At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 189 The more dangerous place

Chapter 189 The more dangerous place
As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. Jin Gongcheng is from Liaodong, and he is naturally much more familiar with the local terrain than Pei Xingyan, an outsider. He has dozens of times more cavalry than Pei Xingyan. Brush, the misleading traces Pei Xingyan deliberately left did not fool him. On the contrary, Jin Gongcheng quickly grasped the pattern of Pei Xingyan and others attacking villages and towns, and ambushed cavalry near those villages and towns that might be attacked in advance. He almost took Pei Xingyan to the rescue, but fortunately, Pei Xingyan reacted quickly, and when he realized that he was in the ambush, he immediately led all the brothers to fight their way out, and escaped the catastrophe.

Although the success fell short in the end, Jin Gongcheng was not discouraged. He was confident that since he could trap the Sui cavalry once, he would be able to trap the Sui cavalry for the second time, and finally wiped it out.

At this moment, Jin Gongcheng is carefully pondering the map in his hand. He has determined the approximate location of the Sui cavalry, and has set up checkpoints at every key intersection on the periphery. Next, he only needs to hunt within the range of the checkpoints. That's enough, in other words, this Sui army cavalry has become a turtle in the urn, and cannot escape from his palm.

Jin Gongcheng beckoned, and called the five centurions who were still obeying orders, and began to dispatch troops with confidence.

Jin Gongcheng had already made up his mind, he had to wipe out this small group of Sui army cavalry today, he had already wasted four days for the stragglers with dozens of cavalry, he didn't want to waste any more, he had to fight quickly.

"Report, an urgent letter from the general!"

Jin Gongcheng had just finished mobilizing troops and generals, and the five centurions under his command were about to set off to carry out the plan, when a messenger with a flag on his back rode to him on a fast horse.

Jin Gongcheng didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly took a look at the letter from the messenger's hand, his complexion changed drastically, with an expression of disbelief, he hastily read the letter again carefully, and finally heaved a long sigh.

All the centurions couldn't help looking at each other, they couldn't read, and one of them couldn't help asking: "General Jin, what did the general say in his letter?"

Jin Gongcheng said solemnly, "Liu Zaishang's entire army was annihilated, and he was beheaded by the general."

As soon as these words came out, all the centurions turned pale in shock. This...how is it possible?Liu Zaishang had a thousand cavalry under his command, but the entire army was wiped out. Although the Sui army had more than 2000 men, they were all soldiers. Even if Liu Zaishang lost to the enemy, the entire army would not be wiped out, right?
Jin Gongcheng was also very puzzled, because the letter from General Gao Jianwu did not detail the reasons for the annihilation of Liu Zaishang's entire army, but what is certain is that the Sui army definitely used some kind of trick, otherwise it would be impossible to wipe out a thousand-man cavalry. Even if the strength of the Sui army was doubled, it would not be possible. Alas, Liu Zaishang was really careless!
"Give me an order to immediately withdraw all the people guarding the intersections." Jin Gongcheng ordered helplessly.

"Withdraw?" The five centurions once again looked at each other in dismay. They managed to capture the Sui army cavalry, and they were almost trembling for the last time. Withdrawing the troops at this time, wouldn't it be a waste of all previous efforts. Are you kidding?
Jin Gongcheng explained helplessly: "more than 2000, the main force of the Sui army headed south all the way, burning, killing and looting along the way, which was extremely destructive. The general suspected that the opponent's goal was to pawn the city, and ordered me to rush to intercept it. There must be no mistakes! "

The centurions couldn't help being startled, Ai's mother, it seems that the collapse of the Sui army has really become a trend, and they are no longer stragglers who were driven all over the mountains, and they dared to attack the city. Terrible!
At present, no one has any objections anymore. The harm caused by a mere dozens of cavalry is definitely no more than that of a team of more than 2000 people. What's more, this enemy army has just wiped out a thousand-man cavalry of its own side, showing terrifying destruction. If there is no force, it must be eliminated immediately. In comparison, the mere dozens of Sui cavalry have become insignificant.

About an hour later, the people Jin Gongcheng released to strangle the various checkpoints came back one after another, assembled into a group, and then galloped away to the city of Zuben in the south.

Pei Xingyan was stationed on a small slope with a horse in his hand, and behind him were the 34 Qi brothers. Everyone, including Pei Xingyan, had a dazed look on their faces at the moment. You look at me and I look at you.

"Hey, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the stick army? Why did they all run south suddenly?" Su Dingyue muttered, but he was inexplicably relieved.

Pei Xingyan was also puzzled, the other party had already blocked all the intersections, and he was about to force his way in, but the Goguryeo cavalry suddenly withdrew and ran south in a hurry, what's the situation?
"Boss Pei, could it be that the stick cavalrymen ran away with their tails between their legs because they were afraid of being killed by us?" A brother who felt good about himself said proudly, and immediately received many contemptuous looks.

Pei Xingyan nodded, and said seriously: "It's possible, why don't we catch up and kill his mother again, so we can't be defeated?"

The man who felt good about himself shrunk his neck and said with a smile: "Let's forget it, God has a good life, so it's okay to let them go."

Everyone almost fell down, but there were relaxed smiles on their faces. Their mission this time was considered complete, and it felt so good to be alive. Just an hour ago, they thought they were doomed this time.

"Xingyan, where shall we go next?" Su Dingyue asked, and all the cavalry also suppressed their smiles, and all looked at Pei Xingyan, waiting for him to make up his mind.

"Go to Liaodong City!" Pei Xingyan held his horse tightly and said with a firm expression. This was the agreement he made with Gao Bufan when the soldiers were divided into two groups that day. As long as they got rid of the pursuers, they would rush to Liaodong City to meet up.

Everyone couldn't help being startled, Su Dingyue was dumbfounded and said: "Xing Yan, you are not crazy, are you? Go to... Liaodong City to give away the head?"

Pei Xingyan said vigorously: "Have you ever heard a saying that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is?"

Everyone shook their heads to express that they hadn't heard of it, and asked which bastard said it, and they were going to beat him out of the shit.

"I made an appointment with Gao Changqing. After getting rid of the pursuers, we will meet at Liaodong City. There are not only boats but also pontoon bridges at the ferry outside the city. You don't need to use the ready-made ones for nothing." Pei Xingyan said.

Everyone immediately knew that it was the famous saying said by that "bastard", so they raised their hands and feet in favor without even thinking about it. Since Mr. Gao said that the more dangerous the place is, the safer it is, they must be right.

Ever since, a group of 35 riders galloped northwest without hesitation, heading straight for Liaodong City in the lower reaches of the Liaohe River.

Although Pei Xingyan didn't know why the Goguryeo cavalry suddenly withdrew, it must have something to do with Gao Bufan. Hey, the enemy retreated at such a critical moment, and withdrew so quickly, they should have suffered at the hands of that kid, maybe Still suffered a great loss.
