Takayama Castle.

The county magistrate opened Quangai Suwen's letter, glanced at it, looked at Quangai Suwen's big seal, and after confirming that it was Quangai Suwen's seal, he immediately led people to the city gate.

"Prefectural order!"

"General Lee!"

"County order, the identity has been confirmed, it's the Golden Tiger!"

The county commander nodded: "It is indeed General Su Wen's letter, it seems that the front is not optimistic, hurry up and open the city gate, you take people to the granary now to see how much grain is left, prepare it, and strive to transport the grain out tomorrow!" ”

In imitation of the letter from Izumi Gai Suwen, the situation ahead was very urgent, so the county magistrate was also very anxious, and did not dare to delay too much, and immediately asked people to prepare food.

When the Yutang Empire invaded Goguryeo before, the king of Goguryeo had already issued an order to ensure that the frontline supplies were sufficient, so this county commander dared to make his own claims.

"Yes!"

The guard immediately led people from the granary, and the county commander waved his hand: "Open the city gate, open the city gate!" ”

Soon more than a dozen defenders immediately turned the winch vigorously and slowly opened the city gate, although Gaoshan City is not as important as Xincheng, but it is also an important pass, a gateway into the hinterland of Goguryeo, so this city is also garrisoned by 20,000 troops.

The city has been continuously reinforced, although it is not as good as the new city, but if you want to attack the city, it is also very difficult, and with the advantage of terrain, there are two military camps on the mountain, each other is a horn, if you want to attack, you have to pay a certain price.

The city gate was slowly opened, and Zhang Liao, who was disguised as a Goguryeo soldier, had bright eyes, and glanced at the golden tiger, who was numb by Zhang Liao and others, but the matter had come to this point, and there was no way back, so he slowly urged the sycophants and rushed towards the city gate.

The county commander stood in the middle of the city gate, and immediately greeted him after seeing the golden tiger: "General Jin has worked hard all the way, and this official has prepared wine and meat for all heroes to feast on!" ”

As soon as Jin Hu wanted to say something, Zhang Liao suddenly slapped his horse forward, and the long knife in his hand suddenly cut off the head of the county commander, and then roared: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!"

A hundred cavalry immediately rushed into the sinking gate, and the defenders under the city gate were roughly more than three hundred people, and this group of people had no defense, and Zhang Liao and others reacted when they rushed into the city.

But it was too late, a hundred cavalry were selected elites, each of whom had the ability to use one as ten, and more than three hundred people, as soon as they reacted and prepared to resist, they were slaughtered.

Zhang Liao took the lead in killing through the city gate, at this time the sound of fighting in the city gate woke up the defenders, and immediately someone rushed over to check the situation, and after finding that something was wrong, he immediately shouted: "It's the enemy, the enemy army has opened the city gate!"

"There are very few of them, kill them back!"

"Follow me!"

A group of Goguryeo generals shouted and rushed to the city gate with weapons, but Zhang Liao turned over and dismounted, his long sword stood sideways, and there was no enemy in unison, and at the same time, the cavalry at the rear had already signaled, that is, fireworks, and fireworks bloomed in the air.

After the army behind him saw the signal, without any hesitation, the three thousand cavalry led by him immediately rushed to support Takayama City.

Three thousand cavalry moved together, and in the dark night, the horse's hooves touched the ground and made a dull sound, and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard from a distance without a cloth.

"What sound?"

Zhang Liao still has subordinates who know that the reinforcements have arrived, but the Goguryeo people don't know what the sound is, and some soldiers subconsciously ask, and at this time, Zhang Liao hacked a Goguryeo soldier to death with a knife, and then shouted: "Brothers, the reinforcements are coming, kill!" ”

"Kill!"

When the soldiers inside the city gate heard this, their morale was greatly boosted, and less than 100 of them killed the influx of Goguryeo soldiers.

"It's the cavalry of the Yutang Empire, and the enemy reinforcements are coming!"

"Takayama Castle is broken!"

"The county order has been killed!"

"Alpine City is broken, run!"

“……”

A series of exclamations sounded, which made many Goguryeo soldiers suspicious, and some of Zhang Liao's soldiers could speak simple Goguryeo and kept shouting, which made the Goguryeo people, who were already a little unstable in their military hearts, even more panicked.

Many soldiers thought for a while, and finally decided to run, and did not hesitate to turn around and run, and when one person ran, a group of people immediately followed, and soon there were soldiers fleeing into the city.

At this time, the guard also rushed back, and when he saw some soldiers running back, he shouted: "Death to those who retreat!" ”

But he was too late, and three thousand cavalry had already broken through to the city gates.

"Brothers, let one go, let one go!"

The leader of the general roared, and all the soldiers of the Yutang Empire moved to both sides without hesitation, making way for the middle road, and soon a figure rushed in from the city gate, followed by more and more cavalry pouring into the city gate.

The 3,000 cavalry entered the city, so that the defenders of Goguryeo had no hope of recapturing the city gate, and the 3,000 cavalry did not disperse after entering the city, but centered on the city gate, some of them attacked the city wall on both sides, and some people tried to reduce the pressure on the city gate as much as possible.

After Zhang Liao found out, he glanced at the Goguryeo soldiers and found that not far behind, a person like a Goguryeo general was constantly commanding the Goguryeo soldiers, knowing that this guy should be the commander of this group of soldiers.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao slashed the Goguryeo soldiers beside him with a knife, pulled a war horse beside him with one hand, and went directly over the mountain to the horse, and then slapped the horse's buttocks with a big knife, and the war horse galloped immediately after being in pain.

Li Shan, the guard of Gaoshan City, after watching his flustered subordinates stabilize down, his heart relaxed a little, he had 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and it only took a little time to rush over, and take advantage of the numerical advantage to beat the soldiers of the Yutang Empire back.

But at this time, Li Shan saw a horse rushing up, and with the help of the fire and moonlight, a general of the Yutang Empire who was covered in blood rushed towards him with a big knife in his hand.

At this time, Zhang Liao was covered in blood, his helmet and armor were full of blood and some unknown objects, Li Shan was startled when he saw it, but he quickly reacted, picked up his long knife and prepared to fight Zhang Liao.

The distance is getting closer and closer, fifty meters, thirty meters, the Goguryeo soldiers in front of Zhang Liao can't stop Zhang Liao at all, Zhang Liao is like a tiger that has entered the flock, and the hundreds of soldiers in front of him have been killed by him.

Twenty meters, ten meters, at this time, Li Shan also began to urge his war horse, the big knife in his hand was clenched, ready to make a move, but at this time, Zhang Liao raised his head fiercely and stared at Li Shan.

Li Shan felt like he was suddenly being targeted by a man-eating tiger at this time, his hairs stood on end, and his whole heart was shaken.

At this time, Zhang Liao looked at the distance getting closer and closer, let go of the reins, kicked the stirrup hard with both feet, and the whole person suddenly jumped up from the horse, and the war horse under him was suddenly so vigorously that he fell directly to the ground because of instability, and then the war horse rolled forward because of inertia, knocking all the defenders blocking Zhang Liao in front of him.

At this time, Zhang Liao jumped high in the air, holding his big knife high in both hands, splitting Huashan, and slashing towards Li Shan like a mountain and a river, and Li Shan looked at Zhang Liao who jumped high in the air, and instinctively wanted to raise his long knife to block Zhang Liao's blow.

But as soon as his knife was raised, his hands felt that the knife was broken, and then his head hurt, and he didn't know anything, and Zhang Liao directly slashed Li Shanlian and his horse into two pieces.

The picture froze, and I saw Zhang Liao kneeling on one knee, holding a long knife in both hands, and the war horse and Li Shan in front of him fell to both sides, blood sprayed on Zhang Liao's body, and Zhang Liao kept this movement motionless.

The surrounding Goguryeo soldiers watched Zhang Liao's movements blankly, everyone was stunned, no one dared to step forward, and no one dared to move, just looked at Zhang Liao, and Li Shan, who began to be split in half.

"General, the general is dead!"

"Devil!"

"He's the devil!"

"Run!"

“……”

Zhang Liao's blow was seen by all the soldiers of Goguryeo, and he killed Li Shan like a demon god, and all the Goguryeo soldiers were full of courage and did not dare to have any intention of resisting, even if it was Li Shan's own soldiers, after reacting, they did not hesitate to turn the horse's head and run into the distance.

The Goguryeo soldiers fled, and the soldiers of the Yutang Empire felt relaxed and began to pursue with victory, at this time Xu Rong quickly came to Zhang Liao's side and looked at Zhang Liao, who was still in a posture.

"Lao Zhang, the posture is very handsome, but you don't have to keep it for so long!"

Zhang Liao's head slowly turned, bared his teeth and said: "I really want to move, my feet are twisted, and the tiger's mouth is cracked, it seems that there is a problem with my waist, you hurry up and help me up!" ”

When Xu Rong heard it, he immediately laughed, he thought that Zhang Liao was handsome, but he didn't expect that Zhang Liao was tragic because his posture was too exaggerated!

However, Xu Rong still helped Zhang Liao up and asked him to send Zhang Liao to the back to rest.

Later, in Xu Rong's memoirs, this incident was recorded, and someone went to find out whether Zhang Liao was really the case, but Zhang Liao directly denied it, Zhang Liao said that it was just a little out of strength.

Zhang Liao's knife not only killed the Goguryeo guards, but also cut off the courage of the Goguryeo soldiers to resist the last, no one was willing to defend the city anymore, and everyone was fleeing for their lives

It's terrible, it's really terrible, in the word of mouth of the escaped soldiers, Zhang Liao's image began to change greatly, what is dozens of feet tall, bloody mouth, green face and fangs, and can run a carriage on his arms or something.

Hearing these fake words, it couldn't be faked anymore, but with a group of panicked soldiers and some people kept echoing it, some people still believed it, and continued to pass on the news, and finally Zhang Liao turned into a monster that kicked away Gaoshan City and hacked Li Shan to death with a slap......

Takayama Castle was broken, and as more and more armies entered the city, Takayama Castle was contained.

In addition to Gosan Fortress, a total of more than 20 Goguryeo cities were captured in a few days, and at this time, Goguryeo reacted that someone pretended to be a friendly soldier to open the city gate.

The weather in Goguryeo in June is very warm, and it is also the most comfortable time in Goguryeo.

But compared to the weather, the king of Goguryeo, Gao Yangcheng's heart was like a cold winter, and the Yutang Empire had already surrounded the royal city in only one month.

Moreover, it was surrounded on all sides, in addition to attacking all the way from Xincheng, Su Dingfang, who landed from the sea, combined with the combined forces of Silla and Baekje, also hit Wangcheng, but it was constantly lightly armed all the way, and there were many cities behind that were not breached.

But the army that came from Xincheng was different, and it fought steadily and steadily along the way, gradually advancing, and hit near the royal city.

In the middle of the royal city, Gao Yangcheng sat at the top, looked at the panicked ministers below, and patted the table with some impatience: "Don't make any noise, now you talk about it, what should you do?" The people of the Yutang Empire have already hit the outside of the city, you say, what should I do now! ”

In the past half a month, the court of Goguryeo has been like this, there are ministers making noise every day, the main battle faction, the main and the faction can't talk at all, Gao Yangcheng even suspects that someone has already made contact with the army of the Yutang Empire outside the city, and is ready to sell himself at any time.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to lead the troops and defend the royal city, and never let the Yu Tang people step into the royal city!"

A guard general named Gao Tang stood up, he was a member of the royal family, so the lord and the royal family were different from those ministers, the city head changed the royal flag, they could still be ministers, but the royal family was basically a dead end.

"The king can't, the Yutang Empire's soldiers are sharp, the new city is high and the pond is thick, the Yutang Empire actually captured it in one day, although my royal city is also high and thick, but it can't stop the army of the Yutang Empire, it is better to negotiate peace with the Yutang Empire, and our country will be a vassal in the future, then the army of the Yutang Empire will naturally retreat!"

This is the point of view of the Lord and the faction, and this group of people also saw the reason why Yu Zhiqian attacked Goguryeo, that is, Goguryeo has not been a minister for all these years, and this group of ministers feels that they have surrendered now and confessed, and the Yutang Empire will definitely retreat if it is satisfied.

After all, the Central Plains Dynasty has always been like this, if you are subdued, just be my little brother, so these ministers have no sense of crisis!

"A bunch of nonsense, the Yutang Empire dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, obviously to destroy my Goguryeo, surrendering at this time is tantamount to being killed, the king, the minister is willing to fight to the death!"

“……”

A group of people were arguing around, Gao Yangcheng felt that his head was a little big, and at the same time he was thinking about what the surrender faction said, as if the Central Plains Dynasty was indeed like this, and it was okay to be a vassal all along.

I feel that Goguryeo has become strong over the years, so I cut off the tribute of the Yutang Empire, and now it seems that I am thinking too much, your uncle is still your uncle!

Thinking of this, Gao Yangcheng has roughly made a decision in his heart, surrender, surrender first, it's a big deal to be a grandson for a while now, and when your Central Plains Dynasty declines, it's not too late to take revenge then!

"Your Majesty, you can't surrender!"

"Your Majesty, if you don't surrender now, when the army of the Yutang Empire opens the city gate, it will be too late!"

“……”
