Chapter 904 takes Nan'an City
Chapter 904
Those soldiers defending the city saw the elite cavalry in the distance, thinking that it was their own cavalry, and they didn't plan to ask, after all, Pyongyang was their rear of Goguryeo, and in their minds, there could be no enemy army here.
"Choking~~"
"Kill!" A lieutenant colonel battalion commander who led the team, his war horse had already rushed to less than 50 meters away from the city gate, and immediately drew his war knife and swung it forward, and at the same time he rushed over quickly.
"What's going on?" The soldiers guarding the door were stunned, but before they could figure it out, their heads had already landed.
"Rush in, immediately control the four city gates, only enter but not exit, and kill those who escape!" The lieutenant colonel rushed in and shouted,
At the same time, several company commanders under him began to charge in other directions with cavalry, there are not many defenders here at all, there are not 1000 people in total, and they are all infantry, in the face of such elite cavalry, they have already rushed into the city, there is no resistance at all, the cavalry troops are almost one by one, unless they throw weapons, kneel down and hold their heads on their stomachs, or they are killed,
Now there is no time to persuade them to surrender, they need to completely control here, and the people in the city are also in chaos, hiding everywhere, not daring to come out, however, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have not yet rushed into their homes, but only controlled those streets, and slowly, all the cavalry troops came in.
"Tell me to go down and order the second battalion to break through to the front for 20 miles, control here, don't let the people from this side go to Pyongyang, and let those who come from this side come over, and send scouts to find out the situation of the enemy near us!" Cheng Yaoye also entered the city at this moment, and immediately said to the officers around him,
I also rode to the county government, and when I arrived at the county office, the officials here are basically controlled now, they saw the dragon riders of the Tang Dynasty, and those flags also said Tang, knowing that it was the army of the Tang Dynasty who killed them, and their faces were like ashes!
"You're the prefectural magistrate here?" Cheng Yaoye stopped and said to the old county magistrate below, and there was immediately a soldier interpreter who knew the local language next to him.
"Yes, I am, you are the army of the Tang Dynasty, why did you come here now?" The county magistrate looked at Cheng Yaoye in shock and asked.
"It's so fast, come on, bring it in, I want to ask him!" Cheng Yaoye dismounted with a smile and walked inside, and those officers also followed inside, and then, several city gates were also completely controlled.
And when Cheng Yaoye arrived inside, he immediately wrote a letter to Qin Huaidao, asking the herald to send it over, and being able to take Nan'an City like this is good news for Qin Huaidao and them!
Then, Cheng Yaoye began to arrange the deployment of defenses in the city, and also collected a large number of materials, mainly grain and war horses, as well as some pickled vegetables and meat, which could replenish the troops.
"These people, are we going to escort them to the back now?" A battalion commander looked at Cheng Yaoye and asked.
"First escort young and young women, children, old people and finally, especially those captives, they must be escorted over first, and they will definitely be sent to Yingzhou at that time!" Cheng Yaoye nodded and said to the officer,
And Qin Huaidao was in the village behind him at the moment. Now those people in the village, all controlled, they are all going to be sent away, anyway, now there are big ships, they have to be sent to Yingzhou, although for those people, it is very cruel, but the current war is like this, as long as you control a place, if you can't determine the long-term occupation, you will start to captive people,
Qin Huaidao also knew that the fate of those people who were taken captive would be very miserable, and they could only be used as slaves, and if they met a good master's family, they could still live well, and if they met a bad one, they could only accept their fate! The people in those villages were all howling and crying, and Qin Huaidao didn't look at it, there was no way to stop it, and it was impossible for Qin Huaidao to stop it.
"Report, there's a report from Nan'an City!" A herald arrived in front of Qin Huaidao, dismounted, and handed over the bamboo tube sealed by vermilion paint, Qin Huaidao took it, checked it, opened it, and took out the note inside.
"Good, good, it doesn't take much effort to take Nan'an City, it's good. Record, the ship is coming to send the news back to Yingzhou! Qin Huaidao said to some of the documents beside him.
"Yes!" The men spoke.
"Go back and tell your division commander that the scouts should be sent farther away, so that we have enough time to set up defenses!" Qin Huaidao said to the herald,
"Yes!" The herald heard this, and immediately nodded,
And Qin Huaidao continued to sit there, now, he also sent a large number of scouts to investigate the situation in various places, if it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to surround the point and send reinforcements, Qin Huaidao would dare to take the troops to attack Pyongyang now, instead of sitting here, now Pyongyang is a place to attract enemies, to surround it, his own troops are not enough,
Moreover, the most important thing now is to control the news as much as possible, even if it is a quarter of an hour late to let Pyongyang know, it is very beneficial to Qin Huaidao and them, that night, Qin Huaidao did not receive any news from their side, and there was no news of the transfer of Goguryeo troops near here.
The next morning, the captives were sent from Nan'an City, and Qin Huaidao asked them to live together, and then they were sent to Yingzhou with those ships.
"There is still no news from Nan'an City, I guess, now Pyongyang must still not know about our side of things, after all, our cavalry is very fast in Nan'an City, Division Commander Cheng will definitely not let the people leave Nan'an City, and the people nearby are estimated to be stared at now!" A staff officer came to Qin Huaidao's side and said to Qin Huaidao.
"If you walk, don't take the main road, it will take a day and a night to get from our side to Pyongyang, that is, they will know at the earliest around noon today, and if they want to move troops over and send out cavalry units, it will not be until night to reach our side,
Or rather, tomorrow morning, and our big ship, now almost to Yingzhou, will set off for us again tonight, tomorrow afternoon or so, they should come to our side, don't be afraid! Qin Huaidao said to the staff officer, the troops in his hands are still no problem to withstand a day, and besides, Nan'an City wants to fight down in one day, Goguryeo does not have that strength.
By the morning of the next day, Qin Huaidao still hadn't received any news, Goguryeo's side had not mobilized troops so far, Qin Huaidao knew that Pyongyang might not know that the Tang Dynasty's army was killed, and now it is estimated that he is still thinking about the attack of the other two troops, however, the other two troops did not arrive so quickly, and it is estimated that it will take some time.
"Isn't there any news from the front yet?" Yuangai Suwen arrived at the palace at this moment and asked some officials.
"It is estimated that it is still not so fast, after all, it has just been unblocked, and it is not easy to walk on the road, Datang's army, it is impossible to be so fast!" An official spoke to Yuangai Suvin.
"Well, there is news to be sent over as soon as possible, Datang's army dispatched 300,000 this time, their army is still much stronger than the troops of the Sui Dynasty back then, I heard that there is no shortage of iron in Datang, and even many farm tools are made of iron!" Yuangai Suwen stood there, frowned and said,
Although the people below are very optimistic, and he is also very optimistic about this war, he also attaches great importance to this battle, if he can defeat the Tang Dynasty, then Goguryeo will be able to gain a firm foothold here, and even say that he can kill to the Central Plains!
"Yes!" The official immediately bowed his head and answered, and he went to see their king, who was a puppet, but even if it was a puppet, many things still needed the presence of their king, and when he had met their king, he returned to his residence.
His eldest son, Yuan Nan, had just returned, and he had just taken some of his family members to the forest to play, and he had also brought a lot of female dependents over.
"Father, there is a strange news, that is, in the past few days, Nan'an City has not sent sea goods over, and it has not been sent for two days, and I went to ask, no one has come from there in the past few days, is there something wrong?" Yuan boy came in and asked Yuan Gai Suwen.
"Nan'an City? What can be the matter? Yuan Gai Suwen looked at Yuan boy and asked.
"I don't know, it's just that nothing like this has ever happened before, do you want to send someone to take a look, ask what is going on, how dare you snub our house!" Yuan boy said immediately.
"Wait a minute, there may be something, don't run around these days, the army of the Tang Dynasty has been killed, if they cross the Yalu water, it will be disadvantageous for us, what about you, don't go around now, it's time to do something!" Yuangai Suwen looked at his eldest son and said.
"Yes, Father!" Yuan boy immediately nodded and said.
"Well, I still need to take care of the government, hmph, our king, what can he handle?" Yuan Gai Suwen stood up as he spoke, and walked away with his hands behind his back.
And at this moment, on the side of Nan'an City, Qin Huaidao's second batch of troops has also arrived, and now those soldiers and food are being transported below, and when they go back, they will take those prisoners back.
"Hu Guogong!" A major general and division commander came to Qin Huaidao's side, called Liu Yujun, and now he is also under Qin Huaidao's control.
"It's just in time, it's your division's troops coming over this time, right?" Qin Huaidao looked at him and asked.
"Yes, just one of my division's troops, the main thing is to carry a lot of food, I'm afraid that it will rain when the time comes!" Liu Yujun nodded and reported to Qin Huaidao.
