Chapter 827 Unexpected

A general rushed into the tent and reported to Gao Tai: "Report to Your Majesty, the medical officer is treating General Li. According to the medical officer, General Li is no longer in danger of his life!" General Li Qingquan mentioned that the general was Li Qingquan. Today, Li Qingquan personally led the wolf army to raid the city, but the result was heavy casualties. Even he himself was seriously injured and almost died. Li Qingquan is the highest general who was killed and injured in the fierce battle today. In fact, there are as many as thirteen generals who were killed and seriously injured in the fierce battle today. Goguli was said to have done his best in this battle today, but the opponent's resilience and spirit of sacrificing their lives far exceeded the imagination of Goguli people. Both sides killed the corpses like mountains and the sky changed drastically, but Goguli people still could not break through the city.

Gao Tai looked very depressed. The loss today was much greater than his expectations. Defang hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy's resistance is indeed much greater than expected! However, after this battle, the enemy must have suffered all casualties! When we fight again tomorrow, we will definitely be able to seize Xuantu County in one fell swoop! My subordinates dare to guarantee it with their heads!"

Gao Tai frowned and nodded. Then he said angrily: "When the city is broken, I will execute Gao Qiao Lingchi! There are also those soldiers and civilians in the city who dare to resist me! I will not let them go! I want them to know that there will be a terrible price for daring to fight me!" The generals were feeling that there was nowhere to vent their evil fire. When they heard Gao Tai's words, they couldn't help but howl.

A personal soldier officer rushed in and reported to Gao Tai: "Report to Your Majesty, there is an emergency military information coming from the domestic city!" Everyone was stunned, and Gao Tai said with a strange look: "What emergency military information can there be in the domestic city?" Then he said to the officer: "Call the people in." The officer shouted and quickly walked out. Then he led an officer with a dusty and frightened expression in. When the officer saw Gao Tai, he immediately bowed: "Your Majesty is not good! Lu Bu led the army to attack along the Yalu River, and the key passes along the river fortress were successively captured! The enemy was approaching the capital quickly!"

When everyone heard this, they were as if they were bolt from the blue, and they couldn't help but be shocked. Gao Tai suddenly stood up and cursed angrily: "It's just nonsense! Lu Bu is fighting with the Japanese. How can he mobilize troops to attack my capital?"

The officer said anxiously: "The villain dares not talk nonsense! It's just because Lu Bu completely defeated the Japanese with one blow not long ago, so he was able to mobilize troops to attack the capital!"

Gao Tai felt panic when he heard the officer's words. Defang asked the officer urgently, "What is the situation now? How many soldiers are there in the enemy army? Where has the enemy's troops reached?" Everyone immediately looked at the officer, and everyone's eyes showed a very concerned expression.

The officer hurriedly said, "When the villain came over, he heard that Yalu Fort had been lost!..." Everyone was shocked and looked very panicked. Why were everyone so shocked? It turned out that Yalu Fort was located on the west bank of Yalu River, more than 150 miles southwest of the domestic city. Hunhe originated from the north and headed south here and returned to the Yalu River. This place not only has a dangerous terrain, but also because it is the gathering place of the three rivers, so the transportation status is also crucial. This Yalu Fort can be said to be a very important gateway to the south of the domestic city. Now that Yalu Fort is lost, it is equivalent to the gateway to the south of the domestic city. The situation can be said to be very serious.

Gao Tai said anxiously: "The situation is not good! You must return to help immediately!" He turned his head and shouted to Tie Yongnan: "General Tie, gather all the cavalry to help the capital immediately. We must not let our capital fall into Lu Bu's hands! This matter is of great importance!" Tie Yongnan held his fists and agreed and hurried away.

Gao Tai immediately shouted to the other generals: "The other troops will gather immediately and set out to help the capital as soon as possible." The generals responded in a coaxing manner and hurried out of the tent.

Defang clasped his fists at Gao Tai and said, "Your Majesty, what should those Han people who defect to us do?" Gao Tai suddenly glared at his eyes and shouted angrily: "At this moment, I can't care about those chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs! Don't worry about them!" "Yes!"

As the sky was dawn, Gao Qiao had already dragged his injured body to the city wall, preparing to command the military and civilians to carry out their final resistance. Seeing the sun slowly rising from the east and the earth brightened, the people on the city felt that this was the last time they saw the sunrise, and they couldn't help but feel sad. However, seeing that someone around them was willing to live and die with them, the sadness faded. People looked at each other and smiled, and everything was indifferent.

Everyone was quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy on the top of the city. However, beyond everyone's expectations, the sun had risen very high, but the expected enemy never appeared. The silence outside the city made the soldiers and civilians on the top of the city feel a little uncomfortable.

Gao Qiao did not dare to be careless and ordered the troops to be on high alert. At the same time, he sent scouts to inquire about the enemy's movements. He was worried about the enemy's conspiracy. Soon after, the scouts responded happily: "Sir, all the Gogurye people have disappeared! I think they have been withdrawn!..." Gao Qiao and others were stunned, all looking incredible. Gao Qiao asked anxiously: "Are you saying true?" The scouts hurriedly: "The villain entered their camp to check, and found that the camp was in a mess, and people had already gone to the camp! Only the people who had defected to the Gogurye people before were still in the camp. When asked, they didn't know what they asked!"

Everyone looked at each other, and a general said worriedly: "Are the Goguryeo people playing conspiracies?" Gao Qiao suddenly shook his head in joy and said: "No! The Goguryeo people suddenly retreated at this moment. There is only one possibility, that is, the lord is finally here!" He guessed that the Goguryeo people suddenly gave up the Xuantu County that was about to be captured must be because of the lord, but he thought that it was Ailang who led his army to help and made the Goguryeo outside the city.

The army had to retreat in a hurry, but did not guess that Ailang had actually threatened the capital of the Gogurye people. When the generals heard Gao Qiao's words, everyone showed a surprise expression. One of them couldn't help but shout: "Great! The lord has arrived, and we finally survived this great disaster!" Everyone was very happy, but when they thought of the brothers who had died in the past few days, they couldn't help but feel sad, and the feeling of joy was suddenly washed away.

Gao Qiao thought for a moment and ordered: "Don't relax your guard in the city, just be careful! In addition, send all scouts to investigate the enemy's movements!" The generals and officials agreed with their fists and hurried away.

At this time, a personal soldier next to Gao Qiao suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted, "Sir, look!" Gao Qiao looked up at the outside of the city. He saw countless people coming straight to this side with their families. They were the thousands of people who chose to leave Xuantu County and join Gaojuli not long ago. Gao Qiao couldn't help but frown.

Not long after, the people came outside the city gate. Looking around, there were men, women, young and old, and it was dark. Yan Hong came out and sang: "We are all Han people, please open the city gate and let us in!" The people followed suit and prayed.

The soldiers and civilians on the city were full of anger, but when they saw their appearance, their original anger was gone. Gao Qiao looked at the people under the city and frowned and said, "I can't open the city gate! You can go elsewhere!" The people outside the city were surprised, and some people couldn't help but shouted angrily: "We are all Han people, why don't you let us in?" Many people followed.

Gao Qiao did not retort, but watched them clamor. After they calmed down, he sang and said, "The day before yesterday, since you chose to leave, you are no longer Han people. I have no responsibility to help you. Besides, now is an extraordinary time. How do I know what ideas you who have defected to the Gogurye people are? Are you thinking about opening the city gate to help your master seize this city? I can't believe you, so I can't accept you." When the people outside the city heard Gao Qiao's words, they were speechless. Then they became turbulent, shouting and scolding, asking for willingness, and the voices of scolding accounted for the vast majority.

Gao Qiao said loudly: "I will not make things difficult for you because you were once Han people. You can leave immediately. If you still clamor under the city, I will treat you with the means of treating the enemy!" The people outside the city were still shouting and clamoring. Gao Qiao frowned and raised his right hand. The residents on the city immediately raised their crossbows. Seeing that they were about to act seriously, the people outside the city were frightened. The noisy figures stopped abruptly, and everyone looked silent.

Yan Hong sang to everyone, "Lu Bu's followers have always been unkind and unrighteous people, and we will not ask them anymore! Let's go to King Goguli, who holds the way of Confucius and Mencius, and is kind to us, and will definitely treat us well!" Everyone agreed, and then kept cursing Gao Qiao and others, as if Lu Bu and Gao Qiao and others had owed them countless debts. In the midst of the cursing voices, these people gradually moved away from Xuantu County and headed towards the eastward domestic city. Gao Qiao looked at the figures that were leaving, frowned tightly, and felt quite unhappy.

Not long after, Gao Qiao received an urgent report from the scout: "Sir, the enemy retreated last night, and the army went straight east to the domestic city!" Gao Qiao was very surprised.

The sight turned to Ailang. After Ailang passed the Fansan, he broke into the border of Goguli in one fell swoop and headed north along the Yalu River, as unstoppable as a storm! The Goguli people arranged seven forts along the river that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, which were vulnerable like rags and scattered. They were successively captured. Ailang led a large army to march straight in, and soon after, he broke through the important Yalu Fort! At this point, the gateway to the south of the domestic city was opened and there was no danger anymore.

It can be defended. As long as you break through the Gutu City again, you can reach the domestic city. This Gutu City is a sister city from the domestic city, and it is also a capital of the Gogutu people. It is called Nanjing by the Gogutu people. Haha, the territory of the Gogutu people is only that large, but it also established two capitals by the Han Dynasty. However, the second capital of the Gogutu people is completely different from the second capital of the Han Dynasty. It is not for management needs, but it is just an image project.

However, although it is just an image project, the construction of this Gutu City is not careless at all. All standards refer to domestic cities, which is really no less than domestic cities.

Ailang led thousands of cavalry to the front of the army. That morning, they climbed a small hill, and a tall and extraordinary city surrounded by the city walls of the river immediately caught their eyes. Ailang smiled and asked, "Is this the Gutu City?" Zhao Yue, who was responsible for the guidance of Ailang, nodded immediately and said, "This is the Nanjing of Gogutu. It is said that the queen of Gogutu, Wang Wei, was responsible for guarding Nanjing." Ailang waved his hand and led the cavalry straight to Gogutu City.
