At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 148 The Aggrieved Li Yanei
The swamp by the river was formed due to the diversion of the river. Its area is not very large, only half the size of a football field, but at this time it has become a Shura hell that eats people and does not spit out bones. I can't help but fall into it, but I see people crowding people, horses abandoning horses, people riding horses, horses pressing people down, it's so lively, but both people and horses are desperately struggling to survive, crying, screaming, neighing The sound is mixed together, which is extraordinarily creepy.

As we all know, the bottom of the swamp is full of mud. The more you struggle, the faster you sink. Try to stretch your limbs and don't move around. It was still covered with a white cloth, and the whole village, old and young, waited for the food to be served.

Those Goryeo cavalrymen were in a panic, struggling instinctively, not to mention the horses, so in just a few minutes, more than a dozen horses, together with their owners, completely sank in the mud and disappeared. There were only piles of blackened mud bubbling and bubbling. Even Gao Bufan was shocked and distressed when he saw it. Of course, he only felt sorry for those horses. If a dozen war horses could be brought back to Tai Sui, at least It can be sold for a thousand taels of silver.

Fortunately, there were about [-] Goryeo cavalry who did not fall into the swamp. They instinctively tried to rescue their companions, but were caught off guard by the ambushes who suddenly appeared in the reeds, and finally had to give up the rescue and concentrate on fighting the sudden attack. The ambushes killed.

Centurion Liu Chengwu was very lucky. Although he took the lead and ran in the front, he was agile, and his feet were out of the stirrups in time, and he was not crushed by the mounts. Many cavalrymen under his command had their feet locked by the stirrups. , and then being crushed by the fallen horse, he became a wronged soul in the swamp before he even had time to struggle.

Liu Chengwu climbed on the back of one horse, jumped onto the back of another horse, and then stepped on the heads of several companions. Only then did he escape from the swamp and save his life. Another centurion, Liu Zhengzhe, was very angry. Unlucky, after falling into the swamp, he was bumped and crushed by more than a dozen horses behind him who couldn't hold back. He probably was crushed to death before he could suffocate to death.

Let's say that after Liu Chengwu escaped from the swamp, he grabbed an unowned horse and tried to gather the remaining cavalry to fight back. Unfortunately, after the cavalry lost their mobility, they couldn't get much advantage from the infantry, not to mention that there was a large swamp next to it. The space for the horses to move was limited, and in the end Liu Chengwu only led a dozen or so riders to escape in panic, and he himself was shot in the shoulder by an arrow.

About half an hour later, the battle was completely over. There were no people in the overcrowded swamp, the water was still and the river was flying, and only a few war horses were left lying on the muddy mud.

Liu Gou'er, Liu Qijin and others tried to pull the few remaining war horses out of the mud, but failed. After a few minutes, these war horses were covered by the mud one after another, and followed their owners.

It was noon, the sun was shining, and this late spring already had a hint of early summer, but Pei Xingyan felt a little chill on his back. He was extremely brave and fearless. He had just experienced a bloody battle, but at this moment Seeing a hundred-man cavalry being swallowed by the swamp silently like this, I couldn't help feeling cold all over my body.

The eight surviving guards beside them also broke out in a cold sweat. They didn't expect that the ground covered with fresh green grass turned out to be a terrifying swamp that cannibalize people. They were stationed at the edge of the swamp just now. If they hadn't followed Gao If Bufan and Pei Xingyan turned their horses and charged instead to flee for their lives by the river, they would have died in this swamp just like those Goguryeo cavalry.

Thinking of this, the guards looked at Gao Bufan with complicated eyes, admiration and gratitude, but also fear. After all, it is impossible for anyone to feel comfortable if he is used as a bait. Using their bodies as bait to fight side by side with everyone, the guards may only have resentment and anger in their hearts, after all, more than half of the brothers died here.

Gao Bufan also understood that what he did was not kind to Pei Xingyan and the others, but as the saying goes, the harm between the two powers is the lesser, and it is undoubtedly very cost-effective for him to annihilate two teams of Goguryeo cavalry at the cost of more than a dozen lives What's more, he didn't know Pei Xingyan and others at the beginning, let alone friendship, so he didn't feel bad about it. If he did it again, he would still choose to do this. As for what Pei Xingyan and others thought, he didn't care. It's best to understand, it's okay if you don't understand, the big deal is to part ways.

In this battle, the luckiest person is undoubtedly the big dandy Li Yi, who was about to die in the swamp, but was shot by Han Laoshi with an arrow. He was unscathed, but a bit embarrassed, but his two confidants, Li Jindou and Li Yindou, were injured to varying degrees.

At this time, Li Yi was sitting on a dead horse, his helmet was lost somewhere, and the two generals Li Jindou and Li Yindou were bandaging each other's wounds.

Li Yi was still very annoyed that his mount was shot, but when he saw the miserable condition of those stick soldiers who fell into the swamp, he couldn't be annoyed immediately. At this moment, only fear and luck remained in his heart, and he murmured: : "His grandma, that kid surnamed Gao is young, but he has a full stomach, and dares to use us as bait. This trick is really sinister and poisonous."

This guy is not at all ashamed of his behavior of running away, but talks about others viciously.

The second general Hengha next to him nodded in agreement, and only listened to Li Jindou: "What you said is very true. That kid is not only good at riding and shooting, but also very good at fighting. His martial arts are probably not much better than Pei Xingyan. The key is this kid. He is also extremely scheming, and the subordinates found that everyone here only looks at him, so it is best for you, Young Master, to restrain yourself and not to conflict with this person."

From this point of view, this Li Jindou still has a brain, but Li Yi is obviously not, and said disapprovingly: "I'm afraid he's a fart, although the kid surnamed Gao is from the Bohai Gao family, but the current Bohai Gao family gives me the Longxi Li family." He is not worthy of lifting shoes, not to mention that he himself is only white, not even a soldier, why should he be the boss to command the government army and militia, believe it or not, I will show my identity, let's see who those government soldiers and militia listen to?"

After finishing speaking, this guy actually stood up, and shouted at the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield nearby: "You guys, come here!"

These government soldiers saw Li Yi fleeing with their own eyes at the time, and they felt a little disdainful in their hearts, but they are regular soldiers after all. Looking at the equipment Li Yi carried, they knew that their status was not low, so they could only patiently stepped forward and saluted: "Sir, what do you want?" thing?"

"Blind your dog's eyes!" Li Doujin scolded fiercely, and Li Yindou next to him immediately stepped up and said with dignity: "This is the grandson of Li Hun, the great general of Zuowuwei, who is the Duke of the Chaoyang Kingdom. Li Yi, Young Master Li."

The complexions of several government soldiers changed slightly. Naturally, no one would dare to pretend to be the eldest grandson of the Duke of Yi, not to mention the Grand General of the Duke, even Qianniu Beishen is the emperor's bodyguard. Those who can offend him quickly nodded and bowed their heads and said: "So it's Mr. Li, I'm blind, forgive me!"

Li Yide said complacently: "Those who don't know are not guilty, I ask you, do you listen to that kid Gao Bufan, or to me?"

Several government soldiers couldn't help but look at each other. Although they were afraid of Li Yi's identity and background, they knew that he was a useless pig teammate. If they listened to him, they might be cheated that day, and the possibility of returning to Tai Sui alive was slim. , but Mr. Gao is different. Although he is white, he can not only fight, but also has a smart mind, is fair and just, and has responsibility in doing things. He wiped out two teams of stick cavalry with a flick of his fingers. It is also at ease to follow such a smart man, and return to Tai Sui hope is greater.

Although Li Yi's family is prominent, but everyone is now trapped in an enemy country, and their lives are at stake. The so-called identities are not even a fart. bit.

Such a comparison, naturally even a fool would know how to choose, one of the government soldiers coughed lightly and said: "I'm sorry, my subordinate is a little urgent to urinate, so I have to put down two catties." After speaking, he hurriedly hurried to the reeds.

This mansion soldier was smart, he didn't answer Li Yi directly, he just used his urine to escape, but it was a bit exaggerated to say that he lost two catties.

Hearing the words, the rest of the government soldiers hurriedly followed suit and escaped with various excuses. Li Yi was so angry that his lungs almost exploded, cursing and saying: "Reverse and rebellious, these lowly dog ​​slaves are all rebellious, let go! Two catties of urine, you'd think you were a cow, or an elephant, grass!"

Li Jindou and Li Yindou were also very surprised. It seems that the kid surnamed Gao has a high prestige, and he even refused to take refuge with his own son when he revealed his identity.

"My lord, calm down, since those government soldiers don't pay attention, why don't you try those mud-legged militiamen." Li Jindou persuaded.

Li Yi's eyes lit up, for those militiamen were recruited countrymen, they were even lower than the government soldiers, as long as he revealed his identity and offered some benefits to recruit them, these untouchables would definitely rush to hug his thigh.

"Hey, that kid... yes, it's you!" Li shouted, pointing at Liu Gou'er passing by.

Liu Gou'er stopped in his tracks and said disgustedly: "Counsel, what are you calling me for?"

Li Yi almost fell over, and secretly persuaded himself, it's normal for a young muddy leg to be ignorant, so there's no need to get angry.Li Jindou next to him scolded harshly: "Fart, blind your dog eyes, do you know who this master is?"

Li Yindou immediately introduced in a majestic manner: "This is Duke Yi of the current dynasty, the eldest grandson of Li Hun, the general of Zuo Wuwei, Li Yigongzi of Qianniu Beishen."

Liu Gou'er rolled his eyes inexplicably and said, "None of my business!"

Li Jindou and Li Yindou choked and rolled their eyes. Li Yi almost suffered from internal injuries, and said angrily: "Surely you don't have any knowledge, I will give you 100 taels of silver. Forget it, you must have never seen silver before." , I will give you [-] yuan, but you have to listen to me in the future."

Liu Gou'er sneered and said: "I want to buy me for [-] yuan, so stay and buy a coffin for yourself. I advise you not to waste your time. People here only listen to Mr. Gao's orders. Mr. Gao is a real man Yes, I can lead everyone to grab food, can lead everyone to wipe out the stick cavalry, the key is to be able to bring everyone home, even if you are such a coward, no matter how much money you pay, everyone will not follow you to death."

Li Yi was so angry that his face was flushed, and he wanted to touch the knife, but he found that several villagers nearby had surrounded him with cold eyes, all carrying weapons, and some of them bent their bows and set arrows. Shivering, he didn't dare to move anymore, and the second general Humha even threw away all the weapons on his body.

"Counsel!" Liu Gou'er snorted contemptuously, and drove away, and the villagers also walked away, no one paid any attention to Li Yi and the others.

When did Li Yi suffer this kind of insult, but today he was humiliated by a group of mud legs, he was so angry that he was fuming, but he had no choice but to feel a little aggrieved by "tiger" Luo Pingyang, and he said a cruel word bitterly: " When I go back to Tai Sui, I will look good with you, if I don’t get the place back, I will read the name upside down... Huh, beauty?"

Li Yi, who was still full of anger a second ago, suddenly saw a slender young man walking past lightly, his eyes widened, almost falling out.

As the saying goes, in those ten years, a sow was also as good as Diaochan. A big dude like Li Yi usually lived in Luoyang almost every day, leaning against the red and nestling in the green. I've been a woman, I've been suffocating hunger and thirst for a long time, I managed to rob an attractive Korean woman in the town before, and he killed him before I could vent my anger, and at this time I saw the more beautiful Dou Xianniang , Suddenly my mind was full of little tadpoles, I only felt that this girl was like a fairy descending to earth, so I followed subconsciously.

Dou Xianniang just finished counting the number of captured war horses, and was about to report to Gao Bufan. She was in a good mood, brisk on her feet, smiling like a flower, and her slender waist twisted and twisted, making Li Yi's soul go crazy. The twist is gone.

Dou Xianniang didn't notice Li Yi who was following behind, she walked quickly to Gao Bufan and said happily, "Brother Gao, we have captured 42 horses."

Gao Bufan frowned and glanced behind Dou Xianniang. There were only 42 horses, much less than he expected, but there was no way. Most of the horses fell into the swamp, and manpower alone could not be rescued.

Only then did Dou Xianniang notice Li Yi, who was following her tail, and her pretty face suddenly darkened. The expression and eyes shown by the latter made her very disgusted, and at the same time, she was a little vigilant.

As soon as Li saw Dou Xianniang walking in front of Gao Bufan, smiling and feasting, the little bird was like a human being, and in all likelihood, it was a woman surnamed Gao, so he couldn't help being even more jealous, hesitating whether to go forward, and found that Dou Xianniang looked at her, so she raised her chest and stepped forward boldly, thinking that Li Dalang was also a person who walked sideways in Luoyang, so why would he be afraid of being so white.
