Shanning City.

Shanning City has not changed much since Pu Mingshan left with five thousand elite soldiers. There are a certain number of spies deployed around the city.

Once someone comes to attack, Shanning City will get the news.

The Goguryeo soldiers in the city conducted very strict checks on the people who entered the city.

At this moment, Wu Nian had defeated Pu Mingshan and led two soldiers of ten thousand households to attack Shanning, but Shanning City was unaware of it.

The generals and cavalry who escaped from Pu Mingshan's army were frightened, and no one came back to the city to report the news.

But when Wu Nian's army approached Shanning City, they were still heard by spies outside Goguryeo City. A fast horse galloped into the city to report the news.

A mansion, in the front yard.

Li Huiyuan, the deputy general left behind by Pu Mingshan, was practicing his sword skills. With a steel sword in his hand, he was dancing like a tiger, very fiercely.

Like Pu Mingshan, he was born into a wealthy family. However, his military exploits and martial arts skills were not as good as Pu Mingshan's, so his official position was lower than Pu Mingshan's.

After finishing a set of sword skills, Li Huiyuan broke out in sweat. He handed the knife in his hand to the soldier on the side, then picked up the handkerchief from the plate held by the soldier on the other side and wiped the sweat on his body.

"I have been practicing martial arts very hard, but there is still a gap between my martial arts skills and Pu Mingshan. People are different. For example, Liaodong Wei family, a martial arts inheritance. Some people are enemies of thousands of people, while others are ordinary people. Among them

The gap cannot be made up by hard work and practice."

Li Huiyuan was not very satisfied with his martial arts, so he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Da da da." A guard in front of the door suddenly rushed into the yard and said with a panicked expression: "Report to the general. The spies are here to report. There is a large group of people heading straight towards Shanning City. The flags are [Wu], [Zhang],

【king】."

"What did you say?" Li Huiyuan's face changed drastically, and his eyes were about to burst. At this time, when Pu Mingshan took away five thousand elite soldiers in the city, leaving only three thousand defenders.

But he was a military commander after all, and he quickly calmed down. He turned to a soldier beside him and ordered in a deep voice: "Give me the order. Close the city gate immediately. No Han people are allowed in or out."

"Yes." The soldier knew that the matter was urgent, so he responded and left quickly.

"Put on my armor." Li Huiyuan ordered his soldiers again. After they were all dressed up, Li Huiyuan held a silver spear eight feet in hand and led his soldiers towards the city gate.

After arriving at the city gate, Li Huiyuan dismounted, handed his gun to the soldiers, and climbed the stone steps up the city wall. Wu Nianjun has not yet arrived, but it seems that a tsunami is coming from the front.

The murderous intent was overwhelming.

The soldiers defending the city were very nervous.

"Don't panic. General Park is being ordered to harass Wu Nian outside Yangwu City. It's impossible for him not to see that Wu Nian has sent troops, and he will return to rescue us soon."

Li Huiyuan's heart sank when he saw this, and he shouted loudly to boost his morale.

After hearing this, the defenders calmed down a little.

yes.

Although Wu Nian is powerful, as long as we hold on for a while, General Park will come back to rescue us. By then, we will have 8,000 elite soldiers, and the city will be defended without fail.

Li Huiyuan felt a subtle change and raised his right hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead. This was not cold sweat, but hot sweat.

He came to a shady place in front of the city gate tower and asked his soldiers to bring a bench to sit on. After a long time, a large group of people appeared outside the city.

Li Huiyuan stood up and looked forward. There were fertile fields outside the city, full of crops. The large group of people who suddenly appeared walked along the road without trampling the crops.

First up is the flag with a very tall flagpole and a large shape with the character "Wu" in its shape.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree. Especially now that there are only three thousand defenders in the city.

When Li Huiyuan saw this flag, his heart tightened.

The defenders on the city wall felt exactly the same as Li Huiyuan.

"Ta-ta-ta!!!!"

Wu Nianjun stopped.

It stops like a mountain peak, and its energy is thick and powerful.

Under the banner of "Wu", Wu Nian was wearing heavy armor and was sweating profusely from the heat. Although he was in good physical condition, he was hit by two arrows during the battle to defeat Pu Mingshan. Now he is very uncomfortable and a little dizzy.

But there is nothing you can do on the battlefield, especially during the march. If there is a small group of enemy troops lying in ambush in the mountains and shooting cold arrows towards the official road, the spies will not be able to detect it.

He must wear armor.

Wu Nian reached out and took off the sheepskin water bag from the back of the horse. He drank a lot of water and then ordered: "First, pile the corpses and flags of the Goguryeo people in front of the city gate."

"yes."

The soldiers beside Wu Nian were also sweating profusely and their lips were chapped. After hearing the order, they loudly responded with all their strength and rode off.

Not long after.

Wu Nian ignored the hot weather and the risk of plague. The corpses of Goguryeo left behind were piled up one by one in front of the city gate by the soldiers.

There are also the characters "Pu" and so on, which are the flags of many Goguryeo generals.

For a time, the mountain of corpses was very high and the scene was very bloody.

"Release the Goguryeo prisoners." Wu Nian waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes." The soldiers responded and immediately rode down. Soon after, the ten Goguryeo prisoners who followed were selected and released by Wu Nian's soldiers. One of them held Pu Mingshan's head and walked towards them tremblingly.

Walk to the city wall.

They shouted in Goguryeo: "People in the city should not shoot arrows, we are our own people."

There was silence in Shanning City.

There were not many corpses under the city, not all of the five thousand elite soldiers brought by Pu Mingshan. But they recognized all the flags.

Unless this is Wu Nian's trick, the situation will not be good.

To know.

The flag is there and the people are there.

"Don't worry. General Park was just ordered to harass Wu Nian, not to fight Wu Nian. He would not be so stupid as to confront Wu Nian head-on. This must be Wu Nian's trick."

Li Huiyuan's heart was beating wildly, his hands were shaking and sweating, and he said in a trembling voice to the soldiers on his left and right.

It is better to say that it is to comfort the people around you than to comfort yourself.

If it's a trick, you'll understand if you ask.

Li Huiyuan looked at the Goguryeo prisoners who were shakily approaching the city wall below the city, and struggled for a moment.

There are two options now.

one.

Shoot these people.

two.

Let these people come up.

The former is that I don't listen, I don't listen. It's self-deception to pretend that the thing didn't happen.

The latter is probably not good.

Li Huiyuan looked at the faces of the soldiers guarding the city and sighed. Even if he ordered these people to be shot, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to restore the morale of the army. It's better to let these people come up so that I can know what happened.

Pu Mingshan shouldn't be so stupid to confront Wu Nian head-on, right?

"Put down the hanging basket and pull these people up." Li Huiyuan took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice.
