Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1704
In this battle, the Tang army destroyed [-] Goguryeo soldiers and horses, almost killing half of the entire Goguryeo army, while the Tang army only suffered thousands of casualties.

However, none of the shocking sounds carried by Tang Jun was left, and they were all thrown on the tower.

Otherwise, if there was not such a loud noise, Datang would definitely have suffered many more casualties.

However, in Qin Tian's eyes, although Zhentianxiang is important, it is also inferior to human life. If Zhentianxiang is gone, it can still be transported from Chang'an City. If there are no people, there will really be no more.

It was dusk when the battle ended.

The weather is still hot, and the sound of cicadas can be heard from time to time in the woods outside the city.

The smell of blood soared to the sky, making people want to vomit.

Tang Jun began to clean up the battlefield, but Qin Tian only asked Tang Jun to strip the valuables from the Goguryeo soldiers. Qin Tian didn't ask them to deal with these corpses.

With so many corpses, even if they were all burned, it would take many days.

And now they don't have time to wait for these corpses to be burned, so they can only let the corpses stay in Huangcheng, and after they rest here for one night, they will continue to go to Koguryo King City tomorrow.

Since they want to encircle Wei to rescue Zhao and force Lin Wuwei to return to aid, then they don't go straight to the Goguryeo royal city, so that Goguryeo has a sense of urgency, I am afraid that Lin Wuwei will not return to aid, right?

As for these corpses, whoever wants to deal with them will deal with them. Anyway, Tang Jun doesn't have them.

The corpses of the generals of the Tang army made a small fortune. After returning home, the money can allow them to live comfortably for a period of time, and can feed their families for a year or two.

And this can be regarded as an invisible benefit Qin Tian gave them.

The night passed like this, and in the early morning of the next day, Qin Tian and Xue Rengui led their soldiers and horses and rushed to the Goguryeo King City in a mighty manner.

When Tang Jun left Huangcheng, Goguryeo had already received the news.

At that time, just after dawn, Tian Yuan was still resting in the bedroom, when a palace official hurried over. ,

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The palace man yelled twice, Tian Yuan was a little angry, and sat up reluctantly: "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, something is wrong. The Tang army broke through Huangcheng. Almost all of my Goguryeo troops in Huangcheng were wiped out. Only Hu Weifeng escaped with [-] soldiers."

After hearing the news, Tian Yuan sat paralyzed on the head of the bed. He couldn't believe it was true. He had [-] troops in Huangcheng, so it shouldn't be a problem to stop Tang Jun, right?

But why was it broken by Tang Jun?

Even if it is broken by Tang Jun, it is impossible to break it in such a short time, right?
Uneasy, uneasy, Tian Yuan felt uneasy and fearful for the first time, and even a little desperate. There were only [-] soldiers left in Huangcheng. Even if the [-] soldiers returned, he would only have [-] soldiers. Soldiers and horses, I'm afraid they can't stop Tang Jun.

If the Tang army captured his royal city, then his Koguryo Kingdom would cease to exist.

"Trash, trash, Hu Weifeng mistook me, Hu Weifeng mistook me."

At this time, Tian Yuan cast all his anger on Hu Weifeng. If it wasn't for Hu Weifeng's disadvantage in fighting, why did this happen to them in Goguryeo?

After scolding, Tian Yuan sat up from the bed and ordered the court officials to come to the hall to discuss matters.

Not long after, all the courtiers came, and Tian Yuan told the news of the defeat of Huangcheng. After saying this, Tian Yuan asked: "My dear friends, now the Tang army is coming to our royal city. There are [-] soldiers and horses in my royal city, how can these soldiers and horses stop the Tang army?"

With a very pessimistic tone, after Tian Yuan finished speaking, someone quickly stood up: "Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses in Huangcheng should rush back to the royal city soon. After they come back, we have [-] soldiers and horses." Maybe it can stop the Tang army. As long as General Lin Wuwei destroys Silla, our soldiers and horses and Baekje soldiers will come to help. At that time, the Tang army can be defeated, so we only need to hold on for a while. It's done."

The official said a relatively risky solution, that is, pinned their hopes on themselves, and they guarded the city gate by themselves, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive, instead of withdrawing Lin Wuwei immediately.

However, after he finished speaking, many officials in the court started to shout.

"Nonsense, you are simply nonsense. My Goguryeo is now at the critical point of life and death. With only [-] soldiers and horses, we can defeat the Tang army. Don't dream, the [-] soldiers and horses in Huangcheng can't. Ours [-] powers?"

"Yes, yes, if you want me to say, it is safest to transfer Lin Wuwei back to Wangcheng. With Lin Wuwei's soldiers and horses, plus these soldiers and horses, let's say that there are at least [-] soldiers and horses, [-] soldiers and horses , we may be able to stalemate with the Tang army for a while, and if Baekje is willing to send troops to help, our chances of winning will be even greater."

After someone said this, some other people who supported the adventure became tit-for-tat again.

"Lin Wuwei is about to destroy the Silla Kingdom. If we let them retreat at this time, our plan will fall short. If so, why did we send troops to attack the Silla Kingdom? If we didn't send troops, the Tang army would like to have the current situation. ,Can?"

"That's right, that's right. We should hold on for a while to buy time for Lin Wuwei to destroy Silla."

"........."

Both sides have their own opinions and quarrel constantly.

Tian Yuan sat on the top, his face was a little ugly, he waved his hand: "Quiet."

Everyone turned their attention, and immediately, he made a decision.

"Hurry up and tell Lin Wuwei to lead his troops back to help as soon as possible. The affairs of Silla are temporarily put aside, and we will talk about it later when we have a chance."

Tian Yuan was courageous, but the premise was that Tang Jun couldn't hit his royal city, but now that Tang Jun was about to hit him, it was absolutely impossible for him not to be nervous.

Under the current situation, he doesn't have the guts to bet that his [-] soldiers can last for a few days. In this case, all they can do is to call back reinforcements and stop Tang Jun at that time , Force them to retreat and return to the country, and then find an opportunity to teach Silla a lesson.

After Tian Yuan gave the order, many people in the court were a little bit sorry, while others finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Lin Wuwei came back with soldiers and horses, then they should have no problem stopping Tang Jun.

"Also, send someone to the Baekje Kingdom and ask the king of the Baekje Kingdom to send troops to our royal city for rescue. Otherwise, Goguryeo will be destroyed, and Baekje will never get any benefits."

"Here!"

After someone took the order, they retreated quickly, and it was only at this time that Tian Yuan finally calmed down slowly, and was no longer so uneasy.
