Chapter 553: Soldiers Approaching the City

Anhu City surrendered, Liu Yi left 100,000 troops to guard Anhu City, and at the same time selected the elite Goguryeo defenders in Anhu City to join the ranks of servants.

But the leader of this group of servants is not Gao Baqi, but Gao Lingnan, the second son of Gao Yanqing. The reason why the second son led the army was because the eldest son, Gao Qifeng, was a diehard. After Gao Yanqing's death, he intended to continue to resist, but was killed by his younger brother himself!

Leaving Anhu City, Liu Yi led 300,000 Pingzhou Army and 250,000 Goguryeo Servant Army to the inner city.

And Xu Huang also cleaned up the battlefield, leaving 50,000 troops to guard the prisoners. After joining forces with Liu Yi, they directly attacked the domestic city.

Three days later, the forward of the Pingzhou Army appeared under the inner city, and the inner city was in chaos!

Gao Yanyou never thought of relying on Du Boqing to defend Anhu City. His original plan was to delay time, but who knew that Du Boqing would be such a waste. The defense force of the domestic city is extremely empty.

Now there are 200,000 veterans in the domestic city, more than 100,000 newly recruited troops, and more than 400,000 reinforcements from various places, making a total of 800,000 troops.

However, Gao Yanyou has no confidence in whether the domestic city can be held.

Of the 800,000 troops, only the 200,000 veterans have real combat effectiveness. Whether it is the newly recruited army or the reinforcements from various places, they are all miscellaneous cards, and their combat effectiveness is so low that it makes people cry.

The incompetence of the mob was fully demonstrated in Xu Huang's previous battle, and Gao Yanyou didn't feel that he was much better than Du Boqing at all.

Although the Pingzhou army has not attacked the city yet, the entire domestic city is in chaos, and no one has the confidence to defend the domestic city!

In the palace of Goguryeo, Gao Yanyou was looking at the mysterious man in black with bloodshot eyes.

"King of the mountain, have you decided?"

Although the man in black called Gao Yanyou the king of the mountain, his face showed no respect for the king!

"You, what is the difference between you and the Han people? You are all wolves! You are all eating the flesh of our Goguryeo!" Gao Yanyou looked at the man angrily, hissing.

"Of course there is a difference. The Han people regard you as barbarians, but we will treat you as brothers. Presumably the king on the mountain has already understood that we have regarded Goguryeo as our own for generations, and the Han people are different. In their eyes, Goguryeo is no matter what. Yi Di, is the target that needs to be exterminated!"

"Of course the king can choose to surrender to the Han people, but has the king considered what will happen after the surrender? Has the king heard about the fate of the Wuhuan people? In terms of relationship, the relationship between the Wuhuan people and the Han people is comparable to that of Goguryeo. They are much closer, the Wuhuan people have been the dogs of the Han people for three hundred years, and they will be destroyed if they are said to be extinct, does the king think that Goguryeo will end better than the Wuhuan people?"

"do not talk!"

Gao Yanyou suddenly yelled, directly interrupting the man in black's seduction.

"Hey hey, besides, don't you think it's too late to surrender to the Han people now, my lord? Your elder brother Gao Baqi is the king of Dongchuan proclaimed by the Han people. Your sister-in-law is also secretly contacting the Han people. The ministers in your court have How much double-mindedness, you don’t know, my lord, right? It’s too late for you to be a dog for the Han people!” The man in black ignored Gao Yanyou’s anger at all, and taunted him unscrupulously.

Gao Yanyou's eyes were bloodshot, he stared at the man in black with murderous eyes, raised his hand several times, trying to call the guards. The man in black was not afraid, and boldly looked at Gao Yanyou!

After a while, Gao Yanyou sighed suddenly, and sat slumped on the throne. He felt ten years older in an instant, and said in a low voice, "Can you really keep your promise?"

The man in black also breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a loud voice: "Of course, in our history, the king has always been our ancestor. As long as the king is willing to cooperate, you will always be our king on the mountain. Respected General Park, you are very talented, Playing all the top three powerful countries in the world in the palm of your hand, who else can have such pride and wisdom except General Park?"

Mentioning Pu Yin, the man in black immediately blushed,

With an excited look, he said while dancing.

Gao Yanyou took a deep look at the man in black, and said resignedly: "I will give you whatever you want, and I don't want any king of the mountain anymore. As long as I can be rich for a lifetime, I will be satisfied!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the position of King of the Mountain will always be yours, and it will always belong to the Gao family. No one can deprive you of it. General Park has a broad heart that no one can match in the world. The general's ambition is also Not just a mere Korean peninsula can be satisfied. The general is waiting to fight openly with the king of the mountain!"

Gao Yanyou looked a little better when he heard the words, nodded and said: "I have admired Mr. Xuyang for a long time, and now it is my luck to be able to work under Mr. Xuyang!"

"Also ask the king on the mountain to rely on the strong city to resist the Han people as much as possible, consume the enemy's strength, and at the same time buy time for the general's plan!"

"This is what it should be, and Xiao Wang will definitely do it with all his might!"

……………………………

The Pingzhou army was stationed less than fifty miles away from the domestic city, and the city wall of the domestic city could be seen from a high place.

"Marshal, the terrain of the domestic city is very dangerous. The city wall is 30 meters high and is made of black steel rock. There are three mountains in the east, west, and north respectively: Longshan, Qixingshan, and Yushan. The terrain is extremely dangerous. Only the south can be deployed by the army. However, the south is the key defense area of ​​the false king Gao Yanyou, and more than half of the troops in the domestic city are stationed on the south wall, so it is extremely difficult to attack by force!"

The man in white who appeared in Yu's harem before was neither male nor female, and the man in white called Qinghong whispered beside Liu Yi.

Originally, according to Yu Shi's intention, Qinghong was sent to Xiangping to meet Shang Ji with a heavy gift. However, Qinghong was very unlucky. Not long after leaving the domestic city, he was targeted by all-pervasive rangers and strangers.

After several twists and turns, Qinghong himself was unable to go through the occupied areas to Xiangping, so he directly revealed his identity and visited Liu Yi, claiming that the Yu family was deceived by Gao Yanyou, and now he has repented and is willing to help the army of the Celestial Dynasty to suppress the puppet king Gao Yan excellent.

"King Dongchuan, is what Qinghong said wrong?"

Liu Yi glanced at Gao Baqi with a half-smile, and asked loudly.

Gao Baqi quickly adjusted his expression, squeezed out a smile and said, "Returning to Commander, what Qing Hong said is basically correct, but Xiao Wang knows a secret way to attack the inner city from Longshan, which can help Master Wang to put down the rebellion!"

Qing Hong's expression changed immediately when he heard the words, and he said urgently: "Commander, Gao Baqi is plotting something wrong, intending to assassinate Wang Shi's heavenly soldiers, please investigate clearly!"

"Monster, don't be bloody. I am loyal to the commander-in-chief and the heaven, but you, as the bodyguard of the temptress, I think you are the spy sent by Gao Yanyou!"

"Gao Baqi, the secret way you are talking about is the Longshan secret way, right? This secret way is not a secret among the royal family of Goguryeo. The false king Gao Yanyou already knew about it! How could Gao Yanyou not take precautions? You offer this secret way at this time , isn’t it intended to assassinate Wang Shi’s Heavenly Soldiers?”

"This... I... I am..."

Qinghong's language was sharp, and Gao Ba was rendered speechless with a few words.

But Gao Baqi knew whose thigh he needed to hug, so he knelt down in front of Liu Yi with a thud, wept bitterly and said: "Shangjun Rong, Xiao Wang wholeheartedly hopes that Master Wang can settle the rebellion, but he was negligent and almost harmed Master Wang." Heavenly Soldiers, please be punished by the Commander!"

Liu Yi helped Gao Baqi who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a gentle voice, "The king of Dongchuan is worried about the situation of the battle, so he must be negligent. What is his fault?"

Gao Baqi took advantage of the situation and got up, thanked Liu Yi a thousand times, and finally gave Qinghong a provocative look to let him know who is the real big brother!

"Qinghong, as the queen of Goguryeo, is Yu able to send someone to join us inside and outside to open the city gate and welcome the king into the city?"

"Master Rong Rong, now the inner city is under martial law, and the villain has lost contact with the queen, and the internal and external cooperation is only more than enough!"

"Huh, after all, you are just talkative. For the great cause of Wang Shi, this king personally took risks to persuade Anhu City to surrender, and asked you to open the city gate to welcome Wang Shi into the city. You are just like mothers-in-law. Commander, I think this Qinghong You and the demon queen are nothing but fools, and have no intention of really helping Master Wang at all!"

"Okay, both of you are friends of my Pingzhou Army. From now on, the governance of Goguryeo will depend on you. Remember not to do stupid things like relatives hurting enemies!" Liu Yi waved his hand and interrupted their tearing.

"Yes, I would like to follow the commander-in-chief's instruction!" The two said quickly.

"After many days of wartime twists and turns, you two have worked hard, so let's go down and rest first."

"Xiao Wang (subject) resigns!"

Looking at the backs of the two going away, Liu Yi chuckled, and said to Gongsun Du next to him: "Take care of them, but there is a change that will kill you without mercy!"

"The final general obeys the order!"

Looking at the dangerous terrain of the domestic city in the distance, Liu Yi also frowned. The terrain surrounded by mountains on three sides made it more difficult to siege the city. If there is a strong attack, the casualties will be very high. This is something Liu Yi cannot accept.

Sighing, Liu Yi took out a strange book, and with a few taps, a three-dimensional virtual image of the domestic city appeared in the air.

In order to help the eldest brother capture Goguryeo as soon as possible, Shang Ji spared no effort to support him.

Luoshu temporarily lent such external equipment to Liu Yi. Liu Yi stared at the virtual boundary displayed by Luoshu, observing with a solemn expression, trying to find a flaw in the city that could capture the domestic city very quickly.

Looking at it, Liu Yi's brows gradually relaxed. Surrounding the mountains on three sides is of course beneficial to the defensive side, but it also creates an extremely complicated geographical environment.

There are many hidden trails that even people in the domestic city don't know about, let alone defending them!

This wasn't a problem at first, after all, it was almost impossible for the siege party to know about the secret passage that the locals didn't know about. However, Luo Shu can easily scan and present these hidden paths.

After a short period of time, Liu Yi discovered several secret roads in the mountains and forests that could be used.

After a while, Liu Yi closed Luoshu, and carefully put Luoshu into the Sumina ring. He waved to the guards beside him and said, "Go back to the camp and inform all the generals to come to the commander's tent to hold a military meeting!"
