Chapter 65 Dongdu urgently reported

In the middle of the autumn in Liaodong, you can already feel the smell of autumn. Although the sun during the day is still as hot as midsummer, when the sun slowly reaches the west and is blocked by Shanyin. The mountain wind in the forest blows, the hot air during the day is quickly blown away. Although it is still bright, you can already feel some chills.

The sky in the west was full of red, as red as blood. With the sunset in the west, a knight rode a fast horse and came from the west with a serious expression. His clothes were already wet with sweat, and white foam had already dripped from his mouth.

This was a messenger, a messenger who was 800 miles away. He came from Luoyang and had several fast horses killed along the way. Originally, there were three of them, but in the end, two fell down in Zhuojun. He was the last one. Although he felt extremely tired and even felt like he wanted to fall to the ground, he knew clearly how important the letters on his back were.

He gritted his teeth over and over again and told himself that if he persisted for a while, he would arrive in a while. He climbed over a mountain pass again. He could no longer remember which mountain he had crossed. He only remembered that there were mountains everywhere in Liaodong, except for the mountains.

The mountain passes after mountain have even made him a little desperate. He has already felt that the fast horses under his crotch are not going to work. Although the horses under his seat are the best choices, and in order to move forward quickly, he did not bring any extra items, but after running at such a long speed, he knew that the horse was finally going to work.

It was almost dark. If the horse could not reach the camp, he would not know if he could walk out in the deep mountains when the horse fell. Even if he could avoid the beasts and go out, it might be too late to report by then.

He climbed over a mountain pass and suddenly shot a feather arrow from the woods on both sides. The arrow did not shoot directly from him, but shot at the point in front of him. The knight tightly pulled the horse. The horse had already used too much force, but now it was just running with the last bit of instinct. At this time, the knight finally couldn't control it anymore. With a neighing sound, the front hooves raised high.

When the knight heard the sound, he knew that the horse was not good enough. He quickly picked the horse and kicked it off. As soon as he rolled down next to the horse, the horse finally stopped supporting it. He fell to the ground with a wailing cry, his mouth full of foam. The knight glanced at the horse and was about to get up from the ground.

A spear was placed on his neck, and the cold spear tip made him look tight. Before he could speak, a cavalry dressed in Sui army riding on a horse said, "Who are you?" The knight was a Sui army and was ordered to go out to the west of the Liaodong camp to guard the cavalry. Although the west was the Great Sui camp, there was a Goguryeo people on the battlefield who had to take a detour. But unexpectedly, it was almost a month since he was here, and he usually saw some brigades of civilians. This evening, he saw a fast cavalry struggling to go on a desperate manner, so he thought about a routine check.

When the messenger on the ground saw the Sui army blocking the road, he hurriedly asked loudly, "Are you Sui army?"

The team was riding on the horse and jumped off the horse. After a few glances at the man who looked tired in front of him, he saw him wearing the Sui army uniform and spoke authentic Central Plains words. He took out the military card and lit it in front of him, "Our cavalry in Liaodong camp is responsible for the vigilance here. What is this for?"

The messenger on the ground looked at the military card carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with it. He immediately said, "I am a messenger from the Dongdu. I have eight hundred miles of urgent reports and I want to report to Your Majesty immediately. Now my horse is dead. Recruit your war horses. Lead me in front."

The team was shocked when they heard that it was the 800-li emergency report from Dongdu. It was generally impossible to send these 800-li emergency reports unless the most important thing was required. These messengers who sent 800-li emergency reports also had great temporary power. If they could not dodge on the road, it would not only be okay if they were hit and killed, but the person who was hit and killed would also be held accountable. Even now, it would be normal to requisition his war horse.

The team was busy ordering their subordinates to retreat and picking a pot of water from the horse, "You drink a little water first, and I will send two people to escort you to meet Your Majesty immediately. We have a military order here to guard us, and we cannot go back to the camp. But don't worry, there are only a few dozen miles from the camp here, and there will be many large army patrols and cavalry along the way, and you will not encounter any trouble. With the two people I sent to you, you can save interrogation along the way."

After the messenger drank the water, the team there had already prepared three horses for them, and two cavalrymen escorted him over. The horse turned over and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your help. If it weren't for your brother's help, I would have missed this job today, and I won't be assured at that time. Brother is a life-saving kindness to me, and I will never thank you for your great kindness. I will remember it in my heart. Wang Gui, don't know the name of my brother?"

"This is nothing, it should be. I'll see you again if you have the chance to be together in the future."

With the war horses given by Duan Zhixin and the escort of two cavalrymen, although he encountered many cavalry along the way, it passed without much effort. When the moon rose, he finally arrived at the Liaodong camp.

At this time, there was still fierce battle under the city of Liaodong. The Sui army had successfully occupied a wall on the city of Liaodong. Although the Liao people rushed to counterattack many times afterwards, the Sui army, which had been continuously joining the city, repelled the enemy's counterattack again and again. They even continued to use that section of the city wall as a foothold and began to rush to both sides. As long as the number of people who came up to the city wall reached a certain number, the Sui army could drive the Goguryeo people down the city wall in one fell swoop.

Although Liaodong City has two layers inside and outside, the defense of the inner city is simply not comparable to that of the outer city. The inner city is not only small, but also the walls are not as high and strong as the outer city. As long as you take down the outer city, you will take down the entire Liaodong City, it will be like the back palm observation pattern.

The Sui army understood this truth, so the Sui army was extremely excited, so the soldiers seemed to have seen the reward after the city was broken. They all advanced to both sides as if they were desperate.

Gao Jianwu also understood the situation at this time. In order to win the Liaodong City, the Goguryeo Dynasty spent more than two hundred years to seize the city. After seizing this city, the Goguryeo people spent another two hundred years to consolidate the city. This Goguryeo City can be said to be the number one fortress in the Far East. It is a veritable military fortress, and its sturdiness far surpasses that of the capital of Goguryeo Pyongyang City.

However, many defenses of Liaodong City are located in the outer city. If the outer periphery is broken, the inner city will definitely not be able to defend for long. Gao Jianwu looked up at the sky. A new moon had appeared in the sky. As long as they persist for a while, they could fight for a bloody road at night and return to Pyongyang.

"I am the general order and ordered all three thousand reserve troops to be dispatched to drive the Sui army on the city wall. In addition, when I go to the city to pass the order, it means that the Sui army has attacked the city wall and let the men, women, young and old in the city go to the city to participate in the defense. Tell them that Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, has issued a city massacre order. As long as Liaodong is broken, no 200,000 military and civilian generals in Liaodong City can escape. As long as they help to defend today, the general Yizhi Wende will lead 100,000 troops to arrive tomorrow, and he will definitely be able to repel the Sui army at that time. Go quickly!"

Since he had made up his mind to retreat, the people of Liaodong City would not have a good result if they stayed in the city. Maybe they would be captured by the Sui people and become slaves. Instead of letting the Sui people abducted and increased the strength of the Sui people, he might as well let them die with the city. Even if they killed one more Sui army, they could reduce the strength of their opponents for Goguryeo.

The last reserve team of 3,000 went to the city and immediately suppressed the offensive on the Sui army's city. With the addition of these new forces, the Sui army even began to compress the Sui army back and forth. The two sides went back and forth, and launched a cruel battle on the city wall. The place above the city wall was only so big that no matter how many people were, they could not set up a formation, and they could only fight completely together.

For both sides, for each fall, someone could make up for it immediately. After Gao Jianwu's mobilization, nearly 50,000 civilians with weapons were added to the four city walls of Liaodong. Although they were no longer strong, they could play a lot of roles in this melee.

The Sui army had more follow-up troops. The city walls occupied by the Sui army were lined up with ladders, and the elite soldiers climbed up like ants. If the city was not too small and blocked by the Goguryeo people on both sides, the Sui army would have already captured the city. Although the Sui army is now crowded, it is squeezed on the city wall and can only advance step by step. The Sui army, which was squeezed behind, has already begun to prepare to pull the ladders up the city, and put the ladders directly on the city, and send the soldiers squeezed on the city to the city directly into the city.

In this way, even if the people in the entire Liaodong City use their flesh and blood to block the city wall, as long as the Sui army entering the city gathers a certain number, they can directly kill the city gate. As long as the city gate is opened, hundreds of thousands of Sui army enter the city, no matter how many people you have, it will be just a meal.

Gao Jianwu was like a desperate gambler at this time, staring with blood-red eyes, looking at the more and more Sui troops on the city. He looked at the Sui troops on the city wall, and at the moon that was still rising just now. He had never felt that the moon had risen so slowly as he is today. The three thousand reserve teams were already blocked, but it only took a short time to finish tea.

"Prince, it's not good. The Sui army used a ladder to jump directly into the city from the city wall." A Goguryeo soldier covered in blood rushed to Gao Jianwu and said.

Gao Jianwu was shocked. If the Sui army was allowed to rush into the city, then how could he stop him now if he had no soldiers? "You, immediately bring my guards to block them, and then recruit the people from the city, and ask them to bring oil and firewood from their homes, and burn the Sui army who entered the city to me directly."
