Chapter 432: The End of Goguryeo
Yes! Yuangai Suwen looked up to the sky and roared, and in a hurry, he led the team towards Li Shimin with two knives.
It's a pity that Li Shimin has people around him who intend to show himself, and before Yuangai Suwen got close, he was taken over by more than a dozen knights.
Yuangai Su Wenkong has a skill, facing the siege of more than a dozen people with good military strength, and before he can play one-twelve, he was divided into corpses by random knives.
Li Chonghui and the others glanced at each other proudly, and then killed the others, not noticing Li Shimin, who was robbed of their heads, staring at the backs of several people angrily, waving the horse lance in his hand, venting the anger in his heart.
I finally met a general, and I wanted to take down the head, and I had to brag about the capital in the future, who knew that it would be taken away by the passing auxiliary, and it would not be revenge, and it would be inevitable to wear small shoes in the future.
The death of Yuangai Suwen was just an introduction, and the arrival of Li Shimin's reinforcements was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Seven teams of 10,000 people continued to rush towards the rear of the enemy who was fighting, not only disrupting the formation, but also liberating more friendly troops.
And the breakthrough behind the back, the harvest is very easy, and many Goguryeo people don't understand until they die, why there are enemies behind them, obviously there are many of them, why it is more like being surrounded by the Tang Dynasty.
A big battle, from morning to sunset, the battlefield is getting farther and farther, small forces fighting, Goguryeo is even more of an opponent.
And too many of them have not experienced the battlefield, so their will to fight is not strong, and after fighting for a long time, their blood has already cooled, and they are frightened and timid in the face of the sea of corpses and blood.
After half a day of bloody fighting, there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and most of them were Goguryeo costumes, and many of the people who came to their senses had already dropped their weapons and fled into the mountains and forests, which accelerated the defeat of Goguryeo even more.
The sun is setting, reflecting the entire basin, there are dark red blood stains everywhere, dense corpses, half of the basin, now the war horses can't run wildly, otherwise they will trip over the corpses.
Victory is in sight, and Datang has no shortage of generals, constantly boosting morale, so although tired, morale is still high.
Mo swordsmen and archers have long been out of strength, just barely carrying short knives to fight, heavy cavalry, heavy infantry are only mechanically killing the nearest enemy.
The light cavalry and horses couldn't run, and they became infantry, only the Lux Legion, which was still running, although there was a rough kick in their mouths, but they did still have the energy to chase and kill the equally tired Goguryeo.
The army of fanatic believers, also trained by Feng Daiwen in Liaoxi, focuses on endurance, although it has no energy to shout slogans, it is very energetic to kill.
This is the most special legion, they have the strongest faith, they have experienced many foreign wars, they will be red when they kill people, they will never stop without being ordered, and no matter who they are, they will destroy the enemy who is standing, whether they are fleeing or wounded, they can be hacked to death, and they will never be cut.
As the sun set, the battle was basically over, the Goguryeo people fled into the mountains and forests, and the Tang Dynasty soldiers had no strength to chase after them, and many people were relieved and sat on the ground.
A battle of more than 2 million people ended in just half a day, without the help of the right time and place, no water to attack the fire, all hard fighting, this simply broke history, maybe there will be in the future, but it has not happened before, even if it is a larger-scale battle, it is also with the help of the right time and place, in order to end quickly.
Only about 500,000 Goguryeo people fled, and the rest either surrendered voluntarily or were injured and could not run, and nearly a million died.
And Datang is also tragic, with more than 100,000 deaths, nearly 100,000 serious injuries, and minor injuries.
Fang Xuanling and others took tens of thousands of people, belatedly late, to help clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded, most of them vomited wildly when they saw the tragic battlefield, and even the medical officers who were used to seeing all kinds of wounds and death were churning in their hearts and their faces were pale.
Fortunately, I still remembered my responsibilities and endured to start treatment, and after the people vomited, they slowly stepped forward to help, but fortunately, it was late, and I couldn't see it from afar, which made me feel a lot better.
Speechless all night, the next day, the next day, the Tang Dynasty soldiers who repaired all night, many of them recovered their energy, Li Jing dispatched 30,000 soldiers who recovered well and were slightly injured, and went to station outside Pingxiang City, so as not to escape those nobles.
For Pingxiang, who was young and strong, the men were evacuated, and the whole city was almost full of women and children, the 30,000 army, stationed outside the city, blocked the possibility of their escape.
After the treatment of the seriously wounded soldiers, they were all left and transported to the rear to recuperate, and the rest of the minor injuries were helped to clean up the battlefield, the weather was hot, and they were worried about causing the plague, so they simply collected their own corpses and cremated them, as for the Goguryeo people, they were piled together, a lot, a lot, poured gasoline, and the fire burned.
After only one day of repairing in the same place, the army withdrew with the wounded, and set up camp a hundred miles away to begin repairing.
Now that the main force of Goguryeo was completely destroyed, Li Shimin was not in a hurry at all, quietly waiting for reinforcements from the rear, and forcibly ordered Silla and Baekje to clean up Goguryeo except for Pyongxiang and completely block the retreat.
In mid-August, Li Shimin took the 100,000 troops transferred up, plus 100,000 recovered men and horses, a total of more than 200,000 troops, and stationed troops outside the city.
On August 20, the king of Baekje, Buyeozhang, and the queen of Silla, Kim Seungman, came to visit them with gifts, and the two were apprehensive, not knowing how the Tang Dynasty would treat the two countries.
That night, Jin Shengman lived in Li Shimin's tent, and as for Fuyu Zhang, Li Shimin just met with him and handed it over to Fang Xuanling and others.
On August 22, Li Shimin finally remembered the Goguryeo people in Pingxiang City, and led Fuyu Zhang and Jin Shengman to watch the siege.
Duan Zhixuan was instructed, twenty steel cannons and ten tanks lined up, and with an order, the artillery fire poured mercilessly towards the city.
In Fuyu Zhang, Jin Shengman was stunned, and the head of Pingxiang City was bombed into a mess, and the city gate didn't know where it went.
After a few rounds of shelling, Fuyu Zhang was already so frightened that his clothes were soaked with sweat, and as for Jin Shengman, he almost threw himself into Li Shimin's arms, and the little bird leaned next to Li Shimin like a person, and he didn't have a little queen demeanor.
Soon, the head of Pingxiang City erected a white flag, several nobles trembling out of the city gate, kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, just now the earth-shattering loud noise, the collapse of the city gate, has frightened them, in the heart of the heart of the luck.
After a while, the new king of Goguryeo, the son of Gao Jianwu's younger brother Gao Dayang, who was only twelve years old, came out of the city with the support of the minister, and knelt in front of Li Shimin in a proper manner.
"Sinners are buried and meet the Tang Sage!" Gao Fu, who was specially taught how to speak, said crisply, his little face was flushed, and he kept peeking at Li Shimin, his body trembled slightly, obviously very nervous and scared.
