"Dead? Actually dead! ”

Yuan Dazuo looked at the Goguryeo cavalry that kept dying, and his heart was sad and sad.

When Yuan Mo led this cavalry out of the city to attack, Yuan Dazuo also braved the stone bullet attack of the Xia army and stood on the head of the city to watch, he felt that as long as his younger brother went out, he could still get some success, so that he could at least let the soldiers see some hope of victory.

However, the Xia army's stone throwing troops outside the city once again made Yuan Dazuo understand what a strong military strength is, and when gunpowder was invented by Wang Ze in advance, large-scale wars between countries can no longer be won by numbers alone.

The Goguryeo cavalry outside the city had never encountered such a powerful gunpowder bag attack, and even if they had encountered some other gunpowder weapons used by the Xia army when fighting against the Xia army before, they were all like thunderbolts, and the movement was far inferior to the explosive bag with a charge of dozens of catties.

Yuan Dazuo watched the cavalry continue to attack without fear of death after being hit so badly, he couldn't help but be excited, moved by the bravery and fearlessness of his army, but when he saw the cavalry fall on the way to charge one after another in the explosion, his heart suddenly cooled.

Most of the Goguryeo cavalry were killed in the charge, and only a few hundred cavalry escaped the catastrophe, but as soon as they rushed to the front of the Xia army, they were waved by the heavy infantry of the Xia army who defended at the front with the huge blades in their hands, cutting them into a mess of minced meat, and the hot blood was sprinkled all over the frozen earth.

When he saw his younger brother Yuan Mo being blown to pieces by an explosive bag, Yuan Dazuo suddenly burst into tears, the most elite cavalry had become so fragile in front of the Xia army, was it difficult that Goguryeo's fate was doomed?

At this moment, Yuan Dazuo regretted his coup d'état, he always thought that it was because Gao Yangcheng was too weak that Goguryeo's national strength was not as good as Xia's, and when he spent so much money to launch a coup, he found that he was not as good as Gao Yangcheng.

During the coup d'état of Yuan Dazuo, he dreamed that after he became Mo Zhili, his sons and grandsons were also Mo Zhili of Goguryeo, and they even defeated the Central Plains Dynasty that had completed the unification four or five times in succession, and the prestige of Goguryeo spread all over the world for a while.

But Yuan Dazuo was far from expecting that when he actually fought against the Xia army, he found that the strength of the Xia army was even stronger than he thought.

Yuan Dazuo didn't know that in the past, because Wang Ze wanted to keep Yuan Dazuo and others to split the internal power of Goguryeo, the military attack on him was relatively small, and the gunpowder weapons were not used much during the battle, which led to Yuan Dazuo always thinking that the gunpowder weapons of the Xia army were a weapon that was difficult to produce.

Now the Xia Kingdom Stone Throwing Troops used facts to tell him what the king of war was.

The Goguryeo cavalry was finally frightened, they were not brave, how could they not be real warriors who could continue to charge in the face of such a violent explosion, but they found that even if they rushed through many hardships, they still had to face the already famous Xia State Ironclad Army.

In the past, the Goguryeo cavalry did not have much interaction with the ironclad army, but the Goguryeo army had already known the combat effectiveness of the ironclad army from the Baekje and Silla people, and even if the cavalry faced several one-and-a-half-foot giant swords, it would still become a pile of minced meat.

After the explosion of explosives and the slashing of the ironclad army, the Goguryeo cavalry suffered more than 6,000 casualties, and the cavalry of the Yuandazuo lineage finally did not dare to continue to charge, they were completely frightened, and the total number of cavalry who finally fled back to the city was only more than 3,000 horsemen!

Looking at this cavalry who was full of confidence when he left the city and lost his soul when he returned to the city, Yuan Dazuo was silent, his generals were silent, and all the soldiers in the city who knew the news were also silent.

In the face of such a neat defeat, every Goguryeo in the city who knew the news began to ponder, but what Yuan Dazuo thought about in order to achieve victory, and what the others thought in their hearts was unknown.

After the vast majority of the Goguryeo soldiers in the city learned the news, their morale was even lowered, and they didn't know when it began, the atmosphere in Pyongyang changed all of a sudden, and the soldiers no longer thought that they could defeat the Xia army, but had to get by.

The soldiers in the city began to loot the people's property, and even murder and robbery occurred from time to time.

Yuan Dazuo soon learned about the chaos caused by the low morale in the city, and he knew that it would not work like this, and the more this happened, the more the morale of the soldiers must be boosted, otherwise it would probably cause a camp roar, and the losses would be great.

Now there are nearly 200,000 troops in Pyongyang, and he is ready to pull all the troops out of the city to have a decisive battle with the Xia army. 52

However, it is not too late, the total strength of the Goguryeo Chinese army is still nearly three times that of the Xia army, and even if it is used to fight with human life, it can make the Xia army suffer heavy losses.

The envoys sent by Yuan Dazuo to the Northern Zhou and the Turks have been on their way for two months, but no envoys have returned, regardless of whether the Northern Zhou will intervene in the Liaodong war or not, Yuan Dazuo believes that at least the greedy Turks will definitely intervene in the Liaodong war.

As long as he shows a certain amount of combat effectiveness and slows down the offensive of the Xia State, after the Turks intervene, Yuan Dazuo can even cede the entire Liaodong to the Turks, so that at least the Goguryeo people can keep a piece of their own land, which can be regarded as a careful thought of Yuan Dazuo.

Therefore, Yuan Dazuo must weaken the strength of the Xia State, but after the order for a decisive battle with the Xia army was issued, Yuan Dazuo found that he had a problem with the command of the army, and the Goguryeo army in the city refused to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Xia army.

Now there are very few of his descendants in the hundreds of thousands of troops under the command of Yuan Dazuo, although the 60,000 troops under the command of Yuan Dazuo are very strong in combat, but they have lost nearly 10,000 people in a series of blocking battles with Wang Ze, although these people have been replenished after entering Pyongyang City, but the loyalty of the newly replenished soldiers will be discounted.

After Yuan Dazuo controlled Gao Yangcheng's son, Rongying Wang Gao Yuan, Mo Zhili, who became the commander-in-chief of the soldiers and horses, also collected all the troops inside and outside Pyongyang into his own hands, and the army in his hands suddenly increased from the original 60,000 to more than 300,000.

In this way, a large number of generals who only obeyed Yuan Dazuo's orders on the surface were also absorbed into Yuan Dazuo's group, including a large number of Han soldiers and officers.

Because of the purge of the generals who supported Gao Yangcheng in the past few months, this led to the promotion of some Han officers who were originally in the middle and lower ranks, and among the 200,000 troops in Pyongyang City, Han officers accounted for nearly 40 percent, and the number of Han soldiers reached more than half of the total strength.

Originally, in front of these Han soldiers, whoever fought with them was to serve as soldiers and eat food, but in order to solve the interests of the fleeing Goguryeo people, Yuan Dazuo deprived the Han people of their interests, so these officers and soldiers from the Han family began to be dissatisfied.

There are also many soldiers who have been injured, maimed, or even killed because of their families, relatives, and friends in the opposition to the grain requisition, so these people's hatred for Yuan Dazuo is even stronger.

If there is dissatisfaction and hatred, it will definitely be taken advantage of, so Lian Yucheng, who has been hiding in the city of Pyongyang, and the wolf-tooth soldiers sent by Wang Ze secretly came into contact with a large number of Goguryeo Han officers, and they were quickly attracted by Wang Ze's conditions.

Wang Ze demanded that they only need to control one wall and gate of Pyongyang City, so that they can calculate their military exploits in the future, and they can also exchange a large amount of land in various parts of Liaodong in the future.

This is not only beneficial, but there is no need to send Yuan Dazuo to death with everyone is willing to do it, although more Han soldiers have no contact with them, but in the face of Goguryeo oppression, their interests are the same.

At first, these Han officers did not dare to act rashly, because at that time there were still 10,000 Goguryeo cavalry led by Yuan Dazuo's younger brother Yuan Mo in the city, and most of these Han officers and soldiers were new to the army, and they were still afraid of these old elites.

Until most of the results of this cavalry out of the city were reimbursed, the object of fear of these officers and soldiers became the Xia army outside the city, and the sword that the Han army in the city feared the most was gone, and they also saw the strength of the Xia army.

In such a situation, the Han officers and soldiers in Goguryeo were moved, and at this time, Yuan Dazuo sent an order to ask all the troops to go out of the camp to fight a decisive battle with the Xia army, which frightened them, and Yuan Dazuo wanted to die, but they were not willing to die with them.

Yuan Dazuo was not aware of these Han army movements at this time, and when he found out that something was wrong and wanted to send a large army to suppress it, he found that there were no troops in the city that he could trust, and the only thing he could command was still the tens of thousands of soldiers recruited from the eastern mountains.

At this time, the Han troops in the city also received the news that Yuan Dazuo was preparing to deal with them, so under the leadership of several middle-level officers, they quickly killed the high-ranking generals from the Goguryeo people, and then quickly occupied the two important gates of the West Gate and the North Gate.

The Han army in other parts of the city also responded, even if some of the Han army did not know the situation at first, but after seeing the other Han army uprising, they also joined one after another, and the other Goguryeo troops who did not know the situation faced the Han army that far exceeded their own number, and had to retreat in defeat.

When Yuan Dazuo learned the news of the Han army's rebellion in the city, tens of thousands of heavily armed Xia cavalry, ironclad troops, and Su guards were already preparing to enter the city, and tens of thousands of Xia troops were coming in the distance.

Yuan Dazuo was able to command the movement in his hands at this time, that is, the tens of thousands of old team members in his hands, but it was impossible to take these people to resist the Xia army, and in the end, he had to flee to the east gate surrounded by thousands of cavalry.
