In the city of Liaodong, the Tang army and the Goguryeo people came and went, and in the next few hours, the two sides carried out this dangerous and dangerous tug-of-war in the city, and both sides paid a huge price for a house and an attic, and even pushed the Tang army back little by little. It was a fierce battle unimaginable to outsiders, and as time went by, the casualties on both sides increased dramatically, and by the afternoon, both sides were exhausted, and both sides had not eaten for a day.

But no one cared at all, the people on both sides were not afraid of death, fighting for their lives, and at the last critical moment, there were countless Goguryeo people who directly lit themselves with fire and then hugged the soldiers of the firearms battalion to death, in exchange for the survival of their companions and Liaodong City. Human life is not worth anything now, both sides are angry, and people of the two nationalities are just gritting their teeth and fighting. The city was full of fires and screams, and every second there were people dying, and in front of every house and well were people fighting desperately. The sky had gradually darkened, and the two sides had been entangled for a day.

After Li Dongsheng saw the grenades driving the Goguryeo defenders off the city outside the city, so many troops rushed in, but when the Goguryeo defenders still picked up their weapons one after another and chose to continue to resist, he smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, now what Weichen said has come true!" ”

Li Shimin's expression was also very solemn, and what happened today was also beyond his expectations: "The grenade is really not omnipotent. ”

"Your Majesty, no weapon is omnipotent, there are always its shortcomings." Li Dongsheng said: "It is still people who decide the outcome of the war. ”

Zhang Jian looked at the movement on the head of the city and said while dispatching troops: "What Lantian Hou said makes sense, there is news from the front, those Goguryeo people have mastered how to deal with our army, and now they have suffered heavy casualties. And now all the people in the city are soldiers, and everyone is defenseless! ”

Li Shimin slashed his hand: "Pass the order, and the sword will not be sealed for three days after the city is broken!" ”

"Your Majesty..." Li Dongsheng and those civil officials were ready to advise Li Shimin when they heard him say this, they knew the indescribable tragedy and cruelty behind Li Shimin's words, Li Shimin said coldly: "Needless to say, I have made up my mind." And in the future, as long as the Goguryeo city does not surrender, all of them will be handled here! ”

The street fighting in the city of Liaodong continues, and the battle is still very fierce. But from the moment the Tang army rushed into the city, for the Goguryeo defenders, the general trend was gone and irretrievable.

It was getting late, and the Tang army and the Goguryeo people who had been fighting for a day had stopped, and everyone was looking for a place to lick their wounds silently.

Li Shimin's big tent of the Chinese army, which has been put on the table with rich dishes, has been blocked under the city for more than ten days, and today finally attacked the city, although it is not completely occupied, it is also worth celebrating.

The destruction of Liaodong City is really a shocking joy for Datang. After breaking through this city, the Tang army can be regarded as having the strategic initiative, and from then on attack and defend as it pleases. Goguryeo, on the other hand, could only follow the movement of the Tang army and passively respond to the attack of the Tang army.

The soldiers on the front line were still searching for the remnants of the enemy in Liaodong City, fighting the enemy in the dark, and feasting themselves in the warm tents of the camp, which made Li Dongsheng feel very guilty and felt sorry for the soldiers on the front line.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Dongsheng, who was talking and laughing with Li Ji, and felt a wave of weakness in his heart: This kid is so powerful, how can I suppress it.

Since in the barracks, the dishes are also very characteristic that they are large, and they are served in large pots, with few varieties and large portions. Li Shimin raised his glass with a smile and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's broken city, in addition to my Tang Dynasty soldiers who are brave and good at fighting, not afraid of death, is also the silent payment of everyone here, now our army has occupied half of Liaodong City, those Goguryeo people are now still struggling to survive, at most three days Liaodong City will all fall into my hands, the marching commander will remember the history, all the personnel will make a merit first, and then calculate it after returning to Chang'an!" ”

Everyone stood up and shouted, "I am willing to die for my emperor!" ”

Li Shimin looked at the Wenchen generals below and laughed, like the haze of the previous paragraph: "Lantian waited for Li Dongsheng, offering a sharp weapon like a grenade, it has played a big role in several sieges, I still underestimated this thing before, and now I rely on it to turn the tide of the battle, so I have to make another credit for him." ”

Li Dongsheng hurriedly got up and excused himself: "Your Majesty, the success of the siege is due to Your Majesty's proper command, and the soldiers use their lives, and the Weichen did not go into battle to kill the enemy, so he does not dare to take more credit!" ”

Li Shimin didn't answer his words at all, and continued to patrol the venue to drink with his old subordinates, wanting to exude all the grievances of this period of time. Li Dongsheng stood alone, Wang De came over and whispered: "Your Majesty's temper is not unknown to you, why do you want to resign here?" ”

Li Dongsheng smiled bitterly: "You said that Your Majesty will give me a merit in front of so many people, I won't shirk, and those imperial historians won't impeach me?" ”

Wang De turned around to see that there was no one around, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is old, it is best to follow him when there are many people now, you will respond to whatever he says, and then advise when there are few people." After a pause, he said: "I heard that the wives and concubines in Lantian Hou's family are pregnant, and you should also fight for something for them." ”

Li Dongsheng thought about it for a while, Li Siwei is the eldest son, and he must inherit his title, so the three who are still in the stomach must leave something for them. He arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”

Wang De nodded and left, he did a lot of this kind of favor. He knew that Li Dongsheng was bold and generous, and his nephew was now also a famous rich man, and he could be relied on when he was old.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very warm, and Li Shimin was full of laughter everywhere he went, and he didn't know how much he had achieved. It is estimated that the failure of the previous days gave them too much pressure to vent, especially the injury of Cheng Biting Jin Zhongfu, which brought huge casualties to the Eastern Expedition, and the monarchs and ministers were very worried about repeating the mistakes of the former Sui from top to bottom. Well, now that the city was attacked in one day, it was only a matter of time before the city was captured, and time was the most important thing for Datang.

As soon as it was dark the next day, the fighting in Liaodong City began again. The scouts kept playing the latest military information outside Li Shimin's tent like flowing water.

Our army has broken through the outer city and beheaded more than 3,000 enemy troops.

The king's division has broken through the inner city and beheaded more than 6,000.

Our troops were blocked by sniper attacks in the inner city, and the enemy troops resisted in the streets and alleys, and our troops suffered many casualties.

Zhang Jian has personally led the Chinese army into the city, our army has been divided into pieces, relying on the streets and alleys to fight step by step, and ordered to burn the city with fire oil, and now it is advancing, the enemy resistance is very tenacious, almost all of them use human lives to pave the road in front.
