In a courtyard on the street, dozens of Goguryeo soldiers were fighting stubbornly, relying on the terrain to resist the Tang army's attack. There were more than a dozen soldiers squatting on the roof of the house, shooting the Tang army with bows and arrows, suppressing the Tang army's crazy attack.
.
However, the Tang army continued to pour into the city like a tide, and the streets and alleys were gradually captured. The defenders scattered everywhere were wiped out one by one. This courtyard has gradually become an isolated island. There are no reinforcements and no retreat. It will only be a matter of time before it is captured.
However, this group of defenders was very tenacious and their fighting power was so good that the Tang army was unable to invade the courtyard and annihilate them for a while.
The archers on the roof, who were preparing to shoot the Tang army with their bows and arrows, suddenly heard a commotion in the streets outside. They looked up and were startled.
I saw a large group of Tang troops swarming from the street and charging towards the Commander's Mansion in the city.
The leader was wearing a helmet and riding on a horse, surrounded by many elite cavalry. He looked like an important figure in the Tang army.
The archer was obviously an officer, and he immediately shouted to his subordinates: "Put up your bow and arrow, and shoot that Tang general!"
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the group of Tang troops galloping past the courtyard wall.
The outer city fell, and the Tang army rushed into the city like a tide. Anshi City would definitely not be able to defend it. Moreover, they were surrounded here at the moment, with Tang troops from all directions. Sooner or later they would be killed. If they could kill one person before they died,
Didn’t the generals of the Tang army make a profit?
Upon hearing this, more than a dozen subordinates immediately drew their bows and arrows and aimed at the target.
The archer adjusted his breathing and aimed one eye at the Tang Army general on the horse. The moment he was about to gallop past the wall of the front yard, he shouted: "Let go!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The bowstring vibrated, and more than ten arrows pierced the void, shooting out like flashpoints.
…
His Majesty Li Er held a sword in his hand and rode on a horse, galloping through the streets of Yu'an City. He was so excited that he wanted to look up to the sky and roar a few times to vent his excitement.
How many years have you not been able to ride with such joy and kill enemies?
Since he ascended the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, although he has mastered the most extreme power in the world, he has also lost the freedom to act arbitrarily in the past. Every move, every word and every deed must be in compliance with etiquette, reflect the power of God, and slightly
Doing something wrong will not only damage the emperor's dignity, but also lead to the impeachment of countless imperial censors.
Even if you can even play with a bird, that veteran Wei Zheng will spit on your face, let alone charge into battle and kill the enemy with a sword like this?
What a pleasure!
The excessive excitement made His Majesty Li Er feel as if there was a fire burning in his chest, and he urgently needed to find an opening to vent his anger completely. He waved his sword on horseback and shouted: "Enter the Commander's Mansion and capture Yi alive."
Zhi Wende!"
Eulji Mundeok had been the chief of Goguryeo before, and was a confidant of Yeon Gaesomun's father, Yeon Taejo. After the death of Yeon Taejo, he succeeded him as the chief of Goguryeo, and then after Yeongaesomun grew up, he would become the chief minister of Goguryeo.
The position of Prime Minister No was handed over to Yeon Gaesumun as his successor.
It's just that Yuan Gaisuwen looked down upon this superficial official position of Da Dui Lu. In name, it seemed to be similar to the "Prime Minister" of the Central Plains, but there was a huge difference in power and responsibilities, so he simply created his own "Da Mo Li Zhi" and became
The de facto supreme ruler of Goguryeo completely eclipsed the King of Goguryeo...
Eulji Mundeok is the current defender of Ansi City.
Eulji Wende is of Han descent. It is said that his ancestor was a branch of the Yuchi family in the Central Plains. In his early years, he came to Goguryeo to escape the war. This man was both civil and military, and his strategy was unparalleled. For eight years, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent Yu Wenshu to lead Yu Zhongwen. , Jing Yuanheng, Xue Shixiong, Xin Shixiong, Zhang Jin, Zhao Cai, Cui Hongsheng, and Wei Xuan's army, a total of 300,000 people, crossed the Liao River and crossed the Goryeo cities, and concentrated in the west of the Yalu River to cooperate with the navy to attack Pyongyang. The result was a mistake. Eulji Mundeok's plan to fake surrender resulted in a disastrous defeat for the army. This battle was called the "Great Victory of Sasu" by the Goguryeo people, making Euljiwendeok the national hero of Goguryeo with unparalleled momentum.
He is now a figure in the Goguryeo army whose prestige and power is second only to Yeon Gaesumun.
If he could be captured alive, the impact on the morale of the Goguryeo army would be immeasurable.
The surrounding soldiers gathered around His Majesty Li Er, and they were all excited. There was really smoke coming out of the ancestral graves. How many people in the world had fought side by side with the emperor and charged into battle?
Li Ji, who was following His Majesty Li Er, was completely speechless. He thought to himself what was going on with His Majesty, how could he be so stupid? In the chaos of the army, a general must not reveal his identity easily, otherwise he would be easily attacked by the enemy. Regarding attacks, a little carelessness can cause disaster.
Just as he was thinking this, from the corner of his eye, he saw a dozen people standing up from the roof of a courtyard on the left side of the street.
Li Jing has been in the army for many years and has rich experience in battle. He does not need to look closely to see whether the opponent has any weapons in his hand. He can subconsciously guess the identity of these people just from their posture - crossbowmen!
A bone-chilling chill instantly rose from the bottom of his heart. Li Ji's eyes were about to burst and he shouted: "Protect me!"
Immediately, he rode forward, intending to block His Majesty Li Er from behind. However, at this moment, the horse was galloping, and the horse was very fast. How could it be possible to catch up with His Majesty Li Er's horse in an instant?
I could only watch as dozens of arrows streaked through the void, shooting at His Majesty Li Er like lightning.
Fortunately, His Majesty Li Er reacted very quickly. He reacted the moment he heard Li Ji's exclamation of warning. From the corner of his eye, he saw more than ten people on the ridge of a roof on the left. At the same time, he lowered his head and leaned forward. Holding the reins tightly with one hand, he twisted his body and hid on the right side of the horse. While the horse was galloping, a "hiding in the stirrup" appeared, relying on the huge body of the horse to completely block himself, with only one leg exposed behind the horse's body. left side.
"Swish swish"
More than a dozen arrows flew past His Majesty Li Er's ears in the flash of lightning, causing His Majesty Li Er to break out in a cold sweat.
However, before he could be thankful that he had arrived, he heard the war horse neighing "Herod", jerking its neck, and suddenly using all four hooves to rush forward.
His Majesty Li Er screamed in his heart, this must be the horse hit by an arrow!
An injured and frightened horse will go crazy and kick. No matter how well-trained a war horse is, it can't erase its nature. Once it is thrown off the horse's back and is running wildly at high speed, it can range from serious injuries to death!
The horrified cries of Li Ji and others came to his ears, but His Majesty Li Er felt that his thinking was clearer than ever before. He held the horse's rein tightly with one hand, quickly threw away the sword with the other hand, grabbed the saddle, and exerted force on his waist and abdomen, He immediately climbed onto the horse's back and sat firmly on the saddle.
Although the balance was restored, the four hooves of the war horse under its crotch were writhing and furious, and it thrust forward and backward like crazy, intending to throw off His Majesty Li Er on his back. Fortunately, although His Majesty Li Er has been pampered in recent years, he was still the same back then.
The master of horse training was not messy at all. He clamped the horse's belly with his legs, trying to calm down the horse's mood. He grabbed the horse's rein with both hands, pulling hard on the left side, trying to make the horse turn around.
Run back on the road.
Because a large group of Goguryeo defenders appeared in front. Although they were fighting with the Tang army, they were obviously disturbed by the neighing of frightened horses. Many people looked over...
If he collided directly with him, wouldn't he become the target of public criticism?
They quickly reined in their horses and ran back. Li Ji and others were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Following closely behind them, a large group of people came rushing towards them and then disappeared suddenly.
The soldiers who followed behind didn't know what was going on and looked at each other...
The frightened war horse ran straight back to the city gate. Only then did he finally understand. He gasped for breath and slowly slowed down.
Li Ji, Zhou Daowu and others who came after hearing the news quickly got off their horses and rushed forward. While holding on to the reins of the horses, they helped His Majesty Li Er off the horse.
His Majesty Li Er landed on his feet, staggered, and held the horse's belly tightly for a long time to prevent him from being thrown off the horse's back, which actually made his legs sore...
However, he was also secretly glad. Who said that taking elixirs is all harmful except for the illusory art of becoming an immortal? At least the elixirs can not only cheer up the spirit, but also can make people stay in a state of excitement for a long time, and at the same time improve body functions and reactions.
It is also more agile.
Otherwise, not only would it be impossible to dodge the hidden arrows this time, but it would also be impossible for him to ride a frightened horse and run so far, and end up safe and sound...
Li Ji had just calmed down from the shock. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed His Majesty Li Er's sleeve. He almost cried and begged: "Your Majesty, you are the king of ten thousand chariots. How could you be in such danger? What if there is any danger?"
No, we are all the sinners of the world! I sincerely ask Your Majesty to quickly return to the military camp and command from the center. There will be ministers on the battlefield who will do their best to die!"
