Chapter 429: Blood Debt and Blood Repayment
Outside the Royal Palace.
Prince Yan, Prince Yongyan and the commander of the divine cavalry led their troops to surround this place.
At the entrance of the palace, there were already piles of corpses.
A small part is the corpse of the Tang army, most of them are the corpses of the Yan army, and some of the grassland cavalry are also mixed with it.
The Divine Cavalry did not participate in the battle during the whole process.
The only opponent in their eyes is the Datang Heavy Cavalry, and now that the Heavy Riding is solved, they will paddle the whole way to watch the show.
Although the battle at the gate of the palace was not as tragic as the previous roadway battle, and the ordinary troops of the Tang Dynasty were not as difficult to deal with as the heavy cavalry, the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom, who had been frightened by the heavy cavalry, were still afraid when facing the Tang army, which was far less than their own number.
It can be said that this war was extremely ugly!
Prince Yan was already desperate.
Even more desperately, he failed to save his father, the emperor of Dayan.
From the perspective of a prince, the death of his father is a great thing, because it means that he can ascend to the throne smoothly, plus the other princes of Yan Kingdom have no way to snatch it from him, and the crown prince's accession to the throne will be smooth sailing.
However, from a country's point of view, the death of a monarch in a war is a devastating blow to the confidence of the people.
Originally, he was quite jealous of the Tang Dynasty, but now that even the emperor was killed by the Tang Army, how can he fight with the Tang Dynasty?
Surrender before it's too late.
Yongyan patted Prince Yan's shoulder and said with relief: "Although Emperor Yan is dead, his heroic soul will guide the Yan Kingdom to continue to move forward.
Prince Yan nodded: "I'll take care of it." ”
With that, he motioned to his personal guards to shout at the palace.
However, before the guard could speak, Guo Zhenying walked out under the escort of several soldiers.
Guo Zhenying's pace was extremely steady, and his face was quite resolute, he couldn't see that he was surrounded at all, and he didn't know that he had a great advantage.
Looking at the corpse of his soldier, Guo Zhenying's face still did not change at all, and although there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, it quickly disappeared.
The adjutant pulled out the sharp blade on his waist and said to Guo Zhenying: "General, I'll go first." ”
Guo Zhenying smiled: "You go first, and I'll come later." ”
The adjutant laughed loudly, led the last few soldiers, and fearlessly rushed forward.
They are brave, they are fierce, but they are human after all.
After killing ten people, the adjutant and these Tang soldiers also fell one after another.
At this point, the Tang Army in Jicheng is only Guo Zhenying.
His face finally changed, and he sighed softly.
Prince Yan looked at this cutting-edge general of the Tang Dynasty, trying to see a trace of panic in his body.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find the slightest bit of negative emotions from Guo Zhenying.
He is like thousands of Tang people, no matter what kind of scene he faces, he is still extremely proud.
Yongyan's mood is also very complicated.
The whole plan was made by him.
Yongyan also knew that Datang was so powerful that he was ready to pay a huge price.
But he never expected that the price would be too great.
The military strength of Jicheng was directly consumed by two-thirds of this battle!
The steppe cavalry he brought with him also lost a third of the battle in this battle.
Even the invincible divine cavalry is at a disadvantage in the duel of heavy cavalry.
The death of the two hundred divine cavalry was a resounding slap in the face of the temple.
also hit Yongyan in the face.
Yongyan subconsciously touched his lower abdomen, and there was a knife wound here.
If it weren't for the Datang heavy cavalry that slashed him, it was already the end of the crossbow, and this knife would probably kill him.
But as long as he thought of the look in the eyes of that Tang heavy horse when he rushed towards him, Yongyan would feel a little cold.
He thought that he had seen the fiercest and most ruthless group of people in the world, but it wasn't until he saw this Tang Dynasty heavy rider that Yongyan understood that he still hadn't seen much after all.
If you can win this time, there is a lot of luck.
But then again, no matter what the price is, they will be the winners in the end, aren't they?
So, you should be happy.
This is the largest defeat that Datang has suffered since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and this battle is a battle that changes the pattern of the Great Wilderness, and it is a battle that can go down in history!
Yongyan quickly collected his thoughts and set his eyes on Guo Zhenying in front of him again.
Guo Zhenying didn't look at him, but locked his eyes on Prince Yan's body.
"How do you feel?" asked Guo Zhenying.
It's a little inexplicable to hear this, but the subtext in Guo Zhenying's words, Prince Yan couldn't be clearer.
He wanted to ask himself what it was like to be a traitor.
Prince Yan also walked out of the grief of losing his father, at least showed that he walked out, and regained the bearing that a prince should have: "It feels good." ”
"It seems that what Marshal Meng said is right, Yan people are naturally rebellious. Guo Zhenying said.
"Huh. Prince Yan retorted: "It is really a great irony for this to come out of the mouths of you Tang people! For hundreds of years, my Great Yan Kingdom has been living hard under the obscenity of your Tang Kingdom, and the Tang army can enter the forbidden land of my Yan Kingdom at will, and your generals can call my father and emperor at will. The king of a country is not even as good as a farmer in your eyes. If we say that we have backbones, it is also forced out by your Tang Army!"
"What a high-sounding statement. Guo Zhenying said contemptuously: "Directly erased Datang's help to you, and focused on those inconsequential details." Datang's kindness to you over the years seems to have been in vain, I knew that you were like this, it was better to raise a dog, so that it would not bite the owner back. ”
Prince Yan's face turned pale: "We are not slaves of the Tang people. ”
"Then are you going to be King Jinzuo's slave now, or are you going to be a dog in the temple?" Guo Zhenying said: "Datang asked you to be a man, but you don't want to." ”
"You ......" Prince Yan was so angry that he couldn't find a rebuttal for a while, and his face turned red.
At this time, Yongyan stood up, he took over the conversation, and said: "General Guo is indeed as described in the rumors, he is a well-spoken person. ”
Guo Zhenying glanced at Yongyan and didn't bother to take care of him.
Yongyan didn't think about it, and continued: "But does General Guo think that with a few words, he can destroy the will of the Yan people? Now that victory is in our hands, no matter how sharp our words are, they look extremely pale.
After listening to this description, Guo Zhenying sighed again: "You are right, we still lost after all." ”
A smile appeared on Yongyan's face that only a victor can have, "So General Guo is no better than his tongue." ”
Guo Zhenying said lightly: "I'm just explaining the facts." ”
"General Guo, for the sake of you and your soldiers being so brave, I will give you a decent person, you can kill yourself. Yongyan said.
Prince Yan's eyes widened in an instant, as the culprit who killed his father, Prince Yan couldn't wait to put Guo Zhenying to death with skin cramps and Ling Chi, and then hang his head on the wall of Jicheng for 7749 days!
Guo Zhenying said: "I will definitely die, but before I die, there are still a few questions, if you can, you might as well answer them? Anyway, I can't send the news back, you have the right to satisfy my personal curiosity, how about it?"
Prince Yan hurriedly said: "You don't have to tell him this, hand him over to me, the people of Yan Kingdom need his head!"
Yongyan waved his hand and said to Guo Zhenying, "I don't know if General Guo has anything to ask?"
Prince Yan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a chill.
It turned out that whether he was facing Datang or Yongyan, he couldn't get the respect he deserved.
But there is nothing to be done about it, the wheel of war has already started, and it cannot be stopped unless it is broken.
"Why are you cooperating?" asked Guo Zhenying.
Yongyan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Guo Zhenying's first question to be so ...... Stupidity.
With Guo Zhenying's wisdom, it is really staggering to ask such a question.
"For there is no other country in your eyes. Prince Yan helped Yongyan answer this question, "People who are not from my clan will have different hearts, although the academy claims to be educated without class, although the Tang Dynasty will also absorb students from other countries, although your court will also absorb officials from other countries, but you are consuming the concept of the homeland in the hearts of these people, all foreigners will become Tang people after staying in the Tang Dynasty for a few years, and they do not have any feelings for their homeland." ”
"In the long run, our talents will become Datang's talents, our national strength will become weaker and weaker, and we will eventually become Datang's puppets. No country wants to become a vassal of another country, so we have to resist, we have to overthrow the Tang Dynasty!"
These words were loud and sonorous.
But Guo Zhenying saw a touch of emptiness on Prince Yan's face.
It shows that he also knows that these words sound high-sounding, but in fact, they lack confidence.
Guo Zhenying thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I agree with your logic, but cooperate with him? ”
After speaking, Guo Zhenying pointed at Yongyan: "A lost dog, a slave with three surnames, and a garbage who was abandoned by his homeland, abandoned by the Daomen, and survived on the grassland, will become your cooperation object." I have to wonder what you have in your head, it's all water?"
Yongyan smiled faintly and said: "Commander Guo's methods are inevitably a little too subordinate, this kind of divisive scheme is so funny in my opinion, as for your evaluation of me, I will not make a defense, because you Tang people have always looked down on other countries." Thinking about it on the other hand, I should feel proud to receive such a high 'praise' from General Guo. ”
Guo Zhenying said: "I still underestimate you a little after all, Prince Yongyan." ”
"Prizes. Yongyan said.
Guo Zhenying said: "Last question, Prince Yan, you blocked your back road completely, didn't you think that after defeat, you would be so crazy to retaliate against my Datang? That is not only revenge on you, but also on the entire Yan Kingdom." At that time, it was not just as simple as the death of an emperor, the entire Yan Kingdom would definitely be trampled by my Tang Iron Cavalry!"
