Chapter 538: Return to the Dynasty
The east wind in June is high and cool, the sky is as blue as jade, and the pressure is extremely low, as if you can reach out and pick a few clouds.
Verdant grass covered the vast expanse of land, occasionally revealing a black earth or two.
At the end of the grass, a majestic city stood among the hills.
That is the capital of Maru, the former capital of Goguryeo, and then was broken by the famous general of Cao Wei generation Biqiu Jian, Goguryeo destroyed the country, in this battle, Murong Xianbei's ancestor Mo Hubao sent troops to assist, flanking Goguryeo, Mo Huba's son Mu Yan led the troops to join the conquest, and was named the king of Zuoxian, the governor of the capital by Cao Wei, and then because of the merit of preserving Liucheng, he entered Xianbei Shan Yu.
After the Wei army retreated, the Central Plains was brought to the bottom by the Sima family, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and the remnants of Goguryeo made a comeback, recaptured the capital of Maru, and changed it to a domestic city.
As long as this city is breached, Murong Ke will be able to sweep through Liaodong.
To sum up, the Murong family and Goguryeo have been fighting for Liaodong for more than 100 years.
Although Murong Ke once destroyed Goguryeo, he was never able to destroy it.
Later, Murong focused on Middle-earth, giving Goguryeo a chance to breathe.
After nearly two years of fierce battles before and after this war, the domestic city has also reached the point of running out of oil and lamps.
Murong Ke knew very well that the Yan State had lost the opportunity to enter the Central Plains, and before the Liang State unified the Middle Earth, it was necessary to unify the whole of Liaodong in order to compete with the Central Plains.
The destruction of Goguryeo was only his first step, and the next step was that the Yan Iron Cavalry would cross the Great Xianbei Mountain and attack Mobei.
In the warm summer breeze, there were more and more white hairs on Murong Ke's sideburns, and his face became more and more vicissitudes, the only thing that remained unchanged was his sharp eyes.
"Break through this city, all according to Liaodong." Murong Ke waved his lance and pointed at the city lying among the hills.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Under his leadership, Sergeant Yan walked towards one glory after another, and this time was no exception.
Almost all the soldiers believed that as long as Murong Ke was there, the Yan Kingdom would not decline.
Murong Ke's three sons, Murong Kai, Murong Su, and Murong Shao, all wore armor and held blades in front.
"Siege!" Murong Ke waved his lance behind him.
The rumbling of war drums rose from the ground, and the sonorous sound of armor was dense like raindrops.
The domestic city stood on the hill, and the siege equipment could not be delivered, so it could only be destroyed by flesh and blood.
The ant colony of swallows flocked to the hills, and in an instant, a dense rain of arrows covered the sky and scattered it to the earth.
Screams were heard everywhere.
Murong Kai shouted wildly with a big shield on his head: "Goguryeo people don't have many arrows, so there is no need to be afraid!" ”
Sure enough, after two or three waves, the rain of arrows fell sparsely, but there were not many arrows, but there were more rolling stones and woods, and the black pressure rolled down the hillside, and the narrow mountain road suddenly became a bloody road.
Yan Jun did not retreat, and continued to grit his teeth and advance forward.
Two years ago, in the First World War of the South Sudan, nearly 10,000 people were captured and beheaded by Murong Ke, and in the past two years, the soldiers of Goguryeo have come more and more, and in order to resist Murong Ke's attack, even women have been sent.
"Kill!" Murong Su carried the long ladder and rushed towards the city wall.
The soldiers behind him bent their bows and arrows to suppress the defenders of the city.
As long as he rushed over the mountain road and approached the city wall, Goguryeo was basically gone, and he was by no means an elite opponent under Murong Ke in close combat.
Knock, knock, knock......
At a critical time, Murong Ke personally beat the drum.
The majestic war drums resounded throughout the mountains, and the morale of the Yan army was greatly increased.
However, at this time, the horn also sounded in the city, and the Goguryeo people also resisted to the death, and men, women, and children rushed to the city together to fight with the Yan army.
Goguryeo has been established for nearly 400 years, and it is also a hard bone, and the enmity with the Murong clan is as deep as the sea, and it will never compromise.
The gray walls were gradually dyed red.
Countless corpses rolled down the hills.
After paying heavy casualties, Goguryeo withstood the onslaught of the Yan army with great difficulty.
However, between the white mountains and black waters, more Yan troops stood on the ground like weeds......
"Father, as long as you attack again, the domestic city will be broken!" Murong Kai was covered in blood, and there were two broken arrows stuck in his shoulders.
That being said, in fact, the Yan soldiers have long been exhausted and have been fighting for the past two years.
"It's getting late today, tomorrow I will personally go into battle, take this city, and swallow Goguryeo"
It gets dark in Liaodong earlier than in the Central Plains.
Murong Ke needs to preserve the last elite under his command.
The next day, a Yan army of 5,000 people regrouped, Murong Ke wore armor and held a shield, and more than a dozen Yan generals lined up.
A gust of summer wind blew, Murong Ke coughed a few times, and his body trembled together in the cough.
"Killing chickens with a knife? The governor of the capital can supervise the battle in the back, and the last general will be the striker, so if you don't break the city, you can see you! "The ministry will be fresh in the bright arch hand.
In the battle of Thorn City, Shi Hu was defeated, Xian Yuliang lost his horse and was surrounded, and scolded Yan Jun in the midst of ten thousand troops: As a nobleman, he is not succumbed to the villain. You Cao can kill and kill, but if you can't, you can go!
Murong Haozhuangzhi greeted him with a horse, and Cui Yu's daughter and wife were used as the left attendant.
Xian Yuliang has been dead set on the Yan State since then, followed Murong Ke to fight in all directions, charged first, and was the only remaining general of the Yan army.
"Killing chickens must use a knife, the Goguryeo people are tough by nature, and they failed to uproot it at the beginning, so there is today's matter, and this battle cannot be given another chance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Ke coughed again.
In the past few years, all things at home and abroad have been pressed on his shoulders, eating and drinking, sleeping at night, and never slacking off, so that Yan Guo can survive the most difficult moment.
Now that the opportunity for revival is finally met, how can we not do it ourselves?
At the beginning of the battle to destroy the Fuyu Kingdom and the Thorn City, Murong Ke was in the front.
"The first emperor died early, and the governor of the capital ...... Take care of your body. Feng Yi persuaded tactfully.
Murong Jun was in the prime of life, but he died of illness inexplicably, and it has always been an unsolved case in Yan Kingdom.
However, others didn't know the inside story, but Feng Yi found some clues.
"The matter...... Don't mention it again, as a courtier, I should do my best and die! ”
Murong Ke lifted the sword and shield, and when he was about to set out for the battle, several horsemen from the west rushed over, "Dadu Governor, the Queen Mother has an order, please Dadu Governor return to the court quickly!" ”
shouted in front of the whole army, and morale was immediately depressed.
"Queen Mother...... If you don't make the Metropolitan Governor make contributions, you ......" Feng Yi sighed in a low voice.
Murong Ke has already monopolized power, and if Goguryeo is destroyed again, he will inevitably overpower the little emperor Murong Wei, as well as the Empress Dowager Kezuhun and Murong Ping.
Even if Murong Ke is loyal, can the proud soldiers and fierce generals under his command be content with their current fate?
The contradictions between the two sides have been going on for a long time.
That's how they teamed up to squeeze out Murong Chui at the beginning, and now it's Murong Ke's turn.
"The general will not be subject to the life of the monarch outside, and success or failure will be in this move!" Xian Yuliang persuaded in a low voice.
"Your Majesty is ill, the court is uneasy, and the remnants of the party want to collude with the Liang people, and most of the governors will return quickly!" Several eunuchs trotted all the way to Murong Ke with their voices sharpened.
If Murong Ke doesn't return, he will undoubtedly disobey the order first, and both sides will completely tear their faces.
"The Grand Duke!" Xian Yuliang, Murong Kai, Murong Su and the other Yan generals looked at Murong Ke with hope.
They were looking forward to Murong Ke taking this step.
When Murong Jun was dying, he wanted to establish Murong Ke as the king, and the whole country knew it.
It is no longer a question of whether to attack Goguryeo or not, but the most critical choice facing the Yan Kingdom......
"The Queen Mother has an order, and the armies will return to the court quickly!" Dozens of horsemen came from the west, shouting on their horses.
If you were someone else, you would definitely break Goguryeo first.
It's a pity that Murong Ke is no one else, and he refuses to take this step after all, "If I can defeat Goguryeo once, I can defeat the second and third times, and the order is that the army will return to the court, and he will come again to capture this city in the future, it is not too late." ”
Goguryeo has been crippled, go back and rest, and come back again.
Xian Yuliang angrily threw the sword and shield in his hand to the ground.
Feng Yi sighed lowly.
