    Gao Jianwu was escorted by his trusted general Zuo Gong toward the exit to the west of the valley mouth. Along the way, there were troops who broke up and attacked, but they were all killed by the guards.

    At this time, Gao Jianwu lost his kindness and kindness, and anyone who stopped him from escaping would be killed without mercy.

    But when they arrived near the mouth of the west valley, they found that the west road was impassable.  The Sui army had already gone around to the west exit to wait, but Chen Yinglong, who had arrived earlier than them, was under siege by the Sui army.

    But Chen Yinglong did not have enough troops, most of which were infantry, and could not stop the Sui cavalry attack.  On the one hand, he had to protect the members of the Yuan family, and on the other hand, he had to deal with the Sui army, and he was already stretched thin.

    One of Yuan Taizuo¡¯s sons was mixed in the crowd and was trampled to the ground by a Sui knight. He was trampled to death.  Gao Jianwu was horrified to see this. Usually, Yuan Taizuo's son relied on his power to be arrogant and domineering, and was ignored by everyone. But in front of the Sui army, he was crushed to death like a bug.

    Seeing that the cavalry of the Sui army in the west was no less than that in the east, and there was no way to escape, Gao Jianwu began to regret why he had not listened to Princess Pinggang.  If you choose to hold on, you can still have a response. Now if you break out rashly and are attacked from both sides by the Sui army, with no danger to defend, wouldn't it mean that you are about to perish.

    Seeing that Chen Yinglong and his men were resisting desperately, and then being overwhelmed by the tide of Sui troops, Gao Jianwu hurriedly took Zuo Gong's hand and said, "Quick, go another way."

    But there is no way out.

    The Goguryeo camp is located in a valley, with an open center and narrow sides, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.  This place was originally chosen to defend against external enemies, but it also restricted attacks from within.

    Gao Jianwu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, not knowing what to do.

    This was Zuo Gong¡¯s suggestion. There was a path on the mountain that led directly to the back of the mountain along the cliff. They could break out of the encirclement and evacuate the valley through this path.  Gao Jianwu was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly ordered Zuo Gong to escort him along the mountain trail.

    Zuo Gong said with some embarrassment: "The path behind the mountain goes down the cliff. It is rugged and difficult to walk. This path is not dangerous and cannot be defended. Once the Sui army discovers it and blocks the path, it will be a dilemma.  "

    Not letting the Sui army notice it meant that they had to take a small path from the back of the mountain to break out, and they couldn't bring many people with them, so they had to advance secretly.

    The Sui army was not a fool. It was impossible for them to let a large number of Goguryeo people leave. Once they saw everyone heading towards the back of the mountain, they directly ordered a flanking attack, and everyone would become a turtle in a urn.

    If you want to break through, you must abandon your troops.

    Gao Jianwu was a little reluctant to give up. In troubled times, the army was the most important thing. If he gave up these soldiers, what would he do to rebuild the great cause of liberation?  But if they don't give up, it won't work. They are blocked in the valley, unable to advance or retreat, and they are obviously going to be captured by the Sui army.

    Gao Jianwu was cruel. If the army was gone, he could still recruit it. He was the king of Goguryeo, so he could still recruit an army, but if he died here, he would have no chance at all.

    So Gao Jianwu chose to abandon the army and only ordered Zuo Gong to take more than ten guards with superb martial arts to escort him to retreat from the road.

    In order to deceive the Sui army, Gao Jianwu took off his royal uniform and put on the clothes of an ordinary soldier. He also asked his subordinates to wear his clothes to attract the attention of the Sui army.

    "Gao Jianwu is here, Gao Jianwu is here!"

    The guard pretending to be Gao Jianwu rushed towards the crowd, rolled over and shouted, attracting everyone's attention.  After hearing the inquiry, the Sui army immediately moved in the direction of the fake Gao Jianwu, and no one noticed the real Gao Jianwu for a long time.

    In this way, Zuo Gong escorted Gao Jianwu to the trail behind the mountain.

    This trail is indeed rugged and difficult to navigate. It is not so much a road as it is a narrow path close to the cliff that can be stepped on.  The top is still full of thorns, and if you are not careful, you will fall to the bottom of the cliff.

    Gao Jianwu is like a plucked phoenix, but he has never suffered like this.  Touching and crawling all the way, using his hands and feet, Gao Jianwu soon fell and injured himself in two places, and even lost his shoes.

    At this time, the Sui army had initially occupied the Goguryeo camp and began to search in all directions.

    The guard pretending to be Gao Jianwu attracted a lot of attention, and was finally surrounded by countless Sui troops.  This guard was also very loyal. Seeing that he could not get out of trouble, he picked up a knife and killed himself in front of others, which was considered as his loyalty.

    Seeing that Gao Jianwu was beheaded, the Sui army was overjoyed. They cut off the head of the fake Gao Jianwu and went to report their merits. No one noticed the authenticity of Gao Jianwu.

    Under the protection of Zuo Gong, Gao Jianwu finally climbed over the trail of the back mountain and reached the back of the mountain.  From here to the north, there is a forest not far away. As long as you escape into the forest, you can avoid the Sui army's search and be completely safe.

    But fate just plays tricks on people like this, before everyone has time toHappy, they met the Sui army's patrol force head on.

    Meng Chen Qi had already ordered people to attack in all directions to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.

    At this time, the Sui army also discovered Gao Jianwu and his entourage. Although the Sui army did not know Gao Jianwu's identity, they would not let these people escape if they encountered a rout.

    When Zuo Gong saw the Sui army, he was shocked and knew that he was invincible. He quickly escorted Gao Jianwu and fled up the mountain, while ordering the rest of the people to stay and break up the rear.

    These people were just trying to buy time for Gao Jianwu and Gao Jianwu, so they fought to the death and eventually all died in the battle.

    The mountain road was also rugged. After the Sui army killed a few people in the rear, although they saw some people fleeing up the mountain, they were all cavalry and could not catch up, so they did not pursue them.

    Besides, the two of them looked like just two soldiers, so they were insignificant.

    Gao Jianwu rolled and crawled back. While escaping, Zuo Gong was hit by an arrow in his right chest in order to cover Gao Jianwu.  By the time the two climbed to the top of the mountain, he was covered in blood and could no longer hold on.

    Zuo Gong knew that he could not hold on for long. At this time, he could not go to the valley or go down the mountain. He was in a dilemma.

    At this time, Zuo Gong thought that there was a dry well in the back mountain. He didn¡¯t know when it was dug. There was no water in it.  In this case, Gao Jianwu can be allowed to hide inside temporarily, and then climb out after the Sui army leaves.

    Zuo Gong told Gao Jianwu his thoughts. Gao Jianwu was a little reluctant at first. He was a majestic king, but he climbed into the well to hide in such an ugly way, which was detrimental to the dignity of the king.

    While hesitating, he suddenly heard a noise. Gao Jianwu was shocked, and without caring about his dignity, he hurriedly let Zuo Gong lower him down on the rope.  This dry well is not deep, and the landfill accumulated over time is only two or three feet long.  However, there are overgrown weeds at the entrance of the well, which can be used as a cover.  The rope is tied to the windlass. When Gao Jianwu wants to come out, he can hang on the rope and climb out.

    After Zuo Gong finished doing this, he felt dizzy and unable to hold on.

    But Zuo Gong was also a loyal minister and knew that even if he died, he could not die here, lest the Sui army found his body and would be suspicious of Dry Well.

    So Zuo Gong staggered forward with his spear, and when he reached the foot of the mountain, he reached the cliff. He looked at the steep road below, gritted his teeth and jumped down.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
