Chapter 52: The horses’ hooves are rolling in, and the general’s flag is flying across the sky!
“Woo~~~~~”

The endless strong wind let out a series of shrill howls.

Faced with such a turbulent storm, the soldiers guarding the city had difficulty opening their eyes.

They leaned against the wall, trying to avoid the strong wind that was blowing like a knife.

Looking around, the soldiers on the city wall were staggering, which was really not a very nice sight.

For a city.

The soldiers defending the city are undoubtedly very important.

It not only serves as a sentinel, but also serves as the first line of defense when facing an attack.

But at this time.

The soldiers on the city wall did not receive any rebuke for their behavior.

Logically speaking, Goryeo is now in the midst of a war, and it is an extremely brutal war of annihilation.

Soldiers at home should not be so lax.

But it's actually not surprising.

Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Sui Dynasty came aggressively.

In order to deal with Bingfeng, Goryeo carefully laid out the Liaoshui defense line.

The three cities of Liaodong, Xincheng and Gaimu support each other and are close to the Liaohe River.

There are two cities, Buyeo and Jian'an, at the upper and lower ends.

Even if there are problems with Liaodong and other cities in front, there are still Xuanchu, Baiyan and other cities in the back as the second line of defense.

Although such a defense cannot be said to be invincible, it can be said to be impregnable.

In order to maintain these defense lines, Goryeo also transferred most of its elite troops forward.

Moreover.

As a city in the interior of Goryeo!
Whether it is the soldiers defending the city or the generals defending the city.

They didn't think there would be any problems at this time.

After all, there are so many defense lines and cities ahead.

No matter how fiercely the Sui Dynasty attacked, it would be impossible for them to arrive here so quickly.

Therefore, the generals defending the city did not blame the soldiers too much for their laziness.

"What do you think of the situation at the front line now?"

"I heard that Liaodong City seemed to have been breached. Liaodong is such a big city, but it was breached so easily. Is the Sui Dynasty really that strong?" A soldier on the city wall murmured to himself.

"How could you believe such fake news?" another person scolded.

"Goryeo is the center of the Nine Continents, how powerful it is. The Sui Dynasty is just a small country, what kind of waves can it make?"

"Ah? But I heard that the area of ​​Goryeo is not as large as an ordinary county of Sui Dynasty?" another soldier muttered.

"Shut up, where are you from? How dare you spread rumors and confuse people here?" a person nearby shouted angrily.

"Okay, okay, young people are ignorant and are bound to be deceived. There's no need to be so angry." Another person tried to smooth things over.

After that, he turned to the other side and said, "Boy, do your job honestly and stop talking nonsense!"

"Master Fu has already gone to the frontline. Even if the Sui Dynasty is really strong, what can it do?"

Hearing Fu Cailin's name, everyone in the field quickly became confident.

"Yes, yes. With Master Fu here, the Sui Dynasty will surely suffer a crushing defeat."

Several people laughed.

At this moment, the young soldier who was scolded suddenly reached out and gently pulled the captain in front of him.

"What's wrong again?" The captain already disliked the former, and being disturbed again, naturally his expression turned ugly.

But the young soldier did not say anything. He just stretched out his finger and pointed forward tremblingly.

"There's something wrong!" the captain muttered in dissatisfaction.

But the next moment, he raised his head unconsciously.

"Hmm? The wind has stopped?"

At this moment, the wildly roaring wind suddenly became silent.

The surrounding environment became extremely peaceful.

The captain touched his face and found that the pain from being cut by the wind was no longer there, so he couldn't help but grin.

"Huh? What are you all standing there for? The wind has died down. If you don't move around now, what will you do if the wind starts blowing again?"

The captain said half speechlessly and half scoldingly.

But after the words fell, there was still no response from the surroundings. This time, the captain also realized that something was wrong.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

There were sounds like heavy drums and thunder exploding one after another.

The captain and all the soldiers around him felt their legs shake unconsciously.

Not because of my own reasons.

Instead, the ground beneath his feet shook slightly.

The vibration was not severe, but it made people feel cold in their hearts.

Even if their combat effectiveness is far inferior to those elite soldiers on the front line, they are still soldiers.

There is no one who cannot recognize the type of sound.

The sound of horse hooves!
Moreover, the sound of horse hooves that rolled like thunder could not be produced by just a dozen or twenty riders.

A large group of cavalry is coming nearby!

Could it be that the army at the front has returned and our Goryeo has won a great victory?

This thought came to the minds of both the captain and the soldiers around him instinctively.

After all, where is this place?

Guonei City, looking at the map, is already the center of Goryeo, inland within the inland.

Not only is it far away from the front line, but it is also separated by more than a dozen passes!
No matter how smart a person is, it is impossible to imagine that there would be any enemy troops appearing here.

While muttering to himself, the captain raised his head unconsciously.

And the next second, he felt a darkness before his eyes!
Such a scene frightened him instantly.

Only when I calmed down did I see clearly everything ahead.

But after seeing it clearly, the scene ahead undoubtedly made him even more frightened!

The sunlight that was originally shining straight down in front has been blocked by something sudden.

That's a huge flag!
Under the breeze, it is stretching freely in the sky!
At first glance, it gives people the illusion that the sky is covered and the sun is blocked.

There is no other pattern on the flag, only a huge word "Gao". It is simple, but it gives people an indescribable pressure.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of horse hooves continued to explode.

The flag is flying high in the sky, unfurling in the wind!
Although it was just a flag and a single word, it seemed like a piece of the sky, pressing down on the cities and towns in the country.

"Gao? Is there a general in Goryeo with the surname Gao? Is he from the royal family?" Until this moment, the soldiers guarding the city had not been too defensive.

Until black spots appeared from the horizon.

"Huh? It's raining? The weather changes so suddenly!"

The team leader muttered something, then waved his hand and prepared to ask his men to take shelter from the rain.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, his vision went dark again.

And this time, it was obvious that there would never be light before his eyes again.

An arrow flashing with cold light had pierced through the back of his head.

“Brush, brush, brush!”

In just a moment, arrows cut through the sky, making sharp sounds.

It fell on the top of the city like raindrops.

"what!"

Sharp screams rang out quickly, accompanied by panicked shouts.

The Goryeo soldiers, who were already not on guard at all, found it even more difficult to organize any defense when suddenly attacked.

And it was only such a short moment.

The cavalry, like a torrent, has already rushed to the front of the city.

"Set up the formation, swing the halberds!"

An extremely cold voice suddenly sounded.

As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow flashed above the army, and all the soldiers waved their weapons at the same time.

The next second, a huge red spear suddenly appeared and slammed down towards the city gate in front!
"boom!"
