Country color

Chapter 660 Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world
The sun was setting slowly, and the sky was full of red clouds, and the city of Pyongyang was glowing red under the glow of the rays.

Zhao Jun's second attack on Pyongyang City has been going on for three hours, and soldiers along the way have been thrown into battle. The soldiers who have not yet participated in the battle look at Pyongyang, the capital of the Goguryeo people, and they all look excited and murderous.

The city gate of Pyongyang was burned out in ashes and smoke. The city gate was smashed open by the explosion of the kerosene bomb planted by Zhao Jun an hour ago.

When breaking the city gate, soldiers of the Zhao army thought that the city was broken and killed them, but they did not expect that there was an urn inside. The soldiers stepped on the repelling horses, antlers, and barbed wire laid by the Goguryeo people. Hundreds of Goguryeo soldiers in the Tibetan soldier caves on both sides of the Wengcheng killed most of the hundreds of Zhao soldiers who rushed into the Wengcheng.

Thanks to the strong support of the people and horses later, the entire army was prevented from being wiped out. Now Zhao Jun has smashed all the horses, antlers, and barbed wire under Goguryeo.A general led dozens of elite soldiers of the military guards, wearing three layers of heavy armor, and armed with rifles, entered the Wengcheng, and fought with the Goguryeo army holding heavy shields and iron spears in front of them.

General Zhao Jun was also a fierce figure, he was invincible with a mace, and the soldiers of the Goguryeo army were also determined.When they came out of the cave, they reported their determination to die in battle.What awaits them is the result of fighting to the last soldier.

The two armies killed piles of corpses inside the urn city.

On the city wall, more and more soldiers of Zhao Jun climbed to the top of the city, and the Goguryeo army struggled to support the resistance.The emergency gongs on the top of the city were sounding urgently, and Goguryeo's fresh troops were continuously dispatched from other places to compete with Zhao Jun for the city wall.

The fiercer the battle on the top of the city, the more intense the fighting was, unlike the tension of the Goguryeo people, the higher the morale of the soldiers of the Zhao army below the city.

On the east side of the city wall, a large part of the city wall was smashed down by Zhao Jun's stone catapult before. Now Xue Wanche organized a death squad carrying shields to compete with Goguryeo for this place.

The two armies fought until dark, and the fierce battle lasted for more than eight hours.The lights above and below the city were brightly lit. Zhao soldiers held bright torches and poured into Pyongyang City continuously.

Zhao Jun’s new force seemed endless. More and more battlements on the city walls were captured. .

The battle lasted until late at night, and the siege of the city would take more than twelve hours. Zhao Jun's soldiers were all waiting for this moment.

Finally, their long-awaited voice came from the direction of the front line: "The city is broken!"
Zhao Jun's soldiers present all raised their arms and shouted: "The city is broken!"

It can be seen that Zhao Jun holding torches poured into Pyongyang City, and the rolling crowd could not stop.In the flames, the Zhao character flag was erected on the top of the city of Pyongyang.

"Your Majesty, it finally succeeded." Zhang Xuansu reported to Li Chongjiu excitedly.

Li Chongjiu stood in front of the battle, and said with a light breath: "It's not the time to be done, don't forget how Lai Huer was defeated in Pyongyang."

"That's right, we have to beware of night raids by the Goguryeos."

Li Chongjiu sent an order down and said: "Order the five cavalry regiments to beware of the situation of the Koguryo army in the direction of Dacheng Mountain City."

"As for everyone, follow me into the city!"

"promise!"

All the generals took orders together.

In the city of Pyongyang, Ulji Mundeok left in a hurry with the support of soldiers.In the direction of the city wall, the Goguryeo soldiers threw away their helmets and armor and were defeated.

After the city gate was opened, Zhao Jun's soldiers advanced along the street.

Ulji Wendeok looked at the city wall bitterly and said: "The city is already broken, I have nothing to say, I can only die to thank His Majesty, but does Li Chongjiu think that capturing Pyongyang City will be a victory?"

Speaking of this, Ulji Wende showed a sneer on his face and shouted to the left and right: "Pass down the order and act according to the previous plan."

The general on the side changed his expression and said, "Do you really want to do this to Lu?"

Ulji Moondeok's eyes showed a stern look and he said: "You can't have the kindness of a woman in a war. What is this sacrifice? I, a Goguryeo, would rather die than be humiliated, and I will never make this Pyongyang capital cheap for the Han people."

Moments after Zhao Jun broke the city, the Goguryeo army was still fighting Zhao Jun in the city to prevent them from killing Anhe Palace.But at this time, the direction of Anhe Palace suddenly burst into flames, and all the Goguryeo soldiers were stunned to see this scene.

Afterwards, not only the Anhak Palace, but also the streets and alleys of Pyongyang City, and the residences of dignitaries and dignitaries all caught fire.

In the city, countless people wearing Goguryeo clothes ran out of their houses crying, and the whole city of Pyongyang burst into flames in an instant.Taking advantage of the fire, Ulji Wende led the remnant soldiers to set fires everywhere, and at the same time placed obstacles on the city road barricades to prevent Zhao Jun from pursuing.

A large number of Goguryeo soldiers took advantage of this opportunity and rushed in the other direction of Zhao Jun's siege.However, the attacking soldiers of the Zhao army were hindered by the fire and could not advance at all.

"Your Majesty, Ulji Mundeok set fire to the city to prevent our army from pursuing."

Li Chongjiu's eyes sharpened. He came here to attack Pyongyang for the purpose of Goguryeo's granary and money bank.Unexpectedly, Ulji Mundeok set fire to Pyongyang City, and even the people in the city abandoned it. This is obviously something I can't get, and you can't even think of it.

After hearing this, the generals couldn't help but hate him greatly.

After the next day, the fire was extinguished, and Zhao Jun occupied the whole city of Pyongyang.The people of Goguryeo were captured, and the soldiers recorded more than [-] people.However, the Goguryeo granary and the money bank, which had been thought to be destroyed, did not fail in the slightest.

When Li Chongjiu came here on horseback, he saw corpses all over the ground. A general and a monk recommended to Li Chongjiu, "Your Majesty, it was this monk who led people to capture the granary and prevented the Goguryeo people from burning it."

When the monk heard that the general called him His Majesty, his eyes froze, but when he saw countless fiery red battle flags with the word Zhao written on them, he couldn't help but asked in Chinese in surprise, "Zhao? Your Majesty? What is this?" What's going on? Where's Commander Yu? Where's General? Where are they? Where are they?"

The monk looked up to the sky and shouted, as if he was crazy.

The guards were afraid that this person would hurt Li Chongjiu and wanted to subdue him, but Li Chongjiu stretched out his hand and said, "Brother, the Sui Dynasty has already perished, and now it is the world of Great Zhao. As for General Zhongwen when he was in Liaodong." He was defeated and convicted, and died depressed after being imprisoned. General Hu'er and the Son of Heaven were killed by the rebel Yu Wenhuaji in Jiangdu together."

After hearing what Li Chongjiu said, more than a hundred people behind the monk lost their composure, and many of them knelt on the ground and wailed loudly.

Someone said: "Father and mother, do you know? My child has been in a foreign country for ten years. I thought that one day, the imperial court would come to rescue us, but I didn't expect the imperial court to die."

"Yes, the imperial court is dead, we hate it."

"It is my misfortune to serve the country in this life, but the country perishes."

The monk's expression changed slightly, but he regained his senses and looked at Li Chongjiu and said, "Sorry, I lost my temper. Are you the current emperor of the court? Sorry, I'm a rough person, and I don't know the etiquette of meeting the emperor."

Li Chongjiu said: "I am the Son of Heaven, and like you, I was originally a soldier of the Sui Dynasty. After Yu Wenhua and the conspiracy, I drew my sword in Youjing and fought in Youjing until now. It is only by luck and luck that I have achieved such a little achievement today." .”

The monk nodded and said: "So that's how it is. We are all soldiers of the government who followed Commander Zhongwen. I am from Guanzhong. After Sashui's defeat, everyone was captured by the Goguryeo people. They should have died, but we have endured humiliation and lived on until today." .Brother, this is the present day, hurry up and worship with me."

After hearing what the monk said, some of the hundreds of people behind him bowed down, some bowed down hesitantly after watching for a while, and more than a dozen people stood still.

Wearing bright armor on the side, Zhao Junting guards looked at the dozen or so people who did not kneel, and they were all dissatisfied, so they waited for Li Chongjiu's order to arrest them.

At this time Li Chongjiu stepped forward and said loudly: "Everyone, I know that you are all soldiers who conquered Liaodong back then. You have been abroad for ten years. Do you miss your relatives at home?"

All the soldiers nodded together when they heard the words.

Li Chongjiu said: "This brother just said that everyone has endured humiliation and stole life to this day. This sentence is wrong. Everyone has no relatives. Tolerance is not for stealing life, but for reuniting with relatives, living for seeing family again, For the sake of the country, you have sacrificed your life and come to Liaodong for thousands of miles. What are you doing? Don’t talk about those great principles, isn’t it because you want to make military achievements and glorify your ancestors in the future? Do you think so?”

"Yes." Not only did more than a hundred soldiers wipe their tears from their eyes, but Zhao Jun's court guards also answered in the same way.

Li Chongjiu said here with a straight face: "You are fighting for the country, throwing your head and blood, not sparing your youth, and fighting to the death. You are all resounding men! Now you are humiliated in a foreign country, and you still miss your homeland. Frankly speaking, the country has treated you badly." You, and a country, if it cannot give meritorious soldiers the honor it deserves, it is not worthy of existence, and I am not worthy of being an emperor!"

"Now I tell you, you can go home, go home and meet your relatives, let them know that the country will not forget you, and you are the true loyal souls of this country!"

After Li Chongjiu finished speaking, the old soldiers of Liaodong were full of tears, and kept wiping the tears from the corners of their eyes, while the soldiers of Zhao Jun kept applauding, their expressions were excited, and they shouted long live.

This remark not only speaks to the bottom of the heart of the old soldier in Liaodong, but also to the bottom of the heart of the soldiers of the Zhao army beside him.

The monk Gao Tao stepped forward and said excitedly: "With your Majesty's words, it is worth waiting for ten years."

Zhang Xuansu couldn't help but said with emotion: "I finally know why your majesty's military strategy is only the capital of the middleman, but he has today's foundation. It turns out that it is all about grasping the hearts of the people. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

On one side, the old soldiers of Liaodong also joined the soldiers of Zhao Jun and shouted long live together.
