Seeing that Jian'an City was on fire everywhere, Su Wen Gaiyuan knew that Jian'an City could not be defended. Even if he had unparalleled martial arts skills, it would be useless to face so many Tang troops. At most, he could kill a few more Tang troops, but what's the use? ?
I was angry in my heart, but I had nowhere to vent it. In the end, I could only grit my teeth and say: "Retreat, everyone retreat!"
After receiving Suwen Gaiyuan's order, the generals around him rushed to the surroundings of the city to convey the order.
The battle lasted from night to dawn. Although Su Wen Gaiyuan immediately issued the order to retreat, there were so many soldiers in the city that they could retreat if they wanted to.
Once entangled by the Tang army, they can only be forced to face the enemy. Surrender only belongs to the lower-level soldiers. Those generals will not surrender at all. This is the method of the King of Goguryeo. Most of the family members of the generals who are outside live in Pyongyang, unless they don't care about anything. Regardless, it doesn't matter if you surrender, but who can abandon their family and family?
In the end, we have to bite the bullet and keep fighting until life and death!
At dawn, the fireworks in the city had not dissipated, and sporadic battles were still going on in the city. Cheng Yaojin stood on the tower, looking at the almost completely occupied Jian'an City with a smile on his lips.
After winning two cities in a row, the old guys in Chang'an who haven't set out yet will be jealous of this achievement, Cheng Yaojin thought, and smiled even more happily.
Next to Cheng Yaojin, a group of generals lined up on the left and right. Luo Zhang was also looking at Jian'an City. Luo Zhang originally thought that even if Su Wen Gaiyuan was defeated, he would at least lead a counterattack with his troops, but what he didn't expect was that However, Su Wen Gaiyuan ran away with the people immediately, which was beyond his expectation.
But it’s good to run away, at least they don’t have to face such a strong man. Otherwise, with Su Wen Gaiyuan leading the way, it won’t be so easy to take down Jian’an City. The casualties will probably not be small. When the time comes, Cheng Yaojin I'm afraid I won't be able to laugh anymore.
Just when Luo Zhang was thinking this, Cheng Yaojin said: "It's a pity that Su Wen Gaiyuan's guy ran away this time. I won't let him go next time I see him!"
When these words came out, Luo Zhang almost stumbled and fell. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen such shameless people. Luo Zhang didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to be so thick-skinned. He was really telling lies with his eyes open. Su Wen Gaiyuan If he were here, let’s see if he still dares to say this!
It's a pity that Su Wen Gaiyuan is not here, so Cheng Yaojin can only show off.
It was not until noon that the entire Jian'an City finally settled down, the battlefield was cleaned, and Cheng Yaojin and others successfully entered the city lord's palace.
While Luo Zhang and others were sitting in the city lord's palace discussing the subsequent march of troops, Su Wen Gaiyuan also rushed to Liaodong County with the remaining soldiers.
In Liaodong County, in the city lord's palace, Su Wen Gaiyuan looked at the generals in the hall with a dark face and said: "Are you all mute? I still can't figure out what happened. What do you guys eat?"
Listening to Su Wen Gaiyuan's furious words, all the generals lowered their heads, and no one said a word. It's not that they didn't check, but they were afraid that they would be reprimanded more severely if they revealed the results. Who dared to be the one who stood out.
After a long time, a veteran general said: "Sir, according to the information we gathered, the Tang army somehow knew our plan, and killed the men and horses who were ambushing the wood in the woods in advance, and also ambushed our troops in the camp for a sneak attack. , and then used the trick to annihilate Feng Bao’s army, which was originally planning to attack the Tang army, and finally changed into my Goguryeo clothes and deceived the city gate... I think you know what happened next!"
Hearing the old man's words, Su Wen Gaiyuan's eyes showed a cold light, and he glanced at everyone and said: "Tell me, why did my plan become known to the Tang army? I took the initiative to say that I might only kill you. If I find out, I will kill you." It’s not just one person, but your entire clan!”
No one doubted this. Su Wen Gaiyuan was famous for his ruthlessness in the court, but they didn't leak the news. How could they say it, let alone admit it? This kind of thing could be admitted casually. Yes!
"You're not talking, are you? Well, don't find out for me, otherwise I will destroy his entire clan!" Su Wen Gaiyuan said angrily.
While Cheng Yaojin and others were resting in Jian'an City, the news spread back to Chang'an as soon as possible.
In the court, all the ministers were shocked when they learned that the vanguard army led by Cheng Yaojin had even marched down the second city.
The new city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has a unique geographical advantage. It is not easy to capture it. Originally, the officials thought that it would be fast to capture it in half a month, but Cheng Yaojin only took half a day. It is no exaggeration to say that it was a miracle that it was captured.
The battle report was supposed to contain details on how to capture the new city, but apart from the news about the occupation of the new city, there were only statistics on battle losses and no other reports. This made everyone very curious and speculated.
Forgetting Xincheng, Jian'an City was captured in just one day. This is simply a way of using soldiers like a god. When did Cheng Yaojin become so powerful?
The only one who knew the truth was Li Shimin. He was very satisfied with the power of the artillery. He opened the city gate with one cannon. How could this city stop his army? It would not be long before they could reach Pyongyang!
