When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they cheered in unison, and even the footsteps of the troops crossing the bridge became more cheerful, and they waved their horsewhips, pointed to the city gate, and said: "Everyone, our feat today will forever be recorded in the annals of history, come, come with me to protect the children into the city, and we will meet again in Gao Yuan's palace!" ”

In the corner of Goguryeo's city wall, Eulji Moondeok's cold and glistening eyes flashed out of a half-human-high battlement, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned back to the guards behind him and said, "Everything is going according to plan!" ”

Laihu'er rode a tall horse and rushed into the city gate, two thousand ironclad hoplites, lined up on both sides of the road in front of him, which was several miles long and five zhang wide, these are the troops that Laihu'er has personally trained for many years, well-trained, loyal and reliable, so Laihu'er also has full self-confidence, even if there are a large number of Goguryeo ambushes in this city, these guards will definitely be able to protect their own safety.

It's just that Laihu'er saw the houses on both sides of the road, but the doors and windows of every house were closed, these Goguryeo houses were mostly earthen made, unlike the cities of the Central Plains, where every household had a small courtyard, here is almost a house and a house, which are listed on both sides of the avenue, and I don't know if there are people in the house.

Laihu'er's brows furrowed, and he ordered a sergeant on the side of the road: "Open the door of this house to Ben Shuai." ”

The sergeant bowed slightly, and kicked open the door with his three companions, only to see that the tables and chairs in this house were scattered, the cupboards and chests were opened, the clothes were scattered all over the floor, and there were even a few bowls of cold food on the table, and it seemed that the owner of this house had left in a hurry, and had not even had time to pack up his things and left, or to run for his life.

Laihu'er nodded, and asked the other soldiers to open the other ones. It's also roughly the same, these people of Goguryeo, it seems that they didn't have time to arrange their families when they left, so they left in a hurry, and they didn't know where they were now.

A dozen sergeants escorted a man about fifty years old, short and stocky. The Goguryeo man wearing a white top hat walked over, and the leading sergeant saw that he came to Hu'er, and hurriedly saluted: "Yu Dashuai, this person is the Fang Zheng of this place, can speak Chinese, and was caught by our army in front, and he is specially brought to Dashuai for interrogation." ”

Laihu'er nodded, looked at the fat man of Goguryeo, and said, "You can speak Chinese?" ”

The fat man of Goguryeo hurriedly nodded and said, "Return to the army." The military master, the small, the small one once did business with the Great Sui, can speak, can speak Chinese. ”

Lai Hu'er smiled: "I heard that you are the Fang Zheng here?" Why, do you Goguryeo people also set up workshops in this city like my Great Sui? ”

The fat man wiped the beads of sweat from his head and said, "Yes." Everything we do in Goguryeo is a replica of the Heavenly Empire. This Pyongyang is our capital, and like the former Chang'an City and Luoyang City, there are various squares for people of different identities to live in, as if this is the neighborhood of ordinary good people. And in the center of the city are Miyagi and Baiguanfang. ”

Lai Hu'er nodded: "What's your name, and which fang is it?" ”

The fat man replied: "The little Cui Shiyuan is the Fang Zheng of Liushunfang in the west of the city. ”

Laihu'er said softly: "Cui Shiyuan, what's going on in this city." Why not resist and collapse without a fight? Your Pyongyang city looks like it has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, where have all the people gone? Also, you ordinary people, are obviously in a hurry, but you have to close the doors and windows, why? ”

Cui Shiyuan smiled bitterly and said: "General, you are the Heavenly Empire, and all the heavenly soldiers and generals who come here are the Heavenly Soldiers, how can we be a small country in Goguryeo, how can we attack the Heavenly Army?" Since knowing the news of the landing of the army in Nanjinpu, the defenders in the city have fled a lot, and our king Gao Yuan, who has insufficient troops in his hands, forcibly grabbed these people in the city and suburbs to join the army, mixed with tens of thousands of troops who were still loyal to him, and cobbled together 100,000 troops, so that the king's brother Gao Jian led to meet the heavenly army. ”

Lai Hu'er nodded: "No wonder the formation of the Goguryeo Army's Gao Jian Department is so strange, you go on." ”

Cui Shiyuan continued: "After most of the army was taken away by Gao Jian, there were only a few thousand soldiers left in the city, Gao Yuan was afraid that these thousands of people would not be able to control the situation, and he was afraid that the soldiers on the front line would flee, so he ordered the families of these soldiers to be taken care of in the palace. ”

"After Gao Yuan arrested people, he ordered the doors and windows of these places to be closed, and the people in the city could only stay at home and not go out of the city, but I didn't expect the news to come three days ago, saying that the army in Nanjinpu was defeated, Gao Jian died in battle, the army collapsed, and only more than 40,000 of the 100,000 people fled back, and what is even worse is that Gao Yuan's Imperial Forest Army is almost all dead, and no one can suppress the troops who fled back."

Lai Hu'er said with a smile: "So Gao Yuan let these sergeants who fled back to defend outside the city, or go up to the city wall to defend, and are not allowed to enter the inner city, so as not to see the situation in their own homes, right?" ”

Cui Shiyuan hurriedly replied: "General Gao Jian, it's just that we only know today that last night, Gao Yuan ran away overnight, and now the dragons in the city have no leader, and the soldiers defending the city are no longer restrained, and they have all fled, and only those sergeants outside the city and on the city wall don't know the situation, and they are still working for Gao Yuan." ”

Laihu'er laughed, the last trace of vigilance in his heart was also lowered, and he raised his horsewhip and said, "That Goguryeo's palace city, is it also undefended?" ”

Cui Shiyuan had a flattering smile on his face: "Exactly, now there are no people in the city who dare to resist stubbornly, most of them have already escaped from the south gate in the morning, even those who are still hiding in the city do not dare to come out to resist." The power of the heavenly army is well known to everyone in the country, and even the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall also say that the heavenly army is all descended from the gods and invincible, and it is not what we can do. ”

Lai Hu'er had a satisfied smile on his face: "You are right, but you are also aware of current affairs, if Gao Yuan has your knowledge, he will come and surrender early, and he will not let so many soldiers and civilians in the two countries be killed and injured, no matter what, since you have fallen into our hands, it can be regarded as fate, Cui Fangzheng, now this Shuai will give you a chance to live, and you can even enjoy glory and wealth, you have to take advantage of it." ”

Cui Shiyuan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Everything small is up to the general." ”

Lai Hu'er said with a smile: "You lead the way in front and lead our army to that palace city, after the matter is completed, this commander will be rewarded!" (To be continued......)
