Chapter 752: Vague Victory
"Open the door!"
"Open the door!"
"No!"
"Go away!"
At the gate of Pyongyang, the retreating thousands of cavalry breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they had finally picked up a life.
Today's scene is really terrifying.
However, these people just breathed a sigh of relief, but they found that the gates of Pyongyang City had no intention of opening them at all.
What's going on?
Don't they know who is under the walls?
That's the elite of Goguryeo, the cronies of Mo Lizhi.
Now they won't even let the city gates in?
Seeing that the pursuing phalanx of the Tang army in the distance was getting closer and closer, these people became irritable.
The cavalry under the city walls and the defenders poking their heads out of the city walls had meaningless exchanges there.
"Whoosh!"
An archer under the city wall who was in a state of panic shot an arrow directly at the city wall.
Although this guy was emotionally broken, his archery skills were really good, and he shot a defender of the city directly with one arrow.
With him taking the lead, some deserters who had long been dissatisfied in their hearts, regardless of the three, seven, twenty-one, also followed and shot at the city wall.
It's worth it!
The defenders on the city wall naturally did not dare to show weakness.
You deserters, how dare you be so arrogant?
Look for death!
Without waiting for the generals to come out to restrain them, the Goguryeo people fought on their own.
An inexplicable siege battle began so strangely.
Although the Goguryeo cavalry could not fly to the city wall, the arrows of these people were desperately shooting towards the city wall, and for a while, the screams were endless.
Not far away, Xue Rengui, who was slowly moving forward with a large army, looked at the scene in front of him in amazement.
Could it be that among the retreating Goguryeo people, there are spies of the Tang Dynasty?
Impossible!
So far, there has been no official contact between the two sides.
Even if Tang Jun has the heart to enter, there is no chance.
And in the sky, the hot air balloon camp, which was getting closer and closer to the city gate, was also a little hesitant to see this scene.
Which side are you going to attack?
Do you want to take a look at the excitement first?
"Flag Dance! All the hot air balloons follow me to the city gates! ”
Zhu Fufu has been by Li Kuan's side for so many years, and he is no longer the reckless man he was at the beginning.
At this time, he suddenly realized the importance of opening the city gates, and it seemed that he had risen to another level.
I saw him personally operating the hot air balloon and speeding towards the city gate.
Other hot air balloons that received the flag naturally followed.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Zhu Fufu's hot air balloon began to drop bombs near the city gate.
In order to let the fire oil bomb fall as much as possible in the area around the city gate, Zhu Fufu risked the danger to lower the hot air balloon to a relatively low height.
Fortunately, although the defenders on the city wall spotted the uninvited guests in the sky, because they were shooting at the cavalry under the city, they couldn't stop decent men and horses from sniping the hot air balloon battalion.
Although there were not many fire oil bombs carried this time, hundreds of hot air balloons were thrown at the city gate together, and the power was still very scary.
In just a few minutes, the defenders at the city gate were dead and running.
Zhu Jin, who was on a special mission, decisively lowered the height of the hot air balloon, and when the balloon was about to fall to the same height as the city wall, he quickly slid down to the ground directly through the cable.
The others followed suit and landed quickly at the gates.
Then, regardless of whether the surrounding defenders surrendered or were ready to resist, as long as they saw the Goguryeo people, they directly served with crossbows.
In this way, it took five minutes, and Zhu Jin came to the city gate.
Everyone simply cleared the obstacles at the city gate, and slowly opened the gate of this ancient city.
"Retreat! Run to the walls! ”
Halfway through the city gate, Zhu Jin found that his eyes were in line with a Goguryeo outside.
At this time, he immediately reacted.
There is no need to continue to open the city gates, and people outside will naturally not miss this opportunity.
The top priority is to leave the city gate as soon as possible, and don't be the ghost of the Goguryeo rout!
Boom!
Boom!
The remaining Goguryeo cavalry, seeing the open gate, naturally swarmed towards the city.
At this time, they didn't care what they had just done or what pursuers were behind them.
Anyway, it is the right way to go to the city first, then find a shop, grab some money, and escape from the north gate quickly.
All of a sudden, the streets of Goguryeo were filled with the sound of horses' hooves and cries.
These red-eyed routs saw what they liked, and immediately stepped forward to grab it.
If the other party resists a little, he will immediately send a knife.
Especially when I saw the richly dressed nobles, these people used to be high, but now they have found a chance for revenge.
Disorderly!
It's a mess!
It's all messed up!
In the city of Pyongyang, the already panicked situation was completely out of control the moment the troops entered the city!
Although after Yuangai Suwen got the news, he immediately personally took a group of soldiers and horses out of the palace to try to regain control of order in the city.
However, this effort is obviously in vain.
Under the influence of the rout, and at the instigation of the personnel of the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Chu Palace, many ninth-rate people in the city took this opportunity to start burning and looting.
Human nature, sometimes just can't stand the test.
Even some ordinary people who originally seemed harmless to humans and animals have now burst out of the dark side of their hearts.
Anyway, when Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai cautiously entered the city with an army of 10,000, they couldn't understand the situation in the city at all.
In addition to accepting prisoners and maintaining order, the Don army hardly met decent resistance.
Needless to say, those routs, where do they still have the courage to resist?
Seeing the shadow of Tang Jun, he hurriedly ran away.
And the original soldiers in the city, seeing that the general trend had gone, and then thinking of the various rumors that suddenly circulated in the city, also surrendered one after another.
This victory is a bit confusing.
"Jun Mai, our troops divided into two routes, along the main highway in the city of Pyongyang, and quickly quelled the riots. Goguryeo reinforcements will arrive soon, and we must hold Pyongyang firmly in our hands until they arrive. ”
Xue Rengui was not carried away by the victory in front of him, but keenly felt the crisis.
The sooner you are happy now, the greater the losses you may suffer later.
After all, the Tang Dynasty only has more than 10,000 soldiers who can get off the ship to fight, and if it does not rely on Pyongyang City, it is really impossible to win the victory in the face of tens of thousands of Goguryeo border troops at that time.
Don't look at today's war so smooth, but there are too many unrepeatables in it.
Even to some extent, all wars are unique and take place under specific circumstances.
"Understood! Anyone with a weapon on the street, as long as he does not surrender, will be killed immediately! All the personnel returned home, and half an hour later, the Goguryeo people who were still walking on the street were also killed! ”
Xi Junmai was much more straightforward than Xue Rengui, and directly proposed his own tough measures.
