"How? Did the general agree? When they returned to their quarters, the rest of the generals immediately asked the lieutenant general what the defenders meant, and they all advocated going out of the city to fight.

A victory is the best way to boost morale at the bottom of the valley.

They could not stand the provocation of the enemy army outside the city, and they could only hide in the city and stare dryly, and the other party was only 2,000 men.

As long as it is properly arranged, it is not a problem to defeat the other party, and maybe you can eat this deep lone army in one bite.

Although the Tang Dynasty was strong, they were afraid of the Goguryeo people, let alone dare not go out of the city because of a lone army.

He disagreed! It is said that this is an order of Mo Lizhi, and no one is allowed to go out of the city without authorization, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law. The lieutenant grabbed the kettle on the table, poured himself a few large mouthfuls of water, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve and said.

"It's really a coward, we have seen hundreds of thousands of battles, are we still afraid that the two thousand lonely soldiers outside the city will not be successful." A hundred-man chief said indignantly.

"A cowardly and incompetent fellow who is not qualified to be our general, who does not even have the courage to face the enemy army, is really cowardly." Another hundred-man chief dissatisfied.

"But defending the city to the death is indeed Lord Mo Lizhi's order, whether I do this is considered disobedience, if Lord Mo Lizhi knows, he will definitely not spare us." There was another hundred people who were long.

His worries are not unreasonable, the Quan family is notoriously brutal, especially the previous generation of Mo Lizhiquan Gai Suwen, he was so brutal that even the king of Goguryeo dared to kill, and what else could their family not do.

"Rest assured, everyone! As long as we can defeat the enemy forces outside the city, Lord Mo Lizhi will definitely not treat us badly, if we can't defeat the enemy army......" The adjutant general said this and did not continue!

They don't have to be so straightforward as the adjutant general said, they can understand the meaning of the words, if they can't defeat the enemy army, and don't punish them with their hands, they will be dead a long time ago!

Anyway, either the enemy dies or they perish, so there is no need for their Mo Lizhi to do it.

"Good! Then we're going to take him down now, and go out of the city to kill those souls. The adjutant general said.

As soon as he said it, the lieutenant led them towards the guard's residence.

They found that there were twice as many guards around the guard's house as they did on a regular basis, and even that didn't bother them.

Soon, all the surrounding guards were eliminated by them.

They broke in directly, and the guards were furious when they saw this.

"What do you want to do? Want to rebel? ”

No one paid attention to him, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him immediately rushed forward, and the guard drew his sword angrily, and after slashing down several soldiers with a wave of his sword, he was captured alive.

"Take the general down to rest! Good life care! The adjutant commanded.

"Yes!" The soldier replied and escorted the guard who was tied up with five flowers.

"Pass the order! Sortie! The lieutenant took over the position of the guard and gave orders.

"Yes!" The generals received the order and ordered their troops and horses to go out of the city.

The gate of Guiduan City was opened, and 20,000 troops of Goguryeo came out, vowing to wipe out this Tang army that was showing off its might under Guiduan City, and this is where they were buried.

"General! The enemy has arrived! A cavalryman reported in front of Xue Rengui.

"Herald! After three rounds of rapid fire, immediately retreat according to the original route! Xue Rengui said.

"Yes!" The heralds galloped away, and the cavalry who had received the order began to shoot at the Goguryeo army with their bows and arrows.

They shot as they ran, and the Goguryeo army could only eat dust in the back.

"The enemy has fled, what should we do now?" A hundred-man commander asked, and as soon as the army left the city, the enemy began to run away.

This gave him the feeling that he couldn't exert his strength on the cotton.

"Chase! But you can't leave Guiduan City for fifty miles. The adjutant said.

If you can't catch up with each other for fifty miles, you don't have to chase anymore!

"Understood!" The hundred men walked long, turned and left, and gave the order to go down and say that they would pursue the enemy for a hundred miles and then return, doubling the original fifty miles.

Xue Rengui led the cavalry to run in front, and from time to time shot a few arrows at the back, and someone would fall off their horses.

In the Goguryeo army, there were also Khitan and Jin people who had been shot on horseback, and there were also people in the Tang army who were shot by arrows.

They are nomadic people living in the northeast, the predecessors of the later Jurchens, and the ancestors of the Manchus.

The two sides chased after me, and arrows flew among them, and both sides were killed and wounded.

The Tang army was well-equipped, and the Goguryeo army suffered a great loss in this regard.

Seventy miles away, there was a Tang army of tens of thousands of people quietly waiting for their arrival, they were following the Goguryeo scouts, after the last reconnaissance, they came here to set up an ambush.

"Qi Yu Du Guard, the enemy army has entered the encirclement of our army." The scout knelt down on one knee in front of Cheng Mingzhen and said.

"Pass the order! Wrap it up now! Annihilate the enemy. Cheng Mingzhen was overjoyed and basically shouted with a roar.

"No!" The herald galloped out.

"Woo~woo~" The battle horn sounded, and the Tang army immediately encircled the Goguryeo army, vowing to destroy them.

"All the soldiers will go back with me!" Xue Rengui tightened the reins and shouted, and the cavalry turned around and killed Xue Rengui one after another.

"Not good! We've been tricked! Get out! The Goguryeo generals were shocked! They never imagined that this would be the case.

It's not that there is no trace of the enemy army within a radius of 300 square meters, but how did the enemy army in front of him appear within seventy miles of Guiduan City.

They don't have the time to think about it now, they just want to fight their way out.

Cheng Mingzhen and others naturally couldn't let the fish that bit the hook escape, and under the encirclement and suppression of the army, no one broke out of the encirclement.

It would be effortless to get rid of this Goguryeo army and take Guiduancheng, who asked them to send out the defenders to encircle and suppress Xue Rengui.

At the head of Guiduan City, Xue Rengui and Cheng Mingzhen looked into the distance.

"Eight hundred miles at once! Report this battle to Your Majesty! Cheng Mingzhen said to Xue Rengui.

"That's exactly what I wanted!" Xue Rengui said.

The first victory in this battle naturally has to report the good news to the imperial court!

The messenger rode away on a fast horse in the direction of Chang'an, and a few days later, he conveyed the good news to Li Chengqian.

"Everyone! General Xue and Cheng Duhu sent someone to send good news! Our army won the first battle of the Eastern Crusade. Wang Quan said.

"Take it and see!" Li Chengqian was overjoyed when he heard this!

Wang Quan immediately handed over the good news to Li Chengqian, who took it and couldn't wait to open it.

After reading it, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Okay! In this battle, our army not only took Goguryeo Guiduancheng, beheaded more than 400 enemy troops, and captured more than 100 people. ”

"Congratulations! Congratulations! General Xue and Cheng Duhu lived up to everyone's expectations, and the elimination of Goguryeo was just around the corner. Wang Quan said with a smile.

"It's only a matter of time before Goguryeo falls, but it's too early for you to congratulate you." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Slave maid, this is not congratulating in advance! It's not early at all, it's only a matter of time before Goguryeo falls, and everyone will definitely be able to become the emperor of the ages. Wang Quan said.
