Chapter 342: Liaodong City is broken, still fighting?

In the early morning, the Liaodong city was as quiet as usual, no, there was still a little noise, because General Yizhi Wende led an army of 100,000 to hunt in the Tang Dynasty. The property and population he had obtained along the way had been transported back, and at this time they were piled up in the Liaodong city. The noisy sound was the young and strong people of the Tang Dynasty who were captured in the city.

Those who originally needed to open the city gate at Mao hour, the city guards would open the door early these days. It was nothing more. Recently, it was the harvest season. Frontline soldiers kept transporting things into the city, and they could receive the spoils as soon as they opened the door earlier.

Just as the door was opened, a large group of hundreds of soldiers from their own soldiers rushed into the city in rushing cars. In the past, everyone would have checked one after another, but now it is not necessary. General Yizhi Wende won consecutive victories and the war was in the Tang Dynasty. This is a great counterattack victory that Goguryeo has never seen in many years, so everyone is looking forward to the news of victory on the front line. Who would have thought that someone could fight back?

But unexpected things happened. After this team of Goguryeo soldiers entered the city, they did not go to the city to deliver supplies as usual, but instead went to the city to go into two groups.

When the city guard came down to ask, the answer was a quick blade!

"kill!"

Hundreds of Qi's army, disguised as Goguryeo Army, suddenly rose up and killed the team guarding the city gate in a few seconds, climbed up to the top of the city from both sides, and started a fight.

At this time, 50,000 Khitan soldiers were also dispatched. One by one, the fierce Khitan warriors rushed into Liaodong City with scimitars. Anyone who was blocking the road would cut them down without discussing any discussion.

However, Qin Huaidao's two thousand white horses Yicong did not enter the city, but was sent to the east gate of Liaodong City to block the road. On the one hand, it was to prevent someone from escaping from the east, and on the other hand, it was to prevent someone from going to report the news. After all, it would be best to hide it from the other party, so as not to take it back.

In less than an hour, the five thousand defenders in Liaodong City were actually slaughtered. The Khitan Marshal admired and said to Cheng Huaimo: "The general is really a god. Liaodong City has always been called the barrier in the west of Goguryeo, but it was taken down by the general without any effort!"

Cheng Huaimo smiled and said, "What's this? It's just a coincidence! This time, Goguryeo's 100,000 troops took advantage of the emptiness of our Youzhou to attack the Tang Dynasty. However, they didn't know that the attack and defense were both easy on the battlefield. After their troops came to the Tang Dynasty, he became empty. I just caught him off guard in this time. Normally, I let Yizhi Wende stick here. Without a 100,000 troops, I can't take this city."

Although the Khitan Marshal was a master of Chinese, Cheng Huaimo still understood the explanation of Sun Tzu's Art of War. He understood one thing: the Tang Dynasty did what the Khitan could not do. Without the Tang Dynasty's actions, the Khitans could not conquer the Liaodong City at all, so the Tang Dynasty was braver than the Khitans.

It was also the idea of ​​the Khitan Marshal that avoided a dispute between the two countries this time. It turned out that after everyone came to Liaodong City and counted the spoils, the two armies had a disagreement.

Liaodong can be said to be rich now. It not only has its original wealth, but also has all the wealth transported from Youzhou, the Tang Dynasty, and it has not been transported out at all. According to the prior agreement, all of these gold and silver items are from the Khitan, but most of these were plundered from the Tang Dynasty and should be returned to the people of the Tang Dynasty, so the military officials on both sides had differences.

In the end, the Khitan marshal was wise and said that when the Tang Dynasty saved the people, he needed to pay the money and supplies. After doing this, the remaining property would be returned to the Khitan. After all, the Khitan King's order was to help for free. Tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers looked at Chengshan's gold and silver red eyes, but none of them dared to object. First, the commander was given to the commander, and they also admired the courage of the Tang army.

Cheng Huaimu had a different view of the Khitan marshal who was very delicate. This person was not only a simple person, but also knew the situation and advancement and retreat. The amount of gold and silver he gave up now was a small profit, but he won the people of Youzhou, the Tang Dynasty, and the favor of many soldiers. In the future, the Khitan will gain the friendship of the Tang Dynasty, which is a talent.

After taking down the Liaodong city, Cheng Huaimo had sent someone to report to the Grand Marshal Li Ji. After all, it was not a trivial matter for his actions without permission. Now that he has achieved the results, the Grand Marshal still needs to send someone to preside over the defense of the city.

But he didn't know that Li Ji had already led his team to pursue the enemy to Yingzhou. Yizhi Wende was killed. The 40,000 Goguryeo soldiers who fled under Youzhou at that time were chased by the Tang army day and night, killing and capturing. Now they have arrived in Yingzhou, and they have been captured by all the five thousand vanguard troops guarding Yingzhou without any surprise.

"What? Huai Mo and the others went to attack Liaodong?" Li Ji was shocked.

"Yes, I've been out for three days. Calculate the time, maybe there will be a result." Li Chengdao, who stayed to guard the city, replied.

"Nothing is done, and only three thousand people will go to attack the city? Liaodong is a barrier to the west of Goguryeo. Why should he go to attack the city?" Li Ji scolded.

"At the beginning, the troops were insufficient, so I later sent Junior Brother Du Gou to the north to find Khitan aliens to borrow 50,000 troops, so 53,000 people went to attack the city, not three thousand."

Then Li Chengdao told Li Ji in detail about the plan to siege the city. Li Ji was shocked. Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, and Li Yuanji were all shocked.

Who thought of this? Using attack instead of defense? He was able to fight back. According to the calculations of these kids, there was a 90% chance of success.

Before Li Ji sent someone to inquire about the news, the good news in Liaodong City had already reached Yingzhou. He read the military newspaper in his hand three times in one breath. Li Ji shouted three times.

Cheng Yaojin next to him said anxiously: "Mr. Mao, let me show you whether my Dalang has the majesty of his father?"

Everyone laughed, and at this time, Cheng Yaojin was still showing off his son in disguise.

"Look at your own black face? You will stick gild on your face. What are your achievements? You are just a battlefield rushing to generals. Your nephew Huaimo is much better than you. He is handsome. Can you win Liaodong City with three thousand people?"

At this time, Niu Jinda shouted: "Master, I beg you to go to Liaodong City immediately!"

Everyone was puzzled, and Niu Jinda explained with tears in his eyes: "There is a Jingguan where Goguryeo thieves piled up my Chinese sons!"

After hearing this, everyone was silent. Li Ji pondered: "Old Niu, Huaimo wrote a letter saying that he wanted me to send someone to guard the city. Are you willing to sit in Liaodong City and guard the East Gate for the Tang Dynasty?"

"The last death is coming!"

"I will immediately ask Your Majesty to send a powerful civil minister and great scholar to pay tribute. The Jingguan in Liaodong City needs to be demolished, and the heroic souls of the boys will return to their territory."

In this more depressing atmosphere, Cheng Yaojin said something and instantly aroused everyone's murderous intent. "I remember something. Didn't I say that I would exchange prisoners for the people before? Now that I have taken Liaodong and saved the people, there is no need to replace the prisoners. Can we also kill them and pile them up with Jingguan?"

Hearing this reminder, Niu Jinda looked at Li Ji with red eyes. Li Ji looked at the generals below and sighed: "This matter cannot be done. Not to mention the unknown killing of prisoners, it is not that I am timid and dare not kill. Even if I massacre Goguryeo and kill the whole country, I, Li Ji, dare to avenge the warriors of the former Sui Sanzheng.

But it doesn't work at this time. We have no preparation or plan to destroy the country. Once the prisoners are killed publicly, it will arouse hatred in Goguryeo, which is not good for us and for them. So these prisoners will stay and work for me in the Tang Dynasty."

Everyone understood after hearing this. It was indeed what Li Ji said. Niu Jinda said he wanted to go to Liaodong immediately. Li Ji smiled and said, "I'm afraid we need to go together this time. These kids wrote to say that they wanted to expand the results of the battle. If we don't stop them, I'm afraid they dare to defeat half of Goguryeo and be plotted by the enemy again!"
