"As ordered!"

Feng Hong and his party were the most important excuse for Zhao Junsheng to send troops to attack Goguryeo. If Feng Hong and his party were captured now, it would be difficult to fight this battle, and it would be difficult to explain to the court. Only Feng Hong and his party escaped all the way. , he can keep fighting!

In terms of long-distance raids, Gao Xu's ability is obviously better than Yuchi Yandong's. In just a few days, he went down three cities. This is the essence of his own surprise and long-distance raids. It is the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty. The number of Han people is far more than that of the barbarians. The Han people were exploited and humiliated under the rule of Goguryeo. When the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains court came, their active cooperation played a great role.

Zhao Junsheng had just issued an order to Gao Xu, and soon someone came to report the emergency military situation: "General Qi, the scout team found a Goguryeo army a hundred miles east of Xiangping City. The number is about 5000. Two thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry! Judging from the direction they came from, this Goguryeo army should start from the inner city!"

The domestic city is the last capital of Goguryeo.In the fourth year of Shiguang (AD 427), Gao Lian, the king of Goguryeo, moved the capital from the inner city to Pyongyang to avoid the threat of the Northern Wei Dynasty and to strengthen his control over Silla and Baekje.

Although the domestic city at this time was no longer the capital of Goguryeo, it was still one of the most important cities in Goguryeo and the political and military center of Goguryeo in the northern territory.

Zhao Junsheng quickly found the location of the Goguryeo army from the map at this time, and he immediately ordered Yuchi Yandong to lead his troops to ambush in a hidden place on the north bank of the Daliang River, and Chang Kun to lead his army to ambush in a hidden place south of the Daliang River. place.

The Goguryeo soldiers who were advancing had no idea that Xiangping City had already been breached by Zhao Junsheng's soldiers, and they were still ordered to garrison Xiangping City.

Zhao Junsheng led his army to guard Xiangping City, waiting for the Koguryo army to come.

At noon the next day, the Goguryeo army finally arrived at Xiangping City. The Goguryeo flag was still hanging on the top of the city, but the city gate was closed, which made the Goguryeo army's general Zhuduo very puzzled.

Zhuduo's surname is Gao, and Gao Zhuduo is the eldest son of Gao Lian, the king of Goguryeo. He is 24 years old this year.

Gao Zhuduo looked up at the tower and shouted: "Zhuduo was ordered by the king to lead the army to come for reinforcements. Which general is on duty at the top of the city? It's okay to open the city gate and let the prince lead the army into the city!"

All the flags on the top of the city fell suddenly, and countless banners of the Youzhou Army were erected in an instant.

At this time, there was a loud shout from the top of the city.

: "Arrow—"

"Swish, swish..." The arrows flew down like no money, and countless Goguryeo soldiers would be shot and fell down.

"Retreat——" Gao Zhuduo uttered a shrill cry, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and galloped away in the direction it came from.

"Kacha Kacha..." The city gate opened quickly, the suspension bridge was lowered quickly, and a cavalry led by Zhao Junsheng came out of the city and charged towards the retreating Goguryeo army.

The Goguryeo soldiers were already in a panic at this time, and when Zhao Junsheng led the cavalry in such a charge, they collapsed in an instant.

Under the protection of his personal guards, Gao Zhuduo galloped on his horse and fled to the east in embarrassment. The other Goguryeo soldiers would flee in all directions, but they were quickly blocked back. To the north was the Daliang River. Goguryeo soldiers who fled to the river will be washed away one by one by the river.

The Koguryo army fleeing to the south and east was surrounded by a large number of generals led by Chang Kun, and Zhao Junsheng led cavalry to kill them in the rear. Intercept capture.

There was already a one-sided massacre on the battlefield. Until dusk, when the battle ended, Gao Zhuduo, the eldest son of King Goguryeo, died in the rebellion. More than 800 of the 100 Goguryeo soldiers will be killed, and more than [-] people will be killed. Captured, but these prisoners were all executed by Zhao Junsheng without exception.

After disposing of this Goguryeo army, Zhao Junsheng and Wei Chiyandong led the army to attack Liaoyang, Wangping, Houcheng and Gaoxian counties with their backs.

Zhao Junsheng stayed in Xiangping City with 3000 Youzhou troops and [-] surrendered Yan troops. The [-] people he led continued to advance eastward along the Daliang River.

On the third day of June, Zhao Junsheng's army was blocked at the city of Heshenggu.

Heshenggu City is the first generation capital of Goguryeo, built on top of a mountain. Although Goguryeo moved the capital to Domestic City and Pyongyang City successively, the military defense function of this first generation capital has been preserved. A small number of troops can stop a large number of enemy attacks.

Here, no matter how many enemy troops are attacking, they will not be able to use it. However, the defenders in Hesheng Bone City only need a small amount of troops to defend this place as solid as gold.

For more than ten days in a row, Zhao Junsheng launched several attacks, but each time he was repelled and returned without success. Fortunately, the loss was not large.

At this time, Gao Xu's army had completely occupied the Liaodong Peninsula, chasing and killing Feng Hong all the way to the Anping River, but Feng Hong and his party escaped across the river.

It was already June [-]th when Zhao Junsheng received the battle report sent by Gao Xu. After several consecutive failed sieges, he knew that he could not use conventional siege methods to attack Heshenggu City, so he selected five hundred soldiers from the army. Strong and flexible warriors, teach them the method of rock climbing.

On June [-]th, Zhao Junsheng launched a large army to attack Hesheng Bone City head-on, and sent five hundred strong and agile warriors to climb up the side cliffs, so they entered the city in one fell swoop, killed the defenders, and captured Hesheng. bone city.

This Heshenggu City is a hurdle in front of the domestic city, and now the Youzhou army has passed this hurdle under the command of Zhao Junsheng, and their soldiers are pointing directly at the domestic city.

There was originally an acropolis in the domestic city, five miles away, called Wandu Mountain City, which was protected by mountains. During peacetime, the king of Goguryeo lived in the inner city. Once a war broke out, the king of Goguryeo moved to Wandu Mountain City. The mountain city was captured by Murong Hao of Qianyan, and the Wandu mountain city was almost destroyed. The king of Goguryeo thought it could not be repaired.

"General, I found out that the guard of the domestic city is the Goguryeo general Ge Lu who took Feng Hong away. According to the confessions of the nearby Goguryeo people and the interrogation of the Goguryeo soldiers we captured, there are more than 11 defenders in the city. , [-] people!" The scout reported to Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng knew that the south of the inner city was the Yalu River. As long as the inner city was captured, the north of the Yalu River would basically be in his hands.

Zhao Junsheng looked at the city and asked Li Yuande, "How can the parts of the siege equipment be delivered?"

"General, the parts of the siege equipment are heavy and difficult to transport. It will take at least two days to arrive!"

Zhao Junsheng told Chang Kun: "Take 3000 people and go to the city to scream and see if the Goguryeo people dare to go out of the city to fight!"

"Yes, General!" Chang Kun immediately took three thousand cavalry and galloped to the city to challenge the Koguryo defenders.

At first, the Goguryeo defenders ignored it, but later Chang Kun asked the soldiers to scold the city wall defenders, and the Goguryeo soldiers jumped their feet angrily.

The guard Ge Lu was scolded miserably. He was the most vicious and vicious one. Ge Lu had a bad temper. He originally wanted to obey the order of Goguryeo King Gao Lian and just guard and not fight, but after scolding him all morning, Ge Lu Lu's nose was so angry that he couldn't take it anymore. After noon, he opened the city gate and led [-] cavalry to fight Chang Kun.

Chang Kun saw it just right, and when Ge Lu led [-] cavalry to rush over, he immediately gestured, and the cavalry behind him quickly split into two. Any damage to Wei Jun, but Wei Jun kept shooting arrows from both sides, causing heavy losses.

Chang Kun was the one who scolded him the most. Ge Lu had already set his sights on Chang Kun, and rushed to kill Chang Kun first.

Chang Kun was not afraid, he rode his horse to meet him and fought. Ge Lu did have the ability to be arrogant, and he fought Chang Kun evenly in Wuyi.

The two fought for half an hour and there was no sign of losing either side.

Zhao Junsheng, who was in the distance, saw that going on like this would be detrimental to Chang Kun's soldiers and horses. After all, he had been exposed to the sun all morning, and his physical strength was exhausted, and his morale was also greatly depleted. If it was delayed, the situation might reverse. He immediately He took out his long bow and arrow and shot at Ge Lu.

Ge Lu distractedly picked up an arrow shot by Zhao Junsheng, but was chopped off by Chang Kun's horse.

As soon as Ge Lu died, the cavalry he brought out fell apart in an instant. They wanted to retreat into the city but couldn't. The defenders in the city refused to open the door. The Goguryeo cavalry chose to surrender.

Zhao Junsheng was in a good mood for a while: "Come here, let the 5000 people in the city surrender, otherwise once the city is broken, everything will be destroyed!"

Chapter 578

A chilling atmosphere enveloped the inner city, and the continuous barracks of the Youzhou Army outside the city surrounded the entire inner city.

The people in the city were panicked, and the residents hid their valuables and food cleanly. The grain and oil stores in the city had long been looted by the residents. No one maintains law and order in the city, allowing these gangsters to act unscrupulously.

The Koguryo soldiers and generals on the city wall were tense, as if they were facing a big enemy, and they did not dare to slack off at all.

In the tooth tent of the Youzhou military camp outside the city, Zhao Junsheng walked back and forth in front of the sand table with his arms folded. The sand table was filled with flags. Xuantu County and Liaodong County, which were originally occupied by Goguryeo, have all been planted with flags of Youzhou Army. banner.

Guo Yi came in and reported: "General, General Gao Xu, who has already defeated Anping, and General Yuchi who defeated Gaoxian sent reports respectively. General Gao Xu has captured 7000 Goguryeo soldiers along the way; Goguryeo soldiers, they asked the general, how to deal with these prisoners?"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, and ordered: "Let Gao Xu send people to gather all the captives in Anping, and I will send people there to take the captives to the inner city! As for the captives on Yuchi Yandong, let him go there Execute it, the distance is too far, it will take time and effort to escort it, and accidents will easily occur on the way, it is not worth the trouble!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng then sent Li Yuande with [-] troops to Anping to escort the prisoners.

A few days later, all the spare parts of the heavy siege equipment arrived, and Li Yuande also escorted more than 1 prisoners from Anping.

Among the soldiers and generals who surrendered, a Goguryeo general was brought into the tooth tent by several soldiers.
