Chapter 1224 What's the point of holding on(1/2)

The emperor's mood was a little low.

The solidity of Cangzhou City has shocked him extremely.

But even so, Cangzhou City was still broken.

The enemy that is several times more than oneself is now in a desperate situation.

Thinking that I had never suffered such a big loss since I was a teenager, I didn’t expect that it would be so difficult in front of this mere Goguryeo.

The emperor's fists were clenched tightly.

"Xue Rengui, take my armor." After a long silence, the emperor suddenly spoke.

Xue Rengui turned around and saw the emperor staring at him.

I naturally understand the emperor's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, the front-line battlefield contains our Tang soldiers, and Your Majesty does not have to go to the battlefield in person." Xue Rengui persuaded the emperor.

"Then I will sit here and wait for death?" The emperor was a little angry.

He thought that if he went to the battlefield in person, even if he could not kill a few enemies, he would still let the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty know that he, the emperor, was fighting with them.

This will also boost the morale of the soldiers.

"Your Majesty, that's not what I mean."

"How can you take risks yourself as much as your majesty as a gold body?"

"Besides, before General Zhao left Cangzhou, he would like to express his orders to ensure the safety of His Majesty."

"If Your Majesty goes to the front line, it will be difficult for me..."

"You don't have to worry about my affairs. Besides, I believe that Zhao Chen can catch up with me." The emperor waved his hand and said to Xue Rengui.

The emperor said this, what else could Xue Rengui say?

I had to go and find the emperor with the golden armor.

The emperor put on his armor and went to Li Jing's command post.

When Li Jing saw the emperor's appearance, he immediately looked at Xue Rengui.

"Seeing how he is doing, I came here to cheer up my Tang men." The emperor spoke and sat in Li Jing's seat.

"What's the situation now?" the emperor spoke again.

Li Jing did not hold Xue Rengui accountable anymore, but bowed to the emperor and said, "Today, the city wall was broken, and the battle was in the gap, our army lost nearly 100 people, and the number of people lost to Goguryeo is about five times that of our army."

"After the city wall was lost, our army retreated to all streets and alleys and prepared to engage in street fighting."

"Because our army was prepared for a long time, the Goguryeo army suffered heavy losses."

"However, I am worried that Yuan Gaisuwen will ignite the whole city." Li Jing and the emperor talked about the situation today.

He also expressed his current worries.

Yeon Gassuwen is a cruel person.

I know that if I just send people into the city, they will be intercepted layer by layer.

Not only will the damage to a large number of soldiers, it will also delay the time to take over Cangzhou City.

Yoon Gaisuwen knew very well that the longer he dragged on, the more dangerous it was for them Goguryeo.

Therefore, Li Jing is now very worried that Yuan Gaisuwen will burn Cangzhou City on a large scale with tincture oil.

If so, the entire Cangzhou City would be destroyed.

They will also lose even the last place they stick to.

"Your Majesty, I and Duke Wei feel that once Yuangaisuwen burns the city, your Majesty will evacuate immediately."

"The city is gone, and it doesn't make any sense to stick to it anymore." Xu Shiji also spoke.

They were discussing this matter just now.

If Yuan Gai Suwen really burned Cangzhou City with a torch, then their army should have evacuated as soon as possible.

At least, in the days when Cangzhou City was destroyed, this city could still stop the Goguryeo army.

These few days are the best time for them to retreat.

The emperor was silent.

He didn't expect that things had developed to such a state.

If Cangzhou City is lost, Yuangaisuwen's army can march straight into the heart of the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of being forced to the Wei River by Turkic soldiers, the emperor's expression immediately became cold and stern.

"Yun Gaisuwen is so bold that I will destroy the nine clans in the future." The emperor left a harsh word, but no one took over.

It is not certain whether they can escape the pursuit of Yeon Gassuvin, let alone other things.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, go back and rest early." Li Jing said to the emperor.

He knew that he would definitely embarrass the emperor when he said this.

But now, the initiative is not with them.

Rather than saying something harsh here, it is better to go back and have a good rest.

"I know." The emperor looked at Li Jing, and even though he was extremely irritated at this moment, he did not say anything.

"Li Jing, is there any news from Zhao Chen?" The emperor turned around and left, but stopped at the door.

Li Jing was slightly stunned and shook his head again.

The last time they received the news, they also said that Zhao Chen took Li Tai.

There was no news after that.

None of them knows what the situation is now in Chang'an.

Even where Zhao Chen is now, they don’t know.

The emperor looked a little disappointed, sighed softly, and turned around and left the room.

Xue Rengui quickly followed, and the two in the room looked at the emperor's back and sighed the same way.

Perhaps, they all felt that if Zhao Chen was here, there might be a way to turn the world around.

...

"Zhao Da, why don't you take a break today." The days of running around really made Cheng Chumo feel extremely sleepy.

The four of them came out of Chang'an and did not have a good rest along the way.

Cheng Chumo felt that he couldn't hold on.

"Now there are still two hundred miles away from Cangzhou. Hold on, we should be able to arrive tomorrow morning." Zhao Chen spoke.

He was a little worried about the frontline war.

If you can arrive in Cangzhou as soon as possible, you can also feel more at ease.

"That……"

"thump--"

Cheng Chumo was about to agree when he saw Li Ke, the guy who turned off the horse's back.

"Little Li Zi!" Cheng Chumo was shocked.

Qin Huaiyu had already helped Li Ke up and took a closer look at his situation, but nothing happened.

Just snoring.

Obviously extremely tired.

"Zhao Da, Li Zi is asleep."

"Or let's take a break here. It's not a mistake to arrive in Cangzhou at noon tomorrow." Qin Huaiyu and Zhao Chen said.

They are really tired.

Otherwise, Li Ke would not have fallen asleep even if he rode on a horse.

Fortunately, they stopped talking now, otherwise Li Ke might have fallen in that corner.

These days, except for Zhao Chen's sweat and blood, the rest of the war horses of others have to change each time they arrive at the post station.

Otherwise, how could I come here so quickly?

At this moment, even though he was sweating and blood, he was lying aside to rest.

"After one night off." Zhao Chen nodded.

Too tired and rushing, it is also too dangerous.

Cheng Chumo breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pulled the horse to the side to feed the feed.

Qin Huaiyu supported Li Ke and rested under the tree beside him.
