era of ignorance, advocating the theory of ghosts and gods, it is not clear at all that this is science, it is a technology, everyone will, Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically: "Isn't this good?" ”

Li Dejian hurriedly said: "Okay, the brothers are wearing it in private, saying that the general is the messenger of the gods, and he is invincible and invincible with the general, since he came to Yingzhou, we have not been defeated once, and we have won more with less, and there are very few losses, and now the morale is high." ”

Qin Huaidao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his morale was high, this was a good thing, and he pointed to the map and said: "After this battle, half of the Goguryeo army went south, and I don't know where the remaining half is, what do you think?" ”

"It should be distributed in many places like Liujiabao, the number of Tibetan troops in each place is different, the heavy snow closes the road, it is difficult to walk, their activities are restricted, and they can't run for a while, it's better to find them out one by one and kill them, what does the general think?" Li Dejian asked rhetorically.

"The problem now is that we don't know where the enemy is, it's too time-consuming to look for them one by one, we can't be outside for too long, be careful of being attacked in the rear." Qin Huaidao said and continued to study the map.

Li Dejian had no better way and was silent.

The bonfire was blazing and crackling.

From time to time, there were exclamations of soldiers digging up good things, and the rustle of shoveling snow.

Soon, the lamb was bubbling with oil and a fresh fragrance.

Qin Huaidao ate something, rested on a wooden bench, and slept very uncomfortably.

In a daze, Qin Huaidao was woken up by a noise, and when he got up, he saw that there were many people outside, all wearing thin clothes, shivering from the cold, Li Yixie stepped forward to salute: "General, find a few people hiding in caves, women and children can't come over, the road is difficult to walk." ”

There were all young and strong people, about a thousand people, looking around nervously.

Qin Huaidao stepped forward and asked: "Don't be afraid, everyone, we are the Tang Army, the son of Qin Qiong, the general of Dingyuan, Qin Li, the damned Goguryeo beasts have been killed, and you have also seen the corpses on the ground, we are our own people, there is a lot of loot, you can take as much as you can in a while." ”

"Is the general really the son of the Duke of Yiguo?" Someone shouted in surprise.

"Can this still be faked?" Qin Huaidao looked at each other.

The other party said with some excitement: "The grass people were soldiers under the command of the Duke of Yiguo, they were injured, and when they returned to their hometown, the Duke of Yiguo was benevolent and righteous, and the general was also noble, not only killed the beasts of Goguryeo to avenge the people, but also gave everyone food, the great kindness and virtue are unforgettable, and the grass people thank the general for the reward!" ”

"General Xie's reward!" The crowd shook their heads.

"You're polite, we are Tang Dynasty soldiers, and we should protect you, but it's a pity that it's too late, you are familiar with the surroundings, can you tell General Ben where the enemy of Goguryeo is hiding? Who knows? Qin Huaidao asked.

"General, the little one knows, there is an army in Wangjia Town, the number is unknown, about thirty miles to the east, it is a small town, there are more than 100 households, that day the little one beat a fox, ready to pick up the town for some salt and come back, saw them kill, and then stayed and didn't leave, it snowed at night, the blizzard closed the road, they must still be in the town." A burly man shouted.

Qin Huaidao was overjoyed, he was worried that he didn't know where the enemy was, but he didn't expect to ask casually, and actually asked for the news, looked at Li Dejian beside him and asked in a low voice, "Is there any silver?" ”

"There were a lot of trophies, and a lot of gold and silver jewelry, which looked like they had been robbed."

"Go get a hundred."

Li Dejian agreed and hurriedly went.

Qin Huaidao looked at the man just now again and asked, "That army has more archers, or does it have more swords, shields, and swords?" ”

"The people who were shot with bows and arrows, and then a group of people rushed in and slashed and killed, and there were many cavalry onlookers, estimated to be tens of thousands, the details are not clear."

At this time, Li Dejian came over and handed over the silver.

The other party was a little stunned and didn't dare to answer, Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "This is a reward for thanking you for providing clues, I hope you can lead the way, okay?" ”

"The small ones don't need to be rewarded, as long as you beat those brutes, the little ones are willing to lead the way."

"Take it, bring some meat back to your family first, and then come back, General Ben is waiting here, and you, come and get it, and live well when you go back." Qin Huaidao said.

Everyone hesitated, wanted to come, but didn't dare, a few bold stepped forward and carried a large bag of wheat and left, and the others saw that there was no obstruction, and they were bold.

Not long after, countless grains, horses, cattle and sheep were taken away by everyone, the snow was very thick, and it was very difficult to walk, and one by one the grain was put on the snow and dragged away, but it was easier to save trouble.

Qin Huaidao saw that there were still many more, and shouted, "Let's go again." ”

"General Xie is benevolent!" The crowd stood in the thick snow shouting and kowtowing.

Looking at this scene, Qin Huaidao felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

An hour later, the army was ready to go, everyone was well fed and drunk, carrying a piece of roasted meat for later use, the slaughtered mutton fat was made into rockets for backup, and the captured swords, arrows, gold and silver and other booty were distributed.

The person who reported the clue also came and led everyone away.

Thirty miles is not difficult for everyone with sleds, but the people who lead the way can't go fast, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang two brothers, one left and one right, dragged people away, embarrassed, but the speed can keep up, and when they are halfway through, when they come to a hillside, the town in the distance is in sight.

The person who led the way returned, and everyone knew the specific location and hurried to the road.

Not long after, the team came to the vicinity of the town, and hid in the woods on a small hillside, the town did not look small, low rammed-earth thatched huts were built on the river, the ice was opened, there were people dressed as soldiers fetching water, and some people were fishing.

Fish is too fishy for people in this era to eat unless there is a shortage of food.

Many tents were set up outside the town, and the horses were gathered together, losing a lot of weight, it is estimated that it was caused by not eating or drinking, Qin Huaidao looked at this scene and had a bottom in his heart, and immediately said: "An Guogong, everyone, the town is not big, about 10,000 people, at most 15,000, no matter how many, they are coming, there is no reason not to do it." ”

"General, how to fight?" Everyone looked at it.

Qin Huaidao pointed to the woods not far away and said: "Chu Mo, you take people to sneak up from there, it is not easy to expose it in advance, and then suddenly kill, use the tents on the periphery of the rocket town, once the enemy chases out, quickly retreat, lead them to chase, we have sledders, run fast, they can't." ”

"What about us?" The others were anxious when they heard it.

"Don't panic, you're going to hit you." Qin Huaidao pointed to the other two directions and said: "You two each lead a thousand and quietly detour up, as soon as you hit this side, the enemy's attention will be attracted to the past, and even the troops dare to go, you two will kill at the same time, sneak attack from the back and two wings, also burn the tent first, and then kill the enemy, if you can't do anything, you will retreat, lead them to pursue, once the town is empty, the Wei Chi brothers will lead the troops to take it." ”

"What if you don't chase it?" An Guogong couldn't help but ask.

"It doesn't hurt if you don't chase, Chu Mo is the upper hand, continue to shoot and kill remotely, Chu Liang and Chu Bi will lead the troops to pull away from the formation and put on an offensive posture, the enemy will not dare to press up and pursue Chu Mo, and will divide the troops to defend, as soon as there is a time, two thousand forbidden troops will be pressed up, see how they respond, this is called a wolf tactic, whoever has the opportunity to go up and take a bite, if there is no chance, just watch, do not give them the opportunity to divide the troops, we have time to slowly consume, this battle is dangerous, be careful, act." Qin Huaidao ordered decisively.

As soon as everyone heard it, they all understood, first burn the tent and then kill the enemy, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can run, with the sled board the enemy can't catch up, it's better to chase out, get stuck in the snow and become a live target, it doesn't hurt if you don't chase, the tent is burned down, these people don't have thick wool coats like everyone, they can't bear the cold.

Everyone quickly left with their troops.

Qin Huaidao didn't move, and continued to observe, there were two thousand forbidden troops as reserves, and he had the bottom in his heart.

This battle will be a bit dangerous, once the enemy is stubbornly resistant, the casualties will increase, but there is no way, once the snow melts, this 10,000-strong army is more threatening, and must take the opportunity to clear it.

After observing for a while, Qin Huaidao's eyes fell on a relatively good courtyard, estimating that it was only the richest family in this town, such a courtyard would generally be occupied by enemy generals, and pointed to the courtyard and said: "Wei Chi Baolin, wait for the three-way battle, after the enemy's troops are mobilized, you lead a thousand people to rush over, walk the river, the river is lower than the town, the troops rush up and hide under the slope to shoot, and rush in if you have the opportunity." ”

"Down the slope?" Yu Chi Baolin looked ahead, a little worried.

If you don't move, aren't you just a live target? Goguryeo's archers were not vegetarians.

Qin Huaidao saw Wei Chi Baolin's worries, and explained: "The slope is steep, but it is only one person high, and it is not easy to shoot the enemy under the hide, and besides, after the enemy is attacked by three ways, the strength that can be divided to attack you will not exceed a thousand, one thousand against a thousand, you have a repeating crossbow, or are you close range, and you are hiding under the steep slope, it is not a big problem, however, this thousand is probably the elite, do you see that compound?" ”

"Are you saying that the enemy generals are hiding in the compound, and the one thousand are the enemy generals' pro-army?" Yu Chi Baolin reacted, and when he saw Qin Huaidao nodding, he smiled excitedly: "Then it's no problem, rush in after taking those thousand people, and take the first credit." ”

Qin Huaidao looked at Yu Chi Baoqi: "Yu Chi Baoqi, you lead another thousand people to go up diagonally from the side, block the enemy troops who may rush to support the point, give your brother cover, and fight quickly." ”

"Obey!" The two excitedly agreed.

Soon, everyone saw a large army rushing out of the woods at the mouth of the town, and then a burst of rockets whistled away, heading straight for the quiet town without warning.

The Great War has begun!
