Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 497 Chu Mo succeeded in stealing chicken

The battle didn't last long.

As Cheng Chumo's surprise attack was followed by the advance of Liu Rengui's army, the 20,000-strong army led by Gao Zhensheng quickly collapsed.

Each Korean soldier regretted that their parents had not given them two more legs so they could not run faster than others.

"Your Majesty, Gao Zhensheng is missing."

"Oh?"

Su Chen held a telescope and searched the chaotic battlefield.

The Goryeo soldiers fled in all directions, and it was not an easy task to find Gao Zhensheng among thousands of people.

As the saying goes, there are over ten thousand soldiers and armor, stretching as far as the eye can see.

not to mention.

Gao Zhensheng had his personal soldiers by his side, so it would not be difficult for him to escape during the chaos.

However, it's not a big problem.

Even if Gao Zhensheng ran away, these 20,000 troops would have lost their combat effectiveness.

In this way, the defenders in the counties on the way to Kaifeng will inevitably surrender.

This is the most important.

"Where's Cheng Chumo?"

"Your Highness, Captain Cheng is leading his troops to hunt down the Korean soldiers."

"Got it. Let them be careful to avoid any setbacks."

"Yes!"

The cavalry left.

Su Chen stretched lazily. This battle was somewhat anticlimactic.

original.

He thought Gao Zhensheng would rely on Tianda Mountain and defend it tightly and would not let them cross Tianda Mountain.

But in the end, under the attack of his artillery bombs, Gao Zhensheng abandoned Tianda Mountain and led his troops to retreat to the rear, but was caught by Li Jingheng and others who were eager to make merit.

At this time, he still had a chance to retreat.

Perhaps it was because he didn't want to be a stray dog, or maybe it was because he was so angry after the explosion at Tianda Mountain that he wanted to eat Li Jingheng and others before retreating.

But, it's too late.

"General Liu is back."

"My Lord, I have fulfilled my mission."

Liu Rengui smiled and bowed, "This battle successfully eliminated the effective troops north of Kaifeng, and beheaded 5,000 people. From now on, there should be no obstacles on our way to Kaifeng."

Su Chen nodded, "I hope so."

"General Liu, please organize the soldiers and let the doctors accompanying the army bandage and treat them."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already made the arrangements."

Liu Rengui smiled indifferently.

As a general, how could he watch his soldiers get injured and remain indifferent?

Not to mention the medical soldiers that Su Chen brought this time, there are also quite a few medical soldiers in their navy.

They are all outstanding students who graduated from medical schools and have extremely sophisticated treatment techniques for the external injuries of these soldiers.

"Your Majesty."

"We're back."

At this time, Li Jingheng and the other two also returned with injuries.

Compared with Yuchi Baolin and the other two, Li Jingheng seemed a little miserable.

Perhaps it was because he was the first to bite Gao Zhensheng, which led to Gao Zhensheng's targeting him. He sent more people again and again in an attempt to kill him.

Although the man was not dead, the armor on his body was covered with traces of battle, and there were different wounds on his arms, legs and feet.

"Jingheng, you did a good job today, but you were a little too bold."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Too reckless. We can just wait for our army to arrive before attacking them."

Li Jingheng chuckled. He knew what Su Chen meant. He was not blaming him for being too reckless, but was worried about his safety.

If something really happened, he would have no choice but to explain to Li Daozon and Li Xueyan.

Fortunately, he was lucky.

"By the way, my lord, where is Cheng Chumo?"

"Yes, he suddenly appeared with that ragtag group of cavalry and gave us a fright."

"How come he disappeared without a trace while rushing forward?"

"Just received news that he led his troops to hunt down the fleeing Goryeo army."

Su Chen said casually, "These people are completely cowardly, and Cheng Chumo has a lot of cavalry around him, so there shouldn't be any accidents."

"Let's rest here for a while. If he hasn't returned, we will head south to look for them."

"it is good!"

……

"Gao Zhensheng, where do you want to run to!"

Cheng Chumo patted his horse and kept shouting, "The heavenly soldiers are here, why don't you dismount and surrender?"

"Into your mother!"

Gao Zhensheng looked back and couldn't help but curse.

This damn bastard, he didn't go to Beilie to find him, but he took the initiative to come to Tianda Mountain and cause trouble for himself!
If he hadn't led his troops directly into the camp and seized the commander's flag, how could the morale of the army have been shaken?
It was not easy for him to gather hundreds of people to protect himself during his retreat, but he never expected that he was targeted by Cheng Chumo again.

the most important is.

The personal soldiers around him tried to stop Cheng Chumo, but were killed by him.

Even though Gao Zhensheng changed his clothes, he was still caught up by Cheng Chumo, who was like a dog.

"Brothers, if we capture Gao Zhensheng today, everyone's money will be increased tenfold!"

"I, Cheng Chumo, have plenty of money now."

"I don't have enough silver, but the prince can help make up for it!"

"Push it to me!"

"Capture Gao Zhensheng alive!"

"Capture Gao Zhensheng alive!"

"Capture Gao Zhensheng alive!"

Angry roars rang out from the mouths of hundreds of cavalrymen.

The terrifying force made Gao Zhensheng feel frightened.

If he were captured alive, he would be dead even if he didn't die.

Bang bang bang.

With the sound of gunshots, the soldiers around Gao Zhensheng fell down one after another.

"Fight them!"

Gao Zhensheng roared, "Brothers, they have been disconnected from the Tang army. Now is a great opportunity for us to counterattack!"

"Kill them and go back to Kaijing!"

"Yes!"

"kill!"

As Gao Zhensheng turned his horse around, more than a hundred people around him also turned around and charged.

Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up.

Compared with capturing Beilie, when the two armies were fighting, he first captured the flag and then captured the enemy commander. With such an achievement, even if his father came, he would have to pour him a glass of wine!

"Meet the brave to win on the narrow road!"

"Kill me!"

Although Gao Zhensheng was still there, the anger in their hearts had already dissipated in the recent defeat.

Without ambition, he is naturally no match for Cheng Chumo and others.

not to mention.

The number of soldiers led by Cheng Chumo is greater than theirs!

"Gao Zhensheng, surrender and you'll be spared!"

Cheng Chumo looked down at Gao Zhensheng who was getting up from the ground with a smile on his face.

Gao Zhensheng was silent, looking at the knife in his hand. Cheng Chumo: "You can choose to commit suicide, but it won't change anything. You can surrender to our dynasty. Your Majesty has always valued talents."

Gao Zhensheng smiled calmly, "No need."

He was promoted by Quan Gaisuwen and was valued by King Rongliu. Now that an army of 20,000 has failed to stop the Tang army, how can he have the dignity to live in this world?
puff.

Gao Zhensheng committed suicide.

"He's a man."

Cheng Chumo nodded and called on his soldiers to take the body away.

As for whether to bury him or not, he has no say now.

"Let's go and meet up with the prince."

……

"Your Majesty, Captain Cheng is here."

"came back?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "Okay, okay, go and ask him to come in."

"For your humble position, please see the prince."

"It looks like you're injured too."

Su Chen said cheerfully, "Why don't you stay in Beilie to defend the city, but come to Tianda Mountain to help?"

Cheng Chumo laughed and said, "Your Highness, we learned in Beile that Gao Zhensheng has transferred some officials from the county town away. He did not go to Beile, but instead set up defenses near Tianda Mountain. So I discussed it with Lieutenant Cheng Feng and thought they might be planning to ambush Your Highness."

"So we discussed it and left Captain Cheng Feng to guard Bilie, and I brought the soldiers here. However, because we were short of war horses, we used mules and donkeys instead."

"Fortunately, we arrived in time and happened to encounter a fierce battle between your two sides. I led my troops to hide aside and watch the battle."

"When I saw Li Jingheng and his men stopped Gao Zhensheng and his men, I originally wanted to come out to help, but I didn't expect that Yuchi Baolin and his men would rush over, and your army would also come over..."

Yuchi Baolin: "So you stole the chicken."

Li Jingheng: "That's right, we were in the front to attract the enemy's attention, but you went straight to the center."

Cheng Chumo chuckled, "You can't say that, after all, as long as Gao Zhensheng is killed, it will be fine."

Li Chongyi: "But Gao Zhensheng ran away."

"No no."

Cheng Chumo smiled and waved his hands repeatedly, "I've brought people to catch up."

"Oh?"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Liu Rengui: "Captain Cheng, are you serious?"

Cheng Chumo: "It is absolutely true. After I led my troops to catch up with Gao Zhensheng, I tried to persuade him to surrender. Unfortunately, he wanted to die and eventually committed suicide. However, I have brought his body back."

"it is good!"

Liu Rengui clapped his hands and laughed, "Captain Cheng should be credited with the greatest achievement."

Cheng Chumo grinned and waved his hands modestly, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. If it weren't for you, the prince and the general, who were in front of me, how could I have captured Gao Zhensheng so smoothly?"

"Even if we have to divide the military merits, you should be the first to be credited."

"More modest."

Li Jingheng looked disdainful.

Su Chen waved his hand and said, "No matter what, your surprise attack did effectively end the melee. We will record all your contributions."

"Now, the reinforcements from Kaijing have been defeated by us. Although some people took advantage of the chaos to escape here, they are no longer a concern."

"Next, our goal is to attack Kaifeng."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Now, the Goryeo army in Quanjing and Beilie has been wiped out, and Gao Zhensheng who came from Kaijing has been defeated and killed.

Their army marched all the way south, and it seems that they were blocked by an unregulated army.

Even if there are, they are just a scattered mob.

"Sun Qiang, has there been any news from Zhishisili?"

"No news has been received yet."

Liu Rengui pondered and said, "I think the situation of General Zhishishili in the north is not optimistic. Your Majesty, should we go north to join General Zhishishili's army and attack Quan Gaisuwen from both sides, or go south all the way to Kaifeng?"

after all.

Quan Gaisuwen led a large army to fight against Zhishishili. If Zhishishili wanted to make any progress, it would definitely be much more difficult than them.

"Perhaps there is no significant result, so they didn't send us a message."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Sun Qiang, send the news that we defeated Gao Zhensheng's army to Zhishisili."

"Who knows? He may be able to help us hold back Quan Gaisuwen's army on the northern front, allowing us to reach Kaifeng first."

"Then won't we become the main force?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Nominally.

Zhishisili was the commander of the army this time, but because of Su Chen, Liu Rengui and others followed Su Chen.

If Zhishisili's side still doesn't achieve any significant results, he can help them and tie down Quan Gaisuwen's army.

They went all the way south and attacked Kaijing directly.

just.

This is a hypothetical situation. The specific situation will depend on the situation of Zhishisi Li.

"Everyone is injured after today's battle. Go find a doctor to bandage your wounds and have a good rest. We will set off south tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

"General Liu."

"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Arrange a group of people to clear the way southwards, and spread the news that the reinforcements from Kaijing have been completely eaten by us."

"Yes!"

Liu Rengui smiled and nodded.

Perhaps they didn't need to spread the news themselves, as some counties in Goryeo had already received the news.

After all, there are so many defeated soldiers, it would be easy for this matter to spread.

Early the next morning.

Led by Su Chen and others, the soldiers headed straight for Kaijing.

Because the news of the defeat of the Kaijing army spread, this also led to the fact that they did not put up any resistance along the way.

Even when they passed through some cities, the officials in these cities were already waiting outside the city gates, awaiting their arrival.

Open Beijing.

Inside the palace.

Among all the officials, King Rongliu looked at the intelligence sent from the front line with an expressionless face.

Quanjingbilie all fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty. Gao Zhensheng led an army of 10,000 and drew on the defense forces of counties from all over the country to set up defenses on the Tianda Mountain line, forcing Su Chen to resort to bombarding Tianda Mountain.

Subsequently.

The reinforcements were defeated and Gao Zhensheng was killed in the battle.

As the Tang army marched southward, countless officials in the counties surrendered.

Bang!
Prince Rongliu angrily overturned the table and chairs in front of him and said angrily: "Gao Zhensheng's army of 12,000, plus the garrison troops of various counties, a total of more than 20,000 troops, were defeated just like this?"

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Everyone spoke one after another.

How could King Rongliu calm down?
Quan Gaisuwen led the Goryeo army to Liaodong, but now the cities in the south have surrendered to the Tang army because of Gao Zhensheng's defeat.

If this continues, won't the Tang army be able to attack Kaifeng at any time?
"Your Majesty, the current plan is to withdraw troops and set up defenses in the Imjin River area. Only in this way can we stop the Tang army to the east of the Imjin River."

Prince Rongliu looked over expressionlessly, "My dear Liu Fu, what good plan do you have?"

Liu Fu said in a deep voice: "Gather troops from all over the country, and deploy a large army in the Imjin River area before the Tang army goes south to Kaijing to stop them from going south!"

"But what if they go north?"

King Rongliu said in a deep voice, "If they go north and join the army of Zhishisili, and rush General Quan Gaisuwen from front to back, what should we do?"

Liu Fu continued, "This Tang army does not have a large number of troops. General Quan Gaisuwen has many brave generals under his command, and they are strong and powerful. We only need to notify General Quan Gaisuwen in advance to prevent this from happening."

"and."

"Once we have mobilized all the troops, we can completely encircle and suppress this Tang army!"
