Heavy snowfall fell from the sky, and the cattle and sheep of the grassland tribes starved to death and froze to death, and many grassland people also froze to death.
For the sake of the continuation of the race, they can only choose to go south, but the south is a land with masters, and if they want to come to the south to survive, conflict is inevitable.
Goguryeo itself was not a wealthy country, and was invaded by the Wuhuan and Fuyu tribes all the year round, and had to pay tribute to Shu every year to seek refuge.
Baekje and Samhan to the south of it are not convinced by it As the king of Goguryeo, Yi Sunchang said that he was helpless It's not that he doesn't act, but that Goguryeo's geographical location and national strength don't match, and their strength is not weak, but they are not strong.
This time, if it weren't for the order of the Shu Emperor to resist the invasion of the steppe people together with the countries on the peninsula, they would not have been stabbed in Goguryeo by Baekje and Samhan.
In the depths of his heart, Li Shunchang was very grateful to Wu Shun, and learned that Wu Shun would personally conquer, and he, the king of Goguryeo, was looking forward to it every day, waiting for the Shu army to kill these hungry wolves on the grassland Wu Shun did not know that anyone was looking forward to his arrival, and under his order, the Shu army rested in Biansai for two days, and only entered Goguryeo in good spirits on the third day.
All the way to the east, Wu Shun saw the tragic and dilapidated villages of Goguryeo that had been invaded, and with the white snowfield, it looked desolate and bleak.
On the cleared road, bones were everywhere, at first it was full of bones, and I didn't know whether it was animal bones or human bones, but gradually I walked inside, only to find some frozen and broken corpses.
Even Wu Shun, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but sigh when he saw the tragic situation of Goguryeo, fortunately, there was a Xuanwu army stationed in the north, so that the hungry wolves of the grassland did not dare to act easily.
If such a tragic situation happened in the north of Shu, Wu Shun would not forgive himself, let alone those who started it.
"Your Majesty, Goguryeo has suffered heavy losses this time, and I don't know where the grassland tribes have attacked, and whether the Goguryeo royal city is still there."
Xu Shu said.
As long as Goguryeo can hold the royal city and hold out until the Shu army arrives, they will have a chance for revenge.
When the Shu army was marching, the various tribes of the steppe were concentrating their forces to attack the royal city of Goguryeo.
Fortunately, the steppe people are not good at siege battles, and now it is winter, there is a shortage of siege equipment, and the soldiers are bloated, which is not conducive to siege operations.
For the sake of Goguryeo, Li Shunchang has personally commanded the city wall, and his current hope is all pinned on the arrival of the Shu army.
Although this is an uncertain wish, it is more reliable than Baekje and Samhan.
The soldiers and horses of Baekje Samhan were killed by the steppe people for a while, lost some, and directly coaxed them and retreated back to their country, regardless of the life or death of Goguryeo.
Li Shunchang was very speechless about this, these countries ignored the will of the emperor of Shu and insisted on waiting for him to repel the hungry wolves of the steppe, and they must go to their complaint From morning to night, the steppe tribes were unable to break through the Goguryeo royal fortress with a very large number of soldiers, so they had to suspend their attacks and discuss other effective methods.
The food looted in Goguryeo could not last long, and if there were not enough supplies, how could they face the powerful Shu army Before the arrival of the Shu army, they must capture the royal city of Goguryeo and rely on it to fight the Shu army In the icy and snowy environment, the supply of the Shu army is also inconvenient, as long as they have the city as a support, they can temporarily form a confrontation with the Shu army.
When the time comes, you can also try to negotiate and get some useful things from Shu, such as food and charcoal.
The next day, the steppe tribes continued to launch a fierce offensive against the Goguryeo royal city, and the Goguryeo army and civilians desperately defended the city, suffering heavy casualties It was noon, and the tribes of the grassland were killing red, and suddenly there was movement behind them When they saw a black and oppressive Shu army behind them, the grassland people panicked When the principals of the various tribes in the grassland saw that the Shu army had arrived, they immediately stopped attacking the city and turned their heads to prepare to fight the Shu army Li Shunchang was so excited that he burst into tears when he saw that the Shu army had finally arrived, and he wanted to order the city gate to be opened and killed, but he was persuaded by his ministers.
The Shu army and the grassland hungry wolf have not yet decided the winner, and it is not good to go out rashly, in case the grassland people suddenly turn their heads and attack the city, they will normally not be able to stop them when they open the city gate.
The two armies confronted each other, and Wu Shun could clearly feel the crazy desire to kill of the grassland cavalry, and their red eyes told Wu Shun that they were not afraid of the Shu army at the moment.
Unlike the steppe cavalry, the Shu army only drove in after recuperating and recuperating, and compared with the steppe people who had been fighting for many days, they were full of physical strength and full of energy As for the desire to kill, the soldiers of the Shu army are also crazy.
"Praetorian Dragon Spear Guard" "Kirin cavalry, ready to charge" Before charging, Wu Shun wanted to see the power of the two thousand dragon spear guards The dragon gunners were ordered to take up a position in front of the formation and began to load the projectiles, which they divided into three rows, using a three-stage fire When they finished shooting, they had to retreat and make way for the guards, and at the same time, the unicorn cavalry on the left and right flanks of the Praetorian guards were dispatched to fight with the cavalry of the various tribes of the steppe.
The Shu army arrived, but did not attack at the first time, but fiddled with something in front of the formation.
The grassland people didn't have much patience, they let the Shu army make something terrible, and when the cavalry lined up the array, they launched a charge before the charge, in order to improve morale, they also shouted to capture the emperor of Shu alive.
Wu Shun Old God calculated the distance freely, the arquebus in the hands of the dragon lancer guard has a limited range, and it can only cause a lot of damage when the enemy comes over and pulls the trigger.
The enemy is getting closer and closer, and the battle formation of the Shu army is quiet "Dragon Guard, prepare" "Hit" The enemy entered the effective firing range, and Wu Shun decisively ordered "Bang" "Bang" "Bang" The three-stage burst was completed at a breakneck speed The front of the steppe cavalry that was charging was instantly knocked down by hundreds of people, and hundreds more were wounded and fell off their horses.
The entire front of the steppe cavalry was hit by a shot from the dragon spear guard, and the momentum of the charge was directly gone.
"Praetorian Guard Kirin Cavalry Killing" Wu Shun gave the order, and with a wave of the flag, the two cavalry were killed at the same time The predecessor of the Praetorian Guard, the Guard's Battalion, belonged to the heavy cavalry formation, and the charge was huge, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the sky The Qilin cavalry on both wings belonged to the light cavalry, which was fast, and together with the Praetorian Guards, slowly formed an inverted triangle formation, which was slow to surround the steppe cavalry The Goguryeo people on the city wall, you can clearly see the movements of the Shu army starting from the charge of the steppe cavalry, the Shu army was motionless and suddenly there was a bang, and the front of the steppe cavalry was in chaos Then the cavalry of the Shu army came out of the battle, and the momentum made Li Shunchang's blood boil "This is the power of the suzerain, this is the majesty of the suzerain, Goguryeo has been saved," Li Shunchang said happily in his heart.
Outside the city, the two cavalry collided together, there was no evenly matched situation, just contacted, the Shu army guards under the command of Qu A, just like a tank, rushed the formation of the grassland cavalry to pieces, and the Qilin cavalry under the command of Zhao Yun interspersed back and forth to strangle the enemy:
