Chapter 573: Self-Bondage

The struggle of an ethnic group often requires the efforts of the community, but its demise may be determined by the will of one or two people.

This is the characteristic of human society, where a small number of decisions are made, and most of them passively assume a predetermined destiny.

So, in the second year of Taiwu, September 3.

The king of Goguryeo did his best to serve the warriors, pei, and soap clothes in his country, and combined 30,000 troops with Zhang Chong's horse and 5,000 to fight at the Taizi River.

……

Under the mighty horn, the Goguryeo armies rushed out of the camp.

Stepping into thunder, shaking their sleeves into the wind, 30,000 people stepped out in the row under the call of their respective military officials and patriarchs.

At the same time, Yan Ran, the king of Goguryeo, sat on a military chariot and watched the armies move out for a long time.

At this time, he didn't have the depression and embarrassment of yesterday, and even the old minister was angry to death.

Suddenly, the king of the old country came to say:

"Who knows what's written on that flag on the other side?"

In the direction pointed by the king of the old country, a tall apricot yellow silk floated on the other side of the river.

Therefore, the king of Guochuan did not know that the former army general Da Horn Lu had also asked this question, and then soon his head was hung under Tian Jun's horse.

It doesn't seem like a good sign.

Therefore, the king of Guochuan asked, and all the literary and wise people in his country were enthusiastic, and one of the mediocre-looking scribes came out of the crowd and replied:

"King, the four characters written on the opposite side are the words of the Han people, which are 'for the way of heaven'."

Therefore, the king of Guochuan repeated this word:

"Acting for the heavens?"

Then he pondered for a moment, apparently pondering the meaning of those four words.

Suddenly, the king of Guochuan slapped his thigh:

"Those four words are good, very good."

But he kept saying that it was good, but he didn't say anything about how it was good or where it was good.

After that, the king of the old country said to the mediocre-looking scribe just now:

"Yibasu, you are the most cultured in my country, you came to think of four words, you have to be better than the Han people opposite."

The mediocre scribe is called Yibasu, who is the king of the old country Sichuan from the lower level, although he is not from the five major nobles in China, but he is proficient in Chinese, and has gone to Lelang Wang to study, and is a great literary talent in China.

Yi Basu saluted respectfully, but he was not in a hurry to receive the order, he asked:

"Your Majesty, Daxu can be written, but it is inevitably weaker in Chinese."

The king of the old country rolled his eyes:

"You don't need Chinese, do you want to get one temporarily? I don't know people who write it like that, so what's the meaning of writing it. ”

Yi Basu thought about it for a while, and after admiring the wisdom of the king, he asked people to pull a piece of white cloth, and then waved the book into four words:

"Fengtian carrier."

After he finished writing, he explained to the king of the old country:

"The king, the Han people on the other side use the four words for the heavens, but they have more than enough virtue but are insufficient. And the four characters of our military Fengtian carrier are showing the virtue of our great Goguryeo, and the heavenly dragon is also. ”

The king of Guochuan laughed, and then hurriedly asked Lux to raise the white flag and black letters.

Therefore, the king of Guochuan saw this big sword, the four-character dragon flew and the phoenix danced, and the pen walked the dragon and snake, and shouted that it was good-looking. But what they didn't know again was that the erection of the white flag meant surrender, which was another bad omen.

The king of the old country, who had consciously done a great thing, finally stopped tossing and began to quietly wait for the movement of the battlefield in front of him.

Ahead, where he couldn't see, both the Taishan army and the Goguryeo army had a tacit understanding to stop outside the river, and then both sides sent sappers to start building pontoon bridges.

This is also the condition for the Taishan Army to agree to let the corpses of nobles such as Yuan Da Yi go back.

At that time, the Taishan army said that if you were unwilling to withdraw the army after taking the corpse, it would be to fight to the death with the Taishan army. In this case, the Taishan army is also happy, so see you on the battlefield.

Then he made an appointment with the Goguryeo envoy on the time and method of the battle.

Each side will send people to build pontoon bridges, and then each will decide the order of sorties.

In this way, with the joint efforts of both sides, this not wide Taizi River is full of pontoon bridges, and a total of 16 pontoon bridges are connected one after another.

And in this process, the king of Guguochuan was bored, and just when he was waiting for a panic, he ran down for a brisk walk in front of him, and this person brought a message.

"The king, the Han people on the other side said that they were willing to raise 4,000 troops to cross the shore, but they said that the battlefield space was too small to enter at all, and they wanted us to retreat."

Faced with such a request, the king of Guochuan frowned and asked left and right:

"Do the Han people on the other side want to use any tricks? He also dared to cross the river with 4,000 people to take the initiative to invite us? ”

These civil and military officials have offered advice, and some think that this is the arrogance of the Han people, and there is no one in their eyes. Some people think that there can't be only 4,000 people on the opposite side, and once we give up our position, they will inevitably come out in large armies.

Among these chaotic suggestions, the king of the old country and the river grasped the most explanatory one, so he said to the walking trail that had just come down:

"You go back and give me a clear survey of the number of Han people on the other side of the river, and see if there are only 4,000 people."

The gallop took the order, and then galloped to the fruit and galloped back.

Not long ago, the first message was returned:

"It has been detected that the enemy army is indeed 4,000 horses."

Receiving this accurate news, the king of Guguochuan suddenly sneered, and he raised his right hand and then raised four fingers:

"Four thousand, just four thousand, the lord of the Han people on the other side is really arrogant. Since they came to seek death on their own initiative, this king will fulfill him. ”

As a result, the king of Guguochuan began to order all the armies to move back in unison to make room for the Han army on the other side.

Even in order to leave a good reputation, the king of Guochuan did not plan to use any means, because this war would inevitably be sung by future generations, and he did not want future generations to think that his former king of Guochuan relied on intrigue to win the Han people.

In this way, with the sound of dense golden sounds, accompanied by the Chinese army's vigorous marching, more than 30,000 people of Goguryeo really retreated one after another.

At this juncture, the apricot yellow daxu on the opposite side suddenly began to move in this direction, and then faster and faster.

And with the movement of this big curt, there was a roar that shook the earth, and the Han people on the other side were shouting wildly, and fearlessly rushing to cross with this big curt.

It was also from this moment that the rhythm of the entire battlefield suddenly accelerated.

Time may have passed half a moment, and this sense of acceleration was also transmitted to the king of the old country.

He was a little confused, because of the problem of vision, he couldn't see what was happening on the battlefield in front of him, but he saw that the apricot yellow big silk suddenly crossed the river.

Then it appeared in the front formation, and then it accelerated.

Therefore, the king of Guochuan has also fought, and of course he knows that this kind of thing is placed behind the battle, and it is also the position of the boss.

For example, the white horse Daxu he is standing now is similar.

So he had never heard Daxu use it as a charge banner, and he would be in a trance for a while, and asked such a sentence:

"Are the Han people on the other side about to surrender? Otherwise, why did Daxu appear in front of me? ”

No one can answer this question, and even the most cultured ethyl bass is losing their voices.

Apparently none of them could figure out what was going on in front of them.

So what's going on?

It turned out that when the armies of Goguryeo were steadily retreating according to the banner of the Chinese army, under the Xinghuang Daxu on the opposite bank, Zhang Zhengran, who had been sitting on his war horse, shouted:

"The fighter plane is coming, and the troops are ordered to charge with my command!"

So, without the knowledge of the riding generals including Xu Huang, Le Jin, Zhao Yun, Li Hu, Xi Shen and other riding generals, Zhang Chong directly rushed to the pontoon bridge with Tian Jun's tent armor ride.

The heavy armoured horses squeaked on the pontoon, making people worry as if they would capsize in the next moment.

But Zhang Chong and the others only walked on the eight pontoon bridges laid by themselves, and these finely built pontoon bridges undoubtedly supported the advance of the armored cavalry of the Taishan army.

When Zhang Chong crossed the Taizi River with his cupola apricot Huang Daxu, the Goguryeo people in front of them were speechless for a while, not knowing what these people were doing here.

These individual individuals have lost their sense of vigilance in the midst of a large array of tens of thousands of people, and they are wrapped in an illusory sense of security.

It's not just the Goguryeo people who are speechless, but the Turks who are still on the north shore are not dumbfounded?

Seeing the king's dae, they rushed across the pontoon bridge and were surrounded by the Goguryeo people on the opposite side.

Xu Huang, who had been eating jerky before, saw it, didn't even wear a hood, and yelled:

"Follow me!"

Then he picked up the horse and ran to the apricot yellow daxu.

And faster than Xu Huang is Zhao Yun.

From beginning to end, he had been paying attention to Zhang Chong's side, and when Zhang Chong's side charged, Zhao Yun really gave an order to the prepared Heji knights:

"Follow me to protect the king!"

As a result, the Jin Ge Iron Horse moved with this apricot yellow daxu and stepped into the south bank of the Taizi River.

……

Zhao Yun was covered in dust, and Ma Su went straight to Xinghuang Daxu and shouted:

"Your Majesty, Zhao Yun led the Heji knights into battle!"

In the rolling of the horse's hooves, Zhao Yun's words were actually inaudible at all.

But Zhang Chong just heard it, he laughed, held the fine iron horse lance in his hand, and shouted:

"Gentlemen, come with me today to ride Goguryeo, so that the horses can't be returned!"

Then, he raised his arms and shouted:

"Kill!"

At this time, all three armies heard it, and some knights who were still on the pontoon bridge could no longer suppress it when they heard this loud sound, and shouted one after another:

"Kill!"

As a result, a whirlwind set off by Zhang Chong and his cavalry around the tent was swept into the front army of the Goguryeo army.

They drove the billowing smoke and dust, like the water of the Taizi River, flooding and pouring, inside the smoke and dust was a sea of blood and sand, and outside the smoke and dust only heard the earth-shattering shouts to kill.

Previously, because the Goguryeo Chinese army ordered to retreat, its troops all withdrew in the south, and the formation was rich and chaotic. And when Zhang Chong rushed into the queue with three hundred armor cavalry with an unrivaled momentum, these people directly collapsed.

And this collapse was quickly transmitted to the rear army, and the rear army, like their king, was still in a daze, and suddenly saw the front army running wildly, knowing that they had collapsed, so they also immediately retreated.

In this way, the back pushes the front, the front presses the front, and the already small south bank valley is immediately blocked by the water.

When these Goguryeo only left their backs to the Taishan army, the war was declared over.

At the third moment of the battle, the battle situation was one-sided, and Goguryeo collapsed on all fronts.

When Zhang Chong rushed into the white dachu of the King of Goguryeo, their king, King Chuan of the Former Kingdom, was sitting under the tent, and a stray arrow hit him in the thigh.

Seeing this person, Zhang Chong, who was covered in blood, was calm, cut down the white daxue with a knife, and then said contemptuously:

"I have no grudge against you Goguryeo, why did you go out of the mountains to attack me?"

The face of the old king of Guochuan was embarrassed for a while, but something even more embarrassing was such a sentence:

"Don't dare to bother the country to go into the mountains to attack me, especially self-restraint."
