"Be careful, keep your formation! Don't get distracted!"

"Everything cheers me up!"

"Where is the cloth strip? Why didn't you wrap the cloth strip around the pole? After a while, it was stained with sweat and blood could not grasp the spear. Do you want to kill the enemy with your fists?"

Amid the screams, he straightened his head and looked around. He saw people everywhere. He looked up at the sky, but saw that the sun was about to come to the top of his head. In a blink of an eye, it was almost noon, and the battle had not long been around.

I ate dry food in the early morning. Although I tried a lot at that time, I couldn't hold on for the afternoon at all, so it was best to finish this battle before I could use up my strength.

He was stabbed in the left rib, but he turned to look at it, but it was his companion Yu Amao.

"Hey, if the situation is not good later, we have to know more..." Yu Amao said in a low voice, only two people could hear the voice. At the end, Yu Amao made a gesture.

He understood the gesture, which meant to escape. This word cannot be said now, otherwise he would be unlucky.

But what the other party said made sense. Today's battle would definitely not be easy. After the loud noises in the north just now, the huge smoke pillars rushed straight into the sky, making people frightened. I don't know how many comrades were dead under the smoke.

The enemy is very powerful. Although there are many officials, it is still a matter of whether they can fight or not...

While thinking about it, there was a fire flashing in the wilderness ahead, a distance of about a mile and a distance between the enemy troops.

Before he could react, he saw Yu Amao in front of him suddenly disappear from his chest.

No, my arms were still there, but my neck and my head disappeared, replaced by a chest cavity spraying with blood, as if I had been bitten by something, and I didn't even say a word, and it was gone.

His face was covered with hot liquid, and thunder sounded in his ears.

"boom!!"

"Crack!!"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Zhong Xiaowu shouted and struggled. Yu Amao's headless corpse waved his arms and rushed towards him. He kept retreating, trying to avoid the corpse that was splattering blood.

Suddenly, his hands were held down, and he couldn't move. He shouted and opened his eyes, and found that there was a thatched roof in his sight.

I am surrounded by my uncle and around me...

He was in the room, not in the battlefield.

"Crack!!"

An explosion came from outside, which scared Zhong Xiaowu so much that he shivered, as if he had returned to that day. On the battlefield, his companion, Yu Amao's chest disappeared from above, leaving only a blood-squirting chest cavity.

His uncle and several others held him down. After a while, Zhong Xiaowu came to his senses and found that the sound from outside was thunder. Not long after, the drizzle of rain sounded.

Zhong Xiaowu was sweating all over. Seeing that he woke up, the others left the room one after another. The uncle comforted him a few words and walked out of the room.

Zhong Xiaowu sat blankly on the couch, thinking about the scenes that were unbearable to look back on. He and his companions had returned to Pyongyang safely, but they could not forget what happened that day.

The fire flashed, the thunder sounded, and the companions next to him instantly shattered, blood splattered on his body, the military formation was shattered, and there were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and the broken body spraying blood.

Although everyone had killed people and saw bloody warriors, such a tragic situation still terrified everyone. The enemy's attack nearly one mile away caused heavy casualties.

The iron armor he wore was almost the same as the cloth, and he couldn't defend himself at all. Even with the shield, the shield was smashed to pieces.

Thunder kept ringing, and people around him kept dying, and as soon as they died, there were a large area. The head and chest were constantly shattering, and blood was constantly spraying, which scared the survivors such as Zhong Xiaowu to their heads blank.

They fled with the crowd in a daze, were captured in a daze, and then lined up to get the cooked cakes and left with the crowd in a daze.

I don’t know how long it took to sleep in the open, but I returned to Pyongyang in a daze, met my family, and then burst into tears.

Zhong Xiaowu can't forget the tragic situation that day, and so do others. Most of the soldiers who survived the Battle of Sashui will tremble when they return to Pyongyang whenever there is a sudden movement in their ears.

Many people have nightmares every night, dreaming of bloody limbs and broken arms.

Now, when the thunder sounded, Zhong Xiaowu was so scared that he shivered all over. He didn't have the courage to face the enemy's terrifying weapon. If he could, he would not want to go to the battlefield again.

He didn't know if he would have such good luck to survive if he was in the military formation again.

Perhaps, the body would be torn apart by that terrifying weapon, just like Yu Amao.

As he thought about it, his body trembled involuntarily. Zhong Xiaowu covered his face with his hands and started crying in a low voice.

......

It was raining heavily, and the world was dark. In the palace of Pyongyang City, Goguryeo King Gao Yuan stood under the corridor, quietly watching the water curtains under the eaves, motionless, as if he was possessed by a demon. No one on the left and right dared to say a word.

Since the defeat in Sashui came, Gao Yuan's temper became irritable. The palace maids were beaten to death if they were a little bit wrong. In the past few days, there have been twenty palace maids who died of unfaithful deaths.

Everyone knows that the king is in a bad mood, so they are all silent and cautious when acting, for fear of angering the queen's life.

The defeated General Yizhi fled back to Pyongyang and knelt in front of the palace gate waiting for the king to deal with it. When everyone thought that the king would definitely kill General Yizhi, the king personally whipped the other party thirty whips and then made him commit crimes and make meritorious.

But the mere palace servants do not have the status of General Yizhi, so everyone can only be careful and save their lives.

Gao Yuan had no idea about his thoughts, and he had no intention of thinking about them. After Sashui's defeat, the elite official army suffered heavy casualties, which was a huge blow to him.

During that battle, although the Zhou army did not kill the prisoners, they even released the prisoners back. During this period, there were tens of thousands of soldiers returning to Pyongyang, but Gao Yuan knew that the official army could not withstand the Zhou army's attack in the field.

The opponent has a powerful weapon that can easily break through the military formation at a distance of one mile. Then even if he gathers a large army to fight with the opponent, he will inevitably be defeated.

The only way is to rely on the strong city of Pyongyang to confront the enemy and spend it until winter.

But Gao Yuan didn't know whether he could last until that time. Fortunately, the storm came, and the heavy rain that lasted for several days made Zhou Jun stop on the banks of the Sashui River.

The Zhou army navy, who was wandering in the waters outside the mouth of the Wushui River, had long disappeared due to the arrival of heavy rain.

Gao Yuan had no idea whether these Zhou army warships were destroyed during the storm at sea, or whether they returned to the port in advance to avoid the wind and rain. They only knew that the threat in the direction of the water was lifted. It was the rainy season at present. As long as the wind and rain continued, at least the Zhou army could not cross the sea and invaded Pyongyang through the water.

If this is the case, the Zhou army entrenched in Sashui would at least not enter directly under the city of Pyongyang without restraint. Then the situation will not be without room for recovery.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan was a little irritated. Since Goguryeo established his country, it has not been defeated by the enemy, nor has it been forced into a desperate situation, but they have been stubbornly stubbornly. This time, they should be able to survive...?

He didn't know that because Zhou State was a strong opponent, unlike previous enemies, Zhou State's army could use troops from both sea and land, making it difficult for one's own side to defend.

And the opponent has a powerful weapon in his hands, and it is difficult for his own side to confront each other head-on, whether in field battles or attacks.

Such an enemy cannot be defeated by head-on battles, so you can only find a way to endure it. Maybe until winter, the other party will withdraw.

But how should we deal with it next year?

In recent years, the Zhou Kingdom has invaded many years, which has greatly declined. Gao Yuan watched the country decline and was so anxious that he could not do anything. At present, the other party could face the city of Pyongyang at any time. If there was any slight disturbance, he would be shocked to sleep and eat.

This feeling of suffering is not good, so I have to find a way to solve it.

Gao Yuan decided to send envoys to the Zhou army camp to seek peace, and put on an attitude of "begging for surrender", which made the generals of the Zhou army dare not be self-centered and asked for instructions from Chang'an. In this way, time passed without realizing it.

He wants to delay time as much as possible until the beginning of winter, and then he will wait until the year is ready.
