Turbulent Times Chapter 1121: After the city breaks

The twelve generals reacted quickly. Before the dust settled, they sent some of their cavalry to the edge of the collapsed west city wall. Dismount the horse and lead the horse to cross. Fortunately, the Goguryeo defenders are still in a state of panic and panic at this time. There is no large number of troops to stop them. The Goguryeo soldiers who survived nearby are already frightened. Not to mention turning around and running towards the city.

After being horrified, Yuan Tae-joo, the commander of Goguryeo, quickly regained his composure, woke up the soldiers and messengers around him, and left his confidant general to lead an army of 30,000 to defend the city and hold back the Sui army. He led the main force of the 200,000 Goguryeo army Quickly retreating from the east gate, as for the tens of thousands of people, they simply couldn’t care about it.

At this time, Yang Guang was in high spirits, and his ecstasy was beyond words. At the same time, he looked at the ruins from a distance and blocked the speed of the cavalry from entering the city. The army caused some damage and losses, but there was no cavalry sprint, and then street fighting with the Goguryeo army in the city, which inevitably required some effort and some losses.

But soon after, spies came to report that the main force of the Goguryeo army fled from the east gate. Yang Guang immediately ordered Wang Gongren to lead 150,000 cavalry to chase the Goguryeo army, while the infantry stayed behind to completely capture Liaodong City.

“Your Majesty! In the next battle with the Goguryeo army, Liaodong City will become our army’s stronghold. As long as we defend Liaodong City, our army will be invincible. We can retreat and defend, and attack without any worries.” Pei Shiju stood Behind Yang Guang, he suddenly bowed and said.

“That’s right, I’ve always planned this way, but it’s a pity that the twelve generals were incompetent, and Liaodong City could not be attacked for a long time. Wang Junlin did not disappoint me. Not only did he lead people to conquer half of Annan County, but also Send someone to help me break Liaodong City with secret treasures…”

Speaking of this, Yang Guang suddenly remembered something, his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: “Come here, let the team sent by Wang Junlin come to see me, and I will reward them for their great achievements in person.”

At this time, more and more Sui cavalry and infantry rushed into Liaodong City, leaped over the catapults and ladders that had been left on the ground, and began to gallop and charge. Nothing can stop their progress

.

After Yuwen Chengdu led the two thousand emperor’s personal guards to rush into Liaodong City first, in order not to block the gap, he tried his best to send Sui troops to the city as much as possible, directly interspersed with the north and south sides, penetrated deep into the city, and went straight to other places. Two city gates. It was quickly opened, allowing the other cavalry of the two sides to rush into the city quickly. As for the east side, it was deliberately released before, so that the Goguryeo people would not have a desperate heart, but unexpectedly, Yuan Taizuo led the main force to escape.

At this time, there are surging crowds of horses in all directions, and the whole city is like a flood embankment collapsed, and the flood is spreading in all directions.

These days, the soldiers of the Sui army have been on fire for a long time. Coupled with the large number of people entering the city, many soldiers lost control and burned, killed and looted the Goguryeo nobles and common people in the city. Guang reported the situation in the city and reported to Yang Guang that when Yang Guang issued a decree strictly prohibiting harming the people, he did not know how many people in the city had suffered, especially those women…

…

…

“What, the person sent by Wang Junlin is missing.” After hearing the report from the people below, Yang Guang’s face darkened immediately, but he didn’t say anything in the end, but Pei Shiju, who had secretly formed an alliance with Wang Junlin, knew that, Yang Guang’s suspicion of Wang Junlin has been planted.

In Pei Shiju’s view, Wang Junlin made a mistake in this matter. If he would have sacrificed that team of troops, the emperor can be kept, and he can do whatever he wants.

Yu Wenshu handed over the subsequent siege to his subordinates. He stood beside the ruins. After seeing the shattered city wall, he became silent and stayed in the rocky beach with Li Zixiong and other generals. After a while, all the generals were not in a very good mood. It is certainly a great victory to win Liaodong City, but this is not their credit, on the contrary, it highlights their incompetence.

…

…

The Goguryeo war has come to this point, it must be resolved quickly.

Although the city of Liaodong was captured, the old thief Yuan Taizuo was too decisive. He cut off his tail to survive without hesitation. escaped immediately.

Right now, Wang Rengong led 150,000 cavalry to catch up, and there are more than 700,000 remaining

Ma, now the division of the Sui army has become a natural thing.

But is it really good to divide the troops now? Or is it really good to continue to attack Goguryeo with all your strength right now?

Diseases have already begun to appear in the army, and the epidemic among civilians is even more important. After the division of troops, if the supply of food and grass is not enough, the Goguryeo people are very strong and clear. If the army has no food and grass, it will not be far from collapse.

Yu Wenshu looked up and saw that there was not even a trace of cloud and there was no sky.

…

…

Yuan Taizuo left an army of 30,000 to fight to the death, so after the Sui army rushed into Liaodong City, the battle was not over yet.

The city wall is only the first line of defense. When this line of defense is overwhelmed, Liaodong City has a second and third line of defense, such as Wengcheng, such as street fighting.

A small number of Goguryeo soldiers saw the situation clearly, threw away their weapons after losing their fighting spirit, and bowed their heads on the ground to surrender. After the city was broken, they immediately retreated into the Wengcheng. When the Wengcheng fell, they retreated into the city in small groups of hundreds of people and dozens of people, and used the streets to harass and fight.

The city was full of flames and screams, people died with every breath, and every scream represented the passing of a life.

Street fighting in the city is still going on, and the fighting is still fierce. However, for the Goguryeo defenders, the situation is irreversible.

Yang Guang and many civil and military officials did not enter the city. After the street fighting, the battlefield was cleaned up and the remnants of the enemy were cleared. In the next two or three days, the fighting in the city would continue until all the remnants of the enemy fled or were wiped out.

The atmosphere in the imperial tent outside the city swept away the depression of the past few days, and became harmonious tonight.

Yang Guang decided to hold a banquet in the imperial tent to celebrate his victory. The wars have been going badly for many days, and the monarchs and ministers have a heavy stone on their hearts. Take a breath.

The destruction of Liaodong City is a huge piece of good news for the emperor and ministers. The geographical location of this city is very important. go south.
