Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 320 Angry

Xuantu.

A name that people in the Central Plains never miss, it represents the glory of the Han Dynasty, and it is the glory that Han people all recall.In the era of the Han Empire, it was the era of expanding the territory, expelling the slaves from the north, opening up the Western Regions, and conquests from the east to the south. Although the Han Dynasty finally perished, it died because of its strength.

And the famous sentence of the Han Dynasty, whoever offends me, will be punished even if he is far away, has been admired by countless later generations. This is the strength of character of the Han family, the arrogance of the Han family, and the prestige of the Han family.

Accompanied by this sentence, even though it is far away, the Han Empire chased the slaves from the north, swept the Western Regions, and even conquered Weiman and Korea from the east. In Liaodong, the four counties of Han Dynasty, Xuantu, were established. One of the four counties.

Xuantu became one of the symbols of the power of the Han Empire.

Just like a few years ago, Yang Guang fought against Tuyuhun and established the four counties of Xihai and Qiemo in Qinghai. In other words, Yang Guang's four counties in Qinghai were actually imitating the four counties of Liaodong in the Han Empire.

Of course, with the demise of the Han Empire, Xuanju City is no longer famous, and many people in the world have even forgotten the name.

Although there is still a Xuantu City by the Liaohe River, it is no longer the Xuantu City that used to be in the four counties of the Han Dynasty. He just moved again and again, and finally moved to a small city by the Liaohe River.

The city is small, and there is no danger to defend. Compared with the more than 200 mountain cities on the Liaohe defense line, a flat city has no danger to defend.

However, after Luo Cheng came with 2 people, after half a month of hard work, Xuanju City already had a good defense force.

One city, two forts, three joint defenses.

Xuantu City has no danger to defend, but Xuantu City also has its valuable features, that is, it has a large population and piles of money, food and military equipment.

Luo Cheng drove all the people within fifty miles of Xuantu City into the city, and even brought back the livestock and food outside the city. Today's Xuantu City is like a huge temporary refugee camp.

In one city and two forts, there are [-] Sui troops and nearly [-] people from the original Goguryeo Xuantu.

However, among the 5 people, there are more than 1 descendants of the Han family who have become Luo Cheng's reliable helpers. The young and strong among them have formed a county barracks of 3000 people and a township corps of [-] people.

The tribal militia composed of Khitan, Xi, Turk, Shiwei, Mohe, etc. also reached [-], and was assigned by Luo Cheng to one city and two forts to assist in city defense.

If Luo Cheng hadn't crossed the river earlier this time.

Maybe after the new year, the lord of Xincheng will remove all the money, food and weapons accumulated in Xuantu City, and even the population of Xuantu will retreat. By then, Xuantu will be nothing but an empty city on the front line that cannot be defended.

But with Luo Cheng's appearance, this small town will once again become famous all over the world.

Because of the cold weather, heavy snow fell.

On the third day after Luo Cheng broke through Xuanju City, the city lord of Xincheng, who was hundreds of miles away, learned the news, and then he spent another five days researching countermeasures.

Finally, he decided to send troops to retake the outpost. He issued orders to the surrounding mountain cities and fortresses to mobilize troops.But the weather was bad, and troops were sent out slowly. By the time he gathered [-] soldiers and horses in the new city, it had been half a month since Luo Cheng captured Xuantu City.

The snow showed no sign of melting, and the entire banks of the Liaohe River were completely white.

Even before the snow has melted, another snow will fall in a few days, and the snow will accumulate thicker and thicker.

This made Xincheng's counterattack extremely slow.

It took ten days for the [-] army mobilized from various places to arrive at Gaimu, which is [-] miles away from Xuanju City.

Another blizzard came unexpectedly, and the Koguryo army had to take shelter from the snow and rest in Gaimu City.

This wait is another ten days.

When they sent troops again, 35 days had passed since Xuantu City fell.

At dusk that day, [-] Goguryeo troops finally arrived near Xuantu City.

But eight miles away from Xuantu City, they first encountered a fort with the flag of the Sui Dynasty.

The fortress is built on a hill, occupying a high place and guarding it. Although it is small, it is dangerous.

The shadow of the Goguryeo army had just appeared, and the bells and horns had already been sounded in the fortress over there.

The infantry mounted the walls, and the cavalry mounted their horses.

The gate of the fort opened, and the light cavalry went out of the city first, followed by the pawns.

Everything is in order.

The defenders in the castle have been waiting for the Goguryeo people for more than a month.Everyone knows that the Goguryeo people will definitely come. They have deduced the situation after the Goguryeo people have come countless times, and made one coping strategy after another.

Even under the fortress, the fortifications are densely packed.

Windswept banner.

Luo Siye led half of the soldiers in the front compartment to stand by the castle, he was a little impatient to wait.Until now, the soldiers in the front chamber have waited for the last bit of fear and worry about the Goguryeo people, and now they are just eager to fight.

No matter what, no matter how many Goguryeo people come, please fight a battle first.

Luo Siye did not hide in the castle.

At the beginning, Luo Cheng set up the second fortress outside the city, in order to block the enemy step by step, to actively defend three-dimensionally, use the castle defense, rely on the favorable terrain, and kill the Goguryeo army bit by bit.

The Luo family has never had the habit of being beaten passively.

Appearing at the front is the vanguard of [-] troops led by the city lord of Koguryo New City.

There were about 5000 of them, with about [-] light cavalry in front and [-] infantry behind.The light cavalry in the front were obviously Mohe cavalry from the Mohe tribe, while those following behind were equipped with longbows, spears and other weapons.

In the snow, they lined up, like a black tide.

Trekking in the snow was obviously very hard. The faces of these Goguryeo people were flushed from the cold, and there were ice stubbles on their beards.

Siye looked at the striker carefully, and when he was done observing, he waved his Mo Dao and pointed forward.

"Get up, meet the enemy!"

He rode his horse in front, followed by five hundred Mo Daomen carrying Mo Dao behind him, one thousand five step soldiers holding bows and crossbows behind him, and one thousand Qingqi followed on both wings.

The Sui army in the castle would go out of the city to fight, which was not beyond the expectations of the Goguryeo people.But they actually went directly to greet them, which surprised them.

"Well done, come on!"

The Goguryeo vanguard general, who originally thought of taking a rest under the city, was undoubtedly angered by the arrogance of the Sui people, and immediately drew his sword and directed the attack regardless of the arrival of the soldiers and horses.

The two soldiers and horses approached quickly.

Seeing that the two sides were less than three hundred steps away.

Siye reined in his horse and thrust the Mo Dao into the ground.

"Certainly!"

The five hundred Mo Dao hands all stood still, and the Mo Dao on his shoulder stabbed fiercely into the ground in front of him.

"Hold the bow!"

Regardless of infantry, Mo Dao hand or light infantry, they all took off their bows at this moment, drew long arrows from their quiver bags and stuck them on the ground in front of them.

The Sui army stopped, but the Goguryeo army did not stop.

Instead, they ran faster and faster.

Among the pawns, lightly ride on the wings.
