Chapter 1709 Dramatic Showdown
This was really overwhelmed.
So Li Ji captured a prisoner and asked. It turned out that after their main force withdrew, Yuan Gaisuwen also led the main force to retreat quietly. If it were other cities, it would be fine. Pyongyang was his base camp. His concubines and ancestral tombs were all in Pyongyang. In addition, he also knew that King Gao Zang was passing orders everywhere, and he also used the commanders of Wenshamen's seal to send orders everywhere, so that the surrounding cities would surrender quickly. The situation was hopeless. If you want to resist again, the Tang army would dig your ancestral tombs at that time, so don't blame us.
Han Yi was just trying to make trouble. It doesn’t matter whether you surrender or not. You can just see this edict, just consider it yourself.
Yuan Gai Suwen was so angry that if he continued to play like this, the surrounding defenders would put down their weapons and surrender, which would be very embarrassing. King Gaozang might have confirmed the throne with these edicts. Because this was not the military order he had passed on, the soldiers who had surrendered at this time would definitely not be loyal to him, because everyone knows his temper and has surrendered. If he rebels, he will definitely die.
When Yeon Gaisuwen saw that Li Ji had left, he immediately returned to Pyongyang.
After Li Ji, Xue Rengui, Gao Kan and others learned the news, they only left a few people watching the prisoners, and they immediately set off and chased after them.
After chasing for two or three days, I came to the Sashui area. I saw that there was a melee between the two sides of the Sashui River. The sky was dark and the earth was dark, and blood was flowing into a river. The entire Sashui River was almost dyed red.
It turned out that after taking Pyongyang, Su Dingfang continued to march northward and prepared to cooperate with Li Ji to attack the main force. He did not expect that Li Ji had withdrawn, but just after he reached Sashui, he happened to meet Yuan Gaisuwen's main force returning to defense. Yuan Gaisuwen saw that the Tang army was coming out, which was really difficult, so he forced his crossing with the absolute advantage of his troops. Su Dingfang was just preparing to cross the river, and at that time he could not stop Yuan Gaisuwen from crossing the river.
The brave ones won when they met on this narrow road, and Su Dingfang was never afraid of Yuen Gaisuwen. Moreover, the encounter was Su Dingfang's strength, so he immediately adjusted his formation and fought with Yuen Gaisuwen.
Both of them are fierce men and the troops are elite, and they fight very well.
But how could he know that before the battle took place, Ashinamisha led ten thousand cavalry troops to join the battle immediately.
Yuan Gai Suwen was also calm in the face of danger and ordered Yang Wanchun to lead his army to fight against the enemy. Because all three of them thought they were fighting against the enemy, they could not think of any way out. Because of many external factors, no one knew the entire situation, and there were too many changes in an instant. Everyone was very confused, but they all knew that the winner of this battle would be the final winner, and the commander all went on the battle in person, and who still had time to guide the country?
This is very funny. Such a large-scale battle to destroy the country ended up using an encounter that no one expected to decide the victory or defeat. All tactics and strategies are bullshit. Don’t think about it anymore. In the end, you have to rely on naked fighting to decide the victory or defeat.
But this is the charm of war, which changes rapidly and the ending is unpredictable.
Of course, Yuan Gaisuwen also believed that this must be the last Tang army.
Li Ji, who had just arrived, saw that the Goguryeo army was open with a wide door, and there was no defense at all. No one expected that Yuan Gai Suwen would come back.
This is Li Ji's favorite thing to take your life while you are sick and immediately lead the entire army to cover it up from behind.
The Goguryeo soldiers originally felt that the situation was a little bad after Ashinami's shooting appeared, but they still had hope to defeat the enemy. After all, they had the advantage of numbers and were fighting locally. Now, Tang troops came to attack later, and they were all collapsed. The Goguryeo soldiers immediately dispersed. The people behind were all dispersed, and the ones in front were still playing a ball.
When the Tang army soldiers saw Li Ji's military flag, many people shouted: "The chief executive is here!"
For a time, morale was greatly boosted.
"God will destroy me!"
Yoon Gassuwen sat on the horse, and his whole body felt like he was defecating, which could no longer be saved.
"You guys quickly cover Damo's retreat, I'm blocking it here."
Yang Wanchun yelled.
The eldest son Yuan suddenly reacted, "Father, go quickly."
Without waiting for Yeon Gassuwen to react, he slapped Yeon Gassuwen's ass on the butt with a big knife.
Yuan Gaisuwen's third son Yuan Mai also rushed over to protect Yuan Gaisuwen.
"Old thief, look at the gun!"
Yang Wanchun's roar immediately attracted Xue Rengui's attention. This guy was the most hateful. How many Tang soldiers died at his hands. Now the enemy is really jealous when they meet. He rushed towards Yang Wanchun with a spear.
"Don't let Yeon Gassuewen go."
Su Dingfang, who was behind, saw that Yuan Gai Suwen was about to escape and shouted hurriedly.
I heard a very calm voice vaguely, "He can't escape!"
Before he finished speaking, a white shadow flew past.
It was Dugu Wuyue.
"Fourth brother, please protect your father and leave first."
When the boy Yuan saw Dugu Wuyue coming, he immediately slapped his horse to meet him.
"Wuyue, keep chasing. Leave this kid to me."
Yuan Liehu rushed up first, just to open the mountain axe, and the boy Yuan raised his gun to block it, but he misjudged Yuan Liehu's power. With a sound of fire, the boy Yuan fell off the horse. Yuan Liehu was stunned immediately, "Why is it so vulnerable - Wuyue, wait for me!" He slapped the horse and chased after him.
But Dugu Wuyue would not wait for him, but now Dugu Wuyue's eyes are only Yuan Gaisuwen.
Yuan Gaisuwen fled, and that also announced that the battle was coming to an end.
All the main forces of Yoon Gassuwen were almost wiped out in this battle, and it could be declared that Goguryeo was destroyed.
"Haha, Brother Su defeated Pyongyang with his own strength. It really made Mao Gong admire him!"
Li Ji held his fist at Su Dingfang in awe.
Calling Su Dingfang "Brother Su", it can be seen that Li Ji was sincerely speaking. He was really grateful to Su Dingfang. If Su Dingfang had not conquered Pyongyang, that battle would have failed, and so many changes would have been impossible.
Su Dingfang was frightened and bowed, and said with a fist, "How dare you? How dare you? Dingfang is really ashamed of you."
Su Dingfang was two years older than Li Ji, but their identities and status were incomparable, because Su Dingfang had not been promoted for twenty years, and it was not until Li Zhi ascended the throne that he began to promote him, and his official career was very despicable.
"To destroy Goguryeo today, Brother Su is a great contribution!" Li Ji was very excited to hold Su Dingfang's hand, and tears were about to come out. He had already given up. Now he will destroy Goguryeo in one battle. This big ups and downs is too exciting.
Su Dingfang hurriedly said: "The chief executive doesn't know that our army can break the city by relying on Han Shangshu's clever plan. Otherwise, Su would find it difficult to break the city."
Li Ji said oh, "What's going on?"
Asanami Sho also came over and said, "This is impossible. Is it possible that Han Yi wants to take over the credit? I know the kid's ability. He is good at evil ways, so how can he do it in war?"
"This is true."
Su Dingfang smiled and nodded, then briefly told Han Yi's attacking tactics to Li Ji and Ashina Mi.
After hearing this, the two looked at each other. They never expected that they would break through the city gate with three hundred flying team members.
"I'm not wrong, he is a wrong way!"
Asuna Michi said immediately.
The three of them immediately burst into laughter.
"By the way, where is Han Yi?"
Li Ji suddenly looked around.
Su Dingfang said: "He is still in Pyongyang City."
Han Yi was so afraid of death, how could he come to such a dangerous place? The fast horses were all at the North Gate and ready to escape at any time.
Li Ji nodded slightly.
Su Dingfang said again: "The chief executive can go to Pyongyang first, so let's hand it over to the lower officials."
A hint of excitement flashed in Li Ji's eyes, but then he said, "Forget it, I have to rush back to Chang'an."
Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment and said, "But because of Tubo?"
Li Ji said: "What do you already know?"
Su Dingfang nodded.
Li Ji sighed: "Actually, a few days ago, His Majesty had sent an edict to withdraw my troops quickly. We were already on the way back, but we rushed over when we heard the news that you had broken Pyongyang."
Su Dingfang was sweating in a cold sweat when he heard this. If it weren't for Li Ji, Ashinami's shot would have been unknown, and he said, "What's the situation over there?"
Li Ji shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics, but judging from His Majesty's edict, the situation should be very bad."
When Su Dingfang heard this news, the joy of victory was immediately diluted a lot.
Just then, Xue Rengui suddenly escorted someone over and said, "Master General, what should I do with this person?"
It was Yang Wanchun.
Li Ji glanced at him with a slanted glance, Yang Wanchun snorted and turned his head aside.
Li Ji sneered and said, "I'm overestimating my ability when I'm driving a chariot with my mantis arm. I'll take it down and hand it over to the ambassador with the other prisoners. I don't have time to deal with this small matter."
When Yang Wanchun heard this, his eyes blew fire and glared at Li Ji.
Li Ji didn't really want to see this face, he just waved his hand gently.
Xue Rengui immediately grabbed Yang Wanchun and went down.
Asanami sighed, "It's a pity that I didn't catch Yuan Gasuvin."
Su Dingfang said: "Dugu Wuyue has already chased me before, and I have sent someone to support me."
Li Ji said: "No matter whether you chase it to the ends of the world, you must capture this person, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
Su Dingfang clasped his fists and said, "The official understands."
Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly looked around and said, "Is there a mountain nearby? Can you see Pyongyang City?"
Su Dingfang was stunned at first, then pointed back, "The mountain over there should be a view of Pyongyang City."
Li Ji looked up and saw that the mountain was very far away from them. He hesitated for a while and sighed, "Let's forget it."
He dreamed that he would one day conquer Goguryeo and be the first to invade Pyongyang. Now Goguryeo has been conquered by him, but it was not the first to invade Pyongyang. It was still a little different from what he imagined.
There are regrets everywhere in this life!
