The battle was over and the sun had risen high. On the battlefield, corpses were everywhere, and discarded weapons, flags and food could be seen everywhere. Nearly a hundred captured Goguryeo soldiers lay on the ground with their heads in their hands and dared not move.

More than 200 enemies were killed on the spot, nearly 100 were captured, and the rest fled. More than 40 people were killed in battle and nearly 100 were injured, half of which were under Guo Zisheng and Dewey. It can be seen that these two Sui soldiers were the weakest in combat, with the least number of people and the last one to join the battle, but the most casualties were the ones.

"Send the order to bury the brothers who died in battle and treat the injured brothers. Do not take anything else except bows, shields, food, and useful horses. Go out immediately after they are done." Gao Bufan ordered.

Pei Xingyan nodded and immediately asked the cavalry under his command to send orders to bury the dead, treat the injured, and collect the items they needed. Gao Bufan stopped Dou Xianniang, who was about to wipe the blood from his face, walked to the group of enemy prisoners with murderous intent, and said coldly: "Who can survive if you know the Sui Mandarin language?"

The prisoners looked at each other, no one answered. After three seconds of silence, Gao Bufan made a gesture, and the soldiers around him immediately pulled out their waist swords with a ferocious expression. The prisoners couldn't help but tremble in fear.

"I'll say again, who can survive if you know Sui Mandarin?" Gao Bufan said word by word, as if he had a substantial gaze swept from left to right. Finally, someone in the captive group stood up tremblingly and said, "General... General, the small... the small one can know Sui Mandarin."

Liu Wuzhou immediately stepped forward, lifted the prisoner out of the crowd, and sent it to Gao Bufan in a pleasing manner, and said with a smile: "Young Master Gao is really a god. Some of the prisoners know how to speak Sui Mandarin."

Gao Bufan nodded, signaled Liu Wuzhou to put the person down, and asked indifferently: "You speak Sui Mandarin well, is it a Sui native?"

The captive shook his head and said, "The youngest was not from Sui. The youngest used to do business and often went to Liucheng to do business. He learned it after a while. Last year, the two countries started fighting and the border trade stopped. Naturally, the business could not be completed. The youngest was also enlisted into the army by the king. Since the youngest knew Sui Mandarin, he is now a military translator."

The captive said it in detail, obviously afraid that the young man with bloody face and murderous aura was dissatisfied with hearing this, and suddenly ordered him to be killed.

Gao Bufan nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and said, "Very good, then I'll ask you, how many troops have you dispatched to encircle and suppression this time, and which general will command it. If you dare to say anything, let him smash your head."

After Gao Bufan finished speaking, he pointed to Qin Shubao nearby. The latter was covered in blood at this moment. The flesh and brain stained on his maces had not been wiped away. He was more than 1.8 meters tall, like a yellow-faced demon standing there. When he saw the captive, he showed a hint of sneer.

The captive with fearful eyes were withdrawn and quickly replied: "This encirclement and suppression was personally commanded by the general, and a total of 10,000 troops were dispatched, including 2,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry."

As soon as this statement was made, Qin Qiong, Guo Zisheng and Dewey all changed color slightly, and they were secretly glad that they ran fast. If they were successfully surrounded by the other party, let alone the eight thousand infantry, just two cavalry would be enough to destroy people like them.

Gao Bufan frowned and said, "Which general?"

"General Gao Jianwu." The captive translator replied.

Qin Qiong couldn't help but blurted out: "It turned out to be him."

"General Qin, what is the origin of this Gao Jianwu?" Gao Bufan asked curiously.

Qin Qiong said in a deep voice: "It is said that Gao Jianwu is the half-brother of Gao Yuan, the King of Goguryeo. He is quite talented. He is Gao Yuan's left arm and right arm. He is the person responsible for guarding Liaodong City this time. Unexpectedly, this person actually left Liaodong City and led his troops to encircle us."

Gao Bufan's heart moved and asked, "Where is your general Gao Jianwu now?"

The captive translator shook his head carefully and said, "The little one is not clear. The little one only knows that the general only sent General Liu Zai Shang and General Jin Gongcheng to command the encirclement and suppression. Later... I heard that a Sui army was particularly powerful and destroyed our infantry and 100-man team and two cavalry teams. Not long ago, he also sneaked into the grain supply point guarded by our heavily-armed troops and robbed nearly 100,000 kilograms of food. The general was extremely furious when he learned about it, so he personally led two thousand elite soldiers to command quickly."

Qin Qiong and others subconsciously looked at Gao Bufan, both shocked and admired. It was obvious that the remaining Sui army soldiers mentioned by the captive translator refer to the Sui army led by Gao Bufan. It turned out that Gao Bufan not only really took the supply points of the Goguryeo army, but also destroyed two teams of Goguryeo cavalry and a team of infantry. No wonder he had so many horses under his command.

Guo Zisheng and Dewey looked at each other, and their eyes looked at Gao Bufan with a hint of fear. His grandmother, this kid is indeed fierce. Even if he destroys a team of infantry, he can even destroy two teams of cavalry. What did he do? And... the supply points guarded by the enemy were also given to him. It was simply too awesome.

Guo and Du were shocked and a little lucky. They were glad that they didn't fight Gao Bufan when they were in the woods, otherwise they wouldn't know how to die.

Gao Bufan seemed not to feel everyone's eyes. His eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, and he said casually: "What are General Liu Zai-shang and General Jin Gongcheng?"

"They are all cavalrymen, and each of them leads a thousand cavalry." The captive translator replied honestly.

Gao Bufan nodded: "Do you know how many defenders are in Liaodong City?"

The captive translator obviously hesitated for a moment and shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"General Qin, smash his dog's head." Gao Bufan said sternly.

Qin Qiong was stunned for a moment, but he still knocked on both maces and walked forward. The captive interpreter was so scared that he almost urinated. He fell to the ground softly and said in a trembling voice: "About 8,000, this time the encirclement and suppression sent 4,000, and later the general led two thousand elite soldiers to come in person."

Gao Bufan made a gesture, and Qin Qiong immediately cooperated to put away his maces, but he still widened his eyes like a copper bell, standing aside with a fierce look, making the captive translator silent.

Gao Bufan touched his chin and said to himself: "So, now there are only two thousand defenders left in Liaodong City?"

The captive translator nodded tremblingly and said, "It's almost the same, but there is also a 50,000 army led by General Yizhi Wende on Huaiyuan Town across the river."

Gao Bufan smiled and said, "It seems you know a lot, so did Yizhi Wende take over Huaiyuan Town?"

The captive translator shook his head and said, "Not yet. I heard that the Sui army general who was responsible for guarding Huaiyuan City was named Wang Rengong. He was quite powerful and firmly blocked General Yizhi Wende."

Gao Bufan was relieved when he heard this. Since Huaiyuan Town on the other side of the river had not been lost, it would be easy. Qin Qiong glanced at Gao Bufan thoughtfully and thought to himself, this boy asked so carefully, could he be the idea of ​​fighting Liaodong City?
