Chapter 1152 The Doomsday of Goguryeo (8)

As mentioned earlier, Goguryeo actually has no potential for war. Although there are still some soldiers, most of these soldiers are master soldiers and cannot fight at all.

Goguryeo has been established for many years and has fought several wars with the Sui Dynasty. Although they were beaten terrible each time, they did defend the Yalu River in the end and did not allow any Sui army to cross to the east of the Yalu River.

When the Tang Dynasty was established, King Rongliu was afraid of Li Shimin, so while he was constantly building the Great Wall, he also sent all the elite soldiers and generals to the border. As for his pseudo Chang'an... all the defenders were children of some wealthy families or high-ranking families.

In this way, the soldiers will naturally become master soldiers. They are the best in terms of equipment and military pay, but in terms of war, they will run faster than rabbits.

It was because it was so easy to capture the capital of Goguryeo this time. Goguryeo's resistance was only symbolic and did not fight against the Tang army.

This caught everyone, including Li Daozong, off guard. He planned to sacrifice a large number of people to win, but he did not expect that the capital of Goguryeo had been completely captured after less than two hundred deaths.

"Master General, can this Goguryeo Imperial City still be fought? Then the little emperor said that if we attack, he will destroy the palace." Xiao Duan stood in front of the gate of Goguryeo Imperial City with some excitement, looking at the nervous defenders above to ask Li Daozong for advice.

"It's like this if it's destroyed or not. Could it be that you still want to quit?" Li Daozong also observed the imperial city and answered subconsciously.

All the old man thought about was how to break through the imperial city. As for whether Gao Zang would destroy the capital by himself, Li Daozong could say with certainty: No more now.

Why? Because most people in Goguryeo no longer have the will to fight, they just want to surrender now. Maybe Gao Zang wants to die, maybe others want him to die, but when most people want to live, they have no ability to burn the entire palace.

"It's impossible to quit. My nephew is just thinking about whether we can fight a little bit and scare this kid to death." Duan Zan said as if he was not at all four or six.

Since the war has been fought, there is nothing to say. Whether it is Gao Zang or Yuan Gaisuwen, these people cannot make up any big waves even if they have great abilities.

In the past, they had a city to rely on, but now the pseudo Chang'an has been controlled by the Liaodong Legion. With just one imperial city, even if there are strong soldiers, it is difficult to achieve great things without logistics supplies.

Unless the 20,000 troops in his imperial city are all heroes who are not afraid of death, they may be able to protect them and rush out with a bloody path.

And it is only limited to rushing out. If you want to turn defeat into victory, don’t even think about it.

Because although there are only 60,000 people in the Liaodong Legion, the occupied cities have a large number of Tang Dynasty defenders garrisons. Even if the Liaodong Legion is destroyed by them, in less than a month, a second Liaodong Legion will reach the pseudo Chang'an.

"The chief manager, the last 30,000 Goguryeo people have been brought in. I wonder if they can attack them?" As Li Daozong and Duan Zan chatted, the two brothers of the Cheng family ran over panting.

"Take them in and tell them that as long as they can open the city gate, I will let them be free, otherwise..." Li Daozong took a deep breath and issued an order that made him very confused.

The people who were taken up were Goguryeo, but no matter what, these people were civilians, which made Li Daozong feel a little reluctant.

However, he also knew that this would indeed kill his subordinates. Although the ideas that these dandy people in the Liaodong Legion were a little poisonous, it was indeed a good idea.

Thirty thousand Goguryeo people were forced to approach the wall of the imperial city by spears and crossbows, and looked up at the trembling defenders above...

"Miss third son, you bastard, why don't you surrender and wait for anything? Do you want to wait for the whole family to be killed?"

"Sigou, come out quickly and surrender. If we don't surrender, we will all be unable to survive."

"Fat baby, save us. If you don't surrender for an hour, we will all die."

Thrilling shouts rang out outside the imperial city, and Goguryeo, who was frightened by the Tang army, shouted wildly, either slapped the city gate or the city wall. In order to survive, they almost forgot some.

"General, open the city, we have no chance."

"Can't open the city, everyone is ready to fight."

The people outside were quarreling, and the soldiers and officers in the city were also arguing. There might be their parents and relatives among the people outside, so how could these soldiers who were not interested in fighting again?

At this time, the news of the people siegeing the city had been sent into the palace. After hearing the news, the new emperor, His Majesty Gao Zang, sat down dejectedly, and looked at Yuan Gaisuwen on the side with resentful eyes: "My dear, you, what do you think now?"

What should I do? Yuan Gai Suwen also wanted to know what to do, but no one could ask him now, so he could only sigh in his heart: His heart is higher than the sky, and his life is thinner than paper.

He Yuan Gai Suwen has great ambitions and great perseverance. If it weren't... If it weren't for the useless man from Rongliu Wang Gao Jianwu, Goguryeo would definitely not be like this now.

If Gao Jianwu hadn't been too cautious about the Tang Dynasty and kept building the Great Wall, how could it arouse Li Shimin's vigilance?

If Gao Jianwu hadn't been persistent in refusing to return the remains of the Han people in the former Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, how could it have attracted the attack of the Tang army?

If Gao Jianwu had not been cowardly and incompetent, which had caused the Goguryeo officialdom to be corrupt and a large number of aspiring people were framed to death, how could the huge Goguryeo have no general available?

Of course, the most important thing is that Gao Jianwu has been reluctant to give up the throne and is unwilling to be a puppet. If he is willing, Goguryeo will definitely rise under the rule of Heyuan Gaisuwen. Even if he faces the millions of powerful troops in the Tang Dynasty, what can I do?

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now. Goguryeo is over. Even if the outer city is not lost, how many days can Goguryeo last? Even if the Tang Dynasty really retreated, how can Goguryeo, which only has an isolated city, escape from the clutches of the other two neighbors?

Although Silla and Baekje are constantly sending people to contact Goguryeo, it is because they do so because there are more than 100,000 defenders in the city.

If they knew that these defenders were just fancy and unused, they would be the first to rush up without waiting for the Tang Dynasty to attack.

"Da Mo Lizhi, it's just an hour. Look, what should we do?" After a long time, facing the speechless Yuan Gaisuwen, Gao Zang asked again.

"Don't think about it anymore, open the palace gate and we surrender!"
