Chapter 389 Outside the East Gate, the King of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan! Here, and more)
Chapter 389
Gao Yuan's ashen complexion changed once again.
He muttered to himself gloomily.
"At that time, they would either throw stones or fire starters into the city.
No matter what it is, if we wait in the royal capital, we will never have peace."
"When that time comes, let alone a year and a half, I'm afraid it won't last even half a month.
There will definitely be chaos in the military morale in the city, and resentment among the people. At that time, I will become the thorn in the Sui army..."
Yuan Zhengxiong also felt a chill in his heart. He leaned close to Gao Yuan's ear and spoke quickly and in a very low voice.
"Your Majesty, I ask your Majesty to make a quick decision. You must not let the Sui army continue, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, Your Majesty and the royal capital will be in a dead end."
"Do you mean to let me abandon the city and flee when the Sui army has just attacked the city?" Gao Yuan looked at Gao Jian fiercely.
"Your Majesty, my heart can shine like the sun and the moon. If you stay here, it will be useless." Yuan Zhengxiong quickly fell to the ground.
"At this moment, I can only hope that Your Majesty will lead the expedition in person and lead the five thousand cavalry in the city to leave the city immediately."
"Only the five thousand cavalry roaming outside can scare the Sui troops outside the city."
"And Your Majesty can also take it easy, attack or walk away..."
Having said this, I saw the hesitation on Gao Yuan's face.
Gao Jian had already driven away a group of civil and military officials, who also stayed behind and prostrated themselves on the ground.
"Your Majesty, what General Yuan said makes sense. Your Majesty is here at this moment, and Goguryeo is here. If your Majesty makes a mistake, we will never forgive you."
"After your Majesty leaves the city, if the Sui army is too powerful to be defeated, you can go straight to the north and join up with Yuondong and Eulji Dadulu."
"The location of the main force of our Goguryeo army will definitely be stable if it can be protected by His Majesty's divine power. Only in this way can we, Goguryeo, be safe and peaceful."
Gao Yuan looked at the two men with a sullen face. He also understood what the two ministers meant, about going out of the city to fight guerrillas.
The latter sentence was the true meaning, so he hurriedly headed north under the cover of five thousand cavalry.
Now Goguryeo's main army of 300,000 troops is deployed in Liaodong and both sides of the Yalu River.
If I really had an emergency here, would there be any reason for Goguryeo to survive?
At that time, Wang's brother Rongliu Wang Gao Jianwu, who stayed there to support the army in accordance with his own will, will certainly not be too sad about his death.
Presumably he would be overjoyed to become the new leader of Goguryeo with the support of Eulji Mundeok and Yeon Taejo.

After pondering for a long time, Gao Yuan sighed quietly and then asked.
"Then in your opinion, who is in charge of the defense of the royal capital?"
"The general (my younger brother) is willing to take charge." At this time, both of them knew very well and absolutely did not dare to hesitate at all.
Otherwise, it is very likely that those who hesitate will not show their loyalty to the king.
"No, you are all my king's ministers. I need your advice and suggestions around me."
"Well, among all the officials in the city, I really can't think of a more suitable candidate." Gao Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face remained calm.
"I also feel that there is no one more suitable than me."
"Let Ming Lin Pei (Pei is the official name) come over."
"I see your Majesty, I wonder what your Majesty's orders are?"
"Ming Linqing, I have an important task. The only person I can trust at this moment is Ming Lin, who recommends you."
Gao Yuan pulled Ming Lin Jiangu not far away to communicate in a low voice, while Gao Jian and Na Yuan Zhengxiong both stood up, looked at each other, and then looked away with tacit understanding.
At this moment, not far away, loud noises were still heard, although the barbican still stood in the billowing smoke.
But both of them knew very well that when the Wengcheng collapsed, the Sui people's stone bullets might wreak havoc into the royal capital.
At that time, they can imagine how miserable the entire royal capital of Goguryeo will become without closing their eyes...
As long as the Sui army is given enough time, there is no problem even if the entire royal capital is smashed into rubble.
Boom, boom, boom...
The huge noise made the Goguryeo defenders on top of the city sit on pins and needles, and along with the roar, streams of smoke and dust rose.
After that, the masonry and soil collapsed like a heavy rain.
Watching the towering and majestic appearance of the Wengcheng at the beginning, it slowly became tattered under the bombardment of the Sui army's thunderous chariots.
I am gradually thinking about the safe development of the ruins.
The loud noise at the beginning frightened the soldiers who were forced to board the city.
But as time went on, the barbican city was destroyed.
There was only numbness and despair in the eyes of the soldiers. It was a terrible thing that could not be stopped by human power, just like a natural disaster.
There is nothing that can be done except watching in despair.
Some people pray in despair, some cry in despair, and there are also some fearless warriors who work hard to inspire their companions.
He tried his best to shoot arrows towards the city, but it was all in vain.
At the gate of the palace, five thousand cavalry were already in full gear. The leader, Gao Yuan, who was wearing golden armor, glanced at the five thousand cavalry, as well as the king's brother Gao Jianyi Youyuan Zhengxiong.
Then he turned his horse's head and galloped away towards the east gate.
Five thousand iron cavalry marched with murderous intent. No matter they were ordinary people or Goguryeo's high-ranking officials, everyone was panic-stricken at this moment, but they were all desperate and powerless.

More than 1,000 rebel horses brought by 10,000 elites were scattered and arranged within a stone's throw from the east gate.
The moment they heard the intensive sound of hoofbeats coming from the east gate, all the soldiers quickly formed a neat military formation behind Juma.
On the top of the barbican city, the Goguryeo soldiers were getting denser and denser. Waves of arrows rained down from above, raining down on the city.
After driving the wandering Sui army cavalry out of the range of the arrows, an unpleasant sound rang out.
After countless Goguryeo cavalry poured out of the barbican city, they began to form close to the wall.
One thousand, two thousand, three thousand... More and more cavalry poured out of Pyongyang City, but they did not disperse in formation.
Instead, they gathered below the barbican and formed a blockade, facing the Sui army about two hundred steps away.
Zhou Fashang stood among the cavalry, holding the sword by his waist and narrowing his eyes tightly.
"Tell brothers, hold on tight. Anyone who retreats will be killed!"
"No!" the generals supervising the battle shouted loudly.
"Bang the drum! Let the brothers from the other three sects know the situation here."
As the military order was issued, two large drums exploded instantly. The shocking drum sound also made the Goguryeo cavalry on the opposite side tremble.
"General, look!" followed by the shouts of the generals around him.
Zhou Fashang saw a knight wearing luxurious golden armor, and beside him, there were more than a dozen generals wearing luxurious armor.
Zhou Fashang couldn't help but shouted loudly and subconsciously.
"The leader of Goguryeo, Gowon!"
But his roar was drowned in the sound of drums and hoofbeats in the sky.
Gao Yuanruo glanced at the Sui army's formation and waved his hand without hesitation...
