Chapter 1321: Surrender is the best option
Looking at the frightened expressions of those people on the city wall, Wei Chi Gong directly shouted loudly: "Listen to the general of Liaodong City, this general is the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, the Shangzhu State, the right Wuhou General Wei Chi Jingde, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty ordered you to open the city and surrender immediately!" β
"The Tang Army treats prisoners preferentially! You and I are originally of the same origin, but if you are still obsessed and go all the way to the dark, don't blame me for being ruthless! β
Yu Chi Jingde's words made many generals on the city wall change their faces slightly, of course they have heard of Wei Chi Jingde and other reputations, that is the general of the Tang Dynasty, I didn't expect that this black man with a gray beard in front of him is, the shadow of the famous tree, how can they still maintain calm.
Especially the loud bang, the chaotic shouts in the city behind him were still coming, and these soldiers on the city wall were still in shock at the moment.
"General Wei Chi, we need to think about it." Sun Daiyin was silent for a moment, and then spoke loudly.
"Give you time to wait for a stick of incense." Wei Chi Jingde directly left a sentence and patted the horse away.
Looking at the figure of Wei Chi Jingde in the distance, Sun Daiyin said directly: "Go, please General Zhao and several other officials come here quickly." In addition, the soldiers at the breach of the city wall were ordered to stay put. β
"Yes!"
The herald took the order and left, but Sun Daiyin silently observed the formation of Datang.
When the Tang Dynasty was preparing to attack, and at this moment, their forward troops were at most more than a hundred steps away from the city wall, and it was only at this time that Sun Daiyin saw clearly the more numerous bed crossbows hidden in the Tang camp.
These bolts are not as big as the large bed crossbows, but they are definitely much larger than regular military crossbows.
The number of medium-bed crossbows was even denser, just behind the three rows of archers behind the front shieldmen.
And the pots of arrows next to them are not as many as dozens of them.
What's more, Sun Daiyin found at least a dozen shield cars of that kind in Datang's queue, and no one knew how many things below would be able to burst out with that kind of power.
If these things were sent to the base of the city wall, they couldn't stop them at all, they had already tried.
Zhao Wu and the others quickly rushed here, and after they came over, Sun Daiyin didn't greet them at all, nor did he talk nonsense, but directly looked at these people and said, "Everyone, I am ready to surrender, I don't know what your opinion is?" β
"General Sun, you are the supreme governor of Liaodong City, so we naturally obey your orders." The other official spoke directly without hesitation, he was frightened.
Datang's methods have exceeded their imagination, but the sturdy city wall has been destroyed directly like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and now there are 100,000 Datang troops outside, what can they resist?
If you have to resist, there is only one end, death.
"General Sun, we don't care, but there are still tens of thousands of people in this city, and there are 20,000 soldiers on this city wall, and now Datang has destroyed our city wall in an instant by unknown means, if it continues, it will annoy Datang, I'm afraid there will be nothing left in this city." Another general spoke.
"General Sun, you can give the order directly." Zhao Wu is too lazy to talk nonsense, he has already seen the current situation, no one wants to die in a mortal situation, none of these people can talk about being loyal to the country.
Especially when they are facing Datang.
After all, many people in Goguryeo were originally Han Chinese, how loyal do you expect them to be to Goguryeo?
was able to resist the former Sui at the beginning, and that was also because the former Sui was really pulling his hips, and the Central Plains at that time was also a poor livelihood and had no future.
But the current Datang is different, especially when Datang will not kill them all, so how to choose is very simple.
"I see. I'll be left alone with this charge. Sun Daiyin was also dry, he nodded directly.
After all, as the main general, he can't run away from this responsibility no matter what, so Sun Daiyin didn't make any excuses.
After getting the consent of these people, Sun Daiyin spoke directly: "Herald." β
"General." The herald in the distance ran quickly.
"Now order all the soldiers to lay down their arms, open all the city gates, and surrender to the Tang Dynasty." Sun Daiyin directly gave an order, and after saying that, he did not hesitate to untie the sword at his waist directly, and then threw it on the city wall.
Several heralds were stunned for a moment, then silently did not say anything, but quickly began to run in both directions.
Several generals who were following Sun Daiyin also dropped the arrows in their hands.
The soldiers not far away looked at each other, and then silently lowered the spears inside to the ground, and all this quickly began to spread from the current city gate in all directions.
Li Shiji and others in the distance were happy when they saw this scene.
I didn't expect this battle to be so easy, and the other party really surrendered.
"Herald! The strikers entered the city as fast as they could, controlled all the main roads, ordered no one to harass the people, and strictly forbade anyone to beat, insult, and abuse the captives if they did not resist. β
"Yes!"
Soon, the Tang cavalry outside the city took the lead in rushing to the city gate, and Sun Daiyin naturally didn't have any tricks, allowing the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to quickly enter the city, and then began to control every corner of the entire Liaodong City.
Li Shiji did not enter the city, and the entire Liaodong City was temporarily handed over to the 5,000 Tang troops led by the forward general Cheng Huailiang, and all the captured soldiers had left Liaodong City and were temporarily imprisoned in the military camp outside the city.
Li Shiji's first sight was naturally Zhao Wu, "General Zhao, this time Liaodong City can be taken, you should take the first credit, I will definitely show Your Majesty, Your Highness will ask for merit for you." β
After Li Shiji saw Zhao Wu, he immediately took two quick steps, greeted him, and held the other party's arm that wanted to salute with both hands.
"I'm ashamed, I just did something insignificant, or Datang's army is too strong, so Sun Daiyin and they don't want to resist." Zhao Wu said with some shame.
"Hahaha, General Zhao's words are also bad, if there is no intelligence from General Zhao, our army will naturally not be able to formulate relevant strategies. But after all, it is a good thing to take Liaodong City, come and let me introduce these generals to General Zhao......" Li Shiji pulled Zhao Wu and said very enthusiastically.
He knew very well the importance of these people, so Li Shiji didn't recommend holding them up, because without them, Datang would indeed have to go through a lot of procedures.
Now with them, the Tang Dynasty has taken Goguryeo, which can really be said to be twice the result with half the effort.
And Liaodong City, which is the main military city, was taken, which means that other cities on the entire Liaodong front line are nothing to worry about!
