Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Yanshou's eyelids slowly drooped, his consciousness began to blur, and the massive blood loss made him

He is on the verge of death!
He slowly closed his eyes, a look of relief on his face.

"what!

However, the next second, a sudden severe pain woke him up.

In the thigh, there seemed to be the dagger held by Cheng Yaojin stuck!
One knife! Two knives! Three knives! Four knives! Five knives
Cheng Yaojin stabbed him fifty times in a row!

His whole body was a mess of blood and flesh!
There's not a single piece of good meat in the bloody mess!
But the sword avoided the vital parts, and Yanshou did not die despite the torture!

"Cheng Yaojin...you...you will...die a miserable death...you will...die a miserable death..."

Yanshou thought Cheng Yaojin would give up, but was horrified to find that he changed his approach.

The dagger was picked up again, and the cold blade cut into Yanshou's skin.

A full thousand knives! Yanshou finally bled to death in regret and fear!

...I'd better not provoke General Cheng in the future... He is really angry.
Even though Gao Shun was used to seeing his subordinates being killed and countless dead souls dying, he still felt a chill when he saw this scene.

"The general is dead! The general is dead! Run!"

"They are all devils! Run!"

Yanshou's death could no longer stop Li Kuan and the Goguryeo soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp from fleeing in panic.

When a tree falls, the fish scatter! In just a moment, the more than 3,000 Goguryeo soldiers who were not massacred fled.

"Want to escape? Brothers! Chase him!"

Gao Shun killed several people in front of him with a single sword. Seeing that most of the Goguryeo soldiers had already fled, he shouted to his brothers and wanted to take advantage of the victory to attack.

Pei Min, on the other side, had already started chasing after him with a sword in hand.

"Pei Min! Gao Shun! Come back! Don't chase after the desperate enemy!"

Li Kuan put away the black spear and called everyone to stop.

"Your Majesty... those soldiers have no fighting power at this time. This is a good opportunity to pursue them..."

Pei Min was a little anxious, his eyes were bloodshot, and his sword was dripping with blood. He was already bloodthirsty!
The broken limbs and arms on the ground made him look extremely creepy!
"Don't chase after a desperate enemy. We are here to rescue the old demon."

"Yes!"

Pei Min did not insist and stood aside. His breath was restrained, but the bloodiness in his body could not be shaken off.

"The old demon, he is already dead."

Li Qiu asked everyone to rest on the spot, and then came behind Cheng Yaojin and put his hand on his shoulder.

At this time, the old demon was still inserting the dagger into Yanshou's body again and again. Yanshou had already turned into a pile of minced meat, no longer in human form.

Blood and flesh splattered, staining Cheng Yaojin's face red.

"Brothers... I, Cheng Yaojin, have avenged you... I have avenged you."

The old goblin seemed not to notice Li Kuan's arrival. He continued with his actions and muttered to himself.

"Old demon... calm down... the dead are gone... now that you have avenged them, the soldiers can rest in peace..."

Li Kuan was silent for a moment, and then comforted.

"Gao Shun! Take your men and escort the old demon back to Yanyun City!"

Li Kuan frowned as he looked at Cheng Yaojin, who was in a bad condition.

"Yes!"

Gao Shun and several soldiers stepped forward and helped up Cheng Yaojin who was slumped on the ground.

"No! Li Kuan! I won't go back! I want to stay in Yanyun City and fight the enemy!"

Cheng Yaojin's originally dull eyes suddenly became firm, and he pushed Gao Shun beside him away.

"Old devil, why do you have to be so stubborn... This time you have avenged the soldiers, and leave the rest to me."

Li Kuan looked at the old demon covered in wounds, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

If it were an ordinary time, he would definitely not stop the old goblin from going to the battlefield.

But the old demon is in such a state now, it would be easy for something bad to happen on the battlefield!

"I'm fine! I'll be fine after a few days of recuperation! There are still so many Goguryeo barbarians waiting for me, Cheng Yaojin, to understand! Don't worry, I won't fall so easily."

Cheng Yaojin picked up his axe, walked aside to bandage his wound, and seemed to have made up his mind.

".Gao Shun, look at him."

Li Kuan gave Cheng Yaojin a warning look and spoke unhappily to Gao Shun beside him.

……

An hour passed quickly.

On the hillside, among thousands of corpses, Li Kuan and a group of soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp were still resting.

"Li Kuan, what are our plans next?"

The old goblin suddenly came over, and some color had returned to his face.

"Raid the heart of Goguryeo!"

Li Kuan did not hesitate and spoke very clearly.
"Hmm? We are just a few hundred people, going to attack the hinterland city?

The old demon may have recovered from his previous grief, and his face has regained its former spirit.
He widened his eyes, as if he was shocked by Li Kuan's words.

"Any questions?"

Li Kuan tilted his head and glanced at the old witch, and that look was saying...

I think it's normal, no big deal!

"We can go chase after those deserters! How can a siege be accomplished by a team of a few hundred people?"

The old witch gave Li Kuan a cold look.

Although he did not deny that Li Kuan was extremely powerful, the soldiers in his camp were all extremely brave.

But attacking a city is different from pursuing the enemy!
Such a big, tall and sturdy city cannot be conquered by just a few hundred people!
"What's wrong, old devil? Didn't you ask to go to the battlefield with us just now? Why are you so timid now? Why don't you go back to Yanyun City first?"

Li Kuan smiled and glanced at him again.

"Well. When have I, Cheng Yaojin, ever been afraid? I have never been afraid of death! But it is not appropriate to go deep into the hinterland this time! How about we meet up with Yuchi Laohei and capture the new city first? It will be convenient to act with a large army in hand."

The old witch glared at Li Kuan.

Now under the siege of Yanshou, he has never been afraid of such a situation, so how could he be afraid now?
But he didn't want to see his brothers make unnecessary sacrifices again.

"Under normal circumstances, we may not be able to do this, but it is different now. Now our army is approaching and we are attacking from the outside in three directions. If you were the King of Goguryeo, how would you respond?"

Li Kuan saw the confusion on Cheng Yaojin's face and said lightly.

"This... facing such a powerful enemy, of course we must gather the strength of the entire country and stop it at all costs."

After pondering for a moment, the old goblin gave his answer, but his eyes gradually lit up as he spoke.

“Since the power of the whole country has been gathered, where did this power go?”

Li Kuan had already mounted his war horse at this time, and the soldiers beside him were also ready to go.

"You mean the defenders of the cities in the hinterland will be deployed to the front line? The defenses of those cities are weak right now?"

The old goblin seemed to have thought of the key and exclaimed, slapping his head.

“Who would have thought that when the fighting on the front lines was fierce, a team of only a few hundred people would take a detour to the city in the heart of Goguryeo... If that were the case, we would definitely be able to catch it off guard!” The old goblin murmured with his eyes wide open, his face full of light.

"drive!"

Li Kuan did not say anything. He just waved the reins in his hand and the warhorse under him galloped out wildly.

The soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp also set off immediately and followed Li Kuan.

"Hey... brat! Wait for me! I'm still a wounded soldier!"

From the back of the team came Cheng Yaojin's somewhat exasperated voice.

A moment later, the group disappeared in front of the small hill.

All that was left was a mess and cold corpses all over the ground.

From time to time, vultures flew across the sky. The place was dead silent, without a trace of life.

At the same time, Goguryeo New City.

"What should I do... What should I do..."

On the city wall, Huizhen looked at the corpses on the ground and the crumbling city gate, and couldn't help but cry.

At this moment, he finally understood why the commander beside him was defeated by the Great Yan army.

No one can withstand a crossbow phalanx with that kind of firepower!

The city gate, which was usually indestructible, was now about to be breached.

"Now is not the time to be discouraged. The enemy's attack has stopped. Their crossbows may not be enough. Let's strengthen our defense first."

The coach did not take advantage of the situation at this time.

Because he knew very well that even if the attack of the Great Flame Army would stop temporarily, it would definitely not end there!

It would be better to take this opportunity to take a break and make some preparations.

"Yes, yes, yes... Let's go reinforce the defense now!"

Hui Zhen woke up as if from a dream, and took action immediately after she realized what was happening.

First, they cleaned up the mess on the city wall and replaced the garrison with new ones.

Then he sent people to reinforce the city gate and guard the crumbling city gate.

the other side.

"General Yuchi, what should we do next?"

A general came to Yuchi Laohei
"Send out the siege ladders! Use the eight-ox crossbows! Send out 10,000 vanguard troops, seven of them will climb the city wall and occupy the tower, and three thousand will break down that broken door!"

Yuchi Laohei looked at the situation on the opposite side from a distance, and then said.

In a siege, breaking through the city gates and capturing the city towers are undoubtedly the top priorities.

The Eight Ox Crossbow is so powerful! It is perfect for siege!
"Yes! I will do it right away!"

The general clasped his fists slightly and said this, then hurried down to start deploying troops.

A moment later, the army began to move.

The Eight-Ox Crossbow Phalanx launched a new round of volleys, and the huge city wall was densely packed with countless huge crossbow arrows.

The 10,000-strong vanguard army was divided into two groups.

Three thousand soldiers protected the huge battering ram and rushed towards the tall city gate that was already full of cracks.

The remaining 7,000 troops launched a fearless charge and attacked the city wall.

"Quick! Stop them!"

The city wall is a barrier that protects everything inside the city.

If the city wall was captured by the enemy, such a big city would be exposed to the enemy's swords!
Huizhen was shocked when she saw thousands of Dayan soldiers attacking the city from below the city wall.

"Archers! Release your arrows! Spearmen, throw your spears!"

Huizhen did not hesitate and quickly began to deploy troops.

For a moment, the army on the city wall also began to move.

Crossbows, spears, boulders, torches and all kinds of attacks were launched at the soldiers who wanted to climb the city wall.

On the other side, the defenders at the city gate were also trying their best to protect the huge city gate.

"Hmm? Is the resistance so fierce? Come! Send out the catapults to suppress the attack on the city wall! Send out another 20,000 troops! Attack the city wall!"

The attacks on the city walls were so intense that it seemed impossible for an army of ten thousand to break through.

Seeing this, Yuchi Laohei was not anxious and issued another order.

Ten thousand is not enough? Then give me another twenty thousand!

If that still doesn't work, then let's mobilize the entire army and push forward!
"Quick! Make up for them! You must stop them for me!"

Huizhen looked nervous. Although they had managed to resist the previous wave of attacks, they still suffered some losses!
The attacks from the opposite side seemed to be endless!
As far as the eye can see, there are a lot of troops moving over there.

Many catapults were also in motion. Although they were not as terrifying as the previous crossbow phalanx, they could suppress their attacks.

"Huizhen! Don't panic! Replace the people below!"

The battle continued, and after two hours of fighting, the power on the city wall became increasingly weak.

Huizhen and the army under the command of the commander-in-chief were reduced to six parties, while the Tang Dynasty only lost 10,000 troops.

"General! The city gate is about to collapse!"

At the city gate, a scream made Huizhen's tense nerves tense again.

Siege vehicles and battering rams are important weapons.

Under round after round of attacks, Huizhen closed the city gates and refused to go out to fight.

Not to mention a wooden city gate, even an iron gate can't hold up!
"At all costs! Hold on to it! Hold on to it!"

There was some panic in Huizhen's eyes, but the next moment it turned into madness.

He had nowhere to retreat! If he didn't defend the city wall, how would he be able to fight against the enemy army when they entered the new city?

"boom!"

However, before Huizhen could say anything, the city gate under her feet groaned as if it could not bear the weight.

The huge battering ram attacked directly.

"It's over."

Huizhen's face was full of despair. Once the city gate was broken, there would be no possibility of defending the new city!
"Pass the order! Charge! Attack the new city!"

In the Dayan camp, Yuchi Laohei saw the city gate being breached and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of troops rushed towards the new city like a man-eating beast.

"Huizhen... let's go... there is always hope! Let's go to the city behind to defend... let's give up this new city for the time being."

Na Shengshuai seemed to have let go of the previous estrangement and patted Huizhen on the shoulder.

Hui Zhen remained silent, but no matter how much he dared not to do so, the outcome was already a foregone conclusion!

Staying in the new city to defend it would only lead to death! The people under his command could not stop the iron hoof of the Great Yan army!
