Chapter 100: The Destruction of the Kingdom (I)

Matsugaku Castle, the royal palace.

The bow descendant pointed to Shen Chongqian, who was covered in blood and kneeling in the main hall and kept pleading, his teeth trembled and his whole body trembled, because the amplitude was too large and the movements were too strong, and the majestic and gorgeous royal robe he wore on his body "The water ripples".

The bow descendant felt like a boulder in his chest, like a fish in his throat, and many words were not spit out, and his lips trembled for a while, but he could not say a word.

He reacted so much, half anger, half fear.

This is naturally because Pei Xuanqing and Shin Chongqian fought unfavorably, not to mention the loss of Pyongyang City, and the most elite army of 300,000 Goguryeo was also lost. And the performance of the Tang army in this battle was said by Shen Chongqian to be like a demon god descending into the world and a heavenly soldier descending to earth, which made the bow descendant's chest feel tight, and he just wanted to vomit blood.

"Say! Did you secretly surrender to the Tang Dynasty, colluded with the Tang Army, plotted against Pei Xuanqing, and betrayed the soldiers of the three armies?!" Gong descendant stepped in front of Shen Chongqian in a few steps, grabbed the other party's neck and lifted it up, and asked with a distorted facial features and a hideous expression.

"The King...... Why do you say this?" Shen Chongqian's cultivation was suppressed, and soon his face turned purple and his breath was difficult.

"If it weren't for this, how could this king's 300,000 elites in a hundred battles be defeated by a mere 100,000 Tang troops in half a day?

The bow descendant's eyes were scarlet, his eyeballs seemed to disappear, his hair was dancing wildly, and his aura was raging in Shenzhou, setting off gusts of wind. As if he had fallen into a demon, he poured Shen Chongqian into the ground, smashing out a big pit and dusty air.

He still couldn't understand his hatred, and his movements never stopped, Shen Chongqian became a puppet in his hands, and he fell left and right, blasting out deep pits on the ground. The rubble shot out, and the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs all suffered from the pond fish, splashed with blood, and flew out one after another screaming.

While the Gong descendant was abusing and killing Shen Chongqian, his mouth kept letting out a beast-like roar: "You traitor, for the sake of glory and wealth, you dare to destroy the king's country, this king will definitely destroy your soul!"

"This king was born in a royal family, he has extraordinary talent since he was a child, and now he has cultivated to a high level, his fierce generals are like clouds, good ministers are like rain, and he has been in Goguryeo for nearly ten years, and he is destined to become a generation of heroes, you bastard, how dare you break the hard work of this king?!"

The guards of the monks in the palace rushed to hear the movement, and when they saw the bow descendants with their clothes dancing wildly and their eyes red, they all trembled and did not dare to act rashly.

As for the first civil official of Later Goguryeo in the other party's hands, his bones and tendons were broken, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he was completely dehumanized, like a freshly cut pork chop, bloody.

Shen Chongqian faced the siege of the Tang Army in Pyongyang City, and with great effort, he broke out of the siege in the realm of nine deaths and one life, and kept running back to the royal capital for half a moment to report the military situation on the front line, but now he ended up like this, which is really miserable.

I don't know how long it took, the bow descendant finally stopped, and he lost the head in his hand - Shen Chongqian had been broken into countless pieces of flesh, scattered all over the hall, blood was splashed everywhere, and only one human head was still intact.

Now the head is rolling to the side, just as the facial features are facing upward, the seven orifices are bleeding, and the look of horror and panic is still frozen.

The bow descendant's anger subsided slightly, but the red color in his eyes did not subside, and he walked back and forth in the temple with his head down, as if he was looking for his father's killer.

At the end, he roared outside the palace gate: "Order, all the soldiers of the royal capital are assembled, and this king will personally go out to fight with Li Ye's fight!"

After the order was given, the Bow Spawn began to pace the temple again, his mouth not stopping

He muttered: "I am the king of Later Goryeo, I have hundreds of thousands of troops and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains! I have the luck of the atmosphere, and I am a traitor, how can I do a big thing?"

"I want to unify the three kingdoms, ascend the throne and become emperor, and establish unprecedented achievements! I want to be honored for a hundred generations, be praised by future generations, and enjoy supreme power! How can I be defeated?!"

After capturing the city of Pyongyang, the army only took a short rest, and then crossed the Taedong River and continued to march southward, and the army advanced to Songyue, the king of Goguryeo.

Although the territory of the peninsula is not large, there are many cities, and Li Ye only brought 100,000 troops, so he was not interested in stragglers to capture various prefectures and counties.

The Goguryeo Fortress, which was blocking the way of the army, did not react to Li Ye's expectations, and either ran away from the wind or fell from the wind.

Of course, there are also two chief officers and guards who are not afraid of death, who sacrificed their lives to go to the country, and tried their lives to stop the Tang army for a while.

The result is naturally self-evident, the weapons of mass destruction in the army were not used, and the great monks in the accompanying army easily destroyed the opponent's city defense and fighting spirit.

The territory of Later Goguryeo is equivalent to a feudal town in the Tang Dynasty, although the city has a larger population and stronger strength, but in front of the 100,000 Tang army today, this degree of strength can be ignored.

Originally, Li Ye expected that before arriving at Songyue, he would no longer encounter strong resistance, and even if he arrived at Songyue, the Bow Descendants would be defending the city, and it would be good to be able to resist and not surrender.

What he didn't expect was that the army was still fifty miles away from Songyue, and the scout monk actually reported that the Bow Descendants had come over with more than 200,000 troops.

"Within sixty miles between the two armies, there is no Xiongguan Tianqian and Jiancheng Fortress, can the Gong Descendants still want to fight with our army in the field?" Zhao Poyu was surprised when he heard the scout's report.

To be honest, Li Ye didn't know what the other party was thinking. It is still extremely difficult for more than 200,000 Goryeo troops to defend the city, and now the other party takes the initiative to meet the army in the wilderness, what is the difference between sending it to death?

Li Ye didn't think that anyone liked to die, and he didn't think that the Gong Descendant, as the head of a country, would lose his mind and do so. This doesn't make sense. The only reasonable explanation is that the other party has other plans and other plans.

"What exactly does the Bow Descendant want?" Li Ye fell into deep thought.

The terrain and cities of Goryeo are all in his mind, including the garrison situation and strength of the troops in various places, which have long been collected by the Tsing Yi Yamen, and they are also in his mind.

Now the only problem that the army has not solved is that it has advanced all the way, and the counties and towns of the left and right prefectures have not been divided into troops to capture. Could it be that the Bow Descendants plan to mobilize the inhabitants of the whole country to swarm from all sides, and the ants bite the elephants to death?

In normal circumstances, this situation would not have happened, but at the moment it is absolutely impossible. If the ant colony wants to bite the elephant to death, it must be able to entangle the elephant, but now the 100,000 army is unstoppable, and neither the Xiongguan nor the enemy army can prevent the army from directly crushing the past.

Moreover, there were many great monks with the army, all of whom were monitoring the situation in various places on both wings, and Li Ye did not hear their reports, saying that there were Goryeo troops gathering and attacking in all directions - the Goryeo soldiers and civilians on the left and right not only did not surround them, but the city gates were closed and they cowered in it.

"Or is there a strange soldier hidden by the Bow Descendants, who can threaten the grain road in the rear of our army?" Li Ye kept deducing the battle situation, and finally could only think of this possibility.

This time, the army went out to fight, and in terms of the situation of using troops, there was a suspicion that the lone army went deep. In addition, it only occupied the city on one road along the way, and did not clear the flanks, if Goryeo really hid a surprise army in advance, it could indeed sneak attack the army's grain route.

But this

It is only a matter of reason, and there is no practical possibility at all.

The territory of post-Goguryeo is less than a thousand miles apart from the north and south, and Pyongyang City, an important town in the north, is north of the Taedong River, which is equivalent to "lonely hanging outside the fortress", and the city is 100 miles northeast of the city, which is the control range of the Bohai State.

In this case, it was impossible for the Goryeo army to attack Pyongyang City, and even if they wanted to, with the defenders of Pyongyang City left by Li Ye, they would not be able to succeed.

As long as Pyongyang City is not lost, no matter where the strange army that may or may not exist appears, and where it appears in the rear of the army, the new cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army in Pyongyang City and the new cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army following the army will definitely be able to kill within two days once they are dispatched.

With the speed and physique of the fierce beast war horse, this strange army will not appear, and once it appears, it will inevitably be hunted down and killed quickly.

Moreover, there are also great monks guarding the grain route along the way.

Therefore, although the Tang Army went deep alone and did not clean up the flanks, Li Ye was not worried about what problems would occur in the rear.

So the question is, what exactly does the Bow Spawn plan to do?

Li Ye thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of anything that the Gong descendants could rely on.

"The order is down, the great monks will go out in groups, day and night to probe the flanks and flanks of the army, and if there is a Goryeo army, it must be reported in time!" Li Ye did not let the army postpone the trip.

The Grand Monks can also avoid being hunted and killed sporadically, anyway, the territory of Goryeo is so large, and there are many Grand Monks in the army, which is enough to supervise everywhere.

Two days later, in the morning, the army met with the Goryeo army led by the Bow Descendants in a gentle hilly area.

The two sides were five miles away from each other, and then the Gong descendants actually took the initiative to attack, Li Ye did not hesitate at all, and ordered the army to give the other party a head-on attack.

The course of the battle was lackluster.

First of all, the monks of the two sides caught each other in mid-air, and the monks of the Tang Dynasty quickly defeated the Goryeo monks by virtue of their numerical and realm advantages and obtained air supremacy.

Then, with the cooperation of the great monks, the infantry army rushed forward, and the two sides did not meet each other, and the magic weapon in the Tang army, the strong bow and crossbow, took the lead, and several rounds of salvos went down, and the Goryeo army in front of the various large and small military formations was in front of the front, all of them suffered heavy casualties and were in chaos.

The Tang army's foot soldiers relied on the advantage of the armor soldiers, took advantage of the situation to attack, and soon rushed into the Goryeo army formations everywhere, opened their bows left and right, and quickly captured one mountain bag after another.

The new cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army was divided into dozens of units, attacking from the flanks, cooperating with the infantry soldiers, dividing and encircling the hills controlled by the Goryeo army, and annihilating them one by one.

The battle lasted only two hours, and the Goryeo army was already strewn with corpses and rivers of blood. The battle situation was not fundamentally different from that of Pyongyang City, it was a one-sided massacre, and the Goryeo army could not even defend it.

Three hours later, the Goryeo army was completely defeated, and the soldiers abandoned their armor and fled.

By this time, the monks had not yet noticed any signs of the Goryeo soldiers and civilians flocking within a radius of 100 miles. The great monk in the rear of the army reported to Li Ye once in an hour, and he did not find any Goryeo soldiers.

By the end of the afternoon, the situation had become that the Tang army was chasing and killing Goryeo soldiers all over the mountains.

Before dusk, the Tang army won a great victory, and Zhao Poyu personally captured the descendants of the Later Goryeo king.

Looking at the soldiers who returned to the camp, Li Ye touched his chin, but he still didn't understand what it meant that the Gong descendants led the army to take the initiative to fight. Seeing that Zhao Poyu brought the Gong descendant back, Li Ye decided to ask in person.

After meeting the Bow Descendant, Li Ye finally understood why the other party would take the initiative to attack.
