"It's like this on the battlefield." Yang Sheng asked his men to bring food and grass, "It wasn't so cruel in Songzhou back then. The most dangerous time was at Yanmen Pass, when hundreds of thousands of Turks pressed in. That battle The corpses of the dead were all over the Yanmen Pass, and under the action of firearms, it was not a war but a massacre, it was all for survival, and everyone was forced."

Chapter 374 Game ([-])

The red girl walked all the way to a field, where Gu Qing, Su Dingfang, and Cheng Chumo's army were resting. Yang Sheng whispered, "Come with us."

"You go in, I won't go." Hong Fu Nu looked at the army in front of her, "I don't want to appear in front of too many people."

Yang Sheng led the people all the way back to the barracks. Cheng Chumo said happily when he saw the food and grass, "You succeeded in robbing the camp?"

"No!" Yang Sheng stopped and took a water bag beside him and poured cold water into his mouth, "They are all on guard, and the food and grass are protected under the city walls, so it's not easy for us to attack."

Shangguanyi felt relieved when he saw the carts of food and grass. Having food and grass made the soldiers feel more at ease. At this time, unity in the army is the most important thing. Su Dingfang also came back, and he sat down tiredly and gasped for breath. , "The water in the Yalu River has receded a lot. Li Ji has arrived at the opposite bank with his soldiers and horses. It looks like he is ready to cross the river."

"Then you can take the next step." Gu Qing looked at the map.

This is the temporary garrison of the Tang army. This place is in the lee of a small cliff, so it is not easy to be found. Gu Qing watched the soldiers making bows and arrows. Yang Sheng walked step by step, "I met the red girl .”

"How is she?" Gu Qing picked up an arrow.

"Instead, she reminded me that Xie Baliang was on guard." Yang Sheng whispered, "You said that this red-haired girl was wandering around Pingyao City, and she was searching hard to find Xie Baliang. This Xie Baliang Do you really know the whereabouts of the bearded man?"

"How do I know." Gu Qing walked to the other side, where the soldiers were making smoke bombs, "I think this Xie Baliang has been frantically probing on the verge of death, regardless of whether he knows the whereabouts of the bearded man, Hong Fu No woman will let him go."

"I've also heard about Hongfu girl's life experience back then." Yang Sheng said in a low voice, "The revenge of killing my father is irreconcilable! If it were me, I would do the same."

They are all the secrets of the previous dynasty, and the old grudges have not stopped for more than 20 years.

In Pingyao City, Xie Baliang listened to the soldiers report, "Is there no one in Liaodong City?"

"Yes, military adviser!" The soldier reported, "They have abandoned the city and ambushed us."

Abandoned the city?Xie Baliang thought about whether he could take back Liaodong City again, "Where did you get ambushed?"

"It's on the main road between Liaodong City and Pingju City."

"They were prepared for a long time and knew that we would go to besiege the city." Xie Baliang thought to himself.

"Report!" Another soldier ran over to report in a panic, "Military Master, the food and grass sent by Baekje have been intercepted."

"When did it happen!" Xie Baliang suddenly looked back at the map, "When did they bypass our rear?"

"Report!" Another soldier came to report, "A large number of Tang troops have appeared near the Yalu River, and about 20 of them are preparing to cross the river."

One news after another stimulated Xie Baliang, none of which was good news, and he overthrew what was in front of him violently, "How can this battle be fought? Immediately send 3 soldiers and horses to wipe out the [-] Tang soldiers. Ma, no matter what the price is! Capture the opponent’s general alive.”

"Yes!" A soldier immediately replied and went to work.

Xie Baliang knew it was an irrational decision to send [-] troops to find the hiding enemy army. If the opponent hides all the way, maybe they are welcoming the army. This is to get rid of Gu Qing.

Gu Qing's firearms can be used as an army of [-] soldiers!

Yuan Gai Suwen was ready to go to the ground, "The situation is not good?"

"Prepare for a big battle. The 20 troops behind the Tang army are about to arrive, and there will be a fierce battle!" Xie Baliang whispered, "Collect soldiers and horses, and prepare for the big battle with all your strength."

"Okay!" Yuan Gai Su Wen nodded.

Pingyao City dispatched [-] soldiers and horses. On this side, Gu Qing, Su Dingfang, and Cheng Chumo dispersed the army again, and marched towards Pingyao City under the cover of night. They were scattered in three directions. Tang Jun, who was running at full strength, came all the way to Pingyao City. the rear of the city.

Sure enough, Su Dingfang was right, the other side had already sent soldiers and horses to search, but they were searching in front, and he had already circled to the back of Ping Yao.

In the dark of night, Cheng Chu silently slapped a mosquito to death.

Gu Qing said in a low voice, "Pass the order down, Huo Gong."

A little bit of flame was ignited at the rear of Pingyao City, and just as the abnormal Pingyao army was about to shout, arrows with flames soared into the sky and came towards the top of Pingyao City.

"Raise the shield!" The chaos on the top of the city raised the shield in the direction of the arrow.

On the other side, Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui, who were looking at Pingyaocheng, were also ready. Gu Qing shot a rocket from the other end, and ordered, "Fire the arrow!"

Just as the Pingyao army was tired of dealing with the incoming arrows, bows and arrows came from behind.

A rain of arrows fell, but it didn't cause much loss, it was just to put out the fire, but the whole Pingyao City couldn't rest well that night.

Xie Baliang asked the soldiers to calm down the intruders in the city and not let the soldiers chase them out. The opponent obviously dispersed the soldiers and horses. Now it is just exhausting to catch up. It is better to sit firmly in the city and be afraid of them if they do not attack. Been hiding.

On the Yalu River, 20 troops were crossing the river mightily. Li Ji's method of crossing the river was very rough. He directly filled up the river and forcibly opened up a road. The army crossed the river and appeared in the boundary of Goguryeo.

Everywhere they passed was in ruins, the border town had been destroyed, the city walls had collapsed, and corpses were rotting all over the place. The army passed by here, and they saw Liaodong City for most of the march.

In front of Liaodong City is a field of Shura. There are corpses everywhere. There are more than 20 corpses everywhere. The soil here is red, and the blood seeped into the soil.

"How did these children survive?" Cen Wenwen looked at the blood stained red again.

"There is an army of 20 lying here." Li Ji sighed, "If this achievement is said to be mine back then, it would be impossible to achieve it. The brave major general! The future of the Tang Dynasty can be expected!"

"Where did those children go?" Cen Wen looked around, seeing that Liaodong City was empty.

Of course, Gu Qing, Su Dingfang, and Cheng Chumo did not rest. They are currently attacking Goguryeo. Yuan Gai Suwen has collected most of his troops in Pingyao City. Those who guard these small cities are some small generals. , the troops are also sparse.

The soldiers and horses of the three sides worked hard for a long time, Cheng Chumo took out the seal letters of the three Goguryeo city lords, "I won three, how about it! You must not have as many as me."

"Sorry!" Gu Qing took out five, "I won five!"

"Really or not!" Cheng Chumo picked up the impression Gu Qing took out in surprise, "No! Gu Qing, you are not kind."

Chapter 375 The Arrival of the Army

Cheng Chumo smiled and looked at Gu Qing, "You can get twice the result with half the effort if you take that kid Xue Rengui with you! I'll fight everywhere, so you can divide your troops into two groups."

Su Dingfang, who came late, took out the seal and said with a smile, "I took seven cities, and some of these Goguryeo cities are too shabby. Chu Mo, you must have taken more than me."

"Almost, almost!" Cheng Chu said with a silent smile, and hurriedly changed the subject, "You said that General Li Ji and the others should be here too, let's join forces with them, I haven't had a drink for a long time, the wine in Goguryeo is weak It's the same as white water."

"Let's go." Li Tai said.

These days, Li Tai and Li Ke are covered in mud like everyone else, they don't have the appearance that a prince should have, and they will definitely not be recognized as a prince when thrown into the crowd.

"Fatty, you've lost weight." Gu Qing looked at Li Tai.

"I haven't eaten meat for a long time." Li Tai looked aggrieved, "Gu Qing, let's finish this battle and go back."

"Okay!" Gu Qing nodded.

The king of Goguryeo has been following this army these days. The courage and courage of the Tang army deeply shocked him. There are soldiers in Goguryeo, and no soldier in Goguryeo can be like the army in front of him. On, the courage to live to death.

"Will this army become the king's army in the future?" King Goguryeo asked Shangguanyi.
