Zhang Jian shook his head and said: "I didn't see the banner and uniform of Yuan Taizuo's soldiers, so I should have broken through."

Li Shiji's eyes narrowed, and he sighed, "Yang Wanchun's death is really unjust!"

Zhang Jian sighed.

There was a slight tremor on the ground.

Everyone's eyes revealed a look of vigilance.

Zhang Jian said in a low voice, "It's Xi Ren's far-reaching scout!"

At one post, Xiren's cavalry came galloping from far to near.A long blast of horns came from afar.

The Xiren cavalry immediately drew their bows, and the first wave of more than a dozen feathered arrows turned into a parabola and struck from mid-air.

More than a dozen Tang army scouts didn't move at all, and none of them even showed a look of panic. They watched the wave of arrows slanting into the ground dozens of steps away from them.

Li Shiji slowly pulled out a sharp long knife from the saddle.

The word "Anton" in seal script is engraved on the long knife near the handle.The long knife was erected, and the guards of Anton's army moved one after another, holding a folded crossbow machine in their hands as if conjuring. The crossbow arrows had already been wound, aiming at the Xiren cavalry attacking from afar.

As the long knife in Li Shiji's hand was swung forward, more than ten crossbow arrows flew out of the string, and with the sound of piercing the air, they rushed towards the Xiren cavalry in the distance.

Dozens of Xiren cavalry were hit by arrows and fell off their horses.

Li Shiji galloped out, dragging the saber in his hand behind him.

Xi Ren's cavalry also drew their sabers.

After Li Shiji died, Tang cavalry galloped down the high slope.

The war horses on both sides neighed, and the hooves of the horses beat the ground like thunder.

The moment the two sides came into contact, Li Shiji swung his long knife——

The next moment, the two horses crossed each other, and the head of the Donghu cavalry squadron headed by them fell into the dust.

People shouted and horses neighed, gold and iron sang, and in the blink of an eye, the two teams had already passed by.

Only three of Xi Ren's cavalry were still on their horses, and the rest of the horses fled in all directions.

Li Shiji reined in the horse's reins, turned the horse back, pointed the tip of the long knife to the ground, and the plasma left along the blood groove on the blade and dripped to the ground.

None of the cavalry of the Tang army was killed or injured.

PS: There will be more later!

Chapter 3 Golden Autumn October Fair Dragon Hunting City

Chapter 3 Golden Autumn October Fair Dragon Hunting City

Outside the White Stone Fort, the Tang Anton Army soldiers were slowly cleaning the battlefield, but from time to time, Goguryeo or Xiren troops came to harass the Tang Army soldiers to clean the battlefield.

However, the soldiers of the Tang army who had been waiting in full battle for a long time shot these incoming enemy troops and were defeated.

Zhang Jian, the general manager of Yingzhou, said suspiciously: "General Protector, do you think these people are stupid, knowing that they are dead, but they still want to come to die like moths throwing themselves into a flame!"

"They are not stupid, but they have lost a very important person!" Li Shiji looked at the mountain of corpses formed by deadly battles around Yang Wanchun, and said with a faint smile: "We haven't found Yuan Taizuo's personal guards and guards of honor here. Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the Goguryeo Xi people did not meet Yuan Tae-joo."

Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment, and said with ecstasy: "Da Duhu, what do you mean, we still have a chance to capture Yuan Taizuo alive?"

Li Shiji nodded and said, "It should be possible!"

"Old Tang Book·Dongyi·Koryo Biography" contains: Goguryeo "The official title of Goguryeo is great against Lu, compared with first-class, always knowledgeable about state affairs, three-year generation, if competent, regardless of the number of years. Alternate days, or not against each other , All rein in the troops to attack each other, and the winner will be the winner. The king has to close the palace and guard himself, so he cannot control the imperial court. The next day, he said that the elder brother is the second rank than Zheng. For the officials below Lu, the total is twelve.

Yuan Taizuo's great opposition to Lu is generally equivalent to the first-rank official position in the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty has empty positions from the second rank and above, and the only one who can be equal to him is probably the general Tiance of Qin Wang Li Shimin.

Once Yuan Taizuo is captured or killed, the credit is obvious.

Following Li Shiji's order, the elite of the Anton Army began to disperse, looking for Yuan Taizuo all over the mountains and plains.

Although the armies did not find any trace of Yuan Tae-joo, Li Shiji did not dare to be careless. Yuan Tae-joo, as Goguryeo's great opponent, can be said to be under one man and above tens of thousands of people, and he will not leave the border easily.It's a different matter if he is in command, but if Yuan Taizuo is in command, he will never lead such a small army.

As the saying goes, if something is abnormal, there must be evildoers.

Li Shiji held the beef shank in one hand, chopped the beef into pieces with a knife, put them into his mouth and chewed them piece by piece, but kept his eyes on the map, his brows knit into big knots.

The price of eating beef in Guanzhong is very expensive, almost the same as eating money, but in Anton, beef is already the daily ration of soldiers of the Andong army.

Seeing that Zhang Jian had been busy for five or six days, he didn't even see the shadow of Yuan Taizuo, so he was very depressed.Zhang Jian devoured a leg of lamb and muttered, "Our army is in full swing, and our soldiers are well-armored. These are not secrets. Whether it is the Goguryeo people or the people who ridicule them, they are not stupid. They will definitely not face it positively." To meet the enemy. If you let the future command, you must hide the main force in the mountains around Tiger Mountain and Baiquan Mountain, and wait for you to attack from afar, and at the same time send a large number of elite rangers to harass and tire you out. When it’s almost exhausted, we’ll move out and surround you all!”

He smacked his lips and said: "Fortify the wall to clear the field, roam around to harass, and wait for work with leisure. Donghu people are very familiar with these routines. I don't know how many generals fell on these three axes."

Li Shiji was silent for a while, then said: "You are not unreasonable, but I don't think it will be that simple. I always have a feeling: they are going to make a big move."

Li Shiji reported this abnormal situation to Li Jiancheng as quickly as possible.

……

In Shuanggou Valley, more than [-] miles northeast of Baishi Fort, in a huge military tent with a wolf's head hanging on it, Li Pogu, the leader of the Yuanzhe tribe of the Xi clan, held a wooden arrow shaft without tail feathers in his hand, groaning silently.

Goguryeo, who was wearing a suit of armor, introduced to Lu Yuan Taizuo in Tang dialect: "This is the standard crossbow arrow used by the Andong Army of the Tang Dynasty. We have been dealing with each other for several years, and we will never admit it!"

With a smile on the corner of Li Pogu's mouth, he said in Donghu language: "Tang country has a lot of taste. Their hands have been extended to the Great Xianbei Mountain. He is not afraid of dying himself!"

Yuan Taizuo sighed with worry: "Compared to the 30 elites of the Tang Kingdom far away in Guanzhong, Li Shiji's Anton Army is the life and death enemy of our thirteen divisions in Eastern Liaodong. In this battle, all the elites from each division have come out; As you can see, the casualties of Anton's army were less than a thousand, while we died a total of [-], and the wounded were countless..."

Li Pogu glared fiercely at Yuan Taizuo and roared: "You Goguryeo people died less than 8000 people, and our five tribes of Xi clan killed more than [-] people..."

"It's not important. What's important is that just one Anton army has poor us and the thirteen countries in Liaodong are no longer our opponents!" Yuan Taizuo looked at Li Pogu meaningfully and said, "Don't even think about it, wait for Li Tangtang to make a move." Come on, will they let us go? Don't forget about Yang Sui's million souls, you have also done a lot to ridicule people!"

Li Pogu put down the crossbow arrow, sighed and said, "If Li Shiji's Anton Army hadn't blocked us here, it wouldn't be difficult for our Liaodong Thirteenth Division to cross the side wall and watch the troops go right to Beiping. The one in Chang'an City Emperor Li, if you don't respectfully cut off a piece of meat, don't even think about sending us back..."

"It's time to wake up from your dream!" Yuan Taizuo roared with a ferocious face: "According to reliable news, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has changed, and Li Jiancheng has been replaced. The third part is already in disaster!"

Li Pogu said with a faint smile: "We are different from your Goguryeo. We never thought of herding horses in the Yellow River and taking control of the Central Plains. Even if the Tang Dynasty leads the army to the east, we can surrender at worst. I think the Tang Dynasty will definitely accept us. !"

Yuan Taizuo sneered and said: "You are so naive. The wolf wants to eat the sheep not only because the wolf is hungry, but also because the wolf is in a bad mood. You are willing to put the lives of your entire clan on the wolf. In the mood?"

Li Pogu murmured: "We are not from Goguryeo. You are too courageous. You are obviously a sheep. You want to dominate Liaodong. You are just like Yelang. You are so arrogant and you don't know each other well. Take the way of death!"

Yuan Taizuo was quite disapproving.

Every country has its own development direction and its own strategic goals. In fact, the Goguryeo people are not pure nomads. They are also farming civilization and have established more than 100 large and small cities.Goguryeo, as a small power in Northeast Asia, can already beat Silla, Baekje, Buyeo, and Samhan, but they are not satisfied with this small power in Northeast Asia, and began to want to provoke the Central Plains Dynasty, dreaming of dreaming of taking control of the Central Plains .

It’s just that they were not born at the right time. If Goguryeo was strong and the Central Plains was in trouble, they could rush into the Central Plains to pick up the leaks like the Xianbei Murong Department or the Xianbei Tuoba Department.It's just that when Goguryeo invaded western Liaoning for the first time, it was ordered by Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, that 30 troops came out. Although the Sui army suffered heavy losses due to the plague, Goguryeo directly admitted it.

Later in the Yang Guang era, they began to commit suicide.Although Yang Guang lost millions of troops in Goguryeo, Goguryeo is actually not having a good time. Otherwise, in the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they would not have stayed in the city of Pyongyang for more than ten years.
