Chapter 1151: The End of Goguryeo (7)
In ancient times, the army was generally a fellow villager in every fire, every river, and every regiment, and even most of the people in the fire were relatives, which was determined by the ancient military service system, and no one could change it.
So these guys under the skinny squad leader are basically people from the same place, breaking bones and connecting tendons with each other.
As the last member of the assault team fell, the skinny squad leader lost one of his closest relatives, the seventh brother who had been taking care of him since childhood.
It was his own brother, and the position of squad leader should have been his, but for the sake of his younger brother, he would rather be the leader of a combat team and give the position of squad leader to a skinny guy.
This is a brother, a brother who is connected by blood.
Usually for the sake of his younger brother, the hardest training brother is the first to take the lead, and the most needed ground stop brother to take the lead, all this is just for his younger brother.
Now, Brother Qi is gone, everything is just because he came late, if he can ...... a little more in the morning.
The thin guy felt remorse in his heart, hated himself for coming late, hated those Goguryeo for being too ruthless, and a kind of anger filled his mind, looking at the Goguryeo people who surrounded him and the defenders who planned to continue to close the city gates, he let out a roar similar to that of a beast: "Kill them all for Lao Tzu!" ”
"Killing ......" is usually a brother who stirs horses and spoons in a pot, and they have been together for several years, and the sadness in the hearts of the rest of the 'fangs' soldiers is no less than that of the squad leader.
The slaughter, the real slaughter, began, and the 'killing machines' with boundless anger first slaughtered all the Goguryeo people who were pushing the gate, and then advanced to the periphery of the city gate, vacating a place at the city gate to make room for the brothers in the back.
As for opening the ......door, who still has the heart to open the door, kill all the Goguryeo people in front of them, sacrifice the dead heroic spirits with their blood, and then take the corpses of their dead brothers home, this is the only thing they have to do.
All of this is a long story, but in fact it only happened in a short quarter of an hour, and by the time the guard who had gone to the imperial city to ask for instructions returned, the entire West Gate had been completely lost, and even the Goguryeo royal flag on the city wall had been replaced with the black banner of the Liaodong Army.
"What's going on, what the hell is going on!" The guard general looked at the flag on the head of the city blankly, he didn't know why he just went to the imperial city, why he changed the king's flag at the head of the city when he came back, could it be that the deputy general guarding the city was treasonous?
"Tang, the Tang army is attacking the city, I, we can't hold it! General, withdraw quickly, and don't leave ...... again."
"Boom ......" A series of explosions came from not far ahead, interrupting the soldiers' return and startling the horses to neigh.
"Why? Why did the Don army attack the city? Where did they come from? Why did the West Gate fall so quickly? "The guards really can't imagine how all this happened.
In his opinion, if the Tang army wants to take the West Gate, it will be impossible in a few days, but now the real results are in front of him, and the Tang Army only needs to take the West Gate...... Well...... Time to go to the Royal Palace.
"Yes, it's the adjutant general, and the adjutant general listens to the refugees outside who have gold in their hands, so ...... Therefore...... "The little soldier who answered the question of the guard was also a well-informed person, and he actually knew how the city gate was opened."
But the guard didn't let him finish his sentence, and of course, there was no time for him to finish it.
Because there was already a fierce sound of horses' hooves coming from outside the city, and the faint terrible screams were constantly ringing.
The trembling on the ground told everyone that the cavalry, this is the movement of the cavalry when the brigade of cavalry assaults, as for the screaming...... There are so many refugees outside, and in the face of the assault of the cavalry, it can be regarded as the smoke of the ancestral tomb if they can survive.
"Straighten out the team, arm! Hurry up, hurry up! After the guard reacted to what had happened, his face turned pale, and while gathering the rout, he sent someone to report to the imperial city.
However, it is clear that his orders were not carried out well, and the scattered Goguryeo soldiers did not care about any orders at all, and in their eyes there was nothing else but to flee for their lives.
As I just said earlier, in fact, the soldiers who can fight have already died in the previous battle, and now there are a lot of soldiers in the pseudo-Chang'an, in fact, these soldiers have long been frightened and lost the courage to face the Tang army.
Of course, if it was just a defensive battle, standing on the high city wall to face the attacking Tang army to attack, this would still be acceptable to them, because after all, there was no need to face each other, and the danger was much lower.
The defender also quickly discovered the situation he needed to face - the soldiers had no desire to fight, and after seeing the cavalry led by Brother Cave pouring into the city like ants, the defender's determination to fight to the death faded, and he turned his horse's head and went straight home.
Damn the defenders of the city, whoever can fight it, I have long said that I don't want those dumb people to be their lieutenants, but the above just don't listen. Now that such a Lou Zi has been poked out, whoever can clean it up will clean it up, Lao Tzu will not do it.
With the idea of getting by, the Xicheng guard returned to his home, summoned his wife and children to his side, and waited for Tang Jun to come to the door.
The same situation is still playing out everywhere in the pseudo-Chang'an, and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries have the idea of getting by, and they all huddle at home one by one, waiting for the Tang army to come to the door, and then surrender.
If the soldiers have no will to fight, they will have no will to fight! This is the real situation in the pseudo-Chang'an.
In fact, in this battle, except for Yuangai Suwen, there is no one who wants to continue fighting, everyone only has one life, if they don't resist, they may be able to pick up a life if they surrender early.
After all, even if the Tang Dynasty defeated Goguryeo, it still needs someone to govern it, and these Goguryeo high-ranking officials don't think that those Tang people can govern this place without them.
And it seems that there are only a few people who are dissatisfied with Datang and continue to provoke Datang, and as long as these people are handed over, it will still be a good ending for you, me, and everyone.
It is precisely because of this that the chaos in the puppet Chang'an is getting worse and worse, and the cave brother who entered the city led his soldiers and horses into a no-man's land, chasing and killing those fleeing Goguryeo soldiers all over the city.
As for the Goguryeo refugees, as long as they don't get in the way, no one will pay attention to them, and the people on the left and right are already hungry and can't get up, so just leave them aside and wait for the troops behind to clean up the mess.
In the face of countless 'war exploits' who are fleeing everywhere, those Khitan people are red-eyed, and the people and refugees will naturally not pay attention to anything.
The battle continued in this way, and after a few hours, the Goguryeo imperial city in the puppet Chang'an was surrounded by nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Sixth Rate.
