Chapter 104 forced Gao Yuan to surrender

Besiege? Siege?

Laihu'er looked at the inner city of the palace in front of him, and was a little hesitant for a moment.

There are many soldiers in the palace with high walls and tight defenses, and if he uses a large army to attack, he will definitely cause heavy casualties among his soldiers, which makes him a little unbearable!

However, if you choose to besiege instead of attacking, the inner city of this palace as the most core place of Goguryeo, there must be a large amount of grain and grass materials stored in it, and the underground water source in the city is sufficient.

The main thing is that he needs to capture the inner city of the royal palace as soon as possible, and then the class will return. Because he doesn't have much time left, he can continue to spend here, according to the news he got from the allies, he knows that the saint is not only anxious to return to the court, but also suspicious of him, the saint no longer believes in him as before, rest assured that he is, if he still stays here and consumes time with Gao Yuan, sooner or later he will end up in a dismal end!

Lai Kai looked at his father's frowning brows, looking at the silence of the inner city of the palace, he was very anxious, he also looked at the news that came back, and he was very aware of his father's current situation, very worried!

He understood his father's concerns very well, but unfortunately he couldn't help now, because he didn't think of any good way, and he could only look at the tall palace walls in front of him!

"General, what to do with these enemy prisoners? Do you want to cut them all down? The general of his own army stepped forward to ask for instructions, and he had already tied up the enemy soldiers in front of the city gate who were crying in terror.

Since the army entered the city, Lai Hu'er led the army to kill decisively all the way, and all the enemy soldiers who encountered resistance were crushed, and did not order the capture of any enemy soldiers, but these enemy soldiers were different, they surrendered and were captured without any resistance, and the pro-soldier generals didn't know what to do for a while, so he wanted to ask for instructions!

"Escort them to the rear army first!" Laihu'er waved his hand, looking a little impatient and impatient!

Enemy prisoners? Lai Kai looked at the few enemy captives with desperate faces, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he thought of a good way to attack the city.

"Report to the general, the last general just thought of a siege method!"

"Then tell me about it!" Lai Hu'er turned his head to look at Xiang Kai, and said a little anxiously: "If the method is good, General Ben will give you the first credit!"

"General, we can send soldiers to capture all the people of Pyongyang City, and then use their lives to force Gao Yuan, the king of Yingyang, to surrender! If Gao Yuan doesn't open the door and surrender, we will behead a group of civilian prisoners in front of the city gate every half an hour! ”

After listening to Lai Kai's report, Lai Hu'er didn't speak, frowning and pondering, but secretly weighing the pros and cons of this method in his heart!

It is undeniable that this method that Lai Kai came up with is indeed the best siege method for the Sui army at present, Gao Yuan, as the king of Goguryeo, will definitely react in the face of his subjects and people being innocently killed because of himself, otherwise there will be civil strife in the city, and the inner city of the palace will not be attacked!

Moreover, most of the relatives of the enemy soldiers in the inner city of the palace live in Pyongyang, and in the face of the scene that their relatives are about to be beheaded in public, even if Gao Yuan can hold back for the time being, those enemy soldiers will definitely not be able to bear it, and it is estimated that there will soon be a scene of mutiny and surrender of enemy soldiers!

"General, this is a little wrong, right? They are all ordinary people, and it would be too cruel for us to do that! ”

The general surnamed Wang, who has been driving a horse and stopping behind Laihu'er, spoke out against it, he is a member of the Taiyuan Wang family, a literati background, and usually always thinks of himself as a Confucian general!

"General Wang's words are not right! They are not ordinary people of the Great Sui, but people of different races, at this time, if they are not cruel to these foreign people, should they be cruel to our own people? Do you want the soldiers to stay here? ”

A big man with a beard on his face retorted excitedly, the big man's surname is Li, and his usual temper is more straightforward and irritable, "I think General Kai's method is good, I approve of it!" ”

"General, I also think that the method of coming to General Kai is worth using!"

At this time, another general surnamed Gao spoke out in agreement, "General Li is right, they are people of different races, no matter how good we treat them, they will not be grateful!" General Wang, do you remember the scene in the eighth year of the Great Cause, when after the defeat of our army, how many soldiers died because of their people? ”

The generals were silent, most of them had participated in the war of conquest in the eighth year of the Great Cause, and they were still apprehensive and resentful of the scene after the defeat of the army at that time!

"That's it! Then it was decided! Lai Hu'er didn't hesitate any longer, and scolded fiercely, and the words of the general surnamed Gao uncovered the scar in his heart that would never heal!

In the eighth year of the Great Cause, he led the then Dengzhou naval army to attack Goguryeo from the sea, and was unexpectedly ambushed and failed in the process of attacking Pyongyang City, but at that time he had already led his soldiers to kill a bloody road, but unfortunately in the process of retreat, it was because he could not bear to kill the ordinary people of Goguryeo, and often exposed the retreat route of his army, and the enemy army was able to repeatedly catch up and ambush his army, so that his hundreds of thousands of naval soldiers were almost lost, In the end, less than 20,000 soldiers followed him and successfully withdrew to the territory of the Great Sui!

Lai Hu'er, who had made up his mind, did not hesitate any longer, and immediately reprimanded and ordered, "General Li, General Gao, the two of you each lead 3,000 men and horses from your headquarters to capture prisoners, and within an hour, General Ben will see more than 3,000 prisoners here!" ”

"General Wang, you go and write a letter and shoot it at the head of the city, telling them to open the door and surrender within one hour, otherwise they will kill a thousand people in front of the city for every hour of delay!"

"Yes! The last will obey! The three of them didn't dare to slack off, and immediately drove down to prepare!

……

"Oh no! Oh no! Your Majesty, the Sui army shot a letter up, and they ordered us to open the door and surrender within an hour! Otherwise, otherwise...... "The enemy defending the city will rush all the way into the palace to report, holding in his hand the letter that the Sui army general has just shot up from the city!"

"Otherwise what?" Gao Yuan was very nervous, and suddenly took the letter from the hand of the enemy general defending the city, and quickly opened it!

"The Sui army said in the letter that we should open the door and surrender within one hour, otherwise, for every hour of delay, they will kill a thousand people outside the city gate!" The enemy general defending the city took a few deep breaths, stabilized his anxious and nervous mood, and finally roughly said the content of the letter!

The ministers panicked, their faces instantly turned pale, they didn't expect that the generals of the Sui army would be so vicious this time, and they would actually threaten them with the lives of ordinary people! Although they are all in the inner city now, and they are not in danger for the time being, their parents, wives and other clansmen are still in Pyongyang City, and the Sui army can easily catch them!

"Your Majesty, why don't we open the door and surrender now! Anyway, with only this little soldier in the city, it can't be defended after all! Wait any longer, if the Sui army really mentions the people in the city by then, these soldiers may have to mutiny! ”

Gao Yuan was a little hesitant, he was a little worried about his safety after surrendering! Originally, two hours ago, he had already discussed with the ministers that he was ready to open the outer gate of Pyongyang City as a condition for temporary surrender, so as to hope to preserve everything in the inner city of the palace, because in the inner city of this palace, there are still a lot of grain, grass and weapons, which are the capital for them to make a comeback and realize their ambitions in the future!

It's a pity that before they could open the door and surrender, the Sui army had already broken through the outer city, and the army entered the city, and the only bargaining chips they had were therefore useless!
