Chapter 557: The Decisive Battle of Pyongyang City (7)

"Kill! Kill all Tang Kou, kill, kill, kill! Yuan Nanjian, who led his troops to the east gate, saw that the Tang army had broken through the city, and he was in a hurry, roaring and galloping wildly, regardless of the existence of his own defeated soldiers in front of him, he led the vanguard cavalry to rush into the chaos of the army, and the horse lance in his hand was like flying, and all the people who stood in the way were killed one by one, and his momentum was as fierce as a mad tiger.

In fact, the soldiers and horses of the Yuan Nanjian Department are not much, that is, the number of five thousand, and the cavalry is even less, only more than 400 horses, compared to the Tang army of as many as 100,000 in the east gate, it is really insignificant, but the time of its appearance is very delicate, it can be said that it happened to hit the weakness of the Tang army - at this time, the Tang army just entered the city gate, because of the street, the army could not be deployed at all, and moreover, when it was chasing and killing the defeated soldiers, there was no formation at all, and the momentum was booming, and it was suddenly counterattacked, and it was caught off guard when it landed- The vanguard that rushed into the city was completely crushed by the surging enemy army in an instant, and in just one collision, more than 100 Tang officers and soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and the rest had to fight and retreat back to the vicinity of the city gate, desperately resisting the attack of the Goguryeo army with a wave of stronger than a wave, and at the same time, Yang Kaitai, who was defeated by the Tang army, took this opportunity to gather a lot of routs, followed by the Yuan Nan Construction Department, and also launched a counterattack towards the Tang army, so that the momentum of the Tang army's attack was blocked. It's even very difficult to defend the palace.

The main city gate changed hands again, and the surging Goguryeo army broke through the Tang army's blockade, and swarmed into the urn city, the battle situation has reached this point, the Tang army's originally good situation is in danger of being reversed, and at this time at this crisis, Xue Rengui, who was ordered to reinforce, finally led the cavalry army into the urn in time.

"Thieves are so daring!" Xue Rengui and Yan Eighteen yesterday to fight for the vanguard of the seal fell behind, today's battle has never been able to catch the battle, is holding a fire in his heart, at this time when he saw Yuan Nan Jian is killing the retreating Tang soldiers, he was furious, roared, the sound was like thunder, a flick of the crotch of the war horse, high speed towards Yuan Nan Jian rushed to kill the past.

"Ah......" Yuan Nan was in the midst of the chaos and suddenly saw Xue Rengui riding a horse to kill, although he didn't know what kind of person he was coming, but when he saw Xue Rengui's bright light armor and extremely strong figure, he knew that the person who came was definitely not a good type, so he didn't dare to slack off, swept away the chaotic soldiers, and the prancing horse crossed the spear to meet him, roared, and took the lead in stabbing a shot, directly taking Xue Rengui's chest.

Yuan Nanjian has a very high martial arts, this gun will go out, it can be described as extremely fierce, the gun starts, the gun wind is whistling, as fast as a lightning dragon, if you change others, I am afraid that you will be in a hurry, but it is a pity that he met Xue Rengui such a killing god, how can such a level be able to enter Xue Rengui's eyes, not waiting for Yuan Nanjian to reach the gun, the Fang Tian painting halberd in Xue Rengui's hand waved lightly, using a "flat hook", but listening to the "Qiang Ran" sound softly, it has hung the tip of Yuan Nanjian's gun, with a flick of his wrist, Fang Tian's painting halberd is a "goodbye" , Yuan Nanjian only felt a pain in the tiger's mouth, and the horse lance in his hand had been stopped flying.

Not good! Yuan Nanjian has always been conceited and strong in martial arts, but he didn't expect that the horse lance in his hand would be taken off as soon as he met him, and he knew that he was definitely not an opponent of the generals, how could he dare to fight again, and in shock, he kicked the belly of the war horse violently under his feet, trying to speed up through Xue Rengui's interception.

Yuan Nanjian's idea is good, how can Xue Rengui let him escape calmly, but listening to Xue Rengui roared, his right hand let go of Fang Tian's painting halberd, and with his left hand, he grabbed Yuan Nanjian's belt, and he actually slipped Yuan Nan Jiansheng up, shook his hand, and threw it heavily into the ground, making Yuan Nanjian dizzy, and before he came back to his senses, several Xue Rengui's personal soldiers had already killed him in front of him, and several horse lances were clamped, and Yuan Nan Jiansheng was captured.

"Major General!" "Save the Major General!" …… A group of Goguryeo officers and soldiers who killed into the urn city saw that Yuan Nanjian was captured, they were all anxious, and rushed over with shouts, trying to snatch Yuan Nanjian back, but they didn't want Xue Rengui to be fast, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand swept left and right, dancing like flying, killing all the Goguryeo officers and soldiers who dared to rush to the front one by one, killing the Goguryeo army for a while, and when they wanted to resist stubbornly, the Tang cavalry of the brigade had already swarmed and killed, and the defenders who rushed into the urn city were killed in embarrassment, and the initiative on the battlefield changed hands again, the general trend of the Goguryeo army has gone.

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Yang Kaitai, who had just led the remnants of the army to the battlefield again, saw the defeat of the former army, knew that there was nothing to do, and did not dare to fight again, so he led the remnants to turn around and run, trying to hide back in the inner city to resist again, but unexpectedly, his actions had already fallen in the eyes of Xue Rengui.

Seeing that Yang Kaitai was about to escape, Xue Rengui was unwilling to let go, put down the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, picked up the big iron bow, opened the bow and set up the arrow, and shot at Yang Kaitai, but when he heard the sound of a string, the arrow had accurately shot into Yang Kaitai's throat, and the unlucky Yang Kaitai didn't even have time to say a word, and he was already dead.

Yuan Nanjian has been captured, Yang Kaitai died like this again, the leaderless Goguryeo army completely collapsed, and the originally orderly retreat turned into a chaotic rout in an instant, and a group of Tang officers and soldiers would not let go of such a great opportunity to beat the water dogs, and they followed the rout into the city again, and went along the street to the inner city...... The east city gate has been broken, but the battle at the north city gate is still continuing fiercely, countless Tang and Xin alliance officers and soldiers continue to go to the city, one after another, the corpses on and under the city are all over the field, tragic - according to the original strategic deployment of the Tang army, this is just a feint, there is no need to be so desperate, but one Silla and Goguryeo are insoluble mortal enemies, the enemy is very red when they see each other, moreover, the previous Silla camp was attacked, the casualties were extremely serious, and Gao Quansheng, the perpetrator, was surrendered by the Tang army, and the Silla army could not be angry, This will be full of anger all vented to the city defenders, under the death order of Jin Chunqiu, at all costs to use the wave like siege method, more than 100,000 soldiers wave non-stop rushing to the city, the battle situation in a short period of time reached a white-hot state, so that the city defenders parried difficult, tired to deal with, casualties were extremely serious, even the main general Yuan boy was slightly injured - a stray arrow shot the left arm of the Yuan boy, fortunately the injury was not serious, after the hasty bandaging, the Yuan boy still stuck to the city, Commanding a group of subordinates to resist desperately, the battle was about to end, the situation was already extremely tight, the reserves in the hands of Yuan Nan were almost exhausted, and he had to send people to his own house to ask for help one after another, but unexpectedly, the help did not come, and the bad news came first - Dongcheng was lost, and the Tang army had rushed into the city! "What? Say it again! As soon as he heard such horrific news from the sentry detective, the Yuan boy was dumbfounded, and after being stunned for a while, he suddenly burst out, grabbed the sentry's corset, lifted it up, glared at him with a hideous face, and roared viciously.

"Less, young general, it's true, it's true, General Yang fought and died, the second young general was captured, and now his life and death are unknown, Tang and Tang Kou have entered the city in a big and big way."

The sentinel was already nervous, and when he was so frightened by the Yuan boy, he immediately trembled and stammered to repeat the shocking news again.

"Bastard, you dare to lie about the military situation and look for death!" In a rage, the boy lifted the sentry up, slammed it to the ground, and then slashed it with a knife, but when he heard a scream, the sentry had his head cut off, and his blood splattered away, and the huge human head bounced a few times on the city, and the bones rolled into the pile of corpses.

"Young General, the east gate is broken, and the outer city cannot be defended, so we still ......" A group of generals gathered around the Yuan boy saw that he killed the sentry with a knife, everyone felt a little cold in their necks, and they didn't dare to say more, let alone ask the truth, only the general who had a dispute with the Yuan boy earlier about whether to send troops to save Gao Quansheng stood up, and under the pressure of the Yuan boy's murderous gaze, he forcibly opened his mouth, trying to persuade one or two, but unexpectedly, he didn't wait for him to finish speaking, The Yuan boy waved his hand impatiently and said: "Wait for Hugh to listen to that spy nonsense, my Pyongyang city is impregnable, how can it be broken overnight, who dares to say a word again, that guy is an example!" Wang Yan, this general will lead his troops to hold on, and be sure to defeat the thieves to the city, and when will this general go to my father's mansion to send troops to help, and when will he not receive the order? "Yes, the last will obey."

The official level can crush people to death, not to mention the powerful people like the son of the Yuan family, compared to the generals who defend the city, the status is even more unattainable, just like that, although the general named Wang Yan knew that the Yuan boy was full of nonsense, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only bow down and obey the promise, and watched the Yuan boy leave in a hurry with his personal guards.

"General Wang, what should I do?" "General Wang, the city has been broken, how can we defend it?" "General Wang, you have an idea, I'll listen to your ......" "General Wang, this battle can't go on, you can think of a way."

…… When Yuan Nan was there, all the generals didn't dare to say much, and as soon as he left, all the generals couldn't hold back, and they didn't pay attention to the men who were fighting, and surrounded Wang Yan, shouting in a gossipy.

Wang Yan is just an ordinary general in the Goguryeo army, his reputation in the past is not obvious, and he himself has no outstanding military strategy, although he is old in the army, but unfortunately because of his upright personality, it has always been difficult to reuse, this time he was ordered to give a hand to the Yuan boys, and he was extremely dissatisfied with many of the measures of the Yuan boys. Thinking that in the case of such generals who have no desire to fight, they will not be able to withstand the fierce attack of the Tang Xin coalition army at all, and as soon as the fighting spirit in his heart is gone, he will not be willing to support the Yuan family anymore, so he looked around at the generals and said with a bitter face: "Since the Tang prince has said that he will only take Yuan Gai Suwen and not destroy my Goguryeo Guozuo, I think it is not a lie, and we are all Goguryeo generals, not the private army of the old thief of Yuan, how can we accompany the burial of the old dog of Yuan, that is, a certain decision to open the city and ask for surrender, can the princes have objections?" Faced with the stake of life and death, all the generals were silent and speechless, looking at each other for a long time, and finally a partial general came forward: "What General Wang said is very true, and there is no objection to everything, but it is up to General Wang to decide." ”

"Yes, we will obey General Wang's orders."

"General Wang, you just give the order."

…… Someone took the lead, and the generals who didn't want to die in vain followed one after another, and among the large group of generals, none of them had the courage to martyr the country, this situation made Wang Yan, who was upright and upright, see it in his eyes, bitter in his heart, closed his eyes boringly, waved his hand and said: "Order, erect a white flag, open the city, please surrender." ”

As soon as Wang Yan's words came out, the generals who did not have the slightest fighting spirit immediately scattered, and suddenly, a white flag rose at the head of the city, and there was a pause in the city head that was in full swing, and then, countless cheers rang out in the Tang Xin coalition army array, and with the opening of the north city gate, the north city fell into the control of the Tang Xin coalition army, and more than 100,000 Tang Xin alliance troops roared into Pyongyang City, and spread along the long street to the strategic points in the city...... The battle to defend the city is heavy on the city wall, this is not a lie, once the city defense is broken through, the destruction of the defenders in the city is inevitable - with the east city was broken by the Tang army, and the surrender of the north city, the defenders of the west and south gates no longer have the heart to resist, and then completely collapsed, the entire outer city was soon overwhelmed by the surging Tang army, except for the inner city within a radius of only a few miles, the fire in all parts of the city has subsided, only some small-scale sporadic battles occur on the streets from time to time, obviously, These daring to resist the Goguryeo army without exception were all swept away by the Tang army one by one, to noon Zhengpai, the huge outer city has completely fallen into the control of the Tang army, nearly 100,000 Tang troops then lined up under the inner city wall, surrounded on all sides, ready to enter a new round of siege warfare, the final battle is about to break out, in the tranquility of this faction, the Tang army suddenly erupted in a burst of cheers, the crowd surged, the Tang prince Li Zhen has been surrounded by a large group of senior generals to the front.

Listening to the heartfelt cheers of the armies, and seeing the faces of the soldiers filled with unadulterated reverence, Rao is Li Zhen has long been accustomed to all kinds of victories, but his face still can't help showing a happy smile, it's not easy, more than half a year of the campaign is finally coming to an end, although this road can be described as a success, it seems to be smooth, but the hardships are only clear to Li Zhen himself, for this war, Li Zhen has been planning for more than two years, how many times sleepless deduction, How many times do you not know how to eat, isn't all this for today's victory, although the inner city has not yet been breached at this time, there are still nearly 30,000 defenders on it, but for the powerful Tang army, it is just some local chickens and dogs, it is really embarrassing, victory is within reach! "Your Highness, all the armies are ready to stop, and I respectfully ask Your Highness to make a holy decision."

As soon as he saw Li Zhen appear in front of the battle, Li Ji, the deputy marshal in charge of commanding the armies, hurriedly rushed to the front, bowed and saluted, and asked in a respectful tone.

"Hmm."

Li Zhen raised his hand noncommittally, signaling Li Ji to be exempt, but his eyes fell on the city gate tower, only glanced at it, and immediately found Yuangai Suwen surrounded by a large group of guards in the chaotic army, looking at his iron blue face, Li Zhen's face showed a sneering smile, waved his hand, and coldly ordered: "Siege!" Li Zhenzhi's order, the terrible horn sounded immediately, the battle began, the first to launch is the trebuchet troops arrayed under the city - although there are some open spaces around the inner city, but it can never accommodate too many troops to gather, let alone the trebuchet troops that need huge space, for this reason, as soon as the Tang army controls the outer city, the Silla army came forward, drove the people around the inner city, forcibly demolished the houses, and built a wide no-man's land in the city, of course, this move is not only due to the needs of the war, but also deliberately deepened the consideration of the feud between the Goguryeo people and Silla, which is the proper meaning of the post-war deployment, but there is no need to say - the trebuchets in the Tang army array are extremely powerful, under the first round of launch, more than 200 trebuchets roared, and more than 200 fire oil bombs were smashed into the city, only in an instant, the city head was ignited with a sky-high fire, burning the defenders wolf rushing, screaming again and again, but there was nowhere to escape, there were not a few defenders who were burned alive, and the situation was so miserable that the Tang army under the city saw it, The second and third waves of attacks of the Tang army's trebuchets were all aimed at the city, and the fire ignited in the city in an instant. But it also caused the defenders in the city to be in chaos, and the morale of the army had completely collapsed before the defense was weak.

"Father, the fire is too big, I can't hold it, go quickly, the child will cover your breakthrough!" In the smoke and fire at the head of the city, the Yuan boy couldn't stand it anymore, seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, he was anxious to rush to Yuan Gai Suwen's side, and hurriedly shouted.

Yuan Gai Suwen had heard about the Tang Army's fire and oil bombs before, but he never thought that the power of the fire oil bombs would be so great, and he didn't expect that the Tang Army would launch so many fire and oil bombs together, although under the cover of a group of guards, he was not affected, but seeing the fire rising from the city, everyone was in a mess, and he knew that the city was undefendable, and he was disheartened, and he had already sprouted the will to die. As soon as he pulled out the treasure knife from his waist, he was about to wipe it off his neck.

"Father, no!" "Father!" As soon as they saw that Yuan Gai Suwen was going to kill himself, Yuan Boy and Yuan Boy were shocked, and each exclaimed, one hugged his hand, one grabbed the sword, and he was busy, and finally pulled Yuan Gai Suwen, no matter how he struggled, the brothers set it up, led a group of soldiers to rush down the city gate, each turned over and got on his horse, and ordered his subordinates to push open the city gate that had already been roasted by the fire, and rushed out of the city desperately through the smoke-filled city gate hole, trying to fight a way out of the city under the siege of the Tang army.

As soon as a group of Goguryeo officers and soldiers rushed out of the inner city, they heard a terrible horn sounded in the Tang army's formation, and a burst of gunfire exploded violently, and the dense bullets like flying locusts flew in all directions, weaving a net of death, and all the Goguryeo officers and soldiers who fell into the net were shot to the ground like straw in the autumn wind.

Killing, endless killing, bloody and terrifying, under such a fierce blow, all the struggles of the Goguryeo officers and soldiers were in vain, all the courage was just a joke, at this time, the Goguryeo defenders who could not escape and could not escape, and there was no way out except for surrender, there was no other way out, and in less than three moments, the war stopped, Pyongyang City was successfully conquered by the Tang army, and the third battle between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, which lasted for more than half a year, ended, and the Tang and Xin coalition forces suffered nearly 6,000 casualties. wiped out more than 100,000 defenders in the city, Yuangai Suwen and his son were all captured, the treasure king led his ministers to surrender, and a tumor in the Tang frontier was completely uprooted......
