Laishui County is a small county with dilapidated city and narrow inside the city. The wall is only seven or eight miles in circumference, with a population of less than a thousand households. When Luo Yi's army arrived in Laishui County, the city gate was wide open. County magistrate Zhang Zhiwen led a squad of officials such as the county magistrate, county magistrate, chief clerk, etc. out of the city to surrender.

County Magistrate Zhang Zhiwen knelt in front of Luo Yima and raised the county Magistrate's seal high, "We are willing to surrender to Youzhou, and only beg the general not to hurt the people in the county."

"Shanggu County is originally under the jurisdiction of Youzhou. Magistrate Zhang County does not need to worry. I will not hurt the civilians. You can comfort the people and there will be no chaos."

Luo Yi knew that Laishui County was small and could only accommodate a few thousand troops at most, so he ordered his general Yuchi Bao: "You can lead 3,000 troops from the headquarters to enter the county town, strictly enforce military discipline, and not disturb the people. If there is any abnormal situation, report it to me at any time."

"As for the order!"

Yuchi Bao bowed and led his three thousand troops to the city. Luo Yi comforted the county magistrate Zhang Zhiwen and others, and asked them to enter the city to arrange for Youzhou troops to station.

At this time, a scout rushed to report: "Your Majesty, Gao Wentong led his headquarters to leave the camp and chased westward."

Luo Yi sneered, this idiot was indeed chasing him. Xue Wanche next to him said anxiously: "Master, Gao Wentong pursues him without authorization, and he is very likely to be ambushed by the Sui army. Bei Yi will go and chase him back."

Luo Yi shook his head, "This idiot always threatens me at critical moments. With him, I will sooner or later be defeated by his hands. It would be best if he dies. I will wait for Gao Kaidao to send newcomers."

Xue Wanche's eyes showed a look of worry, "But... If Gao Wentong is defeated, will Gao Kaidao send troops again?"

Luo Yi looked at the dark mountains covered by the night in the distance and said lightly: "This is to see. If Gao Wentong was defeated and not dead, Gao Kaidao might give up Beiping County and retreat to Liaodong. But if Gao Wentong died, then Gao Kaidao would definitely avenge him."

He glanced at Xue Wanche again, "Do you understand what I mean?"

.........

The empty Sui army camp could not satisfy Gao Wentong's extremely hungry appetite. Thinking of the Sui army's supplies walking slowly behind him. He heard that there were still two hundred female soldiers in the team, and he could no longer resist his inner impulse. Not long after Luo Yi's army left, Gao Wentong immediately ordered: "Chasing the Sui army!"

He led an army of 20,000 and chased the west along the official road. Gao Wentong followed his brother in the water land of Douzigang for two years. After several years of rebellion, the bandits in Douzigang also experienced one group after another, from the initial Liu Badao, Hao Xiaode, Lu Mingyue to the last Ge Qian, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Douzigang to rebel one after another. They fought for territory, robbed food and women. Year by year, killing each other, blood and violence filled the land, making it form a unique Douzigang rule. That is to kill people and loot. The strong are king.

People who came from Douzigang all carry this extremely destructive Douzigang rules in their hearts. This is particularly prominent in Gao Wentong. He killed people and raped people's lives, plundered food and people's wealth, and would never consider the continuation of people's livelihood and the continuation of descendants. He only cared about his own quickness. It was the cruel destruction of thousands of rioters like Gao Wentong over the years that completely destroyed the foundation of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Gao Wentong was eager to seize the Sui army's supplies and food, which filled his mind. He completely lost his vigilance and rationality, and led his army to chase him. After about an hour, his army discovered more than a dozen damaged grain trucks discarded by the roadside. There were dozens of bags of rice in the grain truck, some soldiers also found a box of women's dresses, and many copper coins scattered all over the floor.

The unexpected discovery made Gao Wentong's subordinates very excited. There was actually a woman in the Sui army's team. Needless to say, she must be the long-known female soldiers. They shouted wildly, extremely excited, and rushed westwards quickly.

After traveling west for a few miles, he entered a shallow valley about a dozen long. There were rolling hills on both sides, covered with dense black pine forests. At this moment, within the black pine forest, Xie Yingdeng led 10,000 Sui troops to ambush for a long time.

Although Xie Yingdeng was ordered to retreat west, he did not fight in one battle and retreated west so frustrated. This was not the style of the Sui army. If he could successfully ambush, there might not be no hope of turning defeat into victory.

The official road was filled with all kinds of supplies, hundreds of ox carts, mainly food, armor and tents. They blocked the narrow official road, which was the bait that Xie Yingdeng put down.

At this time, a scout cavalry rushed over. He urged his horse to rush up the hill along a small path and ran into the black pine forest. After a moment, he came to Xie Yingdeng and reported breathlessly: "General, the enemy has chased him fifteen miles away, about 20,000 people."

Xie Yingdeng was happy at first, and the enemy was chasing him, but then a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. He had already reached fifteen miles away, and there was no scout who came to explore the way first. This night marching that was extremely unconforming to the conventional state. Does Luo Yi even ignore the minimum rules?

"General, could it be Gao Kaidao's army?" his general Yu Jinwen whispered from the side.

A sentence reminded Xie Yingdeng that it was most likely Gao Kaidao's army, and their army was exactly 20,000 people. But the question is, Gao Kaidao's army is chasing, will Luo Yi not stop it? Or is it Luo Yi ordered Gao Kaidao's army to pursue? If so, why did Luo Yi's army come differently? Does Luo Yi think that Gao Kaidao's 20,000 troops can defeat the Sui army?

Xie Yingdeng suddenly had a premonition that there might be some kind of conflict between Gao Kaidao's army and Youzhou army that outsiders did not know.

This thought only flashed through Xie Yingdeng's mind. Now he can't take care of so much for the time being. Xie Yingdeng immediately ordered: "Play the order and the whole army is ready to kill!"

.........

Gao Wentong's army had already chased into the shallow valley. After entering seven or eight miles, they saw various vehicles and supplies piled up on the official road from afar. The army cheered and suddenly lost control. Everyone ran towards the vehicles, hoping to find gold, silver and copper coins from the vehicles.

"General, the Sui army left their baggage and fled in a panic!"

A soldier excitedly reported to Gao Wentong in the back team. Gao Wentong frowned. This scene was different from what he imagined. In his imagination, the Sui army should have been caught up with him, fled in a panic after a fierce battle, or after a bloody battle, the Sui army was forced to drop the baggage and retreat westward. No matter what, he had to pay a little price, but now he actually got the Sui army's baggage without any effort, which made him feel extremely uneasy and made him feel that the Sui army was vulnerable.

It was not until this time that Gao Wentong suddenly felt something was wrong, ‘No! The Sui army could not give up the baggage so easily.’

He looked up at both sides. There were hills on both sides, with pine forests, which seemed particularly quiet under a cold moonlight. When the cold wind blew, the forests were undulating like waves, making a "swish!" sound, and there was no trace of people, but.

This terrain.

Gao Wentong's mind buzzed!, as if it was about to explode. This was the most ideal ambush terrain. "Retreat!" He shouted loudly, "Retreat quickly!"

But it was too late, a clapper sound came from the pine forest. Arrows were fired in the dense forests on both sides, and arrows were like dense rain. Gao Kaidao army was caught off guard. A large group of soldiers were shot down. A scream came from the official road. The soldiers were so scared that they were scattered and rolled back and ran back. The arrows shot from the woods on both sides were densely raining like rain, one after another, like the death talisman of the King of Hell. The official road was filled with hysterical soldiers shouting and shouting. Everyone fought for their lives, trampling on each other, wailing, screaming, and the sound of bone breaking...

Seeing that some of the enemy troops had already escaped from the official road, Xie Yingdeng gave the order, "Kill the cavalry!"

In the hills and pine forest, the drum sound of "dong dong dong dong!" was ringing. Thousands of Sui cavalry were ambushed in the forests on both sides of the valley. Following the drum sound, three thousand cavalrymen rushed out from both sides, with their horses galloping, their swords sharp, and their spears densely packed into the enemy group in an instant, killing people and overturning their horses and corpses everywhere. Countless people were scared and knelt down and begging for surrender.

Gao Wentong was escorted by hundreds of personal soldiers to break through the encirclement. Gao Wentong seemed crazy and waved the slinging knife. No matter how the enemy and us were slashing, they finally opened a bloody road and broke through the encirclement. There were only dozens of people left by their side. They were like dogs who were stranded and fled east in panic.

After escaping for several miles, the shouts of killing behind him gradually faded away, and Gao Wentong slowed down his horse speed. He turned around and saw that there were only more than 20 people following him, and the 20,000 troops were wiped out. This was all his greed and carelessness. He couldn't help but regret and hate, and sadness came from it, crying loudly, and the guards around him also cried silently.

At this moment, a slight sound of "bang!" came from the woods not far away. This was the sound of a bowstring. Gao Wentong was shocked. When he turned around, he saw an arrow suddenly appeared in front of him. It was too late to hide. The arrow shot into his throat with a "puff!". Gao Wentong covered his throat and let out a muffled cry. He fell off his horse on his back. Then hundreds of arrows were shot out from the forest. More than 20 personal soldiers screamed and fell off the horse. Hundreds of people came out of the woods and surrounded them. All the personal soldiers were killed.

Gao Wentong was not dead yet. He was lying on the ground, blood gushing out of his throat. He was no longer able to do it. A masked man in black appeared in front of him, with sharp eyes staring at him fiercely. Gao Wentong suddenly recognized the weapon in the hand of the man, Xue Wanche's blue dragon halberd, and these eyes became extremely familiar. Gao Wentong opened his mouth and showed extreme anger in his eyes.

The man in black pulled off the masked cloth from his face. It was Xue Wanche. He grinned and said, "Go to die!" The long halberd penetrated Gao Wentong's chest hard.

Xue Wanche did not expect that in a bush dozens of steps away, a pair of fearful eyes witnessed everything that happened on the official road.

...........

Two days later, Xie Yingdeng led a 10,000 army to escort 13,000 prisoners of war to Yi County. Two hours after Xie Yingdeng arrived in Yi County, Yang Yuanqing also led 5,000 cavalry to Shanggu County.
