Chapter 305: The Death of Ezhi Wende
"General!" A group of guards, frightened, exclaimed and held on to Ezhi Wende.
"Back... Return! Send someone to inform Yang Wanchun to answer, and then... Withdraw troops! Etozhi Wende struggled to grab the guard and said vigorously.
"Yes! Subordinates obey! The guard nodded hurriedly in response.
"Hmm!" Seeing that the guards heard it clearly, Ezhi Wende was relieved, let go of his hand and fainted again.
The guards were taken aback, probed with trembling hands, and saw that Ezhi Wende was still breathing, so he hurriedly said: "The general is dizzy, send him back to the city." ”
"Good!" The other guards hurriedly agreed, and then lifted Yizhi Wende with all hands and feet, and quickly rushed to the domestic city.
In a panic, the guards did another wrong thing, and they actually brought it with Otchi Wende's Dajiu.
It didn't take long for this situation to be discovered on the battlefield, and the soldiers besieging Zou Yu were immediately shocked, and after a short time, seeing that they could not win, someone finally began to evacuate.
This evacuation was not tight, and as soon as the others saw it, they immediately followed and ran. Things are changing so fast, Zou Yu is killing, killing, and suddenly finds that there is no opponent, looking around, the Goguryeo cavalry is being chased and killed by Xi Junmai and others; The foot pawn was not having a good time, Luo Cheng commanded the people, followed closely, caught up from time to time, and knocked the people who ran behind to the ground.
It is said that the first two defense points to collapse are naturally Li Yuanba, where Luo Shixin and the two fought, followed by Pei Yuanqing and defeated the opponent, without waiting for their help, Xue Wanche and others also gained an advantage.
Under the leadership of the rout, the entire country outside the city, thirty miles, everywhere deserters and pursuers, if you look down from a high place, you will find that it is really distributed in a range of thirty miles, hundreds of kilometers near, is a group of men and horses, and the far point is only more than a thousand meters, there is another group of men and horses fleeing.
The deserters and the pursuers, in these thirty miles, started a game of eagles catching chickens, and a group of people ran over screaming, followed by a group of chasing soldiers laughing and shouting.
Most of the soldiers fled towards the domestic city, but Han Qianxun, who originally blocked the city, has become a deserter at this time, at least in the west and northwest, the deserters can't get through.
Yuan Taizuo had been so shocked that the six gods had no owner, and looked blankly at Yang Wanchun arranging people to respond to the rout, but fortunately, they had a lot of traps, which made Zou Yu and them give up the pursuit, so they successfully received many people into the city, as for those who were still outside, there was nothing they could do.
There are more than 200,000 people, only more than 40,000 people, and more than 50,000 people who fled into the city, and they don't know where to go, nearly 60,000 were killed on the spot, and more than 40,000 people were captured.
Yang Wanchun wanted to cry without tears, he promised to support Goguryeo, but he didn't want a Goguryeo full of holes. More than 400,000 people have become more than 300,000, and then more than 100,000, and there are still people outside the key area.
Tens of thousands of troops entered the city, and the morale of the domestic city fell to a freezing point, and everyone lost their smiling faces, looking preoccupied, as if the sky was about to fall.
"How's the old general?" Yuan Taizuo asked expectantly.
He never thought that his son, who had high hopes, would die in battle, let alone that Eulzhi Wende would be defeated miserably, even worse than his son! An army of 200,000 is gone in a day.
Now that Yizhi Wende is unconscious, he doesn't trust Yang Wanchun so much, mainly because he doesn't believe that he can defend the domestic city.
"Still unconscious." Yang Wanchun shook his head and replied.
"This..."Yuan Taizuo frowned, walked back and forth, and then raised his head and asked, "What are General Yang's plans?" Can you hold the domestic city? ”
"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult! Yang Wanchun said bitterly, and then explained to Yuan Taizuo: "Originally, the last general still had the confidence to hold for a few months, but the army broke into the city, and now the people are panicked, the morale is completely gone, and the last general is really powerless." ”
"The general wants to withdraw his troops?" Yuan Taizuo's face changed and asked?
"More than 100,000 horses, as well as ordinary people, how to withdraw troops across the river? Besides, Jiangzhong has long been blocked. Yang Wanchun shook his head and said.
"What do you mean?" The more Yuan Taizuo listened, the more ugly his face became, and he stared at Yang Wanchun and asked.
"The last general wants to ask the king to negotiate peace, so that it can also boost morale a little." Yang Wanchun explained.
"What! Peace! Yuan Taizuo exclaimed, and then said in an angry voice with a distorted face: "The old man resolutely disagrees with this matter!" ”
"What is the best plan for the master of such an abyss family?" Yang Wanchun asked coldly.
"Pyongyang still has tens of thousands of troops, as long as they are transferred, the blockade can be lifted, and then the people will be recruited, and the enemy will definitely be defeated! You must know that they only have 100,000 horses, and after this big battle, they will definitely lose a lot! Yuan Taizuo said with a look in his eyes.
"Huh! Evacuate all the rear, and then Silla Baekje takes advantage of the weakness to enter, in this way, the head of the Yuan family thinks that the king will agree! Yang Wanchun sneered.
Yuan Taizuo also knew that what Yang Wanchun said was true, Gao Jianwu would never transfer the last soldiers and horses to support, I am afraid that if he knew about the defeat here, he would shrink his men and horses to protect himself.
Even if he understands that Yuan Taizuo still wants to drag Yang Wanchun and help defend the city, even if it is to make Zou Yu lose some more manpower and make him feel worse, Yuan Taizuo is willing.
"Yang Wanchun, you want to sell your country for glory!" Yuan Taizuo said expressionlessly.
"Humph! Don't bother the head of the Yuan family! Yang Wanchun said with a brush of his sleeves.
"Hehe, when the old man said that he was thinking, he was ashamed and angry!" Yuan Taizuo sneered.
"Humph! This is the instructions of the old general! Do you think Yang is like you, a snake and a rat at both ends! Yang Wanchun said with a glaring eye.
"Now that the old general is unconscious, of course you can say whatever you want!" Yuan Taizuo said disdainfully.
"How can this be true? Yang stands up to the sky, how can he lie! Yang Wanchun said angrily.
"General! The old general is awake! While the two were arguing, a soldier came to report in surprise.
The two of them couldn't care about arguing anymore, and hurriedly walked to the room not far away.
"Old General!" Yang Wanchun stepped forward quickly, walked in front of Yizhi Wende, and called softly.
Yizhi Wende's face was withered, and he looked terminally ill, pulling Yang Wanchun and choking up: "Losing tens of thousands of elites in a war, the old man is a sinner!" ”
"Why did the old general say this, the enemy is strong, this is not a crime of war!" Yang Wanchun hurriedly patted his hand lightly and comforted.
"The most unforgivable thing is that the old man still doesn't know how to lose! How did they deploy their troops? And which of our teams are still alive? Yizhi Wende looked at Yang Wanchun and said, slightly anxiously waiting for Yang Wanchun to explain to him.
"There is no way to know the specific situation, and the last general is ashamed! Only more than 50,000 people returned to the city, and the news they heard from their mouths was too strange to count;
There are only two things that can be determined, there are many heavily armored soldiers outside the city, all iron-armoured, invulnerable; In addition, there are many fierce generals, because they are almost at the same time, blocking not only the city, but also the roads and rivers. Yang Wanchun replied.
This is the news he gathered according to the fleeing army, many of which he was puzzled by, such as why each team was won by others with less; Why 350,000 people can't beat more than 10,000 people, is this the degradation of the Goguryeo people, or the progress of others, why has the gap suddenly become so big.
Of course, he didn't understand that this was the power of elite soldiers and sophisticated equipment. Goguryeo people, apart from generals, who can be equipped with iron armor? Even Gao Jianwu's personal guards couldn't do it; And now Zou Yu's subordinates have equipped fifty percent of the soldiers, this is the gap.
If you don't encounter the arms of each other, this kind of elite can be completely a dozen or several, and when you cooperate with it, it will be even more powerful, as long as you are not besieged by soldiers of the same quality, if you want to win, it will be too difficult!
Zou Yu in front led 3,000 of the most elite foot soldiers, who could withstand 20,000 cavalry and kill a lot, but this was because there were too few people and they were besieged; This time it was an active attack, not only were there many fierce generals, but they were all foot combat, which made this advantage greater.
It's like a big truck, going towards a group of cars, if you don't crash into dozens of cars, you are all bruised, not to mention that it is the armored car that takes the lead; Yang Wanchun didn't understand very much, in just a few years, how did the soldiers of the Central Plains become so powerful, compared to Yang Guang's conquest back then, it made people feel unmatched.
Just like Etoji Wende, he didn't even know the reason for his loss, so he lost in a mess.
Several people looked at each other, and their eyes were blank, just like a mobile phone manufacturer said in later generations: "We didn't do anything wrong, but we lost!" ”
"The old man is unwilling!" Wing Zhi Wende sat up with red eyes and said.
"Yes! Old general, you have to cheer up, this domestic city, this Goguryeo, can't do without you! Yuan Taizuo smiled and stepped forward to support Ezhi Wende and said.
Yizhi Wende turned his head with difficulty and looked at Yuan Taizuo intently.
"Old general, what do you want to say?" Being stared at by Ezhi Wende with red eyes and an expressionless face, Yuan Taizuo asked in his heart.
Yizhi Wende's mouth is "Poof! With a mouthful, a mouthful of blood sprayed Yuan Taizuo's face.
Taken aback by the sudden change, Yuan Taizuo hurriedly let go of Yizhi Wende and took a few steps back.
"Old General! You..."Yuan Taizuo wiped the blood on his face, raised his head and asked, before he finished speaking, he saw Yang Wanchun rushing over.
"Old General!" Yang Wanchun looked at Ezhi Wende who hung his head, shouted softly, and seeing that there was no response at all, he couldn't help but stretch out his palm and tremble and touch Ezhi Wende's neck.
As soon as he touched it, Yang Wanchun retracted his hand violently and stood up and took a step back.
"How?" Although he guessed the result, Yuan Taizuo still swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty.
"The old general is gone!" Yang Wanchun's eyes lost focus and replied blankly.
"Poof!" Yuan Taizuo sat on the ground.
This is not to be sad about the death of Echiwende, but to feel hopeless about the future, and the death of Etozhiwende can be said to have lost all his hope of revenge.
Looking at Yang Wanchun, who had already knelt down, Yuan Taizuo's eyes kept rolling, thinking of a bold plan.
Yang Wanchun was unreliable and couldn't hold it, even Eulji Wende failed, and Yuan Taizuo didn't think that there was anyone else in Goguryeo who could help him.
"You have to do it yourself!" Yuan Taizuo thought to himself in his heart, and then did not say goodbye to Yang Wanchun, and quietly went out and left.
When he returned home, Yuan Taizuo immediately asked people to invite Zhong Zijin.
"Master Zhong, please take a seat!" Yuan Taizuo greeted warmly, and personally pulled Zhong Zijin down.
Zhong Zijin estimated Yuan Taizuo's intentions, smiled politely, and drank tea quietly.
"Huh! I can't hide it, I took the liberty to invite the head of the Zhong family to come today, and I really have something to ask for. Yuan Taizuo said with a dry laugh.
"Oh! How else can I help? You know, I'm powerless. Zhong Zijin said with a smile.
"Hey, hey! Why should the head of the Zhong family be modest, who doesn't know that you are familiar with Zou Changfeng. Yuan Taizuo said with half-squinted eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense, the head of the Yuan family is innocent, and he has nothing to do with Liaodong." Zhong Zijin hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"The head of the Zhong family doesn't have to be busy refusing, listen to me first." Yuan Taizuo said.
"Master of the Yuan family, please speak."
"Etoji Wende is dead!" Yuan Taizuo said lightly.
"What?" Zhong Zijin stood up in surprise and asked, then calmed down and continued to ask, "How long has it been?" ”
"Just now, this news should have been blocked by Yang Wanchun." Yuan Taizuo replied.
"It's not surprising that the news is blocked, but once it gets out, I'm afraid it's even more confusing; But the old general is gone at this time, which is really sad and worrying! Zhong Zijin said worriedly.
"Goguryeo is finished! Could it be that the head of the Zhong family thinks that Yang Wanchun can defend the domestic city? Yuan Taizuo said coldly.
"What do you mean, Master Yuan? There are still more than 100,000 horses in the domestic city, and there is no problem in guarding it for a year and a half. Zhong Zijin asked after a moment of silence.
"Why should the head of the Zhong family deceive himself, now that the people in the city are panicked and want to hold on, how is it possible, not to mention that you think there are reinforcements?" Yuan Taizuo asked rhetorically.
"Just say what the head of the Yuan family means, Zhong is stupid and can't guess what you mean."
"I want to take refuge in Liaodong, and I also want to ask the head of the Zhong family to match, and I will be grateful afterwards." Yuan Taizuo said solemnly.
"There's nothing you can do about it!" Looking at Yuan Taizuo, who had a serious face, Zhong Zijin was silent for a while, and then said.
"In the future, the Yuan family will look forward to you!" Yuan Taizuo suddenly said a word and increased his chips.
Zhong Zijin was moved for a while, but he still shook his head with difficulty and said: "This thing really can't be done, after all, you father and son have three generations, and two generations of dead are in their hands, no one will believe it." ”
"But I am the head of the Yuan family, and I have to be responsible for the safety of the 160 people of the Yuan family, so I don't want anything else, I just want to ask for a way to live!" Yuan Taizuo explained sadly.
"Do your best to do this, and I will write a letter to explain it to the prince." Zhong Zijin was concerned, nodded approvingly and said.
"Not only that, but so-and-so is willing to open the city gate and lead the army into the city!" Yuan Taizuo continued.
