Chapter 323: Madness

Faced with such a ferocious Goguryeo people, Hou Hou Junji hesitated.

Hou Junji has experienced a hundred battles, and he has encountered more difficult and difficult scenes than this. In the past, he would not hesitate to order the massacre of the Goguryeo.

But now, behind him stood the crown prince. He had to think about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Although the murderer was a Goguryeo, Hou Junji inevitably fell into the notoriety of not being able to save him. Behind these Han people is their family. Once someone with ulterior motives provokes trouble, it will be a great trouble.

Hou Junji sent someone to shout that he wanted to negotiate with the Goguryeo. Tang Jun proposed to exchange three Goguryeo people for one Han Chinese.

At this time, the Goguryeo generals on the opposite side were also a little hesitant. This Goguryeo general was called Ahn Seung-dong, and he was a close confidant of Goguryeo's prime minister, Yuan Quan Gai Su-moon.

If he completely disregarded the life and death of the Goguryeo people, he was also worried that it would affect the morale of the troops. However, now that he knew that Goguryeo had reached a dangerous moment, and that there was also the stern order of Jeon Gae-su-moon, he had no time to hesitate.

An Chengdong couldn't care so much, plus after he saw that he had killed two Han people just now, Tang Jun did not retaliate immediately. He thought that Tang Jun must have some scruples.

So, he ordered two more Han women to be pulled out and killed. In order to force the Tang army to submit.

Hou Junji was full of anger and wanted to order revenge, but his eyes were fiercely fixed on the face of his own Hou Yingjie Yizi.

Hou Yingjie suddenly understood. He wanted to slap himself in the mouth a few times. Because he shouldn't have called Hou Junji over. This kind of thing should be handled by himself.

The reason why Hou Yingjie did this was because he obeyed his father-in-law's orders and was used to it. Hou Junji's eyes let him know what he should do.

He immediately said to his guard battalion commander: "It's dangerous here, you should immediately ask Grandpa Guo to go down." ”

His guard battalion commander was a clever ghost, and immediately brought a group of people and forcibly took Hou Jun to take it down.

Hou Junji said: "You are so bold, do you want to rebel?" But he did not stop at his feet, and went towards the city.

After Hou Junji left, Hou Yingjie did not immediately order the Goguryeo people to be killed. He is the righteous son of Hou Junji, and it is not appropriate for him to do this. So Hou Yingjie glanced at the guard battalion commander.

The commander of the guard battalion had already seen clearly what was going on. So, he walked up to Hou Yingjie and stretched out his hand to slash at his neck. His shot looked heavy, but it was fast first and then slow, and when it came to Hou Yingjie's neck, it was only a light touch.

Hou Yingjie rolled his eyes and immediately fainted. The commander of the guard battalion sent someone to send Hongjie down.

After Hou Yingjie left, the commander of the guard battalion asked, "The Goguryeo people killed a few of our Han people just now?" ”

The soldiers said, "Four." ”

The commander of the guard battalion shouted, "Pull 12 Goguryeo people out." ”

Twelve men in the cart were brought to the city, their hair grabbed, and the executioners stabbed them in the back. 12 human heads landed on the ground. He was then thrown off the wall.

At this time, both the Tang army and the Goguryeo people went crazy. The two sides are more than killing.

The number of Han Chinese in the hands of the Goguryeo people was relatively small, and they were quickly killed. But the massacre on the city walls continued, and piles of Goguryeo heads were thrown down from the city walls.

The Goguryeo people went completely insane. They didn't care about casualties. Desperately attacking the city.

The Tang Army's standard equipment is the Mo Knife, which is also very practical for defending the city. The Goguryeo people climbed up the ladder to the top of the city, and the Tang soldiers raised their Mo knives and slashed downward. The condescending impact of the heavy Mo knife was unbearable for the Goguryeo people standing on the ladder.

Many soldiers holding shields had their shields split directly and their bodies cut in two.

Soon, the Goguryeo attack was repulsed again.

Soon after, the Goguryeo people rushed up again. The battle went on and on.

On this day, Hou Junji got bad news. There are not many supplies in the city of Nanpu.

In the southern city, although there were a large number of supplies stockpiled by the Goguryeo people. But after the attrition of long-term operations, coupled with the tens of thousands of people in the army and navy of the Tang Army, there is not much left.

As the saying goes, there is no single line of disaster. The next morning, there was also bad news from the Navy.

In recent times, the naval army of the Don Army has suffered. Numerous attacks by the naval forces of southern Goguryeo. Although the attack of the Goguryeo naval army was repulsed, the losses of the Tang army were not small.

That morning, an unexpected discovery happened. In the Goguryeo naval army, which attacked the Tang army's naval army, the banner of the northern Goguryeo naval army actually appeared.

Originally. The naval army of Goguryeo, in order to concentrate superior forces against the naval army of the Tang Dynasty. After departing from the Kuyanri military port, they bypassed the eastern part of the Korean Peninsula from the open sea at the risk of being capsized by the wind and waves at sea. After more than 20 days of sea voyage, it made peace with the naval army in the south of Goguryeo.

Faced with such a situation, Wang Baosheng, the general of the navy, had no choice but to concentrate the naval army of the Tang Dynasty and leave the Datong River to fight against the naval army of Goguryeo at sea.

In this way, the back of the Tang army in Nanpu City was to lose the cover of the naval army, and they faced the threat of the Goguryeo army from the east bank of the Datong River.

And the port of Nanpu is precisely the weak link in the defense of Nanpu City.

A day later, even worse news came - because the strength of the Goguryeo navy was too strong, the Tang navy could only defend itself by retreating towards the sea area of Baekje and joining up with the Baekje navy.

Hou Junji's army has since fallen into a situation of isolation and helplessness!

The Goguryeo Army, knowing that the Tang army in Nampo City had lost the cover of the naval army, was greatly boosted in morale and attacked even more frantically.

The Tang army in the city of Nanpu entered the most critical moment.

In the western part of the Korean Peninsula, Li Shimin led the main force of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and with the artillery support of Qin Huaidao, it went smoothly at the beginning. Under the powerful firepower of the Tang army's artillery, the Goguryeo army, which relied on the city's fortification, was beaten to the ground.

However, the Buyeo army on the northern side of the Eastern Crusade Army made slow progress. In order to keep the battle line straight, the Goguryeo army was not given. Created an opportunity to intersperse with sneak attacks, the Crusade had to slow down its attack and send reinforcements to support the Buyeo army.

It's mid-April. Temperatures are rising, permafrost is civilized, and the Korean Peninsula is muddy.

On the way of the advance of the Tang army, all roads and bridges were damaged by the Goguryeo, which greatly delayed the offensive speed of the Tang army.

Thanks to the excellent equipment and professional quality of the engineering units of the Tang Army, the main forces of the Eastern Expeditionary Army of the Tang Army were able to continue to advance.

On this day, in the Sunchon area of Pyongyang, the Eastern Expeditionary Army encountered the main force of the Goguryeo people. A decisive battle that will affect the success or failure of the entire battle is about to begin.
