In the city of Pyongyang, the flames soared.

The Sui army that once again entered the city of Pyongyang was obviously not Laihu'er, so they did not make the mistake of Laihu'er again.

After opening the city gate, Luo Cheng personally killed the head of the city, and the two brothers led a light horse to continue to kill the inner city, just to catch the Goguryeo people by surprise.

No one cares about the spoils of money, silk and women, this is a good habit that Luo Jiajun has always formed, before the battle is over, even the head must not be cut, let alone robbed.

Compared with other Sui troops, the biggest change that Luo Cheng brought to the Luo family army was the strictness of military discipline, even looting was a collective action, unified arrangement, and like fighting, privateering was absolutely prohibited. After hundreds of people died under Luo Cheng's military law of prohibiting privateering in a few years, the prohibition of privateering has been deeply rooted in the bones of everyone in Luo's army.

If the fighting continues, nothing will be discussed.

In the silent night, those Goguryeo people in Pyongyang, whether they were kings, nobles or civilian slaves, no one could have imagined that the Sui army would kill them at this time.

They were carried away by the successive victories, and even many nobles celebrated the victories in advance. King Gao Yuan and his henchmen were also considering how to take Liaoxi next, and how to further suppress Yuan Taizuo's party in order to continue to enhance the power and authority of the royal dynasty.

No one could have imagined that the Sui army would fall from the sky.

That's impossible.

Therefore, when the outer city shouted to kill Zhentian, when Gao Yuan in the palace city was woken up by the guards, his first reaction was not that the Sui army had killed him, but that Yuan Taizuo had taken advantage of the chaos to rebel.

"It must be the old puppet of Yuan Taizuo, taking advantage of the fact that Eulji Wendeok and Jianwu are now far away from Pyongyang, so they took the opportunity to make trouble. Damn old horseman, I'm going to kill this old thief. ”

Gao Yuanqi was extremely corrupt, angry and shocked.

Since he succeeded to the throne, although he has done everything possible to revitalize the royal family, Yuan Taizuo has always been a knife on his head. The old thief was strong and strong, almost above him. He had dreamed countless times that it would be nice if he could get rid of this old thief.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't done it yet, and the old thief did it first.

Annoyed and frightened, he was horrified by the fact that there were only a few thousand guards in Pyongyang at this time. Although Yuan Taizuo's forces are on the front line of Liaodong, he is Mo Lizhi after all, there are still many henchmen in Pyongyang City, as well as many family soldiers and slaves, and he doesn't know if he can hold on to the rebellion at this time.

"King, it doesn't seem that Mo Lizhi rebelled, it seems that the Sui army came into the city." The guard said in a panic.

"Impossible, the Sui army, where did the Sui army come from, the Sui army has been defeated and fled, how can it be killed to Pyongyang, it must be the old man of Nayuan Taizuo, it must be him, he pretended to be the Sui army into the city. Someone, go to the inner city immediately to raid Yuan Taizuo and his henchmen and their families, and kill them all. ”

Gao Yuan, who was frightened, had already lost his mind a little at this time.

All along, he and Yuan Taizuo have maintained a very fragile balance, but everyone knows in their hearts that this balance is too fragile, and no one knows when it will collapse.

Now, Gao Yuan undoubtedly thinks that Yuan Taizuo has made a move ahead of schedule.

Since you have torn your face, let's kill it. Even if he dies, he will pull the family of the Yuan family on his back.

"But the outer city?"

"Don't take care of the outer city first, guard the inner city and the palace city, and destroy all the Yuan Party first, so that they don't have to cooperate with the thieves in the outer city." Gao Yuan is in his fifties, and he is usually pampered, but now that the war has burned to his side, he is a little hysterical.

Outer city.

Luo Cheng had successfully captured the North City Gate, and the light cavalry led by Siye and Cunxiao also killed the defenders of the outer city who wanted to gather resistance.

Du Fuwei, Zhao Gui and other generals also led the infantry group into the city.

There were fires everywhere and killings everywhere, but the Left Fifth Army was not killing indiscriminately, but was planning and targeting the key points in the battle for the outer city.

City gates, main streets, yamen, arsenals, granaries, etc.

"General, the inner city gate failed to be taken by surprise, and the Goguryeo people reacted very quickly, but rest assured, there are few soldiers and horses in the inner city, and there seems to be a riot in the inner city, and there are shouts of killing inside, which is a little inexplicable."

In front of the north gate of the inner city, Murong Changsheng reported to Luo Cheng covered in blood.

"Chaos in the inner city? Could it be that there are descendants of the Han family in the inner city who are committed to my Great Sui? Luo Cheng thought to himself.

"Perhaps." Murong Changsheng said.

One general after another came to report.

"Take the North Gate."

"The east gate has also been taken."

"Simon Take"

The south gate was taken. “

·········

By dawn, the 20,000 men and horses of the Fifth Left Army had fought all night, and had completely swept away the resistance of the outer city and successfully controlled the outer city.

And the inner city finally subsided after a night of unrest.

In the morning light, on the head of the north gate of the inner city, one by one heads were thrown.

Murong Changsheng and the others were still sighing that the descendants of the Han family had failed, but after a while, everyone was surprised to find that those heads did not seem to belong to the Han family.

Through the identification of the captured Goguryeo officials in the outer city, everyone was shocked to find that the head of a person left in the city was actually the Yuan Taizuo family and its henchmen.

"What do you mean, could it be that Yuan Taizuo wanted to join forces with the outside last night, and wanted to capture Gao Yuan to surrender?" Wei Chiliang was puzzled.

"Probably unlikely."

Even if Luo Cheng was killed in the city of Pyongyang, the Sui army had just suffered two major defeats, and it can be said that this Eastern Crusade was basically over.

Although Goguryeo lost tens of thousands of horses before and after, the overall strength loss was not large, and there was no reason to surrender at such a time, especially since Yuan Taizuo was the real power faction of Goguryeo, and he had no reason to surrender.

Here, Gao Yuan appeared on the head of the city, and he shouted and scolded below, saying that Yuan Taizuo came out to see him, and how Yuan Taizuo was shameless.

After listening to the translator for a long time, Wei Zheng and Luo Cheng couldn't help but be happy.

It turned out that Gao Yuan actually regarded Sui Jun as Yuan Taizuo and pretended to be.

"That's interesting."

"Huh."

"What now?" Murong Changsheng didn't know how to describe the current scene.

Luo Cheng smiled.

"Since Gao Yuan said that we are Yuan Taizuo's people, then let's take it. Send someone to shout to Gao Yuan, just say that we are the vanguard of Yuan Taizuo, and now that the 100,000 eastern army has been killed, we will kill Gao Yuan, change the dynasty, and let the defender officials in the inner city know about the current affairs. ’

"Does that work?"

"It's good to disturb the morale of the army." Luo Cheng said with a smile, anyway, it is still going to attack the city.

Sure enough, as soon as this shout was made, the defenders in the city were obviously a little panicked.

Now that the outer city is broken, the situation is unknown, and no one knows which sentence is true and which sentence is false.

The morning sun rises, and the golden light shines.

Luo Cheng waved his right hand fiercely, so thousands of Sui soldiers began to launch a fierce attack on the inner city.
