The fifth year of Zhenguan, October.

In the same month, Niu Jinda led 100,000 Tang and Xin coalition troops to the north, annihilating 30,000 defenders of Goguryeo on the bank of the Han River, and the troops reached Pyongyang.

Because Goguryeo's defense system was all placed in the north and west to focus on the Tang Dynasty, the entire south was papery for Niu Jinda except for tens of thousands of defenders, and there was no natural Xiongguan like Changbai Mountain, so Niu Jinda was advancing almost at a speed of 100 miles a day.

If nothing else, at most a month, Niu Jinda will be able to reach Pyongyang.

Today's Goguryeo has overdrawn its national strength to the limit, the country is already withering, and an army of nearly 300,000 has been recruited, and the common people have basically reached the edge of not being able to survive.

At this time, the national contradictions in their country were noisy again, and this person had a big temper when he couldn't afford to live, and the national storm north of the Yalu River was irrepressibly swept towards them.

North of the Yalu River, after all, this is not the hometown of the Han Dynasty, so the proportion of Han people is much less, but after all, Goguryeo has been established for hundreds of years, and it is a multi-ethnic integration country, no matter how few those Han people have a ratio of 12 out of 10.

Those helpless people easily vented their anger on the Han people, which forced the Han people to join forces and flee into the mountains and forests to rebel under the instigation of the Tang Dynasty spies.

What's even more uncomfortable is that those who have long been unable to distinguish whether they are Buyeong people or Han Chinese, you must know that there is not much difference between East Asian races in appearance, plus mixed-race and mixed-race, as long as people themselves don't say that they are Han, how can ghosts tell the difference!

These people did not escape into the mountains and forests, but they were more terrible than those Han people who rebelled under the banner of openness, because most of them had been rebelled by the rumors of the Tang Dynasty.

At the moment of the great enemy, what is the experience of 12 out of 12 people in the country thinking about joining the enemy?

In short, Goguryeo's current strength is already stretched, and even new recruits cannot be recruited.

In the area of the Hunjiang River, only more than 100,000 people can be squeezed out, and many of them are new soldiers, and there is no numerical advantage compared with Niu Jinda.

The vast plains as far as the eye can see, and the few man-made walls do not give them any sense of security.

As for the dispatch of the defenders of Changbai Mountain to the south, they had never thought of this kind of thing, Li Shimin was much more fierce than Niu Jindameng.

Gao Jianwu walked out of the royal city and took a look at the scenery outside.

Sunset, the western mountains.

All they can do now in Goguryeo is to mobilize the last defenders to deploy on the southern front of Pyongyang, dragging it out day by day, in case tomorrow there will be a super snowfall that freezes the Tang army who are afraid of the cold to death?

If Gao Jianwu knew, there were 100 Tang spies among the 300 masters he found to beg for snow, and he was silently reciting the snow of Don't Be a special mother, and he didn't know what it would be like in his heart.

Just when the 100,000-strong army was assembling on the southern front of Pyongyang, Gao Jianwu heard the news that Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County of the Tang Dynasty, and Qin Hao, the Marquis of Deyang, had come from the sea to attack Shicheng on the northern line of Pyongyang.

Fight on three sides! Datang dared to fight on three sides!

…………

When Qin Hao got off the boat, his little heart beat like a hundred-meter race, although there was a god-level cavalry commander like Li Daozong to escort him, but this was a battlefield, both legs were already a little weak, or Sun Er, who was beside him, had been secretly holding him, it was estimated that he would have been out of the ocean nine times out of ten.

Fortunately, the progress is still relatively smooth, Li Shimin has already regarded the sailor as his own heart, how can he hand over the hard bones to them to gnaw, when their troops are approaching the city, the nearby rumors and yamen spies reported that there are only more than 5,000 old, weak, sick and disabled left in the city, and the army has gone to the southern front of Pyongyang in order to block the cattle from reaching two days ago.

It's easy to go out and it's hard to come back, with Li Daozong escorting Qin Hao, Goguryeo can only kneel even if tens of thousands of people come back to help.

What surprised him even more was that before he could finish his camp, a local Han guerrilla army came to join them, led by the brothers of the Fengyan Yamen he had brought before.

This can really be described as a charcoal in the snow, Qin Hao hugged his old subordinate and patted his shoulder playfully, not to mention how touched.

In the next three days, a total of more than a dozen waves of local Han guerrillas came to him, as few as seven or eight hundred, as many as three or two thousand, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Hao actually had an extra army of thirty or forty thousand in his hands, which made Qin Hao himself a little confused.

On the contrary, Li Daozong did not look surprised, as if he had expected it a long time ago.

Qin Hao didn't understand at this time, Li Shimin and they had already figured out these things, and they were at least seven or eight points sure, and it was right to calculate themselves, but they were smashing him with pies.

There are these tens of thousands of people, although the combat strength is not good, but for a famous general like Li Daozong, how can he only use cavalry, it doesn't matter if his sailors don't go ashore or not, Shicheng was already in the bag of the Tang Dynasty when Li Daozong appeared.

The reason why Qin Hao was allowed was to smash this great credit on his head.

Qin Hao's role in the battle of Goguryeo, the more high-level bigwigs can see it more thoroughly, and this battle exploit even surpasses that of Li Tao who broke through the Great Wall and Niu Jinda who opened up the second battlefield, and even the important naval army was built from scratch without spending a penny of the imperial court.

Because of this, Li Shimin will have the idea of making him a national prince after the war, and it is more than enough to exchange a national prince for Qin Hao's merits, and those bigwigs have no opinions.

However, the big guy has no opinion, but it doesn't mean that the people below have no opinion, in the eyes of many people below, Qin Hao is almost a soy sauce character this time, except for transporting grain, troops, and supplies, he has never fought a tough battle, when will the captain of the transportation brigade be able to seal the country?

In order to convince the public, coupled with Qin Hao's initiative to give up military power, Li Shimin was actually relieved and at the same time quite guilty in his heart, so he made this credit into a pie and threw it directly into his mouth, how did he know that Qin Hao actually didn't know how to fight at all.

As for Li Daozong, who suffered, he himself doesn't care, after all, he is a clan, and the title is the prince, as long as he is still the most capable of fighting in the clan, his position in the Tang Dynasty is as stable as Mount Tai, and when he can't beat him, he will definitely still enter the Tang Federal Reserve, and it is a very cost-effective thing for him to sell Qin Hao's favor now.

Now, Qin Hao, who had been nervous for several days, finally became high-spirited again, and took a simple microphone to the city of Shicheng to demonstrate and persuade him to surrender, but before he could get closer, his legs trembled again, if there was an archer or something like that in the city, wouldn't he kneel? That's a lot of wrongdoing.

So Qin Hao stuffed the microphone into Pei Xingjian's hand, "You go, this battle is handed over to you, eldest brother believes in you and waits for the good news of your victory." ”
