Countless torches were lit, illuminating the entire grassland. If you stand in the distance and watch, the shining torches on the grassland are almost as many as the stars in the sky. The two sides echo each other, which is undoubtedly a rare beauty.

But the Goguryeo soldiers who were in it would never think so. Goguryeo had a total of 5,000 infantry troops. Except for the Zhou army attacking the mountain, about 1,000 people were killed or injured, and the remaining 4,000 troops and hundreds of cavalry have lived to this day, with only 4,500 cavalry among which there were less than 100 cavalrymen, and the rest were all killed in battle.

The Khitans secretly admired the Goguryeo people and were shocked when they fought to the death in such a difficult situation. This time they completely offended Goguryeo. Now they have no way out and can only rely on the Great Zhou.

The Khitan army temporarily stopped the attack, but they surrounded the remaining Goguryeo people in groups. The Goguryeo people who had been fighting for a long time finally had a moment of rest. But everyone knew that the calm in front of them was only temporary, and they could not see the sun tomorrow again.

"Surrender! Surrender! Surrender!" Luo Yi conveyed his order loudly in Xianbei language. After the roar of nearly 10,000 Khitans, a huge sound wave formed, which buzzed the ears of the Goguryeo people in the middle.

The Turkic language is the only grassland ethnic group that created its own writing. The Xianbei language is mostly the same as the Turkic language, and Luo Yi can only use Xianbei language to persuade him to surrender.

Luo Yi had commanded at most 500 men in the past, and was not the master of the main building. In the past two days, Luo Yi's orders were followed, which made Luo Yi feel so happy that he wanted to make this victory as beautiful as possible, so that the general knew his talent, and then he would have to give him important tasks in the future, so that he would patiently persuade the people of Goguryeo to surrender.

Even ordinary Goguryeo soldiers who couldn't understand Xianbei's words knew that the other party wanted to persuade them to surrender. They had been fighting for so long that most of them were injured, tired and erect. When they heard this, they looked at Wenda./

Wenda has become a bloody man. Many of them are shed by himself, but more are the blood of the enemy. There are dozens of Khitan cavalry who died under his gun. If it weren't for the previous arrow injury, there might be more Khitans who died under his gun. But even so, the Khitans outside seemed endless, and no matter how he killed them, they could not kill them.

"General, the princess has gone far away, let's fight out." Another of his generals, Wen Er, said in tears.

"Kill out?" Wenda murmured to himself. The Khitans outside surrounded one after another. Khitans were fighting out just dreams. He looked up at the sky. The sky on the grassland was particularly clear and the stars in the sky were twinkling. He couldn't help but think of a legend in the Central Plains. Every noble person is a star in the sky and will return to the sky after death. The fifth princess is undoubtedly a noble person. Of course she is the star in the sky, and she is just a poor boy. Although she has become a general now, is she the star in the sky also descending to earth?

If the fifth princess had not appreciated him, Wen Da was still a poor boy now. He was called the fool Wen Da by the nobles. Others would kneel down when they saw the nobles going on a tour, but he would rather be beaten than kneel down. Although he didn't understand any words about kings, princes, generals and ministers at that time, why did he kneel down? Why could the nobles enjoy various privileges and bully the poor at will?

Wen Er saw Wen Da looking up at the sky without saying anything, and he was secretly surprised in his heart and couldn't help but shout, "General, General."

Wenda turned his head, looked at Wen Er, and asked in a low voice: "Are you afraid of death?"

Wen Eryi straightened his chest: "Go back to the general, villains are not afraid of death."

"You are not afraid of death, but I am very afraid of death. I am afraid that I cannot become a star after death, and continue to wait for the fifth princess. I am afraid that my mother and the kind neighbors in the past will be bullied by the nobles again after death. I am afraid that others will call me fool Wenda after death. I am afraid..."

Wen Da's words shocked Wen Er. How could he not die unless he surrendered? Wen Er opened his mouth: "General..."

Wen Da raised his hand to stop Wen Er's next words: "I am afraid of death because I have concerns. In fact, concern is a kind of happiness. If I don't care before death, I will live a life of vain. The fifth princess, I have satisfied with you in this life." Wen Da's subsequent words were already inaudible.

"Surrender!Surrender!Surrender!" The Khitans continued to roar in the middle, and the arrows in their hands had already spread out and aimed at the Goguryeo people. Although the remaining Goguryeo soldiers looked blue and were close together, they all looked at their generals, and none of them left the team to surrender.

Wenda's voice came: "Brothers, I will be incompetent, and the responsibility for today's defeat is with me. Until now, you have done your best. If anyone wants to survive, I will allow you to surrender to the enemy. I will never blame you."

A whimpering sound came from the team: "General, we will follow you and never surrender."

"Yes, never surrender!"

"Yes, never surrender!"

...

Wenda smiled and raised the spear in his hand: "I, Wenda, will die on the road of charge even if I die. Brothers, follow me and kill!"

"Kill!" The cavalry beside him responded with a loud bang, followed by Wenda towards the Khitan cavalry, and the infantry behind him were the same.

"Shoot!" Seeing that no one in Goguryeo was willing to surrender, Luo Yi shook his head and issued an order.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!" Countless feather arrows blocked the stars in the sky and fell to the remaining soldiers and horses of Goguryeo who were charging. Wenda's spear danced, and a series of metal rubbing sounds were made on the tip of the spear. I don't know how many arrows were flying, and the cavalry around him fell one after another.

"Bo, borg." Wenda heard two sounds of arrow feathers falling into the bones, and the spear in his hand was suffocated. Then more and more arrows fell on him. Wenda's spear danced slowly and slowly, and a wail came from the war horse under his foot. He fell to the ground for the last time. He opened his eyes, as if he saw a meteor passing by in the sky: "Fifth Princess, when I get to the sky, I will protect you."

The feathered arrows were almost covered with dense layers of horses that charged the Goguryeo people. Facing tens of thousands of venting arrows, no Goguryeo soldier could rush to the Khitan cavalry to fight. Except for the two thousand cavalry that fled, there was no living person in the Goguryeo army here.

Witnessing the desperate charge launched by the Goguryeo people, most Khitans felt a chill in their hearts. Goguryeo had 300,000 armored soldiers. If they were like these soldiers, the Khitans would face Goguryeo's crazy revenge in the future.

"Pack up their bodies, these people are warriors."

No one opposed Luo Yi's words, many Khitan cavalry jumped off their horses, silently carried the corpses in the middle, and dug a large pit next to them to bury them. Faced with the real warriors, the Khitans sincerely raised their respect, while the rest of the people who died in the battle were not treated so well. What awaited them was the consumption of wild wolves and birds on the grassland.

Princess Pingkang woke up quietly and found herself lying in a man's arms. She was very anxious and shook her hand, and she heard a loud bang hit the man's face.

The man found that Princess Pingkang woke up, and quickly let go of his hand holding the princess's waist, jumped onto an empty horse next to him, and said in panic: "I am in a hurry to follow the power, offend the princess, and be guilty of low-ranking duties."

Princess Pingkang suddenly lost support and shook her back a few times before sitting back. With the moonlight, Princess Pingkang saw the man's face clearly. It was Wenda's general Wen Da, who remembered what happened before her coma: "Of course you deserve to die. You are so brave, you dare to knock me out."

General Wen bent down and almost lay his body on the back of the horse: "The humble official offense. If the princess returns to the country safely and wants to kill and cut them, I will listen to the princess' convenience. However, our army has not yet escaped from danger, so the humble official cannot die for the time being."

In the darkness, the team was still moving forward, but the speed was much slower. First, the horsepower of the galloping during the day consumed too much, and even if they wanted to be fast, they could not be much faster. Second, the running in the darkness was too dangerous, and dozens of knights had died of death. In addition, the sound of horse hooves could no longer be heard behind them, and the pursuit was not so urgent, so the team's speed naturally slowed down.

"Where are we?" Princess Pingkang calmed down. It was impossible to return now. She was really too impulsive during the day. If she brought people back, she would not only not be able to save Wenda, but she would only burn all the soldiers.

Wen Da estimated: "Go back to the princess, it's about ten miles away from the Liaohe River?"

Princess Pingkang was silent and it took about an hour to reach the Liaohe River at such a speed. Since she could not hear the sound of pursuers, it would be safe to cross the Liaohe River. She suddenly remembered that the floating bridge on the Liaohe River had been burned and her face turned pale, but everyone could not notice it in the dark.

A meteor in the distance crossed the sky and burst out with a dazzling light. Princess Pingkang suddenly felt palpitations: "Wenda, are you dead?"

The Goguryeo cavalry kept rushing to the dark, but the Zhou army stopped before the sky was dark, camping, making fires, and barbecue. With the sun and the light, they picked up all kinds of non-toxic wild vegetables and mushrooms on the grassland. Each Zhou army brought a few kilograms of high-quality mutton before departure. Now it was just enough to be renovated. After a while, piles of bonfires rose, illuminating the entire camp, and the aroma of barbecue slowly came.

A bowl of delicious wild mushroom soup was brought over, and Yang Yong ate it with relish. In the past few days, Yang Yong has eaten all kinds of mutton every day, roasted, cooked, and fried... Although it tasted good at the beginning, it was just a nausea after eating it continuously, and even his body seemed to have a good taste of sheep.

Although there are many scalpers in the livestock herd, only a scalper can afford several laborers in this era. Zhou Lu stipulates that besides old cows, sick cows or oxes whose legs are injured and cannot plow the land, slaughtering plowing ox is guilty. Naturally, Yang Yong cannot take the lead in violating Zhou Lu for his own good fortune.

Wei Podi came over with a porcelain bowl, but his bowl was full of mutton. Yingzhou's vegetables were far less than meat. After working as an officer in Yingzhou for several years, Wei Podi had become accustomed to eating meat.

"Sir, why don't you continue chasing?"

Yang Yong drank a bowl of mushroom soup and wiped his mouth, then said, "Why should I chase after me? Without a floating bridge, these Goguryeo people could only stare at the riverside. I didn't believe that they could find the tools to cross the river and could cross the river overnight. Now they can only walk ten miles in one hour at night. When it dawns tomorrow, it will take at most an hour to reach the riverside. Moreover, there are Khitans in front of me who chased me. I don't want to meet halfway. There is a big flood to rush to the Dragon King Temple and fight with my own people."

In addition to these reasons, there is actually another thing: as long as the Goguryeo people could not find anything to cross the river, the Khitan cavalry was enough to deal with the Goguryeo people, and the Zhou army did not need to die many people to seize the merits.

The Khitan cavalry chased them until dark. Although they didn't know that the Goguryeo's floating bridge was burned, they were unwilling to pursue people at the risk of the night. The advantageous side was the least willing to fight at night. They were too likely to have various accidents in the night. Even if they chased them, the more crowded side would not get much advantage.

Besides, Wutu, who led the team, had other ideas. Although the Goguryeo people fled, the purpose of sending troops this time had been achieved, and there was no need to kill them all.

The sound of water rushing in front of him came, and it seemed like a silver-white belt was shining in the distance. The Goguryeo people who were rushing to the road were immediately overjoyed. They knew that they were about to reach the Liao River and unknowingly accelerated their stance. When it was on the edge of the Liao River, the Goguryeo cavalry cheered, and as long as they crossed the river, they escaped the pursuit.

"Where is the bridge? Where is the bridge?" Many Goguryeo soldiers tried their best to find them along the upstream and downstream. Not to mention the bridge on the river, they could not even see the shadow of a wooden board. Knowing the exact news that the pontoon bridge was burned, only some important generals around Wenda. Although the other soldiers suspected that the fire was shining that day, they still rushed to the road with the hope of the pontoon bridge.

Princess Pingkang came to Wen Da: "Master Wen, the floating bridge has burned, and asked the soldiers to stop searching and keep the energy to deal with tomorrow's fight."

Wen Da shook his head, remembering that it was dark, and hurriedly said, "Princess, let them find it. Even if you can find a small boat, as long as the princess can cross the river, it will be worth it if the rest dies."

The person next to him also said, "Princess, it's better to let the soldiers consume their energy. You can't wait until you know there is no floating bridge, your subordinates are afraid that they will cause mutiny."
