King Ma Yu looked at the letters sent by Gongsun Xiu with a gloomy expression, and didn't know what to do for a moment.

The letter stated that Yan State had no intention of attacking Fuyu, and now he had taken down Heshenggu City, and the Wandu City was just around the corner.

How could he not understand Gongsun Xiu’s threats in public and secret ways? There were only two ways to go before him, either obediently holding on to the army or destroying the country together.

King Ma Yu was very angry, but he had no choice but to do anything. The Yan army had already captured Heshenggu City, and the Maruno City was in danger and would probably be destroyed. If he did not take the team in advance, the situation would be very critical.

Who should I help?

Niu Jia said, "The king, according to the ministers, the situation is still unclear. Even if Fuyu does not move his troops, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not attack our country after Yan destroyed Goguryeo."

Ma Yu smiled bitterly and said, "This is exactly what I worry about."

Maga had the same view on this and frowned and said, "Now is the difficult point. If the King of Yan wants to successfully destroy Goguryeo, unless the king does not send troops, he will let it die. But in this way, if the King of Dongchuan dies, the east of Liaodong will be Fuyu and Xianbei still exist, and they will be defeated one by one, which is extremely dangerous. In terms of the strength of a country alone, we are not opponents of Yan."

How could Ma Yu not know the truth that the lips were dead and the teeth were cold, but the King of Dongchuan was in danger and could be destroyed at any time when the troops were at the city. At this time, Gongsun Xiu came to show his kindness. If he was not good at taking advantage of the situation, I am afraid that the second one would be Fuyu's turn. He frowned and said, "After all, the country is weak and cannot be defeated. It is too early to help the King of Dongchuan now. Although the general under the King of Yan's tent has broken through Hesheng Gucheng, there are only a few thousand soldiers and may not be able to gain a foothold. The King of Dongchuan has sent Gao Yong to the King of Gucheng, and the battle may change."

This is the benefit of playing cards late. The two countries are hard to distinguish and their own side has become a key step, because joining either side will turn into a situation of two against one, and the situation will be reversed at any time.

Ma Jia couldn't help but speak in a speech, thinking that the king was indecisive and would suffer the chaos. Everything was better. King Yan and King Dongchuan were both people who were not easy to offend. He thought about it and proposed a compromise plan and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's better to compromise. If Gongsun Xiuzhen can gain a foothold, he will occupy Heshenggu City, and it will be a matter of time before and after, and the King Dongchuan faces a situation where he will die if he cannot surrender."

King Ma Yu nodded, "You continue to say."

Ma Jia said: "It is better to send the king of Yan to propose marriage last year and marry the daughter of the royal family to the king of Yan to make a difference. Both countries have become in-laws and cannot continue to fight in terms of emotion or reason, which also shows the king's sincerity. The breakup last year should be restored."

King Ma Yu couldn't help but nod. If he had accepted the deportation of the princess to Yan State last year, he might not have been caught in it. Even if Fuyu State cannot dominate one side, he can still be an affiliate of Yan State and will not become an enemy who will never die. He thought about it carefully and said, "But who will win and who will lose now is still unknown."

Ma Jia said: "The king can first grant him ambiguous words to the king of Yan. If the king of Yan can firmly sit in Heshenggu City, it will be not far away to destroy the Goguryeo royal family. At that time, the king can condemn the daughter of the royal family to marry the king of Yan, which is considered as a marriage alliance."

King Ma Yu knew that this was a last resort and he had no choice. If King Dongchuan was really destroyed, Fuyu Kingdom would be destroyed in addition to marriage. He smiled bitterly and nodded: "I probably should know what to do."

——

When Gao Yong arrived at Heshenggu City, his face was as gloomy as water, and the flag of the Yan army was already inserted at the top of the city. He was very upset when he saw that he was very upset.

Deng Ai had already stood on the wall, looking at Gao Yong below with a calm expression, and smiled: "You are Gao Yong?"

Gao Yong snorted and said disdainfully: "Yes, are you Deng Ai?"

Deng Ai said: "You know my name, and it's so honor."

Gao Yong sneered and said mercilessly: "You are just a surrender of Yan State. Now that you have become a general of Yan State, you are ridiculous. What are the faces of those who are betrayal of the Lord? "

Deng Zhong's face changed color only when he heard it and tried to retort. Deng Ai, who was beside him, shook his head calmly and said to his son: "For the general, you must be calm and you can't even bear such a small matter. How can you achieve great things?"

Speaking of this, his eyes turned to Gao Yong under the city and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you should remember this truth. I hope you can say this in a few days."

Gao Yong was thinking about something, thinking that in a few days, Gongsun Xiu's army arrived, and I had already destroyed you here, so he immediately sneered: "A tough guy, siege the city!"

As soon as he said this, the archers spread out from all directions and shot arrows at the city. At his command, hundreds of feathered arrows drew beautiful arcs in the air at an angle of forty-five degrees, and the overwhelming feathered arrows landed on the city.

Deng Ai was unmoved. The seven or eight personal soldiers beside him raised their shields to protect him, thinking secretly: "At this level, I want to attack the city?"

The Yan army immediately lined up, lined up and shot arrows at the city. After all, they were condescending, and the advantages of archers were more obvious, shooting further and making stronger lethality.

The crossbows of both sides are basically a war of attrition, and the number of people is a matter of the number of people. As a semi-agricultural and semi-animalized nation, Goguryeo is best at riding and shooting. Among the 10,000 troops it carries, there are actually 6,000 archers.

There were only 4,000 soldiers on the Yan army, and the position at which the city was able to be placed was limited. In terms of the number of bows and arrows, they naturally could not match the Goguryeo army under the city.

Deng Ai frowned and said, "Longxiong rides on."

Deng Zhong was stunned: "Go out of the city to fight?"

Deng Ai turned around and glared at him, saying angrily: "Longxiang cavalry with heavy armor, stand on the top of the city to shoot arrows."

He then realized that he immediately ordered Longxiong to go out of the line, put on heavy armor, and carry a bow and crossbow to shoot arrows under the city.

Gao Yong was stunned and said strangely: "What's going on?"

Looking into the distance, I saw that the archers on the top of the city were all paired with heavy armor, like iron men, covered with iron armor all over their bodies, and even their faces were covered with iron masks, only two eye sockets and jaws were exposed, which looked extremely cunning.

The bow and arrow sounded and shot directly on these iron armored soldiers, and they could not penetrate them at all. This made Gao Yong and Kemo look at each other and feel incredible.

"The Yan thief is so rich that even the archers are equipped with such perfect iron armor?"

Gao Yong showed surprise. In his opinion, such a pair of iron armor costs at least tens of thousands of yuan. The workmanship looks very fine. Under the shooting of feather arrows as dense as rain, it jingled and made a few sparks occasionally. Except for the shallow marks on the surface of the armor, it did not cause any damage.

"Strange thing, except for the centurion or above, there are all iron armors in our entire army, all the rest are front breastplates, half-body armor, leather armor. There are at least five hundred iron armor soldiers on Yanzhe City, which is actually more iron armor soldiers than the entire army."

Ke Mo was also shocked by this. The most lacking in the army is armor, with limited distribution. Except for the centurion commanding the battle below, there is almost no armor left. After all, this thing tests the strength of all aspects. The first is national strength and the second is technical technology, which cannot be easily produced.

Deng Zhong in the city was not easy. Although the Longxiong cavalry he led was not afraid of crossbow arrows, firing bows and arrows was a physically exhausting thing. Ordinary people could only shoot seven or eight times in a row, while top archers could shoot fifteen times in a row. However, the Longxiong cavalry had heavy armor on his body, and his arms were so heavy that they could not even lift them. After shooting ten arrows, they could not even lift their arms.

Deng Zhong immediately took the turn, allowing the Longxiong Cavalry, who was so tired that he couldn't lift his arms, quickly retreated to the rear, replaced the heavy armor to another physically energetic Yan army, and then continued to stand on the city wall and shoot arrows.

It has to be said that although this method is simple, it is superior to its practicality. By taking several people on a round of rest, a large number of casualties can be avoided.

The Goguryeo soldiers under the city were not so lucky. They were not wearing armor on their bodies. They were shot and fell to the ground by the feather arrows of the Yan army. They continued to step forward and replace them.

Gao Yong's expression remained unchanged and snorted coldly: "Continue to shoot arrows, I'll see how long they last, prepare for a ladder and attack the city."

Kemu nodded and immediately ordered the soldiers to attack the city with a cloud ladder. First, they set up the cloud ladder and walked straight to the other side. The soldiers rushed to the other side with flying arrows above their heads and falling rocks. Many Goguryeo soldiers were smashed into the trench, and the pit was covered with sharp bamboo poles of seven or eight feet long. The soldiers who accidentally fell in screamed and were nailed to death like a candied haws.

The Goguryeo soldiers who rushed to the city raised a long ladder, with a hook at one end of the ladder, and clamped the city wall with a "kick" sound to prevent the ladder from being overturned. More than thirty ladders were placed on the city wall, and the Goguryeo soldiers began to climb up frantically.

Deng Ai sneered, and threw the huge rock downstairs with his own arrow, smashing Goguryeo from the air six or seven feet high, breaking the bones and tendons. At the same time, the boiling hot oil-boiled juice was lifted from the city and poured it downstairs by the Yan army. The Goguryeo soldiers who were poured by the hot oil-boiled juice snorted on the spot, their cheeks and skin were about to be burned, and they fell down with people and ladders.

The Yan army was not feeling well. The Goguryeo soldiers under the city lined up to shoot arrows. Many Yan army, who wanted to probe their heads and splashed oil, were shot down by an arrow because they had no protection on their bodies.

The two sides were completely trapped in a battle of fuel, and one step further consumed the few Yan troops in Heshenggu City.

At this time, many Goguryeo soldiers climbed up to the top of the city and slashed at the Yan army randomly, and a large area was slashed and killed in the chaos.

Deng Zhongzong directly sent a spear forward, lifting a Goguryeo soldier into the air and throwing him to the city. Then he swept across the thousands of troops. He attacked left and right, stabbed or picked him, and killed more than 20 enemy troops climbing up the city on the spot.

He was wearing heavy armor, no longer afraid of flying arrows, and stood with a gun, even more like a god descending to earth. Seeing that the Yan army beside him was afraid of fear, he immediately shouted: "I am a vanguard living and dying with you. Now one of them dares to retreat, and they will be killed! The king raised his troops for a thousand days and used them for a moment. Now is the time for you to die loyally."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

As a pioneer, his spirit of fighting to the death also inspired the Yan army around him, who had already wanted to retreat. In an instant, when he was on the verge of verge, he burst out with infinite morale, protecting a corner of the city and killing Goguryeo soldiers who were about to climb down from the city.
