Spartacus shot like the wind, and before Yang Wanchun could react, the spear had already sunk into his chest.

"Ding Dong, it was detected that Yang Wanchun was killed by Spartacus, and the host gained 10 soul points, and the current total number of soul points rose to 435."

Spartacus shouted angrily, and Yang Wanchun's corpse flew out, and then strode forward, like a tiger entering a flock, the spear in his hand was wide open, and the wind was howling, killing the Goguryeo soldiers behind Yang Wanchun, and the dead and wounded everywhere.

Zhang Shuye originally saw Yang Wanchun bravely and unstoppably kill the city, but his heart was already like ashes, and he secretly clenched his sword, as long as the city gate was lost, he would immediately commit suicide and martyrdom. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed, and the Goguryeo soldiers who were still following Yang Wanchun to kill the city wall violently fled one by one in panic, stumbling and embarrassed.

Uncle Zhang was surprised when he saw this, and hurriedly led a few of his own soldiers forward, only to find that a strong man with yellow hair and blue eyes was taking the lead in chasing and killing Goguryeo soldiers.

"The ancestor of a certain family is a native of Anguo in the Western Regions, who was exiled to the grassland when he was young, and was rescued by Princess Yicheng, and came to repay the favor today!"

Spartacus looked up at Zhang Shuye at the head of the city, saw him dressed in a purple robe, and secretly said that this must be the chief official in the city, and immediately identified him.

"It's really heaven helping the Great Sui, if it weren't for the strong man today, Licheng would have been lost!"

Uncle Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly commanded his soldiers to cooperate with Spartacus to clear the Goguryeo soldiers who had already landed in the city.

Yizhi Wende, who was supervising the battle under the city, saw that Yang Wanchun had already killed the city, and immediately ordered the cavalry under his command to prepare and take advantage of the situation to enter the city as soon as the city gate opened.

Unexpectedly, he waited left and right, and never saw the gate of Licheng County open, and when he was wondering in his heart, there was a sudden thunder of joy on the head of the city, and the Goguryeo soldiers who were still bravely advancing suddenly retreated, and from time to time someone screamed and fell down the city.

After a while, a bloody head was hung on the head of the gun by the Sui army, picking out the city wall, and a pair of eyes opened the boss, full of astonishment and shock, who is it not Yang Wanchun?

"Report!" At this moment, a scout urged the horse to gallop in front of Yizhi Wende, and said: "General, the Sui generals Qin Qiong and Di Qing have already led the army to break out of the encirclement of our army and the Tang army, and are rushing to Licheng, according to which it is less than thirty miles. ”

Yizhi Wende couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, and scolded: "What are Li Jiancheng and Yuangai Suwen doing, why did they let the Sui army kill them so quickly?" ”

There are not many defenders in Licheng, even if there is a fierce general in the city who can kill Yang Wanchun, as long as he is ruthless and attacks at any cost with his strength advantage, he can also break through the city. But this will take time, especially now that Yang Wanchun's morale is damaged, it will take even longer.

"Retreat, the whole army retreats!" Yizhi Wende unwillingly glanced at Yang Wanchun's head on the city wall, stretched out his hand, and ordered with hatred.

Soon after the Goguryeo army retreated, Qin Qiong and Di Qing led their troops back to Licheng, immediately pulled up the drawbridge and closed the city gate.

Li Jiancheng and Yuangai Suwen followed with tens of thousands of victorious divisions, and halfway through the road they converged with the Yizhi Wende Division, and the three-way army marched into Licheng Xiazhai with great momentum.

。。。。。。。。。。

The battle report of Qingzhou was delivered to Yang Gao in the form of an eight-hundred-mile expedited. Although Yang Gao had already guessed some through the system, the loss of this battle still shocked Yang Gao.

After reading the battle report, Yang Gao hurriedly summoned Xue Rengui, Liu Bowen, Chang Yuchun, Fang Xuanling and other civil and military personnel to come over to discuss the matter.

"The Goguryeo army broke into Qingzhou, and Qin Qiong was killed by surprise, losing more than 9,000 soldiers and horses. If it weren't for a native of the Western Regions named Spartacus, who had received the favor of Princess Yicheng in his early years, he helped and killed the Goguryeo general Yang Wanchun to protect Licheng, I am afraid that Qin Qiong's troops would have been wiped out at this moment. ”

Yang Gao said slowly while handing over the battle report in his hand to everyone in the tent for circulation.

"I can't imagine that Li Jiancheng, a thief, actually colluded with Goguryeo, it's really damned!" Chang Yuchun scolded angrily after reading the battle report.

"Hmph, when Li Yuan's thief raised troops in Taiyuan, he turned to the Turks for help, and now his son is not surprised to collude with Goguryeo in order to seize Qingzhou." The backer Yang Lin was calm at the moment, but the irony implied in his words was heard by everyone.

"I originally remembered the blood relationship between the Li family and me, and I heard that Li Jiancheng was generous and benevolent, and had the style of an elder. plans to leave him alive after destroying Tang in the coming day, leaving a bloodline for the Li family. But now it seems that all the sons of the Li family should be damned! ”

Yang Gao's eyes showed murder, and then he changed his words: "But the current situation in Qingzhou is unfavorable, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Fang Xuanling thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the situation in Qingzhou is not too bad, although Qin Qiong and General Di Qing were caught off guard by Goguryeo, they lost their troops and lost their generals. But fortunately, God blessed the Great Sui, and with the strong man from the Western Regions to help, Licheng County was not lost. ”

Yang Gao suddenly came to his senses and said: "What Fang Qing said is that when General Zhang Xutuo was the general of Qi County, in order to resist the bandits, he strengthened the city defense many times. With this strong city in hand, Qin Qiong's department should have no worries in a short period of time. ”

Fang Xuanling nodded slightly and continued: "Goguryeo and my Central Plains have a deep blood feud, even in Li Jiancheng's army, there are by no means a few people who have hatred for Goguryeo. Therefore, it is impossible for the two sides to be close, and it is impossible for them to dare to let go of the siege. ”

"What Brother Xuanling said is extremely true, Goguryeo is ambitious, and the original attack on Liaodong was defeated by Wanyan Agu, and this march to Qingzhou must also be planning to annex Qingzhou. Li Jiancheng should also know this, and sooner or later he will turn against Goguryeo! ”

Liu Bowen echoed Fang Xuanling's sentence and also put forward his own opinion: "However, according to Weichen's opinion, Your Majesty should send a team of soldiers and horses to rescue Qingzhou, and the number of people is not too much, 20,000 people are enough." Not for anything else, just to boost the morale of Qin Qiong's troops and horses. ”

"Qin Qiong's department has just suffered a big defeat and suffered heavy losses. If I ignore them, I will inevitably chill the hearts of the soldiers. ”

Yang Gao nodded in agreement, took out an arrow and gave orders: "Uncle Taihuang, I will order you to lead the army to aid Qingzhou." ”

"Don't (Your Majesty and be slow)!"

Yang Lin was about to step forward to receive the order, but Liu Bowen and Fang Xuanling spoke out together.

Seeing this, Yang Lin was immediately unhappy, his eyes widened slightly, and he said, "Do the two adults think that the old man is too old to be competent?" ”

"The old prince has misunderstood!" Liu Bowen hurriedly explained: "Xiaguan didn't mean to despise the old prince, the old prince is famous and I don't know who in the Great Sui. It's just that if the old prince leads the army to Qingzhou, who will be the main and who will be the deputy between you and Qin Qiong?

Qin Qiong himself is a person from Qi County, and he has no better understanding of the local situation, and he is also the best candidate to fight for the main general of Qingzhou.

As the saying goes, there are no two commanders in the first army, so the lower officials think that the commander of the reinforcements should not be a respected person like the old prince. ”
