Arrows rained down on the city's head, and rolling logs and stones were thrown down desperately. But it still can't stop the Goguryeo athletes of the Xuanfeng Battalion from yearning for freedom. They went forward and braved. Under the cover of the archers and trebuchets of the Han army, it took a whole day to fill in the moat of Marudu City with human lives.

Lu Zhi saw that the sun had fallen in the west and twilight was approaching, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and sent people to clean up the battlefield while burying the pot to make rice. In this big battle, the corpses of Marudu Castle were all over the field. The Han army dug a large pit in the west of the city, threw the remains of the Goguryeo people who died in the battle into the pit, sprinkled them with fire oil, and buried them. Then he burned the bones of his soldiers in a separate place, and put the ashes in a jar, which was to be brought back. In the future, along with the reward, it will be returned to their families and relatives.

The ground was covered with blood and water, arrows and stone pits, and the remains of burning wood. In the air, scavenging vultures hovered back and forth, their chirpings reverberating through the wilderness. Add a bit of bleakness to this battlefield. If there is a literati here, maybe he will have to write a few words of poetry. It's a pity that except for Lu Zhi, who was born in a literati, he was a little touched in his heart, including Zhang Fei and others, who is not hard-hearted, and the sea of corpses and blood is just waiting for leisure. I don't have the heart to appreciate it at all. is Lu Zhi, although he is known as a great Confucian, but the people he kills and the battles he fights, there are not a lot of them at all.

Night, soon came. The Mazi River was flowing endlessly, and most of the soldiers in the Han army camp had fallen asleep, and only the patrolling soldiers and the sound of fighting around them were still telling the enemy in the city that they had not slackened.

In the city, the king of Goguryeo has concubines under his pillow, and the warm fragrance of nephrite jade, which used to make his blood surge, does not seem so confusing tonight. Marudu City must not be able to be saved, and today the Han people themselves did not move much at all, but just drove those cheap slaves to fill in the moat. The king of Goguryeo did not think that the walls of Marudu Fortress would be able to withstand the advance of the Han army. What is the way out?

The next day, Lu Zhi beat the drum and gathered the generals, and ordered Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Tai Shici to each lead a part to attack the pill capital. Satsuma stayed in the Chinese army for maneuvering. The weapons of war that shocked the Goguryeo people were dispatched.

Like the trickle of solidification in Pinggao Fortress, the King of Goguryeo and his ministers who were supervising the battle at the head of the city were confused. Isn't it just that you build a ladder to attack the city, and then we will knock you down? So many strange things, what's the use?

Soon, they knew. As soon as the Han army on the building cart waved its flag, the catapults and archers below hit the archers on the city wall as if they had eyes, and even the shells fired by the catapults almost hit them.

And then there's the slow forward, the huge impulse. At first glance, you can tell that it is a threatening siege machine. The king of Goguryeo was hoarse and asked his generals to find a way to destroy the hideous monster that was gradually approaching the city wall. It's a pity that Linchong was tightly guarded. One of the generals said: "King, this thing moves slowly, and it is not impossible to destroy it, as long as you send an elite army out of the city and set it on fire." ”

The King of Goguryeo's eyes lit up and said, "Then don't go quickly!" ”

The general was the general who led the army out of the city to attack the rear camp of the Han army during the battle between the Han army and Gao Baqi, and he was also conceited of his courage on weekdays, so he received the order, and led the elite of the headquarters, opened the city gate, and rushed to kill the past.

Qingzhou Gongcao made the Linchong, although there are many wheels below. But there are hundreds of soldiers hidden in it, and there is no asphalt road in front of Marudu Castle, so it is stuck in the mud and moving slowly, really like a snail. The general of Goguryeo led the cavalry of his headquarters to rush over, and before the people arrived, they were covered by rounds of arrows, and the Han army guarding the rushing was not panicked, and under the command of his own captain, the big shield was raised high. When the enemy approached, behind the shield, a spear suddenly stabbed out like a poisonous snake. At this moment, blood burst out and screams. The comrades below are fighting, and the soldiers in the rushing will not be idle, relying on the condescending advantage, they are high above the rushing and keep shooting arrows. As the rain of arrows continued to fall, every second a Goguryeo knight would fall miserably.

The heart of the general of Goguryeo is dripping blood, these are his henchmen, it is not easy to cultivate one, but now he is constantly buried under the city of Marudu. He slashed and smashed, and finally killed a bloody road and rushed to the front of the rush, and slashed with a knife. As a result, there was a muffled bang, and only a thin trace appeared on the pillar of Linchong. When the general of Goguryeo saw it, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and it was animal skin and iron, should he do this?

The guard next to him said: "General, don't cut the pillars, cut the wheels." ”

This is a good way, it is not easy to destroy the rush, but as long as it is not close to the city wall, it will be considered successful. As a result, the Goguryeo people divided the wheels of Linchong by cutting and chopping them and destroying them completely. After destroying this Linchong car, the Goguryeo general was about to lead his troops to destroy the second one, but found that something was wrong.

The general of Goguryeo looked around, and saw smoke and dust billowing from the battlefield, as if countless soldiers and horses were killing him. My heart trembled, the secret way is not good, I can't stay any longer, and if I don't retreat, I and these sons under my command will all be buried here. So he turned his horse's head and shouted, "Retire, go back to the city!" ”

It's easy to come, but it's not so easy to go. Linchong, a siege vehicle, was naturally the object of attention of the Han army. As soon as the gate of Marudu City opened, Lu Zhi knew what they were going to do. So he also sent a herald to tell the generals on the battlefield to intercept and kill the Goguryeo army that was leaving the city.

Tai Shi Ci was in charge of attacking the West Gate, which happened to be the side of the Goguryeo generals who went out of the city. Hearing that the Goguryeo army was out of the city to fight, Tai Shici was overjoyed, so he rode his horse and saw the Goguryeo general leading the army to escape.

Tai Shi Ci shouted: "Wu Na General, where to escape, dare to fight with a certain battle!" ”

The general of Goguryeo looked back and saw a Han general coming with a spear on horseback, followed by dozens of guards. I can't help but roll my eyes. He invited troops out of the city, but only destroyed a Linchong, and when he entered the city, he would inevitably be condemned by the king, if he killed this Han general, it would also be a great achievement!

Just do it, so the Goguryeo general turned his horse's head again and took his subordinates to kill Tai Shi Ci. He has already made plans to fight more and fight less, and solve it quickly.

Seeing that the Goguryeo general took him directly, Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but sneer, and also moved forward, and as soon as he closed, the big gun in Tai Shi Ci's hand knocked off the Goguryeo general's sword. Goguryeo almost knocked himself away, and when he looked at his hands again, the tiger's mouth burst and the blood flowed. The general of Goguryeo was so frightened that his soul was scared, and with a bang, he ran in the direction of Marudu Castle with his hands on his horse's neck.

Tai Shi Ci was about to chase, but the Goguryeo cavalry surrounded him, Tai Shi Ci raised his big spear and led his guards to kill the enemy. The personal guards of the generals of the Qingzhou Army were all personally selected and trained by themselves, and all of them had extraordinary skills. At this time, he followed the general Tai Shi Ci to rush into battle, invincible, and after a while, he killed the enemy with fear and coldness. As soon as the main general left, the enemy army lost their fighting spirit, and after holding on for a while, they dispersed in a hurry.

Tai Shi Ci killed and dispersed the enemy army, and then came to chase the fleeing Goguryeo general. Tai Shici's mount was a famous horse given by Liu Bei that year, with four hooves moving, running like the wind, and after a while, he caught up with the enemy general who was running wildly all the way. The Goguryeo general could hear the sound of hooves behind him, and when he looked back, the terrible Han general actually caught up. The general of Goguryeo looked sad and indignant, Lao Tzu fought with you, so he turned his horse's head and rushed towards Tai Shici.

Halfway through, I suddenly thought, it's over, how can I fight without weapons. Just now, the big knife was knocked away by Tai Shi Ci, and he didn't think about it for a while. Looking at his empty hands, the Goguryeo general rolled off his horse with a plop, threw himself to the ground, and shouted: "General, the villain is willing to surrender!" ”

The tip of Tai Shi Ci's spear was about to stab into the neck of the Goguryeo general, and suddenly saw the enemy general shouting surrender, Tai Shi Ci reluctantly put away the big gun and said, "Tie it up." ”

The general of Goguryeo is called Yuanliu, a nobleman in the country, and he has been a general for generations. After being captured, he was taken to Tai Shici's tent, and before the Han army could torture him, he poured beans into a bamboo tube and told all the situation in the city in one go. He is simply, anyway, he has become a prisoner, it is better to make some contributions, and if he breaks the city early, maybe he will have time to save the relatives in the city.

So he said: "General, the villain still has cronies in Xicheng, and the villain can let them open the city gate and surrender." ”

Tai Shi Ci had nothing to do, so he said: "If this is the case, count it as your great merit, and I will reward you at that time." "Then try it, whether it succeeds or not, your own army will be beneficial. It is done, go directly to the city, and if it is defeated, there will be a purge in the city, and the loss will be the strength of the enemy army.

At this time, the king of Goguryeo was no longer in the city, and he did not know that Yuanliu was not dead but was captured by the Han army. After seeing Yuanliu destroy a Linchong car and fall into the siege of the Han army, he returned to the palace. Having lost an elite team, he was in a bad mood, and he couldn't bear to see the tragic scene of Yuanliu dying in battle. Yes, in his heart, Yuanliu will definitely die.

As soon as the king of Goguryeo left, the ministers also scattered and returned home, what were they doing in the city, they were terrified, and they might be broken in the head by a stone bullet. Why don't you go home and discuss the way back?

On the battlefield, the shouts of killing were everywhere, and a rushing car had approached the city, and the Han army was entering the city in a fight. Under the west city, Yuanliu appeared, looked at the city and shouted. After a while, a small school appeared. Seeing Yuanliu, he was overjoyed, the general didn't die. That's great.

Yuanliu didn't say much, and shot a letter with an arrow. The Colonel picked it up and disappeared after a while. A Han military captain was on the side, and seeing that there was no movement for a long time, he put the knife on Yuanliu's neck and said, "Barbarian, you dare to lie to Lao Tzu, don't want to live anymore?" ”

Yuanliu was under the eaves, aggrieved like a kitten: "General wait, wait, wait." "But I scolded in my heart, a group of stupid turtles, Lao Tzu took you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, don't hurry up. If you don't open the door again, Lao Tzu's big head will move.

In the infinite anticipation of Yuanliu, the west gate finally opened. As soon as the city gate was opened, the Han army cheered and poured in. The defenders of Xicheng surrendered without a fight.

The king of Goguryeo was drinking sullen wine in the palace, and the guards came in a panic to report: "King, the western city is broken!" I couldn't help but be shocked, and the wine glass in my hand snapped and fell on the carpet.

The king of Goguryeo turned pale, his eyes were full of horror, and he muttered, "Why, why is the city broken?" ”
