Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 376 The Fall of Pyongyang
Yu Wenshu was only sixty miles away from Pyongyang, and they didn't know that Lai Huer of the Navy had already entered Pyongyang and was driven out again.

Laihuer entered Pyongyang three days ago.

At that time, he took advantage of the victory and pursued to the city of Pyongyang, where he challenged and scolded, and the Goguryeo soldiers came out of the city to fight.Goguryeo was defeated, and Lai Huer took advantage of the situation to chase and enter the city.

This would have been a great opportunity.

But in fact, this is just a trick of the Goguryeo people.

The Sui army invaded the outer city of Pyongyang, and the Goguryeo people seemed to have collapsed, but in fact they all separated and ambush.The Sui army that entered the city was still chasing and killing Goguryeo soldiers at first, but after chasing them for a while, they found that they couldn't find a complete Goguryeo army formation, so they began to loot around.

Originally, the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty used to serve as soldiers during the war and farm when they were free. Soldiers had no food and wages and had to prepare their own armor and weapons. In the event of a war, not only would the farming time be delayed, but also a lot of money would be spent on replenishing equipment.This extra money can only be captured and rewarded by fighting.Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Sui army's soldiers is still relatively high, but it is also a habit of the Sui army to like to plunder.

Now that the enemy's capital has been invaded and there is no resistance, then if we don't grab it now, when will we wait?

The various armies looted everywhere, and even divided their territories, group by group, and even groups of groups robbed along the street.Armed with knives and guns, the government soldiers rushed into the shops and courtyards in groups of three or five, and grabbed everything they saw.What gold and silver are soft, what money and silk women, in short, those who can be valuable, will not be let go.

In less than half a day, the robbing has been messed up.

Many government soldiers were carrying all kinds of looted things on their backs, and even wrapped many silk clothes around their bodies one after another. They held bronze utensils in their left hand and money in their right. There are several Goguryeo women.

Everyone robbed happily, and really thought that everything was fine.

Even the general of the Ninth Army of the Left and the commander of the Navy came to protect his children, but he couldn't control the situation.

The marshal couldn't find the general, the general couldn't find the school lieutenant, and an army was divided into countless groups.

The huge outer city of Pyongyang is full of looting and even arson.

Originally, Hu'er wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack the inner city and the palace, but seeing this situation, he had to say let the brothers grab it first, and when there are enough, they will naturally return to the team. Worrying about them running away.

What he didn't expect was that although the Goguryeo people lost 7000 to [-] troops in Jiangxiyuan and outside the city, there were actually [-] Goguryeo troops in the entire Pyongyang city, and that didn't count the Goguryeo people who had hurriedly armed themselves during this period of time. Min Zhuang, as well as the servants of the nobles.

In fact, in the entire Goguryeo city of Pyongyang, there are more than [-] soldiers and civilians capable of fighting.

They all hid in every corner, watching the Sui army looting quietly, letting the Sui army continue to disperse in a hurry.

The navy's looting continued for most of the day, and seeing that it was already dusk, it was not over yet.

Twilight fell, and the sky darkened little by little.

At this time, the big bell in the royal city rang.

With the sound of the bell, one Goguryeo soldier after another came out of the twilight.

They had been preparing for a long time, but the Sui army was scattered all over, especially since their bodies were covered with looted trophies, it was extremely inconvenient to move.

In the streets and alleys, in the courtyard, countless fights unfolded.

The Sui army was caught off guard.

Many government soldiers wanted to fight back at this time, but found that they were outnumbered and could not find their teammates around.

When Lai Hu'er found out that something was wrong, she was already powerless.

The 4 horses who entered the city were divided and strangled by three times the Goguryeo army.

But the Sui Army was in the twilight, as lost as a lost lamb.

soon.

The Sui army fled outside the city.

Goguryeo chased and killed all the way.

When Lai Hu'er fled to the Fashang camp of the original Zhou Dynasty in Jiangxi Province with his defeated soldiers, Goguryeo won the victory and retreated.

Lai Hu'er asked someone to count the defeated army. Forty thousand troops lost three out of four in the first battle.

3 horses failed to escape, most of them were killed, and some were captured.

If it weren't for the presence of Zhou Faying's camp, Lai Hu'er would have been a prisoner of the Goguryeo people.

After this defeat, although Lai Huer still had 6 Zhou Fashang, only 6 of the [-] soldiers fought, and the remaining [-] were soldiers.As a last resort, we had to camp overnight and return to the sea by boat.

When Yu Wenshu and others from the north arrived sixty miles north of Pyongyang, Lai Huer had already returned to Beijiangkou, which was two hundred miles away from Pyongyang by the sea.

The Goguryeo people defeated the Sui Army's navy, and only then did the scene of Ulji Mundeok running to the Uwenshu camp arrogantly appear.

It's just that Yu Wenshu and others didn't know about these precious military information, and neither did Luo Cheng, who was further north.

So when Yu Wenshu and others killed all the way to the city of Pyongyang, there were still [-] soldiers in Pyongyang at this time, and there were no worries.

And behind Yu Wenshu and others, there are still [-] soldiers and horses in ambush.

The Sui army missed a precious opportunity for victory. If Lai Huer hadn't rushed into Pyongyang City, but had just led an army of [-] to slowly push to the bottom of Pyongyang City, and then besieged the city, while dividing troops to sweep the periphery of Pyongyang, and so on. If the nine armies come together, there is still a great chance that the strategy of the Sui army will be realized.

But in the face of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy the enemy's capital, the general Lai Huer couldn't hold back.He broke into Pyongyang, and his men couldn't resist the urge to loot.

Lai Hu'er fell into the trick of luring the enemy, and Yu Wenshu also fell into the trick of luring the enemy.

So the precious opportunity was missed, Lai Huer failed to stick to Jiangxiyuan, he just retreated to the seaside, and Yu Wenshu's Eighth Army came.

Two big armies, perfect miss.

But Yu Wenshu thought that the nurse hadn't arrived yet, and thought he still had a strong backup.

Even if the entire army only had food and grass for a few days at this time, they still dreamed of breaking through Pyongyang in a single battle.

The Eighth Army rushed all the way to the city of Pyongyang without any rest. Yu Wenshu couldn't wait to order to attack the city. He had to hurry because the whole army only had a few days of food and grass left.

The siege begins.

Countless soldiers and ants are attacking the city, and lacking siege equipment, they can only use the crude ladders made in a hurry to cross the ditches and put them on the city wall.

It's just that Pyongyang City was the capital of the Goguryeo people for 700 years after all. As the capital for hundreds of years, the operation is not generally strong.What's more, there are more than [-] soldiers, horses and strong people in the city at this time.

After sieging the city for one day, thousands of people were killed and injured, and as a result, not even one person could reach the top of the city.

The next day they continued their strong attack, causing thousands of casualties, but they still failed to reach the top of the city.It seems that no matter how powerful the Sui army's attack was, the Goguryeo defenders could handle it.

"Where is Luo Cheng? Didn't he say he's coming? What about others, where are the members of the Fifth Left Army?" Yu Wenshu yelled at the city of Pyongyang.
