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

As the capital of the Goguryeo Dynasty, Pyongyang has always been a very prosperous place, with people from all over the country coming and going in the city every day.
But not long ago, all the residents of Pyongyang left the city. Even those who did not have time to leave stayed at home and the streets were empty!
The reason is simple. Just one day ago, the 200,000-strong Yan army led by Chen Qianzhi had already arrived at the city!

The gate of the huge city of Pyongyang was surrounded!
And because Yeon Gaesomun withdrew some forces, the number of troops in the royal city at present is only about 100,000, far less than the number of troops led by Chen Qingzhi.

In desperation, the King of Goguryeo could only order the city gates to be closed and not to engage in a head-on conflict with the Dayan army. On the other hand, he sent the message out to let all forces return quickly to defend their royal city!
"Your Majesty... what should we do... The court is in chaos! If we don't stabilize the situation, I'm afraid we will collapse before the enemy attacks!"

In the huge hall, no one was willing to be the first to speak out, except for a eunuch next to the King of Goguryeo.

“What should I do?”

The King of Goguryeo sat down somewhat weakly, muttering to himself.

Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice! There were only 100,000 troops in the royal city! Even though he had extraordinary military talents, he could not find a way to defeat Chen Qingzhi's army.

"How's Yeon Gaesomun doing?"

The King of Goguryeo suddenly raised his head. Right now, the only thing he had hope for was probably the battle with Yeon Gaesomun. He might be able to gain some advantage and break the situation.

If his plan worked, there should be good news coming back by now.

When the civil and military officials below heard the question from the King of Goguryeo, they looked at each other with unnatural expressions on their faces.

Obviously, they have already known what happened over there.

"You! Come here! Tell me what's going on over there now!"

The King of Goguryeo had a gloomy face. It seemed that all the civil and military officials in the court knew about the situation over there, but he, the King of Goguryeo, was the only one who was kept in the dark!

"what?"

The general who was named met the gaze of the King of Goguryeo and was a little panicked for a moment.

He didn't want to give bad news to the King of Goguryeo at this time! Wouldn't that just add fuel to the fire? !

"Asshole! Is there no one listening to me now?"

Seeing that man's reaction, the King of Goguryeo's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it!

"Your Majesty! I dare not! General Yeon Gaesomun... is at a disadvantage right now."

The man saw the King of Goguryeo and saw that he was about to explode. He was so scared that he quickly stepped forward and said respectfully.

But he still didn't dare to say it directly. Yeon Gaesomun had no chance of winning, so he could only point it out in a very obscure way.

Upon hearing this, the last bit of hope in the King of Goguryeo's heart was shattered. He slumped on the throne, looking at the grand hall with carved beams and painted rafters, his eyes somewhat dull.

"My Lord... you have formed a mighty army of 200,000 Great Yan soldiers, and have surrounded Pyongyang... If possible... why don't we send envoys to the Great Yan Emperor to negotiate peace."

Even his own imperial city was surrounded by Dayan. When the enemy troops were at the gates, many civil and military officials had already lost the will to resist.

They just want to save themselves. The only way now is to negotiate peace with Dayan! Only by seeking Dayan's forgiveness can they keep the Goguryeo royal city!
The King of Goguryeo glanced at the civil official with a complicated expression, but he could not say anything.

He had wanted to negotiate peace with Dayan for a long time, but given the current situation, what bargaining chips did they have to negotiate peace with Dayan?
Whether to fight or make peace is up to Dayan unilaterally, they have no say at all!
"Then you should go and negotiate peace with Da Yan... If Yeon Gaesomun is defeated, you should go and discuss peace with the Emperor of Da Yan."

Although the possibility of peace talks is not high, it is their last way out when they are defeated.

………………

Outside Pyongyang, Dayan military camp.

"Zhixuan, why are you so impatient? Didn't I tell you to hold back? Why are you thinking of provoking me first?"

In the huge tent, Chen Qingzhi looked at Duan Zhixuan below him with a helpless look on his face.

To kill a person, first kill his heart! His original idea was to first besiege Pyongyang and gradually wipe out the will of the Goguryeo army in the city.

As time goes by, they will inevitably expose problems!
"After being at sea for so long, I can't wait any longer, can I?"

Duan Zhixuan lowered his head in dismay. The confrontation between the two armies was the time for him to show his skills, so naturally he was a little impatient.

"You! Go and have the scouts keep a close eye on the movements of the Goguryeo army in the city, block their retreat, and prevent any supplies from flowing into the city."

At the same time, on the other side, Guo Shoujing launched a general attack after his army had rested.

An army of more than 100,000 soldiers and more than a hundred phalanxes swept forward.

Yeon Gaesomun was terrified and could only organize a large army to meet the enemy in a hurry.

Chen Qingzhi in the city seized the opportunity and ordered his army to go out of the city to meet the enemy. The Goguryeo army was attacked from all sides and was defeated!

“…General! It’s bad! Chen Qianzhi’s army is charging from the rear, and our rear has suffered heavy casualties!”

"General! The Yan army is overwhelming us! In just half an hour, 20,000 soldiers have been killed!"

As bad news came one after another, Yeon Gaesomun slumped in his seat, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

In just one hour, more than half of the army was slaughtered!
The domineering and powerful demeanor on his face had long since disappeared!
"Retreat! Pass the order! The whole army retreats! Towards the royal city!"

After a long time, Yeon Gaesomun's eyes regained some of their luster.

Now that the frontline cities have completely fallen, the Goguryeo royal city will be their last barrier!
If the city is destroyed, Goguryeo will be destroyed!
The military order was quickly passed down, and Zi An, who had long lost the will to fight, hurriedly

They fled the battlefield and retreated towards the Goguryeo capital like a tide.

But! They soon encountered an army of more than 100,000 commanded by Li Kuan!

"Report! More than 100,000 Great Yan troops appeared in the direction of the army's retreat! They have blocked our retreat!"

In the huge military camp, all the generals looked as pale as death! There was no hope at all!

"You all... lead your subordinates to break out... Whether you can break out depends on your luck..."

Yeon Gaesomun remained silent for a long time, but ultimately did not give any orders.

Presumably, the army blocking them from the rear is the left wing army of Dayan. With the two armies joining together, how can they have any ability to resist?

It would be better to let the people below escape on their own, as many as can escape!
"General!"

"General!"

The generals looked at Yeon Gaesomun, who suddenly looked ten years older, with complicated expressions.

But escaping is more important! The spacious tent soon became empty, with only Yeon Gaesomun sitting weakly at the top.
"Hahaha... Soldiers! Follow me! Kill these Goguryeo barbarians without leaving a single piece of armor!"

The army met the fleeing Goguryeo army. The old demon laughed loudly, raised a big axe, and led the infantry camp to charge forward.

On one side is a fierce army full of fighting spirit and ready to go, and on the other side is a defeated army with no fighting spirit and fleeing in all directions.
When the two armies fought, the final outcome was predictable.

Nearly 300,000 troops surrounded and attacked from all directions. The lives of the Goguryeo soldiers were harvested like grass. The wailing spread throughout the world! The soil was dyed blood red!
Looking around, there were countless floating corpses! The blood was endless! The blood was flowing!

“Where is Yeon Gaesomun?”

Li Kuan picked up a Goguryeo general, and his blood-red eyes emitted a captivating cold light, which gradually made the general sink into it.

"In...in the big tent..."

The fear spread like a plague, taking over his entire body and mind!
"Pfft-"

The next second, the black spear in Li Kuan's hand flashed by, and the general's head rolled to the ground with endless fear and fear, and his headless body also fell heavily in a pool of blood.

"go!"

Li Kuan walked towards the Goguryeo camp step by step, and the aura condensed in his body became more and more astonishing with every step.

A group of soldiers followed behind him, their armors all dyed red by the blood of the enemies!
"boom!"

In front of the huge tent, Li Kuan fired a shot and saw that the door of the tent exploded in an instant, turning into debris all over the ground.

"Li Kuan! Are you finally here?"

It seems that Yeon Gaesomun gave up because he knew he had no way out. He straightened his clothes and stood in the middle of the tent with a horse-shaped pestle, as if waiting for Li Kuan to arrive.

"Humph! Yeon Gaesomun! Today is the day you die!"

Li Kuan didn't waste any words. He held the black spear in his hand and rushed towards him.

The generals and soldiers quickly dispersed to help Li Kuan.

The Yeon Gaesomun in front of him is already unable to escape even if he had wings!
"Hahaha...well done!"

Yeon Gaesomun looked crazy. When he saw Li Kuan coming, he burst into laughter without hiding!
"boom!"

The black spear is as long as the horse rack, but the strength of their owners is not!

After a collision, Yeon Gaesomun retreated repeatedly, and it took him a long time to stabilize his body.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Li Kuan! This general cannot believe that there is such a huge gap between you and me!"

Yuan Gaesomun, who was originally eager to try, was at a disadvantage as soon as they met. His eyes were full of unwillingness as he roared.

He secretly removed the remaining strength from the horse rack, tightly grasped the still whimpering horse rack, and rushed forward again.

"Some people...are not your match!"

Li Kuan looked down upon him as if he were an ant, with great disdain!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Li Kuan was merciless, the black spear in his hand flew around and the attack continued!

Under a series of swift attacks, Yeon Gaesomun was finally unable to bear the burden and flew backwards to the ground, and the horse Wang in his hand was also knocked away.

"Forehead….."

He struggled to get up from the ground, but he spat out several mouthfuls of blood and was unable to support himself to stand up.

"Da da da!"

Li Kuan held a black spear in his hand and walked towards him step by step. His light footsteps stepped on his nerves again and again. His forced calmness could no longer hold up in the face of the threat of death!
“No….Don’t come over…”

Fear occupied his entire face, already distorting his expression. He struggled on the ground, crawling backwards little by little, trying to get away from the invincible man in front of him.

"If you don't have any last words, then go and die!"

The black spear moved and pressed against his neck. Li Kuan's faint voice came out, without a trace of mercy, only endless murderous intent!
"Let me go"

The desire to survive made Yeon Gaesomun abandon all his arrogance and edge!
Surrounded by murderous intent, he prostrated himself on the ground, begging for mercy from Li Qiu in a crying voice.

"Let you go? How can I comfort the souls of my brothers in heaven? How can I give an explanation to my brothers who died in the battle?"

The next second, a flash of cold light disappeared, and Yeon Gaesomun's wise voice came to an abrupt end.

His eyes widened, and then he covered his neck with his hands in horror.

Suddenly! That line of blood spread rapidly, and blood gushed out all of a sudden.

"I... am not... willing..."

His pupils dilated rapidly and he looked at the world with nostalgia.

A ray of sunlight shone in through the tattered door of the tent, shining on his face. He stretched out his hand to try to catch the light, but his body could not hold on and he fell to the ground.

"A worthy death!"

Gao Shun behind him bit Yeon Gaesomun's fallen body. If he was already dead, Gao Shun would definitely use all the means in the world to make him try all kinds of tortures one by one!
The overwhelming battle ended quickly!
On the huge battlefield, corpses were everywhere! Blood formed a stream! Countless broken limbs and arms were floating in it.

There were a few Goguryeo soldiers who survived but fell in a pool of blood.

Looking at the hideous faces of his companions, his will was gradually worn away by fear.

In the end, he died of endless fear and became a corpse no different from his companions!

Flocks of vultures were circling in the sky, as if waiting to enjoy a feast!

“Hahaha…! His Majesty is finally here!”

In the huge tent, all the generals gathered together. Guo Shoujing sat in the front. When he saw Li Kuan who was late, he couldn't help but laugh.

"I went to the Goguryeo camp and brought back a gift for you, Principal Guo!"

The armor on Li Kuan's body had long been dyed blood red, and the dissolved blood and murderous aura mixed together made the generals feel terrified!
"Gulu..."

He casually threw a package in his hand to the ground, and a hideous human head rolled in front of everyone. It was Yeon Gaesomun's head full of fear and unwillingness!

"Your Majesty, this! Is good!!"

When Li Er saw the ferocious head, he was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his face became even more intense.

It is said that Yeon Gaesomun is the most powerful general in Goguryeo! He dreams of being on par with Chen Qingzhi and others!
