Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 489 Liaodong
The cold wind is still raging between the white mountains and the black water, the ice and snow have not melted, and the river is covered with a layer of ice.

For some reason, when Murong Ke saw Nansu City, he thought of Lukou City, which is also the place where the two rivers meet.

The difference was that this time the city was in his hands, and the Goguryeo army on the opposite side took advantage of the ice in the river to cross the bank.

Goguryeo, which has been a country for more than 300 years, is already an unusual small country. When Yan State focused its attention on China, Goguryeo took the opportunity to annex many tribes in the north. It has been 14 years since the last time the two countries fought, and their strength has recovered a lot. .

The Yan State failed to march into the Central Plains and its strength was greatly damaged. Goguryeo seized the opportunity and prepared to annex the Yan State in one fell swoop and occupy Liaodong.

Goguryeo's expansion ambitions were by no means inferior to those of Yan.

From a small tribe of Fuyu people in Goguryeo County in the Han Dynasty, it has expanded to today, all by annexing surrounding forces.

"Grand Governor." Meng Gao, the left guard general of the Yan Kingdom, cast a questioning look.

The cavalry in the forefront were actually the same as those of the Yan State. Both men and horses were wearing iron armor. From a distance, they looked like a surging brown tide.

"There's no rush." ​​Murong Ke stroked the horse's head gently, and the horse blew out two streams of hot air from its mouth and nose.

Feng Yi looked at more and more Goguryeo cavalry and laughed, "Goguryeo doesn't know the art of war and came here relying on bravery. It fell into my trap!"

The Yan army numbered [-] and the Goguryeo army nearly [-]. In a frontal battle, the Yan army was at an obvious disadvantage, so Feng Yi had already made preparations.

Murong Ke looked calm and said: "Goguryeo deceives our country into declining power, and is very arrogant. This war will lead to defeat!"

If Goguryeo is a proud army, then the Yan army is a sad army.

Continuous setbacks did not break the will of this elite team. At this moment, they needed a big victory more than ever. Therefore, Murong Ke did not choose to stick to the city, but went out for a decisive battle.

Thirteen thousand cavalry formed a long line outside Nansu City, appearing and disappearing in the wind and snow.

Two thousand heavy cavalry were at the front, with long iron chains connected to each other, ferocious and thick.

This battle will determine who will be the overlord of Liaodong in the future.

Behind the Goguryeo cavalry, there were rows of infantry with spears, slowly advancing forward.

Just as more than ten thousand Goguryeo cavalry and infantry were crossing the ice, Murong Ke fiercely swung his long sword forward at the enemy, "Kill!"

The war horse rose up with strength, looked up to the sky and neighed, and then shot at the enemy like an arrow. The bright red cloak swayed with the cold wind, like a burning flame.

"kill!"

The Yan Army's cavalry roared and rushed forward, kicking up the unmelted ice and snow on the ground with their rising hooves.

The more than [-] cavalrymen seemed to have a huge open mouth, and countless spears turned into sharp teeth, rushing towards the Goguryeo army on the opposite side.

14 years ago, Murong Ke defeated Goguryeo here, marched straight in, killed Wandu City, plundered its people and livestock, and returned, so that Goguryeo did not dare to look east after hearing Murong Ke's name.

14 years later, Murong Ke fought here again.

The entire Yan Kingdom was in a state of hunger and needed the flesh and blood of Goguryeo. At this moment, Murong Ke was more brave and fierce than before.

A sea turtle smelled the scent of blood, swooped down from the gloomy sky, swept across the battlefield with its horizontal wings, passed over Murong Ke's toothbrush, and let out a loud chirp.

Murong Ke's long spear was piercing the chest of an enemy soldier, and he looked up at the passing Hai Dongqing as if he had a clear understanding.

The most handsome one carved out of Liaodong is called Haidongqing, and is regarded as a sacred bird by all ethnic groups in Liaodong.

Haidongqing flapped his wings to the east, as if flying over the heads of the Yan army. The Yan army also moved from west to east, tearing apart the flesh and blood of the Goguryeo army. The cavalry of both sides collided with each other, bursting out clouds of blood.

The soldiers screamed in agony, and the horses neighed miserably before dying.

The chain of armored horses dragged the chains and swept across the battlefield.

The dark iron chain was dyed red, and there was a layer of flesh and blood hanging on it.The Goguryeo cavalry could originally resist, but after the serial armored horses appeared on the battlefield, the battlefield situation became one-sided.

The cavalry on horseback used bows and arrows at a distance and spears at a close distance, killing many people.

So much so that when the Goguryeo war horses saw the clattering iron chains, they did not dare to step forward.

Murong Ke led a group of elite cavalry and pounced into the Goguryeo infantry.

However, the Goguryeo infantry on the opposite side continued to come on the ice.

Rumble, armor and armor sounded like thunder.

At this moment, more than a hundred catapults in Nansu City were launched, and fireballs roared across the battlefield and hit the river.

After seeing the power of Liang Jun's thunder chariots, Yan Jun also paid attention to various siege equipment.

Although the power of these dozens of catapults cannot be compared with the thunderbolt carts, they are enough to break through the river ice.

After the fireball, heavy rocks were continuously thrown, and under the continuous impact, the river ice broke into pieces with a "bang".

In Liaodong at the end of March, the ice surface was not thick to begin with. It broke in one place, cracked everywhere, and cracked everywhere.

Feng Yi personally led thousands of soldiers to cut the ice where the ice was not broken. The Goguryeo army stepped forward to fight. As soon as they reached the middle of the river, they fell into the icy water with a loud bang.

In the blink of an eye, the [-] Goguryeo army on the east coast became a lone army.

Either a desperate fight or being driven into the water, the only other option is surrender.

"Murong Ke is here, and those who surrender will not be killed!" Murong Ke flew along the river bank like a meteor, and the guards beside him shouted loudly in Fuyu dialect.

The Goguryeo army was also a mixture of ethnic groups, including Fuyu people, Zhongyuan people, Xianbei people, and Haoqian people. Intimidated by Murong Ke's reputation, many people put down their weapons and knelt on the ground.

Those who did not surrender would be mercilessly killed by the Yan army, and their blood would flow into the glacier.

When the Goguryeo army on the other side heard Murong Ke's name, they became restless and their momentum suddenly weakened...

In Dragon City, the Nuang Pavilion is as warm as spring, with a faint fragrance floating around.

Murong Ping had a worried look on his face, "If the Governor wins this battle, I'm afraid he will deal with us when he comes back."

The so-called "we" include Kezu Hun, Murong Wei, and the newly favored warlock Ding Jin.

The contradiction between the two sides is becoming more and more prominent.

Nearly a quarter of the land in Liaodong was in the hands of Murong Ping, and he directly controlled as many as 2 child servants. If slaves were included, the number would double.

But there was also deep worry in Zuhun's beautiful eyes, "It would be great if... the Governor was one of our own, but it's a pity..."

It's a pity that Murong Ke never surrendered.

Ding Jin stroked three locks of his long beard and said, "Liaodong is His Highness's Liaodong, not the Liaodong of the Governor. If things continue like this, the people of Yan State will only know that there is a Governor, but not the King of Yan..."

"Presumptuous." Murong Ping rebuked weakly.

He didn't care who the Yan State belonged to. What he cared about was his own property and power.

The more majestic and upright Murong Ke is, the more his greed and incompetence are highlighted.

"This little man was only interested in scheming against the Queen Mother and Her Highness. I made a mistake. Please forgive me." Ding Jin quickly handed over his hand.

But Zuhun glanced at Murong Ping and said, "Without the Commander-in-Chief, the sky of the Yan Kingdom would have collapsed. Not to mention the Liang Kingdom, even Goguryeo would be hard-pressed to withstand it. After the Commander-in-Chief and his three armies have triumphed, I will discuss with him again, please." Please beg for mercy, we are all a family, why should we do this?”
