The sun was slowly setting, and the sky was full of red clouds, and the head of Pyongyang City was fiery red under the glow of the sun.
The second attack of the Zhao army on Pyongyang City has been carried out for three hours, and the soldiers have been thrown into battle all the way, and the soldiers who have not yet participated in the battle look at Pyongyang Jing, the capital of the Goguryeo people, and they all look energetic and murderous.
The gate of Pyongyang burned out with smoke and smoke, and an hour ago, the gate was smashed open by the explosion of oil bombs planted by Zhao Jun.
When the city gate was broken, the Zhao soldiers thought that the city was broken and killed, but they did not expect that there was an urn city inside, and the soldiers stepped on the horses, antlers, and thistles laid by the Goguryeo people, and then the bows and crossbows on both sides of the city wall were put together, and hundreds of Goguryeo soldiers who were ambushed in the Tibetan soldiers on both sides of the urn city were killed, and most of the more than 100 Zhao soldiers who rushed into the urn city were killed.
Fortunately, thanks to the effective support of men and horses, the whole army was avoided, and now the Zhao army has destroyed all the horses, antlers, and thistles under the Goguryeo cloth. A general led dozens of elite soldiers of the Armed Guard Army, wearing three layers of heavy armor, holding a rifle lance to kill into the urn city, and the Goguryeo army with a heavy shield and iron spear in front of him.
The general of the Zhao army is also a fierce figure, picking up a mace and being invincible, the soldiers of the Goguryeo army are also iron-hearted, and the gate of the urn city behind him has long been blocked, which is equivalent to being cut off from the back road. When they came out of the cave, they reported their determination to die in battle. What awaits them is only the result of fighting to the last soldier.
The two armies were in the urn city, and they were killed by stacking corpses.
On the city wall, more and more Zhao soldiers climbed to the top of the city, and the Goguryeo army struggled to support the resistance. The sound of the gong sounded urgently above the city. Goguryeo's new forces were constantly being transferred from other places to compete with the Zhao army for the city wall.
The fierce fighting on the head of the city intensified. Unlike the tension of the Goguryeo people, the morale of the Zhao soldiers under the city was higher, and the foothold that the Zhao army had now gained on the city wall was gradually consolidated.
On the east side of the city wall, in the previous blow of the Zhao army's stone thrower, a large piece of the city wall was knocked down, and now Xue Wanche organized a death squad to carry a shield and compete with Goguryeo for this place.
The two armies fought until dark. Eight hours have passed since the fierce battle. The lights above and below the city were bright, and the soldiers of Zhao held bright torches and constantly poured into Pyongyang City, and the new forces of the Zhao army continued to attack Pyongyang City all over the mountains, and even the Silla army that had rested on the mountains was invested.
The new force of the Zhao army seemed to be endless, more and more battlements on the city walls were captured, and the Goguryeo soldiers were in a hurry. The east wall was demolished to make up the west wall, and the Zhao army went deeper step by step, and the city head was almost covered by the torches of the Zhao army.
The battle was late at night, and the siege was about to pass twelve hours, and the soldiers and soldiers of Zhao were waiting for this moment to come.
Finally, their long-awaited cry came from the front line: "The city is broken!" ”
The soldiers and soldiers of Zhao present all raised their arms and shouted: "The city is broken!" ”
You can see it. The Zhao army, carrying torches, poured into Pyongyang City, and the rolling crowd could not stop. In the midst of the firelight, the banner of Zhao Zi was erected on the head of Pyongyang City.
"Your Majesty, it's finally succeeded." Zhang Xuansu excitedly told Li Chongjiu.
Li Chongjiu stood in front of the formation, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's not the time to finish yet. Don't forget how Laihu'er was defeated under the city of Pyongyang. ”
"Yes, we need to watch out for night attacks by the Goguryeos."
Li Chongjiu ordered down and said, "Order five cavalry regiments." Beware of the situation of the Goguryeo army in the direction of Daeseongsanseong. ”
"As for you to follow me into the city!"
"No!"
All the generals were commanded together.
In the city of Pyongyang, Ulji Moondeok, supported by the soldiers, left in a hurry. In the direction of the city wall, the Goguryeo soldiers lost their armor and collapsed.
After the city gate was opened, Sergeant Zhao advanced in the direction of the street.
Eulzhi Wende glanced at the city wall hatefully and said: "The city has been broken, I have nothing to say, only one death to thank His Majesty, but did Li Chongjiu think that the capture of Pyongyang City would be a victory?" ”
Speaking of this, a sneer appeared on Ulzhi Wende's face and shouted to the left and right: "Pass the order and act according to the previous plan." ”
The general's expression changed and said, "Does the big pair of Lu really want to do this?" ”
Ulzhi Wende's eyes flashed with a fierce color and said: "You can't have the kindness of a woman in war, what is this sacrifice, I, a Goguryeo person, would rather die than be humiliated, and I will never make this Pyongyang capital cheap Han people." ”
Moments after the Zhao army broke through the city, the Goguryeo army was still fighting the Zhao army in the city to prevent them from killing Anhe Palace. At this time, the direction of Anhe Palace suddenly burst into flames, and all the Goguryeo people were stunned when they saw this scene.
Subsequently, not only Anhak Palace, but also all the streets and alleys of Pyongyang City, and the residences of dignitaries and nobles, were all on fire.
Countless people dressed in Goguryeo clothes rushed out of their houses in the city, crying and screaming, and the entire Pyongyang city burst into flames everywhere in an instant. Taking advantage of this fire separation, Yizhi Wende led the remnants of the army to set fire everywhere on the one hand, and placed obstacles on the city road barricades on the other hand to prevent the pursuit of the Zhao army.
A large number of Goguryeo soldiers took advantage of this opportunity and rushed in the other direction of the Zhao army's siege. The attacking Zhao soldiers were hindered by the fire and could not advance a bit.
"Your Majesty, Ezhi Wende set fire to the city and blocked our army's pursuit."
Li Chongjiu's eyes were sharp, he came to attack Pyongyang for the granary and treasury of Goguryeo. I didn't expect Eulji Mundeok to set fire to Pyongyang City, and even the people in the city abandoned it, which is obviously a way that I can't get, and you can't think of it.
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but hate it.
The next day, the fire was extinguished and the Zhao army occupied the entire city of Pyongyang. The people of Goguryeo were captured, and more than 30,000 soldiers were roughly remembered. However, the Goguryeo granary, which was already thought to be destroyed, did not lose the slightest trace of the treasury.
When Li Chongjiu came here on horseback, but when he saw corpses all over the ground, a general and a monk introduced him to Li Chongjiu: "Your Majesty, it was this monk who led the people to capture the granary and prevent the Goguryeo people from burning it. ”
When the monk heard that the general called this person His Majesty, his eyes couldn't help but sink, but when he saw countless fiery red battle flags with the character Zhao written on them, he couldn't help but ask in Chinese, "Zhao?" 陛xià? What's going on? What about Yu Dashuai? What about the general? Where are they? Where are they? ”
The monk looked up to the sky and shouted, as if he were crazy.
The guards were afraid that this person would hurt Li Chongjiu and was about to subdue him, but he saw Li Chongjiu stretch out his hand and said: "This brother, the Great Sui has perished, and now it is the world of the Great Zhao, as for General Yu Zhongwen, who was defeated in Liaodong that year, he was convicted of the defeat of the Liaodong army, and died of depression after being imprisoned. And General Hu'er and the Son of Heaven were killed together in Jiangdu for the rebel Yu culture. ”
After hearing Li Chongjiu's words, the more than 100 people behind this monk were all out of shape, and many of them knelt on the ground and cried.
Someone said, "Daddy, do you know? The child has been in a foreign country for ten years, and I thought that one day, the court would come to save us, but I didn't expect the court to die. ”
"Yes, the court is dead, we hate it."
"It is our misfortune to serve the country in this life, but the country is destroyed."
The monk's expression changed slightly, but he regained his senses and looked at Li Chongjiu and said, "I'm sorry, it's me who lost my temper." Are you the emperor of the current imperial court? I'm sorry, I'm a rough person, and I don't know the etiquette of meeting the Son of Heaven. ”
Li Chongjiu said: "I am the Son of Heaven, and you are generally the original soldiers of the Great Sui, after Yu Culture and rebellion, I drew my sword in Youjing, and so far, with luck and luck, I have such a little achievement today." ”
The monk nodded and said: "I see, we are all soldiers who follow Marshal Yu Zhongwen, I am from Guanzhong, after the defeat of the Sashui soldiers, everyone was captured by the Goguryeo people, and they should have died, but they endured humiliation and lived to this day." Brother, this is the Son of the Moment, come and worship with me. ”
After listening to the monk's words, more than 100 people behind him bowed down, some watched for a while and hesitated, and more than a dozen people stood still.
Wearing bright armor on the side, Zhao Junting's guards looked at more than a dozen people who did not kneel, all of them were dissatisfied, so they waited for Li Chongjiu to give an order to go up and arrest people.
At this time, Li Chongjiu stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, I know that you are all soldiers who conquered Liaodong back then, and you have been in a foreign country for ten years, can you miss your relatives at home?" ”
When all the soldiers heard this, they all nodded together.
Li Chongjiu said: "This brother just said that everyone is enduring humiliation and stealing life to this day, this sentence is not right, people who have no relatives and small families, endure humiliation is not to steal life, but to live to see relatives again, to live for the family, to wait for the country, sacrifice life and forget death, thousands of miles to Liaodong, what are you for?" Don't talk about those big truths, isn't it for the sake of making military merits, and will you be able to glorify your ancestors in the future? You say don't you? ”
"Yes." Not only did more than 100 soldiers answer with tears in their eyes, but Zhao Jun's court guards also replied in the same way.
Li Chongjiu said that he was right: "You are waiting to fight for the country, throw your head and spill your blood, do not hesitate to be young, fight to the death, you are all well-known men!" Now that you have been humiliated in a foreign country, you still think about your homeland, and frankly the country has treated you badly. And if a country can't let its meritorious soldiers get the glory they deserve, it is not worthy of being an emperor, and I am not worthy of being an emperor! ”
"Now I say to you, you can go home, go home and meet your relatives, so that they will know that the country will not forget you, and you are the true loyal soul of this country!"
After Li Chongjiu finished speaking, the old soldiers of Liaodong were all in tears, constantly wiping the tears from the corners of their eyes, while the soldiers of Zhao on the side were constantly applauding, looking excited, and shouting long live.
This remark is not only to the bottom of the heart of the deceased soldier in Liaodong, but also to the heart of the soldiers of the Zhao army beside him.
The monk Gao Tao stepped forward and said excitedly: "With His Majesty's words, it is worth waiting for ten years." ”
On the side, Zhang Xuansu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I finally know why His Majesty's military strategy is just the capital of a Chinese person, but it has today's foundation." It turns out that it all lies in the grasp of people's hearts, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world! ”
"Hooray!"
"Hooray!"
On the side, the former soldiers of Liaodong also joined the soldiers of Zhao, and shouted long live together.
