"Report, two generals, Your Highness will lead more than 50,000 troops to the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Gao Chongde and Su Mingxiu, who were discussing the defense of the city, were shocked, but they didn't expect King Yan to lead reinforcements so quickly. At this time, King Yan brought more than 50,000 troops, plus the original garrison of Seoul, and the strength was not under the North Silla Route Army.

Gao Chongde, who was still worried about the upcoming offensive and defensive battle in Seoul, made up his mind just now, and ordered the generals: "Wait for a certain person to go out of the city to greet His Highness." ”

"Whoa."

Su Mingxiu and other generals followed Gao Chongde out of the stream, rushed to the north gate of Seoul, after opening the city gate, as far as the eye could see, outside the city was a black press, the flag was waving in the wind, and the awe-inspiring atmosphere of slaughter was beside the army.

Six thousand Yanyun Iron Cavalry left and right guards straddled the war horses neatly arranged in the center of the military formation, and standing in front of the Yanyun Iron Cavalry was a young general wearing black lacquer Mingguang Mountain Wen armor, wearing a helmet on the top of two gorgeous peacock feathers, and a black tasseled Fan Yang beast helmet in the middle of the guard, with a handsome and immature face.

Behind the young generals were a group of military generals from the Andong Protectorate, and Xue Ne, Zhang Shi, Xue Jun and others who were familiar to Gao Chongde were among them.

There is also a Fan Yang helmet wearing black lacquered mountain armor, wearing a helmet with a peacock feather on the top, covered with a black veil, and a heroic left guard, closely following behind the young general.

Although they were a group of ladies with delicate faces, Gao Chongde and the others did not dare to despise them at all. Look at their equipment, with a horizontal knife on the left waist, a small crossbow, feather arrows, and daggers on the right waist, a slender scimitar on the left front of the saddle, which can be pulled out at will, and a single crossbow and a horn bow on the left back, with a quiver with thirty arrows.

As a former pawn army in the tent of King Yan's mansion, Gao Chongde knows very well that don't look at the delicate and charming soldiers of Xiuyi and the left and right guards, so that the men who see their beautiful and graceful bodies want to take care of them in their arms. In fact, they are all proficient in killing skills, and take the captive barbarians as training objects, and the ladies who have killed a lot of fierce barbarians will be officially included in the ranks, and they are not inferior to men in real tearing and killing.

"The minister, the Vermilion Bird, the Wei Xuan, the general Gao Chongde, the Tianshi Army, the general Su Mingxiu...... Meet His Royal Highness King Yan. ”

Gao Chongde, Su Mingxiu and other Seoul generals came to Li Yu and knelt on the ground to pay homage.

"Get up, please!" Li Yu smiled, his eyes scanned among the generals and schools in Seoul, and asked a little strangely: "Gao Daxun, why don't you see Hei Yan Changzhi, Li Shangdan, and Liu Shijiang?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, Li Shangdan and Liu Shijiang were resisting the 20,000 troops of the Silla South Route Army in the southern valley, and General Hei Zhi led all the cavalry of Seoul to meet the 10,000 pioneers of the Silla North Route Army. General Chen and General Su were ordered to guard Seoul before General Heizhi returned. ”

"This Jin Yuanshu actually divided his troops and marched, although there were many troops in the Northern Route Army, there were only 60,000." Xue Jun muttered, and then rejoiced, "Your Highness, Li Shangdan and Liu Shijiang can completely block the Silla South Route Army south of the Jaeyong Plain and cannot enter, our army is single against the Silla North Route Army, judging from the current strength, the Silla Army has no numerical advantage." In addition, the cavalry of our guards combined with 23,000 cavalry, which was in a crushing situation against the Silla army. As long as the command is proper and the generals use their lives, it will not be a problem to keep the 80,000 troops of Silla in the Jaeyeong Plain. ”

"Xue Sanyang is reasonable." Li Yu announced to the generals: "If we can completely annihilate the Silla army in this battle, our army will be able to reach the city of Guwon for a long time, and the destruction of Silla will be just around the corner, and perhaps we will be able to go home at the end of this year and be rewarded by the imperial court for a good year." In the next battle, you have to show twelve points of ability, otherwise this year will not be easy. ”

"Hahaha, Your Highness rest assured, a certain Zhang Shiding will be His Highness's head of Jin Yuanshu, break the country, and pull out the Golden City."

"Brother Zhang has robbed all the first credit, what should we do?" Han Wei Wei Yun general Sun Zhengqi quipped.

"There are so many of us, won't we get the credit for Brother Zhang's work?"

"That's up to any of you who can beat so-and-so." In the face of everyone's ridicule, Zhang Shi waved the horse lance in his hand and was full of arrogance, and a high-spirited air was full of anger.

Li Yu also smiled and said: "Zhang Shi, if you promise to achieve this merit, I will ask Your Majesty for the title of founding duke for you, okay?" ”

When the joking generals heard this, they looked at each other, but they didn't expect His Royal Highness to take Zhang Shi's words seriously, and they were willing to ask His Majesty to be crowned the founding duke to inspire Zhang Shi.

Zhang Shi was stunned for a moment, immediately put away his domineering posture, and arched his hand to Li Yu as if he had made up some kind of determination, "Your Highness is very loving, and the ministers must fight bravely to kill the enemy and swear to fulfill today's promise." ”

Li Yu patted Zhang Shi's shoulder and encouraged: "Do your best, don't be strong." Zhang Shi nodded sincerely.

Zhang Shinuo really fought bravely on the battlefield regardless of life and death for the founding duke he promised, and unfortunately killed Li Yu and had to feel distressed for a while. Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find, Zhang Shike is one of the few generals under his command who is proficient in cavalry combat, and Li Yu is reluctant.

"Into the city."

Under Li Yu's wave of his hand, more than 50,000 soldiers and horses lined up outside the city slowly entered, and the whole process was silent, and no one made a noise, which greatly surprised the people of Seoul, and there was such a strong army in the world that was forbidden by such orders.

Riding the black wind of the Han blood horse, Li Yu slowly entered this city named after the Han, as one of the three capitals of Goguryeo, the scale of the city is not small, and the city wall is quite tall. Decades of Tang-Gao wars have not affected this place, and there are still more than 100,000 residents in the city.

The principle of this place is Lelang County in the Han Dynasty, and later changed to Daifang County, Li Yu estimated that more than half of the residents in the city are Han Chinese. In the rebellion of the remnants of Goguryeo two years ago, the people of Seoul became the main source of food for the soldiers of Jianmoucen and Anshun.

During the march, Li Yu summoned Gao Chongde and ordered: "From today on, the people of Seoul are only allowed to enter but not leave, and all the villages within a radius of 20 miles will be forcibly moved into the city to prevent the slightest slightest." ”

The implication was to prevent these people from being deceived and assist the Silla army.

"Whoa."

After Gao Chongde responded, he took the unreasonable Su Mingxiu back to the barracks, and began to arrange soldiers and horses to go out of the city to implement a radius of 20 miles to clear the wall.

Since the Northern Silla Route Army broke into the hilly area east of Seoul, and Seoul was surrounded by vast plains with a radius of more than 30 miles, there was no land to use. Li Yu decided to lead the Silla army to attack the city in Seoul first, consume the morale of his army, and when his soldiers were tired and poor, he would go out of the city for a decisive battle.

As for the black tooth Changzhi, Li Yu was very useful, and after he defeated the 10,000 pioneers of Silla and returned, he led the Beihai Iron Cavalry to carry enough grain for ten days out of the city to lurk, and after going around to the north of the Silla army, he cut off its grain route, and a great victory was expected.

At this time, Heiya Changzhi led more than 7,000 cavalry to dismount and rest five miles away from the Silla vanguard army, and the sentry cavalry went out to intercept and kill the Silla scouts, and when the Silla army approached three miles, launched an attack.
