At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 174 Panic

Li Yindou was really crazy. He hid in the corner of the camp where the bonfire couldn't reach, grinning and looking at the passers-by, as if a tiger had his body on his body. It was a bit creepy, and everyone subconsciously stayed away.

Liu Wuzhou threw a piece of firewood over to test it out, but Li Yindou let out a low growl, grabbed the piece of firewood and gnawed fiercely, his mouth was full of blood after a while, and he was in a terrifying state.

"This kid is really crazy." Ruan Xiaofu shrank his neck and said regretfully.

"It's really unlucky for Li Dalang." Ruan Dagui was also very regretful, he thought that he would be able to eat and drink by attaching himself to Li Yi after returning to the Sui Dynasty, but he was a short-lived ghost.

Liu Wuzhou also felt that it was a pity. In fact, the Li family was a good way to climb up, but with Li Dalang's death, this way was cut off, but he was a little strange. Not long ago, Pei Xingyan told everyone to beware of tigers, and to leave the camp with companions. As a result, Li Dalang's master and servant were devoured by tigers, which was too much of a coincidence.

At this time, Pei Xingyan happened to pass by and walked out of the camp. Liu Wuzhou hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile, "General Pei is leaving the camp?"

Pei Xingyan nodded and said, "Changqing asked me to talk to Guo Zisheng and Dewey about something."

Liu Wuzhou hurriedly said: "There are fierce tigers in the forest, it's not safe to move at night, why don't you bring a few more people to protect General Pei Zhouquan?"

Pei Xingyan waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm not a waste like Li Dalang, you just need to guard the camp, maybe that tiger is still waiting for an opportunity to move around, let the guards wake up their spirits."

Liu Wu Yilin said: "This subordinate obeys orders."

Pei Xingyan got on his horse with a spear in his hand, and left the camp with his two cavalry brothers. At this time, a tiger roared from the depths of the dense forest. Although the distance felt far away, Liu Wuzhou still made a sudden move, and quickly ordered someone to take him to the camp. The fire in the camp burned more vigorously.

Pei Xingyan thought about it, and brought two more men. The tigress was really scary. He and Gao Bufan didn't think much of it when they went to the tiger's den to steal the tiger cub, but when he saw the two lumps of rotten meat from Li Yi's master and servant , Only then did I understand how terrifying the tigress protecting her cubs is.

There will be no pies in the sky, and naturally there will be no tiger cubs. The little tiger cub that just rolled to Li Yi's feet is the masterpiece of Gao Bufan and Pei Xingyan.

Gao Bufan's six senses are extremely sensitive, both eyesight and sense of smell are far superior to ordinary people, he easily found the tiger's den, and planned to lure Li Yi's master and servant to the tiger's den, but unexpectedly found that there were tiger cubs in the tiger's den, So they asked Pei Xingyan to cooperate, first lured the tigress away, and then took away the cubs.

The tigress went back to the lair without seeing the cub, and immediately went mad, following the scent to find it, and Gao Bufan had already placed the cub on the path that Li Yi's master and servant passed by in advance by relying on his brilliant lightness skills. To die, Li Yi actually lifted the tiger cub up, the tiger cub screamed in pain, and the tigress rushed over after hearing the sound, so Li Yi's master and servant were in tragedy.

Tigers are unreasonable beasts, and there is no reason to attack people. Therefore, Li Yi's master and servant died tragically, and they can only blame themselves for their bad luck. No one realized that this was actually a precisely positioned murder. It is estimated that even Li Yindou, who is crazy, has no doubt that this is an accident.

About half an hour later, Pei Xingyan returned to the camp. Just as Gao Bufan expected, Guo Zisheng and De Wei agreed that if everyone fell into the encirclement of the Goguryeo army, Gao Bufan would be in charge of the unified command to break through, but they also put forward two conditions , first, not to be the cannon fodder for rushing to the front, and second, Gao Bufan has to take care of himself.

These two conditions were not too much, Gao Bufan readily agreed, and there was enough food for the time being. As for the charge, the cavalry would naturally be the first, and it was not up to Guo Zisheng, De Wei and others, and Gao Bufan could not trust their combat power.

Ever since, the matter has been settled in this way, and now we are waiting for the scouts who have been scattered to return.Tonight is doomed to sleepless, Gao Bufan can sleep for several days, but ordinary soldiers can't, so except for those on duty, everyone else fell asleep.

Time passed by, and it was not far from dawn, and the expected sound of horseshoes still did not sound. Pei Xingyan wiped his horse over and over again, stood up and inspected the camp again and again, and his anxiety was palpable. .

Half an hour passed, and there was a lot of fire in the distance, and there were only a few figures. Gao Bufan knew that Qin Qiong and the others were about to set off to cross the river, and he, who had always been calm, couldn't help becoming a little impetuous at this moment, and climbed up a tall tree near the camp, Looking around in the wild.

Just when Gao Bufan was about to come down from the tree in disappointment, he suddenly saw a faint fire moving in the darkness to the south. In just a few breaths, the fire changed from the size of a bean to the size of a marble. Gradually, the fire became brighter and brighter. As they got closer, they could faintly hear the sound of horseshoes.

Gao Bufan was overjoyed, he flew down from the tall tree and said: "The south side is back, Liu Wuzhou, take someone out of the woods to meet him."

"Decree!" Liu Wuzhou hurriedly led fifty brothers under his command to greet him out of the woods holding torches.

After about two cups of tea, Liu Wuzhou brought two scouts back to the camp, and saw that the two scouts looked tired and embarrassed, one of them was injured by an arrow, but luckily it was not fatal.

Pei Xingyan asked in surprise: "But we met the enemy, why are there only two of you left?"

Pei Xingyan sent eight groups of scouts in eight directions, four people in each group, and now only two people from this group came back, one of them was wounded by an arrow, the situation is not good.

The two scouts nodded red-eyed and said, "We found the enemy's camp [-] miles away from here. We planned to approach the camp for reconnaissance, but we didn't expect to encounter the enemy's secret sentry. Zhou Jinshui and Hu Dayong who led the way were shot on the spot. dead, we quickly turned around and almost escaped."

Pei Xingyan's face was ugly. Originally, there were not many cavalry under his command. He lost two cavalry and injured one cavalry. Naturally, he was extremely heartbroken. However, Pei Xingyan was even more heartbroken. Three people were broken and three people were injured.

Although there were still four scouts who did not return, the situation was clear. As Gao Bufan expected, the Goguryeo people were indeed hunting, and now this forest was surrounded by their army.

At this time, Qin Qiong, Guo Zisheng and Du Wei's three Sui troops had already moved hundreds of wooden squalls to the river, and more than 2000 people were ready to cross the river.

"Brother Qin, Gao Bufan didn't send anyone, let's go, it's getting late, and it will be dawn in half an hour." Luo Shixin urged.

Qin Qiong frowned, he had clearly heard the sound of horseshoes, probably the scouts had come back, but after so long, Gao Bufan hadn't sent anyone, could it be that the scouts he sent out didn't find anything?
After waiting for a while, Qin Qiong was about to set sail, when a group of people ran out from the woods, the leader was Liu Wuzhou, and shouted loudly: "General Qin, General Guo, and General Du wait a moment, the scouts we sent have returned, the situation is urgent, Mr. Gao invites all generals to go to the camp to discuss breaking out."

Qin Qiong, Luo Shi and the others looked at each other in surprise, and quickly ordered to stop crossing the river. Everyone retreated to the woods temporarily, waiting for the next order.

Qin Qiong, Guo Zisheng, Du Wei and others hurried to Gao Bufan's camp, the matter was of great importance, and they didn't think Gao Bufan dared to lie about this matter.

At the same time, in the darkness on the other side of the Liao River, [-] Goguryeo troops were waiting in battle, and the leader was none other than the Goguryeo General Gao Jianwu.

Gao Jianwu stared at the flames on the other side with piercing eyes, and said with a confident smile, "Those Sui people must have thought that it would be safe to cross this river, but unexpectedly this side of the Liao River is the hell where they will die."

A military officer next to him smiled and flattered him: "The general is planning and planning, and everything is under control. The thousands of Sui dogs on the other side of the river will soon become dead dogs."

Gao Jianwu stroked the long beard under his jaw and said: "General Ben's order, the upstream and downstream warships are ready to launch when all the Sui people are on the raft and ready to dock here. Get twice the result with half the effort, and wipe them out!"

"The general is wise." The military attache flattered again and was about to send someone to pass the order.

Gao Jianwu's complexion changed at this time, and he gave a little puzzled sigh and said: "Wait a minute, the situation has changed."

The military officer was stunned for a moment, and seeing Gao Jianwu staring at the other side of the river with a puzzled expression, he also looked away, only to see that the fire on the other side gradually disappeared, and the darkness returned, and he couldn't help but wonder: "What's going on, Are those Sui dogs planning to cross the river in the dark?"

Gao Jianwu frowned, fearing that the other party had discovered the clues and canceled the crossing of the river. If this was the case, it would be troublesome, because the encirclement circle on the other side had not had time to narrow to a certain range. If the Sui army in the woods When it is time to break through, it is possible to slip through the gap.

"Immediately send a fast boat across the river to check, and be careful not to disturb them." Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice, and he obviously became nervous when he was confident.

Nearly [-] Sui soldiers were driven together. If they could not be wiped out, they would be let go. There would be endless troubles, so Gao Jianwu was a little panicked.

Soon, a light clipper boat sneaked across the darkness to the opposite bank.
