Chapter 1228: Hou Junji's Worries
The fire in Cangzhou City burned for three days and three nights.
The entire Cangzhou City was completely destroyed, with charred ruins everywhere.
When the Goguryeo army entered the city, there was no smell of any living creature.
Even the stones on the ground were burned to pieces by the fire.
"Master, the fire has been extinguished, and no living creature was found in the city."
"Those people from the Tang Kingdom must have escaped long ago." Huizhen and Yuan Gai Suwen reported the news from the soldiers below.
"Master, should we pursue them immediately?"
"If it's later, they'll all run away." Huizhen said to Yoon Gasuwen again.
Huizhen is now extremely eager to pursue the retreating Tang army.
In this way, he is very likely to catch Li Shimin.
As long as Li Shimin is captured, Yuan Gaisuwen promises that he can break the ground and be named king.
Huizhen was thinking about this.
Yuan Gaisuwen glanced at Huizhen and understood his thoughts in his heart.
In Yuan Gaisuwen's view, whether they pursue the defeated army of the Tang Dynasty or not, they have already won.
The army slowly and gradually eroded the Tang Dynasty's cities, plundered property, and plundered the population.
They will become stronger than ever.
If this continues, it is only a matter of time to reach Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
Wouldn't it be easy to catch Li Shimin then?
However, Yoon Gaisuwen didn't want to refuse Hye-jin either.
It is rare that these guys are so active, and if they reject him, they will be unbeautiful.
"The Tang army has retreated, so our army can naturally pursue the victory."
"Hui Zhen, I am the commander to lead my 50,000 Goguryeo soldiers as vanguards and pursue the fleeing Tang army."
"If you catch Li Shimin, no matter how alive or dead, your previous promise will still be valid."
"Go." Yuan Gai Suwen said, waving his hand with Huizhen.
"Yes, Grandmaster." Huizhen looked happy, thanked Yoon and Gasuwen and left quickly.
The other generals in the tent all showed envious eyes.
Everyone knows that if Huizhen really captures Li Shimin, then this contribution will definitely be a huge contribution.
"Mr. Hou, our army won a great victory, why are you still unhappy?" Yuan Gai Suwen turned around and saw Hou Junji being serious and confused.
"Master, although our army has won, I feel that Master's move to let General Huizhen pursue Li Shimin is a bit hasty."
"Two years ago, the Tang Dynasty fought against Tubo, and the sky-bombing cannon was born, and the attacks made Tubo dare not even raise his head."
"This time our army fought with the Tang army, and the sky cannon has never appeared on the battlefield."
"I think I have to be careful, otherwise..."
"Mr. Hou felt that Li Shimin would use the sky-bombing cannon on us at the end of his journey." Yuan Gaisuwen frowned.
He had heard of the power of the sky cannon.
I also know that the thing was invented by Zhao Chen, which brought great lethality to Tubo.
Even the guy Songtsen Gampo is now trapped on the plateau because he is afraid of that thing.
Yuan Gaisuwen was also worried that he would meet him before, but it was strange that the Tang army was defeated so many times.
But I didn't see the sky-booming cannon appear.
Over time, Yuan Gaisuwen even suspected that the Tiankong Cannon of the Tang Dynasty had been lost.
Today, when Hou Junji talked about this thing, Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"I now suspect that Zhao Chen did not agree to use the sky-bombing cannon on the battlefield at the beginning."
"But now, the Tang army is retreating step by step, and even endangering the entire Tang Dynasty's country. Even if Zhao Chen doesn't want to, he will use this thing."
"So..." Hou Junji did not continue.
But Yuan Gaisuwen already understood what he meant.
If the Tang Dynasty was forced to have no way out, then the Sky Cannon would most likely appear on the battlefield.
Yuan Gaisuwen didn't know what he should say.
Even if there were sky-bombing cannons in the Tang Dynasty, he could not say that he would not send troops to pursue him directly.
If you miss such a good opportunity, when the Tang Dynasty recovers, he will die of Yuan Gaisuwen.
Even the entire Goguryeo will become a funeral for this war.
"Master, I just reminded me that it's always good to be careful."
"To be honest, General Huizhen is brave but not resourceful. The best result of this is of course to take Li Shimin, but if the bad result is, he may not be able to come back." Hou Junji left a sentence at the end, and said to Yuan
Gassuwen bowed his hand and left the tent.
In the camp, Yuan Gaisuwen didn't speak for a long time.
...
Li Jing was also extremely surprised by Zhao Chen's arrival.
After all, the chaos in Chang'an was quelled in such a short time, which was really a quick knife to cut the mess.
The Xuanjia Army was handed over to Zhao Chen again. When he learned that Zhao Chen was going to use the Sky Cannon on Yuangai Suwen's army, Li Jing just nodded and did not say anything else.
In today's situation, they are already at the end of the road.
Although the sky-bombing cannon was cruel, Li Jing felt that this method was the safest compared to the entire Tang Dynasty.
In two days, the sky-booming cannon transported from Chang'an finally arrived at the front line.
The court is full of its own people, and the transport army is also Cheng Yaojin's confidant, otherwise it would not have been so fast.
The gourd mouth is a huge plain that can accommodate 30,000 people. The whole shape is similar to the gourd mouth, which is narrow on the outside and loose on the inside.
As long as Yuan Gaisuwen's army enters the gourd, they will be pierced into the gourd.
By then these people will become the unjust souls in the mouth of Hulu.
At the same time, news came from the scouts in front that Yuen Gai Suwen's general Huizhen was chasing them with 50,000 troops.
At this moment, it was less than fifty miles away from the gourd where they were.
"Zhao Chen, the scout came to news that Huizhen was carrying 50,000 people, less than fifty miles away from us." Xu Shiji and Zhao Chen talked about the situation ahead.
"Hui Zhen!" Qin Huaiyu immediately showed a fierce look on his face when he heard Hui Zhen's name.
Everyone understood that Qin Qiong died in the hands of Huizhen, and Qin Huaiyu wanted to seek revenge on him.
"Qin San, you will be instructed by your command of this Hulukou battle." Zhao Chen looked at Qin Huaiyu and said.
"Me?" Qin Huaiyu stood there in a daze.
There are so many generals here, some of whom are good at commanding. Why is Qin Huaiyu?
"What, don't you dare?" Zhao Chen looked at Qin Huaiyu with his eyes.
"Dare!" Qin Huaiyu reacted immediately.
Zhao Chen is asking himself to seek revenge.
"The last general takes the order." Qin Huaiyu bowed to Zhao Chen, his face cold and stern.
The rest of the people didn't speak.
The emperor asked Zhao Chen to command everyone with all power. They opposed it, which was also opposing the emperor's resolution.
Besides, what do they oppose?
Without Zhao Chen, they would be the opponent of the hundreds of thousands of troops of Yuan Gaisuwen?
"If our army wins tomorrow, Huizhen's defeated army will definitely flee. There are two peaks on both sides of the gourd mouth."
"The rest of the generals must block two possible escape directions."
"Fifty thousand Goguryeo soldiers, I want to fill them with the Gourd Valley." Zhao Chen said slowly, his eyes swept over the generals.
When Li Jing and Xu Shiji heard Zhao Chen's words, their expressions changed slightly.
Zhao Chen obviously did not leave any living mouths for the Goguryeo soldiers.
Fifty thousand people were killed?
