The domestic city is the land of Longxing in Goguryeo, and it is one of the three capitals of Goguryeo. In the first three years www.biquge.info of the Western Han Dynasty (3 AD), Goguryeo moved its capital to the domestic city and built the capital at the same time. For 425 years before the capital was moved to Pyongyang in the fourth year of the Northern Wei Dynasty (427 AD), the city was the political, economic, and cultural center of Goguryeo.

This city witnessed the ups and downs of Goguryeo for more than 400 years before it rose to the Changbai Mountains and dominated the northeast. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liaodong Gongsun Clan, Cao Wei, and Murong Xianbei broke their country and captured their people several times, but in the end, like a small strong that could not be defeated, it was no more than 70 years long and a few years of comeback, and finally survived one by one once powerful opponents, and seized the four counties of Liaodong, Lelang, Xuansu, and Daifang, so that it developed to the point where it could compete with the unified Central Plains Dynasty.

Unfortunately, the Goguryeo kingdom, which once dominated the northeast, eventually collapsed under the re-emerging Tang Empire in China for decades.

Although the current Goguryeo people are just like their ancestors hundreds of years ago, they are unwilling to die and set off waves of restoration of the country, but the general trend is gone. The surrounding environment is not like the situation that after being broken by a strong enemy hundreds of years ago, it can move elsewhere and slowly recover its vitality and return to its old place again.

The northern part of Goguryeo was growing stronger, the southern Silla was ambitious, and the Tang Dynasty was only a few decades old and was still on the rise.

What's more, in this era, there are more people like Li Yu who should not be in history.

After the soldiers and horses were assembled, Li Shangdan led the army out of Bozhuocheng and drove along the north bank of the Yalu River towards the domestic city. Li Yu led the main force of troops and horses to be stationed in Wugu City, Xue Ne led Yanyun Iron Cavalry Left Guard and Vermilion Bird Guard, and Pingyi and Zhendong Second Army were stationed in Bozhuo City. Once it was discovered that there was an army sent north by An Shun on the south bank of the Yalu River to support the domestic city, Xue Ne crossed the river to intercept it.

The northern part of the Korean Peninsula and the southern shore of Yalu Water were sparsely populated even more than a thousand years later, let alone now. With high mountains and dense forests and ravines, the land route from the west coast of the Korean Peninsula to the upper reaches of the Yalu River is extremely difficult, and there is not even a road. The fastest and most convenient way is only along the Yalu River, since the city of Bozhuo was captured by the Tang army, the Goguryeo army on the south bank of the movement is under the nose of the Tang army, and even the inner city sent thousands of troops to support Pyongyang, when passing by the Tang army was clear.

Li Yu chose the two route armies in the southwest to attack the inner city, and Li Shangdan went to the north bank of Yalushui, making it clear that he was going to attack the inner city to the Goguryeo rebels on the south bank, and he did not want to lead the Goguryeo rebels to intercept them, and take the opportunity to eat the rebels on the south bank and then attack the inner city.

Wang Hu's Xuanwu Wei and Dingman, and the two armies of Tianshi set out from Cangyan, and their target was Gobecheng, the western gateway of the domestic city. Compared with Li Shangdan's army on the South Road, Wang Hu's army was much more difficult to march, and it was necessary to capture three large cities and several small mountain cities built in dangerous mountain passes before reaching the domestic city.

Goguryeo has been broken by strong enemies several times, all from the west, so for hundreds of years, Goguryeo has built dozens of large and small military towns and dangerous mountain cities on the western road leading to the domestic city. In the direction of Yalushui in the south, there is no strong city to rely on as a gateway, which gives Li Shangdan the opportunity to march calmly, and the army on the south road is also used as the main direction of attack.

When Li Shangdan's troops were still slowly marching on the north bank of Yalushui, Wang Hu led his troops to the city of Gobe, persuaded him to surrender to no avail, and ordered a strong attack.

Encouraged by the beating of war drums, the Dingbarian army resisted the ladder and practiced the siege tactics that had been trained for half a month.

Some of the soldiers in iron armor set up ladders on the city walls, and quickly climbed up with their swords in their mouths, while the archers who rushed to the bottom of the city walls were protected by shield bearers, and saw an opportunity to shoot an arrow at the defenders who were rising above the city.

The Goguryeo people in the city smashed the Tang army who were climbing up the ladder with stones and rolling logs, and some of them were shot in the head by an arrow as soon as they smashed the rolling logs in their hands, and they fell unwillingly, and then they were smashed under the city as rolling logs by their companions.

"Quick, go get me the golden juice and pour it on these Tang dogs." The envoy of Gobedao roared loudly and commanded his soldiers to hold the city.

In a short time, the soldiers brought up from under the city and burned the stinking gold juice, and poured the pot towards the ladder. Suddenly, there was a roar of boiling gold juice under the city, and the Tang army who fell to the ground trembling with breath and trembling sounded miserably.

"Damn, burn these bitches, when I don't care about Goguryeo?" An looked at the tragic situation of the Tang army under the city and laughed with relief.

The morale of the soldiers was greatly shaken, and the city was in danger just now, if it weren't for the gold juice poured under the city, the ironclad soldiers of the Tang army would have attacked the city.

The skin of the soldier who was poured with gold juice was burned red and covered with red blisters, and the whole person who was poured on his face was disfigured, looking hoarse and screaming like a ghost.

After all, the Dingbarian army was a new army, and they had never been on the battlefield, and when they saw the miserable situation of their companions being poured with the golden juice of the Goguryeo people, they involuntarily retreated one by one.

"Hey!" Wang Hu slapped his thigh fiercely, and was about to attack the city, but was poured with damn gold juice.

"If only there were trebuchets." Wang Hu sighed and thought about the large trebuchet he had seen when he served in the army before, which could throw dozens of catties of stones two hundred zhang away, and if I had a trebuchet in my hand now, I would directly use the trebuchet to smash this damn city wall alive.

Su Mingxiu, the general of the Tianshi Army, said with a smile: "If there is no trebuchet, it is not that this city cannot be captured. ”

"Is there a way for Su Yan?"

"The defenders of this city are only 3,000, and the Ding Zhuang who is forced to pull is only 6,000 people, the general only needs to hand over the good marksmen to a certain general, and gather in a few places to shoot the defenders who are rising, and they will be able to deter the Goguryeo people from daring to take the lead, and our army will be able to break the city."

"Okay, a certain general who is good at shooting will give you, break this city, and a certain one will attack you in front of His Highness." Wang Hu was overjoyed, and immediately found all the soldiers who were good at shooting among the generals, and there were three hundred, and sent another nine hundred shield soldiers to raise shields to protect them.

Su Mingxiu led more than 1,200 people into five groups and rushed to the city of Gobe,
