Defeat is like a mountain!

This is not an exaggeration at all.

There is a saying in later generations that when a unit's battle losses reach about 10%, it will lose its combat effectiveness.

When the battle damage reaches 30%, it will be completely defeated.

Let's not say whether this figure is reasonable and whether it is suitable for the troops of all countries.

However, Goguryeo's 20,000-strong army lost more than half of it in less than half an hour, and there was no doubt that it was defeated.

Xue Rengui naturally would not miss the fighter plane, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack.

Although the two-legged ones could not run on four legs, the Goguryeo cavalry completely lost their formation, and under the impact of the Tang phalanx, there was no effective resistance at all.

"Xuanwu, you take the rest of the people on the ship and go to Pyongyang City! When these routs flee back, it will be the best time for us to take Pyongyang. At the same time, carrier pigeons and signals were released, so that the personnel of the city's intelligence investigation bureau immediately took action. ”

When Xue Rengui ordered the whole army to attack, Li Kuan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

This big war can be regarded as completely stable.

Now the Goguryeo army that has returned from the frontier will be able to rush back as soon as the day after tomorrow, and the city of Pyongyang will already be under the control of the Tang army.

Li Kuan has a way to clean them up.

"Lord Wang, if most of the people get off the boat, what will happen to your safety?"

This time, the team led by Li Kuan only had a total of about 20,000 people, and just now Xue Rengui and the others had already taken half of them, and the rest were mainly the crew members of each ship and some of the guards.

Now, according to Li Kuan's intentions, except for the necessary personnel, everyone else went to hunt down and kill the Goguryeos.

Wang Xuanwu was naturally worried about whether there would be any accidents.

"In this way, aren't there hundreds of civilian ships behind the army? Those merchants are very life-sparing, and they all bring a lot of family guards, you ask Wang Fugui to inform him, and say that in the city of Pyongyang, a great fortune is already waiting for everyone, and whoever enters the city will get more benefits. ”

Li Kuan naturally couldn't let all the crew get off the ship to fight, and the ship still needed to maintain the necessary personnel to ensure that the fleet could move normally.

Otherwise, if the battle was a bit unexpected and the fleet attacked Goguryeo's reinforcements, it would be a lot of fun.

……

"Quick! Hurry up! ”

At the temporary station of the hot air balloon battalion, Zhu Fufu was directing the logistics personnel to replenish the hot air balloon with crossbow arrows and fire oil bombs.

Now that the army is preparing to storm the city, it is time for the hot air balloon battalion to play its special role.

Zhu Fufu naturally would not miss such a good opportunity for meritorious service.

"Aye, I think it's necessary to keep a dozen hot air balloons specifically for manning. We transported all the best guards in the battalion to the top of the Pyongyang city wall by hot air balloon to see if we could find an opportunity to open the city gate and guide the army directly into the city! ”

Zhu Jin, as Zhu Fufu's eldest son, is now also a team leader in the hot air balloon camp.

His brain is more flexible than Zhu Fufu's, and he knows how to be flexible in time.

"Okay, just do as you say! However, everyone must be careful and be mentally prepared, if you slide down from the hot air balloon through the cable, you will immediately be surrounded by Goguryeo, which is a life-or-death task. ”

Zhu Fufu thought about it for a few seconds, and knew that although Zhu Jin's proposal was a bit risky, once it was successful, the effect was very good.

"Okay! That...... Take care! ”

Zhu Jin proposed such a plan, and he naturally did not hesitate to enter Pyongyang City as one of the first adventurers.

"You...... You are also careful...... Be careful! ”

Zhu Fufu was stunned for a moment, but finally agreed.

Why should other people's sons be able to charge ahead, but not their own?

……

In the city of Pyongyang, chaos has already begun.

Goguryeo's 20,000 troops went out of the city, and for such an important event, the city walls were naturally full of soldiers and some nobles standing there to watch.

Thanks to the fact that the walls of Pyongyang are high enough and the outside of the walls is open enough, although everyone can not see the specific situation of the war clearly, it can still be seen the progress of the war and who will win and who will lose.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people on horseback, and the dark crowd was slowly becoming scattered, many people knew that something was wrong.

By the time the remnants of Goguryeo's cavalry began to retreat, some of the clever nobles already knew what to do.

The Tang army outside the city basically had no cavalry.

As long as the speed is fast enough, you can completely escape from Pyongyang City and go to Liaodong.

In their opinion, Seoul has fallen, and the city of Pyongyang is now in danger, so as long as there is an opportunity, it is natural to run out.

Of course, there are only a few people who have this kind of determination.

Many people believe that with more than 10,000 soldiers in the city, there is no problem in holding Pyongyang.

"Whoever takes down the head of Yuan Gai Suwen will be the future big pair Lu!"

"That Yuan Gai Suwen's head can be exchanged for a thousand taels of gold!"

"The Don Army treats prisoners preferentially, don't make fearless resistance!"

"Whoever surrenders first will be promoted to the third level immediately!"

The personnel of the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Chu Wangfu also began to act.

By bribing some beggars and homeless people in Pyongyang, within half an hour, the news spread everywhere.

Some of the soldiers who stood on the city wall and watched the whole battle today began to liven their minds.

More than 20,000 cavalry can't defeat 10,000 infantry, and the most important thing is that it seems that the Tang Dynasty has no losses, and Goguryeo is about to be wiped out.

How to fight this battle?

Resistance may be death, but surrender may well be a source of glory and wealth.

How to choose?

Don't look at Goguryeo, which has been established for hundreds of years, but the people in the country generally do not have a strong sense of honor for their family and country.

In addition, Datang is powerful and is a vassal state of many countries, so there is no big psychological obstacle to surrendering to Datang.

For a while, the eyes of the defenders in the city flickered a little.

As the actual ruler of Goguryeo, Yongae Su-mun, although he did not see it with his own eyes, he could also feel the mood of the army in Pyongyang.

"Mo Lizhi, I have already closed the city gate according to your orders, even the soldiers who went out before are not allowed to enter the city! Calculate the time, in another quarter of an hour, the Tang army should be under the city. ”

In the palace, an official cautiously reported the situation to Yuan Gai Suwen.

Yuan Gai Suwen, who had just become furious, had already killed three officials in one go, and he didn't want to be the fourth.

"Pass the order! All soldiers, after this battle, will have a heavy reward! Then tell everyone that the elite reinforcements led by Da Lang are already on the way, and as long as everyone holds on for two days, the Tang army will definitely be defeated when the time comes. ”

Although Yuangai Suwen has a very strong personal combat effectiveness, he also has some strategies.

But in the face of today's situation, he is also helpless.

Just now, he was also standing on the city wall and watched this battle.

And, compared with others, he still has the only pair of "clairvoyance" that he bought with a lot of money.

So what kind of powerful army he is facing now, Yuangai Suwen knows better than anyone else.

Growing up, Yuangai Suwen had never seen such a battle as it did today.

He wouldn't even believe it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and been told about it.

In a way, he can be regarded as witnessing a piece of history.
