Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 443 Exhausted
It took Quangai Suwen two days to run back and forth between Wandu City and Pyongyang with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. As a result, the enemy did not meet him, but he was exhausted.

These temporarily recruited soldiers were not trained, and the two-day long journey exhausted their last ounce of strength. After returning to Wandu City, many of them even fell asleep leaning against the corner of the wall.

Seeing this scene, Quan Gai Suwen also knew that they had to rest for a while, otherwise, they might have been knocked down by exhaustion before they had fought Tang Jun.

In fact, Quangai Suwen didn't sleep well for two days, but he couldn't sleep. When the Goguryeo soldiers were resting, he waited for his bloodshot eyes to think about countermeasures, thinking about how to save the unfavorable situation in front of him.

"It is impossible to ask for peace from the Tang Dynasty. If you ask for peace from Silla, Silla will definitely not agree. Baekje is also ready to move now. Last time they asked them to send troops to help them, they didn't care at all. If it goes on like this, Goguryeo It's over, no, I have to figure out a way..."

After thinking for a while, he found that he couldn't think of anything.

Therefore, since the Tang army entered Goguryeo in more than ten days, every step has exceeded his expectations. It can even be said that every step of the Tang army has subverted his understanding of war!

It was a feeling beyond his control, which made Quan Gai Suwen feel unprecedented fear, so he gave up his usual idea of ​​main battle and chose to seek peace.

Quan Gai Suwen hoped that by suing for peace, he would alleviate the current unfavorable situation for him, and at the same time buy some time for him to compete with Tang Jun after he regained his breath.

Just like his ancestors did to the Sui Dynasty.

It's a pity that he was disappointed. He never expected that a great country like Datang would play the trick of "stealing chicken" with him regardless of face, making his unfavorable situation even more unfavorable. Too much.

Quangai Suwen's intuition told him that if he did not take action, Goguryeo would perish!

Thinking of this, Quan Gai Suwen couldn't calm down at all. In the end, he only thought of a solution that was not a solution.

"If you want to save Goguryeo, you must defeat the Tang people. There is no other way, but with my current strength, if I go to compete with the Tang army for the city, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. The only way to win is to take advantage of the Tang army. Attack them while attacking the city."

After coming up with a general direction, Quan Gai Suwen's head became active, so he began to think about specific implementation methods.

"I can send people to lure the enemy first, pretend to be defeated, and lure them to attack Marutu Castle. At the same time, I can ambush the army outside the city. When they attack the city, I will fall behind and use the advantage of defending the city to defeat them in one fell swoop. Yes, do it!"

Quan Gai Suwen spent the whole night finally figuring out how to deal with Tang Jun.

But to their disappointment, Tang Jun in Ji'an City ignored them at all. Once they approached, Tang Jun directly shot them with bows and arrows.

Seeing Tang Jun who was locked up outside the city gate, Quan Gai Suwen frowned immediately.

"I only sent 5 people to lure the enemy, but the Tang army was unmoved. In this situation, either the Tang army is cautious, or their strength is not enough. Could it be that there are only less than 2 defenders in the city?"

Thinking of this, Quan Gai Suwen suddenly thought of attacking Ji'an City, but soon, he extinguished this thought.

"Maybe this is the Tang army's strategy to lure the enemy. Once I attack Ji'an City, they will join forces inside and outside to wipe me out of Ji'an City, and then attack Wandu City or Pyongyang, the royal city of Goguryeo!"

It has to be said that Quan Gai Suwen is very good at empathy. After summarizing Tang Jun's tactics with his own strategy, he finally came to a conclusion.

Not only could he not attack Ji'an City, but he had to divide his troops to garrison Wandu City and Pyongyang.

If Ji'an City had not fallen before, Ji'an City, Wandu City, and Pyongyang were an "iron triangle", and he only needed to wait in Pyongyang. No matter whether Datang wanted to attack Wandu City or Ji'an City, he would be able to respond in time .

But now that Ji'an City is lost, the originally strong iron triangle is missing a corner, and the defense has become unstable, and he can't give up Wandu City. Besides, there is no other way.

During this period of time, Quangai Suwen desperately recruited strong men in Pyongyang and Wandu City, and finally gathered more than 60 troops, ready to fight the Tang army. There are 30 soldiers and horses.

Quan Gai Su Wen is not stupid, he knows Tang Jun's fighting power, and it's okay to defend the city with soldiers and horses. If he fights Tang Jun hard, he may be dealt with in two or three rounds.

Thinking of this, Quan Gai Suwen felt particularly unwilling.

"Damn Tang Jun! It seems that we can only wait for an opportunity, waiting for a chance for Tang Jun to make a mistake."

With this in mind, Quangai Suwen left 30 soldiers and horses in Wandu City, and he took the remaining 30 soldiers and horses to Pyongyang.

This time, Quangai Suwen did not choose to march in a hurry. In order to prevent the soldiers from getting too tired and maintain a certain combat effectiveness, it took him two days to return to Pyongyang.

"Finally home!"

Looking at the city gate of Pyongyang City with a salary increase, Quan Gai Suwen couldn't help showing a little smile on his face.

"I didn't expect these guys to be useful. When I was away, they still knew how to repair the city gate, uh...repair the city gate? No!"

Quan Gai Suwen's eyes widened when he realized the problem. When he raised his head, he found that there was an extra row of flags on the tower, and the same word "Tang" was written on these flags.

"Pyongyang has fallen?"

At this time, if Quan Gai Suwen still doesn't understand, then he is too stupid, it's better even if he understands, but he just finds it unbelievable.

"When did it fall? Why haven't I received any news?"

Although Quan Gai Suwen still had a lot of puzzles in his heart, he also understood that Pyongyang City had indeed fallen. After all, no one would be idle and bored to plant the flags of other countries on the towers of their homes.

At this moment, Quan Gai Suwen felt that the sky was about to collapse.

"My God, can there be anything worse than this?"

It seems to have sensed Quan Gai Suwen's thoughts, and the reality told Quan Gai Suwen in its unique way——Yes!

"Report! Report to Lu, the scouts outside the city of Wandu have heard that the Tang army is attacking the city of Wandu!"

"what!"

After receiving this news, Quan Gai Suwen suddenly felt dizzy. He yelled and fell off his horse.

Seeing this scene, several soldiers hurried forward to help him up, shouting while supporting him.

"Great to Lu!"

"What's wrong with you, Lu!"

"Come on, come on..."

It took the soldiers a long time to wake up Quan Gai Suwen.

When Quan Gai Suwen opened his eyes, he shouted hoarsely.

"Marutu Castle cannot be lost, hurry... hurry back to Wandu Castle... hurry back and reinforce Wandu Castle!"
