After listening to Guanqiu Jian's words, Niuyou became angry. He waved the 32-pound mixed-iron spear in his hand with a "whoosh", and the two thousand Gaoguli forwards behind him shouted at Guanqiu in an instant. Jian rushed over.
Guanqiu Jian turned his horse back to the formation and immediately returned to his central command position.
Gogouli's forwards were like crazy jackals, but Guanqiu Jian and his experienced Youyan warriors were not afraid at all.
Seeing that the Gaoguli forward was only two arrows away from his own position, Guanqiu Jian waved his sword and issued two different orders in succession. After the cavalry captain in the back row saw the signal, he immediately gave it to his subordinates. The commander of the camp conveyed the military order, and two thousand heavy cavalrymen from Liaodong, wearing heavy armor and horse armor, immediately mounted their horses and advanced in a circuitous way to the left and right, like two scimitars with outward-facing blades, heading into the distance. Newyou's infantry battalion galloped out.
Immediately afterwards, the light cavalry on the left and right sides of the Wei army, who had received the signal, led their horses slowly towards the front of the formation. After the two waves of arrows from their own side of the Chinese army had passed, they mounted their horses and charged with lightning speed.
The heavy armored cavalry in the front army had already come out, and the Chinese crossbowmen behind the heavy cavalry had already put their arrows on their bowstrings. Seeing that the Gaoguli cavalry was only one shot away from him, Guanqiu Jian immediately ordered to let go The sound of arrows could only be heard as the soldiers' bowstrings trembled with "clang", and a rain of arrows like locusts shot at Gaogouli's two thousand light cavalry who were not heavily armored.
After the two waves of arrow rain, a small number of Gaoguli cavalry officers were hit by arrows and fell from their horses. The originally flat battlefield was now full of corpses of fallen soldiers and horses, so Gaoguli's offensive stalled momentarily.
The two wings of the Wei army's light cavalry, which had led their horses to the front of the formation, were already ready at this moment. The moment they saw the Gaoguli cavalry slow down, the two thousand light cavalry got on their horses in an instant and headed towards the Gaoguli cavalry with thunderous momentum. Gouli's already frustrated cavalry rushed over!
Since the Wei army mounted their horses almost instantly, the Gaoguli cavalry did not know the direction of the Wei army's cavalry. At this moment, the Wei cavalry suddenly charged out, which naturally surprised them. The cavalry relied on their courage to move forward and their unexpected speed. Nowadays, the Gaoguli cavalry have obviously fallen behind in terms of momentum and speed.
At the same time, Niuyou, who was sweating for the forward, found that his left and right wings had been entangled by the Wei army's heavy cavalry at some point. At this moment, Niuyou realized that he had lost the battlefield advantage, and he shouted in anger, After giving the order to charge towards the three hundred Gaoguli soldiers and heavy cavalry behind them, they picked up their iron spears and rushed towards the two armies clashing in front of the formation without hesitation!
The Gaoguli cavalry was originally at a disadvantage and their defeat was certain, but after Niyu joined the battlefield like a mad wolf, the situation changed subtly. Although the warriors of Youyan's heavy armored cavalry were brave, Niyu, who was extremely brave, was at this moment The desperate charge instantly inspired the fighting spirit of the Kogouli cavalry.
After watching the battle situation for a while, Guanqiu Jian, who was observing the Chinese army in the distance, found that the crazy Niuyou really had the momentum to fight for one man and defeat ten thousand men.
Guan Qiu Jian's blood was surging at this moment. He waved the specially made six-foot-long steel spear in his hand with a roar, and pulled the reins. After the incomparable horse of Youzhou roared, Guan Qiu Jian and the four hundred Youyan behind him The warrior soldiers then went out of the battle like arrows from the string.
Guanqiu Jian's personal participation in the battle also boosted the morale of the Youyan warriors in front of the battle. The two armies were now fighting with great enthusiasm, and the entire battle entered a fierce stage.
Not long after, Nuyou, who was as fierce as a wolf, and Guanqiu Jian, who was as majestic as a tiger, finally met. The two men with red eyes did not even talk, and they rushed towards each other on horseback.
In Guanqiu Jian's hand, a six-foot-long steel spear made of hundreds of refined steel was circling like a silver dragon. While attacking Niuyou, he did not forget to take the time to kill the Gaoguli soldiers beside him.
Niyu was wielding his iron spear at this moment, with a completely life-threatening style.
The two galloped against each other, and before long they had been fighting back and forth for twelve rounds!
This made the soldiers beside them extremely nervous.
The two men exchanged spears in their hands, and the fight continued for five rounds without knowing it. Newyou had always been proud of his superior strength, but now he was stabbing and slashing with all his strength, but the mixed iron spear weighing thirty-two kilograms in his hand Hitting Guanqiu Jian's six-foot-long steel spear was like hitting a huge stone mountain. No matter how hard he tried, Guanqiu Jian could not move like a mountain.
In the blink of an eye, the two have been fighting for thirty years.
At this moment, Newyou felt completely desperate, and then he understood the truth that there are people outside the world and there is a world outside the world.
So what if Gao Gouli dominated the eight kingdoms of Liaodong? Compared with the Wei Dynasty, it was still like a worm shaking a big tree. It didn't matter that he was extremely brave. Compared with Guanqiu Jian, a famous Wei general, he was no match.
Nuyou saw the last elites of Gaoguli around him fall down one by one. He was so anxious that he did not dare to fight anymore. Under the cover of a group of soldiers, he turned his horse's head and ran towards the main formation.
But Guanqiu Jian had no intention of letting the tiger return to the mountain. At this moment, Gaogouli's rear army camp had already been penetrated by two thousand Youzhou heavy cavalry.
Two thousand heavy cavalry were behind and two thousand light cavalry were in front. The central Wei army also blocked the roads on the left and right.
Niyu and his three thousand remaining soldiers were trapped in Gaixin.
At this moment, Niyou was like a lone wolf falling into a hunter's trap, while Guanqiu Jian was like a beautiful tiger looking down at his dinner.
Niuyou roared and led the remaining soldiers under his command to rush left and right, but things in the east, west, south, and north were like iron barrels at the moment, and Niuyou was forced back into the formation in embarrassment again.
Seeing that all the last ten thousand elites of Gaoguli were killed on the battlefield, Niu You was heartbroken at this moment. He regretted why he didn't listen to the words of his elder brother Lu Delai and the prince Gao Ranfu. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell off his horse.
He struggled to get up, only to remember that the world between heaven and earth was filled with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The dead Gaoguli soldiers and their parents, wives, and children all seemed to be going crazy and rushed towards him at this moment.
At this moment, Niuyou's liver and gallbladder were split, and his heart ached extremely. When he collapsed, he finally pulled out the sword from his waist that was given to him by a high-ranking official. He shouted loudly towards the position of Wang Jia in the northeast:
"You are incompetent, I am ashamed of your Majesty!"
After saying this, he swung his sword and cut off his own head!
Guanqiu Jian, who has been fighting for many years, has long been hard-hearted. There is no expression on his face. He just waved his steel spear and sent his army towards the inner city of Gaoguli, hundreds of miles away.
——————
Gogouli Capital City is located on the bank of the inner city and above the Wandu Mountain City.
From time to time in the city, there were the groans of wounded soldiers and the cries of the people, mixed with a hint of blood that drifted to the top of the city in the autumn wind.
On top of the city tower, a middle-aged man wearing a feather crown, jade rings in his ears, and luxurious royal clothes looked at the Wei army's camp below the city in the distance, his eyes full of sadness.
He is the king of Dongchuan in Gaoguli, and he is in high position.
At this moment, his heart had become numb and he could no longer feel any pain or hope.
Not long after, a general Gaoguli, wearing an iron helmet and armor, climbed onto the tower and saluted the king:
"Your Majesty, the Wei army may be about to attack the city. It's dangerous here. You'd better enter the city early."
After a long time, Gao Youzhi let out a long sigh. He once again remembered the results of his hunger strike to persuade him, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"If Gu had listened to De Lai's words, we would not have ended up today..."
——————
After the army besieged the city for several days, Guanqiu Jian saw that the east, north, and south sides of Wandu Mountain City were heavily guarded. Only the northwest was a cliff with very few defenders.
Guanqiu Jian had an idea and thought of a very risky but enough strategy to catch the enemy by surprise.
The next day, the Wei army attacked from three sides as usual, but what the high-ranking generals and generals did not expect was that Guanqiu Jian secretly sent a group of soldiers who were good at climbing towers, armed with weapons and long ropes. Secretly climb up along the northwest cliff!
The soldiers at the foot of the mountain followed the long ropes that had been thrown down by the mountaineers, and one by one they climbed up the extremely steep Wandu Mountain City without anyone noticing.
Just when Gao Youzhi was concentrating on defending the three city walls, he suddenly heard a loud shouting behind him. When he hurriedly turned around to look, he found that a Wei army had appeared out of nowhere and was already on the top of the city!
Gao Youzhi was so shocked that he hurriedly took off his royal clothes and rushed out of the city with Prince Gao Ranfu and Queen Niu under the cover of his trusted aides.
The most fortified city in the world, which Gaogouli had worked hard for more than two hundred years, was actually breached by Guanqiu Jian in just a few days!
King Gaoyou of Dongchuan took the crown prince and queen with him, and led the remaining troops to flee in embarrassment, all the way north, directly to Nanwoju, in an attempt to continue to survive.
Inside Maruto Castle.
The Wei army, which had just occupied the capital of Gaoguli, was in high morale at the moment. After Guanqiu Jian commanded his troops to occupy key areas of the city, he climbed to the top of the mountain city alone, overlooking the thousands of miles of fertile land outside the Liaodong Great Wall.
At this moment, his expression was a little complicated, as if he was thinking about something difficult to decide.
Although Gaogouli was defeated this time, his strength was still not exhausted. Although his capital was destroyed, not all the eight Liaodong kingdoms might surrender. If he wanted to ensure the stability of the Wei border for decades, he must use thunderous means to frighten the Liaodong kingdoms. Only the country can do it.
The fastest way he could think of to establish his power was to massacre the city!
But……
Guanqiu Jian looked at the crying people of Gaoguli inside and outside the city, as well as the remaining Gaoguli soldiers who still looked resentful after being tied up by prisoners, and finally made a decision in his heart.
He closed his eyes and thought for a while, and finally made up his mind. He summoned the generals and colonels of each battalion, and then issued a brief order:
"Instruct all ministries to arrange for the people of Wandu Mountain City and Inner City to move inward to Xuantu today and tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, their remaining soldiers and officials will be slaughtered, and their palaces and royal cities will be burned to prevent the resurgence of Gaoguli!"
"yes!"
After the messenger received the order, he was about to go down to the city. Guanqiu Jian suddenly remembered something and immediately stopped him:
"Wait a minute, Gao Gouli's family is loyal to Lu Delai. They must not be harmed. They must be properly protected. Their tombs must not be damaged or their trees cut down. If their wives and children are found, they will be released without harm. Anyone who violates this order will be killed!"
Three days later, the former Goguryo Kingdom was ravaged by a fire. This domestic city, which had been glorious for more than 240 years, was engulfed in a sea of flames.
