After two rounds of artillery bombardment, Luo Zhang looked at Li Jing and said, "Li Shuai, how long will it take before we give the order to cross the river to pursue the Gaoguli people?"
After receiving Luo Zhang's reminder, Li Jing finally recovered from the shocking scene in front of him and hurriedly ordered to the messenger beside him: "The entire army crosses the river and pursues the Gaoguli Army!"
After the order was given, Cheng Yaojin and others' blood boiled. The bloody scene not only did not frighten them, but also aroused their bloody nature. They wanted to catch up with the Gaoguli people and kill them immediately.
One after another, the small boats that had been prepared long ago were pushed down the river, and the famous Tang soldiers with helmets and armors boarded the boats one after another and headed towards the other side of the river.
Luo Zhang also went to do his work. The artillery was very heavy and ordinary small boats could not carry it to the other side. Instead, some larger ships were needed.
Before that, Luo Zhang had already found many cargo ships on the Liao River near Liaodong County that were escaping from the war, and they were requisitioned by him.
But even so, a cargo ship can only carry one artillery, so the delivery speed is not fast. Fortunately, chasing Cui Dunshi's army does not require the participation of artillery. The artillery is used to attack Pyongyang, so there is no rush.
After bombarding the Gaoguli people for two rounds, the distant sea ships stopped bombarding and retreated towards the entrance of the Liao River to make way for the army's ships. If they did not retreat, the Liao River would be blocked. How could they cross the river.
One small boat after another crossed the Liao River at an extremely fast speed, formed a team on the other side of the river, and pursued the fleeing Gaoguli people.
Everyone is scrambling for the first place, for fear of being overtaken by others. You must know that it is easiest to gain military merit when chasing the enemy. Every head is military merit. How can you miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? If you are slow, your military merit will be snatched away by others. If it goes away, it will be a big loss.
The first wave of people to cross the river was none other than Cheng Yaojin, who was the most active one, followed closely by Yuchi Jingde. The two of them were incompatible and had been fighting for their entire lives, neither of them surrendering to the other.
It only took a quarter of an hour for the two teams to catch up with the fleeing Gaoguli people. The main reason was that the Tang army had war horses, but the Gaoguli people's horses were too frightened by the two rounds of artillery bombardment and ran away long ago. .
Therefore, the people of Koguryo were running on two legs, so it was understandable that they would be overtaken.
At this time, the people of Gaoguli wished that their parents had two more legs, but this was impossible. No matter how fast they ran, they could not escape the pursuit of the Tang army.
Screams kept coming, and a Gaoguli man was caught up by the Tang army, and he was immediately killed with a sword without any hesitation.
On the shore, artillery pieces were also transported ashore.
After arranging the artillery transportation, Luo Zhang stopped taking care of it. Instead, he drove his horse to the entrance of Liaohe River and waited there. After a while, a group of people got off the ship in the distant sea. It was Liu Renyuan. Zheng Shuang and two others.
Seeing Luo Zhang, the two of them bowed and saluted: "I have met you, sir!"
"You don't need to be so polite. You have made a great contribution by arriving on time this time and destroying the port of Gaoguli. I will let Marshal Li Jing report your achievements to His Majesty. You will be rewarded when the time comes!" "Luo Zhang talked eloquently.
"Thank you, sir!" There was a smile on the faces of the two of them. They worked so hard. In addition to repaying Luo Zhang for his kindness, the rest was just for military merit and to be able to become his wife. After this battle, by the way, With these military exploits, they can at least be promoted to a higher rank. If they are unhappy, there will be trouble.
They knew that Luo Zhang would never deduct the military merits of his soldiers, so they were very relieved.
"You don't need to stay here now. After boarding the ship, immediately go south to search. If you encounter Gaoguli warships, they will be sunk. You must not give the Gaoguli people a chance to escape. You can disperse the warships. Now Gaoguli Li doesn't have too many warships, and one high-sea ship is enough to deal with those scattered Gaoguli warships." Luo Zhang warned.
"Yes, sir!" Liu Renyuan and Zheng Shuang bowed and accepted the order.
"Go on, after this defeat, those in Pyongyang City will probably want to escape!" Luo Zhang waved his hand.
The two of them didn't say anything more, boarded the distant sea ship again, and searched towards the south of the Liaodong Peninsula.
