Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 417
The shock brought by Mo Dao is self-evident. Looking at the companions who are constantly being dismembered in front of them, and the knife array slowly approaching, it is like a huge wheel, an army array that keeps harvesting lives.

The guards who were directly facing were all scared, and they tried their best to avoid them, fearing that they would not be able to avoid them, and no one thought about whether to block their companions, they just wanted to stay away, as far away as possible.

If Mo Dao is a harvester, then the cavalry is a large harvester, a giant harvester, riding a horse past, with bloody flesh under the horse's hoof, and a struggling body on the spear.

The cavalry who dropped their spears pulled out their horizontal knives around their waists, stretched out their arms, and placed the blades obliquely. With the help of their horses, they easily brought down a group of them.

It took two hours for a great battle to come to an end. Of the more than 20 Goguryeo people, only [-] surrendered, and all the others died in battle.

Moreover, the family members of these defenders all evacuated to the rear. We all know that after being occupied by others, women are the most vulnerable to suffering. Therefore, these soldiers have a good fighting spirit under the encouragement of their superiors.

It's just that as they are constantly divided, there is no command, and no one who is an official can be seen, so it slowly collapses.

Li Shimin was very excited at the beginning, but later he was surprised. Seeing that the Goguryeo people were so tenacious, he finally sent all the Xuanjia troops up.

"If the Goguryeo people were fighting to the death like this all the way, I'm afraid it would be quite difficult." Li Shimin rubbed his swollen brain and said to Li Jing with a slight headache.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be in trouble. First, here is the main force of Goguryeo. Second, it is difficult to have so many people in the future. Even if there are, we can mobilize more.

Moreover, it can directly bombard and push all the way, and I don't believe that the Goguryeo people can withstand the bombing without being defeated. "Li Jing cupped his hands in relief.

"Well! What Aiqing said is reasonable, and the casualties can be counted." Li Shimin asked with a slow expression and nodded.

In fact, there is also a victorious heart in this. For several years, he has been on the battlefield. In the past few years, Datang has continuously won victories in various places. There are many victories, and the casualties are slight. The most dead are mercenaries and the few who have just joined nationality.

Now it is rare to personally lead an attack. If the casualties are too high in the first battle, it will be a bit embarrassing, so I will be more concerned.

"After many days of attack, more than 5 people were killed, [-] people were seriously injured, and although more than [-] people were slightly injured, they only needed simple treatment, and they were able to fight the enemy again." Li Jing reported with the statistics report that he had just received.

"Only more than 1 casualties! How is that possible?" Gongsun Wuda couldn't help exclaiming.

"Cough! Cough! I made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Gongsun Wuda knew he had made a mistake after speaking, and quickly apologized.

"It's okay, against more than 40 enemy troops, so few casualties, and a strong attack, it is indeed unprecedented since ancient times, I am very relieved, we must make statistics, and pay well in the future." Li Shimin did not blame, and waved his hands with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your innocence!" Gongsun Wuda quickly thanked him, wiped off his sweat and retreated.

"Minister Zunzhi, in fact, there are few casualties, which is also reasonable, because there are steel cannons and tanks, the most difficult siege will have no casualties, this is the most important point.

At worst, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were all wearing rattan armor or bamboo armor, and everyone in the vanguard was covered with steel armor, and it was even more difficult for the Goguryeo people to hurt the soldiers. "Li Jing explained.

"Yes, no matter which aspect, we have a huge advantage. If there are too many casualties in this way, I will doubt whether someone has contributed to the work." Li Shimin listened to Li Jing's analysis, deeply agreed, relaxed and joked .

"In this battle, more than 40 of the 30-odd army in Liaodong were annihilated, [-] were captured, and [-] fled. The guard Yang Wanchun died in a fierce battle, and the opponent Lu Yuan Taizuo committed suicide." Li Jing and others were quiet and continued to report.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is a great victory. After this battle, Goguryeo will be destroyed soon." Everyone loves to hear good words, and immediately some officials flattered loudly.

He spoke happily, danced and spittled, as if Goguryeo had perished.

"Haha! Pass on my will, hold a banquet, and reward the three armies." Li Shimin laughed happily, obviously in an extremely comfortable mood.

…………

When Li Shimin held a banquet to celebrate, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and others also captured Anshi City two days in advance, and the battle report was almost delivered to Li Shimin.

Yuan Gai Suwen was lucky, or he didn't have the courage to die like his old man. When he saw that he couldn't beat him, he cut off the tail of the gecko and ran away.

And Zhang Liang's navy also captured Shabei City on the same day. Among them, the most depressing and easiest were the other two routes. Not to mention the guards, not even a young man can be seen.

Receive cities all the way, send letters and reports all the way, and move forward at a leisurely speed like traveling.

After Li Shimin and others celebrated, they spent another three days approaching the inner city.

At this time, Pingxiang City was in a state of wailing. After receiving the news of the defeat ahead, people were already in panic, but another news came out that made things worse. Ulji Wendeok died.

As the military god of Goguryeo, Ulji Mundeok belongs to the spiritual pillar. Although he is old, he is still alive. This time he heard that the Tang Dynasty had a new weapon. He thought hard all night, but he couldn't think of a way. He vomited blood and died. Although Gao Jianwu ordered the news to be blocked , but still spread out, and quickly spread throughout the city.

This moment was terrible, the people of Goguryeo felt as if the sky was about to collapse, the whole city lost their smiles and were all downcast, like walking dead.

This is bad news for the common people and soldiers. For Gao Jianwu, the nearly 60 army casualties ahead are fatal.

When the bad news came, the nobles and high-ranking officials in Pingxiang were all panicked. Most of the country's elite died, and almost half of the families had filial piety. The entire capital was full of crying.

Gao Jianwu hadn't slept for three days in a row, and it seemed that he heard the sound of killing when he closed his eyes. Moreover, there were endless arguments in the court for escape and surrender, but no one insisted on fighting.

Gao Jianwu was not only very tired, but also deeply saddened. After being a king for so many years, there was no one loyal at critical moments. Although he also advocated surrender, most of the time he advocated fleeing, he did not dare to force him. Order, or before the Tang army arrives, my head is already on the desk, and I just give it to these nobles as a meeting gift.

And these nobles advocated fleeing instead of surrendering, not because they were so loyal and did not want to surrender, but because they were worried that their property would be confiscated after surrendering.
