At dusk, the south gate of Yanjin City, the city wall as high as five zhang, collapsed with a bang, perhaps by the shock aftermath of the city wall upside down, the city wall on this side of the north city gate also collapsed, suddenly, the purgatory-like scene in the city was exposed in front of the Tang army and the Goguryeo army outside the north and south city gates.

However, the inverted construction of the city wall does not mean that the fire is extinguished, on the contrary, because there is no obstruction of the city wall, the north wind pours into the city, and the strong wind fuels the fire, and the location of the fire burns more fiercely, and the billowing smoke makes the Goguryeo army retreat a few miles downwind outside the southern city gate.

"Your Majesty, the city wall is upside down, just to find a way to put out the fire, before, Tuli had used this fierce fire oil to attack Mayi City, at that time, Zhengming was using the method of soil to extinguish the fire, our army only needs to cover a road two or three zhang wide with sand, and the soldiers trapped in the city can be picked up overnight."

Li Jing on the battlefield, his brain has never been unusually cold, after he gave advice again, Li Shimin immediately agreed, so tens of thousands of Tang troops began to use chariots and horses to transport sand and soil to Yanjin City, which was burned to ruins, this method can quickly extinguish those burning oil, and because the Tang army is in the upper hand, there is no need to worry about being smoked, and the progress is not slow.

In the city, tens of thousands of Tang soldiers have already been disgraced and exhausted because of a series of self-rescue actions, and most of them have been injured to varying degrees, and the eyes and lungs of those who have been burned by the smoke are particularly uncomfortable, and some are even permanently damaged.

Fortunately, their nightmare was only over at midnight, and if it was a few hours later, more than half of them would have been smoked to death here.

"Quick, follow this road, get out ······"

"Come on, put these people on their backs, as long as they are not out of breath, they can ask the medical officer to rescue them······"

"Don't be afraid, I've come to save you, follow the footsteps of the soldiers, don't mess around, you've walked this way, outside, there's food, water, and healers to heal you······"

Li Shimin ignored the obstruction of the generals, personally came to the fire shelter in the city, and commanded the rescue operation, not caring at all about his previous symptoms of vomiting blood, but the generals who followed him were extremely moved.

After about two hours, after no living creatures were found in the city, Li Shimin evacuated with all the soldiers, this fire may burn until tomorrow, however, tomorrow, there will be a tragic battle waiting for them.

The Tang army camp outside the North City Gate, at this time, gathered more than 100,000 people of Yanjin City and tens of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers, who survived the fire and enjoyed the treatment that Li Shimin said in the fire.

Clear water, broth, soft and fluffy white flour steamed buns, many Tang soldiers did not eat first, but gave them first, hundreds of doctors, after the first treatment of the wounded Tang soldiers, also began to treat them, the kind of wine so strong that it smelled pungent and felt pungent when it smelled, they were willing to pour it on the wounds of the Goguryeo people, and the white cotton cloth that looked very precious, they were willing to bandage the wounded Goguryeo people, from the bodies of these doctors, they did not see even the slightest difference between themselves and the Tang army.

This made them feel that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the army of the Tang Dynasty were not here to exploit and enslave them.

The people who are eating steamed buns and drinking broth, at this moment, have tears in their eyes, these tears not only represent moving, but also represent strong remorse.

He hated Yuan Gai Suwen, the big villain who deceived all the people of Goguryeo, although they themselves survived this fire, but many of their relatives were buried in this sea of fire forever, and they survived, except for a body of injury and illness, there is nothing worse in the world.

There is also hatred in his heart, of course, there is Li Shimin, after inspecting the wounded Tang army soldiers and the people of Goguryeo, if the language he cursed in his heart can kill people, Yuan Gai Suwen has died a thousand times, when Li Jing reported the final casualty figure to Li Shimin, even if he killed Yuan Gai Suwen 10,000 times, Li Shimin was not angry.

If Li Shimin really trapped himself in Yanjin City as Wang Hao's plan envisioned, and witnessed most of the 100,000 Tang troops being burned alive, he would definitely lose his mind because of this.

"Your Majesty, in this battle, more than 4,000 soldiers of our army were killed in the fire, and in addition, more than 7,000 were seriously injured, even if they recover well, their faces and limbs may be ······."

Li Jing didn't dare to say any more, because he was afraid that Li Shimin would be angry again, and with the more than 1,000 soldiers killed in the battle formation before, this time, the death toll of the Tang army has reached more than 6,000 people, more than 10,000 seriously wounded, and more than 40,000 moderately and lightly injured combined.

Under this kind of battle damage, the Upper Route Army is actually a remnant army.

"No matter what means are used, try to save their lives, send a letter to Sun Zhengming, and ask him to do everything possible to get more medicine to come here, this time, if you don't wipe out all the rebels led by Yuangai Suwen, I vow not to return to the court."

"No."

Li Jing understood Li Shimin's eagerness to avenge the fallen soldiers, and after reporting these times, he said, "Your Majesty, the 20,000 infantry arranged by the minister have climbed over the cliff and gone to the other side of Yanjin City. ”

At this time, Yuan Gai Suwen was only afraid that he was still dreaming of the Tang army being wiped out in the fire, and he would never have thought that at this time, a large number of Tang troops would appear behind him and launch a night attack on him.

Soldiers, what they take is a treacherous way, Li Jing is a master of the art of war, Zhang Gongjin is not bad, with his instructions, Zhang Gongjin will definitely formulate a sneak attack and retreat plan according to the actual situation, so as to win more time for the main army on the side of the camp.

Half an hour before dawn, it is the darkest, and it is also the most sleepy for people, after the success of the fire plan, Yuangai Suwen was excited for most of the night, and finally fell asleep at this time, most of the Goguryeo army who had been busy outside the city for a day had already been sleepy, and before midnight came, they had already slept, they were very lucky, they were not used as a pawn by Yuangai Suwen, but soon, they stepped into another misfortune.

The Tang army attacked the camp, no armor, crossbows, only a light black clothes, and a short knife, the number of people, less than 4,000 people, in the dark night, they were like ghosts, without making the slightest sound, they touched into the very loose temporary camp of the Goguryeo army, these Lingnan soldiers hunted and hunted wild beasts at night, this is the way.

"The third, the fourth······"

Every time Zhao Gang struck, he was clean and sharp, when the short knife slashed through the throat of a Goguryeo soldier, he would cover the soldier's mouth with his other hand, and even, in order to prevent the weapons around them from falling to the ground and making a sound, he also needed to cooperate with a companion, and soon, a dozen of their masters cleared a passage for the remaining brothers behind.

Then, all the shadows began to disperse throughout the camp.

Some small movements are unavoidable, and more are the sound of short knives entering the flesh, the purpose of their trip is very simple, to try to kill the elite troops of Yuangai Suwen's lineage. If the 100,000 cavalry attacked the Tang army at any cost, it would definitely cause a lot of losses to the Tang army, so in addition to killing people, some people went to the place where the horses were tied and let the horses go.

The people who came over the mountains of the Tang army were all infantry, but they were also able to ride horses, as long as they had received more than half a year of training in the Longshou Yuan school field, their equestrian skills were basically gone, and when these horses came to their hands, they would change from heavy infantry to heavy cavalry.

However, in the huge camp, there are always some people who have not slept too hard, and as long as the horses are moved on a large scale, there will definitely be a lot of noise, and a quarter of an hour later, when the Goguryeo soldiers who died under Zhao Gang's short knife were as high as fifty, the sound finally alarmed a large number of Goguryeo soldiers.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack ······"

The sound of gongs and shouts spread far away in the dark night, and seeing that it could not continue, Zhao Gang decisively blew the whistle for retreat.

When they drove thousands of horses into the dense forest not far from the camp, the awakened soldiers of Goguryeo also gathered into a large group and rushed towards this side.

It is worthy of being the most elite troops under Yuan Gai Suwen, and their reaction speed is almost comparable to that of the regular army of the Tang Army, but when they rush into the forest, they will find that no matter how elite a soldier is, his body cannot withstand the sharp knives of the Tang Army.

20,000 heavy infantry, after Zhao Gang and them entered the forest, soon the forest formed a formation, and the Goguryeo soldiers who rushed over were as if they had touched a wall of death, and they only let out a scream, and then there was no sound.

The heavy infantry formation was not at all something that a scattered force like theirs could collide with, and the black woods were like a life-devouring beast, engulfing all the Goguryeo soldiers who were pursuing them.

However, the Goguryeo soldiers, who did not know the situation in the woods at all, were still rushing into the woods under the command and spur of their generals, because Yuangai Suwen, who had been awakened, was already angry after checking the camp that had been attacked by Zhao Gang and them.

In the time just now, more than 10,000 elite Goguryeo soldiers were cut throats by Zhao Gang and them, this is the strongest descendant army under Yuangai Suwen, cultivating them, I don't know how much effort it took Yuangai Suwen, how could he not feel distressed.

"It must be that group of heroic guys, all the soldiers of the army, give me armor and rush, even if I plow all this forest, I will kill all those people."

Yuangai Suwen only thought that the people who attacked at night were still the three or four thousand people led by Zhang Gongjin before, but he didn't want to, just now, there were already twenty or thirty thousand Goguryeo people who rushed to the forest scatteredly, but no one came out.

"The situation is not right, there are endless screams in the forest, I'm afraid it wasn't our people who killed each other inside!"

As soon as the generals under Yuangai Suwen reminded him, he came to his senses in anger and hurriedly shouted, "Stop the impact, light the torches, and advance in formation." ”()
