At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 530: Line girl?

Qin Shubao led his men and horses to chase to the water's edge, found that Dou Jiande and others had boarded the boat, and immediately ordered to shoot arrows, but the reeds in Gaojipo were lush, and the boat was light, and it quickly plunged into the reeds and disappeared under full speed. , so a meal of random arrows only shot a lonely.

Qin Shubao was obviously not willing to let Dou Jiande go like this. Seeing that there were still several small boats moored on the shore, he jumped into the boat and led dozens of soldiers to continue chasing him. As soon as he entered Gaojibo Zhonglixu, suddenly there were shouts of killing Suddenly, an ambush army emerged from the densely packed reeds, and the strings sounded one after another in an instant, and arrows rained down.

Qin Shubao hurriedly wielded his mace to sweep away the sharp arrows, and at the same time ordered to retreat along the road. The Sui soldiers hurriedly rowed back, and arrows fell into the water constantly. Drenched chicken.

Qin Shubao tried to reach out to save a brother who fell into the water, but a sharp arrow flew past his cheek, immediately drawing a bloodstain, the pain was burning.

"General Qin, be careful." A soldier hastily stepped forward and raised a shield to block Qin Shubao's body, but the seven or eight Sui soldiers who fell into the water were quickly shot to death, and the river was covered with blood.

Qin Shubao couldn't help but his eyes cracked, and when he looked up, he saw that the archers emerging from the reeds were all women wearing flower headscarves, and the bows they used were also short bows of five buckets. No wonder the strength is so weak. Shi Gong, I am afraid that he has been tricked just now.

"General, these should be the women's army under Hong Niangzi's command." A soldier said through gritted teeth.

The effective killing range of the short bow is only about 30 meters. Qin Shubao and the others quickly retreated to a safe distance, but they were also very embarrassed, losing a boat and a dozen brothers.

Qin Shubao was stunned suddenly, and looked suspiciously at the waterway ahead, because several fast boats were coming out at this time, and the boats were full of female soldiers wearing flower headscarves, and a heroic figure stood on the bow of one of the boats. A sassy and cold-faced female general.

I saw this female general with a slim figure, delicate eyebrows, pretty eyes, a bright red mole between her eyebrows, a straight nose, and a beautiful small mouth like a water chestnut. On the tip of the horns, the face is cold, the pretty eyes are full of evil, it is cold and rusty.

This female general was naturally Dou Xianniang, she moved her left hand slightly together, ordered the warship to stop advancing, and confronted Qin Shubao from a distance.

"Miss Liu?" Qin Shubao couldn't help blurting out.

Dou Xianniang's eyes fixed upon hearing the words, and her complexion changed slightly. She obviously recognized Qin Shubao. They fought side by side in Goguryeo back then, so they were quite familiar with each other. Even though it was many years later, they still recognized Qin Shubao at a glance.

At that time, Dou Xianniang claimed to be surnamed Liu in order to hide her identity, so Qin Shubao never knew that Liu Xianniang was actually Dou Jiande's daughter Dou Xianniang.

Dou Xianniang quickly calmed down, and said coldly, "What about Miss Liu and Miss Tao? My aunt's surname is Dou. If General Sui doesn't want to die, get out of Gaojipo immediately."

"What an arrogant female bandit, general, we can go around here to avoid their archers, and see how long she can be arrogant." A soldier suggested.

Qin Qiong hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Get out!"

"General Qin, do you just let Dou Jiande go like this?" the soldiers said unwillingly.

Qin Qiong frowned and said: "Since Dou Jiande has left behind, other dangerous places in the waterways must also be guarded. We are not familiar with the place, and we will only suffer losses if we chase after it. Before we go deep, there is still time to withdraw."

All the soldiers felt reasonable when they heard the words, so they returned along the original road and exited Gaojibo.The women's army couldn't help being disappointed when they saw this, and they scolded Qin Shubao for being useless, and he couldn't even beat a woman (even if he wasn't fooled).

Dou Xianniang felt a little uneasy in her heart, waved her hand silently, and led the female soldiers back to the depths of the reeds.

Qin Shubao withdrew from Gaojibo, abandoned the boat and landed, looked at the vast water in front of him, and sighed regretfully: "Gao Shida is nothing, but this Dou Jiande is a character, letting him escape this time is undoubtedly letting the tiger go back to the mountain. "

One of the soldiers agreed deeply: "Indeed, Dou Jiande was too cunning. When he learned of Gao Shida's defeat, he resolutely abandoned the city without any hesitation, and even prepared the way out in advance."

"It can be seen that Dou Jiande is not optimistic about Gao Shida. He is expected to be unable to win, so he was ready to escape early. Therefore, compared with Dou Jiande, Gao Shida is not a star. , I'm afraid that the current momentum will not lose to Li Mi." Qin Shubao said in a deep voice.

Besides, Gao Shida left the battlefield immediately after the defeat, and fled back to Changhe County with thousands of remnants, only to find that the building was already empty. Run away, are you still a brother?

However, Gao Shida didn't have time to be angry at this time, and his life was the most important thing, so he fled to Gaojibo in a hurry, but before he could escape to the water's edge, he ran into Qin Shubao who had come back. At the end, Gao Shida, who was trapped in a tight siege, was completely desperate, and he couldn't help sighing to the sky: "I regret it, Brother Jiande, Brother Yu didn't listen to your advice, which led to today's fiasco. See you brothers face to face."

Gao Shida was also stubborn, pulled out his waist knife and chopped off his own head.

As soon as Gao Shida died, the remnant soldiers fled and surrendered, and the battle soon ended.

Qin Shubao stepped forward immediately, and found that Gao Shida's headless body was still sitting firmly on the horse's back, he couldn't help but respectfully said: "He is a tough guy."

Qin Shubao dismounted from his horse, saluted Gao Shida's headless corpse solemnly, and then carried him down to put him in place.

…………

When Gao Bufan "arrived" with 3000 people, the battle was completely over, and Yang Yichen's men were cleaning the battlefield and counting the prisoners.

Lu Sheng's gains are obviously quite a lot. There are more than 300 horses alone, which made the soldiers under Yang Yichen's command so jealous that they couldn't help but want to snatch them.

But Lu Sheng didn't care about these things, and pulled all the trophies back to his camp. If you dare to snatch you, just try it, I will cut it right.

The soldiers under Yang Yichen's command were still eager to move, but seeing Gao Changqing, who was left behind in Zhuo County, arrived with [-] fresh troops, they immediately became honest, and they dared not covet the spoils in Lu Sheng's camp anymore.

"Hey, my lord came just in time. If it was later, those guys might rush into the camp and grab our horses." Lu Sheng said with a smile.

Gao Bufan laughed and said: "You kid actually snatched so many war horses, it seems that Gao Shida even lost his pants this time."

Lu Sheng said: "That guy just ran as fast as he could, otherwise he would lose his life."

As a result, as soon as the words were spoken, a scout ran over to report: "My lord, the news from over there is that the bandit chief Gao Shida has been crowned, and Changhe County has also been recovered."

"So fast?" Lu Sheng blurted out in surprise.

After the battle here, Lu Sheng received the order to stand by, so he didn't participate in the pursuit. He didn't expect that Changhe County would be breached before dark. Isn't this too fast?

Gao Bufan frowned and asked, "Is it Dou Jiande who stayed behind in Changhe County?"

Lu Sheng nodded and said: "It should be him. It's really strange. Dou Jiande's leader still has two brushes. Last time in Hejian County, his subordinates wanted to take advantage of his retreat, but they didn't." If you find an opportunity, if Dou Jiande defends the city, you shouldn't lose the city so quickly, right?"

A trace of uneasiness arose in Gao Bufan's heart, and he didn't know if Xian Niang was in the city.

At this time, someone shouted loudly: "May I ask where is Mr. Gao who stayed behind in Zhuojun?"

Gao Bufan followed the prestige and saw a well-dressed general approaching on horseback, he raised his voice and said, "I am here."

The general came to Gao Bufan and got off his horse, respectfully saluted: "The last general is under Lord Yang's command, his surname is Hu, Lord Yang please come over to the camp to see Lord Gao."

Gao Bufan calmly said: "General Hu, please lead the way."

This General Hu remounted his horse and led the way. Lu Sheng was going to accompany Gao Bufan, but the latter stopped him with a wink, because if both of them left, there would be no one to command the camp. , would be quite passive.

Let’s talk about Gao Bufan entering Yang Yichen’s camp under the guidance of this General Hu. He happened to meet a group of soldiers carrying a dead body passing by. He looked familiar and asked, “Is that man Gao Shida?”

General Hu smiled and said: "Master Gao has good eyesight. Gao Shida wanted to escape into Gaojibo, but was caught up and surrounded by our people, but this guy was so stubborn that he cut off his own head. Our people respect him It was a man, so I took his body and sewed his head back."

While speaking, everyone had already arrived in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, and they saw Yang Yichen with all the white hair leading the crowd waiting there.

Gao Bufan quickly got off his horse, stepped forward to greet him and said: "What's the virtue and the ability of this officer, to actually work for Mr. Yang to come out to greet him in person."

Yang Yichen was full of white hair, old, supported by his own soldiers, looked very weak, and said in a hoarse voice: "Master Gao is my pillar minister in the future of the Sui Dynasty. I should have welcomed you out of the camp gate, but why have you been ill recently? I feel unwell, so I can only welcome them out of the tent."

Gao Bufan hurriedly said: "Master Yang has flattered you, I am ashamed to be an official, and this time I came late, I couldn't help you, I am really sorry."

Yang Yichen said with a smile as if pointing it out: "It's good that Mr. Gao can come, and the soldiers under Mr. Gao's command are powerful and brave, and they have gained a lot. Hey, by the way, Captain Lu did not come with Mr. Gao." ?”

Gao Bufan shook his head and smiled wryly: "That kid is a bit stingy, worried that if he is not around, the generals under Lord Yang's command will come to snatch his spoils, so he guards in the camp."

Yang Yichen couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "It's not enough, let's go in, let's go in and talk." After speaking, he turned and went to the big tent.

Gao Bufan was about to follow up when he suddenly saw a group of soldiers escorting several female prisoners passing by, but they were all wearing black hoods and couldn't see their faces clearly. One of them was wearing a red cloak, and his figure was similar to that of a thread girl. very similar,
Gao Bufan couldn't help but his complexion changed slightly, and he forcibly suppressed the urge to rush forward to save people.

At this moment Yang Yichen turned around suddenly and said, "By the way, how many soldiers and horses did Master Gao bring this time?"

Gao Bufan was stunned, and pretended to look away as if nothing had happened, and said: "There are six thousand elite soldiers in total, and the rebel Luo Yi outside the pass is eyeing them. I dare not mobilize too many people."
