Chapter Seventy-Nine: Capture Yuan Gai Suwen Alive
Yuan Gai Suwen, who fell to the ground, was pressed by the horse corpse with one leg, and finally pulled it out, seeing the guards around him desperately defending himself falling one by one, he was extremely resentful in his heart, and snatched a unmanned war horse next to him, and just wanted to turn over and get on the horse and fight to the death with the Tang army that was close at hand.
But at this moment, suddenly Yuan Gai Suwen heard a thunderous roar above his head, and at the same time, the guards beside him also shouted warnings, he instinctively looked up, but saw a huge figure pressed down from the top of his head, looking at the size of the other party, it was the fierce general led by Tang Jun.
It turned out that Hu Li was blocked by the Yuan family's pro-army, and seeing that Yuan Gai Suwen, who was knocked off the horse, stood up unharmed, and his heart was very unwilling, at this time, the two were not far apart, which gave Hu Li an opportunity, regardless of flying up from the horse, risking his life to capture Yuan Gai Suwen.
The defenseless Yuangai Suwen was also taken aback by the other party's desperate move, and instinctively raised the big knife in his hand to stab the other party to death, but was pushed aside by Hu Li with a weapon. Then even the weight of hundreds of catties of armor smashed into Yuangai Suwen and the horses next to him.
Under the powerful kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy, Yuangai Suwen and even the people and horses were smashed to the ground. Even though Yuan Gai Suwen was in good health, he was also smashed with gold stars in his eyes. And before he could recover his strength, Hu Li had already taken the lead in standing up, swept the long stick in his hand, killed or injured the Yuan clan soldiers who came to the rescue, and then stretched out his hand to hold Yuan Gai Suwen under his armpit, held the stick in one hand to resist the enemy, and strode towards his team.
Seeing that the lord was about to be captured, the Yuan clan's pro-army seemed to be crazy, and countless people surrounded Huli, and a dense array of weapons attacked him, wanting to kill Huli on the spot, and at the same time save Yuangai Suwen.
Tiger power is brave though. But in the face of weapons attacking from all sides. But he couldn't cover it, so he had no choice but to wield an iron rod and sweep away the deadly weapon. As for the non-fatal, it can only be carried by the body, and in the blink of an eye, there are more than a dozen wounds on the body. The blood flowed like an infusion. However, this injury made Hu Li's brain flash, and he picked up the Yuangai Suwen who was sandwiched under his arm as a stick, and swept it over according to the surrounding Goguryeo soldiers.
At this time, the other party threw a mouse bogey, for fear of hurting the life of the main general, and retreated one after another, and at this time, the tiger head army and Zhou Long finally killed, seeing that the tiger force had captured the opponent's main general, and their morale was even more like a rainbow. The horse's hooves stepped on the other party's corpse to protect the tiger force, and when the tiger power turned over and got on the horse, he immediately raised the Yuangai Suwen in his hand above his head and shouted: "Yuangai Suwen has been captured." Those who wait for surrender will not die! ”
"Yuangai Suwen was captured. Those who wait for the surrender will not die......"
As soon as Hu Li's words came out, they were immediately spread by the Tang army around him. In the blink of an eye, the Tang army on the entire battlefield roared in unison, and after the Goguryeo soldiers heard this, they saw the Yuan Gai Suwen in the hands of the tall Tang general in the field, all of them were as white as earth, and their fighting spirit was lost in the blink of an eye.
"Bang~" As the first Goguryeo soldier threw down the weapon in his hand, and then as if causing a chain reaction, the sound of metal continued to be heard, and finally even joined together, except for a few die-hard people who were still resisting, most of the people on the left battlefield threw down their weapons and surrendered.
And Hu Li, under the support of Zhou Long and them, rushed to the main battlefield with Yuan Gai Suwen in his arms, and at the same time spread the news of Yuan Gai Suwen alive, and as a result, the Goguryeo soldiers who had already dealt with the brink of collapse immediately put down their weapons and surrendered.
They turned around on the battlefield, and then they rushed to Li Shimin, turned over and dismounted, and threw Yuan Gai Suwen, who had been coerced to death, to the ground, clasped his fists and saluted: "The last generals, Huli and Zhou Long, come to restore your life!" ”
"Hahaha~, please get up!" When Li Shimin saw these two tiger generals, he happily threw off the saddle and dismounted, and took a few steps forward to personally help the two up, but turned a blind eye to the blood and broken flesh on their armor.
Although Hu Li and Zhou Long regarded Li Shimin as their enemy, they couldn't help but feel a little moved when they saw him attach so much importance to themselves, and at the same time, they secretly said in their hearts that the Li family was full of talents, and the lord was defeated in their hands at the beginning, and he was indeed unjustly lost.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two bowed down to thank them, and before they could stand up, Li Su had already asked the prepared medical soldiers to help them down, don't look at their majesty on the battlefield, but on the battlefield, no matter how brave the generals are, they will inevitably be injured, not to mention that they win more with less, and at the same time rush to the front, even if they are protected by armor, but there are countless wounds, if they don't stop the bleeding in time, it is estimated that they are likely to lose too much blood and die.
Similarly, the five thousand cavalry who went with them also suffered heavy casualties, nearly a thousand were killed in the battle, and the rest were all wounded, as for the one thousand palace guards, the seven hundred tiger head soldiers died nearly a hundred, and the other three hundred were half killed in the battle, after all, no matter how elite they were, but they have been rushing to the front of the team, casualties are inevitable, and even if they are alive, there are many people who are extremely injured, and as soon as they come back, they fall down from their horses, and it is still unknown whether they can be saved.
The loss of nearly one-third of the 1,000 guards brought by him, although the credit is great, but such a large casualty still makes Li Su feel pain, these are his strongest team in the future, but because of the heavy losses in the battle of Goguryeo, there is no place to compensate for it, which is really a loss.
However, after this battle, Li Su found that the surviving guards were very different, especially the six hundred tiger-headed soldiers, although there was still a little sadness of losing their comrades on their faces, but the spiritual temperament of the whole person had a feeling of being reborn, as if the dusty pearl had finally washed away the dust and began to bloom with brilliant brilliance.
With the capture of Yuangai Suwen, the Goguryeo army surrendered one after another, even if some die-hard people resisted stubbornly, but it was difficult to stop the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, and the battlefield was finally cleared near evening. Although there were still several thousand defenders in Pyongyang, the 150,000 troops outside the city had been wiped out by the Tang army, and they naturally had no courage to be enemies of the Tang army, so they surrendered Kaesong very wisely. However, it was getting late at this time, and out of prudence, Li Ji only ordered people to guard the gates of Pyongyang City, and did not enter the city immediately, and was still stationed outside Pyongyang that night.
In this battle, the Tang army of 70,000 against Goguryeo 150,000, of which the Goguryeo side killed 20,000 and wounded more than 40,000, and the Tang army also suffered more than 10,000 casualties, of which the wounded naturally accounted for most of them. As a medical officer, Li Su was originally very busy, but in addition to knowing some theories, he was only average for practical operations, and he didn't like to treat wounds by himself, so he handed over the medical soldiers to several deputies to manage, and promised them that one of them would be selected as the future medical officer.
Several deputies also knew that as Li Su's identity, serving as a medical officer was only temporary, so when they heard Li Su's promise, they naturally redoubled their efforts, although there would be some intrigue occasionally, but in general they still did a very good job, and they didn't need Li Su to worry about it at all, and he usually didn't go to the medical camp much.
Medical battalions are usually located on the edge of the battlefield so that wounded soldiers who come down from the battlefield can be brought here. Today, Li Su is also very rare to stay in the medical camp, because almost all of the more than 700 surviving guards are staying here, and there are more than a dozen seriously injured people in a coma, I don't know if they can survive? Whether it was reasonable or reasonable, he had to come and take a look.
War is cruel, this is best reflected in the medical camp in front of you, soldiers with broken hands and feet can be seen everywhere, moans and screams are continuous, entering here is like entering a human slaughterhouse, the weak-willed people stay here for a longer time, they will definitely go crazy on the spot because they can't bear it, which is why Li Su doesn't like to come here.
Li Su is the chief officer of the medical battalion, and Hu Li and Zhou Long are the great heroes who captured Yuan Gai Suwen, so they naturally received the best care, giving priority to the seriously injured people to treat their wounds, and then staying here to observe, and the less injured ones went back to their respective camps to eat and rest after treating their wounds, and then came to the medical camp on time to change the dressing.
In addition to the dozen or so unconscious seriously wounded, Hu Li and dozens of others also had to stay in the medical camp for observation, so after Li Su and the others dealt with their wounds, they let Hu Li and them recuperate with peace of mind.
Although it was dark, there was still a lot of noise in the medical camp, in addition to moans and screams, there was also a lot of tired snoring, and the day's fighting had exhausted a lot of energy, and some lightly wounded soldiers fell asleep in the tents on the ground before the medics could treat their wounds.
After all, the battlefield is so big, and it is impossible to clean up the wounded on the battlefield in a short time, and now the battlefield is full of soldiers with torches, rummaging back and forth in the pile of corpses on the ground, as long as it is a Tang sergeant, and those who still have a breath will be carried to the medical camp immediately, and those who are not angry will also be carried out to converge.
Just as Li Su and the others were walking out of the medical camp, a group of people suddenly rushed from the entrance of the camp, there were about seventeen or eighteen of them, all wearing tattered armor, and their whole bodies including their faces were covered with blood, and they looked like they had crawled out of the pile of corpses, and seven or eight of them were carrying a few wounded on their backs, and they were running towards this side while shouting in a hoarse voice: "Medic! Medic! ”
Originally, this kind of scene was the most common in the medical camp, but seeing these dozen people running past him, Li Su didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when this group of people intertwined with him, Li Su's eyes suddenly found one of the figures carrying the wounded on his back from this group of people, and it was very familiar, which made him a little surprised, turned around and looked at the back of that person carefully, although there was another person on the other party's back, but the familiarity was getting stronger and stronger, could it really be him?
