Chapter 382
In Pyongyang, fires soar into the sky.
The Sui army that once again entered Pyongyang was obviously not here to Hu'er, so they did not make the mistake of coming to Hu'er again.
After pretending to open the city gate, Luo Cheng personally committed suicide to the top of the city, while the Siye Cunxiao brothers led the light cavalry to continue to kill the inner city, just to catch the Goguryeo people off guard.
No one cares about the spoils of money and women. This is a good habit that the Luo family army has always formed. Before the battle ends, they cannot even cut off their heads, let alone robbery.
Compared with other Sui army, the biggest change that Luo Cheng brought to the Luo family army was the strict military discipline. Even looting was collective action and unified arrangements were absolutely prohibited, just like fighting. In the past few years, hundreds of people died under Luo Cheng's military law, the prohibition of privateing had penetrated into the bones of everyone in the Luo family army.
If the battle has not stopped, nothing will be discussed.
In the quiet night, no one would have thought that the Sui army would come to kill at this time, whether it was a king, aristocrat or a civilian slave.
They were already blinded by the successive victory, and even many nobles were celebrating the victory in advance. King Gao Yuan and his confidants were considering how to seize western Liaoning in the next step and how to further suppress the Yuan Taizuo party in order to continue to enhance the power and authority of the royal dynasty.
No one could have imagined that the Sui army would descend from the sky.
This is impossible.
Therefore, when the outer city shouted and killed the sky, and when Gao Yuan in the palace was awakened by the guards, his first reaction was not that the Sui army came over, but that Yuan Taizuo took advantage of the chaos to rebel.
"It must be the old man named Taizuo Yuan. He took advantage of the fact that Eji Wende and Jianwu were away from Pyongyang now, so he took the opportunity to attack. Damn old man, I must kill this old thief."
Gao Yuanqi was extremely corrupt, angry and shocked.
Since he ascended the throne, although he had revitalized the royal family in every way, Yuan Taizuo has always been a knife on his head. The old thief Yuan was strong and almost over him. He dreamed countless times that it would be great if he could get rid of this old thief.
Unexpectedly, before he could do it, the old thief took action first.
While angry, he was very frightened. At this time, there were only a few thousand guards in Pyongyang. Although Yuan Taizuo's forces were all on the front line of Liaodong, he was Mo Lizhi after all. There were still many gangs in Pyongyang, and there were many family soldiers and slave soldiers. At this time, he rebelled, and he didn't know whether he could defend it.
"King, it seems that it wasn't Mo Lizhi's rebellion, it seems that the Sui army came into the city." The guard said in panic.
"Impossible, the Sui army, where did the Sui army come from? The Sui army has been defeated and fled. How could it be that he came to Pyongyang? It must be the old man Yuan Taizuo, it must be him. He pretended to be the Sui army and entered the city. The person came, I immediately went to the inner city to search Yuan Taizuo and his family, and killed them all."
Gao Yuan, who was frightened, had already lost his mind at this time.
He and Yuan Taizuo have always maintained a very fragile balance, but everyone knows that this balance is too fragile and no one knows when it collapses.
Now, Gao Yuan undoubtedly believes that Yuan Taizuo took action in advance.
Since he has broken up, then kill him. Even if he dies, he will still take the family of the Yuan clan to the custody.
"But the outer city?"
"Don't worry about the outer city first, guard the inner city and palace city, and destroy all the Abyss Party first, so that they can't cooperate with the Abyss thieves in the outer city." Gao Yuan disheveled his hair, and was in his fifties, and he was used to being pampered in his usual habits. Now that the war has burned around him, he feels a little hysterical.
Outer city.
Luo Cheng had successfully seized the North City Gate, and the light cavalry led by Siye and Cunxiao also killed the defenders of the outer city who wanted to gather to resist.
Du Fuwei, Zhao Gui and other generals also led the infantry group into the city.
There were fire everywhere and killing everywhere, but the Five Left Army did not kill randomly, but was planning and targeted to seize the key points of the outer city.
City gate, main street, yamen, arsenal, granary, etc.
"General, the inner city gate was not captured at all. The Goguryeo reacted very quickly, but don't worry, there were very few soldiers in the inner city, and there seemed to be riots in the inner city, and there were also riots in the inner city, and there were shouts of killing everywhere, which was a bit inexplicable."
In front of the north gate of the inner city, Murong Changsheng reported to Luo Cheng in blood.
"The inner city is in chaos? Could it be that the inner city has the descendants of the Han family who are interested in me in the Great Sui Dynasty?" Luo Cheng thought to himself.
"Maybe." Murong Changsheng said.
One after another, the generals came to report.
"Take the North Gate."
"The east gate has also been taken down."
"Simon took it"
The South Gate was taken."
·········
By dawn, the left five army had 20,000 troops fought overnight, and had all cleared the resistance of the outer city and successfully controlled the outer city.
After a night of riots in the inner city, it finally subsided.
In the morning light, heads were thrown down on the north gate of the inner city.
Murong Changsheng and others were sighing that the descendants of the Han family had failed, but after a while, everyone was surprised to find that those heads seemed to be from the Han family.
Through the identification of Goguryeo officials captured in the outer city, everyone was shocked to find that the head that was thrown from the city was actually from the Yuan Taizuo family and their followers.
"What does it mean? Could it be that Yuan Taizuo wanted to cooperate with the inside and outside last night and wanted to capture Gao Yuan to surrender?" Yuchi Liang was puzzled.
"It should be unlikely."
Even if Luo Cheng killed in Pyongyang City, the Sui army had just suffered two major defeats. It can be said that this Eastern Expedition was basically over.
Although Goguryeo lost tens of thousands of people, his overall strength was not much loss, and there was no reason to surrender at this time, especially when Yuan Taizuo was a real power faction in Goguryeo, he had no reason to surrender.
Here, Gao Yuan appeared on the top of the city. He shouted loudly at the bottom, saying that Yuan Taizuo came out to see him, and also saying that Yuan Taizuo was shameless.
After listening to the translator for a long time, Wei Zheng and Luo Cheng couldn't help but feel happy.
It turned out that Gao Yuan actually regarded the Sui army as Yuan Taizuo's pretending to be.
“This is interesting.”
"hehe."
"What should I do now?" Murong Changsheng didn't know how to describe the current situation.
Luo Cheng smiled.
"Since Gao Yuan said that we were Yuan Taizuo's people, then just think it's right. Send someone to call Gao Yuan, saying that we were Yuan Taizuo's vanguards. Now that the 100,000 eastern army has arrived, we are going to kill Gao Yuan, change the dynasty, and let the guards in the inner city know the current affairs."
“Is it useful to say that?”
"It's good to disturb the morale of the army." Luo Cheng said with a smile. He still had to attack the city anyway.
Sure enough, after such a shout here, the defenders on the city were obviously panicked.
Now that the outer city is broken, the situation is unclear, no one knows which sentence is true and which sentence is false.
The rising sun rises, and golden light shines everywhere.
