: Hunting Liao Envoy

On August 11, 2018, in the vast mountainous area between the Daliang River in Liaodong and the Xiaoliao River, a Goguryeo messenger rushed out of the golden light from the rising golden sun, riding a war horse and running wildly along the mountain road!

The Goguryeo knights and war horses were sweating all over their bodies, as if they had just been fished out of the water. Although the knight ran desperately, he was already at the end of the road. Two white feather arrows were inserted diagonally on his back, and even an arrow was inserted on the buttocks of the war horse. A lot of blood had flowed through the man and the horse. If this continues, it will not take long for the man and the horse to die before they are exhausted.

"Stand for a while, hold on for a while and you will reach the mountain city ahead. The prince's secret letter of expedited must be delivered to General Yuan Taizuo!" The knight was still muttering softly while riding his horse.

This knight was an urgent messenger sent by Gao Jianwu, the King of Rongliu of Goguryeo. On the same day, Liaodong was broken. Goguryeo and more than a thousand people fled east under the cover of his general Gao Ming. However, in the east of the city, the Sui people had already set up thousands of people to ambush. After the battle, more than a thousand people suffered heavy casualties.

Fortunately, after leaving the city, his confidants made a plan to change his armor and clothes with a soldier of similar figure. Under the ambush, he, under the protection of a group of loyal guards, rode on horseback while the Sui army besieged the soldiers who were pretending to be him. Finally, when he arrived by the Daliangshui River, there were only 20 or 30 people living around him. Seeing that the Sui army arrived again, he had no choice but to jump into the Daliangshui River.

After going through hardships, King Rongliu Gao Jianwu finally escaped the pursuit of the Sui army. After dawn, he finally arrived at the mountain city of the Goguryeo people south of the Daliang River. When Gao Jianwu sighed and finally picked up his life, he also remembered the current situation in Liaodong. After pondering for a while, he immediately sent dozens of letters, and asked the Lord of the Mountain City to urgently send dozens of cavalry to send his letters to various mountain cities near Liaodong City, informing that the Liaodong City had been lost and asked them to step up their guard against the Sui people.

After writing the letter, Gao Jianwu stayed for more than one hundred cavalry recruited from the mountain city and ran south. Along the way, as long as he passed by the mountain city with troops, he would write dozens of letters, asking the local mountain city to send cavalry to Liaodong City.

When Gao Jianwu rushed back to the domestic city of Goguryeo on the Yalushui River a few days later, he finally stopped running away. The first thing he did when he arrived in the domestic city was that he still recruited a team of knights of hundreds of people and sent a letter to various cities in Liaodong with his handwritten letters. This time, he not only wrote letters to the lords and generals of the Shancheng City near Liaodong City, but also wrote letters to Fuyu City, the city at the uppermost reaches of the Liao River and the Beisha City at the lowermost reaches of the Liao River.

In order to prevent the Sui army from intercepting the messengers, many people had to send people to rush over in order to prevent some from rushing over.

The mountain road between the forests is rugged. The branches that stretch out from time to time on the road are stretched across the knight's face, leaving several blood marks.

Gao Jianwu expected that, and the Sui army was prepared for his trick of sending a letter. On the day the Liaodong city was broken, Luo Lin was ordered to draw hundreds of elite cavalry from the independent light cavalry regiment under the command to patrol the Daliangshui and Xiaoliaoshui areas to strictly prevent the Liao people from heading north.

The number of messengers sent by Gao Jianwu before was as many as dozens of people were all ambushed by the Sui army just after passing Daliang River. The reason why this knight was able to rush through Daliang River and into the mountains was entirely because the messenger was completely the Liao people's elite cavalry in the domestic city, and this time he directly dispatched a hundred people. Although he was ambushed by the Sui army just after passing Daliang River, several Liao people's messengers risked their lives to break out during the melee.

The Sui army cavalry dressed in black armor was like a pack of wild wolves in the mountains and forests, allowing them to escape as if they were using all kinds of ways to hide their whereabouts, but they could never escape the tracking of the Sui cavalry.

In front of the Liao cavalry, on the east bank of the Xiao Liao River, teams of black-armored cavalry were lined up, with a population of thousands. At present, a large flag was fluttering in the wind, but it was embroidered with the independent reconnaissance regiment of the Liaodong Army. This was a group of civilians and soldiers who had reached one-third of the veterans of the military camp, and selected more than a thousand mountain hunters from the entire Liaodong Sui people.

The regiment commander was Zhang Yong, who was appointed by Chen Kefu, and his three younger brothers served as three of the four battalion commanders. This can be said to be an unprecedented honor. Not only did they become promoted from the original team to the colonel commander, but the three younger brothers of the three gang commanders were also promoted to the lieutenant colonel battalion commander, which made the four brothers' grace for Chen Kefu's knowledge of being even more indescribable. Several brothers from Shandong hunters all swore to the heavens that they would be loyal to the general Chen Kefu for their whole life to repay this kind of grace.

Just now, Zhang Yong received a message from the Independent Light Cavalry Regiment's fast horse, saying that more than a hundred Liao elite cavalry rushed over the Daliang River at night and came north. Although the brothers of the Independent Light Cavalry Regiment surrounded and killed most of them, because most of the Light Cavalry Regiment had been transferred back to Liaodong City before, they did not have enough people and did not completely kill the Liao people who crossed the river. Now more than ten cavalry escaped the net came to the northwest, asking their reconnaissance regiment to stop the Liao cavalry.

Wearing a black light leather armor, Zhang Yongce, the commander of the independent reconnaissance regiment, immediately looked at the two thousand of his own people and felt excited.

"Brothers, the troops of the Independent Light Cavalry Regiment just sent a express report saying that more than ten Liao cavalrymen broke through the defense of Daliangshui and had already rushed to the northwest. Everyone, my Independent Reconnaissance Regiment was rewarded by the General, and we were specially added to the word "reconnaissance". This is to hope that we will be the eyes and ears of the General Liaodong Army Command. This reconnaissance surveillance is a matter of my Independent Reconnaissance Regiment. Now, the Liao cavalry has come, and these people must be Gao Jianwu's messengers."

"The army led by the general has been dispatched, and this battle is extremely important. Our reconnaissance team is ordered to go forward and has a major mission. Before the general defeats the troops of Yuan Taizuo in the northwest, he must not let go of a soldier from the Goguryeo in the south to cross the Xiaoliao River. Even if a bird wants to fly over the Xiaoliao River, it must be checked first and see if it is a male or female."

"Dear brothers, many of you have followed the general and my old brothers in the past. Today is the first battle established by my reconnaissance regiment, and no matter what, they must be perfect. The commander of this regiment has rewarded merits and punished me, and never breaks his promise. The whole regiment obeys my orders and takes the company as a unit. Except for Zhang Meng's third battalion of troops in the Xiao Liaohe River, the other three battalions will all follow the commander. Do not search all the Liao people, and do not let anyone go. Regardless of the officers and soldiers in the army, no matter whether they are alive or dead, as long as they take down a Liao messenger, I will grant him a reward of twenty stagnants and set off!"

The sky was full of sunshine, and birds and beasts were heard from time to time in the mountains and forests. However, with Zhang Yong's order, more than a thousand people were divided into more than a dozen parts, and they rode war horses and began to search around. For most of the officers and soldiers from this reconnaissance regiment, it was not too difficult to find more than a dozen cavalrymen in this mountain forest.

Moreover, the regiment commander also promised such a heavy reward, and a person's head was only 20,000 yuan, and no one would think that the money was hot. The officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance regiment were like chicken blood, and they scattered the war horses, alarmed countless birds and beasts, and searched for the little clues.

Although the Liao people's messengers were also selected elite troops, they fought fiercely when they passed Daliang River. Most of the escaped people were injured and rode on the rugged mountain road for most of the night. At this time, they were basically in a mess.

Behind were the Sui army pursuers who could not be shaken off no matter how hard they were. The Liao cavalry were separated and they didn't care too much and ran wildly towards the northwest. They never expected that just one of them would have sent thousands of troops in front of them to wait.

When the Liao River was still dozens of miles away, the Liao cavalry finally crashed into the encirclement of the Sui army's reconnaissance regiment. The cavalrymen from the hunter-born family held the powerful crossbows in their hands, as if they were dealing with a prey, ruthlessly shot the crossbow arrows in their hands into the chest of the Liao messenger. Anyway, the regiment commander had an order, and could be worth twenty knots of money regardless of life or death, so there was no need to struggle to catch the live ones. It was not hunting, and if they caught the live ones, they could exchange for more prices without losing their fur.

Jin Yinan is a master of the Goguryeo Army in the country, with a hundred cavalry under his command. This time he is the leader of this cavalry department. He has already felt that this mission has failed.

The war horse had already been shot with one arrow, and he himself was hit by two arrows. He ran all the way for so long in the middle of the night. The blood flowing had already made him feel dizzy. The war horse screamed, and its front limbs knelt on the ground, and the entire horse body was falling forward. Jin Yizhen was panicked and quickly picked the kick and rolled off the horse, falling down. One of his left leg was also in pain. He reached out and touched it, and the leg was broken.

Looking at the war horse lying on the ground and the painful broken legs, Jin Yinan took out a letter from his arms to Fuyu City. Half lying in the grass in the mountains and forests, he coughed out several mouthfuls of blood.

A group of birds flew up from the forest in the distance, and a few little beasts ran from the forest. Jin Yinan, who grew up in the forest since childhood, knew that many people and horses were coming over there. Needless to say, the Sui Qi must have come. He looked down at the letter in his hand. King Rongliu sent so many people to report the letter to the north, and the Sui people actually ambushed them here, so the letter in his hand must be very important.
