When the Sui army ascended first, the soldiers rushed to the city wall with a ladder, but they did not encounter resistance. They climbed up the ladder with their swords and met no resistance, but they climbed to the top of the city and leaped forward, but they met no resistance.

In fact, after dawn, the Goguryeo people in the new city finally found that the city lord Yang Wanchun had quietly run away with his 3,000 soldiers and horses.

The people of Xincheng were stunned.

In order to defend the new city, they fought fiercely with the Sui army for several months, and suffered countless casualties before and after, but in the end, the city lord of Yang, who said that he wanted to live and die with the city, actually ran away?

After the confusion, there is panic.

The Goguryeo people in Xincheng clearly remembered how vicious the Sui army that came to attack the city before, and that Luo Cheng actually drove tens of thousands of Goguryeo people to die.

Now that Yang Wanchun has run away, and the last 3,000 soldiers have also run away, this new city will definitely not be able to be defended by relying on them, and the tens of thousands of people in the city will definitely not be able to defend it. Once the Sui army enters the city, won't it be to slaughter the city?

The panicked Xincheng people began to flee as well.

There was a Sui army in the southwest, so they all followed and ran to the northeast, hoping to catch up with Yang Wanchun's soldiers and horses and get a little protection.

When the Sui army launched the siege after dawn, the new city was in chaos, and everyone dragged their families and scrambled to the northeast to escape out of the city, so there was not a single defender in the city.

The gates of the city were opened.

A pioneer ran to Luo Yi to report.

"Report to the general, there is chaos in the new city, Yang Wanchun fled to the northeast with 3,000 remnants last night, and this morning the Goguryeo in the new city found out that they fled quietly, so they also fled, and now the whole city is in chaos."

"Hahaha, I actually escaped." Luo Yi was a little proud, the emperor had a deadline to break the city in January, and now it has only been a few days, and the new city has been broken.

Li Yuan on the side breathed a sigh of relief, this time he came to fight Xincheng, he made a military order and came with his head, and now, a heart can finally be put back in its place.

"Enter the city first, seal the four gates, and don't let the Goguryeo people escape, in addition, control the official offices and treasury in the city as soon as possible, and protect the household registration documents, money and silk materials inside." Li Shimin reminded on the side.

"Erlang is right, hurry up." Li Yuan said.

Tens of thousands of Sui troops swarmed in, and the regiments and battalions had a clear division of labor, snatching those who controlled the city gate and occupying the yamen treasury.

Groups of government soldiers occupied various streets and alleys, and ordered those Goguryeo people to go back to their respective homes, not to go out, let alone resist.

"After my Great Sui Heavenly Soldiers entered the city, those who dared to hold weapons and not surrender will not be spared!"

"General, Shimin, please lead a group of soldiers and horses to pursue Yang Wanchun!"

Luo Yi said, "The matter of pursuing Yang Wanchun will be handed over to my brothers in the Sixth Army on the right to do it, and the second son, you are staying in the new city, it's chaotic outside, so don't go out." ”

These words made Li Shimin very angry, "General Luo, please don't underestimate Yu, I will definitely be able to capture that Yang Wanchunsheng back." ”

"It's not that I underestimate you, but I think you can't catch up with Yang Wanchun at all, if you chase the enemy lightly, you may suffer if you are not careful."

Over there, Li Yuan also persuaded his son not to chase after him, in his opinion, since he had already laid down the new city, the credit was enough. The next thing to pursue is handed over to Luo Yi, who is responsible for taking over the new city. As for whether Luo Yi can catch up or not, that's Luo Yi's business. caught up, he Li Yuan has a share of the credit, after all, he is the coach. can't catch up, that's Luo Yi's responsibility.

"Father!" Li Shimin was unwilling, he wanted to prove to Luo Yi that their Li family was definitely not worse than the Luo family.

Li Yuan hesitated.

"Father, son, please lead a thousand light cavalry as the vanguard to pursue Yang Wanchun."

"Okay, you will lead 8,000 people to pursue Yang Wanchun with the front carriage, and give you 1,000 light horsemen as the forward, go, remember, don't take the enemy lightly, be cautious."

Li Shimin was overjoyed, "Thank you for your father." He received the order to get up and leave, and when he turned around, he deliberately glared at Luo Yi with his eyes.

Luo Yi smiled.

Originally, he was going to chase Yang Wanchun, but since Li Yuan wanted to send his front compartment and let his son be a pioneer, then he didn't bother to care.

Li Xiuning didn't worry about Li Shimin and wanted to go, but Li Yuan refused. After all, a girl's family is not suitable for being in the army, which makes it even more inappropriate for her to fight and kill.

Li Shimin and the soldiers and horses in the front of the 8,000 Imperial Battalion Left First Army chased out of the city, leaving more than 60,000 Sui troops, but they were already further controlling the new city.

One target after another was controlled, followed by a city-wide search.

In order to avenge the resentment that he failed to persuade him to surrender at the beginning, Li Yuan ordered that all the people of Xincheng who had participated in the resistance of defending the city before should be dealt with by the Goguryeo army, and the result of his disposal of these Goguryeo troops whose hands were stained with the blood of the Sui army was to leave no prisoners and return blood for blood.

The search for the whole city began, from morning to night, in a whole day, Li Yuan searched out more than 13,000 Goguryeo young men from the city, all of whom were punished by him as Goguryeo troops, and all of them were taken to the side of the Xiaoliao River outside the city and beheaded.

The heads and the earth were built into a huge Jingguan, and the headless corpses were all pushed into the Xiaoliao River.

The water of the Liao River dyed red and became a red river.

Immediately afterwards, the Sui army looted the new city.

The soldiers indulged in looting, and robbed everything they got there, but fortunately, Luo Yi and Li Yuan had already prepared, and in order to prevent chaos, they also deliberately divided the territory, the left army of the imperial camp was divided into the east city, and the right sixth army was divided into the west city, and then the two armies divided their own battalions into territory for them to rob.

Except for the castle lord's mansion, the official offices, and the treasury that were controlled earlier, the rest of the shops and private houses were left to be plundered. Except for a small part of the things that have been snatched up, most of the rest belong to whoever grabbed them.

It doesn't matter if you rob gold or silver or treasure, whether it's a woman or an animal.

Three days.

After three days of robbery, a large city with a circumference of more than ten miles and hid in a population of tens of thousands finally became a dead city.

Tens of thousands of people have all become prisoners of the Sui army's soldiers, and more than 70,000 soldiers of the two armies, one is not enough to get one prisoner, but the population is not enough, but fortunately, the new city is so big, and there is a lot of money and silk.

Basically, after three days of robbery, everyone was very satisfied, and every soldier more or less grabbed a lot of good things, and many people sighed that they didn't come to this trip in vain, and they didn't open much for a few months, but they only built a new city, and they grabbed enough.

The two armies were full of laughter, slaughtering pigs and sheep, and they couldn't speak.

"Why haven't they come back yet, even if they haven't caught up with Yang Wanchun, they should send someone back to report the news."

In the City Lord's Mansion, Li Yuan said to his daughter Xiuning with some concern.

"yes." Sanniang was also worried about her younger brother.

As night fell, the new town was still enveloped in a joyful atmosphere.

A group of light horses galloped up.

"General, go and report to the general, the second son has an accident."

"What's wrong?" A soldier of Li Yuan in front of the City Lord's Mansion asked.

The second son pursued Yang Wanchun and chased for two days before catching up. After the second prince led the army to defeat Yang Wanchun, he chased after him too quickly, and was shot in one eye by Yang Wanchun's return horse. ”

"Didn't Yang Wanchun have one of his arms cut off by Luo Cheng, how can he still shoot arrows back from his horse?"

"It's a crossbow arrow, don't say it, hurry up and report to the general."

"Oooh." The man hurriedly ran towards the city lord's mansion with the people who came.

Fuchu, the hall.

After Li Yuan heard this shocking news, the teacup in his hand fell directly to the ground, and it fell to pieces all at once.

Li Xiuning exclaimed, "How is Erlang doing now?" ”

"The second son is in the left eye of the crossbow arrow, the second son pulled out the arrow and smacked his eyes, fortunately the guards rescued it, although his life is worry-free, but the left eye is gone."
