As mentioned earlier, Goguryeo actually has no war potential, and although there are still some soldiers, most of these soldiers are old soldiers and cannot fight at all.

Goguryeo has been established for many years, and there have been several wars with the Great Sui, although they have been beaten miserably each time, but in the end they did hold the Yalu River, and did not let any Sui soldiers cross to the east of the Yalu River.

Later, when the Tang Dynasty was established, King Rongliu was afraid of Li Shimin, so while he continued to build the Great Wall, he also sent all the elite soldiers to the border, as for his puppet Chang'an...... All the defenders were the sons of wealthy families or high-ranking families.

In this way, the soldiers naturally become old soldiers, and they are the best in terms of equipment and military salaries on weekdays, but if you want to say that you can fight a war, you really run faster than a rabbit.

It was only so easy to capture the capital of Goguryeo this time, and Goguryeo's resistance was only symbolic, and it did not fight desperately with the Tang army.

This caught everyone, including Li Daozong, a little off guard, and planned to sacrifice a large number of people to achieve victory, but he didn't expect that less than two hundred people had died, and the capital of Goguryeo had been completely taken.

"Governor, is this Goguryeo Imperial City still fighting? The little emperor can say that if we attack him, he will destroy the palace. Xiao Duan stood in front of the gate of the Goguryeo Imperial City with some schadenfreude, watching the nervous defenders above ask Li Daozong for advice.

"It's like this whether it's destroyed or not, is it possible that your kid still wants to quit?" Li Daozong also observed the imperial city and subconsciously replied.

All the thoughts that this old man thinks about are how to break through the imperial city, as for whether Gaozang will destroy the capital, Li Daozong can say with certainty: Not now.

Why? Because most of the people in Goguryeo no longer had the will to fight, they only wanted to surrender now. Maybe Gaozang wanted to die, maybe someone else wanted him to die, but when most people wanted to live, they simply couldn't afford to burn down the entire palace.

"It's impossible to quit, the little nephew is just wondering, let's fight a little bit and scare this kid to death." Duan Zan said as if he didn't look like he was four or six.

So far, there is nothing to say, whether it is Gao Zang or Yuangai Suwen, even if these people have great ability, they can't make any big waves.

In the past, they still had a city to rely on, but now the puppet Chang'an has been controlled by the Liaodong Army, and with only one imperial city, even if there are male soldiers, it is difficult to make great achievements without logistics supplies.

Unless the 20,000 or so troops in his imperial city are all heroes who are not afraid of death, maybe they can protect them and rush out of the bloody way.

And it's only limited to rushing out, and if you want to turn defeat into victory, don't even think about it.

Because don't look at the current Liaodong Legion there are only 60,000 people, but those occupied cities have a large number of Tang defenders stationed, even if the Liaodong Legion is eliminated by them, it will not take a month, and there will be a second Liaodong Legion to kill the puppet Chang'an.

"Grand Governor, the last general has already taken 30,000 Goguryeo people to the place, I wonder if I can let them attack?" While Li Daozong and Duan Zan were pulling around, the two brothers of the Cheng family ran over out of breath.

"Escort them in, tell them that as long as they can open the city gates, they will be free, otherwise they will be ......" Li Daozong took a deep breath and gave an order that made him very entangled.

It was Goguryeo people who were escorted up, but in any case, these people were also civilians, which made Li Daozong a little unbearable.

However, he also knew that this would indeed allow his subordinates to die less, and although the ideas of these gentlemen in the Liaodong Legion were a little poisonous, it was indeed a good way.

30,000 Goguryeo people were forced to approach the walls of the imperial city with spears and crossbows, and looked up at the trembling defenders ...... above.

"Little third son, you bastard, don't surrender or wait for anything, do you want to wait for the whole family to be killed."

"Four dogs, hurry up and surrender, if we don't surrender, we won't all be able to live."

"Fat baby, save us, if you don't surrender in an hour, we will all die."

A terrible shout sounded outside the imperial city, and Goguryeo, who was frightened by the Tang army, shouted frantically, or slammed the city gate, or slapped the city wall, in order to survive, they almost forgot some of it.

"General, let's open the city, we don't have a chance."

"You can't open the city, everyone is ready to fight."

The people outside are arguing, the soldiers and officers inside the city are arguing, and those people outside may have their parents and relatives inside, how can these soldiers who have no intention of fighting again attack them.

At this time, the news of the siege of the city by the people had been sent into the palace, and after hearing the news, His Majesty Gao Zang, the new emperor, sat down in a daze, and looked at Yuangai Suwen on the side with resentful eyes: "Aiqing, you, what do you think is going to do now?" ”

How is it good? Yuangai Suwen also wanted to know what to do, but now he had no one to ask, so he could only sigh in his heart: his heart is higher than the sky, and his life is thinner than paper.

He has great ambition and great perseverance, if not ...... If it weren't for the waste of Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu, Goguryeo would definitely not be what it is now.

If it weren't for Gao Jianwu's wariness of the Tang Dynasty and his constant construction of the Great Wall, how could it arouse Li Shimin's vigilance?

If it weren't for Gao Jianwu's persistent refusal to return the bones of those Han people in the former Sui to the Tang Dynasty, how could it attract the attack of the Tang army.

If it weren't for Gao Jianwu's cowardice and incompetence, so much so that Goguryeo officialdom was corrupted and a large number of people with lofty ideals were framed to death, how could the huge Goguryeo have no available generals.

Of course, the most important thing is that Gao Jianwu is unwilling to give up the throne and refuse to be a puppet, if he is willing, Goguryeo will definitely rise under the rule of his Yuangai Suwen, even in the face of the Tang Dynasty's millions of heroes.

It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now, Goguryeo is already finished, even if the outer city is not lost, how many days can Goguryeo hold on? Even if the Tang Dynasty really retreated, how could Goguryeo, which was only one isolated city, escape from the clutches of the other two neighbors.

Don't look at the fact that Silla and Baekje are constantly sending people to contact Goguryeo, it is because there are still more than 100,000 defenders in the city to do so.

If they knew that these defenders were just useless showmen, they were afraid that they would be the first to rush up before the Tang Dynasty attacked.

"Don't leave the branch, the time is coming soon, you see, what should we do?" After a long time, facing Yuangai Suwen, who had been speechless for a long time, Gao Zang asked again.

"Don't think about it, open the palace gate, we surrender!"
