At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 188
The trees are burning, the thorns and weeds are burning, and even the earth and stones are burning. There are fires everywhere, and smoke is everywhere, and it spreads and spreads in all directions...

Gao Jianwu had no choice but to order the rear troops to withdraw for five miles, and then they retreated to a safe zone.Looking at the terrifying sea of ​​flames in front of him, Empress Gao Jianwu broke out in a cold sweat. She was glad that she didn't go into the village immediately to check, otherwise she and the soldiers under her command would have been blown to pieces along with the ruins.

Such a terrible explosion, such a terrible fire, obviously cannot be done by human beings.Of course, Gao Jianwu didn't believe that it was the Vulcan who was angry. He suspected that there was a lot of that kind of kerosene buried under the village, and the Sui army used this kind of kerosene to create a big fire, and now they don't know why. , The fire oil under the village was ignited, which caused this terrible explosion.

Gao Jianwu even suspected that the Sui army deliberately set up a mechanism to delay the detonation. If this was the case, then this Sui man named Gao Bufan was too ruthless and terrifying. He clearly wanted to put himself and his subordinates in the same pot. I saved my mind and didn't go into the village immediately to check.

There is no doubt that Gao Jianwu's thinking is correct, but he guessed wrong on one point, and it was a big mistake. Gao Bufan didn't set up any delay mechanism, and the ignition of the oil well was just an accident. A modern traveler, born under the red flag, grew up in the spring breeze, and has a very strong awareness of environmental protection, but he can't do such a bad thing as having a child without a fart like lighting a fuel well.

We must know that once an oil field is ignited, even modern times have no effective means to extinguish it. We can only watch it burn. If there is a large amount of oil underground, it is possible to burn it for hundreds of thousands of years. What a waste, just the exhausted gas does not know how much damage it will cause to the environment, it is simply a crime.

The night was as dark as the stars, and the team of more than 2000 people was still marching south. Suddenly there was a loud noise from behind, and almost everyone turned around to look at it in unison. Surprise instantly climbed onto everyone's faces.

At the end of the plain, a huge fireball broke free from the shackles of the night and rose to the sky. Like a scorching sun, it radiated ten thousand feet of light. Then, the fireball slowly disappeared, but the ground became brighter and brighter. Smoke rises into the sky...

Qin Qiong looked at Gao Bufan in surprise. Everyone walked for more than half an hour, at least ten miles away from the deserted village, but the loud noise was still so shocking. It can be seen how terrible this explosion is. If Gao Jianwu and those If a person enters the village, he may not even find his ashes.

Liu Wuzhou, Luo Shixin, Guo Zisheng, and even Dou Xianniang and Liu Gou'er all looked at Gao Bufan suspiciously. Apart from shock, there was also worship in their eyes. The 8000 people of the enemy army will not hesitate to worship Gao Bufan as a god, just look at the shining eyes of this girl Dou Xianniang.

Gao Bufan shrugged and said honestly: "Don't look at me, I don't know, and it's none of my business."

Everyone was skeptical, stopped to watch the excitement for a while, and then continued southward.Gao Bufan looked back at the half of the sky that had been burned red, and he couldn't help but sighed, what a crime, I just don't know that Gao Jianwu is safe now, he should be very curious and interested in oil, right?
…………

It was late at night, and the wind in the middle of the summer night finally had a hint of coolness, but Pei Xingyan still felt very hot, and the wound on his chest was soaked in by sweat, making it even more painful. He opened his clothes and let the night wind blow, and finally simply Stripped naked, plunged headfirst into the river, after a burst of severe pain, all limbs loosened, and finally felt cool and refreshed.

plop plop...

Seeing this, Su Dingyue and others got off their horses and jumped into the river one after another. Their blood soon stained the water near the bank red.After cleaning the wounds and blood on their bodies, everyone climbed ashore and sat naked on the grass by the bank. Tired war horses were scattered around, greedily grabbing the fat and tender grass by the river.

Pei Xingyan's chest was cut with a long cut. After soaking in the river water, the flesh even turned out a little. It looked very scary, but he didn't seem to care. He chewed the grass with his mouth one by one, and then wiped it on the wound. Others are doing the same thing, some even directly paste the wound with horse manure.

Yesterday's robbery went smoothly, but today it was ambushed. In the end, although we fought hard to break out of the siege, three people were killed on the spot, and almost everyone was wounded. Not long ago, two brothers who were seriously injured also died one after another. Now there are only 35 brothers left.

Pei Xingyan knew very well that he had met his opponent. The leader of the Goguryeo cavalry was not easy. It only took him a day to catch up with him. He even set up an ambush in advance in the village that he might rob. Fortunately, the opponent must have dispersed his troops to ambush him. There are many villages and towns, so the troops allocated to each village and town are not too many, and I can see the opportunity quickly, or I will be dumped by others.

"Xingyan, the other party is a stubborn stubble, will you continue tomorrow?" Su Dingyue said in a deep voice.

Pei Xingyan stood up and shook the water stains on the big bird, pulled out the horse stick stuck on the ground, and said with a grin: "Of course, continue. Since he wants to play, I will play with him."

Su Dingyue frowned and said: "We have delayed him for three days, it should be enough."

Pei Xingyan shook his head and said: "It's not enough, at least he has to be delayed for another three days. The longer the delay, the safer Changqing and the others will be."

"The enemy has two thousand cavalry, and now only one thousand are chasing us. The other thousand cavalry are willing to pursue Mr. Gao. Can they resist Mr. Gao?" a Qianniuwei interjected.

Pei Xingyan smiled and said: "What you should worry about is the Goguryeo cavalry chasing Gao Changqing. Hey, they will be in bad luck after a long time. Let's make a bet if you don't believe me."

"What's the bet?" This Qianniuwei was a little unbelievable. They were a thousand cavalrymen, and they were fighting on a flat terrain. It would be a miracle if they were unlucky. Swamps are not everywhere, let alone a Korean. Of course, there will never be a second time.

Pei Xingyan pointed at his crotch: "Whoever loses, hang a stone below and walk around in front of the brothers."

Everyone roared with laughter, and the Qianniuwei immediately shook his head and waved his hands: "I won't do it, I can't afford to lose this man."

Pei Xingyan laughed, put on his clothes and leather armor again, jumped on the horseback and said, "Let's go, get some food, Ma, I didn't get any food today, so I even took my own food. With foresight, those grains were buried in advance.”

Everyone put on their clothes one after another, and left the riverside wearing Xingyue.
