Chapter 229 Let's Rest in the Palace Tonight (Please Subscribe!)

...

As long as Luocheng is occupied, the royal palace will naturally be in his pocket.

In addition, Li Yan and the others only had an army of one thousand horses, and they couldn't take down the palace at all.

Therefore, after entering Luocheng, Li Yan did not attack the palace, but led his army to wipe out everything around the gate they entered, that is, the Shenfeng Gate.

Half an hour later, Yang Zhi led his battalion of horse troops to support Li Yan.

From Yang Zhi's mouth, Li Yan learned that although the Liangshan army has the absolute upper hand, the battle is still going on, and their battalion is the force squeezed out by Zhu Wu.

In addition, Yang Zhi also brought a piece of news that many rout soldiers were fleeing towards Luocheng, and those rout soldiers added up to at least a thousand people.

The news brought by Yang Zhi reminded Li Yan that Li Yan immediately ordered the city gate at the Shenfeng Gate to be closed, and ordered Qiu Yue and the two hundred horsemen to dismount and climb up the city wall to guard the gate.

Afraid of the counterattack of the Koryo army in Luocheng, Li Yan did not dare to divide his troops any more, and kept waiting.

Ok!

No one has come to snatch the door!

What Li Yan didn't know was that the reason why no one came to seize the door was because all the Korean soldiers retreated into the palace.

Another half an hour later, Hu Chun brought his battalion of horsemen to rescue Li Yan.

After letting Hu Chun in, Li Yan learned from Hu Chun that there will be fewer and fewer Korean soldiers resisting on the battlefield, and the battle should be completely over in about an hour, and then a large army can be sent to aid Li Yan.

In addition, Hu Chun also said that there will be many Korean soldiers fleeing in the direction of Luocheng.

Qiao Daoqing suggested to Li Yan: "Brother, let Brother Yang Zhi and Brother Hu Chun lead their respective troops to capture the other gates of Luocheng. As long as they capture all the gates, there is no need to worry about the Koryo army's counterattack."

Li Yan felt that Qiao Daoqing's words were justified, so he sent Yang Zhi and Hu Chun to capture the other gates.

After Yang Zhi and Hu Chun occupied all the other city gates, Lin Chong and Bian Xiang arrived with the remaining horse troops.

Lin Chong and Bian Xiang brought news that their side had won a complete victory, killing more than 5000 Korean soldiers, capturing more than [-] people, and the rest fled in the chaos.

At this point, Li Yan was completely relaxed, and then under the escort of Chen Liqing and others, he entered the government office for treatment, and Qiao Daoqing took care of the rest.

Li Yan's expedition this time, An Daoquan, as Li Yan's personal health doctor, also followed him, but Li Yan was afraid that the arrows on the battlefield would hurt the genius doctor, so he left An Daoquan in Licheng City, and only brought An Daoquan with him. Quan's two apprentices came over.

Wang Dingliu had already brought a group of people back to Li Chengcheng to take An Daoquan, and for the time being, two of An Daoquan's apprentices would treat Li Yan's wound.

Is it because Li Yan's injury is serious?

No.

Li Yan had already said that he was fine, but Qiao Daoqing and the others insisted that Wang Dingliu go back to fetch An Daoquan——Qiao Daoqing and the others were too afraid of Li Yan's accident. live.

After An Daoquan's two apprentices finished treating Li Yan's wounds, Deng Yuanjue and Peng Qi led Bubaying, Bujiuying, and Bushiying (a total of 740 eight people), and Sun An, Hu Yanqing, Han Tao, and Chen Da led Following the Sixth Army, they also came to Luocheng.

Sun An reported to Li Yan: "Brother, Army Master Zhu Wu and Master Lu took the Sixth Battalion, the Seventh Battalion, and the Fifth Army to clean up the battlefield, and then they led people back to Li Chengcheng. In addition, Army Master Zhu Wu asked me to ask my brother for instructions. Is it feasible for the navy to send the Fifth Army and the captives back to Jeju Island?"

Zhu Wu thought very carefully, and with the addition of more than 1000 captives, there were nearly [-] captives on Jeju Island. It is right for the army to send back to guard the prisoners together.

Li Yan sent a team of messengers back to order: "I agree with Zhu Wu's proposal, and another order: the navy will send half of the men and boats back to Liangshanbo headquarters immediately to pick up the fourth army and the remaining reserves. Liangshan headquarters will recruit another [-] reserves. Hand it over to Du Qian and Song Wan for training."

The strength of the troops was so stretched that Li Yan had to transfer over the newly established Fourth Army, and the 500 reserve soldiers recruited by Wen Huanzhang and trained by Du Qian and Song Mai in the future—in fact, they should have been There are no more than [-]. Guanghui originally only had two battalions of infantry. This time, expanding Guanghui's two battalions into an infantry army will inevitably take up [-] reserves, so there should only be [-] people left in the reserve.

The [-] reserve soldiers are far inferior to the previous reserve soldiers of the Liangshan Army. Those with a long training time are estimated to have only trained for a month, and those with a short training time may have only started training.

Although he knew that they were not well trained enough to be used, Li Yan still had to use them.

It's okay for slave soldiers to coax a big gang, but it's not good to fight tough battles. The most important thing is that people who are not of our race must have different hearts. Li Yan can't let slave soldiers account for a large proportion of Liangshan's army.

Not long after the messenger left, Ma Ling came to report: "Report to brother, Gaoli sent an envoy."

Li Yan, who was about to eat, first took a big mouthful of noodles, and then said inarticulately: "Let them in."

Not long after, Jin Fushi, Zheng Keyong, and Jiang Hao were brought in by Ma Ling.

Looking up at Jin Fushi and the three of them, Li Yan continued to gobble up the noodles.

Li Yan didn't mean to show off the three of them, Fu Shi, but he was really hungry - after fighting all day, Iron Man was also hungry.

The three of Jin Fushi frowned when they saw that Li Yan was wearing a bandage and holding a big bowl of noodles with his shirtless arms, and they frowned—on the one hand, Li Yan was obviously neglecting them; Happy image of a warrior!

But under the low eaves, not only did they dare not show their true emotions, but they had to greet them with smiles.

Jin Fushi bowed to Li Yan and said, "The envoy of the small country, Jin Fushi, asked for the name of the general?"

Hearing Jin Fushi's name, Li Yan looked up at him and saw that he was indeed somewhat similar to Jin Fuzhe, then lowered his head and continued eating noodles.

Li Yan didn't ask until he was full and took the napkin from Chen Liqing's hand to wipe his mouth, "What are you doing here?"

Seeing that Li Yan didn't even bother to tell them his name, the hearts of Jin Fushi and the three of them sank!
This shows that Li Yan didn't mean to talk about it.

Jin Fushi tentatively said: "There seems to be some misunderstanding between our country and your side, which has led to this situation today. Our country is very sincere to resolve this misunderstanding..."

Qiu Xian behind Li Yan said: "You sent 6 people to attack Jeju Island, is it a misunderstanding?"

Zheng Keyong said: "Then Tamna County is my territory in Koryo."

Qiu said: "It was originally the territory of Tamra Kingdom. If you are allowed to occupy it, why not allow us to occupy it?"

Zheng Keyong said: "I, Koryo, felt sorry for the poverty of Tamna, so I merged with Tamna into one country in order to provide relief. Now the royal family of Tamna is an official in Goryeo."

Guo Yongdao: "It's good to hide your ears and steal your bell. We feel sorry for your poverty in Koryo, so we merged with your Koryo into one country. Wang Yu will come to our country as an official."

Seeing that Guo Yong called Wang Matata's name directly, Jiang Hao, a royalist, had to say: "Goryeo is rich, but Tamna is poor. The merger of Goryeo and Tamna is indeed out of pity."

Guo Yong said without showing any weakness: "We are strong, while Goryeo is weak. It is true that we merged with Goryeo out of pity."

Zheng Keyong and Jiang Hao wanted to say something more, Li Yan said: "What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get it on the negotiating table... Sun An obeys orders!"

Sun An came out and said, "This subordinate is here!"

Li Yandao: "Let's rest in the palace tonight, I will give you two hours to break through the palace, as long as anyone you meet has a weapon in hand, shoot and kill, no matter who he is."
