Chapter 767: The Destruction of the Nation
A few days later.
The army of the Tang Dynasty finally came to the royal city of Yan Nianguo.
I love the city!
This Yan city is very large, Yan Yan is also a few years old, since the Wei Dynasty has been established, although the population has not changed much, but as a royal city is still very large.
However, at this time, the gates of the Yanyu King City were closed, and the entire city was quiet.
The city wall and the city tower mountain, there is not a single figure to be seen.
It feels like the city is a little deserted.
"Huh?"
Li Tai and the others, sitting on their mounts, looked at the Yan Addiction King City in the distance, and frowned slightly.
What's going on?
What's going on?
The army has already marched to the city, looking at the closed gate and the empty city wall, the great war is coming, is it possible that the people who love the country are hiding in their homes and can't come out?
All the people looked at each other.
"Your Highness, I find this something strange." Su Dingfang thought for a while and said, "There is a plan!" ”
"Yes, there is a plan!" Yu En clasped his nose and said, "Your Highness, do you want me to take someone to call the door?" ”
"Don't act rashly, in my opinion, they want to lure us in, and then fight us to the death in the city, so you have to guard against it." Su Dingfang hurriedly said.
"What should I do?" Li Tai looked at Su Dingfang, but wanted to see what good way this fierce general had at this time?
"Why don't you have someone to explore first?" Su Dingfang said.
Li Tai rolled his eyes, aren't you talking nonsense?
"It would be nice if I could fly into the sky." Li Tai looked at the high city wall and couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Highness laughed, the creatures in this world, the birds can fly over the high city, and the human beings have no wings, how can they fly?" Su Dingfang smiled and said.
In his opinion, although Li Tai has the ability, he is often a little whimsical.
"You don't believe it? When I'm free later, I'll fly to show you, turtle! Li Tai glared at Su Dingfang.
How dare you not believe me?
There are times when you are surprised.
"Yuen, go and see, what's going on." Li Tai decided to let Yu Eun give it a try.
With a group of heavily armed men, Yuen quickly approached the city gate.
All the way unimpeded.
When he walked to the gate of the city, he grabbed the wooden gate with all his might, and then lifted it.
The wooden door slowly lifted.
Then, several figures quickly moved forward, lifted the wooden gate, and opened the city gate.
Yu En strode with the people and quickly walked towards the city.
Li Tai waited outside for a long time, and finally saw Yu Eun come out of the city and strode in front of Li Tai.
"Your Highness, there is no one in this city." Yu En said angrily: "Your Highness, are we in the wrong place?" Didn't you say that this is the royal city of the Yan Loving Country? What is not a single person? ”
"Is the city full of flammable things like hay?" asked Li Tai, frowning.
"Back to Your Highness, I looked at it, and it didn't seem to be." Yu En said.
"Is there anything like fierce fire oil, sulfur saltpeter, etc.?" Li Tai is still not at ease.
Yu En shook his head and said, "Your Highness, it doesn't seem to be either. ”
"Am I overthinking?" Li Tai thought for a while and said, "Let the army enter the city one by one, and if you find that the situation is not good, immediately warn!" ”
"Whoa!"
The armies saluted, and then the army entered the city one by one.
When Li Tai entered the city, he finally determined that this country-loving royal city had been empty as early as when Li Tai and the others came.
After checking countless stoves, I found that the stoves were already cold, and even the things for cooking rice were gone.
Some large families have houses that are covered with dust when they enter.
It seems that this place has been abandoned by the Yanzhiguo.
Enter the city and lead the people straight to the palace.
The royal palace was empty.
Except for the tables and chairs, not even a single piece of bronze could be seen, let alone gold, silver and jade.
"What's going on?" Sitting in the palace, Li Tai's brows furrowed tightly.
Yan is located on the Silk Road, and its wealth is no weaker than that of Gaochang.
Why is there no bronze in this palace?
"Da Da Da ......"
Footsteps sounded outside, and a figure walked in from the outside.
"General Su, have you found the treasury of the Yanlover countryman?" Li Tai looked at Su Dingfang and asked.
"Your Highness, I found it." Su Dingfang's face was a little ugly.
"How? What about the finances inside? Li Tai asked expectantly.
"There's nothing in there." Su Dingfang said.
"What is possible?" Li Tai hurriedly asked, "What about the grain depot?" ”
"The granary is also empty, no, there are a few starving rats in it." Su Dingfang sighed and said, "If I hadn't known that this was the royal city of Yan Qiuguo, I would have thought that our army had run into a ghost town." ”
"This Dragon Clan is really ruthless!" Li Tai couldn't help but sigh and said, "This Jianbi Qingye has done it too successfully!" ”
The people were taken away, the food was taken away, and the money was taken away.
This is the rhythm that intends to starve the Tang army to death!
Fortunately, the Tang Army has its own military rations, otherwise it would really be in trouble by Yan Yiguo.
"Your Highness, what should you do now?" Su Dingfang asked.
"What else can be done? Cold. Li Tai was very depressed, originally thinking that when the King City arrived, he would be able to break through the city and enter it, which was very refreshing.
Now it's just depressed to get home.
……
Now.
With 80,000 people, the dragon rider was heading towards the country of Qiuzi.
In addition to people, there are hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep, horses and dogs.
Dense, dense, walking on the road, all have to form a winding black dragon.
The dragon riders rode in front of them, followed by the nobles, followed by cartloads of goods escorted by soldiers.
There were tens of thousands of carts, gold and silver jewelry, brocade and cotton cloth, and grain.
The people and animals in the royal city were taken with them when the kingdom ordered them to leave, and the entire royal city was emptied, as were the cities of the kingdom of Yan that they encountered on the way.
What is left to Datang is empty cities.
"Your Majesty, did you say that this Guizi Congress promised to help us restore the country?" Xiao Shizi Long Nen asked with some concern.
"My son, do you know why my father wants most of the people to follow me into the kingdom of Qiuzi?" The dragon rider asked triumphantly.
"Why?" The young Long Nen was very puzzled.
"As long as I, a country-loving people, enter the country of Qiuci, even if the people of Qiuci don't want to help us restore the country, they can't do it." Long Tuqi smiled proudly and said, "There are so many people who love the country, if it really makes trouble, it is not ordinary. ”
"Moreover, my lips are dead and my teeth are cold, if my Yanyan country dies, will the country of Qiuzi be far from extinction? This time, Datang is menacing! ”
"I believe that this time when I enter the country of Qiuci, not only can I get the help of King Qiuci, but also the rest of the many and all races in the Western Regions, it is time to stand up and resist the Tang Dynasty together."
