Chapter 656 Blood Debt (Part [-])
The water is surging.The cool morning sun shines on the river.The sun in late autumn has no warmth at all.
As the morning breeze blew, as Ulji Wendeok on the highest Eulmi platform in Pyongyang, he couldn't help but look sideways when he saw Zhao Jun's attack.

Zhao Jun's huge ships floating on the river, like moving castles, covered the water.On both sides of the black lacquered hull, there are full of ballista row catapults, and the arrowheads reflect the sunlight fiercely.When Zhao Jun's troop transport ship was moored on the shore, it suddenly opened its mouth like a giant whale, and Zhao Jun's soldiers covered with armor on the ship poured down the ship continuously, covering the entire river beach.

Troop transport ships came one after another, and Ulji Moondeok watched Zhao Jun's troop transport ships swallow soldiers under the city of Pyongyang.Although the Zhao army disembarked under the noses of the Goguryeo people, Ulji Mundeok did not dare to easily send his men to attack the disembarked Zhao army because of the giant Zhao army ships protecting them along the river.

However, Eulji Mundeok had already made preparations. Around the city of Pyongyang, the water flowed rapidly on both sides of the ordinary river. Lower the water level downstream, and it will not take a few days for Zhao Jun's giant ship to be stranded on the shore due to the lower water level.

Ulji Mundeok is worthy of his wit and scheming. He not only guarded against Zhao Jun's attacking the city with giant ships, but also left Zhao Jun's fleet directly in Pyongyang City.

However, when Ulji Wende saw the battle flags of the Silla people in Zhao Jun's fleet, his expression was a little uneasy.

"Yes, Bitan, Yanchuan, these two bastards? Why did they get mixed up with Zhao Jun?" All the Goguryeo generals on the Yimi stage cursed.

"It really is the despicable villains of Silla who have colluded with the Zhao people."

You must know that the Goguryeo people hate Silla more than they hate the Han people. The two countries are on the Korean peninsula, and have grudges for generations. More than 70 years ago, Silla and Baekje took away the richness and fertility from under the eyes of the Goguryeo people. The strategically important Han River Basin.

Because of the problems in the Han River Basin, the two families have fought countless times here.Therefore, the Goguryeo people hated the Silla people even more than the Han people.And the generals leading the Silla army are also old rivals Ulji Wendeok is familiar with, Silla Shangdae Bidam and Daechi Acheon.

Among them, Bitan is nothing more than that, and Yanchuan is a general stationed in the seventh city of Silla, where he defeated the Goguryeo army with few victories and many victories.There is a saying among the generals of Goguryeo that the Han River cannot be subdued in a day with Yanchuan.

Eulji Wendeok said to the generals: "Silla has long been in collusion with Zhao Guo. This time the coalition forces invaded our Pyongyang, which is really our biggest crisis. If it is not impossible to defend Pyongyang, my ancestral temple and society in Goguryeo will definitely be destroyed. The hand of the Zhao people."

All the generals heard this and said with enthusiasm: "Dear Lu, don't worry, we will defend the royal city to the death, and we will never let Zhao Jun succeed."

While speaking, he suddenly heard Zhao Jun's cheers from far away from the city, and all the Goguryeo generals were surprised and ran to the city to see what happened.

But seeing a giant ship docking on the bank of the Weishui River, the flag of Zhao Zi fluttered and fluttered, and the Zhao troops who disembarked from the left and right all shouted long live in unison.

Ulji Wende's eyes froze and he said: "The rules of the Han people, the voice of Long Live, can only be called the Son of Heaven, everyone, remember for me, the person on the boat is my enemy of Goguryeo, the emperor of Zhao State!"

When all the generals heard the words, they pressed their swords one after another, and looked at Zhao Jun's ships angrily.

Five miles away from Pyongyang City, the emperor's imperial flag was erected high, and Zhao Jun's court guards erected carbine-repelling guns and scattered barbed wire around the tent.

In the big tent that was just laid, a map was spread across the wooden table. The map was sketched with charcoal pencils, and the strongholds near Pyongyang City were marked on it.

After Lai Huer defeated Pyongyang last time, he learned his lesson and redrawn the map around Pyongyang. Lai Ji, the son of Lai Huer, once dedicated this map to Li Chongjiu, but he did not expect it to come in handy today.

Dacheng Mountain City, Li Chongjiu lightly hooked it with a charcoal pen, and said to Zhang Xuansu on the side: "This Dacheng Mountain City is connected to the six peaks of Dacheng Mountain. This mountain city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. , but located in the plains, it is not so difficult, so Ulji Mundeok did not make up his mind to defend, but defended the city, as if he wanted to fight our army against the city."

Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Majesty, Ulji Mundeok is a famous general in Goguryeo. Yu Zhongwen was a famous general at that time, and if he is placed in his hands, His Majesty must be careful when using this person."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "I know, but there is not much time, and I have no time to prepare. Pyongyang City is just a stone, and I will break it apart with both hands."

Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu walked out of the big tent, and the Silla generals Kim Chunqiu, Kim Yuxin, Bitan, Yanchuan, Yuanxiao and others came together.

Jin Chunqiu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Goguryeo army has already gathered from all directions. The advantage of this battle lies in a quick decision. An early battle is worse than a late one. If it is delayed for a day, Pyongyang will be difficult to conquer for a day. For the vanguard."
Speaking of this, Silla General Bitan bowed to Li Chongjiu and said: "I have heard for a long time that His Majesty Zhao Huang is known for his bravery. It is an honor for us soldiers of Silla to be able to fight side by side with His Majesty Zhao today."

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "The first battle of the army is the first to win the battle, so don't lose your momentum. Can Bitan be sure?"

Bitan proudly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely obey."

Li Chongjiu and Zhang Xuansu looked at each other and nodded.Li Chongjiu said: "That's fine, my Zhao army hasn't disembarked yet, so it's fine if your Xinluo army is the vanguard."

Bitan clasped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will surely fulfill our mission."

At the foot of Dacheng Mountain, the bell of Guangfa Temple rang hastily.

Gao Tao, who was copying the scriptures, lifted his monk's robe and stood up, his eyes narrowed and he said to himself: "Since the conquest in those days, Goguryeo has been at peace for a long time, how could there be an enemy attack at this time."

Gao Tao didn't think much about it at the moment, he went outside the hall and found a familiar Goguryeo monk and said, "What's going on? During the Taiping period, why were there still wars? Is it the Silla people?"

Gao Tao had been in and out of the temple for several years, and the monk had long regarded Gao Tao as a Goguryeo man, and hurriedly said: "It's not from Silla, but the Han army has attacked, and now the entire river is full of Han army warships." , are full, the abbot has been summoned to the mountain city overnight, and ordered a prayer ceremony for the queen, and now people in the temple are panicking, ah, I don’t know what to do.”

"Is this true?" Gao Tao couldn't help shaking.

"Can there be a fake?" The monk shook his head and left quickly.

Gao Tao looked up at the sky, and thought to himself, come to protect the children, General, could it be that you heard our soldiers' prayers day and night, and finally came to save us?

Thinking of this, Gao Tao secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked left and right to see that there was no one around, and immediately felt relieved, so he made up his mind and strode away.

Gao Tao said silently from the bottom of his heart: "Goguryeo dog, today is finally the time to pay blood for blood debt."
