Taizi River is famous, but in fact it is not very wide.
When the Goguryeo army rushed from the river valley to the Taizi River, they did not panic when they found flags fluttering on Baiyun Mountain on the other side.
Soon, a group of savage-looking slaves were driven into the Taizi River by the Goguryeo people and began to lay a pontoon bridge.
Many of these slaves were local Han people in Liaodong, who had been plundered by the Goguryeo people. With the help of these Han people, eight pontoon bridges were quickly laid out on the Taizi River.
After that, the Goguryeo people set up the main camp on the south bank of the Taizi River, and then selected 3,000 soldiers from the five tribes of the country to cross the pontoon bridge of the Taizi River and march to the foot of Baiyun Mountain.
At this time, the clear Taizi River was sparkling, and the wind ruffled the autumn water, just like a beauty's chuckle.
But when countless straw sandals and dirty feet stepped on the soft river beach on the north bank, the filth was mixed with the river water, and the clarity was mixed with dust.
Three thousand soldiers from all over the country were densely packed like ants and surrounded Baiyun Mountain, their shouts shaking the sky.
The commander in charge of these three thousand soldiers was named Big Horned Deer.
Although his name is not obvious, he is actually one of the most powerful generals in the country.
Not long after the Goguryeo people left the barbaric wilderness, they still maintained a strong martial spirit. All the generals in the country were well-known warriors, and those who could not subjugate the crowd could not be generals.
The man in front of him, called Big Horned Deer, was eight feet tall. He was covered in sinewy flesh and had such big arms and round waist that even a set of iron armor couldn't cover him.
Generally speaking, the people of the mountains who are fishermen and hunters are generally much shorter than the people of the plains. Therefore, Bachi may not be a minority among Han people, but when placed alone among Goguryeo, it is like a heavenly being.
Not to mention that the big-horned deer has the unparalleled strength to tear apart tigers and wolves with his hands, which makes him a well-known warrior in the country.
At this moment, he was sitting upright on a war horse, with his feet only a few inches off the ground, giving him a funny feeling of a giant riding a pony.
But there's nothing we can do about it. Also because of the mountainous terrain, the war horses here are shorter than in other places.
The Goguryeo people continued to invade the Buyeo people in the north. One of the big reasons was to obtain high-quality war horses.
The Fuyu people's area is located in the Songnen Plain and has a cold climate, which can breed tall and strong war horses.
Looking at the Baiyun Mountain in the distance, the big-horned deer chuckled and said mockingly:
"It's really funny that these people are building a mountain city in front of us."
But the other generals below him remained silent.
Indeed, compared with the Han people, Goguryeo was indeed better at building mountain cities. But even from their perspective, the Baiyun Mountain barrier in front of them cannot be underestimated.
How was this Baiyun Mountain barrier built?
The main body of the barrier is almost built along the Baiyun Mountain ridge, and then two hanging towers are built on the mountain road up the mountain. In addition, there are water sources on Baiyun Mountain.
It is almost impossible to break through such a mountain city without leaving a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
But the Goguryeo people had to fight.
Without fighting, they would not be able to reach Xiangping City. If they don't fight, their route back to the country will be threatened by the Han people.
Therefore, the Baiyun Mountain Barrier is a typical defensive stronghold. The army cannot defeat this barrier unless it is pulled out.
And unlike Big Horn Deer, who stood out from the middle school martial arts exercises, these generals of his are all experienced in fighting. Not to mention how powerful they are, they have fought too many bad battles with the Gongsun family, and they understand. One truth:
That is to say, in a war, people will die. If the war ends, it is not up to anyone to decide who lives and who dies.
In addition, they have now left the country and penetrated deep into the territory of the Han people. No matter how careful they are, they cannot be too careful.
Therefore, each of these people emphasized to Big Horn Deer that he must not be underestimated, otherwise his reputation will be ruined for a lifetime.
Dajiulu also listened to the advice. He asked a small town chief to lead more than a hundred national soldiers to attack the mountain. After being killed and defeated, he simply stopped attacking.
Anyway, from Bighorn Deer's point of view, it was a joke to save the Gongsun family, and they might as well hang out at the foot of the mountain.
So, the big-horned deer let all the troops rest, and then called ten tough warriors to join the scene, and then started playing horned beetle.
The time has entered September, and the Goguryeo soldiers outside are all wrapped in leather clothes, but we big-horned deer are bare-chested.
On his back, a large-antlered deer tattoo of considerable aesthetic value is vividly displayed.
And over there, ten sturdy horned warriors rushed towards the big horned deer one after another, but he dodged and then flew away with his skills.
The big-horned deer felt relaxed until he was sweating all over.
At this time, people from outside came in and reported that they saw four Han knights in the east, each carrying a flag, and they didn't know what they were doing.
The big-horned deer asked:
"Do you know what is written on that flag?"
Jian Bu was embarrassed and obviously didn't recognize him.
The big-horned deer had no choice but to wrap a piece of leather around it, and then walked out.
For a moment, without knowing what was happening on the other side, the big-horned deer was so angry that he led all his pony cavalry regiments to directly chase and kill the four Han knights.
……
At the same time, on the south bank of the Taizi River, flags were flying in the Goguryeo camp. Yuan Dayi, the leader of the Xiaonu Department, was sitting on the couch listening to the mountain city lords and Xiaoyi lords in the camp reporting on the situation of each department.
At this moment, he felt a little drowsy after listening to it, but he still held on.
In fact, Yuan Dayi stayed up all night yesterday, not because he was afraid but because he was excited.
Because he saw that the glory of their Slavery Department would be revived again.
In the past, the Xiaonu tribe has always been the royal family of Goguryeo. It can be said that today's Goguryeo is almost the result of the hard work of several generations of virtuous kings of the Xiaonu tribe.
But the flowers are not blooming for a hundred days, and no one would have thought that the Xiaonu tribe, which had always been the royal family, would also lose its throne due to the decline of the population, and the Gui Lou tribe would take the throne.
But there is nothing to complain about. In the final analysis, political success or failure is still a confrontation of strength. Even if the Slavery Department creates a nation, if it cannot hold on to its family fortune, it will still be usurped by the conquered nations in the past.
Such examples are not uncommon in history.
But humans are very special animals, that is, they have memories and they know where they come from.
Therefore, even if they are reduced to one of the five ordinary tribes, the people of the Xiaonu tribe still regard restoring the throne of their ancestors as their own mission.
But this time, Yuan Dayi saw it as an opportunity to go west to Xiangping, so he took the initiative to take over the pioneering work that was regarded as a drudgery by the other four tribes.
That's right, the Goguryeo army in front of Baiyun Mountain Pass turned out to be just their vanguard. So how large an army did they dispatch this time?
The king of Goguryeo in this generation is called King Chuan of Guguo. He is considered to be the most prominent among the kings of Goguryeo in several generations.
The previous generations of Goguryeo kings only valued military affairs and generally relied on warriors to govern the country. However, in the generation of the King of Sichuan in his hometown, he began to develop civilized affairs and selected ministers based on their talents. Even those who came from the capital of Guizhou did not stick to one pattern. For example, the big-horned deer stands out against this background.
This time, the king of Sichuan, his home country, almost used all the troops in the country. He recruited 50,000 soldiers from 100,000 households, not counting the grain transfers from Tuili. It can be said that from the royal city to the exit of the valley, the valley road is full of troops.
The task given to Yuan Dayi by the King of Sichuan of his hometown was to let him take the mountain pass and pave the way for the entire army to march south to Xiangping.
But now, everything is arranged according to the plan, and Yuan Dayi also feels that there is no problem in this battle.
After all, he has close to 20,000 Chinese people here. Isn’t it possible to reach the small Baiyun Mountain with just one foot?
In addition, the big-horned deer who attacked the mountain for him was a fierce general capable of killing tigers and leopards, and Yuan Dayi became even more confident.
However, as a mature minister, Yuan Dayi is still very calm.
So even though he was sure of everything, he still dealt with all the food, fodder and military supplies in the camp seriously. Until now, Yuan Dayi still hadn't eaten a grain of corn.
The reason why Yuan Dayi is like this is not because the king of his hometown Sichuan promised him that if Xiangping is captured, he will be the city guard of Xiangping in the future.
For the hope of the whole clan and to restore the glory of our ancestors, I, Yuan Dayi, will fight hard.
He pinched his thigh, steeled himself, and continued to listen to the report.
But after all, it was because of his age that Yuan Dayi's energy obviously lost, and his head was sinking unconsciously. When his head was about to sink, he raised it sharply, and finally sank slowly again, and he has maintained this rhythm since then.
Some of the Chinese people below saw it and stretched out their hands to signal everyone to keep quiet, and then the big tent gradually became quiet.
Yuan Dayi was dreaming. He dreamed that a three-legged golden crow landed on top of his head, but suddenly flew away. He kept chasing him in the dream, but just when he was about to catch up, he was hit by a wave of The boundless sea of blood was drowned.
At this moment, a junior high school student suddenly ran out of the tent and said:
"Sir, the big-horned deer army on the other side has attacked?"
Then Yuan Dayi suddenly raised his head and subconsciously said:
"Well, those who are listening, those who are listening."
But as his pupils focused, he gradually saw the scene in front of him clearly.
Only then did he realize that he had actually slept.
Naturally, the walking man below didn't know this, so he hurriedly said what he just said again.
Hearing this, Yuan Dayi burst out laughing, stroking his palms and saying to his left and right:
"This big-antlered deer is indeed as its name suggests. It is brave and is a fierce general of our country."
But the walking man below hesitated for a moment and said:
"But my lord, General Big Horn Deer went east to pursue a few Han soldiers and has not returned yet?"
Yuan Dayi was obviously stunned for a moment, not understanding what the big-horned deer meant.
But the following is a rough and arrogant warrior who knows very well:
"I know General Bighorn Deer loves to play with his prey. This time he must be playing with those people."
Yuan Dayi smiled.
But before he could finish laughing, he suddenly heard an earth-shattering cry of murder outside.
Its sound is like a mountain torrent, and its shrillness is like a mandrill, which makes people shudder when they hear it.
However, the expressions of some experienced generals in the tent changed. They directly pulled Yuan Dayi out of the tent who was unaware of what was going on.
Then, Yuan Dayi saw a scene that he had never seen in his life.
His face was pale.
