Chapter 91: The Yuan Family

"Put!" Su Dingfang calmly stared at the pass, and saw that the enemy had entered a hundred meters, and the catapult was also preparing, so he raised his left hand, waved it down, and ordered loudly.

"Buzz!" The sound of the bowstring sounded, and the thick and long crossbow arrows were shot at the siege equipment that had already been aimed, and the cowhide, which could originally protect against arrows, was no different from paper in front of the crossbow arrows, and was easily penetrated.

Cloud ladders, catapults, battering rams, these instruments are all made of wood, and they are basically broken when they are shot by crossbow arrows, even if they can continue to be used, they are not as convenient as before, and they may collapse at any time.

The battering ram was pierced by the crossbow arrows even worse, and was directly nailed to the ground, unable to move, and it took a lot of effort to cut off the crossbow arrows and continue to move forward, as the key stone throwing vehicle, almost wiped out, even if it could still be used, the soldiers were startled, panicked and at a loss.

Twenty catapults, throwing simple polished cobblestones, smashed to the ground, and had to roll for a distance, even if they did not hit people, they would be injured by rolling, and they were smashed to pieces like a large cowhide shield, leaving a blur of flesh and blood.

The power of the crossbow is also not to be underestimated, especially the Goguryeo people are many within the range, because the crossbow arrow is very powerful, more than the bow and arrow, so the crossbow arrow is better crosshair, not easy to be affected by external factors and deviations, so it rarely misses, and the crossbowmen are aimed at important targets, either low-level generals, or giant shield bearers, or siege equipment.

A crossbowman shot first, disrupting the formation, and the archers picked it up again, and when they saw the stitches, they all shot at the exposed people.

In the frightened gaze of Yuangai Suwen, the attack team he had carefully prepared was beaten to pieces in one shot, although there were not many people killed in the battle, but most of the siege equipment was wasted, and the morale fell to the bottom.

Yuan Gai Suwen deserved to be the number one master of Goguryeo, and he did not live up to Yuan Taizuo's expectations, so he immediately calmed down and ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

"I'm sorry Father, I disappointed you!" Yuangai Suwen bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Don't worry, it's nothing, we didn't expect that the forces of Liaodong City actually have so many strong crossbows! It is worthy of the Central Plains, much more advanced than our technology, which is far beyond our craftsmen. Yuan Taizuo shook his head slightly and comforted.

Although Yuan Taizuo's ability is average, he still has a vision, especially for the Central Plains, he knows a lot, because he followed his father Yuan Ziyou and guarded Liaodong City for more than ten years, and he has seen too much.

The Yuan family can sit firmly in the first family of Goguryeo, and the royal family is almost evenly matched, the main hero is Yuan Ziyou, Yuan Ziyou has guarded Liaodong for decades, defeated Yang Jian, defeated Yang Guang has most of his credit, whether it is the people, or the army, he has a very high reputation, and there are also a lot of subordinates, which makes people jealous.

Yizhi Wende is because the Infant Yang King enabled him, brewed a few decisive victories, and the Infant Yang King deliberately promoted it, so he has the title of the God of War, of course, this is not to say that Yizhi Wende is not good, but Yuanziyou not only has a background, but also has a longer layout time.

Because of the launch of Yizhi Wende by the King of Yingyang, coupled with the power of the royal family, Yuan Ziyou decisively chose to temporarily avoid the edge, retired behind the scenes, and waited until the King of Yingyang died, this time for the sake of the family, and reappeared.

"Father, what you said is, no one would have thought that this force with the Khitans as the main force would have so many strong crossbows, originally thought that they were only strong in cavalry, although they paid enough attention to it, everyone still underestimated them." Yuangai Suwen said with a pair of eagle eyes, staring at the top of the level.

"Since it's difficult to overcome, forget it, anyway, we also plan to attack Baiyan, arrange it, don't let the other side see it, you take someone to fight Baiyan, and your father is here to contain it." Yuan Taizuo said.

"It's... Father left contained? It's enough to keep a general here, so why risk your life. Yuangai Suwen whispered.

"Huh! Although the father has no power to restrain the chicken, but he has also gone through the battlefield for decades, this little thing, there is no problem, and this time it is related to our Yuan family's plan for ten thousand years, and there is no room for loss, and I don't worry about others. Yuan Taizuo smiled confidently.

"Yes, the child understands, so let's arrange it!" Yuangai Suwen didn't hesitate either, and left with a promise.

Su Dingfang saw that the Goguryeo people had only attacked two waves, so he retreated far away, and guessed their intentions, which was nothing more than to rectify morale, or to attack elsewhere, but the troops in his hands were limited and could not take the attack, so he had to arrange people to clean up the battlefield and defend with peace of mind.

……………………

Yuanziyou personally led the troops all the way, with the original intention of going to Nansu and Mudi, crossing the river to attack the original new city, and then turning to attack Xuansu and attacking Liaodong. Only after sending troops did they find that the three cities of the South Soviet Union had been lost, and then they wanted to cross the river and fight, the difficulty was not small, the river was blocked by Zou Yu with a steel wire, the ships could not pass, and it took too long to make a detour, and after losing several boats, they could only give up, leaving 5,000 people to guard the opposite bank, and instead attack Gaimu City.

……………

Just when Yuangai Suwen attacked Hengshan Pass, the other three great families of Goguryeo attacked Baiyan City at the same time.

The earliest founder of Goguryeo, Zhumeng, at that time the Liaodong Peninsula was still a barren, only tribal cottages, and people also had names without surnames, so many people were given surnames by Zhumeng, and after Zhumeng himself founded Goguryeo, he also changed his surname to Gao. (Out of Goguryeo-Honki)

Whether it is the peninsula or the Wajima across the sea, in order to rule, the surname is generally given as a reward, especially for some people with better ability, and no background of the cold family, as a means of envelopment, but also to show the level of identity, people without a surname, and then in the eyes of people with a surname, it will be inferior, with the passage of time, this distinction is slowly accepted by the world, including those who do not have a surname, of course! This is related to the fact that people with surnames generally have a certain status and status, and the gap between the rich and the poor slowly widens, and they can no longer look down on people with the same status as before.

After getting rich, the mentality will inevitably change, and then the contact personnel are different, many people will look down on their former friends, which is a norm, and after a long time, they will feel superior.

In order to stabilize the dominant position, the ruler will of course deliberately divide people into several classes, which is a development trend of all ethnic groups, but they show different results, some are particularly strict, some are much more relaxed, the Central Plains is a country of etiquette, although the family is arrogant in the bones, but there is no shortage of etiquette, and the treatment is much more elegant, and it will not behave so extremely.
