273 Barbarian invasion

……

Time flies, and it's the middle of June in a blink of an eye.

The situation in Toei finally stabilized, and Sachiko Oda was also taken to Kyoto by the Han army from Ryushima, officially taking over the name of the locust.

Although Oda Sachiko is still very resistant to this throne, when he thinks that his son Xu Fu can take over the throne in two years, then he can be relieved to continue to live that drunken life in the Central Plains.

At the same time, after the strong recommendation of Yoshitaka and the careful analysis of the Han court, he finally chose to let Matsudaira Motoyasu, who has rich experience in internal politics, serve as the Dongying Taige, and established close ties with the Han Dynasty.

With the support of the Han Dynasty, Matsudaira Motoyasu had basically secured the pinnacle of power in Toei, and immediately issued a "no-incident order", ordering all daimyo to cut all ashigaru except for the samurai class, and devote themselves to restoring the post-war economic reconstruction.

The Edo region, which was originally controlled by the Hojo clan, had become the first colony under the real control of the Han army overseas, and the internal government affairs of Edo were modeled after the Han Dynasty system, with the establishment of official offices such as customs, commerce department, shipping department, and public works department, and the appointment of officials was directly appointed by the Han central government.

Currently, Yoshitaka Kamitsu is the chief executive of the Edo region, maintaining peace in the region.

With the stabilization of the situation in the Dongying region, foreign trade activities in the coastal areas of the Central Plains gradually became more frequent, and countless Han industrial products continued to pass through Edo as a springboard and imported them to various parts of the South Seas on a large scale, bringing countless wealth to the Central Plains and at the same time, the living conditions of the people of Edo Castle were visibly changed.

The hard-won peaceful and easy life, coupled with the good discipline of the Han garrison, also made the people of Edo feel the true meaning of "who can be fed with them".

For this reason, it was not long before the small people in Edo Castle, both commoners and large households, turned to support the governance of the Han Dynasty.

At this moment, an unprecedented crisis is about to erupt in this barren land.

On June 17, a banquet was being held in Laiyang City, a small city in Goryeo that is less than 100 miles away from Sangju City.

The son of a wealthy family in the city got married today, invited the neighbors to help, and stopped by to attend the banquet.

For such a scene of eating and drinking for nothing, the Koreans have always refused to come, and they came to the big family's house very early to get busy.

For a time, the streets of this small city were filled with a pleasant atmosphere.

The son of the rich family is surnamed Zhang, named Zhang Chengdong, 20 years old this year, and his wife who is about to marry is Pu Yinshu, who is 16 years old.

The wedding scene was magnificently decorated, and many dancers danced traditional local dances to celebrate the couple's marriage.

For a while, laughter and laughter kept echoing in the sky above the city, until they drifted to the outskirts of Laiyang, on the empty plains and hills.

Suddenly, a foreign cavalryman with oil paint on his face and leather armor soaked in horse dung appeared behind the hills and mountains, staring at Laiyang City with a pair of cold eyes.

Not long after, an alien cavalryman who was half naked and wrapped in a tiger skin cloak slowly rode forward, and after glancing at the city in the distance with his previous companions, he raised his right hand, and a fierce Hai Dongqing suddenly appeared.

After muttering a few words to Hai Dongqing, the alien cavalry shook his arm suddenly, and the bird of prey immediately spread its wings and flew towards the dense forest behind him.

In the dense forest, a team of 1,000 cavalry stood quietly waiting for instructions, led by none other than Zhao Getu himself.

When the birds of prey flew to his arms and exchanged words with each other for a while, Zhao Getu had an extremely cruel smile on his face.

"Warriors, these lowly Goryeo dogs don't know about our coming, and years of peace have made them forget who was their master,

Now, let's help them remember who is the owner of this land! Come with me to take this city! ”

"Wow~~"

Zhao Getu's words instantly made the blood of this group of alien cavalry boil, and their faces were full of greedy hideousness.

"Kill me!"

"Kill!"

With an order, a thousand Shen cavalry stepped out of the dense forest and galloped towards Laiyang City.

At this moment, at the head of Laiyang City, several guards were still complaining and dissatisfied that they could not attend Zhang Chengdong's wedding, and they did not pay attention to the changes in the plain outside the city.

In front of the city gate, several guards also kept crying that since the Han officers left, whether it was salary or food treatment, Qi Qi had dropped several grades, considering whether to drag the relationship to Pingxiang City.

There are less than fifty defenders in the entire Laiyang City, and these are still improvised.

After all, it was the beginning of the restoration of the country, there was nothing, and most importantly, there was not enough money to pay for grassroots expenses, which led to the general scarcity of defenders throughout Goryeo.

The so-called most elite garrison, that is, the 4,000 Goryeo officers, is currently mainly responsible for suppressing the uprisings in various places, and there is no time to deploy them to the localities.

After chatting with his colleagues, an elderly defender at the head of the city was about to go down to the castle tower to find a place to lazy, when he suddenly found a burst of yellow sand outside the city, and the roaring sound of iron hooves was extremely harsh in his ears.

He tried to fix his eyes, and the next moment his pupils shrank, and he took a few steps back in fright, and shouted loudly: "Oh no! Barbarian...... The barbarian slaughter is coming! ”

When his companion heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly looked out of the city.

At this moment, everyone's faces changed drastically.

It's been a long time since I've seen such a scene, and I'm stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.

Just when the Goryeo defenders at the head of the city were stunned, the Shen cavalry had already killed the city.

Zhao Getu took off the corner bow behind him, mounted a heavy arrow, aimed at a Goryeo guard wearing a cloth helmet at the head of the city, and directly released the bowstring.

"飕~"

"Poof~"

An arrow pierced through the guard's throat.

The Goryeo guards who were hit by the arrows clutched the shaft of the arrow in their throats in disbelief, feeling the sharp pain like a knife cut, and couldn't believe that they had died like this?

Flutter, flutter, flutter, flutter......

Poof, poof, poof, poof......

Arrows were constantly being fired from the horsemen's hands, and the arrows were so fierce and accurate that each arrow could bring down a defender at the head of the city.

In just a dozen breaths, half of the defenders at the head of the city had fallen.

In the end, it was the older guard who was the first to react, crawling to the warning drum and slamming the drumstick on the leather drum.

Boom~~

A violent roar echoed, accompanied by the guard's heart-rending roar:

"Close the gates! Smecta !! ”

The numb Goryeo defenders finally reacted and hurriedly shouted to close the city gates.

However, when Zhao Getu saw the city gate slowly closing, he was not in a hurry, and was not in a hurry to break through the city gate, but ordered people to continue to shoot arrows into the city.

At this time, in the city, because Zhang Chengdong's wedding scene was singing and dancing, he did not hear the drums of the warning.

After the wedding ceremony of the protagonist, the onlookers finally waited for the steaming broth and fragrant white flour steamed buns.

All of a sudden, there was no shortage of repeated words of congratulations in their mouths, but their eyes were glued to the delicious food......

"Puff~"

"Uh~~"

At the head of Laiyang City, three elite Shen people who used rope hooks to climb to the top of the city fought with the Goryeo defenders.

However, these three elites of the Shen clan are the elite of the elite, each with extraordinary skills, and in a few back and forth, seven or eight Goryeo defenders have been resolved.

Seeing that he was invincible, the last defender turned around in fright and wanted to flee, but was saved from behind by an elite tiger pounce, who directly cut off his head with a knife.

Then, more of the Shen warriors jumped into the city, smirking and walking towards the guards who had already peed their pants behind the city gates.

"Please don't kill me, Smecta! I'm willing to surrender Smecta! ”

Seeing this group of barbarians approaching, the Goryeo guards immediately knelt on the ground and cried and begged for mercy and kowtowed.

However, they were greeted by a cold butcher's knife that cut their throats......

The gates of Laiyang slowly opened.

At this moment, the city no longer has any defensive strength.

"Rush in and indulge!"

"Roar~~"

With Zhao Getu's order, thousands of Shen cavalry rushed in and began to ruthlessly abuse the city......
