In the middle of the month.

The weather is getting colder.

Yuan Xi rushed to Pinggu County in the east of Yuyang County, and after consulting with Zhang Jaw, he led the whole army to counterattack Xuansu County. Hyunsu County is the gateway to the east of Youju and was occupied by the Goguryeo army very early. With the capture of Gao Yun and the defeat of the Goguryeo army, the Goguryeo army in Xuansu County consciously retreated to Goguryeo. makes the huge Xuansu County an empty city.

Yuan Xi's tens of thousands of troops, without much effort, recovered the entire territory of Xuansu County.

In the tent.

When the generals had finished eating, they sat down together and took counsel.

Yuan Xi led two colorful tigers and appeared at the door: "It's all here..." ”

"My lord..."

The people stood up and saluted.

Yuan Xi instructed the two colorful tigers to stand by at the door.

walked into the account, sat down and said: "In the battles with Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Goguryeo, the generals have made great contributions and deserve to be rewarded. I have prepared for you two colorful tigers, which are very spiritual. Who's going to take it? ”

"I'm going to, I'm going to..."

All the generals in the tent shouted regardless of their image.

Jiao touched the column and said: "Lord, give it to the last general." ”

"My lord..."

Ju Yi's eyes also lit up.

Even Zhang Jaw, Li Dian, and Le Jin, who already had mounts, couldn't help but speak. The fields and single scriptures without mounts are even greener. It can be seen how attractive the strengthened colorful tiger mount is for a general.

As for how this mount came about? Why is it so tall and majestic? Nobody cares.

Yuan Xi pressed his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said: "The Colorful Tiger only has two heads, and it can only be given to two generals. Zhang Jaw, Li Dian, and General Le Jin already have their favorite mounts, and they are not among them. Ju Yi was in charge of commanding the chariot army, and he was always on the chariot, and it was inconvenient to ride. The rest give.... ”

Tian Chou and Jiao Feng took a step forward ecstatically: "Lord, give it to us?" ”

Shan Jing also took a step, but then retracted his foot.

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Give Tian Chou and Jiao Touch." I hope that after you have the Colorful Tiger Mount, you can also fight bravely and invincible like the Colorful Tiger. Be the king of the battlefield! ”

"Thank you, my lord..."

Tian Chou and Jiao Touch hurriedly kowtowed.

The generals who didn't get the Colorful Tiger mount were all depressed and a little disappointed.

Shan Jingzhi sighed that his position was too low.

Ju Yi was a little unconvinced.

Yuan Xi understood their thoughts and added, "General Ju Yi and General Shan Jing can go to the wolf cavalry army and choose a wolf. Although it is not as brave as the Colorful Tiger, its speed is far greater than that of the Colorful Tiger, and it is especially good at mountain combat. ”

"Thank you, Lord."

Ju Yi and Shan Jing, his expression was slightly softened.

Yuan Xi nodded and said: "After months of campaigning, we finally drove Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Goguryeo out of Youzhou, and then it was time for a counterattack." I decided to split my arms into two ways. Attack Wuhuan Mountain all the way, drive Ban Dun out of the Great Wall, and consolidate the defense line of the Great Wall. Attack Goguryeo all the way. After rendezvous with He Mao and Cui Yan, he occupied the royal city of Goguryeo. ”

"Generals, this battle is very important..."

Speaking of this, Yuan Xi turned sideways, looked at the map on the side, and said: "To tell you the truth, the Southern Xiongnu alone in Huchuquan have led 50,000 iron horsemen to the east and fight with the Xianbei leader Kebineng. Kebineng will definitely not be able to resist. If Xianbei was exterminated, the Xiongnu would definitely invade the Great Wall. Therefore, in attacking Oohuan and Goguryeo, our army must win and remove the threat from the east. Transferred most of the troops to the Great Wall Guard. Once defeated, we will be disadvantaged by the enemy. ”

"General Tian Chou."

"The end will be." Tian Chou got up.

Yuan Xi instructed: "Your cousin Tian Yu has led the army to occupy the Xianbei Wangting Danhan Mountain and advance to the Great Wall to set up defenses. You act quickly, too. I appoint you as the chief general of the Northern Route Army, Jiao Touch as the vanguard, Ju Yi as the rearguard, lead the troops and horses of the headquarters, march north to defeat Wuhuan, recover the Great Wall, and after meeting with the Tian Yu army, garrison and standby. ”

"No..."

Tian Chou, Ju Yi, and Jiao touched the road.

"Zhang Jaw, Li Dian, Lejin's vanguard battalion and wolf cavalry army followed me day and night to the Goguryeo royal city. I want to settle the war in the east in the shortest possible time. Yuan Xi said.

"No..."

The congregation will answer.

End of meeting.

Tian Chou and Jiao couldn't wait to leave the camp and rode away on the colorful tiger.

The mighty, tall, and colorful tiger is more obedient than a horse, and the speed of running is extremely fast, which can envy many people. Ju Yihe Shan Jing could only retreat, found Li Dian, and said, "General Li Dian, when will we go to the wolf cavalry camp and choose a mount?" ”

"Let's go..."

Li Dian and Le Jin rolled their eyes, and reluctantly took them to the garrison of the Wolf Cavalry.

.......................

.......................

The seventeenth day of the lunar month.

Tian Chou's Northern Route Army, with Jiao Touch as the vanguard and Ju Yi as the rearguard, led 30,000 troops to the north to meet Wuhuan.

Yuan Xi was also ready, and took the mammoth, King Kong giant ape, Fengshen Pterodactyl and Tyrannosaurus rex, as well as the pioneer battalion and wolf cavalry of Zhang Jaw, Li Dian and Lejin, a total of more than 4,000 horsemen, into the border of Goguryeo.

As soon as the army came out, Goguryeo shook!

The 30,000 troops led by He Mao, the deputy governor of Youzhou, and Cui Yan, the army member, have arrived at the royal city of Goguryeo. confronted Gao Yanwu's 20,000 troops and held on. The arrival of Yuan Xi gave He Mao great confidence, and also gave Goguryeo Wenwu a lot of pressure. In the face of the invasion of two strong armies, they reached the royal city with the momentum of destruction and decay, and they were very frightened in their hearts.

Maruto Mountain Castle.

As the royal city of Goguryeo, it was built on the undulating and steep Marudu Mountain, and the mountain is steep, up to more than 100 zhang. At present, it is the only large-scale fortified city in the world built against the mountain.

His history dates back to the three years of the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, Goguryeo was still very weak, and could only submit to the Central Plains court and survive. However, they were unwilling to surrender forever, and from time to time they invaded the Central Plains, plundered war resources, and were attacked by the Han army.

Every time he was crusaded, he was beaten very badly, and he was almost wiped out several times.

In order to solve this crisis, Goguryeo built the mountain fortress of Marudu.

With the direction of the natural mountain, the castle wall was constructed, and the walls were undulating. In the steep and steep place of the mountain cliff to build a low city wall or not to build, the ridge is gentle, build a high city wall, so that the outside of the city high cultivation cliff, the defense is extremely strong.

There are two springs on the mountain, which flow into the Tonggou River, enough for tens of thousands of people to eat.

Imitation of the Central Plains of the strong crossbow, catapults, countless, are placed in the most critical place, only a few people to operate, there is a husband as a pass, ten thousand people do not open the effect.

For the Central Plains court, it was extremely difficult to overcome.

Since the establishment of the mountain fortress of Marudu, the Han army crusaded against Goguryeo, and could only fight outside the city of Marudu, and left after the grain and grass were exhausted.

He Mao and Cui Yan's 30,000 troops arrived outside the city of Marudu Mountain, and they were also taken aback by the majestic, strong, and precipitous Marudu City. I didn't dare to make any moves. can only be stationed outside the city, waiting for Yuan Xi's arrival.
