Chapter 273: The Battle of Goguryeo (7)
Zhu Dali led 200 people to the west gate, but Gongsun Du led the army to attack the palace but was met with great resistance.
"This is the elite of Goguryeo guarding the royal palace!"
Gongsun Du looked at the soldiers who appeared on the wall of the Goguryeo palace and inflicted a head-on attack on himself and others, and instantly understood the identity of the other party, the last time, they had a brief fight, which impressed him.
That time, Gongsun Du sensed the other party's combat effectiveness, mainly to disturb him in the pill capital, he had no intention of wasting time to continue entanglement, and chose to retreat, this time ......
"Leave 3,000 people here to attack, and the rest will come with so-and-so!"
A royal palace naturally cannot have only one gate for entry and exit, there must be other doors. The defenders of the palace are indeed elite, but it is difficult for these people to guard every gate of the huge palace without leaking. Gongsun Du is now going to find this weak point and then kill it.
The defenders at the gate of the palace also knew Gongsun Du's intentions, but Gongsun Du left, and the 3,000 soldiers left behind launched a fierce attack, and there was no indication that it was just a feint, in order to involve the energy of the defenders, and it was completely a look of not giving up if he did not break through the palace gate.
"Defend the palace and wait for the king's help!" The leading general could only shout, but he was complaining in his heart: "O king, if you hadn't transferred half of your brothers, why wouldn't you be like this?"
Unbeknownst to him, he inadvertently exposed the news of the absence of the king of Goguryeo, and the general who attacked the gate of the palace immediately sent someone to report the matter to Gongsun Du.
Although Gongsun Du has long guessed about this matter, it is also good news to get the exact news.
Gongsun Du smiled on his face and immediately ordered: "Hurry up the search!" Be sure to take down the kennel of the King of Goguryeo before he returns and leave him homeless! ”
also made a small joke, which caused all the soldiers to laugh.
"Hahaha!"
Laughing and laughing, the soldiers still subconsciously increased their speed.
"There's a door here!"
After walking a little further, a soldier in front of him exclaimed.
Gongsun Du was about to step forward, when he saw a small wave of arrows rain straight at the soldier who spoke, shooting him into a hedgehog, his heart was cold, and he roared: "Kill it and avenge the dead brother~"
The soldiers were also aroused full of anger, Gongsun Du ordered, and everyone rushed forward without hesitation. The defenders at the palace gate did not show weakness at all, and once again unleashed a small wave of arrows. However, although Gongsun Du and others were rushing to kill this time, they had already prepared, but it did not have much effect, but exposed the problem of insufficient defenders.
"Kill~"
"There aren't many of them, so they're going to break down the door in one fell swoop!"
Gongsun Du shouted wildly, swung his knife and smashed several oncoming arrows, hitting the palace gate that was obviously a large circle smaller than the gate of the Goguryeo palace.
"Broken~"
Mixed with the strong wind, the winged Dapeng knife fell exactly in the middle of the palace gate, only to hear the sound of "bang", a broken hole appeared in the middle of the palace gate, telling the extraordinary power of this knife.
Gongsun Du was still dissatisfied, and with a flick of his wrist, the winged Dapeng Knife spread his wings to the sky, constantly bombarding the broken hole, making him continue to expand.
In almost a dozen breaths, the broken hole turned into a large hole, large enough for a seven or eight-year-old child to pass through. However, compared with Gongsun Du and other rides, it is still much smaller. But this was enough, Gongsun Du retreated, and a few soldiers armed with steel knives and went down to the horse to destroy the palace gate.
Not to mention, Gongsun Du's strength is strong, but after all, he is alone, and he has to deal with the attacks inside the door and attack the palace gate, in the end, there are not as many people as there are.
After about a dozen breaths, the palace gate could no longer stand up, and turned into sawdust in Gongsun Du's happy gaze, and opened the middle door.
"Kill~"
Gongsun Du urged the light shadow and killed it first.
As soon as he entered the door, rows of premeditated spears came at the same time, but Gongsun Du had expected it, and he didn't panic at all, and he shook the reins, and the light shadow knew that his feet were beaten, and Gongsun Du shouted at the right time, and the winged Dapeng knife in his hand swept out.
"Death~"
Poof, poof......
Rows of spears were all cut off, and it turned out that Gongsun Du seemed to be going to attack the soldiers with guns just now, but in fact, he was using a condescending posture to attack the spears in their hands.
Then, when there was no room for it, the light shadow took a few steps forward in tacit understanding, and Gongsun Du waved the winged Dapeng knife again, and it was another sweep.
This time, it went straight to the enemy, and it was still a fatal neck.
With the same sound as if the wooden pole was being cut off, Gongsun Du cut off the heads of seven or eight people with a single knife and rolled to the ground.
"Death, death, death~"
Seeing that the defenders of the palace were about to pounce on it to fill the gap, Gongsun Du drank violently one after another, shot furiously, and with the help of the momentum of the light shadow, he simply tore it open.
Naturally, the Han army behind him would not just look at it, taking advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, swarming in, suppressing the defenders of the Goguryeo palace with a numerical advantage, defeating them one after another, and almost unable to fight back.
Burst~
Gongsun Du casually slashed the last person with a knife, and without stopping for a moment, leaving five hundred people to guard the broken side door, driving the light shadow straight in, and running towards the tallest building in the palace.
The royal palace of Goguryeo, Gongsun Du is naturally unfamiliar, but the tallest building is bound to be different, even the most important place, as long as you can find someone to lead the way, it is good.
The bizarre thing is that Gongsun Du led a group of soldiers and ran all the way to the highest building, but he didn't meet a single person, which is really amazing.
After a little thought, Gongsun Du decided to divide his troops-
"Disperse the search, take 100 people as a team, each 100 team should not be separated by more than 50 zhang, once you encounter the enemy, shout warnings!"
"Yes, my lord!"
The soldiers immediately dispersed in a team of 100 people, but the 1,000 soldiers followed behind Gongsun Du without any intention of scattering.
Gongsun Du didn't say anything, groaned a little, and led the pro-army team to kill in the direction of the palace gate.
Far away, he could hear the movement coming from the direction of the palace gate, and Gongsun Du couldn't help muttering: "Could it be that all the defenders have been transferred to the main gate?" ”
I have to say that Gongsun Du's guess for no reason was correct!
After Gongsun Du left, the Han army at the gate of the palace attacked very fiercely, although it would not break through the gate, but the general guarding the gate knew that Gongsun Du was preparing to attack other palace gates, how could he not be in a hurry, in order to ensure the safety of the palace, he could only order the defenders of the palace in addition to the various palace gates to come to help.
It can't be said that he is stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart and knows how to concentrate his forces to deal with it, but he underestimated the strength of the Han army, whether it was the Han army fighting against him, or Gongsun Du and others who looked for another way, they were all underestimated by him.
Now, the consequences of underestimation are beginning to show.
Gongsun Du rushed to the gate of the palace, without the slightest intention of greeting, as soon as he came up, he rushed and struck violently, and the Han army outside was flanked inside and outside, so that more than 4,000 elite defenders of the Goguryeo palace were defeated.
In less than half an hour, a small number of the palace defenders escaped, most of them were killed, and a small number were captured, but looking at the eyes of the captives who were almost cannibalistic, I am afraid that in the end it will not be the same death.
Taking down the gate of the palace basically means taking the palace, and the rest of the small gates, Gongsun Du just sent people over to it, and he has no intention of taking action in person.
"Three thousand men searched all the palaces, and the rest took the rest of the gates with so-and-so."
So far, Gongsun Du's plan has been successfully completed halfway, taking the West Gate and the palace; The remaining half is the remaining three gates, and the plan will only be completed if the remaining three gates are taken.
to proceed to the next plan!
The north gate, the closest to the palace, Gongsun Du just ran halfway to meet the oncoming Gaoju cavalry, which seemed to be to reinforce the palace, a total of 500 horsemen.
"Who?"
The sudden encounter surprised both sides.
When they came back to their senses, the five hundred Goguryeo cavalry saw that there were many Han troops and wanted to retreat, but Gongsun Du didn't give them a chance and pounced directly, but the strange thing is that Gongsun Du didn't attack violently, as if he had consumed too much energy in the previous battle and was tired.
In this way, they chased to the north gate.
The defenders of the north gate condescended to release arrows, wanting to repel Gongsun Du and others, but did not want Gongsun Du to suddenly exert his strength, rush into the more than 200 horsemen who were still alive, open a killing ring, and run towards the city.
The defenders of the north gate gathered no more than a thousand horsemen, which was the opponent of Gongsun Du, who had been planning for a long time, and almost completely took the north gate with a rush.
Then Gongsun Du left men to guard the north gate, and then turned to the east gate, but he didn't expect that the defenders were even less, there were only more than 300 people, and it took a little effort to take it down, only to learn that the rest of the people were sent to support the palace, about 700 people.
Gongsun Du pondered for a while, thinking that the three thousand people left in the palace could cope with it, so he did not send people over, but left people to garrison as usual, and turned to the south gate.
There were eight hundred defenders at the south gate, and they got the news early, but they made Gongsun Du waste. The difference is that after taking the south gate, a horse shot out and disappeared into the night.
Just when Gongsun Du thought that the pill was already in his hands, Huang Xu sent a message asking for help-
"My lord, I don't know who it is, entangled the tens of thousands of Goguryeo people in the city and stormed the city gate...... Now it is in danger, hope for quick support! ”
