Chapter 1143: Killing After the War

Gao Jianwu was as frightened as a lost dog, anxious like a fish that had slipped through the net, and only led more than 100 guards, abandoned Pyongyang to seize the road, and fled northward, he did not choose to go west, because Yuan Taizuo was in that direction.

Behind him, there are still thousands of defenders in the city, lost their command, and are in a mess, some of them are uplifted and put into the defense battle, some of them have abandoned their swords and guns, taken off their military uniforms, and stood against the wall, and even more of them took the opportunity to make trouble, ran into the homes of the people in the city, burned, killed and looted, and wantonly did evil.

Wang Junlin knew that he brought too few people to besiege the city, so it would be difficult to leave Gao Jianwu behind, so he sent Li Xuanba with a thousand people to hunt down Gao Jianwu, so he no longer cared about Gao Jianwu.

After Wang Junlin led the cavalry into the city, he immediately divided the troops into various places according to the strategy drawn up in advance, controlled all the key points in the city, took over the city defense, occupied the palace and various yamen, warehouses, and controlled the main roads.

Then Wang Junlin led the main force to the barracks of the palace guards in the city, directly blocking a large number of soldiers in the barracks. Although the camp gate was closed in time, the leaderless Pyongyang soldiers looked in horror at the Sui Dynasty cavalry gathering more and more outside the camp, not knowing what to do.

Several Goguryeo ministers and generals gathered together and formed a temporary command structure to discuss how to face the immediate crisis, which was actually nothing more than two paths: surrender or die in battle. It is more hopeful to expect this thin camp gate and wooden fence to block the wolf-like Sui cavalry, than to expect the sow to go up the tree.

At this time, Wang Junlin had about 3,000 mobile troops available at this time, and most of the troops were used to control the city defense and various important institutions, and at this time, in the military camp opposite him, there were still more than 2,000 Pyongyang defenders, and if these soldiers were brave enough to fight a battle, Wang Junlin would really have to fight hard.

Wang Junlin did not wait long, and the matter was unexpectedly resolved easily———— more than 2,000 Pyongyang defenders decided to surrender.

Half an hour later, more than 2,000 people in the military camp in Pyongyang City were disarmed and imprisoned by Wang Junlin. Then Wang Junlin quickly organized a security team and deployed to restore order in the city.

At this point, Pyongyang completely fell into the hands of Wang Junlin.

………

………

Because Yuan Taizuo has transferred most of the defenders in Pyongyang to the maximum, and was sent by Gao Jianwu to reinforce Annam County a few days ago, the capital of Goguryeo can almost be called an empty city, and the huge city has only more than 3,000 defenders, as well as some official servants and guards in some powerful families.

Zhang Tiangang was covered in blood, rode his horse in front of Wang Junlin, and smirked at him.

Wang Junlin glanced him up and down, showing an appreciative gaze, and said with a smile: "Are you hurt?" What are the casualties of your brothers in the special operations team? ”

"Hui Yu, my lord, I was not injured, and nearly half of the two hundred brothers below were killed and injured, and the specific number has not yet had time to be settled."

"In this battle, your special combat team has made the first contribution, tell the people below, and after you go back, you will naturally be rewarded for your merits." Wang Junlin nodded and said.

"Humble duty understands." Hearing the word 'Shougong', Zhang Tiangang was excited. Since landing on the border of Goguryeo in Nanyangzhai, Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, and Wei Chi Jingde have made great contributions, and he has always been extremely envious. Until the past few days, he led the special combat team to make two great achievements, one was in the battle of the Heishui Gorge, capturing Li Guangshun alive, but the greatest credit was to capture the city of Pyongyang.

Raising his eyes to look at the city with fires everywhere, as well as the buildings and people with exotic flavors everywhere, Wang Junlin's heart suddenly stirred, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, is now owned by us, but we will retreat after staying here for two days at most." ”

Zhang Tiangang couldn't help but ask, "Why is this?" ”

Wang Junlin said: "The original plan was to take this city for three purposes, first, to strongly deter the Goguryeo people, so that they would not be arrogant because they defeated the main force led by His Majesty the Emperor, so that they would naturally act cautiously when they sent troops to attack the Annan Kingdom we had established. ”

"Secondly, after the news spreads, the hundreds of thousands of Sui soldiers who fled into the deep mountains and old forests of Goguryeo will naturally try every means to flee to the Annan Kingdom under our control. Goguryeo is not large, no matter how Yuan Taizuo sends people to surround it, in the end, many Sui soldiers will flee to Annan, not to mention that I have already asked her to arrange for Guo'er to respond, these veterans of a hundred battles will be our biggest gain. ”

"In the end, it's all about the money. In the next step, the number of troops under our control will skyrocket, just the domestic business and the maritime business that Yang Kongcian is responsible for are far from enough to raise troops, and the tax revenue of Fanyang County still has to be given to the imperial court, as for Annan, it can feed back, but it will not be too much. Half of the wealth of Goguryeo has accumulated in this Pyongyang city, and we can not kill the people in the palace and the major aristocratic families, as long as we don't resist, we can not kill them, but we will take all their money away, and bring this money back, which is enough for us to raise an army of 100,000 for several years. ”

……

……

In this way, the capital of Goguryeo was breached by Wang Junlin with 10,000 light cavalry, and the process was unexpected, and the result was expected.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. When Yuan Taizuo poured all his troops into the country to pursue the remnants of the defeated generals of the hundreds of thousands of Sui troops who could not escape back, besieged the city of Liaodong, and tried to make his exploits perfect, Wang Junlin not only unexpectedly attacked the county town of Annam, but also directly attacked the capital of Goguryeo, and there were 10,000 cavalry.

The 10,000 cavalry placed on the main battlefield of the Great Sui and Goguryeo in the west a few days ago was like a dead leaf falling into a pond, and there was not a trace of ripples. According to the normal logical behavior of the commanders, no one would take such a risk and use only 10,000 people to attack the enemy's capital, something that they would not dare to think of, but Wang Junlin did it, and it was successful.

The Sui army entered the city, and the city of Pyongyang soon burned out everywhere, whether it was a residence or an official office, it became a target in the eyes of the Sui army, and the Goguryeo defenders in Pyongyang City were at least 100,000, but because Yuan Taizuo mobilized all the soldiers of the whole country to go to the western front, the defenders in Pyongyang City were only more than 3,000, plus a small number of official servants and guards guarding the palace, etc., Wang Junlin led 10,000 cavalry into the city and rushed into the sheepfold like a tiger and wolf, and almost did not encounter decent resistance, The people of the city fled in terror in the fire, screaming and wailing.

How can war be merciful, only the people who suffer and are killed, and in front of the armoured and sword-clad army, the people have no choice but to flee in a hurry.

"Eliminate the remnants of the enemy as soon as possible, and if there are any people in the city who resist, kill them on the spot! But it is commanded that no one shall kill innocent people indiscriminately, and do the slaughter of the city. Wang Junlin ordered in a deep voice.

Wang Junlin rode on the blood-maned horse, looked at the sky-high fires that were rising everywhere in the city, and thought of the 6,000 Sui cavalry gathered by Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba, and couldn't help but be a little worried. These 6,000 people must have monstrous hatred and endless murderous aura in their hearts, and if they are left unchecked, these 6,000 people are estimated to kill all the Goguryeo people in the city, and of course the women in the city will definitely suffer.

"Wei Chi Jingde, immediately take your people to occupy the palace!" Wang Junlin ordered, thought about it, and added: "Open the palace treasury, and all the valuable things are packed and tied up, ready to be taken away." ”

Wei Chi Jingde grinned, clenched his fists and left.

What followed was the ruthless killing, whether it was a guard or an inner attendant, a palace maid, Wei Chi Jingde led people into the palace, as long as they did not immediately squat down and surrender, they would be killed directly, but the guards were killed regardless of whether they surrendered or not.

It's just that the treasury in the palace is not as much as expected, after all, although Gao Jianwu is not a puppet, he does not control the entire country, and in order to deal with the conquest of the Sui Dynasty's army, he spent too much money.

It is impossible for Yuan Taizuo to spend only the property under his control, and leave too much money to Gao Jianwu, but there are many treasured cultural relics, calligraphy, paintings, antiques and other things left in the palace by the successive lords of Goguryeo.

After the palace was ransacked, the next target was the Yuan Taizuo Mansion, which was a hundred steps away from the palace.

Gao Jianwu obviously did it on purpose, he never sent someone to inform the people in the Yuan Mansion from the beginning, let alone send someone to protect the people in the Yuan Mansion to escape.

Therefore, the people in the Yuan Mansion were one step too late and failed to escape from the city.

Luo Shixin led people to kill all the guards and male servants of the Yuan clan, and then according to Wang Junlin's orders, all the more than 20 descendants of the Yuan clan were arrested.

Yuan Taizuo's mansion is not smaller than the palace of Goguryeo, and the wealth is even greater than the palace, Luo Shixin led people to search for it and harvested a lot, only this mansion, rich and rival the country, can almost be regarded as a small treasury.

Luo Shixin led thousands of people to carry it for more than two hours, and then all the valuable treasures and money in Yuan Taizuo's mansion were swept away, leaving behind furniture and utensils and other things that could not be taken away, and Luo Shixin burned them all in one fire.

And the other nobles, wealthy merchants, and officials in the city did not let go, and those who resisted killed and robbed all the money, and those who did not resist did not kill, but they also robbed all the money.

Although Wang Junlin had ordered, the soldiers who killed the red eye, especially the 6,000 Sui soldiers collected by Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba in the later period, had much worse military records, how many innocent people in the city were killed, how many civilian families were looted, and even how many Goguryeo women were raped, it was impossible to make specific statistics, and this kind of thing was not generally stopped until Wang Junlin ordered the beheading of more than 20 Sui cavalry.

War is such a rule, at this time, if it is a normal general, it will no longer control the beastly nature of the Sui army's soldiers, so they can only turn a blind eye and let the Sui soldiers do all the evil things in the capital of the enemy country. But King's Landing is different after all.
