Su Dingfang's eyes were very accurate, the city wall had collapsed just now, but this guy didn't give an order immediately, he knew that there was still a lot of boiling oil on the city wall, and this boiling oil had to be burned out, otherwise we would have to suffer when we passed, so it was delayed by about a cup of tea.

Li Xiang didn't care about the rest of the things except for the order to open fire, because this kind of siege battle was not what he was good at, so he had to hand it over to professionals, Su Dingfang had been studying this for a long time, if he couldn't do it, then I'm afraid no one present would be able to handle it.

Eight thousand cavalry rushed out in an instant, although the speed of these cavalry charges is very fast, but in the process of charging they are also obeyed by the command, and they do not rush up in a swarm, the soldiers riding in front of them are holding bows and arrows in their hands, and when they are about to grow, they still put arrows on the top of the city wall.

Many people also know that there can't be too many people alive on the city wall, and this is also to buy insurance for themselves, in case there is a survivor among the ten people, our wave of bows and arrows can also send this survivor to the Hades Palace, which is also to save our own lives.

"The whole army advances."

Su Dingfang's people have not rushed in, Li Xiang has already ordered the rest of the people to go forward, there is really no surprise in this battle, Li Xiang also ordered the demolition troops to go over, their task is to blow up the city gate, Su Dingfang's assault troops can also rush in from the gap, we don't need to go through the gap, or to blow up the city gate, we enter the city gate generously.

There are still some battles on the city wall, after our soldiers rushed over, there were still hundreds of people on the city wall who insisted on fighting, but some of them were wounded, and some people couldn't even find their own weapons, in the shelling just now, the souls of these people were frightened, and when the Tang army rushed in from the gap on horseback, they only mechanically held weapons to resist the effect can be seen.

Just when Su Dingfang's people took the city wall, a huge explosion also came, and the demolition team under Li Xiang had already blown the city gate open, even if the army on the city wall was still intact, it was not difficult for Li Xiang to siege the city.

A large number of infantry rushed in from the city gate, plus the Taishou of Baiyan City has been blown up, although there are still a lot of young and strong men in the city, but they do not have a unified command, many people only know how to shout and scream, of course, in the chaos of shouting and screaming, they will soon lose their lives, you might as well honestly find a place to lie down, after the battle, I will give you a chance to be a slave.

"Kick out all the people of the city."

Two hours later, the Tang army occupied Baiyan City, and Li Xiang also sent people to report the victory to the capital.

Originally, there were about 50,000 people in this city, but later due to the war, most of them retreated to the south of the Datong River with the army, and there were only more than 17,000 people in the whole city, and many of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.

"How many people were in that army back then?"

When Li Xiang asked this, many people hadn't understood it, but some people soon understood.

"Back to the commander, there were more than 3,500 wounded soldiers in our army back then."

It's normal to die on the battlefield, and if you catch our wounded and sick and have to be beheaded, that's what you people are not right.

"Launch four thousand people to be decapitated."

After Li Xiang's words were finished, the crowd next to him wailed, and they also understood the meaning of Li Xiang's words, Li Xiang was like a god at this moment, directly deciding the life and death of their four thousand people.

War is inherently cruel, and if we hadn't taken the city so easily today, then we might have studied how to attack again, and maybe we'd have lost 4,000 people at that time, so killing these people in the city doesn't have any psychological burden for us.

"Dashuai, there are so many people left."

Su Dingfang pointed to the crowd in the distance and said, do you want to kill them all? If Li Xiang gave this order, then the rest of these people would also swing their knives, who made the hatred between us reach this level.

"Except for the young men and women, the rest let them go."

To everyone's surprise, Li Xiang actually gave such an order, how could we let them go if we finally wanted to drive them out of the city?

"What does this mean, big handsome?"

Su Dingfang didn't understand Li Xiang's thoughts for a while, and if he let them go, wouldn't these people just run south, and it would very likely become a resistance to our attack in the future.

"You are not qualified as a general, you are indeed a good hand at fighting, but you have to calculate when you should calculate, what I want to let go is a part of the old, weak, sick and disabled, they can't bring us much profit, I can't kill them all with one sword, after letting them go, they will return to Goguryeo, these people can't have much effect, but Goguryeo still has to feed them with food."

Li Xiang didn't speak loudly, but the generals around him heard it clearly, and when they heard Li Xiang's words, these people all nodded in unison, many of their relatives are south of the Datong River, and these people must have to eat and sleep after they pass, which also weakens Goguryeo's comprehensive national strength in disguise.

"And what about the young ones?"

In addition to the old and weak and the sick who had just been killed, there were more than 4,000 young men and women left.

"Follow the rules to become an official slave."

After Li Xiang's words were finished, these people under his command were also very happy, this is the prisoner they captured, although there is no way to distribute it now, but after the end of the war, all the combatants have the right of first choice, some people are poor, and they can't marry a daughter-in-law, it's not bad to find a Goguryeo woman, as long as they can pass on the lineage, as for those men, of course, they are sold to the rich as slaves, you can get whatever you want, as long as you give the money.

"Walk, walk, walk......"

His Royal Highness Taisun gave an order, and his soldiers waved the whips in their hands, you guys are now our prisoners, if you don't obey well, you will be white knives in and red knives out at any time, there is no preferential treatment of prisoners in this era, as long as you enter the prisoner camp, your life is not as valuable as a dog......
