Chapter 1118: The power of the suzerain
Blizzards fell from the sky, and countless cattle and sheep from various tribes on the grassland starved to death, and many people on the grassland also froze to death.
In order to continue their race, they had to choose to go south, but there were main places in the south. If they wanted to come to the south to survive, conflicts were inevitable.
Goguryeo itself is not a rich country. It has been attacked by Wuhuan and Fuyu tribes all year round. It has to pay tribute to Shu and seek protection every year. Baekje and Sanhan in the south are not convinced!
As the king of Goguryeo, Li Shunchang said that he was helpless!
It was not because he was inaction, but because Goguryeo's geographical location was not in line with national strength. They were not weak but not much stronger.
If the Emperor of Shu had not issued an order to the peninsula, the countries on the peninsula would have resisted the invasion of the grassland people. Maybe they would have been stabbed by Baekje and Sanhan.
Deep down, Li Shunchang was very grateful to Wu Shun. When he learned that Wu Shun was going to fight in person, he, the king of Goguryeo, was looking forward to it every day, waiting for the Shu army to arrive and kill all the hungry wolves on the grassland!
Wu Shun didn't know that someone was looking forward to his arrival. Under his order, the Shu army happily rested in the border for two days, and then entered Goguryeo with energy on the third day.
Going eastward, Wu Shun saw the tragic situation of Goguryeo being attacked! The broken village, paired with this vast white snow field, looks desolate and bleak.
On the road cleared, corpses were everywhere, and at first they were all bones! I don’t know whether it was animal bones or human bones, but gradually I walked inside and found some frozen broken corpses.
Even Wu Shun, who was used to the big scenes, couldn't help but sigh when he saw the tragic situation of Goguryeo. Fortunately, the Xuanwu Legion was stationed in the north, which made the hungry wolf on the grassland dare not take action easily.
If such a tragic situation occurred in the north of Shu Kingdom, Wu Shun would not forgive himself, let alone those who started the culprit.
"Your Majesty, Goguryeo has suffered heavy losses this time. 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 defend the royal city and persevere until the Shu army arrives, they will have a chance to take revenge.
When the Shu army was marching, all ethnic groups on the grassland were concentrating their forces to attack the Goguryeo royal city. Fortunately, the grassland people were not good at siegeing cities. Now it is winter again, and the siege equipment is short of siege equipment and the soldiers wear bloated, which is not conducive to siege battles.
For Goguryeo, Li Shunchang had personally stepped up to the city wall to command. All his hopes are entrusted to the arrival of the Shu army.
Although this is an undetermined wish, it is more reliable than Baekje and Sanhanlai.
The troops of Baekje Sanhan were killed by the grassland people for a while, and they lost some of them, and they were directly cowardly and retracted back to their country, and from then on, they did not care about Goguryeo's life or death.
Li Shunchang was speechless about this. These countries ignored the will of the Emperor of Shu and insisted on their own! When he defeated the hungry wolf on the grassland, he must sue them!
From morning to evening, soldiers who lost a lot of money to the grassland tribes were unable to break through the Goguryeo royal city. They had to suspend the attack and discuss other effective methods.
The food they snatched in Goguryeo won't last long. If there were not enough supplies, how could they face the powerful Shu army?
Before the arrival of the Shu army, they must seize the royal city of Goguryeo and use this as a support to fight against the Shu army!
In the snowy environment, the supply of the Shu army is not convenient. As long as they have city walls as a support, they can temporarily confront the Shu army.
At that time, you can also try negotiating and obtain useful things from Shu Kingdom, such as food and charcoal.
The next day, the grassland tribes continued to launch a fierce offensive against the Goguryeo royal city, and the Goguryeo military and civilians fought to the death to defend the city, with heavy casualties!
It was noon, and the grassland tribes were jealous of killing each other, and suddenly there was movement behind them!
When they saw a dark Shu army appearing behind them, the grassland people panicked!
When the heads of all ethnic groups in the grassland saw that the Shu army was coming, they immediately stopped siege and turned to prepare to fight with the Shu army!
When Li Shunchang saw that the Shu army finally arrived, he was so excited that he burst into tears. He wanted to order the city gate to open and fight out, but his ministers persuaded him to stop.
The Shu army and the grassland hungry wolf have not yet decided on the outcome, so it is not good to go out rashly! If the grassland people suddenly turn around and attack the city, they can't stop them from opening the city gate.
…………
When the two armies confronted each other, Wu Shun could clearly feel the crazy desire to kill the grassland cavalry! Their red eyes told Wu Shun that they were not afraid of the Shu army at this moment.
Unlike the grassland cavalry, the Shu army only drove in after raising their energy. Compared with the grassland people who had been fighting for many days, they were full of energy and energetic!
As for the desire to kill, the soldiers of the Shu army were also crazy.
"Imperial Guard! Dragon Guard! Arrangement!"
"Qilin Cavalry, prepare to charge!"
Before charging, Wu Shun wanted to see the power of the two thousand dragon gun guards!
The Dragon Guard received the order and set up a formation in front of the formation and began to load the projectiles! They were divided into three rows and used three-stage shooting!
When they completed their shooting, they had to retreat and make way for the guards! At the same time, the Qilin cavalry on the left and right wings of the guards were dispatched to fight against the cavalry of all races in the grassland.
The Shu army arrived, but did not launch an attack immediately, but instead fiddled with something in front of the formation.
The grassland people didn't have much patience. They asked the Shu army to make something terrible, and launched a charge when the cavalry were lined up! Before the charge, in order to increase morale, they shouted to capture the Emperor of Shu alive.
Wu Shun Lao Shen calculated the distance freely. The mezzanine in the Dragon Guard's hand had a range limit. It would take a long time for the enemy to come and pull the trigger before it could cause a large amount of damage.
The enemy is getting closer and closer, and the battle formation of the Shu army is quiet!
"Dragon Guard, get ready!"
"beat!"
When the enemy entered the effective range, Wu Shun decisively ordered!
"Bang……"
"Bang……"
"Bang……"
Three consecutive shots were completed at an extremely fast speed!
Hundreds of people were knocked down in the front of the grassland cavalry, and hundreds of others were injured and dropped.
The entire front of the grassland cavalry was hit by a shooting from the Dragon Guard, and the momentum of charge disappeared.
"Imperial Guards! Kirin Cavalry! Kill!"
Wu Shun ordered that the flag should be waved and two cavalrymen would fight out at the same time!
The predecessor of the imperial guards was the personal guard camp, which belonged to the heavy cavalry organization! The charge was huge and the sound of horse hooves shook the sky!
The Qilin cavalry on both wings belongs to the light cavalry, and is fast. Together with the guards, it slowly forms an inverted triangle formation! This is to slowly surround the grassland cavalry!
The Goguryeo people could clearly see the movements of the Shu army on the city wall! Starting from the charge of the grassland cavalry, the Shu army remained motionless! Suddenly, a bang, and the front of the arrogant grassland cavalry was in chaos!
Then the Shu cavalry came out, and the momentum made Li Shunchang's blood boil!
"This is the power of the sect leader! This is the majesty of the sect leader! Goguryeo is saved!" Li Shunchang said happily in his heart.
Chapter completed!
