After the attack on Pyongyang, the Fifth Left Army searched for the remnants of the enemy every day for several days, collected money, and counted the ordnance, grain and grass in the treasury.

Break through the enemy capital and capture the king of thieves alive.

The whole army is like the New Year.

Pyongyang, as the capital of Goguryeo, which was founded for 700 years, is also known as Little Chang'an, with a large population and a large city. The population of Pyongyang and its surrounding 100 miles exceeds 300,000, and even if you exclude the large number of troops stationed in the vicinity of Pyongyang in peacetime, and the population of the acropolis and villages outside the city, the population of Pyongyang still exceeds 100,000.

Outside the Great Sui in the Central Plains, a city can have a population of 100,000, and there is only one city in Pyongyang to the east of the entire Great Sui.

With 700 years of accumulation, the capital city of Pyongyang is indeed very rich.

After all, although Goguryeo is located in the northeast, there are both the Liaohe Plain and several plains of the Korean Peninsula, especially after they defeated Baekje and Silla, they successively captured several grain-producing plains with pleasant climate and fertile land, such as the Han River Plain.

There were also a large number of Goguryeo nobles' mansions and treasury in Pyongyang, and the booty obtained by the Luo family army from them was even several times that of the Pyongyang palace official treasury.

"Have you contacted Hu'er?"

The Left Fifth Army still has a lot of harvest every day, Wang Ziming and a group of soldiers are busy with their feet on the ground, they can't win food, and they use several large boxes to register the account books of money and materials.

And Luo Cheng's requirement for them is to announce the seized income in a timely manner every day, and to make a large number of rewards to be announced to the soldiers, even if it can't be divided for the time being, but everyone has to know how much they can share in the account, and they have to know in their hearts.

It was precisely because of the daily announcement of the seizures that the enthusiasm of the brothers was very high.

After Pyongyang was conquered, another big advantage was that there were a lot of supplies in the city, everyone ate well every day, not to mention the meat tubes, and there were fresh vegetables and fruits every day, not to mention that in this hot summer, finally there was no need to sleep in the wild to be bitten by mosquitoes and exposed to the sun during the day.

It's just that while the brothers below are happy, the generals above the Fifth Army on the Left are a little unhappy.

It's been five days since the attack on Pyongyang, and Laihu'er has not yet been contacted.

And to the north, there is constant bad news.

The Eighth Army, which fled to the north, was not able to escape easily, first the Xin Shixiong Hall of the Third Army of the Left Army was surrounded, the soldiers were defeated and died, and the Third Army of the Left was defeated. Then Yu Zhongwen organized the palace to block the enemy more than a dozen times, but they were all defeated.

After the armies had fled for several days, they ran out of food.

So the most difficult time came, and many soldiers had to kill their horses to feed their hunger. But without a horse, there is no way to escape.

Yalu Riverside.

The Goguryeo army on the west bank of the Yalu River, such as the domestic and black bones, blocked the Yalu River, blocking the enemy in front and pursuing troops in the rear.

Yuwenshu's left army, which originally fled at the front, was attacked by the ambushed black bone army when crossing the river, and the left army suffered heavy casualties, more than 30,000 people, and only Yuwenshu escaped across the Yalu River with more than 2,000 horsemen.

Nearly half of the First Left Army was killed in the first battle, and more than 10,000 people were captured.

The other armies were also blocked in the east of the Yalu River.

Several armies of Goguryeo troops and horses converged, especially when Hou Mo Chen Yi and Feng Xiaoci broke through and fled to Daxing City with more than 6,000 men and horses.

As many as 150,000 or 60,000 Goguryeo and Jin troops were on the front line of the Yalu River, ruthlessly sweeping and trampling the hungry and tired Sui army.

In the face of Goguryeo's strong lineup, the Sui army, which had already broken through, was even more scattered, only Yu Zhongwen and Xue Shixiong finally reluctantly assembled a corps of about 50,000 people, and retreated while fighting all the way, and were never killed and dispersed by the Goguryeo.

And this is all thanks to the help of Xue Wanshu, the son of Xue Shixiong, who came from Hou Mochen, after Xue Wanshu found his father, he told him the location where the Left Fifth Army had buried grain along the way, and then they found food along the way, which was regarded as a solution to the urgent need, and after filling their stomachs, they finally had the heart to dare to fight.

In the end, he joined Yu Zhongwen, and the two armies fought and retreated, relying on the grain hidden by the Fifth Army on the left all the way to survive.

In the end, Yu Zhongwen and Xue Shixiong also withdrew to Daxing City, although only about 30,000 people from the 50,000 army withdrew into Daxing City, but after all, they finally escaped and ascended to heaven.

As for the other armies, basically none of them remained intact and escaped across the Yalu River, and basically they were routed and then dispersed and fled.

According to the chaotic news obtained on the battlefield, the Ninth Army that crossed the Yalu River, except for Luo Cheng's Left Fifth Army, the remaining Eighth Army, only General Yu Xue withdrew to Daxing City with 30,000 people, and the remaining more than 200,000 troops, only less than 50,000 Sui troops broke through and rushed across the Yalu River.

Nearly 40,000 people died directly on the hundreds of miles from Pyongyang to the Yalu River, and nearly 150,000 were taken prisoner.

And even if the tens of thousands of Sui troops who escaped the Yalu River wanted to escape all the way back to the Liao River, it was extremely difficult.

More than 300,000 horses of the Ninth Army crossed the river, and Daxing City had 10,000 horses and horses of the Left Fifth Army led by the original Song Laosheng, plus 5,000 people from the Left Fifth Army brought by Hou Mochen, plus 30,000 people brought by Xue Shixiong and Yu Zhongwen, adding up to 50,000 people.

Then there is the city of Pyongyang, after Pyongyang was conquered, there were still more than 17,000 people left in the Luo Cheng Division.

It's just that although there are more than 50,000 people in Daxing City now, it is also difficult to protect itself.

After defeating the Eighth Army at the Yalu River, Eokji Wende and Gao Jianwu quickly waved their troops down the river, and finally besieged Daxingcheng, with a full 180,000 Goguryeo and Jin Ya combined troops.

The small Daxing City is also a city that presses the clouds.

And the people in Daxing City don't know whether Luo Cheng has succeeded in going to Pyongyang.

I don't know if Luo Cheng has contacted him to protect his children.

Pyongyang.

It's been five days since the city was broken, and Luo Cheng still hasn't contacted him to protect his son.

The person who went to the mouth of the Beijiang River to look for Lai Hu'er came back to report that only traces of the Sui army camped there were left, and no Sui army was found. It seems that Laihu'er has evacuated with the sailor.

Hear this return.

The generals and colonels of the Left Fifth Army in Pyongyang were silent.

After trying his best to kill a horse pistol, under the noses of hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo people, he stole Pyongyang City, but now, Laihu'er is not on the beach, and he can't find anyone at all?

"This is really another bad news, and another bad news is that the Eighth Army has been completely defeated, and there is no possibility of returning to Pyongyang. Moreover, Gao Jianwu and Eulji Wende had already besieged Hou Mo Chen Changshi in Dahang City, and they seemed to have discovered that it was not all of our Left Fifth Army, so the Goguryeo army could return to Pyongyang at any time. ”

"Without the support of the sailors who came to protect the children, we would not have been able to hold Pyongyang City." Wei Zheng frowned.
