Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3405 The end of the royal family
In the wind and snow, Pingrang City, which was besieged by hundreds of thousands of Tang troops, has never been captured, but the strong and thick walls of the past have already been riddled with holes.Corpses piled up like mountains above and below the city. Even though preparations had been made and enough troops and supplies had been mobilized in the city, the Tang army's fierce offensive still caused heavy losses to the Goguryeo people. They could only support themselves under the severe cold. At the end of the crossbow, the Tang army could capture the city wall and enter the city at any time.

Pessimism spread in the city of Ping Rang. The Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo three times and all failed, which made Goguryeo full of a kind of pride and conceit. However, as the Tang army continued to attack, this pride and conceit had already accompanied the sky. The wind and snow gradually dissipated.

Almost all Goguryeo people realized that they were no longer as lucky as they used to be. Facing the Tang army's offensive this time, Goguryeo's fall was imminent.

However, on a snowy morning, the Tang army besieging Ping Rang City like wolves and tigers suddenly receded like a tidal wave...

The Goguryeo soldiers with broken armor and broken bones on the top of the city had already thought of surrendering countless times in their hearts. When they saw the Tang army retreating quickly and gathering in the distance, they couldn't believe their eyes.

Tang Jun...retired?
Suddenly, earth-shattering cheers erupted from the city wall, and all Goguryeo soldiers cheered with all their strength for their own resurrection.Cheers came from the top of the city, and soon the whole city had learned the news of the Tang army's retreat, and the whole Pingrang city was thundering with joy. I don't know how many common people and merchants rushed to the streets, raising their arms and shouting.

……

In Damolizhi Mansion, laughter and morale were high.

Everyone knows that once the Tang army breaks through the city, the Goguryeo army will be hard to resist, and the country's collapse will only happen overnight.And when the Tang army captures the whole city, Damo Lizhi Mansion and the whole family will not escape the death penalty. Then fell into a panic.

Although Goguryeo has several precedents of defeating the invasion of the Sui army, the situation of the Tang army coming in full force and rushing forward is quite different from the past. The Goguryeo army is vulnerable to the more elite Tang army. Being pulled out one by one, the entire Pingrang City is like a hedgehog stripped of its thorns, and it will collapse at any time.

However, in such despair, Tang Jun took the initiative to retreat...

No one cares what the intention of the Tang army's retreat is, they only care that Ping Rang City can be kept alive so that everyone can continue to live.

However, before the soldiers and civilians in the entire city were overjoyed, the order of Damo Lizhi Mansion was issued to all the defending troops-to attack with all their strength and hunt down the Tang army!

The common people are okay, most of them don't understand military affairs, and they just feel that this move is really boosting their spirits.Passively beaten all the way, there is no room for retaliation, and this time he can also vent his anger.However, the military expressed their shock: Since the Tang army retreated, let him retreat. No matter what the reason for the Tang army's retreat, its combat effectiveness will not decrease. Previously, the defenders relied on the city wall to resist desperately, but if they chased out of the city, Once the Tang army turned around and broke out in a field battle, no amount of Goguryeo troops would be enough for the Tang army to kill!

However, Yuan Gai Suwen ignored the opposing voices from all over the military and insisted on going his own way, ordering that Tang Jun should be dragged to Liaodong no matter what the cost!
……

Compared with the elation and joy of surviving near death in Damolizhi Mansion, the palace of Goguryeo was full of gloom and mist.

Gao Baozang knelt and sat alone in the main hall, looking at the panicked and frightened palace servants and waiters scurrying around like flies, he was completely dazed.

How could the Tang army withdraw its troops?

Starting from Liaodong City, they rushed all the way to Ping Rang City, and most of Goguryeo's army was wiped out. Ping Rang City can't hold on for a few days and is about to be captured, but why is it that victory is at your fingertips? , but withdrew?
Naturally, whether to fight or not to fight is your own business, but the problem is that your Tang people suddenly withdraw their troops, what should I do?
The reason why Yuan Gai Suwen had been restrained before and never got involved in the throne was because of internal and external troubles, he did not dare to do the evil thing of slaughtering the royal family, which made the center of Ping Rang City revolt against the royal family's military and civilian officials, ruining the city's defense plan.

However, the current situation has suddenly reversed. This battle caused more than half of the civilian casualties in Ping Rang City. Even the survivors have experienced the torment of the war. Who would fight desperately with Yuan Gai Su Wen for the death of the royal family?Once Yuan Gai Suwen slaughtered the royal family with his troops, there were certainly some objections, but most of them were just a few words of innocuous condemnation, and then let it go...

Without the oppression of the Tang Army from outside, Yuangai Suwen in Pingrang City can be said to be covering the sky with one hand. All the troops obey his orders. As long as he gives an order, countless soldiers will break through the palace in an instant and slaughter all the royal families. .

Just as he was thinking wildly, there was a sudden burst of crying and shouting from the footsteps outside, which shocked him. When he looked up, he saw the concubine Gao Anshun running quickly. He stumbled and rolled on the ground when he got up, his hair was disheveled, and he described himself as embarrassed.

Gao Anshun came to Gao Baozang in three steps at a time, and shouted: "Father, what a disaster! Yuan Nan gave birth to that animal and brought troops to kill him into the palace!"

"what?!"

Gao Baozang yelled, scared out of his wits, and asked anxiously: "Where are your elder brothers? Call them quickly!"

Gao Anshun cried: "Brothers are leading the guards against the traitors!"

Gao Baozang didn't care about those sons anymore, he got up quickly and walked back, saying in a loud voice: "Hurry up, hurry up, bring someone to escort and escape from the secret path for father!"

Gao Anshun knelt there without moving, and cried: "Now that the Tang army has withdrawn, there is an army of abyssal thieves inside and outside the city. Even if my father escapes by secret means, he will not escape his murderous hand!"

There are many secret passages in the palace, but most of the exits are inside the city, and the few exits outside the city are only near the city wall. These areas are all under the control of the army. If you go out of the secret passages, you will be killed. He was immediately arrested and sent to Zhiyuan Gai Suwen...

"Ah! How can this be done?"

Gao Baozang stomped his feet anxiously as if waking up from a dream.

Outside the palace gate, the sound of shouting and killing could be heard clearly, and the whole palace was in chaos, with countless palace servants and waiters screaming and crying.

Who would have thought that Yuan Gai Su Wen would be so vicious, when the Tang army withdrew, he sent people into the palace to assassinate the king!
Apparently, Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't stand the coveting of the throne for a long time, and he didn't care what conspiracy Tang Jun was hiding, let alone whether the situation would deteriorate again, or even whether Tang Jun would come back again. I just want to slaughter the royal family and sit on the throne of my dreams!
As for how the situation changes afterwards, that is another matter.

Otherwise, the Tang army would besiege the city again like before, and even captured the city and died in a fierce battle. Before dying, he would not be able to set foot on the supreme throne of Goguryeo, and he would not be able to rest in peace when he died!
The army rushed into the palace like a tide, and slaughtered the servants and guards wantonly when they saw them. insult.

The Goguryeo royal family, which has been passed down for 600 years, was destroyed and slaughtered on this day, and the blood descendants were cut off.

……

In Damo Lizhi's mansion, countless soldiers gathered inside and outside the mansion, cheering and cheering.

In the hall, the wives, concubines and maidservants served Yuan Gai Suwen to put on the royal robe with gold silk embroidered dragon pattern that had been prepared for many years, tied up his hair, and put on a golden crown, which was shining brightly and overwhelming the world.

After all the attire was put on, everyone in the hall prostrated themselves on the ground, shouting: "See Your Majesty!"

The sound came out of the hall, and countless fans inside and outside the mansion raised their arms and shouted: "See Your Majesty!" They all fell to the ground, and the dense crowd stretched to the long street in front of the mansion. In a blink of an eye, Yuan Gai Su The news of Wen ascending the throne spread throughout the city.

Although some people resisted and resisted, more people sincerely supported Yuan Gai Su Wen's enthronement as king.

After accumulating prestige for many years, Yuan Gai Suwen's reputation climbed to the peak at the moment when the Tang army retreated, and no one could stop him from ascending the coveted throne!

Yuan Gai Su Wen was full of ambition, looked up to the sky and smiled.

But right beside him, the Yuan boy kneeling at his feet was like sifting chaff, terrified.

All his calculations were based on the fact that the Tang army broke into the city and Goguryeo was completely destroyed. But who would have thought that the invincible Tang army would suddenly withdraw without warning, and besieged like a Tietong would be overthrown at any time. The ancient city of Pingrang was miraculously preserved, and the emperor directly ascended to the throne of Goguryeo, which he had coveted for a long time...
