Chapter 588: Destroy Goguryeo(1/2)
"drive!"
On the endless grassland, a huge number of cavalry went east. The cavalry's clothing was obviously divided into three parts, including the Huns, Han people, Xianbei people, and people were equipped with two horses.
The flags such as "Liang", "Zhang", "Lu", "He" are flying in the wind, like big dragons with teeth and claws.
In the middle of the team, Zhang Yong rode his horse around the crowd.
The guide said to Zhang Yong: "June. After passing the front, the short mountain is the border town of Goguryeo [Wushan City]."
"Don't worry about [Wushancheng]. If we pass the order, we will go straight to the domestic city. The soldiers are very fast."
Zhang Yong shook his head and said.
"promise."
With Zhang Yong's order, the cavalry all agreed. The cavalry was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they passed the low mountain ahead and reached the south of Wushan City, and then headed straight towards the domestic city.
Wushan City is a small border town. The city is not big, but it is very strong and tall. It has a small population, but there are two thousand elite soldiers stationed.
It is an outpost for Goguryeo to guard against the Xianbei people.
At this moment, countless Goguryeo soldiers were staring at Liang Jun who were racing by in amazement.
Although they were guarding against the Xianbei people, their defense was relaxed.
The Xianbei people were captured by the Liang army and their vitality was severely damaged. How could they attack Goguryeo?
But they did not expect that Liang Jun would attack Goguryeo from this direction. No one expected.
Shouldn’t the Liang army confront Liaodong County in Youzhou? There are 50,000 elite soldiers from them there.
After being stunned, the soldiers became excited.
"That's Liang Jun. Damn it. They are going to go straight to the domestic city."
"Hurry, go and report to the general."
"Hurry, send Kuaima to the domestic city to report the news."
Not long after, the city guards received the news and immediately dispatched three teams of troops to the domestic city on fast horses.
The maneuverability of cavalry is revealed at this moment.
Even if Wushancheng's ears and eyes play a role, the information transmission of Wushancheng also requires cavalry to convey.
The speed of the cavalry was only slightly faster than that of the Liang army's large group of troops.
As Liang army entered Wushan City, all the cities along the way were stunned, and then they sent people to report the news to the domestic city.
Domestic city.
Royal Palace, in the side hall.
Bo Guzheng and Guojin Qiong drank tea together, Goguryeo's specialty, ginseng tea.
"This ginseng is a good thing, which can strengthen the body and replenish vitality. In recent years, my lonely body has been getting worse. But after taking this aging ginseng, you can be full of vitality." Bo Gu put it down after drinking the ginseng tea in the teacup, and said with a red face.
Qi Qiong also smiled and nodded and said, "Ginseng is indeed a good thing. The key is that only our Changbai Mountain can have it. The Han nobles attached more and more importance to ginseng, which brought a lot of benefits to Goguryeo. I hope this time, Master Liang can allow us to use ginseng to offset some of the food."
"Master Liang will definitely agree." Bo Gu nodded with a smile, and then joked: "I heard that Master Liang is a lustful person, Ye Yu three or five girls. If there was no ginseng, how could he bear it?"
"Hehe." Qi Qiong smiled and pinched her beard.
Although the Liang State formed an alliance with Goguryeo, both sides used Shanhaiguan as their border. Goguryeo obtained Liaodong County and was able to snatch Lelang County from Sanhan, which was profitable.
But I also have to pay tribute to a large number of materials and I have to pay tribute to the Liang Dynasty.
Bogu was still a little unhappy and discussed Zhang Xiu’s private life in private, which brought him a little bit of bad fun.
Zhang Xiu Ye Yu is three or five women. If he doesn’t have a big tonic, can he still lift it up?
A burst of hasty footsteps sounded. An old eunuch walked in from outside and said pale, "Report to Your Majesty, people from Wushan City are coming, and a large-scale cavalry of Liang's army attacked from the west. It seems that they were directly penetrated into the domestic city. Now it is probably less than twenty miles away from the city."
"What did you say?!!"
Bogu screamed in shock and stood up suddenly. Qi Qiong's face suddenly changed, revealing an incredible look.
Bogu was in fear, and he paced back and forth, murmured to himself: "Gu and Master Liang have just formed an alliance. Gu promised to Master Liang to give him gold, food, silver, brass, etc. Why did he attack our domestic city?"
"Have you confirmed the news?" Bogu raised his head and looked at the old eunuch with hope.
Don’t panic. Don’t panic. Bogu, King Goguryeo. This may be fake news.
"King. The official has confirmed it." The old eunuch smiled bitterly and said.
"How could this happen?" Bogu then fell back on the throne. He no longer had the previous high spirits, no longer the fun of discussing Zhang Xiu's private life in private, and only the fear of a broken dog.
The Liang army ignored the 50,000 Goguryeo elite soldiers in Liaodong and rushed straight to the domestic city. They were paralyzed and were completely unprepared.
There are only 3,000 elderly, weak, sick and disabled in the country. Although there are city walls, how can we fight against the soldiers of Liang soldiers who are like wolves and tigers?
Qi Qiong was also stunned, but he was more calm than Bogu. He said to Bogu: "King. There are only two ways now. One is to try to organize the strong men in the city to guard the city. Then call on troops from all over the country to come for rescue. The other is to leave the city immediately and run away."
"Get out of the city? Where can I go out of the city?" Bogu laughed terrified and said in a daze.
"No matter what, let's talk about it. Escape from the mountain Xiong family, or go to the [Sanhan]." Qi Qiong said immediately.
"Defend the city. If you escape, Orphan is just a dog that is stray. If you can win the bet, Orphan is still the King of Goguryeo." Bogu shook his head and said.
"Yes. Then I immediately went to organize the strong men in the city to guard the city." Qi Qiong nodded and went down immediately. Bogu hesitated for a moment, but ordered a few eunuchs to take out the armor and put it on for himself.
He doesn't hunt, and the armor is just a decoration. It's very beautiful, light, but has weak defense.
But even so, after putting on the armor, he felt heavy, his chest was stuffy and difficult to breathe. He asked the eunuch to take another small stool, and waited anxiously for the news after sitting down.
The domestic city is already in chaos.
The four city gates were closed by old and weak soldiers. Then they hurriedly sent people to the arsenal to get arrows and guard the city supplies.
Qi Qiong mobilized all the officials, yamen runners, and men to arrest the strong men in the city.
There is no way. The formation of Goguryeo country is still shallow, and the people's loyalty to the country is insufficient. It is useless at critical moments and needs to be strong.
Qi Qiong sent people to arrest the strong men while intimidating and rumoring.
"The Liang army is like a wolf or a tiger. After conquering the Xianbei tribe, they killed their male members who were higher than the wheel and raped all women. Once the Liang army enters the city, everyone will die without a place to bury them."
Under the arrest and intimidation, Qi Qiong reluctantly prepared 6,000 people to defend the city. At this time, the ground had already begun to tremble.
Qi Qiong sent someone to invite Bogu to the front line to inspire morale.
After Qi Qiong climbed up to the city wall, he looked ahead with a pale face. Countless Liang cavalrymen turned over and dismounted. Some soldiers began to build tents, while some soldiers went to the forest not far away to cut down trees.
It should be a camp wall and a ladder.
There were about two thousand iron-armored cavalry lined up in front of the city gate, staring at them as a protection.
Bogu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, becoming more and more desperate.
Under the city, Liang Jun.
Zhang Yong and Lu Xiong stood on horseback, and He Min was responsible for supervising the construction of the camp in the rear.
Zhang Yong turned his head and said to Lu Xiong: "It's just in case. It may not take a day to break through this city."
There is no way to set up camp. If the city cannot be captured, the soldiers will have no place to rest and sleep.
"Junhou said that according to the candles on the city, it only takes one hour to break through them." Lu Xiong looked up, his eyes full of contempt.
Zhang Yong thought for a while and sent a thousand iron-armored cavalry to block the east, north, and south of the city, respectively, and prevent Bogu from running away.
Soon after, the soldiers who went to cut down the trees came back. They brought a lot of wood, but also a ladder.
"Let the Xianbei people and the Huns separate 2,500 people. Take turns to attack the city and let the Xianbei people take the lead. General Lu. You lead 200 people to supervise the formation. If you dare to retreat and fail to forward, you will be killed without mercy." Zhang Yong did not think much and immediately ordered.
"promise."
Lu Xiong agreed and immediately went down to organize the manpower.
"Wuwuwuwu!!!" Amid the continuous sound of trumpets, the brave and warlike Xianbei warriors left their war horses, carried the ladders, and under the cover of archers, they charged towards the domestic city.
"kill!!!"
They spoke Xianbei language and shouted loudly.
There are no shields, no heavy siege equipment, only human lives to fill it.
"Shoot them!!!"
Bogu's face was pale, and then blood appeared, and blue veins swelled up and he shouted.
Although there are six thousand strong men in the city, there are only four thousand people in the west of the city, and there are very few archers.
"Swoosh swosh swosh!!!"
Some archers even panic, and the arrows slipped away from the bowstrings and shot lonely.
After seeing these scenes, Bogu's face turned pale. Liang Jun under the city became more and more motivated.
"Hahahaha. The Goguryeo people are such idiots and cowards."
"Work harder, let's get to the city first and win the first prize."
The Xianbei people shouted, and the speed was very fast.
