Chapter 100: Destroying the Country (1)

Songyue City, royal palace.

The bowman pointed at Shen Chongqian, who was covered in blood and knelt in the hall to apologize, and his teeth were trembling all over. Because the amplitude was too large and the movement was too fierce, he wore the mighty and gorgeous royal robe on his body, "slowing and undulating".

Gongzi felt that his chest was like a big rock, like a thorn in his throat. He couldn't speak many words without singing, and his lips were trembling for a while, but he couldn't say a word.

He reacted so much, half of it was anger and half of it was fear.

This is naturally because Pei Xuanqing and Shin Chongqian were not good at fighting. Not only did he lose Pyongyang City, the 300,000 most elite army of Goguryeo were also completely damaged. The performance of the Tang army in this battle was as if the demon god had descended to the world and the heavenly soldiers descended to earth, which made the archer so tight that he wanted to vomit blood.

"Tell me! Have you surrendered to the Tang Dynasty secretly, colluded with the Tang army, plotted against Pei Xuanqing, and betrayed the soldiers of the three armies?!" Gong Yi stepped in front of Shen Chongqian a few steps, grabbed the other party's neck and lifted it up, and asked with a distorted facial features and a ferocious look.

"Master...why did you say this?" Shen Chongqian's cultivation was suppressed, and his face was soon bluish and he was panting and he was having difficulty breathing.

"If it weren't for this, how could this king be defeated by a mere 100,000 Tang army in half a day? It must be you, you, a treacherous! A traitor! He actually betrayed his country!"

The bowman's eyes were scarlet, his eyes seemed to disappear, and his hair was even more crazily dancing. The spiritual energy was sweeping violently in China, causing a gust of wind. The man seemed to have become a demon and poured Shen Chongqian on the ground, smashing a big pit, and dust was flying.

He still couldn't relieve his hatred and his movements never stopped. Shen Chongqian became a doll in his hand. He threw it left and right and poured it out deep pits on the ground. Gravel shot out, and all the palace maids and eunuchs around him were affected by the fish in the pond. Blood was splattered all over his body, and they screamed and flew backwards one after another.

While beating Shen Chongqian, the gongren kept roaring like a beast: "You treacherous minister, for the sake of glory and wealth, dare to ruin my country. I will definitely destroy your soul and soul!"

"I came from a royal family and had extraordinary talent since I was a child. Now I have a high level of cultivation. I have a strong general and good ministers. I have been circulating in Goguryeo for nearly ten years and are destined to become a hero. How dare you, a bastard, ruin my efforts?!"

The monk guards in the palace rushed over when they heard the movement and saw the archers dancing wildly with red eyes. They all trembled and did not dare to act rashly.

As for the first civil servant of the Hou Goguryeo in the other party's hand, his bones and tendons were broken, his flesh and blood were completely gone, and he looked like a freshly cut pork chop, bloody.

Shin Chongqian faced the siege of the Tang army monks in Pyongyang City. He worked hard to break through the siege in a life-and-death situation. He ran back to the capital to report the military situation on the front line. However, he ended up like this, which was really miserable.

I don't know how long it took, but the bowman finally stopped. He lost the head in his hand - Shen Chongqian had broken into countless pieces of meat, scattered all over the hall, blood was splashed like ink, and only one head was still intact.

Now the human head rolled to the side, just as his facial features were facing upwards, bleeding from seven orifices, and his fearful expression was still frozen.

The archer's anger subsided slightly, but the redness in his eyes did not fade. He lowered his head and walked back and forth several times in the hall, looking like he was looking for the enemy who killed his father.

Finally, he roared outside the hall gate, "Send the order that all the soldiers of the royal capital gather, and I will go out to fight with Li Ye!"

After the order was issued, Gongzi began to bury his head in the hall again, muttering constantly: "I am the King of Hou Goryeo. I have hundreds of thousands of troops, thousands of miles of land! I have great luck, and a treacherous person, how can I ruin my major affairs?"

"I want to unify the Three Kingdoms, ascend the throne and become emperor, and establish unprecedented achievements! I want to be remembered for generations, praised by future generations, and enjoy supreme power! How could I be defeated?!"

After capturing the city of Pyongyang, the army only took a short rest and crossed the Datong River to continue to march southward, and the troops headed straight to Songyue, the capital of the Goguryeo king.

Although the peninsula is not large, there are many cities. Li Ye only brought an army of 100,000, so he was not interested in scattered troops to capture various prefectures and counties.

The Goguryeo City, which was blocking the army's path, could not reflect what Li Ye expected, either running away or falling in the wind.

Of course, there were also two fearless lords and guards who sacrificed their lives to stop the Tang army for a while.

The result is naturally self-evident. The military's mass destruction magic weapons were not used. The great monks in the marching army easily destroyed the opponent's city defense and fighting spirit.

The territory of the latter Goguryeo was equivalent to a vassal state in the Tang Dynasty. Although the city had a larger population and stronger strength, the strength of this level could be ignored in front of the 100,000 Tang troops today.

Originally, Li Ye predicted that he would not encounter strong resistance before arriving in Songyue. Even when he arrived in Songyue, the Gongzi would stay in the city and defend it. It would be good if he could resist and not surrender.

What he didn't expect was that the army was still fifty miles away from Songyue, and the scout monk actually returned, saying that the bowman came with more than 200,000 troops.

"Within sixty miles between the two armies, there are no great barriers and strong cities and fortresses. Can the archers still want to fight with our army in the field?" Zhao Polu was surprised when he heard the scout's return.

To be honest, Li Ye didn’t know what the other party was thinking. It was very difficult for the more than 200,000 Goryeo army to defend the city. Now the other party takes the initiative to come out of the wilderness to fight the army. What is the difference between sending death?

Li Ye didn't think that some people like to die, and he didn't think that as the lord of a country, the Gongren would lose his mind to do so. This is unreasonable. The only reasonable explanation is that the other party has other plans and other plans.

"What exactly does the Gongyan mean?" Li Ye fell into deep thought.

The Goryeo terrain and cities were all in his mind, including the garrison of the army in various places, and their strength was long been collected by the Qingyi Yamen, and they were also in his mind.

The only problem that the army has not solved now is that it is going straight forward, and there are no troops to capture the cities of the left and right prefectures and counties. Could it be that the archers plan to mobilize residents of the whole country to flock to all sides, and many ants bite the elephants to death?

If it is an ordinary situation, this situation may not have happened, but it is absolutely impossible now. If an ant colony wants to bite the elephant to death, it must be able to entangle the elephant. But now a hundred thousand troops are unstoppable. No matter whether it is a strong pass or an enemy, it cannot stop the army from crushing directly.

Besides, there were many great monks in the army, who were monitoring the situation in various places on both wings. Li Ye did not hear their rewards, saying that Goryeo troops gathered from all directions and attacked - not only did the Goryeo people on both sides did not surround him, but the city gates were closed and they were huddled in it.

"Or it is, the bowmen also have a surprise weapon that can threaten the food road behind our army?" Li Ye continued to deduce the situation of the battle, and in the end he could only think of this possibility.

In terms of the situation of military use, the army was suspected of going deeper and deeper. In addition, they only occupied a city along the way and did not clear the flanks. If Goryeo really hid a surprise soldier in advance, it would indeed be possible to attack the army's ration road.

But this is just in theory, and there is no practical possibility at all.

The territory of the latter Goguryeo was less than a thousand miles apart from north to south. The important city of Pyongyang in the north is even north of the Datong River, which is equivalent to being "single outside the border". A hundred miles northeast of the city is the control of the Bohai Kingdom.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the Goryeo army to attack Pyongyang City. Even if they want to, they will not be able to succeed with the defenders who stayed in Pyongyang City.

As long as Pyongyang City is not lost, no matter which surprise soldier that may exist or does not exist, appears at the rear of the army, once the new Wolf Tooth Army cavalry in Pyongyang City and the new Wolf Tooth Army cavalry following the army are deployed, they will definitely be able to reach within two days.

With the speed and physique of a ferocious beast and war horse, this surprise soldier will not appear. Once it appears, it will be chased and killed soon.

Besides, there are great monks guarding the food road along the way.

So although the Tang army went deep alone and did not clear the flanks, Li Ye was not worried about any problems behind him.

So the question is, what exactly is Gongzi planning to do?

Li Ye thought hard, but couldn't think of any reliance on the Gongyan who could turn the tables.

"If you pass the order, the great monks will come out in groups to explore the flanks of the army day and night, and if the Goryeo army appears, they must report it in time!" Li Ye did not ask the army to postpone the trip.

The great monks can also avoid being killed sporadically by mobilizing. Anyway, the Goryeo territory is so large, and there are many great monks in the army, which is enough to monitor various places.

Two days later, the army met the Goryean army led by Gongzi in a low hilly area.

The two sides arranged their troops five miles apart, and then the Gonggeng actually took the initiative to attack. Li Ye did not hesitate at all and ordered the army to give the other party a head-on attack.

The battle process is not good.

First, the great monks on both sides fought in mid-air. The monks of the Tang Dynasty quickly defeated the great monks of Goryeo with their number and realm advantages and obtained air superiority.

Then with the cooperation of the great monks, the infantry army advanced. Before the two sides met, the powerful magic weapon, the powerful crossbow in the Tang army took the lead in showing their power. After several rounds of volleys, the front lines of the Goryeo army in front of all large and small armies were all killed and injured, and the team was in chaos.

The Tang army infantry relied on the advantages of armor and soldiers and took advantage of the momentum to attack fiercely, and quickly rushed into the Goryeo army formations everywhere. With the bows left and right, they quickly captured one mountain bag after another.

The new cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army divided into dozens of strands, assaulted from the flanks, cooperated with infantry soldiers to divide and surround the hills controlled by the Goryeo army and wipe out one by one.

The battle lasted for only two hours, and the Goryeo army was already full of corpses and blood flowed into rivers. The battle situation was no essential difference from Pyongyang City. They were all one-sided massacres, and the Goryeo army formation could not even defend.

Three hours later, the Goryeo army was completely defeated, and the soldiers threw away their armor and fled in scattered.

At this time, the great monks still did not find any signs of Goryeo military and civilians flocking in a radius of hundreds of miles. The great monks behind the army rewarded Li Ye once in one hour, but did not find any Goryeo surprise soldiers.

After the afternoon of the battle, the situation became that the Tang army was chasing the Goryeo soldiers all over the mountains.

Before dusk, the Tang army won the victory and withdrawn the troops, and Zhao Polu captured the Gongyi of the Later Goryeo.

Looking at the soldiers returning to the camp, Li Ye touched his chin, but still couldn't figure out what it meant to lead the army to fight on its own initiative. Seeing that Zhao Polu brought Gong Yi back, Li Ye decided to ask in person.

After meeting the Gongzi, Li Ye finally understood why the other party took the initiative to attack.
