Chapter 487: Liaodong

The cold wind is still raging between the white mountains and black waters, the ice and snow have not yet melted, and the river has formed a layer of ice.

For some reason, when Murong Ke saw Nansu City, he thought of Lukou City, which is also the junction of two rivers.

The difference is that this time the city is in his hands, and the Goguryeo army on the opposite side takes advantage of the freezing of the river and steps across the bank.

Goguryeo, which has been established for more than 300 years, is no longer comparable to an ordinary small country, and when the Yan State focused its efforts on Middle-earth, Goguryeo took the opportunity to annex many tribes in the north, and it has been 14 years since the last war between the two countries, and its vitality has recovered a lot.

Yan failed to march into Middle-earth and suffered a great loss in strength, so Goguryeo seized the opportunity and prepared to annex Yan in one fell swoop, all of which were based on Liaodong.

Goguryeo's expansionist ambitions were by no means below the Yan Kingdom.

From a small Buyeo tribe in Goguryeo County in the Han Dynasty, it has expanded to the present day, all by annexing surrounding forces.

"The Grand Governor." Meng Gao, the general of the left guard of the Yan Kingdom, cast an inquiring look.

The cavalry at the forefront was actually the same as the Yan Kingdom, all of them were wearing iron armor, and from a distance, it was like a brown tide surging forward.

"There's no hurry." Murong Ke stroked the horse's head, and the war horse's mouth and nose spewed out two hot breaths.

Feng Yi looked at more and more Goguryeo cavalry, and smiled, "Goguryeo doesn't know the art of war, so he came bravely, and he has a plan!" ”

The Yan army was 20,000, and the Goguryeo army was nearly 50,000, and the Yan army was obviously inferior in a frontal battle, so Feng Yi had already made preparations.

Murong Ke said calmly: "Goguryeo bullied our country in a weak state, and its arrogance is very arrogant, and this battle will bring about its own defeat!" ”

If Goguryeo is an arrogant soldier, then the Yan army is a mourning army.

The successive setbacks did not break the will of this elite, at this moment, they needed a big victory more than ever, yes, Murong Ke did not choose to stick to the city, but went out of the city to fight.

Thirteen thousand cavalry formed a long line outside the city of Nansu, appearing and disappearing in the wind and snow.

Two thousand heavy horsemen lined up at the front, long chains connected to each other, hideous and heavy.

This battle will determine who will be the overlord of Liaodong in the future.

Behind the Goguryeo cavalry, a row of foot soldiers with spears slowly advanced.

Just as more than 10,000 Goguryeo iron horsemen and foot soldiers crossed the ice, Murong Ke's fierce enemy swung his lance forward, "Kill!" ”

The horses rose up, neighed at the sky, and then shot at the enemy like arrows, their bright red cloaks shaking with the cold wind like a burning flame.

"Kill!"

The Yan Iron Cavalry roared and rushed forward, the hooves of the rising horses kicking away the unmelted ice and snow on the ground.

More than 10,000 cavalry were like a huge mouth open, and countless spears turned into sharp teeth and pounced on the Goguryeo army opposite.

Fourteen years ago, Murong Ke once broke Goguryeo here, drove straight in, killed under the city of Marudu, plundered its people and livestock, and made Goguryeo dare not look east when he heard the name of Murong Ke.

Fourteen years later, Murong Ke fought here again.

The entire Yan Kingdom was in a state of hunger and needed the flesh and blood of Goguryeo, and at this moment, Murong Ke was more brave and fierce than before.

A Hai Dongqing smelled the bloody breath and swooped down from the dim sky, its horizontal wings swept across the battlefield, swept over Murong Ke's teeth, and let out a loud chirp.

And Murong Ke's lance was piercing into the chest of an enemy soldier, looking up at Hai Dongqing passing by.

Carved out of Liaodong, the most handsome is called Haidongqing, which is regarded as a sacred bird by all ethnic groups in Liaodong.

Haidongqing flapped its wings to the east, as if flying over the head of the Yan army, and the Yan army also tore the flesh and blood of the Goguryeo army from west to east, and the cavalry of the two sides collided together, bursting out with clusters of blood.

The soldiers let out a scream, and the horses neighed miserably before they died.

The chain horse dragged the chain and swept across the battlefield.

The blackened chains were dyed red, and a layer of flesh hung from them.

The Goguryeo infantry was originally able to resist, but after the serial armored horses appeared on the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield was one-sided.

The horsemen on horseback were far away with bows and arrows, and close with spears, killing and wounding many people.

So much so that when the Goguryeo war horses saw the rattling chains, they did not dare to step forward.

Murong Ke led a group of elite horsemen and threw himself into the Goguryeo footmen.

However, the Goguryeo foot soldiers on the opposite side continued to step on the ice.

Boom, armor and armor thundered.

At this moment, more than 100 catapults on Nansu City started, and fireballs flew across the battlefield with a roar and smashed on the river.

After seeing the power of the Liang army's thunderbolt car, the Yan army also attached importance to various siege equipment.

Although the power of these dozens of catapults cannot be compared with that of thunderbolts, they are enough to smash through the river ice.

After the fireball, heavy stones were constantly thrown, and under the continuous smashing, the river ice "boomed" and shattered.

At the end of March, in Liaodong, the ice surface was not thick, and it was cracked in one place, cracked everywhere, and cracked everywhere.

Feng Yi personally led thousands of soldiers to the unbroken place to dig the ice, and the Goguryeo army stepped forward to fight, and as soon as they reached the center of the river, they roared and fell into the icy water.

In the blink of an eye, the 20,000 Goguryeo army on the east bank became a lone army.

Either fight with your back or be driven into the water, and there is only one way to surrender.

"Murong Ke is here, those who descend will not be killed!" Murong Ke rushed along the river bank like a meteor, and the guards beside him shouted loudly in Buyeo language.

The Goguryeo army was also a mixture of various ethnic groups, including the Fuyu people, the Central Plains people, the Xianbei people, and the Hui people, and they were afraid of Murong Ke's prestige, and many people put down their weapons and knelt on the ground.

Those who did not descend were ruthlessly slashed and killed by the Yan army, and blood flowed into the glacier.

After hearing Murong Ke's name, the Goguryeo army on the other side was agitated, and its momentum suddenly weakened a little......

In the dragon city, the warm pavilion is as warm as spring, and the dark fragrance floats.

Murong Ping looked worried, "If the Metropolitan Governor wins this battle, I'm afraid that he will have to deal with me and others when he turns back." ”

The so-called us include Ke Zuhun Clan, Murong Wei, and the newly favored warlock Ding Jin.

The contradictions between the two sides are becoming more and more prominent.

Nearly a quarter of the land in Liaodong was in the hands of Murong Ping, and there were as many as 20,000 servants under his direct control, and if you count slaves, the number will be doubled.

But Zuhun also had a deep worry in his beautiful eyes, "What if...... It's good that the Metropolitan Governor is his own person, but it's a pity that ......"

It's a pity that Murong Ke has not complied.

Ding Jin stroked three locks of long beard, "Liaodong is the Liaodong of His Royal Highness, not the Liaodong of the Metropolitan Governor, in the long run, I am afraid that the people of the Yan Kingdom only know that there is a Metropolitan Governor, but they don't know that there is a King of Yan......"

"Presumptuous." Murong Ping reprimanded weakly.

He doesn't care who Yan Guo is, he cares about his family property and power.

The more majestic and upright Murong Ke is, the more he sets off his greed and incompetence.

"The villain is dedicated to the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness, and if he has made a gaffe, he hopes to forgive his sins." Ding Jin hurriedly surrendered his hand.

But Zuhun glanced at Murong Ping, "Without the Dadu Governor, the sky of the Yan Kingdom will fall, Hugh said that the Liang State, even Goguryeo is difficult to resist, and after the Dadu Governor and the three armies play Kai, the concubine will discuss with him again, begging for mercy, they are all a family, why bother?" ”
