Zhao Chen looked up and it took him a long time to recognize the person in front of him.

When I and Li Ruoshuang went to Cangzhou City, I stayed in the inn of the person in front of me for a long time.

"Shopkeeper has not seen you some days, so don't be fine." Zhao Chen smiled.

But I knew in my heart that since the shopkeeper of Cangzhou City Inn appeared here, it also means that something big happened in Cangzhou City.

At least, it is in danger.

Otherwise, according to what the inn shopkeeper and Zhao Chen said at the beginning, as long as Cangzhou City is still there, he will stay in Cangzhou City.

But now...

"Young Master Zhao, are you going to Cangzhou?"

"I listened to the next advice, don't go. Goguryeo didn't know where to get the tinea oil. The fire burned the Cangzhou city wall for four days and four nights."

"When we left, we heard an explosion from afar, and it was probably the city wall that collapsed." The shopkeeper and Zhao Chen talked about the situation in Cangzhou City.

"The walls of Cangzhou collapsed?"

"How is this possible? It was poured with cement." Cheng Chumo's face was full of disbelief.

At least he believes that cement is something Zhao Chen made, and he has also seen the strength of cement.

How could it be burned by the fire?

Qin Huaiyu was also awakened at this moment, with an incredible look on her face.

"How many days have you left Cangzhou City?" Zhao Chen didn't ask anything else. He just wanted to know that it had been a few days since the Cangzhou City Wall was burned.

"One day, we took a carriage on the road and didn't dare to stop for a moment. Fifty miles ago, the horse was exhausted, so we walked over."

"We are all afraid that the Goguryeo army will chase behind us." The shopkeeper and Zhao Chen said, his face full of fear and fatigue.

Zhao Chen nodded.

The shopkeeper wanted to advise Zhao Chen and the others not to go to Cangzhou, but it was obviously useless.

After taking some dry food handed over by Zhao Chen, the shopkeeper returned to his team and continued to walk forward.

"Brother, are we still going?" Li Ke also woke up and asked Zhao Chen with red eyes.

Now that Cangzhou City is broken, even if they are in the past, they will definitely not have much effect.

If the army is defeated, whether they go or not can change anything.

Li Ke felt irritable. He didn't quite understand why the Cangzhou City was burned down.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu also looked at Zhao Chen.

Waiting for Zhao Chen's decision.

Zhao Chen looked at the three of them, and he also understood that if Cangzhou City was broken, Yuangai Suwen's army would definitely march straight into it.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could not stop them.

But now the war is ahead, and they came here to protect the Tang Dynasty.

Retreat at this moment, where to retreat?

"Go." Zhao Chen only left one word with the three of them, which was to get up and horses on his body.

Cheng Chumo and the other two also got up from the ground and followed Zhao Chen closely.

...

That night, a fire spread throughout Cangzhou City.

After losing many soldiers in the street fighting, Yuan Gaisuwen immediately ordered the buildings at the gate of the city to be covered with rockets.

The flames rose into the air, and the north wind was howling at this time, and the wind spread toward the entire Cangzhou City with the fire.

Yuan Gaisuwen knew very well that if they did not use this trick to destroy all positions of the Tang army, they would not know how much time they would need to waste if they wanted to pass through Cangzhou City.

Cangzhou City is a military city with twists and turns inside, and I don’t know how many of them are.

If you don’t use the previous move, you will definitely continue to lose a large number of soldiers.

"Hui Zhen, you have performed very well these days. I see it all."

"This is a reward for you." In the camp, Yuan Gassuwen and Huizhen spoke.

The servants beside him sent a golden sword, which was given to Yongasuvin by Emperor Goguryeo.

Now he is rewarded by Yoon Gaisuwen to Huizhen.

When he saw this golden sword, the Goguryeo generals present instantly showed envy on their faces.

For them, this long sword means the trust of Yuan Gaisuwen.

Hui will definitely pay more attention to Yuugasuwen in the future, and this is something that everyone dreams of.

"Thank you, Madam." Huizhen took the long sword, her face full of joy.

Yuan Gaisuwen sat in the main seat, and Hou Junji looked in front of him with expressionless face.

"Mr. Hou, how should our army take action next?" Yuan Gai Suwen looked at Hou Junji and asked with a smile.

This time, it is thanks to Hou Junji's method to be able to break through Cangzhou City.

Yuan Gai Suwen even thought that if those people from the Tang Dynasty knew, the way to break through Cangzhou City was also thought of by Hou Junji.

Would you be so angry that you wanted to swallow Hou Junji alive?

"Now the fire in Cangzhou City is full of fire and thick smoke. Staying in the city will only be a dead end."

"So, the Tang army will definitely retreat south."

"We were blocked by the fire and we couldn't pursue it immediately."

"But it doesn't matter. When the fire is extinguished, our army can drive straight into it. All the Tang Dynasty cities along the way will fall into our hands."

"We have won this battle." Hou Junji said slowly, with a rare smile on his face.

The destruction of Cangzhou City means that the Tang army will no longer be able to stop them from advancing.

With the current military front of the Yuangaisuwen army, the Tang army will not be an opponent at all.

By then, if the city of Datang is captured, the enemy is weak and we are strong, and even the entire Datang will fall into their hands.

Hou Junji was a little relieved.

I have been with Yeon Gassumwan for so long, and I am finally about to complete my revenge.

Li Shimin!

Zhao Chen!

You will regret it.

Hou Junji thought to himself.

"Haha, Mr. Hou said it well. Now, we just need to wait and wait for the fire to end."

"At that time, it will be his Li Shimin's doom!"

"The person who came here will pass on the commander's military order. Today, we will cook cattle and sheep and reward the three armies with great rewards." Yuan Gaisuwen passed on the command.

...

Looking at Cangzhou City, which was trapped in a sea of ​​fire, an indescribable look appeared on the emperor's face.

"Your Majesty, it's time to leave, Cangzhou City is lost." Li Jing looked at the emperor, his voice trembling.

After holding on to Cangzhou City for several months, I finally lost the city.

Now the gate to the hinterland of the south is opened.

The entire Tang Dynasty is about to fall into war.

And now Li Jing has no way to do anything.

"Your Majesty, let's go." Xu Shiji also advised.

At this moment they left, at least before the fire was extinguished, the army of Yuangasuvin could not chase after him.

If they delay any further, they really won't go far.

"How many people are left now?" the emperor's eyes turned red slightly and he asked Xu Shiji.

"Thirty thousand people are more." Xu Shiji replied.

The city was defended for several months, which cost them too many people.

In addition, the city of Cangzhou was broken and the fire spread, so many soldiers lost the intention to fight.

Many soldiers lost contact.

"Thirty thousand." The emperor recited this number and looked at the fire-ridden Cangzhou City behind him.

"Let's go!" the emperor spoke, his expression on his face was already retracted.

Seeing that the emperor finally agreed to retreat, a hint of relaxation finally appeared on Xu Shiji's face.

All of them can die here, but the emperor cannot.

The most important thing in the entire Tang Dynasty was his emperor.

"Send the order and retreat." Xu Shiji shouted loudly.
Chapter completed!
