Chapter Twenty-Four: The Eastern Expedition to Juli

The boy is alive, and his self-respect is rampant.

The soldiers rose and went east to Goguryeo.

Yanbei didn't have to go to the battlefield in person, but he wanted to go. It has nothing to do with martial arts, nothing to do with honor, just for peace of mind.

He fought countless wars, Guo Dian, Meng Yi, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Sheng, Zhang Yan, Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan...... Sometimes it was someone else who took the lead, and sometimes it was he who insisted on provoking disputes, but obviously not always he was so at ease.

If he is elected, he is more willing to follow in the footsteps of Duke Huan of Qi, respect the king, rely on the strength of the army to help the weak, and conquer Yidi to expand the territory of the Han people.

To be the overlord of the world, not to be called a king or an emperor, is not a blessing in the world.

It's just that stepping into troubled times, no one can help themselves.

"They think they can step into my land with impunity, plunder my people, kill my people, pat their butts and leave?" Outside Xiangping City, the army lined up, the people looked forward to the Han army going east, Yanbei mounted people stood up, and roared loudly: "Follow me to demolish the Susheng Bone City!" ”

The majesty is impressive, accompanied by the sound of drums, the soldiers of the second cavalry battalion hold high the five Changge, all the way to the east, accompanied by the south wind, the Changge copper is tied with five feet of red satin and dragged in the wind. The galloping Wuhuan warriors whistled, and the fierce scout sergeants took the lead...... This is a Youdong army with a very different temperament from the Han army.

There was a strict military formation of the Han army, and the amplitude of the cavalry's horse's hooves was almost the same; But there is also the wild spirit of the nomadic warriors who are stuffed with black and black circles; And in the end, this army in Yanbei blended two different cultures into one.

Just before, they sacrificed to the heavens, and the blood of pigs and sheep sought the blessing of Taiyi on the case...... The rest of the road is up to them.

Yanbei is surrounded by the most elite second cavalry battalion and scout battalion in Liaodong except for the Yanzhao warriors, with a total of more than 10,000 soldiers in 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry, most of this army is a horse army, and the battalions are only less than 3,000 foot soldiers, which seems to be completely unable to bear the heavy task of attacking the city.

That's because the Koyi and Tianchou tribes had already crossed the Daliang River, and at this time they had already marched to the border, as the vanguard of the Goguryeo border.

In the middle of the front army and the rear army, tens of thousands of people and Hanoi escorted grain and grass materials as baggage, which were continuously transported to Goguryeo. 250,000 stone of military rations to meet the needs of the former army besieging the city; Thousands of ring knives, 30,000 spears, 8,000 leather armor, 3,000 crossbows, and hundreds of thousands of arrows were used as the depletion armaments for the damaged replacement of the Koji Division; There are 30 large and small stone throwing cars, 20 Wuhan Iron and Steel crossbows, hundreds of ladders, and even boulders and fire oil that are reprinted on the girder water boat.

Such a heavy war preparation could sweep Youyan eight hundred years ago, but in the Han Dynasty eight hundred years later...... It does not give Yanbei soldiers the confidence to come to the domestic city.

Crossing the border for 200 miles, the city of Susheng Bone is the second male city in the Goguryeo Kingdom. In the first Han Dynasty Yuan Emperor rebelled Goguryeo Marquis Zhumeng established the first Goguryeo capital city when the founding of the country, the Dongyi powerful country Goguryeo set the capital in this land for 40 years, and then moved to the domestic city until the dictatorship of Wang Mang, and the Susheng Bone City became the border fortress giant city of Goguryeo facing the Han Dynasty in the west, led by Wang Qi, and confronted at the border.

Yan Bei had long wanted to lead his troops to fight under the Susheng Bone City!

How does it feel to see a city that is more than 200 years old destroyed?

He had long wanted to know!

And this battle was not postponed because Yanbei postponed the march.

The war between Han and Goguryeo has been going on.

……

Wu Shuang died, his wound was poisonous into his body, he continued to be feverish, delirious and even foaming at the mouth, and he died after only ten days.

Pan Ling tried to kidnap him back to a few traveling doctors in Goguryeo Township, but few doctors could cure this disease even in the Han Dynasty...... This anger was transferred by Pan Ling to the Goguryeo people living on the border. Taking the opportunity of the battle between Goguryeo and Liaodong County, his more than 1,000 soldiers bypassed the border, entered Goguryeo, and wantonly burned, looted, and destroyed countless villages along the way.

In addition to the Goguryeo people in the surrounding villages, the logistics and military rations along the way are also in Pan Ling's pocket. Although Pan Ling did not dare to rob the warships on land and water, the rations escorted by the people on the land, whether or not they were protected by sergeants, could not escape Pan Ling's poisonous hands.

"Route? Where did the rout come from? ”

Paoze, who has always supported each other, died of illness and failed to die on the battlefield, which really made Pan Ling sad for a while, but it was only for a while. Being on the border of the enemy, even he doesn't know if he can survive tomorrow, so how can he be sad for the death of Paoze?

In just over 30 days since he was defeated on the border and into the deep forest, he personally watched more than half of the 3,000 robes killed and wounded, and the attack on the border line against the Goguryeo people, for the sake of General Koji's bullshit 'fight and retreat', he and Wu Shuang lost more than 600 brothers; in several encounters with the Goguryeo pursuing army in the dense forest, another 200 were lost; from the Han land to Goguryeo, the dense forest was deep and the wounded could not carry it, and more than 400 people were wounded; and in the end, only more than 1,800 people were able to follow him to see the Goguryeo villages.

Pain, sickness, fear and horror have always tormented this lonely army.

And now, Pan Ling has more than 3,000 subordinates, which is the sum of all the bandits and bandits in Liaodong County that he once had!

In the process of plundering the people of Goguryeo and ambushing the grain route of Goguryeo, there were captives, Han Chinese who stayed in the enemy territory, and some slaves and criminals of Goguryeo...... All of them were absorbed into his army by Pan Ling, forming an army of nearly half slaves.

Those who did not want to join him were all hacked to death, and those who were willing to join him became people who carried supplies, relieving the burden of nearly 2,000 Han warriors.

"Captain, near the border of the first line of Daliangshui, there are scattered Goguryeo defeated troops on our side...... Dusty, he should have been defeated by the general! ”

Listening to the news brought by his subordinate military marquis, Pan Ling frowned and sat on the stone to sharpen his curled ring knife, and asked casually, "How many?" Armor, horses, bows and crossbows. ”

Before that, he didn't know if he would be able to return to Han alive, nor if the high-ranking officials and nobles in Yanbei, Luyi, and Fuzhu counties could defeat the enemy army of Goguryeo...... So when he crossed the border, he asked his subordinates to pay more attention, and buried all the Zhang Banner negative feathers that could explain the identity of their Han army in the dense forest.

He prayed sincerely for Yanbei, hoping that the god Taiyi would be on their side and bless Liaodong with victory. But on the other hand, Pan Ling also left a way out for himself, and once Liaodong County was defeated by the Goguryeo, they would forget the identity of the Han army and stay in this land as bandits.

Later, the Han Chinese who were captured by Goguryeo and stayed in neighboring countries were added to the army, making the subordinates huge, and the original official position seemed to be no longer able to command such a large number of subordinates.

He likes the title of captain, didn't General Yan also be a captain before, and he was a general now...... He also wanted to be a general.

"It's all a small army of routs, a dozen, dozens of them, looking like starving ghosts reincarnated, rummaging through the villages we have robbed...... However, their armor is very neat, and they should have collapsed without daring to fight the general. "This military marquis, yes, is now a military Sima, named Tuoba Qi, with Xianbei blood, but since his ancestors have been begging for a life in Liaodong and Liaodong since his ancestors, he is considered a Han person, and he is also Pan Ling's old department in his early years, with a steamed cake face, a strong physique and aggressive nature, holding his fists and saying: "We estimate that they will withdraw more later, and the general is victorious!" ”

"That's it, what are you waiting for, let Wu Yin lead someone to kill them, and grab all the useful things in the armor!" Pan Ling tilted his head, spat on the knife, then sharpened it hard, looked up at Tuoba and said, "The general told me that a man is alive, and he must fight for it with both hands if he wants something...... You go and tell Wu Yin that as long as his hand holds the knife for me, Lao Tzu can still give him what he wants, regardless of whether he is Han or Goguryeo! ”

Wu Yin is the current general of Pan Ling's subordinates, the Goguryeo slaves who surrendered some time ago, strong and powerful, the long knife dance can not be stopped by five or six people, and he has the appearance of a brave general, Pan Ling let him lead a song of military marquis, and most of his subordinates are Goguryeo slaves and soldiers.

However, Pan Ling was also concerned about the loyalty of the Goguryeo people, so he planned to let him rob and kill those Goguryeo routs.

As for the words he wanted Tuoba to tell Wu Yin, Pan Ling couldn't say it himself, it was all what Yanbei said to him in the past.

After Tuoba left, Pan Ling stood up from the stone, stuffed the mottled ring knife he had used for a long time back into the sheath, and squinted his eyes to look down the mountain...... The view here is wide, and the dense forest is hidden from the bottom of the mountain around the rugged mountain road. Because of this, after plundering dozens of villages on the border, Pan Ling sent people to cut wood here, barely clearing out a cottage that could hide soldiers.

At the very edge of the cottage against the boulder, there is a watchtower that leaves out, and you can see the outline of the official road in the distance below the mountain, whether it is from the border to this side or the road to the city of Susheng bones, you can see a rough idea. Although a few pedestrians still can't see clearly, if it is a large group of soldiers and horses, they can know in advance.

"I don't know, how long will we have to wait...... General, you must call here! ”

Seeing that there was no one around, Pan Ling showed a bitter look, although there are now tens of thousands of stones, grains and grass hidden in the cottage, enough for his subordinates to eat for several months, but he is extremely looking forward to being able to get in touch with Liaodong County, if he can return to the Liaodong Army, even if he is still only a few subordinates, he is willing!

There are more than 800 Goguryeo people in the army, and those Han people can't say that they are absolutely with him.

Pan Ling knelt on the boulder and bowed to the west...... General Yan, come on!
