With the arrival of another wave of cold air from the far north, the weather in Luojin City began to be gloomy again, and under the howling cold winds, waves of sea were as strong as fierce horses and smashed on the reef on the shore.

Some clouds seem to be hanging too low, and some clouds and mist are rolled up in the gust of sea breeze to form some strange appearances, as if they are 'wild horse dust', only some seagulls and petrels who are not afraid of wind and rain are still flying in the rainy and snowy sky.

At this moment, Etozhi Megumi's mood was like the gray sky at this time, without a trace of light, if possible, he really wanted to be like a mythical immortal, so he led the cavalry to gallop across the sea, and kept catching up with the heavenly Xia army.

Riding on his beloved warhorse, Otozhi Megumi could also see a fleet gradually moving away on the sea in the distance, which was the ship of the Xia army who had just withdrawn from Luojin City.

When Eulzhihui led thousands of Goguryeo cavalry to a distance of fifty miles from Luojin City, he was discovered by the scouts arranged by the Xia army earlier, but at this time, Eulzhihui let the soldiers rest for an hour in order to allow the soldiers to recover their strength in order to maintain their combat effectiveness.

So this time period just gave the Xia army time to retreat calmly from the city, not only did they rob almost all the large quantities of materials left by the Goguryeo army in Luojin City, but even the tens of thousands of ordinary people in Luojin City did not let go.

Different from the practice of the Goguryeo people who plundered the Han people in Liaodong in the past as long as they were young and strong, this group of Xia troops was packed and taken away regardless of men, women, old and children, with Luojin City as the center of the circle, and there was not even a single shadow left for Goguryeo within dozens of miles, leaving only a city that was still burning.

At this time, it was also popular in Goguryeo to use wood to build buildings, especially the large amount of pine wood that was abundant in the dense jungle of northeastern Goguryeo was flammable, and these woods contained a certain amount of oil and oil, which was very easy to burn.

Even if Najin Fortress is such a small city, after all, it can accommodate 30,000 or 40,000 people, and the houses where tens of thousands of people live are made of wood, so when the whole city is set on fire, the heat generated is not something that Goguryeo soldiers can approach.

Many soldiers saw that Luojin City was on fire at first, so they took the initiative to pack a large amount of snow in cloth bags and prepare to transport it to the fire in the city to extinguish the fire, but before they could get within fifty steps of the city, their hair was curled up by the hot air.

In the end, they retreated under the order of Otoji Megumi, who knew very well that even if they could extinguish the fire of Rajin Castle, the city would already be an empty city.

In this way, whether it was out of the need to ensure the rule of the northeastern part of Goguryeo, or the need to defend against the invasion of the Xia army, Goguryeo had to rebuild a new city in its place, so there was no need to fight the fire.

In this way, thousands of Goguryeo soldiers watched as the buildings in the city continued to collapse, and the heat emitted by the exuberant flames soon ignited all the items that could be burned in the city, and only the crackling sound of burning wood could be heard in the whole city.

"Hiss",

When a house collapses with a 'boom', the remnants of the roof snow and ice fall on the burning wood, making a strange cry in the fire, followed by a burst of flames jumping high, as dazzling as the sunspots of an astronomical telescope in later generations.

But now, after all, there is no insurance company that can handle family accident insurance, so Yizhi Hui does not have the interest of the old beauty in later generations to take a family photo calmly after the fire at home.

He now not only has to consider the follow-up strategic layout of the northeastern part of Goguryeo after the defeat of Tongmenjiang, but also the safety of the tens of thousands of Goguryeo troops around him.

The fire in the city is still burning, it seems that there will not be three or five days for the fire to go away, even the snow outside the city is dozens of zhang, and the wall is constantly baked into water, and the fiery red light is still reflected after the sun disappears.

It suddenly occurred to Etozhi Hui that it seemed that the next fleet of ships in the southern part of the East China Sea was about to depart from there, but now that there were a large number of Xia army warships on the sea, it was best to personally lead the army there so that he could better obtain supplies.

Thinking of this, Etoji Hui hurriedly asked a group of cavalry to gallop towards the southern border with Silla on the east coast with his warrant, if this batch of logistics supplies was lost again, then he would no longer think about leading the army to retreat safely, and this army could be defeated by hunger alone.

However, it soon proved the authority of the phrase 'Fortune is not a one-man journey', and bad news soon came from a small fishing boat, and the fleet carrying supplies was indeed in trouble.

Because when preparing for battle in Tongmen River before, Eulzhihui's urging was too severe, so the Goguryeo officials who were in charge of supplying the army's logistics materials had a lot of trouble collecting a lot of money, food, and materials, so this time the fleet set off relatively early, and left the port three days before Eulzhihui's warrant was delivered.

Soon after the departure of this baggage fleet, it was targeted by the Xia army, but because the Goguryeo people did not have binoculars after all, they failed to discover the Xia navy in time, so they were attacked halfway, except for a small number of ships that were sunk without knowing each other, all the others became the trophies of the Xia army, and it seems that someone is going to get rich again.

In desperation, Megumi Ulji no longer cares about the importance of his face, so he has no choice but to ask for help from the eastern Saisa Dazuo stationed near Wonsan Port, hoping that Endazuo can support some of the food and army, and help rebuild Rajin Castle. Hot search

However, Yuan Dazuo was just forced by the army led by Eulzhihui some time ago, and he was persecuted once, which made Yuan Dazuo very disgraced among the old nobles of Goguryeo, it would be good if he didn't hold a grudge against Eulzhihui, let alone expect Yuan Dazuo to help Eulzhihui.

However, after all, Yuan Dazuo is an old fox who has been the eastern Gengsa and the big pair Lu for many years, of course, it is impossible to refuse Yizhihui's request openly, and first very sincerely said to Yizhihui that the harvest in the eastern region in the past two years is very bad, so he can't take out much grain.

However, because Yizhihui is a person he respects very much after all, and he is a minister of the same dynasty as himself, Yuan Dazuo gritted his teeth very generously and gave Yizhihui a hundred stones of grain, and Yuan Dazuo also opened the bare granary for Yizhihui to see.

Your sister, this granary is really bare, there is not even a grain of grain, I am afraid that the mouse family will starve to death when they enter, and then the remaining few will leave in tears.

Originally, Goguryeo's arable land was mainly concentrated in the western plains, and the eastern part of the country has always been mountainous and has little grain production, so Yuan Dazuo said that he just had so much grain, and you really can't help it.

Yi Zhi Hui can only sincerely express his gratitude to Yuan Dazuo, as for Yi Zhi Hui's request for Yuan Dazuo to cooperate with the dispatch of troops, and re-re-enlist the people's request to build Luojin City, Yuan Dazuo seems to be helpless, and then he took the initiative to fall ill in bed with the new cold current.

In the end, Eulzhihui had no choice, he could only lead the army all the way south, and then urgently write a letter to Goguryeo King Gao Yangcheng for help, and if he didn't make a layout, the situation in the northeast would be eroded.

But Eulzhihui, who was still writing letters, didn't know that Gao Yangcheng, the object of his help, was also preparing to transfer him back to the division to rescue, because at this time, Gao Yangcheng was also overwhelmed by the Xia army of the East China Sea attacking everywhere, and the situation in the entire Goguryeo seemed to be chaotic all of a sudden.

In retaliation for the Goguryeo attack on Zhenhai, under the orders of Wang Ze, all the navies of the Xia army were fully activated.

Taking advantage of Goguryeo's weakness of lacking a naval army, they moved around by boat, constantly landing in various coastal areas of Goguryeo, not only plundering the people of Goguryeo, but also destroying a large number of farmland, and even destroying waterwheels, dams, and everything else that could be destroyed in the farmland.

At this time, the soldiers of the Xia army can be said to be scattered to destroy everything that can be seen, which is simply angry with the Goguryeo army chasing everywhere, but for these guys who come and go like the wind on the sea, they can only watch helplessly.

On the other side of the situation of the domestic flames, Gao Yangcheng was bored in the study in the palace for a long time, and finally discussed with several old ministers led by Gao Shaocong, and finally made a decision to let Gao Wen and Yizhihui withdraw from the expedition.

As a result, without waiting for Yizhi Hui's letter to arrive, he received an urgent report from Dazuo of the Eastern Depression, detailing the series of defeats of Gao Wen and Yi Zhihui, which made Gao Yangcheng, who originally hoped that the two would come back, suddenly felt cold.

Yuan Dazuo wrote an urgent newspaper very much like the American imperialist reporters of later generations.

'We only report the truth, but we only report part of the truth'

Yuan Dazuo described the battle between Gao Wen and Yi Zhihui against Xia Jun in great detail, without any exaggeration and distortion, all of them were incomparably true news.

However, this old man only wrote about a series of mistakes made by Gawain and Eolji Hui during the battle, and the serious problems caused by this, and this battle not only lost a large number of Goguryeo troops, but also lost a large area of plains near the Tongmen River, and more importantly, even the city of Najin was burned down.

This is good, originally since last year, Gao Yangcheng began to continue to implement the existing strategy of weakening the major nobles soon after he ascended the throne, so that these nobles are helpless at the same time, they are also very resentful, this time when they catch the opportunity, it is not good to retaliate back?

In particular, Gao Wen and Eulji Hui were both descendants of Goguryeo King Gao Yangcheng, and they belonged to the forces loyal to the royal family, and their defeat was very happy to be seen by these old nobles, so they asked for severe punishment for the two generals who lost the battle.

If Gao Yangcheng can't withstand the pressure and deals with the two seriously, then it can not only weaken the direct power of the royal family, but also make some generals loyal to the Goguryeo royal family feel cold, and at least make Gao Yangcheng more restrained.

However, Gao Yangcheng also knew the thoughts of these nobles, so he didn't want to punish his descendants too harshly, although he was also very dissatisfied with the defeat of the two.

Of course, in order to show his fairness, Gao Yangcheng's appearance still has to be done, so the responsibility for the defeat of Yizhi Hui was taken by Gao Wen, in order to punish Gao Wen for losing his division and losing his land, Gao Wen was appointed as the new city lord of Luojin City, and he will re-establish Luojin City here to defend against the Xia army from attacking from here.

Naturally, the area around the mouth of the Tongmen River was abandoned by the Goguryeo people, but Zhang Hang eventually set up a cavalry of about 2,000 people here to garrison the north bank of the river, and a small city with troops on the north bank began to be planned.

At this time, Yu Feng's news about the big iron mine near the Tongmen River also reached Wang Ze's hands.
