Chapter 39 Goguryeo Cavalry
Youzhou City, whose administrative seat is Ji County, is located at the northern end of the Tang Empire. There are nomadic groups such as Xi, Khitan, and Shiwei in the north, the old Turkic tribes in the homeland of East Turks in the west, and Goguryeo, Mohe, Silla, Baekje and other countries in the east. .
Among them, except for the Silla Kingdom on the Korean Peninsula, which was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, the other ethnic groups were ready to make moves.
Especially Goguryeo, the strongest country in the Northeast, was a serious concern for the Tang Empire.
At this time, the person in charge of the military power in Youzhou was the famous Tang general Cheng Zhijie, who was also Cheng Chuli¡¯s father, Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Yaojin was ordered by Li Shimin to control seven states including Youying. However, in the face of Goguryeo's aggressive offensive, Cheng Yaojin had been on the defensive. Goguryeo harassed the border from time to time, plundering people and cattle and sheep, and the people in the border areas of the Tang Dynasty suffered. Unspeakable.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made three eastward expeditions to Goguryeo, and Youzhou was a place where grain and grass were stored.
?Blue sky, white clouds, green grass.
Fifty miles west of Ji County, Li Zhen and his party of more than a hundred people were walking on the road. Along the way, they saw the wind blowing and the grass was low, which made them feel relaxed and happy.
In one day¡¯s work, you can reach Jixian County, the seat of Youzhou. This is already a mixed agricultural and animal husbandry area, with fields and pastures. When you see the endless grassland in the distance, everyone is in a good mood.
"Your Highness, there is a village ahead, why don't we go to the village to have a rest." Xue Rengui asked Li Zhen.
"good."
Li Zhen looked towards the village in the distance and saw about a hundred households in the village. Near the village was a farmland, and to the north of the farmland was a green pasture.
Everyone was walking towards the village, and when they were more than a thousand meters away from the village, Li Zhen raised her hand and everyone stopped.
Li Ruyi on the side asked in surprise: "Your Highness, why don't you leave?"
Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "Something is wrong."
"Why are there so many eagles hovering in the sky? Besides, it's already afternoon and it's time to cook, but why is there no smoke anywhere in the village?"
"Ready to fight!"
Everyone became nervous and surrounded Li Zhen as they headed towards the village.
As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the village, a strong smell of blood hit us, and we saw the corpse of a villager lying in the canyon at the entrance of the village. A group of eagles surrounded the corpse, pecking at the corpse.
Nina dismounted, looked on the ground, picked up the horse dung on the ground, broke it open, and then said to Li Zhen in a solemn voice: "There are a lot of horse hoof prints here. There should be more than one person who committed the crime, and they were all riding horses. Horse dung It's done, which means they have been away for at least ten hours."
Li Zhen whispered: "Be careful, enter the village."
Everyone walked towards the center of the village. Along the way, they saw corpses scattered everywhere. Especially in the center of the village, there were hundreds of corpses of villagers lying on the ground. Each corpse had its head chopped off. Hundreds of eagles were surrounding the corpse, pecking at it, which made people sick to watch.
"Beast!"
Nina took out the short bow on her back and shot several arrows, killing three or four eagles. The remaining eagles were frightened and flew up one after another, but they lingered in the air and could not leave.
"snort!"
Xue Rengui took the Yangyouji bow given to him by Li Zhen and drew the bow and set the arrow.
"Whoosh!"
With one arrow shot, two eagles were shot through at the same time.
Killing two eagles with one stone! Everyone couldn't help but secretly praise him, saying that Xue Rengui was really great.
Li Zhen jumped off the horse and asked everyone to search for anyone alive.
After a while, a guard found a boy about thirteen or fourteen years old from underneath a dry well and brought him to Li Zhen.
Li Zhen asked the young man softly: "What is going on?"
The boy cried and said that a group of Goguryeo people had attacked their village, killed all the people in the village, took away all the villagers' food rations, and kidnapped dozens of girls. In the whole village, only the boy was found guilty of hiding in a dry well. Only then did he escape death.
After listening to the young man¡¯s words, Li Zhengang gritted his teeth. This place was not far from Jixian County, the seat of Youzhou, but he did not expect that he would be attacked by aliens. This shows how rampant these aliens have become.
The young man gritted his teeth and said: "Over the years, the Goguryeo people have often crossed the border to burn, kill and loot. The government is completely powerless. You should leave quickly, otherwise if these Goguryeo people come back, no one will survive."
While he was talking, he felt the ground shaking.
"Buzz"
"Buzz"The tremors became more and more intense, as if a mountain was falling apart.
Li Zhen was startled, and she climbed up a small mound with Xue Rengui and looked northeast. They saw heavy dust rising in the northeast, and a black line appeared at the intersection of heaven and earth.
This black line is getting thicker and thicker, getting closer and closer, and gradually turns into countless small black dots.
£«
The small black dot kept moving forward, gradually getting bigger, and finally I could see it clearly! There were countless cavalrymen galloping forward with their sabers waving in their forehands.
"Your Highness! They are cavalry from a foreign race!" Xue Rengui said sharply.
Li Zhen¡¯s face darkened. There were so many foreign cavalry. It looked like there were at least two or three thousand cavalry. They were huge. How did Cheng Yaojin manage to let a large number of foreign cavalry penetrate deep into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty?
"You two, take people to Jixian County immediately to ask for help. The rest of you, follow me to defend the village!"
Li Zhen ordered two guards to go find reinforcements with their own talismans, and then observed the terrain of the village. It was surrounded by plains. If he escaped now, he would probably be overtaken by foreign cavalry. With more than a hundred of his own Humans, facing thousands of foreign cavalry, would have no chance of surviving.
It is better to use the terrain of this village to hold on and wait for reinforcements to arrive. After all, this is the land of the Tang Dynasty. The foreign cavalry can come to harass them, but if they are to stay in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, they may not have the courage!
More importantly, Li Zhen came to Youzhou to revitalize the Tang Dynasty, to show off his power in foreign lands, and to protect the people from the misfortune of foreign races. Now he happened to encounter these foreign races, how could he escape like this? ?
¡°Everyone get on the wall!¡±
In order to prevent harassment from foreigners, most villages in border areas have earthen walls built around the village. This village is no exception. There are three or four-meter-high earthen walls built around the village. There are crenels on the wall, and there are even some village guards. Big rocks.
This village was obviously suddenly attacked by aliens. Without time to defend, the aliens attacked and massacred the village. However, the surrounding earthen walls can now be used to defend against the alien cavalry.
Li Zhen stood on the wall and looked into the distance. Amidst the flying dust, thousands of foreign cavalry were rushing toward the village. At the front was a large red flag of Goryeo.
Xue Rengui quickly said to Li Zhen: "Your Highness, please come down from the city wall. It is too dangerous here."
Li Zhen laughed loudly and said: "I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and I should be with you!"
In fact, Li Zhen also knew that there was danger on the city wall, but he also understood that the number of people under his command was small and the people's hearts were unstable. If he left, there was a possibility of collapse.
And as long as you are on the city wall, you can let everyone know that you, the prince, are with them, which will greatly boost everyone's morale. Only in this way can you hold on to the village until reinforcements arrive.
"Ding! The side mission: Defeat the Goguryeo Cavalry is activated. The host must persist until reinforcements arrive before completing the mission and receiving rewards." A system prompt sounded in Li Zhen's mind (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel .com - Didn't finish reading?
