If you can't find Laihu'er, let alone defend Pyongyang City, you can't help it, even if you want to evacuate.

Now they have breached Pyongyang and captured Gao Yuan alive, but they are in a difficult situation where they are difficult to ride a tiger.

"You said we're going to stay here, okay?" Si Ye asked. "Even if we can't find Laihu'er now, I'm sure he hasn't returned to Dongnae-gun, and as long as he's still on the coast of the Korean Peninsula, he'll know that we're here in Pyongyang sooner or later. When he knows the news, he will definitely come to help. ”

It's just that Wei Zheng broke the illusion of the heir.

"Although what the three generals said is good, there is a question of how long can we hold Pyongyang with more than 10,000 people? Do you want to stick to the help of the sailor? If we find Lai'er now, we may be able to persevere, but now we don't even know where the Lai'er is located, how long will we hold on and how long? ”

The Goguryeo army will be killed at any time, and it may be three or five days later.

And now that the Eighth Army has been defeated, although there is still a force and horses to defend Daxing City, it is difficult for them to protect themselves, and the Left Fifth Army in Pyongyang City does not want to expect reinforcements from the direction of Liaodong.

Goguryeo, on the other hand, was able to gather an army of 150,000 to 200,000 to capture Pyongyang.

The fourth man chewed a piece of beef jerky, "Remind you, it's already July now, the climate of Liaodong, as soon as it enters September, it will rain in autumn, and the water level of the big rivers and small rivers will skyrocket, plus the cold autumn in Liaodong, it is extremely difficult to march, let alone wait for the winter to march." ”

Luo Cheng pinched his chin, there were 17,000 people, and it was too difficult to hold Pyongyang. Of course, if the Left Fifth Army held on, there might be a certain chance that it would be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

But the question is, is this worth it for Luo Cheng?

Not to mention that the probability of holding on is too low, even if he really holds on and waits for reinforcements to come, it is estimated that his 10,000 or so people will have to be thrown here. For him Luo Cheng, it is really an unworthwhile thing to achieve success and ten thousand bones.

Especially if there is chaos today, the military power in his hand is the greatest guarantee, and these 10,000 people are tempered by him Luo Cheng on the battlefield, not to mention that he can fight, and he has great prestige.

If this army is defeated, even if he is promoted by Luo Cheng, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses.

Moreover, Luo Cheng didn't quite believe that he could hold on.

As the fourth child said, it is time to come, after the defeat of the Eighth Army, it is impossible for Liaodong to send a strong army to Pyongyang to rescue again.

Although the sea force is also a strong army, it is also inconvenient to ship by sea, especially when the Goguryeo army surrounds Pyongyang, and even if Laihu'er comes to help from the sea, it may not be able to penetrate the interception of more than 100,000 Goguryeo troops to Pyongyang.

After all, Laihu'er had already lost 30,000 elite main forces under the Goguryeo army before, which shows that the Goguryeo army is not weak. Since the Goguryeo army was able to defeat Laihu'er first, and then defeat Yuwenshu and others, in a short period of time, it annihilated more than 300,000 Sui troops, which was not weak but very strong.

Luo Cheng spoke slowly.

"These days, I've actually been walking around the barracks below, chatting with everyone and listening to their thoughts. In fact, most of the brothers felt that there was no need to defend Pyongyang, and they thought that it was enough to take Pyongyang City and then get a vote and leave, and they could not leave their lives here. ”

"I don't think everyone is afraid of death, after all, they followed me Luo Cheng all the way from Liaodong to kill here. When I was in Sasu, I didn't fear death and followed me back to Pyongyang, but everyone is right, there is no need for us to fight to the death here. ”

"As the saying goes, the city is dead, but the man is alive. If you lose your land, you lose both your land and your land, and if you lose your land, you can regain your land. Since we have the ability to capture Pyongyang once, we have the ability to capture him again. ”

Everyone was a little surprised when they saw Luo Cheng's statement, originally everyone thought that Luo Cheng would be ruthless and said that he would stick to Pyongyang.

"But now we can't find Laihu'er, if we abandon Pyongyang, where will we go?"

"Prepare for evacuation first, pack all the things we need to bring, and leave at any time once we find Laihu'er. If we really can't find Laigo'er, then we can only retreat to Baekje, Silla, or return north to Daehangseong. ”

The fourth brother said hehehe, "If you really want to withdraw, I suggest that you kill all the Goguryeo people in the city first, and then burn the city of Pyongyang when you leave." ”

His proposal made everyone frown.

"There are now more than 100,000 people in the city of Pyongyang."

"So what, let's come all the way, and there are fewer Goguryeo people killed? Xuanwu City was killed, Xincheng was killed, Susheng Bone City was also killed, Daxing City was killed, and Sashui River was also killed, what are you polite now? ”

"Killing one is killing, and killing 100,000 people is also killing."

Killing one person is a crime, killing 10,000 people is a hero, killing 100,000 people is a male among the heroes, in the eyes of the fourth child, the Goguryeo people are not people at all, and how much they kill is a war.

"What's there to hesitate about, since we're leaving, do we still keep these people? Keep it for the New Year or keep it for the next time we come again, they will resist us, kill them all when we leave, set them on fire, and see how the Goguryeo people will resist next time? ”

Wei Zheng was entangled a few times over there, from the perspective of actual combat, what Luo Laosi said was right, the war, it should be like this, this is a war to destroy the country after all. But after all, he also read the books of Confucian sages, and this act of slaughtering and burning the city is still a little too terrifying.

But if you don't kill, it's really a problem to keep it, but you can't take it away if you don't kill it.

Luo Cheng thought about it, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Send additional men to continue to search for sailors along the coasts on both sides of the mouth of the Bei River." Luo Chengdao.

After a pause, Luo Cheng said again, "Send someone to Daxingcheng to see if you can contact them, tell them that we have broken Pyongyang, and then abandon Pyongyang, let them hold on to themselves, and let the sailors meet them when they turn back." ”

"What about us?" Si Ye asked.

"Let the Goguryeo people in the city demolish Pyongyang City, tear down all the walls of the outer city, the inner city, and the palace city, tear down the city walls, and then fill the moat for me."

"After Pyongyang is demolished, we will leave, leave those women, old and weak children here, and we will take those young and strong people away, and let them transport and carry the captured materials for us with the army."

"Keep it, don't kill it?"

"A group of women and children, old and weak, killed them unkindly. Besides, keeping it will not become a problem for the future, and these people will not be able to resist us with swords and weapons, but it will be a burden to Goguryeo. ”

As for these young and strong men of Goguryeo who may resist in the future, Luo Cheng will take them all away, not only to transport materials, but also to reduce the number of Goguryeo.

"Remember to bring only money and armor, as for food, there is no need to bring too much, just bring some, and burn the rest on the spot."

Wei Zheng gave Luo Cheng a thumbs up, "The general's move is more ruthless than the slaughter of the four generals!" ”

"Go for it!" Luo Cheng said with some interest, "Remember to bring Gao Yuan and his hundred officials." ”
