In the darkroom that night, Han Mochu handed Lin Zhou and the others to lock in two cabins separated by a wall, and gave each of them a blank sheet of paper to write down everything they knew about the expedition. The two of them work together carefully, and whoever confesses to more people will survive.

The two of them wrote tremblingly all night, and a blank sheet of paper was filled to the brim.

At dawn at five drums, Xionghu yawned while holding his ghost-headed big-huan knife.According to Han Mochu's instructions, the two beggar-like people were dragged out of the stinking darkroom and dragged all the way to the cabin where the meeting was held.

The two freely confessed how because they were jealous of Han Mochu's meritorious service before the army, they conspired to poison Gu Xiu and framed Han Mochu.

After hearing the confession of the two men, Gu Xiu got up and stood in the middle of the generals, and said twelve words in a deep voice: "Murdering the chief general and framing colleagues, the crime should be severely punished."

When the two of them heard this, they both looked at Han Mochu who was at the side with a slightly raised mouth.

Han Mochu looked at the two with a regretful expression, and the smile deepened on the corner of his mouth: "You recruited the same number."

People who are about to die are crazy.Knowing that Lin Cong was hopeless, he tried to pounce on Han Mochu and bit off a piece of his body.

It's a pity that the moment he jumped forward, he was dragged down by several executioners.

The blood of the two washed away the crimes that were placed on Han Mochu.The bowl of patent medicine jointly developed by him and several military doctors was also naturally innocent.

At noon that day, Gu Xiu tested the medicine himself again.The results were obvious, Gu Xiu's dizziness and vomiting were all relieved after the onset of the drug.The patented medicine was pushed to the soldiers who were seriously dizzy at the fastest speed, and the soldiers who could not support themselves could stand up leaning on the deck, and even walked.

The morale on the ship, which had been sluggish for a long time, finally began to gradually recover.

After Lin Zhou's death, Han Mochu slightly compared the two lists that Lin Zhou recognized.There are only three or four overlapped names, and most of them were randomly bitten down in order to survive.

Han Mochu didn't believe the person who the two of them confessed to be the mastermind. For such things, no smart person would really collude with these lackeys who are willing to be driven for money and power in their original identities.

But it is also easy to find out who is behind the scenes, after all, the two of them are famous and famous.If you hook up with such a person, no matter how concealed you are, you will still leave traces.

After several days of sailing, Wang Shi stepped into the territory of Goguryeo. On the first day when he landed and charged, he encountered a strong enemy.

Jin Xun, the defender of Xuantu City, was a brave general who led more than [-] defenders on the river bank to prevent the royal army from landing on the shore.

[-] heavily armed Goguryeo soldiers stood guard along the line where the king could step ashore.Feathered arrows all over the sky flew towards the ship where Wang Shi was located like a torrential rain.

The giant crossbow was on top of the ship, and its accuracy was far inferior to that on land, and the shield armor used by the Goguryeo soldiers on the shore was extremely hard, and ordinary bows and arrows of the Kingdom Dynasty could not penetrate it at all.

Moreover, the enemy army is on the shore, and the Wang Shi is on the ship. There is a huge difference between superior and inferior.Gu Xiu could only watch helplessly as some soldiers who were eager to land were either killed by the spears and halberds of the Goguryeo defenders, or were shot by random arrows and buried in the icy river.

In order to land, Gu Xiu led the soldiers on the main ship to fight all the way regardless of life and death, and finally found a breakthrough at a point near the shore, and forcibly opened a hole.

"Soldiers! Charge up!" Gu Xiu held a spear!Gun, shouted in front of the battle.Xionghu, who followed closely behind him, brandished a big knife and hacked to death more than a dozen enemy soldiers who tried to get close to Gu Xiu.

"Come on! Come to the old bear! Let the old bear die! You little bastards!" The ghost-headed sword in Xiong Hu's hand was specially ordered by Gu Xiu to be made with him after he returned from the conquest of Mohe.

With this big knife, this big man who was born as strong as a bear became the best fighter beside Gu Xiu on the battlefield.

Han Mo, who was still commanding the counterattack on the ship, saw the momentum for the first time, and ordered all the soldiers to target his body, pass through the arrows flying all over the sky, and lead the king's army behind him towards the direction of Gu Xiu's landing The defense line of Goryeo soldiers was torn apart more and more.

The 17-strong army, relying on its numerical superiority and unstoppable momentum, soon began to recover from its decline and gained the upper hand.After a day and night of fierce fighting, the well-prepared Koryo vanguard was finally defeated. Of the 4-strong army, there were less than 5000 left in the end. Under the leadership of the general Jin Xun, they struggled to break through.

The landing battle ended at the dawn of the third day.

Scattered snow fell on the sky, and the river on the bank was already bright red. The bodies of some soldiers of the dynasty were salvaged, and some were washed away by the rushing water without a trace.

Gu Xiu stood on the bank of the river, looking at the floating corpses, for a moment he didn't know whether he had won or lost.

Gu Xiu, who hadn't eaten for a day and a night, held a whole sheet of ice-cold Hubing Roll jerky in his hand, and swallowed it into his stomach with the ice-cold clear water one mouthful at a time.The backs of his hands were mottled and swollen. In the middle of winter in Goguryeo, the cold and damp air permeated the bones, which was more difficult than the long and bitter winter at Mohe Border Pass.However, after only one night, those chilblains from Mohe Border Pass recurred.

Han Mochu didn't eat, and was still at the front line commanding the soldiers who had rested in batches to clean up the battlefield, count the number of people, and at the same time collect the shields that even bows and arrows of their country could not pierce.

Before today's landing battle, Han Mochu hadn't thought that a country like Goguryeo would indeed have the strength to fight against the country after all these years of dormancy.

In this expedition, we can only win, not lose.

Until Gu Xiu ordered to march in formation, Han Mochu did not rest for a moment.

In the evening, Master Wang temporarily camped in a mountainous area seventy miles outside Xuantu City.Let the soldiers who have been fighting for nearly two days and one night fall asleep in batches to recharge their batteries.

The winter night in Goguryeo was extremely cold, but fortunately, the supplies carried during this expedition were sufficient.After capturing the city, you can also supply yourself in the city.In the temporary simple military tent, the stove was very active.

Gu Xiu, Han Mochu, and all the generals of the fourth rank and above who participated in the battle were on one side to draw a detailed map.

Triangular flags symbolizing the strength of the two armies are placed at specific locations on the map.

According to the report from the soldiers who explored the way ahead, Xuantu City was closed at this time, and the situation of the defenders in the city is still unknown.According to the Garrison Bingbao, the 4 troops led by Jin Xun are almost the main force of the entire Xuantu City. It is not difficult to attack and occupy the city at this time.

This seemingly easy victory is actually an extremely dangerous trap.

After Master Wang captured Xuantu City, Jian'an and Liaodong, the two cities adjacent to Xuantu City, will surely send troops to help.At this time, the king's army occupied the city, and Goguryeo was brave by nature. After the king's attack on the city, there would be civil violence in the city.If the other two cities were to send troops to attack from the outside, the king's army would be in danger of being destroyed.

Marching to this point, we must fight.Not to mention looking far away, it will delay the fighter.

"Your Highness, I feel that it is better to divide the king's army into three groups at this time. After the capture of Xuantu City, the two armies directly launched an attack on the two cities of Jian'an and Liaodong. One group of troops defended Xuantu City to suppress the people in the city." Han Mochu The flags representing Wang Shi were planted on the three cities respectively.

"The method of dividing the troops that Han Canjun said is good, but it will reduce the combat power of the king's division to one-third of the original, so that there is no full chance of winning any battle."

The person who spoke was Gao Sheng, because General Ding Quan's mother passed away, and Ding You returned to his residence.For this expedition, he will temporarily take the post of lieutenant general.

"General Gao Sheng's words are wrong. In the beginning, there is no battle that is guaranteed to win. Is it possible to win with a large number of people?" Han Mochu looked at Gao Sheng and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Besides, there is no need to divide the army evenly. Divided into three groups, I ask myself to guard Xuantu City, only six thousand elite soldiers are enough."

"6000 people? Han Canjun, you are..." Gao Sheng's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Yes, 6000 people. After the siege tomorrow, His Highness only needs 6000 people with me."

"With 6000 people, can Han join the army with confidence?" Gu Xiu asked in a deep voice.

"Of course, as long as there is civil unrest, His Highness allows me to massacre the city." Han Mochu still had a gentle smile on his face, like those handsome and elegant young men from noble families in Bianjing City.

"Slaughter...slaughter the city? Han Canjun, the royal masters of our country have always advocated benevolent government. They don't slaughter the city when they attack the city, and generally don't kill the people." Gao Sheng once thought that a person like Han Mochu must have a cleanliness that can't see blood. It's okay to have some compassion.He really didn't expect that after the two wars, this Han Canjun's heart was as hard as a stone when facing the enemy.

"General Gao, a commoner of a foreign race, once he takes up his sword and faces our soldiers, he is no longer a commoner." Han Mochu's expression was always gentle and calm, "So, even if you kill them all Well, it’s nothing at all.”

Gao Sheng didn't know that during the mutiny that Han Mochu experienced when he was four years old, he watched his unarmed mother being bitten to death by those barbarian soldiers from Xirong.

In Han Mochu's eyes, these aliens were no different from beasts and livestock.

"Okay, since Han Canjun said so, then there is no need to fight any more." Gu Xiu ended the argument between the two with a positive tone: "Tomorrow at the first hour of Yinshi, the army will attack the city, and the rear troops will divide into three groups. After harvesting the three cities, they will meet under Baiyan City."

At Yin time in winter, there are still scattered stars hanging on the sky.

Those modified crossbows and catapults opened the gate of Xuantu City in an extremely tragic way, and the remaining defenders could not resist such a fierce attack.

After daybreak, all the garrison troops in Xuantu City were wiped out.With the head of Xuantu City guard Jin Xun on the tip of Gu Xiu's spear, he led the high-moralized Guochao army into the gate of Xuantu City.The old and weak women and children in the city who had no time to escape back home all kneeled and prostrated, trembling all over.

"Everyone, don't be afraid. As long as you keep your duty, the army of the imperial court will never hurt any of the people." Han Mochu shouted to the disgraced people in extremely fluent Korean while riding on horseback.

Some of the more daring commoners peeked at Han Mochu, who had an unusually handsome face but was covered in blood, and for a moment didn't know whether to believe this man who charged into the city with a long sword.

"Your Highness, the fighter plane is ahead, and this place is left to the minister."

"Okay, after the 21st, meet at Baiyan City." Gu Xiu gave a brief order, collected the grain, grass and supplies in the official warehouse in the city, left [-] elite soldiers with Han Mochu, and then attacked in two ways with the lieutenant general Gao Sheng. The two cities of Jian'an and Liaodong.

Han Mochu led [-] elite soldiers to camp at the gate of the city. On the first day of camping, Han Mochu posted a notice in Korean: Anyone who breeds civil violence at this time will be killed without mercy.Every day, he personally leads a squad of hundreds of elite soldiers to patrol the streets of Xuantu City to deter the people.

On the seventh day of the camp, there was still a riot in Xuantu City. It was a group of bandits on the ground who attacked the barracks guarded by Han Mochu in the dark under the banner of saving the city from fire and water.

Undoubtedly, this small group of dozens of rioters were all beheaded, and their bodies were hung on the city gate and blown away by the wind.The corpses of these dozens of people have completely aroused the consciousness of the people in the city to rise up and resist.

For three days in a row, a team composed of adult men who were still capable of fighting in the city kept provoking Han Mochu, who was guarding the camp. Han Mochu's bottom line was reached.

The order to massacre the city was issued in the middle of the night that day.The rockets soaked in tung oil landed on every house in the city, and the people who were forced out by the fire were hit by feather arrows that rained down like raindrops.

For a time, the whole city was filled with the sound of running footsteps, the cries of children and women, the sound of feathered arrows piercing the skin, and the loud noise of houses collapsing.

Flames rose and smoke billowed.Han Mochu lightly clamped the horse's belly, strolling in the purgatory-like turbulence.He looked at the desperate crowd with no waves in his heart.

At dawn, the flames are still burning in the ruins of the collapsed walls. The corpses of men and women are everywhere. Some people who survived by chance are all guarding one or more corpses, crying in despair. with.

Sitting on the horseback, Han Mochu stepped on the blood-stained roads. Under the rising sun, the silver armor on his body shone brightly and dazzlingly like dragon scales, making it almost impossible to look directly at him.

Han Mochu reined in his horse and stopped in front of a woman who was crying desperately as she guarded her husband's corpse. He gently handed a silk handkerchief to the woman, and said softly in Korean, "I'm not Did you say that as long as you don’t resist, it won’t hurt you?”

The woman was as frightened as a sparrow, and frantically kowtowed to the tea-like man on horseback begging for mercy.

If this woman survives to old age, she will definitely tell all her descendants that she saw the most beautiful devil in the world on this day.
