Chapter 841: The Great Goguryeo Earthquake (Part II)
Wu Nian had just defeated Shigetoshi Katagiri shortly after.
Wu Nianjun, inside the barracks. Although they had just been defeated, the soldiers did not relax their vigilance, wearing armor and holding spears, or standing guard, or patrolling, and the guard was extremely tight.
Surrounded by Zhang Zhen, Lu Yanxun and other personal soldiers, Wu Nian inspected the barracks, visited the wounded soldiers, and returned to the big tent to sit down.
Wu Nian took off the helmet and handed it to Zhang Zhen. Zhang Zhen turned around and put his helmet on the stake.
"General. This is the head of Shigetoshi Katagiri. A soldier walked in from outside, holding a boxy wooden box in his hand and offering it to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian didn't have any interest in this, waved his hand and said, "Find a small flag official and send the head to the capital of Goguryeo." ”
"Show the Queen Mother."
"Yes." The soldier answered, turned and went down.
Soon after, a cavalry of eleven men, with five more horses, left the barracks and headed south.
Morning.
Goguryeo Gyeongseong.
Although the gates were open, the guards at the gates were doubled. The inspection of entering the city is also much stricter.
The people did not know that the Fuso army had already attacked without permission.
But the murderous aura in the air made them feel that something was wrong.
It's like the breath before a storm.
Everyone knows that something big is happening. And it's not a good thing.
Inside the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Cigarettes rise from the delicate incense burner.
Li Jinzhu sat in front of the dresser, dressed. The face in the bronze mirror in front is still bright and moving. But there was anxiety between the eyebrows.
The palace maids who served Li Jinzhu were all cautious, for fear of angering Li Jinzhu.
Li Jinzhu couldn't suppress the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart, and suddenly stretched out his white and delicate little hand, pushed down the bronze mirror with all his might, and stood up.
"Mother forgiveness, mother forgiveness." The palace maids' tense heartstrings suddenly broke, and they fell to their knees in an instant, constantly begging for mercy.
Li Jinzhu didn't respond to them, and walked straight to the wide phoenix bed, intending to enter the warm bed.
Evade.
She had been losing her appetite since she got the news that the Fuso had sent troops, but strangely her sleep was not affected.
Lie under the covers, close your eyes and fall into a deep sleep. You can escape from reality.
Since sitting on the throne of the Queen Mother, Li Jinzhu never thought that there would be a day like today.
Even if Meng Yuanren rose strongly, she was just worried. Goguryeo's strength is still very strong, very strong.
Meng Yuanren couldn't help her.
Originally.
Wu Nian couldn't help her. The Yalu River is a moat that can withstand Wu Nian's male soldiers. Until she couldn't hold back, she sent Li Yunzhong, Zhao Mancheng and others to send 50,000 troops to cross the Yalu River.
As a result, 50,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, and only more than 10,000 escaped.
At that time, Goguryeo was in danger of losing the country. The covenant of the Fuso people helped her stabilize the situation.
Until now.
Subjugation.
Goguryeo perished.
After getting into the fragrant quilt, Li Jinzhu shrunk her delicate body and hid her head in the quilt.
It was only then that she felt a little safe.
But only a little.
She quickly became cranky and panicked.
"What should I do if the capital is breached?"
"What should I do if Goguryeo dies?"
"What if I'm captured by Wu Nian?"
She has read a lot of history books, and the fate of those kings who died and the queen mother who died is often not good.
The more cranky she was, the more panicked she became, and then the cold. She involuntarily stretched her arms and hugged her plump breasts, shivering.
Winter.
Growing up in a big family, she doesn't know the suffering of the people. Finally paid the price for his actions and felt the cold from Liaodong.
The roar of the Liaodong tiger was heard.
". General Li and General Zhao asked to see each other outside. ”
A palace maid cautiously approached the phoenix bed, her delicate body trembling slightly, and her voice trembled.
Lee Jin-joo's cold feeling dissipated. She lifted the incense quilt and sat up, and in an instant she regained her majesty, and said, "Dress." ”
After getting dressed, Li Jinzhu walked out of the dormitory. sat on the phoenix chariot and arrived at the front palace. After passing through the small door, Li Jinzhu came to the throne and sat down.
"Meet the Queen Mother."
Li Yunzhong and Zhao Mancheng bowed together.
"No courtesy." Li Jinzhu raised his hand slightly and lightly opened his red lips. The sound quality is crisp and touching.
"Empress Dowager Xie." Li Yunpet and Zhao Mancheng stood up straight.
"How's that up ahead?" Li Jinzhu put his right hand on the cushion, squeezed it tightly, and asked.
Li Yunzhong said in a deep voice: "Return to the Queen Mother." The Fuso people were defeated, and 20,000 troops were wiped out. General Zhao rushed back on a single horse to report the news. ”
Li Jinzhu felt that the world was spinning, and she almost fell headlong, and her delicate body couldn't stop trembling.
Li Yunpet and Zhao Mancheng lowered their heads slightly.
It took some time for Li Jinzhu to stop the trembling of her body. But the voice still trembled slightly.
"Can the capital still be held? What should the mourners do now? ”
Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng took a deep breath. Li Yunzhong said categorically: "Please rest assured, the queen mother will be able to hold the capital." ”
"That's right. There were still 80,000 soldiers in the city. There are also many loyal and good ministers. Gyeongseong is the foundation of Goguryeo, and it will never fall. ”
Zhao Mancheng is also a decisive railway.
Li Jinzhu's face softened slightly when he heard this, and he bowed his head slightly.
"That's good, that's good."
Although Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong assured that the capital would not fall. And did his best to maintain the defense of the capital.
Maintain the defense line of the capital and the three strongholds.
The defensive line they laid out was as solid as ever, without any flaws.
But the strongest line of defense in the world is the human heart, not the city.
The people's hearts are scattered, even the Shanhaiguan, which is the first Xiongguan in the world, will be easily broken.
The news of the defeat of the Fuso spread quickly.
The capital was in chaos.
At first, he was a merchant from other places, or a person who lived in the capital, such as a student of Goguryeo Guozijian. These people left the capital with their families and fled to their respective places of origin to escape the war.
Then there were some princely ministers.
The whole of Goguryeo is like a fire pit, and capable people are constantly running out.
Of course, this is not a no-go.
At the critical moment, some of the domestic slaves of the princes and ministers could also be armed to resist Wu Nian's attack. But Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng couldn't stop it.
You can't kill it, can you?
How many people do you have to kill?
If the fleeing people are killed, then there is no need to wait for Wu Nian to attack them.
The capital will have to collapse on its own.
The war is in chaos, a sign of national destruction.
Just when the Goguryeo dynasty was panicking, Wu Nian's army arrived at Gyeongak Castle.
In the end, can you hold the capital?
It's up to this battle.
