Chapter 128: Blood Battle Pill Capital

Maruto Castle

As the successor designated by the first king of Goguryeo, Gao Zhao is well aware of the surrounding situation, at least he is much more knowledgeable than other Goguryeo people, not to mention, before the king of Goguryeo died, he also handed over the command of a dark army that Goguryeo had painstakingly managed in the eastern and western Liaodong regions over the years.

Gao Zhao clearly understood that the two Liaos were the birthplace of the Xianbei in the east, whether it was the Yuwen Department or the Murong Department, or the Duan Department, each Xianbei people were strong and strong, and it could be said that Goguryeo was the most feared opponent of Goguryeo.

Therefore, one of the missions of the successive Goguryeo kings was to try their best to mess up the political and military environment in eastern and western Liao, as long as the Liangliao region is always chaotic, then the benefits and benefits that Goguryeo can obtain are also very large, and it can be said that the Liangliao region is the strategic hinterland of Goguryeo. What Goguryeo feared most was that there was a strong ruler in the Liangliao region who threatened Goguryeo's security.

The current situation is the situation that the real power of Goguryeo is most afraid of, the entire Liangliao region is under the rule of Duan Chen alone, but at this time, the king of Goguryeo died, and the designated heir caused the dissatisfaction of the real power faction in the country, the king of Xichuan, therefore, the inevitable civil war broke out, this is a life-and-death contest, must be divided into a winner, therefore, Goguryeo people have no time to take care of the external environment for a while, but it is in such the most critical and important bald head, Xianbei people killed.

Both King Xichuan and Gao Zhao concluded that Duan Chen had to deal with the Murong Department and the Yuwen Department first before he could have the energy and spare strength to aim his eyes at himself, but he didn't expect that Duan Chen would get the entire Xianbei Department in a very short time, and to be impartial, it was at this most critical time that he suddenly appeared under the city of Marudu, not to mention that King Xichuan did not expect it, even Gao Zhao in the city did not expect it, at first he thought that this was King Xichuan's temptation plan?

However, when he saw that the troops of the King of Xichuan were scattered and crushed by the torrent-like Xianbei cavalry, they rushed all the way to the foot of Marudu Castle. Gao Zhao found out that something was wrong: Oh no! Xianbei people are coming! Xianbei people appeared under the city of Marudu, and there was no warning beforehand!

King Xichuan thought a lot at this moment. If something goes wrong in this battle, it will be a major setback for yourself. What do the forces that are loyal to themselves think of themselves? Will the support of his vassals, his good prestige, and the power that he has accumulated over many years be ruined in one fell swoop?

King Xichuan gritted his teeth while fleeing at this time, and he didn't realize that he had just bitten his tongue, King Xichuan reined in his horse and said loudly: "In this case, why do you want to run?" It's time to fight to the death! Gaul, regroup, prepare for war! ”

Gaul's face turned pale at this time, and he sighed heavily. Now that my father has decided, even if I say something different, I'm afraid it won't work, and the matter has come to this point, and only by letting go can we fight for a way out. Gaul began to reorganize the troops that could still be commanded, and a rough count showed that there were less than 5,000 men left, and all of them were full of panic, not knowing what their fate would be.

Gaul didn't say much nonsense, he waved his hand vigorously, and gathered several guards over, asking them to protect their father, King Xichuan. Immediately, he stood up and shouted in all directions: "Warriors of Goguryeo! Don't panic! For Goguryeo! Slaughter these brutes! Gaul roared and unsheathed his sword, leading two trembling Goguryeo soldiers to rush directly in the direction from which the Xianbei people had been killed.

At this moment, the Goguryeo army had fallen into faltering, and the slightest hesitation was the rhythm of a great rout. Gaul could only personally lead the assault in order to slightly frustrate the advance of the Xianbei people and buy a moment for the Goguryeo army to regroup its formation. Several Goguryeo generals gathered a team of about 100 people, followed closely behind Gaul to form a charging formation, and watched the oncoming Xianbei cavalry collide fiercely.

In the battle between cavalry and cavalry, the victory or defeat is often only in a moment. There are no intrigues, no routines, no bells and whistles, no overt and covert. It just depends on whether your shot is stable, accurate, and ruthless.

Gaul was not only the son of King Xichuan, but also one of the few sword masters in Goguryeo, and at this moment his long knife was circling and flying, as if there was a shining circle of light in his hand. In the loud sound of the collision between the two armies, the two Xianbei cavalry fell from their horses with blood spatter, and the Goguryeo cavalry, with Gaul as the blade, was like a sharp wedge, deeply wedged into the ranks of the Xianbei people.

When the two teams of cavalry were fighting each other, the personal bravery of the leading general was always the most morale-boosting. Gaul is the son of King Xichuan, and according to the royal system of Goguryeo, he will definitely inherit the position of King Xichuan with a different surname in the future, and his status is extremely noble. Seeing that such a character personally destroyed the enemy in front of the battle, the Goguryeo people all shouted and shouted to cheer for him, and saw that the morale of the Goguryeo people slowly regained a little.

Gaul panted and slashed, thinking that if he held on a little longer, his father's side would be able to assemble the army. Thinking like this, Gaul surged out of his body again, brandished the knife in his hand even more fiercely, and killed two Xianbei cavalrymen one after another. After all, they are all their descendants now, as long as they regain their strength, there is no chance to give it a go.

Imagination is always beautiful, however, reality is always cruel. This Xianbei cavalry is none other than the number one fierce general under Duan Chen: the original Wuhuan elite directly under the Red Banner Lord Su Li, after replenishing the warriors of all ethnic groups, the Wuhuan Legion led by Su Li showed a sharp rise in combat effectiveness. On top of the original Wuhuan cavalry tactics, many new tactics and tactics were added. Not just fast, it's flexible. These were far beyond Gaul's limited expectations.

The main force of the Xianbei cavalry did not stop the attack at all because of the desperate volley of Gaul. Under the command of Niu Lu Zuoling, they divided left and right, crossed the Goguryeo men and horses led by Gaul, and continued to rush towards the king of Xichuan. At the same time, a small group of cavalry stabbed and slashed, separating Gaul from the troops behind him, and completely cutting off the connection between Gaul and the dozens of guards around him and the large Goguryeo army behind him.

Although Gaul was under siege, he was not afraid at all, he rushed left and right with his sword, and roared with all his might: "Xianbei earth dogs! Grandpa Gao is here! Come and die! Who knew that when he was about to kill, there was a burst of killing sound behind him. Gaul turned his head to look, and suddenly his eyes were torn: he saw that a group of Xianbei cavalry had rushed into the formation where his father, King Xichuan, was located, and was slashing indiscriminately. His father's formation has been completely chaotic, and I don't know how many Xianbei cavalry have already entered the big formation!

King Xichuan was originally running around organizing troops to counterattack. He took the opportunity of the Gallic assault to regroup about 10,000 soldiers, and finally rearranged the formation. But the Xianbei people didn't give him much time to rearrange, and rushed straight over. The troops that King Nishikawa had barely organized were immediately scattered.

Gaul slashed down a Xianbei cavalryman with a single sword, and turned his head to his father, King Xichuan, and shouted, "Father! Resist it! Resist it! Although Gaul knew that his father could not hear at all, he still shouted with a hideous face.

The Goguryeo people are gone. Gaul wailed, and his body staggered and almost fell off his horse.

There are no eyes on the battlefield, where can Gallic be distracted. As soon as he lost his mind, he felt a sharp pain in his back, and it turned out that a Xianbei cavalryman took advantage of Gaul's unpreparedness and pushed his spear into Gaul's back ribs. The shot was so sharp and fierce that it almost pierced the body. The burning pain of the tip of the spear as it was wrenched into the guts made Gaul suddenly come to his senses. He turned around sharply, and the spear that had pierced into his body snapped to the ground, and then swung his knife and slashed diagonally, slashing the Xianbei man who sneaked up on him in two pieces from neck to waist.

Gaul roared again and again, still moving swiftly, as if he had not been seriously injured at all. After a while, he was able to break out of the encirclement. Gaul hurried to his father, King Xichuan, and galloped to find out what had happened to his father.

Far away on a hillside.

Surrounded by patches of red banners, more than 1,000 Xianbei cavalrymen in red clothes and red armor were standing solemnly. In the center, there are several chieftain-like people, who are on horseback, poking their heads out and looking at everything on the battlefield.

In the middle is Su Li, the most powerful Red Banner Lord in the Xianbei of the Duan Division, I saw Su Li looking at this scene on the battlefield from a distance, smiled lightly, turned his head to his brother Wushu and said, "Wushu, do you see it?" ”

A burly and fierce man beside Su Li said, "Brother Wang, I see it! Do you need me to go down and kill him? ”

Su Li smiled and said: "Haha, that's not necessary, Wushu, you go down and talk to Curb Long, and capture that person alive for me, oh, by the way, and that old guy in Goguryeo called King Xi also wants to live!" Don't kill me! ”

The Wushu bowed his head in response, and sailed out into battle, and in the distance, Gaul was like an undulating boat in the sea, soon swallowed up by the surging waves of the Xianbei people......
