"Shoot the arrows, and don't let them get close to the city."

Yang Wanchun waved his one-arm and roared.

One of the lords of the building said with some hesitation, "But the lord of the city, they are all our people of Goguryeo." ”

"The people are fart, since they have begun to fill in the soil and negative stones for the Sui army, then they have already betrayed our Goguryeo, they are no longer the people of Goguryeo, they are still our enemies, release arrows, kill them."

The order was handed down.

The Goguryeo people at the head of the city began to draw their bows and arrows, and some soldiers hesitated, but were quickly reprimanded loudly by the officers.

Eventually, one arrow after another was fired.

Those Goguryeo people fell under the new city one after another, and in the distance, Luo Cheng watched all this coldly.

Although it is cruel and unkind, war is like this. Especially the war between the two countries, or this kind of war with foreign races, there is no mercy at all.

Wu Sanbao once told him what the Goguryeo people did after they seized Liaodong from the Murong clan, and they were not merciful at all in their slaughter of the Han people.

Tzu is not in charge of the army.

War is to do everything in the extreme, that is, to strike an all-out blow and weaken the morale and strength of the other side.

"It's a pity that most of the people are young and strong."

Luo Cunxiao stood next to Luo Cheng in the back compartment, constantly regretting.

"Any young man, get Xiangping or Huaiyuan, it can be worth at least ten times, if it is shipped to Luoyang and Daxing, a young man can be sold for twenty or thirty times, and a beautiful young Goguryeo female slave can even be sold for forty times, this is a lot of money, it's such a waste."

Luo Cheng just said coldly, "Anyway, you can't take these people away." ”

"We can inform Luo Yi or Li Jing, and let them send someone to receive these captives, and then we can divide them together."

Luo Cheng pouted the Yuwen Shi in the distance with his mouth, and the surrendered ambassador was now with an iron face.

"See him no, with him, no matter how many captives you have, they won't be yours."

"Hey, forget it, let's kill it, anyway, it's the Goguryeo people who are killed, and the Goguryeo people kill the Goguryeo people, don't do anything to us."

Luo Cheng looked at the arrows flying down from the city, and turned his head to Lao Sidao, "The Goguryeo people are lonely when they shoot arrows, and you can also bring someone to accompany them." ”

"Okay."

Cunxiao turned and left.

A moment later, under the city, the old Sicun filial piety rode his horse to the front of the army and shouted loudly.

Immediately, the Sui army ordered the flag to wave, and the drums were beating.

The Sui troops in the phalanx held bows and crossbows one after another, and shot arrows randomly, and the arrows were like flying clouds.

The Goguryeo people in the new city were suddenly covered by the rain of arrows and had to take refuge, and the Goguryeo people under the city breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that as soon as their footsteps stopped, the ballista behind them fired several crossbows in succession, piercing dozens of Goguryeo people in a row, and these Goguryeo were so sad that they had to move forward again.

"Give me a top and kill all those traitors!"

Yang Wanchun saw that under the cover of the Sui army's arrow array, a large number of Goguryeo people had already rushed up, desperately filling the trench, and their faces were bruised.

The defenders of the city had no choice but to stand in front of the battlements again with the flying arrows and shoot arrows below.

The people of Goguryeo continued to fall, but the Goguryeo defenders also suffered heavy casualties.

Some improvised catapults were also pushed to the front of the battle and began to throw stone bullets and fireballs at the head of the city, which made the defenders of the city even more anxious.

The fighting lasted from noon to dusk.

Under the new city, there are bursts of smoke and blood.

The trench in front of the city wall in the south of the new city was ten zhang wide and two zhang deep, and more than a dozen dirt road passages were filled in, and the ditch was full of corpses and blood.

Quite a while.

The Goguryeo people in the city shot with a sore back and a sore hand, and they shot and killed all the more than 10,000 Goguryeo people who filled the trenches with arrows.

They killed all these people under the rain of arrows from the Sui army, and they themselves suffered nearly 1,000 casualties.

In front of the Sui army.

Yu Wenshi and pointed at Luo Cheng, pointed at him, and jumped to his feet and scolded.

In his opinion, Xincheng originally intended to negotiate peace, and he had a great chance to surrender.

But now, it's no longer possible.

"You butcher, human slaughter, you are brutal!"

Luo Cheng just looked at Yu Wenshi with cold eyes, "Did you say enough, just leave when you say enough." ”

Yu Wenshi trembled with anger and scolded non-stop.

Luo Cheng, who was scolding, was annoyed, and directly reached out and grabbed the neckline of his shirt and lifted him up. Luo Cheng, who was eight feet away, was strong and healthy, carrying a Yu Wenshi and carrying a chicken.

He looked directly at Yu Wenshi, "Don't take an inch, just take it when you see it." ”

After saying that, he put him down, and then helped him gently pat his wrinkled clothes.

Yu Wenshi wanted to scold again, but he couldn't open his mouth, just now, he felt that Luo Cheng was full of murderous intent towards him, he was really full of murderous intent.

With a flick of his sleeves, Yu Wenshi took a few steps back.

After waiting for a little farther away, he said loudly, "I must join you to Your Majesty, and I must join you, definitely!" ”

"Whatever!"

Luo Cheng snorted.

Wei Zheng leaned over, "This Yuwen Erlang seems to be a little pedantic." ”

"Bad bad, bad roundabout, there is no hope for the Yuwen family."

Wei Zheng smiled, "But today's general's methods are indeed too ruthless, after today, the surroundings of the new city are already empty, there is no rooster crowing for a hundred miles, and there is no cooking smoke in Qianmo." ”

Luo Cheng said indifferently, "Anyway, it's a group of barbarians who don't obey the king, it doesn't matter if they kill them all, they just immigrate from the Central Plains when they go back." I don't lack people in the plains, just right. ”

"More than a dozen dirt roads have been filled in the trenches, but the captured Goguryeo people are also dead, will they continue to attack tomorrow?"

Luo Cheng asked Wei Zheng, "Are you still attacking?" ”

"I suggest that there is no need to attack, look at the reaction of the defenders in the city today, the Goguryeo people are really ruthless, they don't frown when they kill their own people, and they killed more than 10,000 people in half a day, this is iron-hearted to defend to the end, and it really needs to be attacked, even if there is no trench, but the city wall is high, especially the other walls are mostly standing on the hillside, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to fight."

Luo Chengdao, "I know, I didn't plan to really attack the new city, but since I was passing by, I couldn't just pass by." ”

"And tomorrow?"

"Why don't we send Yu Wenshi and enter the city tomorrow to negotiate with the Goguryeo people to surrender?" Luo Cheng asked with a smile.

Wei Zheng hurriedly shook his head, "This joke is not funny, no matter what, I won't wait to see Yu Wenshi again, but after all, he is the envoy of our Left Fifth Army, and his status is second only to you, and he is not controlled by you, in case Yang Wanchun detains him or kills him directly, then we will not be able to explain to Your Majesty." ”

"Yes, then shoot the arrow book into the city, let Yang Wanchun pay compensation and surrender, and then we can collect our troops and strike the war."

When Yang Wanchun saw Luo Cheng's arrow book, he threatened on the one hand, and surrendered on the other, hesitated for a long time, and finally ordered coldly, asking the envoy to send three thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver out of the city, and then presented a letter of surrender of his own.

However, there are several additional conditions on his surrender letter, first of all, he said that he was worried that the Sui army would loot and slaughter the city after entering the city, so he did not let the Sui army enter the city, he said that after surrendering, he would lead the headquarters to continue to be stationed in the city, and the Sui army could only be stationed outside the city, and said that he would finally listen to the will of the Sui Dynasty Emperor.

In short, the surrender is the surrender, but they refuse to surrender the city. But as a sign of sincerity, he still gave 3,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, 200 beauties, 3,000 stone of grain, and more than 1,000 livestock.

When it was dark, the envoy went out of the city to meet Luo Cheng, and presented Yang Wanchun's letter with both hands.

"I am willing to surrender in the new city, please don't create and kill again!"
