The night fell, and the cold wind of late autumn brought dark clouds all over the sky, completely covering the original full moon.
By the river with water, there is a servant in the city.
It was already late at night, and King Buyurong of Baekje Piliu suddenly woke up from his dream and sat up suddenly. The female slave Mahan who served him beside him, the Lord of the City Yeon, brought a warm table to her and quickly stood up to serve him.
King Biliu took the copper cup offered by the slave girl Ma Han and took a sip of the sweet wine to calm his mind.
He had just dreamed that the Jin people in Daifang and Lelang counties had turned into demons that ate human flesh. They not only defeated the Goguryeo people, but also went south to Baekje. These Jin people did not bring any food or baggage and captured Baekje people along the way. He was eaten like an ox or a sheep, and they conquered the capital city of Weili all the way. King Biliu himself was captured by the Jin people, and they were about to cut out his liver and heart and eat him alive.
"What time is it now?"
King Biliu asked the personal slave waiting at the door.
"Your Majesty, it's almost Yinshi."
At this time, Goguryeo, Baekje and other Haidong countries had begun to quickly learn the culture and systems of the Central Plains, and even time had learned the Central Plains' engraved and occluded timekeeping methods.
After the mood that was originally disturbed by the nightmare calmed down a little, King Biliu began to get angry again. The group of Jin bandits who didn't know where they came from not only caused him to lose the naval army he had built with all his efforts, but also made him lead the army. The prestige established by the army's invasion of Jin people's territory was greatly damaged.
You must know that King Biliu was born in the royal family. After the previous King of Baekje was poisoned by the governor of Jin Lelang, he was elected as the king by the nobles because the heir was young. King Biliu thought about it every moment after he took the throne. Establish prestige and get rid of the checks and balances of various royal families and nobles.
These Jin bandits who came across the sea claimed to be soldiers from Donglai County in Qingzhou. King Biliu didn't quite believe it. He knew that the Central Plains was already in chaos. Even the two counties of Fang and Lelang were in chaos. The support from the Central Plains court has been cut off for several years. How could a Jin army from the Central Plains suddenly appear at this time?
As for where these people came from, although King Biliu has never been able to figure it out, he doesn't care too much. After all, according to the intelligence, the enemy only has 2,000 people. At this time, he has assembled an army of 10,000, and is conquering Ma in the south. There are still more than 20,000 Korean troops, and a ten-fold numerical advantage is enough to win.
King Biliu thought that when he won, he must capture more prisoners from the Central Plains and let them build more sturdy warships like the Jin navy. Then he could sail across the East China Sea and unite Goguryeo and the Japanese state. Put Lelang, Daifang, and even Liaodong County within the scope of their invasion.
Just when King Biliu was hugging the smooth slave girl Ma Han, drinking sweet wine and thinking about the beautiful scenery of victory, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Then, King Biliu heard the slight sound of the personal servant talking to someone at the door.
"Who's here?"
King Biliu, who had always been very suspicious, could not see this the most.
"Your Majesty, the guards of Puyucheng said that the three hundred nobles who were captured by the thieves have returned. They have arrived outside the city at this time, but, just..."
The servant became more and more hesitant as he spoke.
"Just what, say it!" King Biliu scolded.
"It's just that they were all stabbed blind." The voice of the servant outside the door was already trembling with the coming anger.
Immediately, with a "bang", King Biliu pushed open the door and appeared at the door angrily.
"What did you say? Where is he? Take me there quickly."
Under the guidance of the guards who reported the news, King Biliu, who was surrounded by everyone, quickly arrived at the gate of Puyu City.
At this time, against the backdrop of a large number of torches, three hundred Buyeo people wailing in pain appeared in front of King Piliu.
Seeing these originally vigorous Buyeo warriors turned into blind waste, King Piliu felt that there was nowhere to vent the anger in his chest.
He wanted to kill people. He wanted to pluck out the eyes, cut off the limbs of all the damned Jin people, and then chop them into meat paste. Maybe only in this way, he could slightly alleviate the insult and anger he was feeling at this moment.
"Tell all the ministers in the city to leave the city at midnight and follow me to kill all the Jin people. Send me the order now!"
King Biliu ordered in a voice that was almost a roar.
·····
A dozen warriors on horseback were marching on the rolling hills. They walked and stopped, gathered and dispersed.
Because he did not bring extra horses on this boat trip, Liu Yu only brought a dozen horses. Now he personally leads these dozen cavalry as a forward to conduct reconnaissance for the army.
According to the description of the captured Mahan people, Liu Yu estimated that he was less than ten miles away from the Puyu City of the Baekje people. If the rolling hills here had not blocked the view, the appearance of the city could have been seen on the plain.
At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and under the howling of the fierce northwest wind, Liu Yu only felt a chilling atmosphere around him.
Suddenly, a guard beside him reminded Liu Yu.
"General, there seems to be a sound behind the hill ahead."
When Liu Yu heard the words, he immediately listened carefully, but the wind was roaring. He could not hear any other sounds except the sound of the strong wind.
But Liu Yu did not dare to take it lightly. He made a gesture, and the cavalrymen, who had already had a tacit understanding, formed a fan in twos and twos and rushed towards the hills ahead.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Yu, Dong Ping and Zhao Kun reached the top of the low hill.
Sure enough, Liu Yu and the others, who were condescending, had seen a large group of cavalry not far away. The sound just now should be the neighing of the mounts of these cavalry.
"Are you from Baekje?"
Zhao Kun was a little surprised. He looked from a distance and found that there were fifty or sixty cavalrymen.
"There are a lot of people, what should we do?" Dong Ping asked Liu Yu.
"What are you afraid of? The surrounding area is rugged and not a flat grassland. They can't surround us." Liu Yu had thought that he might encounter the Baekje people, and he was also a cavalryman, so he was not afraid that they would catch up and beat him.
"Li Feng, take two people back to deliver the message. The others, follow me to hold back the thief."
Liu Yu shouted the order loudly
At this time, the Baekje cavalry on the opposite side had also burst into howls, and they must have been ready to launch an attack.
Sure enough, within a short while, dozens of Baekje cavalry were running towards them along the uneven mountainous terrain.
Liu Yu calmly took out the strong bow inserted on the side of the saddle, then quickly attached a wolf tooth arrow and shot it at the enemy cavalry in the front.
In just a few dozen steps, the sound of a string was almost the sound of an arrow arriving.
The Baekje cavalry had already paid attention and quickly raised the long leaf-shaped shield in his hand to protect the horse's head and himself, but the arrow still hit his mount's chest.
With a horse's neighing, the Baekje cavalry was knocked off his horse. If the cavalry behind him had not kept a distance to dodge, he would have almost tripped the horse behind him.
Seeing Liu Yu's first hit, the rest of the Donglai Army cavalry burst into loud cheers. They all admired Liu Yu's talented archery skills again and again.
In this way, Liu Yu led the guards to fight and retreat. Although the number was smaller than the Baekje cavalry, they were not at a disadvantage. The Baekje cavalry horses were not as good as the Donglai army and could not catch up. Instead, they were defeated by the Donglai cavalry relying on their excellent troops. Weapons and Armor launched two counterattacks, allowing the Baekje people to lose more than a dozen cavalry who broke away from the formation.
