Xuansu.

A name that the people of the Central Plains can't hope for, he represents the glory of the Han Dynasty and the glory that the Han people all remember. In the era of the Han Empire, it was the era of opening up the territory, driving out the fierce slaves in the north, opening up the Western Regions, and conquering the south.

And the famous sentence of the Han Dynasty that offended my Han Dynasty, although it is far away, will be punished, it has made countless descendants admire, this is the backbone of the Han family, the arrogance of the Han family, and the prestige of the Han family.

With this sentence, although it is far away, the Han Empire chased the fierce slaves in the north, swept through the Western Regions, and even conquered the east to destroy Weiman Korea, and established the four counties of the Han Dynasty in this part of Liaodong, Xuansu, which is also one of these four counties.

Xuansu became one of the symbols of the strength of the Han Empire.

Just like a few years ago, Yang Guang fought to exterminate Tuyuhun and established the four counties of Xihai and Mo in Qinghai, or in other words, Yang Guang's four counties of Qinghai were actually imitating the four counties of Liaodong of the Han Empire.

Of course, with the demise of the Han Empire, the city of Xuanyu was no longer famous, and even many people in the world have forgotten this name.

Although there is still a Xuansu City by the Liao River, it is no longer the Xuansu City that used to be the four counties of the Han Dynasty, he just moved again and again, and finally moved to a small city on the bank of the Liao River.

The city is small, and there is no danger to defend, a flat city, compared with the more than 200 mountain cities on the Liaohe defense line, this is no danger to defend.

However, after Luo Cheng came with 20,000 people, after this period of hard work, half a month later, Xuanyu City already had a good defensive force.

One city, two forts, three joint defenses.

Xuansu City is not in danger to defend, but Xuansu City also has its preciousness, that is, it has a large population and a mountain of money, food, and ordnance.

Luo Cheng drove all the people within fifty miles of Xuansu City to the city, and even brought back the livestock and food outside the city, and now Xuansu City is like a huge temporary refugee camp.

There were 20,000 Sui troops in one city and two forts, as well as nearly 50,000 people of the original Goguryeo Xuansu.

However, among the 50,000 people, there are more than 10,000 descendants of the former Han family, who have now become Luo Cheng's reliable helpers, and the young and strong among them form a county barracks of 1,000 people and a township corps of 3,000 people.

The tribal militia composed of Khitans, Xi people, Turkic people, Murwei people, and Jin people also reached 3,000 people, and was assigned by Luo Cheng to one city and two forts to assist in the defense of the city.

If it weren't for Luo Cheng's early crossing this time.

Perhaps after the New Year, the city lord of the new city will move all the money, food, and ordnance accumulated in Xuansu City, and even the population of Xuansu will retreat, and then Xuansu will be just an empty city on the front line that can be defended.

But the appearance of Luo Cheng made this small city famous all over the world again.

Because the weather is cold and snowy heavily.

On the third day after Luo Cheng broke through Xuanyu City, the city lord of the new city, which was hundreds of miles away, learned the news, and then he spent another five days studying countermeasures.

Eventually, he decided to send troops to retake the outpost, and he sent orders to the surrounding mountain towns and forts to draw troops and horses. But the weather was bad, and the troops were sent slowly from all over the country, and by the time he gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses in the new city, it had been half a month since Luo Cheng captured Xuansu City.

There was no sign of the snow melting, and the entire bank of the Liao River was white.

Even before the snow melted, it snowed again a few days later, and the snow became thicker and thicker.

This made Xincheng's counterattack extremely slow.

It took ten days for this army of 20,000 mobilized from all over the place to set off, and it took ten days to arrive at Gaimu, which was forty miles away from Xuanyu City.

Another snowstorm came unexpectedly, and the Goguryeo army had to take shelter in the city of Gamu to recuperate.

And so on for another ten days.

When they sent out their troops again, thirty-five days had passed since the fall of Xuansu City.

At dusk that day, the 20,000 Goguryeo troops finally arrived near Xuansu City.

But there are still eight miles away from Xuansu City, and I first encountered a fortress with the banner of the Sui Dynasty.

The fort is built on the hill, occupies the height and guards, although it is narrow, but it is dangerous.

As soon as the shadow of the Goguryeo army appeared, the bell and horn had already sounded in the fortress over there.

The foot soldiers climbed the fort wall, and the cavalry stepped on their horses.

The gates of the fort were opened, and the light horsemen went out of the city first, followed by the footmen.

Everything is in order.

The defenders in the castle have been waiting for the Goguryeo for more than a month. Everyone knew that the Goguryeo people would definitely come, and they deduced the situation after the Goguryeo people came countless times and made one coping strategy after another.

Even under the fortress, the fortifications of the defense were densely packed.

Windswept flag.

Luo Siye led half of the soldiers in the front compartment to stand in the fort, and he was a little impatient. By now, the soldiers in the front compartment had lost their last bit of fear and worry about the Goguryeo people, and they were just eager to fight now.

In any case, no matter how many Goguryeo people come, please fight a battle first.

Luo Siye did not shrink into the castle.

At the beginning, Luo Cheng set up two forts outside the city, in order to block the enemy step by step, to actively defend in three dimensions, use the castle defense, rely on the favorable terrain, and kill and injure the Goguryeo army little by little.

The Luo family has never been in the habit of being beaten passively.

Appearing at the forefront was the vanguard of 20,000 soldiers and horses led by the lord of Goguryeo Xincheng.

They numbered about 5,000 men, about 2,000 light horsemen in front, and 3,000 foot soldiers in the rear. The light cavalry in front was obviously a cavalry from the Warrior tribe, while those following behind were armed with various weapons such as longbows and spears.

In the snow, they lined up like a black tide.

Trekking in the snow was obviously very hard, and these Goguryeo people had frozen red faces and ice stubble on their beards.

Si Ye carefully looked at the striker, and when he was almost observed, he waved his Mo knife and pointed forward.

"Get up, meet the enemy!"

He rode his horse in front, followed by five hundred Mo swordsmen carrying Mo swords, one thousand and five foot soldiers with bows and crossbows behind, and one thousand light horsemen followed with two wings.

The Sui army of the castle would go out of the city to fight, which did not surprise the Goguryeo people. But they actually caught up directly, which surprised them.

"Good coming, on!"

Originally, he thought that the main general of the Goguryeo forward, who was resting first under the city, was undoubtedly angered by the arrogance of the Sui people, and regardless of the arrival of the soldiers and horses, he immediately drew his sword and commanded the attack.

The two armies approached quickly.

Seeing that the two sides are less than three hundred steps.

Siye Lerma stopped and thrust the Mo knife into the ground.

"Definitely!"

The five hundred Mo knife hands stood together, and the Mo knife on his shoulder slammed into the ground in front of him.

"Hold the bow!"

Whether it is a foot rider, a Mo swordsman or a light infantryman, they all took off their bows at this moment, and drew a long arrow from their quiver and stuck it on the ground in front of them.

The Sui army stopped, but the Goguryeo army did not.

Instead, they ran faster and faster.

Among the foot soldiers, light horses on both wings.
