Chapter 105 Blocking
Xue Rengui led the front army into the city, and the first thing he did was to change the city gate and use the Goguryeo Army's equipment to completely stabilize the situation in Pyongyang's West Gate.
After that, the dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty was inserted on the top of the city of Pyongyang City, opened the city gates and welcomed Li Ji's army.
Goguryeo was able to survive under the attack of the Tang army, and what she relied on was the solid Pyongyang City. If Pyongyang City had not been lost, it would have been defeated many times with the Goguryeo army in the city.
Now, the moment the Tang army's dragon flag was planted on the top of Pyongyang City, it means that Pyongyang City has been broken, and the Goguryeo army has no capital to resist the Tang army, which also means that the Goguryeo people have lost their country.
The Tang army got the gate, and Li Ji's army entered Pyongyang, but it was not Xue Rengui who greeted Li Ji, but Xue Rengui's deputy general Qi Zhu Heli.
"The West Gate has been decided. Please ask the general to enter the city." Qi Bi Heli stood in front of Li Jima and said to Li Ji.
Li Ji looked around and did not find Xue Rengui's figure. He asked, "Where is General Qiezi, where is Xue Dupu?"
Cher Heli replied truthfully: "Pyongyang City was broken, and the Protector was worried that Yuan Gaisuwen would escape after receiving the news, so he finally arranged the matter of collecting the city after getting the city. He had already led three thousand light cavalry into the city and killed Yuan Gaisuwen."
It turned out that in order to do his best, Xue Rengui no longer gave Goguryeo any chance to breathe, and had already led his troops to Yuen Gaisuwen's mansion to capture the thief and the king.
Li Ji knew that Li Ji would not be surprised, after all, he was in a hurry to follow the power. If he reported everything, Xue Rengui would not be Xue Rengui.
Li Ji said: "The Prophet Xue Dudu is doing a good job in this matter. You immediately lead troops to the city to support the Prophet Xue Dudu, and capture the land needed by the granary and arsenal in the city."
After Li Ji got the city, he ordered people to seize the remaining three gates at night and completely occupy Pyongyang; while he ordered Qiheli to occupy the granary and arsenal to support Xue Rengui.
At this moment, when the Tang army was out everywhere, Yuan Gaisuwen's Damoli Branch Mansion, which was still a little distance from Ximen, had not received any news at the first time. However, he had just dealt with King Gaozang's affairs and was about to go to bed to rest.
"Thump thump thump thump..."
"Dongdongdongdongdong..."
First there was a burst of rapid footsteps, then a shower-like knock on the door rang in the ears of Yon Gassuwen, who was already sitting by the bed and about to go to bed.
Yuan Gaisuwen couldn't help frowning when he heard the voice in his ears. Today, he had been busy dealing with King Gao Zang for a day, and he was in a very bad mood. Now he was disturbed by someone when he was about to fall asleep, so he would inevitably feel a little unhappy.
Yuan Gaisuwen asked, "Who is outside the house?"
The person who can walk directly to the door of Yuan Gaisuwen's bedroom at this time is naturally not an ordinary person, but the second son Yuan Na-jian, who is favored by Yuan Gaisuwen.
Yuan Nanjian had no intention of taking care of Yuan Gaisuwen's feelings anymore. When he heard Yuan Gaisuwen's voice, he knew that he had not yet rested, so he hurriedly said: "Dad, something is wrong. Just now, the defenders in the city heard news that the Tang army broke through the west gate and had entered the city."
It was already late. If it weren't for the past, if it weren't for the trouble of King Gaozang, Yuan Gaisuwen would have had a long rest. Now Yuan Gaisuwen was very sleepy, but just after Yuan Na-jian's words came into Yuan Gaisuwen's ears, Yuan Gaisuwen was shocked and suddenly became awake and had no sleepiness.
At first, Yoon Gaisuwen couldn't accept what Yoon Na-jian said immediately, so she first asked Yoon Na-jian confirmation: "What did you say?"
Yuan Nanjian replied again: "Dad, the Tang army has broken through the west gate, the Tang army has entered the city, and the Pyongyang City has been broken."
Yuan Nanjian's words made Yuan Gai Suwen confirm that he had heard it correctly. He was very surprised and then asked: "Is this news still accurate?"
Yuan Nanjian replied: "The person who sent the message was my confidant, so you will never be wrong."
Yuan Nanjian's words completely wiped out the last glimmer of hope in Yuan Gaisuwen's heart. Yuan Gaisuwen quickly got up and opened the door.
When he arrived outside the door, Yuan Gai Suwen looked at Yuan Nanjian standing at the door, holding Yuan Nanjian's shoulder, and asked excitedly: "How could this be so? Ximen and Xincheng's army guarded. Even if the Tang army attacked the city, we would not get the news until this time."
Yuan Gaisuwen's doubts are indeed reasonable. In Ximen, there are 5,000 elite troops led by Xincheng. Even if the Tang army took advantage of the night to attack the city, it would not be possible to capture it in a short time. With such a big disturbance, there is no reason why Yuan Gaisuwen only received the news at this time.
Yuan Nanjian said: "Looking at the movements in the West City, it seems that there is no war, nor is there any movements that should be siege in the city."
"What do you mean?" Yuan Gassuwen asked.
Yuan Nanjian sighed and replied: "The Tang army won the west gate of Pyongyang City without fighting. This Xincheng probably took the initiative to surrender."
Yuan Gai Suwen was so smart. He had never thought about it much in panic, so he didn't think about it. But now after hearing what Yuan Nanjian said, he immediately figured out the link. Yuan Nanjian was right. Even if the Tang army had strong combat power, it would never be possible to quietly seize the Ximen defending heavily at night. It must be that the Ximen guard Xincheng surrendered with the city.
"Finding and sincerity hurt me, and boy Yuan misled me!" Yuan Gaisuwen shouted.
In addition to the dilemma that no one is available at the moment, there is another important reason, that is, because In the eldest son of Ingres, Yuan, the son of Ingres, is very close to Ingres, Xincheng is considered a general of Ingres, but now it seems that Ingres, Xincheng has let down Ingres, Yuan, the trust of Ingres.
Seeing this, Yuan Nanjian said to Yuan Gai Suwen: "Dad, it's not the time to blame these things. It's a foregone conclusion that the Tang army will break the city. Sooner or later, it will attack the mansion. The most urgent task at the moment is to quickly evacuate while the north gate and the east gate are still in our hands."
Yuan Nanjian was decisive, and Yuan Gaisuwen was not the one who could not let go. Yuan Gaisuwen immediately responded: "What you said is that you should immediately integrate your troops and break through from the east gate with me."
Yuan Nanjian heard that Yoon Gaisuwen wanted to break through the east gate, and asked in confusion: "Dad, why don't we break through the north gate? We can only run eastward to Silla. Silla and our Goguryeo have always been incompatible and will never accommodate us father and son."
Yuan Gaisuwen said: "Although you can escape for a while, the north is within the power of the Tang army and it is difficult to last long. When we go east, we are not Silla, but Japan. Japan has just fought against the Tang army, and the two countries have formed blood feuds. Japan will definitely take us in, and we can wait for an opportunity to make a comeback."
Yuan Nanjian said, "What Dad said is, let's go to Japan."
Yuan Nanjian said, going out with Yuan Gaisuwen, and without even getting rid of it, he was ready to run away.
Yuan Gaisuwen's reaction and movements were not slow, but he never expected that Xue Rengui's movements were faster. After Xue Rengui captured the city gate, he did not have any unnecessary wait and directly led the light cavalry to Yuan Gaisuwen's mansion to fight.
Just as Yuan Gai Suwen hurried to the gate of Damoli Branch, he was hitting Xue Rengui who was coming.
