Chapter 99 The Battle of Pyongyang (4)

The cavalry formation composed of monks above the Qi Refining Stage is almost invincible on the battlefield of Pyongyang as long as the strength is not exhausted. Pei Xuanchen knew very well that his so-called elite cavalry could no longer have any vitality under the iron hooves of the Tang cavalry led by Chu Zheng, and he could only place hope on other Goguryeo cavalry.

"I have 100,000 elite cavalry. Even if my headquarters is damaged, other soldiers can still hang on the battlefield. As long as they fight hard, before the Tang cavalry in front of them will kill the Tang army and penetrate the Tang army infantry formation, we will still win this battle!"

Pei Xuanqing knew that he was in a desperate situation. In order to prevent himself from committing suicide on the spot, he had to tell himself that Goguryeo had not lost this battle.

He only saw the experience of his team, so he didn't believe it when he was killed. The other Tang army cavalry were as powerful as Chu Zheng's troops, and they were all composed of Qi training cultivators. In this way, he could still keep his Taoist heart and not collapse for the time being.

In comparison, Shen Chongqian, who was in the city, was not so lucky. He had a broader vision and did not have the Tang army to deal with it. He had enough energy to watch the entire battlefield.

Shen Chongqian, who fell on the steps in front of the city tower, had no blood on his face and his whole body trembled as if he was swaying. If he had a choice, he would rather not see anything, so he would not be so scared and desperate.

In his vision, the Goguryeo cavalry who rushed out of the city were intercepted head-on by Tang Jun.

In terms of the strength of both sides, the Goguryeo cavalry was more than three times that of the Tang army. However, when the two formations intersected, the Goguryeo cavalry was unilaterally tilted, as if they had encountered the tide of being knocked back by a cliff, rolling up large pieces of spiritual waves mixed with blood mist.

The Tang army cavalry battle formations surged forward like a torrent of war, but they could not see how they fought. The Goguryeo cavalry standing in front of them was like being dispersed, and the collapsed weeds were swallowed up by a siege!

Three city walls and six city gates, twelve Goguryeo cavalry, and even the shadow of the Tang army's infantry formation was not seen, and they were all hit by the Tang army's iron cavalry and all fell to the ground.

When the Tang army cavalry ran past, there was only blood left on the ground, and countless broken limbs were spread out on the ground, which was shocking. Hearing the wailing and screaming of the soldiers in the sea of ​​blood, Shen Chongqian seemed to have been dropped into the eighteen levels of hell, in pain and horror, and all his internal organs seemed to explode.

One hundred thousand Goguryeo cavalry, but they met the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Army. They just passed by one by one, and the battle was damaged by eight or nine out of ten.

The remaining one or two percent of the Goguryeo cavalry were mostly qi-training monks with good cultivation. They also abandoned their war horses at the critical moment of life and death. The frightened flock of birds flew away, and thus barely saved their lives.

But even though they were alive, their war horses were gone, and they were no longer cavalry.

Moreover, these people were all too frightened. Facing the Tang army cavalry like heavenly soldiers and generals, the three souls and seven spirits seemed to be incomplete. Not to mention that they did not have the fighting spirit to fight against the Tang army cavalry, they did not even have the courage to stay on the battlefield. Without military orders, they rushed back to the city wall, jumped to the top of the city, and never dared to show up again.

Shen Chongqian looked at the monks who were anxious like a broken dog and kept jumping into the city from his side. He could no longer bear the despair in his heart, and two lines of tears burst out from his eyes.

These monks are all the absolute elites of Goguryeo and the power of the country like a pillar. In the past ten years of war, they have also been real warriors who have experienced blood and fire, weathered and frost, and fought from the pile of dead people!

How many Silla troops have been defeated by them, how many Silla elite troops have been killed by them, how many Silla city has been captured by them...

But now, they took the initiative to fight against the Tang cavalry with several times the enemy's strength. Not to mention that they did not gain a single result in the battle, they would still be defeated when they met, and there was no look of warriors!

This is not the army! Even if a mouse meets a cat, it is the worst thing that is, isn't this situation?

Shin Chongqian stood up tremblingly, drew out his long sword, trying to stand on the top of the city, take on the role of a law enforcement team, and kill all those who dared to escape in the battle. However, the long sword had just been raised, but it was powerless to hang down.

The defeat of the Goguryeo army was not because the soldiers did not fight bravely, but because they had no fight at all. Even Shen Chongqian himself was frightened when he saw the iron cavalry of the Tang army who were all cultivators above the Qi Refining Stage and above, and his two legs were trembling!

"It's over...it's over, it's over...it's over..." Shin Chongqian threw away his long sword in dejectedly and sat down to the ground helplessly, feeling that he had no strength to stand up again.

"Your Majesty, the Goryeo army that left the city has been defeated by the new cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army. The last general asked the Jingqi to take advantage of the victory to pursue it and directly attack the city and completely occupy Pyongyang City!" Zhao Polu turned around and folded his fists, and asked Li Ye for orders.

Although the battle was short, it made people feel refreshed and satisfying. At this moment, Zhao Polu was no longer willing to delay any longer and was devoted to directly capturing Pyongyang City.

Previously, the magic weapon catapult and magic weapon crossbow bombarded the city head alternately, which caused heavy casualties and injuries to the Goguryeo army, greatly weakening the morale of the other party. Now that the Goguryeo cavalry who left the city has almost been destroyed, the morale of the Pyongyang City defenders will inevitably collapse. This is the best time to seize the city.

Li Ye agrees with Zhao Polu's judgment.

There is really no reason to disagree with it, and the situation is already obvious.

Li Ye waved his hand and said lightly: "The left and right wings intercepted the enemy army in the Acropolis, the main force of the cavalry directly attacked the city, and the infantry followed!"

"The last general will take the order!" Zhao Polu turned around and drew his sword, raised it high above the head, and then led to the city of Pyongyang, and issued an order to attack the entire army.

Pei Xuanqing led 100,000 cavalry out of the city and issued a military order, and the defending infantry had to fight with him. Therefore, the city gates were not closed and were rushed in by the Wolf Tooth Army.

The new cavalry of the Wolf-fang Army defeated the Goguryeo cavalry who had left the city. The speed was too fast. Before the subsequent infantry could finish the formation behind the city gate, they saw the Wolf-fang Army rushing over, and they were all so shocked that they turned around and ran away.

Just as the flood washed away the embankment, the Wolf Tooth Army entered Pyongyang City with an invincible momentum!

The Goguryeo infantry and cavalry rushed out of the left and right acropolis had just arrived at the battlefield and were about to show their skills. They cooperated with Pei Xuanqing to encircle several times and defeated the Tang army in one fell swoop. However, they were still hundreds of steps away from the city and saw the cavalrymen who left the city fell down like dandelions blown away by the wind.

The commander of the two armies was so shocked that his chin was almost falling to the ground. He was hesitating whether to attack or retreat, but he saw the iron cavalry of the Tang army running over with thunder.

The two generals had no choice but to order their troops to meet the enemy. As a result, there was no surprise. Before their offensive formation had completely become a defensive formation, the new cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army rushed into the formation, killing them to cry and cry, and their formation was in chaos.

The two Wolf-fang troops that blocked the Pyongyang Acropolis each had 5,000 cavalry. In a very short time, they killed seven in and seven out in a Goguryeo military formation of 40,000 to 50,000 people.

When they killed the Goguryeo soldiers for the last time, there was a mess left behind. Most of the Goryeo soldiers in the Acropolis did not even escape back to the city, and most of them lost their lives.

As the Tang army infantry outside Pyongyang attacked the city in large numbers, the defenders in the city retreated like a tide, and the war situation was no longer suspense. At the same time, the great monks in the Tang army also almost came out in full swing, sieging the city from all sides to kill Goguryeo monks, especially the great monks in the city.

When Li Ye saw this, he felt relieved. He looked up at the sky. From the time when the catapult began to bombard the city, it had only been an hour since time passed, and the battle situation was advancing very quickly.

Zhao Polu was very excited, turned around and fisted to Li Ye and said, "Your Majesty, this battle shows that our Tang Dynasty only needs 100,000 powerful troops, is enough to conquer all the surrounding unjust countries! This is the embodiment of the achievements of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the best proof of Your Majesty's great talent and strategy. I congratulate you!"

When he said this, his eyes were fierce and frenzy, and after that, he couldn't help but bow down on one knee. It seemed that if he hadn't been armoured, he would have kneeled down to Li Ye in a promising manner to express his supreme respect for His Majesty the Emperor.

Li Ye smiled and signaled that Zhao Polu would get up so that he would not lose his composure.

Although only 100,000 troops were sent to the peninsula in this battle, the military was extremely excellent, and there were 30,000 new cavalry of the Wolf-fang Army. Li Ye felt that it was natural to achieve such a battle result and there was nothing to be proud of.

This is the real combat power of the current Tang civilization and the power of the Tang Dynasty. The small country of Goguryeo is just the light of fireflies. How can it compete with the sun and the moon?

Li Ye's eyes fell on a corner of the battlefield and saw Pei Xuanqing.

Pei Xuanqing did not retreat to the city.

Compared with other cavalry teams that left the city, his team was actually the best. After all, Pei Xuanqing had a high cultivation level. Although he lost his war horse, he had been insisting on fighting, and his direct troops were still stronger.

At this point, more than a hundred people were still surrounded by him, but there were no war horses and they were besieged by hundreds of Tang army infantry. Even so, Pei Xuanqing still waved his sword and fought endlessly, shouting and never stopped for a moment.

As a great monk in the realm of Yangshen, he knew that the war was not good and defeat was inevitable. It was easy to escape. After all, Shen Chongqian ran away. But Pei Xuanqing didn't leave, he still fought on the ground, completely treating himself as an ordinary warrior.

Of course, the one who fought against him was also the great monks in the Tang army.

The Tang army did not have the tradition of knowing that the enemy generals were strong and using ordinary soldiers to come forward to die. The powerful generals and great monks in the army were used to deal with powerful enemies, and they all took action at this time.

The situation was hopeless. Although Pei Xuanqing was fearless in the battle, he was soon injured by several great monks of the Tang Dynasty. His armor was messy, his hair was loose, and he even vomited blood. He could barely stand firm. The Goguryeo warrior behind him quickly fell to the ground, leaving less than ten people left.

Li Ye came to the formation and signaled everyone to take action temporarily. He glanced at Pei Xuanqing, who was covered in blood, panting like a cow, and still holding the broken blade sword tightly, nodding in agreement.

He said, "I have no good feelings for Goryeo, but I have to say that you are a man. By this time, Pyongyang City is about to change hands, your failure is irreversible, and General Pei's fight is meaningless. If you are willing to surrender, I can consider giving you a way out."

When Pei Xuanqing saw Li Ye calling himself me, he knew his identity. His eyes were full of surprise, and he was admiring, and even a hint of unconcealed fear.

However, after hearing Li Ye's words, Pei Xuanqing straightened his waist, pointed at Li Ye with a long knife, and gritted his teeth and said, "As the chief general of Pyongyang, I am ineffective in fighting, and I am ruined by the country. Why do you live a secret life? The Tang Dynasty's powerful military magic weapon, and many military monks! Pei Xuanqing was unwilling to be defeated, but he was convinced.

"The power of the prosperous Tang Dynasty is indeed as bright as the sun, and it is difficult for me to resist Goguryeo in the future. But if Your Majesty wants to persuade me to surrender and humiliate me, he underestimated me, Pei Xuanqing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Xuanqing let out a beast-like roar, and took two steps forward and raised his sword to slash Li Ye.

Li Ye shook his head and sighed, "General Pei is indeed very charming. It's just that his hero and my enemy, since you are determined to die, I will fulfill you."

Li Ye didn't do it himself, and he didn't have to do it himself. The great monks on both sides rushed forward and knocked Pei Xuanqing into a blood mist before he could stop.

As for the remaining Goguryeo warriors, they were naturally killed by the Tang army.

Soon, Zhao Polu came to report with excitement: "Your Majesty, Pyongyang City has been completely captured by us. The defenders in the city were either killed or captured, and less than 10% of the escapees!"

When the soldiers around him heard this, they were all happy and saluted Li Ye together, "Congratulations to His Majesty for winning the Pyongyang City!"

Compared to the excitement of everyone, Li Ye looked calm. He raised his head with his hands, looked at the Pyongyang City Tower, and said suddenly: "Pyongyang City? My King's Army 100,000 will go on the expedition this time, not a Pyongyang City or a Koryo country. But the entire peninsula!"
