Chapter 379: Surrender

Kim Eun, the general of Goguryeo's city defense, also heard the shouts on the city wall at this moment, and he now has only more than 20,000 people under his command.

The more than 100,000 troops facing the Tang army entering the city were bound to lose, and after listening to Tang Jun's words at this moment, he actually hesitated a little.

Originally, he thought that the Tang army would not enter the city with many people, because they were still in the city, and it was night, as long as they held the city gate and the city wall until dawn tomorrow, the army would enter.

He just waited for this opportunity in the evening, but he didn't expect Li Tao to let the remaining sixty or seventy thousand people in his hands enter the city.

Together with tens of thousands of people in the north and south, there are more than 100,000 people in total.

"General, the spies just came to report that there are at least 50,000 people at the west gate of the Tang army, and they have not entered the city, they are all at the city wall and the city gate, as well as in the urn city."

"Well, it seems that it is impossible to do it." Kim said with a frown.

"General, the shouting of the people from the Tang Dynasty just now made many of our soldiers a little commotion." The adjutant general reported.

They have been here for almost two years, and the soldiers have not had enough to eat in the past six months, and the soldiers all have families, how can they not worry about their parents, wives and children at home.

Although the Treasure King promised them that he would treat his family well, they did not know whether his family was alive or dead in this time of war.

Now that the Datang people have said that they are here to save the people, they actually want their families to be able to get help from the Tang Dynasty.

ยทโ€œ Tell the soldiers that the wolf sons of the Tang Dynasty are ambitious and sanctimonious, and they want to occupy our Goguryeo and will not treat them well. โ€

Hearing this news, Jin Eun suddenly felt a little bad in his heart, and now he has begun to feel unstable.

Datang's shouting has never stopped, this person is tired of shouting, and he shouts with another person, moving with affection and knowing with reason.

Some are aimed at soldiers, think about their families, think about themselves, how beautiful life is, etc.,

Some are aimed at the people in the city, saying that the Tang Dynasty is good, and finally summing up a sentence, if the defenders of Goguryeo surrender as soon as possible, the Tang army will be able to distribute food to them as soon as possible.

And Li Shen came up with an idea to cook meat on the city wall, anyway, after a day's battle, he should also reward the soldiers.

Cooking meat in three directions suddenly made the meat in the city overflowing, not to mention the people, even Datang's own soldiers began to drool after smelling it.

Especially when you are hungry, the feeling is ten times exaggerated.

And the translator began to shout again, saying that as long as you surrender, you will have food,

"The general is not good, we have a team of people missing, almost two hundred people, will it be surrendered." Just when Kim also endured the smell of meat, the deputy general came to report in a hurry.

"What did you say?" Jin En was taken aback, this Tang Army is really powerful.

"Report~~~~ We have a squad at the gate of the city and surrendered." The spies came running quickly.

"Sure enough, it's not good, the herald immediately assembles at the east gate and breaks through from the east gate." Kim was shocked when he heard this, and now the army was already disheartened, and if anyone knew about the surrender, the army would be about to collapse.

And just as Kim was heading towards the east gate, it was exactly what he expected.

When the group came to the west gate, they were spotted by the soldiers on the city wall and raised the alarm.

These people raised their weapons and shouted surrender and walked over slowly, and after Li Tao and Qiu Xiaozhong came out, they summoned the translator to learn that the other party had surrendered.

So he asked the translator to shout, put his weapon on the side of the road, and walked over.

The men laid down their weapons, raised their hands, and walked over under the watchful eye of the rows of archers on the city walls.

When the translator asked, he found out that these people had not eaten enough here for a long time, and they were low-level officers and soldiers who only had one meal of porridge a day.

As soon as Li Tao's eyes rolled, he immediately arranged for them to eat on the city wall, making cakes in broth, and a small piece of meat.

But if you have the conditions, you have to shout on the city wall, so that other Goguryeo soldiers know that when you come, you can eat meat, drink soup and cakes.

These people immediately nodded in agreement, and they all surrendered anyway, and there was nothing else to promise.

So when Kim had not gone far, they heard their soldiers shouting.

"Brothers, Datang really gave us something to eat, as well as meat, and the broth cake tube is enough to eat. We can't win, they have more than 200,000 people, don't send them to death in vain. โ€

About 200 people took turns shouting, others were eating with their lives, they fought for most of the day, there was no food at all, and many people cried while eating.

In this way, when Kim En arrived at the east gate, there were more than 3,000 people missing. Fortunately, he made a quick decision and immediately retreated.

After Li Tao and Qiu Xiaozhong arranged for the captives to enter the urn city, they also knew from them that Jin En was preparing to escape from the east gate.

"Report ~~~~~"

A long whistle sounded outside the tent. Then a herald ran in.

"Report to the generalissimo, General Li reported that the enemy wants to escape from the east gate, and asks if to pursue."

"Tell General Li that the enemy army will block the east gate as soon as they leave the city, occupy the city wall, and prevent the enemy from escaping back into the city." Li Chengqian gave the order.

After the herald left, Li Chengqian laughed and said;

"Uncle Huang, as you expected, they really want to escape at night, Uncle Huang is really powerful."

"Yes, Uncle Huang is really clever," Li Shen also echoed.

"The generalissimo is falsely praised." Li Daozong replied with a smile. In front of the juniors, he installed an X.

It turned out that at nightfall, Li Daozong told Li Chengqian that the enemy army was likely to flee from the east gate, and the reason was very simple, Li Tao had brought all the soldiers and horses into the city, and the few remaining enemy troops had no chance to fight back.

So Li Chengqian ordered the remaining 50,000 Tang cavalry and 30,000 Khitan cavalry, a total of 80,000 cavalry, to ambush near the east gate.

130,000 cavalry charge you more than 20,000 infantry, that's not the same as playing, you want to run? Even if three people chase one, there is still something left.

Li Chengqian ordered the east gate to be blocked, just because he was afraid that they would run back to the city.

Wu Liluo's east gate slowly opened, and then the door of the urn city also slowly opened, and Jin En took 20,000 people out of the city quietly in the night.

Kim sat on his horse and looked back at the city they had been guarding for almost two years, and his heart was mixed.

"General, let's go, if we are discovered, we will not be able to leave." The adjutant general also glanced at Wu Liluo and said to Jin.

"Let's go." Kim took one last look, then turned away.

Less than two miles after he walked out, countless torches suddenly lit up all around.

The Goguryeo soldiers rioted,

"General, there are cavalry of the Don Army on all sides, and we are surrounded."

Jin En is not blind, of course, he saw that at a distance of 100 zhang around them, there were all cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, and the number of torches was more than them.

"General, what should we do, kill them?"

Kim sat on his horse and looked at his soldiers, Kim knew that they were very afraid, and the infantry was naturally weak when it met the cavalry.

He looked at the Tang army around him again, and he actually saw a lot of Khitans in their clothes. These are peoples, so to speak, who live on horseback.

In the end, Kim En sighed and said helplessly and unwillingly;

"Order, the whole army should throw away their weapons and surrender."

(This paragraph is a bit general, and it was revised later, at first I wrote Goguryeo very tragically, and finally had no choice but to surrender, I don't know why, is it because I am from the Northeast?) ๏ผ‰
