In the undulating and steep Maruto Mountains, a powerful cavalry team is quietly walking in the middle.

"Report ---!"

Suddenly, I saw a flying horse galloping towards me.

"Chief Qiqi, the river ahead is already frozen."

The first general smiled at the person next to him and said, "It seems that Li Ji's old man didn't lie to us!" ”

The man was also very excited: "The time has come to destroy Goguryeo." ”

These two people are Qi Bi He Li and Ashina Miji.

In fact, they were the first to come to the Tang army in the Liaodong region, before Li Ji's army arrived, Qibi He Li was the governor of Liaodong Province, but they marched north along the way, and their main opponent was the Buyeo generation in the northwest of Goguryeo, and a very important ally of Goguryeo, that is, the Baishan Eagle.

They were also the most powerful cavalry team among the three armies along the way, because their soldiers were mainly the garrisons and soldiers of the Pine Desert Governor's Mansion.

But they have not appeared for a long time, and they have even been forgotten, after all, the soldiers of the Central Plains are all in the Yalu River, Xue Rengui and they all think that Qibi He Li and Ashina Mishu have been fighting in Fuyu Dao, so they don't care about them, they can be called the forgotten cavalry legion.

As the chief manager, Li Ji has not forgotten them.

Although the strong logistics provided by Han Yi to the Tang army ensured that the Tang army could consume Goguryeo, Han Yi was not a general after all, he just thought from the perspective of a politician, or even from the perspective of a businessman, as long as Goguryeo was eliminated, this deal would not be lost. But as the commander-in-chief, how could Li Ji wait and use grain to defeat Goguryeo, this is by no means the style of a military general, of course Li Ji still wants to defeat Yuangai Suwen with his own hands, they are old rivals, but they have not yet decided the winner.

Li Ji saw that Yuan Gai Suwen had repeated the old trick again, and this time it was more thorough, so he felt that he had to find a way to return to Pyongyang City, and it was too difficult to fight through such a defensive line. On the way to attack, he learned from the local people that once winter, the upper reaches of the Yalu River would freeze, and after learning the news, he secretly informed Qibi He Li that they should not rush over and fight slowly in the north, and at the same time he took advantage of Pang Xiaotai's mistake to slowly transfer the main force downstream, concentrate forces to attack downstream, and force Yuangai Suwen to shrink the front, so that the defense of the upper reaches of the Yalu River must be empty.

They can directly reach the upper reaches of the Yalu River when they come down from the Baishan Valley.

And Goguryeo's defensive stronghold in the upper reaches is mainly based on the Marudu Mountain City, but the defense line of the Marudu Mountain City is also mainly concentrated in the southeast, and they are from the north, they quietly from the path, avoid the defense line of the Marudu Mountain City, and come to a relatively wide area of the Yalu River, this crossing of the river is generally to a narrow place, will not pick a wide one, how did Yuangai Suwen never think that the Tang army crossed the river to this side, there was not even a Tang army's ships there, he only thought that the winter would cause great trouble to the enemy, didn't expect that this winter would also kill him.

At this time, the river surface here has been frozen into a mirror, and Qibi He Li and Ashina Mi Shot led 20,000 cavalry to lead horses, wearing special straw sandals, and quietly crossed the Yalu River from here.

Once this cavalry crossed the river, it was very terrifying.

After the 20,000 cavalry successfully crossed the Yalu River, Qibi He Li and Ashina Mi Shot did not stop at all, and led the army to pounce directly in the direction of Pyongyang.

This upstream has not had a battle for a long time, has been concentrated in the downstream, this generation of defenders suddenly found a powerful Tang Army iron cavalry appeared in front of them, before the fight started, they were already frightened and scattered, where did they dare to fight, and immediately fled in all directions. They fought in succession, and Goguryeo's defense line in the upper reaches seemed to be useless in front of them.

This news quickly spread to Yuangai Suwen, Yuangai Suwen couldn't be calm at this time, they can now directly attack Pyongyang, or directly detour back to the rear of their main force, and cooperate with Li Ji's army to attack on both sides, so they hurriedly ordered Erzi Yuannanjian to command all the troops in the middle reaches of the Yalu River, a total of 50,000 troops, to resist Qibi He Li.

But they have been recuperating from Khi He Li, and the cold tolerance of the Khitan soldiers is similar to that of Goguryeo, and they are also used to fighting in winter.

The two sides fought fiercely for several days in the middle reaches of the Yalu River, and finally ended with the defeat of Yuan Nanjian by Qibi He Li.

Seeing that the Tang army was already unstoppable, the tombs were all prepared for Yuangai Suwen, but at this critical moment, an edict suddenly came from the imperial court, telling Li Ji and Xue Rengui to rush to the Tuyuhun battlefield to resist the Tubo attack, and ordered Qibi He Li and Ashinami to go to the northwest battlefield quickly.

What a slap in the face!

But this really can't blame Li Zhi, Li Zhi is the most unwilling to withdraw troops from Liaodong in the current court, because he sent all the commanders here, and the court is full of civil ministers, and they are constantly putting pressure on Li Zhi these days to withdraw troops from Liaodong as soon as possible. In the end, this Goguryeo is other people's territory, this is our own home, our own house is on fire, and you are still thinking about other people's territory.

Li Zhi has been holding on, he even blocked the news, for fear of shaking the morale of the army, he hoped that Li Ji could eliminate Goguryeo before winter, but Li Ji's strategy was to eliminate Goguryeo in winter, which was very embarrassing.

Li Zhi learned that the Tang army had not broken through at the Yalu River for a long time, and winter had arrived, because the cold winter of Goguryeo was difficult to fight, and since you spent the winter there, it was better to come back for the winter, so he ordered the withdrawal of the army.

Li Ji looked at an edict blankly, and kept looking at it for half an hour, his old eyes were moist, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, "Tell the officers and soldiers of the three armies to prepare to retreat." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xue Rengui and the others were already stunned, they were about to give Goguryeo a fatal blow, why did they suddenly withdraw their troops, did Uncle Li say the wrong thing because he was too excited.

"Boss, why is this ---?"

Gao Kan was puzzled.

Li Ji showed them the edict.

When the soldiers looked at it, there was silence in the big tent.

The military order is like a mountain, not to mention the emperor's order.

Although this will be unacceptable to the king's life outside, the problem is that few generals who do this have a good end, and those who have a good end are basically successful usurpers. Even if Goguryeo is already crumbling and can be kicked with one kick, even if you win in the end, then you will not have a good life, you don't listen to the emperor's orders, the more powerful you are, the more the emperor is afraid of you.

Moreover, Li Zhi did not let them withdraw for no reason, but the situation in the country was already very urgent, and there was no way to transfer them back, and they didn't know the situation over there.

If Li Ji doesn't open this mouth, then no one dares to say, let's leave the emperor alone and destroy Goguryeo first. And Li Ji's words, if he disobeys the emperor's order, this is very dangerous, if Li Ji wants to fight, and the generals also agree, then in Li Zhi's opinion, this is the rhythm of the yellow robe, which is more terrifying than the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Ji can live to this day, because he is loyal, and he made a decision on the spot, letting the front army turn to the rear army, and the rear army to the front army, and prepare to withdraw the army.

At the same time, they also received an edict from Li Zhi. Qi Bi He Li and Ashina Mi Shot that is a depression, their side has just begun, and the result is over.

The offensive of the Don army stopped in an instant.

As for Goguryeo, they were already scared and didn't know what to do, but suddenly found that the Tang army had not advanced any further.

"Haha, God help me, God help me!"

Yuangai Suwen had just gotten the news of Tubo's all-out war against the Tang Dynasty from the spies in Laizhou, and immediately understood why the Tang army was stagnant.

"Father, the Tang army is in a hurry to retreat, this is an opportunity for us, our army should take the opportunity to counterattack, but we can't let them go easily, if their army is buried here, and the Tang Dynasty is hit hard by the Tubo side, we can also take the opportunity to attack the Central Plains." The fourth son of Yuangai Suwen said unashamedly.

Yuangai Suwen nodded, and was about to give an order to integrate his forces and counterattack the Tang army.

A general rushed into the big tent, didn't care about any etiquette, and shouted directly: "Don't be separated, Pyongyang is lost." "This Mo Zhili is the official name of the Prime Minister of Goguryeo, in fact, it is specially set up for Yuangai Suwen.

Everybody is dumbfounded.

"What do you --- say?"

Yuangai Suwen stood up, walked up to the general, and asked with wide eyes.

"Pyongyang is lost."

"Fart!"

Yuangai Suwen grabbed the man's collar with one hand and roared: "The enemy army has so many people, how can Pyongyang be lost?" ”

"It was King Gaozang who united with the Pu family to instigate the people, rushed into the barracks, tied up General Wen, and opened the city gate to surrender to the Tang army." The general said as he cried.

It turned out that after the flying troops of the Tang Army sprinkled small strips of cloth that day, the news quickly spread throughout the city, although most of the people could not read, but there were also those who could read.

Whether it is the Tang Dynasty or Goguryeo, this Wenchen almost deceived the weak, and Yuangai Suwen was a military dictatorship, he killed a lot of Wenchen during the period, and the Wenchens of course also hated Yuangai Suwen, so many literati in the city took the initiative to tell the people the content of the white cloth strip, and added oil and vinegar. If we don't surrender, we will be burned alive, the people in Pyongyang suddenly panicked, and the people who were originally united immediately lost their fighting spirit, they resolutely resisted before, mainly because the Tang army killed too much in Goguryeo, but now the Tang army has repeatedly promised that it will not kill innocents indiscriminately, under the flickering of those literati, the people in the city also believe in the Tang army, if the Tang army wants to kill, then it is more simple to burn them to death directly, why bother to give this warning.

This flying unit has just appeared, and the Tang army itself is not very clear about this mysterious force, not to mention the people of Goguryeo, no one knows how many fireballs the flying unit can drop, in their opinion, since the Tang army can drop hundreds, then it must also be able to throw thousands, or even tens of thousands, and if it doesn't work at a time, throw it a few more times.

Of course, Wen Shamen will not surrender, he is extremely loyal to Yuangai Suwen, and he is Yuangai Suwen's henchman, he saw this situation, and knew that he had only one way to go, that is, to go out of the city and fight to the death with the Tang army, and if he won the battle, then he could prevent the Tang army from throwing fire in.

You must know that the Tang army didn't even give him time to ask for help, Han Yi limited him to surrender within three days, but it is estimated that the people in the city will riot on the second day, because the people also know that this can't be played, and they can't stop the big birds in the sky at all, and people can come over anytime and anywhere. So Wen Shamen sent a letter to Su Dingfang in the evening of the same day, telling Su Dingfang, don't lose your fire, I will send someone to you tomorrow to talk about our surrender. But on the night of the same day, they led the main force to sneak out of the city, preparing to attack the Tang army and fight against the water.

Su Dingfang and they all expected that the other party would come to make a trick, and they had already laid an ambush, just waiting for you to go out, just your virtue, and you still want to fool us, and the ancestor of this fool is now sitting in our big tent. Not long after this Wenshamen went out, it was ambushed by the Tang army, and almost the whole army was not wiped out, and Wenshamen was also under the desperate protection of his subordinates before fleeing back to the city.

At this time, the Tang army took advantage of the situation to surround the entire Pyongyang, although the Tang army did not have many troops, but because the defenders of Pyongyang had been wiped out by them.
