Chapter Twenty-Four: The Capture of the City

Li Yin and the other 400 soldiers, like tigers descending from the mountain, wantonly slaughtered, and the hundreds of Goryeo soldiers near the city gate were slaughtered because they were in a hurry to meet the battle, and they had little resistance at all.

But their fight had apparently caught the attention of the other defenders in the city, who were hurrying towards it.

The city gate of the humble city was very heavy, and after Li Yin asked someone to take away a few iron rods that were on the city gate, he asked more than 20 people to push it together, and finally pushed the city gate open with difficulty.

A soldier lit the torch, walked outside the city gate and raised the torch, and after shaking it a few times in a certain pattern, everyone seemed to feel a shaking of the ground, and thousands of troops who had been waiting for a long time rushed straight to the city gate.

Li Yin shouted with a solemn expression: "Prepare for battle!" ”

At this time, many Goryeo soldiers who came to support shouted loudly and fiercely attacked the city gate, wanting to regain the city gate.

Li Yin raised his sword and led people to meet him, and the two sides immediately fought each other, and in an instant, a burst of flesh and blood flew sideways.

At this moment when either you die or I die, the most important test is the soldier's combat skills, every blow can not have the slightest drag, the slightest hesitation, is the death of the dead.

Li Yin and the others stuck to the city gate, no matter how crazy the Goryeo soldiers attacked, they could not force them to retreat, but the price was that in this short period of time, more than 50 of the 400 elite soldiers had been killed and wounded.

But the price was worth it, because the few cavalry of the Sui army finally rushed to the front at this time.

"Dodge both sides!" Li Yin shouted, and then flashed to the side with everyone, and the cavalry rushed in like the wind, knocking the few Goryeo soldiers who didn't have time to react directly into the air.

With the addition of cavalry, the situation was reversed in an instant, and the morale of the Goryeo soldiers also plummeted, and they retreated one after another, and the two sides fought for a while, and the main infantry of the Sui army also rushed into the city like a flood, and the Goryeo soldiers fled backwards.

Seeing this, Li Yin knew that the outcome had been decided, and this humble city belonged to their Great Sui.

……

After the Sui Dynasty sailors occupied the city of Beiluxury, they immediately discussed their exploits, and Li Yin led his troops to win the first merit of this battle with the merit of seizing the door, and after informing the whole army, among the tens of thousands of sailors, no one did not know Li Jialang.

Because this battle was very important and had an impact on the entire situation of attacking Goryeo, Laihu'er wrote a detailed battle report, and together with the merit book, he sent it to Zhuojun Tianzi for 800 li.

As a famous general in the world, although he doesn't look at Li Yin very well, he will not do anything to hide the merits of the soldiers, so in this merit book, the first place is still Li Yin.

Because the casualties in this battle were too large, the tens of thousands of troops of the Great Sui Naval Division rested here for more than ten days, and then after leaving the garrison, they continued to set sail and sweep away other Goryeo strongholds on the sea.

Li Yin did not set off with the army, because in the battle to capture the Humble City, he was somehow stabbed in the back, leaving a lot of blood, and his injuries were quite serious, and he had not fully recovered until now, so he could only lead his troops to continue to stay in this Humble City.

He is still young, his body is recovering quite quickly, and after more than ten days, there is basically no major problem.

Just when Li Yin was about to return to the team and make some more achievements, the deputy head manager Zhou Fashang sent someone to find him.

After Li Yin learned that Zhou Fashang was looking for him, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, and secretly thought: "This old man, what do you want me to do difficult things?" ”

At the same time, Li Yin also learned that most of the Goryeo naval strongholds were wiped out by the Sui Dynasty army at this time, and Zhou Fashang led the leading troops to return to Donglai to rest and recuperate before passing through the city of Beiluxe.

Li Yin followed the people to the City Lord's Mansion in the Humble City, this mansion was seriously destroyed a month ago, and now it is only half repaired.

After entering the mansion and seeing Zhou Fashang, Zhou Fashang didn't say a word, but still gave Li Yin a portrait, a few road seals, land property certificates and a bunch of miscellaneous things.

Li Yin asked confusedly, "What are these things?" What to do for me? ”

Zhou Fashang bowed his head and replied: "The person on the portrait is the son of a wealthy Goryeo merchant who was killed a few days ago, and I want you to pretend to be this person and sneak into Pyongyang City to find out the information of Goryeo." ”

After Li Yintong, he shook his head like a rattle, "I can't do this, what I'm good at is battlefield fighting, what is the material to be an undercover agent?" You'd better be smart! ”

Zhou Fashang put down the official document in his hand and said solemnly: "This is the result of the study and decision of the generals and generals, do you want to disobey the military order?" ”

Li Yin wanted to cry for a while, so he had to say: "Gou ...... Ahem, how can you do that? There is no respect for our personal wishes at all! ”

Zhou Fashang ignored Li Yin, who was full of complaints, and gave him a bunch of paperwork, "This is the detailed information of that guy, you take your time on the road, let's go now, I have arranged a ship for you." ”

Li Yin had no choice but to leave the City Lord's Mansion with a helpless face, and after saying goodbye to Zhou An and others, he set off for Pyongyang as an undercover agent.

……

Pyongyang, the capital of Goryeo, the ancient name of Wang Xiancheng, is the former capital of the Jizi Dynasty, its city is six miles from east to west, the northwest is bent by the mountains, and the southeast faces the Hunshui River (now the Datong River), the climate is pleasant, the land is fertile, and it is the economic, political and cultural center of the Goryeo Kingdom.

The Pyongyang Imperial Palace in Goryeo is completely incomparable with the Imperial Palace in the Sui capital in terms of scale, and at most it is a little larger than Yang Guang's ordinary palace.

At this time, in one of the largest palaces of the Goryeo Imperial Palace, the king of Goryeo and the king of Infant Yang, Gao Yuan, sat at the top, his brows were furrowed, and sitting below Gao Yuan was Gao Yuan's younger brother, Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu, and then there were more than ten steps, and under the steps, there were general civil and military ministers.

Wenchen was headed by Yuan Taizuo, who held the post of Mo Lizhi, and the military generals were headed by the general Yizhi Wende, who had outstanding military achievements.

Gao Yuan opened his mouth at this time: "The tyrant sent someone to make us surrender again, and his attitude is very tough, how do you think the Qing family should deal with it?" ”

It was now close to mid-October, and at the beginning of September, the Great Sui had already completed preparations for war and was ready to fight at any time, so Yang Guang gave Gao Yuan an ultimatum and asked him to surrender by himself.

Because Goryeo was fighting on its own soil, although it had already prepared for war, it wanted to delay the war until the cold winter, which was the most favorable time for Goryeo.

In the land of Liaodong, every year in June and July is the continuous rainy season, also known as the rainy season, from August and September to February and March of the following year, it is the freezing period, of which December is the coldest month, dripping into ice, extremely good defense.
