Chapter 454: Capture the King and Kill His Master Single-handedly [Subscribe]

At the beginning of Haishi.

The Goguryeo royal palace was brightly lit and the atmosphere was solemn.

"Your Majesty, this is not polite."

An elder of the royal family stammered, "Your Majesty should bring blood relatives with him."

According to clan etiquette, the emperor must have an heir, otherwise his direct blood relatives, brothers, sons, and nephews will be regarded as the successors.

Gao Nanwu had no offspring, so historically, after his death, his younger brother took over the throne.

Gao Nanwu stared at Gao Yanyou fiercely: "I want to hear your own opinion."

He refused the summons of the Emperor of Wei, which led to Goguryeo being conquered by the Wei army and the country suffering. There were voices of opposition in the court.

If his younger brother Gao Yanyou made any unusual moves at this time, Gao Nanwu would never be polite and would leave troubles that would threaten him.

Gao Yanyou said respectfully: "I am willing to stay and live and die with Wandu to cover my brother's evacuation."

Gao Nanwu sneered:
"I will also have 8,000 Zhenwu troops stay to defend Marudu. I will also leave 4,000 troops in the left and right Weicheng."

"Okay, all of you go down and get ready. We will leave Marutu in the early morning."

Gao Nanwu deliberately announced his departure at the last minute.

This can save a lot of trouble, as some people will not have time to react and prepare, and will have to be tied to him.

When Gao Yanyou came out of the palace, he saw that people in various palaces were busy packing up along the way and the people were in a panic.

There was also a team of palace guards beside Gao Yanyou.

That was Gao Nanwu, a means of guarding against and controlling him.

Gao Yanyou also knew that there were people arranged by Gao Nanwu in his mansion, and he would not be allowed to make any unusual movements.

The night breeze is blowing.

On his way back to his mansion, Gao Yanyou saw and heard the sound of galloping horses all over the city.

General Gao Nan took away most of Goguryeo's imperial guards.

But Marutu will still leave some elite troops.

Because Gao Nanwu wanted to use these people to stop the enemy and buy time for his withdrawal.

early morning.

Outside the city gate east of Marundu.

Gao Nanwu was sitting in the royal carriage, and next to him was a noble lady with a very outstanding appearance, wearing a crown. She was the Queen Yu of Goryeo.

His family was extremely powerful in Goryeo.

Gao Yanyou also came to see him off and was bowing beside the car.

Gao Nanwu looked back at Wandu, lowered the curtains, and drove out of the city under the protection of the army.

A group of royal relatives also went with them.

The Goguryeo royal family was conquered and defeated by China many times in history.

But he still provoked repeatedly.

Once they were defeated, they fled eastward and hid in the mountains.

After the Han invasion was over, they came out of the mountains and began to rebuild.

After leaving Marundo, Goguryeo King Ko Nam-mu hurried southeastward toward Woju.

Wokou was a tribe annexed by Goguryeo in its early years, and then a city was established.

It is located not far from the coast further east.

When the King of Goryeo encountered an incident and needed a strategic retreat, he would most likely choose Wokou.

Because of its special geographical location, it can advance or retreat and is very flexible.

When Gao Nanwu refused to go to Wei to meet Cao Cao, he had already thought of a series of follow-up steps.

Precisely because he had a way to retreat, he was not panicked at the moment and talked with Yu in the carriage.

"My lord, how long will it take us to come back after we withdraw this time?"

"In two or three months at most, when autumn comes, the Xianbei will also take action."

Gao Nanwu's face was gloomy: "Wei State wants to summon me and force me to surrender to Wei. This is really hateful.

From now on, we and the State of Wei are mortal enemies. If there is a chance, I will avenge today's vengeance."

Gao Nanwu and Yu Shi, protected by soldiers and horses, marched rapidly towards the southeast for two days.

The way to Woju is full of crisscrossing mountain roads, which is not easy to walk on.

At noon, the sun shines brightly.

Gao Nanwu's team crossed a hill and saw an exit ahead.

In the scorching heat, tens of thousands of people marched over mountains and crossed rivers, and both men and horses were exhausted.

Gao Nan said: "General Wu, after we pass the mountain pass, take a break before we continue!"

The general Wu Gong, who commanded the troops, rode his horse closer and quickly agreed.

The team moved quickly and passed the mountain pass.

Gao Nanwu's carriage found a ventilated and shady place to stop and rest, waiting for the rear troops to arrive.

Scouts were sent out from the surrounding areas to take charge of the security.

call out--

Suddenly there was a sharp sound.

Gao Nanwu lifted the veil on the carriage and looked out together with Queen Yu.

But from the direction they had just come from, arrows flew across the sky, and in an instant many soldiers were shot and fell.

People were startled and horses neighed, and chaos broke out in an instant.

Wu Gong was also looking back: "Enemy attack!"

How could we be attacked here?

"Your Majesty, this carriage is too conspicuous and it is inconvenient to travel on the mountain road. We don't know the strength and number of the enemy, so we should abandon the carriage and leave quickly." Wu Gong said cautiously.

Gao Nanwu got off the car immediately, without even having time to greet Queen Yu.

He climbed onto the horse and urged it to go faster.

He was quite experienced in escaping. He took off the royal robe and crown that symbolized his status while on horseback to make himself less conspicuous.

At this time, Yu also abandoned the car and mounted a horse.

Everyone turned back to see the situation behind them, and saw that the Goguryeo imperial army was stuck at the mountain pass. There were falling rocks on the cliffs on both sides.

The Goguryeo imperial guards were separated into two parts by the incident at the mountain pass.

And the arrows were shot down from the mountain.

It turned out that the troops that were going to block them had ambushed on the mountain in advance. No wonder they had concealed themselves from the scouts that Goguryeo had previously sent out.

Just as Gao Nanwu turned around to look, a general of the Wei army walked out from the top of the mountain.

He was wearing black armor, his cloak fluttering in the mountain breeze, and holding a halberd in his hand, he looked towards Gao Nanwu and others from a distance.

On a steep slope of the cliff, a Wei army was leaping down at an astonishing speed, approaching Gao Nanwu's direction.

The general on the top of the mountain jumped down from the mountain, ran in the air, and landed in front of the rushing team, matching the momentum of the entire team.

Gao Nanwu and Wu Gong saw the process of it running in the air from afar.

"How can a man run in the air..."

Gao Nanwu groaned softly, his heart beating like a drum.

"Your Majesty, please leave quickly." Wu Gong shouted.

Gao Nanwu immediately urged his horse to gallop.

The military workers behind him, with their personal troops following closely, surrounded him and Yu and quickly went away.

The one who jumped down from the mountain was Zhang Liao.

He and Gao Shun, the Xianzhen Camp, after breaking through Wanshik City, the second line of defense of Goguryeo, marched non-stop and arrived at the mountain pass from Marundu to Woju to ambush.

Zhang Liao was full of admiration for Cao Cao's strategies and his ability to anticipate the enemy's moves.

He fell from the air and killed an enemy general with his halberd.

The great crossbowman on the mountain was adjusting his angle and, from his high vantage point, was shooting crossbow arrows like raindrops towards the fleeing Gao Nanwu.

People around me kept falling off their horses.

All the muscles in Gao Nanwu's body were tense. Suddenly, he heard a scream beside him. It turned out to be Queen Yu. She was not used to riding a horse. In the panic of arrows flying everywhere, she fell off her horse and her life or death was unknown.

Gao Nanwu no longer cared about Yu.

As he ran, he looked back and saw Zhang Liao leading the Xianzhen Camp, breaking through the crowd and approaching him at an astonishing speed.

Wu Gong: "Your Majesty, please leave quickly and don't look back."

Gao Nanwu whipped the horse's buttocks continuously and escaped with the protection of his personal soldiers.

Wu Gong, however, led a small number of imperial guards, turned their horses around, and confronted Cao's army led by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, intending to block the enemy's retreat and cover Gao Nanwu's withdrawal.

Boom-boom-boom!

The moment they came face to face with the Wei army, loud noises like muffled thunder suddenly rang in the ears of Wu Gong and even the Goguryeo imperial guards under his command.

That was the sound of thousands of soldiers trampling as they charged into the battle formation.

The footsteps seemed to be connected with the heaven and earth, shaking the eardrums of Wu Gong and others.

After years of fighting in the south and the north, the Xianzhen Camp gradually reached the threshold of a mythical military force after the heavy cavalry.

When they were led by Zhang Liao and their forces were combined, it was as if they were merging with the heaven and earth, unleashing an unstoppable force.

The sound of their running footsteps was like the beating of war drums, shaking people's hearts and minds.

Wu Gong clenched the spear in his hand and mobilized his troops to join forces with the Goguryeo imperial guards behind him.

"Come on!"

Wu Gong rode his horse to attack the Wei army on the opposite side.

Horse hooves raise dust.

The two sides met each other in an instant and collided head-on!

boom!
The Xianzhen Camp rushed into the flock of sheep like a rhinoceros in a rage.

The Goryeo soldiers were immediately thrown to the ground.

Gao Shun held the large shield at an upward angle, first gathering strength backwards, and then suddenly pushed it out.

There was a gas explosion in the air!
In front of him, Zhang Liao leaped up, was pushed by Gao Shun's big shield, and pushed with his feet. Like a cannonball, he drew a huge arc and fell in the direction of Gao Nanwu.

Wu Gong also jumped up and thrust his spear into the air, but he was a moment too late and failed to stop Zhang Liao.

When he fell back onto his horse, he suddenly felt a huge force pressing down on him.

Gao Shun held the large shield on his shoulder and slammed the entire shield towards Wu Gong.

The impact was like a huge hammer the size of a shield hitting the body.

puff!
Wu Gong and his horse were knocked several feet away.

As the warhorse screamed miserably, blood mist seeped out of its body, and its shoulders, neck, and abdomen were obviously collapsed.

The same thing happened to Wu Gong, as a violent force blasted into his body.

His internal organs were ruptured, his eyes were bulging, and blood was oozing from his facial features.

"Which team of the Wei army are you from?" Wu Gong asked in a hoarse voice, speaking Chinese.

There were many people in Goguryeo who could speak Chinese.

"Wei's trapped soldiers!" Gao Shun said.

Upon hearing this, Wu Gong turned over and fell off his horse. The horse he was riding died along with him.

Gao Shun's eyes behind his visor looked in the direction of Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao jumped down from the air and landed right on Gao Nanwu.

There were several Korean soldiers nearby who wanted to stop Zhang Liao, but they were easily deflected by him by waving his halberds as he fell.

When he reached Gao Nanwu's head, his body paused noticeably, and then suddenly sank.

The change in his speed and the pause in mid-air caused the remaining soldiers to misjudge his position and falling time, and all their attacks hit empty air.

Zhang Liao grabbed Gao Nanwu by the scruff of the neck with one hand and switched places with him.

Zhang Liao sat on the horse.

Gao Nanwu was held in his hands and became a prisoner.

Zhang Liao held the halberd in his other hand horizontally, intending to kill the leader of a country.

Gao Nanwu said in shock: "This king..."

Zhang Liao chuckled, and before the man could finish speaking, he swung his spear forward, blood splattered, and the man's head fell to the ground!
