30,000 Goguryeo soldiers and horses slaughtered to Zhangqiu County under the command of Yuangai Suwen. The morale of this army was unusually high, and it seemed that it was not hit by the burning of the Yucheng grain camp at all.

This is because before leaving, Yuangai Suwen promised his soldiers and horses that after capturing Zhangqiu, military discipline would no longer be restricted, and the soldiers could rob the Han people at will in the city, and all the finances obtained would be their own.

This order of Yuangai Suwen immediately boosted the morale of the whole army, and all the soldiers were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Is it any wonder? After all, the Goguryeo soldiers at the bottom were not Yuangai Suwen, and they did not have the same ambition as him. The purpose of their coming to Qingzhou was just to rob and take the opportunity to make a windfall.

However, after the alliance between Yuangai Suwen and Li Jiancheng, under the persecution of many civil and military ministers of the Tang Army, Yuangai Suwen had no choice but to force his troops and horses to strictly abide by military discipline and not disturb the people.

However, this approach did not fundamentally solve the problem, but because of the long-term repression, the inner desire and killing of the Goguryeo soldiers and horses increased day by day, and now with the order of Yuangai Suwen, everyone has become the devil of desire in an instant.

Yuangai Suwen raised his head and stared at Zhangqiu City in front of him for a moment, the city was already full of soldiers with bows and crossbows, but the leather armor on their bodies, the bows and crossbows in their hands and the spears were crude. Moreover, every time Yuan Gai Suwen's eyes swept over, he could always see a few soldiers constantly swinging, looking very flustered and scared.

Yuangai Suwen sneered, this was what he expected. Qingzhou has been war-torn for a long time, and the local garrison has either been withdrawn or defeated by bandits, or even assimilated and absorbed. And the Tang and Sui armies were unlikely to disperse their forces to recover these counties that were insignificant to the battle situation without a score.

Therefore, in Yuangai Suwen's opinion, these soldiers guarding the city should be just village warriors organized by the local people themselves, and it may be okay to deal with a few small thieves to maintain local law and order. But if you want to stop your 30,000 army, hmph, it's a mantis arm as a car!

Yuan Gai Suwen waved his horsewhip and ordered in a loud voice: "Pass my military order, the whole army will cut down trees and build ladders nearby, attack the city in an hour, and do whatever you want after the city is broken!" ”

30,000 Goguryeo soldiers and horses suddenly cheered in unison, and many soldiers hurried to the surrounding mountains and forests, perhaps thinking that they could make a fortune after breaking the city.

"Siege!"

Yuangai Suwen was overjoyed when he saw this, and knew that the morale of the whole army was now strong, so he immediately changed his mind and ordered to attack the city immediately.

Knock knock knock!!

The drums of the attack sounded, and the 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers rushed towards the city like a pack of hungry wolves. In their eyes, Zhangqiu County in front of them is no longer a county seat, but a happy land that is about to bring them carnival.

"Shoot the arrows!"

At this moment, a neutral voice suddenly sounded over the city. At the same time, the villagers who were originally standing on the city wall retreated one after another, and a group of Sui soldiers with bright armor and full of spirit suddenly appeared on the city, and without saying a word, they bent their bows and arrows and shot towards the city.

Whoosh!!

Arrows rained down on the city's head, and Goguryeo, who was shouting and charging forward, was suddenly hit head-on, and for a while, countless Goguryeo soldiers screamed and fell to the ground with arrows, and the formation was suddenly thrown into chaos.

"What's going on? What's going on? ”

The Goguryeo fierce general An Dianbao, who led the army to the forefront, was also startled by the overwhelming feather arrows, and hurriedly waved the pair of silver hammers in his hand to block the feather arrows, and looked up from the gap, but saw that in the middle of the defenders of the city, a military general with a pale golden face, colorful eyebrows, and starry eyes stood by his sword, looking at himself coldly.

"Qin Qiong!"

An Dianbao quickly recognized this Sui general, and immediately felt bad, and immediately stopped charging forward, turned around and looked for Yuan Gai Suwen.

"Major General, the big thing is not good, the last general saw Qin Qiong in the city just now, I'm afraid that the Sui army has long expected our movements and made preparations in advance!" After An Dianbao found Yuangai Suwen, he immediately showed him the situation.

"How could the Sui army know that we were coming to attack Zhangqiu?" Yuangai Suwen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he reacted, gritted his teeth and said, "Li Jiancheng, you are really ruthless, you actually betrayed me!" ”

Hearing this, An Dianbao asked with some confusion: "Major General, isn't Li Jiancheng our ally?" How could he betray us? ”

"Hmph, we were allies before, but now we're not!" After all, Yuangai Suwen is a famous generation of heroes in Goguryeo, and he has already figured out Li Jiancheng's intentions in a moment of stunned: "Li Jiancheng attaches great importance to his reputation, and our plundering of Qingzhou will definitely have a great impact on his reputation, so he is eager to dissociate himself from us."

In addition, if my prediction is correct, Li Jiancheng, the dog thief, should have planned to leave Qingzhou, and he was afraid that the Sui army would pursue him, so he used us as bait to cover his safe evacuation. ”

Hearing this, Hou Fangyu, a strategist on the side, hurriedly advised: "Young General, if things are really as you expected, then the Sui army is probably already surrounded by ambushes, so hurry up and order the withdrawal of the army!" ”

An Dianbao also nodded and agreed: "Major General, let's withdraw quickly while the Sui army's ambush has not yet closed, I'm afraid we will be wiped out if it's too late!" ”

"Withdraw? General An, Mr. Hou, do you think we can still withdraw? ”

Yuangai Suwen smiled bitterly and said, "There is no turning back when you open the bow!" Now the reason why the soldiers are still willing to follow me is because I promised them that after the city is broken, they can wantonly plunder the Han people in the city, and I now order the withdrawal of the army, do you think they will listen? What's more, our army only has less than two days of food and grass left, and even if we are lucky enough to withdraw, we will collapse without a fight after two days! ”

Hou Fangyu's face turned pale, and he hurriedly asked, "Young General, how is this good?" ”

Yuangai Suwen's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said in a deep voice: "There is no other way to do it now, but to break the cauldron and sink the boat, take advantage of the fact that the Sui army has not yet closed the ambush and go all out to capture Zhangqiu, and then use the lives of the Han people in the city to negotiate with the Sui army, and let them let us go back to Goguryeo, this is our only way to survive at present!" ”

"Okay, young general, let's fight Sui Junbo now!"

An Dianbao nodded heavily at Yuangai Suwen, turned around and returned to the battlefield, a pair of big silver hammers wielded vigorously, constantly striking arrows falling from the sky, and his legs flew towards the city wall.

"Ding Dong, An Dianbao has been detected to have entered a state of death, force +6, base force 100, and the current force has risen to 106."
