Originally, there was still a part of the soldiers in Jiangnan who were preparing to resist the attack of the Tang army, but this row of shells shot out, and this part of the army immediately became headless flies.

Many soldiers felt strange why the shells followed wherever they ran, but in fact he was wrong in this way, mainly because there were shells falling everywhere, so he felt that the shells were running with him.

50,000 soldiers were the first to cross the river, and on a seven-kilometer-long front, everyone spread across the river to minimize resonance.

Li Xiang stood on a high place, and saw the dense crowd of people crossing the river below, and the hegemony of the Tang Dynasty began from this, Tuyuhun or Tubo, it is our homeland, of course, this is based on the concept of people in the 21st century, only by crossing this river, that is the real territory.

"It's like a dream, our advance speed is really too fast, I thought that occupying the land of Jiangbei in a few months would already be a victory, but I didn't expect that we would now march towards Jiangnan."

Qin Huaiyu said a little incredulously, he also came up from behind, but the task of the pioneer had been handed over to others, so Qin Huaiyu could only follow Li Xiang honestly.

"There's nothing surprising about this, since the beginning of last year, everything has been decided, at that time our strategy was to weaken Goguryeo without limits, but I didn't expect that their domestic people also cooperated with us and pushed the battle to the highest, resulting in Jiangbei not having much combat effectiveness, otherwise we are still fighting hard, it can be seen that the war is not just military, but extends to many aspects."

General Li Jing touched his beard and said.

After the general's words were finished, everyone looked at Li Xiang with admiration and worked hard, and now it is finally time to harvest after two years, and from this time on, Goguryeo will follow the surname of Datang in the future.

Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang took their men to the south to cover and kill, when their war horses were transported, these two people took the lead and rushed all the way with their men, the Goguryeo army did not have any will at all, they only wanted to escape now, and when they heard the shouts of killing in the rear, these people threw their weapons and surrendered directly.

This is also a very normal thing, in the border army of Goguryeo, 60% of the people were forcibly pulled, they were just ordinary people in the border area, they didn't have a day of training, you let them fight on the battlefield now, they have no combat skills, and they don't have the will to fight, why don't they surrender?

What's more, in the hearts of these people, the Goguryeo court doesn't treat them as people, but only thinks about treating them as cannon fodder, how can they work for such a court, plus the prime minister and generals have fled, it is even more impossible to sell their lives.

At noon that day, the pursuing troops finally stopped, they received the latest order from Li Xiang, let them set up a defensive line on the spot, we have to take a good inventory of the occupied area, if we just advance to the south, it will not be of any benefit to us, after all, it is in other people's land, and the price of greed and recklessness is not small.

In just one morning, the Tang army charged for nearly fifty miles, during which the Tang army killed more than 19,000 Goguryeo troops, captured more than 84,000 people, and countless border people of various cattle.

Although there are still several lines of defense set up on the Goguryeo side, when the Tang army arrives, the people here have already run out, and they will follow the officials, and even the officials are not willing to resist, why should they resist? Many officials had already retreated south when they didn't see the Tang army.

"Why did you let us withdraw our troops? If I keep running, I guess I'll be able to kill the capital of Goguryeo when it gets dark today. ”

Niu Jinda rode back on a fast horse, he had never fought such a comfortable battle, and the soldiers under his command were also highly motivated, and they were like bamboos along the way, and they originally thought that the people of Goguryeo had to have some combat effectiveness, especially after entering their hinterland, but they didn't expect that there were starving ghosts everywhere here, and many people were skinny, not to mention resisting the Tang army, it seemed that it would take half of his strength to take a breath.

"You're patronizing the charge, you have to look at the situation behind us, how many prisoners there are around here, how many border people, how many captures, haven't been counted yet, if we continue to rush forward, in case we miss any organized resistance army, let them continue to develop within us?"

Hearing General Li Jing's words, Niu Jinda stood next to him and didn't dare to speak, the army is also a place where seniority is respected, in the entire army, Li Jing may be more self-disciplined than Niu Jinda, so when Li Jing spoke, Niu Jinda listened honestly like a primary school student.

In addition to taking an inventory of these things in the occupied areas, there is a more important matter, and that is to look at the attitude of Silla and Baekje, although Li Xiang wants to settle them together, if the two countries send envoys, Li Xiang is ready to take a more moderate attitude.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Xiang arranged more than 50,000 troops on the front line, and the rest of the people began to search back and forth in the occupied area, whether it was people or livestock, these must be registered, and some other mountains and forests that could not be entered, or Li Xiang, who might lose a lot of money after entering, ordered people to seal the mountain pass.

Maybe some people can live in the mountains, but most of them have never lived in the mountains, so they are very likely to run out, so let's wait at the exit to run out and catch one by one, as for the mountains, we won't go in for the time being.

Li Xiang also did this for a reason, there are still many enemies on the peninsula, and we don't have the strength to clear the rear, rather than sending a large number of soldiers into the mountains, it is better to surround them first, and then clean them up when we have time.

I don't know if I don't investigate, a survey can scare people to death, the population of Goguryeo is also quite large, now there are more than 1.3 million people plus soldiers, of which more than ninety percent of them have no food, so many people if they have to eat, it is by no means a small number.

"Why is it that the pressure of eating comes to us, and they don't eat when we don't come?"

Hearing the report of the people below, Niu Jinda was the first to be depressed......
