Chapter 49 Crossing the northern desert for three thousand miles!
"Stab it, sting it!"

The sound of paper tearing echoed between heaven and earth.

But unlike the crisp sound of paper, these sounds make people feel creepy unconsciously.

Anyone with a little experience would be able to confirm it just by listening.

The sound did not come from any paper, but the sound of a knife entering into bones and tearing a human body apart.

Under the dazzling sunshine.

A rich blood color continued to spread.

The scattered sunlight was reflected in a blood-red color.

The entire green grass under my feet was soaked in blood.

On the grass, a fierce fight is unfolding.

No, or it cannot be described as a fight, it was a one-sided massacre.

The black armor like water, with the rolling hooves, stomped coldly and ruthlessly over the tents.

The cold sword light flashed like raindrops!
The sound of blood splattering and the howling of ghosts and wolves echoed everywhere.

In the distance, on a high earthen slope, a figure sat astride a horse, watching everything with a stern gaze.

The bloody scene did not cause any ripples on his face.

Behind him, eighteen black shadows were lined up in a straight line, each of them was like an ice sculpture, without any breath.

"Da da da!"

The sound of heavy horse hooves approached.

"General, the battle is over, no one is left alive!"

The deputy general, covered in blood, bowed and spoke.

"very good!"

This person is of course Gao Changsheng.

"Where are the troops chasing us now?"

Gao Changsheng asked.

"The target of our attack this time is not far away. According to the scouts, the Turkic cavalry is within 40 miles of our army!"

"General, do you want to find a way to deal with this cavalry?"

Gao Changsheng waved his hand casually upon hearing this: "No need, if they want to follow, let them follow. I don't have time to tangle with them for the time being."

"Pass the order down. According to the old rules, each person can only bring seven days' worth of food and continue to march north!"

"Northward?"

Hearing this, doubt flashed across the deputy general's eyes.

"General, as we go further north, there will be less and less pasture. The Turks live by following the grass. If we continue to go north, there will be fewer and fewer tribes like them."

"If we want to attack the Turks, we'd better turn west!"

Gao Changsheng turned his head quietly:
"Westward? Why, after such a long period of slaughter, have you forgotten our army's goal?"

The deputy general was obviously stunned when he heard this:
"General, are you talking about... Goguryeo?"

"Of course, this time our Sui army is marching north to conquer Goryeo, and it has nothing to do with the Turks!"

The lieutenant opened his mouth.

Don't blame him either.

After Gao Changsheng led his army out of Tongding, he did not head north into Goryeo, but instead went directly into the territory of the Turks from the northwest.

Plus the previous situation in Tongding City.

Any normal person would think that Gao Changsheng was angered by the actions of the Turks and is now raising an army to retaliate against them.

Gao Changsheng shook his head:
"We don't attack Buyeo because we only have 5,000 soldiers. Even if we attack by force, the gains will not outweigh the losses. A small city in a remote area of ​​Buyeo is not worth spending too much money on."

"It's better to take a detour."

"The reason why we took the detour through Turkestan is because the area is vast and sparsely populated, making it difficult to be discovered."

"Secondly, it is convenient for replenishing food and grass, and also for collecting some interest for Tongding City."

The deputy general suddenly realized: "General, your goal has always been to bypass the Goryeo defense line through the Turks and attack the enemy inland?"

"Not bad!"

Gao Changsheng nodded: "Crossing three thousand miles, crossing the Turkic Empire and attacking Goryeo, this is the goal of our army!"

"After all, leaving the battle without permission and attacking the Turks is no small crime."

"Unless we can wipe out the entire Turkic people in one fell swoop." The deputy general shook his head decisively.

The Turks were a great country; even if they were split into two halves, east and west, they were still no match for Goryeo.

With only 5,000 soldiers and horses, how could they possibly conquer the entire Turkic Empire?

"Okay, pack up and get going as soon as possible, otherwise we will be entangled by the Turkic cavalry and lose our manpower!"

"Yes!"

The deputy general nodded and turned his horse's head, but he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke:

"General, we suddenly entered the Turkic region in the west, and it seems that we did not pass on the news to the scout team that entered Goryeo, your friend."

If it was just a scout team, the deputy general would naturally not ask this question.

On the battlefield, it is normal that sometimes you encounter unexpected situations and cannot handle everything.

It is impossible for a scout team of only a dozen people to make the entire army stop and wait.

Besides, these scouts have all been trained, so there is no need to worry.

The deputy general asked this question purely because Lu Xiaofeng was involved.

He didn't know Lu Xiaofeng's specific identity, but Gao Changsheng had said before that they were friends.

"Oh, no wonder I always feel like I've forgotten something! No wonder!"

Gao Changsheng patted his forehead lightly.

"Don't worry. With Lu Xiaofeng's ability, he won't be in danger unless he encounters a large army encirclement and suppression."

"Besides, he is extremely smart and would never let himself fall into such a situation. Excluding the large army, the only threat from Goryeo is Fu Cailin."

"I don't think he would be that unlucky. Besides, he has always had a strong life, so nothing serious will happen to him."

Gao Changsheng waved his hand.

Lu Xiaofeng was known for his strong life, and coupled with his intelligence, no matter how bad the situation was, his life would not be in danger.

Take the previous time for example. Don’t be fooled by the other person’s pale face, he looks like he is about to die.

But Gao Changsheng was almost certain that the guy must have some tricks up his sleeve.

Although he was injured and miserable, Lu Xiaofeng still escaped all the way from the Ming Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, and was still alive and well.

Just listen to the forces that Lu Xiaofeng mentioned that he had offended, if it were someone else, they would probably not even be able to escape from home.

So he never worried about Lu Xiaofeng's safety.

"Yes!"

The deputy general bowed quickly and then rode away.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the iron hooves sped away, leaving behind only a grassland littered with corpses.

Just when Gao Changsheng led his army across the grassland.

North of Tongding City, in a valley outside Buyeo City.

A man wearing a straw hat was lying in the grass, swallowing his saliva unconsciously. Two eyebrow-like whiskers above his lips were trembling up and down.

"No, it can't be!"

At this moment, Lu Xiaofeng's lips and throat felt as dry as if they were burning.

But he didn't even dare to take out the kettle to drink water.

Because it was in the grass hundreds of meters in front of him.

Dazzling golden light rose up.

The entire valley was filled with powerful and terrifying auras.

There were three figures in the valley.

Two sitting and one standing.

The person standing there was an old monk with white hair and beard.

The other two figures sat opposite each other.

One of them was glowing all over, while the other had his eyebrows tightly closed. There were seven places with light shining from the top of his head to the center of his eyebrows downwards.

More importantly, the two figures sitting opposite each other had an eerie similarity in facial features.

"Gudong!"

Drops of sweat quickly slid down Lu Xiaofeng's forehead, and then he swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
