Chapter 79: The Battle of the Lulu River 1
An Shun led tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to flee to Niucen without a fight, and Li Jinxing and Gao Kan led the army to Seoul and learned that An Shun had fled in the direction. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Jinxing said: The Anshun army fled in panic, and the soldiers had no heart to fight, and if they led the cavalry to catch up, they could fight Goguryeo. He decided to personally lead 30,000 cavalry to pursue Anshun, followed by more than 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Gao Kan, mainly infantry, and wiped out the remnants of Goguryeo in various cities along the way.
Two days after An Shungang and his troops fled to Oxengseong, the envoy sent to Silla happened to return with good news and said to An Shun: Kim Famin, the king of Silla, is willing to send troops to help our country again, and he is sending 30,000 soldiers and horses to assemble in the east of the Lulu River.
"Good, good!" An Shun almost cried with joy after hearing this, there is no endless road, if Silla does not send reinforcements, only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses will not be able to stop the Tang army of the tiger and wolf lion.
When he heard that it was Li Jinxing, who led the army to the south the year before last, he led the army to exterminate the anti-Tang rebels of Goguryeo from all walks of life, and An Shun was even more frightened.
Regardless of the danger of losing troops in the defeat of Shimen, Silla sent another 30,000 soldiers and horses to help, and An Shun almost knelt down in the direction of Jinseong, the capital of Silla.
But before he was happy for two hours, the sentry horse came to report: The Tang army was ninety miles away from Niu Cen.
Ahn Sun, who was feasting in the palace to celebrate the reinforcements sent by Silla, was stunned on the throne, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and a needle could be heard in the hall.
"What are you still doing in a daze, and order the whole army to quickly withdraw to the Lulu River to join forces with Silla." An Shun jumped to his feet and shouted, kicked off the desk full of food in front of him, and ran out of the palace quickly, shouting at the palace guards as he ran. The ministers followed closely behind An Shun, and when they ran out of the palace, they hurried home and beckoned their wives and daughters to pack up their things and prepare to run away again.
The city of Nusem is like Seoul a few days ago, and Pyongyang a few days ago is in a chaotic mess, and the soldiers and civilians in the city are scrambling to crowd out of the city.
An Shun, who led the army out of the city first, also didn't care about the officials, soldiers and people in the city who had not yet left the city, and led 10,000 soldiers and horses who had already left the city and some of the people to rush to the Lulu River.
Li Jinxing led his troops day and night to Duogu City, forty miles northwest of Niucen, where Goguryeo diehards tried to defend the city. As a result, the Tang army charged, ropes to the city, hundreds of elite soldiers climbed the wall as if walking on the ground a few times before going up to the city, and the city of more than a thousand soldiers was taken in less than an hour.
Li Jinxing was about to order the whole army to enter the city to rest, when the sentry cavalry quickly came to report: "General, the Goguryeo army in the city of Oxen fled east yesterday, and the captured live mouth said that Silla sent tens of thousands of troops to meet the Goguryeo army at the Gulu River. ”
Li Jinxing held the horsewhip and pondered, the Silla people did not give up their undue ambitions because of the defeat in the Battle of Seokmon, and the so-called apology and request for peace before seemed to be just a sign of delay. Hehe, it seems that His Royal Highness had expected that he would send the Silla envoys to Chang'an to apologize to His Majesty for peace, and the attack on Goguryeo would not stop for a moment.
Before the expedition, Li Yu instructed Li Jinxing: You should chase after the poor with courage, ignore him as for Silla's request for peace, and this time in the southern expedition to Ansun, Silla will send troops to rescue, and after the general defeats him, he can take advantage of the situation to attack the northern border of Silla and force Silla to withdraw his troops from Baekje.
"Humph!" Li Jinxing smiled secretly, it seems that there is still a big battle in this southern expedition!
"The herald ordered the whole army to rest for an hour, and immediately head east to the Lulu River."
"General, why don't we take Niu Cen?" Qin Jingqian asked with some puzzlement.
"The task of our army is to pursue An Shun, An Shun has run away, why are we going to Niu Cen?"
"Oh, that's what the general said." Qin Jingqian touched her head and smiled awkwardly.
An hour later, the Tang army mounted again and passed directly from the north of Niucen for dozens of miles, heading straight to the Lulu River in the east.
When the news arrived, when the Goguryeo soldiers and civilians who ran out of Niu Cen and were left behind by An Shun far behind, everyone was happy.
It seems that Tang Jun is chasing An Shun, and it has nothing to do with us. After thinking about it, this part of the army and civilians with a worried heart immediately turned back to Niu Cen and guarded themselves behind closed doors, as for the life and death of the king An Shun, who was only a few months old, they didn't bother to care.
The Tang army stayed behind the Goguryeo army's butt and chased very quickly, An Shun thought that he could leave the Tang army far behind, but he didn't think that the distance between him and the Tang army was not only not widening, but constantly narrowing.
The sentry cavalry reported that the Tang army was all cavalry, and one man and two horses chased after them day and night.
An Shun was as fast as ants on a hot pot, and the distance between them and the Tang army was only more than fifty miles away before they collided. Seeing that his subordinates in front of him were almost tired of becoming dogs, An Shun sighed non-stop, with a bitter melon look on his face.
The 10,000 soldiers and horses that followed An Shun were still brought out of Pyongyang, and the elite soldiers in it were only three or four thousand, and the cavalry was only more than 1,000, plus the families of the 10,000 troops were 40,000 or 50,000, and the marching speed was extremely slow.
If it weren't for the fear of leaving behind the soldiers' families to cause a mutiny or directly lead to the collapse of the army, An Shun would have simply run away with more than a thousand cavalry.
An Feng's clan uncle ran anxiously and said: "King, the marching speed of our army is too slow, I am afraid that if we go on like this, we will not be able to reach the Lulu River and be caught up by the Tang army." ”
"I know." An Shun waved his hand impatiently to interrupt An Feng.
"The king has to give to get!" Izumi, who escaped all the way from Anshi, was persuaded with a serious face.
An Shun, who looked haggard, glanced at the Spring Water Sutra and replied coldly: "This king knows it in his heart. ”
Regarding the king's coldness towards himself, Quan Shuijing could only smile bitterly and helpless in addition to scolding his gallant mouse generation in his heart.
Since escaping into Pyongyang, Quansujing has escaped the persecution of the upper room who wronged him, and Quanshuijing, who has no soldiers under his command, has been pondering ways to serve the country. When he found out that Jian Mu Cen monopolized power and became more and more discordant with An Shun, and the upper room, who had always been hostile to him, plotted to take refuge in Jian Mu Cen. Quanshuijing threw himself into the arms of An Shun in the heart of loyalty, and recruited many generals with military power for An Shun to fight against the powerful sword Mu Cen, which allowed An Shun to have an army of 10,000 under him, so that the undefeated sword Mu Cen had to be afraid.
However, since Ansun fled to Pyongyang without a fight, Seoul and Niucen repeatedly fled without a fight, pinning their hopes on Silla reinforcements. Quan Shuijing was suddenly a little discouraged, and he actually threw a gall mouse. Hehe, along the way, he laughed at himself and had to follow An Shun all the way to the black.
Now since the defeat of the sword Mou Cen Shimen, the whole army was wiped out and was killed by An Shun, who hated him, and Gao Yanwu in the domestic city was already destroyed by the Tang army. Quan Shui, who was bent on recovering the country, had to do his best to protect Anshun's troops and horses, and his last hope had to be pinned on the reinforcements of Silla.
