Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 391 The Disappeared Pyongyang

A day in the middle of August.

At dawn, sixty miles north of Pyongyang, on the only way to Pyongyang, a Goguryeo vanguard cavalry was galloping southward.

An hour later.

This Qingqi finally came to the city of Pyongyang.

However, under the rising sun, these Qingqi were all standing there in a daze.

Originally, in the past, as long as you turned around this hill and passed through this forest, you could see the majestic Pyongyang city on the bank of Beijiang River in front of you at a glance.

You can even cross the city wall of the outer city and see the palace city of Chang'an on the high hill in the center of the city.

But now, they wiped their eyes vigorously, but they still didn't see the majestic city.It seems that overnight, the city of Pyongyang disappeared, and the city of Chang'an Palace also disappeared.

"Where's Pyongyang City?" A Qingqi couldn't help but speak.

"I don't know, did we get lost and went in the wrong direction?"

"Impossible. I grew up in the city of Pyongyang. I have walked this road hundreds of times. How can I make a mistake? Pyongyang is right there, right there."

"But there's nothing there."

Everyone wiped their eyes vigorously.

Someone said, "No, it's not that there is nothing there. Look, there are many people there."

"where?"

"Just there."

After the leading Qingqi finished speaking, he galloped forward.

The more you ride, the closer you get.

People say that Wangshan is a dead horse. I used to be able to see Pyongyang City from this intersection, but in fact it is at least [-] miles away from Pyongyang.Waiting for them to drive all the way to the city, the more they go, the more frightened they are.

I saw that the once majestic Pyongyang City has disappeared, it really disappeared, they did not go in the wrong direction, and they did not get lost. This is where Pyongyang City was originally, but now Pyongyang City is gone.

Instead, there are rubble and ashes all over the place, with countless broken walls and ruins.

There are also countless hungry women, children, old and weak.

Since the Goguryeo striker appeared on the banks of the Sashui River three days ago, the last Sui army in Pyongyang began to evacuate.They burned the last of their food supplies, burned down the huts of the old and weak Goguryeo, and then left a group of bewildered Goguryeos and rode south, leaving them here to fend for themselves.

No one urges them to demolish cities and fill rivers, and no one cares about them anymore, but no one provides them with food.

They started to wander around, but the surrounding area had already been swept away by the Sui army.

Larger towns and villages were also burned by the Sui army with Goguryeo captives. Wells were filled, houses were burned, and even unharvested crops were burned.

Fortunately, it is only August at this time, the grass and trees are not withered and yellow, and some grass roots and bark can still be found in the field to satisfy the hunger. It is just that a hundred thousand old and weak women and children gather together, and they have already eaten all the food around them in just three days up.

Many people stared with hunger.

When they saw the long-lost Goguryeo soldiers, they all shed tears.

They swarmed up, tore these light cavalry off their horses in a hurry, and told them the brutality and ruthlessness of the Sui army, how they tore down Pyongyang City.

"What? The city of Pyongyang was demolished by the Sui army?"

"What, Your Majesty was captured by the Sui Army?"

"What, Pyongyang and its surrounding area have been completely destroyed?"

·······
Unbelievable news.

While the hungry Goguryeo people were telling about the barbaric deeds of these Sui people, they were already grabbing the dry food from the Goguryeo soldiers. Divide and grab raw meat.

Qingqi who lost his mount was extremely shocked.

When they woke up, they walked on foot on the ruins of the once majestic Pyongyang City, looking at the capital that was left with only a piece of rubble and ashes.

"Our Pyongyang, our Chang'an, our royal city!"

After crying bitterly, the captain returned to the place where the mounts were slaughtered. At this time, the dozens of war horses had been snatched clean by the flocking hungry people, and there was not even a bit of flesh left.

Seeing the horrible appearance of those people drinking blood, these Qingqi forwards couldn't help but feel cold.

"Where did the Sui army go?"

"Brutal Sui army, they broke through Pyongyang, captured the king alive, and robbed Pyongyang City and Chang'an Palace City of treasures, money and food, and then forced our [-] young men to go south. They must have gone It is said that they are going to the sea to take a boat back to the Sui Kingdom in the Central Plains."

Upon hearing the news, the captain immediately said to his subordinates, "You must tell Marshal Ulchi the news immediately, you must not let those nasty Sui people escape, you must catch up with them, rescue the king, and kill them." Just those Sui people!"

"But we don't have any horses now?" A Qingqi pointed to a pool of blood on the ground, which was the blood of their mounts, but now their mounts didn't even have any bones left.

"Even if we run with our feet, we have to rush back to report this important news."

The Goguryeo Qingqi were very angry, and their angry hearts were about to burst. The great city of Pyongyang was destroyed, and the king was captured. This must not be tolerated.

The angry Qingqi team immediately threw off their legs, regardless of their fatigue, and hurried back. They wanted to tell the important, terrible and annoying news to Commander Ulchi immediately.

They walked on two legs, ran for a day and a night, and ran for a full 180 miles, and finally met another forward Qingqi who was going south, so they borrowed horses from those Qingqi, ran for another 120 miles, and finally met B Zhi Wende.

The [-] troops led by Eulji Moondeok had already crossed Sashui at this time, and they were still three hundred miles away from Pyongyang City.

He summoned those Qingqi who were exhausted by travel and dust in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"What are you talking about? The city of Pyongyang has disappeared? The king has been captured?"

Ulchi was shocked by this news like a fool.

He even thought that these Qingqi had lost their minds, otherwise how could such a news be reported.

"Marshal, the news is absolutely true. We have seen it with our own eyes. Pyongyang City has been razed by Luo Cheng of the Sui Zuo Fifth Army. There is no house in Pyongyang City, a section of the city wall is gone, and even the palace city has been demolished. The Huchi River has been filled in. Everything is gone, Pyongyang is gone!"

Ulji Wenduk only felt the sky spinning for a while, and then he couldn't stand stably and fell backwards.

"Send the order, the whole army advances at full speed, heading straight for Pyongyang!"

Being helped up by his personal guards, Ulji hurriedly gave the order despite being dizzy.

Three hundred miles away.

Ulchi Wende took eight thousand Qingqi himself, dropped his pawns and galloped south. It took only one day and one night to rush to Pyongyang.

When he stood in front of the ruins and looked at the Pyongyang city that had disappeared, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"I, Eulji Wende, swear to Tianming that I will kill Luo Cheng in this life!"
