The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1262 Baiya Mountain Ambush

The one who stayed behind in Marutu City was the eldest son of King Meichuan, Gao Siyou. When he received the letter from the messenger, he opened it and was shocked. He thought that his father led the troops to occupy Liaodong, and the good days of their Goguryeo Dynasty were coming. Unexpectedly, in just a few months, the Han army launched a counterattack, defeated the Goguryeo army at Shuangliudu, and surrounded Xiangping City. rescue.

Gao Siyou was so anxious that he wished to threaten his wings and fly to Xiangping to rescue his father and king.He immediately ordered that all the soldiers and horses of the country should go to Xiangping to rescue him.

However, this whole point made Gao Siyou feel worried. When King Meichuan attacked Liaodong, he brought [-] troops from Goguryeo. Now there are only [-] to [-] troops left in Wandu City. Even if they were all sent to Xiangping, there would not be enough for the Han army to fill their teeth.

Gauss was extremely broken from the bottom of his heart. On the one hand, he was concerned about the safety of his father, but on the other hand, he couldn't come up with enough troops to rescue him, which made him frown and depressed.

Prime Minister You, who guarded the city of Marutu with the son, said at this time: "Your Highness, the king is now trapped in Xiangping and is in danger. He must be rescued. Marutu has few soldiers, and now the only way to do it is to mobilize the soldiers from the northern border. "

The soldiers of the northern border are soldiers and horses stationed in the northern border area of ​​Goguryeo and Buyeo. Because of the deep hatred between Goguryeo and Buyeo and the long-term wars, Goguryeo usually stationed heavy troops in the northern border area bordering Buyeo to prevent Invasion of the Buyeo people.

The size of this army is not small. At its peak, it reached 6 garrisons. However, King Meichuan moved westward strategically, and the number of troops stationed on the northern border is currently maintained at [-] to [-].

Prime Minister You mentioned the use of troops on the northern border, but Gao Siyou kept shaking his head and said: "No, the soldiers in the northern border are to prevent the Fuyu people from invading, and the father and the king have explained it before leaving. It is not a last resort. Never move the soldiers of the northern border lightly."

Prime Minister You said: "His Royal Highness, although His Majesty has explained something, now is the time of last resort. Now Xiangping is besieged by the Han people, and His Majesty is in danger. If the reinforcements are delayed, if there is any mistake on His Majesty's side, it is true It’s too late to regret.”

Gao Siyou also made a mistake, so don't mobilize the troops in the northern border. He doesn't have enough troops now, so he can mobilize the troops in the northern border. That's a big deal. , Goguryeo is simply irresistible.

"If the soldiers from the northern border are transferred away, and Fuyu people come to attack, what can we do?" Gao Siyou said.

Prime Minister You said: "We only mobilized about half of the troops, not all of them. The northern border is mostly dangerous. Even if the Fuyu people send troops at this time, they may not be able to cross the northern border easily. What's more, we are only recruiting temporarily this time. , After the king is rescued and the incident in Xiangping is over, these troops can return to the northern border soon. Although there have been constant disputes between us and the Fuyu people in the past, the border has been safe and sound for the past few years. The people of Fanfuyu found that the garrison in the northern border has decreased, so it may not be so easy for them to mobilize troops to attack. If the Fuyu people want to invade after countless months of preparation, it is also delusional."

Gao Siyou weighed the pros and cons. Indeed, the worries in the north are only a possibility, and the rescue of King Meichuan is imminent. Without a sufficient number of soldiers and horses, it is not enough to rescue King Meichuan.

He gritted his teeth, agreed with Prime Minister You's suggestion, and ordered to transfer half of the troops stationed in the northern border, that is, about 3 people. Including the 3 people in Marudu, the total force is 6. From left to right, some young and strong hunters in the country were recruited, and the total force reached seven or eight. It was said to be an army of one hundred thousand to the outside world, and they immediately left Wandu and marched towards Xiangping.

In fact, it was said to be immediate, but after Gauss ordered the troops to be dispatched, it took about ten days for the troops from the northern border to rush back to Marudu. In addition to integrating other troops and recruiting some good archers, it was almost It's been half a month.

Gao Siyou was a little worried, and he didn't know what was going on in Xiangping after such a long delay. Fortunately, King Michuan sent a messenger to Marudu again, which also made Gao Siyou feel relieved. Under the control of the Goguryeo army, King Meichuan is safe and sound for the time being.

However, King Meichuan also realized the shortage of troops in Marutu Castle, so in the second emergency document, King Meichuan also mentioned that troops from the northern border could be used to rescue Xiangping if necessary.

The letter from King Meichuan gave Gauss a reassurance, so he quickly summoned the soldiers and horses for the expedition, left Wandu City, and headed west all the way to Xiangping.

From Wandu to Xiangping, a large part of the journey is mountainous, rugged and difficult, but fortunately, the Goguryeo people have lived in the dense mountains and forests since childhood, so the rough and difficult road is not difficult. They couldn't help them, and soon they arrived at Baiya Mountain.

You Cheng said to Gao Siyou: "Your Highness, Baiya Mountain is in front of you. As long as you cross Baiya Mountain, you will be in the plain of Yimapingchuan, and you will not be far from Xiangping."

Gauss was overjoyed secretly, and ordered the army: "March quickly, without delay, the first one to arrive at the city of Xiangping, the prince will reward you a lot!"

The rapid march all the way made the Goguryeo soldiers quite tired, but when they heard that there was a great reward, all the soldiers became excited again and rushed forward.

As soon as he reached the foot of Baiya Mountain, he suddenly killed a group of men and horses from the mountain, using Chinese characters to block the way of the Goguryeo people.

Gauss could not help being taken aback by the sudden appearance of a group of troops, but he saw that there were not too many Han soldiers blocking the way, so Gauss felt relieved and shouted: "It's just because of you chickens and dogs. Seniors, are you also worthy of blocking the way of this prince? Come on, let me destroy them first, and then march into Xiangping before it is too late."

Goguryeo soldiers rushed forward as soon as they shouted.

The one who led the Han army into battle was none other than Lu Xun, the guard of the Suzaku army of the Han army and the general of Pingnan. Lu Xun was not leading all the troops of the Suzaku army at this time. He was ordered by Liu Yin to execute the lure For the enemy's plan, he only led three thousand soldiers and horses to call for battle at the foot of Baiya Mountain.

The Goguryeo people relied on the large number of soldiers, and they rushed up from Hulaladi. Lu Xun led the army to resist for a while, then turned and fled. After chasing him, Lu Xun led his troops and fled to a valley.
