Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1699
Tang Jun won a complete victory and finally gave up his previous anger.

After Goguryeo's soldiers and horses hid back in the city, they did not stay on the battlefield too much. After cleaning the battlefield a little, they returned to the barracks.

But now, Xue Rengui only has more than 5000 soldiers and horses left.

After they returned to the big tent in the army, they were all very excited.

"This battle was really refreshing."

"That's right, that's right, it's really refreshing."

"General, what should we do next? Should we take down Phoenix City in one go?"

Everyone turned their attention to Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui thought for a moment, then shook his head: "After this battle, the soldiers and horses of Silla Kingdom must not dare to go out of the city to fight us. If we want to take Phoenix City, we must We can only attack the city, but we don't have many soldiers and horses, and the attack will only increase the casualties. If my prediction is correct, after Hu Weifeng returns, he will ask their court for reinforcements. When their reinforcements arrive, we will The goal has been achieved, so what we have to do now is to wait for the arrival of Young Master Qin, and after our soldiers and horses from the Tang Dynasty have also arrived, it will not be too late to attack Phoenix City."

When they heard that there would be no attack, the crowd didn't think it was a big deal, because in their view, Qin Tian came here with his soldiers and horses only a few days ago, and they just waited.

After saying this, the Tang army began to rest. Of course, in order to guard against Goguryeo's attack on the camp, they also made some arrangements and preparations.

On the Huangcheng side, after Hu Weifeng returned to the city with his soldiers, he ordered his brother's body to be buried.

After being buried like this, his entire face became pale and terrifying.

"General, Tang Jun has bullied people too much. We must avenge General Hu."

"Yes, we must take revenge."

"General, tomorrow, when we send troops again, we must destroy the Tang army and kill Xue Rengui."

"........."

The soldiers of Goguryeo kept yelling, but Hu Weifeng waved his hands and said, "I must avenge this revenge, but with our current strength, I am afraid that we are no longer Xue Rengui's opponent. Send people back to Beijing as soon as possible, tell His Majesty the news here, and ask His Majesty to send troops to help, otherwise, Phoenix City will be lost."

Speaking of this, Hu Weifeng raised his eyebrows and said: "If the Phoenix City is lost, the Tang army will directly march down and approach my Koguryo King City. At that time, I, Goguryeo, will be in danger."

The area of ​​Goguryeo is not large, so there are not many cities that can be used as passes. Huangcheng, as a border city, naturally counts as one, and besides Huangcheng, there is another royal city. Between them, they naturally There are also some cities, but these cities are not very strong, and the terrain is not good. As long as the Tang army breaks through the Phoenix City, it is easy to break through these cities.

Therefore, if they don't want Tang Jun to go straight to Wangcheng, they have to defend Huangcheng.

Therefore, Hu Weifeng knew that even if he lost the battle here, after his people went to the royal city, their king Tian Yuan would still dispatch troops for him. The key was to see how much Tian Yuan gave.

After Hu Weifeng finished speaking, the generals looked at each other, then nodded, and said: "We listen to the general, and immediately send someone to the king's city to tell His Majesty the news."
-
A day later, Hu Weifeng's messenger had arrived at their royal city.

Above the main hall, the messenger told the situation of the imperial city.

"Your Majesty, General Hu led us to win a battle and defeated Xue Rengui's soldiers. However, a fierce general appeared in their army, and they designed to kill General Hu Kuang, which caused us The army was in disarray, giving them an opportunity to take advantage of. Our army was defeated. Now, General Hu has only [-] troops guarding Huangcheng, while Qin Tian of the Tang Dynasty has already brought [-] troops. The general ordered me to come here and ask the Holy Majesty to support the troops."

After the envoy explained the situation in this way, the whole hall suddenly became noisy.

"What, I, Goguryeo, lost?"

"This Hu Weifeng is really useless, can't even beat [-] Tang troops?"

"That's right, this Hu Weifeng, he should be withdrawn."

"Your Majesty, please punish Hu Weifeng severely."

"........."

The ministers were a little angry that Hu Weifeng had lost the battle, so you looked at me and said one word, and looked down on him a bit. However, Tian Yuan sat on the dragon chair, but frowned slightly, not because Hu Weifeng beat him. The battle was lost, but because these people in the DPRK did not grasp the key points.

Now, is it time to punish Hu Weifeng? What they have to do now is how to resist the Tang army and buy time for them to destroy Silla.

"Okay, be quiet."

Tian Yuan waved his hand, and the whole hall fell silent.

Everyone looked at Tian Yuan, and Tian Yuan said: "My dear friends, now is not the time to discuss this, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty will rush to Huangcheng soon, if the city of Huangcheng is lost, the Tang army will definitely enter for a long time, and come straight to me Goguryeo King City, so now we are trying to stop the Tang army, Hu Weifeng wants soldiers to support, I think it is possible, how many soldiers and horses do you think can be mobilized to go there?"

Tian Yuan's words are very decisive, that is, to mobilize troops and horses to go there, needless to say other things, the only difference is how much to mobilize to go there.

The officials of the court looked at each other, and soon, a person stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the number of troops that I can mobilize in Goguryeo is only [-]. I must keep some of them here in the royal city, so I think it would be more appropriate to mobilize [-] soldiers to go to Huangcheng, so there should be [-] soldiers in Huangcheng, so it shouldn't be a big problem to stop the Tang army's tens of thousands of soldiers."

After the official stood up, other people in the court quickly followed suit. They left [-] soldiers and horses in the royal city, so they can protect themselves.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that it is more appropriate to mobilize [-] troops."

"Your Majesty, I also think that [-] soldiers and horses are better."

"........."

Everyone said one sentence to another, but at this time, another official stood up: "Your Majesty, the importance of the Phoenix City is needless to say, if the Phoenix City is lost, my Royal City will have to face the Tang army. At that time, it was not just as simple as facing the Tang army directly, but my morale in Goguryeo would also be affected. The country will not be a country, so in my opinion, I should mobilize [-] soldiers and horses to support Huangcheng, and completely block the Tang army from outside Huangcheng. , don’t give them the slightest chance to go east.”

This official is very brave, but the others are disdainful after hearing this. Mobilizing [-] soldiers and horses is a bit equivalent to going out in full force. Isn't the defense of their royal city very weak?

Their king would not agree.

However, Tian Yuan nodded: "Sure."
