At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 472 The cooked duck flew?
Being flanked by four sides on an open plain, and with the opponent having [-] cavalry, no matter how elite the troops are, they might not be able to resist. At least Gao Bufan thought he had no such ability, so he decisively ordered all the soldiers to throw them away. With unnecessary things on my body, I only carried three days of dry food and headed south at full speed.

Now Gao Bufan's only advantage is to know the enemy's encirclement plan in advance. If he can rush out before the opponent completes the encirclement, he will be able to escape. Otherwise, the entire army may be wiped out.

A group of soldiers obviously knew that the situation was critical, so they ran forward with all their might.

Gao Bufan rode a big green horse in the lead, while Bai Ying Wanli acted as a guide above his head, leading everyone to avoid the encircling enemy forces.

Although Bai Ying Wanli has been trained, he is just a beast after all. He just leads Gao Bufan and others to a place where no one is there, and doesn't care whether there is a road for him to travel in this direction.

Fortunately, the terrain here is flat, and there are wheat fields everywhere. There are no mountains and rivers blocking the way, and everyone doesn't care about so many. They just trample over the wheat fields, and occasionally encounter irrigation canals, and they can easily cross them. After all, a wheat field full of wheat is more difficult than a road, so it has a certain impact on the speed of marching.

At this moment, about [-] miles away from the place where Gao Bufan and the others were resting just now, there is a cavalry galloping along the official road, about two thousand cavalry, their hooves sound like thunder, and the sand is billowing.

I saw a flag raised high in the front of this cavalry, with two big characters "Wagang" embroidered on it, and there was a general flag with black characters on a red background beside it, and a big "Li" character fluttering in the wind. It is majestic!
Pu Shan Gong Li Mi! ! !
That's right, it was Pu Shangong Li Mi who led the cavalry, and he was at the forefront of the team at this time. On the left was his confidant Wang Bodang, and on the right was Cai Jiande.

I only heard that Cai Jiande laughed triumphantly while riding his horse and said: "It is said that Gao Changqing is a general, but in my opinion, it is nothing more than that. .”

Wang Bodang glanced at Li Mi who was still cautious, and reminded him coldly: "Cai Jiande, I advise you not to underestimate this Gao Changqing, otherwise you will die in an ugly way."

Cai Jiande's complexion turned dark, and he was very unhappy. He was about to retort, but Li Mi said in a low voice: "Shut up."

Cai Jiande had no choice but to swallow his words back, and said to himself, "I'll catch up later and chop off Gao Changqing's head, and see if you, Uncle Wang, have anything else to say."

Hey, the reason why Cai Jiande is so entrusted is because he has never suffered under Gao Bufan. Li Mi and Wang Bodang know each other very well. When they assisted Yang Xuangan in the rebellion, Gao Bufan first destroyed Li Mi and took Zhuojun Then they ruined their good deeds in Liyang City and Linqingguan, and finally directly smashed their conspiracy to seize the city with internal and external cooperation at Hui'anmen in Luoyang.

It can be said that the failure of Yang Xuangan's rebellion had at least half of the relationship with Gao Bufan, so Li Mi did not dare to underestimate Gao Bufan, even in the current situation, as long as he did not completely defeat Gao Bufan for a moment , Li Mi will maintain a cautious attitude.

For the cavalry, it took less than half an hour to reach the twenty-mile road, so soon, Li Mi led two thousand cavalry to the place where Gao Bufan and the others rested before, and found a large number of discarded items. A scout pegasus who was exploring the way ahead came back and reported loudly: "Report to Pu Monkey, a large amount of lodging wheat was found five miles ahead. It seems that the Sui army did not follow the official route, but marched from the wheat field."

Li Mi's complexion changed slightly, and he hurriedly clamped the horse's belly, and rushed forward. Sure enough, he found a newly stepped "wheat road" about five miles ahead, and there were still a lot of horseshoe tracks and human footprints in the wheat field. Obviously, the accompanying army did not take the official route, but trampled across the wheat field and headed due south.

"No, our plan has been seen through!" Li Mi blurted out.

Cai Jiande said in astonishment, "How can you see that?"

Wang Bodang couldn't help but contemptuously said: "Sure enough, the limbs are well-developed and the brain is simple. If the surname Gao didn't see through our plan, how could he suddenly stop chasing Wang Xuba? And instead of going on a good official path, he wanted to go to the wheat field , Do they have short legs? Or are they copper-skinned iron feet, are they not afraid of being cut by wheat awns?"

Cai Jiande couldn't help but blushed from the sarcasm, but he didn't bother to refute at this time, and said in surprise: "No reason, how did the surname Gao see through our plan?"

Li Mi is also full of doubts at the moment. He really can't think of any mistakes that Gao Bufan saw through in advance. Moreover, the direction Gao Bufan walked in happened to completely avoid the other three groups of people. Can't see it?

Thinking of this, Li Mi subconsciously looked up at the sky, summoned three scouts, and carefully ordered: "You respectively inform Wang Xuba, Dou Jiande, and Gao Shida that the Sui army is going south, please take them to the south. Attack from east and west, we must stop the Sui army, if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to kill Gao Changqing in the future."

The three scouts galloped out immediately after receiving the order!

Cai Jiande licked his lips and said: "It seems that Gao Changqing does have two brushes, Pu Shangong, so what should we do now?"

Li Mi said calmly: "Of course we will continue to pursue. Fifty miles to the south is the Jiaohe River. Gao Changqing has no ferry, so he can't cross the river. Dou Jiande and Gao Shida are flanked by the upper and lower reaches of the Jiaohe River. Let's lead the cavalry to chase after him. Gao Changqing will never escape."

Cai Jiande said happily after hearing the words: "It's good if you can't run away, wait until you catch up, and watch me chop off this kid's head and present it to Pu Shangong."

Wang Bodang sneered, and Cai Jiande said unhappily: "Wang Bodang, why are you sneering, looking down on me?"

Uncle Wang sneered and said, "It's not that I look down on you, it's just that I don't like you. Gao Changqing can open a four-stone bow, and can escape from the assassination of the master of Jinghuashui. I'm afraid Cai Jiande's little ability is not enough."

Cai Jiande's heart trembled a little, but he was very upset to be ridiculed, so he retorted: "We are half a catty, I can't do it, can you?"

Wang Bodang still wanted to argue, but Li Mi said a little impatiently: "Instead of bickering here, you might as well save your energy and catch up with Gao Changqing to take Gao Changqing's head." After speaking, he clipped his horse's belly and chased into the wheat field.

Wang Bodang and Cai Jiande glared at each other coldly, and at the same time chased forward with their horses on their stomachs. Immediately, two thousand riders also entered the wheat field like a tide, and chased along the "wheat road".

At this time, an eagle screamed suddenly above his head. Li Mi raised his head and glanced at the white flying eagle hovering in the sky. A few meters below Flying Eagle, he exhausted himself and fell.

But even so, the white eagle was obviously frightened, and flew south with a loud cry.

Li Mi looked thoughtfully at the direction in which the white eagle disappeared, feeling vaguely that the white eagle was strange.
