"Dashuai, do you still want to chase?"

"It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, not to sell the name of the overlord, of course, to chase, not to chase at this time, but when. I ordered the three armies to hunt down and kill the Goguryeo army, and even if I chased them to Pyongyang, I would not let them go. ”

"Kill back to Pyongyang!"

At the mouth of the Beijiang River, the Goguryeo army was attacked by 40,000 naval auxiliaries, both frightened and panicked, they didn't know where this sudden army of soldiers and horses came from, and thought that the Sui army's naval division was killed again.

After attacking the city for several days, more than 10,000 men and horses were lost, and now there are less than 40,000 people, and they are attacked by more than 50,000 Sui troops on both sides, and they are finally defeated.

Although Ulji Ieyasu was fierce, the unified army did not have the prestige of his father, and the soldiers and horses were defeated, and he could not control it at all, so he had to flee with the rout in the direction of Pyongyang under the escort of his own soldiers.

After Luo Cheng saw several auxiliary generals of the water division, he did not hesitate to order to continue the pursuit.

Three days and three nights.

Luo Cheng took more than 12,000 brothers of the Left Fifth Army and tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers of the Navy Division, pursued and killed all the way, for three days and three nights, and pursued for more than 200 miles, and finally returned to the edge of the ruins of Pyongyang.

Ieyasu had 50,000 horses, and the whole army was wiped out.

On the ruins of Pyongyang City, there were thousands of people left behind by Eulji Moondeok, and they have slowly regained some vitality and order, established refugee camps, and built many shacks. Those Goguryeo people only need to help clean up the ruins and rebuild Pyongyang, and they can get a little porridge to eat every day.

But now, the Sui army has killed again.

A fire burned their hard work for many days.

The little military ration left by Yizhi Wende was also taken away by Luo Chengquan.

"Captured 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers, how to deal with it?"

An auxiliary general said excitedly that the last time they came to Hu'er to attack Pyongyang, they stayed in the Jiangxi Plains and had no chance to come. Later, Laihu'er was defeated, and they also fled in panic, and they couldn't say anything.

Now that they have finally come to Pyongyang, they feel indescribably happy when they look at the ruined city of Pyongyang.

This can be regarded as helping the soldiers and brothers of the sailor to avenge their blood hatred.

"General, it's better to keep these captives, and we can exchange our captured Eighth Army brothers with the Goguryeos." Wei Zheng proposed.

But Luo Cheng ignored it.

"The exchange of prisoners, that is a matter for the future, a matter for the imperial court, we can't be the master, and we don't have a chance now. Take this cause captives away first. ”

A naval commander said suspiciously, "We have already returned to Pyongyang, why don't we set up camp here and occupy this place?" ”

"No, we'll go back right away."

"Where?"

"Back to the mouth of the Beijiang River, it's best to go back to the Bailing Island where you stayed before."

With one shot back to Pyongyang, Pyongyang was now nothing more than a ruin, and even if it was a hundred miles nearby, it was deserted.

However, since he came, he couldn't go back empty-handed like this, and the captured more than 20,000 Goguryeo troops naturally had to be taken away, but now Luo Cheng, who was regrouped by the Yi Branch, nearly 100,000 Goguryeo women, children, and children did not intend to let go.

"Take those people away."

"These are old and weak women and children, why do you take them away?"

"Even women and children are still able to work, and the soldiers are born and die, how many people are killed, how many are wounded, and these people are brought back and rewarded as slaves, so that these people can make cattle and horses for them."

Near the ruins of Pyongyang, there are now nearly 100,000 Goguryeo women, children and children, who have lost their homes, houses, livestock, food, fathers, husbands, brothers and sons, and everything.

They are now surviving for free on the little grain and grass left behind by Yizhi, and the little porridge every day.

But they were all extremely weak, and no one expected the Sui army to come again, last time Luo Cheng couldn't take these people away, but this time, the Yi army was defeated, and there was no one near Pyongyang. And Luo Cheng also knew that Laihu'er had gone to Daxing City, and there was an island in the sea near the mouth of the Beijiang River, so this time he ordered these people to be arrested in line with the idea that the old and weak could work and be just as valuable.

It was impossible to run past the Sui army, who had been hungry for many days, and there were many women and children, so the tens of thousands of Sui troops who were like tigers did not make much effort, so they surrounded these people and then rushed south.

On the way south, you can still drink two meals of porridge a day, which is one more porridge than under the ruins of Pyongyang.

Although the future is uncertain, some people follow honestly for these two porridges, and have no intention of escaping. Occasionally, some escaped, but most of them were caught and executed.

It took three days when I came, and ten days when I went back.

Fortunately, at this time, Pyongyang was indeed out of soldiers.

Ulji Ieyasu's army was defeated and killed, 50,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out, and the thousands of men and horses left in Pyongyang by Ulji Wendeok were also wiped out.

And the commander of this corps, Yizhi Wende, was still busy setting up a new king in the domestic city on the west bank of the Yalu River.

When he arrived at the mouth of the Beijiang River, Luo Cheng did not continue to enter Tucheng.

On the same day, the big gap that Ulji Ieyasu led the Goguryeo army to break was still there, and Luo Cheng just looked at it, so he ordered to make wooden rafts and boats, and float to Bailing Island.

The sea is the most natural protective barrier, even if Eulji Wende leads a large army to kill again, as long as they stay on the island, the Goguryeo people have no way.

Although Luo Cheng now has 10,000 soldiers and nearly 40,000 auxiliaries in his hands, he has no will to continue to fight in Tucheng.

He thought that this kind of battle was meaningless, anyway, the entire Eastern Crusade had already failed, and even if he killed and wounded some more Goguryeos, he would be able to make up for the overall situation.

In that case, let's evacuate, withdraw to the island, wait for the sailors to return, and then take the boat home.

"There's no need to waste the lives of the soldiers, it's not worth it."

There are still more than 70,000 young and strong young people in Goguryeo in Tucheng, and Luo Cheng originally thought that in case it was difficult to defend Tucheng, he would kill all these people and bury them, but now there is no need.

He ordered all these young men to be brought to Bailing Island.

It took more than 10 days for Luo Cheng's 12,000 brothers from the Fifth Left Army and nearly 40,000 auxiliary soldiers of the Navy Division to cross Haideng Island with countless gold, silver, money, silk, food, ordnance, and livestock looted from Pyongyang, and a total of nearly 160,000 Goguryeo civilians and captured soldiers were brought to the island.

Bailing Island was very lively all of a sudden, and Luo Cheng asked the captives to build a prisoner camp on the island, build a wooden fence and earth city, and do a good job of defense.

However, for many days, the sea was calm and calm, and not a single Goguryeo ship was seen.

In the morning, Luo Cheng got up and found that it was much colder.

"It's cold."

"yes, it's mid-September."

Looking at the blue sea and the white clouds in the distance, Luo Cheng felt as if he had had a long dream.

"The emperor may have already ordered the class teacher, right?"

"It should be, it's this season, and there are many defeats and defeats, and there is no point in delaying it any longer."

"Hey!"

Luo Cheng and Wei Zheng both sighed in unison.
