808 The Death of Jiang Yishi (II)

As an old cat, Jiang Yishi was relatively unwilling, and failed to protect the king, so that the king of Goguryeo was captured by the enemy army, the dignity of the country was lost, and the country was not a country, and he came to rescue the king with the last hope, but the final outcome was an unexpected fiasco, this was the first fiasco in life, and the last fiasco in life, Jiang Yishi could feel that from the first stone fell to the ground, his death was irreversible.

Of course it is irreversible, Jiang Yishi's death has been written into the script, an irreversible ending, no matter how much he resists, no matter how unwilling he is, no matter how he gathers the guards around him to fight to the death, he still can't recover the irreparable ending, and he can't save Gao Jianwu, who has been imprisoned on the sea ship and is on the way back, this is the ending.

The war is basically over, the Goguryeo people are dead except for those who escaped, and those who stayed here to be blocked are basically dead, the all-out confrontation is over, and the sporadic resistance is also slowly extinguished by the cavalry team, Suning ordered several cavalry lieutenants to take thousands of cavalry to pursue the fleeing Goguryeo rout, and the remaining soldiers and horses slowly gathered on the final battlefield - Jiang Yishi's desperate fight on the small hill.

Jiang Yishi's last few hundred soldiers and horses are still fighting desperately, protecting Jiang Yishi on the top of the innermost hill, Jiang Yishi is half-kneeling on the ground alone, propped up on the ground with a big sword, and does not let himself fall, after all, he is already over seventy years old, not an age that is very suitable for hand-to-hand combat, Fang Cai's fight has consumed all his strength, and there are few remaining guards to protect him when he retreats to the small hill. He could no longer stand up, so he had to rely on the guards to carry him.

Now the only remaining hundreds of guards are still desperately resisting, although they are surrounded on all sides, there is no chance of victory and survival at all, but these guards are still divided into four ways to protect the pillar in their hearts, Goguryeo's Zhu State General Jiang Yishi, although now the Zhu State General has no strength to continue fighting, but they still struggle and fight endlessly.

The Tang Dynasty slowly swept away all the Goguryeo soldiers and horses, and surrounded the last small hill with three layers inside and three layers outside. Four hours have passed since the start of the war. Suning has already seen the sunset on the horizon, Jiang Yishi is like the bloody sun, and he can't avoid the final outcome, although Suning respects this old general who still refuses to give up in the end. But now that he is besieged today. There is absolutely no chance of survival.

Perhaps to protect the last hope. The guards fought extremely bravely, and even at the last moment, they still had the idea of dying with the Tang soldiers, and Suning saw several Goguryeo soldiers still hugging a Tang soldier before they died. Biting the neck of the Tang soldiers with their teeth, they were finally stabbed to death with spears together, and some simply hit their heads directly, directly pretending to have their heads broken and bleeding and fell to the ground, and even more forced to twist off the enemy's head in their hands, and finally were shot to death with crossbow arrows.

This is the last tenacity and resistance of Goguryeo, Suning thought like this, these Goguryeo soldiers and horses used their last strength and courage to fight with the absolutely superior Tang soldiers, and they didn't care at all that they had been surrounded by the three layers inside and the three layers outside, and they didn't care at all that the red eyes of the Tang soldiers who were black and oppressive, and they did the final battle with the weapons in their hands, and the beasts were still fighting.

Suning feels that no matter what the result is today, of course, this result will not change, but these warriors who fought until the last moment are warriors and worthy of respect, although they don't like the Goguryeo people, but it cannot be denied that the Goguryeo people also have their own heroes, and these people in front of him are, Suning looked up and saw the last stubborn figure on the top of the hill, sighed slightly, and the killing intent that was boiling gradually cooled.

It didn't take long for the last guard to resist to be pierced through the chest by three spears and died, and before he died, he also bit the arm of a Tang soldier tightly, and finally ripped off a piece of meat, like a madman, of course, he did not forget to shout "General" at the end, like the light of the bloody sun, the last man and a horse on the hill looked so tragic, and the last figure was so desolate.

Jiang Yishi stood up, supported his body with a long sword, staggered to his feet, looked around, looking at the guards who had all died in battle and the Tang Army soldiers who were tightly besieging him, he let out an extremely loud wild laugh, which resounded all around, and the entire battlefield suddenly fell silent, and everyone did not speak, not wanting to destroy this historical scene.

Suning looked at Zhang Shigui and Zhang Liang, who were also embarrassed, sighed slightly, stepped forward, and said in a loud voice: "General Jiang Yishi, I have heard of the name for a long time, and I can see it today, the general is really worthy of being the general of Goguryeo." ”

Jiang Yishi saw the bloody man Suning on the horse, stared for a while, and asked, "You are Suning, right?" ”

Suning nodded and said, "It's exactly below!" ”

Jiang Yishi asked: "Is it that you led the troops to destroy my Goguryeo royal capital and kidnapped the king and queen?" ”

Suning nodded: "That's right!" ”

Jiang Yishi seemed to sigh slightly: "I really didn't expect you to be so young, when I heard my subordinates say that you were very young, I never thought that you were so young, it seems that the old man is indeed old, today's defeat is really the will of God, the old man is convinced." ”

Suning said loudly: "Old General Jiang is worthy of being a hero, today's defeat, the old general also said that it was really the will of heaven, not a human possibility, even so, why didn't the old general submit to my Celestial Empire, but fight to the death?!" ”

Jiang Yishi suddenly glared angrily: "When have you ever seen a hero kneeling on the ground begging for mercy!" My knees, kneeling to heaven and earth, kneeling to parents, kneeling to kings, why should I kneel to the enemy! Or the enemy of life and death of my country and my people, you came all the way, burning, killing and looting, destroying countless houses and fertile fields, destroying all spring ploughing, no food, how to spend the winter days, I Goguryeo don't know how many more people will die, why do I surrender! ”

Suning said coldly: "Goguryeo has today's defeat, it is really self-inflicted, it is still possible to live if it is evil, but it is impossible to live if it is evil!" If you, Goguryeo, do not treacherously attack our dynasty, why do I have to come here with thousands of miles of troops and risk my life to fight repeatedly. After the first battle, I don't want to have a second battle, but in order to protect the people of my country, I can only fight once, and the mercy to you and others is a cruel betrayal of the people of my country, how can there be such a reason in the world! ”

Jiang Yishi had a cold face and said angrily: "Even so, the people are innocent, you came all the way to burn down their houses." Destroy their fields. There is no food, how do they survive the winter, thousands of refugees, where is there food for them to eat. Will they survive? And how many young girls. There is no enmity with you. But you died at your hands, and although you have great achievements, you are a bloody butcher. Young and so cruel, what shame do you have to live in this world! ”

Suning laughed and said, "As long as it is beneficial to the people of my country, what does it matter if I am slaughtered for 50,000 miles?" Men of my generation only need to have a clear conscience to do things, where does the great truth come from, and where can the survival of the enemy be tolerated on the battlefield! Call it to you, and you will do the same! If they resent me and hated me, even if they came, then what matter? I'm dead, twenty years later, I'm still a good man! When it comes to the same thing, I won't be merciful! ”

Xue Rengui shouted: "The general is mighty!" ”

The three armies shouted in unison: "The general is mighty!" ”

Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui looked at Suning and couldn't stop admiring, the original child had grown into a real man, a general who stood up to the sky.

Jiang Yishi snorted coldly and said: "It's useless to say anything to you now, the old man is already a person who is going to die, the old man only asks you one thing, what do you want to do when you capture the king back to the Tang Kingdom?!" ”

Suning laughed and said: "What to do, how do I know what to do, but I remember that the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan, who was captured alive by me, is now studying dance skills in the deep palace of Chang'an, and is planning to perform a dance on the birthday of my Tang Emperor, just right, capture Gao Jianwu back to China, and dedicate it to His Majesty, let him study dance skills with Jieli, and celebrate the birthday of my Tang Emperor Xià!" By the way, the Ni Khan of the Western Turks and the Yi Nan Khan of Xue Yantuo are estimated to go together, and when the time comes, please invite the four of you to dance for my Tang Emperor Xi à and celebrate his birthday! Hahahahaha! ”

As soon as Suning said this, the surrounding soldiers all laughed, Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui were also amused, Jiang Yishi was so angry that his face turned blue and trembled, but he didn't have anything to do, he just felt sad and incomparable, the once prosperous Goguryeo country has fallen to this point, not only the king was arrested, but the last 100,000 troops were also left, and it is estimated that the death of Goguryeo cannot be reversed.

I'm a sinner......

With a long sigh, Jiang Yishi lowered his head, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head, knelt down in the direction of the capital of the Goguryeo king, kowtowed three heads, and shouted: "The first king is above, and the last general Jiang Yishi is worthy of the cultivation of the first king, and the safety of the king and the Goguryeo kingdom who failed to protect it, so that in such a critical situation, the final general will not escape the death penalty!" ”

Then, Jiang Yishi stood up and shouted at Suning: "Suning, although the old man was defeated and died today, he will never admit defeat, if there is an afterlife, the old man will definitely fight against you Tang Guo to the end, as you said, twenty years later, the old man is still a good man!" ”

After speaking, Jiang Yishi put the big sword across his neck, pulled it hard, and a stream of blood spilled out, Jiang Yishi fell to the ground with a thud, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands and inserting it on the ground, and his head fell on the hilt of the sword.

Jiang Yishi's death indicates that the total defeat of Goguryeo has been irreversible, Gao Jianwu has been transported back to China, Goguryeo will never have a chance to make a comeback, and the 100,000 troops representing the last strength of the central government will be wiped out, which will make countless careerists swarm, and before the Tang army launches the final war of annihilation against Goguryeo, Goguryeo will have no peace.

The final battle came to an end, the war horse belonging to Jiang Yishi was still licking the owner's cheek, as if he wanted to wake up the master, of course, its owner would never wake up again, Suning dismounted and walked up the high slope, Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui also walked up, Zhang Shigui sighed: "Jiang Yishi is a hero in the end, I would rather die than give in, we should bury him, and it can be regarded as consoling the people who died in the war here." ”

Zhang Liang sighed, rarely obeyed the meaning of others, and Suning naturally had no other ideas, so he ordered Jiang Yishi's body to be cremated, and built a cemetery, tombstone, and burial for him here, to comfort the tens of thousands of people who died in battle here.

The death of Jiang Yishi is the beginning of a new era, and the demise of Goguryeo has been irreversible, so Silla and Baekje will also follow, and the Tang Dynasty will not let another big country appear on the peninsula to threaten the security of the Tang Dynasty, even if Li Er's Majesty thinks so, Suning will never agree, whether it is Silla or Baekje will become history completely in the next war, and the Wa Kingdom is the next target.

From that highest point, the people of Datang have taken another step forward, although this victory is not easy to come by, but it is a victory after all, looking at the cheering soldiers, Suning knows that the future of Datang is far more than that. (To be continued......)
