c_t; Under the attack of the Goguryeo infantry, the north end of the pontoon bridge has been lost, and the Goguryeo Sixth Route Army has successfully boarded the north end of the pontoon bridge, and attacked and killed step by step in the direction of the south bank, however, due to the full resistance of the Wofu army, the Goguryeo army has to pay a lot of price for every step forward, and the speed of advance is very slow.

While the Wofu army was resisting the Goguryeo army with all its might, the elite of the 500 Jin army had already launched operations in three different positions.
In the northwest and northeast directions of Maruto Castle, a huge flame suddenly ignited, and the flame of the great flame illuminated the entire sky.
At this time, although it was already late at night, Gao Zhao was very concerned about the battle ahead, so he never rested, and he wanted to get the news of the victory of the Goguryeo army as soon as possible.
"What's going on in the northwest vs. northeast direction? Why is there such a big fire? In the palace of Marudu City, Gao Zhao, who was waiting for the good news ahead, saw the huge flames in the distance and frowned and asked.
The strategist beside him naturally didn't understand what was happening, so he didn't know how to answer for a while, and looked in the direction of the fire in confusion.
"King, the location where the fire was lit should not be far from the pill, at most three or five miles away, you can send two groups of people to investigate." One of the strategists whispered.
"My lord, in the humble opinion of my subordinates, this fire is most likely a ghost carried out by enemy scouts, in order to distract our army, so you can ignore it completely." Another advisor objected.
Gao Zhao looked in the direction of the fire, thought for a moment, looked at the two guards and colonels, and ordered: "The two of you each lead a hundred soldiers and horses to the place where the fire is burning. If an enemy scout causes trouble, capture it immediately. ”
"Yes, my lord." The two guards commanded loudly, and immediately led a hundred cavalry under their command, running to the northeast and northwest respectively.
In the great tent of the noble Chinese army of the Goguryeo general. Gao Shang was listening to the report of his subordinates, and he was very satisfied with the fact that his army had beaten the Wofu army to the point of urine, and according to this way of playing, the Wofu army would eventually be annihilated by the soldiers and horses under his command.
"General, the Vo Fu army is already showing a tendency to rout. There was nothing major happening around, so it was better for our five thousand soldiers and horses to kill them, so that we could definitely defeat the Wofu army more quickly and wipe out all these traitors. A general said eagerly.
At this time. The noble mood was very pleasant, he felt that he was not far from victory, and there was nothing new around him, for this reason, he completely relaxed his vigilance, and said with a straight face: "Since the generals are sincere for their meritorious service, the general will give you a chance, except for the general's 1,000 guards to stay." The remaining 4,000 soldiers and horses immediately reinforced the front, and all the ships were pulled out. You attack south by boat. ”
"Yes, General." When all the generals heard this, they all showed very excited expressions and immediately went to prepare.
Soon, 4,000 Goguryeo soldiers and horses reinforced the north bank of the pontoon bridge and put a large number of ships into the Mazi water. Four thousand soldiers rode in these ships in the direction of the opposite shore.
These boats were all fishing boats on both sides of the Mazi River, and all of them were seized by the Goguryeo army before the war and hidden in a hidden location on the north shore. At this time, it was used by these 4,000 soldiers. This invisibly put great pressure on the Wofu army defending the pontoon bridge.
At this time, the pressure on the Wofu army defending the pontoon bridge had to guard against the Goguryeo elite infantry attacking frontally, and at the same time, the Goguryeo crossbowmen on the fishing boats on both sides had increased the pressure several times, and the speed of defeat and retreat was significantly accelerated.
"King, we may not be able to stand it, what should we do?" One of the generals under the command of King Wofu said anxiously.
Hearing this, King Wofu looked up at the firelight in the distance, and said loudly: "Soldiers, the city of Marudu has been broken by the Jin army, you see, that is the fire of the burning city." After speaking, he pointed to the half of the sky that lit up in the distance.
When the soldiers heard this, they all seemed very excited, and the city of Marudu was broken by the Jin army, which is great news! This indicates that behind the Goguryeo army, the Jin army will soon appear, and the pressure they are under will soon be completely relieved.
"Marudu Castle has been breached, Marudu Castle has been breached." The soldiers shouted loudly as they fought.
When the Goguryeo soldiers heard this, they habitually looked in the direction of the capital city, and suddenly, they did find that there was a very large light in the direction of the city of the capital, at night, this light was not a fire, what else could it be, the morale of the Goguryeo soldiers declined for this, and they were a little absent-minded, after all, if the capital was broken and burned by the Jin army, Goguryeo would be completely finished.
"General, the city of Marudu has been broken by the Jin army." A small colonel, looking at a general, said anxiously.
At this time, many soldiers had the idea of retreating, and he was naturally very anxious, and he was not worried about the situation in Marudu City.
When the general heard this, he was furious, and he killed the junior colonel with a knife in his hand, and shouted: "Warriors, the enemy army is all on the south bank, and the city of Marudu is impregnable, and it is impossible to break through. ”
Seeing this, the Goguryeo soldiers were too frightened to retreat, and plucked up the courage to continue the attack on the Wofu army, but the intensity of the attack was significantly weakened, and the situation in Marudu Castle plagued them like a demon, leaving them with a great burden in their hearts, so that they could not rush forward with all their strength.
Outside the big tent of the Goguryeo Chinese army on the north bank of Mazishui, the Goguryeo general Gao Shang also discovered the fire burning in the direction of Marudu Castle, and from his point of view, it seemed that the fire was coming from Marudu Castle itself, not from the northeast and northwest, which made his heart very anxious.
How could Maruto Castle catch fire? Could it be that some common people accidentally set the house on fire, which caused a fire and slandered the nobles.
"General, the sudden fire in Marudu City is very strange!" A subordinate next to Gao Shang said.
"What do you think?" Gao Shang asked.
The subordinate thought for a moment and said softly: "General, could this be a ghost made by the enemy." ”
Gao Shang frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "What you said is good, it is very possible!" At the moment, the main forces of the enemy army are all under our control. It is impossible for a large number of enemy troops to be in the direction of Marudu City, and our army has 5,000 soldiers and horses defending the city, so the direction of Marudu City should be safe, and we don't have to worry too much about it. After speaking, he turned his gaze to the direction of Ma Zishui.
There is a pontoon bridge in the most upstream of the Mazi Water. It was built by the soldiers of the Jin army, and they had already braved the arrows of the Goguryeo soldiers on the opposite bank, advanced thirty steps with difficulty, and continued to advance, but the further they advanced, the more difficult it became. The rain of arrows fired by the Goguryeo soldiers was so dense that they would pay the price of casualties if they did not take a single step, so they stopped building pontoon bridges and fired at the Goguryeo soldiers on the opposite bank under the cover of shields.
The bows and crossbows of the Jin army were more advanced. The range was also longer, so it still had a considerable advantage, and the Goguryeo soldiers on the opposite bank suffered a lot of casualties under the pressure of the Jin army's bows and crossbows, and were on the defensive.
At the moment when the two sides were firing with bows and crossbows, the elite of the 300 Jin army ambushed on the north bank suddenly killed from behind the 500 Goguryeo soldiers and horses, and launched a fierce offensive.
"Soldiers. Kill! The young general of the Jin army shouted loudly and led the three hundred elites under his command to kill the Goguryeo soldiers and horses on the shore.
The Goguryeo soldiers were going all out to shoot crossbows with the Jin army on the pontoon bridge. He didn't expect that a Jin army of three hundred people would suddenly rush out from behind, and he was suddenly startled, and immediately turned around in a panic to defend against the enemy.
The 300 elites of the Jin army suddenly attacked, but the Goguryeo soldiers and horses were not well prepared, and besides, they had to guard against the Jin army on the pontoon bridge. For this reason, the two sides have just been fighting. Goguryeo was defeated, but. With the advantage of troops, Goguryeo's soldiers and horses can barely support it.
"Marudu City has been broken by our army, so you will surrender as soon as possible." The young general of the Jin army scolded loudly.
"The pills have been broken, so you will wait for the early fall." The soldiers of the Jin army fought and launched a psychological offensive at the same time.
When the Goguryeo soldiers heard this, they subconsciously looked in the direction of the Marudu City, and sure enough, they saw a huge light, and the Jin soldiers in front of them were indeed killed from the north.
......Seeing that the Goguryeo soldiers had begun to waver, the young general of the Jin army shouted loudly, led the elite soldiers and horses under his command, and launched a more fierce attack.
The morale of the Goguryeo army was already weakened, and at this time it was impossible to organize effective resistance, so in order to save their lives, they had to abandon their positions and flee in the direction of the big camp.
The young general of the Jin army led the soldiers under his command to pursue for a period of time, killing half of the 500 Goguryeo soldiers and horses, and then continued to run towards the north bank of the pontoon bridge built by the soldiers and horses of the three Koreans, and continued to use mental tactics and fierce attacks to defeat the Goguryeo army guarding the north bank, so that the three Korean soldiers and horses could continue to build the pontoon bridge.
Soon, several pontoon bridges between the Jin army and the Sanhan soldiers and horses were all built, and the soldiers responsible for building the pontoon bridges immediately returned to the south bank, reported to their respective generals, and finally reported to Wang Meng's Chinese army tent.
"Report, general, the Wofu army is unable to resist the Goguryeo army, and it has been defeated all the way, and now, it is less than a stone's throw away from the south bank, and soon, the Goguryeo army will rush into the south bank, the general should prepare earlier!" Just as the pontoon bridge was just completed, there was news that the soldiers and horses of Wofu could not stop the soldiers and horses of Goguryeo.
When Wang Meng heard this, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he said, "The Goguryeo people are still one step slower!" After the order was given, all the soldiers immediately mounted their horses and prepared to cross the pontoon bridge and launch an attack on the Goguryeo soldiers and horses on the north bank. ”
"Yes, General." A colonel went to deliver the order.
Soon, 2,000 cavalry under Wang Meng's command and 5,000 soldiers and horses of Sanhan galloped across the pontoon bridge upstream and quickly arrived at the north bank of Mazishui.
By the time they reached the north shore of the Mazi River, the Wofu army had completely collapsed and could no longer hold the pontoon bridge anyway.
"Great King, Goguryeo's offensive is still fierce, and we are about to lose it." A subordinate general looked at King Wofu and said helplessly.
At this time, nearly half of the soldiers and horses of Wofu had fled, and the number of remaining soldiers and horses was limited, and the Goguryeo army was relatively elite, so it would be a ghost to be able to block the Goguryeo army.
King Wofu sighed and said, "Our army has been holding out for more than an hour, the task has been completed, retreat, abandon the big camp, and retreat to the mountains." After saying that, he jumped on the war horse that his soldiers had already prepared, and retreated to the mountains due south.
When all the Wolffu soldiers heard the order, they immediately abandoned the pontoon bridge they were holding onto, and all of them followed behind the Wolffu king, and fled due south.
After a bloody battle, the Goguryeo army finally killed the land on the south bank, but the Goguryeo army that killed the south bank did not rush to chase and kill the remnants of the Wo Fu, but ran with all their strength in the direction of the brightly lit camps, where there were all kinds of supplies they were interested in.
Several Goguryeo generals led their personal guards and quickly rushed to the direction of the Jin army's camp, where they wanted to capture Wang Meng alive and present it to Gao Zhao, the king of Goguryeo.
Soon, several Goguryeo generals entered Wang Meng's Chinese army tent, but it was a pity that Wang Meng's Chinese army tent did not contain anyone, only some unimportant items, and a pair of undried paper.
"General, they just left, and their handwriting hasn't dried yet." A soldier picked up the paper and placed it in front of the general's eyes.
"The pills will be broken, so you can do it yourself." When several Goguryeo generals saw this, they were all taken aback.
Obviously, this sentence shows that Wang Meng knew that they would enter the big tent of the Chinese army, and wrote this sentence in advance, and the meaning of this sentence is that the city of Marudu is about to be breached, showing Wang Meng's confidence in victory.
"Arrogant, General Jin is really arrogant, hum ......" a Goguryeo general roared angrily.
Another general frowned and said, "The chief general of the Jin army is really unfathomable!" It was terrible to have guessed that we would be here. After speaking, his eyes were full of horror.
"It's not good, the main force of the Jin army must have all run to the north shore, we were fooled." A Goguryeo general said anxiously.
"Get out of here, we're going to get out of here at once and get back to the North Shore quickly." A Goguryeo general said as he began to walk out of Wang Meng's tent of the Chinese army.
However, it was already a little late for them to leave, and when several Goguryeo generals walked out of the tent of Wang Mengzhong's army, the camp of the Jin army's Sanhan Wofu was all in flames, and the Goguryeo soldiers and horses who rushed into the camp to rob the property were devoured, and a large number of soldiers surrounded by flames rolled on the ground in pain, trying to get rid of the scorching fire, but to no avail, they struggled for a while, and then they remained motionless.
"It's over, the 20,000 army is all over." Several Goguryeo generals, looking at everything in front of them, were desperate to the extreme
