Chapter 837: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
Outside Dengzhou City, Li Jing touched his silver beard and nodded, his face showed a look of satisfaction, although the fire burned Dengzhou and burned 50,000 people to death, which was a loss of peace, but for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, it had to be so.
"Under martial law, you can't let go of a person, especially Yuangai Suwen, you must not let him escape, otherwise it will become a disaster." Li Jing looked around and said: "Especially on the side of Dengzhou Port, we can't let a Goguryeo soldier board the ship, we don't have a sailor here, once the enemy gets on the ship, it is equivalent to a dragon entering the sea, we can't find the other party's location at all, tell Wang Junkuo, if you leave Yuangai Suwen, this general will be severely punished." ”
"I think General Wang Junkuo also knows the importance of this matter, now that our army has an advantage, the army is outside, and Dengzhou is surrounded, even if Yuangai Suwen has wings, he can't leave, the general can rest assured." Liang Shuokuan said warmly.
"Your Majesty has a saying, you can't let go of an enemy, and so are we, Dengzhou City is ready, but the enemy is cunning, and it may not be impossible to escape." Li Jing shook his head and said, "This time, we can calculate Yuan Gai Suwen, but we won't know in the future." ”
Yuangai Suwen was in endless regret at this time, he knew that the enemy had laid a net at this time, and he was afraid that even if he was killed, he would not come to Dengzhou.
"General, the city is on fire, and the enemy is afraid that there is an ambush outside, so we must gather all our forces to rush out of the city gate." Fu Huilin said loudly: "Now that the four city gates are in our hands, we only need to open a passage and return to the big ship." ”
"How many people are left now?" Yuangai Suwen glanced at his side, and felt miserable in his heart, he didn't expect that there were only more than 100 personal soldiers on the left and right, how could he rush out of the city gate.
"General, there is not a single citizen in Dengzhou City today, so many soldiers live in private houses." Fu Huilin lowered his head and said. Although the barracks are very safe, they are not as comfortable as private houses, so it is not surprising that many soldiers live in private houses. It's a pity that what Yuangai Suwen didn't expect was that Li Jing actually burned Dengzhou at this time, trapping 50,000 troops in it, and the fire was blazing.
"Drums! Gather the three armies" Yuangai Suwen glanced around and said to the soldiers beside him: "Go, tear down all the surrounding houses." In this way, the fire on our side will not be able to burn on our side. "Yuangai Suwen still knows a little knowledge, and he knows that at this time, he must not panic, and he knows that before the fire in the city disappears, Li Jing's army will not enter the city, and if he wants to get out of the city, he must gather the army, so that he can rush out.
Really. With a crackling sound, all the buildings around the mansion were torn down, revealing a school field hundreds of steps in size, although it was a fire. But it still takes a certain amount of time for the fire to burn, which also gives Yuangai Suwen time to prepare.
The rumbling of war drums gave the Goguryeo soldiers who were running around the city of Dengju in the direction and concentrated on the side of the castle guard. But when it was time for tea, I saw thousands of soldiers with crooked armor and black faces rushing over. Standing on the flat ground, his face still showing a panicked look.
"General, I'm afraid that's all there is." Fu Huilin said in a low voice.
The fire is raging, and some places may not have burned yet, but it has divided Dengzhou City into several pieces, and it is so difficult to break through, and it is already very good to be able to gather thousands of people.
"East Gate, attack." Yuangai Suwen felt a pain in his heart, he suddenly took off the armor on his body, rode a black war horse, led thousands of soldiers and horses, and killed him towards the east gate. Along the way, there were a lot of soldiers to join in, simply Dengzhou City was renovated well, the streets were very spacious, although there were houses on both sides of the street that were already on fire, and the smoke was billowing out, but unfortunately, outside, although it was very hot, the Goguryeo soldiers still followed behind Yuangai Suwen and quickly rushed out.
"General, there is an enemy interception outside." When they arrived at the east gate, the captain guarding the gate hurriedly greeted him.
"There are a lot of people outside, so rushing over together at this time will disrupt their formation first." Yuangai Suwen and Fu Huilin glanced at each other, and without thinking about it, they ordered someone to open the city gate, and then thousands of soldiers rushed up, and in the crowd, Fu Huilin and Yuangai Suwen were close together. At this time, no words are nothing, and saving your life is the most important thing.
Wang Junkuo outside the city held a big knife in his hand, rode on a horse, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers behind him, staring at Dengzhou City in front of him, in fact, he didn't attach much importance to this task, even if someone rushed out, what could he do, after being burned for a while, he was already exhausted, where did he still have the strength to duel with himself.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first." At the gate of the city, Yuangai Suwen and Fu Huilin saw Wang Junkuo holding a big knife, the two glanced at each other, and fiercely commanded the army to rush out. The two of them even aimed at Wang Junkuo, wanting to kill Wang Junkuo first to win the opportunity to escape.
"It's really like what the general said, I really want to kill back to the camp of the water division." Wang Junkuo saw the city gate open, and countless soldiers rushed out, his eyes lit up, and the archers who were ready shot the long arrows in their hands one after another, and the screams on the opposite side were repeated, and dozens of people were shot and killed at once, but there were still many soldiers rushing out.
There is a chance to live in front of them, how can these people give up? Coupled with the personal command of Yuangai Suwen and Fu Huilin, the morale of the army was high, and a swarm of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty were killed.
"The clown who jumped off the beam dared to be presumptuous in front of this general." Wang Junkuo was angry and laughed in his heart, looking at the two people who rushed over, Yuan Gai Suwen and Fu Huilin, and greeted them with a big knife in his hand, but he soon found that something was wrong.
Yuangai Suwen held two golden knives in his hand, and held Wang Junkuo's big knife, Wang Junkuo also felt the strength of the other party, and when he was about to change his move, there was a gust of cold wind around him, and he saw a sharp sword stabbing out from the back of Yuangai Suwen, stabbing straight to his heart, which made people unguardable. Wang Junkuo's complexion changed greatly.
The long knife in his hand was pushed back with the power of the golden knife, and there was a sound of gold and iron in front of him, and the chain mail on his body was actually pulled out, revealing the brocade robe inside. The frightened Wang Junkuo's face was pale, if he hadn't been witty just now, I was afraid that he would have been disemboweled. A cold sweat ran down his forehead.
"Again." Yuangai Suwen knew that the opportunity was rare, where would he let go of this opportunity, so he saw his right hand raised, and a golden light shot towards Wang Junkuo's head again, behind him, Fu Huilin's left hand stretched out, and the sleeve arrow shot out from his arm, and through the firelight, he could see a blue patch.
"Not good." Wang Junkuo was shocked when he saw it, he didn't expect that Yuan Gai Suwen and Fu Huilin would join forces, and they would actually have this move, where would they dare to resist, and quickly rolled off the saddle. Rao was still hit in the helmet by a golden knife, and when he dismounted, his hair was scattered.
"Ahh Blood came out of his shoulder, and Wang Junkuo knew that something was wrong, so he quickly rolled around with a lazy donkey and hid in the chaos.
"It's a pity." Fu Huilin looked at the blood on the tip of the sword, and when he came to find Wang Junkuo again, he found that Wang Junkuo had disappeared into the chaos, and he felt a pity in his heart. I almost killed the opponent just now.
"Let's go, get out of here." Yuan Gai Suwen didn't dare to expand the results of the battle anymore, and hurriedly and Fu Huilin and the two of them fought into the chaotic army, and thousands of Goguryeo soldiers behind him saw that Yuan Gai Suwen had already injured Wang Junkuo, and the army's morale was greatly boosted, and they also followed closely behind, rose their last strength, rushed into the Tang Army, and actually broke out of the encirclement. Soon escaped.
By the time Li Jing led the army to arrive, the scene was already a mess, the Tang army and the Goguryeo soldiers were mixed together, and Wang Junkuo was pale and supported by two soldiers.
"Tie up Wang Junkuo, pull him down, and behead him." Li Jing's face was gloomy, and he looked at Wang Junkuo with a cold snort, a big battle, and when it came to the end, he was actually run away by the enemy's general, no wonder Li Jing was dissatisfied in his heart.
"The general is angry." Liang Shuo hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General, although General Wang has some mistakes, his crimes are not to death. No one would have thought that General Goguryeo was so fierce, and General Wang's martial arts could also be ranked in the forefront of my Tang Dynasty, and he was actually injured, which shows the heroism of the enemy. ”
"General, the last general also thinks that although General Wang is at fault, it is also excusable, please let the general be lenient." Guo Xiaoke and others will come forward to intercede.
"General, we didn't burn each other to death with a fire, I think God gave the other party a glimmer of life, although General Wang has some mistakes, it is better to let him make meritorious contributions, when the court is employing people, there is one less general, and it is also a loss for the court!" Liang Shuo hurriedly said.
"Since you are pleading, this general will exempt you from the death penalty, but the capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and you will be demoted to a partial general, listen to it before the tent, and after the injury is healed, you will receive twenty military sticks, do you have any opinions?" Li Jing snorted coldly.
"The last general, thank you for the general's grace not to kill." Where does Wang Junkuo have any opinions, it is already a great luck in misfortune to pick up a life by himself, and he quickly thanked Li Jing.
"Clean up, immediately cross the Yellow River, enter Guandu, and besiege Li Shimin." Li Jing looked at Dengzhou in the distance, Dengzhou was still in a flame, there were faint bursts of screams, and he sighed deeply, he could see that there were very few Goguryeo soldiers who could escape from Dengzhou, the 50,000 troops brought by Yuangai Suwen, less than 12 out of 10 people went back, Liaodong was the weakest time at this time, but unfortunately, the imperial army was dealing with Li Zhao, otherwise, this time was the best time to attack Goguryeo.
