Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 398

When the first ascending soldiers of the Sui Army rushed towards the city wall carrying the ladder, they did not encounter resistance.They climbed up the ladder with their knives in their hands and encountered no resistance. They climbed to the top of the city and jumped forward, but they still did not encounter resistance.

In fact, after dawn, the Goguryeo people in the new city finally discovered that the city lord Yang Wanchun ran away quietly with his [-] soldiers and horses.

The Xincheng people were dumbfounded.

In order to defend the new city, they fought fiercely with the Sui army for several months, resulting in countless casualties, but in the end, the Lord Yang, who said that he would live and die with the city, actually ran away?

After the bewilderment, there is panic.

The Goguryeo people in Xincheng clearly remembered how vicious the Sui army who came to attack the city before was, that Luo Cheng actually drove tens of thousands of Goguryeo people to die.

Now that Yang Wanchun has fled, and the last three thousand soldiers have also fled, the new city cannot be defended by the tens of thousands of people in the city.Once the Sui army entered the city, wouldn't they want to massacre the city?

The panicked Xincheng people also fled at first.

There were Sui troops in the southwest, so they all ran to the northeast, hoping to catch up with Yang Wanchun's soldiers and horses and get some protection.

When the Sui army started attacking the city after dawn, the new city was in chaos. Everyone rushed to the northeast to escape out of the city with their families and families, so there was not a single defender on the city.

The city gate was opened.

A Xiandeng soldier ran to Luo Yi to report.

"Report to the general, chaos in the new city. Yang Wanchun fled to the northeast with [-] remnant soldiers last night. This morning, the Goguryeo in the new city found out that they were fleeing quietly, so they followed suit. Now the whole city is in chaos."

"Hahaha, I escaped." Luo Yi was a little proud. The emperor had a one-month deadline to destroy the city, and now he has already destroyed the new city in just a few days.

Li Yuan on the other side heaved a sigh of relief. This time he came to attack Xincheng, he had issued a military order and came with his head in his hands. Now, his heart can finally be put back in its original place.

"Enter the city first, seal the four gates, and prevent Goguryeo people from escaping. In addition, immediately control the government offices and treasuries in the city, and protect the household registration documents, money and silk materials inside." Li Shimin reminded.

"Erlang is right, hurry up." Li Yuan said.

Tens of thousands of Sui troops swarmed in, and each regiment and battalion had a clear division of labor, robbing those who controlled the city gates and those who occupied the government treasury.

Teams of government soldiers occupied the streets and alleys, and ordered the Goguryeo people to go back to their homes, not to go out, let alone resist.

"After my Heavenly Soldiers of the Sui Dynasty entered the city, those who dared to hold their weapons and refuse to surrender will be killed immediately!"

"General, the people of the world, please lead an army to pursue Yang Wanchun!"

Luo Yi said, "Let the pursuit of Yang Wanchun be done by my brothers from the Sixth Right Army. Second Young Master, you can just stay in the new city. There is chaos outside, so don't go out."

This made Li Shimin very angry, "General Luo, please don't underestimate Yu, I will definitely capture that Yang Wanchun back alive."

"It's not that I underestimate you, but I think you can't catch up with Yang Wanchun at all. If you underestimate the enemy and chase wildly, you may suffer a loss if you are not careful."

Li Yuan over there also advised his son not to chase after him. In his opinion, since the new city has been laid down, the credit is enough.Leave the pursuit to Luo Yi, he is responsible for taking over the new city.As for whether Luo Yi can catch up or not, that is Luo Yi's business.If he catches up, he, Li Yuan, has a share of the credit, after all, he is the coach.If you can't catch up, that's Luo Yi's responsibility.

"Father handsome!" Li Shimin was not reconciled, he really wanted to prove to Luo Yi that their Li family son Lang was definitely no worse than the Luo family.

Li Yuan hesitated.

"Father commander, my son, please lead a thousand light cavalry as the striker to pursue Yang Wanchun."

"Okay, you will lead 8000 people to pursue Yang Wanchun with the front compartment, and I will give you a thousand Qingqi as the forward. Go, remember, don't underestimate the enemy and rush forward, be careful."

Li Shimin was overjoyed, "Thank you handsome father." He got up and left after receiving the order, and when he turned around, he deliberately gave Luo Yi a glare.

Luo Yi chuckled.

Originally, he was going to chase Yang Wanchun, but since Li Yuan wanted to send his front compartment and let his son be the vanguard, he didn't bother to care about it.

Li Xiuning was worried about Li Shimin and wanted to go, but Li Yuan refused.After all, a girl's family is not suitable for being in the army, and it is even more inappropriate for her to fight and kill.

Li Shimin and the soldiers and horses from the front of the left first army of the [-] Imperial Battalion chased out of the city, leaving more than [-] Sui troops, but they were already further controlling the new city.

Targets were controlled one by one, followed by a city-wide raid.

In order to repay the grievances that he failed to persuade the surrender, Li Yuan ordered that all the citizens of Xincheng who had participated in the defense of the city before would be dealt with by the Goguryeo army, and the result of his disposal of these Goguryeo troops who had been stained with the blood of the Sui army was that no one would be left behind. Captive, blood for blood.

The city-wide search began. From morning till night, throughout the day, Li Yuan found more than [-] Goguryeo youths from the city, all of whom were treated as Goguryeo soldiers. .

The heads and the earth were built into a huge Jingguan, while the headless corpses were all pushed into the Xiaoliao River.

The water of the Liao River was dyed red and became a red river.

Immediately afterwards, the Sui army plundered the new city.

The government soldiers plundered wantonly, and everything they grabbed there was robbed. Fortunately, Luo Yi and Li Yuan had already prepared for it. In order to prevent chaos, they even divided the territory. , Then the two armies each divided the territory for their own Xiangtuanying for them to grab.

Except for the city lord's mansion, government offices, and government treasuries that were controlled earlier, the rest of the shops and houses were allowed to be plundered.Except for a small part of the stolen things that must be handed over, most of the rest belong to whoever snatches them.

It doesn't matter whether you are robbing gold, silver or treasure, women or livestock.

Three days.

After three full days of robbing, a large city with a circumference of more than ten miles and a population of tens of thousands hid in it, and finally became a dead city.

Tens of thousands of people have all been captured by the soldiers of the Sui army. More than 7 soldiers of the two armies are not enough to get a prisoner for each.

Basically, after three days of robbing, everyone was very satisfied. Every mansion soldier more or less grabbed a lot of good things. Many people lamented that they did not come here for nothing. They have already robbed the city of Xincheng.

The two armies were full of laughter and laughter, killing pigs and sheep, and they were very happy to talk.

"Why haven't Shimin and the others come back? Even if they didn't catch up with Yang Wanchun, they should send someone back to report."

In the city lord's mansion, Li Yuan said to his daughter Xiu Ning worriedly.

"Yes." Sanniang was also worried about her younger brother.

Night fell again, and the new city was still shrouded in a joyful atmosphere.

A team of light horses galloped towards them.

"General, hurry up and report to the general that something happened to the second young master."

"What happened?" Li Yuan's personal soldier in front of the City Lord's Mansion asked.

"The Second Young Master pursued Yang Wanchun, and it took him two days to catch up. After the Second Young Master led his army to defeat Yang Wanchun, he pursued closely, but in the end, he chased too fast, and was shot in the eye by Yang Wanchun's arrow when he returned to his horse."

"Didn't Yang Wanchun have one arm cut off by Luo Cheng? How could he return to his horse and shoot arrows?"

"It's a crossbow arrow, don't talk about it, go and report it to the general."

"Oh oh oh." The man hurriedly led the people and ran towards the city lord's mansion.

Fuchu, hall.

After Li Yuan heard the astonishing bad news, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, breaking it into pieces.

Li Xiuning exclaimed, "How is Erlang doing now?"

"Second Young Master was hit by a crossbow arrow in his left eye. Second Young Master pulled out the arrow and swallowed his eye. Fortunately, the guards rescued him. Although his life is safe, his left eye is gone."
