Chapter 436: Slave City, Roar!
It has been three months since the expedition, and although there is a military situation sent back to Datang, Li Fangchen's mood has not relaxed for a moment.
Goguryeo's action like this, will it be too simple?
According to Na Yuan Gai Suwen's character, he has played tricks in the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, how can he be willing to face the Tang Dynasty alone?
But Li Fangchen couldn't think of what else Yuan Gai Suwen could do.
Several countries at the junction of the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo have now been swallowed by Goguryeo.
Yuangai Suwen, can you find any reinforcements?
There is one more thing, that is, the front line, what is the situation on Li Xiaogong's side?
When the information was sent back, at least five days apart, it was not at all within Li Fangchen's control.
At the moment, he wished he had two cell phones so he could get in touch with Eleven at any time.
Also anxious is Li Shimin, the 30,000 Tang Army, if it really loses without any results, he himself can't stand it.
But judging from the current military situation, the two sides have not yet been at war.
The new road army is difficult to travel, and must be divided into thousands of people to pass slowly.
It took seven days for Li Xiaogong and others to make a detour to the back of Liaocheng.
But after really seeing it, everyone realized that their understanding of Goguryeo was too shallow.
What caught my eye turned out to be a slave city, and Liaocheng became a slave city!
In the dense tunnels outside the city, blood and stench are coming, and there are more than 10,000 floating corpses.
The broken arm of the remnants is not to be mentioned, just the mutilated body, and the outfit that is obviously dressed by the Tang people, it is not difficult to see how terrible the punishment this Tang people have received.
Where can Li Xiaogong care how many enemy troops there are in this city, his face flushed with rage, roaring and roaring!
"Whole army, rush!"
Eleven horses were accompanied by Li Xiaogong, and the spears in their hands were already in battle.
As soon as the 30,000-strong army arrived in Liaocheng, their first war began.
A roar rang out, and the defenders of the city were immediately on guard.
It's just that they didn't expect the enemy to appear behind them, so there were not many artillery garrisons at the north gate.
Because of this, a disaster for Li Xiaogong and others was avoided.
You must know that the south gate, which was supposed to be the one they had to pass through, had already erected two thousand cannons.
There are also dense mine positions outside the South City Gate, and the Goguryeo people are completely calculating the Tang Dynasty, and even have planned every step to deal with the Tang Dynasty.
The war horses charged, but the Tang artillery did not sound a sound.
Counting hundreds of thousands of people in Liaocheng and Yingzhou in this city, they are all Tang blood!
"Kill!"
Raising the horse lance, Li Xiaogong almost roared hoarsely.
10,000 people charged, and the defenders in the city quickly responded.
Then a group of people rushed out, and threw a burning clay pot at them!
Eleven hurriedly shouted, "Get out of the way!" ”
"Bang!"
The explosion sounded, and hundreds of people landed on the road, injured and fell off their horses.
"There is death and no life!"
Li Xiaogong's roar resounded in his ears, accompanied by the roars of countless comrades, like a group of fierce beasts rushing towards their prey.
Seeing that the two sides were about to face a hand-to-hand battle, the Goguryeo defenders were not in a hurry, but asked people to quickly transport gunpowder to the northern city gate.
"For the great King of Goguryeo, for the great Goguryeo!"
The Goguryeo warriors fought desperately to the death and used their bodies to resist the frenzied attack of the Tang army.
Eleven sharp-eyed, he found that something was wrong in the city, and hurriedly shouted to Li Xiaogong: "Dashuai, the top soldiers break through, and the other party wants to bomb the city and end up together!" ”
Li Xiaogong scolded angrily, "This group of vicious dogs really deserves to die!" ”
The movements of his hands did not decrease, and after killing two people in a row, he led a team of soldiers behind him to attack violently.
The defenders in the city were 5,000 people, and in the face of the Tang army, which was several times their size, they could not support it at all.
The gates had been blown away when they came, and they had to rely on their own bodies to defend themselves.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiaogong was given convenience, so that he had a chance to win in the first battle.
"Kill! Goguryeo people, no one is left, men and women are not forgiven! ”
If it were in the past, Li Xiaogong might have symbolically said that he would let go of the old, weak, sick and disabled, but after facing the suffering of the Tang people, he was angry, and he thought that all Goguryeo people should die!
A team of arrows rushed into the city, and when they saw that the Goguryeo soldiers were transporting gunpowder, Li Xiaogong's heart was shocking and shivering, and he really wanted to die together.
"Quick Kill!"
Thousands of horses galloped, seeing that the matter was exposed, and the excess gunpowder would not be able to be delivered for a while.
The Goguryeo guard gritted his teeth and lit the gunpowder, because he knew very well that they were not the opponents of the Tang army at all.
When the other party saw the slave city, it was already doomed to death.
Surrender?
There is no chance of survival at all, it is better to take a few more Don Army soldiers.
"Dashuai, be careful!"
Five guards pounced, followed by a loud bang.
Li Xiaogong was shocked to the point that his ears were bleeding, and the whole person was in a trance.
There were five people pressed on his body, and they were all breathing at this time.
Li Xiaogong hurriedly pushed them away, and the scene in front of him was even more unexpected than he expected.
"Damn Goguryeo maniac! This king will never die with you! ”
The Sharp Knife Team was completely annihilated, and hundreds of Tang people who were threatened by them to transport supplies were also implicated.
"Dashuai!"
Eleventh led the people to kill the enemy troops outside the city, rushed into the city, and saw that Li Xiaogong was fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xiaogong's eyes were red, and the anger in his heart continued to be aroused, and he half-knelt in front of the five corpses.
"Let's go, brothers! In a few days, the king will come to you to drink. ”
His life was saved, but his personal guards were few.
The war had just ended, but Li Xiaogong hurriedly arranged for the garrison.
"Quickly take over the city and collect the corpses of our soldiers!"
"Yes!"
Time does not allow him to have any possibility of remembrance, and now that Liaocheng has fired the first shot, the other party will definitely notice it soon.
There are still 50,000 living people in the city, all of whom are Tang people.
The elderly and the young occupy ninety percent, and women and children are barely visible.
After investigation, it was discovered that the women and children under the age of six were all taken further away by the Goguryeo people.
They were trapped in the city, and every day they were whipped except for work.
Hearing the arrival of the Tang army, many people wept and even cheered.
However, the current predicament could not be solved at all, the army was repaired, and Eleven took this opportunity to patrol the entire Liaocheng.
Broken walls everywhere are completely a ruined city.
The Goguryeo people left behind 2,300 artillery pieces, as well as a lot of gunpowder.
In addition, the only thing that can make people happy is the grain and grass.
This time on a detour, there is not much grain and grass in the army, and it can last for half a month.
But this city has prepared grain and grass for 50,000 people for three months, and it seems that Yuangai Suwen is very confident, thinking that Datang will not be able to break through Liaocheng within three months.
The sergeant was ordered to untie the common people who had been bound by ropes and turned into a long dragon, and arranged for someone to give porridge, which quickly calmed their uneasy feelings.
And through the mouths of the people, they learned more about the Goguryeo army.
Liaocheng was the first to be broken, followed by Yingzhou, and Goguryeo planned to encroach on the Tang Dynasty step by step.
If it weren't for Qian Feng leading troops to appear a few days ago, Goguryeo would even think that the Tang Dynasty knew nothing about this matter.
The Nucheng was built to help them build up the cannonballs and gunpowder needed to attack the Tang Dynasty more quickly.
The strong smell of sulfur in the city could not be diluted for a long time, and people said that all these gunpowder things were brought by the Goguryeo people.
The people of the Tang Dynasty, after becoming prisoners, could only do everything they could do all day long by obeying the arrangements of those Goguryeo people.
disobedient, at the beginning of the period by killing, and later by beating.
All kinds of harsh punishments were added, and there were more than 60,000 corpses outside the entire Liaocheng, all for these Goguryeo people.
They even threw people on gunpowder, set it on fire, and enjoyed each other's howls and screams.
This cruel "play" was used as a ritual to express their loyalty to their great Goguryeo king.
