Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 385
After breaking through Pyongyang, the Left Fifth Army spent several days searching for remnants of the enemy, confiscating money, and counting the treasury, weapons, food and grass. Although everyone was busy with their hands and feet, everyone was happy.

Break through the enemy capital and capture the thief king alive.

The whole army is like New Year's Eve.

Pyongyang, the capital of Koguryo for 700 years, is also known as Little Chang'an, with a large population and a large city.The entire city of Pyongyang and its surrounding areas have a population of more than 10. Even if the large number of troops stationed around Pyongyang are removed, and the population of the Acropolis and villages outside the city is excluded, the population of Pyongyang City still exceeds [-].

Outside of the Great Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains, Pyongyang was the only city in the east of the Great Sui Dynasty that could have a population of 10.

The accumulation of 700 years has made Pyongyang, the capital, very rich indeed.

After all, although Goguryeo is located in the northeast, it has both the Liaohe Plain and several plains on the Korean Peninsula. Especially after they defeated Baekje and Silla, they successively captured Hanjiang Plain and other places with pleasant climate and fertile land. The plain, accumulated over the years, filled the treasury of Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo.

In Pyongyang, there are still a large number of mansions and treasuries of Goguryeo nobles, and the loot obtained by the Luo family army is even several times that of the official treasury of the palace city of Pyongyang.

"Did you get in touch with Nuer?"

The Fifth Zuo Army still harvested a lot every day. Wang Ziming led a group of enlisted soldiers so busy that they couldn't get their feet off the ground. They couldn't even win a meal, and several large boxes were used to register money and materials.

And Luo Cheng's request to them is to announce the seized income in a timely manner every day, and to make a large-scale reward figure and announce it to the soldiers. I know what I know.

It is precisely because the seizures are announced every day that the enthusiasm of the brothers is very high.

And after conquering Pyongyang, another big advantage is that there are a lot of supplies in the city, everyone eats well every day, not to mention the meat, there are fresh fruits and vegetables every day, not to mention the hot summer, and finally no need to sleep in the wild Bitten by mosquitoes and exposed to the sun during the day.

It's just that when the brothers below were happy, the generals of the Fifth Left Army were a little unhappy.

It has been five days since Pyongyang was captured, and Lai Huer has not yet been contacted.

But the bad news kept coming from the north.

The Eighth Army, which was defeated and fled to the north, did not escape easily. First, Xin Shixiong of the Third Left Army was besieged behind the palace, defeated and died, and the Third Left Army was defeated.Then Yu Zhongwen organized the rear to block the enemy more than a dozen times, all of which were defeated.

After the armies fled for several days, they ran out of food.

So the most difficult moment came, and many soldiers could only kill their horses to satisfy their hunger.But without a horse, it is even more difficult to escape.

By the Yalu River.

The Goguryeo army on the west bank of the Yalu River in China, Wugu, etc. blocked the Yalu River, blocking the enemy in front and pursuing troops behind.

Yu Wenshu's Zuoyi Army, who was originally fleeing at the forefront, was attacked by the black-bone army in an ambush when they were crossing the river. Escape the Yalu River.

Nearly half of the Zuoyi Army was killed in the First World War, and more than [-] people were captured.

The other armies were also stopped in the east of the Yalu River.

Several troops from Goguryeo joined together, especially when Hou Mo, Chen Yi, and Feng Xiaoci fled to Dahang City with more than [-] troops. Converge with Ulchi Boondeok.

As many as [-] to [-] Goguryeo and Mohe troops were on the front line of the Yalu River, ruthlessly sweeping and trampling the hungry and tired Sui army.

Facing the powerful lineup of Goguryeo, the Sui army, which was already scattered and broke through, was even more scattered. Only Yu Zhongwen and Xue Shixiong finally managed to gather an army of about 5 people, and they fought and retreated all the way. Killed by Goguryeo people.

And this is all thanks to the help of Xue Shixiong's son Xue Wanshu who came from Hou Mochen. After Xue Wanshu found his father, he told him where the left five army had buried grain along the way, and then they found food along the way, which was considered a solution. After filling his stomach, he finally dared to fight.

Finally, they joined Yu Zhongwen, and the two armies retreated while fighting, relying on the food stored by the Fifth Left Army all the way to survive.

In the end, Yu Zhongwen and Xue Shixiong also withdrew to Dahang City. Although only [-] people from the [-] army retreated into Dahang City, they finally escaped and ascended to heaven.

As for the other armies, basically none of the armies escaped the Yalu River with a complete organizational system, and they were basically defeated and then scattered and fled.

According to the chaotic information received on the battlefield, the Ninth Army that crossed the Yalu River, except for Luo Cheng's Left Fifth Army, and the other Eighth Army, only Yu Xue Er led 20 people to withdraw to Daxing City, and the remaining [-] or so Ten thousand troops, less than [-] Sui troops broke through and rushed across the Yalu River.

Nearly 4 people were directly killed on the hundreds of miles from Pyongyang to the Yalu River, and nearly 15 people were captured.

And even for the tens of thousands of Sui troops who escaped the Yalu River, it was extremely difficult to escape all the way back to the Liaohe River. They had no organizational system and no food, and they had to pass through many Goguryeo mountain cities along the way for hundreds of miles.

More than 1 horses from the Ninth Army crossed the river, Dahang City had [-] horses from the Fifth Left Army led by Song Laosheng, plus [-] people from the Fifth Left Army brought by Hou Mochen and the others, plus Xue Shixiong, Yu Zhong Of the [-] people brought by Wen, there are still [-] in total, guarding Daxing City, which can be regarded as temporarily stable.

Then there is the city of Pyongyang. After the capture of Pyongyang, there are still more than [-] people left under the Luocheng Division.

It's just that although Dahang City now has [-] people, it is difficult to protect itself.

After defeating the Eighth Army on the Yalu River, Ulji Wendeok and Gao Jianwu quickly sent troops down the river, and finally surrounded Dahang City with a total of 18 Goguryeo and Mohe allied forces.

The small Dahang City is also a city that is overwhelmed by clouds.

Moreover, the people in Dahang City didn't know whether Luo Cheng had succeeded in going to Pyongyang.

I don't even know if Luo Cheng has contacted Nuer.

Pyongyang.

It has been five days since the city was broken, and Luo Cheng still hasn't contacted Nuer.

The person who went to Beijiangkou to find the guardian came back and reported that there were only traces of the Sui army camping there, but no Sui army was found.Lai Huer seems to have evacuated with the navy.

Hear this return.

The generals of the Left Fifth Army in Pyongyang were silent.

He tried his best to kill the carbine, and stole the city of Pyongyang under the eyes of 10,000+ Goguryeo people, but now, Lai Huer is not at the beach, and there is no one to be found?

"This is really another bad news. The other bad news is that the Eighth Army has been completely defeated, and there is no possibility of returning to Pyongyang. Moreover, Gao Jianwu and Ulji Wende have surrounded Hou Mo and Chen Changshi in Dahang City. They seem to be I also discovered that it was not all of our left five armies, so the Goguryeo army may return to the city of Pyongyang at any time."

"Without the support of the sailors who came to protect the children, it is impossible for us to defend Pyongyang City." Wei Zheng frowned.
