Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 824
After the reinforcements sent by Yuangai Suwen to Gaimu were intercepted by Cheng Mingzhen, Xu Shiji led his troops to conquer the two cities of Yanjin and Nansu, and immediately went south to join forces with Li Junxian to besiege the new city.

Facing the [-] Tang army, the defender of Xincheng surrendered without fighting, and resolutely gave up resisting the Tang army.Xu Shiji and Li Junxian led the army to occupy Xincheng.

After the Xincheng was lost, Xu Shiji and Li Junxian left part of their troops to guard the main pass of the Xincheng, and then led the elite to take down Guiduan, Mudi, and Cangyan one after another within seven days.

Cities fell one after another, and the news reached Yuan Gai Suwen, which finally made him panic.

At this moment, in Liaodong City, Xie Shufang had already approached the city.

Yuan Gai Suwen is now in a dilemma, either retreat or stick to Liaodong.As for supporting the flanks, that was impossible, because he had to guard against Xie Shufang.

If Liaodong is lost, he can only continue to retreat.

"Damn!"

He kicked away the messenger soldier, and he was furious.

Xie Shufang besieged the city without attacking, which made the soldiers under his command panic. On the flanks, the city in his hands was constantly being lost.He understood that this was Tang Jun's strategy to lure the enemy, which made him mistake where the main force of Tang Jun was.

"Don't allow Tang Jun to continue fighting, we must stop them."

He himself didn't have many soldiers and horses to send out to rescue, so he decisively asked Gao Jianwu for help.If he perished, Gao Jianwu would not be able to escape, he was sure that Gao Jianwu would not dare to sit idly by.

And Gao Jianwu really didn't dare to sit idly by.

After getting the news that the Tang Army attacked Yuan Gai Su Wen, Gao Jianwu was quite happy at first, because the Tang Army could help him consume Yuan Gai Su Wen, but then the Tang Army attacked all the way, and Yuan Gai Su Wen retreated steadily. On a level, this made Gao Jianwu panic.If Tang Jun was allowed to fight this, wouldn't he be finished too.

Not long ago, he was still eating melons, watching Baekje Silla beating life and death, but he never expected that Tang Jun would come in a blink of an eye.

"We must help, lips are dead and teeth are cold." Gao Jianwu tore up Yuan Gai Suwen's secret letter, gnashing his teeth: "The purpose of Tang Jun's unannounced war this time is to destroy me, Goguryeo, and he must not be allowed to succeed."

"I think so too." Ulji Wende sighed slightly, although he didn't want to help Yuangai Suwen, but he couldn't help it, just as the king said, his lips were dead and his teeth were cold.If Yuangai Suwen died, then Goguryeo would not be able to escape.

"The Tang army is ferocious and should not be underestimated. This time, we will use our entire army to resist it!"

"Yes!"

The next day, Ulji Mundeok claimed to lead an army of [-] to support the 'domestic city', intending to stop Xu Shiji and other Tang troops from advancing.

But in fact, he only has one hundred thousand.

The reason why Gao Jianwu did not support Liaodong was also on his mind.With Yuan Gai Suwen's troops, it shouldn't be difficult to defend Liaodong. When they defeat the Tang army led by Xu Shiji and others and take back Xincheng, the siege of Liaodong will be untied naturally.

Moreover, maybe he could take this opportunity to destroy Yuan Gai Suwen.

However, Gao Jianwu thought too much.

The city of Liaodong is built on the hillside, with a natural moat in front of the city gate. It can be said that it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on one side.It is very difficult to attack this kind of fortified city. If it is attacked by force, it will even cause heavy casualties.

"Yuan Gai Suwen thought I couldn't do anything about him." Xie Shufang said to the generals with a smile, "But I want him to see how he died!"

"The general means to kill Yuan Gai Suwen here?" Zhang Gongjin asked.

"That's right." Xie Shufang ordered: "Cheng Mingzhen!"

"exist!"

"You lead [-] cavalry to surround Liaodong City, and when the city is broken, you immediately start hunting. You must kill all the Goguryeo soldiers and horses, especially you can't let Yuangai Suwen go."

"Yes!" Although Cheng Mingzhen didn't know how Xie Shufang would choose to destroy the city, this was not what he should think about. Since Xie Shufang was so confident, he naturally obeyed the order.

As Cheng Ming went down, Xie Shufang looked at Li Qiang who had been silent in the tent.

"General Li, the next step is up to you."

Li Qiang chuckled, cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, this city will be destroyed!"

The generals were so confused that they didn't know exactly how Dudu Xie planned to conquer Liaodong City.

Liaodong city head.

Yuan Gaisuwen was relieved when he got the news of Gao Jianwu's support. Now he only needs to defend Liaodong, and when Gao Jianwu defeats Xu Shiji and other Tang troops, he can launch a counterattack and drive away the damned Tang troops.

"Brother, Uncle Xie is besieging and not attacking. He is obviously waiting for news from Xincheng, but he never expected that Gao Jianwu has already dispatched troops, and the Tang army will definitely be defeated this time." Yuan Jingtu said happily.

"Don't be careless." Yuan Gai Suwen frowned, full of worry, "Although we don't know what Xie Shufang's plan is, we can't be careless. Maybe Tang Jun has some other tricks that won't work."

"Report!"

A spy rushed up.

"Say."

"My lord, Tang Qi has begun to besiege the city."

"What?" Yuan Gai Su Wen was taken aback, "What do they want to do?"

"Siege the city with cavalry?" Yuan Jingtu laughed loudly, "Is Tang Jun crazy, hahaha."

The generals around Yuan Gai Suwen also laughed, mocking the Tang army who had nowhere to go but chose to attack the city with cavalry. Isn't this sending food?

Only Yuan Gai Suwen was very disturbed, he didn't think that Xie Shufang was an idiot who would choose to use cavalry to attack the city.

There must be something odd.

Oh oh oh!
The horn sounded suddenly, and everyone followed the sound, only to see the Tang flag waving in the distance, and the Tang army slowly approaching Liaodong City.

"No, they didn't want to use cavalry to attack the city." Yuan Jingtu said looking at Tang Jun who was slowly advancing ahead.

"What do they want?"

Just as they were observing suspiciously, the Tang army in front suddenly stopped on the other side of the river, and did not choose to move forward.

This completely confused Yuan Gai Su Wen.

Do not hit?

However, only two sticks of incense time passed, and suddenly there was a sound of thunderstorm from the opposite side.

"What?" Yuan Gai Suwen's pupils shrank suddenly.

In the sky, a black shadow quickly enlarged, and then hit the city wall.

Boom!

The violent explosion made Yuan Gai Su Wen fall into an ice cellar instantly.

"what!"

No one answered him because everyone was stunned.

"Shen Lei?"

"Tang Jun can actually use Shenlei?"

What responded to them was bombing one after another.

Rumble!
Cannonballs bombed Liaodong City one after another, causing Yuan Gaisuwen's soldiers to panic and run around without the slightest intention of resisting.

"Brother, run, Tang Jun has the help of Shenlei, run!" Yuan Jingtu was so frightened that he huddled under the wall and cried.

Yuan Gai Suwen was also terrified, and he also wondered whether Tang Jun really had the help of the gods and thunder.

boom!
A shell was fired not far from him, smashing the buildings at the top of the city on the spot, splashing wood chips and stones, killing countless fleeing soldiers.

A piece of stone even scratched his cheek, bleeding profusely.

He panicked.

He was afraid.

How can the Tang army defend the city with the thunder of the gods?
"Run, retreat!"

He yelled hysterically, grabbed Yuan Pure Land and began to retreat.

Before he could escape, a shell fell on his head.

boom!
"Okay!" Xie Shufang looked at the raging fire on the top of Liaodong City, clapped his hands and laughed, "With the artillery here, the strong city is as fragile as cicada's wings."

Zhang Gongjin and the others were completely stunned.

There is such a terrible siege weapon, it is so terrible!
After about half an hour, Liaodong City was bombed badly. Xie Shufang immediately ordered to cross the river and attack the city!
Liaodong City, under Xie Shufang's first strong attack, directly declared its fall.
